Ladies and Gentlemen:

BDCA Senior Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Investment Company Act”). The Company has registered for public sale (the “Offering”) a maximum of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), to be sold to the public on a “best efforts” continuous basis, for an initial purchase price of $10.00 per Share (subject in certain circumstances to discounts based upon the volume of Shares purchased), all upon the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Company has reserved the right to (i) change the price per Share in the Offering in order to ensure that the Shares are not sold at a price, which after deduction of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, is below the Company’s NAV as described in the Prospectus.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (File No. 333-______) on Form N-2 for the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Rules and Regulations”), and may prepare and file one or more amendments to such registration statement.

The Company is managed by BDCA Adviser, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”), pursuant to the Investment Advisory and Management Services Agreement dated [__], 2014 between the Company and the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”) included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (as defined below).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Exclusive Dealer Manager Agreement (this “Agreement”), the Company hereby appoints Realty Capital Securities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”), to act as the exclusive dealer manager for the Offering, and the Dealer Manager desires to accept such engagement.

As used in this Agreement, the registration statement on Form N-2 and the prospectus contained therein, as finally amended at the date the registration statement is declared effective by the Commission are respectively hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus,” except that (i) if the Company files a post-effective amendment to such registration statement, then the term “Registration Statement” shall, from and after the declaration of the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment by the Commission, refer to such registration statement as amended by such post-effective amendment, and the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the amended prospectus then on file with the Commission, and (ii) if the Company files a prospectus or prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 497 of

the Securities Act Rules and Regulations which differs from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto, if any, shall have become effective, then the term “Prospectus” shall refer to such prospectus or include such prospectus supplement, as applicable, filed pursuant to Rule 497 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, as the case may be, from and after the date on which it shall have been filed. The term “preliminary Prospectus” as used herein shall mean a preliminary prospectus related to the Shares as contemplated by Rule 430 or Rule 430A of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations included at any time as part of the Registration Statement. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Registration Statement,” “preliminary Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Instruction F of Form N-2, including any portion of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. As used herein, the term “Effective Date” also shall refer to the effective date of each post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, unless the context otherwise requires.

(e)

Disclosure. The information under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus insofar as it relates to the Dealer Manager, and all other information furnished to the Company by the Dealer Manager in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Offering and Sale of the Shares. The Company hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as its agent and exclusive distributor to solicit and to retain the Selected Dealers (as defined below in Section 3(a)) to solicit subscriptions for the Shares at the subscription price to be paid in cash. The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and exclusive distributorship and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to sell or cause to be sold the Shares in such quantities and to such Persons in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Prospectus and the Registration Statement. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 10, the Dealer Manager shall use such reasonable best efforts during the Offering Period.

As used in this Agreement, “Offering Period” means the period commencing on the initial Effective Date and ending on the earliest to occur of the following: (1) the acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for 300,000,000 Shares; (2) the termination of the Offering by the Company, which the Company shall have the right to terminate in its sole and absolute discretion at any time, provided that if the Company commences a public offering pursuant to the Registration Statement or another registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act within nine months from the date of the termination of the Offering, the Dealer Manager’s exclusive retention pursuant to this Agreement (and the Offering Period) shall be reinstated; (3) the termination or expiration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, provided that if the Company commences a public offering pursuant to the Registration Statement or another registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act within nine months from the date of the termination or expiration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Dealer Manager’s exclusive retention pursuant to this Agreement and the Offering Period shall be reinstated; and (4) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

The number of Shares, if any, to be reserved for sale by each Selected Dealer may be determined, from time to time, by the Dealer Manager upon prior consultation with the Company. In the absence of such determination, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b), accept Subscription Agreements (as defined below) based upon a first-come, first accepted reservation or other similar method. Under no circumstances will the Dealer Manager be obligated to underwrite or purchase any Shares for its own account and, in soliciting purchases of Shares, the Dealer Manager shall act solely as the Company’s agent and not as an underwriter or principal.

(a)

Selected Dealers. The Shares offered and sold through the Dealer Manager under this Agreement shall be offered and sold only by the Dealer Manager and other securities dealers the Dealer Manager may retain (collectively, the “Selected Dealers”); provided, however, that (i) the Dealer Manager reasonably believes that each of the Selected Dealers is registered as a broker-dealer pursuant to the provisions of the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations, a member in good standing of FINRA and is duly licensed or registered by the regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which they will offer and sell Shares or exempt from broker-dealer registration with the Commission and all other applicable regulatory authorities, (ii) all such engagements are evidenced by written agreements, the terms and conditions of which substantially conform to the form of Selected Dealer Agreement approved by the Company and the Dealer Manager (the “Selected Dealer Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (iii) the Company shall have previously approved each Selected Dealer (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b)

Subscription Documents. Each Person desiring to purchase Shares through the Dealer Manager, or any other Selected Dealer, will be required to complete and execute the subscription agreement included as Appendix A in the Prospectus (the “Subscription Agreement”).

Until the Minimum Offering has been sold, payments for Shares shall be made by checks payable to “XXXXX FARGO, ESCROW AGENT FOR BDCA SENIOR CAPITAL, INC.” During such time, the Selected Dealer shall forward original checks together with an original Subscription Agreement, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Subscription Agreement, to the Escrow Agent at the address provided in the Subscription Agreement.

ii.

Once the Minimum Offering has been deposited in the Escrow Account, upon determination by the Company that it intends to break escrow, the Company shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) all subscription funds to a designated deposit account in the name of the Company (the “Deposit Account”) at a bank which shall be subject to the reasonable prior approval of the Dealer Manager and subject to any higher or continuing escrow obligations imposed by certain states as described in the Prospectus. At this time, after the Minimum Offering has been satisfied, payments for Shares shall be made to “BDCA SENIOR CAPITAL, INC.”

(c)

Deposit Account. Once subscription funds from Persons in the Escrow Account aggregate $2,000,000 in respect of Shares of the Company (the “Escrow Break Date”), subject to any continuing escrow obligations imposed by certain states as described in the Prospectus, the Company will deposit all subsequent subscription funds in the Deposit Account.

(d)

Internal Review. When a Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Subscription Agreement and check were initially received by the Selected Dealer from the subscriber, the Selected Dealer shall transmit the Subscription Agreement and check to the Escrow Agent by noon of the next business day following receipt of the check and Subscription Agreement. When, pursuant to the Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, the Selected Dealer’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), the Selected Dealer shall transmit the check and Subscription Agreement to the Final Review Office by noon of the next business day following the Selected Dealer’s receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check. The Final Review Office will, by noon of the next business day following its receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check, forward both the Subscription Agreement and check to the Escrow Agent. If any Subscription Agreement solicited by the Selected Dealer is rejected by the Dealer Manager or the Company, then the Subscription Agreement and check will be returned to the rejected subscriber within 10 business days from the date of rejection.

(e)

Completed Sale. A sale of a Share shall be deemed by the Company to be completed if and only if (i) the Company has received a properly completed and executed Subscription Agreement, together with payment of the full purchase price of each purchased Share, from an investor who satisfies the applicable suitability standards and minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration Statement as determined by the Selected Dealer, or the Dealer Manager, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the Company has accepted such subscription, and (iii) such investor has been admitted as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, no sale of Shares shall be completed until at least five business days after the date on which the subscriber receives a copy of the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever or no reason, and no commission or dealer manager fee will be paid to the Dealer Manager with respect to that portion of any subscription which is rejected.

(f)

Dealer Manager Compensation.

Subject to the volume discounts and other special circumstances described in or otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus or this

Section 3(f), the Company agrees to pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions in the amount of 7% of the gross proceeds of shares sold in the Offering. Alternatively, if the Selected Dealer elects to receive selling commissions equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of shares sold in the Offering in accordance with the Selected Dealer Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions in the amount of 7.5% of the gross proceeds of shares sold in the Offering, of which 2.5% shall be payable at the time of such sale and 1% shall be paid on each anniversary of the closing of such sale up to and including the fifth anniversary of the closing of such sale. The Company will pay reduced selling commissions or may eliminate commissions on certain sales of Shares, in accordance with, and on the terms set forth in, the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager will reallow all the selling commissions, subject to federal and state securities laws, to the Selected Dealer who sold the Shares, as described more fully in the Selected Dealer Agreement. In no event shall the Dealer Manager be entitled to payment of any compensation in the event that the Minimum Offering is not completed according to this Agreement; provided, however, that the reimbursement of out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred by the Dealer Manager or persons associated with the Dealer Manager shall not be presumed to be unfair or unreasonable and shall be payable under normal circumstances.

ii.

Subject to the special circumstances described in or otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus or this Section 3(f), as compensation for acting as the dealer manager, the Company will pay the Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee in the amount of 3% of the gross proceeds of shares sold in the Offering (the “Dealer Manager Fee”). The Dealer Manager may retain or re-allow up to 1.5% of the Dealer Manager Fee, subject to federal and state securities laws, to the Selected Dealer who sold the Shares, as described more fully in the Selected Dealer Agreement.

iii.

All selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees payable to the Dealer Manager with respect to an investor subscribing for the Shares will be paid as dictated by industry practice after the investor is admitted as a stockholder of the Company.

iv.

In no event shall the total aggregate underwriting compensation payable from whatever source to the Dealer Manager and any Selected Dealers participating in the Offering, including, but not limited to, selling commissions and the Dealer Manager Fee, exceed 10% of gross offering proceeds in the aggregate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company pays any selling commission to the Dealer Manager for sale by a Selected Dealer of one or more Shares and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more of the Shares covered by such Subscription Agreement, then the Company shall decrease the next payment of selling commissions or other compensation otherwise payable to the Dealer Manager by the Company under this Agreement by an amount equal to the commission rate established in this Section 3(f), multiplied by the number of Shares as to which the subscription was rescinded. If no payment of selling commissions or other compensation is due to the Dealer Manager after such withdrawal occurs, then the Dealer Manager shall pay the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within a reasonable

period of time not to exceed 30 days following receipt of notice by the Dealer Manager from the Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions.

(g)

Reasonable Bona Fide Due Diligence Expenses. The Company or the Adviser shall reimburse the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer. The Company shall only reimburse the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer for such approved bona fide due diligence expenses to the extent such expenses have actually been incurred and are supported by detailed and itemized invoice(s) provided to the Company.

(h)

Certain Advances to Dealer Manager. The parties hereto acknowledge that prior to the initial Effective Date, the Company may have paid to the Dealer Manager advances of monies against out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by the Dealer Manager in connection with the Offering (other than reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses). Such advances shall be credited against such portion of the Dealer Manager Fees payable pursuant to Section 3(f) that is retained by the Dealer Manager and not reallowed until the full amount of such advances is offset. Such advances are not intended to be in addition to the compensation set forth in Section 3(f) and any and all monies advanced that are not utilized for out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred by the Dealer Manager in connection with the Offering (other than reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses) shall be reimbursed by the Dealer Manager to the Company.

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.

The Dealer Manager will not offer the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction unless and until it has been advised that the Shares are either registered in accordance with, or exempt from, the securities and other laws applicable thereto.

In addition, the Dealer Manager shall, in accordance with applicable law or as prescribed by any state securities administrator, provide, or require in the Selected Dealer

Agreement that the Selected Dealer shall provide, to any prospective investor copies of the Prospectus and any supplements thereto during the course of the Offering and prior to the sale. The Company may provide the Dealer Manager with certain Approved Sales Literature to be used by the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealers in connection with the solicitation of purchasers of the Shares. The Dealer Manager agrees not to deliver the Approved Sales Literature to any Person prior to the initial Effective Date. If the Dealer Manager elects to use such Approved Sales Literature after the initial Effective Date, then the Dealer Manager agrees that such material shall not be used by it in connection with the solicitation of purchasers of the Shares and that it will direct Selected Dealers not to make such use unless accompanied or preceded by the Prospectus, as then currently in effect, and as it may be amended or supplemented in the future. The Dealer Manager agrees that it will not use any Approved Sales Literature other than those provided to the Dealer Manager by the Company for use in the Offering.

(b)

No Additional Information. In offering the Shares for sale, the Dealer Manager shall not, and each Selected Dealer shall agree not to, give or provide any information or make any representation other than those contained in the Prospectus or the Approved Sales Literature. The Dealer Manager will not (i) show or give to any investor or prospective investor any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Company and marked “broker-dealer use only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public; and (ii) show or give to any investor or prospective investor in a particular jurisdiction any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Company if such material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public in such jurisdiction.

(c)

Sales of Shares. The Dealer Manager shall, and each Selected Dealer shall agree to, solicit purchases of the Shares only in the jurisdictions in which the Dealer Manager and such Selected Dealer are legally qualified to so act and in which the Dealer Manager and each Selected Dealer have been advised by the Company in writing that such solicitations can be made.

(d)

Subscription Agreement. The Dealer Manager will comply in all material respects with the subscription procedures set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus. Subscriptions will be submitted by the Dealer Manager and each Selected Dealer to the Company only on the form which is included as Appendix A to the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager understands and acknowledges, and the Selected Dealers each acknowledge, that the Subscription Agreement must be executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for by the Subscription Agreement.

(e)

Suitability. The Dealer Manager will offer Shares, and in its agreement with each Selected Dealer will require that the Selected Dealer offer Shares, only to Persons that it has reasonable grounds to believe meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Prospectus and will only make offers to Persons in the states in which it is advised in writing by the Company that the Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required. In offering Shares, the Dealer Manager will comply, and in its agreements with the Selected Dealers will require that the Selected Dealers comply, with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation the FINRA Conduct Rules and the provisions of Sections III.C. and III.E. of the Omnibus Guidelines of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc.

that in recommending the purchase of the Shares to an investor, the Dealer Manager and each Person associated with the Dealer Manager that makes such recommendation shall have, and each Selected Dealer in its Selected Dealer Agreement shall agree with respect to investors to which it makes a recommendation shall agree that it shall have, reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the investor concerning the investor’s investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and any other information known by the Dealer Manager, the Person associated with the Dealer Manager or the Selected Dealer that: (i) the investor is or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable the investor to realize to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus, including the tax benefits where they are a significant aspect of the Company; (ii) the investor has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in the program, including loss of investment and lack of liquidity; and (iii) an investment in the Shares offered in the Offering is otherwise suitable for the investor. The Dealer Manager agrees as to investors to whom it makes a recommendation with respect to the purchase of the Shares in the Offering (and each Selected Dealer in its Selected Dealer Agreement shall agree, with respect to Investors to whom it makes such recommendations) to maintain in the files of the Dealer Manager (or the Selected Dealer, as applicable) documents disclosing the basis upon which the determination of suitability was reached as to each investor. In making the determinations as to financial qualifications and as to suitability required by the NASAA Guidelines, the Dealer Manager and Selected Dealers may rely on (A) representations from investment advisers who are not affiliated with a Selected Dealer, banks acting as trustees or fiduciaries, and (B) information it has obtained from a prospective investor, including such information as the investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs of the Person or any other information known by the Dealer Manager (or Selected Dealer, as applicable), after due inquiry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dealer Manager shall not, and each Selected Dealer shall agree not to, execute any transaction in the Company in a discretionary account without prior written approval of the transaction by the customer.

(f)

Recordkeeping. The Dealer Manager shall, and each Selected Dealer shall agree to, maintain, for at least six years or for a period of time not less than that required in order to comply with all applicable federal, state and other regulatory requirements, whichever is later, a record of the information obtained to determine that an investor meets the suitability standards imposed on the offer and sale of the Shares (both at the time of the initial subscription and at the time of any additional subscriptions) and a representation of the investor that the investor is investing for the investor’s own account or, in lieu of such representation, information indicating that the investor for whose account the investment was made met the suitability standards. The Company agrees that the Dealer Manager can satisfy its obligation by contractually requiring such information to be maintained by the investment advisers or banks referred to in Section 6(e).

