Note 4 – Repurchase Agreements and Credit Facilities

Commercial Mortgage Loans

On February 15, 2018, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a master repurchase agreement (the “CF Repo Facility”) with Column Financial, Inc. as administrative agent for certain of its affiliates. As the Company’s business has grown, it has increased the borrowing limit and extended the maturity. The most recent extension was in June 2022 for a twelve-month term and the maximum advance amount was increased to $450,000. Advances under the CF Repo Facility accrue interest at a per annum annual rate equal to the one-month term USD Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.75% to 2.50% with a 0.15% to 0.75% floor. The CF Repo Facility is subject to certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

On May 6, 2019, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an uncommitted master repurchase agreement (the “JPM Repo Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association ("JPM"). The JPM Repo Facility provides up to $150,000 in advances that the Company expects to use to finance the acquisition or origination of eligible loans and participation interests therein. Advances made prior to December 2021 under the JPM Repo Facility accrue interest at per annum rates equal to the sum of (i) the applicable one-month USD London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) index rate plus (ii) a margin of between 1.75% to 2.50% with no floor, depending on the attributes of the purchased assets. Advances made subsequent to December 2021 under the JPM Repo Facility accrue interest at per annum rates equal to the sum of SOFR plus an agreed upon margin. As of September 30, 2022, 39% of the advances made under the JPM Repo Facility were indexed to SOFR and have margins between 1.85% and 2.50% with a 0.10% floor. In May 2022, the maturity date of the JPM Repo Facility was extended to May 6, 2023. The JPM Repo Facility is subject to certain financial covenants. One of the covenants requires that the ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) to Fixed Charges, defined as preferred dividends plus interest expense per the JPM Repo Facility agreement, should not fall below 150% on a trailing four quarter basis. As of September 30, 2022, the EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio for the trailing four quarters was 144%. JPM agreed to waive this covenant as of September 30, 2022. As a result, the company was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

On March 10, 2021, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a loan and security agreement and a promissory note (collectively, the “WA Credit Facility”) with Western Alliance Bank (“Western Alliance”). The WA Credit Facility provides for loan advances up to the lesser of $75,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing base consists of eligible assets pledged to and accepted by Western Alliance in its discretion up to the lower of (i) 60% to 70% of loan-to-unpaid balance or (ii) 45% to 50% of the loan-to-appraised value (depending on the property type underlying the asset, for both (i) and (ii)). Assets that would otherwise be eligible become ineligible after being pledged as part of the borrowing base for 36 months. Advances under the WA Credit Facility accrue interest at an annual rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 3.25% with a floor of 4.0%. The initial maturity date of the WA Credit Facility is March 10, 2023. The Company has an option to convert the loan made pursuant to the WA Credit Facility upon its initial maturity to a term loan with the same interest rate and floor and a maturity of two years in exchange for, among other things, a conversion fee of 0.25% of the outstanding amount at the time of conversion. The WA Credit Facility requires maintenance of an average unrestricted aggregate deposit account balance with Western Alliance of not less than $3,750. Failure to meet the minimum deposit balance will result in, among other things, the interest rate of the WA Credit Facility increasing by 0.25% per annum for each quarter in which the

compensating balances are not maintained. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The JPM Repo Facility, CF Repo Facility and WA Credit Facility (collectively, the “Facilities”) are used to finance eligible loans and each act in the manner of a revolving credit facility that can be repaid as the Company’s assets are paid off and re-drawn as advances against new assets.

The tables below show the Facilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
