ARES CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2010 (unaudited)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data and as otherwise indicated)
1. ORGANIZATION
Ares Capital Corporation (the Company or ARCC or we) is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Investment Company Act). We were incorporated on April 16, 2004 and were initially funded on June 23, 2004. On October 8, 2004, we completed our initial public offering (the IPO). On the same date, we commenced substantial investment operations.
On April 1, 2010, we consummated our acquisition (the Allied Acquisition) of Allied Capital Corporation (Allied Capital), in an all stock merger where each existing share of common stock of Allied Capital was exchanged for 0.325 shares of our common stock. The Allied Acquisition was valued at approximately $908 million as of April 1, 2010. In connection therewith, we issued approximately 58.5 million shares of our common stock to Allied Capitals then-existing stockholders, thereby resulting in our then-existing stockholders owning approximately 69% of the combined company and then-existing Allied Capital stockholders owning approximately 31% of the combined company (see Note 15).
The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (a RIC) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. To a lesser extent, we also make equity investments. Also, as a result of the Allied Acquisition, Allied Capitals equity investments, including equity investments larger than those we have traditionally made and equity investments pursuant to which Allied Capital controlled a particular company, became part of our portfolio.
We are externally managed by Ares Capital Management LLC (Ares Capital Management or the investment adviser), an affiliate of Ares Management LLC (Ares Management), a global alternative asset manager and a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registered investment adviser. Ares Operations LLC (Ares Operations or the administrator), an affiliate of Ares Management, provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.
Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The current periods results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP, and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include funds from time to time deposited with financial institutions and short-term, liquid investments in a money market fund. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.
Investments
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are computed using the specific identification method. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, we look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of our investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12 month period, and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 50% (based on value) of our valuations of portfolio companies without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter.
As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (an estimate of the total fair value of the portfolio companys debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison of the portfolio companys securities to publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.
Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms, under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.
In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the gains or losses that would be realized based on the valuations currently assigned.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
· Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with our portfolio management team.
· Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with the entire investment professional and management team, and then valuation recommendations are presented to the board of directors.
· The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these preliminary valuations, as well as the input of independent valuation firms with respect to the valuations of approximately 50% (based on value) of our portfolio companies without readily available market quotations.
· The board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on the input of our management and audit committee and
independent valuation firms.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157)), which expands the application of fair value accounting for investments (see Note 8). Investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-10 (previously SFAS No. 141(R)), Business Combinations , which requires that all assets be recorded at fair value. As a result, the initial amortized cost basis and fair value for the acquired investments were the same value at April 1, 2010 (see Note 15).
Interest Income Recognition
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums from par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of June 30, 2010, 9.4% of total investments at amortized cost (or 7.6% of total investments at fair value) were on non-accrual status, including 7.1% of total investments at amortized cost (or 7.4% of total investments at fair value) of investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition. As of December 31, 2009, 2.5% of total investments at amortized cost (or 0.5% at fair value) were on non-accrual status.
Payment-in-Kind Interest
The Company has loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (PIK) provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. To maintain the Companys status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $13,556 and $20,690, respectively, in PIK income was recorded. Of the PIK income recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2010, $5,737 was PIK income from investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, $11,474 and $22,196, respectively, in PIK income were recorded.
Capital Structuring Service Fees and Other Income
The Companys investment adviser seeks to provide assistance to our portfolio companies in connection with the Companys investments and in return the Company may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally only available to the Company as a result of the Companys underlying investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Companys investment adviser provides vary by investment, but generally consist of reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment. Any services of the above nature subsequent to the closing would generally generate a separate fee payable to the Company. In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan. The Companys investment adviser may also take a seat on the board of directors of a portfolio company, or observe the meetings of the board of directors without taking a formal seat.
Other income includes fees for asset management, management and consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, amendments and other services rendered by the Company to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.
Results of operations based on changes in foreign exchange rates are separately disclosed in the statement of operations. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuation and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and marks its derivatives to market through operations.
Offering Expenses
The Companys offering costs, excluding underwriters fees, are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when received. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred approximately $1,035 of offering costs. There were no equity offerings during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the related credit facility using the straight line method, which closely approximates the effective yield method.
U.S. Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company, among other things, has made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal income taxes.
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, no amounts were recorded for U.S. Federal excise tax. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, no amount was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, a net benefit of $30 was recorded for U.S. Federal excise tax.
Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal and state income taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a tax expense of approximately $686 and $524, respectively, for these subsidiaries. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a tax expense of approximately $78 and $109, respectively, for these subsidiaries.
Income taxes for certain of our subsidiaries are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Dividends to Common Stockholders
Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the board of directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.
We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions we declare in cash on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend, then our stockholders who have not opted out of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. While we generally use primarily newly issued shares to implement the plan (especially if our shares are trading at a premium to net asset value), we may purchase shares in the open market in connection with our obligations under the plan. In particular, if our shares are trading at a significant enough discount to net asset value and we are otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, we intend to purchase shares in the open market in connection with our obligations under our dividend reinvestment plan.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of actual and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income or loss and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 inputs and separate disclosures about fair value measurements (see Note 8), particularly with respect to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 inputs. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation, will require that entities provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, and adds requirements relating to inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Generally, ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, however, the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 inputs will not be required until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
3. AGREEMENTS
Investment Advisory and Management Agreement
The Company is party to an investment advisory and management agreement (the investment advisory and management agreement) with Ares Capital Management. Subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, Ares Capital Management provides investment advisory services to the Company. For providing these services, Ares Capital Management receives a fee from us, consisting of two componentsa base management fee and an incentive fee. Ares Capital Management has committed to defer up to $15,000 in base management and incentive fees for each of the first two fiscal years following the Allied Acquisition if certain earnings targets are not met.
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears.
The incentive fee has two parts. One part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the quarter. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the administration agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest
feature such as market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. The investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse us for any part of the incentive fee it received that was based on accrued interest that we never actually receive.
Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that we may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where we incur a loss. For example, if we receive pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, we will pay the applicable incentive fee even if we have incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses.
Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed hurdle rate of 2% per quarter. If market interest rates rise, we may be able to invest our funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which would increase our pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for our investment adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an incentive fee based on such net investment income. Our pre-incentive fee net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) used to calculate the 1.5% base management fee.
We pay the investment adviser an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:
· no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;
· 100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% in any calendar quarter. We refer to this portion of our pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%) as the catch-up provision. The catch-up is meant to provide our investment adviser with 20% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and
· 20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter.
These calculations are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.
The second part of the incentive fee (the Capital Gains Fee), is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or, upon termination of the investment advisory and management agreement, as of the termination date) and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (a) the sum of our cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (b) our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from October 8, 2004. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee for such year is equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of Capital Gains Fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee for such year.
The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in our portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.
The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in our portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.
The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in our portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gains Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.
We defer cash payment of any incentive fee otherwise earned by the investment adviser if during the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made the sum of (a) the aggregate distributions to our stockholders and (b) the change in net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) is less than 8.0% of our net assets at the beginning of such period.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred $11,682 and $20,138, respectively, in base management fees and $14,973 and $23,117, respectively, in incentive management fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we accrued no incentive management fees related to net realized capital gains. As of June 30, 2010, $26,655 was unpaid and included in management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $7,496 and $14,994, respectively, in base management fees and $7,987 and $15,537, respectively, in incentive management fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we accrued no incentive management fees related to realized capital gains. As of June 30, 2009, $48,287 was unpaid and included in management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Administration Agreement
We are party to a separate administration agreement, referred to herein as the administration agreement, with our administrator, Ares Operations. Pursuant to the administration agreement, Ares Operations furnishes us with office equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services. Under the administration agreement, Ares Operations also performs, or oversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, Ares Operations assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Payments under the administration agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocable portion of Ares Operations overhead in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staffs. The administration agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60-days written notice to the other party.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred $2,378 and $3,609, respectively, in administrative fees. As of June 30, 2010, $2,378 was unpaid and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $1,092 and $2,096, respectively, in administrative fees.

Under these arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $11,900 in standby letters of credit issued and outstanding on behalf of the portfolio companies, of which no amounts were recorded as a liability on the balance sheet as they are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company.

As part of the Allied Acquisition, the Company assumed such outstanding guarantees or similar obligations. As a result, as of June 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding guarantees or similar obligations totaling $0.8 million and an outstanding servicer performance guaranty. The servicer performance guaranty relates to one portfolio companys servicing of loans held in a loan warehouse facility, and as of June 30, 2010, there were no known issues or claims with respect to such performance guaranty.
7. BORROWINGS
In accordance with the Investment Company Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of June 30, 2010, our asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 318%.

CP Funding Facility
In October 2004, we formed Ares Capital CP Funding LLC (Ares Capital CP), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, through which we established a revolving facility (as amended, the CP Funding Facility) that, as amended, allowed Ares Capital CP to issue up to $350,000 of variable funding certificates (VFC). On May 7, 2009, the Company and Ares Capital CP entered into an amendment that, among other things, converted the CP Funding Facility from a revolving facility to an
amortizing facility, extended the maturity from July 21, 2009 to May 7, 2012 and reduced the availability from $350,000 to $225,000.
On July 21, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Wachovia Bank N.A. (Wachovia) to establish a new revolving facility (the CP Funding II Facility) whereby Wachovia agreed to extend credit to us in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $200,000 at any one time outstanding. The CP Funding II Facility was scheduled to expire on July 21, 2012.
On January 22, 2010, we combined the CP Funding Facility with the CP Funding II Facility into a single $400,000 revolving securitized facility (the combined CP Funding Facility). In connection with the combination, we terminated the CP Funding II Facility and entered into an Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement with Ares Capital CP Funding Holdings LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (CP Holdings), pursuant to which we may sell to CP Holdings certain loans that we have originated or acquired, or will originate or acquire (the Loans) from time to time, which CP Holdings will subsequently sell to Ares Capital CP, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CP Holdings. The combined CP Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by, and the membership interest in, Ares Capital CP. The combined CP Funding Facility, among other things, extended the maturity date of the facility to January 22, 2013 (with two one-year extension options, subject to mutual consent). Prior to January 22, 2010, the interest rate charged on the CP Funding Facility was the commercial paper rate plus 3.50%. After January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, the interest charged on the combined CP Funding Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.25% and 3.75% or on a base rate (which is the higher of a prime rate, or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus an applicable spread of between 1.25% to 2.75%, in each case, based on a pricing grid depending upon our credit rating. As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2010, the effective LIBOR spread under the combined CP Funding Facility was 2.75%.
As of June 30, 2010, there was $204,853 outstanding under the combined CP Funding Facility and the Company continues to be in material compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the combined CP Funding Facility. As of December 31, 2009, there was $221,569 outstanding under the CP Funding Facility. The combined CP Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by and the membership interest in Ares Capital CP, which assets as of June 30, 2010 consisted of 28 investments. As of June 30, 2010, the base rate in effect was one month LIBOR, which was 0.35%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the average interest rates (i.e. rate in effect plus the spread) on the combined CP Funding Facility and the CP Funding Facility were 2.64% and 2.92%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the average outstanding balances on the combined CP Funding Facility and the CP Funding Facility were $193,310 and $204,859, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the interest expense incurred on the combined CP Funding Facility and the CP Funding Facility was $1,277 and $2,987, respectively. Cash paid for interest expense on the combined CP Funding Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $3,609.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the average interest rates (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) for the CP Funding Facility were 3.70% and 3.66%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the average outstanding balances on the CP Funding Facility were $177,932 and $135,495, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the interest expense incurred on the CP Funding Facility was $1,648 and $2,480, respectively. Cash paid for interest expense on the CP Funding Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2,701.
We are required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 2.00% depending on the usage level on any unused portion of the combined CP Funding Facility. Prior to May 7, 2009, we were required to pay a commitment fee for any unused portion of the CP Funding Facility equal to 0.50% per annum for any unused portion of the CP Funding Facility. Prior to January 22, 2010, we were also required to pay a commitment fee on any unused portion of the CP Funding II Facility of between 0.50% and 2.50% depending on the usage level. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred commitment fees on the CP Funding Facility together with the CP Funding II Facility of $377 and $1,034, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the commitment fees incurred on the CP Funding Facility were $122 and $443, respectively.
Revolving Credit Facility
In December 2005, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the Revolving Credit Facility), under which, as amended, the lenders agreed to extend credit to the Company. On January 22, 2010, we entered into an agreement to amend and restate the Revolving Credit Facility. The amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Facility, among other things, increased the size of the facility from $525,000 to $690,000 (comprised of $615,000 in commitments on a stand-alone basis and an additional $75,000 in commitments contingent upon the closing of the Allied Acquisition), extended the maturity date from December 28, 2010 to January 22, 2013 and modified pricing. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that allows, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of $1,050,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we exercised this accordion feature
and increased the size of the facility by $60,000 to bring the total facility size to $750,000 (see Note 17). As of June 30, 2010, there was $153,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Company continues to be in material compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2009, there was $474,144 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Prior to January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, pricing on the Revolving Credit Facility was based on LIBOR plus 1.00% or on an alternate base rate (which was the highest of a prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or one month LIBOR plus 1.00%). After January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, pricing under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.50% and 4.00% or on the alternate base rate plus an applicable spread of between 1.50% and 3.00%, in each case, based on a pricing grid depending upon our credit rating. As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2010, the effective LIBOR spread under the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.00%. As of June 30, 2010, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 0.35%, 0.43%, 0.53% and 0.75%, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 0.23%, 0.24%, 0.25% and 0.43%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the average interest rate was 4.67% and 3.92%, respectively, the average outstanding balance was $293,902 and $309,523, respectively, the interest expense incurred was $3,431 and $6,063, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the average interest rate was 1.83% and 2.19%, respectively, the average outstanding balance was $423,069 and $457,590, respectively, and the interest expense incurred was $1,939 and $5,012, respectively. Cash paid for interest expense in respect of the revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $5,959 and $6,311, respectively.
Additionally, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% on any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the commitment fees incurred were $789 and $1,491, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the commitment fees incurred was $101 and $202, respectively.
In connection with the expansion and extension of the Revolving Credit Facility, we paid structuring and arrangement fees totaling $15.6 million. With certain exceptions, the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets in our portfolio (other than investments held by Ares Capital CP under the combined CP Funding Facility and those held as a part of the Debt Securitization, discussed below), which as of June 30, 2010 consisted of 236 investments.
The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by any standby letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $23,357 in standby letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $24,000 in standby letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility.
Debt Securitization
In July 2006, through ARCC Commercial Loan Trust 2006, a vehicle serviced by our wholly owned subsidiary, ARCC CLO 2006 LLC (ARCC CLO), we completed a $400,000 debt securitization (the Debt Securitization) and issued approximately $314,000 principal amount of asset-backed notes (including an aggregate amount of up to $50,000 of revolving notes, $35,411 of which was drawn down as of June 30, 2010) (the CLO Notes) to third parties that are secured by a pool of middle market loans that were purchased or originated by the Company. The CLO Notes are included in the June 30, 2010 consolidated balance sheet. We retained approximately $86,000 of aggregate principal amount of certain BBB and non-rated securities in the Debt Securitization at the time of issuance.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we repaid $20,040, $13,360 and $25,952 of the Class A-1-A, Class A-1A VFN and Class A-2A Notes, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we repurchased, in several open market transactions, $34,790 of CLO Notes consisting of $14,000 of Class B Notes and $20,790 of Class C Notes for a total purchase price of $8,247. As a result of these purchases, we recognized a $26,543 gain on the extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, we held an aggregate principal amount of $120,790 of CLO Notes (the Retained Notes), in total. The CLO Notes mature on December 20, 2019, and, as of June 30, 2010, there was $214,400 outstanding under the Debt Securitization (excluding the Retained Notes). The blended pricing of the CLO Notes, excluding fees, is approximately 3-month LIBOR plus 33 basis points.
The classes, amounts, ratings and interest rates (expressed as a spread to LIBOR) of the CLO Notes are as follows:

(1) Revolving Notes, in an aggregate amount of up to $50,000.
As of June 30, 2010, there were 43 investments securing the notes. The interest charged under the Debt Securitization is based on 3-month LIBOR, which as of June 30, 2010 was 0.53% and as of December 31, 2009 was 0.25%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the effective average interest rates were 0.62% and 0.59%, respectively, and we incurred $402 and $783 of interest expense, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the effective average interest rate was 1.59% and 1.63%, respectively, the average outstanding balance was $279,210 and $289,638, respectively, and the interest expense incurred was $1,107 and $2,356, respectively.

(1) Represents the principal amount of the notes less the unaccreted discount initially recorded as a part of the Allied Acquisition
The 2011 Notes and 2012 Notes require payment of interest semi-annually, and all principal is due upon maturity. The Company has the option to redeem these notes in whole or in part, together with a redemption premium, as stipulated in the notes.
The 2047 Notes require payment of interest quarterly, and all principal is due upon maturity. These notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after April 15, 2012, at par and upon the occurrence of certain tax events as stipulated in the notes.
The Company may purchase the Unsecured Notes in the market to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company purchased $5,000 principal amount of the 2011 Notes and $5,000 principal amount of the 2012 Notes. As a result of these transactions, we recognized a realized loss of $383 during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
In accordance with ASC 805-10, the initial carrying value of the Unsecured Notes was equal to the fair value as of April 1, 2010 resulting in an initial unaccreted discount from the principal value of the Unsecured Notes of approximately $65.8 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded $2,676 of accretion expense related to this discount which was included in interest and credit facility fees in the accompanying statement of operations.
8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 825-10 (previously SFAS No. 159, the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities ), which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the companys choice to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Company has not elected the ASC 25-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. As a result, with the exception of the line items entitled other assets and debt, which are reported at cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the balance sheet. The carrying value of the line items entitled interest receivable, receivable for open trades, payable for open trades, accounts payable and accrued expenses, management and incentive fees payable and interest and facility fees payable approximate fair value due to their short maturity.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820-10 (previously SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ), which expands the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investment is sold in a principal market to market participants, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company has considered its principal market as the market in which the Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820-10, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
· Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
· Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
· Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, we continue to employ the valuation policy approved by our board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820-10 (see Note 2). Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. Our valuation policy considers the fact that because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, the fair value of the investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.
In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the gains or losses that would be realized based on the valuations currently assigned.
The following table presents fair value measurements of cash and cash equivalents and investments as of June 30, 2010:

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In accordance with the investment advisory and management agreement, we bear all costs and expenses of the operation of the Company and reimburse the investment adviser for certain of such costs and expenses incurred in the operation of the Company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the investment adviser incurred such expenses totaling $847 and $1,532, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the investment adviser incurred such expenses totaling $527 and $944, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, $93 was unpaid and such payable is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
We rent office space directly from a third party pursuant to a lease that expires on February 27, 2011. In addition, we have entered into a sublease agreement with Ares Management whereby Ares Management subleases approximately 25% of our office space for a fixed rent equal to 25% of the basic annual rent payable by us under this lease, plus certain additional costs
and expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, such amounts payable to the Company totaled $561 and $686, respectively.

See Notes 3 and 10 for descriptions of other related party transactions.
10. IVY HILL ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P. AND OTHER MANAGED FUNDS
In November 2007, we established Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P. (IHAM) to serve as a manager for Ivy Hill Middle Market Credit Fund, Ltd. (Ivy Hill I), an unconsolidated investment vehicle focusing on investments in middle market loans. From inception until the second quarter of 2009, IHAMs financial results were consolidated with those of the Company. In June 2009, because of a shift in activity from being primarily a manager, with no dedicated employees, of funds in which the Company has invested debt and equity, to a manager with investment professionals dedicated to managing an increasing number of third party funds, we concluded that GAAP requires the financial results of IHAM to be reported as a portfolio company in our schedule of investments rather than as a consolidated subsidiary in the Companys financial results. The Company made an initial equity investment of $3,816 into IHAM in June 2009. As of June 30, 2010, our total investment in IHAM at fair value was $105,044 with an unrealized gain of $19,620.
IHAM receives a 0.50% management fee on the average total assets of Ivy Hill I as compensation for managing Ivy Hill I. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company earned $395 and $883, respectively, in management fees from IHAMs management of Ivy Hill I prior to IHAMs conversion to a portfolio company in June 2009. Ivy Hill I primarily invests in first and second lien bank debt of middle market companies. Ivy Hill I was initially funded with $404,000 of capital including a $56,000 investment by the Company, consisting of $40,000 of Class B notes and $16,000 of subordinated notes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company earned $1,724 and $3,485, respectively, from its investments in Ivy Hill I. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company earned $1,369 and $3,022, respectively, from its investments in Ivy Hill I.
Ivy Hill I purchased investments from the Company of $8,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, and may from time to time purchase additional investments from the Company. Any such purchases require approval by third parties unaffiliated with the Company or IHAM. There was no gain or loss recognized by the Company on these transactions.
In November 2008, the Company established a second middle market credit fund, Ivy Hill Middle Market Credit Fund II, Ltd. (Ivy Hill II and, together with Ivy Hill I and Ivy Hill SDF (as defined below), the Ivy Hill Funds), which is also managed by IHAM. IHAM receives a 0.50% management fee on the average total assets of Ivy Hill II as compensation for managing this fund. Ivy Hill II primarily invests in second lien and subordinated bank debt of middle market companies. Ivy Hill II was established with an initial commitment of $250,000 of subordinated notes, of which $125,000 has been funded, and may grow over time with leverage. Ivy Hill II purchased $86,500 of investments from the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and may from time to time purchase additional investments from the Company. Any such purchases require approval by third parties unaffiliated with the Company or IHAM. A loss of $1,218 was recorded on these transactions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company earned $274 and $353, respectively, in management fees from IHAMs management of Ivy Hill II prior to IHAMs conversion to a portfolio company in June 2009.
In December 2009, the Company made an incremental cash investment of approximately $33 million in IHAM to facilitate IHAMs acquisition of Allied Capitals management rights in respect of, and interests in, the Allied Capital Senior Debt Fund, L.P. (now referred to as Ivy Hill Senior Debt Fund, L.P. or the Ivy Hill SDF). The Ivy Hill SDF currently has approximately $222 million of committed capital invested primarily in first lien loans and, to a lesser extent, second lien loans of middle-market companies. IHAM manages the Ivy Hill SDF and receives fee income and is entitled to potential equity distributions in respect of interests that it acquired in the Ivy Hill SDF.
In March 2010, the Company made an incremental cash investment of approximately $48 million in IHAM to facilitate IHAMs acquisition of Allied Capitals management rights in respect of, and equity interests in, the Knightsbridge CLO 2007-1, Ltd. and Knightsbridge CLO 2008-1, Ltd. (the Knightsbridge Funds). The Knightsbridge Funds have
approximately $769 million of committed capital invested primarily in senior debt. IHAM manages the Knightsbridge Funds and receives fee income and is entitled to potential equity distributions in respect of equity interests that it required in the Knightsbridge Funds.
In addition to the Ivy Hill Funds and the Knightsbridge Funds, IHAM also serves as the sub-adviser/sub-manager to four other funds: Colts 2005-1 Ltd., Colts 2005-2 Ltd., Colts 2007-1 Ltd. and Firstlight Funding I, Ltd., which is affiliated with our portfolio company, Firstlight Financial Corporation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company received $1,418 and $1,796, respectively, in distributions from IHAM consisting entirely of dividend income.
Beginning in November 2008, IHAM, was party to a separate services agreement, referred to herein as the services agreement, with Ares Capital Management. Pursuant to the services agreement, Ares Capital Management provided IHAM with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services, services of investment professionals and others to perform investment advisory, research and related services, services of, and oversight of, custodians, depositories, accountants, attorneys, underwriters and such other persons in any other capacity deemed to be necessary. Under the services agreement, IHAM reimbursed Ares Capital Management for all of the costs associated with such services, including Ares Capital Managements allocable portion of overhead and the cost of its officers and respective staff in performing its obligations under the services agreement. The services agreement was terminated effective June 30, 2010 and replaced with a different services agreement between IHAM and our administrator. Prior to IHAMs conversion to a portfolio company in June 2009, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, IHAM incurred such expenses payable to Ares Capital Management of $282 and $538, respectively.
In October 2009, we completed our acquisition of Allied Capitals subordinated interests in the Senior Secured Loan Fund for $165 million. The Senior Secured Loan Fund was formed in December 2007 to invest in unitranche loans (loans that combine both senior and subordinated debt, generally in a first lien position) of middle-market companies and has approximately $3.6 billion of total committed capital, approximately $915 million in aggregate principal amount of which is currently funded. Of the $2.7 billion of unfunded committed capital, approximately $340 million would be funded by the Company. Our investment entitles us to a coupon of LIBOR plus 8.0% plus a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio as well as certain other sourcing and management fees. Together with GE Commercial Finance Investment Advisory Services LLC, we serve as co-managers of the Senior Secured Loan Fund for which we receive a management fee. As of June 30, 2010, the Senior Secured Loan Funds portfolio consisted of $1.0 billion of loans at par among 12 different issuers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we earned $982 and $1,850, respectively, in management fees and $10,018 and $17,254, respectively, in interest income from the Senior Secured Loan Fund.
In addition, we manage an unconsolidated fund, AGILE Fund I, LLC, and our wholly owned subsidiary A.C. Corporation manages three unconsolidated loan funds: Emporia Preferred Funding I, Ltd., Emporia Preferred Funding II, Ltd. and Emporia Preferred Funding III, Ltd.
11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In October 2008, we entered into a two-year interest rate swap agreement to mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates for a total notional amount of $75 million. Under the interest rate swap agreement, we will pay a fixed interest rate of 2.985% and receive a floating rate based on the prevailing three-month LIBOR. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the 3-month LIBOR was 0.53% and 0.25%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized $560 and $893, respectively, in unrealized appreciation related to this swap agreement. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, this swap agreement had a fair value of $(848) and $(1,741), respectively, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

(1) The net assets used equals the total stockholders equity on the consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Weighted average basic per share data.
(3) For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the total return based on market value equals the increase of the ending market value at June 30, 2010 of $12.53 per share over the ending market value at December 31, 2009 of $12.45 per share, plus the declared dividend of $0.70 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010, divided by the market value at December 31, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the total return based on market value equals the decrease of the ending market value at June 30, 2009 of $8.06 per share over the ending market value at December 31, 2008 of $6.33 per share, plus the declared dividend of $0.77 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009, divided by the market value at December 31, 2008. Total return based on market value is not annualized. The Companys shares fluctuate in value. The Companys performance changes over time and currently may be different than that shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
(4) For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the total return based on net asset value equals the change in net asset value during the period plus the declared dividends of $0.70 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010, divided by the beginning net asset value at January 1, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the total return based on net asset value equals the change in net asset value during the period plus the declared dividend of $0.77 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009, divided by the beginning net asset value at January 1, 2009. These calculations are adjusted for shares issued in connection with the dividend reinvestment plan and the issuance of common stock in connection with any equity offerings. Total return based on net asset value is not annualized. The Companys performance changes over time and currently may be different than that shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

These ratios reflect annualized amounts.
(7) The ratio of net investment income to average net assets excludes income taxes related to realized gains.
15. ALLIED ACQUISITION
On October 26, 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Allied Capital in an all stock transaction. On April 1, 2010, we completed the Allied Acquisition by acquiring the outstanding shares of Allied Capital in exchange for shares of our common stock in a transaction valued at approximately $908 million as of the closing date. Concurrently with the completion of the Allied Acquisition, we assumed and then repaid in full the $137 million of remaining amounts outstanding on Allied Capitals $250 million senior secured term loan. We also assumed all of Allied Capitals other outstanding debt obligations, including approximately $745 million in principal amount of Allied Capitals Unsecured Notes.
Under the terms of the transaction, each Allied Capital stockholder received 0.325 shares of our common stock for each share of Allied Capital common stock then owned by such stockholder. In connection with the Allied Acquisition, approximately 58.5 million shares of our common stock (including the effect of outstanding in-the money Allied Capital stock options) were issued to Allied Capitals then-existing stockholders, thereby resulting in our then-existing stockholders owning approximately 69% of the combined company and the then-existing Allied Capital stockholders owning approximately 31% of the combined company.
The Allied Acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-10 (previously SFAS No. 141(R)), Business Combinations . The acquisition method of accounting requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition. As described in more detail in ASC 805-10, if the total acquisition date fair value of the
identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred, the excess will be recognized as a gain. Upon completion of our determination of the fair value of Allied Capitals identifiable net assets as of April 1, 2010, the fair value of such net assets exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred, thereby, resulting in the recognition of a gain. The valuation of the investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition was done in accordance with Ares Capitals valuation policy (see Notes 2 and 8).
Following is the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Allied Acquisition:

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to be indicative of actual financial position or results of our operations had the Allied Acquisition actually been consummated at the beginning of each period presented. Certain one-time charges have been eliminated. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized $12,534 and $16,323, respectively, in professional fees and other costs related to the Allied Acquisition. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the allocation of the purchase price of Allied Capital and the gain of $195,876 recognized on the Allied Acquisition have been eliminated from all periods presented. The pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the potential impact of possible synergies and does not reflect any impact of additional accretion which would have been recognized on the transaction, except for that which was recorded after the transaction was consummated on April 1, 2010.

Prior to the completion of the Allied Acquisition, but subsequent to October 26, 2009, the date we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Allied Capital, we purchased $340 million of assets from Allied Capital in arms length transactions. Additionally, during the same period of time, IHAM purchased $69 million of assets from Allied Capital, also in arms length transactions.
16. LITIGATION
A number of lawsuits have been filed in the Maryland state courts and the federal and Superior Court for the District of Columbia by stockholders of Allied Capital challenging the Allied Acquisition. These include: (1) In re Allied Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation, Case No. 322639V (Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland) (the Maryland action); (2) Sandler v. Walton, et al., Case No. 2009 CA 008123 B (Superior Court for the District of Columbia), which was consolidated with Wienecki v. Allied Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 2009 CA 008541 B (Superior Court for the District of Columbia) (the D.C. Superior Court action); and (3) Ryan v. Walton, et al., Case No. 1:10-CV-000145-RMC (United States District Court for the District of Columbia) (the D.C. Federal Court action). The suits were filed after the
entry by the Company, Allied Capital and ARCC Odyssey Corp. (Merger Sub) into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) and the announcement of the Allied Acquisition on October 26, 2009, either as putative stockholder class actions, shareholder derivative actions or both. All of the actions asserted similar claims against the members of Allied Capitals Board of Directors alleging that the Merger Agreement was the product of a flawed sales process and that Allied Capitals directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to a structure that was not designed to maximize the value of Allied Capitals stockholders, by failing to adequately value and obtain fair consideration for Allied Capitals shares and by improperly rejecting competing offers by Prospect Capital Corporation. They also claimed that the Company (and, in several cases, Merger Sub, and, in several other cases, Allied Capital) aided and abetted the directors alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. In addition, in Ryan v. Walton, et al., the plaintiffs also alleged violations of Rule 14a-9(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All of the actions demanded, among other things, a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining the merger and rescinding the transaction or any part thereof that may be implemented.
On March 2, 2010, the plaintiffs in the Maryland action, Allied Capital and the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle the Maryland action on terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth in a Stipulation of Settlement dated March 17, 2010. Although the Company and Allied Capital believed that the disclosures already provided were thorough and complete, in connection with the settlement we and Allied Capital agreed to make certain additional disclosures that are contained in the Supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement, dated March 8, 2010, and to pay counsel for the plaintiffs in the Maryland action certain of their fees and expenses. The settlement is subject to final settlement documentation and approval by the Maryland court, after, among other things, notice is provided to the stockholders of Allied Capital.
On March 19, 2010, the plaintiffs in the D.C. Federal Court action, Allied Capital and the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle the D.C. Federal Court action. On April 15, 2010, the plaintiffs in the D.C. Superior Court action, Allied Capital and Ares Capital reached an agreement in principle to settle the D.C. Superior Court action. The D.C. Federal Court action and the D.C. Superior Court action were stayed on March 22, 2010 and March 26, 2010, respectively, in contemplation of dismissal with prejudice once the settlement of the Maryland action has been finally approved by the Maryland court. The parties to the Maryland action, the D.C. Federal Court action, and the D.C. Superior Court action have entered into, and filed with the Maryland court on May 25, 2010, an Amended Stipulation of Settlement, which provides for, among other things, settlement of all these actions.
We and the other defendants have vigorously denied all liability with respect to the facts and claims alleged in the actions. The settlements described above with counsel for these plaintiffs is not, and should not be construed as, an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any defendant. The parties considered it desirable that the actions be settled to avoid the expense, risk, inconvenience and distraction of continued litigation and to fully resolve the settled claims.
In addition, the Company is party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on Ares Capital in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such open legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect these matters will materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this Form 10-Q or would be required to be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2010, except as disclosed below.
On July 29, 2010, the Maryland court issued an order approving the settlement and dismissing all claims against the defendants in the Maryland action. On August 3, 2010, the D.C. Federal Court dismissed the D.C. Federal Court action. In addition, under the terms of the order issued in the Maryland action, the D.C. Superior Court action is expected to be dismissed.
On August 4, 2010, we exercised the accordion feature of the Revolving Credit Facility and increased the size of the facility by $25 million, bringing the total amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility to $775 million.

