PROFITS INTEREST PLAN

OppFi Management Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), has adopted this OppFi Management Holdings, LLC Profits Interest Plan (“Plan”), as of January 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), as an amendment and restatement, assumption, and continuation of the Opportunity Financial, LLC Profits Interest Plan (the “Affiliate Plan”), previously adopted by Opportunity Financial, LLC (the “Affiliate”).

The Plan is for the benefit of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ eligible employees, members, managers, representatives or contractors that provide substantial services to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries for the benefit of the Company. The Plan covers Awards previously granted under the Affiliate Plan to continuing employees and members which are deemed assumed and continued under this Plan as of the Effective Date and allows for new Awards to eligible service providers. Awards made under the Affiliate Plan to former employees, members, and other service providers shall continue in effect under the Affiliate Plan subject to the terms thereof.

The purpose of this Plan is to provide eligible persons with an opportunity to participate in the Company’s future through Awards of Class A Shares, so as to enhance the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ ability to recruit and retain individuals of exceptional talent to contribute to the sustained progress, growth and profitability of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Pursuant to this Plan, Participants (as defined below) are granted an award of Class A Shares (each an “Award” and collectively, the “Awards”) and thereby become Class A Members of the Company. The Class A Shares so acquired shall be governed by, and will be subject to, the transfer and other restrictions contained in (a) this Plan, (b) an award agreement to be executed by and between the Company and each such Participant (including exhibits thereto), and (c) the LLC Agreement.

6.5 Compliance with Laws. This Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under this Plan, the issuance and delivery of Class A Shares pursuant to the Awards, and the payment of money under this Plan or under the Awards granted hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to, state and federal securities law and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.
