Additionally, the amendment introduces a default event if 95% of eligible solar loans are not transacted within 60 days from the amendment's effective date. It also stipulates that cash flow must prioritize repaying advances, thus preventing lower-level payments and cash distributions by the borrower. Moreover, proceeds from transactions must be applied to fully repay advances.

The amendment also sets a March 31, 2025 deadline for either restructuring affiliated services or securing third-party vendors for billing, collections, and operations & maintenance services. Borrowing conditions now require consent from the applicable funding agent, except for partially or final stage solar loans. Administrative consent is necessary for any solar loan transfers or dispositions, and lender consent is needed for transactions that do not result in full repayment.

Furthermore, an amortization event related to solar loan origination commitment and levels has been removed. Other amendments as detailed in the amendment are also included. As a prerequisite for the amendment's effectiveness, $500,000 was deposited into the Liquidity Reserve Account.
