(m) In addition to any other remedies provided hereunder, in the event that the non-compliance, or delay in compliance, by any Member with respect to any information pursuant to this 3.3 results in the imposition of any additional tax or other cost affecting directly or indirectly the Company or the other Members, if any, to the extent the Board determines it is appropriate to do so (after taking into account the requirements of maintaining RIC status and other factors), the Company may take any and all actions necessary to cause such additional tax or expense to be borne by the Units held by such non-compliant or delaying Member.

3.4 Management and Control of Company.

3.4.1 Board of Directors.

(a) Initially, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) will be composed of six (6) directors (each, a “Director”). A majority of the Directors may at any time increase or decrease the number of Directors; provided that the number of Directors may never be less than one or more than 12 unless this Agreement is amended pursuant to 12.1, in which case the Company may have more than 12 Directors but never less than one.

(b) A quorum of the Board shall consist of a majority of the exact number of Directors fixed from time to time in accordance with 3.4.1(a). At each meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present, all questions and business shall be determined by the vote of such number of Directors as constitute a majority of the Board (regardless of the number of Directors present at the meeting), unless a different vote is required by this Agreement. Directors may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or other communication equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in Person at such meeting.

- 6 -

(c) The Directors will be divided into three classes, each serving staggered three-year terms. However, the initial members of the three classes have initial terms of one, two and three years, as indicated on Schedule A. At each annual meeting of the Members, the successors to the class of Directors whose terms expire at such meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of the Members held in the third year following the year of their election. Each Director may be elected to the Board with the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the outstanding Units entitled to vote in the election of such Director at which a quorum is present (as set forth in 3.7); provided that the Board, subject to the vote of a majority in interest of the Common Unitholders, may amend this Agreement to alter the vote required to elect Directors. Except to the extent provided in Sections 3.4.1(f) and (g), each Director will hold office for the term to which he or she is elected and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.

(d) The name of each Director, such Director’s class, and the year of expiration of such Director’s term, shall be listed on Schedule A, which shall be updated as necessary.

(e) The majority of the Directors will at all times consist of Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Company, the Adviser or any of their respective Affiliates (the “Independent Directors”).

(f) A Director may resign from the Board at any time. If a Director is determined by the Board to have committed an act that constitutes Cause, such Director may be removed from his or her position by a vote of a majority in interest of the Common Unitholders. In addition, any Director may be removed from his or her position by a vote at a duly called meeting of the Board of least 80% of the Directors then seated.

(g) Any and all vacancies on the Board as a result of resignation or removal may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors in office, even if the remaining Directors do not constitute a quorum, and any Director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is duly elected and qualifies, subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.

(h) A majority of the Directors have the authority to form committees of the Board from time to time to the extent that it determines that it is appropriate to do so. The Board shall have an audit committee, which will be responsible for selecting, engaging and discharging the Company’s independent accountants, reviewing the plans, scope and results of the audit engagement with the Company’s independent accountants, approving professional services provided by the Company’s independent accountants (including compensation therefor), reviewing the independence of the Company’s independent accountants, reviewing the adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, establishing guidelines and making recommendations to the Board regarding the valuation of the Company’s assets for which market quotations are not readily available, and taking any other actions consistent with the audit committee charter or as may be authorized by the Board. The chairperson of the audit committee has been designated by the Board as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the SEC. The names of each of the members of the audit committee and the member who serves as chairperson of the audit committee shall be listed on Schedule B, which shall be updated as necessary.

- 7 -

3.4.2 Management by the Board.

(a) The management, policies and control of the Company shall be vested exclusively in the Board; provided, however, that the Board may delegate its rights and powers to third parties, including the Adviser, as it may determine. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, consent or approval by the Company shall be determined by the Board.

(b) The Board may appoint and elect (as well as remove or replace with or without cause), as it deems necessary, a President, Vice Presidents, a Treasurer, a Chief Financial Officer, a Secretary, a Chief Compliance Officer and any other officer of the Company (collectively, the “Officers”). The compensation, if any, of the Officers shall be determined by the Board. The name of each Officer and such Officer’s position shall be listed on Schedule C, which shall be updated by an Officer, as necessary.

(c) The Officers shall perform such duties and may exercise such powers as may be assigned to them by the Board.

(d) Unless the Board decides otherwise, if the title of any Person authorized to act on behalf of the Company under this 3.4.2 is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such Person of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to any specific delegation of, or restriction on, authority and duties made pursuant to this 3.4.2. Any number of titles may be held by the same Person. Any delegation pursuant to this 3.4.2 may be revoked at any time by the Board.

(e) The Board may authorize any Person, including any Officer, to sign on behalf of the Company. Unless authorized to do so by the Board, no Officer shall have any power or authority to bind the Company in any way, to pledge its credit, or to render it liable for any purpose.

3.4.3 Powers of Board.

Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, the Board shall have the power on behalf and in the name of the Company to implement the objectives of the Company and to exercise any rights and powers the Company may possess, including, without limitation, the power to cause the Company to (a) make any elections available to the Company under applicable tax or other laws, (b) make any investments permitted under this Agreement, (c) satisfy any Company obligations (such as payment of the Management Fee, Incentive Fee and other Company Expenses), (d) effect a reorganization, (e) make any disposition of Company assets including through an in-kind redemption of Units in connection with a reorganization, or (f) cause the redemption of Units permitted under this Agreement.

Such authorization shall not be deemed a restriction on the power of the Board to cause the Company to enter into other documents.

3.4.4 Certain Related Transactions.

Subject to applicable law, the Company may, as necessary or appropriate, employ or retain the Adviser or any Jefferies Affiliate who is in the business of providing such services to provide services (including, without limitation, consulting, valuation, appraisal and brokerage services), such that the Adviser or any Jefferies Affiliate may receive from the Company compensation in addition to that expressly provided for in this Agreement. As provided in 3.4.2, 5.2.1 and 13.1.3, the Company has been authorized to enter into the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser and the Administration Agreement with the Administrator. Any other agreement that the Company enters into with the Adviser or any Jefferies Affiliate shall meet the following requirements: (i) the compensation and other terms and conditions under which services are to be rendered or the transaction is to be entered into are embodied in a written contract that precisely describes such services or transaction and the compensation therefor, (ii) such contract is terminable at will by the Company, without penalty, upon not more than 60 days’ prior written notice, (iii) the terms and conditions of such contract are at least as favorable to the Company as those generally available from unaffiliated third parties in arm’s-length transactions, (iv) the transaction is entered into principally for the benefit of the Company, and (v) such contract shall be approved by prior written consent of Platinum. The Company shall notify the Members of any such agreement with the Adviser or any Jefferies Affiliate in the Company reports issued for the quarter in which such agreement is entered into.

