2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan

On June 17, 2009, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of MCG Capital Corporation (the "Company") recommended that the Board approve, and on July 23, 2009, the Board approved, an annual incentive cash bonus plan (the "2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan") for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The 2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan provides for the potential payment of cash bonuses, upon the attainment of certain strategic goals, to the following named executive officers of the Company (the "Named Executive Officers"): Steven F. Tunney, President and CEO; Stephen J. Bacica, Executive Vice President and CFO; B. Hagen Saville, Executive Vice President, Business Development; Samuel G. Rubenstein, Executive Vice President and General Counsel; and William B. Ford, Senior Vice President and Managing Director. The remaining executive officers of the Company and key, non-executive employees are also participating in the 2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan generally on the same terms as the Named Executive Officers.

The 2009 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan will be administered by the Committee. The Committee will make all awards under the 2009 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan on a discretionary basis. The Committee shall have authority to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the 2009 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan as it deems advisable. The Committee shall have broad discretion to construe and interpret the terms of the 2009 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan, to make adjustments or amendments to the 2009 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan, to make determinations regarding the weighting or impact of any particular set of criteria or goals that have been satisfied, and to ultimately make determinations as to whether to award such bonus payments under the 2009 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan. The criteria and goals set forth in the 2009 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan are guidelines. The Company has no obligation to make any payments until such time as the Committee makes such determination, in its sole discretion, regardless of whether the criteria and goals discussed below have been satisfied.

The 2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan is effective as of January 1, 2009. Each participant in the 2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan is assigned a potential target cash bonus amount expressed as a percentage of his or her 2009 annual base salary. For the Named Executive Officers, the approved percentages for 2009 were as follows: President and CEO (50%); Executive Vice President and CFO (50%); Executive Vice President, Business Development (50%); Executive Vice President and General Counsel (50%); and Senior Vice President and Managing Director (40%). The approved percentages among the other participants in the 2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan range between 30% and 70% of their 2009 annual base salaries.

The five strategic goals under the 2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan are equally weighted and milestones within each specified strategic goal are scaled from 50% to 125%, such that achievement of the 100% level within each of the five strategic goals could result in full payment of the specified target bonus for each individual. Performance below the minimum threshold for a category may result a zero payment for that category and performance above the maximum threshold for a category may result in a score of 125% for such category. In all cases, the Committee has broad discretion to make determinations regarding the payment of any bonus. The following individual and strategic goals have been established for 2009: (1) equity portfolio monetizations; (2) BDC asset coverage ratio; (3) cash earnings from the portfolio; (4) earnings per share; and
(5) successful renegotiation of the Company's credit facilities.

Additionally, certain Named Executive Officers (i.e., Messrs. Tunney, Bacica, Saville and Rubenstein) will have the opportunity to earn the target bonuses specified in their respective employment agreements, or an additional 50% of their base salaries, upon the achievement of specified earnings per share and share price stretch goals. These milestones were designed to meet certain requirements set forth in these employment agreements. The Company does not anticipate any payment under this portion of the program.


All bonus payments will be at the discretion of the Committee. In addition, payments made to the participants under the 2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan are predicated upon a minimum Company unrestricted cash balance. In the event that bonuses are earned and the Committee determines to make the bonus payments, but the unrestricted cash balance of the Company is below the established threshold on the proposed payout dates, bonus payments will not be paid until such time as the specified level of unrestricted cash is met for 30 consecutive calendar days. Payment of actual bonuses under the 2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan, if any, will be made in two equal installments on each of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, subject to continued employment with the Company.

2009 Long-Term Incentive Program

In addition, on June 17, 2009, the Committee recommended that the Board approve, and on July 23, 2009, the Board approved, a long-term incentive program (the "2009 Long-Term Incentive Program") for the three year period ending July 22, 2012 (the "Plan Period"). The participants in the 2009 Annual Incentive Cash Bonus Plan are all eligible for awards under the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Program, including the Named Executive Officers, the remaining executive officers and key, non-executive employees.

Each participant in the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Program may receive (i) an award of shares of restricted common stock, to be issued under the Company's Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Restricted Stock Plan, for which forfeiture restrictions lapse upon the achievement of specified Company share price thresholds (each, a "LTIP Restricted Stock Award") and (ii) a bonus payable in cash upon the achievement of specified Company share price thresholds (each, an "LTIP Cash Bonus"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee has sole discretion to make determinations regarding LTIP Restricted Stock Awards and LTIP Cash Bonuses.

The 2009 Long-Term Incentive Program will be administered by the Committee. The Committee will make all awards under the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Program on a discretionary basis. The Committee shall have authority to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Program as it deems advisable. The Committee shall have broad discretion to construe and interpret the terms of the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Program, to make adjustments or amendments to the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Program, to make determinations regarding the weighting or impact of any particular set of criteria or goals that have been satisfied, and to ultimately make determinations as to whether to award LTIP Restricted Stock Awards or LTIP Cash Bonuses under the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Program. The criteria and goals set forth in the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Program are guidelines. The Company has no obligation to make any payments until such time as the Committee makes such determination, in its sole discretion, regardless of whether the criteria and goals discussed below have been satisfied.

LTIP Cash Bonuses

In the event that the Company's share price reaches predetermined price thresholds, participants may be eligible to receive their respective pro-rata portion of the aggregate dollar amount reserved by the Company for LTIP Cash Bonuses. LTIP Cash Bonuses are not earned until such time as the Company's share price reaches $5.00, and the maximum payout is not earned until such time as the Company's share price reaches $8.00. The table below sets forth the aggregate LTIP Cash Bonus dollar amounts available for distribution to participants at various share price thresholds:
