4. Sales of Common Shares.

(a) Purchase of Common Shares. On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company and the Dealer Manager hereby appoint Ameriprise Financial as a selected dealer for the Common Shares during the period from the date hereof to the Termination Date (the “Effective Term”), including the Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the DRIP. Subject to the performance by the Company and the Dealer Manager of all obligations to be performed by it hereunder and the completeness and accuracy of all of its representations and warranties, Ameriprise Financial agrees to use its best efforts, during the term of this Agreement, to offer and sell such number of Common Shares as contemplated by this Agreement at the price stated in the Prospectus, as the same may be adjusted from time to time. A purchase of Common Shares (a “Subscription”) must be made during the offering period described in the Prospectus. Persons desiring to purchase Common Shares are required to (i) deliver to Ameriprise Financial a payment for the aggregate dollar amount of Common Shares desired to be purchased at the gross offering price per Common Share in effect from time to time (the “Offering Price”) (subject to certain volume discounts, valuations or other discounts as described in the Prospectus, or such other per share price as may be applicable pursuant to the DRIP, in which case no selling commission or marketing support fee shall be paid) payable to Ameriprise Financial, or (ii) authorize a debit of such amount to the account such purchaser maintains with Ameriprise Financial. A subscription agreement in the form agreed upon by Ameriprise Financial and the Company (a “Subscription Agreement”) must be completed and submitted to the Company for all investors. On a weekly basis, Ameriprise Financial will transfer, via Federal Reserve bank wire, the total amount debited from investor accounts for the purchase of Common Shares along with a list including the name, address and telephone number of, the social security number or taxpayer identification number of, the brokerage account number of (if applicable), the number of Common Shares purchased by, any election to participate in the DRIP by, and the total dollar amount of investment by, each investor on whose behalf a check is submitted or a wire transfer is made. Ameriprise Financial also will forward all Subscription Agreements received in good order by Ameriprise Financial to the Company on a weekly basis. Ameriprise Financial shall use its best efforts to wire such funds or transmit checks to Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) on a weekly basis, after receipt by Ameriprise Financial of each order in good order. Ameriprise Financial will advise the Transfer Agent whether the funds Ameriprise Financial are submitting are attributable to individual retirement accounts, ▇▇▇▇▇ plans or any other employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee

*	CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST - Confidential portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or from some other type of investor. The parties acknowledge that any receipt by Ameriprise Financial of payments for Subscriptions for Common Shares shall be effected solely as an administrative convenience, and such receipt of payments shall not be deemed to constitute acceptance of orders to purchase Common Shares or sales of Common Shares by the Company.

All Subscriptions solicited by Ameriprise Financial will be strictly subject to review and acceptance by the Company, and the Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion to reject any Subscription or to accept or reject Subscriptions in the order of their receipt by the Company or otherwise. Within 30 days of receipt of a Subscription, the Company must accept or reject such Subscription. If the Company elects to reject such Subscription, within 10 business days after such rejection, it must notify the purchaser of such fact and cause the return of purchaser’s funds submitted with such application and any interest earned thereon. If Ameriprise Financial receives no notice of rejection within the foregoing time limits or if funds submitted by the purchaser are released from escrow to the Company within the foregoing time limits, the Subscription shall be deemed accepted. Ameriprise Financial agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to determine that the purchase of Common Shares is a suitable and appropriate investment for each potential purchaser of Common Shares based on information provided by such purchaser regarding, among other things, such purchaser’s financial situation and investment objectives. Ameriprise Financial agrees to maintain copies of the Subscriptions received from investors for a minimum of six years from the date of sale and will make such information available to the Company upon request by the Company.

