(e) The Purchaser understands that the BDC Commitment is not binding on the BDC until accepted by the Adviser. The Adviser shall have the right to accept or reject this Subscription, in whole or in part, in its sole and absolute discretion.

(f) Subject only to the acceptance of the Adviser, the Purchaser hereby agrees to adhere to and be bound by the BDC Governing Documents.

(g) In the event that the Purchaser is permitted by the BDC to make an additional BDC Commitment to purchase BDC Shares on a date after its initial subscription has been accepted, the Purchaser shall be required to enter into an addendum to this Subscription Agreement covering such additional BDC Commitment.

(h) The BDC 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 purchasers (the “Other Purchasers” and collectively with the Purchaser, the “BDC Purchasers”), providing for the sale to the Other Purchasers of BDC Shares at other closings. This Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements are separate agreements, and the sales of BDC Shares to the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers are to be separate sales.

(i) The closing of the subscription for and commitment to purchase by the Purchaser of the BDC Shares shall take place at the offices of the Adviser on the date that this Subscription Agreement (having been also signed by the Purchaser) has been accepted by the BDC (the date of such acceptance, which shall be indicated on the BDC acceptance provided to the Purchaser, being hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”). On the date of the receipt of the Purchaser’s first Capital Contribution, assuming the Closing has taken place, the Purchaser shall be registered as a stockholder of the BDC (each a “Stockholder” and together, the “Stockholders”).

(j) A Stockholder that holds or owns more than 5% of the BDC Shares agrees to furnish information reasonably requested by BDC listing such Stockholder’s affiliates.

Capital Contributions

(a) Subject to Section 3, the BDC may issue drawdown notices and thereby draw down the BDC Commitment to make investments at any time in accordance with the procedures set forth in the BDC Form 10 and BDC PPM. Each drawdown notice shall at a minimum set forth (i) the amount, in U.S. dollars, of the Capital Contribution to be made by the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date, (ii) the per share price determined in accordance with the BDC Governing Documents and the BDC’s policies as approved by the board of directors of the BDC, (iii) the Purchase Date and (iv) the account to which the Purchase Payment should be wired.

The aggregate purchase price of any Catch-up Purchase will be equal to an amount necessary to ensure that, upon payment of the aggregate purchase price, such Other Purchaser will have contributed the same percentage of its BDC Commitment to the BDC as all purchasers whose subscriptions were accepted at previous closings. Catch-up Purchases will be made at a price as determined by the board of directors of the BDC as of the end of the most recent calendar quarter or such other date as determined by the board of directors of the BDC prior to the date of the applicable drawdown notice, or such other date as may be required to comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”).

(b) The Purchaser specifically agrees and consents that the BDC may, subject to such other conditions as the BDC may reasonably determine, (i) authorize any lender or other creditors or holders of other obligations or guarantees of the BDC, including any agent or trustee acting on their behalf, as agent and on behalf of the BDC, or in such other capacity as the BDC may specify (A) to exercise from time to time Assigned Rights, (B) to issue drawdown notices and to require all or any portion of the BDC Commitment that has not been paid to the BDC (such unfunded BDC Commitment, the “Undrawn BDC Commitment”) to be contributed to the BDC for purposes of paying such funds to a lender or other creditor or holders of other obligations or guarantees, including by payment to an account or accounts pledged to a lender, a creditor or such holder, (C) to exercise any right or remedy of the BDC under this Subscription Agreement in respect of any Assigned Rights or in respect of any proper drawdown notice, purchases or Undrawn BDC Commitment, and (D) to enforce obligations of the BDC Purchasers under their respective Subscription Agreements, and (ii) take any other action the BDC reasonably determines to be necessary for the purpose of providing such Assigned Rights (collectively, clauses (i) and (ii), the “Lender Powers”); provided that any exercise of such Lender Powers with respect to Purchaser shall be made in accordance with this Subscription Agreement. In addition, the BDC is hereby authorized to provide to or receive from any lender or other creditors or holders of other obligations or guarantees, including any agent or trustee acting on their behalf, reasonable and customary financial information related to the Purchaser and other documentation reasonably and customarily required to incur or assume such indebtedness, subject to applicable law and in connection therewith, the Purchaser hereby agrees to cooperate with the BDC 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 substantially similar to Section 12.

