In response to Pre-Qualification Requests through the Advertiser API, Advertiser will notify Company of the offers Advertiser determines are available to the Company Customer for pre-qualification in accordance with the Advertiser’s or Upstart Partner’s, as applicable, then-current pre-qualification evaluation criteria, consistently applied (the “Pre-Qualified Offers”), and Company will use its reasonable best efforts to display such Pre-Qualified Offers to the Company Customer (“Stage 2”). Following Stage 2, the Company Customer will be presented the opportunity to choose to apply for any Pre-Qualified Offer with Advertiser or Upstart Partner. |
3
(b) | Pre-Qualified Offers. For the avoidance of doubt, the content of the Pre-Qualified Offers shall be considered “Promotional Materials” under Sec. 1.18 of the Agreement. Any changes to Promotional Materials shall be made according to the process document attached hereto as Exhibit C, with which both parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply. |
(c) | Customer Data. The parties agree that Customer Data submitted at Stage 1 shall remain the sole property of Company, and shall be deemed Company’s Confidential Information under the terms of the Agreement unless and until the Company Customer submits an Application through the Advertiser Website, following Stage 2, and until then, Advertiser shall not disclose, share, rent, sell, or transfer to any third party such Customer Data, and Advertiser shall not use such Customer Data for any purpose other than processing the Pre-Qualification Request as described herein.

Advertiser understands that the Customer Data is verified solely by the Company Customer and provided to Advertiser on the Company Customer’s behalf, and Company makes no warranties as to the accuracy of such Customer Data and expressly disclaims any liability with respect thereto. In no event shall Company be liable for inaccuracies or omissions in the Customer Data. For the avoidance of doubt, a rate request on the Advertiser site is an “Application” for the purposes of this Section 2.3. |
(d) | Advertiser API. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Advertiser grants Company a nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, revocable license to the Advertiser API during the Term solely to facilitate access to Pre-Qualified Offers. Both parties acknowledge that Advertiser does not provide any warranties or indemnification for the API or any applicable documentation (“Licensed Material”). Company may not: (a) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Licensed Material (b) sell, assign, license, disclose, or otherwise transfer or make available the Licensed Material or any copies of the Licensed Material in any form to any third parties; or (c) remove or alter any proprietary notices or marks on the Licensed Material. |
(e) | Unavailability. In the event Advertiser’s API or other mutually agreeable processing mechanism for Pre-Qualification Requests is Unavailable (as defined below) for at least fifteen (15) minutes but less than one hour, Advertiser shall notify Company as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours of the interruption. In the event Advertiser is Unavailable for more than one (1) hour, Advertiser shall notify Company immediately. For purposes of this subsection, notification of Company’s designated primary contact person by e-mail or phone shall be deemed sufficient, so long as receipt is acknowledged. For the purposes of this paragraph (e), “Unavailable” means that Advertiser’s processes that are required to accept and/or return a response to a Pre- Qualification Request are experiencing severe performance degradation, inaccessibility, or inoperability. |

2.4. Lightbox Offers. In the event that Advertiser and Company mutually determine that the Promotion may include the display of Advertiser Products to Company Customers via Company’s integrated targeting process by which the Company will process certain Customer Data through Advertiser’s Model(s) (as defined below) hosted in Company’s environment, before delivering the result, together with certain Customer Data, to Advertiser, such process being referred to herein as “Lightbox,” this Section 2.4 shall apply.
(a) | License and Delivery of Model(s) and Updates. |
i. | Prior to launch of the Promotion for any Advertiser Product via Lightbox, Advertiser shall securely deliver to Company, or develop in Company’s model-building environment (“MBE”), software code that will apply Advertiser’s targeting criteria, Model(s) and other requirements for a particular Advertiser Product to a Company Customer (collectively, the “Model(s)”) in an electronic format to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. |

