 BLACKSTONE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND 

345 Park Avenue, 31st Floor 

New York, New York 10154 

$625,000,000 5.61% Series C Senior Notes due May 3, 2027 

May 3, 2022 
 TO
EACH OF THE PURCHASERS LISTED IN 

THE PURCHASER SCHEDULE HERETO: 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Blackstone Private Credit
Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows: 

SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

 Section 1.1. Authorization of Notes. The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $625,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 5.61% Series C Senior Notes due May 3, 2027 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to
Section 13, the “Series C Notes”). The Series C Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule . Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A
and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 22.4 shall govern. 
 The Series C Notes,
together with each Series of Additional Notes which may from time to time be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2, are collectively referred to as the “Notes” (such term shall also include any such
notes as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13). 

Section 1.2. Changes in Interest Rate. (a) If at any time a Below Investment Grade Event occurs, then: 

(i) as of the date of the occurrence of a Below Investment Grade Event to and until the date on which such Below Investment
Grade Event is no longer continuing (as evidenced by the receipt and delivery to the holders of the Notes of any Rating necessary to cure such Below Investment Grade Event), the Notes shall bear interest at the Adjusted Interest Rate; and 














			
	BLACKSTONE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND	  	NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

  

 (ii) the Company shall promptly, and in any event within twenty
(20) Business Days after a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred, notify the holders of the Notes in writing, sent in the manner provided in Section 18, that a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred, which written notice shall be
accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Required Holders to such effect and confirming the effective date of the Below Investment Grade Event and that the Adjusted Interest Rate will be payable in respect of the Notes in consequence thereof.

 (b) The fees and expenses of any Rating Agency and all other costs incurred in connection with obtaining, affirming or appealing a Rating
pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be borne solely by the Company. 
 (c) As used herein, “Adjusted Interest Rate”
means the interest rate per annum which is 1.00% above the stated rate of the Notes. 
 (d) As used herein, a “Below Investment
Grade Event” shall occur if: 
 (i) at any time the Company has obtained a Rating of the Notes from only one Rating
Agency, the then most recent Rating received from such Rating Agency that is in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is below Investment Grade; 

(ii) at any time the Company has obtained a Rating of the Notes from two Rating Agencies, the then lower of the most recent
Ratings received from the Rating Agencies that are in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is below Investment Grade; or 

(iii) at any time the Company has obtained a Rating of the Notes from three or more Rating Agencies, the then second lowest of
the most recent Ratings received from the Rating Agencies that is in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is below Investment Grade (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, if two or more of the most recent Ratings are equal or equivalent
to the lowest such Rating, then such equal or equivalent Ratings will be deemed to be the second lowest Rating for purposes of such determination). 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Below Investment Grade Event shall end immediately upon the delivery of one or more Ratings by the Company such
that the foregoing conditions are no longer triggered. Upon the end of the Below Investment Grade Event, the applicable interest rate shall automatically return to the stated interest rate for the Notes (or the Default Rate based on the stated
interest rate for the Notes, as the case may be). 
 (e) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Notes shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 SECTION 2. SALE AND
PURCHASE OF NOTES. 
 Section 2.1. Sale and Purchase of
Series C Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3,
Series C Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint
obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder. 

Section 2.2. Additional Series of Notes. The Company may, from time to time, in its sole discretion but subject to
the terms hereof, issue and sell prior to May 3, 2031 one or more additional Series of its promissory notes under the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to a supplement (a “Supplement”) substantially in the form of
Exhibit S. Each additional Series of Notes (the “Additional Notes”) issued pursuant to a Supplement shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(i) each Series of Additional Notes, when so issued, shall be differentiated from all previous Series by sequential
designation inscribed thereon; 
 (ii) Additional Notes of the same Series may consist of more than one different and
separate tranches and may differ with respect to outstanding principal amounts, maturity dates, interest rates and premiums, if any, and price and terms of redemption or payment prior to maturity, but all such different and separate tranches of the
same Series shall vote as a single class and constitute one Series; 
 (iii) each Series of Additional Notes shall be dated
the date of issue, bear interest at such rate or rates, mature on such date or dates, be subject to such mandatory and optional prepayment on the dates and at the premiums, if any, have such additional or different conditions precedent to closing,
such representations and warranties and such additional covenants as shall be specified in the Supplement under which such Additional Notes are issued and upon execution of any such Supplement, this Agreement shall be amended (a) to reflect
such additional covenants without further action on the part of the holders of the Notes outstanding under this Agreement, provided, that any such additional covenants shall inure to the benefit of all holders of Notes so long as any
Additional Notes issued pursuant to such Supplement remain outstanding and, provided further, for the avoidance of doubt, no covenant, definition or default expressly set forth in this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be amended or deleted in any respect to be less favorable to the holders of the Notes by virtue of the provisions of this clause (iii), and (b) to reflect such representations and warranties as are contained in such
Supplement for the benefit of the holders of such Additional Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 16;

