amended and supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture (the First Supplemental Indenture together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to provide for the issuance by the Company from time to time of the Company’s
unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (the “Securities”), to be issued in one or more series as provided in the Base Indenture. 

The Company has duly authorized the creation issue and sale of (a) $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.650% Notes
due 2023 (the “Initial Notes”) and (b) if and when issued as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement in a Registered Exchange Offer in exchange for any Initial Notes or otherwise registered under the Securities Act and
issued in the form of Exhibit A, the Company’s 3.650% Notes due 2023 (the “Exchange Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes, the “Notes”). The Initial Notes, the Exchange

Sections 9.01(4) and 9.01(6) of the Base Indenture provide that without the consent of Holders of the Securities of any series issued under
the Base Indenture (as supplemented or amended from time to time by one or more indentures supplemental thereto), the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into
one or more indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture to (i) change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Base Indenture (as supplemented or amended from time to time by one or more indentures supplemental thereto) when there is no
Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of the supplemental indenture that is entitled to the benefit of such provision and (ii) establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Section 2.01
and Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture. 
 The Company desires to establish the form and terms of the Notes and to modify, alter,

Indenture”)). 












 The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental
Indenture to provide for the issuance of the Notes and all acts and things necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding, and legal obligation of the Company and to constitute a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance

reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the

redemption of the Notes, on any Redemption Date, the following terms have the meanings set forth below: 
 “Treasury Rate”
means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (computed as of the
third Business Day immediately preceding the redemption), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Redemption Price
and the Treasury Rate will be determined by the Company. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury
security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financing practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed. 
 “Comparable
Treasury Price” means (1) the average of the remaining Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Quotation Agent
obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent”
means a Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) Citigroup
Global Markets Inc., (2) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and (3) a primary U.S. government securities dealer selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S.
government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall select another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the

at 3:30 p.m. New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 
 All determinations made by any Reference
Treasury Dealer, including the Quotation Agent, with respect to determining the Redemption Price will be final and binding absent manifest error. 

(i) Notice of redemption shall be given in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or by overnight courier guaranteeing next-day delivery, to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed, not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date, at the Holder’s address appearing in the Security

 (ii) Any
exercise of the Company’s option to redeem the Notes will be done in compliance with the Investment Company Act, to the extent applicable. 

(iii) If the Company elects to redeem only a portion of the Notes, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with
the applicable procedures of the Trustee and, so long as the Notes are registered to the Depositary or its nominee, the Depositary; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note
not redeemed to less than $2,000. 
 (iv) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date,
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption hereunder.

100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control
Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute
or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The
notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The
Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in
connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. 
 To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 13.01, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 13.01 by virtue of
such conflict. 

  
 - 21 - 













 On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, subject to extension if necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes or
portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to its offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase
price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes
properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

The Paying Agent will promptly remit to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly
authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 If any Repayment Date upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event falls on a
day that is not a Business Day, then the required payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment. 

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes an
offer in respect of the Notes in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.”

 Blackstone / GSO Secured Lending Fund 

3.650% Notes due 2023 
 This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of July 15, 2020 (herein called the
“Base Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any
successor trustee under the Base Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Base Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, and the
Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, relating to the Securities, dated as of July 15, 2020, by and
between the Company and the Trustee (herein called the “First Supplemental Indenture”; and the First Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture collectively are herein called the “Indenture”). In the event of any
conflict between the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture shall govern and control. 
 This
Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $                    .
Under a Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Board Resolutions or an indenture supplement, the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Securities, issue additional Securities of this series (in any
such case “Additional Securities”) having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Securities, provided that, if such Additional Securities are not fungible with the Securities (or any other
tranche of Additional Securities) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such Additional Securities will have different CUSIP numbers from the Securities represented hereby (and any such other tranche of Additional Securities). Any Additional
Securities and the existing Securities will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Securities herein shall include the Additional Securities unless the context otherwise requires. The aggregate amount of
outstanding Securities represented hereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. 

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, at the option of the Company, at
a Redemption Price per security equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date: 

 

	 	(A)	 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or 



 

	 	(B)	 the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of
accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption Date) on the Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve
30-day months) using the applicable Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points. 


 For
purposes of calculating the Redemption Price in connection with the redemption of the Notes, on any Redemption Date, the following terms have the meanings set forth below: 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding the redemption), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury
Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Redemption Price and the Treasury Rate will be determined by the Company. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financing practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to
the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed. 

  
 A–4 













 “Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of the remaining
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the
average of all such quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means a Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., (2) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC
and (3) a primary U.S. government securities dealer selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary
Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall select another Primary Treasury Dealer 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations”
means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

All determinations made by any Reference Treasury Dealer, including the Quotation Agent, with respect to determining the Redemption Price will
be final and binding absent manifest error. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or by
overnight courier guaranteeing next-day delivery, to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed, not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date, at the
Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall contain the information set forth in Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture. 

Any exercise of the Company’s option to redeem the Securities will be done in compliance with the Investment Company Act, to the extent
applicable. 
 If the Company elects to redeem only a portion of the Securities, the particular Securities to be redeemed will be selected
in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Trustee and, so long as the Securities are registered to the Depositary or its nominee, the Depositary. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of
this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal
amount of a Security not redeemed to less than $2,000. 
 Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities called for redemption. 
 Holders will have the right to require the
Company to repurchase their Securities upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event as set forth in the Indenture. 
 The
Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth
in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing (other than Events of
Default related to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization as set forth in the Indenture), the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in the Indenture, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest on the Securities will automatically become due and payable. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be 

  
 A–5 













 
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding
of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such
series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default
as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity, security, or both, satisfactory to the Trustee, against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity and/or security. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates
expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a
different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall
govern and be controlling.
