WHEREAS, the Subscriber is willing to commit to purchase shares, and the Company is willing to issue and sell shares to the Subscriber on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as set forth herein.

The Subscriber represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

1.1

(a) Initial Purchase. The Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase an aggregate of $150,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) of Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class S, and Class E Shares (the “Initial Shares”), at a purchase price per Initial Share to be determined as of the date of the closing of such purchase or purchases as set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber shall purchase the Initial Shares in one or more closings on or prior to the Final Closing Date (as defined below). The purchase price per Initial Share will equal the most recently determined “Share Transaction Price” (as defined in the Memorandum) per Initial Share as of the date of each closing of the Subscriber’s purchase of such Initial Share; provided, however, that if the Company has not yet determined a transaction price as of such closing date, the purchase price per Initial Share will be $25.00 and thereafter any Shares issued to the Subscriber will be effected at then current Share Transaction Price (as defined in the Memorandum) per Share.

(b) Capital Contributions. The Subscriber hereby agrees to make capital contributions in cash to the Company from time to time in the amounts specified by the Company and communicated to the Subscriber as the amount required for each contribution (each such communication, a “Capital Call,” and each contribution a “Closing”). The relative amounts required in each Capital Call will be with respect to the Commitment Amount set forth in Section 1.1(a) above.

(c) Capital Calls. The Company shall make Capital Calls at its discretion upon five (5) business days advance notice (or such shorter time as the Company may determine in its sole discretion). The Company may call up to $90,000,000 in one or more Closings on or before April 1, 2023 (the “Initial Closing Date”) and the remainder of

the Subscriber’s Commitment Amount in one or more Closings on or prior to the date that is five (5) years following the effective date of this Subscription Agreement (the “ Final Closing Date”). The Company may adjust the timing of such capital calls at any time in its sole discretion (including, without limitation, at the direction of a lender in accordance with the terms of a Subscription Facility (as defined below)).

(d) Subsequent Purchases. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, until the Final Closing Date, if the Company elects in its sole discretion to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares from Subscriber pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, the Subscriber shall, upon the Company’s request following any such repurchase pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, be required to purchase an amount of additional Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class S Shares, and Class E Shares (“Additional Shares”), including pursuant to a Capital Call issued by the Company to the Subscriber for such purpose, such that the aggregate purchase price of (i) the outstanding Initial Shares held by Subscriber (if any) and (ii) such Additional Shares is equal to $150,000,000. The purchase price per Additional Share will equal the most recently determined Share Transaction Price per Additional Share as of the date of the Closing of Subscriber’s purchase; provided, however, that the Company has not yet determined a transaction price as of such closing date, the purchase price per Additional Share will be an amount such that the aggregate purchase price of all Additional Shares held by the Company following such repurchase does not exceed the Commitment Amount.

1.2 The Subscriber has carefully read this Subscription Agreement and, to the extent it believes necessary, has discussed with its counsel the representations, warranties and agreements that it makes by signing this Subscription Agreement and the limitations that apply to its resale of the Shares. All representations and warranties made by the Subscriber shall be made as of the date hereof and as of the date of any purchase of Shares by the Subscriber pursuant hereto.

1.3 The Subscriber acknowledges that, prior to executing this Subscription Agreement, it has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers or obtain additional information from a representative of the Company concerning the financial and other affairs of the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares to which this Subscription Agreement relates, and, to the extent it believes necessary in light of its knowledge of the Company’s affairs, the Subscriber has asked these questions and received satisfactory answers.

1.4 The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company will not register the issuance of the Shares under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws (the “State Acts”) in reliance upon exemptions from registration contained in the Securities Act and the State Acts, and that the Company relies upon these exemptions, in part, because of the Subscriber’s representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Subscription Agreement.

1.7 The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares for its own account, with the intention of holding the Shares for investment and with no present intention of dividing or allowing others to participate in this investment or of reselling or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Shares; the Subscriber will not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shares without registration under the Securities Act and the State Acts unless an exemption from registration is available under the Securities Act and the State Acts.

1.11 The principal office of the Subscriber is 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000.

The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees as follows:

2.1 In the event that the Company registers the Shares under the Securities Act, if the conditions that would permit the Subscriber to resell the Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144”) should be satisfied, the Subscriber may resell the Shares in reliance upon the provisions of Rule 144 only in limited amounts and in accordance with the other terms and conditions of Rule 144; and in connection with any resale of the Shares by the Subscriber that Rule 144 does not permit, the Subscriber must comply with some other applicable registration exemption.

2.5 The Subscriber and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, elect to repurchase all or any portion of the outstanding Shares from Subscriber. The price paid by the Company for any

Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be equal to the most recently determined Share Transaction Price (as defined in the Memorandum) per Share as of the date of the closing of such repurchase; provided, however, that if the Company has not yet determined a transaction price as of such closing date, the purchase price per Additional Share will be an amount such that the aggregate purchase price of all Additional Shares held by the Company following such repurchase does not exceed the Commitment Amount.

Subscriber may hereafter be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced to claim any such immunity, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to the Subscriber such an immunity (whether or not claimed), the Subscriber hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; (viii) acknowledges that in the event and to the extent the Subscriber is entitled to request the redemption of its ownership interest in the Company or otherwise withdraw from the Company, prior to the effectiveness of such redemption or withdrawal, the Subscriber shall be obligated to fund such payments in respect of Purchase Notices or otherwise as may be required under the terms of the Subscription Facility as a result of such withdrawal; (ix) acknowledges that the lender under the Subscription Facility has certain consent rights with respect to the transfer of the Subscriber’s ownership interest in the Company, and any such transfer will be subject to (A) the satisfaction of such consent rights, including, if required pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Facility, funding payments in respect of Purchase Notices required to reduce the outstanding amounts under the Subscription Facility resulting from such transfer and (B) any and all other transfer restrictions set forth in this Subscription Agreement and/or the Articles; and (x) acknowledges that the lender under the Subscription Facility is extending credit to the Company and/or certain of its affiliates in reliance on the agreements and acknowledgments of the Subscriber set forth in this Section 2.7 and the Subscriber’s funding of its Unused Capital Commitment in respect of Purchase Notices as such lender’s primary source of repayment.
