WHEREAS, Guarantor guaranteed the obligations of Seller under the Repurchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Limited Guaranty, dated as of May 4, 2018 (as heretofore amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Guaranty”), from Guarantor to Buyer; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor and Buyer hereby agree that the Guaranty shall be amended and modified as follows:

1. Amendment of Guaranty. Guarantor and Buyer hereby agree that the Guaranty shall be amended and modified as of the Effective Date as follows:

(a) Section 1 of the Guaranty is hereby amended by inserting the following new definition in correct alphabetical order:

Second Amendment Effective Date” shall mean June 7, 2021.

““Tangible Net Worth” shall mean, with respect to any Person, as of any date of determination, on a consolidated basis, (a) the total tangible assets of such Person, less (b) the total liabilities of such Person, in each case, on or as of such date and as determined in accordance with GAAP, each of which shall be adjusted to exclude the then-current amount of CECL Reserves and other unrealized valuation reserves, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, tangible net worth will reflect realized losses recorded against the equity of any assets of the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries from and after April 1, 2020.”


““Total Equity” shall mean, as of any date of determination, (a) with respect to any Person, the sum of all shareholder equity of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and (b) with respect to Guarantor, (i) the sum of all shareholder equity of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as determined in accordance with GAAP, plus (ii) any other equity instrument(s) issued by such Person or its Subsidiary that is or are classified as temporary equity under GAAP.”

(i) Total Indebtedness to Total Equity. The ratio of (A) Total Indebtedness to (B) Total Adjusted Equity at any time may not exceed 4.25 to 1.0.

(ii) EBITDA. As of any date of determination, the ratio of (A) EBITDA for the period of twelve (12) consecutive months ended on such date (if such date is the last day of a fiscal quarter) or the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such date (if such date is not the last day of a fiscal quarter) to (B) Interest Expense for such period to be less than 1.5 to 1.0.

(iii) Minimum Liquidity. Liquidity at any time shall not be less than the greater of (i) Fifteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00) and (ii) 5% of Guarantor’s Recourse Indebtedness; and

(iv) Tangible Net Worth. Tangible Net Worth at any time shall not be less than the sum of (x) $1,000,000,000.00, plus (y) seventy-five percent (75%) of the proceeds of all equity issuances (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, and other out-of-pocket expenses related to such equity issuances) made by Guarantor or the Sponsor, without duplication, after the Second Amendment Effective Date, minus (z) seventy-five percent (75%) of the book value or net proceeds, as applicable, of any preferred or redeemable equity or stock that is redeemed or repurchased after the Second Amendment Effective Date.”

2. Amendment of Transaction Documents. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Repurchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the “Guaranty” shall be deemed to refer to the Guaranty as amended and modified by this Amendment and as same may be further amended, modified and/or restated.

Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that, as of the date hereof, (i) it has the power to execute, deliver and perform its respective obligations under this Amendment, (ii) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by it for good and valuable consideration, and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy,

insolvency, and other limitations on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles, and (iii) neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, nor compliance by it with the terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) its organizational documents, (B) any contractual obligation to which it is now a party or the rights under which have been assigned to it or the obligations under which have been assumed by it or to which its assets are subject or constitute a default thereunder, or result thereunder in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its assets, other than pursuant to this Amendment, (C) any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court applicable to it, or (D) any applicable Requirement of Law. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11 of the Guaranty remain true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.
