SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Blackstone / GSO Secured Lending Fund

GSO Capital Partners LP

345 Park Avenue

31st Floor

New York, NY 10154

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Subscription.

(a) The signatory hereto (the “Investor”) subscribes for and agrees to purchase common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 (“Shares”) of Blackstone / GSO Secured Lending Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Fund”) with a Capital Commitment (as defined herein) set forth on the signature page below upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that this subscription is irrevocable on the part of the Investor and that the Fund may accept or reject this subscription in whole or in part at any time on or prior to its acceptance and in its sole discretion. If the subscription is rejected in its entirety, this subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) shall have no force or effect. The Investor agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Fund’s confidential private placement memorandum (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Memorandum”), the Fund’s declaration of trust, as amended from time to time (the “Declaration of Trust”), the Fund’s Bylaws, as amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”), the Investment Advisory Agreement with GSO Asset Management LLC, our investment adviser (the “Adviser”), as and when in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Administration Agreement between the Fund and GSO Capital Partners LP, our administrator (the “Administrator”), as and when in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Administration Agreement,” and together with the Memorandum, the Declaration of Trust, the Bylaws and the Advisory Agreement, the “Operative Documents”). Capitalized terms not defined herein are used as defined in the Memorandum. The Fund has entered into or expects to enter into separate subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and, together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with other purchasers (the “Other Investors”), providing for the sale to the Other Investors of Shares. This Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements are separate agreements, and the sales of Shares to the Investor and the Other Investors are separate sales.

(b) The Investor agrees to purchase Shares for an aggregate purchase price equal to the amount set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Capital Commitment”), payable at such times and in such amounts as required by the Fund, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. On each Drawdown Date (as defined below), the Investor agrees to purchase from the Fund, and the Fund agrees to issue to the Investor, a number of Shares equal to the Drawdown Share Amount (as defined below) at an aggregate price equal to the Drawdown Purchase Price (as defined below); provided, however, that in no circumstance will an Investor be required to purchase Shares for an amount in excess of its Unused Capital Commitment (as defined below). Such Capital Commitment shall constitute a binding commitment to purchase Shares no earlier than the Fund’s election to be treated as a business development company pursuant to Section 54(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

Page 1 of 59

BLACKSTONE / GSO SECURED LENDING FUND

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

“Drawdown Share Amount” shall mean, for each Drawdown Date, a number of Shares determined by dividing (i) the Drawdown Purchase Price for that Drawdown Date by (ii) the applicable Per Share Price (as defined below), subject to adjustment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section III – Overview of the Fund – Valuation Procedures in the Memorandum (as those procedures may be changed from time to time), with the resulting quotient adjusted to the nearest whole number to avoid the issuance of fractional shares.

“Per Share NAV” shall mean, for any Drawdown Date or Catch-Up Date (as defined below), net asset value per Share as of the end of the most recent calendar quarter, determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section III – Overview of the Fund – Valuation Procedures in the Memorandum (as those procedures may be changed from time to time) in a manner consistent with the limitations of the Investment Company Act as of the last day of the Fund’s calendar quarter immediately preceding such date.

“Per Share Price” shall mean, for any Drawdown Date or Catch-Up Date (as defined below), the Per Share NAV; provided, that the Per Share Price shall be subject to the limitations of Section 23 under the Investment Company Act (which generally prohibits us from issuing Shares at a price below the then-current net asset value of the Shares as determined within 48 hours, excluding Sundays and holidays, of such issuance, (taking into account any investment valuation adjustments from the latest quarterly valuation date in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policy) subject to certain exceptions); provided, further, however, in the event that the Per Share NAV is less than zero as of the first Drawdown Date that occurs immediately following the Initial Closing Date (as defined below), then solely for the purpose of such Drawdown Date, the Per Share Price for the Initial Drawdown Date shall be deemed to equal $25.00.

“Unused Capital Commitment” shall mean, with respect to an Investor, the amount of such Investor’s Capital Commitment as of any date reduced by the aggregate amount of contributions made by that Investor at all previous Drawdown Dates and any Catch-Up Date pursuant to Section 1(b) and Section 2(c), respectively.