(c) To facilitate the BDC’s ability to incur and maintain borrowings or other financings or similar obligations and to otherwise make available Assigned Rights and/or the right to exercise any Lender Power for such borrowings or other financings or similar obligations, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that: (i) in the event of a failure by Purchaser to pay all or any portion of any Capital Contribution required to be made on its Purchase Date, in addition to the Lender Powers, the related creditor or lender may issue additional drawdown notices to other BDC Purchasers in order to make up any deficiency caused by the failure to fund the Purchase Payment and Purchaser’s ownership in the BDC may be diluted as a result, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to fund to the BDC more than its Undrawn BDC Commitment, (ii) its obligation to Capital Contributions on their respective Purchase Dates is irrevocable, and shall be without setoff, counterclaim or defense, including any defense under Section 365(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) it has received full and adequate consideration on the date hereof for its subscription for the BDC Shares, and any defense of non-consideration or similar defenses for its subscription are hereby irrevocably waived, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings or otherwise, including any failure or inability of the BDC to issue BDC Shares or for any such BDC Shares to have positive value.

(d) In connection with the Assigned Rights, the Purchaser agrees (i) to provide all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations as soon as reasonably practicable upon request and (ii) that the BDC may provide customary information regarding the Purchaser as is reasonably requested by any prospective lender; provided, however, any such prospective lender shall be subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to such information substantially similar to Section 12.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any lender or other person granted a lien with respect to any of the Assigned Rights and/or the right to exercise any Lender Power shall be intended beneficiary of this Subscription Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.

3. The investments in the BDC are permitted by the constituent documents, policies, and procedures of the Purchaser and such documents, policies, and procedures permit the Investor to invest in the BDC which will engage in the investment program described in the BDC PPM.

(iii) The Purchaser is not in any way affiliated with (i.e., does not own or control, is not owned or controlled by, nor is under common ownership or control with) any person or entity which will receive compensation, directly or indirectly, from the BDC.

(iv) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the decision to invest in the BDC and the review of the terms of the BDC must be made solely and independently by a fiduciary of the Purchaser who has no affiliation with the Adviser or any of its affiliates or employees, without relying on any recommendation of the Adviser or any of its affiliates or employees as a primary basis for its decision.

(v) The appropriate fiduciaries of the Purchaser have considered the investment in light of the risks relating thereto and fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA applicable to the Purchaser and have determined that, in view of such considerations, the investment is appropriate for the Purchaser and is consistent with such fiduciaries’ responsibilities under ERISA, and the appropriate fiduciaries: (a) are responsible for the Purchaser’s decision to invest in the BDC, including the determination that such investment is consistent with the requirement imposed by Section 404 of ERISA that employee benefit plan investments be diversified so as to minimize the risk of large losses; (b) are independent of the Adviser and any of its affiliates and employees and of any person or entity which will receive compensation, whether directly or indirectly, from the BDC; (c) are qualified and authorized to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, have not relied on the recommendation of the Adviser or any of its affiliates or employees.

(z) If the Purchaser is acquiring BDC Shares with the assets of the general account of an insurance company, the Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that on each day the Purchaser owns an Interest either (i) the assets of such general account are not considered to be plan assets within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101 or Department of Labor regulations issued pursuant to Section 401(c)(1)(A) of ERISA, or (ii) the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, and the acquisition and withdrawal of the Interest, is exempt from the prohibited transaction rules of Section 406(a) of ERISA and Section 4975(c)(1)(A)—(D) of the Code by virtue of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 or some other exemption of such rules;

(aa) By signing this Subscription Agreement, each Purchaser that is either a Plan Asset Entity or is using the assets of an insurance company general account, hereby covenants that if, after its initial acquisition of the BDC Shares, at any time during any calendar month the percentage of the assets of such general account or Plan Asset Entity, as applicable, that constitute “plan assets” for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code exceeds the allowable percentage, then such Purchaser shall promptly notify the Adviser of such occurrence and the Adviser may require the Purchaser to redeem or dispose of some or all of such BDC Shares.

