ClearBridge Energy Midstream Opportunity Fund Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, certifies to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland that:

FIRST: Under a power contained in Article V of the charter of the Company (which, as restated, amended or supplemented from time to time, together with these Articles Supplementary, is referred to herein as the “Charter”), the Board of Directors by duly adopted resolutions classified and designated 140 shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock as shares of a new series of Preferred Stock designated as Series H Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share, liquidation preference $100,000.00 per share, with the following preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption, which, upon any restatement of the Charter, shall become part of Article V of the Charter, with any necessary or appropriate renumbering or relettering of the sections or subsections hereof.

MRP SHARES

DESIGNATION

Preferred Stock: 140 shares of Common Stock are classified and designated as Series H Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share, liquidation preference $100,000.00 per share (the “Series H MRP Shares” or the “MRP Shares”).

The initial Dividend Period for the Series H MRP Shares shall be the period from and including November 15, 2022 thereof to and excluding February 15, 2023. Each Series H MRP Share will have a dividend rate equal to 4.26% per annum. Each Series H MRP Share shall have such other preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption, in addition to those required by applicable law, as are set forth herein. The Series H MRP Shares shall constitute a separate series of Preferred Stock.

As used herein, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in Section 12 hereof.

SECTION 1. NUMBEROF SHARES; RANKING.

(a) The number of authorized Series H MRP Shares is 140 shares. No fractional MRP Shares shall be issued.

(b) Any MRP Shares which at any time have been redeemed or purchased by the Company shall, after redemption or purchase, be returned to the status of authorized but unissued Common Stock of the Company, until reclassified by the Board of Directors.

(c) The MRP Shares shall rank on a parity with shares of any other class or series of Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends or interest to which the shares are entitled and the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company.

(d) No Holder of MRP Shares shall have, solely by reason of being a Holder, any preemptive right, or, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, other right to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any MRP Shares, Common Stock or other securities of the Company which it may hereafter issue or sell.

SECTION 2. DIVIDENDS.

(a) The Holders of MRP Shares shall be entitled to receive quarterly cumulative cash dividends, when, as and if authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Company, out of funds legally available therefor, at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate (or the Default Rate), and no more, payable on the respective dates determined as set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 2. Dividends on Outstanding MRP Shares shall accumulate from and including November 15, 2022.

(b) (i) Dividends shall be payable quarterly when, as and if authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Company beginning on the initial Dividend Payment Date, on MRP Shares, and with respect to any Dividend Period thereafter on the next Dividend Payment Date.

(ii) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company shall pay an aggregate amount of federal funds or similar same-day funds, equal to the dividends to be paid to all Holders of such shares on such Dividend Payment Date in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall not be required to establish any reserves for the payment of dividends.

(iii) Each dividend on MRP Shares shall be paid on the Dividend Payment Date therefor to the Holders as their names appear on the stock ledger or stock records of the Company at the close of business on the fifth (5th) day prior to the Quarterly Dividend Date (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day). Dividends in arrears for any past Dividend Period may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to the Holders as their names appear on the share ledger or share records of the Company at the close of business on a date, not exceeding 5 days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. No interest will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments which may be in arrears.

(c) (i) So long as any series of the MRP Shares are rated on any date no less than “A” by Kroll (and no less than an equivalent of such ratings by some Other Rating Agency), the dividend rate on such series of Outstanding MRP Shares (the “Dividend Rate”) shall be the Applicable Rate. If the lowest credit rating assigned on any date to any series of MRP Shares by Kroll or any Other Rating Agency is equal to one of the ratings set forth in the table below (or its equivalent by some Other Rating Agency), the Dividend Rate for such series of MRP Shares shall be adjusted by adding the respective enhanced dividend amount (which shall not be cumulative) set opposite such rating (or the equivalent rating from any Other Rating Agency) to the Applicable Rate.

2

The Company shall, at all times, use its reasonable best efforts to cause at least one NRSRO to maintain a current rating on each series of the MRP Shares. If, notwithstanding the foregoing requirements of this Section 2(c)(i), no Rating Agency is rating a series of Outstanding MRP Shares, the Dividend Rate (so long as no such rating exists) on such series of Outstanding MRP Shares shall be equal to the Applicable Rate plus 4.0% unless the Dividend Rate is the Default Rate, in which case the Dividend Rate shall remain the Default Rate.

