Form of Escrow Agreement by and between Registrant and UMB Bank, N.A.

THIS Escrow Agreement (this “Agreement”) made and entered into as of this day of , 2008 by and among FS Investment Corporation, a Maryland Corporation (“Company”), UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Escrow Agent”) and FS² Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”) for itself and for and on behalf of its selected dealers (the “Selected Dealers”).

WHEREAS, The Company proposes to offer and sell shares of common stock of at least $2.5 million and up to $1.5 billion of gross offering proceeds at an initial purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Shares”) to investors pursuant to the Company’s Registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-149374), as amended from time to time (the “Offering Document”).

WHEREAS, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealers will distribute the shares on behalf of the Company on a “best efforts” basis.

WHEREAS, The Company has agreed that the subscription price paid by subscribers for shares will be refunded to such subscribers if a minimum aggregate of $2.5 million of gross offering proceeds from persons who are not affiliated with the Company or FB Income Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”) has not been raised within one year from the date the Offering Document becomes effective (the “Closing Date,”).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Dealer Manager desire to establish an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) as further described herein in which funds received from subscribers will be deposited and the Company and the Dealer Manager desire that UMB Bank, N.A. act as Escrow Agent to the Escrow Account and Escrow Agent is willing to act in such capacity.

WHEREAS, In order to subscribe for Shares, a subscriber must deliver the full amount of its subscription: (i) by check in U.S. dollars or (ii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars.

NOW, THEREFORE, Company, the Dealer Manager and Escrow Agent agree to the terms of this Agreement as follows:

1. Establishment of Escrow Account: Escrow Period. On or prior to the commencement of the offering of Shares pursuant to the Offering Document, the parties shall establish the Escrow Account which shall be entitled “UMB Bank as Agent for FS Investment Corporation—Escrow Account”, with the Escrow Agent. The Dealer Manager and Selected Dealers will instruct subscribers to make checks for subscriptions payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as agent for FS Investment Corporation.”

This Agreement shall be effective on the date on which the Offering Document becomes effective. The escrow period shall commence upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and shall continue until the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Escrow Agent receives confirmation from the Company and the Dealer Manager that the Company has raised an aggregate of at least $2.5 million of gross offering proceeds from persons who are not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor (the “Minimum Proceeds”), (ii) the Closing Date, or (iii) the termination of the Offering by the Company prior to the receipt of the Minimum Proceeds (the “Escrow Period”).

(a) Deposits in the Escrow Account. During the Escrow Period, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealers will promptly deliver all monies received from subscribers for the payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account (the “Escrowed Funds”). All monies deposited into the Escrow Account shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with this paragraph 2. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Company or any of its affiliates. If any of the instruments of payment are returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to receipt of the Break Escrow Affidavit (as described below), the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing via mail, email or facsimile of such nonpayment, and is authorized to debit the Escrow Account, as applicable in the amount of such returned payment as well as any interest earned on the amount of such payment. The Company will, or will cause its transfer agent, DST Systems, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), to maintain a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth, among other things, the following information: (i) the subscriber’s name and address, (ii) the number of Shares purchased by such subscriber, and (iii) the amount paid by such subscriber for such Shares. During the Escrow Period neither the Company nor the Dealer Manager will be entitled to any principal funds received into the Escrow Account.

(b) Distribution of the Escrowed Funds. If at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, the Minimum Proceeds have been raised, then upon the happening of such event, the principal amount of the Escrowed Funds shall remain in the Escrow Account until the Escrow Agent receives written direction provided by the Company and the Dealer Manager instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver the principal amount of such Escrowed Funds as the Company shall direct. An affidavit or certification from an officer of the Company to the Escrow Agent stating that the Minimum Proceeds have been timely raised, shall constitute sufficient evidence for the purpose of this agreement that such event has occurred (the “Break Escrow Affidavit”). The Affidavit shall indicate (i) the date on which the Minimum Proceeds have been raised (the “Break Escrow Date”) and (ii) the actual total number of Shares sold as of the Break Escrow Date. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall release funds from the Escrow Account as directed by the Company

and the Dealer Manager pursuant to written instruction that the Company shall provide to the Escrow Agent from time to time. Upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Break Escrow Affidavit, the Company and the Dealer Manager hereby direct the Escrow Agent to deliver to PFPC Trust Company (the “Custodian”), as directed by the Company on the 1^st business day of the month following the receipt of the Escrow Break Affidavit all of the principal and interest earned on such Escrowed Funds and the Escrow Agent shall from that point forward (the “ Post Escrow Break Period”), transfer on the 1^st business day of each month all principal and interest earned on the Escrowed Funds for the prior month to the Custodian, as directed by the Company. Additionally, the Company hereby directs the Escrow Agent to provide the Transfer Agent with all electronic files and information needed by the Transfer Agent to perform its duties as record keeper under its agreement between the Transfer Agent and the Company.

If the Escrow Agent has not received a Break Escrow Affidavit on or prior to the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall return the Escrowed Funds including interest thereon, to the subscribers, per the name, address and the amounts provided by the Company or Transfer Agent to the Escrow Agent without deduction, penalty or expense, and the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and the Dealer Manager of its distribution of the funds. The subscription payments returned to each subscriber shall be free and clear of any and all claims of the Company or any of its creditors.

3. Escrowed Funds. Upon receipt of the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Funds in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Until such time as the Escrowed Funds shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent as provided herein, the Escrowed Funds shall be invested and reinvested by the Escrow Agent in Federated Government Obligations Trust Shares money market fund.

The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to sell or redeem any such investment as necessary to make any distributions required under this Agreement and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such sale or redemption.

Income, if any, resulting from the investment of the Escrowed Funds shall be retained by the Escrow Agent, and shall be distributed according to this Agreement.

4. Duties of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent is not a party to, or bound by, the any other agreement among the other parties hereto, and the Escrow Agent’s duties shall be determined solely by reference to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person, other than as provided herein.