OVERVIEW
We are a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (a BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Investment Company Act). We were founded on April 16, 2004, were initially funded on June 23, 2004 and on October 8, 2004 completed our initial public offering.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component like warrants. To a lesser extent, we also make equity investments. Each of our equity investments has generally been less than $20 million, but may grow with our capital availability, and is usually made in conjunction with loans we make to these portfolio
companies. Also, as a result of the Allied Acquisition, Allied Capitals equity investments, including equity investments larger than those we have traditionally made and equity investments pursuant to which Allied Capital controlled a particular portfolio company, became part of our portfolio. We intend to actively seek opportunities over time to dispose of certain of these investments and rotate them into higher-yielding first and second lien senior loans and mezzanine debt investments. However, there can be no assurance that this strategy will be successful.
We are externally managed by Ares Capital Management, an affiliate of Ares Management, a global alternative asset manager and an SEC-registered investment adviser, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement. Ares Operations, an affiliate of Ares Management, provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.
As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in qualifying assets, including securities and indebtedness of private U.S. companies and certain public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.
The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (a RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, we generally will not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders provided that we satisfy those requirements.
Allied Acquisition
On April 1, 2010, we consummated the Allied Acquisition, an all stock merger where each existing share of common stock of Allied Capital was exchanged for 0.325 shares of our common stock. The Allied Acquisition was valued at approximately $908 million as of April 1, 2010. In connection therewith, we issued approximately 58.5 million shares of our common stock to Allied Capitals then-existing stockholders, thereby resulting in our then-existing stockholders owning approximately 69% of the combined company and then-existing Allied Capital stockholders owning approximately 31% of the combined company. Accordingly, although information presented herein as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 does include the results of operations and financial condition of the combined company, information presented herein as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 relates solely to Ares Capital, as it existed before the Allied Acquisition.

(1) New investment commitments include new agreements to fund revolving credit facilities or delayed draw loans.
(2) Number of new investments represents each commitment to a particular portfolio company.
(3) When we refer to the weighted average yield at fair value in this report, we compute it with respect to particular securities by taking the (a) annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount earned on accruing debt included in such securities, and dividing it by (b) total debt and income producing securities at fair value included in such securities. When we refer to the weighted average yield at amortized cost in this report, we compute it with respect to particular securities by taking the (a) annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount earned on accruing debt included in such securities, and dividing it by (b) total debt and income producing securities at amortized cost included in such securities.
(4) Excludes investments acquired as a part of the Allied Acquisition on April 1, 2010.
The investment adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our investment adviser grades the risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e. at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio companys business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. Under this system, investments with a grade of 4 involve the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this
investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit. Investments graded 3 involve a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing as expected and the risk factors to our ability to ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 3. Investments graded 2 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and non- compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not more than 120 days past due. An investment grade of 1 indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 1, most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 1, it is not anticipated that we will be repaid in an amount equal to our full initial cost basis. For investments graded 1 or 2, our investment adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company.
Ares Capital assigned a fair value as of April 1, 2010 to each of the portfolio investments acquired in connection with the Allied Acquisition. Grades on each investment were initially assessed a grade of 3 (i.e., generally the grade we assign a portfolio company at acquisition), reflecting the relative risk to our initial cost basis of such investments. The initial cost basis of each investment acquired in connection with the Allied Acquisition was equal to the fair value of such investment as of April 1, 2010. Many of these portfolio investments were assigned a fair value reflecting a significant discount to Allied Capitals cost basis at the time of Allied Capitals origination or acquisition. It is important to note that our grading system does not take into account factors or events in respect of the period from when Allied Capital originated or acquired such portfolio investments or the current status of these portfolio investments in terms of compliance with debt facilities, financial performance and similar factors. Rather, it is only intended to measure risk from the time that Ares Capital acquired the portfolio investment in connection with the Allied Acquisition. Accordingly, it is possible that the grade of certain of these portfolio investments may be reduced or increased in the future.
Set forth below is the distribution of our portfolio companies as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (dollar amounts in thousands).

Base and incentive management fees increased $11.2 million, or 74%, to $26.7 million from $15.4 million in total for the comparable period in 2009, primarily due to the increase in investments and the related interest income on those investments as a result of the Allied Acquisition, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to the assumption of the Unsecured Notes in the Allied Acquisition.

Income Tax Expense, Including Excise Tax
The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Among other things, the Company has, in order to maintain its RIC status, made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. Federal income taxes.
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded no amounts for U.S. Federal excise tax. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded no amounts for U.S. Federal excise tax. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized $0.1 million of benefits for U.S. Federal excise tax.
Certain of our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal and state income taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a tax expense of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for these subsidiaries, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a tax expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for these subsidiaries.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since the Companys inception, the Companys liquidity and capital resources have been generated primarily from the net proceeds of public offerings of common stock, the Debt Securitization and advances from the combined CP Funding Facility (and its predecessors) and Revolving Credit Facility, each as defined below (together, the Facilities), as well as cash flows from operations.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $139 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.2 billion in total indebtedness outstanding at carrying value ($1.3 billion at principal amount). Subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, the Company had approximately $807 million available for additional borrowings under the Facilities and Debt Securitization as of June 30, 2010.

