USBFS shall also be reimbursed for such miscellaneous expenses as set forth on Exhibit A hereto as are reasonably incurred by USBFS in performing its duties hereunder. The Fund shall pay all such fees and reimbursable expenses within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the billing notice, except for any fee or expense subject to a good faith dispute. The Administrator and/or the Fund shall notify USBFS in writing within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of each invoice if the Administrator and/or the Fund is disputing any amounts in good faith. The Fund shall pay such disputed amounts within thirty (30) calendar days of the day on which the parties agree to the amount to be paid.

USBFS shall indemnify and hold the Administrator and the Fund harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Administrator or the Fund may sustain or incur or that may be asserted against the Administrator or the Fund by any person arising out of or related to any action taken or omitted to be taken by USBFS as a result of USBFS’ refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, or from its bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of USBFS, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement. As used in this paragraph, the terms the “Administrator” and the “Fund” shall include each entity’s directors, affiliates, officers and employees.

Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for consequential, special or punitive damages under any provision of this Agreement.

In the event of a mechanical breakdown or failure of communication or power supplies beyond its control, USBFS shall take all reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions for any period that such interruption continues. USBFS shall as promptly as possible under the circumstances notify the Administrator in the event of any service interruption that materially impacts USBFS’s services under this Agreement. USBFS will make every reasonable effort to restore any lost or damaged data and correct any errors resulting from such a breakdown at the expense of USBFS as soon as practicable. USBFS agrees that it shall, at all times, have reasonable business continuity and disaster recovery contingency plans with appropriate parties, making reasonable provision for emergency use of electrical data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available. Representatives of the Administrator shall be entitled to inspect USBFS’ premises and operating capabilities, books and records maintained on behalf of the Fund at any time during regular business hours of USBFS, upon reasonable notice to USBFS. Moreover, USBFS shall obtain and provide the Administrator, at such times as they may reasonably require, copies of reports rendered by independent accountants on the internal controls and procedures of USBFS relating to the services provided by USBFS under this Agreement.

USBFS reserves the right to reprocess and correct administrative errors (and shall do so in any case promptly upon request of the Administrator or Fund). Any reprocessing of administrative errors shall be at its own expense.

USBFS shall promptly notify the Administrator upon discovery of any material administrative error (or group, pattern or practice of errors that, when taken together could constitute a material administrative error), and shall consult with the Administrator about the actions it intends to take to correct the error prior to taking such actions. A “material administrative error” means any error which the Administrator or the Fund’s management, including its Chief Compliance Officer, would reasonably need to know.

USBFS agrees on behalf of itself and its directors, officers, and employees to treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Administrator and the Fund all records and other information relative to the Administrator and the Fund and prior, present, or potential shareholders of the Fund (and clients of said shareholders) including all shareholder trading information, and not to use such records and information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, except after prior notification to and approval in writing by the Administrator, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where USBFS may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply, when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities, provided that to the extent permitted by law, USBFS shall provide the Administrator prior notice to such disclosure or when so requested by the Administrator. USBFS acknowledges that it may come into possession of material nonpublic information with respect to the Adminstrator or the Fund and confirms that it has in place effective procedures to prevent the use of such information in violation of applicable insider trading laws.

Further, USBFS will adhere to the privacy policies adopted by the Fund pursuant to Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, as may be modified from time to time (the “Act”). In this regard, USBFS shall have in place and maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards reasonably designed to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of, and to prevent unauthorized access to or use of, records and information relating to the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, USBFS has implemented and will maintain an effective information security program reasonably designed to protect information relating to Shareholders (such information, “Personal Information”), which program includes sufficient administrative, technical and physical safeguards and written policies and procedures reasonably designed to (a) insure the security and confidentiality of such Personal Information; (b) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such Personal Information, including identity theft; and (c) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such Personal Information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the Fund or any Shareholder (the “Information Security Program”). The Information Security Program complies and shall comply with reasonable information security practices within the industry. Upon written request from the Administrator, USBFS shall provide a written description of its Information Security Program. USBFS shall promptly notify the Administrator in writing of any breach of security, misuse or misappropriation of, or unauthorized access to, (in each case, whether actual or alleged) any information of the Fund (any or all of the foregoing referred to individually and collectively for purposes of this provision as a “Security Breach”). USBFS shall promptly investigate and remedy, and bear the cost of the measures (including notification to any affected parties), if any, to address any Security Breach. USBFS shall bear the cost of the Security Breach only if USBFS is determined to be responsible for such Security Breach. In addition to, and without limiting the foregoing, USBFS shall promptly cooperate with the Administrator, the Fund and any of their affiliates as well as each of their respective regulators (at USBFS’s expense if USBFS is determined to be responsible for such Security Breach) to prevent, investigate, cease or mitigate any Security Breach, including but not limited to investigating, bringing claims or actions and giving information and testimony. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the obligations set forth in this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.

USBFS will provide the Administrator with certain copies of third party audit reports (e.g., SSAE 16 or SOC 1) through access to USBFS’s CCO Portal (limited to two persons) to the extent such reports are available and related to services performed or made available by USBFS under this Agreement. The Administrator acknowledges and agrees that such reports are confidential and that it will not disclose such reports except to its employees advisors, representatives and service providers who have a need to know and subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, USBFS will not share any nonpublic personal information concerning any of the Fund’s shareholders to any third party unless specifically directed by the Administrator or allowed under one of the exceptions noted under the Act.

This Agreement shall become effective as of the date on which the HPS Corporate Lending Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2 is declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective Date”) and will continue in effect for a period of three (3) years. However, this Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the other party or such shorter period as is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by any party upon the breach of the other party of any material term of this Agreement if such breach is not cured within fifteen (15) days of notice of such breach to the breaching party. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by written agreement executed by the parties.

USBFS shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder in the form and manner, and for such period, as it may deem advisable and is agreeable to the Administrator, but not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of appropriate government authorities, in particular, Section 31 of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. USBFS agrees that all such records prepared or maintained by USBFS relating to the services to be performed by USBFS hereunder are the property of the Administrator and/or the Fund, as applicable, and will be preserved, maintained, and made available in accordance with such applicable sections and rules of the 1940 Act and will be promptly surrendered to the Administrator and/or the Fund on and in accordance with its request. USBFS agrees to provide any records necessary to the Fund to comply with the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting adopted in accordance with the SOX Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, USBFS shall cooperate with the Administrator and assist the Fund, as necessary, by providing information to enable the appropriate officers of the Fund to (i) execute any required certifications and (ii) provide a report of management on the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Sections 13a-15(f) or 15a-15(f) of the 1934 Act). Notwithstanding the foregoing, USBFS may retain such copies of such records in such form as may be required to comply with any applicable law, rule, regulation, or order of any governmental, regulatory, or judicial authority of competent jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles. To the extent that the applicable laws of the State of New York, or any of the provisions herein, conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the latter shall control, and nothing herein shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the 1940 Act or any rule or order of the SEC thereunder.

In the event that, in connection with termination, a successor to any of USBFS’ duties or responsibilities hereunder is designated by the Administrator by written notice to USBFS, USBFS will promptly, upon such termination, except in the case of a material breach by USBFS, in which case all expenses should be borne by USBFS, and at the expense of the Fund, transfer to such successor all relevant books, records, correspondence, and other data established or maintained by USBFS under this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrator (if such form differs from the form in which USBFS has maintained the same, the Fund shall pay any reasonable and documented expenses associated with transferring the data to such form), and will cooperate in the transfer of such duties and responsibilities, including provision for assistance from USBFS’ personnel in the establishment of books, records, and other data by such successor. If no such successor is designated, then such books, records and other data shall be returned to the Administrator. The Fund or Administrator shall be entitled to request, and USBFS shall furnish in response to such request, the services contemplated herein for six (6) months following the termination of the agreement at the rates provided herein in order to allow for a smooth transition, except if the agreement is terminated by USBFS upon the breach of the Administrator of any material term of this Agreement.

USBFS shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized herein, have no authority to act for or represent the Administrator or the Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Administrator or the Fund, or conduct business in the name, or for the account, of the Administrator or the Fund.

The Administrator or its agents shall furnish to USBFS the data necessary to perform the services described herein at such times and in such form as mutually agreed upon. If USBFS is also acting in another capacity for the Administrator or the Fund, nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve USBFS of any of its obligations in such capacity.

This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party.

The Administrator has and retains primary responsibility for all compliance matters relating to the Fund, including but not limited to compliance with the 1940 Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the SOX Act, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism of 2001 and the policies and limitations of the Fund related to its portfolio investments as set forth in its registration statement. USBFS’ services hereunder shall not relieve the Administrator of its responsibilities for assuring such compliance or the Board of Directors’ oversight responsibility with respect thereto.

The foregoing shall not affect USBFS’ responsibilities for compliance and related matters delegated to USBFS as expressly provided herein. USBFS shall comply with changes to all regulatory requirements affecting its services hereunder and if practible possible and commercial reasonable, shall implement any necessary modifications to the services prior to the deadline imposed, or extensions authorized by, the regulatory or other governmental body having jurisdiction for such regulatory requirements.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to appoint USBFS and its officers, directors and employees as the Administrator’s or the Fund’ attorneys, form attorney-client relationships or require the provision of legal advice. The Administrator acknowledges that in-house USBFS attorneys exclusively represent USBFS and rely on outside counsel retained by the Administrator or the Fund to review all services provided by in-house USBFS attorneys and to provide independent judgment on the Administrator’s or the Fund’s behalf. Because no attorney-client relationship exists between in-house USBFS attorneys and the Administrator or the Fund, any information provided to USBFS attorneys may not be privileged and may be subject to compulsory disclosure under certain circumstances. USBFS represents that it will maintain the confidentiality of information disclosed to its in-house attorneys on a best efforts basis.  

Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given on the date delivered personally or by courier service, or three days after sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or on the date sent and confirmed received by facsimile transmission to the other party’s address set forth below:
