Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On May 9, 2016, OTK and SBEEG Holdings, LLC (“Parent”) entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) relating to the proposed acquisition of the Issuer by Parent pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of May 9, 2016, by and among the Issuer, Parent, and Trousdale Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, including the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of the Issuer’s stockholders, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger, and each outstanding Common Share will cease to be outstanding and will be converted into the right to receive $2.25 in cash.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, OTK has agreed to irrevocably appoint the Issuer as its proxy to vote all outstanding Common Shares held by OTK for the vote of the shareholders of the Issuer on matters relating to the Merger Agreement: (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and (ii) against any of the following actions (other than those that relate to the Merger or the Merger Agreement) (A) any merger, consolidation, combination, reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation of or by the Issuer, (B) any sale of substantially all of the assets of the Issuer, (C) any acquisition proposal with respect to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries (other than with respect to the Merger), (D) any amendment of the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other proposal or transaction that

To the extent the shares beneficially owned by OTK are not voted by proxy, OTK agreed in the Voting Agreement to vote all of such shares in same manner as described above. OTK retains the right to vote the shares it beneficially owns in its sole discretion and without any other limitation on any matters other than those set forth above.

In addition, OTK has agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, not to (1) sell or transfer any Common Shares it holds, other than a transfer to an affiliate of OTK that enters into a joiner to the Voting Agreement in connection with such transfer, (2) to solicit alternative proposals to the Merger, or (3) exercise any appraisal rights that it may have or could potentially have in connection with the Merger.

The Voting Agreement terminates upon the earliest of: (a) November 9, 2016, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement, (c) the effective time of the Merger, (d) the amendment of the Merger Agreement to reduce or alter the form of merger consideration in a manner adverse to Novo, unless such amendment has been consented to by OTK or (e) the Issuer’s board of directors withdraws or modifies its approval or recommendation of the Merger and/or the Merger Agreement in accordance with the Merger Agreement and, in connection therewith, approves or recommends an alternative transaction.

The execution and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms hereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Stockholder under, any organizational documents of the Stockholder, any provision of any Contract to which the Stockholder is a party or by which any properties or assets of the Stockholder are bound, or, subject to the filings and other matters referred to in the next sentence, any provision of any Judgment or Applicable Law applicable to the Stockholder or the properties or assets of the Stockholder.

(2) Against Other Transactions. Subject to the representation made in the last sentence of Section 2 of this Agreement remaining true and accurate and the covenant made in the last sentence of Section 5 of this Agreement being performed in all respects, at any meeting of stockholders of Monroe or at any postponement or adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which the Stockholder’s vote, consent or other approval is sought, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Shares against (i) any merger agreement or merger, consolidation, combination or sale of substantially all of Monroe’s assets, or any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by Monroe (other than the Merger Agreement and the Merger and other than in accordance with the Merger Agreement or the Transaction Agreements), (ii) any Monroe Takeover Proposal and (iii) any amendment of the Monroe Charter or the Monroe Bylaws or other proposal or transaction involving Monroe or any Monroe Subsidiary (other than in accordance with the Merger Agreement or the Transaction Agreements), which amendment or other proposal or transaction requires a Monroe stockholders’ vote and would in any manner be reasonably expected to (i) prevent (A) the performance by Monroe of its obligations under the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or (B) the consummation of the Merger or any other Transaction or (ii) change in any manner the voting rights of any class of Monroe Capital Stock. The Stockholder shall not take or commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

(3) Revoke Other Proxies. The Stockholder represents that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Subject Shares that may still be in effect are not irrevocable, and such proxies are hereby revoked.

(4) IRREVOCABLE PROXY.

3

Agreement.

Such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212(e) of the DGCL. For the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder may vote the Subject Shares on all matters other than those set forth in this Section 3(a)(4). The irrevocable proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

(b) No Transfer. Other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholder shall not (i) sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift, merger or operation of law), encumber, hedge or utilize a derivative to transfer the economic interest in (collectively, “Transfer”), or enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement (including any profit sharing arrangement) with respect to the Transfer of, any Subject Shares to any person other than pursuant to the Merger, other than Transfers to Affiliates, limited partners, members or immediate family members of the Stockholder, a trust established for the benefit of the Stockholder and/or for the benefit of one or more members of the Stockholder’s immediate family, or charitable organizations, or upon the death of the Stockholder (collectively, a “Transferee”), provided that, as a condition to such Transfer, such Transferee enters into a joinder to this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Trousdale, which shall provide that such Transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement and the terms, conditions and obligations hereof, (ii) enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement, voting trust or otherwise (including pursuant to any loan of Subject Shares), with respect to any Subject Shares, or (iii) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions.

The Stockholder shall promptly and in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours advise Monroe and Trousdale orally and in writing of any Monroe Takeover Proposal or inquiry made to the Stockholder that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Monroe Takeover Proposal, and the identity of the person making any such Monroe Takeover Proposal or inquiry and the terms of any such Monroe Takeover Proposal or inquiry.

4

(d) Commercially Reasonable Efforts. The Stockholder shall not take any action that causes or could reasonably be expected to cause any condition to consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions not to be satisfied. The Stockholder shall not issue any press release or make any other public statement with respect to any Transaction Agreement, the Merger or any other Transaction without the prior consent of Monroe and Trousdale, except as may be required by Applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, making disclosure of the Transactions or entry into this Agreement in order to avoid violating the federal securities laws).

(e) Dual Hat Provision. This Agreement applies to the Stockholder solely in its capacity as a stockholder of Monroe and does not apply to the actions, judgments or decisions of any of the Stockholder’s officers, directors, employees or affiliates (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Monroe (including for the avoidance of doubt, exercising his or her fiduciary duties).

The termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the liability of either party for breach hereof prior to such termination.

Section 5. Additional Matters. The Stockholder shall, from time to time, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional or further consents, documents and other instruments as Trousdale may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
