Prospect Capital Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Maryland (the “Company”), Prospect Capital Management L.P., a Delaware limited partnership registered as an investment adviser (the “Adviser”), Prospect Administration LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Administrator”), and InspereX LLC (the “Dealer Manager”) previously entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement dated October 30, 2020 (the “Original Agreement”). The parties hereby terminate the Original Agreement and confirm their agreement in the form of this Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement (this “Agreement”) as follows:

The Company has authorized and proposes to issue and sell, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares (the “Authorized Amount”), par value $0.001 per share, any combination of its 5.50% Series AA1 Preferred Stock (the “AA Shares”) and its 5.50% Series MM1 Preferred Stock (the “MM Shares”), each with a liquidation preference of $25 per share (the “Liquidation Preference”) (such Authorized Amount of 10,000,000 AA Shares and MM Shares being referred to herein collectively as the “Preferred Stock”). The Company may offer any future series of Preferred Stock, provided that the aggregate number of shares issued across all series of Preferred Stock offered pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed 10,000,000 shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the defined term “Preferred Stock” in this Agreement shall refer only to the Authorized Amount of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized for sale hereunder and shall not refer to any other class or series of preferred stock that the Company may offer, sell or have outstanding. The terms of the Preferred Stock are described in the prospectus referred to below. The Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Underlying Securities”).

The Preferred Stock is authorized by, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Company’s charter (the “Articles”).

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Company hereby (1) appoints you as agent of the Company for the purpose of soliciting offers to purchase the Preferred Stock and each of you and any other Agents (as such term is defined below) hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to use your reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase Preferred Stock upon terms acceptable to the Company at such times and in such amounts as the Company shall from time to time specify and in accordance with the terms hereof, and after consultation with the Dealer Manager, and (2) agrees that whenever the Company determines to sell Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement, such Preferred Stock shall be sold pursuant to a Terms Agreement (as defined herein) relating to such sale in accordance with the provisions of Section VI hereof between the Company and the Dealer Manager, with the Dealer Manager purchasing such Preferred Stock as principal for resale to (i) other Agents (as such term is defined below) and/or dealers (the “Selected Dealers”), each of whom will purchase such Preferred Stock as principal and (ii) its own customer accounts. The Company reserves the right to appoint additional agents (together with you, as Dealer Manager, the “Agents”) for the purpose of soliciting offers to purchase the Preferred Stock, which agency shall be on an on-going basis or a one−time basis. Any such additional Agent shall become a party to this Agreement and shall thereafter be subject to the provisions hereof and entitled to the benefits

hereunder upon the execution of a counterpart hereof or other form of acknowledgment of its appointment hereunder, including the form of letter attached hereto as Exhibit H, and delivery to the Company of addresses for notice hereunder. After the time an Agent is appointed, the Company shall deliver to the Agent copies of the documents delivered to other Agents on the date hereof under Sections III(a), III(b), III(c), III(d) and III(e) and, if such appointment is on an ongoing basis, Sections VIII(b), VIII(c) and VIII(d) hereof.

The Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement dated as of July 24, 2004, as renewed on June 17, 2021 by the Company’s board of directors (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), with the Adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Advisers Act”).

The Company will promptly effect the filings necessary pursuant to Rule 424 and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424 was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 8(d) of the 1933 Act, and, if any such stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(b)The Company will give the Agents notice of its intention to file or prepare any additional registration statement with respect to the registration of additional shares of Preferred Stock or any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (other than an amendment or supplement (i) effected by the filing of a document with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act or (ii) relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Preferred Stock) and will furnish the Agents with copies of any such registration statement or amendment or supplement proposed to be filed or prepared a reasonable time in advance of such proposed filing or preparation, as the case may be, and will give the Agents a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement.

(c)The Company will deliver to the Agents without charge, a copy of (i) the Registration Statement (as originally filed) and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or, in each case, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), (ii) any Additional Disclosure Item (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and (iii) a certified copy of the corporate authorization of the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock. The Company will furnish to the Agents as many copies of the Prospectus (both as amended or supplemented) as the Agents shall reasonably request so long as the Agents are required to deliver (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172) a Prospectus in connection with sales or solicitations of offers to purchase the Preferred Stock under the 1933 Act.

(d)The Dealer Manager will prepare, with respect to any Preferred Stock to be sold through or to the Dealer Manager pursuant to this Agreement (and any applicable Terms Agreement), a Final Term Sheet, which shall be preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus and which shall be reviewed and approved by the Company.

