We refer to the Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 6, 2024 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined) among Golub Capital BDC, Inc.

You have advised us that the Borrower has requested in a letter dated December 6, 2024 (the “Increase Request”) from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

Pursuant to Section 2.07(e) of the Credit Agreement, Royal Bank of Canada (the “Assuming Lender”), hereby agrees to make Commitments in the amount set forth opposite the name of the Assuming Lender, as listed in Schedule I hereto pursuant to the instruction of the Administrative Agent, such Commitments to be effective as of the Increase Date (as defined in the Increase Request); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed officer’s certificate from the Borrower, dated the Increase Date, in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto. Pursuant to Section 2.07(e)(i)(C) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank hereby consent to the Assuming Lender making the Commitments in the amount specified in the Increase Request and in Schedule I hereto.