3.5 Activities of Members.

Notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement, any Member and its respective direct and indirect partners, members, stockholders, officers, directors, managers, trustees, employees, agents and Affiliates may invest, participate, or engage in (for their own accounts or for the accounts of others), or may possess an interest in, other financial ventures and investment and professional activities of every kind, nature and description, independently or with others, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or initiated, including but not limited to: management of other investment vehicles; investment in, financing, acquisition or disposition of securities; investment and management counseling; providing brokerage and investment banking services; or serving as officers, directors, managers, consultants, advisers or agents of other companies, partners of any partnership, members of any limited liability company or trustees of any trust (and may receive fees, commissions, remuneration or reimbursement of expenses in connection with these activities), whether or not such activities may conflict with any interest of the Company or any Member. The fact that a Member may encounter opportunities to purchase, otherwise acquire, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of investment assets, other assets or other business ventures and may take advantage of such opportunities itself or introduce such opportunities to entities in which it has or does not have any interest shall not subject such Member to liability to the Company or to any of the other Members on account of the lost opportunity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit any Member or any Affiliate of any Member from dealing with, or otherwise engaging in business with, any other Member or any Person transacting business with the Company or any Portfolio Company. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any rights, solely by virtue of this Agreement, in or to any activities permitted by this 3.5 or to any fees, income, profits or goodwill derived from such activities.

3.6 Meetings of Members.

Commencing with the calendar year that begins after the date hereof, the Company will hold an annual meeting for the purposes of electing Directors and offering the Members the opportunity to review and discuss the Company’s investment activity and portfolio, and for such other business as may lawfully come before the Members. Annual meetings shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting. Special meetings of the Members for any proper purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board. With respect to an annual or special meeting of Members, nominations of Persons for election to the Board and the proposal of business to be considered by Members may be made only pursuant to the notice of the meeting, as determined by the Board.

- 9 -

A quorum of the Members at an annual meeting or a special meeting shall consist of Members holding one-third of the outstanding Units entitled to vote on the matter in question.

3.7 Member Voting and Consents.

Whenever action is required by this Agreement to be taken by a specified percentage in interest of the Members, such action shall be deemed to be valid if taken upon the written vote or written consent of those Members whose Units represent the specified percentage of the aggregate outstanding Units of all Members at the time.

Each Member shall be entitled to one vote for each Unit held on all matters submitted to a vote of the Members. Any Units held by the Adviser shall not be entitled to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the Members. Except as expressly provided herein, no class of, or enumerated category of, Members shall be entitled to vote or consent separately as a class with respect to any matter. For these purposes, a “majority in interest” shall mean a percentage in interest in excess of 50%.

ARTICLE 4

INVESTMENTS AND ACTIVITIES

4.1 Investment Objectives.

The primary objective of the Company is to generate both current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. companies in the “upper middle market” (i.e., companies with annual earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, or “EBITDA,” between $50 million and $400 million). However, the Company may from time to time invest in larger or smaller companies. The Company’s capital will be typically used by companies to support business growth, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, refinancing or recapitalizations. Under normal circumstances, the Company will invest at least 80% of its managed assets (total assets plus borrowings for investment purposes minus the sum of the Company’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes)) in first lien senior secured loans, second lien senior secured loans, subordinated loans or other corporate debt investments including bridge loans. To a lesser extent, the Company may also invest in equity and equity-related securities, including warrants and preferred stock which may or may not be convertible into a Portfolio Company’s common equity. Any investment (other than a Temporary Investment) intended to satisfy the Company’s investment objective is referred to herein as a “Portfolio Investment.”

4.2 Investment Limitations.

4.2.1 Investments in Portfolio Companies.

From and after the date hereof, the Company will not invest more than 10% of the aggregate invested capital of the Company in any single Portfolio Company (including in such limitation (a) investments in any direct or indirect subsidiary of such Portfolio Company and (b) the amount of any outstanding obligations of such Portfolio Company (or direct or indirect subsidiary of such Portfolio Company) that have been guaranteed by the Company) measured at the time of the investment. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company will not be treated as a Portfolio Company and therefore will not be subject to this limitation.

- 10 -

4.2.2 Additional Investment Limitations.

The Company shall at all times comply with the following investment limitations:

(a) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to make or structure each investment in a jurisdiction outside the United States in a manner such that no Member (i) would have any personal liability with respect to such investment beyond such Member’s obligations to make contributions or payments to the Company as provided in this Agreement, or (ii) would be required with respect to such investment to file income tax returns in that jurisdiction reporting income (other than any Member who must file such returns without regard to the activities of the Company or who is required to file such returns for the purpose of reducing, eliminating or recovering any taxes withheld on behalf of such Member).

(b) The Company will not invest in the aggregate more than 5% of its aggregate invested capital in any blind pool investment fund or similar vehicle established and managed by a party unrelated to the Adviser. This limitation, however, shall not apply to investments in controlled finance subsidiaries of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not invest in any blind pool investment fund or similar vehicle if the Company would be required to pay a management fee or incentive fee or allocation on such investment.

(c) The Company will not invest in the aggregate more than 20% of its aggregate invested capital in investments outside of the United States.

(d) The Company will not at any time invest in U.S. Real Estate Assets. For purposes of this section, “U.S. Real Estate Assets” means (i) any direct investment in real property (including land, any unsevered natural products or resources thereon, any improvements, and any personal property associated with the use of the real property) located in the United States or the U.S. Virgin Islands and (ii) any equity ownership interests in a corporation that is or has been a U.S. real property holding company (“USRPHC”) as defined in section 897(c)(2) of the Code. However, if the Company anticipates that it is reasonably likely to become a USRPHC, it shall promptly notify Platinum, and use reasonable best efforts to allow Platinum to restructure its investment, in advance of such occurrence to the extent feasible.

