 WHEREAS, the Borrower has entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated
Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of the date of this Security Agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), with the Lender and the other

 WHEREAS, in connection with
the Credit Agreement, the Lender has required that each Pledgor grant a security interest in its respective Collateral (as hereinafter defined) to the Lender as security for the Obligations; and 

WHEREAS, each Pledgor has agreed to grant such security interest on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 












 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and to induce the Lender to enter
into the Credit Agreement and carry out its obligations thereunder, and other good and valuable consideration, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Defined Terms. 
 (a)
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) The
following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below or in the Sections of this Security Agreement as indicated below: 

“Collateral” has the meaning specified in Section 2(a). 

“Fee Payment Date” has the meaning specified in Section 3. 

“Lender” has the meaning specified in the preamble hereto. 

“Pledgor” has the meaning specified in the preamble hereto. 

“Security Agreement” has the meaning specified in the preamble hereto. 

“UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York (the

Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, then the term “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in such other jurisdiction or jurisdictions for purposes of the provisions
hereof relating to perfection or priority. 
 (c) As used herein, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein or in the Credit Agreement
shall have the meaning set forth in Article 9 of the New York UCC. 
 2. Grant of Security Interest. 

(a) Each Pledgor, as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of the Obligations, hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in all of such Pledgor’s right, title, and interest and benefit in, to and under the following, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or
arising and wheresoever located, including all accessions thereto and products thereof (all of which being hereinafter collectively called the “Collateral”): 

(i) the Equity Interests in the Underlying Investment Funds, in each case together with the certificates (or other agreements
or instruments), if any, representing such Equity Interests, and all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, with respect thereto; 

  
 2 













 (ii) the Acquisition Documents; 

(iii) all other Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, General Intangibles, Instruments, Investment Property, Money, Deposit
Accounts, Goods, Commercial Tort Claims, Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit Rights and Supporting Obligations; 
 (iv) all
Proceeds of the property described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii); and

 For the avoidance of doubt,
“Collateral” shall not include (A) any Equity Interests in any Underlying Investment Fund that becomes subject to a Severed EDA (as defined in the Economic Direction Agreement), or (ii) any Severed EDA. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral include, and no Pledgor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, any of such Pledgor’s rights or interests in or under (i) any license, contract, permit, Instrument or
security to which such Pledgor is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under the terms of such license, contract, permit, Instrument or security, result in a breach of
the terms of, or constitute a default under, such license, contract, permit, Instrument or security (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to the UCC or any other applicable law or principles of equity);
provided, that immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such provision the Collateral shall include, and such Pledgor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all such rights and interests as if such provision
had never been in effect, (ii) Equity Interests of any Subsidiary thereof that is not organized under the laws of a political subdivision of the United States to the extent such Equity Interests exceed 65% of the issued and outstanding Equity
Interests of such Subsidiary or (iii) any Underlying Investment Fund that becomes subject to a Severed EDA (as defined in the Economic Direction Agreement). 

(b) The security interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Lender or to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any
obligation or liability of any Pledgor with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith. 
 (c) Each Pledgor
authorizes the Lender, as second lien lender, to file, in its discretion, in jurisdictions where this authorization will be given effect, a financing statement or amendments thereof or supplements thereto or other instruments as the Lender may from
time to time deem necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interests granted by such Pledgor hereunder in accordance with the UCC (including authorization to describe the Collateral as “all personal property”,
“all assets” or words of similar meaning).

business and (B) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Security Agreement, and (iii) is duly qualified and is licensed and, as applicable, in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or

perfected by filing UCC-1 financing statements in the State of Delaware, and following delivery of any certificates and related powers required pursuant to Section 5(e), such security

Pledgor’s expense.

 6. Rights and Remedies of the Lender and Rights of the Pledgors Related to
Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Obligations have been declared immediately due and payable, the Lender may take any one or more of the following actions, in each case subject to the terms of
the Economic Direction Agreement and the Subordination Agreement: 
 (a) exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to
it in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under any other applicable law, as the same may from time to
time be in effect; 
 (b) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Lender or its nominee and notify the parties
obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Lender of any amount due or to become due thereunder; 
 (c) enforce collection of
any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligation of any nature of any party with
respect thereto and exercise all other rights of any Pledgor in any of the Collateral; 
 (d) take possession or control of any proceeds of
the Collateral (including dispositions and distributions with respect to any Equity Interests held directly by any Pledgor comprising the Collateral); 

(e) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Pledgor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or
transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral; 
 (f) exercise such rights as may be granted to the Lender under the Organization
Documents of any Pledgor; and 
 (g) perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to protect the Lender’s rights and interest
hereunder. 
 In addition to the above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the Lender to
the applicable Pledgor, the Lender or its nominee or nominees shall have the right (and upon the payment in full of the Senior Loan and the termination of the Senior Loan Documents and otherwise in accordance with the Subordination Agreement, the
sole and exclusive right) to exercise all voting and consensual powers pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof, exercising such powers in such manner as the Lender may elect. 