(e)Except as otherwise provided in subsection (n) of this Section, if at any time during the term of this Agreement any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of your counsel or counsel for the Company, to further amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of either such counsel, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act, immediate notice shall be given, and confirmed in writing, to the Agents to cease the solicitation of offers to purchase the Preferred Stock and to cease sales of any Preferred Stock by the Dealer Manager, and the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement and Prospectus comply with such requirements.

(f)Except as otherwise provided in subsection (n) of this Section, if at any time following the issuance of an Additional Disclosure Item during the term of this Agreement there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Additional Disclosure Item (other than a Rule 482 Additional Disclosure Item) conflicted or would conflict, or with respect to a Rule 482 Additional Disclosure Item, materially conflicted or would materially conflict, with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly (i) notify the Dealer Manager and (ii) either (1) amend or supplement such Additional Disclosure Item to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission or (2) file a report with the Commission under the 1934 Act that corrects such untrue statement or omission and promptly notify the Dealer Manager that such Additional Disclosure Item shall no longer be used.

(g)Except as otherwise provided in subsection (n) of this Section, on or prior to the date on which there shall be released to the general public interim financial statement information related to the Company with respect to each of the first three quarters of any fiscal year or preliminary financial statement information with respect to any fiscal year, the Company shall furnish promptly such information to the Agents and thereafter shall cause promptly the Prospectus to be amended or supplemented to include or incorporate by reference financial information with respect thereto, as well as such other information and explanations as shall be necessary for an understanding thereof, as may be required by the 1933 Act, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1940 Act”) or the 1934 Act or otherwise.

(i)As soon as practicable after furnishing with the Commission, the Company will timely make generally available to its security holders and to the Agents an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158.

(j)The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Preferred Stock for sale under the laws of such states and jurisdictions as the Agents may designate and the Company agrees to and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required to complete the distribution and sale of the Preferred Stock; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Preferred Stock, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. The Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Preferred Stock have been qualified as above provided. The Company will promptly advise the Agents of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Preferred Stock for sale in any such state or jurisdiction or the initiating or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(k)The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172), will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1940 Act and the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1940 Act and the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, respectively.

(l)The Company agrees to pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Preferred Stock within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the 1933 Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rule 456(b) and Rule 457(r) under the 1933 Act.

(n)The Company shall not be required to comply with the provisions of subsections (e), (f), (g) or (h) of this Section or the provisions of Sections VIII(b), (c) and (e) during any period from the time (i) the Agents have suspended solicitation of purchases of the Preferred Stock pursuant to a direction from the Company and (ii) the Agents shall not then hold any Preferred Stock as principal purchased from the Dealer Manager to the time the Company shall determine that solicitation of purchases of the Preferred Stock should be resumed or shall subsequently agree for the Dealer Manager to purchase Preferred Stock as principal.

(o)The Company will use the Net Proceeds in the manner specified in each Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(p)The Company will use its best efforts to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Subchapter M of the Code” and the “Code,” respectively).

(q)The Company will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by the Agents (or their counsel or other representatives), including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, as the Agents may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall be required to make available documents and senior corporate officers only (i) at the Company’s principal offices and (ii) during the Company’s ordinary business hours. The parties acknowledge that the due diligence review contemplated by this subsection (q) will include, without limitation, during the term of

this Agreement a quarterly diligence conference to occur within five Business Days after each filing by the Company of its Annual Report on Form 10-K and each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q whereby the Company will make its senior corporate officers available to address diligence inquiries of the Agents and will provide such additional information and documents as the Agents may reasonably request.

(r)The Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the 1940 Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Preferred Stock as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

(s)The Company shall use its best efforts in cooperation with the Agents to permit the Preferred Stock to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company.

(a)The Agents propose to use their respective reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Preferred Stock upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Prospectus. For the purpose of such solicitation the Agents will use the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented which has been most recently distributed to the Agents by the Company, and the Agents will solicit offers to purchase only as permitted or contemplated thereby and herein and will solicit offers to purchase the Preferred Stock only as permitted by the 1933 Act and the applicable securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase the Preferred Stock commencing at any time for any period of time or permanently. Upon receipt of instructions (which may be given orally) from the Company, the Agents will suspend promptly solicitation of offers to purchase until such time as the Company has advised the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed.

Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Agents are authorized to solicit offers to purchase the Preferred Stock only in denominations of $25 or more (in multiples of $25). The minimum investment amount is $1,000, but purchases of less than $1,000 may be permitted by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion. The Agents are not authorized to appoint subagents or to engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection with the offer or sale of the Preferred Stock other than Selected Dealers without the consent of the Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Dealer Manager shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase Preferred Stock. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Preferred Stock and may reject any proposed offers to purchase Preferred Stock as a whole or in part. Each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any proposed purchase of Preferred Stock, as a whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreements contained herein.

Unless otherwise authorized by the Company, all Preferred Stock shall be sold to the public at a fixed purchase price ranging from $23.75 to $25.00 per share (the “Price Range”). The actual purchase price per share of Preferred Stock within the Price Range shall be set by the Dealer Manager, the Agents and Selected Dealers, provided that any such price within the Price Range that is below $25 per share shall (i) require prior disclosure in the Prospectus, (ii) require the Company’s prior consent, (iii) be set forth in a Terms Agreement and (iv) be consistently applied to all sales to eligible customer accounts of the Dealer Manager, an Agent or a Selected Dealer, as applicable. The Company agrees to pay the Dealer Manager, as consideration for soliciting offers to purchase the Preferred Stock pursuant to a Terms Agreement, (i) a selling commission equal to up to 4.875 percent of the Liquidation Value of each share of Preferred Stock actually sold (the “Commission”), which Commission shall be determined by the

Company and the Dealer Manager from time to time and set forth in a Terms Agreement and (ii) a dealer manager fee of 0.125% of the Liquidation Value of each share of Preferred Stock actually sold (the “Dealer Fee”). The Dealer Manager shall retain the full Dealer Fee for each share of Preferred Stock actually sold and may reallow all or a portion of the Commission to the Agents or Selected Dealers, as determined among the Dealer Manager, the Agents and Selected Dealers from time to time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including this Section V, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed between the Company and the Dealer Manager that the Company is permitted to sell up to 25% of the shares of Preferred Stock in the offering directly to investors in negotiated transactions in which neither the Dealer Manager, any Agent nor any other party is acting as an underwriter, dealer or agent. Accordingly, the Dealer Manager shall not receive any Dealer Fee or Commission in connection with the Company’s direct sale of shares of Preferred Stock to an investor. Neither the Dealer Manager, any Agent nor any Selected Dealer shall have any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any such direct sales of shares of Preferred Stock by the Company to investors. The gross proceeds the Company receives from any such direct sales will not be included in the gross proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock for purposes of calculating the 10% cap imposed by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).

(b)The Company, the Dealer Manager and each Agent acknowledges and agrees, and each Selected Dealer will be required to acknowledge and agree, that no shares of Preferred Stock may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in or from any non-U.S. jurisdiction except upon the authorization of the Company and in compliance with any applicable rules and regulations of any such non-U.S. jurisdiction. The Dealer Manager, each Agent, and each Selected Dealer may arrange to sell shares of Preferred Stock in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, either directly or through affiliates, where it is permitted do so.

(c)In offering Preferred Stock, the Agents will comply, and each Selected Dealer will be required to comply, with applicable FINRA rules, including those relating to suitability of investors.

VI.

Each sale of Preferred Stock shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a separate agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Terms Agreement”) to be entered into which will provide for the sale of such Preferred Stock to, and the purchase and reoffering thereof, by the Dealer Manager as principal. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Preferred Stock by the Dealer Manager. The offering of Preferred Stock by the Company hereunder and the Dealer Manager’s agreement to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Terms Agreement shall describe the Preferred Stock to be purchased pursuant thereto by the Dealer Manager as principal, and may specify, among other things, the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be purchased, the net proceeds to the Company, the maximum initial public offering price at which shares of the Preferred Stock are proposed to be reoffered, the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Preferred Stock, and any other relevant terms. Terms Agreements, each of which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, or as otherwise agreed to between the Company and the Dealer Manager, may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between the Dealer Manager and the Company.

VII.

No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary or required for the performance by the Adviser or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder, in connection with the offering, issuance or sale of the Preferred Stock and the Underlying Securities hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Administration Agreement or the Prospectus (including the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”), except (i) such as have been already obtained under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act, (ii) such as may be required under state securities laws and (iii) the filing of the Notification of Election under the 1940 Act, which has been effected.

(8)Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit or proceeding or, to the knowledge of the Adviser or the Administrator, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Adviser or the Administrator, threatened, against or affecting either the Adviser or the Administrator, which is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (other than as disclosed therein), or which would reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or Administrator Material Adverse Effect, or which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, the Investment Advisory Agreement or the Administration Agreement; the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Adviser or the Administrator is a party or of which any of its respective property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Registration and the Prospectus, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to their business, would not reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or Administrator Material Adverse Effect.

