MEETINGS
OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section
1. PLACE. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation or at such other place
as shall be set by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.
Section
2. ANNUAL MEETING. Commencing with the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, an annual meeting of the stockholders
for the election of directors and the transaction of any business within the powers of the Corporation shall be held on a date and at
the time set by the Board of Directors.
Section
3. SPECIAL MEETINGS.
(a)
General. The Chairman of the Board, the chief executive officer, the president or the Board of Directors may call a special meeting
of the stockholders. Subject to subsection (b) of this Section 3, a special meeting of stockholders shall also be called by the secretary
of the Corporation upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be
cast at such meeting.
(b)
Stockholder Requested Special Meetings. (1) Any stockholder of record seeking to have stockholders request a special meeting shall,
by sending written notice to the secretary (the “Record Date Request Notice”) by registered mail, return receipt requested,
request the Board of Directors to fix a record date to determine the stockholders entitled to request a special meeting (the “Request
Record Date”). The Record Date Request Notice shall set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on
at it, shall be signed by one or more stockholders of record as of the date of signature (or their agents duly authorized in a writing
accompanying the Record Date Request Notice), shall bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) and shall set
forth all information relating to each such stockholder that must be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors
in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A
(or any successor provision) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Upon receiving the Record Date Request Notice, the
Board of Directors may fix a Request Record Date. The Request Record Date shall not precede and shall not be more than ten days after
the close of business on the date on which the resolution fixing the Request Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If the
Board of Directors, within ten days after the date on which a valid Record Date Request Notice is received, fails to adopt a resolution
fixing the Request Record Date, the Request Record Date shall be the close of business on the tenth day after the first date on which
the Record Date Request Notice is received by the secretary.
(2)
In order for any stockholder to request a special meeting, one or more written requests for a special meeting signed by stockholders
of record (or their agents duly authorized in a writing accompanying the request) as of the Request Record Date entitled to cast not
less than a majority (the “Special Meeting Percentage”) of all of the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting (the “Special
Meeting Request”) shall be delivered to the secretary. In addition, the Special Meeting Request (a) shall set forth the purpose
of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it (which shall be limited to those lawful matters set forth in the Record
Date Request Notice received by the secretary), (b) shall bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) signing
the Special Meeting Request, (c) shall set forth the name and address, as they appear in the Corporation’s books, of each stockholder
signing such request (or on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is signed) and the class, series and number of all shares of stock
of the Corporation which are owned by each such stockholder, and the nominee holder for, and number of, shares owned by such stockholder
beneficially but not of record, (d) shall be sent to the secretary by registered mail, return receipt requested, and (e) shall be received
by the secretary within 60 days after the Request Record Date. Any requesting stockholder (or agent duly authorized in a writing accompanying
the revocation or the Special Meeting Request) may revoke his, her or its request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation
delivered to the secretary.
(3)
The secretary shall inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice of meeting
(including the Corporation’s proxy materials). The secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting upon stockholder request
and such meeting shall not be held unless, in addition to the documents required by paragraph (2) of this Section 3(b), the secretary
receives payment of such reasonably estimated cost prior to the mailing of any notice of the meeting.
2
(4)
Except as provided in the next sentence, any special meeting shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the Chairman
of the Board, the chief executive officer, the president or the Board of Directors, whoever has called the meeting. In the case of any
special meeting called by the secretary upon the request of stockholders (a “Stockholder Requested Meeting”), such meeting
shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date of any Stockholder
Requested Meeting shall be not more than 90 days after the record date for such meeting (the “Meeting Record Date”); and
provided further that if the Board of Directors fails to designate, within ten days after the date that a valid Special Meeting Request
is actually received by the secretary (the “Delivery Date”), a date and time for a Stockholder Requested Meeting, then such
meeting shall be held at 2:00 p.m. local time on the 90th day after the Meeting Record Date or, if such 90th day is not a Business Day
(as defined below), on the first preceding Business Day; and provided further that in the event that the Board of Directors fails to
designate a place for a Stockholder Requested Meeting within ten days after the Delivery Date, then such meeting shall be held at the
principal executive office of the Corporation. In fixing a date for any special meeting, the Chairman of the Board, the chief executive
officer, the president or the Board of Directors may consider such factors as he, she or it deems relevant within the good faith exercise
of business judgment, including, without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding
any request for meeting and any plan of the Board of Directors to call an annual meeting or a special meeting. In the case of any Stockholder
Requested Meeting, if the Board of Directors fails to fix a Meeting Record Date that is a date within 30 days after the Delivery Date,
then the close of business on the 30th day after the Delivery Date shall be the Meeting Record Date. The Board of Directors may revoke
the notice for any Stockholder Requested Meeting in the event that the requesting stockholders fail to comply with the provisions of
paragraph (3) of this Section 3(b).
(5)
If written revocations of the Special Meeting Request
have been delivered to the secretary and the result is that stockholders of record (or their agents duly authorized in writing), as of
the Request Record Date, entitled to cast less than the Special Meeting Percentage have delivered, and not revoked, requests for a special
meeting to the secretary, the secretary shall: (i) if the notice of meeting has not already been mailed, refrain from mailing the notice
of the meeting and send to all requesting stockholders who have not revoked such requests written notice of any revocation of a request
for the special meeting, or (ii) if the notice of meeting has been mailed and if the secretary first sends to all requesting stockholders
who have not revoked requests for a special meeting written notice of any revocation of a request for the special meeting and written
notice of the secretary’s intention to revoke the notice of the meeting, revoke the notice of the meeting at any time before ten
days before the commencement of the meeting. Any request for a special meeting received after a revocation by the secretary of a notice
of a meeting shall be considered a request for a new special meeting.
(6)
The Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the president may appoint independent inspectors of elections to act as the agent
of the Corporation for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of any purported Special Meeting Request
received by the secretary. For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no such purported request shall be deemed
to have been delivered to the secretary until the earlier of (i) five Business Days after receipt by the secretary of such purported
request and (ii) such date as the independent inspectors certify to the Corporation that the valid requests received by the secretary
represent, as of the Request Record Date, not less than the Special Meeting Percentage. Nothing contained in this paragraph (6) shall
in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Corporation or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of
any request, whether during or after such five Business Day period, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement,
prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).
3
(7)
For purposes of these Bylaws, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which banking
institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
Section
4. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Not less than ten nor more than 90 days before each meeting of stockholders, the secretary shall give to
each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each stockholder not entitled to vote who is entitled to notice of the meeting
written or printed notice stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required
by any statute, the purpose for which the meeting is called, either by mail, by presenting it to such stockholder personally, by leaving
it at the stockholder’s residence or usual place of business or by any other means permitted by Maryland law. If mailed, such notice
shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address
as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. A single notice shall
be effective as to all stockholders who share an address, except to the extent that a stockholder at such address objects to such single
notice. Failure to give notice of any meeting to one or more stockholders, or any irregularity in such notice, shall not affect the validity
of any meeting fixed in accordance with this Article II, or the validity of any proceedings at any such meeting.
Subject
to Section 11(a) of this Article II, any business of the Corporation may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders without being
specifically designated in the notice, except such business as is required by any statute to be stated in such notice. No business shall
be transacted at a special meeting of stockholders except as specifically designated in the notice. The Corporation may postpone or cancel
a meeting of stockholders by making a “public announcement” (as defined in Section 11(c)(3)) of such postponement or cancellation
prior to the meeting.
Section
5. ORGANIZATION AND CONDUCT. Every meeting of stockholders shall be conducted by an individual appointed by the Board of Directors
to be chairman of the meeting or, in the absence of such appointment, by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or, in the case of a vacancy
in the office or absence of the Chairman of the Board, by one of the following officers present at the meeting: the Vice Chairman of
the Board, if any, the chief executive officer, the president, any vice president, the secretary, the treasurer or, in the absence of
such officers, a chairman chosen by the stockholders by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or
by proxy. The secretary or, in the secretary’s absence, an assistant secretary or, in the absence of both the secretary and assistant
secretaries, an individual appointed by the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such appointment, an individual appointed by the
chairman of the meeting shall act as secretary. In the event that the secretary presides at a meeting of the stockholders, an assistant
secretary, or, in the absence of assistant secretaries, an individual appointed by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting,
shall record the minutes of the meeting. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at any meeting of stockholders shall
be determined by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting may prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and take
such action as, in the discretion of the chairman and without any action by the stockholders, are appropriate for the proper conduct
of the meeting, including, without limitation, (a) restricting admission to the time set for the commencement of the meeting; (b) limiting
attendance at the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized proxies and other such individuals as the
chairman of the meeting may determine; (c) limiting participation at the meeting on any matter to stockholders of record of the Corporation
entitled to vote on such matter, their duly authorized proxies or other such individuals as the chairman of the meeting may determine;
(d) limiting the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; (e) determining when the polls should be opened and closed;
(f) maintaining order and security at the meeting; (g) removing any stockholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting
procedures, rules or guidelines as set forth by the chairman of the meeting; (h) concluding a meeting or recessing or adjourning the
meeting to a later date and time and at a place announced at the meeting; and (i) complying with any state and local laws and regulations
concerning safety and security. Unless otherwise determined by the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required
to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
4
Section
6. QUORUM. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to cast a majority
of the votes entitled to be cast (without regard to class) shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders, except with
respect to any such matter that, under applicable statutes or regulatory requirements, requires approval by a separate vote of one or
more classes of stock, in which case the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast by each such class on such a matter shall constitute a quorum. This section shall not affect any requirement under
any statute or the charter of the Corporation for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure.
If,
however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power to (a)
adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement
at the meeting or (b) conclude the meeting without adjournment to another date. If a meeting is adjourned and a quorum is present at
such adjournment, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
The
stockholders present either in person or by proxy, at a meeting which has been duly called and convened, may continue to transact business
until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Section
7. VOTING. A plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present
shall be sufficient to elect a director. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for
whose election the share is entitled to be voted. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which
a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any other matter which may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority
of the votes cast is required by statute or by the charter of the Corporation. Unless otherwise provided in the charter, each outstanding
share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.
