Re: Waiver of Advisory Fees
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to extend the term of certain fee waivers among First Eagle Investment Management, LLC (the Adviser), First Eagle Alternative Credit, LLC (FEAC) and First Eagle Private Credit Fund (the Fund). The Adviser and the Fund are parties to the Investment Advisory Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2023 (as may be amended from time to time, the Advisory Agreement), pursuant to which the Fund is obligated to pay to the Adviser, among other things, a base management fee and an incentive fee (together with the base management fee, the Advisory Fees). FEAC and the Adviser are parties to the Subadvisory Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2023 (as may be amended from time to time, the Subadvisory Agreement), pursuant to which the Adviser is obligated to pay to FEAC, among other things, 50% of the Advisory Fees payable to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement (the Subadvisory Fees). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Advisory Agreement.
This letter confirms the temporary waiver: (i) by the Adviser of the Advisory Fees payable by the Fund and (ii) by FEAC of the Subadvisory Fees payable by the Adviser, in each case, for the period from the effective date of the Funds registration statement on Form N-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission through June 30, 2025 (the Waiver Period).
Amounts waived by the Adviser and FEAC pursuant to this letter are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser or FEAC, as applicable. Each of the Adviser and FEAC may discontinue its obligation to waive its compensation under this letter at any time prior to the end of the Waiver Period only with the written consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.
The Adviser and FEAC understand and intend that the Fund will rely on these undertakings in preparing and filing (as applicable) a prospectus and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in accruing the Funds expenses for purposes of calculating its net asset value per share and for other purposes as expressly permitted by the Adviser and/or FEAC.
