Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of June 23, 2022 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined) among HPS Corporate Lending Fund (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for said Lenders. You have advised us that the Borrower has requested in a letter dated July 12, 2023 (the “Increase Request”) from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

A. Commitment Increase. Pursuant to Section 2.08(e) of the Credit Agreement, each of Bank of America, N.A., BNP Paribas and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (each, an “Increasing Lender”), hereby agrees to make additional Commitments in the amount set forth opposite the name of such Increasing Lender, as applicable listed in Schedule I hereto pursuant to the instruction of the Administrative Agent, such additional Commitments to be effective as of the Increase Date (as defined in the Increase Request); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed officer’s certificate from the Borrower, dated the Increase Date, in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto.

B. Confirmation of Increasing Lenders. Each Increasing Lender agrees that from and after the Increase Date, its additional Commitment, set forth in Schedule I hereto shall be included in its Commitment and be governed for all purposes by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

C. Counterparts. This Commitment Increase Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
