PREAMBLE WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to acquire from time to time certain Loans, together with certain related property, as more fully described in the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2026 (as amended, modified, restated, or supplemented from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”), by and among the Purchaser, as borrower, Stone Point Credit Income Adviser LLC, as collateral manager (the “ Collateral Manager ”), each of the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “ Lenders ”), Truist Bank, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “ Administrative Agent ”) and as swingline lender, Truist Securities, Inc., as lead arranger and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “ Collateral Agent ”) and as collateral administrator. WHEREAS , it is a condition to the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Loans from the Seller that the Seller make certain representations, warranties and covenants regarding all Loans and related property sold and transferred pursuant to this Agreement for the benefit of the Purchaser; and WHEREAS , the Purchaser may from time to time acquire certain Loans from the Seller pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE , based upon the above recitals, the mutual premises and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS Section 1.1 Definitions .

In addition, as used herein, the following defined terms, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the following meanings: “ Conveyed Assets ”: Collectively, the Loan Assets. “ Loan ”: Any commercial loan (including any Participation Interest therein), note or security (i) which is sourced or originated by the Seller or any of its Affiliates and which the Purchaser acquires or (ii) which the Purchaser originates or acquires from a third party in the ordinary course of its business. 1 “ Loan Assets ”: Any Loan and related assets acquired by the Purchaser from the Seller, pursuant to Section 2.1(a) , which assets shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise notified at the time of the sale, include the Seller’s right, title and interest in the following: (i) the Loans listed in the related Loan Schedule, all payments paid in respect thereof and all monies due, to become due or paid in respect thereof accruing on and after the applicable Transfer Date and all insurance proceeds, liquidation proceeds and other proceeds and recoveries thereon, in each case as they arise after the applicable Transfer Date; (ii) all security interests and Liens and Related Property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment by Obligors under such Loans; (iii) all guaranties, indemnities and warranties, and other agreements or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Loans; (iv) all collections and records (including computer records) with respect to the foregoing; (v) all Related Documents relating to the applicable loan files; and (vi) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits of any and all of the foregoing, including but not limited to, all accounts, cash and currency, chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, tangible chattel paper, copyrights, copyright licenses, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles, instruments, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, inventory, investment property, letter of credit rights, software, supporting obligations, accessions, and other property consisting of, arising out of, or related to the foregoing, but excluding any Excluded Amount with respect thereto. “ Loan Schedule ”: The schedule listing each Loan owned or scheduled to be acquired by the Purchaser and each Related Document in respect of each such Loan. “ Participation Interest ”: The meaning set forth in Section 2.5(a) . “ Purchaser ”: The meaning set forth in the preamble. “ Related Documents ” means, with respect to any Loan, (i) the loan or credit agreement evidencing such Loan, (ii) the principal security agreement, and (iii) if the same can be obtained without undue expense or effort, all other material documents evidencing, securing, guarantying, governing or giving rise to such Loan. “ Related Property ”: With respect to any Loan, means the interest of the Obligor in any property or other assets designated and pledged or mortgaged as collateral to secure repayment of such Loan. “ Repurchase Date ”: The date as of which any Loan is repurchased or substituted by Seller pursuant to Section 5.1(c) . 2 “ Repurchase Price ”: On any date of determination with respect to any Warranty Collateral Loan, an amount at least equal to the Sale Agreement Purchase Price of such Warranty Collateral Loan, less all payments of Principal Proceeds received by the Purchaser in connection with such Warranty Collateral Loan since the date it became a Conveyed Asset, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such date of determination. “ Sale Agreement Purchase Price ”: With respect to any Loan purchased hereunder, an amount equal to the fair market value of such Loan as agreed between the Purchaser and the Seller. “ Seller ”: The meaning set forth in the preamble. “ Substitute Loan ”: The meaning set forth in the Credit Agreement. “ Transfer Date ”: The date of transfer of any Loan Assets hereunder. “ Underlying Note ”: One or more promissory notes executed by the applicable Obligor evidencing a Loan. “ Warranty Collateral Loan ”: The meaning specified in Section 5.1(c) . “ Warranty Event ”: The meaning specified in Section 5.1(c ). Section 1.2 Other Terms . The interpretive provisions contained in Section 1.02, Section 1.03, Section 1.04, Section 1.05 and Section 1.06 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein. ARTICLE II TRANSFER OF THE CONVEYED ASSETS Section 2.1 Transfer of the Conveyed Assets . (a) On each Transfer Date, in consideration of the payment of the aggregate Sale Agreement Purchase Price (whether in cash and/or in exchange for an increase in the value of Seller’s capital account in Purchaser by means of a contribution to capital), Seller will sell, contribute, transfer, assign and set over and otherwise convey to Purchaser and Purchaser will purchase from Seller, without recourse, all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Loans listed in the related Loan Schedule and the other Loan Assets related to such Loans. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that the Sale Agreement Purchase Price of each Loan equals the fair market value thereof and that the sale thereof is being made on an arm’s length basis and on terms no less favorable to the Purchaser and Seller than would be the case if Seller were not the sole member of the Purchaser. The Loan Assets will be acquired, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement and one or more assignment agreements pursuant to the applicable Related Documents having an effective date as specified in such assignment agreement without further amendment hereof. The Sale Agreement Purchase Price for each Loan Asset shall be paid by the Purchaser in a combination of (i) cash in immediately available funds and/or (ii) in exchange for an increase in the value of Seller’s capital account in Purchaser by means of a contribution to capital; provided that the Seller may elect to designate all or any portion of the Loan Asset being transferred by it to the Purchaser as a capital contribution to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, only the rights and obligations of the Seller as a lender under such Loan are sold and transferred thereby. The sale and transfer of any Conveyed Assets hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or assumption by the Purchaser or any assignee of the Purchaser (including the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties), of any obligation of the Seller as administrative agent, collateral agent or paying agent under any Loan. The exchange of the Loan Assets for the payment of the Sale Agreement Purchase Price is intended by the Seller and the Purchaser to be a contemporaneous exchange, and neither the Seller nor the Purchaser has the right to unilaterally alter, subsequent to the transfer, the consideration given to the Seller for any Loan Asset. 3 (b) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale of any Conveyed Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Seller; it being understood that the Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of which obligations are limited so as not to constitute recourse to the Seller for the credit risk of the Obligors. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agrees that the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller set forth herein will run to and be for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties is a third party beneficiary solely with respect to such representations, warranties and covenants. (c) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser intends and agrees that (i) the sale, conveyance and transfer of the Conveyed Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement in each and every case is intended to be, is and shall be treated for all purposes (other than tax and consolidated accounting purposes) as, an absolute sale, conveyance and transfer of ownership of the applicable Conveyed Assets (free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens) rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a financing, a debt or any other obligation and (ii) such Conveyed Assets shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a filing of a bankruptcy petition or other action by or against the Seller under any Insolvency Law; provided that as a result of the consolidation required by GAAP, the transfers of the Conveyed Assets may be reflected as a financing by the Seller in its consolidated financial statements. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that any such sale, conveyance or transfer be deemed a pledge of any Conveyed Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a financing, a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that notwithstanding such intent and agreement, any such Conveyed Assets are held to continue to be the property of the Seller, then the parties hereto agree that the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under such Conveyed Assets (whether now existing or hereafter created) and all proceeds thereof. For such purposes, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the UCC, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made by the Purchaser to the Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price paid to the Seller together with such other obligations of the Seller as may arise hereunder in favor of the Purchaser. The Seller intends to account for the conveyance of the Loan Assets to Purchaser as a financing for consolidated accounting purposes and for tax purposes and as a sale for legal purposes. 4 (d) If any such transfer of Conveyed Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser is deemed to be the mere granting of a security interest to secure a financing, the Purchaser, to secure the Purchaser’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its security interest in (i) all of the Conveyed Assets pledged to the Purchaser by the Seller and (ii) all proceeds thereof. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file or cause to be filed, and the Purchaser shall file or shall cause to be filed, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as are necessary or advisable to perfect the precautionary security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(c) , a precautionary UCC-1 financing statement and any amendments thereto and continuation statements thereto as may be necessary or advisable naming the Seller as debtor, the Purchaser as secured party and the Collateral Agent as assignee, listing all of the Conveyed Assets pledged hereunder as collateral thereunder. Section 2.2 Conveyance of Loan Assets . As and when permitted by the Credit Agreement and subject to this Section 2.2 and the satisfaction of the conditions imposed under the Credit Agreement with respect to the acquisition of Loan Assets, the Seller may at its option (but shall not be obligated to), as the Seller may agree with the Purchaser, sell, convey and transfer to the Purchaser all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Loan Assets identified in the related assignment agreement, in each and every case without recourse other than as expressly provided herein. Section 2.3 Direct Assignments . The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any transfer document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any Underlying Note, any chain of endorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with the transfer of a Loan in accordance with the terms of Related Documents may reflect that the Seller (or any third party from whom the Seller or the Purchaser may purchase a Loan) is assigning such Loan directly to the Purchaser. Nothing in any such transfer document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any Underlying Note, nothing in such chain of endorsement) shall be deemed to impair the sales, conveyances and transfers of the Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Section 2.4 Delivery of Documents . With respect to each Loan transferred hereunder as part of the Conveyed Assets, within the time period required for delivery thereof under the Credit Agreement, the Seller, on behalf of the Purchaser and the Collateral Manager, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent each of the applicable Related Documents with respect to such Loan to the extent required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement. Section 2.5 Participation Interests . (a) With respect to any Loan transferred hereunder as part of the Conveyed Assets, pending the receipt of any required consents to, and the effectiveness of, the assignment of such Loan from the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the applicable Related Document, the Seller hereby sells to the Purchaser an undivided 100% participation in such Loan and the Related Property (each, a “ Participation Interest ”). The Participation Interests will not include any rights that are not permitted to be participated pursuant to the terms of the related Related Document. Such sale and assignment of the Participation Interests shall constitute an absolute sale of each such Participation Interest. Each of the Participation Interests has the following characteristics: (i) the Participation Interest represents an undivided participation interest in 100% of the underlying Loan and its proceeds (including Collections), and (ii) the Participation Interest represents a pass-through of all of the payments made on the Loan (including the Collections) and will last for the same length of time as such Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, each Participation Interest will terminate automatically upon the settlement of the assignment of the underlying Loan. 5 (b) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Transfer Date therefor, cause the Purchaser to become a lender of record under the Related Document with respect to the Seller’s interest in the applicable Loan and take such action as shall be mutually agreeable in connection therewith and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Related Document and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. (c) With respect to each Participation Interest granted hereunder, the Seller shall direct the underlying administrative agent or obligor for each such Loan, as applicable, to send all Collections in respect of such Loan directly to the Collection Account. (d) Pending settlement of the assignment of a Loan in accordance with the applicable Related Document, the Seller shall comply with any written instructions provided to the Seller by or on behalf of the Purchaser with respect to voting rights to be exercised by holders of the applicable Loan, other than with respect to any voting rights that are not permitted to be participated pursuant to the terms of the applicable Related Document. ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES The Seller makes, and upon each transfer of Loan Assets is deemed to make, the representations and warranties (including with respect to any Loan sourced or originated by the Seller which for administrative convenience is assigned directly to the Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.4 ) set forth in Section 3.1 , on which the Purchaser will rely in acquiring any Loan Assets on any applicable Transfer Date, and on which, in each case, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled to rely as an express third party beneficiary as a condition of the Purchaser entering into the Facility Documents to which it is a party.

The Purchaser hereby confirms and agrees that, with respect to each Warranty Collateral Loan sold or exchanged hereunder, from and after the applicable Repurchase Date, the Purchaser shall have no further right, title or interest in such Warranty Collateral Loan or the related Conveyed Assets and that receipt of the Repurchase Price or a Substitute Loan shall be the sole remedy available to the Purchaser with respect to the breaches giving rise to classification of such Loan as a Warranty Collateral Loan.