(bb) The BDC Commitment is, and until the funding of the BDC Commitment or the termination of this Subscription Agreement will be, less than the maximum amount that the Purchaser is permitted to invest in any one portfolio investment pursuant to the terms of its organizational documents or otherwise.

(dd) The Purchaser has available (and will have available until the funding of the BDC Commitment or the termination of this Subscription Agreement) capital equal to or in excess of the BDC Commitment plus the aggregate amount of all other commitments, liabilities, and obligations it currently has outstanding, all funds necessary to fulfill the BDC Commitment under this Subscription Agreement shall be available for as long as the BDC Commitment hereunder shall remain in effect

(ee) The Purchaser acknowledges and is aware of the following:

(i) The BDC has no operating history; and an investment in the BDC Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss of the entire investment in the BDC.

(ii) The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, assign, sell or pledge all or any part of any BDC Shares acquired by the Purchaser (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of all or any part of such BDC Shares) except in accordance with (i) the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration provisions, as applicable, and (ii) any applicable state or non-U.S. securities laws. The Purchaser understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the BDC Shares for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the offering and sale of the BDC Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, the BDC Shares cannot be sold other than through a privately negotiated transaction unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available; and

(iii) No state or federal agency or other governmental authority has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the terms of the offering and sale of the BDC Shares.

(ff) The Purchaser understands that the BDC intends to elect or has elected to be treated as a “regulated investment company” within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to these elections, the Purchaser shall be required to furnish certain information to the BDC as required under U.S. Treasury Regulation §1.852-6(a) and other regulations. If the Purchaser is unable or refuses to provide such information directly to the BDC, the Purchaser understands that it shall be required to include additional information on its income tax return as provided in U.S. Treasury Regulation § 1.852-7;

(gg) The Purchaser consents to the use of any information provided by the Purchaser for purposes of complying with the Foreign Account Reporting Regimes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser agrees to waive any provision of non-U.S. law that, absent such waiver, would prevent any reporting of information required by the Foreign Account Reporting Regimes, or would otherwise prevent compliance by the BDC with its obligations under the Foreign Account Reporting Regimes. “Foreign Account Reporting Regimes” means the Foreign Account Tax Compliance provisions enacted as part of the U.S. Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act and codified in Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any successor provisions, and all rules, regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, and all administrative and judicial interpretations thereof; any intergovernmental agreements between the United States and any jurisdiction relating to such Code sections, and any laws, rules or regulations pursuant to such an agreement; and any legislation, regulations or guidance enacted in any jurisdiction, or any intergovernmental agreements between any two or more jurisdictions, which seeks to implement similar tax reporting and/or withholding tax regimes, including the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information for Tax Matters – the Common Reporting Standard and any associated legislation, regulations or guidance.

(hh) The information set forth in Attachment I, which shall be considered an integral part of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, any IRS Forms W-9 or any successor forms), is accurate and complete as of the date hereof, and the Purchaser will promptly notify the BDC of any change in such information. The Purchaser consents to the disclosure of any such information, and any other information furnished to the Adviser or the BDC, to any governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or, to the extent required by law or deemed (subject to applicable law) by the BDC or the Adviser to be in the best interest of the BDC, to any other person. The tax representations, warranties and covenants made by the Purchaser in this Subscription Agreement are true, accurate and correct as of the date hereof and shall survive such date;

(ii) The Purchaser represents and warrants that neither it, nor any holder of any beneficial interest in the BDC Shares (each, a “Beneficial Interest Holder”), and, if the Purchaser represents an entity, no Related Person² is:

(ii) A Foreign Shell Bank³; or

(iii) A person or entity resident in or whose subscription funds are transferred from or through an account in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction⁴.