For purposes of clarification, Advertiser retains all right, title and interest in and to the Model(s) including any reproductions and/or derivative works based upon the Model(s), excluding the Lightbox Result, defined below (collectively, “Advertiser Intellectual Property”) and nothing in this Agreement shall (or shall be construed to) restrict, impair, transfer, license, convey or otherwise alter or deprive Advertiser of any of its rights or proprietary interests in any intellectual property, content, data, information or any other materials or rights, tangible or intangible. Such Advertiser Intellectual Property will be considered Advertiser’s Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement. |
v. | Advertiser shall not permit any personnel of Upstart Partner to gain access to the MBE unless such access is authorized by Company in writing, and Advertiser’s breach of the foregoing constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. |
(b) | Lightbox Process. The Parties agree that the Company may display the Promotion to Company Customers via the Lightbox process. |
i. | During the Lightbox process, Company will submit Customer Data for processing through the Model(s) hosted on Company’s servers or on cloud servers controlled by Company, which will return the result to Company (the “Lightbox Result”). |

ii. | During the Term, upon Advertiser’s request, but not more than once per calendar month, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide an audit log in connection with access to Advertiser’s Model (the “Audit Log”). The Audit Log shall include the user name, time of access, and object that was accessed. |
iii. | Company may then present a Company Customer with an invitation to apply for Advertiser Products, labelled with a badge indicating the Lightbox Result by designating the offer as “pre-approved,” “excellent,” or some other designation to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (“Lightbox Offer”). |
iv. | If the Company Customer elects to pursue a Lightbox Offer, Company may then forward such Company Customer’s Customer Data, coupled with such Company Customer’s Lightbox Result, to Advertiser on Company Customers’ behalf, in the form of a pre-filled application form or otherwise (“Lightbox Stage 1”). |
v. | If and when the Company Customer completes the Application and submits it through the Advertiser Website, Advertiser will then process the Company Customer’s Application and present a final result to the Company Customer as to whether or not the Company Customer is finally approved for the Lightbox Offer via Advertiser Website (“Lightbox Stage 2”). |
vi. | In order to present the foregoing final approval or decline result, Advertiser shall independently pull the Company Customer’s consumer report from a third party credit bureau, and will not consider the Lightbox Result to approve or deny credit to such Company Customer. |
(c) | Customer Data. |
i. | The Parties agree that the Lightbox Result and the Customer Data submitted at Lightbox Stage 1 shall remain the sole property of Company and shall be deemed Company’s Confidential Information under the terms of the Agreement. Unless and until the Company Customer submits an Application through the Advertiser Website at Lightbox Stage 2, Advertiser shall not disclose, share, rent, sell, or transfer to any third party such Lightbox Result and Customer Data, and Advertiser shall not use such Lightbox Result and Customer Data for any purpose other than processing the Lightbox request as described herein. Advertiser shall not assume any ownership of the Lightbox Result and the Customer Data unless and until the Company Customer submits an Application through the Advertiser Website at Lightbox Stage 2. |
ii. | For the avoidance of doubt, Customer Data submitted to Advertiser for any purpose prior to the Company Customer submitting an Application through the Advertiser Website shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Company, and Advertiser shall not disclose, share, rent, sell, or transfer to any third party such Customer Data. |
iii. | Advertiser understands that the Customer Data is verified solely by the Company Customer and provided to Advertiser on the Company |
6
Customer’s behalf, and Company makes no warranties as to the accuracy of such Customer Data and expressly disclaims any liability with respect thereto. In no event shall Company be liable for inaccuracies or omissions in the Lightbox Result and the Customer Data, except to the extent such inaccuracies or omissions were introduced by Company’s actions or omissions. |
(d) | Campaign Data. During its performance under this Agreement, Company may disclose to Advertiser (i) certain aggregated and/or real-time reporting data on Model(s) performance and campaign delivery and/or (ii) data provided via Company’s secure model-building environment (collectively, “Campaign Data”). Campaign Data shall include any information derived from, or reverse-engineered from, aggregated reporting data on Model(s) performance and campaign delivery disclosed to Advertiser. Advertiser hereby agrees, with respect to Campaign Data: |