(b) Closing Dates and Delivery of Common Shares. In no event shall a sale of Common Shares to an investor be completed until at least 5 business days after the date the investor receives a copy of the Prospectus. On the date Common Shares are first issued to investors (such date being herein referred to as the “Initial Closing Date”), the Company’s Transfer Agent will at such time and place as instructed by Ameriprise Financial and the Company (which instruction shall be subject to the satisfaction on such date of the conditions contained herein), deliver to the Company or its designee immediately available funds in an amount equal to the funds maintained by the Company on deposit prior to the date designated by the Company. If, after the Initial Closing Date, additional sales of Common Shares are made, on each such date (each an “Additional Closing Date”) and at each such time and place as instructed by the Company (which instruction shall be subject to the satisfaction on each Additional Closing Date of the conditions contained herein), the Company’s Transfer Agent shall be required to deliver to the Company or its designee immediately available funds in an amount equal to the funds on deposit prior to the date specified by the Company. The Initial Closing Date and each Additional Closing Date are each herein referred to as a “Closing Date.” Share issuance dates for purchases made pursuant to the DRIP will be as set forth in the DRIP.

(c) Dealers. The Common Shares offered and sold under this Agreement shall be offered and sold only by Ameriprise Financial, a member in good standing of FINRA. The Issuer Entities and affiliates thereof agree to participate in Ameriprise Financial’s marketing efforts to the extent that Ameriprise Financial may reasonably request and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agree to visit Ameriprise Financial’s offices as Ameriprise Financial may reasonably request.

(d) Compensation. In consideration for Ameriprise Financial’s execution of this Agreement, and for the performance of Ameriprise Financial’s obligations hereunder, the Dealer Manager shall pay Ameriprise Financial a commission (the “Selling Commission”) equal to 7.0% of the Offering Price of each Share sold by Ameriprise Financial, subject to reduction as specified in this Section 4(d) and the Prospectus. Except as otherwise provided below with respect to Special Sales (as defined below), from its marketing support fee, the Dealer Manager will allow to Ameriprise Financial a marketing support fee for performing marketing, educational and/or other services and activities on behalf of financial advisors

and investors (a “Reallowed Marketing Support Fee”) of 1.5% of the Offering Price of each Common Share sold by Ameriprise Financial. Such commission rates shall remain in effect during the full term of this Agreement unless otherwise changed by a written agreement between the parties hereto. A sale of Common Shares shall be deemed to be completed only after the Company receives a properly completed subscription agreement for Common Shares from Ameriprise Financial evidencing the fact that the investor had received a final Prospectus for a period of not less than 5 full business days, together with payment of the full purchase price of each purchased Share from a buyer who satisfies each of the terms and conditions of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and only after such subscription agreement has been accepted in writing by the Company. Such compensation shall be payable to Ameriprise Financial by the Dealer Manager after such acceptance of the subscription agreement; provided, however, that compensation or commissions shall not be paid by the Dealer Manager if the commission payable to Ameriprise Financial or any Ameriprise Financial salesman exceeds the amount allowed by any regulatory agency. Ameriprise Financial shall not re-allow any commissions to non-FINRA members. The Dealer Manager may pay reduced commissions or may eliminate commissions on certain sales of Common Shares, including the reduction or elimination of commissions in accordance with the following paragraph of this Section 4. Any such reduction or elimination of commissions will not, however, change the net proceeds to the Company.

No Selling Commission or marketing support fee shall be paid to Ameriprise Financial for purchases made by an investor pursuant to the Company’s DRIP.

The following persons and entities may purchase Common Shares net of 7.0% Selling Commissions in connection with Subscriptions solicited by Ameriprise Financial pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof (“Special Sales”): (i) a registered principal or representative of the Dealer Manager or Ameriprise Financial; (ii) an employee, officer, or trustee of the Company, the Advisor, or the Sub-Advisor or an employee, officer, or trustee of an affiliate of any of the foregoing entities; (iii) an investor whose contract for investment advisory and related brokerage services includes a fixed or “wrap” fee or other asset-based fee arrangement, unless that contract is with a federally registered investment advisor that is dually registered as a broker-dealer and provides financial planning services, in which case the investor will pay both Selling Commissions and the Reallowed Marketing Supporting Fee; and (iv) a person investing in a bank trust account with respect to which the decision-making authority for investments made has been delegated to the bank trust department. In the event Ameriprise Financial has a contractual arrangement with its clients for the payment of fees on terms that are inconsistent with the acceptance of all or a portion of the Selling Commissions and the Reallowed Marketing Support Fees, Ameriprise Financial may elect not to accept all or a portion of its compensation in the form of Selling Commissions and Reallowed Marketing Support Fees offered by the Company for Common Shares that it sells.

