WHEREAS, RGA owns certain limited liability company interests of GBDC SLF (all such interests held by RGA, the “GBDC SLF Interests”) and Aurora owns certain limited liability company interests of GCIC SLF (all such interests held by Aurora, the “GCIC SLF Interests” and, together with the GBDC SLF Interests, the “SLF LLC Interests”);

WHEREAS, GBDC owns all of the other outstanding limited liability company interests of GBDC SLF and GCIC SLF not owned by RGA and Aurora, respectively, and upon effectiveness of the transactions contemplated by this agreement shall be the sole member of each of GBDC SLF and GCIC SLF;

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties desire that RGA sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to GBDC, and that GBDC purchase and acquire from RGA, the GBDC SLF Interests and any and all rights and benefits incident to the ownership thereof; and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties desire that Aurora sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to GBDC, and that GBDC purchase and acquire from Aurora, the GCIC SLF Interests and any and all rights and benefits incident to the ownership thereof.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants, representations, warranties and indemnities contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
1.
Sale and Purchase of the SLF LLC Interests; Closing.
(a)    Sale and Purchase of GBDC SLF Interests. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, RGA shall sell, convey, assign and deliver to GBDC, and GBDC shall purchase and acquire from RGA, the GBDC SLF Interests and any and all rights and benefits incident to the ownership thereof, for and in consideration of a cash payment in the amount of the Net Asset Value (as defined below) of the GBDC SLF Interests as determined pursuant to Section 1(c) together with interest payable on such amounts calculated in accordance with Section 1(e).
(b)    Sale and Purchase of GCIC SLF Interests. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Aurora shall sell, convey, assign and deliver to GBDC, and GBDC shall purchase and acquire from Aurora, the GCIC SLF Interests and any and all rights and benefits incident to the ownership thereof, for and in consideration of a cash payment in the amount of the Net Asset Value of the GCIC SLF Interests as determined pursuant to Section 1(c) together with interest payable on such amounts calculated in accordance with Section 1(e).
(c)    Net Asset Value Determination. Promptly, but in no event later than 60 days following the date hereof, GBDC shall cause to be determined the Net Asset Value of each of the GBDC SLF Interests





and the GCIC SLF Interests as of December 31, 2019 (the “Valuation Date”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Asset Value” means, with respect to the applicable SLF LLC Interests, the net asset value of such SLF LLC Interests in each case as determined in good faith by GC Advisors LLC, the investment adviser to GBDC (“GC Advisors”), under its valuation policies and procedures consistently applied across funds advised by GC Advisors, consistent with the amounts at which the same asset is valued by GC Advisors and held by parties not affiliated with GC Advisors and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (the “Valuation Procedures”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of GBDC SLF’s debt investments in Advanced Pain Management Holdings, Inc., Joerns Healthcare, LLC, Paradigm DKD Group, LLC, and Sage Dental Management, LLC shall be valued as of the Valuation Date by an Approved Valuation Expert, and the valuation of such investments used to determine the Net Asset Value shall be determined consistent with the valuation of such Approved Valuation Expert. For this purpose, a valuation of an asset as of the Valuation Date shall be considered consistent with a valuation of an Approved Valuation Expert if it is equal to the recommended value or within the recommended range of values determined by the Approved Valuation Expert as of such date. An “Approved Valuation Expert” shall mean any of Duff & Phelps, LLC, Murray, Devine & Co., Inc. or Houlihan Lokey Inc.
(d)    Closing. The transfer of the SLF LLC Interests, free and clear of all encumbrances, pursuant to this Agreement shall occur and be effective simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to occur at 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the date of this Agreement (the “Effective Time”).
(e)    Payments. On or before March 2, 2020, GBDC shall pay (i) to RGA an amount equal to the Net Asset Value of the GBDC SLF Interests together with interest on such Net Asset Value accrued from the date of this Agreement through, but excluding, the date on which such payment is made and (ii) to Aurora an amount equal to the Net Asset Value of the GCIC SLF Interests together with interest on such Net Asset Value accrued from the date of this Agreement through, but excluding, the date on which such payment is made. Interest pursuant to this Section 1(e) shall accrue at the short-term applicable federal rate for quarterly compounding, as described under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. As a condition to receipt of any payments pursuant to this Agreement, each Transferor shall deliver to GBDC a Certificate of Non-Foreign Status in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed by such Transferor.
(f)    Cooperation. GBDC, on the one hand, and Transferors, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each other in furnishing any information or performing any action reasonably requested by the other party, which information or action is necessary to the timely and successful consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including such cooperation as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the credit facilities of the respective SLFs.

Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, by Transferors will result in the creation of any Encumbrances upon any of the SLF LLC Interests.
(d)    Litigation. There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, arbitration, governmental inquiry or investigation or other action pending or, to Transferors’ knowledge, threatened against any Transferor, at law or in equity, before or by any governmental or regulatory department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which, if adversely determined, would question the validity of, or prevent or delay the consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transferor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or adversely affect any Transferor’s ability to transfer the applicable SLF LLC Interests pursuant to this Agreement.

4.
Survival of Representations and Warranties.
Each and every representation and warranty in this Agreement, the Exhibits to it, and the Assignment Agreement shall survive the Closing.
5.
Indemnification.
(a)    Indemnification by Transferors. Transferors, jointly and severally, hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless GBDC, its affiliates and their respective partners, employees, officers, directors, members, managers, agents, successors and assigns, from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, suits, proceedings, liabilities, costs, fees and expenses (including settlement costs, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any reasonable legal or other expenses for investigation or defense of any actions or threatened actions) (collectively, “Losses” or “Claims,” as the context requires) which may be imposed, sustained, incurred or suffered or asserted as a result of, relating to or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy in or material breach of any representation or warranty of Transferors contained in this Agreement, (ii) any failure by any Transferor to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of Transferors contained in this Agreement (unless specifically waived in writing by GBDC), (iii) any claim by any Person with whom or

5




which any Transferor has, directly or indirectly, dealt for any finder’s or broker’s fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) any and all actions, suits, litigations, arbitrations, proceedings, investigations, claims or liabilities arising out of any of the foregoing.
(b)    Indemnification by GBDC. GBDC agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Transferors, their affiliates and their respective partners, employees, officers, directors, members, managers, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses and Claims which may be imposed, sustained, incurred or suffered or asserted as a result of, relating to or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy in or material breach of any representation or warranty of GBDC contained in this Agreement, (ii) any failure by GBDC to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of GBDC contained in this Agreement (unless specifically waived in writing by Transferors), (iii) any claim by any Person with whom or which GBDC has, directly or indirectly, dealt for any finder’s or broker’s fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) any and all actions, suits, litigations, arbitrations, proceedings, investigations, claims or liabilities arising out of any of the foregoing.
(c)    Procedure for Third Party Claims.
(i)    If a Person entitled to assert a claim for indemnification under this Agreement shall receive notice of the assertion by any Person not a party to this Agreement of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which either Transferors or GBDC is obligated to provide indemnification, the indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) shall give the indemnifying party (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. The failure of the Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 5(c)(i) shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations for indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent that the failure has materially and adversely affected the rights of the Indemnitor. The notice from the Indemnitee shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail.
(ii)    An Indemnitor may elect to compromise or defend, at the Indemnitor’s own expense and by the Indemnitor’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. If an Indemnitor elects to compromise or defend a Third Party Claim, it shall, within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate in the compromise of, or defense against, the Third Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall pay the Indemnitee’s actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its cooperation. After notice from an Indemnitor to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with defense of the Third Party Claim. If an Indemnitor elects not to defend against a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in this Section 5(c)(ii), the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim on behalf of, and for the account and risk of, the Indemnitor. No Indemnitor shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, except with the written consent of each affected Indemnitee, if such judgment or settlement provides for anything other than money damages or other money payments for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or which does not contain as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim.
(iii)    If there is a reasonable likelihood that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect an Indemnitee, other than as a result of money damages or other money payments for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee will have the right, after consultation with the Indemnitor and at the cost and expense of the Indemnitor, to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in lieu of the Indemnitor with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor.

6




(d)    Procedure for Non-Third Party Claims. With respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder which does not result from a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Indemnitee within which to respond to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not respond within the thirty (30) day period, the Indemnitor shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment and shall have no further right to contest the validity of such claim. If the Indemnitor does respond within the thirty (30) day period and rejects the claim in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee under applicable law.
(e)    Reduction of Claim or Loss. If the amount of any Claim or Loss shall, at any time subsequent to payment pursuant to this Section 5, be reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise, the amount of such reduction, less any expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnitor.
6.
SLF Consents and Termination of Subscription Agreements.
(a)    Consent to Transfer. GBDC SLF hereby consents to the transfer of the GBDC SLF Interests to GBDC, and GCIC SLF hereby consents to the transfer of the GCIC SLF Interests to GBDC.
(b)    Effectiveness of Transfer. From and after the Effective Time, (i) RGA shall no longer be a member of GBDC SLF, or a party to the limited liability company operating agreement of GBDC SLF, and shall no longer have any rights or obligations in connection therewith, and (ii) Aurora shall no longer be a member of GCIC SLF, or a party to the limited liability company operating agreement of GCIC SLF, and shall no longer have any rights or obligations in connection therewith. From and after the Effective Time, GBDC shall own 100% of the limited liability company interests of each of GBDC SLF and GCIC SLF.
(c)    Termination of Subscription Agreements. As of the Effective Time, the subscription agreement between RGA and GBDC SLF and the subscription agreement between Aurora and GCIC SLF shall be automatically terminated and of no further force and effect, and the Transferors shall be released from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such subscription agreements.
7.
Confidentiality.
All information furnished in writing by a party to this Agreement to a Transferor in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it shall be kept confidential by Transferors and shall be used by the Transferors only in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except with the specific prior written consent of GBDC and except to the extent that such information (i) is information which the Transferors can demonstrate was already known to the Transferors when received, (ii) at the time of disclosure or thereafter becomes lawfully obtainable from other sources through no act or failure to act on the part of either Transferor, (iii) is required to be disclosed in any document to be filed with any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or in connection with any litigation; provided that, to the extent legally permissible, GBDC is given prior notice to enable it to seek a protective order or similar relief, and provided that the Transferors shall disclose only so much of the confidential information as is legally required; (iv) is disclosed in connection with any consultation with attorneys, accountants, employees, or other advisors retained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby under an obligation to keep such information confidential, or (v) is required to be disclosed by court order or otherwise mandated by law.