	BLACKSTONE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND	  	NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

  

 (iv) each Series of Additional Notes issued under this Agreement shall be in
substantially the form of Exhibit 1 to Exhibit S hereto with such variations, omissions and insertions as are necessary or permitted hereunder; 

(v) the minimum principal amount of any Note issued under a Supplement shall be $100,000, except as may be necessary to
evidence the outstanding amount of any Note originally issued in a denomination of $100,000 or more; 
 (vi) all Additional
Notes shall rank pari passu with all other outstanding Notes; and 
 (vii) no Additional Notes shall be issued
hereunder if at the time of issuance thereof and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

SECTION 3. CLOSING. 

The sale and purchase of the Series C Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Chapman and Cutler LLP, 320
South Canal Street, Chicago, IL 60606, at 8:00 am Chicago time. The Closing shall be held on May 3, 2022 or on such other Business Day thereafter as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers of the Series C Notes (the
“Closing”). At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Series C Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Series C Note for such Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser (or such
greater number of Series C Notes in denominations of at least $100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser
to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company pursuant to the applicable funding instructions in
Section 4.10. If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Series C Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such
Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure by the Company to tender such
Notes or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction.

Section 4.5. Purchase Permitted By Applicable Law, Etc. On the date of the Closing such Purchaser’s purchase of
Notes shall (a) be permitted by the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction to which such Purchaser is subject, without recourse to provisions (such as section 1405(a)(8) of the New York Insurance Law) permitting limited investments
by insurance companies without restriction as to the character of the particular investment, (b) not violate any applicable law or regulation (including Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and
(c) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty or liability under or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, which law or regulation was not in effect on the date hereof. If requested by such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall have

verbally verify the receipt and amount of the micro deposit to such Purchaser on a telephone call initiated by such Purchaser prior to Closing. The Company shall not be obligated to return the amount of the micro deposit, nor will the amount of
the micro deposit be netted against the Purchaser’s purchase price of the Notes. 
 Section 4.11. Rating. The
Notes shall have received a Rating of “BBB-” (or its equivalent) or better by a Rating Agency. 

Section 4.12. Proceedings and Documents. All corporate and other proceedings in connection with the transactions

enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

Section 5.3. Disclosure. (a) The Company, through its agent, BofA Securities, Inc., has delivered to each

individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the limited liability company power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease
and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, except where the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(d) No Subsidiary is subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 (as
may be updated by the Company for each Closing pursuant to any Supplement executed and delivered in connection with such Closing) and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to
pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not

aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by an amount that has resulted in or could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The term

Person other than the Purchasers and not more than ninety (90) other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Series C Notes at a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has

Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any Securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a
violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). Margin stock does not constitute more than 25% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock
will constitute more than 25% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U. 

Section 5.15. Existing Indebtedness; Future Liens. (a) Except as described therein, Schedule 5.15 (as may be
updated by the Company for each Closing pursuant to any Supplement executed and delivered in connection with such Closing) sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Material Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries

any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, no event or condition exists with respect to any Material Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that
with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Material Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. 

(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15 (as may be updated by the Company for each Closing pursuant to any Supplement executed and delivered
in connection with such Closing), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien that secures Indebtedness or to cause or permit
in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien that secures Indebtedness. 