In connection with the purchase and subsequent purchase of certain minimum numbers of Common Shares, the amount of commissions otherwise payable may be reduced in accordance with the volume discounts schedule set forth below:


Dollar Amount of Shares Purchased	Purchase Price per Incremental Share in Volume Discount Range		Reduced Selling Commission Rate
1-500,000	$	10.00		7.0	%
500,001-750,000	$	9.90		6.0	%
750,001-1,000,000	$	9.80		5.0	%
1,000,001-2,500,000	$	9.70		4.0	%
2,500,001-5,000,000	$	9.60		3.0	%
5,000,001 and up	$	9.50		2.0	%

The above table assumes a $10.00 Offering Price per Common Share. Discounts will be adjusted appropriately for changes in the Offering Price per Common Share.

The volume discount is incremental. The reduced selling price per share and Selling Commissions will be applied to the incremental Common Shares within the indicated range only. Once an investor’s incremental purchases qualifies for a volume discount, the investor is eligible to receive the benefit of such discount for subsequent purchases of shares in the offering through the same selected broker-dealer. Ameriprise Financial shall notify the Company if and when Ameriprise Financial believes that an investor’s cumulative purchases qualify such investor for a volume discount.

The parties hereby agree that the foregoing compensation is not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commissions received in the sale of securities similar to the Common Shares, that Ameriprise Financial’s interest in the Offering is limited to such compensation from the Dealer Manager and Ameriprise Financial’s indemnity referred to in Section 9 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, and that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such compensation to Ameriprise Financial. In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager may reimburse Ameriprise Financial up to 0.5% of gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares for bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by Ameriprise Financial. Ameriprise Financial shall provide a detailed and itemized invoice for any such due diligence expenses.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Issuer Entity shall pay Ameriprise Financial the amounts set forth in this Section 4 if any such payment would cause the aggregate underwriting compensation to be paid to all parties in connection with the Offering to exceed the limitations prescribed by FINRA. The Issuer Entities shall notify Ameriprise Financial in writing if any of them becomes aware or believes in good faith that the aggregate underwriting compensation to be paid to all parties in connection with the Offering is reasonably likely to exceed the limitations prescribed by FINRA.

The Company represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates have offered or sold any Common Shares pursuant to this Offering, other than directly to the Company’s officers and directors and as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus, and agrees that, through the Termination Date, the Company will not offer or sell any Common Shares other than through the Dealer Manager as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement, Ameriprise Financial as herein provided and the Selected Dealers other than Ameriprise Financial as provided in the Selected Dealer Agreements, except to its officers and directors and as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus, upon written notice to Ameriprise Financial.

This section 4(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Calculation of Fees. Ameriprise Financial will have sole responsibility, and Ameriprise Financial’s records will provide the sole basis for calculating fees under this Section 4.

5. Covenants of Issuer Entities. Each Issuer Entity, as applicable, jointly and severally, covenants and agrees with Ameriprise Financial as follows:

(a) Commission Orders.

(b) Registration Statement. The Company will deliver to Ameriprise Financial without charge promptly after the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto becomes effective, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented), the Registration Statement and supplements and amendments thereto, if any (without exhibits), as Ameriprise Financial may reasonably request. Unless Ameriprise Financial is otherwise notified in writing by the Company, the Company hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by Ameriprise Financial both in connection with the Offering and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection therewith.

(c) “Blue Sky” and FINRA Qualifications. The Company and the Dealer Manager will endeavor in good faith to seek the approval of the Offering by FINRA and to qualify the Common Shares for offering and sale under the securities laws of all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, except in those jurisdictions which Ameriprise Financial may reasonably designate; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to subject itself to taxation as a party doing business in any such jurisdiction. In each jurisdiction where such qualification shall be effected, the Company will, unless Ameriprise Financial agrees that such action is not at the time necessary or advisable, file and make such statements or reports as are or may reasonably be required by the laws of such jurisdiction.