2. Closings.

(a) The closing of each Subscription Agreement will take place on such date as determined by the Fund at the offices of the Adviser, 345 Park Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, New York, 10154 (each closing of a Subscription Agreement, a “Closing Date,” and the date upon which the first closing of a Subscription Agreement occurs being referred to herein as the “Initial Closing Date”). Closings of Subscription Agreements will occur, from time to time in the Adviser’s sole discretion, during a period starting with the Initial Closing Date and ending twelve months thereafter (the “Initial Closing Period”), but the Adviser may modify the Initial Closing Period if approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). After the Initial Closing Period and prior to the end of the Initial Drawdown Period (as defined below), the Fund may permit one or more additional closings (“Subsequent Closings”) as additional capital commitments are obtained. The Fund currently does not expect to draw any Capital Commitments from Subsequent Closings (“Subsequent Capital Commitments”) until 100% of the Capital Commitments from the Initial Closing Period (“Initial Capital Commitments”) have been drawn down, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

BLACKSTONE / GSO SECURED LENDING FUND

(b) The Investor agrees to provide any information reasonably requested by the Fund to verify the accuracy of the representations contained herein, including, without limitation, the Investor Questionnaire. Promptly after the Closing Date, the Fund will deliver to the Investor or its nominee, if the Investor’s subscription has been accepted, confirmation of the Fund’s acceptance of the Investor’s subscription.

(c) (i) The Fund may enter into Other Subscription Agreements with Other Investors during the Initial Closing Period but after the Initial Drawdown Date (such closings, “Additional Closings”) and any Other Investor whose subscription has been accepted at such Additional Closing referred to as an “Additional Investor.” Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1(b) and 3, on one or more dates to be determined by the Fund that occur on or following an Additional Closing Date but no later than the next succeeding Drawdown Date (each, a “Catch-Up Date”), each Additional Investor shall be required to purchase, on no less than ten (10) Business Days prior notice, from the Fund a number of Shares with an aggregate purchase price necessary to ensure that, upon payment of the aggregate purchase price for such Shares by the Additional Investor in the aggregate for all Catch-Up Dates, such Additional Investor’s Net Contributed Capital Percentage (as defined below) shall be equal to the Net Contributed Capital Percentage of all prior Investors (other than any Defaulting Investors, Excluded Investors or any Other Investor who has subscribed on prior Additional Closing Dates and have not yet funded the Catch-Up Purchase Price) (the “Catch-Up Purchase Price”). Upon payment of the Catch-Up Purchase Price by the Investor on a Catch-Up Date and payment by Other Investors of the requisite amount, the Fund shall issue to each such Additional Investor a number of Shares determined by dividing (A) the Catch-Up Purchase Price for such Additional Investor minus the Organizational Expense Allocation (as defined below) by (B) the Per Share Price for such Additional Investor as of a Catch-Up Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Catch-Up Date and a Drawdown Date occur on the same calendar day, such Catch-Up Date (and the application of the provisions of this Section 2(c)) shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the relevant Drawdown Date.

(ii) For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement:

(A) “Business Day” means any day, other than Saturday, Sunday or a U.S. federal holiday, and shall consist of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight Eastern time.

(B) “Net Contributed Capital Percentage” means, with respect to an Investor holding Initial Capital Commitments, the percentage determined by dividing such Investor’s Net Contributed Capital (as defined below) by such Investor’s total Initial Capital Commitments (whether or not funded).

(C) “Net Contributed Capital” means, with respect to an Investor holding Initial Capital Commitments, the aggregate amount of capital contributions from such Investor’s Initial Capital Commitments that have been funded by such Investor to purchase Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, Net Contributed Capital will not take into account distributions of the Fund’s investment income (i.e., proceeds received in respect of interest payments, dividends or fees, net of expenses) to the investors or the reinvestment of distributions in Shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.

BLACKSTONE / GSO SECURED LENDING FUND

(D) “Organizational Expense Allocation” means, with respect to an Investor, the product obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Investor’s Capital Commitment and the denominator of which is the total Capital Commitments received by the Fund through such date by (ii) the total amount of organizational expenses spent by the Fund in connection with the Fund’s formation.

