1
Third Amendment to MIA


1.Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the MIA.

2.Amendments to MIA. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of the Parties set forth herein:
(a)    Section 3.2(a) of the MIA is hereby amended by deleting the existing clause (a) thereof in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“(a)    Medley shall have the right to call for DMI I to make one or more additional Capital Contributions into MSF I or MSF II at any time during the period commencing on August 1, 2016 and ending on March 31, 2018 (the “Investment Period”).”
(b)    Section 3.2(d) of the MIA is hereby amended by striking the reference to “seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date” and replacing it with “tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing Date.”
(c)    Section 5.2(b) of the MIA is hereby amended by striking the reference to “seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date” in the first sentence of such section and replacing it with “tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing Date.”

Such amount shall be referred to hereunder as the “May Additional Medley Investment Amount.” The remaining $2,100,000 balance of the $4,100,000 May Medley Contribution shall be referred to as the “May Surplus Medley Capital Contribution.”
(b)    In connection with the Pending DMI I Contribution, the Fortress Investors acknowledge and agree that the May Additional Medley Investment Amount satisfies Medley’s obligations under Section 3.2(b)(v) under the MIA to make an additional Capital Contribution to MSF I equal to at least 25% of the amount of the Pending DMI I Contribution.
(c)    Medley agrees that Medley shall make an additional Capital Contribution to MSF I equal to $1,695,000 (the “Pending Medley Contribution”) on or prior to the Drawdown Date for the Pending DMI I Contribution.
(d)    The Parties further acknowledge and agree that neither the Pending Medley Contribution nor the May Surplus Medley Capital Contribution will be treated as an Additional Medley Investment for purposes of Section 3.2(b)(v) of the MIA, and that such Capital Contributions will not count towards the computation of the $7,000,000 maximum Additional Medley Investment amount set forth in such section or the $10,000,000 maximum aggregate Medley Capital Contributions set forth in such Section.
