NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Amendment, intending to be legally bound, hereby amend the Equity Distribution Agreement and agree as follows:
1.Amendment of Preamble. The first sentence of the first paragraph of the preamble to the Equity Distribution Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the following:
OFS Credit Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), OFS Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”), and OFS Capital Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Administrator” and, together with the Company and the Advisor, the “OFS Entities”), confirm their respective agreements (this “Agreement”) with and the appointment of Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. and Lucid Capital Markets LLC to act as placement agents (each a “Placement Agent” and collectively, the “Placement Agents”) in connection with the proposed issuance and sale of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Shares”) from









time to time during the term of this Agreement having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”).
2.Amendment of Section 1. Section 1 of the Equity Distribution Agreement is amended and restated as follows:
SECTION 1. Placements.
Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify a Placement Agent (the “Designated Agent”) by e-mail (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Shares to be sold, which shall at a minimum include the number of Shares to be issued and sold (the “Placement Securities”), the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales shall not be made (which minimum price shall not be less than the Company’s then current net asset value per share) (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Exhibit B (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be directed to one of the individuals from the Designated Agent set forth on Exhibit B, as such Exhibit B may be amended from time to time (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Designated Agent listed on such schedule).
If the Designated Agent wishes to accept such proposed terms included in the Placement Notice (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussion with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, the Designated Agent will, prior to 4:30 p.m. (New York City Time) on the Trading Day following the Trading Day on which such Placement Notice is delivered to the Designated Agent, issue to the Company a notice by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) addressed to all of the individuals from the Company and the Designated Agent set forth on Exhibit B) setting forth the terms that the Designated Agent is willing to accept. Where the terms provided in the Placement Notice are amended as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, such terms will not be binding on the Company or the Designated Agent until the Company delivers to the Designated Agent an acceptance by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) of all of the terms of such Placement Notice, as amended (the “Acceptance”), which email shall be addressed to all of the individuals from the Company and the Designated Agent set forth on Exhibit B. The Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of the Designated Agent’s acceptance of the terms of the Placement Notice or upon receipt by the Designated Agent of the Company’s Acceptance, as the case may be, unless and until (i) the entire amount of the Placement Securities has been sold, (ii) the term period during which sales are requested to be made, if any, specified in the Placement Notice has expired, (iii) the Company or the Designated Agent terminates the Placement Notice in accordance with Section 2 below, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice to the Designated Agent with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, (v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 10 or (vi) the Company or the Designated Agent party shall have suspended the sale of the Placement Securities in accordance with Section 3 below. The amount of any commission, discount or other compensation to be paid by the Company to the Designated Agent in connection with the sale of the Placement Securities shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit C. It
2


is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor any Designated Agent will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Securities unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to such Designated Agent and either (i) the Designated Agent accepts the terms of such Placement Notice or (ii) where the terms of such Placement Notice are amended, the Company accepts such amended terms by means of an Acceptance pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified in the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the terms of the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) will control. For the purposes hereof, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which The Nasdaq Capital Market is closed or on which commercial banks located in New York City are required or authorized by law to close.
3.Amendment of Section 2. Section 2 of the Equity Distribution Agreement is amended by replacing all references to the term “Placement Agent” with the term “Designated Agent.”
4.Amendment of Section 3. Section 3 of the Equity Distribution Agreement is amended and restated as follows:
SECTION 3. Suspension of Sales.
The Company or the Designated Agent with respect to a Placement may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Exhibit B, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Exhibit B), suspend or terminate any sale of the applicable Placement Securities; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Securities sold hereunder in connection with such Placement prior to the receipt of such notice. Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 3 shall be effective against the other unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Exhibit B hereto, as such Exhibit may be amended from time to time.
5.Amendment of Section 7. Section 7(a)-(d) of the Equity Distribution Agreement is amended by replacing all references to the term “Placement Agent” with the term “Designated Agent.” Section 7 is further amended by adding the following Section 7(f) thereto:
(f) The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy, or any sales of Placement Securities of the Company shall only be effected by or through only a single Designated Agent on any single given date, and in no event shall the Company request that more than one Placement Agent sell Securities on the same day; provided however that (i) the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (A) exercise of any option, warrant, right or any conversion privilege set forth in the instruction governing such securities and (B) sales solely to employees, directors or security holders of the Company or its subsidiaries, or to a trustee or other person acquiring such securities for the accounts of such person and (ii) such limitation shall not apply (x) on any day during which no sales are made pursuant to this Agreement or (y) during a period in which the Company has notified the Placement Agents that it will not sell Common
