Subject to certain exceptions, the Exchange Notes will be secured by a perfected security interest in the Collateral.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Exchange Notes are secured by perfected liens granted by the Company on certain equity interests in the Company's subsidiaries held by the Company from time to time, as more fully described in the Registration Statement. Subject to certain exceptions described in the Registration Statement, the Company will initially grant liens in the following (collectively with any liens on additional collateral that are granted by the Company from time to time, the "Collateral"): the equity interests the Company holds in (i) Boundary Pref LLC, (ii) Howell Lendco LLC, (iii) Maspen MS I LLC, (iv) Royaltree Lendco, LLC, (v) Terra 370 Lex, LLC, (vi) Terra Driggs, LLC, (vii) Terra Walnut Development, LLC, (viii) Vaspen MS I LLC, (ix) XS Maple LLC, (x) Terra Industrial LLC, (xi) MCM Maxx, LLC, (xii) Terra Mortgage Portfolio I, LLC, (xiii) Terra Mortgage Portfolio II, LLC, (xiv) Fund Financing, LLC, (xv) TPT Special Subsidiary, LLC, (xvi) University Park Lendco, LLC, (xvii) Peachtree Lendco LLC and (xviii) Wonder.