(d) At each Drawdown Date following any Additional Closing Date, all Investors, including Additional Investors, shall purchase Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the definitions of Drawdown Share Amount and Per Share Price and the provisions of Section 3(b), nothing in this Subscription Agreement shall prohibit the Fund from issuing Shares to Additional Investors at a Per Share Price greater than the Per Share NAV at the time of issuance.

(e) In the event that any Investor is permitted by the Fund to make an additional capital commitment to purchase Shares on a date after its initial subscription has been accepted, such Investor will be required to enter into a separate Subscription Agreement with the Fund.

3. Drawdowns.

(a) Subject to Section 3(f), purchases of Shares will take place on dates selected by the Fund in its sole discretion (each, a “Drawdown Date”) and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b). For purposes of this Section 3, a Drawdown Date includes a Catch-Up Date.

(b) The Fund shall deliver to the Investor, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to each Drawdown Date, a notice (a “Drawdown Notice”) setting forth (i) the Drawdown Date, (ii) the aggregate number of Shares to be sold to all Investors on the Drawdown Date and the aggregate purchase price for such Shares, (iii) the applicable Drawdown Share Amount, Drawdown Purchase Price and Per Share Price and (iv) the account to which the Drawdown Purchase Price should be wired.

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

(d) On each Drawdown Date, the Investor shall pay the Drawdown Purchase Price to the Fund by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account specified in the Drawdown Notice. For purposes of this Section 3, a Drawdown Purchase Price includes a Catch-Up Purchase Price.

(e) DST Systems will act as transfer agent and registrar for the Shares (the “Transfer Agent”), unless and until, either the Fund or the Transfer Agent decides to terminate the agreement between such parties.

(f) The “Initial Drawdown Period” will begin when Initial Capital Commitments are made and continue until the earlier of (i) an Exchange Listing and (ii) the two year anniversary of the end of the Initial Closing Period. During the Initial Drawdown Period and any drawdown period applicable to Subsequent Capital Commitments, the Adviser may issue Drawdown Notices for any permitted Fund purpose and Investors will remain obligated to fund the applicable Drawdown Purchase Price. Subject to the share repurchase program described herein, the Fund generally does not intend to return any drawn Capital Commitments. An “Exchange Listing” is a quotation or listing of the Fund’s securities on a national securities

BLACKSTONE / GSO SECURED LENDING FUND

exchange (including through an initial public offering) or a sale of all or substantially all of the Fund’s assets to, or a merger or other liquidity transaction with, an entity in which the Fund’s Shareholders receive shares of a publicly traded company which continues to be managed by the Adviser or an affiliate thereof.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the Fund shall have the right (a “Limited Exclusion Right”) to exclude any Investor (such Investor, an “Excluded Investor”) from purchasing Shares from the Fund on any Drawdown Date if, in the reasonable discretion of the Fund, there is a substantial likelihood that such Investor’s purchase of Shares at such time would (i) result in a violation of, or noncompliance with, any law or regulation to which such Investor, the Fund, the Adviser, any Other Investor or a portfolio company would be subject or (ii) cause the investments of “benefit plan investors” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and the regulations thereunder) to be significant and the assets of the Fund to be considered “plan assets” for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In the event that any Limited Exclusion Rights is exercised, the Fund shall be authorized to issue an additional Drawdown Notice to the non-Excluded Investors to make up any applicable shortfall caused by such Limited Exclusion Right.

(h) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the Fund will have the power to take certain actions to avoid having (i) the assets of the Fund characterized as “plan assets,” for purposes of the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Laws (as defined below) including, without limitation, the right to cause an Investor that is a “benefit plan investor” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA) to withdraw from the Fund in whole or in part and (ii) the Fund and the Adviser being considered a fiduciary of any Investor for purposes of Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable Similar Law. While the Fund does not expect that it will need to exercise such power, the Fund cannot give any assurance that such power will not be exercised.

4. Pledging. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor specifically agrees and consents that the Fund may, at any time, and without further notice to or consent from the Investor, grant security over and, in connection therewith, Transfer (as defined in Section 7(h)) some or all of the Unused Capital Commitments of the Investor, including the Fund’s right to deliver Drawdown Notices or otherwise draw down capital from the Investor pursuant to Section 3 and receive the Drawdown Purchase Price (and any related rights and remedies of the Fund related thereto), to lenders or other creditors or holders of other obligations or guarantees of the Fund, in connection with any indebtedness, guarantee or surety of the Fund (such right of the Fund with respect to the Investor and Other Investors, collectively, the “Assigned Rights”); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such grantee’s right to draw down capital shall be subject to the limitations on the Fund’s right to draw down capital pursuant to Section 3; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Fund may exclude from such Assigned Rights all or a portion of the Assigned Rights of any Investors to the extent restricted under, or considered by the Board to be necessary or desirable to facilitate compliance with, applicable laws or regulations, including the ERISA, the Investment Company Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended. In connection with any such secured financing (a “Subscription Facility”), the Investor specifically agrees, for the benefit of the Fund and such lenders, to the following:

Page 5 of 59

BLACKSTONE / GSO SECURED LENDING FUND

(a) The Fund may incur indebtedness for Fund purposes pursuant to a Subscription Facility and secure such facility by (i) the Unused Capital Commitments, (ii) the Fund’s rights to issue Drawdown Notices, (iii) the Fund’s right to exercise remedies against the Investors and the Other Investors for failure to pay for such Shares as required by the Drawdown Notices, (iv) the bank account into which the payments for such Shares will be wired on the applicable Drawdown Dates and/or Catch-Up Dates, and (v) any related collateral and proceeds thereof, (b) the Investor acknowledges and agrees that the lender (or agent for the lenders) under a Subscription Facility is relying on each Investor’s Unused Capital Commitment as its primary source of repayment and may issue future Drawdown Notices and may exercise all remedies of the Fund with respect thereto as part of such lenders’ remedies under the Subscription Facility, (c) in the event of a failure by any Investor to pay for such Shares, the Fund and such lender is entitled to pursue any and all remedies available to it under this Subscription Agreement, including issuing additional Drawdown Notices to non-Defaulting Investors in order to make up any deficiency caused by the default of the Investor, whose ownership in the Fund would be diluted as a result, (d) the Investor agrees that its obligation to fund Drawdown Notices pursuant to Section 3 is irrevocable, and shall be without setoff, counterclaim or defense of any kind, including any defense pursuant to Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided that (x) any such agreement to make capital contributions without defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind shall not be effective with respect to any Shareholder that is a Plan (defined below) subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code unless such agreement shall not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406 of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, (y) in no event shall the Shareholders be obligated to make capital contributions in excess of their respective Unused Capital Commitments and (z) such pledge (or equivalent grant of security interest) and/or acknowledgement and agreement to make capital contributions shall not result in the loss of a Shareholder’s limited liability status under this Subscription Agreement and the Declaration of Trust or act as a waiver by such Shareholder of its right to assert independently any claim that it may have against the Fund under this Subscription Agreement, except that in connection with the foregoing the Fund shall have right to agree to subordinate distributions to the Shareholders hereunder to payments required in connection with any indebtedness contemplated hereunder, (e) the Investor has received full and adequate consideration on the date hereof for its Shares notwithstanding that they are to be paid and issued in subsequent installments, and any defense of non-consideration or similar defenses for its subscription are hereby waived by the Investor, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings or otherwise, including any failure or inability of the Fund to issue Shares or for any such Shares to have positive value on the date of a Drawdown Notice, (f) the Fund may use the proceeds of any Share issuance for repaying outstanding loans under the Subscription Facility, (g) the Investor agrees that the Fund may reveal the Investor’s identity on a confidential basis to the lenders under a Subscription Facility, (h) upon the reasonable request of the Fund, the Investor will provide the Fund with copies of its financial statements to the extent such financial statements are not otherwise publically available and information about the Investor’s Beneficial Owners (as defined below) to enable the Fund to comply with underwriting requests from any lender under a Subscription Facility, (i) any payment of a claim that the Investor may have against the Fund or another Investor in the Fund shall be subordinate to the payment of any claim a lender under the Subscription Facility may have against the Fund or such Investor, (j) from time to time upon request, the Investor will provide for the benefit of any lender under a Subscription Facility a certificate setting forth such Investor’s then Unused Capital Commitment, (k) it acknowledges and confirms that the terms of the applicable Subscription Facility and each agreement executed in connection therewith can be modified (including, without limitation, increases, decreases or renewals of credit extended, or the release of any guarantee or security) without further notice to such Investor and without its consent; provided, however, that in no event shall any such modification of any such document alter an Investor’s rights or obligations hereunder without such Investor’s written consent, (l) each Investor acknowledges that the making and performance of its obligations hereunder constitute private and commercial acts rather than governmental or public acts, and that neither it nor any of its properties or revenues has any right of immunity from suit, court jurisdiction, execution of a judgment or from any other legal process with respect to its obligations hereunder, and to the extent that it may hereafter be entitled to claim any such