A “Related Person” is, with respect to any entity, an interest holder, director, senior officer, trustee, beneficiary or grantor of such entity; provided that, in the case of an entity that is a Publicly Traded Company or a Qualified Plan, the term “Related Person” shall exclude any interest holder holding less than 5% of any class of securities of such Publicly Traded Company and beneficiaries of such Qualified Plan. “Publicly Traded Company” means an entity whose securities are listed on a recognized securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system in the U.S. or country other than a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or a wholly-owned subsidiary of such an entity. “Qualified Plan” means a tax qualified pension or retirement plan in which at least 100 employees participate that is maintained by an employer that is organized in the U.S. or is a U.S. government entity.”

⁴

A “Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction” is any foreign country or territory that has been designated as non-cooperative with international anti-money laundering principles or procedures by an intergovernmental group or organization, such as the Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”), of which the United States is a member and with which designation the United States representative to the group or organization continues to concur. For FATF’s list of non-cooperative countries and territories, see http://www.fatf-gafi.org/topics/high-riskandnon-cooperativejurisdictions/.

The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Adviser or the person appointed by the Adviser to administer the BDC’s anti-money laundering program, if applicable, of any change in information affecting this representation and covenant.

(iii) its subscription funds do not originate from, nor will they be routed through, an account maintained at a Foreign Shell Bank, an “offshore bank,” or a bank organized or chartered under the laws of a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

(kk) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that amounts paid to the Purchaser will be paid to the same account from which its subscription funds were originally remitted, or, if the Adviser agrees, to another account in the name of the Purchaser.

(ll) The Purchaser understands the investment objectives and policies of, and the investment strategies that may be pursued by, the BDC. The Purchaser’s investment is consistent with the investment purposes and objectives and cash flow requirements of the Purchaser and will not adversely affect its overall need for diversification and liquidity.

⁵

A “Senior Foreign Political Figure” is a current or former senior official in the executive, legislative, administrative, military or judicial branches of a non-U.S. government (whether elected or not), a senior official of a major non-U.S. political party, a senior executive of a non-U.S. government-owned corporation or other persons entrusted with prominent public functions. In addition, a Senior Foreign Political Figure includes any corporation, business or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, a Senior Foreign Political Figure.

(mm) The Purchaser agrees to provide the BDC and/or the Adviser any additional tax information or documentation (including any validly executed required tax forms such as the applicable IRS Form W-8 or successor form) that the BDC or the Adviser believes is required or will enable it, the BDC or any of its affiliates to comply with or mitigate any of their respective tax reporting, tax withholding, and/or tax compliance obligations, or which may arise as a result of a change in law or in the interpretation thereof.

(nn) The Purchaser (i) acknowledges that legislation has modified the Investment Company Act by allowing a business development to increase the maximum amount of leverage it may incur, from an asset coverage ratio of 200% to an asset coverage ratio of 150%, if certain requirements are met; (ii) acknowledges that the Adviser, as the BDC’s sole initial shareholder, has approved a proposal that allows the BDC to reduce its asset coverage to 150%; (iii) consents to that reduced asset coverage as a holder of BDC Shares effective immediately upon the receipt of those BDC Shares; and (iv) agrees that the BDC’s minimum permitted asset coverage ratio is 150% as permitted by such legislation.

The foregoing representations and warranties and all information in this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, all attachments hereto) are true, correct, complete and accurate as of the date hereof and shall be true, correct, complete and accurate as of each Purchase Date. If any portion of any such representations and warranties or any other information in this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, all attachments hereto) shall not be true and accurate prior to any Purchase Date (or, in the case of any tax representations and warranties or tax information, at any time), the Purchaser shall give immediate notice of such fact to the Adviser by email, specifying which representations and warranties or information or portions thereof are not true and accurate and the reasons therefor; provided, however, that under no circumstances whatsoever shall any such notice diminish or disparage in any way or to any degree whatsoever or result in the waiver of any rights the Adviser or the BDC may have by virtue of the circumstances causing delivery of such notice.

Miscellaneous.

Notices to the BDC shall be directed to Jefferies Credit Partners LLC, 520 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022, Attention: General Counsel.

(b) This Subscription Agreement reflects the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other, and supersedes each other, agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. This Subscription Agreement may not be waived, amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. The waiver by any of the parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement or a failure to or delay in exercising any right or privilege hereunder, shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not be effective unless there has been prior or concurrent execution and delivery by each of the parties thereto.

