SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE CONVEYED COLLATERAL


 


Section 2.1.          Sale
and Purchase of the Conveyed Collateral.


 


(a)          Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date and each Purchase Date thereafter, the Seller hereby agrees
to (i) sell, assign and otherwise convey (collectively, “Sell” and any such sale, assignment and/or other conveyance,
a “Sale”), to the Purchaser, without recourse, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, all right, title
and interest of the Seller (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) in and to the Sale Portfolio
designated by the Seller and (ii) transfer to, or cause the deposit into, the Collection Account of all Interest Proceeds, Principal
Proceeds and/or other Monies received by the Seller on account of any Sale Portfolio hereunder on and after the Purchase Date with
respect to such Sale Portfolio and required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to the Indenture, in each case,
within two Business Days of the receipt thereof. The Seller hereby acknowledges that each Sale to the Purchaser hereunder is absolute
and irrevocable, without reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever by the Seller.


 


(b)          The
Seller shall on each Purchase Date execute and deliver to the Purchaser a proposed Loan Assignment identifying the Sale Portfolio
to be Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on such Purchase Date. From and after such Purchase Date, the Sale Portfolio listed on
Schedule I to the related Loan Assignment shall be deemed to be listed on Schedule I hereto and constitute part of the Sale Portfolio
hereunder.


 


(c)          On
and after each Purchase Date hereunder and upon payment of the Purchase Price therefor, the Purchaser shall own the Sale Portfolio
Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on such Purchase Date, and the Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership
and shall not claim any ownership interest in such Sale Portfolio.


 


(d)          In
connection with each Purchase of any Sale Portfolio hereunder, the Seller shall cause to be Delivered to the Custodian (with a
copy to the Trustee), the Underlying Instruments and other Assets related to the Collateral Obligations that are a part of such
Sale Portfolio being Sold by the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.


 




     3


     


    

  


(e)          In
connection with the Purchase by the Purchaser of any Sale Portfolio as contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller further agrees
that it shall, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files on or prior to each Purchase Date,
and its financial statements, that such Sale Portfolio has been purchased by the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement.


 


(f)          The
Seller further agrees to deliver to the Purchaser on or before each Purchase Date a computer file containing a true, complete and
correct list of all Collateral Obligations to be Sold hereunder on such Purchase Date, identified by the related Obligor’s
name and Principal Balance as of the related Cut-Off Date. Such file or list shall be marked as Schedule I to the applicable Loan
Assignment and shall be delivered to the Purchaser as confidential and proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a
part of Schedule I to this Agreement, as such Schedule I may be supplemented and amended from time to time.


 


Section 2.2.          Purchase
Price.


 


The purchase price for
(a) the Sale Portfolio Sold on the Closing Date to the Purchaser and (b) each Sale Portfolio Sold after the Closing Date to the
Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchase Price”) shall be the value thereof as determined by the board of directors
of the Seller in accordance with the 1940 Act (but in no event at less than fair market value).  The Purchase Price paid in
connection with the transfer of the Sale Portfolio from the Seller to the Purchaser shall consist of (i) Cash paid by the Purchaser
to the Seller on the date hereof and (ii) a Contribution made by the Seller to the Purchaser in respect of the Interests or (iii)
solely in the case of the transfer of the Sale Portfolio from the Seller to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, a beneficial interest
in all of the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes issued by the Purchaser on the date hereof. To the extent that such Cash and
such Class C Notes and Class D Notes so paid on the date hereof is less than the Purchase Price of the Sale Portfolio purchased
on the Closing Date, the difference shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Seller to the Purchaser in respect of the Interests
the Seller holds in the Purchaser on the date hereof.  After the Closing Date, to the extent the cash paid for any Sale Portfolio
is less than the fair market value thereof, the difference will be deemed to be a capital contribution made by Seller to the Purchaser
in respect of the Interests the Seller holds in the Purchaser.


 


The Purchase Price paid
for any Sale Portfolio acquired by the Purchaser on any Purchase Date pursuant to this Agreement may be paid in a combination of
(i) immediately available funds and/or (ii) a capital contribution by the Seller to the Purchaser.


 


Section 2.3.          Sales
to the Seller. Subject to any applicable provisions of Section 12.3 of the Indenture, the Purchaser may, from time
to time, sell, assign or otherwise convey any Collateral Obligation included in the Conveyed Collateral to the Seller and such
sale, assignment or conveyance shall be effected in accordance with the requirements of the Collateral Management Agreement on
terms no less favorable to the Issuer than would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated; provided that in the
case of any Collateral Obligation sold or otherwise transferred to a Person so Affiliated, the value thereof shall be the mid-point
between the “bid” and “ask” prices provided by a nationally recognized independent pricing service or,
if unavailable or determined by the Collateral Manager to be unreliable, the fair market value of such Collateral Obligation as
reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager (so long as the Collateral Manager is a Registered Investment Adviser) consistent
with the Collateral Manager Standard, and such Affiliate shall acquire such Collateral Obligation for a price equal to the value
so determined; provided further that an aggregate amount of Collateral Obligations not exceeding 15% of the Net
Purchased Loan Balance may be sold or otherwise transferred to the Seller at a price greater than the value determined pursuant
to the immediately preceding proviso, but not greater than the Transfer Deposit Amount (and to the extent such price exceeds the
fair market value of any such Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed to be a capital contribution from the Seller
to the Purchaser). Upon any such sale, assignment or conveyance of a Collateral Obligation, such Collateral Obligation shall be
deemed removed from Schedule I hereto.

Section 2.4.          Nature
of the Sales.


 


(a)          It
is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Sale of any Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder be, and
be treated for all purposes (other than for accounting and tax purposes) as, an absolute sale by the Seller (free and clear of
any Lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance other than Permitted Liens) of such Sale Portfolio. It is, further, not the
intention of the parties that such Sale be deemed a pledge of any such Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure
a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, any such Sale
Portfolio is held to continue to be property of the Seller, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) this Agreement shall also be
deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the transfer of
any such Sale Portfolio provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a first
priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such
Sale Portfolio and all amounts payable to the holders of the Sale Portfolio 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 Collection Account and the Revolver Funding Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed
to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Sale Portfolio together with all of the other obligations
of the Seller hereunder; (iii) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties) of such Sale Portfolio 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 Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The parties further agree in such event
that any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment
of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent
consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in any Sale Portfolio, 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. The Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement,
all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies
shall be cumulative.


 




     5


     


    

  


(b)          It
is the intention of each of the parties hereto that each Sale Portfolio Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
shall constitute assets owned by the Purchaser and shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of
a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy or similar law.


 


(c)          The
Purchaser agrees to treat, and shall cause the Seller to treat, for all purposes (other than for accounting and tax purposes),
the transactions effected by this Agreement as sales of assets to the Purchaser.


 


Section 2.5.          Delivery
of Documents.


 


The Seller and the Purchaser
acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any transfer document or assignment agreement (or, in the case
of any Underlying Instrument that is in the form of a note, any chain of endorsement) required to be executed and delivered in
connection with the transfer of a Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of any related Underlying Instruments may
reflect that (i) an affiliate of the Seller (or any third party from whom the Seller or the Purchaser may purchase a Collateral
Obligation) is assigning such Collateral Obligation directly to the Purchaser or (ii) the Purchaser is acquiring such Collateral
Obligation at the closing of such Collateral Obligation. Nothing in any such transfer document or assignment agreement (or, in
the case of any Underlying Instrument that is in the form of a note, nothing in such chain of endorsement) shall be deemed to impair
the transfers of the Collateral Obligations by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


Section 2.6.          Interim
Amounts Accruing Prior to Settlement.


 


Certain Collateral Obligations
may be purchased by the Seller from a third party or an affiliate and subsequently Sold to the Purchaser hereunder, which such
Collateral Obligations may settle directly from such third party or affiliate as set forth in Section 2.5. Such Collateral Obligations
may accrue interest or receive principal payments during the time after such acquisition by the Seller but before such conveyance
to the Purchaser hereunder. Any such amounts (the “Interim Amounts”) may be paid directly to the Purchaser from
such third party seller or affiliate (which such payment may be in the form of an adjustment to the purchase price paid at settlement)
and, in such instances, shall be deemed to constitute a capital contribution from the Seller to the Purchaser.


 


ARTICLE III.



CONDITIONS OF SALE AND PURCHASE


 


Section 3.1.          Conditions
Precedent to Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective upon the receipt by the Purchaser of a copy of this Agreement
duly executed by each of the parties hereto.


 




     6


     


    

  


Section 3.2.          Conditions
Precedent to All Purchases. Each Purchase to take place on a subsequent Purchase Date hereunder shall be subject to
the further conditions precedent that the Purchaser shall have received a duly executed and completed Loan Assignment along with
a Schedule I that is true, accurate and complete in all respects as of the related Cut-Off Date.


 


ARTICLE IV.

(q)          Intent

(a)          Valid
Transfer and Security Interest. This Agreement, together with the Loan Assignments, constitutes a valid transfer to the Purchaser
of all right, title and interest in, to and under each Sale Portfolio, free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through
or under the Seller or its Affiliates, except for Permitted Liens. If the conveyances contemplated by this Agreement are determined
to be a transfer for security, then this Agreement constitutes a grant of a security interest in each Sale Portfolio to the Purchaser
which upon the delivery of the Sale Portfolio, in accordance with the definition of “Deliver” under the Indenture,
to the Purchaser (or to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and the filing of the financing
statements shall be a first priority perfected security interest in each such Sale Portfolio, subject only to Permitted Liens.


 


(b)          Eligibility
of Sale Portfolio. (i) Schedule I is an accurate and complete listing of each Sale Portfolio as of the related Cut-Off Date
and the information contained therein with respect to the identity of such Sale Portfolio and the amounts owing thereunder is true
and correct as of the related Cut-Off Date and (ii) with respect to each item of the Sale Portfolio, all consents, licenses, approvals
or authorizations of or registrations or declarations of any governmental authority or any Person required to be obtained, effected
or given by the Seller in connection with the transfer of an ownership interest or security interest in each item of the Sale Portfolio
to the Purchaser have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.


 


It is understood and agreed
that the representations and warranties provided in this Section 4.2 shall survive (x) the Sale of each Sale Portfolio to the Purchaser,
(y) the grant of a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under each Sale Portfolio pursuant to the Indenture by
the Purchaser and (z) the termination of this Agreement and the Indenture. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach
of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof
to the other and to the Trustee immediately upon obtaining knowledge of such breach.


 


Section 4.3.          Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties, on which the Seller relies
in selling each Sale Portfolio to the Purchaser hereunder and each of the Secured Parties relies upon in entering into the Indenture.
As of the Closing Date and each Purchase, the Purchaser represents and warrants to the Seller for the benefit of the Seller and
each of its successors and assigns that:


 


(a)          Organization

company under the laws of the State of Delaware or such other jurisdiction as permitted under the terms of the Transaction Documents,
with the power and authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned
and such business is currently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and has, all necessary power, authority and legal right
to acquire and own each Sale Portfolio.


 




     10


     


    

  


(b)          Due
Qualification. The Purchaser is duly qualified to do business and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all
jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, licenses
and/or approvals.


 


(c)          Power
and Authority; Due Authorization; Execution and Delivery. The Purchaser (i) has all necessary limited liability company power,
authority and legal right to (a) execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
and (b) carry out the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and (ii) has duly authorized
by all necessary limited liability company action the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and the Purchase of each Sale Portfolio on the terms and conditions herein provided. This Agreement
and each other Transaction Document to which the Purchaser is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser.


 


(d)          All
Consents Required. All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders, licenses or other actions of any Person or of any Governmental

Assignment to which the Purchaser is a party have been obtained.


 


(e)          Binding
Obligation. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Purchaser is a party constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its respective terms, except as enforceability
may be limited by the Bankruptcy Code and all other applicable liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, moratorium, rearrangement,
receivership, insolvency, reorganization, suspension of payments, or similar debtor relief laws from time to time in effect affecting
the rights of creditors generally and general principles of equity (whether such enforceability is considered in a suit at law
or in equity).


 


(f)          No
Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Loan Assignment and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof will not (i) conflict with, result in any
breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under,
the Purchaser’s certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or any contractual obligation of the Purchaser,
(ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the Purchaser’s properties
pursuant to the terms of any such contractual obligation, other than this Agreement, or (iii) violate any applicable law.


 


(g)          Value
Given. The Purchaser has given reasonably equivalent value to the Seller in exchange for the Sale of such Sale Portfolio. No
such Sale has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller and no such transfer is or may be voidable or
subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.


 


(h)          No
Proceedings. There is no litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened
against the Purchaser, before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any Loan Assignment or
any other Transaction Document to which the Purchaser is a party, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, any Loan Assignment or any other Transaction Document to which the Purchaser is a party or (iii)
seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

EXHIBIT A


 


FORM OF LOAN ASSIGNMENT


 


LOAN ASSIGNMENT NO. ____,
dated as of ____, from Golub Capital Investment Corporation (the “Seller”) to Golub Capital Investment Corporation
CLO 2016 LLC (the “Purchaser”).


 


(A)         We
refer to the Loan Sale Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2016 (such agreement as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from
time to time, the “Agreement”), by and between the Seller and the Purchaser.


 


(B)         Defined
Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement unless otherwise defined
herein.


 


(C)         Designation
of Collateral Obligations. Seller delivers herewith a computer file or microfiche list or other documentation containing a
true and complete list of the Collateral Obligations Sold and assigned hereunder, identified by account number, the related Obligor
and Principal Balance as of the Cut-Off Date. Such computer file, microfiche list or other documentation shall be as of the date
of this Loan Assignment incorporated into and made part of this Loan Assignment and is marked as Schedule I hereto.


 


(D)         The
Seller does hereby Sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby Purchases from the Seller, all right, title and interest of
the Seller (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) in the Collateral Obligations identified on Schedule I hereto and all related
Assets with respect thereto (the “Sale Portfolio”).


 


(E)         This
Loan Assignment is made without recourse but on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents
to which the Seller is a party. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is accepting this Loan Assignment in reliance
on the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller contained in the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a
party. The undersigned Responsible Officer of the Seller hereby certifies to the Purchaser, the Trustee and the other Secured Parties
that all of the representations and warranties in Section 4.2 of the Agreement are true, accurate and complete as of the
Cut-Off Date.


 


(F)         Ratification

Agreement” and “herein” shall be deemed to be a reference to the Agreement as supplemented by this Loan Assignment.
Except as expressly amended hereby, all the representations, warranties, terms covenants and conditions of the Agreement shall
remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and except as
expressly provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with or consent to non—compliance
with any term or provision of the Agreement.


 




    Ex. A-1


     


    

  


(G)         It
is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Sale of any Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder be, and
be treated for all purposes (other than for accounting and tax purposes) as, an absolute sale by the Seller (free and clear of
any Lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance other than Permitted Liens) of such Sale Portfolio. It is, further, not the
intention of the parties that such Sale be deemed a pledge of any such Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure
a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, any such Sale
Portfolio is held to continue to be property of the Seller, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) the Agreement shall also be
deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the transfer of
any such Sale Portfolio provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a first priority
security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Sale
Portfolio and all amounts payable to the holders of the Sale Portfolio 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 Collection Account and the Revolver Funding Account, whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have
been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Sale Portfolio together with all of the other obligations
of the Seller hereunder; (iii) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties) of such Sale Portfolio 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 Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The parties further agree in such event
that any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment
of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent
consistent with the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in any Sale Portfolio, 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 the Agreement. The Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under the Agreement,
all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies
shall be cumulative.


 


(H)         THIS
LOAN ASSIGNMENT NO. ___ SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE
TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS.
