AGREEMENT
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement but are not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement, unless otherwise stated.
2. Amendments to Loan Agreement. Effective as of the date of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
a. The “Background” section of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the first sentence of such section in its entirety as follows:
“Borrower has requested that Lenders extend credit to it, on a senior secured multi-draw basis, subject to the limitations set forth herein, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $25,000,000, as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.10 and Section 2.14.”
b. Section 1.01 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions in proper alphabetical order:
““Age” means, for any Receivable, a fraction rounded down to the largest integer that does not exceed the fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the Receivable’s origination date until the Determination Date computed on the basis of a 360-day year; and (y) the denominator of which is 30.”
““Atalaya SPV Credit Agreement” means that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated on or about April 15, 2019, by and among the Approved Subsidiary SPV Borrower party thereto, as a borrower, the other credit parties party thereto, Administrative Agent, as the administrative agent for the lenders, and the lenders from time to time parties thereto, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time.”
““First Amendment Effective Date” shall mean April 15, 2019.”
““Monthly Vintage Pool” means, each pool of Receivables originated by an Originator during any calendar month; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Receivable that is subsequently sold or repurchased, shall remain in the applicable Monthly Vintage Pool(s) notwithstanding such sale or repurchase.”
““Weighted Average Lifetime Annualized Net Yield Rate” means, as of any Determination Date and with respect to each Vintage Pool, the weighted average of the Lifetime Annualized Net Yield Rates with respect to each Monthly Vintage Pool in such Vintage Pool (based on the original aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Receivables in such Monthly Vintage Pool).”
c. Section 1.01 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the following definitions in their entirety as follows:
““Ares Facility” means, individually and collectively, (i) the credit facility pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of January 23, 2018, among Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC, Opportunity Financial, LLC, OppWin, Ares and the lenders from time to time parties thereto, and (ii) the credit facility pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of the date of the Atalaya SPV Credit Agreement, among Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, Opportunity Financial, LLC, OppWin, Ares and the lenders from time to time parties thereto, as each may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.”
““LIBOR Rate” means the rate per annum rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1000 of one percent (1.00%) (3 decimal places) equal to the rate of interest which is identified and normally published by Bloomberg Professional Service page USD-LIBOR-ICE (or any equivalent page used by Bloomberg Professional Service from time to time or, if Bloomberg
2
Professional Service no longer reports the rate referred to in this clause (b), another nationally-recognized rate reporting source acceptable to Administrative Agent) as the offered rate for loans in Dollars for a one (1) month period. The rate referred to in clause (b) above will be determined as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of each calendar month. If Bloomberg Professional Service (or another nationally-recognized rate reporting source acceptable to Administrative Agent) no longer reports the rate referred to in the above clause (b) or Administrative Agent determines in good faith that the rate so reported no longer accurately reflects the rate available to Administrative Agent in the London Interbank Market or if such index no longer exists or if page USD-LIBOR-ICE no longer exists or accurately reflects the rate available to Administrative Agent in the London Interbank Market, Administrative Agent may select a comparable replacement index or replacement page, as the case may be, in good faith in its sole discretion, which replacement index or replacement page is applied by Administrative Agent to similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities; provided, that Administrative Agent shall provide written notice to Borrower of any such selection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the LIBOR Rate be less than two percent (2.00%) at any time.”

““Maturity Date” means the earlier to occur of (a) the five year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (b) six (6) months after the date of the latest refinancing or pay-off of a credit facility contemplated by the definition of Ares Facility; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maturity Date shall be no earlier than May 9, 2022.”

““Term Loan Commitment” or “Term Loan Commitments” means (a) as to any Lender, the aggregate commitment of such Lender to make Advances, expressed as an amount representing the maximum aggregate principal
3
amount of such Lender’s credit exposure hereunder, as set forth on Schedule I, as the same may be reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments or participations by or to such Lender pursuant to Section 11.04, and (b) as to all Lenders, the aggregate Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders to make Advances in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Maximum Loan Amount; provided, that, in no event shall the aggregate Term Loan Commitments exceed $25,000,000 unless such amount is increased pursuant to Section 2.10 and Section 2.14.”

e. Section 1.01 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Vintage” in its entirety.

“Section 2.14 Maximum Loan Amount. Upon written request of Borrower at any time and from time to time prior to the thirty six (36) month anniversary of the closing date of the Atalaya SPV Credit Agreement, the Maximum Loan Amount shall be increased by an aggregate amount of up to $25,000,000 with additional Term Loan Commitments from Administrative Agent or Lenders or new Term Loan Commitments from financial institutions acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrower, upon the satisfaction (or waiver, at the sole discretion of Administrative Agent) of the following conditions (and Borrower agrees to cooperate in all respects in connection with the satisfaction of such conditions):

g. Section 7.03 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Section 7.03 Weighted Average Lifetime Annualized Net Yield. As of the last day of each calendar month, Borrower shall not permit the Weighted Average Lifetime Annualized Net Yield with respect to any Vintage Pool to be less than 70.00%; provided, however, a Vintage Pool shall not be tested until each Monthly Vintage Pool in such Vintage Pool is at least one (1) calendar month old (as measured from the last day such Monthly Vintage Pool).”
