ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Escrow Agreement”), dated as of September 23, 2022, is entered into by and among Fidelity Private Credit Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Company”), Fidelity Distributors Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as dealer manager for the Company (the “Dealer Manager”), and UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Company is registering for sale in a public offering (the “Offering”) a maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, consisting of any combination of Class S common stock, Class D common stock, and Class I common stock (collectively, the “Shares”) in the primary offering, pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form N-2, as amended from time to time;

WHEREAS, the Dealer Manager has been engaged by the Company to offer and sell the Shares on a best-efforts basis in the Offering through a network of participating broker-dealers (the “Selected Dealers”);

WHEREAS, the Company and the Dealer Manager desire to establish an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) as further described herein and to deposit funds contributed by subscribers subscribing to purchase Shares (“Subscribers”) with the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account, to be held for the benefit of the Subscribers and the Company until such time as subscriptions for the Minimum Amount (as defined below) has been deposited into the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company hereby directs the Escrow Agent to engage DST Systems, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) to receive, examine for “good order” and facilitate subscriptions into the Escrow Account as further described herein and to act as record keeper, maintaining on behalf of the Escrow Agent the ownership records for the Escrow Account; and

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to accept appointment as escrow agent upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Escrow of Subscriber Funds.

(a) On or before the commencement of the Offering, the Company shall establish the Escrow Account with the Escrow Agent, which shall be entitled “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Fidelity Private Credit Fund” All funds received from Subscribers in payment for the Shares (“Subscriber Funds”) which comply with the instructions set forth in Section 2(a) will be delivered to the Escrow Agent promptly following the day upon which such Subscriber Funds are received by the Transfer Agent and such subscription is accepted by the Company, and shall, upon receipt of good and collected funds by the Escrow Agent, be retained in the Escrow Account for the benefit of the Subscribers and the Company by the Escrow Agent and invested as stated below. Subscriber Funds also may be wired directly to the Escrow Account using wire instructions provided by the Escrow Agent. Such Subscriber Funds shall be retained in the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent and invested as set forth in Section 9 (Investment of Subscriber Funds; Income Allocation and Reporting) and shall be deposited within one (1) business day of receipt.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to make any disbursement, investment or other use of Subscriber Funds until and unless it has good and collected funds. In the event that any checks deposited in the Escrow Account are returned or prove uncollectible after the funds represented thereby have been released by the Escrow Agent, then the Company shall promptly reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all reasonable costs incurred for such, upon request, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the returned checks to the Company. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it hereunder. The Escrow Agent reserves the right to deny, suspend or terminate participation by a Subscriber to the extent the Escrow Agent deems it advisable or necessary to comply with applicable laws.

1 of 16

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not create any responsibility on the part of the Dealer Manager to the Company or to the Escrow Agent for payments of any amounts under this Agreement.

2. Operation of the Escrow.

(a) Until such time as the Company has received subscriptions for Shares resulting in gross subscription proceeds equal to the Minimum Amount (as defined below) and the funds in the Escrow Account are disbursed from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, Subscribers will be instructed to make checks, drafts, wires, Automated Clearing House (ACH) or money orders (“Instruments of Payment”) for subscriptions payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Fidelity Private Credit Fund” Completed subscription agreements and Instruments of Payment for the purchase price shall be remitted to the address designated for the receipt of such agreements and Instruments of Payment. Any Instruments of Payment made payable to a party other than the Escrow Agent as described above shall be returned to the Dealer Manager or the Selected Dealer who submitted such Instrument of Payment.

When the Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials (as defined below) are initially received by the Selected Dealer, by the end of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, the Selected Dealer will send to the Escrow Agent such Instruments of Payment along with each Subscriber’s name, address, executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9, number and class of Shares purchased and purchase price remitted and any other subscription documentation (the “Subscription Materials”).

When the Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), the Selected Dealer shall transmit the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, and then the Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials, forward the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Escrow Agent.