(d) “Blue Sky” Memorandum. The Company will furnish to Ameriprise Financial, and Ameriprise Financial may be allowed to rely upon, a blue sky memorandum prepared by counsel to the Company reasonably acceptable to Ameriprise Financial, in customary form naming the jurisdictions in which the Common Shares have been qualified for sale under the respective securities laws of such

jurisdiction. In each jurisdiction where the Common Shares have been qualified, the Company will make and file such statements and reports each year as are or may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to maintain such qualification throughout the period of the Offering.

(e) Amendments and Supplements. If during the time when a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event relating to the Company shall occur as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, to amend the Registration Statement or to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the Prospectus not misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to an investor, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements the Securities Act or the Regulations, the Company will notify a representative in the Ameriprise Financial legal department; prepare and furnish without expense to Ameriprise Financial a reasonable number of copies of an amendment or amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or a supplement or supplements to the Prospectus which will amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus, so that, as amended or supplemented, the Registration Statement or Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or to make the Registration Statement or the Prospectus comply with such requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, within 5 business days after the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company agrees to file a supplement to the Prospectus which incorporates the financial and other information contained in such Quarterly Report (a “Periodic Prospectus Supplement”). In addition, in order to comply with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, the Company agrees to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement each year to include the Company’s audited financial statements and other information contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for that fiscal year (an “Annual Post-Effective Amendment”). The Annual Post-Effective Amendment will be filed no later than 16 months from the date of the last audited financials contained in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.

(f) Delivery of Periodic Filings. The Company will include with any prospectus or “investor kit” delivered to Ameriprise Financial for distribution to potential investors in connection with the Offering a copy of the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q or a prospectus supplement containing the material information from such reports.

On or before April 1 of each calendar year, CFG shall furnish its audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year, confirmed in writing.

(i) Copies of Reports. Until the consummation of a liquidity event by the Company as described in the Prospectus (i.e., either (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets on a

complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation, (ii) a listing of the Common Shares on a national securities exchange or (iii) a merger or other transaction approved by the Company’s board of directors in which the Company’s stockholders receive cash or shares of a publicly traded company), the Company will furnish (which may be by electronic delivery) Ameriprise Financial with the following:

(i) As soon as practicable after they have been sent or made available by the Company to its stockholders or filed with the Commission, two copies of each annual and interim financial or other report provided to stockholders (excluding individual account statements sent to security holders of the Company in the ordinary course);

(ii) As soon as practicable, two copies of every press release issued by the Company and every material news item and article in respect of the Company or its affairs released by the Company; and

(j) Sales Material. The Company will deliver to Ameriprise Financial from time to time all advertising and supplemental sales material (whether designated solely for broker-dealer use or otherwise) proposed to be used or delivered in connection with the Offering, prior to the use or delivery to third parties of such material, and will not so use or deliver, in connection with the Offering, any such material to Ameriprise Financial’s customers or registered representatives without Ameriprise Financial’s prior written consent, which consent, in the case of material required by law, rule or regulation of any regulatory body, including FINRA, to be delivered, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company shall ensure that all advertising and supplemental sales literature used by Ameriprise Financial will have received all required regulatory approval, which may include, but is not limited to, the Commission, FINRA and state securities agencies, as applicable, prior to use by Ameriprise Financial. For the avoidance of doubt, ordinary course communications with the Company’s stockholders, including, without limitation, the delivery of annual and quarterly reports and financial information, dividend notices, distribution notices, reports of net asset value and information regarding the tax treatment of distributions and similar matters shall not be considered advertising and supplemental sales material, unless the context otherwise requires.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “Availability Date” means the 45th day after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter that includes such Effective Date, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, the term “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter (or if either of such dates specified above is a day the Commission is not open to receive filings, then the next such day that the Commission is open to receive filings).

(n) Compliance with the Exchange Act. The Company will comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act relating to the Company’s obligation to file and, as applicable, deliver to its stockholders periodic reports including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.

This section 5(q) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Further, no consent, approval or other authorization of or by, or filing or registration with, any court, administrative or regulatory agency or other governmental authority is required to be obtained by Ameriprise Financial in connection with Ameriprise Financial’s performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or if this Agreement is terminated, the Company and/or the Dealer Manager as designated in the Prospectus will pay, or will cause to be paid, in addition to the compensation described in Section 4(d) hereof (which Ameriprise Financial may retain up to the point of termination unless this Agreement is terminated without any Common Shares being sold, in which case no such compensation shall be paid), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the formation, qualification and registration of the Company and in marketing, distributing and processing the Common Shares under applicable federal and state law, and any other fees and expenses actually incurred and directly related to the Offering and the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, including such fees or expenses as: (i) the preparing, printing, filing and delivering of the Registration Statement (as originally filed and all amendments thereto) and of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and the preparing and printing of this Agreement and Subscription Agreements, including the cost of all copies thereof and any financial statements or exhibits relating to the foregoing supplied to Ameriprise Financial in quantities reasonably requested by Ameriprise Financial; (ii) the preparing and printing of the sales material and related documents and the filing and recording of such certificates or other documents necessary to comply with the laws of the State of Maryland for the formation of a BDC and thereafter for the continued good standing of the Company; (iii) the issuance and delivery of the Common Shares, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon; (iv) any escrow arrangements in connection with the transactions described herein, including any compensation or reimbursement to an escrow agent for its services as such; (v) the qualification or registration of the Common Shares under state securities or “blue sky” laws; (vi) the filing fees payable to the Commission and FINRA; (vii) the preparation and printing of advertising material in connection with and relating to the Offering, including the cost of all sales literature and investor and broker-dealer sales and information meetings; (viii) the cost and expenses of counsel and accountants of the Company; (ix) Ameriprise Financial’s costs of technology associated with the offering, other costs and expenses related to such technology costs, and the facilitation of the marketing of the Shares and the ownership of such Shares by Ameriprise Financial’s customers; and (x) any other expenses of issuance and distribution of the Shares.

Sales incentives will be deemed to be additional compensation. The aggregate value of incentives paid directly to an individual associated person during the Offering will not exceed $100 in any given year.

(c) Ad Hoc Requests. From time to time, the Issuer Entities may make requests that can reasonably be regarded as being related to but separate from the services contemplated by this Agreement (“Services” under this Agreement) or that otherwise fall outside the ordinary course of business relationships such as the one contemplated under this Agreement (“Ad Hoc Requests”). Examples of Ad Hoc Requests include, but are not limited to, requests that would require Ameriprise Financial to implement information technology modifications, participate in or respond to audits, inspections or compliance reviews or respond to or comply with document requests. To the extent that Ameriprise

Financial’s compliance with an Ad Hoc Request would cause Ameriprise Financial to incur material expenses, the Company and Ameriprise Financial will mutually agree as to the payment of such expenses between the parties. Ameriprise Financial reserves the right to refuse to comply with an Ad Hoc Request if the parties are unable to reach an agreement on payment of reasonable expenses unless failure to complete an Ad Hoc Request would violate FINRA Rules and provided that Ameriprise Financial’s consent to an agreement has not been unreasonably withheld; it being understood that consent shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld if the payment for such Ad Hoc Requests, individually or when aggregated with other amounts to be paid to Ameriprise pursuant to this Agreement, would violate FINRA rules. Payments for Ad Hoc Requests will be requested through the Dealer Manager and will be separate from and above the payments for Services, but shall be included, as applicable, when calculating total compensation paid to Ameriprise for purposes of the limitations described in Section 8(d) hereof.

(d) Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Issuer Entity shall pay Ameriprise Financial for any such expenses if any such payment would cause the aggregate underwriting compensation to be paid in connection with the offering to exceed the limitations prescribed by FINRA Rule 2310 (currently 10% of gross offering proceeds). The total compensation paid to Ameriprise Financial from the Issuer Entities in connection with the Offering pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof and this Section 8 shall not exceed the limitations prescribed by FINRA. The Company, the Dealer Manager and Ameriprise Financial agree to monitor the payment of all fees and expense reimbursements to assure that FINRA limitations are not exceeded. However, nothing in this Agreement shall relieve Ameriprise Financial of its obligations to comply with FINRA Rule 2310. If, at any time during the term of the Offering, the Company or Ameriprise Financial determines in good faith that any payment to Ameriprise Financial pursuant to this Agreement could result in a violation of the applicable FINRA regulations, such party shall promptly notify the other parties, and the Company and Ameriprise Financial agree to cooperate with each other to implement such measures as they determine are necessary to ensure continued compliance with applicable regulations.

This entire section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained: (i) in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Prospectus (as from time to time amended or supplemented); (ii) in any application or other document (in this Section 10 collectively referred to as an “Application”) executed by an Issuer Entity or based upon information furnished by an Issuer Entity and filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Common Shares under the securities laws thereof, or in any amendment or supplement thereto; or (iii) in the Company’s periodic reports such as annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K; provided however that no Issuer Entity shall be liable in any such case to the extent any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to an Issuer Entity by Ameriprise Financial expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any of such applications or in any such sales as the case may be;

(ii) the omission or alleged omission from (i) the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Prospectus (as from time to time amended or supplemented); (ii) any Applications; or (iii) the Company’s periodic reports such as annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided however that no Issuer Entity shall be liable in any such case to the extent any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by Ameriprise Financial expressly for use

in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any of such applications or in any such sales as the case may be;

(iii) any untrue statement of a material fact or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any supplemental sales material (whether designated for broker-dealer use or otherwise) approved by the Company for use by Ameriprise Financial or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements therein, when read in conjunction with the Prospectus delivered therewith not misleading;

(iv) any material misstatement contained in, or material omission in connection with, a written communication regarding the valuation of the Common Shares provided by or on behalf of the Company; or

(v) the breach by any Issuer Entity or any employee or agent acting on their behalf, of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification by an Issuer Entity of Ameriprise Financial, or each person, if any, who controls Ameriprise Financial within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents or its officers, directors or control persons, pursuant to this Section 10(a) shall be permitted under this Agreement for, or arising out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(b) Indemnification by the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Ameriprise Financial and each person, if any, who controls Ameriprise Financial within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all Losses (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing for, defending against or settling any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) arising out of or based upon:

(i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact provided by or attributable to the Sub-Advisor contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Prospectus (as from time to time amended or supplemented); provided, however, that the Sub-Advisor shall not be liable in any such case to the extent any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Sub-Advisor by Ameriprise Financial expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any of such applications or in any such sales as the case may be;

(ii) the omission or alleged omission from the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Prospectus (as from time to time amended or supplemented) of a material fact provided by or attributable to the Sub-Advisor required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Sub-Advisor shall not be liable in any such case to the extent any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Sub-Advisor by Ameriprise Financial expressly for use in the

Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any such sales as the case may be; and

(iii) the breach by the Sub-Advisor or any employee or agent acting on its behalf, of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions, in each case, applicable to the Sub-Advisor, of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification by the Sub-Advisor of Ameriprise Financial, or each person, if any, who controls Ameriprise Financial within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents or its officers, directors or control persons, pursuant to this Section 10(b) shall be permitted under this Agreement for, or arising out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(c) Indemnification by Ameriprise Financial. Subject to the conditions set forth below, Ameriprise Financial agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Issuer Entity, the Sub-Advisor, each of their directors and trustees, their officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each other person, if any, who controls an Issuer Entity or the Sub-Advisor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from an Issuer Entity contained in subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this Section and from the Sub-Advisor contained in subsections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement (as from time to time amended or supplemented) or Prospectus, or any application made in reliance upon or, in conformity with, written information furnished by Ameriprise Financial expressly for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any of such applications.

(d) Procedure for Making Claims. Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any claim or action, including any governmental investigation, commenced against it in which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have hereunder, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have other than on account of this indemnity agreement. The indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, shall assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties defendant in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such party unless such party has objected in accordance with the preceding sentence, in which event such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of separate counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses, reasonably

incurred, of more than one counsel (in additional to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 10 and the warranties and representations contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. An indemnifying party shall not be liable to an indemnified party on account of any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. The Company agrees promptly to notify Ameriprise Financial of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company in connection with the issue and sale of the Common Shares or in connection with the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution where the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any Losses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, except by reason of the terms thereof, the Issuer Entities or the Sub-Advisor, as applicable, on the one hand and Ameriprise Financial on the other shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by each of the Issuer Entities or the Sub-Advisor, on the one hand, and Ameriprise Financial on the other from the Offering based on the public Offering Price of the Common Shares sold and the Selling Commissions, marketing support fees and any other compensation received by Ameriprise Financial with respect to such Common Shares sold. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Issuer Entities or the Sub-Advisor, on the one hand and Ameriprise Financial on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer Entities or the Sub-Advisor, on the one hand and Ameriprise Financial on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the sum of (a) any marketing support fees retained by the Dealer Manager less any marketing support fees paid and (b) total proceeds from the Offering (net of Selling Commissions and marketing support fees but before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to (ii) the net Selling Commissions, marketing support fees and other items of compensation received by Ameriprise Financial. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by an Issuer Entity or the Sub-Advisor, on the one hand or Ameriprise Financial on the other. Each Issuer Entity and the Sub-Advisor agrees with Ameriprise Financial that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation, or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), Ameriprise Financial shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Common Shares subscribed for through Ameriprise Financial were offered to the subscribers exceeds the amount of any damages which Ameriprise Financial has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Further, in no event shall the amount of Ameriprise Financial’s contribution to the liability exceed the net Selling Commissions, marketing

support fees and any other compensation received by Ameriprise Financial from the proceeds of the Offering. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act or Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, any person that controls Ameriprise Financial within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same right to contribution as Ameriprise Financial, and each person who controls an Issuer Entity or the Sub-Advisor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same right to contribution as the Issuer Entity or Sub-Advisor. Each of the Issuer Entities other than the Company agrees to pay any amounts that are payable by the Company pursuant to this paragraph to the extent that the Company fails to make all contributions required to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section 10(e).

This entire section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. Effective Date, Term and Termination of this Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective as of the date it is executed by all parties hereto. After this Agreement becomes effective, any party may terminate it at any time for any reason by giving 2 days prior written notice to the other parties. Ameriprise Financial will suspend or cease offering and selling Common Shares as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of written notice from the Company or the Dealer Manager that the Company has suspended or terminated the Offering for any reason, and, in such event, Ameriprise Financial, in its sole discretion, may determine to resume the offer and sale of Common Shares hereunder only upon the subsequent request of the Company or the Dealer Manager.

(b) Additionally, Ameriprise Financial shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time during the Effective Term without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section on termination if: (i) any representations or warranties of any Issuer Entity hereunder are found to have been incorrect; (ii) any Issuer Entity fails, refuses or is unable to perform any condition of its obligations hereunder; (iii) the Prospectus is amended or supplemented despite Ameriprise Financial’s objection to such amendment or supplement; (iv) the United States becomes involved in a war or major hostilities or a material escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or other national or international calamity or crisis (other than hostilities in Iraq and Afghanistan); (v) a banking moratorium is declared by a state or federal authority or person; (vi) the Company sustains a material or substantial loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not said loss shall have been insured, will, in Ameriprise Financial’s good faith opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the offering and sale of the Common Shares; or (vii) there is, subsequent to the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, such change in the Company’s business, properties, affairs, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, or in the condition of securities markets generally as, in Ameriprise Financial’s good faith judgment, would make it inadvisable to proceed with the offering and sale of the Common Shares, or which would materially and adversely affect the operations of the Company.

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by any party pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) of this Section, the Company shall pay all expenses of the Offering as required by Section 6 hereof and no party will have any additional liability to any other party except for any liability which may exist under Sections 4(d) and 9. Following the termination of the Offering, in no event will the Company be liable to reimburse Ameriprise Financial for expenses other than as set forth in the previous sentence and Ameriprise Financial’s actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred following the termination of the Offering, including, without limitation, the cost of data transmissions and other related client transmissions related to changes in transfer agent or other actions taken by the Company.

(d) If Ameriprise Financial elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, on termination, Ameriprise Financial shall notify the Company promptly by telephone or facsimile with confirmation by letter. If the Company elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, on termination, the Company shall notify Ameriprise Financial promptly by telephone or facsimile with confirmation by letter.

17. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement, which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or

rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

18. Use and Disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and in addition to and not in lieu of other provisions in this Agreement:
