WITH PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

RE:    PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”) entered into an amended and restated dealer manager agreement, dated as of February 25, 2021, as amended from time to time (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), with Prospect Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), under which the Dealer Manager agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit subscriptions in connection with the public offering (the “Offering”) for up to 60,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of preferred stock, with a $1,500,000,000 aggregate liquidation preference (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock will be issued in multiple series, including the 5.50% Series Al Preferred Stock (“Series Al Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series Ml Preferred Stock (“Series M1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series M2 Preferred Stock (“Series M2 Preferred Stock”), the 6.50% Series A3 Preferred Stock (“Series A3 Preferred Stock”) and the 6.50% Series M3 Preferred Stock (“Series M3 Preferred Stock”), and the Company may offer any future series of Preferred Stock, provided that the aggregate number of shares issued across all series of Preferred Stock shall not exceed 60,000,000 shares (the “Offering”). Each share of Preferred Stock will be sold at a public offering price of $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”). The minimum investment amount is $5,000, but purchases of less than $5,000 may be permitted by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion. The Offering will commence on the initial Effective Date (as defined below). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings therefor as in the Dealer Manager Agreement.
In connection with the performance of the Dealer Manager’s obligations under Section 3 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Dealer Manager is authorized to retain the services of securities dealers (the “Soliciting Dealers”) who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to solicit subscriptions for Preferred Stock in connection with the Offering. The Dealer Manager is also authorized to enter into agreements with selected investment advisers (“SIAs”) pursuant to which the SIAs have agreed to provide their clients with information concerning the Offering and the procedures for subscribing for shares of Preferred Stock (Soliciting Dealers and SIAs are referred to collectively as “Financial Intermediaries”). You are hereby invited to become a Financial Intermediary and, as such, to use your reasonable best efforts to solicit subscribers for Preferred Stock or otherwise provide information regarding the Preferred Stock, in accordance with the following terms and conditions of this Financial Intermediary Agreement (this “Agreement”). The Company will sell Preferred Stock using two closing services provided by the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The first service is DTC closing (“DTC Settlement”), and the second service is Direct Registration Service (“DRS Settlement”). The Company will deliver the Series A1 Preferred Stock, the Series M1 Preferred Stock, the Series A3 Preferred Stock and the Series M3 Preferred Stock through the facilities of DTC Settlement or DRS Settlement and the Series M2 Preferred Stock only through DRS Settlement.
1.Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Rules and Regulation”), as applied pursuant to the Small Business Credit Availability Act (“SBCAA”) or otherwise, on Form N-2 covering the registration of the Company’s
A-1



securities under the Securities Act, and the offer and sale thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulation. Such registration statement became effective immediately upon its filing with the Commission. Prior to the expiration of any currently effective registration statement covering the registration of the Company’s securities under the Securities Act, and the offer and sale thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulation, the Company will prepare and file a new automatic shelf registration statement on Form N-2 covering the continued registration of the Company’s securities under the Securities Act, and the offer and sale thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulation.
Except where the context otherwise requires, each such registration statement, as amended, including all documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any Rule 430B information contained in a prospectus related to the Offering subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497, Rule 424 or such other Securities Act Rules and Regulations as may be applicable to the Company and deemed to be part of such registration statement and also including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, is herein called the “Registration Statement.”
“Prospectus” means the base prospectus relating to various securities of the Company that is included in the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement (including a pricing supplement, if applicable) relating to the Offering, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 or Rule 424, as applicable, including, in each case, any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the SBCAA or the rules of the Commission promulgated thereunder or otherwise.
“Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statement, as amended, as of the time of the first contract of sale of Preferred Stock of a particular series, which time shall be considered the new effective date of such registration statement, as amended, with respect to such series of Preferred Stock (within the meaning of Rule 430B(f)(2)). For purposes of this definition, information contained in a form of prospectus, prospectus supplement or pricing supplement that is retroactively deemed to be a part of such registration statement, as amended, pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C shall be considered to be included in such registration statement, as amended, as of the time specified in Rule 430B or Rule 430C, as the case may be.
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed under the SBCAA to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, as of any specified date; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including those made pursuant to Rule 497, Rule 424 or such other Securities Act Rules and Regulations as may be applicable to the Company, shall be deemed to mean and include, without limitation, the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed under the SBCAA or the rules of the Commission promulgated thereunder or otherwise to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, as of any specified date.
As used herein, the term “Effective Date” shall refer to the effective date of each Prospectus relating to the Offering, unless the context otherwise requires.

Financial Intermediary will not send or provide amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or any Approved Sales Literature to any investor unless it has previously sent or provided a Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto to that investor or has simultaneously sent or provided a Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto with such Prospectus amendment or supplement or Approved Sales Literature.
(d)Broker-Dealer Use Only Material. Financial Intermediary will not show to or provide any investor or reproduce any material or writing which is supplied to it by the Dealer Manager and marked “broker-dealer use only,” institutional communication, or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the offer or sale of Preferred Stock to members of the public.

(the “Escrow Agent”) at the address provided in the Subscription Agreement;
(ii)When Financial Intermediary’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Subscription Agreement and check for the purchase of Preferred Stock was initially received by Financial Intermediary from the subscriber, Financial Intermediary shall transmit the Subscription Agreement and check for the purchase of Preferred Stock to the Escrow Agent by the end of the next business day following receipt of the check and Subscription Agreement. When, pursuant to Financial Intermediary’s internal supervisory procedures, Financial Intermediary’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), Financial Intermediary shall transmit the check for the purchase of Preferred Stock and Subscription Agreement to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following Financial Intermediary’s receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check for the purchase of Preferred Stock. The Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check for the purchase of Preferred Stock, forward both the Subscription Agreement and check for the purchase of Preferred Stock to the Escrow Agent. If any Subscription Agreement solicited by Financial Intermediary is rejected by the Company, then the Subscription Agreement and check will be returned to the rejected subscriber within ten business days from the date of rejection. As used in this Agreement, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on
A-7



which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close; and
(c)If using DTC Settlement, Financial Intermediary will coordinate for payment in connection with their electronically placed orders.
(d)All subscriptions and orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by and shall become effective upon confirmation by the Company, which reserves the right to reject any subscription or order in its sole discretion for any or no reason. Thus, for orders settled using DTC Settlement, Financial Intermediary acknowledges that once an order has become effective upon confirmation by the Company, Financial Intermediary may not modify the order after 5:00 PM EST on the date the order is confirmed by the Company. After 5:00 PM EST on the date the order is confirmed by the Company, the order will be considered a firm order and Financial Intermediary is expected to settle the trade as follows: (i) if Financial Intermediary has receive payment in full from an investor for the investor’s purchase of Preferred Stock on or before 5:00 PM EST on the settlement date, such sale of Preferred Stock for which the Company has received the consideration applicable thereto as described herein, in the Dealer Manager Agreement and in the Prospectus, and for which no written notice of failure has been given, will be final, not subject to rescission or reversal; (ii) if Financial Intermediary has not received payment in full from the applicable investor on or before the second business day after the settlement date applicable to purchased shares of Preferred Stock, such investor’s order, upon written notice to the Dealer Manager, shall be canceled, treated as a failed trade and any exchange of funds and securities as between the Company and Financial Intermediary in anticipation of settling the purchase in the ordinary course shall be reversed and rescinded; and (iii) after 5:00 PM EST on the second business date after the settlement date, a sale of Preferred Stock for which the Company has received the consideration applicable thereto as described herein, in the Dealer Manager Agreement and in the Prospectus, and for which no written notice of failure has been given, will be final, not subject to rescission or reversal, and Financial Intermediary’s receipt of payment from applicable investors shall be at the sole risk of Financial Intermediary. Subscriptions and orders not accompanied by the required instrument of payment for Preferred Stock may be rejected. Issuance and delivery of a share of Preferred Stock will be made only after a sale of a share of Preferred Stock is deemed by the Company to be completed in accordance with Section 3(d) of the Dealer Manager Agreement. If a subscription or order is rejected, cancelled or rescinded for any reason, then Financial Intermediary will return to the Dealer Manager any selling commissions or Dealer Manager Fees theretofore paid with respect to such order, and, if Financial Intermediary fails to so return any such selling commissions or Dealer Manager Fees, the Dealer Manager shall have the right to offset amounts owned against future commissions or Dealer Manager Fees due and otherwise payable to Financial Intermediary (it being understood and agreed that such right to offset shall not be in limitation of any other rights or remedies that the Dealer Manager may have in connection with such failure).
(e)Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5, the Dealer Manager and/or the Company have the sole right to determine and change without notice to Soliciting Dealer: (i) the number and timing of closings, including the ability to change the number and timing of closings after communicating the anticipated closing to Soliciting Dealer; (ii) to limit the total amount of Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series M1 Preferred Stock, Series M2 Preferred Stock, Series A3 Preferred

