Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement
On April 15, 2015, HMS Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), HMS Adviser LP (the “HMS Adviser”), and MSC Adviser I, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fee Waiver Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement dated May 31, 2012 (as amended from time to time, the “Fee Waiver Agreement”) by and among the Company, HMS Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Fee Waiver Agreement allows HMS Adviser to waive base management and incentive fees otherwise payable to HMS Adviser under the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2012, by and between the Company and HMS Adviser upon the occurrence of any event, which in the HMS Adviser's sole discretion is deemed necessary (including, but neither limited to nor automatically triggered by, the Company’s estimate that a distribution declared and payable to its stockholders during the fee waiver period represents, or would represent when paid, a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Pursuant to the Fee Waiver Amendment, HMS Adviser has agreed to extend the term of the fee waiver through December 31, 2015. The Fee Waiver Amendment does not extend the term of the fee waiver with respect to the Sub-Adviser, whose waiver expired on December 31, 2013. HMS Adviser has no obligation to waive fees pursuant to the Fee Waiver Agreement after December 31, 2015, unless the fee waiver period is further extended.
The foregoing description of the Fee Waiver Amendment and the Fee Waiver Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fee Waiver Amendment, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.

Under the Reimbursement Amendment, reimbursement of Expense Support Payments made under the 2013 Expense Reimbursement Agreement shall be made in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Fee Waiver Amendment. All other terms of the 2013 Expense Reimbursement Agreement remain unchanged.
The foregoing description of the Reimbursement Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reimbursement Amendment, filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

All other terms of the 2014 Expense Reimbursement Agreement remain unchanged.