As required by the Investment Company Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of June 30, 2010, our asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 318%.
CP Funding Facilities
In October 2004, we formed Ares Capital CP Funding LLC (Ares Capital CP), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, through which we established a revolving facility (as amended, the CP Funding Facility) that, as amended, allowed Ares Capital CP to issue up to $350 million of variable funding certificates (VFC). On May 7, 2009, the Company and Ares Capital CP entered into an amendment that, among other things, converted the CP Funding Facility from a revolving facility to an amortizing facility, extended the maturity from July 21, 2009 to May 7, 2012 and reduced the availability from $350 million to $225 million.
On July 21, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Wachovia Bank N.A. (Wachovia) to establish a new revolving facility (the CP Funding II Facility) whereby Wachovia agreed to extend credit to us in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $200 million at any one time outstanding. Prior to its combination with the CP Funding Facility, the CP Funding II Facility was scheduled to expire on July 21, 2012.
On January 22, 2010, we combined the CP Funding Facility with the CP Funding II Facility into a single $400 million revolving securitized facility (the combined CP Funding Facility). In connection with the combination, we terminated the CP Funding II Facility and entered into an Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement with Ares Capital CP Funding Holdings LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (CP Holdings), pursuant to which we may sell to CP Holdings certain loans that we have originated or acquired, or will originate or acquire (the Loans) from time to time, which CP Holdings will subsequently sell to Ares Capital CP, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CP Holdings. The combined CP Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by, and the membership interest in, Ares Capital CP. The combined CP Funding Facility, among other things, extends the maturity date of the facility to January 22, 2013 (with two one-year extension options, subject to mutual consent). Prior to January 22, 2010, the interest rate charged on the CP Funding Facility was the commercial paper rate plus 3.50%. After January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, the interest charged on the combined CP Funding Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.25% and 3.75% or on a base rate (which is the higher of a prime rate, or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus an applicable spread of between 1.25% to 2.75%, in each case, based on a pricing grid depending upon our credit rating. Additionally, we are required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 2.00% depending on the usage level on any unused portion of the combined CP Funding Facility.
As of June 30, 2010, the principal amount outstanding under the combined CP Funding Facility was $205 million and the Company continues to be in material compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the CP Funding Facility. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for more detail on the combined CP Funding Facility.
Revolving Credit Facility
In December 2005, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the Revolving Credit Facility), under which, as amended, the lenders agreed to extend credit to the Company. On January 22, 2010, we entered into an agreement to amend and restate the Revolving Credit Facility. The amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Facility, among other things, increased the size of the facility from $525 million to $690 million (comprised of $615 million in commitments on a stand-alone basis and an additional $75 million in commitments contingent upon the closing of the Allied Acquisition), extended the maturity date from December 28, 2010 to January 22, 2013 and modified pricing. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that allows, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of $1.05 billion. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we exercised this accordion feature and increased the size of the facility by $60 million to bring the total facility size to $750 million. As of June 30, 2010, there was $153 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Company continues to be in material compliance with all of the limitations and requirements of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Prior to January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, pricing on the Revolving Credit Facility was based on LIBOR plus 1.00% or on an alternate base rate (which was the highest of a prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or one month LIBOR plus 1.00%). After January 22, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, pricing under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread of between 2.50% and 4.00% or on the alternate base rate plus an applicable spread of between 1.50% and 3.00%, in each case, based on a pricing grid depending upon our credit rating. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for more detail on the Revolving Credit Facility.
Debt Securitization
In July 2006, through ARCC Commercial Loan Trust 2006, a vehicle serviced by our wholly owned subsidiary, ARCC CLO 2006 LLC (ARCC CLO), we completed a $400 million debt securitization (the Debt Securitization) and issued approximately $314 million principal amount of asset-backed notes (including revolving notes in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, $35.4 million of which were drawn down as of June 30, 2010) (the CLO Notes) to third parties that were secured by a pool of middle market loans that have been purchased or originated by the Company. The CLO Notes are included in the June 30, 2010 consolidated balance sheet. We retained approximately $86 million of aggregate principal amount of certain BBB and non-rated securities in the Debt Securitization. During the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased $34.8 million of other certain CLO notes, bringing our total holdings of CLO Notes to $120.8 million (the Retained Notes). During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we repaid $59.4 million of the CLO Notes.
The CLO Notes mature on December 20, 2019 and have a blended pricing of LIBOR plus 0.33%. As of June 30, 2010, there was $214 million outstanding under the Debt Securitization (excluding the Retained Notes). See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for more detail on the Debt Securitization.
Publicly Issued Unsecured Notes Payable
As part of the Allied Acquisition, the Company assumed all outstanding debt obligations of Allied Capital, including Allied Capitals publicly issued unsecured notes which consisted of 6.625% Notes due on July 15, 2011 (the 2011 Notes), 6.000% Notes due on April 1, 2012 (the 2012 Notes) and 6.875% Notes due on April 15, 2047 (the 2047 Notes and, together with the 2011 Notes and the 2012 Notes, the Unsecured Notes).

The 2011 Notes and the 2012 Notes require payment of interest semi-annually, and all principal is due upon maturity. The Company has the option to redeem these notes in whole or in part, together with a redemption premium, as stipulated in the notes.
The 2047 Notes require payment of interest quarterly, and all principal is due upon maturity. These notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after April 15, 2012, at par and upon the occurrence of certain tax events as stipulated in the notes.
In addition, the Company may purchase the Unsecured Notes in the market to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company purchased $5 million of the 2011 Notes and $5 million of the 2012 Notes. As a result of these transactions a realized loss of $0.4 million was recognized during the period.
In addition, as of June 30, 2010, we had a long-term counterparty credit rating from Standard & Poors Ratings Service of BBB, a long-term issuer default rating from Fitch Ratings of BBB and a long-term issuer rating of Ba1 from Moodys Investor Service.
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are computed using the specific identification method. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, we look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of our investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period, and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 50% (based on value) of our valuations of portfolio companies without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter.
As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (an estimate of the total fair value of the portfolio companys debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio companys securities to publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.
Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms, under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.
In addition, changes in the market environment, such as inflation, and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than would be realized based on the valuations currently assigned. See the factors set forth in Risk Factors included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, including the Risk Factor entitled Risk FactorsRisks Relating to our InvestmentsPrice declines and illiquidity in the corporate debt markets have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the fair value of our portfolio investments, reducing our net asset value through increased net unrealized depreciation.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
· Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with our portfolio management team.
· Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with the entire investment portfolio and management team, and then valuation recommendations are presented to the board of directors.
· The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these preliminary valuations, as well as the input of independent valuation firms with respect to the valuations of approximately 50% (based on value) of our portfolio companies without readily available market quotations.
· The board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157)), which expands the application of fair value accounting for investments (see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements). Investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-10 (previously SFAS No. 141(R)), Business Combinations , which requires that all assets be recorded at fair value. As a result, the initial amortized cost basis and fair value for the acquired investments were the same value at April 1, 2010.

Of the total net adjusted unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2010, $86.4 are from commitments for investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition. Also, of the total commitments as of June 30, 2010, $400.9 extend beyond the maturity date for our Revolving Credit Facility. Included within the total commitments as of June 30, 2010 are commitments to issue up to $19.9 in standby letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. Under these arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $11.9 in standby letters of credit issued and outstanding on behalf of the portfolio companies, of which no amounts were recorded as a liability on the balance sheet as they are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company. Of these letters of credit, $0.3 expire in August 2010, $2.3 expire in September 2010, $0.3 expire in December 2010, $0.8 expire in January 2011, and $8.2 expire in February 2011.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company was a party to subscription agreements to fund equity investments in private equity investment partnerships. The Companys obligation to fund these commitments are substantially all at the discretion of the Company as follows (in millions):