6.Soliciting Dealer Compensation.
(a)Selling Commissions. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in Schedule II, and in the Dealer Manager Agreement and, subject to the special circumstances and discounts described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager shall pay to Soliciting Dealer a selling commission of up to and including 7% of the Stated Value per share of Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series A3 Preferred Stock sold by it and accepted and confirmed by the Company. To the extent the selling commission is below 7%, the public offering price per share of Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series A3 Preferred Stock shall be decreased in accordance with the schedule included in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus.
Selling commissions on shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series A3 Preferred Stock will be waived for customers of Financial Intermediary with fee-based or “wrap” accounts. Additionally, no selling commissions will be paid for sales of Series M1 Preferred Stock, Series M2 Preferred Stock or Series M3 Preferred Stock.
For purposes of this Section 6(a), shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series A3 Preferred Stock are “sold” for DTC Settlement only when electronically submitted orders are confirmed by the Dealer Manager.
Soliciting Dealer may choose to offer and sell Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series M1 Preferred Stock, Series M2 Preferred Stock, Series A3 Preferred Stock or Series M3 Preferred Stock, or any combination of the Preferred Stock and will indicate their selections by completing Schedule II to this Agreement.
(b)Authority to Issue Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that no commission shall be payable with respect to particular shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series A3 Preferred Stock if the Dealer Manager or the Company rejects a proposed subscriber’s Subscription Agreement. Accordingly, Soliciting Dealer shall have no authority to issue a confirmation (pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10b-10) to any subscriber.
(c)Reallowance of Dealer Manager Fee. The Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, re-allow all or a portion of the Dealer Manager Fee received by it to Soliciting Dealer as a marketing fee. Subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, the Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, request the Company to reimburse, to Soliciting Dealer for reasonable accountable bona fide due diligence expenses, provided such expenses have actually been incurred, are supported by detailed and itemized invoices provided to the Company and the Dealer Manager, and the Company or the Dealer Manager had theretofore given its prior written approval of incurrence of such expenses.
A-9