(c) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing
Material Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary, any agreement relating thereto or any other agreement (including its charter or any other organizational document) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the
incurring of, Material Indebtedness of the Company, except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15 (as may be updated by the Company for each Closing pursuant to any Supplement executed and delivered in connection with such Closing).

in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Prepayment Settlement Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice
of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17.
Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with
Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Prepayment Settlement Amount due

Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Prepayment Settlement Amount as of the specified prepayment date  

Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the
Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not

 Section 8.4. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment
of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the
applicable Prepayment Settlement Amount, if any, or Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Prepayment Settlement Amount,
if any, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in

 -25- 















			
	BLACKSTONE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND	  	NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

  

 
with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 25% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the
Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 5 Business
Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate after the date of the Closing pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement
and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Settlement Amount shall be owed in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 8.5(b). 

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount; Prepayment Settlement Amount. 

“Prepayment Settlement Amount” means, with respect to any Series C Note, an amount equal to the “Prepayment
Settlement Amount”, as follows: 
  

			
	 Prepaid during the period
	  	 Prepayment Settlement Amount

	On or before November 3, 2026	  	Make-Whole Amount
	After November 3, 2026	  	Zero

 “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of
determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:  
 “Called Principal” means,
with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining
Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the
same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to
maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1”
(or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets

	BLACKSTONE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND	  	NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

  

 
for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”)
having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to
maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the
applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life
and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then
“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which
such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant
maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity
will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the
term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such
Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the
scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date,
provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such
Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

Section 8.7. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this
Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without
including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on, or the Prepayment Settlement Amount on, any Note (including
principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next
succeeding Business Day. 
 Section 8.8. Change in Control. (a) Notice of Change in Control.
The Company will, within fifteen Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes. Such notice shall contain and constitute an
offer to prepay Notes as described in subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.8 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (e) of this Section 8.8. 

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.8 shall be an offer to

owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date”). Such date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such
offer (if the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the first Business Day after the 45th day after the date of such offer). 

(c) Acceptance/Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 by causing a notice of
such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than 15 Business Days after receipt by such holder of the most recent offer of prepayment. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this
Section 8.8 shall be deemed to constitute rejection of such offer by such holder. 
 (d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to
be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to, but excluding, the date of prepayment, but without Make-Whole Amount, Prepayment Settlement Amount
or other premium.

Section 5.16) and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective
businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses,

Records. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over
the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets. The

or MFL Cure Right Provision and (i) such MFL Financial Covenant is not contained in this Agreement or (ii) such MFL Financial Covenant or MFL Cure Right Provision would be more beneficial to the holders of Notes than any analogous
restriction, event of default, cure right or provision contained in this Agreement (any such restriction, event of default, cure right or provision, an “Additional Covenant”), then the Company shall provide a Most Favored Lender

financial covenants set forth in Section 10.8 (and have the same related definitions) would be more beneficial to the holders of Notes. Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within ten (10) Business Days after receipt
of such notice by the holders of the Notes, such Additional Covenant (including any associated cure or grace period) shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, or in the case of the absence of an MFL Cure Right
Provision in a Specified Credit Facility that has financial covenants that are the same as the financial covenants set forth in Section 10.8 (and have the same related definitions), the Cure Right set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed
automatically removed from this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein or so removed, without any further action required on the part of any Person, effective as of the date when such Additional Covenant became effective

foregoing.

such Additional Covenant (including any associated cure or grace period) under the Specified Credit Facility that contains the relevant Additional Covenant; provided that if any Default or Event of Default then exists (including in respect of
such Incorporated Covenant) and the amendment of such Additional Covenant would result in such Additional Covenant being less restrictive on the Company, such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically amended at such time as no
Default or Event of Default then exists and (ii) shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Additional Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from the Specified Credit Facility, including if the Specified
Credit Facility is terminated or otherwise no longer in effect; provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists (including in respect of such Incorporated Covenant), such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically
deleted from this Agreement at such time as no Default or Event of Default then exists; provided further, however, that in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if any fee or other consideration shall be given to the lenders under
such Specified Credit Facility for such amendment or deletion, the equivalent of such fee or other consideration shall be given, pro rata, to the holders of the Notes. Upon the request of the Company, the holders of Notes shall (at the
Company’s sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement requested by the Company evidencing the waiver, supplement, modification or amendment or deletion of any such Incorporated Covenant in

to the Company described in Section 11(g), (h) or (i) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause

 (b)
If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Super-Majority Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting the obligations of the
Company under Section 15, the Company will pay on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of up to one firm of outside counsel for all of the holders of the Notes collectively incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12.

option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed

Section 14.2. Payment by Wire Transfer. So long as any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or its nominee shall be the

to any Supplement to which such Additional Purchaser is a party or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser shall have from time to time specified
to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or
prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently

entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Note shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any holder, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed
by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will enable the Company whether or not such holder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements (including FATCA). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any holder that is a United States person shall deliver to the Company on or before the date on which such holder obtains a Note (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such holder is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Any holder that is a not United States person shall deliver to the Company on or before the date on which such
holder obtains a Note (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed copies of the applicable IRS Form W-8 and any documentation prescribed by applicable law as a
basis for claiming exemption (if any) from or a reduction (if any) in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made. If a payment made to a holder under any Note would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such holder were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such holder shall deliver to the Company at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company such
documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such holder has complied with such holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 14.3,
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount or Prepayment Settlement Amount, in each case,
with respect to such Series of Notes; (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver or (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in the
second sentence of Section 8.2 (or such corresponding provision of any Supplement) and Section 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20; and 

(3) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Affiliated Holder, affect any Affiliated Holder more
adversely than any other affected Purchasers, Additional Purchasers or other holders of each Note. 
 (b) Supplements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may enter into any Supplement providing for the issuance of one or more Series of Additional Notes consistent with, and in compliance with, Sections 2.2 and 4.13 hereof
without obtaining the consent of any holder of any other Series of Notes. 
 Section 17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes. 

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each Purchaser and holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance
of the date a decision is required, to enable such Purchaser or such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof, any Supplement or of the
Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guaranty to each Purchaser and holder of a Note promptly
following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Purchasers or holders of Notes.

 (b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any
remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Purchaser or holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such
Purchaser or holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof, any Supplement or of any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit
support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Purchaser or holder of a Note even if such Purchaser or holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guaranty by a holder of a
Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate or (iii) any other Person in connection with, or in anticipation of, such other Person acquiring, making a
tender offer for or merging with the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, in each case in connection with such consent, shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be
effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect
except solely as to such holder. 
 Section 17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to
as provided in this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guaranty applies equally to all Purchasers or holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future Purchaser or holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such
Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.
No course of dealing between the Company and any Purchaser or any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or Subsidiary Guaranty shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Purchaser or any holder of
such Note. 
 Section 17.4. Notes Held by Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the
holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes, or have directed the
taking of any action provided herein or in any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned
by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding except with relation to any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 17.1(a)(1), (2) or (3).

 SECTION 19. REPRODUCTION
OF DOCUMENTS. 
 This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including
(a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other
information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser or
Additional Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or
administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction
of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from
introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction. 
 SECTION 20.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 
 For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential
Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or any Supplement
that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that
such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by
such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s or Additional Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or
any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser or Additional Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of
such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser and Additional Purchaser, provided
that such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its affiliates (who are not Competitors) and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and partners
(to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes) and such disclosure is made on a confidential basis, (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who
agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to 

  
 -55- 















			
	BLACKSTONE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND	  	NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

  

 
which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound
by this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal
or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about
such Purchaser’s or Additional Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order
applicable to such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such
Purchaser’s or Additional Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any Subsidiary Guaranty. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this
Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by
such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 20. 

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the
transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure
virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall
supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking. 
 SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION
OF PURCHASER. 
 Each Purchaser or Additional Purchaser shall have the right to substitute
any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s or Additional Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed
to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this
Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than
in this Section 21) or any Additional Purchaser in any Supplement, shall be deemed 

  
 -56- 















			
	BLACKSTONE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND	  	NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

  

 
to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, as the case may be. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser
hereunder or any Additional Purchaser in any Supplement and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of
notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original
Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, as the case may be, and such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 

SECTION 22. MISCELLANEOUS. 

Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on
behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) permitted hereby, whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.2, the
Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

Section 22.2. Accounting Terms. (a) All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in
this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all
financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company to
measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 –
Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not
been made. 
 (b) If the Company notifies the holders that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect
of any change occurring after the Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Required Holders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such
notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then the Company and the holders agree to enter into negotiations in good faith in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such
change to comply with GAAP with the desired result that the criteria 

  
 -57- 















			
	BLACKSTONE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND	  	NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

  

 
for evaluating the Company’s financial condition shall be the same after such change to comply with GAAP as if such change had not been made; provided, however, until such amendments
to equitably reflect such changes are effective and agreed to by the Company and the Required Holders (or until such notice shall have been withdrawn), the Company’s compliance with such financial covenants shall be determined on the basis of
GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change in GAAP becomes effective. 
 Section 22.3.
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 22.4. Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision
to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision
herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 

Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun
shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word
“will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be
construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes
of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, (b) subject to Section 22.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and
assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all
references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation
as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

 Section 22.5. Counterparts; Electronic Contracting. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but
together signed by all, of the parties hereto. The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this Agreement. Delivery of an electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Agreement or any Supplement by
facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall be fully binding on the parties to the same extent as the delivery of the signed originals and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes. The words “execution,”
“execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of
assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Company, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or
the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic
Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

Section 22.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the
rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the
application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State. 
 Section 22.7. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of
Jury Trial. (a) The Company and each Purchaser irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and each Purchaser and Additional Purchaser irrevocably waives and agrees
not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

(b) The Company and each Purchaser and Additional Purchaser agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in
any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.7(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United
States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment. 

(c) The Company and each Purchaser and Additional Purchaser consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any
suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified, priority or express mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery
confirmation requested, to it at its address 

  
 -59- 















			
	BLACKSTONE PRIVATE CREDIT FUND	  	NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

  

 
specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company and each Purchaser and Additional Purchaser agrees
that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be
valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service. 

(d) Nothing in this Section 22.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit
any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 

(e) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS
AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH
OR THEREWITH.

 SUPPLEMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS 

The Company represents and warrants to each Additional Purchaser that except as hereinafter set forth in this Exhibit A, each of the

references hereinafter set forth) is true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof with respect to the Series ______ Notes with the same force and effect as if each reference to “the Notes” set forth therein was modified
to refer to the “Series ______ Notes” and each reference to “this Agreement” therein was modified to refer to the Note Purchase Agreement as supplemented by the _______ Supplement. The Section references hereinafter set forth
correspond to the similar sections of the Note Purchase Agreement which are supplemented hereby: 
 Section 5.3.
Disclosure. (a) The Company, through its agent, ___________., has delivered to each Purchaser a copy of an [Investor Presentation], dated __________ (the “Presentation”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby in
connection with the Series ________ Notes. The Presentation fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Presentation, the financial
statements listed in Schedule 5.5 and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Additional Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company (other than financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking
information referenced in Section 5.3(b), information relating to third parties and general economic information) prior to __________ in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3 (this Agreement,
the Presentation and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Additional Purchaser being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents,
since ____________, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents. 

(b) All financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking information which has been delivered to each
Additional Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are based upon good faith assumptions and, in the case of financial projections and pro forma financial information, good faith
estimates, in each case, believed to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized that (i) such financial information as it relates to future events is subject to significant uncertainty and contingencies (many of which are beyond the
control of the Company) and are therefore not to be viewed as fact, and (ii) actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may materially differ from the results set forth therein. 

EXHIBIT A 
 (to
Supplement)

(ii) the Company’s directors and senior officers. 
 Section 5.5. Financial Statements; Material
Liabilities. The Company has delivered to each Additional Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of such financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and
notes, but excluding all financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking information) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the
respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved
except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments and lack of footnotes). 

Section 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the
Notes or any substantially similar debt Securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy the Notes or any substantially similar debt Securities from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other than the
Additional Purchasers and not more than ______ other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that
would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any Securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction. 

Section 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Notes
hereunder for the general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries and as otherwise set forth in the section of the _______ entitled “__________”. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used,
directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any
Securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). Margin stock does not constitute
more than ___% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than ___% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the
terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.

funds, installment payments or maturities of the Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries. As of ___________, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any
principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice
