SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

First Eagle Private Credit Fund

c/o DST Systems, Inc.

0000 Xxxxxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx

Kansas City, MO 64105

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Subscription.

(a) The undersigned (the “Investor”) subscribes for and agrees to purchase common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share (“Shares” and each, a “Share”), of First Eagle Private Credit Fund (the “Fund,” “we,” “our” or “us”) with a capital commitment (“Capital Commitment”) in the amount set forth on the signature page below. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that this subscription (i) is irrevocable on the part of the Investor, (ii) is conditioned upon acceptance by or on behalf of the Fund, and (iii) may be accepted or rejected in whole or in part by the Fund in its sole discretion. The Investor agrees to adhere to and be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Fund’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, as amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time (the “Memorandum”), the Fund’s Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust attached hereto as Appendix A, as amended from time to time (the “Declaration”), the Fund’s Bylaws attached hereto as Appendix B, as amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”), the Investment Advisory Agreement with First Eagle Investment Management, LLC, our investment adviser (the “Adviser”) attached hereto as Appendix C, as amended from time to time (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Administration Agreement between the Fund and First Eagle Alternative Credit, LLC, our administrator (the “Administrator”) attached hereto as Appendix D, as amended from time to time (the “Administration Agreement”), the Subadvisory Agreement between the Adviser and First Eagle Alternative Credit, LLC, our subadviser (the “Subadviser”) attached hereto as Appendix E, as amended from time to time (the “Subadvisory Agreement,” and together with the Memorandum, the Declaration, the Bylaws, the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, each as in the final form provided or made available to the Investor, the “Operative Documents”), together with this Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein are used as defined in the Memorandum. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Fund expects to enter into separate Subscription Agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements,” and, together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with other investors (the “Other Investors,” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”), providing for the sale of Shares to the Other Investors, (ii) the Fund reserves the right to enter into Other Subscription Agreements that contain terms and conditions not found in this Subscription Agreement, subject to applicable law, and (iii) this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements are separate agreements, and the sales of Shares to the undersigned and the Other Investors are separate sales.

(b) The Investor agrees to purchase Shares for an aggregate purchase price equal to its Capital Commitment, payable at such times and in such amounts as required by the Fund, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Memorandum. On each Capital Drawdown Date (as defined below), the Investor agrees to purchase from the Fund, and the Fund agrees to issue to the Investor, a number of Shares equal to the Drawdown Share Amount (as defined below) at an aggregate price equal to the Drawdown Purchase Price (as defined below); provided, however, that in no circumstance will an Investor be required to purchase Shares for an amount in excess of its Unused Capital Commitment (as defined below).

“Drawdown Purchase Price” shall mean, for each Capital Drawdown Date (as defined below), an amount in U.S. dollars determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate amount of Capital Commitments being drawn down by the Fund from all Investors on that Capital Drawdown Date, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Unused Capital Commitment (as defined below) of the Investor and the denominator of which is the aggregate Unused Capital Commitments of all Investors that are not Defaulting Investors or Excluded Investors (as defined below).

“Drawdown Share Amount” shall mean, for each Capital Drawdown Date, a number of Shares determined by dividing (i) the Drawdown Purchase Price for that Capital Drawdown Date by (ii) the applicable Per Share Price (as defined below), with the resulting quotient adjusted to the nearest whole number to avoid the issuance of fractional shares.

“Per Share NAV” shall mean, for any Capital Drawdown Date or Catch-Up Date (as defined below), the net asset value per Share, as determined within two (2) Business Days (as defined below) of the date of the Funding Notice (as defined below).

“Per Share Price” shall mean, for any Capital Drawdown Date or Catch-Up Date (as defined below), the Per Share NAV; provided, that the Per Share Price shall be subject to the limitations of Section 23 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”); provided, further, however, in the event that the Per Share NAV is less than zero as of the first Capital Drawdown Date that occurs immediately following the Initial Closing Date (as defined below), then solely for the purpose of such Capital Drawdown Date, the Per Share Price shall be deemed to equal $25.

“Unused Capital Commitment” shall mean, with respect to an Investor, the amount of such Investor’s Capital Commitment as of any date reduced by the aggregate amount of contributions made by that Investor at all previous Capital Drawdown Dates and any Catch-Up Date pursuant to Section 1(b) and Section 2(c)(i), respectively.

2. Closings.

(a) The initial closing of subscriptions from unaffiliated investors for an investment in the Fund will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures on such date as determined by the Fund (such date being the “Initial Closing Date”). The Fund will hold additional closings subsequent to the Initial Closing Date (each date on which a subsequent closing is held, a “Subsequent Closing Date” and, each of the Initial Closing Date and Subsequent Closing Dates, a “Closing Date”).

(b) The Investor agrees to provide any information reasonably requested by the Fund to verify the accuracy of the representations contained herein, including without limitation the investor questionnaire (the “Investor Questionnaire”). Promptly after the Closing Date, the Fund will deliver to the Investor or its representative, if the Investor’s subscription has been accepted, a letter confirming the Fund’s acceptance of the Investor’s subscription.

(c)

(i) The Fund may enter into Other Subscription Agreements with Other Investors on a Subsequent Closing Date and any Other Investor whose subscription has been accepted at such Subsequent Closing Date is referred to as a “Subsequent Investor.” Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1(b) and 3, on one or more dates to be determined by the Fund that occur no later than the next succeeding Capital Drawdown Date (each, a “Catch-Up Date”), each Subsequent Investor shall be required to purchase from the Fund, on no less than ten (10) calendar days’ prior notice, a number of Shares with an aggregate purchase price necessary to ensure that, upon payment of the aggregate purchase price for such Shares by the Subsequent Investor in the aggregate for all Catch-Up Dates, such Subsequent Investor’s Contributed Capital Percentage (as defined below) shall be equal to the Contributed Capital Percentage of all prior Investors (other than any Defaulting Investors, Excluded Investors or any Other Investor who has subscribed on prior Subsequent Closing Dates and has not yet funded the Catch-Up Purchase Price) (the “Catch-Up Purchase Price”). Upon payment of the Catch-Up Purchase Price by the Investor on a Catch-Up Date and payment by Other Investors of the requisite amount, the Fund shall issue to each such Subsequent Investor a number of Shares determined by dividing (x) the Catch-Up Purchase Price for such Subsequent Investor minus the Organizational Expense Allocation (as defined below) by (y) the Per Share Price for such Subsequent Investor as of a Catch-Up Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Catch-Up Date and a Capital Drawdown Date occur on the same calendar day, such Catch-Up Date (and the application of the provisions of this Section 2(c)) shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the relevant Capital Drawdown Date.

(ii) For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement:

(A)

“Business Day” has the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

(B)

“Contributed Capital Percentage” means, with respect to an Investor, the quotient stated as a percentage determined by dividing (x) the aggregate amount of capital contributions that have been made by such Investor pursuant to Sections 1(b) and 2(c)(i) by (y) such Investor’s Capital Commitment.

(C)

“Organizational Expense Allocation” means, with respect to an Investor, the product obtained by multiplying (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Investor’s Capital Commitment and the denominator of which is the total capital commitments received by the Fund to date by the total amount of organizational expenses spent by the Fund in connection with the Fund’s formation.

(d) At each Capital Drawdown Date following any Subsequent Closing Date, all Investors, including Subsequent Investors, shall purchase Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the definitions of Drawdown Share Amount and Per Share Price and the provisions of Section 3(b), nothing in this Subscription Agreement shall prohibit the Fund from issuing Shares to Subsequent Investors whose subscriptions are accepted after the Closing Date at a Per Share Price greater than the Per Share NAV at the time of issuance.

(e) In the event that any Investor is permitted by the Fund to make an additional capital commitment to purchase Shares on a date after its initial subscription has been accepted, such Investor will be required to enter into a separate Subscription Agreement with the Fund, it being understood and agreed that such separate Subscription Agreement will be considered to be an Other Subscription Agreement for the purposes of this Subscription Agreement.

3. Capital Drawdowns.

(a) Purchases of Shares will take place on dates selected by the Fund in its sole discretion (each, a “Capital Drawdown Date”) and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b).

(b) The Fund shall deliver to the Investor, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to each Capital Drawdown Date, a notice (a “Funding Notice”) setting forth (i) the Capital Drawdown Date, (ii) the Drawdown Purchase Price and (iii) the account to which the Drawdown Purchase Price should be wired.