Page 6 of 59

BLACKSTONE / GSO SECURED LENDING FUND

immunity, or to the extent that there may be attributed to it such an immunity (whether or not claimed), unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Fund, it hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity, (m) upon the withdrawal or transfer of the Investor’s interest in the Fund in accordance with the terms hereof, such Investor acknowledges that it may be required prior to the effectiveness of such withdrawal or transfer to fund a Drawdown Notice to repay amounts outstanding under the Subscription Facility equal to its share thereof; provided that such Investor shall not be required to fund a Drawdown Notice in excess of its Unused Capital Commitment, and (n) that the lenders under a Subscription Facility are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement who may rely on the Investor’s agreements in this Section 4 in providing a Subscription Facility to the Fund.

5. Distributions; Dividend Reinvestment Program. As described more fully in the Memorandum, the Fund 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 Fund’s Board in its discretion. The Fund will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of Investors who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash, crediting to each such Investor a number of Shares equal to the quotient determined by dividing the cash value of the dividend payable to such Investor by the Per Share NAV as of the date such dividend was declared. The Investor may elect to receive any or all such dividends in cash by notifying the Adviser in writing no later than 10 days prior to the record date for the first dividend that the Investor wishes to receive in cash. The Investor and the Fund agree and acknowledge that any dividends received by the Investor or reinvested by the Fund on the Investor’s behalf shall have no effect on the amount of the Investor’s Unused Capital Commitment.

6. Remedies Upon Investor Capital Drawdown Default. In the event that an Investor fails to pay all or any portion of the purchase price due from such Investor on any Catch-Up Date or Drawdown Date and such default remains uncured for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the written notice of such failure is given by the Fund to the Investor, the Fund shall be permitted to declare such Investor to be in default of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (any such Investor, a “Defaulting Investor”) and shall be permitted to pursue one or any combination of the following remedies:

(a) The Fund may prohibit the Defaulting Investor from purchasing additional Shares on any future Drawdown Date or otherwise participating in any future investments in the Fund;

(b) Fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then held by the Defaulting Investor shall be automatically transferred on the books of the Fund, without any further action being required on the part of the Fund or the Defaulting Investor, to the Other Investors (other than any defaulting Other Investor), pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Commitments; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, no Shares shall be transferred to any Other Investor pursuant to this Section 6(b) in the event that such transfer would (A) violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Investment Company Act or any state (or other jurisdiction) securities or “Blue Sky” laws applicable to the Fund or such transfer would, (B) constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (C) cause all or any portion of the assets of the Fund to constitute “plan assets” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (it being understood that this proviso shall operate only to extent necessary to avoid the occurrence of the consequences contemplated herein and shall not prevent the Investor from receiving a partial allocation of its pro rata portion of Shares); provided, further, that any Shares that have not been transferred to one or more Other Investors pursuant to the previous proviso shall be allocated among the participating Other Investors pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Commitments. The mechanism described in this Section 6(b) is intended to

Page 7 of 59

BLACKSTONE / GSO SECURED LENDING FUND

operate as a liquidated damage provision, since the damage to the Fund and Other Investors resulting from a default by the Defaulting Investor is both significant and not easily quantified. By entry into this Subscription Agreement, the Investor agrees to this transfer and acknowledges that it constitutes a reasonable liquidated damage remedy for any default in the Investor’s obligation of the type described; and

(c) The Fund may pursue any other remedies against the Defaulting Investor available to the Fund, subject to applicable law.

(a) The Investor has been furnished with and has carefully read the Memorandum, this Subscription Agreement, and each Operative Document, in each case as amended, restated and/or supplemented through the Closing Date of the Investor’s subscription for Shares. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, is able to bear the risks of an investment in the Shares and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of a Share, including the matters set forth under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Potential Conflicts of Interest” in the Memorandum.