4. Customer Privacy and Confidentiality of Information. Each party will at all times comply with applicable online privacy policies and procedures as required by Law. Each party will post a privacy policy or a link thereto on the home page of its site and on each page of its site where it collects personally identifiable information from its users. Each party shall be solely responsible for any and all third party Claims arising out of its online privacy policy or the failure to comply with its online privacy policy, except to the extent any third party Claim against a Party relates to the other party’s breach of it representations, warranty or covenant hereunder.
4.1. Confidential Information. Each party and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, authorized representatives, agents and advisors (including without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) shall keep confidential all information concerning the other party’s proprietary business procedures, products, services, operations, marketing materials, fees, policies or plans and all Nonpublic Personal Information of the other party that is received or obtained during the negotiation or performance of the Agreement, whether such information is oral or written, and whether or not labeled as confidential by such party (collectively “Confidential Information”). “Nonpublic Personal Information” shall include all personally identifiable financial information and any list, description or other grouping of consumers, and publicly available information pertaining to them, that is derived using any personally identifiable financial information that is not publicly available, and shall further include all “nonpublic personal information” as defined by federal regulations implementing the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act, as amended from time to time. “Personally identifiable financial information” means any information a consumer provides to a party in order to obtain a financial product or service, any information a party otherwise obtains about a consumer in connection with providing a financial product or service to that consumer, and any information about a consumer resulting from any transaction involving a financial product or service between a party and a consumer.

8
extent permitted by Law, promptly notify disclosing party of such required disclosure, (ii) reasonably cooperate with disclosing party to seek confidential treatment of any information that it is required to disclose and (iii) only disclose such portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally required, in the opinion of counsel, to disclose. Any Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall continue to be deemed Confidential Information hereunder. Neither party shall disclose, share, rent, sell or transfer to any third party any Confidential Information. The parties shall use Confidential Information only as necessary to perform this Agreement. Advertiser will not use the Nonpublic Personal Information for any purpose other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each party shall treat any Nonpublic Personal Information that it receives from the other party in a manner that is fully compliant with the disclosing party’s obligations under Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act and any implementing regulations thereunder, including but not limited to applicable limits on the use, disclosure, storage, safeguarding and destruction of Nonpublic Personal Information. In addition, any party receiving Nonpublic Personal Information shall maintain commercially reasonable data security and disaster recovery protections that at the least are consistent with industry standards for the consumer lending industry. Company represents and warrants that the Click ID is not Nonpublic Personal Information. Company agrees to maintain physical and logical security measures to prevent unauthorized tying of its Click IDs to Nonpublic Personal Information. Each party will, and will require its agents and representatives to, implement and maintain an appropriate security program, firewall and other measures that conform to industry best practices for the Confidential Information (including Nonpublic Personal Information) to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the Confidential Information, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Confidential Information, and (c) prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Confidential Information.

From time to time, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notification and no more than once annually, each party shall have the right to audit (or have its independent auditor audit), at the auditing party’s expense, the other party’s (and the other party’s representatives’ and agents’) compliance with the foregoing security requirements. Each party shall, and shall cause its representatives and agents to, reasonably cooperate with the auditing party and any auditing party requests in conjunction with all such audits including, but not limited to requests to correct any deficiencies discovered during such audits within a period of time mutually agreed upon, until such deficiencies are corrected. Each party’s obligation to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.2, shall, in no event, be deemed contingent upon, or otherwise affected by, the other party’s audit rights. In the event of any data breach, the parties shall comply with all applicable requirements under state and federal law with respect to notification of Company Customers. Each party shall treat any information related to a data breach affecting the other party’s customers as Confidential Information, including but not limited to the fact that such a breach has occurred.
4.3. Return of Information. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, or upon request, the receiving party shall promptly return all Confidential Information received in connection with the transaction, or shall promptly destroy any materials containing such information (and any copies, extracts, and summaries thereof) and shall provide the disclosing party with written confirmation of such return or destruction upon request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party shall not be required to destroy any automated archival backup of such Confidential Information to the extent (i) such destruction is not reasonably practicable or (ii) as required by applicable Law. Each party shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or equity, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of this Section 4. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the destruction of the Model(s) is reasonably practicable and shall be promptly destroyed unless such destruction would violate applicable Law.
9
4.4. Upstart Partners. Advertiser shall ensure that any receipt or use by an Upstart Partner of any Confidential Information or Nonpublic Personal Information provided by Company pursuant to this Agreement comports with the restrictions and obligations in this Section 4. To the extent that Company Nonpublic Personal Information later becomes the Nonpublic Personal Information of an Upstart Partner, Advertiser will contract with Upstart Partners to ensure compliance with applicable Law.
5. REPORTING. Advertiser will deliver to Company a daily month-to-date report detailing certain user-level data regarding the performance of the Promotion, at minimum to include fields specified in Exhibit B. The form of such reports shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties in advance. In no event will any of the reporting contain any Nonpublic Personal Information of a customer of Advertiser or Upstart Partner. To the extent either party reasonably determines that the sharing of any such information does not comply with applicable Law, then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to share such other information that is legally permitted to achieve the anticipated practical benefits intended by the information sharing.
6. CONTENT AND TRADEMARK LICENSES.
6.1. Trademark License by Advertiser. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Advertiser hereby grants Company a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non- sublicenseable license during the Term to use Advertiser’s Marks solely to perform activities and obligations contemplated under this Agreement.

