SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

ARTICLE I

SECTION 1.01. Subscription.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained in this subscription agreement (this “Agreement”) entered into between Franklin BSP Real Estate Debt BDC, a Delaware Statutory trust (the “Company”), Benefit Street Partners, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”) and the undersigned (the “Subscriber”), the Subscriber irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase common shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) of the Company, an investment company exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), on the terms and conditions described herein; the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Charter”), which was entered into by the Company’s Board of Trustees on June 7, 2024; the Company’s By-laws, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “By-laws”), which were approved by the Company’s Board of Trustees on April 8, 2024; the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Management Agreement between the Company and the Adviser, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Advisory Agreement”), which was executed on June 7, 2024; and the Administration Agreement between the Company and the Adviser, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Administration Agreement”), which was entered into on May 30, 2024. The Subscriber has received the Charter, the By-laws, the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement. The Company expects to enter into separate subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements,” and, together with this Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with other subscribers (the “Other Subscribers,” and together with the Subscriber, the “Subscribers”), providing for the sale of Shares to the Other Subscribers. This Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements are separate agreements, and the sales of Shares to the undersigned and the Other Subscribers are to be separate sales.

(b) The Subscriber agrees to purchase Shares for an aggregate purchase price equal to the amount set forth on the signature page hereof (such amount with respect to any Subscriber, including the Subscriber, the “Capital Commitment” and together, the “Capital Commitments”), payable at such times and in such amounts as required by the Company, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. On each Capital Drawdown Date (as defined below), the Subscriber agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to issue to the Subscriber, a number of Shares equal to the Drawdown Share Amount at an aggregate price equal to the Drawdown Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no circumstance will a Subscriber be required to purchase Shares for an amount in excess of its Unused Capital Commitment (as defined below).

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

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

“Per Share NAV” shall mean, for any Capital Drawdown Date, the Per Share NAV as determined within forty-eight (48) hours of the Capital Drawdown Date, excluding Sundays and holidays, of such sale, subject to certain exceptions and calculated in accordance with the 1940 Act; provided, however, in the event that the Per Share NAV is less than zero as of the first Capital Drawdown Date that occurs immediately following the Initial Closing Date (as defined below), then solely for the purpose of such Capital Drawdown Date, the Per Share NAV shall be deemed to equal twenty-five dollars ($25).

“Unused Capital Commitment” shall mean, with respect to a Subscriber, the amount of such Subscriber’s Capital Commitment as of any date reduced by the aggregate amount of contributions made by that Subscriber at all previous Capital Drawdown Dates pursuant to Section 1.01(b). For the avoidance of doubt, if the applicable date of determination occurs following the delivery of a Funding Notice to such Subscriber but prior to the Capital Drawdown Date in respect thereof, the amount specified in such Funding Notice (as it may be amended in accordance with this Agreement) shall not be included in such Subscriber’s Unused Capital Commitment unless such amount remains unpaid following the Capital Drawdown Date and any cure period pursuant to Section 3.01.

SECTION 1.02. Closings.

(a) The closing of this subscription agreement will take place at the offices of SS&C GIDS, Inc. (“SS&C”), Suite 219943, 430 W. 7th Street, Kansas City, MO 64105-1407 on the date indicated by the Adviser on the signature page hereof (such date being the “Closing Date” and the date on which the first closing of Subscription Agreements occurred being referred to herein as the “Initial Closing Date”). The Subscriber agrees to provide any information or documents reasonably requested by the Company or the Adviser in connection with this subscription, which may include information or documents requested in order to verify the truth and accuracy of the representations contained herein, or otherwise made, to the Company or the Adviser, including, but not limited to, the investor suitability questionnaire, attached as Appendix A (the “Investor Suitability Questionnaire”). Promptly after the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to the Subscriber or its representative, if the Subscriber’s subscription has been accepted, a countersigned copy of this Agreement and other documents and instruments necessary to reflect the Subscriber’s status as an investor in the Company, including any documents and instruments to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The Company may enter into Other Subscription Agreements with Other Subscribers after the Initial Closing Date, with any subsequent closing thereunder referred to as a “Closing” and any Other Subscriber whose subscription has been accepted at such Closing referred to as a “Subsequent Subscriber” (it being understood that for the purposes of this Section 1.02, if the closing of this Agreement is not on the Initial Closing Date, the Subscriber shall be considered a Subsequent Subscriber). Closings may occur at the beginning of any calendar quarter (or such other times as may be determined by the Adviser in its discretion).