(ii) Subject to the cure provisions below, a “Default Period” will commence on any Dividend Payment Date or any date on which the Company would be required to redeem any MRP Shares regardless of whether any of the conditions of the Special Proviso in Section 3(a)(iv) were applicable, if the Company either-fails to pay directly in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement or, in the case of clause (B) below, fails to deposit irrevocably in trust in federal funds or similar funds, with the Paying Agent by 1:00 pm, New York City time, (A) the full amount of any dividend payable on the Dividend Payment Date (a “Dividend Default”) or (B) the full amount of any redemption price payable with respect to any redemption required hereunder regardless of whether any of the conditions of the Special Proviso exists (the “Redemption Date”) (a “Redemption Default,” and together with a Dividend Default, is hereinafter referred to as “Default”). Subject to the cure provisions of Section 2(c)(iii) below, a Default Period with respect to a Dividend Default or a Redemption Default shall end on the Business Day on which, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, all unpaid dividends and any unpaid redemption price shall have been directly paid in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. In the case of a Default, the Dividend Rate for each day during the Default Period will be equal to the Default Rate.

(iii) No Default Period with respect to a Dividend Default or Redemption Default (if such default is not solely due to the willful failure of the Company) shall be deemed to commence if the amount of any dividend or any redemption price due is paid in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement within three Business Days (the “Default Rate Cure Period”) after the applicable Dividend Payment Date or Redemption Date, together with an amount equal to the Default Rate applied to the amount of such non-payment based on the actual number of days within the Default Rate Cure Period divided by 360.

(iv) The amount of dividends per share payable on each Dividend Payment Date of each Dividend Period shall be computed by multiplying the Applicable Rate (or the Default Rate) for such Dividend Period by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be 90

3

and the denominator of which shall be 360, multiplying the amount so obtained by the liquidation preference per MRP Share, and rounding the amount so obtained to the nearest cent. Dividends payable on any MRP Shares for any period of less than a full quarterly Dividend Period, including in connection with the first Dividend Period or upon any redemption of such shares on any date other than on a Dividend Payment Date, shall be computed by multiplying the Applicable Rate (or the Default Rate) for such period by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the actual number of days in such period and the denominator of which shall be 360, multiplying the amount so obtained by the liquidation preference per MRP Share, and rounding the amount so obtained to the nearest cent.

(d) Any dividend payment made on MRP Shares shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividends due with respect to such MRP Shares.

(e) For so long as the MRP Shares are Outstanding, except as contemplated herein, the Company will not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or other shares of capital stock, if any, ranking junior to the MRP Shares as to dividends or upon liquidation) with respect to Common Stock or any other shares of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the MRP Shares as to dividends or upon liquidation, or call for redemption, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Common Stock or any other such junior shares (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of the Company ranking junior to the MRP Shares as to dividends and upon liquidation) or any such parity shares (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the MRP Shares as to dividends and upon liquidation), unless (1) immediately after such transaction the MRP Shares Asset Coverage would be achieved and the Company would satisfy the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount, (2) full cumulative dividends on the MRP Shares due on or prior to the date of the transaction have been declared and paid, and (3) the Company has redeemed the full number of MRP Shares required to be redeemed by any provision for mandatory redemption contained in Section 3(a) (without regard to the provisions of the Special Proviso).

SECTION 3. REDEMPTION.

(a) (i) The Company may, at its option, redeem in whole or in part out of funds legally available therefor, MRP Shares at any time and from time to time, upon not less than 20 days nor more than 40 days notice as provided below, at the sum of (A) the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount (as defined herein) plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions on the MRP Shares (whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest thereon), to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, plus (B) the Make-Whole Amount (which in no event shall be less than zero); provided, however, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series H MRP Shares within 180 days prior to the Term Redemption Date of the series being so redeemed at the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions thereon (whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest thereon) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not give a notice of or effect any redemption pursuant to this Section 3(a)(i) unless (in the case of any partial redemption of MRP Shares), on the date on which the Company intends to give such notice and on the date of redemption, the Company would satisfy

4

the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount and the MRP Shares Asset Coverage is greater than or equal to 225% immediately subsequent to such redemption, if such redemption were to occur on such date.

(ii) In addition to subparagraph (a)(i) of this Section, if the MRP Shares Asset Coverage is greater than 225%, but less than or equal to 235%, for any five Business Days within a ten-Business Day period, determined on the basis of values calculated as of a time within 48 hours (not including Sundays or holidays) next preceding the time of such determination within the ten-Business Day period, the Company, upon not less than 12 days nor more than 40 days notice as provided below, may redeem the MRP Shares at the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions thereon (whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest thereon) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, plus a redemption amount equal to 2% of the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount. The amount of MRP Shares that may be redeemed under this provision shall not exceed an amount of MRP Shares which results in a MRP Shares Asset Coverage of more than 250% pro forma for such redemption, determined on the basis of values calculated as of a time within 48 hours (not including Sundays or holidays) next preceding the time of such determination.

(iii) If the Company fails to maintain on any Valuation Date (1) the MRP Shares Asset Coverage as of any Valuation Date or (2) the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount as of any Valuation Date (any such day, a “Asset Coverage Cure Date”), the Company shall, subject to Section 3(a)(iv), redeem the MRP Shares at the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions thereon (whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest thereon) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, plus a redemption amount equal to 1% of the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount. The number of MRP Shares to be redeemed in such circumstances will be equal to the product of (A) the quotient of the number of Outstanding MRP Shares divided by the aggregate number of outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company (including the MRP Shares) which have an asset coverage test greater than or equal to 225% times (B) the minimum number of outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company (including the MRP Shares) the redemption of which would result in the Company satisfying the MRP Shares Asset Coverage and MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount as of a date that is no more than 30 days after an Asset Coverage Cure Date (the “Cure Date”) (provided that, if there is no such number of MRP Shares the redemption of which would have such result, the Company shall, subject to Section 3(a)(iv), redeem all MRP Shares then Outstanding). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company satisfies the MRP Shares Asset Coverage and MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount as of the Cure Date before taking into account any redemptions of Preferred Stock, the Company shall not be obligated to redeem any Preferred Stock under this Section 3(a)(iii). The asset coverage in respect of the MRP Shares provided for in this Section 3(a)(iii) shall be determined on the basis of values calculated as of a time within 48 hours (not including Sundays or holidays) next preceding the time of such determination.

(iv) In determining the MRP Shares to be redeemed in accordance with the foregoing Section 3(a), the Company shall allocate the number of shares to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 3 pro rata among the Holders of MRP Shares in proportion to the

5

number of shares they hold, provided, that in the event of any redemption of a series of MRP Shares pursuant to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 3(a)(i), such redemption shall be pro-rata with respect to the series being redeemed. The Company shall effect any redemption pursuant to subparagraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3 no later than 40 calendar days after the Asset Coverage Cure Date (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), provided, that if the Company (1) does not have funds legally available for the redemption of, or (2) is not permitted under any of the Credit Agreement, any agreement or instrument consented to by the holders of a 1940 Act Majority of the Outstanding Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(f)(iii) or the note purchase agreements or indentures relating to the EMO Notes to redeem, or (3) is not otherwise legally permitted to redeem, the number of MRP Shares which would be required to be redeemed by the Company under subparagraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3 if sufficient funds were available, together with shares of other Preferred Stock which are subject to mandatory redemption under provisions similar to those contained in this Section 3 (the foregoing provisions of clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this proviso being referred to as the “Special Proviso”), the Company shall redeem those MRP Shares, and other Preferred Stock which it was unable to redeem, on the earliest practicable date on which the Company will have such funds available and is otherwise not prohibited from redeeming pursuant to the Credit Agreement, such agreement or instrument consented to by the holders of a 1940 Act Majority of the Outstanding Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(f)(iii) or the note purchase agreements relating to the EMO Notes or other applicable laws, upon notice pursuant to Section 3(b) to record owners of the MRP Shares to be redeemed and the Paying Agent. At the Company’s election, the Company either will make a direct payment to the Holders of the MRP Shares or deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the specified number of MRP Shares with respect to a redemption required under subparagraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3, by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date.

(v) The Company shall redeem all Outstanding Series H MRP Shares on the Term Redemption Date at the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions thereon (whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest thereon), to, but excluding, the Term Redemption Date.