(9)Absence of Violation or Default. Neither the Adviser nor the Administrator is in violation of its certificate of formation or certificate of limited partnership, as applicable, or limited liability company operating agreement or limited partnership operating agreement, as applicable, or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Adviser or the Administrator is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Adviser or the Administrator is subject (collectively, the “Instruments”), or in violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree except for such violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or an Administrator Material Adverse Effect, as applicable; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein and in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and the Underlying Securities and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”) and compliance by the Adviser with its obligations hereunder and under the Investment Advisory Agreement and by the Administrator with its obligations hereunder and under the Administration Agreement do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon

any property or assets of the Adviser or the Administrator pursuant to any Instrument, as applicable, except for such violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or an Administrator Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the limited partnership or limited liability company operating agreement, as applicable, of the Adviser or Administrator, respectively; nor will such action result in any violation of any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Adviser, the Administrator, or any of their respective assets, properties or operations except for such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or an Administrator Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

(10)Possession of Licenses and Permits. Each of the Adviser and the Administrator possesses such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by it (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”), except where the failure so to possess would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or an Administrator Material Adverse Effect, as applicable; each of the Adviser and Administrator is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or an Administrator Material Adverse Effect, as applicable; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or an Administrator Material Adverse Effect, as applicable; and neither the Adviser nor the Administrator has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or an Administrator Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

(11)Executives and Key Employees. The Adviser is not aware that (i) any executive, key employee or significant group of employees of the Company, if any, the Adviser or the Administrator, as applicable, plans to terminate employment with the Company, the Adviser or the Administrator or (ii) any such executive or key employee is subject to any non-compete, nondisclosure, confidentiality, employment, consulting or similar agreement that would be violated by the present or proposed business activities of the Company or the Adviser except where such termination or violation would not reasonably be expected to have an Adviser Material Adverse Effect.

(c)All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company, the Advisor or the Administrator submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the any Agent or any controlling person of any Agent, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive each delivery of and payment for any of the shares of Preferred Stock.

VIII.

(a)Each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Preferred Stock, and each delivery of Preferred Stock to the Dealer Manager pursuant to a sale of Preferred Stock to the Dealer Manager, shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the representations and warranties of the Company and the Adviser and Administrator made to the Agents in this

Agreement and in any certificate theretofore delivered pursuant hereto are true and correct at the time of such acceptance or sale, as the case may be, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct at the time of delivery to the Dealer Manager of the Preferred Stock relating to such acceptance or sale, as the case may be, as though made at and as of each such time (and it is understood that such representations and warranties shall relate to the Registration Statement, and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to each such time).

(b)Except as otherwise provided in subsection (n) of Section IV, each time:

(1)the applicable Terms Agreement so specifies (unless waived by the Dealer Manager);

(2)the Company files an Annual Report on Form 10-K, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a Current Report on Form 8-K required by Item 2 of Form 8-K with the Commission that is incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; or

(3)if required by the Agents after the Registration Statement or the Prospectus has been amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement (i) effected by the filing of a document with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act or (ii) which relates exclusively to an offering of securities other than the Preferred Stock or a new Registration Statement is used by the Company with respect to the Preferred Stock,

(c)Except as otherwise provided in subsection (n) of Section IV, each time:

(1)the applicable Terms Agreement so specifies (unless waived by the Dealer Manager);

(3)if required by the Agents after the Registration Statement or the Prospectus has been amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement (i) effected by the filing of a document with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act or (ii) which relates exclusively to an offering of securities other than the Preferred Stock) or a new Registration Statement is used by the Company with respect to the Preferred Stock,

the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Agents and Agent Counsel the written opinions of each Company Counsel, dated the date specified in the applicable Terms Agreement or dated the date of filing with the Commission of such supplement or document or the date of effectiveness of such amendment, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, in the case of the opinion of the General Counsel, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, and in the case of the opinions of Regular Counsel and Maryland Counsel, of the same tenors as the opinions referred to in Section III(a)(2) and III(a)(3) hereof, respectively, but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinions, provided, however, in the case of the Company filing a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the General Counsel shall only be required to furnish an opinion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, Regular Counsel shall only be required to furnish a negative assurance letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 and Maryland Counsel shall not be required to furnish such opinion; or, in lieu of such opinions, counsel last furnishing such opinions to the Agents shall furnish the Agents with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agents may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it was dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance).