To the extent that subscription agreements and payments are remitted by the Transfer Agent, the Company, the Dealer Manager or a Selected Dealer, the Transfer Agent, the Company, the Dealer Manager or a Selected Dealer, as applicable, will furnish to the Escrow Agent a list detailing information regarding such subscriptions as set forth in Exhibit A (List of Subscribers). The Transfer Agent will promptly deliver all monies received in good order from Subscribers (or from the Company, the Dealer Manager or the Selected Dealers transmitting monies and subscriptions from Subscribers) for the payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. Deposits shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with this Section 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 the satisfaction of the Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Transfer Agent and the Company in writing via mail, email or facsimile of such nonpayment, and the Escrow Agent is authorized to debit the Escrow Account, as applicable, in the amount of such returned payment and the Transfer Agent shall delete the appropriate account from the records maintained by the Transfer Agent.

The Transfer Agent will 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 and class of Shares purchased by such Subscriber; and

(iii) the amount paid by such Subscriber for such Shares.

Prior to the satisfaction of the Minimum Amount, neither the Company nor the Dealer Manager will be entitled to any funds received into the Escrow Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the satisfaction of the Minimum Amount, upon the written request of a Subscriber (which may be delivered by the Company or Dealer Manager) to withdraw their purchase order and request a full refund, the Escrow Agent shall disburse directly to such Subscriber the principal amount of the subscription payment from such Subscriber received by the Escrow Agent.

2 of 16

(b) If, at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below), the subscription proceeds received by the Escrow Agent are equal to or greater than $100,000,000, including Shares purchased by the Company’s sponsor, its affiliates, and the Company’s officers and directors (“Minimum Amount”), the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written instruction from an officer of the Company stating that the Minimum Amount has been timely raised and authorizing the delivery of all Subscriber Funds in the Escrow Account to the Company (subject to Section 3 hereof for Pennsylvania Subscribers).

(c) With respect to any such disbursement, the Company (i) certifies it shall review any wire instructions set forth herein to confirm such wire instructions are accurate, and (ii) agrees it will not seek recourse from UMB Bank, N.A., as a result of losses incurred by it for making the disbursement in accordance with its instructions herein.

Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse to the Company, or as the Company directs. by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account representing the principal amount of the gross subscription payments from Subscribers received by the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not disburse those funds of a Subscriber whose subscription has been rejected or rescinded of which the Escrow Agent has been notified in writing by the Company, or otherwise in accordance with the Company’s written request. Notwithstanding the above, the Company’s board of directors may elect to wait a substantial amount of time before authorizing, or may elect not to authorize, the release of the escrow proceeds.

(d) After the satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 2 with respect to the disbursement of funds, in the event that the Company receives subscriptions made payable to the Escrow Agent, subscription proceeds may continue to be received in the Escrow Account, but to the extent that the process shall not be subject to escrow due to the Company reaching the Minimum Amount, the proceeds shall not be subject to this Escrow Agreement, and at the written instruction of the Company to the Escrow Agent, shall be disbursed as directed by the Company. The terms of this Section 2(c) shall survive the assignment or termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

(e) If, as of the close of business on the one year anniversary of the commencement of the Offering (the “Expiration Date”), the funds in the Escrow Account do not equal or exceed the Minimum Amount, within ten (10) days following the Expiration Date, the Company or the Dealer Manager shall provide the Escrow Agent written notice thereof, and upon receipt of such written notice, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return directly to each Subscriber:

(i) by check or wire transfer, the Subscriber Funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of such Subscriber (unless earlier disbursed in accordance with this Escrow Agreement); or

(ii) the Instruments of Payment delivered to the Escrow Agent with respect to such Subscriber’s subscription if such Instrument of Payment has not been processed for collection prior to such time.

The Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments hereunder until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments.

3. Identity of Subscribers.

If requested by the Escrow Agent, the Company, Transfer Agent or the Dealer Manager shall furnish to the Escrow Agent with each delivery of an Instrument of Payment, a list of the Subscribers who have paid for the Shares showing the name, address, tax identification number, amount and class of Shares subscribed for and the amount paid and deposited with the Escrow Agent. This information comprising the identity of Subscribers shall be provided to the Escrow Agent in the format set forth on Exhibit A to this Escrow Agreement (the “List of Subscribers”).

3 of 16

All Subscriber Funds so deposited shall not be subject to any liens or charges by the Company, the Dealer Manager or the Escrow Agent, or judgments or creditors’ claims against the Company, until released to the Company as hereinafter provided. The Company understands and agrees that the Company shall not be entitled to any Subscriber Funds on deposit in the Escrow Account and no such funds shall become the property of the Company except when released to the Company pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The Company, the Dealer Manager and the Escrow Agent will treat all Subscriber information as confidential (the “Confidential Information”). The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept any funds from Subscribers that are not accompanied by the information on the List of Subscribers.

The Escrow Agent shall keep strictly confidential all information sent to it unless such material is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law, regulation, judicial or administrative order, decree or subpoena, or request by a regulatory organization having authority pursuant to the law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Escrow Agreement prohibits, prevents, or limits the Escrow Agent from disclosing any Subscriber information, without notice to or consent of the Company or the Dealer Manager, if the disclosure is required by law to be made to a supervisory or governmental authority or a self-regulatory organization in the course of any examination, inquiry, or audit of the Escrow Agent or any of the Escrow Agent’s representatives or businesses

4. Rejected Subscriptions.

In the event the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Company or the Dealer Manager that the Company or Dealer Manager has rejected a Subscriber’s subscription, the Escrow Agent shall pay directly to the applicable Subscriber, within ten (10) business days after receiving notice of the rejection, by first class United States Mail at the address appearing on the List of Subscribers, or at such other address or wire instructions as are furnished to the Escrow Agent by the Subscriber in writing, all collected sums paid by the Subscriber for Xxxxxx and received by the Escrow Agent.

5. Escrowed Funds.

Upon receipt of the Subscriber 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 Subscriber Funds shall be invested and reinvested by the Escrow Agent as directed in writing by the Company in an interest-bearing bank money market account. Until otherwise directed by the Company, the Subscriber Funds shall be invested in UMB Money Market Special, a UMB bank money market account.

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 Subscriber Funds shall be retained by the Escrow Agent, and shall be distributed as directed by the Company after delivery of the Break Escrow Letter or after delivery of notice by the Company that it is terminating the Offering.

6. Term of Escrow.

Unless otherwise provided in this Escrow Agreement, final termination of this Escrow Agreement shall occur on the earliest of the date that:

(a) all funds held in the Escrow Account are distributed either to the Company or to Subscribers and the Company has informed the Escrow Agent in writing to close the Escrow Account;

(b) all funds held in the Escrow Account are distributed to a successor escrow agent upon written instructions from the Company; or

7. Duty and Limitation on Liability of the Escrow Agent.

(a) The Escrow Agent’s rights and responsibilities shall be governed solely by this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall at all times comply with applicable securities or other laws in performing its duties pursuant to this Escrow Agreement provided the Escrow Agent shall be deemed in compliance with the foregoing and protected in relying upon the written direction of the Company and shall have no independent obligation to evaluate whether an act or omission complies with applicable securities or other laws.

14. Successors and Assigns.

Except as otherwise provided in this Escrow Agreement, no party hereto shall assign this Escrow Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any such attempted assignment without such prior written consent shall be void and of no force and effect.

17. Amendments; Waivers.

This Escrow Agreement may be amended or modified, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties, or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.

23. Patriot Act Compliance; Tax Matters.

Pursuant to the subscription agreement completed by Subscribers, the Company and the Dealer Manager agree to provide the Escrow Agent completed IRS Forms W-9 (or IRS Forms W-8, in the case of non-U.S. persons) and other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may reasonably request (collectively, “Tax Reporting Documentation”) at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement and any information reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent to comply with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act) Act of 2001, as amended from time to time and the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended from time to time, which information shall be used to verify the identities of the parties to ensure compliance with the terms of such acts. The Escrow Agent, or its agent, shall complete a search with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), in compliance with its policy and procedures, of each Instrument of Payment and shall inform the Company if an Instrument of Payment fails the OFAC search.

The parties hereto understand that if such Tax Reporting Documentation is not so certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code, as it may be amended from time to time, to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of monies or other property held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The Company shall be treated as the owner of the Subscriber Funds for federal and state income tax purposes and the Company will report all income, if any, that is earned on, or derived from, the Subscriber Funds as its income, in such proportions, in the taxable year or years in which such income is properly includible and pay any taxes attributable thereto.
