Investment Advisory and Management Agreement. On July 30, 2010, the Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement with Saratoga pursuant to which Saratoga acts as the Companys external investment adviser. The initial term of the investment advisory and management agreement is for two years, with automatic, one-year renewals, subject to approval by the Companys board of directors, a majority of whom are not interested directors as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, and/or the Companys stockholders. Pursuant to the investment advisory and management agreement, Saratoga implements the Companys business strategy on a day-to-day basis and performs certain services for the Company, under the direction of the Companys board of directors. Saratoga, as the Companys investment adviser, is responsible for, among other duties, performing all of the Companys day-to-day functions, determining investment criteria, sourcing, analyzing and executing investments, asset sales, financings and performing asset management duties. Under the investment advisory and management agreement, the Company pays Saratoga a fee consisting of two components a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee is paid quarterly in arrears, and is equal to 1.75% per annum of the Companys gross assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) and is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter based on the average value of the Companys gross assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) as of the end of such fiscal quarter and the end of the immediate prior fiscal quarter

     Section 6.02 Licensor’s Indemnity. Licensor shall pay and indemnify Licensee and each Subsidiary from and against all Damages which are solely attributable to use of the Licensed Marks by Licensor and licensees other than Licensee.

     Section 6.03 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE LICENSE GRANTED HEREIN IS MADE ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, AND LICENSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR INDEMNITIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE REGARDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OF NON-INFRINGEMENT.

From the date of the such notice of such request, Licensee shall and shall ensure that each of its Subsidiaries does not use the Licensed Marks or any combination or any derivation thereof or any translation of any of such words into any other language. Any costs associated with the change of name and logo of Licensee and its Subsidiaries shall be for the account of Licensee.

     (b) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 7, the provisions of Sections Section 6.01 7.03 and 8.05 and this Section 7.02 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