(d)Except as otherwise provided in subsection (n) of Section IV, each time:

the Company shall cause BDO to furnish the Agents a letter, dated the date specified in the applicable Terms Agreement or dated the date of effectiveness of such amendment, supplement or document filed with the Commission, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to the Agents, of the same tenor as the portions of the letter referred to in Section III(c) hereof but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented solely to include financial information as of and for a fiscal quarter, BDO may limit the scope of such letter to the unaudited financial statements included in such amendment or supplement.

(f)The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Dealer Manager, and each of the Dealer Manager and the Agents represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, it will not make any offer relating to the Preferred Stock that would constitute an Additional Disclosure Item required to be filed with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the 1933 Act, provided that the prior consent of the Dealer Manager and the Company shall be deemed to have been given in respect of each Additional Disclosure Item that contains the final terms of the Preferred Stock included in such Additional Disclosure Item, if any, filed with the Commission by the Company.

(g)The Company hereby acknowledges that (1) the solicitation of purchases of the Preferred Stock and any purchase and sale of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Agents and any affiliate through which they may be acting, on the other, (2) the Underwriters (as defined in Exhibit G hereinafter) are acting as principal and not as an agent (except as provided herein) or fiduciary of the Company and (3) the Company’s engagement of the Agents in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Agents has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees

that it will not claim that the Agents have rendered advisory services of any nature or in any respect, or owe an agency (except as provided herein), fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

IX.

(a)The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Agent and each person who controls any Agent within the meaning of either the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or the 1940 Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Additional Disclosure Item, the Final Term Sheet or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. Any indemnification by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 17(i) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.

(b)Each Agent severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or the 1940 Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Agent, but only with reference to written information relating to such Agent furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Agent specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. Each Agent agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action to which they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section IX(b). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which each Agent may otherwise have.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section IX of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section IX, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under subsection (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in subsection (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying

party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d)In the event that the indemnity provided in subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section IX is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and each Agent severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and the each Agent may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by any Agent on the other from the offering of the Preferred Stock; provided, however, that in no case shall any Agent be responsible for any amount in excess of an amount represented by the percentage that the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Agent bears to the total sales price from the sale of the Preferred Stock sold to or through the Agents to the date of such liability. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and each Agent shall severally contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the each Agent shall be deemed to be equal to an amount represented by the percentage that the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Agent bears to the total sales price from the sale of the Preferred Stock sold to or through the Agents. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or any Agent on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and each Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section IX, each person who controls any Agent within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of any Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to

contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this subsection (d).

(e)The Company acknowledges that (i) the name of such Agent appearing on the front cover of the Prospectus, (ii) the name of such Agent appearing in the first paragraph of the “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus and (iii) the second, fifth and sixth sentences of the second paragraph and the last paragraph of the “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Agent for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity.

The Company may elect to suspend or terminate the offering of Preferred Stock under this Agreement at any time; the Company also (as to any one or more Agents) or any Agent (as to itself) may terminate the appointment and arrangements described in this Agreement. Upon receipt of instructions from the Company, the Dealer Manager shall suspend or terminate the participation of any Selected Dealer under the Master Selected Dealer Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit G. Such actions may be taken, in the case of the Company, by giving prompt written notice of suspension to all of the Agents and by giving not less than 5 days’ written notice of termination to the affected party and the other parties to this Agreement, or in the case of an Agent, by giving not less than 5 days’ written notice of termination to the Company and except that, if at the time of termination an offer for the purchase of Preferred Stock shall have been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of the Preferred Stock relating thereto shall not yet have occurred, the Company shall have the obligations provided herein with respect to such Preferred Stock. The Company shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of any such termination.

The Dealer Manager may, and, upon the request of an Agent with respect to any Preferred Stock being purchased by such Agent shall, terminate any agreement hereunder by the Dealer Manager to purchase such Preferred Stock, immediately upon notice to the Company at any time prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto, (i) if there has been, since the date of such agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto since the date of the applicable agreement), any change, or any development involving an impending prospective change, in or affecting the business, financial position or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto since the date of the applicable agreement), or (ii) if there shall have occurred, since the date of such agreement, any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, financial or otherwise, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of such Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Preferred Stock or enforce contracts for the sale of the Preferred Stock, or (iii) if, since the date of such agreement, trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange, or if trading generally on either the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, (iv) if there shall have come to the Dealer Manager’s or such Agent’s attention any facts that would cause the Dealer Manager or such Agent to believe that the Prospectus, at the time each was required to be delivered to a purchaser of Preferred Stock, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time of such delivery, not misleading, or (v) if, since the date of such agreement, a banking moratorium shall have been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

Any Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination in your absolute discretion on the terms set forth or incorporated by reference therein. The termination of this Agreement shall not require termination of any agreement by the Dealer Manager to purchase Preferred Stock as principal, and the termination of any such agreement shall not require termination of this Agreement.

If this Agreement is terminated, Section IX and Section XIII hereof shall survive and shall remain in effect; provided that if at the time of termination of this Agreement an offer to purchase Preferred Stock has been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the Dealer Manager of such Preferred Stock has not occurred, the provisions of all of Section IV, Section V(b) and Section VI shall also survive until time of delivery.

In the event a proposed offering is not completed according to the terms of this Agreement, an Agent will be reimbursed by the Company only for out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred.

XI.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all statements, requests, notices and advices hereunder shall be in writing, or by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, and if to an Agent shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered in person or sent by telex, facsimile transmission (confirmed in writing), or registered mail to such Agent at its address, telex or facsimile number set forth on Annex A hereto and if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by telex, facsimile transmission (confirmed in writing) or registered mail to the Company at the address specified below.

Each party hereby also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereto also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

XIV.

If this Agreement is executed by or on behalf of any party, such person hereby states that at the time of the execution of this Agreement he has no notice of revocation of the power of attorney by which he has executed this Agreement as such attorney.

The Company will pay the following expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement; (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Preferred Stock (including any expenses incurred by the Agents in connection therewith); (iii) all expenses incurred in preparing, printing and distributing each Additional Disclosure Item, if any, the Prospectus to investors or prospective investors, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s auditors and of any paying or other agents appointed by the Company; (v) the printing and delivery to the Agents in quantities as hereinabove stated of copies of the Registration Statement, each Additional Disclosure Item, if any, and the Prospectus; (vi) if the Company lists the Preferred Stock on a securities exchange, the costs and fees of such listing; (vii) the fees and expenses, if any, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Agent Counsel incurred with respect to any filing with the FINRA; (viii) the cost of providing CUSIP or other identification numbers for the Preferred Stock (including any expenses incurred by the Agents in connection therewith); (ix) all reasonable expenses (including fees and disbursements of Agent Counsel) in connection with “Blue Sky” qualifications; and (x) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Preferred Stock. Additionally, the Company shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of Agent Counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that such fees and disbursements shall not exceed (A) $50,000 in connection with the presentation of this Agreement and the commencement of this offering and (B) the aggregate amount of $15,000 on a quarterly basis thereafter (the “Agent Counsel Fee”), without the prior written approval of the Company and any amounts exceeding such Agent Counsel Fees shall be paid by the Agents.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Agents with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Agreement may be executed by each of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, and by each of the parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. Federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

XV.

Master Selected Dealer Agreement

February 18, 2022

Dear (Customer Name):

In connection with public offerings of securities after the date hereof for which we are acting as lead agent, as lead or co-manager of an underwriting syndicate or in connection with unregistered (pursuant to Rule 144A or otherwise exempt) offerings of securities for which we are acting as lead agent or lead or co-manager or otherwise involved in the distribution of securities by means of an offering of securities for sale to selected dealers, you may be offered the right as a selected dealer to purchase as principal a portion of such securities.

This will confirm our mutual agreement as to the general terms and conditions applicable to your participation in any such selected dealer group organized by us as follows.

1.Applicability of this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) shall be applicable to any offering of securities (“Securities”), whether a public offering effected pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an offering exempt from registration thereunder (other than an offering of Securities effected wholly outside the United States of America), in respect of which InspereX LLC (“InspereX”), clearing through RBC Dain Correspondent Services (the “Account”) (acting for its own Account or for the account of any underwriting or agent or similar group or syndicate), is responsible for managing or otherwise implementing the sale (whether by acting as lead agent or manager or by facilitating the re-offer of Securities or otherwise) of the Securities to selected dealers (“Selected Dealers”) and has expressly informed you that these terms and conditions shall be applicable. Any such offering of Securities to you as a Selected Dealer is hereinafter called an “Offering.” In the case of any Offering where we are acting for the account of any underwriting or agent or similar group or syndicate (whether purchasing as principal for resale or soliciting as agent purchases of Securities directly from the issuer) (“Underwriters”), the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, and binding upon, such Underwriters, including, in the case of any Offering where we are acting with others as representatives of Underwriters, such other representatives. The use of the defined term Underwriter herein shall be understood to include acting as agent.

2.Conditions of Offering; Acceptance and Purchases. Any Offering: (i) will be subject to delivery of the Securities and their acceptance by us and any other Underwriters; (ii) may be subject to the approval of all legal matters by counsel and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, and (iii) may be made on the basis of reservation of Securities or an allotment against subscription. We will advise you by electronic mail, facsimile or other form of Written Communication (as defined below) of the particular method and supplementary terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the information as to prices and offering date referred to in Section 3(c) hereof) of any Offering in which you are invited to participate. “Written Communication” may include, in the case of any Offering described in Section 3(a) hereof, Additional Information (as defined below) and, in the case of any Offering described in Section or 3(b) hereof, an offering circular). You agree that if we make electronic delivery of a prospectus or an offering circular or any supplement thereto, we have satisfied our obligation, if any, pursuant to Section 3 hereof to deliver to you a prospectus or an offering circular or any supplement thereto. To the extent such supplementary terms and conditions are inconsistent with any provision herein, such terms and conditions shall supersede any such provision. Unless

F-1

otherwise indicated in any such Written Communication, acceptances and other communications by you with respect to an Offering should be sent to InspereX LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇). We reserve the right to reject any acceptance in whole or in part. Unless notified otherwise by us, Securities purchased by you shall be paid for on such date as we shall determine, on one day's prior notice to you, by electronic transfer in an amount equal to the Public Offering Price (as hereinafter defined) or, if we shall so advise you, at such Public Offering Price less the Concession (as hereinafter defined), payable in Federal funds to the order of RBC Dain Correspondent Services clearing for the account of InspereX LLC, against delivery of the Securities. If Securities are purchased and paid for at such Public Offering Price, such Concession will be paid after the termination of the provisions of Section 3(c) hereof with respect to such Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless notified otherwise by us, payment for and delivery of Securities purchased by you shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, if you are a member, unless you have otherwise notified us prior to the date specified in a Written Communication to you from us or, if you are not a member, settlement may be made through a correspondent who is a member pursuant to instructions which you will send to us prior to such specified date.

3.Offering Materials and Arrangements.

(a)Registered Offerings. In the case of any Offering of Securities that are registered under the Securities Act (“Registered Offering”), the following terms shall have the following meanings. The term “Preliminary Prospectus” means any preliminary prospectus relating to the Offering or any preliminary prospectus supplement together with a prospectus relating to the Offering. The term “Prospectus” means the prospectus, together with the final prospectus supplement, if any, relating to the Offering filed or to be filed under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. The term “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and the term “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” means (i) a free writing prospectus authorized for use by us and the issuer in connection with the Offering of the Securities that has been or will be filed with the Commission (as defined) in accordance with Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act or (ii) a free writing prospectus containing solely a description of terms of the Securities that (a) does not reflect the final terms, (b) is exempt from the filing requirement pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) and (c) is furnished to you for use by InspereX LLC. “Additional Information” means the Preliminary Prospectus together with each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, if any, delivered to you relating to the Offering of Securities. In connection with any Registered Offering, we will provide to you electronically copies of the Additional Information and of the Prospectus (other than, in each case, information incorporated by reference therein) for the purposes contemplated by the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder and will make available to you such number of copies of the Prospectus as you may reasonably request as soon as practicable after sufficient copies are made available to us by the issuer of the Securities.

You agree that you will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of any written communication (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) concerning the Offering, any issuer of the Securities (including, without limitation, any free writing prospectus and any information furnished by us and any issuer of Securities but not incorporated by reference into the Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus), other than (a) any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or (b) any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.

You represent and warrant that you are familiar with the rules relating to the distribution of a Preliminary Prospectus and agree that you will comply therewith. You represent and warrant that you are familiar with Rule 173 under the Securities Act relating to electronic delivery. You agree to make a record of your distribution of each Preliminary Prospectus and, when furnished with copies of any revised Preliminary Prospectus, you will, upon our request,

F-2

promptly forward copies thereof to each person to whom you have theretofore distributed a Preliminary Prospectus.

You agree that in purchasing Securities in a Registered Offering you will rely upon no statement whatsoever, written or oral, other than the statements in the Preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus delivered to you by us. You will not be authorized by the issuer or other seller of Securities offered pursuant to a prospectus or by any Underwriter to give any information or to make any representation not contained in the prospectus in connection with the sale of such Securities.