The Dealer Manager further represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act, and the Dealer Manager hereby covenants to remain in compliance with such requirements and shall, upon request by the Company, provide a certification to the Company that, as of the date of such certification (i) its AML Program is consistent with the AML Rules, and (ii) it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act.

The Dealer Manager will not be entitled to receive any additional fee in connection with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(k), but the Company will pay or reimburse the Dealer Manager for any out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Dealer Manager in connection therewith.

(l)

Customer Information. The Dealer Manager shall, and in its agreements with Selected Dealers shall require Selected Dealers to, agree to:

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.

Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party under this Section 8 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 8, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually 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.

ii.

In any case of indemnification other than that described in Section 8(f)(i) above, 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, 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 if 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.

Contribution.

(a)

If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall

contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, from the proceeds received in the Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Selected Dealer Agreement, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b)

The relative benefits received by the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, in connection with the proceeds received in the Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Selected Dealer Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Selected Dealer Agreement (before deducting expenses), received by the Company, and the total selling commissions and dealer manager fees received by the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares sold in the Offering as set forth on such cover.

(c)

The relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company, by the Dealer Manager or by the Selected Dealer, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(d)

The Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer (by virtue of entering into the Selected Dealer Agreement) agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions referred to above in this Section 9. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party and referred to above in this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(e)

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer shall not be required to contribute any amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold in the Offering to the public by them exceeds the amount of any damages which the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer have otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(f)

No party guilty of “fraudulent misrepresentation” (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(g)

For the purposes of this Section 9, the Dealer Manager’s officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives, and each Person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Dealer Manager, and each officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution from the Company. The Selected Dealers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the number of Shares sold by each Selected Dealer in the Offering and not joint.

BDCA SENIOR CAPITAL, INC.

FORM OF SELECTED DEALER AGREEMENT

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”) entered into an exclusive dealer manager agreement, dated as of [__], 2014 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), with BDCA Senior Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation that intends to elect to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Company”), pursuant to which the Dealer Manager agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit subscriptions in connection with the public offering (the “Offering”) of up to 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), on a continuous basis, for an initial purchase price of $10.00 per Share, commencing on the 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 “Selected Dealers”) who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) to solicit subscriptions for Shares in connection with the Offering. You are hereby invited to become a Selected Dealer and, as such, to use your reasonable best efforts to solicit subscribers for the Shares, in accordance with the following terms and conditions of this Selected Dealer Agreement (this “Agreement”):

1. Registration Statement.

(a) A registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-______), including a preliminary prospectus, has been prepared by the Company and was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on [__], 2014 in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Rules and Regulations”) for the registration of the Offering. The Company has prepared and filed such amendments thereto and such amended prospectuses as may have been required to the date hereof, and will file such additional amendments and supplements thereto as may hereafter be required. The registration statement on Form N-2 and the prospectus contained therein, as finally amended at the date the registration statement is declared effective by the Commission (the “Effective Date”), are respectively hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus”, except that (i) if the Company files a post-effective amendment to such registration statement, then the term “Registration Statement” shall, from and after the declaration of the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment by the Commission, refer to such registration statement as amended by such post-effective amendment, and the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the amended prospectus then on file with the Commission, and (ii) if the Company files a prospectus or prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 497 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations which differs from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto, if any, shall have become effective, then the term “Prospectus” shall refer to such prospectus or include such prospectus supplement, as applicable, filed pursuant to Rule 497 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, as the case may be, from and after the date on which it shall have been filed. The term “Preliminary Prospectus” as used in this Agreement shall mean a preliminary prospectus related to the Shares as contemplated by Rule 430 or Rule 430A of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations included at any time as part of the Registration Statement. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Registration Statement,” “Preliminary Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Instruction F of Form N-2, including any portion of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. As used in this Agreement, the term “Effective Date” also shall refer to the

effective date of each post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, unless the context otherwise requires.

2. Compliance with Applicable Rules and Regulations.

Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the undersigned dealer will become one of the “Selected Dealers” referred to in the Dealer Manager Agreement and is referred to herein as “Selected Dealer”. Selected Dealer agrees that solicitation and other activities by it hereunder shall comply with, and shall be undertaken only in accordance with, the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the terms of this Agreement, the Securities Act, the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act Rules and Regulations”), the Blue Sky Survey (as defined below), the FINRA Conduct Rules (including, without limitation, FINRA Rules 2310, 5130 and 5141 and NASD Rules 2340 and 2420), and the provisions of Article III.C. of the Omnibus Guidelines published by the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc., as revised and amended on May 7, 2007 and as may be further revised and amended (the “NASAA Guidelines”).

Selected Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to both the Company and to the Dealer Manager that Selected Dealer is a properly registered or licensed broker-dealer, duly authorized to sell Shares under federal and state securities laws and regulations in all states where it offers or sells Shares, and that it is a member in good standing of FINRA. Selected Dealer represents and warrants that it is currently licensed as a broker-dealer in the jurisdictions identified on Schedule 1 to this Agreement and that its independent contractors and registered representatives have the appropriate licenses to offer and sell the Shares in such jurisdictions. This Agreement shall automatically terminate with no further action by either party if Selected Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA or with the securities commission of any state in which Selected Dealer is currently registered or licensed. Selected Dealer agrees to notify the Dealer Manager immediately if Selected Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA or with the securities commission of any state in which Selected Dealer is currently registered or licensed.