(c) Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (a) this Subscription Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create any agency, partnership, fiduciary or joint venture relationship between or among any of the parties hereto and neither this Subscription Agreement nor any other document or agreement entered into by any party hereto relating to the subject matter hereof shall be construed to suggest otherwise and (b) the obligations of the Purchaser under this Subscription Agreement are solely contractual in nature.

(d) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the BDC would be irreparably damaged if the Purchaser does not satisfy its covenants and obligations under this Subscription Agreement, including to fund its BDC Commitment, as, when and to the extent required by the express terms of this Subscription Agreement, and that any non-performance or breach of such obligations and covenants could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the BDC would not have any adequate remedy at law and, accordingly, the BDC shall be entitled to enforce the Purchaser’s obligations and covenants hereunder, including to fund its BDC Commitment, in accordance with the express terms of this Subscription Agreement. The parties hereto agree that they will not contest the appropriateness of specific performance as a remedy. The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the BDC shall not be required to post a bond or undertaking in connection with any order or injunction sought in connection with enforcing any of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

(e) The BDC hereby notifies the Purchaser that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001) (the “PATRIOT Act”), its affiliates are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Purchaser, which information includes names, addresses, tax identification numbers and other information that will allow them to identify the Purchaser in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and is effective for the parties hereto.

(f) The Purchaser agrees to provide all documentation and other information with respect to the Purchaser reasonably requested and/or required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

15.

Default.

In the event that a BDC Purchaser fails to fund all or any portion of its commitment to purchase BDC Shares as required under its Subscription Agreement (such amount, together with the full amount of such BDC Purchaser’s unfunded commitment to the BDC, a “Defaulted BDC Commitment”) and such default remains uncured for a period of 10 Business Days, the BDC shall be permitted to declare such BDC Purchaser to be in default of its obligations under its Subscription Agreement (any such BDC Purchaser, a “Defaulting BDC Purchaser”) and shall be permitted to pursue one or any combination of the following remedies:

(a) The BDC may prohibit the Defaulting BDC Purchaser from purchasing additional BDC Shares;

(b) The BDC may offer up to 100% of the Defaulting BDC Purchaser’s BDC Shares (the “Offered Shares”): first, to the other BDC Purchasers (other than any other Defaulting BDC Purchasers), and, if such other BDC Purchasers do not purchase all of such Offered Shares, second, to third parties, in each case for the same purchase price, subject to such other terms as the BDC in its discretion shall determine, which offer(s) shall be binding upon the Defaulting BDC Purchaser if the purchasing BDC Purchasers or third parties agree to assume a pro rata portion of the Defaulting BDC Purchaser’s unfunded commitment to purchase BDC Shares, including any portion then due and unpaid; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, no BDC Shares shall be transferred to any non-Defaulting BDC Purchaser or third party pursuant to this Section 15(c) in the event that such transfer would (x) violate the Securities Act , the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,or any state (or other jurisdiction) securities or “Blue Sky” laws applicable to the BDC or such transfer, (y) constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (z) cause all or any portion of the assets of the BDC to constitute “plan assets” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (it being understood that this proviso shall operate only to the extent useful to avoid the occurrence of the consequences contemplated herein);

(c) The BDC may pursue any other remedies against the Defaulting BDC Purchaser available to the BDC, subject to applicable law. The Purchaser agrees that this Section 15 is solely for the benefit of the BDC and shall be interpreted by the BDC against a Defaulting BDC Purchaser in the discretion of the BDC. The Purchaser further agrees that the Purchaser cannot and shall not seek to enforce this Section 15 against the BDC or any shareholder in the BDC; and

(d) The BDC shall be authorized to issue additional drawdown notices to non-Defaulting BDC Purchasers to make up for any short-fall caused by a Defaulting BDC Purchaser’s failure to fund any drawdown notice, provided that no BDC Purchaser shall be obligated to fund more than its then unfunded commitment to purchase BDC Shares as required under its Subscription Agreement.