As of June 30, 2010, one of the Companys portfolio companies, Ciena Capital LLC (Ciena), had one non-recourse securitization Small Business Administration (SBA) loan warehouse facility, which has reached its maturity date but remains outstanding. Ciena is working with the providers of the SBA loan warehouse facility with regard to the repayment of that facility. Allied Capital had previously issued a performance guaranty (which Ares Capital succeeded to as a result of the Allied Acquisition) whereby Ares Capital must indemnify the warehouse providers for any damages, losses, liabilities and related costs and expenses that they may incur as a result of Cienas failure to perform any of its obligations as loan originator, loan seller or loan servicer under the warehouse facility. As of June 30, 2010, there are no known issues or claims with respect to this performance guaranty.
See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the Companys commitment to the Senior Secured Loan Fund.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On August 4, 2010, we exercised the accordion feature of the Revolving Credit Facility and increased the size of the facility by $25 million, bringing the total amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility to $775 million.
As of August 4, 2010, we had made new investment commitments of $138 million, all of which were funded, since June 30, 2010. Of these new investment commitments, 80% were in investments in subordinated notes of the Senior Secured Loan Fund, 18% were in first lien senior secured debt and 2% were in equity securities. Of the $138 million of new investment commitments, 80% were fixed rate with a weighted average yield at amortized cost of 20% and 18% were floating rate with a weighted average spread at amortized cost of 7.5%.
As of August 4, 2010, we had exited $81 million of investments since June 30, 2010. Of these investments, 95% were in first lien senior secured debt, 3% were in senior subordinated debt and 2% were in second lien senior secured debt. Of the $81 million of investments, 60% were in fixed rate investments with a weighted average yield at amortized cost of 13%. Of the remaining investments, 27% were in floating rate investments with a weighted average spread at amortized cost of 4% and 13% were investments on non-accrual status. Also, of the $81 million of investments exited since June 30, 2010, $66 million were investments acquired as part of the Allied Acquisition.
In addition, as of August 4, 2010, we had an investment backlog and pipeline of $376 million and $355 million, respectively. We may syndicate a portion of these investments and commitments to third parties. The consummation of any of the investments in this backlog and pipeline depends upon, among other things: satisfactory completion of our due diligence investigation of the prospective portfolio company, our acceptance of the terms and structure of such investment and the execution and delivery of satisfactory transaction documentation. We cannot assure you that we will make any of these investments or that we will syndicate any portion of such investments and commitments.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
As of June 30, 2010, approximately 52% of the investments at fair value in our portfolio were at fixed rates while approximately 24% were at variable rates and 24% were non-interest earning. Additionally, as of June 30, 2010, 14% of the investments at fair value or 57% of the investments at fair value with variable rates contain interest rate floors. The Debt Securitization, the CP Funding Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility all bear interest at variable rates while the Unsecured Notes bear interest at fixed rates.
We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.
In October 2008, we entered into a two-year interest rate swap agreement for a total notional amount of $75 million. Under the interest rate swap agreement, we will pay a fixed interest rate of 2.985% and receive a floating rate based on the prevailing three-month LIBOR.
While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments.
Based on our June 30, 2010 balance sheet, the following table shows the annual impact on net income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure and reflecting the effect of our interest rate swap agreement described above and in Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements (in millions):

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our President and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The following information supplements and amends the discussion set forth under Part 1, Item 3 Legal Proceedings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,2009, as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. As previously reported, a number of lawsuits have been filed in the Maryland state courts and the federal and Superior Court for the District of Columbia by stockholders of Allied Capital challenging the Allied Acquisition. These include: (1) In re Allied Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation, Case No. 322639V (Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland) (the Maryland action); (2) Sandler v. Walton, et al., Case No. 2009 CA 008123 B (Superior Court for the District of Columbia), which was consolidated with Wienecki v. Allied Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 2009 CA 008541 B (Superior Court for the District of Columbia) (the D.C. Superior Court action); and (3) Ryan v. Walton, et al., Case No. 1:10-CV-000145-RMC (United States District Court for the District of Columbia) (the D.C. Federal Court action). The suits were filed after the entry by the Company, Allied Capital and ARCC Odyssey Corp. (Merger Sub) into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) and the announcement of the Allied Acquisition on October 26, 2009, either as putative stockholder class actions, shareholder derivative actions or both. All of the actions asserted similar claims against the members of Allied Capitals Board of Directors alleging that the Merger Agreement was the product of a flawed sales process and that Allied Capitals directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to a structure that was not designed to maximize the value of Allied Capitals stockholders, by failing to adequately value and obtain fair consideration for Allied Capitals shares and by improperly rejecting competing offers by Prospect Capital Corporation. They also claimed that the Company (and, in several cases, Merger Sub, and, in several other cases, Allied Capital) aided and abetted the directors alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. In addition, in Ryan v. Walton, et al., the plaintiffs also alleged violations of Rule 14a-9(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All of the actions demanded, among other things, a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining the merger and rescinding the transaction or any part thereof that may be implemented.
On March 2, 2010, the plaintiffs in the Maryland action, Allied Capital and the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle the Maryland action on terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth in a Stipulation of Settlement dated March
17, 2010. Although the Company and Allied Capital believed that the disclosures already provided were thorough and complete, in connection with the settlement we and Allied Capital agreed to make certain additional disclosures that are contained in the Supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement, dated March 8, 2010, and to pay counsel for the plaintiffs in the Maryland action certain of their fees and expenses. The settlement is subject to final settlement documentation and approval by the Maryland court, after, among other things, notice is provided to the stockholders of Allied Capital.
On March 19, 2010, the plaintiffs in the D.C. Federal Court action, Allied Capital and the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle the D.C. Federal Court action. On April 15, 2010, the plaintiffs in the D.C. Superior Court action, Allied Capital and Ares Capital reached an agreement in principle to settle the D.C. Superior Court action. The D.C. Federal Court action and the D.C. Superior Court action were stayed on March 22, 2010 and March 26, 2010, respectively, in contemplation of dismissal with prejudice once the settlement of the Maryland action has been finally approved by the Maryland court. The parties to the Maryland action, the D.C. Federal Court action, and the D.C. Superior Court action have entered into, and filed with the Maryland court on May 25, 2010, an Amended Stipulation of Settlement, which provides for, among other things, settlement of all these actions.
On July 29, 2010, the Maryland court issued an order approving the settlement and dismissing all claims against the defendants in the Maryland action. On August 3, 2010, the D.C. Federal Court dismissed the D.C. Federal Court action. In addition, under the terms of the order issued in the Maryland action, the D.C. Superior Court action is expected to be dismissed.
We and the other defendants have vigorously denied all liability with respect to the facts and claims alleged in the actions. The settlement is not, and should not be construed as, an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any defendant. The parties considered it desirable that the actions be settled to avoid the expense, risk, inconvenience and distraction of continued litigation and to fully resolve the settled claims.
In addition, the Company is party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on Ares Capital in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such open legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect these matters will materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
We did not sell any securities during the period covered in this report that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
We did not repurchase any shares issued during the period covered in this report.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
Not applicable.
None.