3. Limitation of Offer and Investor Suitability.

(a) Selected Dealer will offer Shares only (i) to persons that meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company or the Dealer Manager, and (ii) in accordance with Section 8, to persons in the jurisdictions in which it is advised in writing by the Company or the Dealer Manager that the Shares are qualified for sale or that qualification is not required (the “Blue Sky Survey”). Notwithstanding the qualification of Shares for sale in any respective jurisdiction (or exemption therefrom), Selected Dealer will not offer Shares and will not permit any of its registered representatives to offer Shares in any jurisdiction unless both Selected Dealer and such registered representative are duly licensed to transact securities business in such jurisdiction. In offering Shares, Selected Dealer shall comply with the FINRA Conduct Rules, as well as those applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section III.C. of the NASAA Guidelines.

In offering the sale of Shares to any person, Selected Dealer will have reasonable grounds to believe (based on such information obtained from the investor concerning the investor’s age, investment objectives, other investments, financial situation, needs or any other information known by Selected Dealer after due inquiry) that: (A) such person is in a financial position appropriate to enable such person to realize to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus, including the tax benefits where they are a significant aspect of the Company; (B) the investor has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in the program, including loss of investment and lack of liquidity; (C) the purchase of the Shares is otherwise suitable for such person; (D) such person has either: (1) a minimum

annual gross income of $70,000 and a minimum net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $70,000; or (2) a minimum net worth (determined with the foregoing exclusions) of $250,000 and meets the higher suitability standards, if applicable, imposed by the state in which the investment by such investor is made. Selected Dealer further will use its best efforts to determine the suitability and appropriateness of an investment in the Shares of each proposed investor solicited by a person associated with Selected Dealer by reviewing documents and records disclosing the basis upon which the determination as to suitability was reached as to each proposed investor, whether such documents and records relate to accounts which have been closed, accounts which are currently maintained or accounts hereinafter established. In making the determinations as to financial qualifications and as to suitability required by the NASAA Guidelines, Selected Dealer may rely on (x) representations from investment advisers who are not affiliated with Selected Dealer, banks acting as trustees or fiduciaries, and (y) information it has obtained from a prospective investor, including such information as the investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs of the person or any other information known by Selected Dealer after due inquiry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Selected Dealer shall not execute any transaction in the Company in a discretionary account without prior written approval of the transaction by the customer.

(b) Selected Dealer shall maintain, for at least six years or for a period of time not less than that required in order to comply with all applicable federal, state and other regulatory requirements, whichever is later, a record of the information obtained to determine that an investor meets the suitability standards imposed on the offer and sale of the Shares (both at the time of the initial subscription and at the time of any additional subscriptions) and a representation of the investor that the investor is investing for the investor’s own account or, in lieu of such representation, information indicating that the investor for whose account the investment was made met the suitability standards. Selected Dealer may satisfy its obligation by contractually requiring such information to be maintained by the investment advisers or banks discussed above. Selected Dealer further agrees to comply with the record keeping requirements of the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 of the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations. Selected Dealer agrees to make such documents and records available to the Dealer Manager and the Company upon request, and representatives of the Commission, FINRA and applicable state securities administrators upon Selected Dealer’s receipt of an appropriate document subpoena or other appropriate request for documents from any such agency.

4. Delivery of Prospectus and Approved Sales Literature.

(a) Selected Dealer will: (i) deliver a Prospectus, as then supplemented or amended, to each person who subscribes for Shares at least five business days prior to the tender of such person’s subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”); (ii) promptly comply with the written request of any person for a copy of the Prospectus, as then supplemented or amended, during the period between the initial Effective Date and the termination of the Offering; (iii) deliver to any person, in accordance with applicable law or as prescribed by any state securities administrator, a copy of any prescribed document included within or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and any supplements thereto during the course of the Offering; (iv) not use any sales materials in connection with the solicitation of purchasers of the Shares except Approved Sales Literature; (v) to the extent the Company provides Approved Sales Literature, not use such materials unless accompanied or preceded by the Prospectus, as then currently in effect, and as may be supplemented in the future; and (vi) not give or provide any information or make any representation or warranty other than information or representations contained in the Prospectus or the Approved Sales Literature. Selected Dealer will not publish, circulate or otherwise use any other advertisement or solicitation material in connection with the Offering without the Dealer Manager’s express prior written approval.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to make Selected Dealer an employee, agent, representative or partner of the Dealer Manager or the Company, and Selected Dealer is not authorized to act for the Dealer Manager or the Company.

(c) Selected Dealer will not send or provide supplements to the Prospectus or any Approved Sales Literature to any investor unless it has previously sent or provided a Prospectus and all supplements thereto to that investor or has simultaneously sent or provided a Prospectus and all supplements thereto with such Prospectus supplement or Approved Sales Literature.

(d) Selected Dealer 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” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the offer or sale of Shares to members of the public.

(e) The Dealer Manager will supply Selected Dealer with reasonable quantities of the Prospectus (including any supplements thereto), as well as any Approved Sales Literature, for delivery to investors.

(f) Selected Dealer shall furnish a copy of any revised preliminary Prospectus to each person to whom it has furnished a copy of any previous preliminary Prospectus, and further agrees that it will mail or otherwise deliver all preliminary and final Prospectuses required for compliance with the provisions of Rule 15c2-8 of the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations.