(e) The Company will not invest in (i) residual interests in entities treated as real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”) or (ii) real estate investment trusts that (A) are treated as taxable mortgage pools or (B) hold residual interests in REMICs or subsidiaries that are taxable mortgage pools, in each case as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

4.2.3 Conflicts of Interest.

Subject to applicable law and/or in accordance with any relief granted by the SEC, the Company may invest in Portfolio Companies where Affiliates of the Adviser simultaneously hold or are acquiring equity or debt securities or where such Affiliates of the foregoing may be an investor in the Company. Each such ownership and other relationships may create conflicts of interest for the Company. In such instances, each of the Company and such Affiliates will be free, in their discretion, to make recommendations and decisions with respect to the origination or disposition of such investments, independent of the recommendations and decisions made by the others unless required otherwise by any relief granted by the

- 11 -

SEC. All such transactions will be made for the Company in a manner that the Board deems to be appropriate given the investment objective, liquidity, diversification and other limitations of the Company and in accordance with applicable law and/or any relief granted by the SEC. Any Portfolio Investment in an issuer that is an Affiliate of a Member shall be made, managed and disposed of in a manner consistent with similarly situated investments made by the Company in entities that are not Affiliates of a Member and in accordance with applicable law and/or any relief granted by the SEC.

4.3 Borrowing.

4.3.1 General.

The Company shall have the power to enter into, make and perform all such contracts and other undertakings, and engage in all such activities and transactions as the Board may deem necessary or advisable for or incidental to the carrying out of the Company’s purpose and objectives (and all determinations, decisions and actions made or taken by the Board shall be conclusive and absolutely binding upon the Company, the Members and their respective successors, assigns and personal representatives), including: to incur indebtedness for borrowed money (including through the issuance of notes and other evidence of indebtedness), to incur other obligations (including in connection with derivative financial instruments), to arrange and make guarantees to support any such indebtedness or other obligations and incur reimbursement obligations in respect of any such guarantees, to pledge or assign or otherwise make available credit support for any such indebtedness, guarantees or other obligations and to take all other actions as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in connection with incurring indebtedness, other obligations or guarantees. The Company is hereby authorized, at its option and without consent of any Member, to hypothecate, mortgage, assign, transfer, make a collateral assignment or pledge or grant a comparable security interest to a Lender or other holders of indebtedness, other obligations, or guarantees of the Company (a) any or all assets of the Company, including Portfolio Investments and deposit or similar accounts into which capital contributions are deposited (the assets described in this clause (a) referred to herein as “Assets”) and/or (b) some or all of the Undrawn Commitment of some or all the Members, including the Company’s right to call for and receive contributions of Undrawn Commitments under 6.1 and all rights and remedies related thereto (including those under 6.2) and the obligations of some or all of the Members under their respective Subscription Agreements and this Agreement (the rights described in this clause (b) referred to herein as “Assigned Rights,” and together with Assets, referred to herein as “Credit Support”).

In furtherance thereof, the Company may, in each case subject to such other conditions as the Company may reasonably determine, (a) authorize any Lender or holders of such indebtedness, guarantees or other obligations, including any agent or trustee acting on their behalf, as agent and on behalf of the Company, or in such other capacity as the Company may specify to act as agent of and on behalf of the Company (i) to exercise Assigned Rights, (ii) to issue draw downs and to require all or any portion of such Undrawn Commitment to be contributed to the Company for purposes of paying related proceeds to a holder of such indebtedness, guarantees or other obligations to the Company; provided that no Member shall at any time be required to fund capital contributions directly to any party other than the Company, (iii) to exercise any remedy of the Company under this Agreement in respect of any Asset or Assigned Rights or in respect of any draw down, called contributions or Undrawn Commitment, and (iv) to enforce the Members’ obligations under their respective Subscription Agreements and this Agreement, and (b) take any other action the Company reasonably determines to be necessary for the purpose of providing such Credit Support (collectively, clauses (a) and (b), the “Lender Powers”); provided that any exercise of such Lender Powers shall be made in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, the Company is hereby authorized to provide to or receive from any Lender or holders of such indebtedness, guarantees or other obligations, including any agent or trustee acting on their behalf, reasonable and customary financial information related to such Member and other documentation reasonably and customarily required to incur or assume such indebtedness, subject to applicable law and in connection therewith, such Member hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company with respect to the provision of such information and documentation; provided, however, any such persons who receive such information shall be subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to such information.

- 12 -

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as the Company operates as a BDC, the Company shall not incur indebtedness in violation of the leverage requirements applicable to a BDC, including but not limited to Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act and any interpretation thereof that is currently or may become applicable to the Company.

4.3.2 Member Acknowledgements.

To facilitate the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness, guarantees and other obligations and to incur pledges or assigns or otherwise make available as Credit Support for such indebtedness, guarantees and other obligations, each Member hereby agrees to and acknowledges the representations and acknowledgements set forth in Appendix II.

4.3.3 Beneficiary Rights.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any agent or Lender granted a lien with respect to the Assigned Rights and the right to exercise any Lender Powers shall be an intended beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this 4.3 and Appendix II.

4.4 Retention and Reinvestment of Proceeds.

4.4.1 Limited Retention and Reinvestment.

Subject to the requirements of Section 852(a) of Subchapter M of the Code (for so long as such provisions are relevant) and the terms of any indebtedness, the Company may retain, in whole or in part, any Proceeds received by the Company attributable to Portfolio Investments and may use the amounts so retained to make new Portfolio Investments (up to the cost of Portfolio Investments attributable to such Proceeds), pay Company Expenses, repay Company borrowings, guarantees or other obligations, or fund reasonable reserves for future Portfolio Investments or future Company Expenses or other obligations (including, without limitation, obligations to make the indemnification advances and payments which may be required by 11.2); provided, however, the aggregate amount of Proceeds so retained with respect to each Member shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the minimum distribution requirements of Section 852(a) of Subchapter M of the Code; or (ii) 110% of such Member’s Commitment. The Company may not retain Proceeds for the purpose of making a Portfolio Investment to the extent such retention would cause the Undrawn Commitment of the Common Units to be reduced below zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once the Undrawn Commitment of the Common Units is reduced to zero, the Company may continue to retain Proceeds that represent net investment income for the purpose of paying its operating costs (including expenses, the Management Fee, the Incentive Fee, payments to the Administrator and any indemnification obligations), debt service or other obligations of any borrowings, guarantees or other obligations the Company has made. Any retained Proceeds that represent net investment income will be treated as a deemed distribution by the Company to the Common Unitholders and a deemed re-contribution by the Common Unitholders to the Company, and the aggregate Undrawn Commitment of all Common Unitholders will be reduced by such amount.