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all of its voting and
other consensual rights pertaining to its respective Collateral or any part thereof and to use, transfer and dispose of such Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Security Agreement. 

  
 7 













 The rights of the Lender hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit
by the Lender of any right or remedy against any Pledgor or against any other Person that may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any other collateral security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of
offset with respect thereto. The Lender shall be under no obligation to collect, attempt to collect, protect or enforce the Collateral or any security therefor, or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Pledgor or any other
Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, which each Pledgor agrees and undertakes to do at such Pledgor’s expense, but the Lender may do so in its discretion at any time when an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and at such time the Lender shall have the right to take any steps by judicial process or otherwise it may deem proper to effect the collection of all or any portion of the Collateral or to protect or to
enforce the Collateral or any security therefor. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
incurred or paid by the Lender in connection with or incident to any such collection or attempt to collect the Collateral of any Pledgor or actions to enforce the Collateral of any Pledgor or any security therefor shall be borne by such Pledgor or
reimbursed by such Pledgor to the Lender upon demand. The proceeds received by the Lender as a result of any such actions in collecting or enforcing or protecting the Collateral shall be held by the Lender without liability for interest thereon and
shall be applied by the Lender as the Lender may deem appropriate toward payment of any of the Obligations in such order or manner as the Lender may elect in accordance with Section 8. Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that
such Pledgor’s assets are of a special nature and that proceeds realized upon the disposition of the Collateral or any other property of such Pledgor may be significantly below the market value of such assets without being “commercially
unreasonable” given the limited liquidity of such assets and other restrictions applicable thereto. 
 7. Further Assurances.
Each Pledgor at any time and from time to time, upon written request of the Lender and the sole expense of such Pledgor, shall promptly and duly execute and deliver (or cause the prompt and due execution and delivery of) any and all such further
instruments and documents and take such further action as the Lender may reasonably request to negotiate and otherwise effect the disposition of any Collateral, including, without limitation, executing and delivering proxies and stock powers, in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Lender, with respect to the Collateral promptly after (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of) written request by the Lender. 

8. Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Subordination Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, the proceeds and avails of the Collateral at any time received by the Lender and any funds or payments received by the Lender, when received by the Lender in cash or its equivalent, shall be applied by the Lender to the payment and
satisfaction of the Obligations as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Lender shall promptly notify the Pledgors of each such application, including the amount and nature of the Obligations paid with such proceeds. 

9. The Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

 Each Pledgor shall on the date hereof execute and deliver the Irrevocable Limited Power of Attorney in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A in favor of the Lender and shall, upon request, promptly execute and deliver replacement Irrevocable Limited Powers of Attorney in favor of any successors, assigns or replacements of the Lender.

 10. Lien Absolute. All rights of the Lender hereunder, and all obligations of each
Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, document or instrument governing or evidencing any Obligations; 
 (b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Obligations, any other Loan Document or any other agreement
or instrument governing or evidencing any Obligations; 
 (c) any exchange, release or
non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or 

(d) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor (other than full payment or
satisfaction of the Obligations). 
 11. Release of Collateral Covered by this Security Agreement. 

(a) This Security Agreement and the security interests and all related rights and powers granted or created hereunder shall terminate upon the
payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued). 
 (b) Upon (i) any sale or
other transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral in a transaction permitted hereunder or (ii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under this Security Agreement in any Collateral in accordance
with Section 15 hereof, the security interest in such Collateral created by this Security Agreement shall be automatically released. 

(c) Upon the termination of this Security Agreement as provided in clause (a) above, or the release of Collateral as provided in clause
(b) above, the Lender shall, at the Pledgors’ request and expense, take all actions reasonably requested to confirm the termination of all rights, powers and interests under this Security Agreement and the release of the Collateral (to the
extent released) from the security interests granted or created hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of termination statements and releases and, where appropriate, the return of physical possession and control of such
Collateral. 
 12. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should
any petition be filed by or against any Pledgor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Pledgor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of
any Pledgor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or
must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that
any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 14.
Severability. Each provision of this Security Agreement shall be considered severable, and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such
invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Security Agreement that are valid, enforceable and legal. 

15. Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the
Lender or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Lender from time to time. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Lender under this Security Agreement shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval shall require any
similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. 
 (b) Neither this Security Agreement nor any provision hereof
may be waived, amended or modified except with the written consent of all parties hereto. 
 16. Successors and Assigns. This

 EXHIBIT A 

FORM OF POWER OF ATTORNEY 

IRREVOCABLE LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY 

[PLEDGOR], a Delaware statutory trust (the “Pledgor”), appoints pursuant to the terms of this Irrevocable Limited Power of
Attorney, [SECURED PARTY] (“Lender”) as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact on and as of [date]. 

This power of attorney is given pursuant and subject to (i) that certain Second Amended and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated
as of August 13, 2020 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), between Beneficient Capital Company, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Borrower”), the Lender and the other Persons party thereto and (ii) that certain Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2020, by and among Pledgor, certain other trusts party thereto, the
Borrower and the Lender (the “Security Agreement”), to which reference is made for the definition of all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein. 

Now therefore, Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender, with full power of substitution, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of Pledgor, to execute, acknowledge, verify, swear to, deliver, record and file, in its or its assignee’s name, place and stead, all
instruments, documents and certificates and to provide any consents or approvals that may from time to time be advisable or required (i) by the laws of the United States of America, the State of Delaware, the State of New York, and any other
jurisdiction in which Pledgor conducts or plans to conduct its affairs, or any political subdivision or agency thereof or (ii) pursuant to the organizational documents of Pledgor, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), to
(x) negotiate, execute, effectuate and otherwise implement all agreements, instruments and other documents or deliverables for the sale, transfer or other disposition of any and all interests (each an “Interest” and
collectively the “Interests”) in various investment entities (each, an 
 “Underlying Investment Fund” and collectively,
the “Underlying Investment Funds”) as listed on Schedule 1.01B to the Credit Agreement, in each case subject to the rights of the underlying issuers of such equity interests in investment funds and other interests in investments
with respect to the transfer, sale, lien or other disposition or encumbrance with respect to any and all such assets (including the terms and provisions of any consent to pledge and any organization documents relating to such investments), (y)
specify the accounts and wire instructions to the Underlying Investment Funds for payment of all distributions and proceeds on the Interests and (z) perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to protect Lender’s rights and
interests in any Interests. 
 The power of attorney granted herein is coupled with an interest. This power of attorney shall be
irrevocable, shall survive and not be affected by the dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency of Pledgor, or any appointment of a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person, and
shall extend to its successors and assigns. This power of attorney may be exercised by such attorney-in-fact and agent for Pledgor by a single signature of an officer of
the Lender.     

  
 A-1 













 Any person dealing with Pledgor may conclusively presume and rely upon the fact that any
instrument referred to above, executed by such attorney-in-fact and agent, is authorized, regular and binding, without further inquiry. If requested, Pledgor shall duly
execute and deliver to the Lender within four (4) Business Days after the receipt of a request therefor, such further designations, powers of attorney, or other instruments and documents as the Lender shall reasonably deem advisable or
necessary to effect any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Interests and any proceeds thereof, consistent with the terms of the organization documents of the applicable Underlying Investment Fund. 

This power of attorney shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

As between Pledgor and the Lender, this Irrevocable Limited Power of Attorney shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall remain in
full force and effect thereafter until a written notice of termination hereof shall have been executed by the Lender and delivered to Pledgor. The expiration or revocation of the period of agency hereunder shall in no way affect the validity of any
actions of said attorney-in-fact during said period.     

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that (a) this document is executed and delivered by
Delaware Trust Company, not individually or personally, but solely as Trustee, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, pursuant to the Trust Agreement of the Pledgor, (b) each of the representations, undertakings
and agreements herein made on the part of the Pledgor is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Delaware Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose for binding only the Pledgor, (c) nothing
herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Delaware Trust Company, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived, and
(d) under no circumstances shall Delaware Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Pledgor or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or
undertaken by the Pledgor under this document or any other related documents.