(b) In the event of a redemption pursuant to Section 3(a), the Company will file a notice of its intention to redeem with the Commission under Rule 23c-2 under the 1940 Act or any successor provision to the extent applicable. In addition, the Company shall deliver a notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) containing the information set forth below to the Paying Agent and the Holders of MRP Shares to be redeemed not less than 20 days (in the case of Section 3(a)(i)), 12 days (in the case of Section 3(a)(ii)), or 3 Business Days (in the case of Section 3(a)(iii)) and not more than 40 days prior to the applicable redemption date. Subject to the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement regarding notices to the Holders, the Notice of Redemption will be addressed to the Holders of MRP Shares at their addresses appearing on the stock records of the Company. Such Notice of Redemption will set forth (1) the date fixed for redemption, (2) the number and identity of MRP Shares to be redeemed, (3) the redemption price (specifying the amount of accumulated dividends to be included therein and the amount of the Make-Whole Amount, if any, or redemption premium, if any), (4) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such date fixed for redemption (so long as redeemed), and (5) the provision of these terms of the MRP Shares under which redemption shall be made. No defect in the Notice of Redemption or in the transmittal or mailing thereof will affect the validity of the redemption proceedings, except as required by applicable law.

6

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 3, but subject to Section 5(b), no MRP Shares may be redeemed unless all dividends in arrears on the Outstanding MRP Shares and all shares of capital stock of the Company ranking on a parity with the MRP Shares with respect to payment of dividends or upon liquidation have been or are being contemporaneously paid or set aside for payment; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition by the Company of all Outstanding MRP Shares pursuant to the successful completion of an otherwise lawful purchase, tender or exchange offer made on the same terms to, and accepted by, Holders of all Outstanding MRP Shares.

(d) Upon payment in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement on or prior to the date fixed for redemption and the giving of the Notice of Redemption to the Paying Agent and the Holders of the MRP Shares under paragraph (b) of this Section 3, dividends on such shares shall cease to accumulate and such shares shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding for any purpose (including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating whether the Company has maintained the MRP Shares Asset Coverage or met the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount), and all rights of the Holder of the shares so called for redemption shall cease and terminate, except the right of such Holder to receive the redemption price specified herein, but without any interest or other additional amount. To the extent that the purchase price required to effect such redemption is paid pursuant to Section 14.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, such redemption price shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Holders and, upon written request, the Company shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent, promptly after the date fixed for redemption, any cash deposited with the Paying Agent in excess of (1) the aggregate redemption price of the MRP Shares called for redemption on such date and (2) such other amounts, if any, to which Holders of MRP Shares called for redemption may be entitled. Notwithstanding any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any funds so deposited that are unclaimed at the end of two years from such redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be paid to the Company upon its written request, after which time the Holders so called for redemption may look only to the Company for payment of the redemption price and all other amounts, if any, to which they may be entitled.

(e) To the extent that any redemption for which a Notice of Redemption has been given is not made by reason of the Special Proviso, such redemption shall be made as soon as practicable to the extent such funds become legally available or such redemption is no longer otherwise prohibited. Failure to redeem MRP Shares shall be deemed to exist when the Company shall have failed, for any reason whatsoever, to pay in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement the redemption price with respect to any shares for which such Notice of Redemption has been given in accordance with Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the fact that the Company may not have redeemed MRP Shares for which a Notice of Redemption has been given, dividends may be declared and paid on MRP Shares and shall include those MRP Shares for which Notice of Redemption has been given but for which deposit of funds has not been made.

(f) All monies paid to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement for payment of the redemption price of MRP Shares called for redemption shall be held in trust by the Paying Agent for the benefit of Holders of MRP Shares to be redeemed.

7

(g) Except for the provisions described above, nothing contained in these terms of the MRP Shares limits any right of the Company to purchase or otherwise acquire any MRP Shares at any price, whether higher or lower than the price that would be paid in connection with an optional or mandatory redemption, so long as, at the time of any such purchase, (1) there is no arrearage in the payment of dividends on, or the mandatory or optional redemption price with respect to, any MRP Shares for which Notice of Redemption has been given, (2) the Company is in compliance with the MRP Shares Asset Coverage and MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount after giving effect to such purchase or acquisition on the date thereof and (3) an offer to purchase or otherwise acquire any MRP Shares is made by the Company pro rata to the Holders of all of the MRP Shares at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions with respect to MRP Shares. If fewer than all the Outstanding MRP Shares are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company, the Company shall give notice of such transaction to the Paying Agent to the extent that the purchase price required to effect such redemption is paid pursuant to Section 14.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, in accordance with the procedures agreed upon by the Board of Directors.

(h) In the case of any redemption pursuant to this Section 3, only whole MRP Shares shall be redeemed, and in the event that any provision of the Charter would require redemption of a fractional share, the Company or the Paying Agent, as applicable shall be authorized to round up so that only whole shares are redeemed.

SECTION 4. VOTING RIGHTS.

(a) Except for matters which do not require the vote of Holders of MRP Shares under the 1940 Act and except as otherwise provided in the Charter or Bylaws, herein or as otherwise required by applicable law, (1) each Holder of MRP Shares shall be entitled to one vote for every $30.00 of liquidation preference held on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company, and (2) the holders of Outstanding Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to stockholders; provided, however, that the holders of Outstanding Preferred Stock shall be entitled, as a class, to the exclusion of the holders of shares of all other classes of stock of the Company, to elect two Directors of the Company at all times. Subject to the foregoing rights of the Holders of the MRP Shares, the identity and class (if the Board of Directors is then classified) of the nominees for such Directors may be fixed by the Board of Directors. Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 4, the holders of Outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall elect the balance of the Directors.

(b) During any period in which any one or more of the conditions described below shall exist (such period being referred to herein as a “Voting Period”), the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors shall automatically increase by the smallest number that, when added to the two Directors elected exclusively by the holders of Preferred Stock would constitute a majority of the Board of Directors as so increased by such smallest number; and the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled, voting as a class on a one-vote-per-$30.00 of liquidation preference basis (to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of shares of the Company), to elect such smallest number of additional Directors, together with the two Directors that such holders are in any event entitled to elect. A Voting Period shall commence:

8

(i) if at the close of business on any Dividend Payment Date accumulated dividends (whether or not earned or declared) on Preferred Stock equal to at least two full years’ dividends shall be due and unpaid; or

(ii) if at any time holders of any Preferred Stock are entitled under the 1940 Act to elect a majority of the Directors of the Company.

If a Voting Period has commenced pursuant to Section 4(b)(i), the Voting Period shall not end until all such accumulated dividends are paid to the holders of Preferred Stock or have been otherwise provided for in a manner approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast by the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting as a class on a one-vote-per-$30.00 of liquidation preference basis. Upon the termination of a Voting Period, the voting rights described in this paragraph (b) of Section 4 shall cease, subject always, however, to the revesting of such voting rights in the holders of Preferred Stock upon the further occurrence of any of the events described in this paragraph (b) of Section 4.

(c) As soon as practicable after the accrual of any right of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect additional Directors as described in paragraph (b) of this Section 4, the Company shall call a special meeting of such holders, and mail a notice of such special meeting to such holders, such meeting to be held not less than 10 nor more than 30 calendar days after the date of mailing of such notice. If the Company fails to send such notice or if a special meeting is not called at the expense of the Company, it may be called by any such holder on like notice. The record date for determining the holders entitled to notice of and to vote at such special meeting shall be the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding the day on which such notice is mailed. At any such special meeting and at each meeting of holders of Preferred Stock held during a Voting Period at which Directors are to be elected, a majority of all votes cast by such holders, voting as a separate class (to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of capital stock of the Company), shall be entitled to elect the number of Directors prescribed in paragraph (b) of this Section 4 on a one-vote-per-$30.00 of liquidation preference basis.

(d) The terms of office of all persons who are Directors of the Company at the time of a special meeting of Holders of the MRP Shares and holders of other Preferred Stock to elect Directors shall continue, notwithstanding the election at such meeting by the Holders of the MRP Shares and such holders of other Preferred Stock of the number of Directors that they are entitled to elect, and the persons so elected by such holders, together with the two incumbent Directors elected by such holders and the remaining incumbent Directors, shall constitute the duly elected Directors of the Company.

