Exhibit 99.2
EXPENSE SUPPORT AND CONDITIONAL REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
This Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made this 13th day of March 2012, by and between FS INVESTMENT CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and FRANKLIN SQUARE HOLDINGS, L.P., a Pennsylvania limited partnership (“FSH”).
WHEREAS, the Company is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”);
WHEREAS, FB Income Advisor, LLC (“FBIA”) is the Company’s investment adviser and is a subsidiary of FSH; and
WHEREAS, the Company and FSH have determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company to ensure that no portion of distributions made to the Company’s stockholders will be paid from the Company’s offering proceeds or borrowings.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:
|
1.
|
FSH Expense Payments to the Company.
|
|
(a)
|
Commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2012 and on a quarterly basis thereafter, FSH shall reimburse the Company for operating expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company’s cumulative distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders in each calendar quarter less Available Operating Funds (defined below) received by the Company on account of its investment portfolio during such calendar quarter. Any payments required to be made by FSH pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be referred to herein as an “Expense Payment.”
|
|
(b)
|
FSH’s obligation to make an Expense Payment shall automatically become a liability of FSH and the right to such Expense Payment shall be an asset of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter. The Expense Payment for any calendar quarter shall be paid by FSH to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds, and/or offsets against amounts due from the Company to FSH or FBIA, no later than the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company closes its books for such calendar quarter and (ii) forty-five days after the end of such calendar quarter.
|
|
(c)
|
For purposes of this Agreement, “Available Operating Funds” means the sum of (i) the Company’s net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) the Company’s net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above).
|
|
2.
|
Reimbursement of Expense Payments by the Company.
|
|
(a)
|
Following any calendar quarter in which Available Operating Funds exceed the cumulative distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders in such calendar quarter (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company shall pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof in accordance with Section 2(b), to FSH until such time as all Expense Payments made by FSH to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment.”
|
|
(b)
|
The amount of the Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter shall equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds in such calendar quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Expense Payments made by FSH to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by the Company to FSH.
|
|
(c)
|
The Company’s obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment shall automatically become a liability of the Company and the right to such Reimbursement Payment shall be an asset of FSH on the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter. The Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter shall be paid by the Company to FSH in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after the end of such calendar quarter. Any Reimbursement Payments shall be deemed to have reimbursed FSH for Expense Payments in chronological order beginning with the oldest Expense Payment eligible for reimbursement under this Section 2.
|
|
3.
|
Termination and Survival.
|
|
(a)
|
This Agreement shall become effective as of the date of this Agreement.
|
|
(b)
|
This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Company or FSH at any time, with or without notice.
|
|
(c)
|
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of (i) the termination by the Company of the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement, dated February 12, 2008, as amended August 5, 2008, between the Company and FBIA or (ii) the board of directors of the Company makes a determination to dissolve or liquidate the Company.
|
|
(d)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if this Agreement terminates automatically pursuant to Section 3(c) or, following a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3(b), an event described in Section 3(c) occurs, the Company agrees to pay FSH an amount equal to all Expense Payments paid by FSH to the Company within three years prior to the date of such termination pursuant to Section 3(c) or the occurrence of such event, as applicable, and that have not been previously reimbursed by the Company to FSH. Such repayment shall be made to FSH not later than thirty days after such date of termination or the date of such event, as applicable.