5. Submission of Orders.

(a) Subject to certain individual state requirements as described in the Prospectus, Shares may be sold only to investors who initially purchase a minimum of 250 Shares for $2,500 or, unless prohibited by state law, a husband and wife may jointly contribute funds from their separate individual retirement accounts, or IRAs, provided that each such contribution is made in increments of $500. With respect to Selected Dealer’s participation in any resales or transfers of the Shares, Selected Dealer agrees to comply with any applicable requirements set forth in Section 2 and to fulfill the obligations pursuant to Rule 2310 of the FINRA Rules of Conduct.

(b) Until the minimum offering of $2,000,000 in Shares (the “Minimum Offering”) has been sold, payments for Shares shall be made by checks payable to “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., Agent for BDCA Senior Capital, Inc.” During such time, Selected Dealer shall forward original checks together with an original Subscription Agreement, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Subscription Agreement, to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) at the address provided in the Subscription Agreement. If the minimum amount has not been obtained prior to the termination date, the Escrow Agent shall, promptly following the termination date, but in no event more than 30 days after the termination date, refund to each investor by check funds deposited in the escrow account, or shall return the instruments of payment delivered to Escrow Agent if such instruments have not been processed for collection prior to such time, directly to each investor at the address provided in the list of investors.

When Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Subscription Agreement and check were initially received by Selected Dealer from the subscriber, Selected Dealer shall transmit the Subscription Agreement and check to the Escrow Agent by noon of the next business day following receipt of the check and Subscription Agreement. When, pursuant to Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, Selected Dealer’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), Selected Dealer shall transmit the check and Subscription Agreement to the Final Review Office by noon of the next business day following Selected Dealer’s receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check. The Final Review Office will, by

noon of the next business day following its receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check, forward both the Subscription Agreement and check to the Escrow Agent. If any Subscription Agreement solicited by Selected Dealer is rejected by the Dealer Manager or the Company, then the Subscription Agreement and check will be returned to the rejected subscriber within 10 business days from the date of rejection.

Once the Minimum Offering has been sold, subject to any continuing escrow obligations imposed by certain states as described in the Prospectus, payments for Shares shall be made payable to “BDCA Senior Capital, Inc.” At such time, Selected Dealer shall forward original checks together with an original Subscription Agreement, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Subscription Agreement, to BDCA Senior Capital, Inc., c/o DST Systems, Inc., at the address provided in the Subscription Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with the applicable Exchange Act Rules and Regulations, if Selected Dealer has net capital of $250,000 or more it may instruct its customers to make their checks payable to Selected Dealer. In such case, Selected Dealer shall issue a check made payable to the Escrow Agent or the Company in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b), as applicable.

(c) All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by, and shall become effective upon confirmation by, the Company or the Dealer Manager, each of which reserve the right to reject any order in their sole discretion for any or no reason. Orders not accompanied by the required instrument of payment for Shares may be rejected. Issuance and delivery of a Share will be made only after a sale of a Share is deemed by the Company to be completed in accordance with Section 3(e) of the Dealer Manager Agreement. If an order is rejected, cancelled or rescinded for any reason, then Selected Dealer will return to the Dealer Manager any selling commissions or Dealer Manager Fees theretofore paid with respect to such order, and, if Selected Dealer fails to so return any such selling commissions, the Dealer Manager shall have the right to offset amounts owned against future commissions or Dealer Manager Fees due and otherwise payable to Selected Dealer (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).

6. Selected Dealer Compensation.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Dealer Manager Agreement and, subject to the volume discounts and other special circumstances described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager shall pay to Selected Dealer a selling commission of up to 7% of the gross proceeds from the Shares sold by it and accepted and confirmed by the Company. The Dealer Manager shall receive a Dealer Manager Fee of 3% of gross Offering proceeds. Alternatively, a Selected Dealer may elect to receive a fee equal to 7.5% of gross proceeds from the sale of Shares by such Selected Dealer, with 2.5% thereof paid at the time of such sale and 1% thereof paid on each anniversary of the closing of such sale up to and including the fifth anniversary of the closing of such sale, in which event, a portion of the Dealer Manager fee will be reallowed such that the combined selling commission and Dealer Manager Fee do not exceed 10% of gross proceeds of the Offering. If Selected Dealer receives a 7.5% sales commission, then the Dealer Manager will receive a 2.5% Dealer Manager Fee. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Shares are “sold” only if an executed Subscription Agreement is accepted by the Company and the Company has thereafter distributed the commission to the Dealer Manager in connection with such transaction.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that no commission shall be payable with respect to particular Shares if the Dealer Manager or the Company rejects a proposed subscriber’s Subscription Agreement. Accordingly, Selected Dealer shall have no authority to issue a confirmation (pursuant to Rule 10b-10 of the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations) to any subscriber;

such authority residing solely in the Dealer Manager, as the Dealer Manager and processing broker-dealer.

(c) The Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, reallow a portion of the Dealer Manager Fee received by it to Selected Dealer. The Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, request that the Company reimburse Selected 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 Company had given its prior written approval of the incurrence of such expenses.

(d) Certain marketing expenses such as Selected Dealer conferences may be advanced to Selected Dealer and later deducted from the portion of the Dealer Manager Fee reallowed to such Selected Dealer. If the Offering is not consummated, Selected 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 reallowable to Selected Dealer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Selected Dealer will not be entitled to receive any Dealer Manager Fee reallowance which would cause the aggregate amount of selling commissions, Dealer Manager Fees and other forms of underwriting compensation (as defined in accordance with applicable FINRA rules) received by the Dealer Manager and all Selected Dealers to exceed 10% of the gross Offering proceeds.

(e) The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Selected Dealer for the payment of any selling commissions or any reallowance of Dealer Manager Fees to Selected Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for the payment of selling commissions or any reallowance of fees to Selected Dealer. Selected Dealer acknowledges and agrees that the Dealer Manager’s liability for commissions payable to Selected Dealer is limited solely to commissions received by the Dealer Manager from the Company in connection with Selected Dealer’s sale of Shares.

7. Reserved Shares. The number of Shares, if any, to be reserved for sale by each Selected 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 Selected Dealer by U.S. mail or by other means of the number of Shares reserved for sale by Selected Dealer, if any. Such Shares will be reserved for sale by Selected Dealer until the time specified in the Dealer Manager’s notification to Selected Dealer. Sales of any reserved Shares after the time specified in the notification to Selected Dealer or any requests for additional Shares will be subject to rejection in whole or in part.

8. Blue Sky Qualification.

(a) The Dealer Manager will inform Selected Dealer as to the jurisdictions in which the Dealer Manager has been advised by the Company that the Shares have been qualified for sale or are exempt under the respective securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions, but the Dealer Manager has not assumed and will not assume any obligation or responsibility as to Selected Dealer’s right to act as a broker or dealer with respect to the Shares in any such jurisdiction. Selected Dealer agrees that Selected Dealer will not make any offers or sell any Shares except in states in which the Dealer Manager may advise Selected Dealer that the Offering has been qualified or is exempt and in which Selected Dealer is legally qualified to make offers and further agrees to assure that each person to whom Selected Dealer sells Shares (at both the time of the initial purchase as well as at the time of any subsequent purchases) meets any special suitability standards which apply to sales in a particular jurisdiction, as described in the Blue Sky Survey and the Subscription Agreement. Neither the Dealer Manager nor the Company assume any obligation or responsibility in respect of the qualification of the Shares covered by the Prospectus under the laws of any jurisdiction or Selected Dealer’s qualification to act as a broker and/or dealer with respect to the Shares in any jurisdiction. The Blue Sky Survey which has been or will

be furnished to Selected Dealer indicates the jurisdictions in which it is believed that the offer and sale of Shares covered by the Prospectus is exempt from, or requires action under, the applicable blue sky or securities laws thereof, and what action, if any, has been taken with respect thereto.

(b) It is understood and agreed that under no circumstances will Selected Dealer, as a Selected Dealer, engage in any activities hereunder in any jurisdiction in which Selected Dealer may not lawfully so engage or in any activities in any jurisdiction with respect to the Shares in which Selected Dealer may lawfully so engage unless Selected Dealer have complied with the provisions hereof.

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 Selected Dealer (except for (a) its own lack of good faith and (b) for obligations expressly assumed by the Dealer Manager hereunder) for, or in respect of, the validity or value of or title to, the Shares; the form of, or the statements contained in, or the validity of, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any other instrument executed by the Company or by others; the form or validity of the Dealer Manager Agreement or this Agreement; the delivery of the Shares; the performance by the Company or by others of any agreement on its or their part; the qualification of the Shares for sale under the laws of any jurisdiction; or any matter in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to relieve the Company or the Dealer Manager from any liability imposed by the Securities Act. No obligations or liability on the part of the Company or the Dealer Manager shall be implied or inferred herefrom.

10. Indemnification.

(a) Under the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify Selected Dealer and the Dealer Manager and each person, if any, who controls Selected Dealer or the Dealer Manager, in certain instances and against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act in certain circumstances. Selected Dealer hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and each person who controls it as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement and to indemnify the Dealer Manager to the extent and in the manner that Selected Dealer agrees to indemnify the Company in the Dealer Manager Agreement.

(b) In furtherance of, and not in limitation of the foregoing, Selected Dealer 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, and each person who signed the Registration Statement, may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims and expenses (including the reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in investigating and defending any such claims or liabilities), damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any material breach of a covenant contained herein by Selected Dealer, or (ii) any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, or (B) in any Approved Sales Literature, or (C) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Shares for sale under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon written information furnished by the Company under the securities laws thereof, or (iii) the

omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof to make the statements therein not misleading or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus 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 (ii) and (iii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by Selected Dealer specifically for use with reference to Selected Dealer 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, (iv) any use of sales literature, including “broker dealer use only” materials, by Selected Dealer that is not Approved Sales Literature, (v) any untrue statement made by Selected Dealer or Selected Dealer’s representatives or agents or omission by Selected Dealer or Selected Dealer’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 the Shares 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, or (vi) any failure by Selected Dealer 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. Selected Dealer will reimburse the aforesaid parties for any reasonable 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 Selected Dealer may otherwise have.

(c) 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, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually 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) An indemnifying party under this Section 10 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, 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 if 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 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses 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 Selected Dealer’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in Sections 10, 11 and 16. 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.

Selected Dealer agrees to: (i) abide by and comply with (A) the privacy standards and requirements of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”), (B) the privacy standards and requirements of any other applicable federal or state law, and (C) Selected Dealer’s own internal privacy policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time to time; (ii) refrain from the use or disclosure of nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLB Act) of all customers, except as necessary to service the customers or as otherwise necessary or required by applicable law; and (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.