(e) Simultaneously with the termination of a Voting Period, the terms of office of the additional Directors elected by the Holders of the MRP Shares and holders of other Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 4 shall terminate, the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors shall decrease accordingly, the remaining Directors shall constitute the Directors of the Company and the voting rights of such holders to elect additional Directors pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 4 shall cease, subject to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.

9

(f) So long as any of the MRP Shares are Outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock determined with reference to a “majority of outstanding voting securities” as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act (a “1940 Act Majority”), voting as a separate class:

(i) amend, alter or repeal (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any of the preferences, rights or powers of such class of Preferred Stock so as to affect materially and adversely such preferences, rights or powers and will not amend any provision of the Charter or Bylaws in a manner which would restrict or limit the ability of the Company to comply with the terms and provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement;

(ii) amend alter or repeal (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any of the provisions of the Charter or Bylaws if such amendment, alteration or repeal would adversely affect any privilege, preference, right or power of the MRP Shares or the Holders thereof;

(iii) enter into, become a party to, be bound by or adopt or allow to exist any agreement or instrument or any evidence of indebtedness which contains restrictive covenants intended to limit the right of the Company to make dividends, distributions, redemptions or repurchases of Preferred Stock (each a “Restricted Payment Covenant”) which are more restrictive than the most restrictive of the provisions of Sections 10.4(b) or (c) of the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of February 7, 2013 of the Company, or Section 5.13 of the Credit Agreement, in each case, as each such Note Purchase Agreement and Credit Agreement is in effect on March 26, 2015 other than Restricted Payment Covenants that are more restrictive as a result of (1) a change in the laws or regulations or the Rating Agency Guidelines to which the Company is subject or (2) dividends, distributions, redemptions or repurchases of Preferred Stock being blocked or restricted as a result of the occurrence of any default or event of default (as such terms are defined under any such agreement or instrument). For the avoidance of doubt, an amendment to, or adoption of, a covenant (other than a Restricted Payment Covenant) in any instrument or agreement evidencing indebtedness of the Company (including, without limitation, the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of February 7, 2013 of the Company, and the Credit Agreement) shall not require the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the holders of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4(f)(iii);

(iv) create, authorize or issue shares of any class of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets, or any securities convertible into, or warrants, options or similar rights to purchase, acquire or receive, such shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock or reclassify any authorized shares of capital stock of the Company into any shares ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock (except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors, without the vote or consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock may from time to time authorize, create and classify, and the Company, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may from time to time issue, shares or series of Preferred Stock, including other series of Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock, ranking on a parity with the MRP Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the

10

distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company (“Parity Shares”), and may authorize, reclassify and/or issue any additional MRP Shares, including shares previously purchased or redeemed by the Company, subject to (i) upon issuance the Company meeting the MRP Shares Asset Coverage and the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount, (ii) continuing compliance by the Company with MRP Shares Asset Coverage requirement and MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount and, in all material respects, the other provisions of these Articles Supplementary, (iii) the payment in full of all accrued and unpaid dividends on the MRP Shares and the effectuation of all redemptions required in respect of the MRP Shares, in each case, without regard to the Special Proviso in Section 3(a)(iv) except to the extent the proceeds of the issuance of such Preferred Stock are used to pay such dividends in full and to effect all such redemptions and (iv) in the event the holders of such shares of Preferred Stock or other Parity Shares have the benefit of any rights substantially similar to Sections 2(e), 3(a)(iii), 4(f)(iv) or 4(l) which are additional to or more beneficial than the rights of the Holders of the MRP Shares under such sections, these Articles Supplementary shall be deemed to included such additional or more beneficial rights for the benefit of the Holders of the MRP Shares (such rights incorporated herein shall be terminated when and if terminated with respect to such other Preferred Stock and such other Parity Shares and shall be deemed amended or modified concurrently with any amendment or modification of such other Preferred Stock and such other Parity Shares but, in no event, shall any such termination, amendment or modification affect the remaining rights of the Holders of the MRP Shares));

Short-term fixed income securities that will mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that using this method would not reflect an investment’s fair value. If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the manager to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the Company’s investment adviser using quotations from one or more broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Company calculates its net asset value, the Company values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value “MGCL” has the meaning set forth in Section 5(a) hereof.