ARES CAPITAL CORPORATION
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS, AS AMENDED
ARTICLE I
OFFICES
Section 1. PRINCIPAL OFFICE . The principal office of the Corporation in the State of Maryland shall be located at such place as the Board of Directors may designate.
Section 2. ADDITIONAL OFFICES . The Corporation may have additional offices, including a principal executive office, at such places as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.
ARTICLE II
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 . 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 the date and at the time set by the Board of Directors.
Section 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS .
(a) General . Any Chairman of the Board, 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 to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders 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 (the Record Date Request Notice) to the Secretary 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 and each matter proposed to be acted on at the meeting that would be required to be disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or would otherwise be required in connection with such a solicitation, 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 to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders, one or more written requests for a special meeting (collectively, the Special Meeting Request) 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 of all of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting (the Special Meeting Percentage) shall be delivered to the Secretary. In addition, the Special Meeting Request shall (a) 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) bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) signing the Special Meeting Request, (c) set forth (i) the name and address, as they appear in the Corporations books, of each stockholder signing such request (or on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is signed), (ii) the class, series and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation that are owned (beneficially or of record) by such stockholder and (iii) if any shares of stock of the Corporation are owned beneficially but not of record by such stockholder, the nominee holder for, and number of, such shares of such stock, (d) be sent to the Secretary by registered mail, return receipt requested and (e) 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 delivering the notice of the meeting (including the Corporations 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 preparation and mailing or delivery of such notice of the meeting.
(4) 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); 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; 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, a Chairman of the Board, the President or the Board of Directors may consider such factors as he, she or it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding any request for the 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: (i) if the notice of meeting has not already been delivered, the Secretary shall refrain from delivering the notice of the meeting and send to all requesting stockholders who have not revoked such requests written notice of any revocation of the Special Meeting Request or (ii) if the notice of meeting has been delivered and if the Secretary first sends to all requesting stockholders who have not revoked such Special Meeting Request written notice of any revocation of the Special Meeting Request and written notice of the Corporations intention to revoke the notice of the meeting or for the chairman of the meeting to adjourn the meeting without action on the matter, (A) the Secretary may revoke the notice of the meeting at any time before ten days before the commencement of the meeting or (B) the chairman of the meeting may call the meeting to order and adjourn the meeting without acting on the matter. 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, a 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 Special Meeting 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, stockholders of record entitled to cast 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).
(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 notice in writing or by electronic transmission stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required by any law, the purpose for which the meeting is called, by (i) mail, (ii) presenting it to such stockholder personally, (iii) leaving it at the stockholders residence or usual place of business or (iv) any other means permitted by Maryland law, including electronic transmission as set forth below. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at the stockholders address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. If transmitted electronically, such notice shall be deemed to be given when transmitted to the stockholder by an electronic transmission to any address or number of the stockholder at which the stockholder receives electronic transmissions. A single notice to all stockholders who share an address shall be effective as to any stockholder at such address (i) who affirmatively consents in writing to such notice or (ii) if such stockholder has the same last name as all other stockholders at such shared address to whom the Corporation proposes to give a single notice or the Corporation reasonably believes that all stockholders at such address are members of the same family and after having been notified of the Corporations intent to give a single notice the stockholder fails to object in writing to such single notice within 60 days. 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 law 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. Notice of the date to which the meeting is postponed shall be given not less than ten days prior to such date and otherwise in the manner set forth in this section.
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 a Chairman of the Board or Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or, in the case of a vacancy in the office or absence of a Chairman of the Board or Vice Chairman of the Board, one of the following officers present at the meeting: the President, any Vice President, the Chief Compliance Officer, 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 Secretarys 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 actions 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 and 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 and for how long the polls should be opened and when the polls should be 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 (whether or not a quorum is present) 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.
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 law, 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 law 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 may 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. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, 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 at which a quorum has been established, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Section 7. VOTING . Directors shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. 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 law, including, without limitation, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder (the Investment Company Act), or by the charter of the Corporation. Unless otherwise provided by law or by 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. Voting on any question or in any election may be viva voce unless the chairman of the meeting shall order that voting be by ballot.
Section 8. PROXIES . A stockholder may cast the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of stock owned of record by the stockholder in person or by proxy executed by the stockholder or by the stockholders duly authorized agent in any manner permitted by law. Such proxy or evidence of authorization of such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary before or at the meeting. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven months after its date unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
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 in his or her capacity 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

The Corporation may issue some or all of the shares of any or all of the Corporations classes or series of stock without certificates if authorized by the Board of Directors. In the event that the Corporation issues shares of stock represented by certificates, such certificates shall be in such form as prescribed by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized officer, shall contain the statements and information required by the MGCL and shall be signed by the officers of the Corporation in the manner permitted by the MGCL. In the event that the Corporation issues shares of stock without certificates, to the extent then required by the MGCL, the Corporation shall provide to the record holders of such shares a written statement of the information required by the MGCL to be included on stock certificates. There shall be no differences in the rights and obligations of stockholders based on whether or not their shares are represented by certificates. If a class or series of stock is authorized by the Board of Directors to be issued without certificates, no stockholder shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates representing any shares of such class or series of stock held by such stockholder unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors and then only upon written request by such stockholder to the secretary of the Corporation.
Section 2. TRANSFERS . All transfers of shares of stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation, by the record holder of the shares, in person or by his or her attorney, in such manner as the Board of Directors or any officer of the Corporation may prescribe and, if such shares are certificated, upon surrender of certificates duly endorsed. The issuance of a new certificate upon the transfer of certificated shares is subject to the determination of the Board of Directors that such shares shall no longer be represented by certificates. Upon the transfer of uncertificated shares, to the extent then required by the MGCL, the Corporation shall provide to the record holders of such shares a written statement of the information required by the MGCL to be included on stock certificates.
The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share of stock as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Maryland.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of shares of any class or series of stock will be subject in all respects to the charter of the Corporation and all of the terms and conditions contained therein.
Section 3. REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATE . Any officer of the Corporation may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated; provided, however, if such shares have ceased to be certificated, no new certificate shall be issued unless requested in writing by such stockholder and the Board of Directors has determined that such certificates may be issued. Unless otherwise determined by an officer of the Corporation, the owner of such lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, shall be required, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, to give the Corporation a bond in such sums as the Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it.
Section 4. FIXING OF RECORD DATE . The Board of Directors may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any other rights, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than 90 days and, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten days, before the date on which the meeting or particular action requiring such determination of stockholders of record is to be held or taken.
When a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been set as provided in this section, such record date shall continue to apply to the meeting if adjourned or postponed, except if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days or postponed to a date more than 90 days after the record date originally fixed for the meeting, in which case a new record date for such meeting shall be determined as set forth herein.
Section 5. STOCK LEDGER . The Corporation shall maintain at its principal office or at the office of its counsel, accountants or transfer agent, an original or duplicate stock ledger containing the name and address of each stockholder and the number of shares of each class held by such stockholder.
Section 6. FRACTIONAL STOCK; ISSUANCE OF UNITS . The Board of Directors may issue fractional stock or provide for the issuance of scrip, all on such terms and under such conditions as they may determine. Notwithstanding any other provision of the charter or these Bylaws, the Board of Directors may issue units consisting of different securities of the Corporation. Any security issued in a unit shall have the same characteristics as any identical securities issued by the Corporation, except that the Board of Directors may provide that for a specified period securities of the Corporation issued in such unit may be transferred on the books of the Corporation only in such unit.
ARTICLE VIII
ACCOUNTING YEAR
The Board of Directors shall have the power, from time to time, to fix the fiscal year of the Corporation by a duly adopted resolution.
ARTICLE IX
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 1. AUTHORIZATION . Dividends and other distributions upon the stock of the Corporation may be authorized by the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of law and the charter of the Corporation. Dividends and other distributions may be paid in cash, property or stock of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of applicable law and the charter.
Section 2. CONTINGENCIES . Before payment of any dividends or other distributions, there may be set aside out of any assets of the Corporation available for dividends or other distributions such sum or sums as the Board of Directors may from time to time, in its absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve fund for contingencies, for equalizing dividends, for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation or for such other purpose as the Board of Directors shall determine, and the Board of Directors may modify, in its absolute discretion, or abolish any such reserve.
ARTICLE X
SEAL
Section 1. SEAL . The Board of Directors may authorize the adoption of a seal by the Corporation. Any such seal shall contain the name of the Corporation and the year of its incorporation and the words Incorporated Maryland. The Board of Directors may authorize one or more duplicate seals and provide for the custody thereof.
Section 2. AFFIXING SEAL . Whenever the Corporation is permitted or required to affix its seal to a document, it shall be sufficient to meet the requirements of any law, rule or regulation relating to a seal to place the word (SEAL) adjacent to the signature of the person authorized to execute the document on behalf of the Corporation.
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 any individual who (a) 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) 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 another 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 rights to indemnification and advance of expenses provided by the charter of the Corporation and these Bylaws shall vest immediately upon election of a director or officer. 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 or reimbursement 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 or reimbursement 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.
ARTICLE XII
WAIVER OF NOTICE
Whenever any notice of a meeting 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 or by electronic transmission, given 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 law. 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.
ARTICLE XIII
INSPECTION OF RECORDS
A stockholder that is otherwise eligible under applicable law to inspect the Corporations books of account, stock ledger, or other specified documents of the Corporation shall have no right to make such inspection if the Board of Directors determines that such stockholder has an improper purpose for requesting such inspection.
ARTICLE XIV
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT
If and to the extent that any provision of the MGCL, including, without limitation, Subtitle 6 and, if then applicable, Subtitle 7, of Title 3 of the MGCL, or any provision of the charter or these Bylaws conflicts with any provision of the Investment Company Act applicable to the Corporation, the applicable provision of the Investment Company Act shall control.
ARTICLE XV
AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS
The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of these Bylaws and to make new Bylaws.