Section
8. PROXIES. A stockholder may cast the votes entitled to be cast by the holder of the shares of stock owned of record by the stockholder
in person or by proxy executed by the stockholder or by the stockholder’s duly authorized agent in any manner permitted by law.
Such proxy or evidence of authorization of such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the Corporation before or at the meeting.
No proxy shall be valid more than eleven months after its date unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
5
Section
9. VOTING OF STOCK BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Stock of the Corporation registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or
other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president or a vice president, a general partner or trustee thereof, as the
case may be, or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has been appointed to vote such stock
pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing body of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners of a partnership
presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which case such person may vote such stock. Any director or other
fiduciary may vote stock registered in his or her name as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.
Shares
of stock of the Corporation directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining
the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in
which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.
The
Board of Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder may certify in writing to the Corporation that any shares
of stock registered in the name of the stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the stockholder. The resolution
shall set forth the class of stockholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form
of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date, the time after the
record date within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure
which the Board of Directors considers necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the certification
shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the stockholder of record of the specified stock in place of the
stockholder who makes the certification.
Section
10. INSPECTORS. The Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting may appoint,
before or at the meeting, one or more inspectors for the meeting and any successor thereto.
The inspectors, if any, shall (i) determine the number of shares of
stock represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy and the validity and effect of
proxies, (ii) receive and tabulate all votes, ballots
or consents, (iii) report such tabulation to the chair of the meeting, (iv) hear and determine
all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, and (v) do such acts
as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. Each such report shall be in writing and signed by him
or her or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the
report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented
at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.
6
Section
11. ADVANCE NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR AND OTHER STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS.
(a)
Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of other
business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s
notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder
of record both at the time of giving of notice by the stockholder as provided for in this Section 11(a) and at the time of the annual
meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with this Section 11(a).
(2)
For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph
(a)(1) of this Section 11, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Corporation and such
other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by the stockholders. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall set
forth all information required under this Section 11 and shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive office of the
Corporation not earlier than the 150th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the preceding
year’s annual meeting nor later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the
date of the proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the
annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual
meeting (or if an annual meeting has not previously been held), notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier
than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the
120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the
date of such meeting is first made. The public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting shall not commence
a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth
(i) as to each individual whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (A) the name, age, business
address and residence address of such individual, (B) the class, series and number of any shares of stock of the Corporation that are
beneficially owned by such individual, (C) the date such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition, (D) whether
such stockholder believes any such individual is, or is not, an “interested person” of the Corporation, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder (the “Investment Company Act”) and information
regarding such individual that is sufficient, in the discretion of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or any authorized
officer of the Corporation, to make such determination and (E) all other information relating to such individual that is required to
be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved),
or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder
(including such individual’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if
elected); (ii) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a description of such business, the
reasons for proposing such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and any Stockholder
Associated Person (as defined below), individually or in the aggregate, including any anticipated benefit to the stockholder or the Stockholder
Associated Person therefrom; (iii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and any Stockholder Associated Person, (A) the class, series
and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned by such stockholder and by such Stockholder Associated Person, if
any, (B) the nominee holder for, and number of, shares owned beneficially but not of record by such stockholder and by any such Stockholder
Associated Person, (C) whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered into
by or on behalf of, or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of
shares) has been made, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to or manage risk of share price changes for, or to increase
the voting power of, such stockholder or any such Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any shares of stock of the Corporation
(collectively, “Hedging Activities”) and (D) a general description of whether and the extent to which such stockholder or

ARTICLE
XI
INDEMNIFICATION
AND ADVANCE OF EXPENSES
To
the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and the Investment Company Act, in effect from time to time, the Corporation shall indemnify
and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, shall pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a present or former director or officer of the
Corporation and who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity or
(b) any individual who, while a director or officer of the Corporation and at the request of the Corporation, serves or has served as
a director, officer, partner or trustee of such corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service
in that capacity. The Corporation may, with the approval of its Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, provide
such indemnification and advance for expenses to a person who served a predecessor of the Corporation in any of the capacities described
in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of the Corporation or a predecessor of the Corporation. The indemnification and payment
of expenses provided in these Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of or limit in any way other rights to which any person seeking indemnification
or payment of expenses may be or may become entitled under any bylaw, regulation, insurance, agreement or otherwise.
Neither
the amendment nor repeal of this Article, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Bylaws or charter of the Corporation
inconsistent with this Article, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of the preceding paragraph with respect to
any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.
No
provision of this Article XI shall be effective to protect or purport to protect any director or officer of the Corporation against liability
to the Corporation or its stockholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
ARTICLE
XII
WAIVER
OF NOTICE
Whenever
any notice is required to be given pursuant to the charter of the Corporation or these Bylaws or pursuant to applicable law, a waiver
thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be
deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any meeting need be set forth
in the waiver of notice, unless specifically required by statute. The attendance of any person at any meeting shall constitute a waiver
of notice of such meeting, except where such person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any
business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

COMPANY ACT

and to the extent that any provision of the MGCL, including, without limitation, Subtitle 6 and, if then applicable, Subtitle 7, of Title

provision of the Investment Company Act shall control.