Advertiser expressly acknowledges Company’s sole and exclusive ownership of its trademarks and agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such ownership. Advertiser agrees further to take such additional actions, at Company’s expense, as Company deems reasonably necessary to establish and/or preserve Company’s exclusive rights in and to its Marks. Advertiser agrees not to form any combination marks with Company’s Marks, or adopt, use or attempt to register any trademarks, service marks or trade names that are confusingly similar to Company’s trademarks. All uses by Advertiser of Company’s Marks shall inure to the benefit of, and be on behalf of, Company.

The parties will investigate and resolve any dispute in a timely and reasonable manner.
8.3. Records; Audit. Each of Company and Advertiser will maintain accurate and complete records of all information necessary to determine compliance with this Agreement and the covenants and obligations hereunder.

During the Records Period, each of Company and Advertiser shall have the right, upon ten (10) business days prior written notice, no more than once in any 12 month period unless the auditing party reasonably suspects the other party is in breach of this Agreement, at such party’s expense, to engage a third party auditor (provided such auditor has executed a customary confidentiality agreement) or to designate certain of its employees to review such records of the other party during normal business hours, to determine compliance with its obligations under this Agreement (each, an “Audit”).

EXHIBIT A
MARKETING FEE
1. Definitions. For the purposes of this Exhibit A, the terms in this section shall have the following definitions:
a. | “Credit Score” means a Company Customer’s Transunion VantageScore as verified by Company; |
b. | “Gross Issued Loan Amount” means the total amount of the Funded Loan, inclusive of origination or other fees; |
c. | “Lightbox” shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. |
2. Marketing Fees. Advertiser shall pay Company for each Funded Loan according to the following schedule (each a “Marketing Fee”):
a. | For Funded Loans of less than or equal to $35,000.00, the Marketing Fee per Funded Loan shall be the greater of (i) $100.00, or (ii) 2.95% of the Gross Issued Loan Amount. |
b. | For Funded Loans of more than $35,000.00, the Marketing Fee per Funded Loan shall be $1,032.50, plus 1.00% of the Gross Issued Loan Amount above $35,000.00. |
3. Discounts. The following discount schedule and additional terms shall apply to the above Marketing Fees (collectively, the “Discounts”):
a. | Platform Coverage Discount. Advertiser shall receive a 35% discount to the Marketing Fee for Funded Loans to Company Customers with Credit Scores below 580. |
b. | Lightbox Discount. For Funded Loans originated via the Lightbox platform, Advertiser is eligible for the following discounts: |
i. | For Lightbox offers labeled “Pre-approved”, Advertiser is eligible for a 10% discount off the Marketing Fee. |
ii. | For Lightbox offers labeled “Pre-selected”, Advertiser is eligible for a 5% discount off the Marketing Fee. |
iii. | For Lightbox offers labeled “Excellent”, Advertiser is not eligible for a Lightbox Discount. |
4. Calculation of Discounts. For Funded Loans where more than one Discount is applicable, the Discounts shall be applied sequentially. In these cases, each additional Discount after the initial Discount shall be applied to the Marketing Fee adjusted for the previously applied Discounts. (For example, in the event of a Funded Loan obtained through a Lightbox offer labeled “Pre-approved” by a Company Customer with a Credit Score below 580 in the amount of $12,000.00, the Marketing Fee before Discounts would be $354.00 total which is the product of $12,000.00 * 2.95%. The Marketing Fee after Discounts would be calculated as follows: $354.00 – ($354.00 * 35%) = $230.10 – ($230.10 * 10%) = $207.09).
