Section 2.01 Variable
Funding Note and Swingline Note and Advances and Swingline Advances.
(a) Variable
Funding Note and Swingline Note. The Borrower shall, on the date hereof (and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter
set forth), deliver, to each Lender Agent, to the extent requested by such Lender Agent at the address set forth on the signature
pages of this Agreement, and on the effective date of any Joinder Supplement, to each additional Lender Agent, to the extent requested
by such additional Lender Agent at the address set forth in the applicable Joinder Supplement, a duly executed variable funding
note (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Variable Funding Note”), in substantially
the form of Exhibit I, in an aggregate face amount equal to the applicable Lender’s Commitment as of the date hereof
or the effective date of any Joinder Supplement, as applicable, and otherwise duly completed. Interest shall accrue on the Variable
Funding Note, and the Variable Funding Note shall be payable, as described herein. The Borrower shall, on the date hereof (and
on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth), deliver to the Swingline Lender, at the address set forth on
the signature pages of this Agreement, a duly executed Swingline Note, dated as of the date of this Agreement, in a face amount
equal to the Swingline Commitment as of the Amended and Restated Closing Date and otherwise duly completed.
(b) Advances
and Swingline Advances. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from time to time from the Original Closing Date
until the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make Advances hereunder, secured by the Collateral
Portfolio, (x) to the Borrower for the purpose of purchasing Eligible Loan Assets or (y) to the Unfunded Exposure Account in an
amount up to the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount. Other than pursuant to Section 2.02(f), under no circumstances shall
any Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral Portfolio
of the Eligible Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, (i) an Event of Default has occurred
or would result therefrom or an Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or (ii) the aggregate Advances Outstanding
would exceed the Borrowing Base. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (other than pursuant to Section 2.02(f)),
no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Borrower (or to the Unfunded Exposure Account, if applicable) with aggregate funds
in connection with an Advance that would exceed such Lender’s unused Commitment then in effect. On the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, from time to time from the Amended and Restated Closing Date until the end of the Reinvestment Period, the
Borrower may request the Swingline Lender make Swingline Advances to the Borrower under the Swingline Note, secured by the Collateral
Portfolio; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not fund any Swingline Advance if, after giving effect to the amount
of the Swingline Advance requested, the Advances Outstanding would exceed the Borrowing Base. Advances to be made for the purpose
of refunding Swingline Advances shall be made by the Lenders as provided in Section 2.22.
(c) Notations
on Variable Funding Note. Each Lender Agent is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the Variable Funding Note
with respect to each Conduit Lender and each Institutional Lender a notation (which may be computer generated) with respect to
each Advance under the Variable Funding Note made by the applicable Lender of: (i) the date and principal amount thereof, and (ii)
each repayment of principal thereof, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the
information so recorded. The failure of any Lender Agent to make any such notation on the schedule attached to any Variable Funding
Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with their respective
terms as set forth herein.
Section 2.02 Procedure
for Advances and Swingline Advances.
(a) During
the Reinvestment Period, the Lenders will make Advances (including any Swingline Advances) on any Business Day at the request of
the Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and subject to
the provisions of Article III hereof.
(b) Each
Advance shall be made on irrevocable written notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward any Borrowing
Notice requesting a Swingline Advance to the Swingline Bank) and each Lender Agent, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the
Collateral Custodian, in the form of a Notice of Borrowing no later than (i) with respect to Advances (other than Swingline Advances),
no later than 12:00 noon on the proposed Advance Date (or such shorter period as agreed to from time to time by the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders) and (ii) with respect to Swingline Advances, no later than 3:00 p.m. on the proposed Advance Date.
Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable. If any Notice of Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent after (x) 12:00
noon, in the case of Advance (other than Swingline Advances), or (y) 3:00 p.m., in the case of a Swingline Advance, in each case,
on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, such Borrowing Notice shall be deemed to be received by the Administrative
Agent at 9:00 a.m. on the next following Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate
(updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds
thereof) and the current Loan Tape, and shall specify:
(i) the
aggregate amount of such Advance; provided that, except with respect to an Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the
amount of such Advance must be at least equal to $500,000;
(ii) the
proposed date of such Advance;
(iii) a
representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been satisfied;
(iv) the
amount of cash that will be funded by the Transferor into the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with any Revolving Loan Asset
or Delayed Draw Loan Asset funded by such Advance, if applicable; and
(v) whether
such Advance should be remitted to the Borrower or the Unfunded Exposure Account.
On the requested date of each Advance (other
than a Swingline Advance), upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall, in
accordance with instructions received by the Borrower, either (i) make available to the Borrower, in same day funds, an amount
equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, by payment into the account which the Borrower has designated in writing
or (ii) remit in same day funds an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance into the Unfunded Exposure
Account, as applicable; provided that, with respect to an Advance funded pursuant to Section 2.02(f), each Lender
shall remit the Advance equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall in same day funds
to the Unfunded Exposure Account. In the case of a Swingline Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth
in Article III, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Borrower in same day funds by wire transfer to the account
designated by Borrower an amount equal to the least of (i) the amount requested by the Borrower for such Swingline Advance, (ii)
the positive difference between (A) the Swingline Commitment then in effect and (B) the aggregate outstanding Swingline Advances
as of such date, (iii) the maximum amount that, after taking into account the proposed use of the proceeds of such Swingline Advance,
could be advanced to the Borrower hereunder without causing the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base and (iv) the
unused Commitment at such time of Wells Fargo as Lender.
(c) The
Advances shall bear interest at the Yield Rate.
(d) Subject
to Section 2.18 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein (including, without limitation,
the payment of the Make-Whole Premium, as applicable), the Borrower may borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Advances without any
penalty, fee or premium on and after the Original Closing Date and prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period.
(e) A
determination by any Institutional Lender or Liquidity Bank of the existence of any Eurodollar Disruption Event (any such determination
to be communicated to the Borrower by written notice from the Administrative Agent promptly after the Administrative Agent learns
of such event), or of the effect of any Eurodollar Disruption Event on its making or maintaining Advances at LIBOR, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than the occurrence
of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Borrower) or the existence of an Unmatured Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency),
if, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or on the last day of the Reinvestment Period, the amount on deposit in the Unfunded
Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall request an Advance in the amount of such
shortfall (the “Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall”). Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (which shall
specify the account details of the Unfunded Exposure Account where the funds will be made available), each Lender shall fund its
Pro Rata Share of such Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.02(b), notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3.02) other than an Event of Default related to a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Borrower.
(g) The
obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender and the failure
of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder.
Section 2.03 Determination
of Yield. The Swingline Lender and each applicable Lender Agent shall determine the Yield for its portion of the Advances (including
unpaid Yield related thereto, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date
for the related Remittance Period and shall advise the Servicer thereof on or prior to the third Business Day prior to such Payment
Date.
Section 2.04 Remittance
Procedures. The Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent by delivery of the Servicing Report and, if the Servicer fails
to do so, the Administrative Agent may instruct the Collateral Agent, to apply funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts as described

Agent shall instruct the Collateral Agent to apply funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts as described in this Section
2.04.

by the Borrower or the Servicer under Section 2.04 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, or upon their respective instructions,
it shall so notify the Borrower, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent in writing and in reasonable detail to identify the specific

or the Account Bank receives instructions from the Servicer or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank, as applicable, shall rely on and follow the instructions given
by the Administrative Agent.

Pledge such Loan Asset, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect in writing to extend the five Business
Day grace period set forth in this Section 2.06 for up to seven Business Days.

Loan Assets) sold pursuant to Section 2.07(b) to the Transferor or an Affiliate, substituted pursuant to Section 2.07(a)
or released pursuant to a Lien Release Dividend pursuant to Section 2.07(g) shall not exceed 10% of the Net Purchased Loan
Balance; provided that any Loan Asset sold to an Existing Golub BDC CLO shall be excluded from the numerator in the foregoing
threshold so long as such Loan Asset is sold for fair market value (determined as required by, and in accordance with, the 1940
Act and any orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued to Golub).

all authorizations, consents and approvals required to effectuate the Lien Release Dividend;
(vi) A
portion of a Loan Asset may be transferred pursuant to a Lien Release Dividend; provided that (A) such transfer does not
have an adverse effect on the portion of such Loan Asset remaining as a part of the Collateral Portfolio, any other aspect of the
Collateral Portfolio, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party and (B) a new promissory
note (other than with respect to a Noteless Loan Asset) for the portion of the Loan Asset remaining as a part of the Collateral

Section 2.08 Payments
and Computations, Etc.
(a) All
amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms
hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds to the Collection
Account or such other account as is designated by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall,
to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due to any of the
Secured Parties hereunder at 4.0% per annum above the Base Rate (other than with respect to any Advances Outstanding, which shall
accrue at the Yield Rate), payable on demand, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after
as before judgment); provided, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable
Law. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Available Collections if at any time such
distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. All computations
of Yield and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the
first but excluding the last day) elapsed, other than calculations with respect to the Base Rate, which shall be based on a year
consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.
(b) Whenever
any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Yield or any fee payable
hereunder, as the case may be.
(c) If
any Advance requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 is not for any reason whatsoever, except as a result of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or failure to fund such Advance on the part of, the Lenders, made or effectuated, as
the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred
by such Lender related thereto, including, without limitation, any loss (including cost of funds and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses),
cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund
Advances or maintain the Advances. Any such Lender shall provide to the Borrower documentation setting forth the amounts of any
loss, cost or expense referred to in the previous sentence, such documentation to be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.09 Non-Usage
Fee.
The Borrower shall
pay, in accordance with Section 2.04, pro rata to each Lender (either directly or through the applicable Lender Agent),
a non-usage fee (the “Non-Usage Fee”) payable in arrears for each Remittance Period, equal to the sum of the
products for each day during such Remittance Period of (i) one divided by 360, (ii) the applicable Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined
below), and (iii) the aggregate Commitments minus the Advances Outstanding (other than Swingline Advances) on such day (such amount,
the “Unused Portion”). The Non-Usage Fee Rate (the “Non-Usage Fee Rate”) shall be equal to,
(i) 0.50% on any Unused Portion up to or equal to the first $60,000,000 of such Unused Portion and (ii) 2.00% on any Unused Portion
in excess of the first $60,000,000.
Section 2.10 Increased
Costs; Capital Adequacy.
(a) If,
due to either (i) the introduction of or any change following the Original Closing Date (including, without limitation, any change
by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation, administration or application following
the Original Closing Date of any Applicable Law (including, without limitation, any law or regulation resulting in any interest
payments paid to any Lender under this Agreement being subject to any Tax, except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Lender),
in each case whether foreign or domestic or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request following the Original Closing Date
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in
the cost to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank or any Affiliate, participant, successor
or assign thereof (each of which shall be an “Affected Party”) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
any Advance (or any reduction of the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest, fee, compensation or otherwise) to
any Affected Party hereunder), as the case may be, or there shall be any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable
by an Affected Party under this Agreement, under any other Transaction Document or any Liquidity Agreement, the Borrower shall,
from time to time, after written demand by the Administrative Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), on behalf of such Affected Party, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of
such Affected Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such increased costs or reduced payments
within 10 days after such demand; provided, that the amounts payable under this Section 2.10 shall be without duplication
of amounts payable under Section 2.11 and shall not include any Excluded Taxes.
(b) If
either (i) the introduction of or any change following the Original Closing Date in or in the interpretation, administration or
application following the Original Closing Date of any law, guideline, rule or regulation, directive or request or (ii) the compliance
by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request following the Original Closing Date, from
any central bank, any Governmental Authority or agency, including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
capital of any Affected Party, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or any related document or arising in connection herewith
or therewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed by such Affected
Party to be material, then, from time to time, after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent on behalf of such
Affected Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, any
increase in cost and/or reduction in Yield with respect to any Affected Party caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments
due to FAS 166, 167 and subsequent statements and interpretations shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party
may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.10.
(c) If
as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10,
any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement
or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder,
then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount
or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.
(d) In
determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.10, shall submit
to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of such additional or increased
costs, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Failure
or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver
of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation.
(f) If
at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any additional amounts in accordance with this Section 2.10,
then the Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(b)
but without the payment of any Make-Whole Premium); provided that such option to terminate shall in no event relieve the
Borrower of paying any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.10 in accordance with the terms hereof.
(g) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by
the Bank of International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the
United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel II or Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to
have been introduced after the Original Closing Date, thereby constituting a change for which a claim for increased costs or additional
amounts may be made hereunder with respect to the Affected Parties, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
Section 2.11 Taxes.
(a) All
payments made by an Obligor in respect of a Loan Asset and all payments made by the Borrower or made by the Servicer on behalf
of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any
Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Indemnified Party, then the amount payable to such
Person will be increased (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment
made under this Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase)
is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made. The foregoing obligation
to pay Additional Amounts with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or Servicer under this Agreement will not,
however, apply with respect to Taxes imposed on or measured by net income or franchise Taxes imposed on any Indemnified Party by
a taxing jurisdiction in which any such Person is organized, conducts business or is paying Taxes (as the case may be) (“Excluded
Taxes”).
(b) The
Borrower will indemnify, from funds available to it pursuant to Section 2.04 (and to the extent the funds available for
indemnification provided by the Borrower is insufficient the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, will indemnify) each Indemnified
Party for the full amount of Taxes payable by such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made
within 10 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower.
(c) Within
30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower or
the Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents at the applicable address set forth
on this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.
(d) If
any assignee of a Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (i) within 15 days after becoming an assignee hereunder,
two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or
Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant
United States taxing authorities or Applicable Law), as appropriate, to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the
account of such Lender without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence
of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section
2.11(d), copies (in such numbers as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law or regulations) of such additional,
amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Servicer
to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar
Taxes.
(e) If,
in connection with an agreement or other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to any
Lender in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, such Lender is required to compensate
a bank or other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described in this Section 2.11,
then, within 10 days after demand by each applicable Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts
as may be necessary to reimburse such Lender for any amounts paid by them.
Without prejudice to
the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower and the Servicer hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower
and the Servicer contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(f) If
at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any additional amounts in accordance with this Section 2.11,
then the Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(b)
but without the payment of any Make-Whole Premium); provided that such option to terminate shall in no event relieve the
Borrower of paying any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.11 in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 2.12 Collateral
Assignment of Agreements. The Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) the Purchase
and Sale Agreement (and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith), any Hedging Agreement, the Loan Agreements
related to each Loan Asset, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guarantying any Loan Asset
and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding any Excluded Amounts or Retained
Interest (the “Assigned Documents”). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby
collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its right to indemnification under the Purchase
and Sale Agreement. The Borrower confirms that until the Collection Date the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative
Agent) on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the
Purchase and Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured
Parties. The parties hereto agree that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
shall terminate upon the Collection Date.
Section 2.13 Grant
of a Security Interest. To secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment in full when due, whether by lapse of time,
acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations and the performance by the Borrower of all of the covenants and obligations to be
performed by it pursuant to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become
due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, the Borrower hereby (a) collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and (b) grants a security interest to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all of the Collateral
Portfolio (including any Hedging Agreements), whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever
the same may be located. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Portfolio shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and the Borrower
does not hereby assign, pledge or grant a security interest in any such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
(a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral Portfolio to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties
and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral Portfolio shall not release the Borrower from any
of its duties or obligations under the Collateral Portfolio, and (c) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any
Lender, any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank nor any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral
Portfolio by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent,
any Liquidity Bank nor any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or
to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
Section 2.14 Evidence
of Debt. The Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower, at its address referred
to in Section 11.02 a copy of each assignment and acceptance agreement and participation agreement delivered to and accepted
by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses and interests of the Lenders (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, each Lender and each Lender Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this
Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender Agent
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Section 2.15 Survival
of Representations and Warranties. It is understood and agreed that the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect
to any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 made
on each Cut-Off Date, Advance Date, Reporting Date and any date on which Loan Assets are Pledged hereunder shall survive the pledge
to the Collateral Agent hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.16 Release
of Loan Assets.
The Borrower may obtain
the release of (i) any Loan Asset (and the related Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) released pursuant to a Lien Release Dividend
or sold or substituted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.07, (ii) any Loan Asset (and the related
Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) with respect to which all amounts have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited
in the Collection Account and (iii) the entire Collateral Portfolio following the Collection Date. The Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, execute
such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, give notice of such release
to the Collateral Custodian (in the form of Exhibit N) (unless the Collateral Custodian and Collateral Agent are the same
Person) and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect such release of the Lien created
pursuant to this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification by the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding
sentence, if applicable, the Collateral Custodian shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to the Borrower.
Section 2.17 Treatment
of Amounts Received by the Borrower. Amounts received by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07 on account of Loan Assets
shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable, on Loan Assets hereunder.
Section 2.18 Prepayment;
Termination.
(a) Except
as expressly permitted or required herein, including, without limitation, any repayment necessary to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency,
Advances Outstanding may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any time by delivering a Notice of
Reduction (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender
Agents and the Hedge Counterparty at least one Business Day prior to such reduction. Upon any prepayment, the Borrower shall also
pay in full any Hedge Breakage Costs, Breakage Fees (solely to the extent such prepayment occurs on any day other than a Payment
Date) and other accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, Lender Agents and Lenders related to such prepayment;
provided that no reduction in Advances Outstanding shall be given effect unless (i) sufficient funds have been remitted
to pay all such amounts in full, as determined by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, (ii) the Borrower has complied
with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that one or more Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as the
result of any such reduction of the Advances Outstanding, and has paid in full all Hedge Breakage Costs owing to the relevant Hedge
Counterparty for any such termination and (iii) no event has occurred or would result from such prepayment which would constitute
an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant
to this Section 2.18(a) to the payment of any Hedge Breakage Costs, to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the
pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)
shall be irrevocable.
(b) The
Borrower may, at its option, terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon three Business Days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and any Hedge Counterparty and upon payment in full of all Advances
Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Yield, any Breakage Fees, Hedge Breakage Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of
the Administrative Agent, Lender Agents and Lenders, payment of the Make-Whole Premium pro rata to each Lender Agent (for
the account of the applicable Lender) and payment of all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification obligations).
(c) The
Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Make-Whole Premium constitutes additional consideration for the Lenders to enter
into this Agreement.
Section 2.19 Extension
of Stated Maturity Date. The Borrower may, at any time, make a request to the Lenders to extend both the date set forth in
clause (i) of the definition of “Reinvestment Period” and the date set forth in the definition of “Stated
Maturity Date”. Such date may be extended by mutual agreement among the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, the Borrower
and the Servicer. The Borrower confirms that any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, in their sole and absolute discretion,
without regard to the value or performance of the Loan Assets or any other factor, may elect not to extend such date.
Section 2.20 Collections
and Allocations.
(a) The
Collateral Agent shall promptly identify all Available Collections received in the Collection Account as being on account of Interest
Collections or Principal Collections and shall segregate all Principal Collections and Interest Collections and transfer the same
to the Principal Collection Account and the Interest Collection Account, respectively. The Servicer shall transfer, or cause to
be transferred, any collections received directly by it (if any) to the Collection Account by the close of business within two
Business Days after such Collections are received; provided that the Servicer shall identify to the Collateral Agent any
collections received directly by the Servicer as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections. The Collateral
Agent shall further provide to the Servicer a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit
in the Principal Collection Account and the Interest Collection Account no later than three Business Days after each Determination
Date for inclusion in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.08(b). It is understood and agreed that the Servicer
shall remain liable for the proper allocation of the aforementioned Collections into the appropriate accounts.
(b) On
the Cut-Off Date with respect to any Loan Asset, the Servicer will deposit into the Collection Account all Available Collections
received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral Portfolio on such date.
(c) With
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (a copy of which will be provided by the Servicer to the Collateral Agent),
the Servicer may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior
to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts
in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their sole discretion.
(d) Prior
to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer shall, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form
of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Controlled
Accounts in Permitted Investments, from the date of this Agreement until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction,
such funds shall not be invested. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in any Controlled Account shall mature not
later than the Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity.
All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or its nominee for the benefit of Collateral
Agent. All income and gain realized from any such investment, as well as any interest earned on deposits in any Controlled Account
shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. The Borrower shall deposit in the Collection
Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account, as the case may be (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein),
an amount equal to the amount of any actual loss incurred, in respect of any such investment, immediately upon realization of such
loss. None of the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender Agent or any Lender shall be liable
for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds held in any Controlled Account,
other than with respect to fraud or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral
Agent or any of its Affiliates may receive compensation with respect to the Permitted Investments.
(e) Until
the Collection Date, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts
held in any Controlled Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 2.04 or Section 2.21.
Section 2.21 Reinvestment
of Principal Collections.
On the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Collateral Agent, the Lender Agents and Administrative Agent, prior to the
end of the Reinvestment Period, the Servicer may, to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection
Account:
(a) withdraw
such funds for the purpose of reinvesting in additional Eligible Loan Assets to be Pledged hereunder; provided that the
following conditions are satisfied:
(i) all
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.04 have been satisfied;
(ii) no
Event of Default has occurred, or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment, and no Unmatured Event of Default or Borrowing
Base Deficiency exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment;
(iii) the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 hereof shall continue to be correct
in all respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date;
(iv) delivery
of a Disbursement Request and a Borrowing Base Certificate, each executed by the Borrower and a Responsible Officer of the Servicer;
and
(v) the

statement reflecting the total amount on deposit as of the opening of business on such day in the Principal Collection Account;
or
(b) withdraw
such funds for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject
to the terms of Section 2.18.
Upon the satisfaction
of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.21 (as certified by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the
Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent will release funds from the Principal Collection Account to the Servicer in an amount
not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount requested by the Servicer and (B) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection
Account on such day.
Section 2.22 Refunding
of Swingline Advances.
(a) Each
Swingline Advance shall be refunded by the Lenders (other than the Swingline Lender) on the second Business Day following the date
of such Swingline Advance (each such date, a “Swingline Refund Date”). Such refunding shall be made by the Lenders
in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and shall thereafter be reflected as Advances of the Lenders on the books and records
of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall fund its respective Pro Rata Share of Advances as required to repay Swingline Advances
outstanding to the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 noon on the applicable Swingline Refund Date.
(b) The
Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender, within twenty-two (22) days of demand, the amount of such Swingline Advances to the
extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Advances requested or required
to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower
from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the
Lenders (other than the Swingline Lender) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(c) Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Advances in accordance with the terms of this Section is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Article III. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding
of any outstanding Swingline Advances pursuant to this Section, a Bankruptcy Event relating to the Borrower shall have occurred,
each Lender will, on the date the applicable Advance would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the
Swingline Advance to be refunded in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Advance. Each
Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon
receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of
receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s
participating interest in a Swingline Advance, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender
will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments,
to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline
Advance at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements (which
may include the delivery of cash collateral) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Swingline
Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure (without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iii)) with
respect to any such Defaulting Lender.
Section 2.23 Defaulting
Lenders.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that
Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(i) That
Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.
(ii) Any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the
Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender hereunder;
third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral
for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender for any participation in any Swingline Advance; fourth, as the
Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect
of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative
Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held as cash collateral for future funding
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing
to the other Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting
Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as
no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances
or funded participation in Swingline Advances in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share,
such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and funded participation in Swingline Advance owed to, all non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, and funded participation in Swingline
Advance owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that
are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) During
any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting
Lender to (a) acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.22 or (b) make Advances
to the Borrower to repay a Swingline Advance pursuant to Section 2.02, the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting
Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (x) each such
reallocation shall be given effect only if the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund
participations in Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting
Lender minus (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances of that Lender.
(iv) For
any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, that Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment
Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee
that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).
(b) If
the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in its sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer
be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective
date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders
or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro
rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
Section 2.24 Replacement
of Lenders.
If any Lender (other
than Wells Fargo) (i) is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, (ii) requires the Borrower to pay any additional amounts under Sections
2.10 or 2.11 with respect thereto, (iii) does not consent to any amendment or modification (including in the form of
a consent or waiver) described in Section 11.01which is approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders, or (iv) does not consent to a request to extend the date set forth in the definition of “Stated Maturity Date”
or the date set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Reinvestment Period”, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to (x) assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.04), all
of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (y) terminate all of its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and reduce the aggregate Commitments outstanding; provided
that:
(a) (i)
if such Lender’s Commitments have been assigned pursuant to clause (x) above, such Lender shall have received payment of
an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable
to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts) or (ii) if such Lender’s Commitments have been terminated pursuant to clause (y) above, such
Lender shall have received payment of all such amounts payable to it hereunder from the Borrower (provided that any non-pro
rata payments to a Lender hereunder must be consented to by the Administrative Agent); and
(b) such
assignment, delegation or termination does not conflict with Applicable Law.

and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments,
and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing
rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the

loan syndication Loan Agreements has the right to do so.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender Agent and
the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, the Transferor or the Borrower from any of their

then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.
Section 6.03 Authorization

(a) Each
of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent, each Lender and the Hedge Counterparty hereby authorizes the Servicer

other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder,
and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio.

Agreements.

(e) Controlled
Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) each Controlled Account is intended to be a “securities account”

Control, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled
to exercise the rights that comprise each Financial Asset held in each Controlled Account which is a securities account and have
the right to direct the disposition of funds in any Controlled Account which is a deposit account; provided that after the
delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, such rights shall be exclusively held by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction
of the Administrative Agent). Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the securities intermediary that holds any money
or other property for the Borrower in a Controlled Account that is a securities account to agree with the parties hereto that (A)
the cash and other property (subject to Section 6.04(f) below with respect to any property other than investment property,
as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC) is to be treated as a Financial Asset and (B) regardless of any provision in any
other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, with respect to the Controlled Accounts, New York shall be deemed to be the Account Bank’s

(f) Loan
Agreements. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a
“securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian
nor any securities intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the
Pledge by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan Asset in the nature of a loan or a participation in a loan to examine
or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Loan
Agreements, or otherwise to examine the Loan Agreements, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements
of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation any necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument
delivered to it evidencing any Loan Asset Pledged to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Collateral Agent
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(g) Adjustments.
If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of an Interest Collection or a Principal Collection
of a Loan Asset and such Interest Collection or Principal Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is
not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Interest Collection or Principal
Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Interest Collection or Principal Collection,
the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored
check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.
Section 6.05 Realization
Upon Loan Assets. The Servicer will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to foreclose upon or repossess,
as applicable, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Underlying Collateral relating to a Defaulted Loan Asset as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Servicer will comply with the Servicing
Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Underlying Collateral, and employ practices and procedures including reasonable
efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce all obligations of Obligors foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing
the sale of such Underlying Collateral at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary,
the Servicer may cause the sale of any such Underlying Collateral to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal
to the then fair value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered
to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan Asset, the Underlying Collateral, the sale price of the Underlying Collateral
and certifying that such sale price is the fair value of such Underlying Collateral. In any case in which any such Underlying Collateral
has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession
of such Underlying Collateral unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or foreclosure or repossession will increase
the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries
received in connection with the sale or disposition of Underlying Collateral relating to a Defaulted Loan Asset.
Section 6.06 Servicer

due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (ii) on the Facility Maturity Date,
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Fees and Yield and any other Obligations
are not immediately paid in full, then the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative
Agent, in addition to all other rights specified hereunder, shall have the right, in its own name and as agent for the Lenders
and Lender Agents, to immediately sell (at the Servicer’s expense) in a commercially reasonable manner, in a recognized market
(if one exists) at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all of the Collateral
Portfolio and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations.
(b) The
parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral Portfolio on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction
with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral Portfolio may not
be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the
Collateral Portfolio, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to liquidate any of the Collateral Portfolio
on the date the Administrative Agent or all of the Lender Agents declares the Advances Outstanding hereunder to be immediately
due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or to liquidate all of the Collateral Portfolio in the same manner or on the same
Business Day.
(c) If
the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral
Portfolio or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Borrower and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative Agent, on a timely
basis, all information relating to the Collateral Portfolio subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure
documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested
by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable information relating to the Collateral
Portfolio subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of
the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder.
(d) Each
of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming
through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption
law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral Portfolio may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay
the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral Portfolio or any part thereof,
or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of
the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent
that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting
the Collateral Portfolio marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent on its
behalf, or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral
Portfolio as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such
court may determine.
(e) Any
amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral Portfolio pursuant to this Section 7.02 in excess of the
Obligations will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.04(d), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(f) The
Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and the Lenders shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided herein
and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual
debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between any Lender
and the Borrower.
(g) Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy,
each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or
remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
(h) Each
of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent its true
and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement
of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary
receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral Portfolio
in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary
or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower
and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant
hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document or
Hedging Agreement. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify
and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent
or all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

(v) on
each Business Day prior to the Collection Date, the occurrence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency and the same continues unremedied
for five Business Days;

Portfolio or the other Portfolio Assets related thereto, whether at the time of any Advance or at any subsequent time;
(vii) any
dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of an Obligor) to the payment of any Loan Asset included
in the Collateral Portfolio (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Loan Asset (or the Loan Agreement evidencing
such Loan Asset) not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms), or any other claim related to such Collateral Portfolio;
(viii) any
failure of the Borrower or the Servicer (if Golub or one of its Affiliates is the Servicer) to perform its duties or obligations
in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or any failure by the Servicer, the Borrower
or any Affiliate thereof to perform its respective duties under any Collateral Portfolio;
(ix) any
inability to obtain any judgment in, or utilize the court or other adjudication system of, any state in which an Obligor may be

report or any similar report;
(x) any
action taken by the Borrower or the Servicer in the enforcement or collection of the Collateral Portfolio which results in any
claim, suit or action of any kind pertaining to the Collateral Portfolio or which reduces or impairs the rights of the Administrative
Agent, any Lender Agent or any Lender with respect to any Loan Asset or the value of any such Loan Asset;
(xi) any
products liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort

Portfolio, including any vicarious liability;
(xiii) the
failure by the Borrower to pay when due any Taxes for which the Borrower is liable, including, without limitation, sales, excise
or personal property Taxes payable in connection with the Collateral Portfolio;
(xiv) any
repayment by the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, the Lenders or a Secured Party of any amount previously distributed in

commingling by the Borrower or the Servicer of payments and collections required to be remitted to the Collection Account or the

investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the use of proceeds of
Advances or the Collateral Portfolio, or the administration of the Loan Assets by the Borrower or the Servicer;
(xvii) any
failure by the Borrower to give reasonably equivalent value to the Transferor (or other seller thereof) in consideration for the
transfer to the Borrower of any item of Collateral Portfolio or any attempt by any Person to void or otherwise avoid any such transfer

(xx) the
failure by the Borrower to comply with any of the covenants relating to the Hedging Agreement in accordance with the Transaction
Documents.
(b) Any
amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within two Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s written
demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable
Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf
of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 8.01, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate
setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification
is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
(c) If
for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 8.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient
to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Borrower or the Servicer,
as the case may be, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified
Party on the one hand and the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, on the other hand but also the relative fault of such
Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
(d) If
the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Administrative Agent on behalf of an Indemnified Party
pursuant to this Section 8.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified
Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower, without interest.
(e) The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination
of this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Indemnities

existing at the time of the related Advance or any time thereafter;
(vi) the
commingling by the Servicer of payments and collections required to be remitted to the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure

Agent of such amounts).
(c) If

such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.
(d) The
Servicer shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse
for uncollectible or uncollected Loan Assets.
(e) The
obligations of the Servicer under this Section 8.02 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this
Agreement.
(f) Any
indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not be payable from the Collateral Portfolio.
Section 8.03 Legal
Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative
proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly
notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing
of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written
notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified
Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of Section 8.01, the first sentence
of Section 8.02 or Section 8.02(d), as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at
its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate
counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified
Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there
may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that
the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified
Party, the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided,
further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar
or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees
or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm
(and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying
Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided
that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with
and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the
prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified
Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying
Party in connection with the defense of the Action.
Section 8.04 After-Tax
Basis. Indemnification under Section 8.01 and 8.02 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party
whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder,
including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the
Indemnified Party.

THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT and Lender agents
Section 9.01 The
Administrative Agent.
(a) Appointment.
Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and hereby
further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Lender
Agent and each Secured Party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative
Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Lender Agent, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise
exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent”
in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom,
and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) Delegation
of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by
or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining
to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in
fact that it selects with reasonable care.
(c) Administrative
Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement
or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Secured Party
hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Transferor), independent public accountants
and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance
with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible
for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any
of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including
the books and records) of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement
or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other
instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
(d) Actions
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lender Agents
as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders and Lender Agents
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lender Agents; provided, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such
action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to
any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the
Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender Agent pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does
not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of
such request, then such Lender or Lender Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.
(e) Notice
of Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event,
unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Lender Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer referring
to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event and stating that
such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default,” “Notice of Unmatured Event of Default” or “Notice
of Servicer Termination Event,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 9.01(c)) take such
action with respect to such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event as may be requested by the
Lender Agents acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lender Agents.
(f) Credit
Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter
taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor
or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral Portfolio, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender Agent as to any matter, including
whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s
Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to
enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative
Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility
to provide any Lender Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or their respective Affiliates which may
come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.
(g) Indemnification
of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender Agent agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by
the Borrower or the Servicer), ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent
hereunder or thereunder; provided that the Lender Agents shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions
of the Lender Agents shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Article IX.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Agent agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with
the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations,
legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lender
Agents or Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses
by the Borrower or the Servicer.
(h) Successor
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least five days’ written notice thereof to each Lender Agent and the
Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lender Agents acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Lender Agents acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Each Lender Agent agrees that it shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s
giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either
(i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder
by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or
removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
(i) Payments
by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Agents shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the
Lender Agents in accordance with their related Lender’s respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding,
or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their related Lender’s most recent Commitments, on the Business
Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case
the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender Agent on such Business Day, but, in
any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender Agent not later than the following Business Day.
Section 9.02 The
Lender Agents.
(a) Authorization
and Action. Each Lender, respectively, hereby designates and appoints its related Lender Agent to act as its agent hereunder
and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes such Lender Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to such Lender Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Lender Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with its related Lender, and
no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of such Lender Agent shall be
read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for such Lender Agent. In performing its functions
and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, each Lender Agent shall act solely as agent for its related Lender
and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower,
the Servicer or any other Lender. No Lender Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Lender Agent to personal
liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority
of each Lender Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations.
(b) Delegation
of Duties. Each Lender Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Lender
Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
(c) Exculpatory
Provisions. Neither any Lender Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
(except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to
its related Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or the Servicer contained in
Article IV, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document
furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of the Borrower or the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder
or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, or for the perfection, priority, condition,
value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. No Lender Agent shall be under any obligation to its related
Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or the Servicer.
No Lender Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless such Lender Agent
has received notice from the Borrower or its related Lender.
(d) Reliance
by Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or
Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants
and other experts selected by such Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence
of its related Lender as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by its related Lender; provided
that, unless and until such Lender Agent shall have received such advice, such Lender Agent may take or refrain from taking any
action, as the Lender Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of its related Lender. Each Lender Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of its related Lender, and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon its related Lender.
(e) Non-Reliance
on Lender Agent. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither its related Lender Agent, nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Lender
Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed
to constitute any representation or warranty by such Lender Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to its related Lender Agent
that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon its related Lender Agent, and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial
and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.
(f) Lender
Agents are in their Respective Individual Capacities. Each Lender Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits
from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as though such Lender Agent
were not a Lender Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances Outstanding pursuant to this Agreement, each Lender Agent shall have
the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not a Lender Agent, and the terms “Lender,” and “Lenders,” shall include the Lender Agent in its individual
capacity.
(g) Successor
Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Borrower and its related Lender, and such Lender Agent
will, upon the direction of its related Lender resign as the Lender Agent for such Lender. If any Lender Agent shall resign, then
its related Lender during such five day period shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason no successor agent is appointed
by such Lender during such five day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, and the Borrower shall
make all payments in respect of the Obligations due to such Lender directly to such Lender, and for all purposes shall deal directly
with such Lender. After any retiring Lender Agent’s resignation hereunder as a Lender Agent, the provisions of Articles
VIII and IX shall inure to its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a
Lender Agent under this Agreement.

the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance,
and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction
of the Administrative Agent) as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action
that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests
granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including,
without limitation, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements,
or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Loan Assets now existing or hereafter arising, and
such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Nothing in this Section

statements in respect of the Collateral Portfolio in accordance with Section 5.01(t).
(ii) The
Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions
which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be
required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully
protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or otherwise
if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable
Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise
(unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral
Agent requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or
negative) from the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall
be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.
(iii) Except
as expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to
exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement (x) unless and until (and to the extent) expressly
so directed by the Administrative Agent or (y) prior to the Facility Maturity Date (and upon such occurrence, the Collateral Agent
shall act in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (x)). The Collateral
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured
Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative
Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default,
unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the
Collateral Agent.
(d) If,
in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action,
the Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If
the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within two Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent

(i) The
Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement and shall not be

may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may not resign prior to a successor Collateral Agent being appointed.

to the subject matter hereof (including the Existing Agreement), superseding all prior oral or written understandings other than
any fee letter delivered by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents.
Section 11.11 Consent
to Jurisdiction; Service of Process.
(a) Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New

shall affect the right of the Lenders, the Lender Agents or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner

Section 11.12 Characterization
of Conveyances Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
(a) It
is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the Borrower as
contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement be, and be treated for all purposes (other than accounting purposes and subject
to the tax characterization of the Borrower and the Advances described in Section 5.01(aa) and Section 5.02(k) hereof)
as, a sale by the Transferor of such Eligible Loan Assets. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance
be deemed a pledge of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the Borrower to secure a debt or other obligation of the Transferor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Eligible Loan Assets are held to continue to be property
of the Transferor, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement under Applicable Law; (ii) as set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the transfer of the Eligible Loan Assets
provided for in the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Transferor to the Borrower of a first priority
security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Eligible
Loan Assets and all amounts payable to the holders of the Eligible Loan Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds
of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including,
without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Controlled Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property; (iii) the possession by the Borrower (or the Collateral Custodian on its behalf) of Loan Assets and
such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause
(iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding
such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Borrower for the purpose
of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties further agree that any assignment of the interest of the
Borrower pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to
the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Borrower shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Purchase and Sale Agreement was deemed to create a security
interest in the Eligible Loan Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
(subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
(b) It
is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Eligible Loan Assets conveyed by the Transferor to the Borrower pursuant
to the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Borrower and shall not be part of the Transferor’s
estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Transferor under any bankruptcy or similar law.
(c) The
Borrower agrees to treat, and shall cause the Transferor to treat, for all purposes (other than accounting purposes and subject
to the tax characterization of the Borrower and the Advances described in Section 5.01(aa) and Section 5.02(k) hereof),
the transactions effected by the Purchase and Sale Agreement as sales of assets to the Borrower. The Borrower and the Servicer
each hereby agree to cause the Transferor to reflect in the Transferor’s financial records and to include a note in the publicly
filed annual and quarterly financial statements of Golub indicating that: (i) assets related to transactions (including transactions
pursuant to the Transaction Documents) that do not meet ASC Topic 860 requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected
in the consolidated balance sheet of Golub as investments and (ii) those assets are owned by a special purpose entity that is consolidated
in Golub’s financial statements, the creditors of the special purpose entity have received security interests in such assets
and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of Golub (or any affiliate of Golub).
Section 11.13 Confidentiality.
(a) Each
of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower, the Account Bank,
the Transferor and the Collateral Custodian shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality
of the Agreement and all information with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the Borrower and the
Servicer hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution
of the transactions contemplated herein, except that each such party and its officers and employees may (i) disclose such information
to its external accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys or other agents, including any valuation firm engaged by such party
in connection with any due diligence or comparable activities with respect to the transactions and Loan Assets contemplated herein
and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”); provided that each Excepted Person shall, as a condition
to any such disclosure, agree for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Servicer, the Collateral
Agent, the Borrower, the Account Bank, the Transferor and the Collateral Custodian that such information shall be used solely in
connection with such Excepted Person’s evaluation of, or relationship with, the Borrower and its affiliates, (ii) disclose
the existence of the Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof, (iii) disclose such information as is required by Applicable
Law and (iv) disclose the Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in
equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving any of the Transaction Documents for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its
liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or interests under or in connection with any of the
Transaction Documents. It is understood that the financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section
11.13(a) include, without limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Events of Default, Servicer Termination Events,
and priority of payment provisions.
(b) Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower and the Servicer each hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information
with respect to it (i) to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent or the
Collateral Custodian by each other, (ii) by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Account Bank, the Collateral
Agent and the Collateral Custodian to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them provided such Person agrees
to hold such information confidential, or (iii) by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Account Bank,
the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian to any commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or
liquidity enhancement to any Lender or any Person providing financing to, or holding equity interests in, any Conduit Lender, as
applicable, and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each
such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian may disclose any such nonpublic information as required
pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings
(whether or not having the force or effect of law).
(c) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that
is or becomes publicly known; (ii) disclosure of any and all information (a) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law,
rule or regulation, (b) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects
of the Lenders’, the Lender Agents’, the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, the Account Bank’s
or the Collateral Custodian’s business or that of their affiliates, (c) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand

shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party, (d) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement
or contract or other document approved in advance by the Borrower, the Servicer or the Transferor or (e) to any affiliate, independent

contemplated hereby.

Each of the parties hereto
hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under this Agreement from time to time against the

or otherwise) on account of Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Breakage Fees, Section 2.10 or Section 2.11)
in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith
purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment
is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay
to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of
the total amount so recovered.

If the Borrower or the
Servicer, as applicable, fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under Section 5.01(t), Section 5.02(r)

This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

obligations) and the termination of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Borrower termination statements,
reconveyances, releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Pledge and other Liens
securing the Obligations, all at the expense of the Borrower.

COLLATERAL
CUSTODIAN
Section 12.01 Designation
of Collateral Custodian.
(a) Initial
Collateral Custodian. The role of Collateral Custodian with respect to the Required Loan Documents shall be conducted by the
Person designated as Collateral Custodian hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 12.01. Each of the
Borrower, the Lender Agents and the Administrative Agent hereby designate and appoint the Collateral Custodian to act as its agent
and hereby authorizes the Collateral Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such
duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Custodian by this Agreement. The Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such agency
appointment to act as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as Collateral
Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b) Successor
Collateral Custodian. Upon the Collateral Custodian’s receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice from the Administrative
Agent of the designation of a successor Collateral Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.05, the Collateral
Custodian agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collateral Custodian hereunder.
Section 12.02 Duties
of Collateral Custodian.
(a) Appointment.
The Borrower, the Lender Agents and the Administrative Agent each hereby appoints Wells Fargo to act as Collateral Custodian, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and
obligations with respect thereto set forth herein.
(b) Duties.
From the Original Closing Date until its removal pursuant to Section 12.05, the Collateral Custodian shall perform, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations:
(i) The
Collateral Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Required Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section
3.02(a) and Section 3.04(b) hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit
of the Secured Parties. Within five Business Days of its receipt of any Required Loan Documents, the related Loan Tape and a hard
copy of the Loan Asset Checklist, the Collateral Custodian shall review the Required Loan Documents to confirm that (A) such Required
Loan Documents have been executed by each party thereto (either an original or a copy, as indicated on the Loan Asset Checklist)
and have no missing or mutilated pages, (B) filed stamped copies of the UCC and other filings (required by the Required Loan Documents)
are included, (C) each item listed in the Loan Asset Checklist is included and verify it has been provided to the Collateral Custodian
without any missing pages or sections, and (D) the related original balance (based on a comparison to the note or assignment agreement,
as applicable), Loan Asset number and Obligor name, as applicable, with respect to such Loan Asset is referenced on the related
Loan Tape (such items (A) through (D) collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing
review by the Collateral Custodian, in connection with each delivery of Required Loan Documents hereunder to the Collateral Custodian,
the Servicer shall provide to the Collateral Custodian a hard copy (which may be preceded by an electronic copy, as applicable)
of the related Loan Asset Checklist which contains the Loan Asset information with respect to the Required Loan Documents being
delivered, identification number and the name of the Obligor with respect to such Loan Asset. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Collateral Custodian’s obligation to review the Required Loan Documents shall be limited to reviewing such
Required Loan Documents based on the information provided on the Loan Asset Checklist. If, at the conclusion of such review, the
Collateral Custodian shall determine that (i) the original balance of the Loan Asset with respect to which it has received Required
Loan Documents is less than as set forth on the Loan Tape or the Obligor name does not match, the Collateral Custodian shall notify
the Administrative Agent and the Servicer of such discrepancy within one Business Day, or (ii) any Review Criteria is not satisfied,
the Collateral Custodian shall within one Business Day notify the Servicer of such determination and provide the Servicer with
a list of the non-complying Loan Assets and the applicable Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy. The Servicer shall have five
Business Days after notice or knowledge thereof to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. To the extent such non-compliance
has not been cured within such time period, such Loan Asset shall be deemed to be a Warranty Loan Asset and shall no longer be
included in the calculation of any Borrowing Base hereunder until such deficiency is cured. In addition, if requested in writing
(in the form of Exhibit N) by the Servicer and approved by the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of the Collateral
Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Collateral Custodian shall return any Loan Asset which fails to satisfy a Review
Criteria to the Borrower. Other than the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any
Required Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Custodian shall have no duty
or obligation with respect to any Loan Asset checklist delivered to it in electronic form.
(ii) In
taking and retaining custody of the Required Loan Documents, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent
of the Secured Parties; provided that the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection
or priority of any Lien on the Required Loan Documents or the instruments therein; and provided, further, that, the
Collateral Custodian’s duties shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.
(iii) All
Required Loan Documents shall be kept in fire resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the locations specified on the address of
the Collateral Custodian on the signature pages attached hereto, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Administrative
Agent and the Servicer by the Collateral Custodian in a written notice delivered at least 30 days prior to such change. All Required
Loan Documents shall be placed together with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval
and access. The Collateral Custodian shall segregate the Required Loan Documents on its inventory system and will not commingle
the physical Required Loan Documents with any other files of the Collateral Custodian other than those, if any, relating to Golub
and its Affiliates and subsidiaries.
(iv) On
the Reporting Date of each month, the Collateral Custodian shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent and the Servicer
(in a form mutually agreeable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian) identifying each Loan Asset for which it
holds Required Loan Documents and the applicable Review Criteria that any Loan Asset fails to satisfy.
(v) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any fiduciary relationship
with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities
shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Custodian. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Collateral
Custodian shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility.
(c) (i) The
Collateral Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and deliver any Required Loan Documents
to the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent (pursuant to a written request in the form of Exhibit N), as applicable,
as requested in order to take any action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect
or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce
any of their respective rights hereunder, including any rights arising with respect to Article VII. In the event the Collateral
Custodian receives instructions from the Collateral Agent, the Servicer or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received
by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) The
Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Custodian to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions
which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall
not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall
be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the
Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured
Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Custodian, (x) shall be in violation
of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Custodian to liability
hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In
the event the Collateral Custodian requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian does not receive
a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then
the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.
(iii) The
Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction
of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Custodian,
or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder,
including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Custodian has knowledge of such matter or written
notice thereof is received by the Collateral Custodian.
Section 12.03 Merger
or Consolidation.
Any Person (i) into which
the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral
Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as
a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Collateral
Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the
parties to this Agreement.
Section 12.04 Collateral
Custodian Compensation.
As compensation for its
Collateral Custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to the Collateral Custodian Fees from the
Borrower as set forth in the Wells Fargo Fee Letter, payable pursuant to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.04. The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to receive the Collateral Custodian Fees shall
cease on the earlier to occur of: (i) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 12.05, (ii) its resignation
as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 12.07 of this Agreement or (iii) the termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.05 Collateral
Custodian Removal.
The Collateral Custodian
may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent by notice given in writing to the Collateral Custodian (the
“Collateral Custodian Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral
Custodian Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Collateral Custodian
has been appointed and has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder.
Section 12.06 Limitation
on Liability.
(a) The
Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion,
notice, letter, telegram or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that
has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected
in acting upon (a) the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent or (b) the verbal instructions
of the Administrative Agent.
(b) The
Collateral Custodian may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
(c) The
Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good
faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in
the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.
(d) The
Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability
of the Collateral Portfolio, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except
as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral Portfolio. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to
take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.
(e) The
Collateral Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth
in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Custodian.
(f) The
Collateral Custodian shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder.
(g) It
is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability
for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral Portfolio.
(h) Subject
in all cases to the last sentence of Section 12.02(c)(i), in case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder,
the Collateral Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Facility Maturity Date, request instructions
from the Servicer and may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Facility Maturity Date, request instructions from
the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions
from the Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk
or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall
the Collateral Custodian be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but
not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless
of the form of action.
Section 12.07 Collateral
Custodian Resignation.
Collateral Custodian
may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder, not earlier than 90 days after delivery to the Administrative
Agent of written notice of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon the effective date
of such resignation, or if the Administrative Agent gives Collateral Custodian written notice of an earlier termination hereof,
Collateral Custodian shall (i) be reimbursed for any costs and expenses Collateral Custodian shall incur in connection with the
termination of its duties under this Agreement and (ii) deliver all of the Required Loan Documents in the possession of Collateral
Custodian to the Administrative Agent or to such Person as the Administrative Agent may designate to Collateral Custodian in writing
upon the receipt of a request in the form of Exhibit N. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral
Custodian may not resign prior to a successor Collateral Custodian being appointed.
Section 12.08 Release
of Documents.
(a) Release
for Servicer. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any of the Collateral Portfolio, the
Collateral Custodian is hereby authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the Administrative Agent), upon written
receipt from the Servicer of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit N, to
release to the Servicer within two Business Days of receipt of such request, the related Required Loan Documents or the documents
set forth in such request and receipt to the Servicer. All documents so released to the Servicer shall be held by the Servicer
in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Servicer shall return to the Collateral Custodian the Required Loan Documents or other such documents (i) promptly upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, or (ii) when the Servicer’s need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing
no longer exists, unless the Loan Asset shall be liquidated, in which case, the Servicer shall deliver an additional request for
release of documents to the Collateral Custodian and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Servicer to the Collateral Agent,
all in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit N.
(b) Limitation
on Release. The foregoing provision with respect to the release to the Servicer of the Required Loan Documents and documents
by the Collateral Custodian upon request by the Servicer shall be operative only to the extent that the Administrative Agent has
consented to such release. Promptly after delivery to the Collateral Custodian of any request for release of documents, the Servicer
shall provide notice of the same to the Administrative Agent. Any additional Required Loan Documents or documents requested to
be released by the Servicer may be released only upon written authorization of the Administrative Agent. The limitations of this
paragraph shall not apply to the release of Required Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to the immediately succeeding subsection.
(c) Release
for Payment. Upon receipt by the Collateral Custodian of the Servicer’s request for release of documents and receipt
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit N (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
in connection with such payment or repurchase have been credited to the Collection Account as provided in this Agreement), the
Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related Required Loan Documents to the Servicer.
Section 12.09 Return
of Required Loan Documents.
The Borrower may, with
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), require that the Collateral
Custodian return each Required Loan Document (a) delivered to the Collateral Custodian in error or (b) released from the Lien of
the Collateral Agent hereunder pursuant to Section 2.16, in each case by submitting to the Collateral Custodian and the
Administrative Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit N hereto (signed by both the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent) specifying the Collateral Portfolio to be so returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and
specifying the Section or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Collateral Custodian shall upon its
receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly, but in any event within
five Business Days, return the Required Loan Documents so requested to the Borrower.
Section 12.10 Access
to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral Portfolio; Audits of Servicer.
The Collateral Custodian
shall provide to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent access to the Required Loan Documents and all other documentation
regarding the Collateral Portfolio including in such cases where the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent is required in
connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to
review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two Business Days prior written request,
(ii) during normal business hours and (iii) subject to the Servicer’s and the Collateral Custodian’s normal security
and confidentiality procedures. Periodically from time to time after the Amended and Restated Closing Date at the discretion of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent may review the Servicer’s
collection and administration of the Collateral Portfolio in order to assess compliance by the Servicer with the Servicing Standard,
as well as with this Agreement and may conduct an audit of the Collateral Portfolio, and Required Loan Documents in conjunction
with such a review. Such review shall be (subject to Section 5.03(d)(ii)) reasonable in scope and shall be completed in
a reasonable period of time. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.10, from time to time on request
of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall permit certified public accountants or other auditors acceptable to
the Administrative Agent to conduct, at the expense of the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower), a review of the Required Loan
Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral Portfolio.
Section 12.11 Bailment.
The Collateral Custodian
agrees that, with respect to any Required Loan Documents at any time or times in its possession or held in its name, the Collateral
Custodian shall be the agent and bailee of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting
(to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral Portfolio and for the
purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC.

exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Agreements unenforceable in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense
has been asserted with respect thereto, and the Loan Agreements with respect to the Loan Asset provide for an affirmative waiver

This Variable Funding
Note (the “Note”) is issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December

If all or a portion
of (i) any interest payable hereunder or (ii) any other amounts payable hereunder shall not be paid when due other than the principal
amount hereof (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum
that is equal to the Base Rate plus 4% (unless otherwise specified in the Loan and Servicing Agreement), in each case from the
date of such non-payment to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid in full.
For the avoidance of
doubt, if any Event of Default shall have occurred, with respect to the principal amount hereof, the Yield Rate shall be increased
pursuant to the increase set forth in the definition of “Applicable Spread” set forth in the Loan and Servicing Agreement,
effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, and shall apply after the occurrence of such Event of Default.

the principal amount of the Note shall become due and payable at the time or times set forth in the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
Any portion or all of the principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, together with interest thereon (and, as set forth in the
Loan and Servicing Agreement, certain costs and expenses of the Lender) at the time and in the manner set forth in, but subject
to the provisions of, the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
Except as provided
in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, the Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any
kind whatsoever with respect to this Note.
All amounts evidenced
by this Note, the Lender’s Advances and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and the respective dates and
maturity dates thereof shall be endorsed by the Lender Agent, on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof or on a continuation
thereof, which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender Agent
to make such a notation shall not in any way limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Note as provided
in the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
The holder hereof may
sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of any Advances made by the
Lender and represented by this Note and the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, subject to the applicable provisions of the Loan
and Servicing Agreement.
This Note is secured
by the security interests granted pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Loan and Servicing Agreement. The holder of this Note
is entitled to the benefits of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained in the
Loan and Servicing Agreement and exercise the remedies provided for by, or otherwise available in respect of, the Loan and Servicing
Agreement, all in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the terms of the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
If an Event of Default shall occur, the unpaid balance of the principal of all Advances, together with accrued interest thereon,
may be declared, and may become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
The Borrower, the Transferor

purposes as indebtedness of the Borrower.

FORM OF SWINGLINE NOTE
$_____________ |
[________] [__], 2014 |
THIS SWINGLINE NOTE
HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). NEITHER THIS SWINGLINE NOTE NOR ANY
PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION PROVISIONS.
THIS SWINGLINE NOTE
IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE PLEDGED OR CONVEYED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF
THE LOAN AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
GOLUB CAPITAL BDC FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to WELLS
FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Swingline Lender”) or its assigns, the principal sum of _________________________________________
($___________), or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the aggregate swingline advances (“Swingline Advances”)
made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Loan and Servicing Agreement (as defined below), as set forth on the
attached Schedule, on the dates specified in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount
of each Swingline Advance on each day that such unpaid principal amount is outstanding, at the Interest Rate related to such Swingline
Advance as provided in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, on each Payment Date and each other date specified in the Loan and Servicing
Agreement.
This Swingline Note
(the “Note”) is issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December
18, 2014 (as amended, modified, waived, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Loan and Servicing Agreement”),
by and among Golub Capital BDC Funding LLC, as the borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), Golub Capital
BDC, Inc., as the transferor (in such capacity, the “Transferor”) and as the servicer (in such capacity, the
“Servicer”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as the administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”), each of the Conduit Lenders and Institutional Lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”),
each of the Lender Agents from time to time party thereto (the “Lender Agents”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as
the Swingline Lender and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as the collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”),
as the account bank (in such capacity, the “Account Bank”) and as the collateral custodian (in such capacity,
the “Collateral Custodian”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings provided
in the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding any
other provisions contained in this Note, if at any time the rate of interest payable by the Borrower under this Note, when combined
with any and all other charges provided for in this Note, in the Loan and Servicing Agreement or in any other document (to the
extent such other charges would constitute interest for the purpose of any applicable law limiting interest that may be charged
on this Note), exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”),
then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, the rate of interest under this Note shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful
Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable under this Note is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower
shall continue to pay interest under this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest paid by the Borrower
is equal to the total interest that would have been paid had applicable law not limited the interest rate payable under this Note.
In no event shall the total interest received by the Swingline Lender under this Note exceed the amount which the Swingline Lender
could lawfully have received had the interest due under this Note been calculated since the date of this Note at the Maximum Lawful
Rate.
Payments of the principal
of, and interest on, Swingline Advances represented by this Note shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower to the holder hereof
by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the manner and at the address specified for such purpose as provided in the
Loan and Servicing Agreement, or in such manner or at such other address as the holder of this Note shall have specified in writing
to the Borrower for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of any notation on this Note.
Swingline Advances refunded as Advances in accordance with Section 2.22 of the Loan and Servicing Agreement shall be payable by
the Borrower as Advances pursuant to the Variable Funding Notes, and shall not be payable under this Swingline Note as Swingline
Advances.
If any payment under
this Note falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended at the applicable Interest Rate.
If all or a portion
of (i) the principal amount hereof or (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any other amounts payable hereunder (other than
with respect to any Advances Outstanding, which shall accrue at the Interest Rate) shall not be paid when due (whether at maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to the Base Rate plus
2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid in full.
Portions or all of
the principal amount of the Note shall become due and payable at the time or times set forth in the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
Any portion or all of the principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, together with interest thereon (and, as set forth in the
Loan and Servicing Agreement, certain costs and expenses of the Swingline Lender) at the time and in the manner set forth in, but
subject to the provisions of, the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
Except as provided
in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, the Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any
kind whatsoever with respect to this Note.
All amounts evidenced
by this Note, the Swingline Lender’s Advances and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and the respective
dates and maturity dates thereof shall be endorsed by the Lender, on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof or on
a continuation thereof, which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender
to make such a notation shall not in any way limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Note as provided
in the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
The holder hereof may
sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of any Swingline Advances
made by the Swingline Lender and represented by this Note and the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, subject to the applicable
provisions of the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
This Note is secured
by the security interests granted pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Loan and Servicing Agreement. The holder of this Note
is entitled to the benefits of the Loan and Servicing Agreement as a Secured Party thereunder and, subject to the terms of the
Loan and Servicing Agreement, such holder or the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may enforce the agreements of the Borrower
contained in the Loan and Servicing Agreement and exercise the remedies provided for by, or otherwise available in respect of,
the Loan and Servicing Agreement, all in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the terms of the Loan and
Servicing Agreement. If an Event of Default shall occur, the unpaid balance of the principal of all Advances, together with accrued
interest thereon, may be declared, or shall automatically become, as applicable, due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
The Borrower, the Transferor
and the Servicer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank and the Collateral
Custodian each intend, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, that this Note be evidence of indebtedness
of the Borrower secured by the Collateral Portfolio. The Lender, as a Lender under the Loan and Servicing Agreement, by the acceptance
hereof, agrees to treat the Note as indebtedness of the Borrower.
