September 27, 2022 

  Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, as Agent
and each Lender signatory hereto 600 Steamboat Road, Suite 202
Greenwich, CT 06830 Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to (i) the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2021 (including all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and as amended hereby and as may be amended, restated, amended and restated, replaced, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Terra Income Fund 6, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Initial Borrower”), certain funds and accounts managed by Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (“Eagle Point”), as lenders (in such capacity, collectively, the “Lenders”) and Eagle Point as the administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “ Agent”), (ii) the Form S-4 Registration Statement of Terra Property Trust, Inc., as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2022 (as amended on July 13, 2022, the “TPT S-4”) and (iii) the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as filed by the Initial Borrower with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to stockholders of the Initial Borrower on dated July 25, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Initial Borrower has entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 2, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Terra Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“TPT”), the Initial Borrower, Terra Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of TPT (“ Ultimate Borrower”), Terra Income Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Terra REIT Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth therein, the Initial Borrower will merge with and into the Ultimate Borrower (the “Merger”), with the Ultimate Borrower continuing as the surviving entity of the Merger. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the TPT S-4, which describes in further detail the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Proxy Statement notified the stockholders of the Initial Borrower that, among other things, the Initial Borrower’s board of directors, based on the recommendation of an independent special committee, has approved the Merger.

1.    Waiver and Consent.

The Initial Borrower hereby requests that the Agent and Lenders agree to (i) waive their rights pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) of the Credit Agreement to receive an offer to repay
			
	

the Loans and all other Obligations under the Credit Agreement in full as of the date of the Merger, and (ii) waive Section 6(m) (Transactions with Affiliates) of the Credit Agreement, solely to the extent the Merger and the related transactions would constitute a breach thereof and for no other purpose (such request by the Initial Borrower under clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Requested Waiver”).

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5 below, the Agent and the undersigned Lenders, constituting all of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, hereby (A) agree to the Requested Waiver and (B) notwithstanding any other terms or provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document, consent to the Merger and the assumption and assignment by the Ultimate Borrower of all obligations, covenants and agreements of the Initial Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
2.    Notice Regarding Status as a BDC and REIT.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Initial Borrower intends to withdraw its election to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act, as more fully described in the TPT S-4 (the “BDC Election Withdrawal”). The Initial Borrower hereby notifies the Agent in accordance with Section 5(i) (Compliance with Investment Company Act) of the Credit Agreement that the Initial Borrower will approve the BDC Election Withdrawal prior to the consummation of the Merger, and at such time the Initial Borrower will no longer be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act. The Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the forgoing notice and waives the twenty (20) day notice period for such notice as set forth in Section 5(i) (Compliance with Investment Company Act) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

In addition, the Initial Borrower hereby notifies the Agent in accordance with Section 5(q) (Maintenance of REIT Status) of the Credit Agreement that, upon consummation of the Merger, the Ultimate Borrower will notqualify for taxation as a REIT and, accordingly, a REIT Status Termination Date will have occurred. The Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the forgoing notice and waives the twenty (20) day notice period for such notice as set forth in Section 5(q) (Maintenance of REIT Status) of the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, prior the effectiveness of the Merger, the Initial Borrower will, and after the effectiveness of the Merger, the Ultimate Borrower will, at all times during the term of the Credit Agreement maintain a pass-through tax status.

3.    Amendment.

On the Effective Date, Initial Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders, constituting all of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, hereby agree that the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended to:

(a)    delete the defined term “Scheduled Maturity Date” in its entirety and insert the following in lieu thereof:
			
	2

			
	

“Scheduled Maturity Date” means July 1, 2023, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b)    (i) delete the definition of “Make Whole Premium” in its entirety, and (ii) delete Section 2(c) (Optional Prepayments of Loans) of the Credit Agreement in its entirety and insert the following in lieu thereof:

(c)    Optional Prepayments of Loans. The Borrower may voluntarily prepay any Loan, in whole or in part, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, by irrevocable written notice to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least thirty (30) days (but not more than sixty (60) days) prior to the proposed date of prepayment. Any such prepayment of a Loan shall be in a principal amount of at least $500,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess of such amount (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Prepayments in whole pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall not, in and of themselves, constitute a termination of this Agreement by the Borrower.

(c)    insert the parenthetical phrase “(or similar governing body)” immediately following each instance of the phrase “board of directors” in the Credit Agreement.

4.    Borrower Assignment and Assumption.

The Initial Borrower and the Ultimate Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that concurrently with the effectiveness of the Merger, (a) the Initial Borrower will be merged within and into the Ultimate Borrower and the separate corporate existence of the Initial Borrower will thereupon cease, (b) the Ultimate Borrower, by operation of law and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, will be the surviving entity of the Merger and will unconditionally and irrevocably assume, and be deemed to have assumed, the due and punctual performance and observance of each term, covenant and condition applicable to the Initial Borrower as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Transaction Documents, (c) the validity and enforceability of all Liens and security interests heretofore granted, pursuant to and in connection with the Transaction Documents to the Agent, on behalf and for the benefit of the Lenders, as collateral security for the Obligations under the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, after giving effect to this letter agreement) are ratified and reaffirmed by the Ultimate Borrower in accordance with their respective terms from and after the effectiveness of the Merger, and
(d)    all Liens and security interests, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for such Obligations, shall continue to be and remain Collateral for such Obligations from and after the effectiveness of the Merger, and (e) each reference to the “Borrower” and a “Grantor”, as applicable, in the Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will be deemed to refer to the Ultimate Borrower.

The Ultimate Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that from and after the effectiveness of the Merger, the Credit Agreement, as amended by this letter agreement, and the other Transaction Documents are and will continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, are ratified and confirmed by the Ultimate
			
	3

5.    Conditions to Effectiveness.

The effectiveness of this letter agreement, including the amendments set forth in Section 3 above, is subject to reasonable satisfaction, or waiver by the Agent, of the following conditions on or before the closing of the Merger (such date, the “Effective Date”):

(b)    the Initial Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party;

The Initial Borrower hereby (i) further ratifies and reaffirms the validity and enforceability of all Liens and security interests heretofore granted, pursuant to and in connection with the Transaction Documents to the Agent, on behalf and for the benefit of the Lenders, as collateral security for the Obligations under the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, after giving effect to this letter agreement) in accordance with their respective terms, and (ii) acknowledges that all Liens and security interests, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for such Obligations, continue to be and remain Collateral for such Obligations from and after the date hereof (including, without limitation, after giving effect to this letter agreement).

8.    Miscellaneous.