Selected Dealer represents to the Dealer Manager and to the Company that it has established and implemented anti-money laundering compliance programs in accordance with applicable law, including applicable FINRA Conduct Rules, rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (USA PATRIOT Act) of 2001, as amended (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), specifically including, but not limited to, Section 352 of the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (the “Money Laundering Abatement Act,” and together with the USA PATRIOT Act, the “AML Rules”) reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares. Selected Dealer further represents that it currently is in compliance with all AML Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act, and Selected Dealer hereby covenants to remain in compliance with such requirements and shall, upon request by the Dealer Manager or the Company, provide a certification to the Dealer Manager or the Company that, as of the date of such certification (a) its AML Program is consistent with the AML Rules, and (b) it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer

Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act. Upon request by the Dealer Manager at any time, Selected Dealer will (i) furnish a written copy of its AML Program to the Dealer Manager for review, and (ii) furnish a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with its most recent independent testing of its AML Program.

15. Customer Complaints.

Each party hereby agrees to provide to the other party copies of any written or otherwise documented customer complaints received by such party relating in any way to the Offering (including, but not limited to, the manner in which the subscriptions are offered by the Dealer Manager or Selected Dealer).

16. Confidentiality.

Dealer Manager, the Company or an affiliate or employee, agent or adviser (“Representatives”) of the Company (all such entities and persons, collectively, the “BDCA Senior Capital Entities”) may have provided and will furnish to Selected Dealer or its affiliate or Representatives with certain information that is either non-public, confidential or proprietary in nature in order to enable Selected Dealer to perform a diligence review. This information furnished to Selected Dealer or its affiliates or Representatives, including the terms and conditions of any agreements entered into between Selected Dealer or its affiliates and any BDCA Senior Capital Entity, together with analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents prepared by Selected Dealer or its affiliates or Representatives which contain or otherwise reflect such information is hereinafter referred to as the “Information.” The term “Information” shall not include such portions of the Information which (i) are or become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Selected Dealer or its affiliates or Representatives in violation of this Agreement, or (ii) become available to Selected Dealer on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a BDCA Senior Capital Entity that has a bona fide right to do so and which is not subject to any obligation to keep such information confidential. In consideration of the BDCA Senior Capital Entities furnishing Selected Dealer or its affiliates or Representatives with the Information, Selected Dealer agrees that:

(a) The Information will be kept confidential and shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, be disseminated or disclosed by Selected Dealer or its affiliates or Representatives, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and shall not be used by Selected Dealer or its affiliates or Representatives, other than in connection with performing the diligence review contemplated in this Agreement. Moreover, Selected Dealer agrees to reveal the Information only to such of its affiliates or Representatives who need to know the Information for the purpose of performing the diligence review contemplated in this Agreement, who are informed by Selected Dealer of the confidential nature of the Information and who agree to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 16.

(b) All copies of the Information will be returned to the Company or destroyed upon the Company’s request.

(c) In the event that Selected Dealer or any of its affiliates or Representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, depositions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other process) to disclose any of the Information, Selected Dealer will provide the Company with prompt written notice so that any of the BDCA Senior Capital Entities may seek a protective order, other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Company waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Selected Dealer shall disclose such Information without liability hereunder; provided, however, that Selected Dealer will furnish only that portion of the Information which, in the opinion of its counsel, Selected Dealer is compelled to disclose and will not

oppose any action by the Company to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information. Selected Dealer further agrees to exercise its reasonable efforts to otherwise preserve the confidentiality of the Information. Upon reasonable notice, Selected Dealer further agrees to cooperate with the BDCA Senior Capital Entities in obtaining a protective order or other appropriate remedy.

(d) In no event shall any of the BDCA Senior Capital Entities be liable for any losses, damages, claims or expenses incurred or actions undertaken by Selected Dealer or its affiliates or Representatives as a result of their receipt of the Information or their use thereof. Selected Dealer agrees that the Information is and shall remain the property of the Company and that none of the BDCA Senior Capital Entities has granted Selected Dealer or its affiliates or Representatives any license, copyright, or similar right with respect to any of the Information.

(e) Selected Dealer hereby acknowledges that Selected Dealer is aware, and that Selected Dealer will advise its affiliates or Representatives who have been provided with Information, that the U.S. securities laws prohibit any person who has received from an issuer material, non-public information from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities. Selected Dealer further acknowledges that some or all of the Information is or may be price-sensitive information and that the use of such Information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable legislation relating to insider dealing and Selected Dealer undertakes, on behalf of itself and its Representatives, not to use any Information for any unlawful purpose.

(f) The Company has the right to enforce this Section 16 as a third-party beneficiary.

17. Miscellaneous.

(a) Selected Dealer 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 Selected Dealers (including Selected Dealer 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. Selected Dealer hereby agrees to be bound by all provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement relating to Selected Dealers. Selected Dealer also authorizes the Dealer Manager to exercise, in the Dealer Manager’s discretion, all the authority or discretion now or hereafter vested in the Dealer Manager by the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement and to take all such actions as the Dealer Manager may believe desirable in order to carry out the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement and of this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement, except for the provisions of Sections 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 and this Section 17, may be terminated at any time by either party hereto by two days’ prior written notice to the other party and, in all events, this Agreement shall terminate on the termination date of the Dealer Manager Agreement, except for the provisions of Sections 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 and this Section 17.
