statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (&ldquo;<B><I>GAAP</I></B>&rdquo;),

of the Company&rsquo;s Fee Earning Assets at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted
on a pro rata basis for any equity capital raised or repurchased during the current calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial

the purpose of this waiver agreement is to reduce the base management fees payable to the Adviser by the Company for the quarter ended

than the Base Management Fee that would otherwise be payable under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser will, for each quarterly
period during the term of the Fee Wavier Agreement, calculate the Reduced Base Management Fee and the Base Management Fee under the terms
of the Investment Management Agreement. If, for any quarterly period during the term of the Fee Wavier Agreement, the Reduced Base Management
Fee would be greater than the Base Management Fee calculated under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser shall
only be entitled to the lesser of those two amounts.</P>

the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the &ldquo;<B><I>Investment Management Agreement</I></B>&rdquo;), dated May&nbsp;8,
2014, by and between New Mountain Finance Corporation (the &ldquo;<B><I>Company</I></B>&rdquo;) and New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC,
L.L.C. (the &ldquo;<B><I>Adviser</I></B>&rdquo;). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in the Investment Management Agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Effective as of and for the
quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2021 (the &ldquo;<B><I>Effective Date</I></B>&rdquo;) through the quarter ending December&nbsp;31, 2022 (the
&ldquo;<B><I>Termination Date</I></B>&rdquo;), we hereby agree to calculate the Base Management Fee as indicated below (defined below
as the &ldquo;<B><I>Reduced Base Management Fee</I></B>&rdquo;), and to waive such portion of the Base Management Fee that is in excess
of the Reduced Base Management Fee that the Adviser would otherwise be entitled to receive under the Investment Management Agreement prior
to the Effective Date.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Pursuant to the Investment
Management Agreement, the Adviser, for its services to the Company, has been entitled to receive a Base Management Fee from the Company
calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company&rsquo;s gross assets, as presented in the Company&rsquo;s consolidated financial
statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (&ldquo;<B><I>GAAP</I></B>&rdquo;),
less (i)&nbsp;the outstanding indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and among New Mountain Finance
SPV Funding, L.L.C. as the borrower, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as the Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as the Collateral Custodian, as such document may be amended from time to time, and (ii)&nbsp;cash and cash equivalents (&ldquo;<B><I>Fee
Earning Assets</I></B>&rdquo;).&nbsp;The Base Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated based on the average value
of the Company&rsquo;s Fee Earning Assets at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted
on a pro rata basis for any equity capital raised or repurchased during the current calendar quarter. Base Management Fees for any partial
month or quarter will be appropriately pro-rated.</P>

through the Termination Date, the Base Management Fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company&rsquo;s gross assets,
as presented in the Company&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP (the &ldquo;<B><I>Reduced Base
Management Fee</I></B>&rdquo;). The Reduced Base Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears, and will be calculated based on
the average value of the Company&rsquo;s gross assets at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately
adjusted on a pro rata basis for any equity capital raised or repurchased during the current calendar quarter.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">For the avoidance of doubt,
the purpose of this waiver agreement is to reduce the base management fees payable to the Adviser by the Company for the quarter ended
March&nbsp;31, 2021 through the quarter ending December&nbsp;31, 2022. In order to ensure that the Reduced Base Management Fee is less
than the Base Management Fee that would otherwise be payable under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser will, for each quarterly
period during the term of this waiver agreement, calculate the Reduced Base Management Fee and the Base Management Fee under the terms
of the Investment Management Agreement. If, for any quarterly period during the term of this waiver agreement, the Reduced Base Management
Fee would be greater than the Base Management Fee calculated under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser shall
only be entitled to the lesser of those two amounts.</P>

in writing by the Adviser and the Company, and assuming the Investment Management Agreement remains in effect, beginning with the quarter
ending March&nbsp;31, 2023, the Company will pay the Adviser a Base Management Fee that complies with the original terms of the Investment
Management Agreement. The Fee Waiver Agreement does not change the calculation of the incentive fees payable under the Investment Management
Agreement.</P>
