Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreement

On March 4, 2019, HMS Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), HMS Adviser LP and MSC Adviser I, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser" together with HMS Adviser LP, the “Advisers”) entered into a conditional income incentive fee waiver agreement (the “Fourth Quarter 2018 Conditional Income Fee Waiver Agreement”), pursuant to which, for the period from October 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Advisers would waive payments in respect of the “subordinated incentive fee on income,” as such term is defined in the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement, dated May 31, 2012, between the Company and HMS Adviser LP, upon the occurrence of any event that, in the Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waiver to be deemed necessary. The Fourth Quarter 2018 Conditional Income Fee Waiver Agreement may require the Company to repay previously waived reimbursement of payments by HMS Adviser LP of the Company's operating expenses (“Expense Support Payments”) and base management fees or incentive fees previously waived by the Advisers under certain circumstances. The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by the Company, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver. Thus, in any quarter where a surplus exists, that surplus will be available, subject to approval of the Company's board of directors, to reimburse waived fees and Expense Support Payments as follows:

1. First, to reimburse Expense Support Payments, beginning with the earliest expenses eligible for reimbursement; and
2. Second, to reimburse all waived fees, beginning with the earliest fees eligible for reimbursement.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Quarter 2018 Conditional Income Fee Waiver Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Quarter 2018 Conditional Income Fee Waiver Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report, and incorporated herein by reference.
