INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

BETWEEN

FS INVESTMENT ADVISOR, LLC

AND

GSO CAPITAL PARTNERS LP

THIS INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) made this 28th day of April, 2011, by and between FS INVESTMENT ADVISOR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”) and GSO CAPITAL PARTNERS LP, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sub-Adviser”).

WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are investment advisers that are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and engage in the business of providing investment management services; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser has been retained to act as the investment adviser to FS Energy and Power Fund (the “BDC”), a closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement dated April 28, 2011 (the “Advisory Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and

WHEREAS, Section 1(f) of the Advisory Agreement permits the Adviser, subject to the supervision and direction of the BDC’s board of trustees (the “Board”), to delegate certain of its duties thereunder to other investment advisers, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser desires to retain the Sub-Adviser to assist it in fulfilling certain of its obligations under the Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Adviser is willing to render such services subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Duties of the Sub-Adviser.

(a) Retention of Sub-Adviser. The Adviser hereby employs the Sub-Adviser to assist the Adviser in managing the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the BDC, subject to the terms set forth herein and subject to the supervision of the Board.

(b) Responsibilities of Sub-Adviser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sub-Adviser shall, during the term and subject to the provisions of this Agreement:

(i) make recommendations to the Adviser as to the composition and allocation of the portfolio of the BDC, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the manner of implementing such changes, including recommendations as to the specific securities and other assets to be purchased, retained, or sold by the BDC;

(ii) place orders with respect to, and arrange for, any investment, upon receiving a proper instruction from the Adviser;

(iii) assist the Adviser in identifying, evaluating and negotiating the structure of the investments made by the BDC;

(iv) assist the Adviser in monitoring and servicing the BDC’s investments;

(v) assist the Adviser in performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies; and

(vi) provide the Adviser with such other research and related services as the Adviser may, from time to time, reasonably require for the Adviser to manage the BDC.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all investment decisions will ultimately be the responsibility of the Adviser. Furthermore, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Sub-Adviser shall be required to provide only the services expressly described in this Section 1(b), and shall have no responsibility to provide any other services to the Adviser or the BDC, including, but not limited to, administrative (such as valuation-related services), management or other similar services.

(c) Acceptance of Employment. The Sub-Adviser hereby agrees during the term hereof to render the services described herein for the compensation provided herein, subject to the limitations contained herein. The Sub-Adviser shall carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement in compliance with: (i) the BDC’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions as set forth in the BDC’s current registration statement; (ii) such policies, directives, regulatory restrictions and compliance policies as the Adviser may from time to time establish or issue and communicate to the Sub-Adviser in writing; and (iii) applicable law and related regulations. The Adviser shall promptly notify the Sub-Adviser in writing of changes to (i) or (ii) above and shall notify the Sub-Adviser in writing of changes to (iii) above promptly after it becomes aware of such changes. In no event shall the Sub-Adviser be held responsible for failing to comply with any of (i), (ii) or (iii) unless it had previously received the notification in the foregoing sentence.

(d) Independent Contractor Status. The Sub-Adviser shall, for all purposes herein provided, be deemed to be an independent contractor and, except as expressly provided or authorized herein, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Adviser or the BDC in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Adviser or the BDC.

2. Expenses.

Except as provided below in this Section 2, the Sub-Adviser assumes no obligation with respect to, and shall not be responsible for, the expenses of the Adviser or the BDC in fulfilling the Sub-Adviser’s obligations hereunder.

During the term of this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with the activities it undertakes to meet its obligations hereunder. The Sub-Adviser shall, at its sole expense, employ or associate itself with such persons as it believes to be particularly fitted to assist it in the execution of its duties under this Agreement, including without limitation, persons employed or otherwise retained by the Sub-Adviser or made available to the Sub-Adviser by its members or affiliates. The Adviser shall cause the Sub-Adviser to be reimbursed by the BDC or the Adviser, as appropriate, for expenses reasonably incurred by the Sub-Adviser at the request of or on behalf of the BDC or the Adviser, to the same extent as such expenses would be reimbursable to the Adviser pursuant to Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of the Advisory Agreement had such expenses been incurred by the Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall maintain and supply to the BDC and the Adviser as they may reasonably request, records of all such expenses.

3. Compensation.

In consideration for the Sub-Adviser’s services hereunder, with respect to each Term Year (as defined below), the Adviser shall pay the Sub-Adviser the fee described below, payable quarterly in arrears (within 10 days of when fees are paid to the Adviser):

(a) With respect to any fees (including, without limitation, the Base Management Fees and Incentive Fees, as such terms are defined in the Advisory Agreement) payable to the Adviser (and not waived) pursuant to the Advisory Agreement during a Term Year, the Sub-Adviser shall be entitled to receive 50% of any such amounts.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated other than at the end of a calendar year, for purposes of determining fees payable to the Sub-Adviser during the Term Year in which such termination occurs, the advisory fees payable to the Adviser shall be calculated as if the Advisory Agreement terminated as of the termination date of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Term Year” shall mean each annual period beginning on the Effective Date (as defined in Section 9 hereof) or anniversary thereof, and ending on the day prior to the anniversary of the Effective Date.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Sub-Adviser.

(a) The Sub-Adviser shall be registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and shall maintain such registration;

(b) The Sub-Adviser is a limited partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with the power to own and possess its assets and carry on its business as it is now being conducted;

Upon written request of the Adviser or the BDC, the Sub-Adviser shall permit representatives of the Adviser or the BDC to examine the reports (or summaries of the reports) required to be made to the Sub-Adviser by Rule 17j-1(c)(1) and other records evidencing enforcement of the code of ethics; and

(f) The Sub-Adviser shall comply in all material respects with all requirements applicable to the investment adviser of a business development company like the BDC under the Advisers Act and the 1940 Act.

The Adviser represents and warrants to the Sub-Adviser and the BDC as follows:

(a) The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and shall maintain such registration;

(b) The Adviser is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with the power to own and possess its assets and carry on its business as it is now being conducted;

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by the Adviser of this Agreement are within the Adviser’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action and no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official is required on the part of the Adviser for the execution, delivery and performance by the Adviser of this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance by the Adviser of this Agreement do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any provision of applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) the Adviser’s governing instruments, or (iii) any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Adviser;

(d) Part II of the Adviser’s most recent Form ADV filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 203(c) of the Advisers Act, previously provided to the Sub-Adviser, is a true and complete copy of the form. The Adviser will promptly provide the Sub-Adviser with a complete copy of all subsequent amendments to Part II of its Form ADV;

(e) The Adviser and the BDC have duly entered into the Advisory Agreement pursuant to which the BDC authorized the Adviser to enter into this Agreement;

(f) The Adviser shall comply in all material respects with all requirements applicable to the investment adviser of a business development company like the BDC under the Advisers Act and the 1940 Act;

(g) The Adviser has implemented anti-money laundering policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to comply with applicable provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and any other applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations;

(h) To the Adviser’s knowledge, the assets of the BDC, were (A) not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that may contravene applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money laws and regulations and the laws, regulations and Executive Orders administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and (B) derived from the offering of the BDC’s interests;

(i) The Adviser (or any person controlling or controlled by the Adviser, any person having a beneficial interest in the Adviser, or any person for whom the Adviser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with the BDC) is not (A) an individual or entity named on any available lists of known or suspected terrorists, terrorist organizations or of other sanctioned persons issued by the United States government and the government(s) of any jurisdiction(s) in which the Adviser is doing business, including the SDN List administered by OFAC, as such list may be amended from time to time; (B) an individual or entity otherwise prohibited by the OFAC sanctions programs; or (C) a current or former senior foreign political figure (“SFPF”) or politically exposed person (“PEP”), or an immediate family member or close associate of such an individual;

(j) The Adviser, upon reasonable request by the Sub-Adviser, will provide such information as the Sub-Adviser may need to satisfy applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations; and

(k) The Adviser acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates perform investment advisory services for various clients and accounts (which may include registered investment companies). The Adviser agrees that the Sub-Adviser may give advice and take action with respect to any of its other clients or accounts which may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to any client or account so long as it is the Sub-Adviser’s policy, to the extent practicable, to recommend for allocation and/or allocate investment opportunities to the client or account on a fair and equitable basis relative to its other clients and accounts. It is understood that the Sub-Adviser shall not have any obligation to recommend for purchase or sale any loans which its principals, affiliates or employees may purchase or sell for its or their own accounts or for any other client or account if, in the opinion of the Sub-Adviser, such transaction or investment appears unsuitable, impractical or undesirable for the Adviser (on behalf of the BDC);

(ii) the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates may aggregate purchase or sale orders for the assets with purchase or sale orders for the same security for other clients’ accounts of the Sub-Adviser or of its affiliates, the Sub-Adviser’s own accounts and hold proprietary positions in accordance with its current aggregation and allocation policy (collectively, the “Advisory Clients”), but only if (x) in the Sub-Adviser’s reasonable judgment such aggregation results in an overall economic or other benefit to the assets taking into consideration the advantageous selling or purchase price, brokerage commission and other expenses and factors and (y) the Sub-Adviser’s actions with respect to aggregating orders for multiple Advisory Clients, as well as the Adviser (on behalf of the BDC), are consistent with applicable law. However, the Sub-Adviser is under no obligation to aggregate any such orders under any circumstances;

(iii) the Adviser further acknowledges that circumstances may arise under which the Sub-Adviser determines there is a limited supply or demand for a particular security. Under such circumstances, the Sub-Adviser shall recommend for allocation and/or allocate such security to the Adviser (on behalf of the BDC) and the Advisory Client in accordance with its then-current aggregation and allocation policy and in a fair and equitable manner consistent with its fiduciary duties owed to the Adviser and such other Advisory Clients;

(iv) as a regular part of the restructuring and advisory practice of an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser (the “Restructuring Affiliate”), the Restructuring Affiliate advises debtors and creditors in connection with out-of-court debt restructurings and workouts and with bankruptcy proceedings. The Restructuring Affiliate also serves as adviser to official creditor committees established pursuant to such proceedings. In situations in which an issuer of an investment recommended to the Adviser (on behalf of the BDC) (or a creditor or group of creditors of such issuer) is a client or potential client of the restructuring and reorganization advisory practice

(any such investment, a “Conflicted Investment”), the Sub-Adviser may recommend the sale of the Conflicted Investment or take such other actions as reasonably necessary to the extent deemed advisable by the Restructuring Affiliate, in consultation with the Sub-Adviser’s compliance officer, in order to avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest with the restructuring and reorganization advisory practice, whether or not such recommended disposition or other actions would otherwise be in the best interests of the Adviser (or the BDC); provided, however, in each case any recommendation or action on the part of the Sub-Adviser must be in compliance with the 1940 Act. Further, there may also be instances in which the work of the restructuring and reorganization advisory practice prevents the Sub-Adviser from recommending the purchase of an investment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere herein, due to certain confidentiality obligations which the Restructuring Affiliate may be subject to, the Sub-Adviser shall not be obligated to inform the Adviser at the time of any action related to Conflicted Investments;

(v) the Adviser acknowledges receipt of Part II of the Sub-Adviser’s Form ADV filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 203(c) of the Advisers Act, which states information relative to the Sub-Adviser’s investment and brokerage policies and other important matters, and which the Sub-Adviser warrants is the current filing of such form, at least 48 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement, as required by Rule 204-3 under the Advisers Act;

(vi) the Adviser acknowledges that the Sub-Adviser makes no warranty that any investments recommended by the Sub-Adviser hereunder will not depreciate in value or at any time not be affected by adverse tax consequences, nor does it give any warranty as to the performance or profitability of the assets or the success of any investment strategy recommended by the Sub-Adviser; and

(vii) the Adviser acknowledges that it has received, read and understood the Sub-Adviser’s disclosures regarding conflicts of interest attached hereto as Exhibit B.

6. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Duty to Update Information.

All representations and warranties made by the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser pursuant to Sections 4 and 5, respectively, shall survive for the duration of this Agreement and the parties hereto shall promptly notify each other in writing upon becoming aware that any of the foregoing representations and warranties are no longer true.

7. Liability and Indemnification.

(a) The duties of the Sub-Adviser shall be confined to those expressly set forth herein. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any loss arising out of any instrument hereunder,

except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, except as may otherwise be provided under provisions of applicable state law which cannot be waived or modified hereby. (As used in this Section 7(a), the term “Sub-Adviser” shall include, without limitation, its affiliates and the Sub-Adviser’s and its affiliates’ respective partners, shareholders, directors, members, principals, officers, employees and other agents of the Sub-Adviser).

(b) The Sub-Adviser shall indemnify the Adviser and the BDC, and their respective affiliates and controlling persons, for any liability and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which the Adviser, the BDC or their respective affiliates and controlling persons may sustain as a result of the Sub-Adviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, reckless disregard of its duties hereunder or material violation of applicable U.S. federal securities laws.

(c) The Adviser shall indemnify the Sub-Adviser, its affiliates and its controlling persons, for any liability and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, howsoever arising from, or in connection with, the Sub-Adviser’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the Adviser’s breach of the terms, representations and warranties herein; provided, however, that the Sub-Adviser shall not be indemnified for any liability or expenses that may be sustained as a result of the Sub-Adviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Sub-Adviser’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, or material violation of applicable U.S. federal securities laws.

8. Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to Section 8(b), each of the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser acknowledge and agree that pursuant to this Agreement, either party may have access to the other party’s confidential and proprietary information and materials concerning or pertaining to the other’s business. Each party will receive and hold such information in the strictest confidence, and acknowledge, represent, and warrant that it will use its best efforts to protect the confidentiality of this information. Each party agrees that, without the prior written consent of the other party, they will not use, copy, or divulge to third parties or otherwise use, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any information obtained from or through the other party in connection with this Agreement other than as reasonably necessary in the course of their business; provided that such recipients must agree to protect the confidentiality of such information and use such information only for the purposes of providing services to the BDC; provided, further, however, this covenant shall not apply to information (x) which is in the public domain now or when it becomes in the public domain in the future, other than by reason of a breach of this Agreement, (y) which has come to either party from a lawful source not bound to maintain the confidentiality of such information, other than from the other party or an affiliate or representative of that party, or (z) disclosures which are required by law, regulatory authority, regulation or legal process.

(b) The Adviser agrees that the Sub-Adviser shall have the right to disclose the performance of the BDC to third parties at any time, subject to the prior review and approval of the Adviser.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each party to this Agreement (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all

persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of (i) the BDC and (ii) any of its transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

(d) The representations and warranties made by the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser pursuant to this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9. Duration and Termination of Agreement.

(a) Term and Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date that the BDC meets the minimum offering requirement, as such term is defined in the prospectus contained in the BDC’s registration statement on Form N-2 as declared effective by the SEC (the “Effective Date”). This Agreement shall remain in effect for two years, and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Board, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the BDC and (ii) the vote of a majority of the BDC’s trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of any such party, in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act.

(b) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice, by (i) the Adviser, if the Board or a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the BDC determine that this Agreement should be terminated, or (ii) the Sub-Adviser. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of (1) its “assignment” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 15(a)(4) of the 1940 Act), or (2) the termination of the Advisory Agreement. The provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the Adviser shall remain entitled to the benefits thereof, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT B

Conflicts of Interest

(1) Certain inherent conflicts of interest arise from the fact that GSO Capital Partners LP (the “Investment Manager”), The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) and their affiliates (the “Affiliates”, and collectively, the “Firm”) provide investment management services both to FS Investment Advisor, LLC, on behalf of FS Energy and Power Fund (the “Client”), and other clients, including other investment funds, and any other investment vehicles that the Investment Manager or its respective Affiliates may establish from time to time (the “Other Funds”), as well as client accounts and proprietary accounts managed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates in which the Client will not have an interest (such other clients, funds and accounts, collectively the “Other GSO Accounts”). In addition, Blackstone and its Affiliates provide investment management services to other clients, including other investment funds and any other investment vehicles that Blackstone or any of its Affiliates may establish from time to time (the “Other Blackstone Funds”), client accounts and proprietary accounts in which the Client will not have an interest (such other clients, funds and accounts, collectively the “Other Blackstone Accounts” and together with the Other GSO Accounts, the “Other Accounts”). The respective investment programs of the Client and the Other Accounts may or may not be substantially similar. The Firm may give advice and recommend securities to Other Accounts which may differ from advice given to, or securities recommended or bought for, the Client, even though their investment objectives may be the same or similar to those of the Client;

(2) While the Investment Manager will seek to manage potential conflicts of interest in good faith, the portfolio strategies employed by the Investment Manager and Blackstone in managing their respective Other Accounts could conflict with the transactions and strategies employed by the Investment Manager in managing the Client and may affect the prices and availability of the securities and instruments in which the Client invests. Conversely, participation in specific investment opportunities may be appropriate, at times, for both the Client and Other Accounts;

(3) It is the policy of the Investment Manager to share appropriate investment opportunities (and sale opportunities) with the Other Accounts. In general, this means that such opportunities will be allocated pro rata among the Client and the Other Accounts based on available capacity for such investment in each fund, taking into account available cash and the relative capital of the respective funds, provided, that certain Other Blackstone Funds in existence as of the date hereof and successor funds thereto will receive priority with respect to certain investments, subject to certain conditions as set forth in such fund’s respective partnership agreements. Nevertheless, investment and/or sale opportunities may be allocated other than on a pro rata basis, if the Investment Manager deems in good faith that a different allocation among the Client and the Other Accounts is appropriate, taking into account, among other considerations (a) risk-return profile of the proposed investment; (b) the Client’s or the Other Accounts’ objectives, whether such objectives are considered solely in light of the specific investment under consideration or in the context of the portfolio’s overall holdings; (c) the potential for the proposed investment to create an imbalance in the Client’s and the

Other Accounts’ portfolios; (d) liquidity requirements of the Client and Other Accounts; (e) tax consequences; (f) regulatory restrictions; (g) the need to re-size risk in the Client’s or Other Accounts’ portfolios; (h) redemption/withdrawal requests from the Client and Other Accounts and anticipated future contributions into the Client and Other Accounts; and (i) proximity of an Other Account to the end of its specified term. Orders may be combined for all such accounts, and if any order is not filled at the same price, they may be allocated on an average price basis. Similarly, if an order on behalf of more than one account cannot be fully executed under prevailing market conditions, securities may be allocated among the different accounts on a basis which the Investment Manager or its Affiliates consider equitable;

(4) From time to time, the Client and the Other Accounts may make investments at different levels of a borrower’s or an issuer’s capital structure or otherwise in different classes of a borrower’s or an issuer’s securities, as may be permitted by law. Such investments may inherently give rise to conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest between or among the various classes of securities that may be held by such entities;

(5) The Investment Manager or certain of its Affiliates may come into possession of material non-public information with respect to a borrower or an issuer. Should this occur, the Investment Manager would be restricted from buying or selling securities, derivatives or loans of the borrower or the issuer on behalf of the Client until such time as the information became public or was no longer deemed material to preclude the Client from participating in an investment. Disclosure of such information to the Investment Manager’s personnel responsible for the affairs of the Client will be on a need-to-know basis only, and the Client may not be free to act upon any such information. Therefore, the Client may not have access to material non-public information in the possession of the Firm which might be relevant to an investment decision to be made by the Client, and the Client may initiate a transaction or sell an investment which, if such information had been known to it, may not have been undertaken. Due to these restrictions, the Client may not be able to initiate a transaction that it otherwise might have initiated and may not be able to sell an investment that it otherwise might have sold;

(6) As part of its regular business, Blackstone provides a broad range of investment banking, advisory, and other services. In the regular course of its investment banking and advisory businesses, Blackstone represents potential purchasers, sellers and other involved parties, including corporations, financial buyers, management, shareholders and institutions, with respect to transactions that could give rise to investments that are suitable for the Client. In such a case, Blackstone’s client would typically require Blackstone to act exclusively on its behalf, thereby precluding the Client from participating in such transactions. Blackstone will be under no obligation to decline any such engagements in order to make an investment opportunity available to the Client. In connection with its investment banking, advisory and other businesses, Blackstone may come into possession of information that limits its ability to engage in potential transactions. The Client’s activities may be constrained as a result of the inability of Blackstone personnel to use such information. For example, employees of Blackstone may be prohibited by law or contract from sharing information with members of the Client’s investment team. Additionally, there may be circumstances in which one or more of certain individuals associated with Blackstone will be precluded from

providing services related to the Client’s activities because of certain confidential information available to those individuals or to other parts of Blackstone. In certain seller assignments, the seller may permit the Client to act as a participant in such transaction, which would raise certain conflicts of interest inherent in such a situation (including as to the negotiation of the purchase price);

(7) Blackstone has long-term relationships with a significant number of corporations and their senior management. In determining whether to recommend that the Client invest in a particular transaction, the Investment Manager will consider those relationships, which may result in the Investment Manager turning away certain transactions on behalf of the Client in view of such relationships, as may be permitted by law. The Client may also co-invest with clients of Blackstone in particular investment opportunities, and the relationship with such clients could influence the decisions made by the Investment Manager with respect to such investments, as may be permitted by law;

(8) The Firm may represent creditors or debtors in proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or prior to such filings. From time to time the Firm may serve as advisor to creditor or equity committees. This involvement, for which the Firm may be compensated, may limit or preclude the flexibility that the Client may otherwise have to participate in restructurings or the Investment Manager may recommend that the Client liquidate any existing positions of the applicable issuer;

(9) The Investment Manager and its members, partners, officers and employees will devote as much of their time to the activities of the Client as they deem necessary and appropriate. The Firm is not restricted from forming additional investment funds, from entering into other investment advisory relationships or from engaging in other business activities, even though such activities may be in competition with the Client and/or may involve substantial time and resources of the Investment Manager. These activities could be viewed as creating a conflict of interest in that the time and effort of the members of the Investment Manager and its officers and employees will not be devoted exclusively to the business of the Client but will be allocated between the business of the Client and the management of the monies of other advisees of the Investment Manager;

(10) Situations may arise where certain assets held by one or more funds and investment accounts managed by the Investment Manager may be traded to Other Accounts. Such transactions will be conducted in accordance with, and subject to the Investment Manager’s fiduciary obligations to the Client and as may be permitted by law;

(11) The officers, directors, members, managers, and employees of the Investment Manager may trade in securities for their own accounts, subject to restrictions and reporting requirements as may be required by law and Firm policies, or otherwise determined from time to time by the Investment Manager;

(12) The Firm and its Affiliates may expand the range of services that they provide over time. The Firm and its Affiliates will not be restricted in the scope of their business or in the performance of any such services (whether now offered or undertaken in the future) even if such activities could give rise to conflicts of interest, and whether or not such conflicts are described herein.