(d)Marketing Expenses. Certain marketing expenses such as Soliciting Dealer conferences may be advanced to Soliciting Dealer and later deducted from the portion of the Dealer Manager Fee re-allowed to that Soliciting Dealer. Soliciting Dealer will repay any such advance to the extent not expended on marketing expenses. Any such advance shall be deducted from the maximum amount of the Dealer Manager Fee that may otherwise be re-allowable to Soliciting Dealer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Soliciting Dealer will not be entitled to receive any Dealer Manager Fee which would cause the aggregate amount of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other forms of underwriting compensation (as defined in accordance with FINRA Rule 2310(b)(4)(B)(ii)) received by the Dealer Manager and all Soliciting Dealers to exceed 10.0% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of the Preferred Stock in the Offering (“FINRA’s 10% Cap”).
(e)Limitations on Dealer Manager’s Liability for Commissions. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Soliciting Dealer for the payment of any selling commissions or any reallowance of fees to Soliciting Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for the payment of selling commissions or any reallowance to Soliciting Dealer. Soliciting Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payments of commissions, or any other fees or reallowance payable to Soliciting Dealer, if any, until the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the selling commissions or other fees or reallowance. Soliciting Dealer acknowledges and agrees that the Dealer Manager’s liability for commissions or other fees or reallowances payable to Soliciting Dealer is limited solely to commissions received and the portion of the Dealer Manager fee which represents the Marketing Fee received by the Dealer Manager from the Company in connection with Soliciting Dealer’s sale of Preferred Stock.
7.No SIA Compensation. The Dealer Manager shall pay no commissions to the SIA.
8.Reserved Preferred Stock. The number of Preferred Stock, if any, to be reserved for sale by each Soliciting Dealer may be decided by the mutual agreement, from time to time, of the Dealer Manager and the Company. The Dealer Manager reserves the right to notify Soliciting Dealer by United States mail or by other means of the number of shares of Preferred Stock reserved for sale by Soliciting Dealer, if any. Such Preferred Stock will be reserved for sale by Soliciting Dealer until the time specified in the Dealer Manager’s notification to Soliciting Dealer. Sales of any reserved shares of Preferred Stock after the time specified in the notification to Soliciting Dealer or any requests for additional shares of Preferred Stock will be subject to rejection in whole or in part.
9.Dealer Manager’s Authority. Subject to the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Dealer Manager shall have full authority to take such action as it may deem advisable with respect to all matters pertaining to the Offering or arising thereunder. The Dealer Manager shall not be under any liability to Financial Intermediary, except (i) for its own lack of good faith and (ii) for obligations expressly assumed by the Dealer Manager hereunder.

A-10

(b)Financial Intermediary’s Hold Harmless Obligation. In furtherance of, and not in limitation of the foregoing, Financial Intermediary will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Dealer Manager and the Company, and their officers, directors, employees, members, partners, affiliates, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls such entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each person who has signed the Registration Statement (“Indemnified Parties”), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the Indemnified Parties may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:
(i)any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, any Approved Sales Literature, or any other sales literature used by Financial Intermediary;
(ii)the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, any Approved Sales Literature or any other sales literature used by Financial Intermediary necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that in each case described in clauses (i) and (ii) with respect to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any Approved Sales Materials to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by Financial Intermediary specifically for use with reference to Financial Intermediary in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendments thereof or the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any Approved Sales Literature;
(iii)any use of sales literature not authorized or approved by the Company, any use of any sales literature marked “broker-dealer use only,” “institutional” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Preferred Stock to members of the public with members of the public, or any use of sales literature in a particular jurisdiction if such literature bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Preferred Stock to members of the public in such jurisdiction;
(iv)any untrue statement made by Financial Intermediary or Financial Intermediary’s representatives or agents or omission by Financial
A-11



Intermediary or Financial Intermediary’s representatives or agents to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of Preferred Stock in each case, other than statements or omissions made in conformity with the Registration Statement, Prospectus, Approved Sales Literature or any other materials or information furnished by or on behalf of the Company;
(v)any failure by Financial Intermediary to comply with applicable laws governing money laundry abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts in connection with the Offering, including applicable FINRA Rules, Exchange Act Rules and Regulations and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”); or
(vi)any other failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Financial Intermediary will reimburse the aforesaid parties for any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Financial Intermediary may otherwise have.
(c)Notice of Claim. Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 10, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of, and unconditional release of all liabilities from, the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d)Reimbursement. An indemnifying party under Section 10 of this Agreement shall be obligated to reimburse an indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses as follows: the indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party,
A-12



then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm (in addition to local counsel) that has been participating by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
11.Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 10 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims or damages referred to therein, the contributions provisions set forth in Section 8 of the Dealer Manager Agreement shall be applicable.
12.Company as Party to Agreement. The Company shall be a third party beneficiary of Financial Intermediary’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in Sections 10 and 11. No provision of Section 10 or Section 11 may be amended or waived without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company shall have all enforcement rights in law and in equity with respect to those portions of this Agreement as to which it is third party beneficiary.
13.Privacy Laws; Compliance.