(c) At each Capital Drawdown Date following any Closing, all Subscribers, including Subsequent Subscribers, shall purchase Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.01(b); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the definition of Drawdown Share Amount and the provisions of Section 2.01(b), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from issuing Shares to Subsequent Subscribers whose subscriptions are accepted after the Closing Date at a per share price greater than the Per Share NAV.

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

ARTICLE II

SECTION 2.01. Capital Drawdowns. Subject to Section 2.01(f), purchases of Shares will take place on dates selected by the Company in its sole discretion (each, a “Capital Drawdown Date,” and the initial Capital Drawdown Date, the “Effective Date”) and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.01(b).

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Subscriber, at least five (5) Business Days, or at any time as determined by the Adviser in its sole discretion, prior to each Capital Drawdown Date, a notice substantially in the form of Appendix B (each, a “Funding Notice”) setting forth (i) the Capital Drawdown Date, (ii) the aggregate Drawdown Purchase Price, (iii) the aggregate amount of contributions made by the Subscriber, (iv) the Unused Capital Commitment of the Subscriber and (v) the account to which the Drawdown Purchase Price should be wired. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Business Day” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).

(b) The delivery of a Funding Notice to the Subscriber shall be the sole and exclusive condition to the Subscriber’s obligation to pay the Drawdown Share Purchase Price identified in each Funding Notice.

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

(d) The Company intends to appoint SS&C, as transfer agent and registrar for the Shares, unless and until the Company, in its sole discretion, decides to appoint another third party to act in one or both of those capacities.

(e) The Subscriber will be released from any obligation to purchase additional Shares on the earlier of (i) the date that such Subscriber’s Capital Commitment is fully called and (ii) the 18-month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (such period, the “Investment Period”), except to the extent necessary to preserve or enhance the value of any of the Company’s existing investments, as determined by the Adviser.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Adviser shall have, subject to its fiduciary duty to the Company, the right to exclude any Subscriber (such Subscriber, an “Excluded Subscriber”) in whole or in part from purchasing Shares from the Company on any Capital Drawdown Date, if the Company or the Adviser determines necessary or desirable in order to facilitate compliance with any applicable legal, contractual, regulatory, tax or similar regime.

SECTION 2.02. Pledging.

(a) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subscriber specifically agrees and consents that the Company may, at any time, and without further notice to or consent from the Subscriber (except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement), grant security over (and, in

connection therewith, Transfer (as defined in Section 4.01(e)(i))) its right to draw down capital from the Subscriber pursuant to Section 2.01, and the Company’s right to receive the Drawdown Share Purchase Price (and any related rights of the Company), to lenders or other creditors of the Company, in connection with any indebtedness, guarantee or surety of the Company; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such grantee’s right to draw down capital shall be subject to the limitations on the Company’s right to draw down capital pursuant to Section 2.01.

(b) The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has entered into and may enter into credit facilities (each, a “Facility”) and in connection with such Facility, the Company may grant security over such rights to the administrative agent, or equivalent, under such Facility for the benefit of the lenders thereunder.

(c) The Subscriber further acknowledges that under the terms of this Agreement, the Subscriber is obligated to fund its Unused Capital Commitment required on account of Funding Notices duly delivered in accordance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Funding Notices delivered on behalf of the Company by its agent after an event of default under the Facility or any other borrowing agreement) without deduction, offset, counterclaim or defense. The Subscriber hereby waives all defenses to such funding, including all suretyship defenses and any defenses that may be provided by Section 365(c)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Subscriber does not and will not result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, note or other evidence of indebtedness, or any lease or other agreement, or any license, permit, franchise or certificate, to which the Subscriber is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its properties are subject, or require any authorization or approval under or pursuant to any of the foregoing, violate the organizational documents of the Subscriber, or violate in any material respect any statute, regulation, law, order, writ, injunction or decree to which the Subscriber is subject. The Subscriber has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals and clearances of all courts, governmental agencies and authorities and such other persons, if any, required to permit the Subscriber to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(e) The Subscriber agrees that all payments made by the Subscriber under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer to the account identified in the Funding Notice.

SECTION 2.03. Dividends; Capital Recycling.

(a) The Company generally intends to distribute, out of assets legally available for distribution, substantially all of its available earnings, on a quarterly basis, as determined by the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) in its discretion.

(b) The Company represents and warrants that it shall not make any distributions consisting of securities that are not Marketable Securities except in connection with liquidation distributions pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Charter. “Marketable Securities” means securities which are traded or quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market or on a comparable securities market or exchange now or in the future.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01. Remedies Upon Subscriber Default. In the event that a Subscriber fails to pay all or any portion of the purchase price due from such Subscriber on any Capital Drawdown Date and such default remains uncured for a period of ten (10) Business Days (the date after the expiration of such period, the “Default Date”), the Company shall be permitted to declare such Subscriber to be in default of its obligations under this Agreement (any such Subscriber, a “Defaulting Subscriber”) and shall be permitted to pursue one or any combination of the following remedies:

(a) The Company may prohibit the Defaulting Subscriber from purchasing additional Shares on any future Capital Drawdown Date.

(b) Fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then held by the Defaulting Subscriber shall be automatically transferred on the books of the Company, without any further action being required on the part of the Company or the Defaulting Subscriber, to the Other Subscribers (other than any defaulting Other Subscriber), pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Commitments; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Shares shall be transferred to any Other Subscriber pursuant to this Section 3.01(b) in the event that such transfer would violate the Securities Act, the 1940 Act, or any state (or other jurisdiction) securities or “Blue Sky” laws applicable to the Company or such Transfer; provided further, that any Shares that have not been transferred to one (1) or more Other Subscribers pursuant to the previous proviso shall be allocated among the participating Other Subscribers pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Commitments. The mechanism described in this Section 3.01(b) is intended to operate as a liquidated damage provision, since the damage to Other Subscribers resulting from a default by the Defaulting Subscriber is both significant and not easily susceptible to precise quantification. By entry into this Agreement, the Subscriber agrees to this transfer and acknowledges that it constitutes a reasonable liquidated damage remedy for any default in the Subscriber’s obligation of the type described.

(c) As of the Default Date, the Adviser may, in its sole discretion, reduce the Capital Commitment and Unused Capital Commitment of a Defaulting Subscriber to zero. Each Defaulting Subscriber shall remain fully liable (x) to the creditors of the Company, to the extent provided by law and (y) for the full amount of any other Capital Commitments for which such Defaulting Subscriber is liable pursuant to clause (a) of Section 2.01(f), in each case as if such default had not occurred.

(d) The Adviser may require the non-Defaulting Subscribers to increase their capital contributions to the Company with respect to a Funding Notice (other than a Funding Notice in respect of management fees) for which one or more Defaulting Subscribers have defaulted by delivery of a supplemental notice to each non-Defaulting Subscriber indicating the fact that a default has occurred and the additional capital contribution required to be made by such Subscriber in respect of such Funding Notice, which additional capital contribution shall, subject to Section 2.01(g), be determined on the basis of the ratio of such non-Defaulting Subscriber’s Unused Capital Commitment to the sum of the Unused Capital Commitments of all non-Defaulting Subscribers participating in such Funding Notice, in which case each such non-Defaulting Subscriber shall make such additional contribution within five (5) days after having been given such new notice; provided that (i) except in the case of a capital contribution to repay a borrowing by the Company, a Subscriber’s obligations to make additional capital contributions pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.01; (ii) no Subscriber shall be obligated to contribute an amount in excess of its Unused Capital Commitment as of such date for such purpose; and (iii) in the event that any non-Defaulting Subscriber increases its capital contribution with respect to a Funding Notice in respect of the repayment of borrowings used to pay management fees, the amount of any such increase attributable to management fees owing or paid by or on behalf of a Defaulting Subscriber shall be credited against future obligations of such non-Defaulting Subscriber with respect to management fees.

(e) The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, cause a Defaulting Subscriber to sell its Shares in the Company or any portion thereof to any person (including any other Subscriber) effective immediately upon written notice to such Defaulting Subscriber. Such Defaulting Subscriber’s Shares may be sold for the lesser of (i) the net asset value of such Defaulting Subscriber’s Shares and (ii) the aggregate amount of capital contributions made by the Defaulting Subscriber less any distributions previously received by such Defaulting Subscriber pursuant to Article II and less any actual or anticipated expenses, deductions or losses allocated to the Defaulting Subscriber, in each case reduced by up to fifty percent (50%).

(f) Each Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Adviser and the Company would have no adequate remedy at law for a breach of this Agreement and consents to the application to it of the remedies provided in this Section 3.01 in recognition of the risk and speculative damages its default would cause the other Subscribers, and further agrees that the availability or application of such remedies shall not preclude any other remedies which may be available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise in respect of any default by such Subscriber in the performance of its other obligations under this Agreement. No course of dealing between the Adviser and any Defaulting Subscriber and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred in this Section 3.01 or existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise will operate as a waiver or otherwise prejudice any such right, power or remedy. In addition to the foregoing, the Adviser may institute a lawsuit against any Defaulting Subscriber for damages and any other available remedies, including specific performance of its obligation to make Capital Commitments and any other payments to be made hereunder by a Subscriber and to collect any overdue amounts hereunder, with interest on such overdue amounts. Each Subscriber agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement against such Subscriber as a result of a default by such Subscriber.

(g) Each Subscriber acknowledges that the Adviser may, in its sole discretion, apply different default remedies to each Defaulting Subscriber in light of the specific circumstances applicable to each such Defaulting Subscriber. The remedies available to the Adviser herein may be applied to each separate event of default hereunder by a Subscriber.

(h) The Company may pursue any other remedies against the defaulting Subscriber available to the Company, subject to applicable law.

ARTICLE IV

SECTION 4.01. Subscriber Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows:

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

(b) The Subscriber is acquiring the Shares for the Subscriber’s own account as principal for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof.

(c) The Subscriber is sophisticated and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is and will be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares.

The Subscriber understands that the Company requires each investor in the Company to be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the 1933 Act (an “Accredited Investor”) and the Subscriber represents and warrants that it is an Accredited Investor.

(ii) The Subscriber represents and warrants that it, and, if the Subscriber is not the sole beneficial owner (as defined under Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act) of its Shares, any such other beneficial owner, has not been subject to or experienced a Disqualifying Event¹ for purposes of Rule 506(d) promulgated under the 1933 Act and that the Subscriber shall provide the Company and the Adviser with prompt written notice if it or any such beneficial owner is subject to, or experiences, a Disqualifying Event.

(f) The Subscriber: (i) is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act; (ii) has not elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act; and (iii) is not relying on the exception from the definition of “investment company” under the 1940 Act set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) thereunder, unless, in each case, the Subscriber is permitted to purchase the Shares in accordance with Section 12 of the 1940 Act and any rules thereunder.

In addition, the Subscriber understands that with respect to the Company, the Adviser intends to rely upon a related exclusion from the definition of commodity trading advisor under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Company, its investment strategies or its offering memorandum, or this subscription document.

(l) The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the Charter and the Advisory Agreement, the Company and/or the Adviser have the power and discretion to make all investment decisions in accordance with the terms of such Charter and the Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, the Subscriber acknowledges that neither the Company, the Adviser nor any affiliate (as such term is defined in the 1933 Act) thereof has rendered or will render any investment advice or securities valuation advice to the Subscriber, and that the Subscriber is neither subscribing for nor acquiring any Shares in reliance upon, or with the expectation of, any such advice. Furthermore, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the marketing of the Company by the Adviser and its affiliates does not constitute a recommendation or investment advice.

(m) The Subscriber has been furnished with and reviewed the Charter, the By-laws, the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement. The Subscriber was offered the Shares through private negotiations, not through any general solicitation or general advertising, and the proposed purchase of Shares by the Subscriber is an arm’s length transaction. Other than as set forth herein and in the Charter, the By-laws, the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, the Subscriber is not relying upon any information (including, without limitation, any due diligence questionnaire, “flipbook” or other materials, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, website or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and any seminars or meetings whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or advertising) provided by the Company, the Adviser, any affiliate of the foregoing or any agent of them, written or otherwise, in determining to invest in the Company.

(n) The Subscriber has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Adviser, the Company and their respective personnel relating to the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of the purchase of Shares and other matters pertaining to this investment, and has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Company as it has considered necessary to verify the accuracy of any information provided and to make a decision to invest in the Company, and has availed itself of this opportunity to the full extent desired.

SECTION 10.13. Confidentiality.

(a) Each Subscriber shall maintain the confidentiality of (i) Non-Public Information (as defined below) and (ii) any information subject to a confidentiality agreement binding upon the Adviser, Franklin Templeton, or the Company and made known to the Subscribers; provided that each Subscriber may disclose Non-Public Information to (i) its affiliates, officers, employees, agents and professional consultants who have a bona fide need to know such information for purposes of monitoring or managing such Subscriber’s investments, or for financial, legal or accounting purposes, and who have agreed to or are otherwise subject to a duty to keep such information confidential and to not otherwise use such information in a manner inconsistent with this Section 10.13, it being understood that such Subscriber shall be responsible and liable for any disclosure or use by any such affiliates, officers, employees, agents or professional consultants of such information in a manner inconsistent with this Section 10.13, (ii) persons having or purporting to have regulatory authority over such Subscriber or its affiliates; provided that such persons are advised that the Non-Public Information is confidential, or (iii) to a potential transferee of all or part of such Subscriber’s Shares, if such potential transferee agrees to be bound by a confidentiality agreement substantially identical to the provisions of this Section 10.13, it being understood that (unless otherwise agreed by the Adviser in writing) such Subscriber shall be responsible and liable for any breach by any such potential transferee; and provided, further, that each Subscriber may disclose Non-Public Information it is required to disclose pursuant to any law or legal process, in which event each Subscriber agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Adviser with notice of such intended disclosure, including, without limitation, by following the procedures set forth in the last sentence of Section 10.13(b). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Subscriber acknowledges that notices and reports to Subscribers hereunder may contain material Non-Public Information concerning, among other things, portfolio investments and agrees (i) to use any information provided to it by the Company or the Adviser only in good faith to monitor and manage its Shares in the Company and (ii) not to trade in securities on the basis of any material Non-Public Information provided to it by the Company or the Adviser.

(b) As used in this Section 10.13, “Non-Public Information” means information regarding the Company (including (i) information regarding any actual or potential investment or any person in which the Company holds, or contemplates acquiring, any investment and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement, any Subscription Agreement and any side letter) and Franklin Templeton (or its affiliates) received by such Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement, but does not include information that (x) was publicly known at the time such Subscriber received such information pursuant to this Agreement, (y) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Subscriber or its affiliates, employees, representatives, or agents, or (z) is communicated to such Subscriber by a third party free of any obligation of confidence known to such Subscriber. The Subscribers and Adviser acknowledge and agree that information relating to any person in which the Company holds, or contemplates acquiring, any investment, the provisions of this Agreement and the identities of the Subscribers are intended to be treated as “trade secrets” of the Company and the Adviser. Furthermore, each Subscriber agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to (1) promptly notify the Adviser if it has received a request to disclose any Non-Public Information (other than Fund Level Information), (2) consult with the Adviser regarding the response to such disclosure request, and (3) work together with the Adviser to reach an alternative arrangement with respect to such Subscriber’s information rights, satisfactory to both the Adviser and such Subscriber, if necessary to avoid or prevent any such disclosure or any future disclosures.

(c) In the event that the Adviser determines in good faith (i) that a Subscriber has violated, or is reasonably likely to violate, the provisions of this Section 10.13, (ii) that the dissemination of certain confidential information of the Company to a Subscriber is reasonably likely to result in adverse consequences to the Company, its affiliates, any portfolio investment or any proposed portfolio investment, or (iii) in the case of a Subscriber that is subject to the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, or any similar statutory or regulatory disclosure requirement of any state or other jurisdiction (collectively, “FOIA”), that there is a reasonable likelihood that a request to such Subscriber pursuant to FOIA or any such law or statutory or regulatory requirement would result in the disclosure of Non-Public Information, other than aggregate performance information about the Company (including aggregate cash flows and overall “IRRs”), the year of formation of the Company, aggregate Capital Commitments to the Company and Fund Level Information, the Adviser may (1) withhold all or any part of the information otherwise to be provided to such Subscriber other than Fund Level Information and redacted annual financial statements, (2) require such Subscriber to return, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any copies of any such information provided to it by the Adviser or the Company, (3) make any such information available to such Subscriber at the Adviser’s offices or at the offices of another person that has agreed to keep such information confidential, or (4) make such information available to such Subscriber only on the Company’s website in password-protected, non-downloadable, non-printable format. Each Subscriber shall promptly notify the Adviser if at any time such Subscriber is or becomes subject to FOIA, to the extent not previously set forth in such Subscriber’s Subscription Agreement.

(d) Except as otherwise required by (or desirable in order to comply with) applicable law or regulations or the rules of relevant governmental entities or regulatory bodies, including as the Adviser determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with any regulatory or similar examination, the Adviser may not disclose the identity of the Subscribers, except (i) on a confidential basis, to the other Subscribers, to prospective subscribers in the Company, to prospective lenders to, or other creditors of, the Company or a portfolio investment, to other service providers to the Company, or any portfolio investment to the extent reasonably necessary or appropriate to satisfy any “know your customer”, anti-money laundering or other such similar requirements or to any of the Adviser’s affiliates,

officers, employees, agents and professional consultants upon notification to such affiliate, officer, employee, agent or consultant that such disclosure is made in confidence and shall be kept in confidence or (ii) as may be necessary or desirable in connection with the making, management or disposition of any investment.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Subscriber (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Subscriber) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the offering of shares in the Company and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Subscriber relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, “tax structure” means any facts relevant to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the offering but does not include information relating to the identity of the Company or the Adviser.

(f) The obligations and undertakings of each Subscriber under this Section 10.13 shall be continuing and shall survive dissolution of the Company and this Agreement and, with respect to any Subscriber, such Subscriber’s withdrawal from the Company. Any restriction or obligation imposed on a Subscriber pursuant to this Section 10.13 may be waived by the Adviser in its discretion. Any such waiver or modification by the Adviser shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied in law or in equity to any Subscriber.

(g) The Subscribers acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Company or the Adviser and its members may acquire confidential information related to third parties that pursuant to fiduciary, contractual, legal or similar obligations cannot be disclosed to the Subscribers; and (ii) neither the Company nor the Adviser and its members shall be in breach of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) under this Agreement in consequence of acquiring, holding or failing to disclose such information to the Subscribers so long as such obligations were undertaken in good faith.

(h) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if the provisions of this Section 10.13 were breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Section 10.13 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

SECTION 10.14. Necessary Acts, Further Assurances. The parties shall at their own cost and expense execute and deliver such further documents and instruments and shall take such other actions as may be reasonably required or appropriate to evidence or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement or to show the ability to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.15. No Joint Liability Among Company and Adviser. The Company shall not be liable for the fulfillment of any obligation or the accuracy of any representation of the Adviser under or in connection with this Agreement, and the Adviser shall not be liable for the fulfillment of any obligation or the accuracy of any representation of the Company under or in connection with this Agreement. There shall be no joint and several liability of the Company and the Adviser for any obligation under or in connection with this Agreement.

SECTION 10.16. Survival. The representations, warranties, acknowledgments and covenants in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 5.01 and the provisions of Sections 10.01, 10.10, 10.11, 10.13 and 10.15 shall, in the event this subscription is accepted, survive such acceptance and the formation and dissolution of the Company.

SECTION 10.17. Non-Petition. The Subscriber hereby agrees that it shall not take any action to present a petition or commence any case, proceeding, proposal or other action under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement in the nature of insolvency proceedings, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or analogous relief with respect to the Company or the Adviser or the debts of the Company or the Adviser unless and until a debt is immediately due and payable by the Company or the Adviser to the Subscriber; provided, that the foregoing shall in no way be construed to limit the Subscriber’s ability to seek to enforce or take any other action with respect to its rights pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Subscriber, intending to be legally bound, has executed this Agreement as of ______________.

IV. Status as an Accredited Investor

This offering is being made privately by the Company pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act. Shares offered pursuant to the private placement exemption generally are available only to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Accredited Investors”). The applicability of such exemption is in part dependent upon your answers to the following questions:

(A) If the subscriber is an individual:
(1)   Does the subscriber have an individual net worth14 or joint net worth15 with his or her spouse (or spousal equivalent)16 exceeding $1,000,000?	☐ YES ☐ NO
(2)   Does the subscriber have an individual income17 in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with his or her spouse (or spousal equivalent) in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and have a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year?	☐ YES ☐ NO
(3)   Is the subscriber a holder in good standing of a Series 7, Series 65 or Series 82 license?	☐ YES ☐ NO

¹⁴  For purposes of calculating the subscriber’s net worth: (i) the subscriber’s primary residence must not be included as an asset; (ii) indebtedness secured by the subscriber’s primary residence, up to the estimated fair market value of the primary residence must not be included as a liability (except that if the amount of such indebtedness outstanding at the time of calculation exceeds the amount outstanding 60 days before such time, other than as a result of the acquisition of the primary residence, the amount of such excess must be included as a liability); and (iii) indebtedness that is secured by the subscriber’s primary residence in excess of the estimated fair market value of the residence must be included as a liability.

¹⁵  For purposes of calculating the subscriber’s joint net worth with the subscriber’s spouse (or spousal equivalent): (i) joint net worth can be the aggregate net worth of the subscriber and the subscriber’s spouse (or spousal equivalent); and (ii) assets need not be held jointly to be included in the calculation. Reliance on the joint net worth standard does not require that the Shares be purchased jointly.

¹⁶  The term “spousal equivalent” means a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to that of a spouse.

¹⁷  Generally, this means “adjusted gross income” as reported for U.S. federal income tax purposes, less any income attributable to a spouse (or spousal equivalent) or to property owned by a spouse (or spousal equivalent) and increased by the following amounts (but not including any portion of such amounts attributable to a spouse (or spousal equivalent) or to property owned by a spouse (or spousal equivalent)): (i) the amount of any tax-exempt interest income received; (ii) the amount of losses claimed as a limited partner in a limited partnership; (iii) any deduction claimed for depreciation; and (iv) any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income.

(4)   Is the subscriber a “family client” as defined in the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended from time to time (the “Advisers Act”), whose purchase is directed by a “family office” as defined in the Advisers Act (i) with assets under management in excess of $5,000,000, (ii) not formed for the specific purpose of directing the subscriber’s acquisition of Shares and (iii) with such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that such family office is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment?	☐ YES ☐ NO
(B)  If the subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity, the subscriber certifies that it is one of the following (please check all that apply):

V. Background Information Relating to Certain ERISA Matters

Until such time as the all classes of equity interests in the Company are considered “publicly-offered securities” within the meaning of ERISA and certain Department of Labor regulations, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, as amended from time to time (the “Plan Asset Regulations”), the Company intends to operate so that less than 25% of the total value of our Common Shares in the Company are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations (“Benefit Plan Investors”), so that investment by Benefit Plan Investors should not be significant and the assets of the Company should not be considered “plan assets” under ERISA or the Plan Asset Regulations (the “25% Test”). In order to meet the requirements of the 25% Test, the Company may prohibit any Subscriber from purchasing Shares from the Company on any Capital Drawdown date, and may prohibit certain transfers of Capital Commitments and/or Shares so as to avoid the Company holding “plan assets” within the meaning of ERISA.

XVII. CFIUS Status

Capitalized terms used, and not otherwise defined, in this Section XVII shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in this Agreement. In connection with promulgated regulations for 31 C.F.R. Chapter VIII (“CFIUS Regulations”), Benefit Street Partners has determined that any entity that is a “foreign person” as defined in the CFIUS Regulations (i.e., is a non-U.S. legal entity or has sufficient ownership or influence by non-U.S. persons or entities to constitute foreign “control” for purposes of the CFIUS Regulations) (a “CFIUS Entity”) that holds more than 33% of the aggregate voting shares of the Subscriber (as applicable) will be excluded for purposes of determining whether a requisite voting threshold under the Charter has been met, solely to the extent of such Subscriber’s interest in excess of 33%. This is intended to help the Company avoid treatment as a “foreign person” under the CFIUS Regulations.

We kindly ask that you confirm whether the Subscriber is a CFIUS Entity under the terms of this Agreement. ☐ YES ☐ NO