The Investor is not relying on the Fund, the Adviser, any placement agent of the Fund (a “Placement Agent”) or any other person or entity with respect to the legal, tax and other economic considerations involved in this investment other than the Investor’s own advisers. The Investor’s investment in the Shares is consistent with the investment purposes, objectives and cash flow requirements of the Investor and will not adversely affect the Investor’s overall need for diversification and liquidity.

If the Investor is unable or refuses to provide such information directly to the Fund, the Investor understands that it will be required to include additional information on its income tax return as provided in Treasury Regulations § 1.852-7. The Fund intends to file a registration statement on Form 10 (the “Form 10 Registration Statement”) for its common shares of beneficial interest with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Form 10 Registration Statement is not the offering document pursuant to which the Fund is conducting this offering and may not include all information regarding the Fund contained in the

The Investor has consulted, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Investor, with the Investor’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal, accounting, regulatory and related matters concerning an investment in the Shares and on that basis understands the financial, tax, legal, accounting, regulatory and related consequences of an investment in the Shares and believes that an investment in the Shares is suitable and appropriate for the Investor.

(h) The Investor understands that the Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

No Transfer will require the Fund to register the Shares under the Securities Act, under any U.S. state securities laws or under the laws of any other jurisdiction.

The Investor understands that the Fund has no intention to register the Shares under the Securities Act or any state and is under no obligation to assist the Investor in obtaining or complying with any exemption from registration. The Investor understands that the Fund may require that a proposed transferee meet appropriate financial and other suitability standards and that the Investor furnish a legal opinion satisfactory to the Fund and its counsel that the proposed transfer complies with any applicable federal, state and any other securities laws. The Investor understands that an appropriate legend evidencing such restrictions may be placed on any certificates issued representing the Shares and appropriate stop transfer instructions may be placed with respect to the Shares.

(a) This Subscription Agreement is not assignable by the Investor without the prior written consent of the Fund. The representations and warranties made by the Investor in this Subscription Agreement (including the Investor Data Sheet and Investor Questionnaire attached hereto) shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and any investigation made by the Fund.

This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one instrument, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the courts of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in any inconvenient forum. The Fund may, in its sole discretion, (x) agree to arbitration with respect to any dispute arising between an Investor on the one hand and the Adviser, the Fund and/or their respective affiliates on the other hand where the Investor or its affiliates has so agreed and (y) agree with any Investor that the provisions of this Section 13 shall not apply, in whole or in part as the Fund may determine, to such Investor.

Prior to making any disclosure required by law, the Investor shall use its best efforts to notify the Fund of such disclosure. Prior to any disclosure to any authorized representative or Beneficial Owner, the Investor shall advise such persons of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein and each such person shall agree to be bound by such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of an investment in the Fund and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided in connection with this Subscription Agreement to the Investor relating to such tax treatment or tax structure.

(b) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Fund shall be entitled to retain any information about an Investor it receives in such manner as it shall, in its sole discretion, consider appropriate.

In order for the Fund to determine whether it is eligible to participate in profits and losses from such new issues, the Investor⁸ represents and warrants with respect to itself, or, if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity or account, with respect to any person having a beneficial interest⁹ in the Fund through such corporation, partnership trust or other entity or account (an “Owner”), as follows:

⁸  If the Investor is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other entity or a nominee for another person, the person completing this questionnaire must be the Investor’s beneficial owner(s), a person authorized to represent such beneficial owner (s), or a bank, foreign bank, broker-dealer, investment adviser or other conduit acting on behalf of the beneficial owners of the Investor.

In compliance with U.S. law, GSO Capital Partners LP is required to conduct certain “Know Your Customer” reviews prior to accepting an investor commitment. In order to expedite our review, please provide the documentation requested below either in advance of or together with your subscription document. If you have previously invested in a GSO-sponsored fund using the same “investor,” we may be able to utilize documents you have previously provided. However, if a particular document, such as a license or passport copy, has expired, you may be asked to provide a valid copy of the new document.

Kindly note that we will make our best effort to limit follow-up requests, but GSO may need to contact you for additional documentation. If you do not have a particular document or are concerned it may not be applicable, please submit the subscription document with the information that you have and we would be happy to review it and revert to you.