(c) The delivery of a Funding Notice to the Investor shall be the sole and exclusive condition to the Investor’s obligation to pay the Drawdown Purchase Price identified in each Funding Notice, and shall represent the Fund’s acceptance of the Investor’s irrevocable and ongoing offer to purchase Shares.

(d) On each Capital Drawdown Date, the Investor shall pay the Drawdown Purchase Price to the Fund by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account specified in the Funding Notice.

(e) SS&C GIDS, Inc. will act as transfer agent and registrar for the Shares (the “Transfer Agent”), unless and until either the Fund or the Transfer Agent decides to terminate the agreement between the parties.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the Fund shall have the right to exclude any Investor (such Investor, an “Excluded Investor”) from purchasing Shares from the Fund on any Capital Drawdown Date if, in the reasonable discretion of the Fund, there is a substantial likelihood that such Investor’s purchase of Shares at such time would (i) result in a violation of, or noncompliance with, any legal, regulatory, tax or similar regimes to which such Investor, the Fund, the Adviser, any Other Investor or a portfolio company would be subject or (ii) cause the investments of “Benefit Plan Investors” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and certain Department of Labor regulations) to be significant and the assets of the Fund to be considered “plan assets” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

4. Pledging.

(a) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor specifically agrees and consents that the Fund may, at any time, and without further notice to or consent from the Investor (except to the extent otherwise provided in this Subscription Agreement), pledge, charge or grant security over and, in connection therewith, Transfer (as defined in Section 8(d)(i)) some or all of the Unused Capital Commitments of the Investor, including the Fund’s right to deliver Funding Notices or otherwise draw down capital from the Investor pursuant to Section 3 and receive the Drawdown Purchase Price (and any rights, titles, interests, remedies, powers and privileges of the Fund related thereto), to lenders, contractual counterparties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the seller of any Shares or prospective Shares) or other creditors or holders of other obligations or guarantees of the Fund, in connection with any indebtedness, guarantee or surety of the Fund (such right of the Fund with respect to the Investor and Other Investors, collectively, the “Assigned Rights”); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such grantee’s right to draw down capital shall be subject to the limitations on the Fund’s right to draw down capital pursuant to Section 3; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Fund may exclude from such Assigned Rights all or a portion of the Assigned Rights of any Investors that are officers or trustees of the Fund and certain other persons, to the extent restricted under, or considered by the Board of Trustees of the Fund to be necessary or desirable to facilitate compliance with, applicable laws or regulations, including ERISA, the Investment Company Act and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended.

(b) In furtherance of Section 4(a) and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor specifically agrees and consents that the Fund may, in each case subject to such other conditions as the Fund may reasonably determine, (i) authorize any lender or other creditors or holders of other obligations or guarantees of the Fund, including any agent or trustee acting on their behalf, as agent and on behalf of the Fund, or in such other capacity as the Fund may specify (A) to exercise from time to time Assigned Rights, (B) to issue Funding Notices and to require all or any portion of such Unused Capital Commitment to be contributed to the Fund for purposes of paying such funds to a lender or other creditor or holders of other obligations or guarantees, including by payment to an account or accounts pledged to a lender, a creditor or such holder, (C) to exercise any right or remedy of the Fund under this Subscription Agreement in respect of any Assigned Rights or in respect of any Funding Notice, capital contributions or Unused Capital Commitment, and (D) to enforce the Investors’ obligations under their respective Subscription Agreements, and (ii) take any other action the Fund reasonably determines to be necessary for the purpose of providing such Assigned Rights (collectively, clauses (i) and (ii), the “Lender Powers”); provided, that any exercise of such Lender Powers shall be made in accordance with this Subscription Agreement. In addition, the Fund is hereby authorized to provide to or receive from any lender or other creditors or holders of other obligations or guarantees, including any agent or trustee acting on their behalf, financial information related to the Investor, subject to applicable law.

(c) To facilitate the Fund’s ability to incur and maintain borrowings or other financings or similar obligations and to otherwise make available Assigned Rights and/or the right to exercise any Lender Power for such borrowings or other financings or similar obligations, the Investor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) in the event of a failure by any Investor to pay all or any portion of the purchase price due from such Investor on any Capital Drawdown Date, in addition to the Lender Powers, the related creditor or lender may issue additional Funding Notices to all other Investors in order to make up any deficiency caused by the failure of such Investor to pay, whose ownership in the Fund would be diluted as a result, provided, that no Investor is required to fund more than its Unused Capital Commitments, (ii) its obligation to fund Funding Notices pursuant to Section 3 is irrevocable, and shall be without setoff, counterclaim or defense, including any defense under Section 365(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) it has received full and adequate consideration on the date hereof for its subscription for the Shares, and any defense of non-consideration or similar defenses for its subscription is hereby irrevocably waived, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings or otherwise, including any failure or inability of the Fund to issue Shares or for any such Shares to have positive value.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any lender or other person granted a lien with respect to any of the Assigned Rights and/or the right to exercise any Lender Power shall be intended beneficiary of this Subscription Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.

5. Reserved.

6. Remedies Upon Investor Capital Drawdown Default. In the event that an Investor fails to pay all or any portion of the purchase price due from such Investor on any Capital Drawdown Date (the “Defaulted Amount”) and such default remains uncured for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the Fund notifies such Investor of the default, the Fund shall be permitted to declare such Investor to be in default of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (any such Investor, a “Defaulting Investor”). In addition to the foregoing, the Fund shall be permitted to pursue one or any combination of the following remedies:

(a) The Fund may prohibit the Defaulting Investor from purchasing additional Shares on any future Capital Drawdown Date or otherwise participating in any future investments in the Fund;

(b) Fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then held by the Defaulting Investor shall be automatically transferred on the books of the Fund, without any further action being required on the part of the Fund or the Defaulting Investor, to the Other Investors (other than any Defaulting Investors) (the “Non-Defaulting Investors”), pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Commitments; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, no Shares shall be transferred to any Non-Defaulting Investor pursuant to this Section 6(b) in the event that such Transfer (as defined in Section 8(d)(i)) would (x) violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Investment Company Act or any state (or other jurisdiction) securities or “Blue Sky” laws applicable to the Fund or such Transfer (as

defined in Section 8(d)(i)), (y) constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (z) cause all or any portion of the assets of the Fund to constitute “plan assets” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (it being understood that this proviso shall operate only to extent necessary to avoid the occurrence of the consequences contemplated herein and shall not prevent the Investor from receiving a partial allocation of its pro rata portion of Shares); provided, further, that any Shares that have not been transferred to one or more Non-Defaulting Investors pursuant to the previous proviso shall be allocated among the participating Non-Defaulting Investors pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Commitments. The mechanism described in this Section 6(b) is intended to operate as a liquidated damage provision, since the damage to the Fund and the Non-Defaulting Investors resulting from a default by the Defaulting Investor is both significant and not easily susceptible to precise quantification. By entry into this Subscription Agreement, the Investor agrees to this Transfer (as defined in Section 8(d)(i)) and acknowledges that it constitutes a reasonable liquidated damage remedy for any default in the Investor’s obligation of the type described; and

(c) The Fund may pursue any other remedies against the Defaulting Investor available to the Fund, subject to applicable law. The Investor understands, and gives full authorization, approval and consent to, the remedies described in this Section 6 and agrees that this Section 6 is solely for the benefit of the Fund and shall be interpreted by the Fund against a Defaulting Investor in the discretion of the Fund. The Investor further agrees that the Investor cannot and will not seek to enforce this Section 6 against the Fund or any other investor in the Fund.

7. Reserved.

8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor. To induce the Fund to accept this subscription, the Investor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Investor and, upon due authorization, execution and delivery by the Fund, will constitute the valid and legally binding agreement of the Investor enforceable in accordance with its terms against the Investor, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies, as from time to time in effect; (ii) application of equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) considerations of public policy or the effect of applicable law relating to fiduciary duties.

(b) The Shares to be acquired hereunder are being acquired by the Investor for the Investor’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or distribution.

(c) The Investor understands that the Fund (i) intends to file an election to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act and (ii) intends to file an election to be treated as a regulated investment company within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes; pursuant to

those elections, the Investor will be required to furnish certain information to the Fund as required under Treasury Regulations § 1.852-6(a) and other regulations. If the Investor is unable or refuses to provide such information directly to the Fund, the Investor understands that it will be required to include additional information on its income tax return as provided in Treasury Regulation § 1.852-7. The Fund has filed a registration statement on Form 10 (the “Form 10 Registration Statement”) for its Shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Exchange Act. The Form 10 Registration Statement is not the offering document pursuant to which the Fund is conducting this offering and may not include all information regarding the Fund contained in this Memorandum; accordingly, Investors should rely exclusively on information contained in the Operative Documents in making their investment decisions.

(d)

(i) The Investor understands that the offering and sale of the Shares are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, applicable U.S. state securities laws and the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions by virtue of the private placement exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, exemptions under applicable U.S. state securities laws and exemptions under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions, and it agrees that any Shares acquired by the Investor may not be sold, offered for sale, exchanged, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of (each, a “Transfer”) in any manner that would require the Fund to register the Shares under the Securities Act, under any U.S. state securities laws or under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Investor understands that the Fund requires each investor in the Fund to be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act (“Accredited Investor”) and the Investor represents and warrants that it is an Accredited Investor.

(ii) The Investor understands that the offering and sale of the Shares in non-U.S. jurisdictions may be subject to additional restrictions and limitations, and represents and warrants that it is acquiring its Shares in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and other legal requirements applicable to the Investor including, without limitation, the legal requirements of jurisdictions in which the Investor is resident and in which such acquisition is being consummated. Furthermore, the Investor understands that all offerings and sales made outside of the United States will be made pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

(e)

(i) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor may not Transfer its Capital Commitment or any of its Shares unless (A) the Fund provides its prior written consent and (B) the Transfer is made in accordance with applicable securities laws. No Transfer will be effectuated except by registration of the Transfer on the Fund books. Each transferee must agree to be bound by these restrictions and all other obligations as an investor in the Fund.

(ii) The Investor acknowledges that the Investor is aware and understands that there are other substantial restrictions on the transferability of Shares or Capital Commitment under this Subscription Agreement, the Operative Documents and under applicable law including, but not limited to, the fact that (A) there is no established market for the Shares and it is possible that no public market for the Shares will develop; (B) the Shares are not currently, and the Investor has no rights to require that the Shares be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of the various states or any non-U.S. jurisdiction and therefore cannot be Transferred unless subsequently registered or unless an exemption from such registration is available; and (C) the Investor may have to hold the Shares herein subscribed for and bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, and it may not be possible for the Investor to liquidate its investment in the Fund. The Investor understands that legends stating that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws and setting out or referring to the restrictions on the transferability and resale of the Shares will be placed on all documents evidencing the Shares. The Investor acknowledges that its overall Capital Commitment and other investments which are not readily marketable are not disproportionate to the Investor’s net worth, it has no need for immediate liquidity in the Investor’s investment in the Shares, has the ability to bear the economic risk of this investment, has the ability to retain its Shares for an indefinite period and at the present time and in the foreseeable future can afford to suffer the complete loss of the Investor’s Shares and Capital Commitment.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Subscription Agreement, the Investor covenants that it will not Transfer all or any part of the Shares or its Capital Commitment (or purport to do so) if such Transfer would cause (A) the Fund or the Adviser to be in violation of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, the U.S. Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, as amended, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), as amended, or any similar U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. law or regulation; (B) the Shares to be held by a Sanctioned Person¹ or in a Sanctioned Country²; or (C) would otherwise cause the Fund of the Adviser to be in violation of any applicable Sanctions³.

A “Sanctioned Person” is defined as any person, entity, or government that is the target of Sanctions, including without limitation (a) any person, entity, or government that is the subject or target of Sanctions, (b) any person or entity operating, organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country or (c) any person or entity owned 50% or more by any such person or entity, or persons or entities, described in the foregoing clause (a) or (b).

A “Sanctioned Country” is defined as a country or territory which is the subject or target of any comprehensive Sanctions (as of the Investor’s investment in the Fund), Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and the Crimea, so—called Donetsk People’s Republic, Kherson, so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine.

“Sanctions” are defined as any economic or trade sanctions or restrictive measures enacted, administered, imposed or enforced by (a) the United States government, (b) the United Nations, (c) the European Union or its participating member states, (d) the United Kingdom, (e) the respective governmental institutions and agencies of any of the foregoing, including without limitation, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”), the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council and/or HM Treasury and the Cayman Islands government, including pursuant to any sanctions legislation extended to the Cayman Islands by the United Kingdom, or (f) any other government authority having jurisdiction over the Fund.

(f) The Investor has been furnished and has carefully read this Subscription Agreement, each Operative Document, in each case as amended, restated and/or supplemented through the Closing Date of the Investor’s subscription for Shares, Parts 2A (Brochure) and 2B (Brochure Supplement) of the Form ADV of the Adviser, a current copy of the Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Adviser and, to the extent that the Investor is a natural person, a current copy of the Fund’s Privacy Notice. The Investor understands that, upon the effectiveness of the Form 10 Registration Statement, the Fund will be required to file periodic reports such as Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and that such reports are available to the Investor at the SEC’s website at xxx.xxx.xxx or upon request from the Fund, and the Investor acknowledges that such reports are incorporated by reference into the Memorandum and it has had an opportunity to review such reports and ask questions of the Fund’s management with respect to such reports. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, is able to bear the risks of an investment in the Shares (including loss of its entire investment in the Shares) and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of Shares, including the matters set forth under the captions “Risk Factors,” “Allocation of Investment Opportunities and Potential Conflicts of Interests,” “Certain BDC Regulatory Considerations,” “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain ERISA Considerations” in the Memorandum.

(g) To the full satisfaction of the Investor, the Investor has been furnished any materials the Investor has requested relating to the Fund, the offering of Shares or any statement made in the Memorandum, and the Investor has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of representatives of the Fund concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information set forth in the Memorandum and to make an informed investment decision with respect to an investment in the Fund.

(h) Other than as set forth in this Subscription Agreement, the Operative Documents and any separate agreement in writing with the Fund executed in conjunction with the Investor’s subscription for Shares, the Investor is not relying, and will not rely with respect to the Shares, upon any other information (including, without limitation, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, website or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and any seminars or meetings whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or advertising), representation or warranty by the Fund, its Adviser or any affiliate of the foregoing or any of their respective trustees, directors, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, advisors, attorneys-in-fact, representatives or agents, written or otherwise, in determining to invest in the Fund, and expressly acknowledges that no such persons made any representations or warranties to it in connection therewith, and the Investor understands that the information contained in the Memorandum is not intended to convey tax or legal advice. The Investor has consulted to the extent deemed appropriate by the Investor with the Investor’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal, accounting, regulatory and related matters concerning an investment in Shares and on that basis understands the financial, tax, legal, accounting, regulatory and related consequences of an investment in Shares, and believes that an investment in the Shares is suitable and appropriate for the Investor.

(i) If the Investor is not a natural person, (i) the Investor was not formed or recapitalized for the specific purpose of acquiring any Shares in the Fund, (ii) the Investor has the power and authority to enter into this Subscription Agreement and each other document required to be executed and delivered by the Investor in connection with this subscription for Shares, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (iii) the person signing this Subscription Agreement on behalf of the Investor has been duly authorized to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and each other document required to be executed and delivered by the Investor in connection with this subscription for Shares. If the Investor is a natural person, the Investor has all requisite legal capacity to acquire and hold the Shares and to execute, deliver and comply with the terms of each of the documents required to be executed and delivered by the Investor in connection with this subscription for Shares. The execution and delivery by the Investor of, and compliance by the Investor with, this Subscription Agreement and each other document required to be executed and delivered by the Investor in connection with this subscription for Shares does not violate, represent a breach of, or constitute a default under, any instruments governing the Investor, any permit, franchise, judgment, decree, law, statute, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Investor or the Investor’s business or properties, or any agreement to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound.

(j) The Investor: (i) is not registered or required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act; (ii) has not elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act; and (iii) either (A) is not relying on the exception from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) thereunder or (B) is otherwise permitted to acquire and hold more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting securities of a business development company.

(k) The Investor understands that the Fund is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and it acknowledges and agrees that the Fund does not intend to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

(l) Representations for Non-U.S. Persons.

(i) If the Investor is not a “U.S. Person” (as defined in Annex 1 herein) (a “non-U.S. Person”), the Investor has heretofore notified the Fund in writing of such status.

(ii) The Investor will notify the Fund immediately if the Investor becomes a U.S. Person at any time during which the Investor holds or owns any Shares.
