1. Organization
Hamilton Lane Incorporated (“HLI”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 31, 2007 and, following its 2017 initial public offering, is a holding company whose principal asset is a controlling equity interest in Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. (“HLA”). As the sole managing member of HLA, HLI operates and controls all of the business and affairs of HLA, and, through HLA, conducts its business. As a result, HLI consolidates HLA’s financial results and reports a non-controlling interest (“NCI”) related to the portion of HLA units not owned by HLI. The assets and liabilities of HLA represent substantially all of HLI’s consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of certain cash, certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, payables to related parties pursuant to a tax receivable agreement, and dividends payable. Unless otherwise specified, “the Company” refers to the consolidated entity of HLI, HLA and subsidiaries throughout the remainder of these notes. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, HLI held approximately 77.0% and 77.3%, respectively, of the economic interest in HLA. As future exchanges of HLA units occur pursuant to the exchange agreement, the economic interest in HLA held by HLI will increase.
HLA is a registered investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), providing asset management and advisory services to design, build and manage private markets portfolios. HLA generates revenues primarily from management and advisory fees, comprised of specialized fund and customized separate account management fees, advisory and reporting fees and distribution management fees and, to a lesser extent, incentive fees, comprised of carried interest earned from specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts structured as single-client funds in which the Company has a general partner commitment, and performance fees earned on certain other specialized funds and customized separate accounts. HLA sponsors the formation, and serves as the general partner, managing member and/or investment manager, of various specialized funds and certain single client separate account entities (“Funds”) that acquire interests in third-party managed investment funds that make private markets and related investments or otherwise invest directly in such investments. The Company, which includes certain subsidiaries that serve as the general partner or managing member of the Funds, may invest its own capital in the Funds and generally makes all investment and/or operating decisions for the Funds. HLA operates several wholly owned entities through which it conducts its foreign operations.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information including the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and entities that the Company controls, for which all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (which consisted of only normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2027. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in HLI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

Consolidation
The Company consolidates general partnerships and subsidiaries that are wholly owned. Additionally, the Company consolidates Funds (“Consolidated Funds”) and general partner entities that are not wholly-owned (“Partnerships”) over which it exercises control either by holding majority voting interests or as the primary beneficiary, possessing both decision making authority and the right to receive economic benefits. The Consolidated Funds and Partnerships are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The portion of the Consolidated Funds and Partnerships owned by third parties is presented as non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and income attributable to non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The assets of the Partnerships represent investments in Funds and the assets of the Consolidated Funds generally represent cash and investments. The assets may only be used to settle obligations of the respective Consolidated Fund or Partnership, if any. In addition, there is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated liabilities, except for certain entities in which there could be a clawback of previously distributed carried interest. Once the Company no longer qualifies as the primary beneficiary or holds a majority voting interest, it deconsolidates all the assets and liabilities of the respective Partnership or Consolidated Fund from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and records any remaining interest in the entity using the equity method within investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
At each reporting date, the Company determines whether any reconsideration events have occurred that require it to revisit the consolidation analysis and will consolidate or deconsolidate accordingly.
See Note 6 for additional disclosures on variable interest entities (“VIE”).
Accounting for Differing Fiscal Periods
The Funds primarily have a fiscal year end as of December 31, and the Company accounts for its investments in the Funds using a three-month lag due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the Funds. The Funds primarily invest in private equity funds, which generally require at least 90 days following the calendar year end to present audited financial statements.
The results of the Consolidated Funds are reported on a three-month lag, due to the timing of the receipt of related financial statements.
The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the Funds in investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the three-month lag period.
The Company’s revenue earned from Funds, including both management and advisory fee revenue and incentive fee revenue, is not accounted for on a lag.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Values are determined using quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market.
Level 2: Values are determined using quoted prices for similar financial instruments and valuation models whose inputs are observable.
Level 3: Values are determined using pricing models that use significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company uses these levels of hierarchy to measure the fair value of certain financial instruments on a recurring basis, such as for investments; on a non-recurring basis, such as for acquisitions and impairment testing; for disclosure purposes, such as for long-term debt; and for other applications, as discussed in their respective notes.
Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For a portion of the Company’s investments, net asset value per share (“NAV”) (or its equivalent) is utilized to measure fair value. These investments are considered investment companies, or are the equivalent of investment companies, as they carry all investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Investments valued using NAV are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. See Note 5 for further information.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, fees receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Segments
Financial information, annual operational plans and forecasts are reviewed by the chief operating decision makers (CODM) at the consolidated entity level. Consolidated net income is the primary measure of performance used by the CODM to establish objectives and allocate resources, with compensation and benefits being reviewed in more detail as a significant expense. Segment profit and loss is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, with additional detail provided in Note 10 relating to the significant expenses reviewed by the CODM. The measure of segment assets is not regularly presented to the CODM.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06 - Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this ASU incorporate 14 of the 27 disclosure requirements published in SEC Release No. 33-10532 - Disclosure Update and Simplification into various topics within the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments represent clarifications to, or technical corrections of, current requirements. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. Early adoption is prohibited. The amendments will be applied prospectively to the condensed consolidated financial statements. If the SEC does not remove the applicable disclosure requirements by June 30, 2027, the related amendments will not become effective. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements.

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which modernizes accounting guidance for internal-use software costs. The updated standard reflects current development practices, including agile methodologies, by removing references to “development stages” and clarifying that capitalization begins when management authorizes and commits to funding for a software project, and it is probable the project will be completed and perform its intended function as intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements, which requires entities that present interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP to follow clarified guidance on the form, content, and required disclosures of those interim financial statements, including disclosure of events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, or stockholders’ equity.
On the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Stockholders’ Equity, the Company reclassified “Non-controlling interests in Partnerships” and “Non-controlling interests in Consolidated Funds” into a single line titled “Non-controlling interests in Consolidated Funds and Partnerships”.

In connection with the launch of a newly created evergreen fund, the Company established an investor incentive program under which certain investors who subscribed during the Fund’s initial offering period are eligible to receive additional Fund shares. During the initial offering period, the Company purchased Fund shares that may be distributed under the program and continues to hold such shares as part of its investment in the Fund. Eligible investors may receive additional shares in three annual installments following the close of the initial offering period, subject to continued satisfaction of specified retention requirements. Any shares forfeited by investors will be retained by the Company. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized an asset of $9,546 recorded in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, associated with the Fund shares expected to meet retention requirements. The Company accounts for the program as consideration payable to customers, which is recognized as a reduction of management fee revenue over the three year installment period.

6. Variable Interest Entities
The Company holds variable interests in entities that are considered VIEs because limited partners or members do not have substantive participating rights to remove the Company as the general partner, managing member and/or investment manager or to terminate the entity without cause by simple majority vote. The Company’s variable interests primarily consist of direct equity interests in the Funds. In these capacities, the Company generally acts as sponsor of the applicable Funds and has the authority to make all significant investment and operating decisions.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs that are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
June 30, 2026March 31, 2026
Assets of Consolidated Funds and Partnerships:
Investments657,237 487,357

Subscriptions in advance$14,349 $55,561 
Other liabilities28,054 12,902 
Total liabilities$42,403 $68,463 
Non-consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Certain Funds that are VIEs are not consolidated because the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary based upon the Company’s equity interest percentage in each of the applicable VIEs. The total remaining unfunded commitments to the non-consolidated VIEs was $198,704 and $185,210 as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. Investor commitments are the primary source of financing for the non-consolidated VIEs.
The maximum exposure to loss represents the potential loss of assets recognized by the Company relating to these non-consolidated VIEs. The Company believes that its maximum exposure to loss is limited because it establishes separate limited liability or limited partnership entities to serve as the general partner or managing member of the Funds.

The carrying value of the Company’s Term Loan with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 approximated fair value. The 2020 multi-draw facility had an estimated fair value of $89,680 and $91,768 as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The Company’s Senior Notes had an estimated fair value of $92,629 and $94,641 as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt is based on then-current market rates for similar debt instruments and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
On May 8, 2026, a Consolidated Fund, entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. providing for term loan commitments of up to $250,000 (the “Bridge Facility”) to fund the acquisition of portfolio investments in advance of anticipated capital calls to the fund’s limited partners. The Company has provided an unconditional guaranty of payment of the borrower’s obligations under the Bridge Facility, subject to a maximum liability of $250,000.
On June 29, 2026, the Fund drew $145,000 under the Bridge Facility to fund the acquisition of portfolio investments. Because the Fund is reported on a three-month lag and had not commenced operations or issued financial statements as of March 31, 2026, this borrowing and the related portfolio investments are not reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026.

Equity-based compensation12,907 12,799 
Total compensation and benefits$107,664 $69,556 
11. Income Tax
The Company’s effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate including the tax effect of items required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which those items occur. The effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated amount of income subject to income tax; therefore, the effective tax rate can vary from period to period. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.
The Company’s effective tax rates were 16.7% and 19.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rates were different from the statutory tax rates due primarily to income allocated to NCI.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company made $1,951 of tax receivable agreement payments.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no unrecognized tax positions and believes there will be no changes to uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months.
In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) introduced a 15% global minimum tax under the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion model rules. Several OECD member countries have enacted tax legislation based on certain elements of these rules that became effective on January 1, 2024. Other jurisdictions have announced the intent to implement these rules, but the rules remain subject to significant negotiation, potential change, and phase-in periods. As of June 30, 2026, the Company is not subject to the Pillar Two model rules and will continue to monitor legislative developments and the potential impact on future periods.

12. Earnings per Share
The following table presents the basic earnings per share (“EPS”) for a share of Class A common stock:
Three Months Ended June 30,
20262025
Net income attributable to HLI$80,461 $53,745 
Weighted-average shares41,499,227 41,374,860 
Basic EPS of Class A common stock$1.94 $1.30 
Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses attributable to HLI, and, therefore, are not participating shares. As a result, a separate presentation of basic and diluted EPS of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been included. Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock are, however, considered potentially dilutive to the Class A common stock because the Class B units to which the Class B common stock corresponds are exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, at which time the share of Class B common stock is surrendered in exchange for a payment of its par value.

The following table presents the diluted EPS for a share of Class A common stock:

Diluted EPS of Class A common stock$1.93 $1.28 

The adjustments to net income for dilutive shares are based upon the additional income that would be allocated to HLI for the change in its ownership percentage due to the dilutive shares and adjusted for the incremental income tax expense related to the additional allocated income. Net income (loss) recorded by HLI on a standalone basis will determine if the Class B and Class C units are dilutive or antidilutive in each respective period.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to various legal, regulatory, and/or administrative proceedings from time to time. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of management, the Company does not believe it is probable that any pending or, to its knowledge, threatened legal proceeding or claim would individually or in the aggregate materially affect its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Incentive Fees
The Funds have allocated carried interest still subject to contingencies that did not meet the Company’s criteria for revenue recognition in the amounts of $1,450,510 and $1,546,358, net of amounts attributable to NCI, at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.
If the Company ultimately receives the unrecognized carried interest, a total of $362,628 and $386,589 as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively, would potentially be payable to certain employees and third parties pursuant to compensation arrangements related to carried interest profit-sharing plans. Such amounts have not been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the payment is not yet probable.

Commitments
The Company serves as the investment manager of the Funds. The general partner or managing member of each Fund is generally a separate subsidiary of the Company and has agreed to invest funds on the same basis as the limited partners in most instances. The Company’s aggregate unfunded commitment to the Funds was $290,257 and $272,151 as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.
In connection with certain of the Company’s strategic technology investments, a percentage of realized gains will be paid to one of the Company’s Co-CEOs for overseeing the initial investments and up to 15% may be paid as a discretionary bonus to other employees as those gains are realized. The Company has an unrealized net gain on strategic investments of $33,753 as of June 30, 2026.
The Company offers an Employee Investment Program (“EIP”) through which certain employees are able to invest directly into certain Company managed Funds as individual limited partners (“LPs”). The employees also have an option to enter into a loan agreement with the Company or a third-party lender to fund committed capital. The loan is collateralized by the underlying LP’s interest in the fund and return of capital distributions are utilized to pay the outstanding loan balance. The Company entered into a separate agreement with the third-party lender to backstop the employee’s performance under the loan with a commitment to purchase the LP interest from the lender at the greater of fair value or the outstanding balance of the loan in the event of a default by the employee. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the total amount of outstanding loans at the third-party lender under the EIP were $1,849 and $1,663, respectively, and the Company believes the risk of default by an employee to be remote.

Our differentiators include a global platform, a range of risk/return offerings via both drawdown funds and semi-liquid evergreen funds and across multiple investment strategies.
Recent Transactions
Stock Repurchases
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 558,591 shares of our Class A common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program (as defined below) at a weighted-average price of $89.51 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50.0 million under the Stock Repurchase Program.
Key Financial and Operating Measures
Our key financial measures are discussed below.
Revenues
We generate revenues primarily from management and advisory fees and incentive fees.
Management and advisory fees comprise specialized fund and customized separate account management fees, advisory fees and reporting, monitoring, data and analytic fees and distribution management fees.
Revenues from customized separate accounts are generally based on a contractual rate applied to committed capital, net invested capital and/or net asset value (“NAV”). These fees often decrease over the life of the contract due to built-in declines in contractual rates and/or as a result of lower net invested capital balances as capital is returned to clients. In certain cases, we also provide advisory and/or reporting services, and, therefore, we also receive fees for services such as monitoring and reporting on a client’s existing private markets investments. In addition, we may provide for investments in our specialized funds as part of our customized separate accounts. In these cases, we generally reduce the asset-based and/or incentive fees on

27


customized separate accounts to the extent that assets in the accounts are invested in our specialized funds so that our clients do not pay duplicate fees.
Revenues from specialized funds are based on a percentage of limited partners’ capital commitments to, net invested capital or NAV in, our specialized funds. The management fee during the investment period is often charged on capital commitments and after the investment period (or a defined anniversary of the fund’s initial closing) is typically reduced by a percentage of the management fee for the preceding year or charged on net invested capital or NAV. In the case of certain funds, we charge management fees on capital commitments, with the management fee increasing during the early years of the fund’s term and declining in the later years. Management fees for certain funds are discounted based on the amount of the limited partners’ commitments, whether the limited partners commit early in the offering period or if the limited partners are investors in our other funds. Revenues from specialized funds that charge management fees during their fundraising periods include retroactive fees. Retroactive fees are management fees earned from investors that commit to a specialized fund after the first close of the fund and are required to pay a catch-up management fee as if they had committed to the fund at the first closing.
Revenues from advisory and reporting, monitoring, data and analytics services are generally annual fixed fees, which vary depending on the services we provide, and are recognized over the service term. In limited cases, advisory service clients are charged basis point fees annually based on the amounts they have committed to invest pursuant to their agreements with us. In other cases where our services are limited to monitoring and reporting on investment portfolios, clients are charged a fee based on the number of investments in their portfolio.
Distribution management fees are generally earned by applying a percentage to AUM or proceeds received. Certain active management clients may elect a fee structure under which they are charged an asset-based fee plus a fee based on net realized and unrealized gains and income net of realized and unrealized losses.
Incentive fees comprise carried interest earned from our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts structured as single-client funds in which we have a commitment, and performance fees earned on certain other specialized funds and customized separate accounts.
For each of our secondary funds, direct investment funds, strategic opportunity funds and some of our evergreen funds, we generally earn carried interest equal to a fixed percentage of net profits, usually 10.0% to 12.5%, subject to a compounded annual preferred return that is generally 6.0% to 8.0%. To the extent that our primary funds also directly make secondary investments and direct investments, they generally earn carried interest on a similar basis. Furthermore, certain of our primary funds earn carried interest on their investments in other private markets funds on a primary basis that is generally 5.0% of net profits, subject to the fund’s compounded annual preferred return. We recognize carried interest when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
Performance fees are based on the aggregate amount of unrealized or realized gains earned by the applicable specialized fund or customized separate account, subject to the achievement of defined minimum returns to the clients or high-water marks. Performance fees range from 5.0% to 12.5% of net profits, with some subject to a compounded annual preferred return that varies by account but is generally 6.0% to 8.0%. Performance fees are recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
The primary contingency regarding incentive fees is the “clawback,” or the obligation to return distributions in excess of the amount prescribed by the applicable fund or separate account documents. Incentive fees are typically only required to be returned on a net of tax basis due to a clawback. As such, the tax-related portion of incentive fees is typically not subject to clawback and is therefore recognized as revenue immediately upon receipt. In the event that a payment is made before it can be recognized as revenue,

28


this amount would be included as deferred incentive fee revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized as income in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.
Expenses
Compensation and benefits is our largest expense and consists of (a) base compensation comprising salary, bonuses and benefits paid and payable to employees, (b) equity-based compensation associated with the grants of restricted stock and performance awards and (c) incentive fee compensation, which consists of carried interest and performance fee allocations. We expect to continue to experience a general rise in compensation and benefits expense commensurate with expected growth in headcount and with the need to maintain competitive compensation levels as we expand geographically and create new products and services.
Our compensation arrangements with our employees contain a significant bonus component driven by the results of our operations. Therefore, as our revenues, profitability and the amount of incentive fees earned by our customized separate accounts and specialized funds increase, our compensation costs rise.
Certain current and former employees participate in a carried interest program whereby approximately 25% of incentive fees from certain of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts are awarded to plan participants. We record compensation expense payable to plan participants as the incentive fees become estimable and collection is probable.
General, administrative and other includes travel, accounting, legal and other professional fees, commissions, placement fees, office expenses, depreciation, fund reimbursement expense and other costs associated with our operations. Our occupancy-related costs and professional services expenses, in particular, generally increase or decrease in relative proportion to the number of our employees and the overall size and scale of our business operations. Commissions and placement fees generally fluctuate based on the level and timing of fundraising activity, capital raised for our products and the extent to which we engage third-party placement agents and other distribution channels. Fund reimbursement expenses generally fluctuate in connection with the timing of new fund formations.
Other Income (Expense)
Equity in income of investees primarily represents our share of earnings from our investments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts in which we have a commitment. Equity income primarily comprises our share of the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and investment income partially offset by the expenses from these investments.
We have commitments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts that invest solely in primary funds, secondary funds and direct investments, as well as those that invest across investment types. Equity in income of investees will increase or decrease as the change in underlying fund investment valuations increases or decreases. Since our direct investment funds invest in underlying portfolio companies, their quarterly and annual valuation changes are more affected by individual company movements than our primary and secondary funds that have exposures across multiple portfolio companies in underlying private markets funds. Our specialized funds and customized separate accounts invest across industries, strategies and geographies, and therefore our investments do not include any significant concentrations in a specific sector or area outside the United States.
Interest expense includes interest paid and accrued on our outstanding debt, along with the amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of original issue discount and the write-off of deferred financing costs due to the repayment of previously outstanding debt.
Interest income is income earned on cash and cash equivalents.

29


Non-operating (loss) gain, net consists primarily of gains and losses on certain investments, changes in liability under the tax receivable agreement and other non-recurring or non-cash items.
Other income (expense) of Consolidated Funds and Partnerships consists of earnings from consolidated funds and consolidated partnerships in which consolidated general partner entities, that are not wholly-owned by us, have commitments as well as interest income, net gain on investments and interest expense on consolidated funds.
Income Tax Expense
We are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes on our share of taxable income generated by HLA. HLA is treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As such, income generated by HLA flows through to its members and is generally not subject to U.S. federal or state income tax at the partnership level. Accordingly, the tax liability with respect to income attributable to non-controlling interests (“NCI”) in HLA is generally borne by the holders of such NCI. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries generally operate as corporate entities in non-U.S. jurisdictions and are subject to non-U.S. income taxes.
Non-controlling interests
NCI reflect the portion of income or loss and the corresponding equity attributable to third-party equity holders and employees in certain consolidated subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by us. NCI are presented as separate components in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to clearly distinguish between our interests and the economic interests of third parties and employees in those entities.
Fee-Earning AUM
Fee-earning AUM is a metric we use to measure the assets from which we earn management fees. Our fee-earning AUM comprise assets in our customized separate accounts and specialized funds from which we derive management fees that are generally derived from applying a certain percentage to the appropriate fee base. We classify customized separate account revenue as management fees if the client is charged an asset-based fee, which includes the majority of our discretionary AUM accounts but also includes certain non-discretionary AUA accounts. Our fee-earning AUM is equal to the amount of capital commitments, net invested capital and NAV of our customized separate accounts and specialized funds depending on the fee terms. A substantial portion of our customized separate accounts and specialized funds earn management fees based on capital commitments or net invested capital, which are generally not affected by short‑term market appreciation or depreciation. However, certain of our products, earn management fees based on NAV, and accordingly, management fees and fee‑earning AUM for those products may be affected by changes in market valuations. As a result, the extent to which our revenues and fee‑earning AUM are affected by changes in market value varies based on the mix of fee structures across our products.
Our calculations of fee-earning AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our definition of fee-earning AUM is not based on any definition that is set forth in the agreements governing the customized separate accounts or specialized funds that we manage.

Total revenues increased $99.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to increases in both management and advisory fees and incentive fees.
Management and advisory fees increased $27.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Specialized funds revenue increased $26.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, due primarily to an increase of $19.6 million in revenue from our evergreen funds and an increase of $3.8 million in revenue from our latest direct equity fund, which added $6.7 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, in fee-earning AUM between periods. Revenue from our specialized funds for the three months ended June 30, 2026 included $2.1 million of retroactive fees from our latest direct equity fund. Customized separate accounts revenue increased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 driven by a net increase in fee-earning AUM. Reporting, monitoring, data and analytics revenue increased $1.5 million, due primarily to increased subscriptions of our technology solutions. Fund reimbursement revenue increased $1.6 million due primarily to the timing of fund related expenses. Advisory revenue decreased $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 due primarily to advisory agreements reaching the end of their term.
Incentive fees increased $71.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, due primarily to an increase in evergreen-related incentive fees during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

34


General, administrative and other expenses of Consolidated Funds and Partnerships increased $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, due primarily to new funds that are consolidated and increased fund activity.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate was 16.7% and 19.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These rates were different from the statutory tax rates due primarily to the portion of income allocated to NCI. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due primarily to changes in state and foreign income taxes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Below is a description of our unaudited non-GAAP financial measures. These are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are reconciled below. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
Fee Related Earnings
Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”) is used to highlight earnings from revenues that are measured and received on a recurring basis. FRE represents net income excluding (a) incentive fees, net of fee related performance revenues, and related compensation, (b) equity-based compensation, (c) interest income and expense, (d) income tax expense, (e) equity in income of investees, (f) non-operating (loss) gain, net and (g) certain other significant items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance. We believe FRE is useful to investors because it provides additional insight into the operating profitability of our business. FRE is presented before income taxes.
Fee related performance revenues (“FRPR”) are incentive fees expected to be measured and received from certain of our funds on a recurring basis and are not dependent on realization events of the fund’s underlying investments. FRPR includes incentive fees earned from Consolidated Funds that are eliminated under GAAP. We believe FRPR is useful to investors because it provides additional insight into our recurring revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is an internal measure of profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate the performance of our core business across reporting periods. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income excluding (a) interest expense on our outstanding debt, (b) income tax expense, (c) depreciation and amortization expense, (d) equity-based compensation expense, (e) non-operating (loss) gain, net and (f) certain other significant items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance. Adjusted EBITDA also includes FRPR related to Consolidated Funds and management fees related to Consolidated Funds.

Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share
Non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) measures our per-share earnings excluding certain significant items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance and assuming all Class B and Class C units in HLA were exchanged for Class A common stock in HLI. Non-GAAP EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by adjusted shares outstanding. Adjusted net income is income before taxes fully taxed at our estimated statutory tax rate and excludes any impact of changes in carrying amount of our redeemable NCI. Adjusted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are equal to weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted. We believe adjusted net income and non-GAAP EPS are useful to investors because they enable them to better evaluate total and per-share operating performance across reporting periods.
The following table shows a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income attributable to Hamilton Lane Incorporated for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Investment Performance
The following tables present information relating to the historical performance of our significant specialized funds. The data are presented from the date indicated through March 31, 2026 and have not been adjusted to reflect acquisitions or disposals of investments subsequent to that date.
When considering the data presented below, note that the historical results of our specialized funds are not indicative of the future results you should expect from such investments, from any future investment funds we may raise or from an investment in our Class A common stock, in part because:
market conditions and investment opportunities during previous periods may have been significantly more favorable for generating positive performance than those we may experience in the future;
the performance of our funds is generally calculated on the basis of the NAV of the funds’ investments, including unrealized gains, which may never be realized;
our historical returns derive largely from the performance of our earlier funds, whereas future fund returns will depend increasingly on the performance of our newer funds or funds not yet formed;
our newly-established funds may generate lower returns during the period that they initially deploy their capital;
in recent years, there has been increased competition for investment opportunities resulting from the increased amount of capital invested in private markets alternatives and high liquidity in debt markets, and the increased competition for investments may reduce our returns in the future;
the performance of particular funds also will be affected by risks of the industries and businesses in which they invest; and
we may create new funds that reflect a different asset mix and new investment strategies, as well as a varied geographic and industry exposure, compared to our historical funds, and any such new funds could have different returns than our previous funds.

The historical and potential future returns of the investment funds we manage are not directly linked to returns on our Class A common stock. Therefore, you should not conclude that continued positive performance of the investment funds we manage will necessarily result in positive returns on an investment in our Class A common stock. As used in this discussion, internal rate of return (“IRR”) is calculated on a pooled basis using daily cash flows. See “—Performance Methodology” below for more information on how our returns are calculated.

Performance Methodology
Drawdown Fund Performance Methodology
The indices presented for comparison are the S&P 500, MSCI World, Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure (“DJB GI”), MSCI World Infrastructure (“MSCI Infra”), ICE BofA US High Yield Index (“ICE BofA US HY”) and Credit Suisse Leverage Loan (“CS LL”), calculated on a public market equivalent (“PME”) basis. We believe these indices are commonly used by private markets and credit investors to evaluate performance. The PME calculation methodology allows private markets investment performance to be evaluated against a public index and assumes that capital is being invested in, or withdrawn from, the index on the days the capital was called and distributed from the underlying fund managers. The S&P 500 Index is a total return capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of 500 U.S. large cap stocks. The DJB GI Index includes companies domiciled globally that qualify as “pure-play” infrastructure companies, which are companies whose primary business is the ownership and operation of infrastructure assets, activities that generally generate long-term stable cash flows. The MSCI Infra Index covers mid and large cap infrastructure assets across the 23 developed market countries. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index of over 1,600 world stocks that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The ICE BofA HY Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated below investment grade rated corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The ICE BofA HY Index is rebalanced monthly. The CS LL Index is an index designed to mirror the investable universe of the U.S. dollar denominated leveraged loan market. Loans must be rated 5B or lower and the index frequency is monthly.
Our IRR represents the pooled IRR for all discretionary investments for the period from inception to March 31, 2026. Gross IRR is presented net of management fees, carried interest and expenses charged by the general partners of the underlying investments, but does not include our management fees, carried interest or expenses. Our gross IRR would decrease with the inclusion of our management fees, carried interest and expenses. Net IRR is net of all management fees, carried interest and expenses charged by the general partners of the underlying investments, as well as by us. Net IRR figures for our funds do not include cash flows attributable to the general partner. Note that secondary portfolio IRRs can be initially impacted by purchase discounts (or premiums) paid at the closing of a transaction, the impact of which will diminish over time.
“Capital Invested” refers to the total amount of all investments made by a fund, including commitment-reducing and non-commitment-reducing capital calls. “Multiple” represents total distributions from underlying investments to the fund plus the fund’s market value divided by total contributed capital. “Gross Multiple” is presented net of management fees, carried interest and expenses charged by the fund managers of the underlying investments.
Specialized fund and pre-fund performance does not include ten funds-of-funds that have investor-specific investment guidelines.
Many of our specialized funds utilize revolving credit facilities, which provide capital that is available to fund investments or pay partnership expenses and management fees. Borrowings may be paid down from time to time with investor capital contributions or distributions from investments. The use of a credit facility affects the fund’s return and magnifies the performance on the upside or on the downside.
Evergreen Fund Performance Methodology
For our evergreen funds, total return is calculated on a NAV-per-unit (or per-share) basis and reflects the percentage change in NAV per unit over the applicable measurement period, inclusive of reinvested distributions and net of all management fees, incentive fees and fund-level expenses. Returns are presented

43


for the institutional share class of the applicable funds. Total return since inception represents the annualized compounded return from the fund's inception date through March 31, 2026. Total return assumes the reinvestment of all distributions received during the period at NAV. Total return does not reflect the impact of any applicable sales charges or taxes payable by investors. Each of our evergreen funds offers multiple share classes with varying fee structures, and returns for other share classes may differ, and in some cases may be lower, due to higher management fees, distribution fees, selling commissions or other class-specific expenses.
All evergreen fund performance information is presented on a 90-day lag from our fiscal year end. Performance results presented are historical and do not guarantee future results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have managed our historical liquidity and capital requirements primarily through the receipt of management and advisory fee revenues. Our primary cash flow activities involve: (1) generating cash flow from operations, which largely includes management and advisory fees; (2) realizations generated from our investment activities; (3) funding capital commitments that we have made to certain of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts; (4) making dividend payments to our stockholders and distributions to holders of HLA units; and (5) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under our outstanding debt. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents were $337.0 million and $361.0 million, respectively.
Our material sources of cash from our operations include: (1) management and advisory fees, which are collected monthly or quarterly; (2) incentive fees, which are volatile and largely unpredictable as to amount and timing; and (3) fund distributions related to investments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts that we manage. We use cash flow from operations primarily to pay compensation and related expenses, general, administrative and other expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and distributions to our owners and to fund commitments to certain of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts. If cash flow from operations was insufficient to fund distributions to our owners, we expect that we would suspend paying such distributions.
We have also accessed the capital markets and used proceeds from sales of our Class A common stock to settle in cash exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement.
Finally, we have used available cash and borrowings from our Loan Agreements (defined below) and Senior Notes (defined below) to make strategic investments in companies that seek to offer technology-driven private markets data and wealth management solutions, to seed new specialized funds and for general corporate purposes.

44


Senior Notes and Loan Agreements
In 2024, HLA issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of 5.28% senior notes due October 15, 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) pursuant to a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among HLA and the institutional purchasers party thereto in a private placement transaction. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears and commenced on April 15, 2025. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues from and including October 8, 2024. The Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2029.
We maintain our Term Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”), Revolving Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Revolving Loan Agreement”), 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement”), and 2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement (as amended, the “2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement” and, together with the Term Loan Agreement, the Revolving Loan Agreement, and the 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreements”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”). The Loan Agreements are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted and the aggregate principal amount of loans that may be outstanding under all of the Loan Agreements is subject to an aggregate cap of $325 million (the “Cap”).
On April 29, 2026, we amended each of the Term Loan Agreement, Revolving Loan Agreement, the 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement and the 2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement to, among other things, (a) add a covenant regarding a revolving credit facility to be established for the benefit of certain of our funds, (b) expand the scope of warehouse financing arrangements permitted under the Loan Agreements, subject to an aggregate cap of $500 million, (c) increase the cap on certain unsecured guarantees of debt that HLA may provide from $25 million to $70 million, and (d) add a $20 million cap on the aggregate amount of unsecured indebtedness HLA may incur in the normal course of business.
The Term Loan Agreement has a maturity date of July 1, 2029 and the interest rate is a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate minus 1.25% subject to a floor of 3.00%. As of June 30, 2026, we had an outstanding balance of $81 million under the Term Loan Agreement.
The Revolving Loan Agreement provides that the aggregate outstanding balance will not exceed $50 million, subject to the Cap, and has a maturity date of October 6, 2027. The interest rate is a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate minus 1.50% subject to a floor of 2.25%. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have an outstanding balance under the Revolving Loan Agreement.
The 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement provides for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million with a maturity date of April 1, 2030. The interest rate is a fixed per annum rate of 3.50%. As of June 30, 2026, we had an outstanding balance of $95 million under the 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement.
The 2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million, subject to the Cap, and has a maturity date of October 1, 2029. The interest rate for borrowings is equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate minus 1.35% and (ii) 3.00%. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have an outstanding balance under the 2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement. We are entitled to request term loans not to exceed $50 million in the aggregate, subject to the Cap, through October 6, 2027.

The Loan Agreements and the Note Purchase Agreement contain covenants that, among other things, limit HLA’s ability to incur indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, merge with other companies, create, incur or allow liens, make investments, pay dividends or make distributions, engage in transactions with affiliates and take certain actions with respect to management fees. The Loan Agreements also require HLA to maintain, among other requirements, (a) a specified amount of management fees, (b) a specified amount of adjusted EBITDA minus dividend distributions (other than tax distributions), as defined in the Loan Agreements, and (c) a specified minimum tangible net worth, during the term of each of the Loan Agreements. The Note Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants, including (a) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of 3.50 to 1.00 as of March 31 and September 30 of each calendar year (each, a “Test Date”), (b) a minimum annual Management Fees (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) covenant as of each Test Date of not less than the greater of (i) $185 million and (ii) the amount equal to 80% of the Management Fees received by HLA during the six calendar month period ended on the immediately preceding Test Date, and other customary covenants. The obligations under the Loan Agreements are secured by substantially all the assets of HLA. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the principal amount of debt outstanding equaled $276.3 million and $280.6 million, respectively. We had $148.8 million in availability under the Loan Agreements as of June 30, 2026.
Consolidated Fund Bridge Facility
In May 2026, a Consolidated Fund, entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. providing for term loan commitments of up to $250 million (the “Bridge Facility”) to finance the acquisition of portfolio investments in advance of anticipated capital calls to be made to the Fund's limited partners. As of June 30, 2026, $145.0 million was outstanding under the Bridge Facility. Because the Fund is reported on a three-month lag and had not commenced operations or issued financial statements as of March 31, 2026, this borrowing is not reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026.
HLA provided an unconditional guaranty of payment of the Fund’s obligations under the Bridge Facility, subject to a maximum liability of $250.0 million. Because this guaranty supports the payment obligations of a consolidated subsidiary, it is not recognized as a separate liability in our consolidated financial statements; it instead represents our commitment to stand behind indebtedness of the consolidated group. As of June 30, 2026, $105.0 million of the maximum guaranty amount represented undrawn capacity under the facility.
Amounts outstanding under the Bridge Facility are required to be prepaid within one business day of the Fund’s receipt of capital contributions from the Fund’s limited partners or proceeds of a related subscription credit facility. We expect the Bridge Facility to be repaid in full, and the related guaranty correspondingly reduced or terminated, once the Fund’s initial capital raising activities are completed and its subscription credit facility becomes available to fund capital calls. We believe the likelihood that we will be required to perform under this guaranty is remote.
We anticipate that we may be required to guarantee similar indebtedness on behalf of our funds, whether consolidated or not, in the future.

46


Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity
We generate significant cash flows from operating activities. We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital requirements through our cash flows from operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents and our ability to obtain future external financing. However, the availability of capital from the Loan Agreements and our cash balances are exposed to the credit risks of the financial institutions at which they are held. If events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any such events, occur, our ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, or to access existing or enter into new banking arrangements or facilities to pay operational and other costs, may be threatened or lost.
We will also continue to evaluate opportunities, based on market conditions, to access the capital markets for working capital or to use proceeds from sales of our Class A common stock to settle in cash exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement. The timing or size of any potential transactions will depend on a number of factors, including market opportunities and our views regarding our capital and liquidity positions and potential future needs. There can be no assurance that any such transactions will be completed on favorable terms, or at all.
We will also continue to evaluate opportunities to make strategic investments in companies that seek to offer technology-driven private markets data and wealth management solutions and to use cash to seed new specialized funds.
In November 2018, our board of directors authorized a program to repurchase up to 6% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, not to exceed $50 million (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). Our board of directors periodically reviews the Stock Repurchase Program, and on May 21, 2026, we announced that our board of directors approved an increase in the authorization under the Stock Repurchase Program to permit us to purchase up to $100.0 million of our Class A common stock, net of amounts already repurchased under the pre-existing authorization, with no share count or duration limitation. As of May 21, 2026, the total repurchase capacity available under the Stock Repurchase Program authorization was approximately $80.0 million. The Stock Repurchase Program does not include specific price targets or timetables and may be suspended or terminated by us at any time. We intend to finance the purchases using available working capital and/or external financing. The amended authorization does not have an expiration date. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 558,591 shares of our Class A common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program at a weighted-average price of $89.51 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50.0 million. As of June 30, 2026, the total repurchase capacity available under the Stock Repurchase Program was approximately $30.0 million.
We expect that our primary short-term and long-term liquidity needs will comprise cash to: (1) provide capital to facilitate the growth of our business; (2) fund commitments to our investments; (3) pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees; (4) make payments and/or exercise early termination buyout rights under the tax receivable agreement; (5) fund capital expenditures, make strategic investments and warehouse investments for our Funds; (6) pay interest and principal due on our outstanding debt; (7) pay income taxes; (8) make dividend payments to our stockholders and distributions to holders of HLA units in accordance with our distribution policy; (9) settle exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement from time to time; (10) settle in cash any exercises of the warrant we issued to The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America in a private placement transaction related to a maximum of 400,000 shares of our Class A common stock; and (11) fund purchases of our Class A common stock pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program.
We are required to maintain minimum net capital balances for regulatory purposes for certain of our foreign subsidiaries and our broker-dealer subsidiary, and minimum cash balances related to our self-funded

47


medical insurance plan put in place as of January 1, 2025. The net capital requirements are met by retaining cash. As a result, we may be restricted in our ability to transfer cash between different operating entities and jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, we were required to maintain approximately $8.0 million, in liquid net assets to meet regulatory net capital and capital adequacy requirements. We are in compliance with these regulatory requirements as of each such date.
Dividend Policy
The declaration and payment by us of any future dividends to holders of our Class A common stock is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. We intend to continue to pay a cash dividend on a quarterly basis. Subject to funds being legally available, we will cause HLA to make pro rata distributions to its members, including us, in an amount at least sufficient to allow us to pay all applicable taxes, to make payments under the tax receivable agreement, and to pay our corporate and other overhead expenses.
Tax Receivable Agreement
We expect that periodic exchanges of membership units of HLA by members of HLA will result in increases in the tax basis in our share of the assets of HLA that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis are expected to increase our depreciation and amortization deductions and create other tax benefits and therefore may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. The tax receivable agreement will require us to pay 85% of the amount of these and certain other tax benefits, if any, that we realize (or are deemed to realize in the case of an early termination payment, a change in control or a material breach by us of our obligations under the tax receivable agreement) to the pre-IPO members of HLA.

Net cash provided by financing activities$47,804 $3,261 
Operating Activities
Operating activities generally reflect our earnings in the respective periods after adjusting for significant non-cash activity, including equity in income of investees, equity-based compensation, lease expense, fair value adjustments to investments, consideration payable to customers and depreciation and amortization, all of which are included in earnings. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our net cash provided by operating activities was driven primarily by receipts of management fees and incentive fees, partially offset by payment of operating expenses, which includes compensation and benefits and general, administrative and other expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, cash provided by operating activities was impacted by a change in the timing of bonus payments, as a portion of the fiscal 2026 bonus was partially paid in May 2026.

48


Investing Activities
Investing activities generally reflect cash used for fixed asset purchases and contributions to and distributions from our investments. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our net cash used in investing activities was driven primarily by purchases of furniture, fixtures and equipment, purchases of investments, and net contributions to our Funds. The increase in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year was primarily driven by higher purchases of investments by our Consolidated Funds, reflecting increased investment activity in funds consolidated in the prior year that had lower levels of activity during the earlier stages of their deployment.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities generally reflect cash received from debt and equity financings, payments to owners in the form of dividends, distributions and repurchases of shares and scheduled drawdowns and repayments of our outstanding debt. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our net cash provided by financing activities was driven primarily by contributions from NCI in Consolidated Funds partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders, and distributions to HLA members. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was further offset by the purchase and retirement of shares of our Class A common stock.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information including our accounts, our wholly owned subsidiaries, and entities that we control, for which all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe we have made all necessary adjustments (which consisted of only normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates or judgments, however, are both subjective and subject to change, and actual results may differ from our assumptions and estimates.
For a more complete discussion of the accounting judgments and estimates that we have identified as critical in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2026 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding recent accounting developments and their impact on our results can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a broad range of risks inherent in the financial markets in which we participate, including price risk, interest-rate risk, access to and cost of financing risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and foreign exchange-rate risk. Potentially negative effects of these risks may be mitigated to a certain extent by those aspects of our investment approach, investment strategies, fundraising practices or other business activities that are designed to benefit, either in relative or absolute terms, from periods of economic weakness, tighter credit or financial market dislocations.
Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment manager for our specialized funds and customized separate accounts and the sensitivities to movements in the fair value of their investments, which may adversely affect our equity in income of investees. While the majority of our management fees are based on commitments or net invested capital, a portion of our management fees are based on NAV and, accordingly, are sensitive to changes in the fair value of the underlying investments. In addition, a portion of our incentive fees are performance fees that are subject to a high-water mark, and, as a result, declines in NAV may increase the amount of future appreciation required before such incentive fees are earned.
Fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts may fluctuate in response to changes in the value of securities, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. The impact of investment risk is as follows:
Equity in income of investees changes along with the realized and unrealized gains of the underlying investments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts in which we have a general partner commitment. Our general partner investments include thousands of unique underlying portfolio investments with no significant concentration in any industry or country outside of the United States.
Management fees from our specialized funds and customized separate accounts are derived from applying a contractual fee rate to a specified fee base, which is generally capital committed or net invested capital. For those arrangements in which the applicable fee base is NAV, changes in the fair value of the underlying investments will impact management fees. As of June 30, 2026, we estimate that a hypothetical 10% decrease in the NAV-based fee base (holding all other variables constant) would decrease management fee revenue by approximately $25.7 million over the next 12 months.
Incentive fees from our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts are inherently variable and are generally dependent on realized investment performance and achievement of performance criteria. In addition, for certain evergreen funds and customized separate accounts, performance fees are based on the aggregate amount of unrealized or realized gains and are subject to achievement of defined minimum returns and/or a high-water mark. A high-water mark feature generally requires that NAV exceed the highest period-end NAV (as adjusted pursuant to the applicable governing documents) before performance fees are earned. Accordingly, declines in NAV may delay or reduce future incentive fees by increasing the amount of subsequent NAV appreciation required to exceed the applicable high-water mark.

50


Exchange Rate Risk
Several of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts hold investments denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies that may be affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currency, which could impact investment performance. The currency exposure related to investments in foreign currency assets is limited to our interest, which is typically one percent of total capital commitments. We do not possess significant assets in foreign countries in which we operate or engage in material transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, changes in exchange rates are not expected to materially impact our financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2026, we had $176.3 million in borrowings outstanding under our Loan Agreements, consisting of $81.3 million outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement and $95.0 million outstanding under the 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement. We did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Loan Agreement or the 2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2026.
The annual interest rate on the Term Loan Agreement, which is at the prime rate minus 1.25%, subject to a floor of 3.00%, was 5.50% as of June 30, 2026. The interest rate under the 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement is fixed.
Our $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due October 15, 2029 have a fixed interest rate of 5.28%.
Based on the floating rate component of our Loan Agreements payable as of June 30, 2026, we estimate that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in increased interest expense of approximately $0.8 million over the next 12 months.
Credit Risk
We are party to agreements providing for various financial services and transactions that contain an element of risk in the event that the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In such agreements, we depend on the respective counterparty to make payment or otherwise perform. We generally endeavor to minimize our risk of exposure by limiting the counterparties with which we enter into financial transactions to reputable financial institutions. In other circumstances, availability of financing from financial institutions may be uncertain due to market events, and we may not be able to access these financing markets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2026. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and

51


procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on management’s evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at June 30, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
52



PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to various legal, regulatory and/or administrative proceedings from time to time. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of management, we do not believe it is probable that any pending or, to our knowledge, threatened legal proceeding or claim would individually or in the aggregate materially affect our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2026 Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The authorization provides us the flexibility to repurchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, based on market conditions and other factors. On May 21, 2026, we announced that our board of directors had approved an increase in the authorization under the Stock Repurchase Program to permit us to purchase up to $100 million of our Class A common stock, net of amounts already repurchased under the pre-existing authorization, with no share count or duration limitations. As of May 21, 2026, the total repurchase capacity available under the Stock Repurchase Program authorization was approximately $80.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 558,591 shares of our Class A common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program at a weighted-average price of $89.51 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50.0 million under the Stock Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2026, the total repurchase capacity available under the Stock Repurchase Program was approximately $30.0 million.

Item 5. Other Information
Trading Arrangements
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, none of our directors or officers adopted, terminated or modified any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

Conformed Through FifthSixth Amendment

Annex A
This TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated August 23, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), between JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., successor-in-interest by purchase of the line of credit made pursuant to the terms of the Agreement from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver for First Republic Bank, San Francisco, CA (“Lender”) and HAMILTON LANE ADVISORS, L.L.C., a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“Borrower”) provides the terms on which Lender will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Lender. The parties agree as follows:
1.    ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
1.1    Subject to Section 1.2, accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP and calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.
1.2    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the date of this Agreement, there shall be a change in GAAP that would affect the calculation of any amounts included in any covenants or other provisions of this Agreement, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to revise the covenant or other provision to give effect to the original intent of the parties and, until such amendment is effected, the calculation shall be based on GAAP as in effect prior to the change in GAAP and the Borrower shall provide the Lender with a reconciliation of the differences.
2.    LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1    Promise to Pay.
    Borrower promises to pay Lender the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

2.1.1     Term Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) on the Effective Date the Lender advanced $75,000,000 (the “Initial Term Advance”) to Borrower; (ii) on the First Amendment Effective Date, the Lender advanced $9,154,427.08 (the “Incremental Term Advance”) to Borrower; and (iii) on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Lender advanced $92,882,812.50 (the “Second Incremental Term Advance” and, collectively with the Initial Term Advance and the Incremental Term Advance, “Facility I” or the “Term Advances”)) to Borrower. As of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance is $95,000,000. In connection with each Additional Advance, Lender shall update Schedule II to reflect a straight line amortization of all Additional Amounts as of such date; for the avoidance of doubt, such amortization shall evenly distribute the aggregate principal amount of all Additional Amounts across each of the remaining quarterly repayment dates. After repayment, no Term Advance may be reborrowed. Borrower shall make interest-only payments from the date of each Term Advance through, but excluding, July 1, 2023 (the “Amortization Date”). Beginning with the payment due on the Amortization Date, Borrower shall repay the Term Advances (for avoidance of doubt, including the portion of the Additional Advances that do not constitute Additional Amounts) (i) on the first calendar day of each calendar quarter in installments of principal as set forth in Schedule II hereof plus (ii) monthly payments of accrued interest. Unless the notes issued and sold pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Notes”) have been refinanced, repaid or terminated, all unpaid principal and interest on each Term Advance shall be due on the earlier of (i) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the earlier of the date the Notes (a) mature, (b) are repaid pursuant to Section 8.8 of the Initial Note Purchase Agreement or the corresponding provision of any Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement, or (c) are redeemed pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Initial Note Purchase Agreement or the corresponding provision of any Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement (a “Termination Event”) or (ii) July 1, 2029 (the “Term Maturity Date”).
To obtain a Term Advance, Borrower shall notify Lender by delivering to Lender the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B by facsimile or electronic mail in portable document format (PDF) by 12:00 p.m. Pacific

LOAN NO.: 21-595099-3 / AFS No.: 0210690058
FAC ID: 202728409 / UCN: 090005620000


time on the Business Day before the Business Day that the Term Advance is to be made. Lender will credit Term Advances to the Auto Debit Account (as defined in Section 2.2(d)). Lender may make Term Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Designated Representative or his or her designee or without instructions if the Term Advances are necessary to meet Obligations that have become due.
2.2    Interest Rate, Payments.
(a)    Interest Rate. Term Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance, as set forth in the applicable Payment/Advance Form, at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate minus 1.25% and (ii) 3.00%, provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Term Advances is equal to or less than $40,000,000 by the date that is three (3) years after the date hereof, then the applicable interest rate will be reduced by 0.25%. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate, changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(b)    Default Rate. After maturity or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice from the Lender (which notice may be retroactive to the date of the Event of Default or maturity), principal Lender Obligations accrue interest at 5% above the rate effective on the maturity date or on the date of the Event of Default, as applicable.
(c)    Interest Payments. Interest due on the Term Advances is payable in arrears on the 10th calendar day of each month. After an Event of Default, Lender may debit the Auto Debit Account (as defined in Section 2.2(d)) for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Lender. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day.
(d)     Automatic Payment Authorization. Borrower authorizes Lender to make automatic deductions (“Auto Debit”) from the following deposit account (the “Auto Debit Account”) maintained by Borrower at Lender’s offices in order to pay, when and as due, all installment payments of interest, and/or principal, renewal, modification or other fees or payments (a “Payment”) that Borrower is required or obligated to pay Lender under the Loan Documents provided, that Lender shall notify Borrower of any amounts automatically deducted from the Auto Debit Account (which notice may be delivered concurrently with any Auto Debit), and provided, further, that no Auto Debit shall be effected for any fees or payments that are not scheduled unless Borrower shall have received, prior to the making of the Auto Debit, a written invoice, which may be delivered via email, detailing the fees or payments that are due:
Account No:    [***]
Without limiting any of the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if Borrower defaults in its obligation to make a Payment because the collected funds in the Auto Debit Account are insufficient to make such Payment in full on the date that such Payment is due, then Borrower shall be responsible for all late payment charges and other consequences of such default by Borrower under the terms of the Loan Documents.
(i)    Revocation of Authorization. Subject to the Section immediately following this Section, this authorization shall continue in full force and effect until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the date on which Lender actually receives written notice from Borrower expressly revoking the authority granted to the Lender to charge the Auto Debit Account for Payments in connection with the Term Advances. No such revocation by Borrower shall in any way release Borrower from or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, including Borrower’s obligations to continue to make all Payments required under the terms of the Loan Documents.
(ii)    Termination by Lender. The Lender, at its option and in its discretion, reserves the right to terminate the arrangement for Auto Debit pursuant to this Section at any time effective upon prior written notice of such election (a “Termination Notice”) given by Lender to Borrower. Without limiting the
2
LOAN NO.: 21-595099-3 / AFS No.: 0210690058
FAC ID: 202728409 / UCN: 090005620000


generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender may elect to give a Termination Notice to Borrower if Borrower fails to comply with any of the Lender’s rules, regulations, or policies relating to the Auto Debit Account, including requirements regarding minimum balance, service charges, overdrafts, insufficient funds, uncollected funds, returned items, and limitations on withdrawals.
(iii)    Increase in Interest Rate Upon Termination of Auto Debit. The date on which the arrangement for Auto Debit for the Auto Debit Account is terminated at the election of the Borrower is referred to as the “Auto Debit Termination Date”. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender would not have been willing to make the Term Advances at the interest rate or interest rates contained in the Loan Documents in the absence of the arrangement for Auto Debit from the Auto Debit Account pursuant to this authorization. Therefore, if there is a termination resulting from Borrower’s revocation of the Auto Debit arrangement, effective on the first due date of a Payment following the Auto Debit Termination Date, Lender, at its option and in its discretion, shall have the right to increase the interest rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Documents to a rate which is equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum (the “Percentage Rate Increase”) above the otherwise applicable interest rate from time to time under the terms of the Loan Documents.
(e)    Late Payments. If any installment of interest is not paid within 10 Business Days after the date on which it is due, Borrower shall immediately pay a late charge equal to 5% of such installment to Lender to compensate the Lender for administrative costs and expenses incurred in connection with such late payment. Borrower agrees that the actual damages suffered by Lender because of any late installment payment are extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, and the late charge described in this Section represents a reasonable attempt to fix such damages under the circumstances existing at the time this Agreement is executed. Lender’s acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement and shall not affect Lender’s right to enforce any of its rights and remedies against any Person liable for payment of this Agreement.
2.3    Fees. Borrower will pay:
(a)    [Reserved.]

(b)    Additional Uncommitted Term Advance Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee, equal to [***], on the date each such Additional Uncommitted Term Advance is made;

(c)    [Reserved.]

(d)    [Reserved.]

(e)    Lender Expenses. Upon demand by Lender, all Lender Expenses reasonably incurred after the Effective Date.

2.4    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

LOAN NO.: 21-595099-3 / AFS No.: 0210690058
FAC ID: 202728409 / UCN: 090005620000


(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c)    Tax Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.4) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 2.4, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e)    Status of Lender. If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than IRS Form W-9) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.4), it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.4(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.4 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Lender, at its option, may apply all payments made under this Agreement or other Loan Documents to principal, interest, fees and other Lender Expenses in such order and amounts as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. The remedies of Lender, as provided herein, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any delay by Lender in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence, and no waiver is effective unless signed by Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency, and Lender is not required to foreclose on any Collateral. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which Borrower is liable.

Lender may enforce such obligations and collect such amounts in its own name or that of Borrower or any Person with a right to effect such enforcement and collection directly from the parties obligated thereon and to apply the proceeds to the Lender Obligations.
9.4    Power of Attorney. Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and for the period it continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) demand and collect Management Fees or Incentive Fees, and enforce any of Borrower’s rights under the Management Agreements and Charter Documents; (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about any accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Lender may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Lender’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Lender Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide Term Advances terminates.

The parties agree as follows:
1.    ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
1.1    Subject to Section 1.2, accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP and calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.
1.2    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the date of this Agreement, there shall be a change in GAAP that would affect the calculation of any amounts included in any covenants or other provisions of this Agreement, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to revise the covenant or other provision to give effect to the original intent of the parties and, until such amendment is effected, the calculation shall be based on GAAP as in effect prior to the change in GAAP and the Borrower shall provide the Lender with a reconciliation of the differences.
2.    LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1    Promise to Pay.
    Borrower promises to pay Lender the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

2.1.1     Revolving Advances.
(a)     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender will make Advances to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of up to the Revolving Line (“Facility II”). Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement. To obtain an Advance, Borrower shall notify Lender by delivering to Lender the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B by facsimile or electronic mail in portable document format (PDF) by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day before the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Lender will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit Account with Lender, as defined in Section 2.2(c). Lender may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Designated Representative or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations that have become due; provided that Borrower may not use the proceeds of any Advances to repay principal repayment required pursuant to Section 6.7. Each request by Borrower for an Advance shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower to Lender that, after giving effect to that Advance, the aggregate outstanding Credit Extensions will not exceed the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 and (ii) the Revolving Availability Amount (the “Revolving Line”).
(b)    Subject to the provision below, unless the notes issued and sold pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Notes”) have been refinanced, repaid or terminated, Borrower shall repay the entire principal balance of all outstanding Advances, plus accrued but unpaid interest, on the date that is the earlier of (i) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the earlier of the date the Notes (a) mature, (b) are repaid pursuant to Section 8.8 of the Initial Note Purchase Agreement or the corresponding provision of any Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement, or (c) are redeemed pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Initial Note Purchase Agreement or the corresponding provision of any Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement (a “Termination Event”) or (ii) October 16, 2027 (the “Revolving Maturity Date”). Borrowers may, on occasion request an extension of the Revolving Maturity Date, for a term of 365 days. Such extension will be subject to the following conditions precedent: (a) the consent of

FAC ID: 202724736 / UCN: 090005620000


Lender, in its sole discretion; (b) such extension request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G and shall be submitted no earlier than 60 days before and no later than 30 days before the then current Revolving Maturity Date; (c) payment by Borrowers of the Extension Fee (which fee shall be fully earned on the date paid and be non-refundable); (d) on and as of the date of such extension request and on the date that such extension of the Revolving Maturity Date becomes effective (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (e) the representations and warranties in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on the date of extension (except to the extent that such representation and warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation or warranty, the foregoing materiality qualifier shall be disregarded for the purposes of this condition, or such representation and warranty relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date). Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in this Section 2.1.1(b), Lender will confirm the new Revolving Maturity Date to Borrowers by electronic communication and such Revolving Maturity Date will be automatically extended without any further action by the parties.
2.1.2     Letters of Credit. As part of the Revolving Line, Lender shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account of up to $2,000,000. The aggregate amount utilized for the issuance of Letters of Credit shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line. Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Lender’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement. If any Letter of Credit is outstanding after the Revolving Maturity Date, Borrower shall provide cash collateral to secure its obligations in connection with such Letter of Credit on terms acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Lender may reasonably request.
2.2    Interest Rate, Payments.
(a)    Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance, as set forth in the applicable Payment/Advance Form, at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate minus 1.50% and (ii) 2.25%. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(b)    Default Rate. After maturity or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice from the Lender (which notice may be retroactive to the date of the Event of Default or maturity), principal Lender Obligations accrue interest at 5% above the rate effective on the maturity date or on the date of the Event of Default, as applicable.
(c)    Automatic Payment Authorization. Borrower authorizes Lender to make automatic deductions (“Auto Debit”) from the following deposit account (the “Auto Debit Account”) maintained by Borrower at Lender’s offices in order to pay, when and as due, all installment payments of interest, and/or principal, renewal, modification or other fees or payments (a “Payment”) that Borrower is required or obligated to pay Lender under the Loan Documents provided, that Lender shall notify Borrower of any amounts automatically deducted from the Auto Debit Account (which notice may be delivered concurrently with any Auto Debit), and provided, further, that no Auto Debit shall be effected for any fees or payments that are not scheduled unless Borrower shall have received, prior to the making of the Auto Debit, a written invoice, which may be delivered via email, detailing the fees or payments that are due:
Account No:    [***]
        Without limiting any of the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if Borrower defaults in its obligation to make a Payment because the collected funds in the Auto Debit Account are insufficient to make such Payment in full on the date that such Payment is due, then Borrower shall be responsible for all late payment charges and other consequences of such default by Borrower under the terms of the Loan Documents.

FAC ID: 202724736 / UCN: 090005620000


    (i)     Revocation of Authorization. Subject to the Section immediately following this Section, this authorization shall continue in full force and effect until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the date on which Lender actually receives written notice from Borrower expressly revoking the authority granted to the Lender to charge the Auto Debit Account for Payments in connection with the Credit Extensions. No such revocation by Borrower shall in any way release Borrower from or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, including Borrower’s obligations to continue to make all Payments required under the terms of the Loan Documents.
    (ii)    Termination by Lender. The Lender, at its option and in its discretion, reserves the right to terminate the arrangement for Auto Debit pursuant to this Section at any time effective upon prior written notice of such election (a “Termination Notice”) given by Lender to Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender may elect to give a Termination Notice to Borrower if Borrower fails to comply with any of the Lender’s rules, regulations, or policies relating to the Auto Debit Account, including requirements regarding minimum balance, service charges, overdrafts, insufficient funds, uncollected funds, returned items, and limitations on withdrawals.
    (iii)    Increase in Interest Rate Upon Termination of Auto Debit. The date on which the arrangement for Auto Debit for the Auto Debit Account is terminated at the election of the Borrower is referred to as the “Auto Debit Termination Date”. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender would not have been willing to make the Credit Extensions at the interest rate or interest rates contained in the Loan Documents in the absence of the arrangement for Auto Debit from the Auto Debit Account pursuant to this authorization. Therefore, if there is a termination resulting from Borrower’s revocation of the Auto Debit arrangement, effective on the first due date of a Payment following the Auto Debit Termination Date, Lender, at its option and in its discretion, shall have the right to increase the interest rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Documents to a rate which is equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum (the “Percentage Rate Increase”) above the otherwise applicable interest rate from time to time under the terms of the Loan Documents.
(d)    Interest Payments. Interest due on the Advances is payable in arrears on the 10th calendar day of each month. After an Event of Default, Lender may debit the Auto Debit Account (as defined in Section 2.2(c)) for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Lender. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day.
(e)    Principal Payments. Except as provided in Section 6.7, principal balance of all outstanding Advances shall be repaid on the Revolving Maturity Date.
(f)    Late Payments. If any installment of interest is not paid within 10 Business Days after the date on which it is due, Borrower shall immediately pay a late charge equal to 5% of such installment to Lender to compensate the Lender for administrative costs and expenses incurred in connection with such late payment. Borrower agrees that the actual damages suffered by Lender because of any late installment payment are extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, and the late charge described in this Section represents a reasonable attempt to fix such damages under the circumstances existing at the time this Agreement is executed. Lender’s acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement and shall not affect Lender’s right to enforce any of its rights and remedies against any Person liable for payment of this Agreement.
2.3    Fees. Borrower will pay:
(a)    Facility II Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee [***]; and
(b)    Lender Expenses. Upon demand by Lender, all Lender Expenses reasonably incurred after the Effective Date.
2.4    Taxes.

FAC ID: 202724736 / UCN: 090005620000


(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c)    Tax Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.4) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 2.4, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e)    Status of Lender. If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than IRS Form W-9) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.4), it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party

LOAN NO.: 85-595100-9 / AFS No.: 0210690058
FAC ID: 202724736 / UCN: 090005620000


pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.4(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.4 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender, the termination of the Revolving Line and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
3.    CONDITIONS OF LOANS

Lender, at its option, may
11
LOAN NO.: 85-595100-9 / AFS No.: 0210690058
FAC ID: 202724736 / UCN: 090005620000


apply all payments made under this Agreement or other Loan Documents to principal, interest, fees and other Lender Expenses in such order and amounts as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. The remedies of Lender, as provided herein, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any delay by Lender in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence, and no waiver is effective unless signed by Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency, and Lender is not required to foreclose on any Collateral. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which Borrower is liable.
9.2    Rights to Payment. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may: (i) in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, demand, collect, receive and give receipts for any and all money and other property due or to become due in connection with the Investment Interests, including without limitation, a demand on the other parties for payment of amounts arising thereunder provided, however, prior to making demand on any third parties, Lender shall provide written notice to the Borrower; and (ii) take possession of and endorse and collect any or all notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment relating to the Investment Interests or any other Collateral and withdraw and apply any amounts in any account of Borrower held with Lender (including, without limitation, the Designated Account) against the Lender Obligations.
9.3    Management Fees. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may: (i) request payment of the Management Fees or Incentive Fees in accordance with the Management Agreements and Charter Documents and enforce the obligation of any Person to pay Management Fees or Incentive Fees; and (ii) collect all Management Fees or Incentive Fees owed under any of the Management Agreements or Charter Documents. Lender may enforce such obligations and collect such amounts in its own name or that of Borrower or any Person with a right to effect such enforcement and collection directly from the parties obligated thereon and to apply the proceeds to the Lender Obligations.
9.4    Power of Attorney. Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and for the period it continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) demand and collect Management Fees or Incentive Fees, and enforce any of Borrower’s rights under the Management Agreements and Charter Documents; (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about any accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Lender may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Lender’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Lender Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
10.    NOTICES. Any notice, demand or request required under the Loan Documents shall be given in writing (at the addresses set forth below) by any of the following means: (i) personal service; (ii) electronic communication, whether by telecopier or other form of electronic communication; (iii) overnight courier; or (iv) registered or certified, first class U.S. mail, return receipt requested, or to such other addresses as Lender and Borrower may specify from time to time in writing.

No Borrower may assign this Agreement or any rights under it without Lender’s prior written consent which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s discretion. Lender has the right to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement, provided that, except during the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to consent to the foregoing if such transfer is to a party that is not a commercial lender regulated by a governmental authority, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of an assignment, Lender, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the assignees, and the Lender Obligations of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Lender Obligations owing to, each assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lender (or any assignee), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register. If Lender (or any assignee) sells a participation, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Lender Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided, that Lender (or such assignee) shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Lender Obligations or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Lender (or such assignee) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, including payments of interest and principal, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The portion of the Participant Register relating to any participant requesting payment from Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made available to Borrower upon reasonable request.
12.2    Indemnification.

No oral statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as an amendment or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver shall be limited to the circumstance described in it, and shall not apply to any other circumstance, or give rise to any obligation to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements, which merge into the Loan Documents.
12.6    Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement transmitted by a party to another party via facsimile or an emailed “pdf” version shall be binding on the signatory thereto. Notwithstanding the delivery of the faxed or emailed copy, Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender original executed copies of this Agreement.

12.7    Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force while any Lender Obligations remain outstanding (other than indemnities which survive termination and are unliquidated). The obligations of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Lender will survive until all statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Lender have run.
12.8    Certificates. Whether or not expressly stated herein or in any other Loan Document, all certifications delivered, from time to time, by an officer of the Borrower in a document delivered to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made by such officer in his or her capacity as an officer and not in his or her individual capacity regardless of whether the certification expressly so states.

any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of any registration that issues from such intent-to-use application under applicable federal law; (h) those assets as to which the Lender and Borrower reasonably agree in writing that the cost of obtaining such a security interest or perfection thereof is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lender of the security to be afforded thereby; (i) capital assets subject to capital leases or purchase money liens, in each case to the extent (x) such capital lease or purchase money lien is permitted hereunder and (y) a lien on such capital assets is prohibited by the documents providing for the capital lease or purchase money lien; (j) payroll accounts and escrow accounts; or (k) assets pledged or sold pursuant to, or in connection with, a Repo an Approved Warehouse Facility. For avoidance of doubt, Borrower’s economic interests in the equity of general partners of Funds constitute Collateral, but Borrower’s voting and other consensual rights and management and control-related interests in such equity are Excluded Assets.

Conformed Through FourthFifth Amendment
Annex A
This MULTI-DRAW TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated March 24, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), between JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., successor-in-interest by purchase of the line of credit made pursuant to the terms of the Agreement from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver for First Republic Bank, San Francisco, CA (“Lender”) and HAMILTON LANE ADVISORS, L.L.C., a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“Borrower”) provides the terms on which Lender will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Lender. The parties agree as follows:
1.    ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
1.1    Subject to Section 1.2, accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP and calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.
1.2    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the date of this Agreement, there shall be a change in GAAP that would affect the calculation of any amounts included in any covenants or other provisions of this Agreement, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to revise the covenant or other provision to give effect to the original intent of the parties and, until such amendment is effected, the calculation shall be based on GAAP as in effect prior to the change in GAAP and the Borrower shall provide the Lender with a reconciliation of the differences.
2.    LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1    Promise to Pay.
    Borrower promises to pay Lender the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

2.1.1 Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) on the Effective Date the Lender shall advance $0 (the “Initial Advance”) to Borrower and (ii) from the date hereof through the Conversion Date, Borrower may request additional advances (each, an “Additional Advance” and, collectively and with the Initial Advance, the “Advances”). The Initial Advance and each Additional Advance shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) $100,000,000 in the aggregate and (ii) the Term Loan Availability Amount (“Facility III”). After repayment, no Advance may be reborrowed. Borrower shall make interest-only payments from the date of each Advance through, but excluding, July 1, 2025 (the “Amortization Date”). Beginning with the payment due on the Amortization Date, Borrower shall repay the Advances (i) on the first calendar day of each calendar quarter in installments of principal as set forth in Schedule II hereof plus (ii) monthly payments of accrued interest. Unless the notes issued and sold pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Notes”) have been refinanced, repaid or terminated, all unpaid principal and interest on each Advance shall be due on the earlier of (i) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the earlier of the date the Notes (a) mature, (b) are repaid pursuant to Section 8.8 of the Initial Note Purchase Agreement or the corresponding provision of any Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement, or (c) are redeemed pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Initial Note Purchase Agreement or the corresponding provision of any Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement (a “Termination Event”) or (ii) April 1, 2030 (the “Term Maturity Date”).
To obtain an Advance, Borrower shall notify Lender by delivering to Lender the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B by facsimile or electronic mail in portable document format (PDF) by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day before the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Lender will credit Advances to the Auto Debit Account (as defined in Section 2.2(d)). Lender may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Designated Representative or his or her designee. Each request by Borrower for an Advance shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower to Lender that, after giving effect to each Advance, the aggregate outstanding amount of all Advances will not exceed the lesser of (i) $100,000,000 and (ii) the Term Loan Availability Amount. (the “Term Loan Line”).

LOAN NO.: 210690058-21579602
FAC ID: 202726510 / UCN: 090005620000


2.2    Interest Rate, Payments.
(a)    Interest Rate. The Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at 3.50% per annum.
(b)    Default Rate. After maturity or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice from the Lender (which notice may be retroactive to the date of the Event of Default or maturity), principal Lender Obligations accrue interest at 5% above the rate effective on the maturity date or on the date of the Event of Default, as applicable.
(c)    Interest Payments. Interest due on the Advances is payable in arrears on the 10th calendar day of each month. After an Event of Default, Lender may debit the Auto Debit Account (as defined in Section 2.2(d)) for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Lender. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day.
(d)     Automatic Payment Authorization. Borrower authorizes Lender to make automatic deductions (“Auto Debit”) from the following deposit account (the “Auto Debit Account”) maintained by Borrower at Lender’s offices in order to pay, when and as due, all installment payments of interest, and/or principal, renewal, modification or other fees or payments (a “Payment”) that Borrower is required or obligated to pay Lender under the Loan Documents provided, that Lender shall notify Borrower of any amounts automatically deducted from the Auto Debit Account (which notice may be delivered concurrently with any Auto Debit), and provided, further, that no Auto Debit shall be effected for any fees or payments that are not scheduled unless Borrower shall have received, prior to the making of the Auto Debit, a written invoice, which may be delivered via email, detailing the fees or payments that are due:
Account No:    [***]
Without limiting any of the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if Borrower defaults in its obligation to make a Payment because the collected funds in the Auto Debit Account are insufficient to make such Payment in full on the date that such Payment is due, then Borrower shall be responsible for all late payment charges and other consequences of such default by Borrower under the terms of the Loan Documents.
(i)    Revocation of Authorization. Subject to the Section immediately following this Section, this authorization shall continue in full force and effect until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the date on which Lender actually receives written notice from Borrower expressly revoking the authority granted to the Lender to charge the Auto Debit Account for Payments in connection with the Advances. No such revocation by Borrower shall in any way release Borrower from or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, including Borrower’s obligations to continue to make all Payments required under the terms of the Loan Documents.
(ii)    Termination by Lender. The Lender, at its option and in its discretion, reserves the right to terminate the arrangement for Auto Debit pursuant to this Section at any time effective upon prior written notice of such election (a “Termination Notice”) given by Lender to Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender may elect to give a Termination Notice to Borrower if Borrower fails to comply with any of the Lender’s rules, regulations, or policies relating to the Auto Debit Account, including requirements regarding minimum balance, service charges, overdrafts, insufficient funds, uncollected funds, returned items, and limitations on withdrawals.
(iii)    Increase in Interest Rate Upon Termination of Auto Debit. The date on which the arrangement for Auto Debit for the Auto Debit Account is terminated at the election of the Borrower is referred to as the “Auto Debit Termination Date”. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender would not have been willing to make the Advances at the interest rate or interest rates contained in the Loan Documents in the
2
LOAN NO.: 210690058-21579602
FAC ID: 202726510 / UCN: 090005620000


absence of the arrangement for Auto Debit from the Auto Debit Account pursuant to this authorization. Therefore, if there is a termination resulting from Borrower’s revocation of the Auto Debit arrangement, effective on the first due date of a Payment following the Auto Debit Termination Date, Lender, at its option and in its discretion, shall have the right to increase the interest rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Documents to a rate which is equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum (the “Percentage Rate Increase”) above the otherwise applicable interest rate from time to time under the terms of the Loan Documents.
(e)    Late Payments. If any installment of interest is not paid within 10 Business Days after the date on which it is due, Borrower shall immediately pay a late charge equal to 5% of such installment to Lender to compensate the Lender for administrative costs and expenses incurred in connection with such late payment. Borrower agrees that the actual damages suffered by Lender because of any late installment payment are extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, and the late charge described in this Section represents a reasonable attempt to fix such damages under the circumstances existing at the time this Agreement is executed. Lender’s acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement and shall not affect Lender’s right to enforce any of its rights and remedies against any Person liable for payment of this Agreement.
2.3    Fees. Borrower will pay:
(a)    Facility III Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of $[***] on the Effective Date;
(b)    Unused Fee. Until the Conversion Date, a per annum fee equal to 0.25% of the difference between the Term Loan Line and the average outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Line (less any amount of the Term Loan Line that was previously drawn and repaid and not available to be reborrowed) during the applicable calendar quarter, which fee shall accrue through the end of each calendar quarter and shall be payable on the 10th of each January, April, July and October and shall be nonrefundable. Such fee shall be computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed; and
(c)    Lender Expenses. Upon demand by Lender, all Lender Expenses reasonably incurred after the Effective Date.
2.4    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c)    Tax Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.4) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

LOAN NO.: 210690058-21579602
FAC ID: 202726510 / UCN: 090005620000


(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 2.4, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e)    Status of Lender. If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than IRS Form W-9) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.4), it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.4(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.4 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Lender, at its option, may apply all payments made under this Agreement or other Loan Documents to principal, interest, fees and other Lender Expenses in such order and amounts as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. The remedies of Lender, as provided herein, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any delay by Lender in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence, and no waiver is effective unless signed by Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency, and Lender is not required to foreclose on any Collateral. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which Borrower is liable.

9.3    Management Fees. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may: (i) request payment of the Management Fees or Incentive Fees in accordance with the Management Agreements and Charter Documents and enforce the obligation of any Person to pay Management Fees or Incentive Fees; and (ii) collect all Management Fees or Incentive Fees owed under any of the Management Agreements or Charter Documents. Lender may enforce such obligations and collect such amounts in its own name or that of Borrower or any Person with a right to effect such enforcement and collection directly from the parties obligated thereon and to apply the proceeds to the Lender Obligations.
9.4    Power of Attorney. Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and for the period it continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) demand and collect Management Fees or Incentive Fees, and enforce any of Borrower’s rights under the Management Agreements and Charter Documents; (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about any accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Lender may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest

Section 1(c) of the Lanham Act with respect thereto, solely to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of any registration that issues from such intent-to-use application under applicable federal law; (h) those assets as to which the Lender and Borrower reasonably agree in writing that the cost of obtaining such a security interest or perfection thereof is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lender of the security to be afforded thereby; (i) capital assets subject to capital leases or purchase money liens, in each case to the extent (x) such capital lease or purchase money lien is permitted hereunder and (y) a lien on such capital assets is prohibited by the documents providing for the capital lease or purchase money lien; (j) payroll accounts and escrow accounts; or (k) assets pledged or sold pursuant to, or in connection with, a Repoan Approved Warehouse Facility.

Third Amendment to Multi-Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement

CONFORMED THROUGH SECONDTHIRD AMENDMENT


Annex A
This MULTI-DRAW TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated October 20, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), between JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., successor-in-interest by purchase of the line of credit made pursuant to the terms of the Agreement from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver for First Republic Bank, San Francisco, CA (“Lender”) and HAMILTON LANE ADVISORS, L.L.C., a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“Borrower”) provides the terms on which Lender will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Lender. The parties agree as follows:
1.    ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
1.1    Subject to Section 1.2, accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP and calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13.
1.2    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the date of this Agreement, there shall be a change in GAAP that would affect the calculation of any amounts included in any covenants or other provisions of this Agreement, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to revise the covenant or other provision to give effect to the original intent of the parties and, until such amendment is effected, the calculation shall be based on GAAP as in effect prior to the change in GAAP and the Borrower shall provide the Lender with a reconciliation of the differences.
2.    LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1    Promise to Pay.
    Borrower promises to pay Lender the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

2.1.1     Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) on the Effective Date the Lender shall advance $0 (the “Initial Advance”) to Borrower and (ii) from the date hereof through the Conversion Date, Borrower may request additional advances (each, an “Additional Advance” and, collectively and with the Initial Advance, the “Advances”). The Initial Advance and each Additional Advance shall not exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate (“Facility IV”). After repayment, no Advance may be reborrowed. Borrower shall make interest-only payments from the date of each Advance through the Conversion Date. For any Advances made the Second Amendment Effective Date, Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal balance of all Advances as of the Conversion Date (i) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter beginning on January 1, 2028, in equal installments of principal through the Term Maturity Date (defined below) as set forth in Schedule II hereof plus (ii) monthly payments of accrued interest. Unless the notes issued and sold pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Notes”) have been refinanced, repaid or terminated, all unpaid principal and interest on each Advance shall be due on the earlier of (i) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the earlier of the date the Notes (a) mature, (b) are repaid pursuant to Section 8.8 of the Initial Note Purchase Agreement or the corresponding provision of any Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement, or (c) are redeemed pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Initial Note Purchase Agreement or the corresponding provision of any Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement (a “Termination Event”) or (ii) October 1, 2029 (the “Term Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any proceeds received by the Borrower pursuant to a Subsequent Private Placement shall be used to prepay any outstanding Advances under Facility IV within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such proceeds. If any excess proceeds remain after such prepayment, the amount in clause (i) of the definition of Term Loan Line in the following paragraph shall be reduced by an amount equal to such excess.

FAC ID: 202731614
UCN: 090005620000


To obtain an Advance, Borrower shall notify Lender by delivering to Lender the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B by facsimile or electronic mail in portable document format (PDF) by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day before the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Lender will credit Advances to the Auto Debit Account (as defined in Section 2.2(d)). Lender may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Designated Representative or his or her designee. Each request by Borrower for an Advance shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower to Lender that, after giving effect to each Advance, the aggregate outstanding amount of all Advances will not exceed the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 and (ii) the Term Loan Availability Amount (the “Term Loan Line”).
2.2    Interest Rate, Payments.
(a)    Interest Rate. The Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate minus 1.35% and (b) 3.00%.
(b)    Default Rate. After maturity or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice from the Lender (which notice may be retroactive to the date of the Event of Default or maturity), principal Lender Obligations accrue interest at 5% above the rate effective on the maturity date or on the date of the Event of Default, as applicable.
(c)    Interest Payments. Interest due on the Advances accrues through the last day of each calendar month and is payable on the tenth (10th) day of the immediately following month. After an Event of Default, Lender may debit the Auto Debit Account (as defined in Section 2.2(d)) for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Lender. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day.
(d)     Automatic Payment Authorization. Borrower authorizes Lender to make automatic deductions (“Auto Debit”) from the following deposit account (the “Auto Debit Account”) maintained by Borrower at Lender’s offices in order to pay, when and as due, all installment payments of interest, and/or principal, renewal, modification or other fees or payments (a “Payment”) that Borrower is required or obligated to pay Lender under the Loan Documents provided, that Lender shall notify Borrower of any amounts automatically deducted from the Auto Debit Account (which notice may be delivered concurrently with any Auto Debit), and provided, further, that no Auto Debit shall be effected for any fees or payments that are not scheduled unless Borrower shall have received, prior to the making of the Auto Debit, a written invoice, which may be delivered via email, detailing the fees or payments that are due:
Account No:    [***]
Without limiting any of the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if Borrower defaults in its obligation to make a Payment because the collected funds in the Auto Debit Account are insufficient to make such Payment in full on the date that such Payment is due, then Borrower shall be responsible for all late payment charges and other consequences of such default by Borrower under the terms of the Loan Documents.
(i)    Revocation of Authorization. Subject to the Section immediately following this Section, this authorization shall continue in full force and effect until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the date on which Lender actually receives written notice from Borrower expressly revoking the authority granted to the Lender to charge the Auto Debit Account for Payments in connection with the Advances. No such revocation by Borrower shall in any way release Borrower from or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, including Borrower’s obligations to continue to make all Payments required under the terms of the Loan Documents.
2



(ii)    Termination by Lender. The Lender, at its option and in its discretion, reserves the right to terminate the arrangement for Auto Debit pursuant to this Section at any time effective upon prior written notice of such election (a “Termination Notice”) given by Lender to Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender may elect to give a Termination Notice to Borrower if Borrower fails to comply with any of the Lender’s rules, regulations, or policies relating to the Auto Debit Account, including requirements regarding minimum balance, service charges, overdrafts, insufficient funds, uncollected funds, returned items, and limitations on withdrawals.
(iii)    Increase in Interest Rate Upon Termination of Auto Debit. The date on which the arrangement for Auto Debit for the Auto Debit Account is terminated at the election of the Borrower is referred to as the “Auto Debit Termination Date”. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender would not have been willing to make the Advances at the interest rate or interest rates contained in the Loan Documents in the absence of the arrangement for Auto Debit from the Auto Debit Account pursuant to this authorization. Therefore, if there is a termination resulting from Borrower’s revocation of the Auto Debit arrangement, effective on the first due date of a Payment following the Auto Debit Termination Date, Lender, at its option and in its discretion, shall have the right to increase the interest rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Documents to a rate which is equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum (the “Percentage Rate Increase”) above the otherwise applicable interest rate from time to time under the terms of the Loan Documents.
(e)    Late Payments. If any installment of interest is not paid within 10 Business Days after the date on which it is due, Borrower shall immediately pay a late charge equal to 5% of such installment to Lender to compensate the Lender for administrative costs and expenses incurred in connection with such late payment. Borrower agrees that the actual damages suffered by Lender because of any late installment payment are extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, and the late charge described in this Section represents a reasonable attempt to fix such damages under the circumstances existing at the time this Agreement is executed. Lender’s acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement and shall not affect Lender’s right to enforce any of its rights and remedies against any Person liable for payment of this Agreement.
2.3    Fees. Borrower will pay:
(a)    Facility IV Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of $[***] on the Effective Date;
(b)    Unused Fee. Until the Conversion Date, a per annum fee equal to 0.40% of the difference between the Term Loan Line and the average outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Line (less any amount of the Term Loan Line that was previously drawn and repaid and not available to be reborrowed) during the applicable calendar quarter, which fee shall accrue through the end of each calendar quarter and shall be payable on the 10th of each January, April, July and October and shall be nonrefundable. Such fee shall be computed on a 365 day year for the actual number of days elapsed; and
(c)    Lender Expenses. Upon demand by Lender, all Lender Expenses reasonably incurred after the Effective Date.
2.4    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and
3



withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c)    Tax Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.4) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 2.4, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e)    Status of Lender. If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than IRS Form W-9) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.4), it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.4(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
4



(g)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.4 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
3.    CONDITIONS OF LOANS

Borrower has not changed its jurisdiction of formation or its organizational structure or type. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any material agreement to which or by which it is bound, except where such default would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
5.2    Charter Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), Borrower shall be permitted to enter into agreements containing customary anti-assignment provisions and restrictions required by applicable law to be contained in any investment advisory agreement of Borrower and any other restrictions under applicable law.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the following rights and powers and may, at its option, without notice of its election and without demand (except as provided herein or required by law), do any one or more of the following: (i) declare any or all of the Lender Obligations to be immediately due and payable; (ii) discontinue advancing money or extending credit under this Agreement or under any other document or agreement between Lender and Borrower; (iii) obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and, at the option of Lender, to collect, sell or dispose of the Collateral; or (iv) exercise any or all rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including without limitation the rights of a secured party under the Code. Lender, at its option, may apply all payments made under this Agreement or other Loan Documents to principal, interest, fees and other Lender Expenses in such order and amounts as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. The remedies of Lender, as provided herein, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any delay by Lender in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence, and no waiver is effective unless signed by Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency, and Lender is not required to foreclose on any Collateral. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which Borrower is liable.
9.2    Rights to Payment. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may: (i) in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, demand, collect, receive and give receipts for any and all money and other property due or to become due in connection with the Investment Interests, including without limitation, a demand on the other parties for payment of amounts arising thereunder provided, however, prior to making demand on any third parties, Lender shall provide written notice to the Borrower; and (ii) take possession of and endorse and collect any or all notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment relating to the Investment Interests or any other Collateral and withdraw and apply any amounts in any account of Borrower held with Lender (including, without limitation, the Designated Account) against the Lender Obligations.
9.3    Management Fees. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may: (i) request payment of the Management Fees or Incentive Fees in accordance with the Management Agreements and Charter Documents and enforce the obligation of any Person to pay Management Fees or Incentive Fees; and (ii) collect all Management Fees or Incentive Fees owed under any of the Management Agreements or Charter Documents. Lender may enforce such obligations and collect such amounts in its own name or that of Borrower or any Person with a right to effect such enforcement and collection directly from the parties obligated thereon and to apply the proceeds to the Lender Obligations.
9.4    Power of Attorney. Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and for the period it continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) demand and collect Management Fees or Incentive Fees, and enforce any of Borrower’s rights under the Management Agreements and Charter Documents; (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about any accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Lender may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Lender’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Lender Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide Advances terminates.

(c) any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) ; (d) for avoidance of doubt, equity interests, general partnership interests or assets of Funds, including any assets of a Fund held by Borrower or any assets of Borrower , to the extent the grant of a security interest therein would violate or otherwise result in a default under any organizational or governing document of any Fund or the general partner thereof;