(iii)determine which customers have opted out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving an aggregated list of such customers (the “List”) as provided by each to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. If either party uses or discloses nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than servicing the customer, or as otherwise required by applicable law, that party will consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. Each party understands that it is prohibited from using or disclosing any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures.
14.Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs. Financial Intermediary represents to the Dealer Manager and to the Company that it has established and implemented an anti-money laundering compliance program (“AML Program”) in accordance with Section 352 of the PATRIOT Act and FINRA Rule 3310, that complies with applicable anti-

16.Non-Solicitation. Subject to this Section 16, the Dealer Manager agrees that it will not (and the Dealer Manager will use reasonable good faith efforts to ensure that its employees and representatives do not) solicit business from any of Financial Intermediary’s contacts or customers or knowingly recruit any of Financial Intermediary’s independent registered representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dealer Manager may solicit Financial Intermediary’s contacts, customers or independent registered representatives but only to the extent that the Dealer Manager can demonstrate a relationship with such contacts, customers or independent registered representatives that was not derived through the efforts of Financial Intermediary’s representatives who are engaged in selling efforts directly in connection with the Offering. This Section 16 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
17.Miscellaneous.
(a)Ratification of Dealer Manager Agreement. Financial Intermediary hereby authorizes and ratifies the execution and delivery of the Dealer Manager Agreement by the Dealer Manager as Dealer Manager for itself and on behalf of all Financial Intermediaries (including Financial Intermediary party hereto) and authorizes the Dealer Manager to agree to any variation of its terms or provisions and to execute and deliver any amendment, modification or supplement thereto.

THIS SELECTED INVESTMENT ADVISOR AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the date first written above (this “Agreement”), between Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”), and ____________, a ___________ (the “SIA”).
WHEREAS, the Dealer Manager entered into an amended and restated dealer manager agreement, dated as of February 25, 2021, as amended from time to time, with Prospect Capital Corporation (the “Company”), a Maryland Corporation (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), under which the Dealer Manager agreed to act as the agent, principal distributor and exclusive dealer manager for an offering by the Company of up to 60,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of preferred stock, with a $1,500,000,000 aggregate liquidation preference (the “Preferred Stock”).

Each share of Preferred Stock will be sold at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. The minimum investment amount is $5,000, but purchases of less than $5,000 may be permitted by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion. The Offering will commence on the initial Effective Date (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the SIA (i) is an entity organized and presently in good standing in the state of its organization, (ii) is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”) or if not registered under the Investment Advisers Act, then it is registered under the state securities acts in the states where it does business as an investment advisor, and (iii) has made such regulatory filings and obtained such regulatory approvals in each state in which the SIA is required to make such filings or obtain such approvals;

WHEREAS, the SIA is willing and desires to provide its clients with information concerning the Preferred Stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, it is agreed between the Dealer Manager and the SIA as follows.
1.Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Rules and Regulation”), as applied pursuant to the Small Business Credit Availability Act (“SBCAA”) or otherwise, on Form N-2 covering the registration of the Company’s securities under the Securities Act, and the offer and sale thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulation. Such registration statement became effective immediately upon its filing with the Commission. Prior to the expiration of any currently effective registration statement covering the registration of the Company’s securities under the Securities Act, and the offer and sale thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulation, the Company will prepare and file a new automatic shelf registration statement on Form N-2 covering the continued registration of the Company’s securities under the Securities Act, and the offer and sale thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulation.
Except where the context otherwise requires, each such registration statement, as amended, including all documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any Rule 430B information contained in a prospectus related to the Offering subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497, Rule 424 or such other Securities Act Rules and Regulations as may be applicable to the Company and deemed to be part of such registration statement and also including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, is herein called the “Registration Statement.”
“Prospectus” means the base prospectus relating to various securities of the Company that is included in the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement (including a pricing supplement, if applicable) relating to the Offering, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 or Rule 424, as applicable, including, in each case, any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the SBCAA or the rules of the Commission promulgated thereunder or otherwise.
“Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statement, as amended, as of the time of the first contract of sale of Preferred Stock of a particular series, which time shall be considered the new effective date of such registration statement, as amended, with respect to such series of Preferred Stock (within the meaning of Rule 430B(f)(2)). For purposes of this definition, information contained in a form of prospectus, prospectus supplement or pricing supplement that is retroactively deemed to be a part of such registration statement, as amended, pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C shall be considered to be included in such registration statement, as amended, as of the time specified in Rule 430B or Rule 430C, as the case may be.
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed under the SBCAA to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, as of any
B-2



specified date; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including those made pursuant to Rule 497, Rule 424 or such other Securities Act Rules and Regulations as may be applicable to the Company, shall be deemed to mean and include, without limitation, the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed under the SBCAA or the rules of the Commission promulgated thereunder or otherwise to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, as of any specified date.
As used herein, the term “Effective Date” shall refer to the effective date of each Prospectus relating to the Offering, unless the context otherwise requires.
2.Purchase of Preferred Stock.
(a)The SIA hereby covenants, warrants and agrees that, in regard to any purchase of the Preferred Stock by its clients, it will comply with all the terms and conditions of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, all applicable state and federal laws, including the Securities Act, the Investment Advisers Act and any and all regulations and rules pertaining thereto. Neither the SIA nor any other person shall have any authority to give any information or make any representations or warranties in connection with the Preferred Stock other than the information contained in the Registration Statement and Prospectus.
(b)Clients of the SIA, or the SIA on behalf of its clients where the SIA has been granted discretionary trading authority, may purchase the Preferred Stock according to all the terms and conditions as are contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The SIA shall comply with all requirements set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and shall use and distribute, in connection with the purchase of Preferred Stock by its clients, only the Prospectus and such sales literature supplied to the SIA by the Dealer Manager with the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager reserves the right to establish such additional procedures as it may deem necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and applicable laws, and the SIA shall comply with all such additional procedures to the extent that it has received written notice thereof.
(c)If using DRS Settlement:

(ii)Payments for Preferred Stock shall be made by wire transfer to the Escrow Agent (as defined below) or checks payable to “UMB Bank, N.A., Escrow Agent for Prospect Capital Corporation”. Financial Intermediary shall

forward original checks for the purchase of Preferred Stock together with an original Subscription Agreement, completed, executed and initialed where indicated by the subscriber as provided for in the Subscription Agreement, to UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) at the address provided in the Subscription Agreement.

(f)For Preferred Stock sold using DRS Settlement, the SIA has or will obtain the consent of each client who subscribes for Preferred Stock to access such client’s investor account at the Company’s transfer agent and view the account information contained in such client’s investor account at the Company’s transfer agent.
(g)The SIA shall have no obligation under this Agreement to advise its clients to purchase any of the Preferred Stock.
(h)For Preferred Stock sold using DRS Settlement, the SIA shall retain in its files all subscription agreements for a period of time not less than required in order to comply with applicable federal and other regulatory requirements.
(i)The SIA hereby confirms that it is familiar with Securities Act Release No. 4968 and Rule 15c2-8 under the Exchange Act relating to the distribution of preliminary and final prospectuses, and confirms that it has complied and will comply therewith.
(j)For shares of Preferred Stock sold using DRS Settlement, a sale of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be completed only after the Company receives a properly completed subscription agreement from the SIA (together with payment of the full purchase price of each purchased share of Preferred Stock) on behalf of the 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.
(k)Clients of the SIA will purchase the Series M Preferred Stock at the public offering price of $25.00 per share.
(l)Clients of the SIA will not be charged any selling commissions in connection with their purchases of Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series A3 Preferred Stock and will purchase the Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series A3 Preferred Stock, respectively, at a per Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series A3 Preferred Stock purchase price of $23.25.

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.