- 13 -

4.4.2 Required Distributions of Amounts Not Retained.

Subject to 4.4.1, the Company will distribute to the Common Unitholders net proceeds attributable to the repayment or disposition of Portfolio Investments, together with any interest, dividends, other net cash flow in respect of Portfolio Investments (or potential Portfolio Investments) or Temporary Investments (collectively, “Proceeds”) in the manner and at the times set forth below.

Subject to the requirements of Section 852(a) of Subchapter M of the Code, and the terms of any indebtedness, distributions of Proceeds will be made to the Common Unitholders pro rata based on the number of Common Units held by each Common Unitholder.

The Company shall distribute, promptly after receipt thereof, all Proceeds except to the extent such Proceeds are permitted to be retained as described in 4.4.1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Adviser will endeavor to cause the Company to effect distributions of Proceeds as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 852(a) of Subchapter M of the Code.

Payment of distributions will be subject to applicable withholding taxes, if any. The Company (or its withholding agent) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise distributable to a Common Unitholder pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be so deducted and withheld under any applicable law. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been distributed to the Common Unitholder.

4.4.3 Recallable Amounts.

A Common Unitholder may be required to re-contribute amounts previously distributed to it with respect to its Common Units. The amount that a Common Unitholder may be required to re-contribute pursuant to this 4.4.3 (the “Recallable Amount” of such Common Unitholder) shall be equal to (a) such Common Unitholder’s share of all Portfolio Investments that are repaid to the Company or otherwise recouped by the Company and distributed to such Common Unitholder, reduced by (b) all re-contributions made by such Common Unitholder pursuant to this 4.4.3; provided, however, following the first four fiscal quarters after the first Drawdown Date, no Common Unitholder shall be required to re-contribute Recallable Amounts in an aggregate amount greater than the lesser of (i) 30% of aggregate distributions actually received by such Common Unitholder from the Company or (ii) 25% of the aggregate Commitment by such Common Unitholder. The obligation to re-contribute Recallable Amounts shall expire on the second anniversary of the disposition of the relevant Portfolio Investment giving rise to the relevant distribution.

5.2 Advisory Agreement; Management Fee and Incentive Fee.

5.2.1 Advisory Agreement.

The Company shall enter into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser for assistance in providing management services to the Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of an “assignment” (within the meaning of the 1940 Act) by the Adviser. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated by the Board or by the approval of a majority in interest of the Common Unitholders or, if less, such lower percentage as required by the 1940 Act, without penalty, upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Adviser. The Members acknowledge and agree that, so long as the Advisory Agreement (or a successor agreement) is in effect, the Company shall delegate the authority to make investment, disposition and similar decisions, including the authority to approve all Portfolio Investments and/or all dispositions thereof, to the Adviser. The Company shall obtain the approval of a majority in interest of the Common Unitholders prior to making any material amendment to the Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Adviser has delivered on the date of the Initial Closing to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Members) the adviser representation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

5.2.2 Management Fee.

In consideration of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Company pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Adviser an amount equal to the management fee (the “Management Fee”), calculated in accordance with Section 3 of the Advisory Agreement. Such amount shall be paid to the Adviser in accordance with Section 3 of the Advisory Agreement.

5.2.3 Incentive Fee.

Subject to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company shall pay the Adviser the Incentive Fee. The Incentive Fee will be determined in accordance with the formula in Section 3 of the Advisory Agreement.

- 16 -

ARTICLE 6

CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY

6.1 Obligation to Contribute.

6.1.1 Original Issue Price.

Upon the Company admitting a Common Unitholder as a Member of the Company, such Common Unitholder will automatically be obligated to pay an amount equal to its Commitment as set forth in 6.1.

6.1.2 Drawdowns.

A Member will purchase Units for an aggregate purchase price equal to its Commitment, payable at such times and in such amounts as required by the Company. A Member shall be required to fund a capital contribution to purchase Units (a “Drawdown Purchase”) each time the Company delivers a notice (the “Drawdown Notice”) to such Member. Drawdown Notices shall be delivered to the individual(s) designated by each Member electronically at least seven Business Days (measured from the date the Company sends the applicable notice, rather than the date such notice is received) prior to the date on which payment will be due (each, a “Drawdown Date”) and shall set forth the amount, in U.S. dollars, of the aggregate purchase price (the “Drawdown Purchase Price”) to be paid by such Member to purchase Units on such Drawdown Date.

A Drawdown Notice may be rescinded or postponed by the Company by prompt written notice but no later than the relevant Drawdown Date. In the case of a postponement to a specified future date, such notice shall restate the information contained in the original Drawdown Notice, indicating any material changes.

Drawdown Purchases will generally be made pro rata, in accordance with Undrawn Commitments of all Members. However, the Company retains the right at its discretion to call Drawdown Purchases on a non-pro rata basis so that the assets of the Company will not be considered “plan assets” under ERISA or the Plan Asset Regulations, or as otherwise necessary or desirable in order to comply with ERISA or any other applicable legal, regulatory, tax or similar regimes. Furthermore, certain Drawdown Purchases may be made on a non-pro rata basis by Members that provide Commitments after the Initial Closing. The Drawdown Purchase Price will be at least equal to net asset value, or NAV, per Unit in accordance with the limitations under Section 23 of the 1940 Act (which generally prohibits the Company from selling Units at a price below the then-current NAV as determined within 48 hours, excluding Sundays and holidays, of such sale, subject to certain exceptions).

Drawdown Purchases shall be made to the Company by wire transfer or other transfer of federal or other immediately available U.S. funds on or before the relevant Drawdown Date to the account designated for such purpose. Each Common Unitholder shall be obligated to make payment in full of its Commitment, together with any interest or other amounts due thereon, on the Drawdown Date, and no Common Unitholder shall make (nor shall the Company be obligated to accept) less than the full amount of any such Commitment. No Member shall be required to pay more than the total amount of its Commitment. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

- 17 -

6.1.3 Drawdown Date.

On any Drawdown Date, the Company shall issue to the Member a number of Units equal to the amount of the Drawdown Purchase Price funded by the Member on the applicable Drawdown Date divided by the per share price determined by the Board or an appropriately designated committee. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not issue Units for any portion of the Commitment that has not been paid to the Company and used to purchase Units pursuant to one or more Drawdown Notices (the “Undrawn Commitment”).

6.1.4 Initial Closing.

The Company may draw down Commitments to make investments at any time during the period from the initial closing, which is expected to occur immediately prior to the Company’s election to be treated as BDC under the 1940 Act (the “Initial Closing”).

6.1.5 Catch-Up Purchases.

Following the Initial Closing, each Subsequent Closing Member (as defined below) will be required to make a purchase or successive purchases of Units to fund a portion of its Undrawn Commitment on a non-pro rata basis (each, a “Catch-up Purchase”) on a date (or dates) (each, a “Catch-up Date”) to be determined by the Company that occurs no later than the next succeeding Drawdown Date. The aggregate purchase price of a Catch-up Purchase (or successive Catch-up Purchases) prior to a Catch-Up Date, will be equal to an amount necessary to ensure that, upon payment of the aggregate purchase price, such Subsequent Closing Member will have contributed the same percentage of its Commitment to the Company as all Members whose Subscription Agreements were accepted at previous closings (other than any Defaulting Purchasers or Members who subscribed in prior closings and have not yet funded the Adjusted Purchase Price) (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”).

Catch-up Purchases will be made at a price equal to the NAV per Unit (adjusted to appropriately reflect revenues and expenses accrued as of the applicable Catch-up Date and such Member’s pro rata portion of the Company’s initial Organizational Expenses) as of the close of the last quarter preceding the date of such Catch-up Purchase; provided that the purchase price is subject to adjustment to the extent required by Section 23 of the 1940 Act (which generally prohibits the Company from selling Units at a price below the then-current NAV as determined within 48 hours, excluding Sundays and holidays, of such sale, subject to certain exceptions).

6.1.6 Subsequent Closings.

The Company may hold one or more closings subsequent to the Initial Closing (each date on which a subsequent closing is held, a “Subsequent Closing Date”) to admit one or more additional Members or to allow any existing Member to increase its Commitment (each such Member, a “Subsequent Closing Member”). Upon or following the acceptance of a Subsequent Closing Member’s Commitment on any Subsequent Closing Date, such Subsequent Closing Member may be required to make a Catch-up Purchase, on no less than seven Business Days (measured from the date the Company sends the applicable notice, rather than the date such notice is received), at the Adjusted Purchase Price. Such Units may be required to be purchased on any date on or following the applicable Subsequent Closing Date and on or prior to the next Catch-up Date. Catch-up Dates can occur at any point in a month but generally will not occur in a month for which there is also a Drawdown Date. Any Member increasing its Capital Commitment on any Subsequent Closing Date shall be treated as if it were making a new Commitment to the Company.

Upon payment of the Adjusted Purchase Price on each Catch-up Date, the number of Units issuable to a Subsequent Closing Member will equal: (x) the Adjusted Purchase Price for such Subsequent Closing Member, minus the Organizational Expense allocation, divided by (y) the then-current NAV per Unit. A Catch-up Date and a Drawdown Date generally will not occur in the same calendar month.

- 18 -

In connection with each Drawdown Date following any Subsequent Closing Date, all Members, including Subsequent Closing Members, shall purchase Units in accordance with 6.1, subject in all cases to the Company’s right to limit issuances of Units in order to comply with applicable law, including ERISA.

6.2 Failure to Make Required Payment.

6.2.1 Defaulted Purchaser.

In the event that a Member fails to pay all or any portion of the Drawdown Purchase Price due from such Member on any Drawdown Date (such amount, together with the amount of such Member’s Undrawn Commitment, a “Defaulted Commitment”) and such default remains uncured for a period of ten Business Days after the Company notifies such Member of the Defaulted Commitment, then the Company shall be permitted to declare such Member to be in default on its obligations (in such capacity, a “Defaulting Purchaser” and, collectively with any other purchasers declared to be in default, the “Defaulting Purchasers”).

6.2.2 Other Remedies in connection with Defaulted Commitment.

The Company may prohibit the Defaulting Purchaser from purchasing additional Units on any future Drawdown Date. In addition, 50% of the Units then held by the Defaulting Purchaser may be automatically forfeited and transferred on the books of the Company to the other Members (other than any other Defaulting Purchasers), pro rata in accordance with their respective number of Units held; provided that no Units shall be transferred to any other Member in the event that such transfer would (i) violate the Securities Act, the 1940 Act or any state (or other jurisdiction) securities or “blue sky” laws applicable to the Company or such transfer, (ii) constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute “plan assets” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (it being understood that this proviso shall operate only to the extent necessary to avoid the occurrence of the consequences contemplated herein and shall not prevent any other Member from receiving a partial allocation of its pro rata portion of Units); and provided, further, that any Units that have not been transferred to one or more Members pursuant to the previous proviso shall be allocated among the participating Members pro rata in accordance with their respective number of Units held. The mechanism described in this section is intended to operate as a liquidated damage provision since the damage to the Company and other Members resulting from a default by the Defaulting Purchaser is both significant and not easily susceptible to precise quantification.

6.2.3 Proxy.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Defaulting Purchaser will appoint the Company with full power of substitution, its true and lawful proxy to exercise all voting and other rights of such Defaulting Purchaser with respect to the Units, at every annual, special or adjourned meeting of Common Unitholders of the Company and in every written consent in lieu of such meeting in exact proportion to the votes or consents cast by Common Unitholders other than Defaulting Purchasers or, in the absence of any such Common Unitholders, in the discretion of the proxy.

6.2.4 Other Remedies.

The Company may pursue any other remedies against the Defaulting Purchaser available to the Company at law or in equity. No course of dealing between the Company and any Defaulting Purchaser and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Section or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise shall operate as a waiver or otherwise prejudice any such right, power or remedy. In addition to the foregoing, the Company may in its discretion institute a lawsuit against the

- 19 -

Defaulting Purchaser for specific performance of its obligation to pay any Defaulted Commitment and any other payments to be made by the Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and to collect any overdue amounts hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees (i) to pay on demand all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the enforcement of this section against the Defaulting Purchaser sustained as a result of any default by the Defaulting Purchaser and (ii) that any such payment shall not constitute payment of a Drawdown Purchase Price or reduce the Defaulting Purchaser’s Commitment.

6.3 Key Person Event.

If, two or more of either Messrs. Tom Brady, Jason Kennedy or Jon Ciuffreda (each of such three Persons, a “Key Person” and collectively, the “Key Persons”) resign, are terminated or fail to devote substantially all of his business time to the investment activities of the Company and the Related Entities (the occurrence of such event, a “Key Person Event”), the Company shall provide written notice to Platinum and other Members, if any, of such Key Person Event as soon as practicable but in no event later than 10 days of the date of such Key Person Event; provided, however, the Members acknowledge and agree that, to the extent that Messrs. Brady, Kennedy or Ciuffreda continue to remain materially involved in the day-to-day management of the Adviser based on each of their respective roles and responsibilities as of the date of this Agreement, such continued involvement in the day-to-day management of the Adviser following the date of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a Key Person Event. In addition, each Member acknowledges and agrees that Mr. Brady shall serve as chairman of the Board, and will not be involved in the day-to-day investment activities of the Company and the Related Entities, such that Mr. Brady will provide general oversight of the Company and the Related Entities commensurate with the roles and responsibilities appropriate for a chairman or senior level C-suite executive. If the Adviser does not replace such individual(s) in the manner contemplated herein, then (A) Members will be released from their obligation to fund additional capital contributions with respect to the Common Units and (B) Platinum shall be permitted to remove the Adviser unless Jefferies Credit Partners proposes replacement(s) to any such Key Persons that are acceptable to Platinum in its sole discretion. The restrictions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above shall be rescinded upon the sole written consent of Platinum within 120 days of any such Key Person Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser is permitted at any time to replace any Person designated above with a senior professional (including a Key Person) selected by the Adviser, with the approval of Platinum (in which case, the approved substitute shall be a Key Person in lieu of the Person replaced), no later than 90 days after the date that the Adviser informs Platinum of its proposed replacement of the Key Person.

ARTICLE 7

8.2 Events of Dissolution.

The Company shall be terminated and its affairs wound up and dissolved upon the first to occur of the following (each, a “Termination Event”):

(c) the vote of a majority in interest of the Common Unitholders in favor of the wind up and dissolution of the Company upon any occurrence or state of affairs constituting Cause; provided that such vote shall occur no later than 90 days after the Common Unitholders have received notice from the Company pursuant to 13.4 herein;

(d) the vote in favor of the wind up and dissolution of the Company by three-fourths of the Common Unitholders; or

ARTICLE 9

LIQUIDATION OF ASSETS ON DISSOLUTION

9.1 General.

Following a Termination Event, the Company’s assets shall be liquidated in an orderly manner. The Board shall be the liquidator to wind up the affairs of the Company pursuant to this Agreement. The Board as liquidator shall cause the Company to pay or provide for the satisfaction of the Company’s liabilities and obligations to creditors in accordance with the Delaware Act. In performing their duties, the Board as liquidator is authorized to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Company in such reasonable manner as the Board shall determine to be in the best interests of the Members.

9.2 Liquidating Distributions; Priority.

Subject to Section 18-804 of the Delaware Act, the proceeds of liquidation shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) First, to pay the costs and expenses of dissolution and liquidation; to pay or provide for the satisfaction of the Company’s debts and other liabilities, including obligations to creditors in accordance with the Delaware Act; and to establish any reserves which the liquidator may deem necessary or advisable for any contingent or unmatured liability of the Company, including the payment of the Management Fee and the Incentive Fee; and

(b) Thereafter, among the Common Unitholders equally on a per Unit basis.

9.3 Duration of Liquidation.

9.4 Liability for Returns.

None of the liquidator, the Directors, the Officers, the Adviser and their respective partners, members, stockholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and Affiliates shall be personally liable to any Member for the return of the capital contributions of any Member.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 9, but subject to the other limitations on investments set forth in this Agreement and the Delaware Act, the liquidator may, at any time or times after dissolution with the prior written consent of Platinum, cause the Company to make additional investments in entities which were Portfolio Companies on the date of dissolution (including any successor to, or subsidiary of, a Portfolio Company), if the liquidator believes that such additional investments are in the best interests of the Members and in furtherance of the winding up of the affairs of the Company.

ARTICLE 10

LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERS AND REDEMPTIONS OF COMPANY UNITS

10.1 Transfers of Units.

10.1.1 General.

No assignment, pledge, mortgage, hypothecate, gift, sale or other disposition or encumbrance (collectively, “Transfer”) of a Member’s Units, in whole or in part, shall be made other than pursuant to this 10.1. Any attempted Transfer of all or any part of a Member’s Units without compliance with this Agreement shall be void to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Each Transfer shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions, restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement and shall be evidenced by an assignment agreement executed by the transferor, the transferee(s) and the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. No Transfer will be effectuated except by registration of the Transfer on the Company’s books.

10.1.2 Consent of Company.

The prior written consent of the Company, which will not be unreasonably withheld, shall be required for any Transfer of all or part of any Member’s Units, including a Transfer of solely an economic interest in the Company. The prior written consent of the Company shall not be required for any Transfer of all or part of Platinum’s Units to an Affiliate of Platinum as long as such Transfer otherwise complies with the requirements of 10.1 (other than the legal opinion requirement of 10.1.5).

10.1.3 Required Representations by Parties.

The transferor and transferee(s) shall provide such additional written representations as the Company reasonably may request.

10.1.4 Other Prohibited Legal Consequences.

No Transfer shall be permitted, and the Company shall withhold its consent with respect thereto, if such Transfer or the admission of the transferee to the Company as a substituted Member, would:

(a) Result in the Company’s assets becoming “plan assets” of any ERISA Member within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations;

(b) Result in the violation of applicable securities law; or

(c) Result in the Company no longer being eligible to be treated as a BDC or a RIC.

10.1.5 Opinion of Counsel.

The Company may, but is not required to, condition its consent to any Transfer hereunder upon receipt by the Company of a written opinion of counsel for the Company, or of other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, as to such legal matters as the Company reasonably may request.

- 23 -

10.1.6 Reimbursement of Transfer Expenses.

Any Member who requests or otherwise seeks to effect a Transfer of all or a portion of its Units hereby agrees to reimburse the Company, at its request, for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with such Transfer, including the costs of seeking and obtaining the legal opinion required by 10.1.5 and any other legal, accounting and miscellaneous expenses (“Transfer Expenses”), whether or not such Transfer is consummated. At its election, and in any event if the transferor has not reimbursed the Company for any Transfer Expenses incurred by the Company in preparing for or consummating a proposed or completed Transfer within 30 days after the Company has delivered to such Member written demand for payment, the Company may seek reimbursement from the transferee of such Units (or portion thereof). If the transferee does not reimburse the Company for such Transfer Expenses within a reasonable time (or, in the case of a Transfer not consummated, the prospective transferor does not reimburse the Company within a reasonable time), the Company may withhold such amount from distributions that would otherwise be made with respect to such Units (with such withheld amount treated as having been distributed to the holder of such Units for all other purposes of this Agreement).

10.2 Multiple Ownership.

If any Transfer results in multiple ownership of any Member’s Units, the Company may require one or more trustees or nominees to be designated as representing a portion of or the entire interest transferred for purposes of (a) receiving all notices which may be given, and all payments which may be made, under this Agreement and (b) exercising all rights which the transferor as a Member has pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Exculpation.

11.1.1 General.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any Member for (a) any mistake in judgment, (b) any act performed or omission made by such Covered Person, or (c) losses due to the mistake, action, inaction or negligence of other agents of the Company (x) if such Covered Person did not act in bad faith, and (y) if such conduct did not constitute fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, a violation of applicable law or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s respective position. For purposes of this Article 11, “Covered Person” shall mean the Directors, the Adviser, the Administrator and each of their members, managers, officers, employees, agents, controlling Persons and any other Affiliate and any Person who otherwise serves at the request of the Board on behalf of the Company, each to the extent such Person was serving in such capacity at the time the loss or cause of action arose. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of a Covered Person to the Company or any Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

11.1.2 Activities of Others.

To the maximum extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, ERISA), no Covered Person shall, in the absence of its own fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, a violation of applicable law or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s respective position, be liable to the Company or any Member for the negligence, whether by action or omission, dishonesty or bad faith of any broker or other agent of the Company.

- 24 -

11.1.3 Liquidator.

To the maximum extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, ERISA), no Person serving as liquidator shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any loss suffered by the Company or any Member which arises out of any action or omission of such Person, provided that such Person did not act in bad faith.

11.1.4 Advice of Experts.

To the maximum extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, ERISA), no Covered Person and no Person serving as liquidator shall be liable to the Company or any Member with respect to any action or omission taken or suffered by any of them in good faith if such action or omission is taken or suffered in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of legal counsel (as to matters of law), or of accountants (as to matters of accounting), or of investment bankers, accounting firms, or other appraisers (as to matters of valuation), provided that any such professional or firm is selected with reasonable care.

11.2 Indemnification.

11.2.1 General.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Covered Persons, each liquidator, and each partner, member, stockholder, director, officer, manager, trustee, employee, agent and Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, by the Company (only out of Company assets, including the proceeds of liability insurance and the right to require contributions or other payments by the Members under this Agreement) against any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, cost, loss, damage, expense (including attorneys’ fees), judgment and/or liability incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnitee in connection with any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (including any proceeding before any court, arbitrator, administrative or legislative body or other agency) or any settlement thereof (subject to 11.2.3), to which the Indemnitee may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which the Indemnitee shall be threatened, arising out of (a) any mistake in judgment, (b) any action or omission done on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company or the Members or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the Company, or (c) losses due to the mistake, action, inaction or negligence of other agents of the Company, except for such losses (x) arising from such Indemnitee’s own fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnitee’s position or losses due to a material violation of applicable U.S. federal securities laws or regulations by the Indemnitee, (y) arising from the Indemnitee defending an actual or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding against the Indemnitee brought or initiated by the Company, a majority in interest of the Common Unitholders, the Board and/or the Adviser (or brought or initiated by the Indemnitee against the Company, a majority in interest of the Common Unitholders, the Board and/or the Adviser) or (z) arising from an internal dispute solely among Indemnitees.

11.2.2 Effect of Judgment.

Notwithstanding 11.2.1, an Indemnitee shall not be indemnified with respect to matters as to which the Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudicated in any such action, suit or proceeding to have acted in bad faith or to have acted in a manner that constituted fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, a material violation of applicable U.S. federal securities laws, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnitee’s position.

- 25 -

11.2.3 Effect of Settlement.

In the event of settlement of any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened, such indemnification shall apply to all matters covered by the settlement except for matters as to which the Company is advised by counsel (who may be counsel regularly retained to represent the Company) that the Person seeking indemnification, in the opinion of counsel: (a) acted in bad faith or (b) acted with willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnitee’s position.

11.2.4 Process; Advance Payment of Expenses.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company pursuant to this 11.2, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to any Indemnitee under this 11.2 (other than under this 11.2.4). Once the Company is so notified, the Company will be entitled to participate in such action and, if desired, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. If the Company so assumes the defense, the Company shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this 11.2 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that if (i) the Company and the Indemnitee mutually agree otherwise, (ii) the Company has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, (iii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or (iv) the named parties in any such proceedings (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Company shall be liable to such Indemnitee under this 11.2.4 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee.

(b) The Company and the Indemnitee shall inform any other Indemnitee of any such settlement, compromise or judgment, prior to the completion of such settlement, compromise or judgment. The Company shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnitee.

(c) Except to the extent described above in this 11.2.4, the Company may pay the expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with claims arising in connection with any potential or threatened action, suit or proceeding, in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an enforceable undertaking by such Indemnitee to repay such payment if the Indemnitee shall be determined to be not entitled to indemnification for such expenses pursuant to this Article 11.

