AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 15, 2026, by and among Remora Capital Management, LLC (the “Investment Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company, Remora Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and Crescent Capital Group LP (the “Investment Sub-Adviser”).

WHEREAS, on September 5, 2025, the Company, the Investment Manager and the Investment Sub-Adviser entered into an initial Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Initial Sub-Advisory Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company, the Investment Manager and the Investment Sub-Adviser desire to amend and restate the Initial Sub-Advisory Agreement in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree that the Initial Sub-Advisory Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows (and that the Initial Sub-Advisory Agreement shall be of no further force and effect whatsoever after the date hereof):

1. In General. The Investment Sub-Adviser agrees, as more fully set forth herein, to act as an investment adviser to the Company with respect to the investment of certain of the Company’s assets and the purchase of certain assets for and the sale of certain assets held in the investment portfolio of the Company. The assets that are identified, sourced and/or originated by the Investment Sub-Adviser, in its capacity as an investment sub-adviser to the Company, pursuant to this Agreement are referred to herein as the “Sub-Advised Assets.”

2. Duties and Obligations of the Investment Sub-Adviser with Respect to Investment of the Sub-Advised Assets.

(a)         Subject to the succeeding provisions of this paragraph and subject to the direction and control of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), the Investment Sub-Adviser shall act as an investment adviser to the Company and manage the investment and reinvestment of the Sub-Advised Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investment Sub-Adviser shall, during the term and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) manage the Sub-Advised Assets in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (ii) identify, evaluate and negotiate the structure of the Sub-Advised Assets; (iii) execute, close, service and monitor the Sub-Advised Assets; (iv) propose certain securities and other assets for the Company to acquire, retain or sell; (v) perform due diligence on prospective portfolio companies; (vi) exercise voting rights in respect of the Sub-Advised Assets; (vii) serve on, and exercise observer rights for, boards of directors and similar committees of the Company’s portfolio companies that are Sub-Advised Assets; and (viii) provide the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds in the Sub-Advised Assets. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Investment Sub-Adviser may rely on the written direction of the Investment Manager with respect to any consents or other directions to be provided by the Company under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to restrict the Company’s right to retain additional sub-investment advisers or hire its own employees or to contract for administrative services to be performed by third parties, including but not limited to, the calculation of the net asset value of the Company’s shares. It is understood that (i) the Investment Sub-Adviser shall be prohibited from consulting with any other sub-investment adviser to the Company (including, in the case of an offering of securities subject to Section 10(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), any sub-investment adviser that is a principal underwriter or an affiliated person of a principal underwriter of such offering) concerning transactions for the Company in securities or other assets, except, in the case of transactions involving securities of persons engaged in securities-related businesses, for purposes of complying with the conditions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Rule 12d3-1 under the 1940 Act, and (ii) the Investment Sub-Adviser’s responsibility regarding investment advice hereunder is limited to the Sub-Advised Assets.


(b)         Unless otherwise agreed by the parties and as provided in this Agreement, the Investment Manager will have full and absolute discretion over the investment and disposition of investments by the Company. The Investment Sub-Adviser may present investment opportunities to the Investment Manager for potential investment by the Company (each, an “Offer”). Any such Offer shall include the maximum purchase price and material economic terms (for which purpose an executed term sheet, setting forth sufficiently detailed economic and legal terms, shall be deemed sufficient) of such opportunity. In addition, each Offer will include the deadline for the Investment Manager to respond, which deadline shall be at least five (5) business days following the receipt of such Offer by the Investment Manager. Upon receipt of an Offer, the Investment Manager shall return to Investment Sub-Adviser a writing (which may be by email) setting forth such portion of the opportunity, if any, the Investment Manager seeks to invest, on behalf of the Company. Unless such deadline is extended by the Investment Sub-Adviser, any Offer in respect of which the Investment Manager does not respond by the applicable deadline shall be deemed to have been rejected by the Investment Manager.

(c)         In the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Investment Sub-Adviser shall

(i)         provide the Investment Manager with information, analysis and recommendations with respect to each Offer and/or such other information, analysis and recommendations as reasonably requested from time to time by the Investment Manager in connection with the Investment Manager’s evaluation of an Offer on behalf of the Company, including: (A) basic obligor and investment information; (B) the Investment Sub-Adviser’s or its affiliates’ investment committee approval memorandums (which may be provided in redacted form to the extent of any information that the Investment Sub-Adviser deems confidential therein); and (C) loan documentation (including principal credit or loan agreements and other principal documentation, together with all amendments, waivers and modifications thereof) and loan files; and

(ii)        in connection with the acceptance by the Investment Manager of an Offer, provide available documentation and facilitate the investment by the Company, including: (A) arranging for the preparation, execution and delivery of credit agreements, or loan assignments as applicable, and other related documentation and information necessary to acquire or transfer ownership of an investment pursuant to an Offer; (B) making all arrangements and obtaining or providing such information as is necessary for the funding of an investment and the payment of principal, interest and other amounts due to the Company in respect of such Offer; and (C) using reasonable efforts to ensure that the Company receives its respective pro rata share of any original issue discount, commitment, agency, closing, amendment, waiver and similar fees in respect of investment pursuant to an Offer upon initial investment and for as long as the Company holds such investment.

(d)         In the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Investment Sub-Adviser shall at all times use all reasonable efforts to conform to, and act in accordance with, any requirements imposed by (i) the provisions of the 1940 Act, and of any rules or regulations in force thereunder, subject to the terms of any exemptive order applicable to the Company; (ii) any other applicable provision of law; (iii) the provisions of the Articles of Amendment and Restatement and the Bylaws of the Company, as such documents are amended from time to time; (iv) the investment objectives, policies and restrictions applicable to the Company as set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 or Form N-2 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as supplemented, amended or superseded from time to time, including in the periodic reports filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules promulgated thereunder); and (v) any policies and determinations of the Board of Directors of the Company and/or the Investment Manager that are provided in writing to the Investment Sub-Adviser. The Investment Manager shall promptly update the Investment Sub-Adviser with respect to any changes with respect to clauses (iii) through (v) of this Section 2(d) and, until such time as the Investment Sub-Adviser has received notice of such changes, the Investment Sub-Adviser shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Company and the Investment Manager, for any actions taken with respect to the Sub-Advised Assets that would be affected by such changes.

(e)         The Investment Sub-Adviser will seek to provide qualified personnel to fulfill its duties hereunder and will bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with its investment advisory duties hereunder that do not otherwise qualify as Company expenses pursuant to Section 2(c) of that certain Investment Management Agreement, by and between the Company and the Investment Manager, dated as of September 5, 2025 (the “Investment Management Agreement”), and Section 4(b) of that certain Administration Agreement, by and between the Company and the Investment Manager, dated as of September 5, 2025 (the “Administration Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Investment Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for, and each of the Company and the Investment Manager will bear, respectively, all costs and expenses that are incurred in its operation and transactions and not specifically assumed by the Investment Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Agreement, including all such expenses set forth in Section 2(c) of the Investment Management Agreement and Section 4(b) of the Administration Agreement.

2


(f)          The Investment Sub-Adviser shall give the Company the benefit of its professional judgment and effort in rendering services hereunder, but neither the Investment Sub-Adviser nor any of its officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents or controlling persons shall be liable for any act or omission or for any loss sustained by the Company in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, provided, that the foregoing exculpation shall not apply to a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement; provided further, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver of any rights which the Company may have which may not be waived under applicable law.

3. Services Not Exclusive. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Investment Sub-Adviser or any officer, employee or other affiliate thereof from acting as investment adviser for any other person, firm or corporation, or from engaging in any other lawful activity, and shall not in any way limit or restrict the Investment Sub-Adviser or any of its officers, employees or agents from buying, selling or trading any securities for its or their own accounts or for the accounts of others for whom it or they may be acting; provided, however, that the Investment Sub-Adviser will not undertake, and will cause its employees not to undertake, activities which, in its reasonable judgment, will adversely affect the performance of the Investment Sub-Adviser’s obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Investment Manager from engaging, and the Company and the Investment Manager shall have the right to engage, any other investment adviser or investment sub-adviser.

4. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, the Investment Sub-Adviser will bear all compensation expense (including health insurance, pension benefits, payroll taxes and other compensation related matters) of its employees. The Investment Sub-Adviser will bear all costs, fees and expenses related to the Investment Sub-Adviser obtaining a co-investment relief order from the SEC.

5. Compensation of the Investment Sub-Adviser. The Investment Sub-Adviser, for its services to the Company, will be entitled to receive a management fee computed in accordance with Exhibit A (the “Management Fee”).

6. Indemnification. The Investment Sub-Adviser (and its officers, managers, members of the board, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Investment Sub-Adviser) shall not be liable to the Investment Manager or the Company for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Indemnified Parties (as defined below) in connection with the performance of any of the Investment Sub-Adviser's duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company (except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally determined by judicial proceedings) with respect to the receipt of compensation for services), and the Company shall indemnify, defend and protect the Investment Sub-Adviser (and its officers, managers, members of the board, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Investment Sub-Adviser) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred by the Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Company or its shareholders) arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the Investment Sub-Adviser’s duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Section 6 to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall protect or be deemed to protect the Indemnified Parties against or entitle or be deemed to entitle the Indemnified Parties to indemnification in respect of, any liability to the Company or its shareholders to which the Indemnified Parties would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of the Investment Sub-Adviser’s duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Investment Sub-Adviser’s duties and obligations under this Agreement (as the same shall be determined in accordance with the 1940 Act and any interpretations or guidance by the SEC or its staff thereunder).

Exhibit A

Fee Schedule

The Company shall pay the Investment Sub-Adviser, in arrears, a quarterly sub-advisory fee (the “Management Fee”) as set forth below, computed by the Investment Sub-Adviser using the Aggregate Investment Value (as defined below) as of the end of each calendar quarter.

Aggregate Investment Value COMPENSATION
Less than $300,000,000 0.50% per annum
$300,000,000 or more and less than $750,000,000 0.45% per annum
$750,000,000 or more 0.40% per annum

“Aggregate Investment Value” means, as of any particular date, the aggregate value of all Crescent Investment Opportunities (as defined below) held by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as of such date, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (or its valuation designee), which determination may incorporate valuation information provided by the Investment Sub-Adviser; provided that, for purposes of the Management Fee calculation, the value of any particular investment shall not exceed the outstanding principal balance of such investment as of such date.

“Crescent Investment Opportunities” means senior secured loans to middle-market companies with headquarters in the United States and Canada identified, sourced and/or originated by the Investment Sub-Adviser and its affiliates, including investment vehicles managed and controlled by the Investment Sub-Adviser, and acquired as Sub-Advised Assets under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s holdings of CCAP Middle Market Loan Fund, LLC or any purchases made by the Company of securities from the Investment Sub-Adviser or any affiliated person thereof are not Crescent Investment Opportunities or Sub-Advised Assets and the Investment Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for providing advice with respect to such holdings or securities.

Computation

Subject to the receipt of any requested information pursuant to the third paragraph below, as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter, the Investment Sub-Adviser shall send to the Investment Manager a calculation (the “Calculation”) in reasonable detail of the Management Fee for the calendar quarter that ended as of the close of business of the last day of such calendar quarter. The Investment Manager may approve or disapprove of the Calculation within ten (10) business days of its receipt. In the event that the Calculation has been accurately prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the fee to the Investment Sub-Adviser. In the event of a dispute between the parties regarding the accuracy of the Calculation, it is hereby agreed that all discussions in resolution of such dispute will be conducted promptly and in good faith.

The Management Fee shall be calculated at the end of each calendar quarter by multiplying (i) the applicable annual rate set forth in the schedule above by (ii) the Aggregate Investment Value, as defined above, determined as of the close of business on the last business day of such calendar quarter, and multiplying the result by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the quarter and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the year. The fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears by the Company to the Investment Sub-Adviser. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of any calendar quarter, the fee shall be prorated by applying the formula above based on the number of days elapsed in the quarter through the effective date of termination. As soon as practicable following the effective date of such termination, the Investment Sub-Adviser shall deliver to the Investment Manager a Calculation in reasonable detail of the prorated Management Fee.

For the avoidance of doubt, the computation obligations of the Investment Sub-Adviser set forth herein shall not subrogate or otherwise modify the Company’s Board of Directors’ (or its valuation designee’s) ultimate authority and responsibility to determine the valuation of the Company’s assets, including the Crescent Investment Opportunities, and the Investment Sub-Adviser shall not bear any responsibility or liability for determining or approving the final valuation of any assets of the Company, including the Crescent Investment Opportunities.

The Investment Manager agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly accommodate reasonable requests for information by the Investment Sub-Adviser from the Investment Manager or the Custodian relating to the current assets of the Company and the values ascribed thereto by the Board (or its valuation designee) to assist the Investment Sub-Adviser in calculating the Management Fee for any particular period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board (or its valuation designee) shall be fully responsible for determining the final valuation of the Company’s assets, including the Crescent Investment Opportunities, and the Investment Sub-Adviser shall not bear any responsibility or liability for determining or approving the final valuation of any assets of the Company, including the Crescent Investment Opportunities.