You agree not to market the Securities in any manner which is inconsistent with or not on the basis of the materials furnished to you for use in the distribution and you agree not to use marketing materials other than those that have been approved for use.

(b)Offerings Pursuant to Offering Circular. In the case of any Offering of Securities other than a Registered Offering, which is made pursuant to an offering circular or other disclosure document comparable to a prospectus in a Registered Offering, we will provide to you electronically copies of each preliminary offering circular, if any, any offering circular supplement and of the final offering circular relating thereto and will make available to you such number of copies of the final offering circular as you may reasonably request as soon as practicable after sufficient copies are made available to us by the issuer of the Securities. You agree that you will comply with the applicable Federal and state laws, and the applicable rules and regulations of any regulatory body promulgated thereunder, governing the use and distribution of offering materials by brokers or dealers.

You agree that in purchasing Securities pursuant to an offering circular you will rely upon no statements whatsoever, written or oral, other than the statements in the preliminary or final offering circular delivered to you by us.

You agree not to market the Securities in any manner which is inconsistent with or not on the basis of the materials furnished to you for use in the distribution and you agree not to use marketing materials other than those that have been approved for use.

(c)Offer and Sale to the Public. With respect to any Offering of Securities, we will inform you by a Written Communication of the public offering price, the selling concession, the reallowance (if any) to dealers and the time when you may commence selling Securities to the public. After such public offering has commenced, we may change the public offering price, the selling concession and the reallowance to dealers. The offering price, selling concession and reallowance (if any) to dealers at any time in effect with respect to an Offering are hereinafter referred to, respectively, as the “Public Offering Price”, the “Concession” and the “Reallowance.” With respect to each Offering of Securities, until the provisions of this Section 3(c) shall be terminated pursuant to Section 5 hereof, you agree to offer Securities to the public at no more than the Public Offering Price. If so notified by us, you may sell Securities to the public at a lesser negotiated price than the Public Offering Price, but in an amount not to exceed the "Concession." If a Reallowance is in effect, a reallowance from the Public Offering Price not

F-3

in excess of such Reallowance may be allowed as consideration for services rendered in distribution to dealers who are actually engaged in the investment banking or securities business, who are either (i) members in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) who agree to abide by the applicable rules of FINRA (and its predecessor, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”), as applicable) (see Section 4(a) below) or (ii) foreign banks, dealers or institutions not eligible for membership in FINRA who represent to you that they will promptly reoffer such Securities at the Public Offering Price and will abide by the conditions with respect to foreign banks, dealers and institutions set forth in Section 4(a) hereof.

(d)Over-allotment; Stabilization; Unsold Allotments. We may, with respect to any Offering, be authorized to over-allot in arranging sales to Selected Dealers, to purchase and sell Securities for long or short account and to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities. You agree that, upon our request at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the provisions of Section 3(c) hereof with respect to any Offering, you will report to us the amount of Securities purchased by you pursuant to such Offering which then remain unsold by you and will, upon our request at any such time, sell to us for our account or the account of one or more Underwriters such amount of such unsold Securities as we may designate at the Public Offering Price less an amount to be determined by us not in excess of the Concession. If, prior to the later of (i) the termination of the provisions of Section 3(c) hereof with respect to any Offering or (ii) the covering by us of any short position created by us in connection with such Offering for our account or the account of one or more Underwriters, we purchase or contract to purchase for our account or the account of one or more Underwriters in the open market or otherwise any Securities purchased by you under this Agreement as part of such Offering, you agree to pay us on demand an amount equal to the Concession with respect to such Securities (unless you shall have purchased such Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof at the Public Offering Price in which case we shall not be obligated to pay such Concession to you pursuant to Section 2 plus transfer taxes and broker's commissions or dealer's ▇▇▇▇-up, if any, paid in connection with such purchase or contract to purchase.

InspereX LLC, as such, shall have full authority to take such action as it deems advisable in all matters pertaining to the Offering of the Securities or arising under this Agreement. InspereX LLC will have no liability to any Selected Dealer for any act or omission except for obligations expressly assumed by it hereunder, and no obligations on the part of InspereX LLC will be implied hereby or inferred herefrom.

(d)Blue Sky Laws. Upon application to us, we shall inform you as to any advice we have received from counsel concerning the jurisdictions in which Securities have been qualified for sale or are exempt under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions, but we do not assume any obligation or responsibility as to your right to sell Securities in any such jurisdiction. You agree to: (a) only engage in a distribution in accordance with the terms of any restrictions in the final Prospectus or offering circular, as applicable; (b) not conduct any distribution which