- 26 -

11.2.5 Insurance.

The Company may maintain, at the expense of the Company, (i) insurance policies for the protection of any Indemnitee or potential Indemnitee against any liability incurred in any capacity which results in such Person being an Indemnitee (provided that such Person is serving in such capacity at the request of the Company or the Board), to the extent such policies are consistent with the Adviser’s customary practice in maintaining insurance for its other registered investment vehicles advised by the Adviser and its Affiliates and (ii) one or more fidelity bonds that meet the requirements of the 1940 Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not bear the cost of insurance and/or fidelity bonds that are extraordinary for similarly situated BDCs.

11.2.6 Successors and Survival.

The foregoing right of indemnification shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors or assigns of each such Indemnitee and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11.2.7 Rights to Indemnification from Other Sources.

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred in this 11.2 shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any rights to which any Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled or hereafter acquire under any law, statute, rule, regulation, charter document, by-law, contract or agreement.

11.2.8 Insurance and Other Sources for Indemnity.

Each Indemnitee shall, as a condition to obtaining payments under 11.2, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek payment from any applicable Portfolio Company, its insurance carriers and/or the insurance carriers of the Adviser and/or the Company. The Company shall, in good faith, determine whether any such Indemnitee has used commercially reasonable efforts to seek such payments. In no event, however, shall the Company be precluded from making payments under 11.2 to any such Indemnitee if reasonable uncertainty exists as to the likelihood of payment by any such Portfolio Company or insurance carrier in a timely manner or on reasonably acceptable terms.

11.3 Limitation by Law.

If any Covered Person or Indemnitee or the Company itself is subject to any federal or state law, rule or regulation which restricts the extent to which any Person may be exonerated or indemnified by the Company, the exoneration provisions set forth in 11.1 and the indemnification provisions set forth in 11.2 shall be deemed to be amended, automatically and without further action by the Members, to the minimum extent necessary to conform to such restrictions.

At any time before the Company’s complete liquidation, each Member, or a designee thereof, at its own expense may for any purposes reasonably related to its interests as a Member (a) fully examine and audit the Company’s books, records, accounts and assets, including bank account balances and (b) examine, or request that the Company furnish, such additional information as is reasonably necessary to enable the requesting Member to review the state of the investment activities of the Company; provided that such information is necessary and essential to such Member’s purpose and the Company can obtain such additional information without unreasonable effort or expense; provided, further, that the Company may redact confidential information relating to another Member.

- 29 -

13.5 Valuation.

13.5.1 Valuation by Board and Valuation Designee.

As a BDC, the Company conducts the valuation of its assets, pursuant to which the Company’s NAV is determined, at all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Company’s Board may either determine fair valuations in good faith for any or all of the Company’s investments or designate the performance of fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee, subject to the Board’s oversight (the “Valuation Designee”). The Company has designated the Adviser as the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee is responsible for assessing and managing material valuation risks, establishing, testing and applying fair value methodologies, evaluating any pricing services and providing quarterly and annual reports to the Board.

The Board is responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s portfolio of assets on a quarterly basis consistent with the BDC’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The Company will calculate its NAV in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The value of each Unit will be calculated by dividing the value of the net assets of the Company by the total number of Units outstanding. The Board has adopted certain valuation procedures to assist the Company in determining the fair value of its investment portfolio. Among other factors, the Board may consider reports prepared by third-party pricing and valuation firms with respect to some or all of the Company’s portfolio assets when determining the value of its portfolio assets.

The Valuation Designee is responsible for overseeing the implementation of procedure for fair value determinations on behalf of the Company.

13.5.2 Freely Tradable Securities.

The fair market value of any security owned by the Company which is a Freely Tradable Security shall be determined on the basis of the last reported trade price of such security on the date the value is being determined on the exchange where it is primarily traded or, if such security is not traded on an exchange, such security shall be valued at the last reported sale price on such dates on Nasdaq or, if such security is not reported on Nasdaq, such security shall be valued at the reported closing bid prices (or average of bid prices) last quoted on such dates as reported by an established quotation service for over- the-counter securities.

In determining the fair market value of the assets of the Company, no allowance of any kind shall be made for goodwill or the name of the Company or of the Adviser, the Company’s records, files and statistical data or any intangible assets of the Company in the nature of or similar to goodwill. The Company’s name and goodwill shall, as among the Members, be deemed to have no value, and no Member shall have any right or claim individually to the use thereof. The Members agree that the names, trademarks and service marks “Jefferies,” and all modifications, derivations or versions thereof, and any goodwill associated therewith, are owned by one or more Jefferies Affiliates, and use of any such name as part of the Company’s name or in connection with the Company’s activities shall not affect the ownership of such names, trademarks and service marks.

13.9.5 Securities Law Matters.

Each Member understands that in addition to the restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement, it must bear the economic risks of their investment for an indefinite period because the interests in the Company have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and, therefore, may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act and any such other applicable securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

13.9.6 Compliance with Laws.

The Company will use reasonable best efforts to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all applicable anti-money laundering laws, anti-terrorism laws and anti-bribery laws, as well as applicable rules and regulations imposed by applicable securities laws; provided, that the Company will have no liability under this 13.9.6 in the event that noncompliance with an applicable law does not, or would not reasonably be expected to, have an adverse effect on the Company, other than a de minimis adverse effect. The Company has established and will maintain internal controls, policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering laws, anti-terrorism laws and anti-bribery laws, as well as applicable rules and regulations imposed by applicable securities laws.

13.9.7 Contract Construction; Headings; Counterparts.

Whenever the context of this Agreement permits, the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders (and vice versa), and reference to singular or plural shall be interchangeable with the other. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions, and the parties intend that this Agreement shall be construed and reformed in all respects as if any such invalid or unenforceable provision(s) were omitted or, at the direction of a court, modified in order to give effect to the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

It is the intention of the parties that every covenant, term and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party (notwithstanding any rule of law requiring an Agreement to be strictly construed against the drafting party), it being understood that the parties to this Agreement are sophisticated and have had adequate opportunity and means to retain counsel to represent their interests and to otherwise negotiate the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement, together with the related Subscription Agreement and any Other Agreement (if any) between the Company and any Member, shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the respective parties to such agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no representations, warranties or agreements made by the Company except to the extent set forth in this Agreement, the Subscription Agreements and any such Other Agreement (if applicable). This Agreement or any amendment hereto may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement or amendment, as the case may be.