5. Additional Considerations. For Funded Loans that cannot be mapped to a Credit Score, Company will apply the Blended Fee Level, including Discounts, over the same month for the remaining Funded Loans where a Credit Score is available. The “Blended Fee Level” is a percentage of the Gross Issued Loan Amount, calculated as the total Marketing Fee after Discounts for Funded Loans where a Credit Score is available divided by the total Gross Issued Loan Amount for these Funded Loans (for clarity, if the total Marketing Fee after Discounts for the Funded Loans where a Credit Score is available is $12,500 and the total
17
Gross Issued Loan Amount is $500,000 for these Funded Loans, the resulting percentage would apply: (total Marketing Fee after Discounts / total Gross Issued Loan Amount = $12,500.00 / $500,000.00 = 2.5%). If the total Gross Issued Loan Amount for the Funded Loans that cannot be mapped to a Credit Score is $100,000.00, the total Marketing Fees for those Funded Loans would be $2,500.00 (2.5%* $100,000.00)).
6. Restrictions. In no event shall any Marketing Fee after Discounts per Funded Loan fall below $100.00. (For example, in the event of a Funded Loan obtained through a Lightbox offer labeled “Pre- approved” to a Company Customer with a Credit Score below 580 for a loan amount of $3,000.00, the Marketing Fee before Discounts would be $100.00. No Discounts would apply because the Marketing Fee is already at $100.00). No Marketing Fee shall be due for any Funded Loan for a resident of Massachusetts where (i) the amount of the Funded Loan is $6500.00 or less; and (ii) the Funded Loan has an APR of 23.00% or more. For clarification, Advertiser must report these Funded Loans to Company as set forth herein, and a $0.00 Platform Fee shall be applied.
7. Reporting. Advertiser will deliver to Company a daily, rolling historical report detailing certain user- level data regarding the performance of the Advertiser Products for at least the past ninety (90) days, at a minimum to include the information set forth in the form set forth as Exhibit B; provided however, that Advertiser will not be required to include the “offerType” data field in such report. Advertiser will use commercially reasonably efforts to provide the “offerType” data field for Company Customers with a Funded Loan within the past ninety (90) days’ to Company as soon as commercially feasible. To the extent either party reasonably determines that the sharing of any such information does not comply with applicable law, then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to share such other information that is legally permitted to achieve the anticipated practical benefits intended by the information sharing.
8. Notice. All Marketing Fees and Discounts are at Company’s sole discretion and may be changed at any time upon written notice to Advertiser, where electronic mail shall be sufficient written notice. Any change that would have resulted in a higher Blended Fee Level if active during the most recent invoiced period (at the time of notification) shall require thirty (30) days written notice to Advertiser, where electronic mail shall be sufficient written notice. For the purposes of this Exhibit A, notice shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours from the time any such electronic mail communication was sent.

EXHIBIT D
ADVERTISER’S COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
Credit Consent (FCRA)
• | Where applicable and in connection with a Promotion, Company must give the Company Customer the opportunity to affirmatively consent to have his/her credit report pulled by Advertiser. The following are non-exhaustive principles of what is considered “affirmative”: |
○ | Credit consent language that is displayed on the page directly above a “call to action” button is considered affirmative. |
○ | Credit consent language on a separate link is considered affirmative if the Company Customer must complete a check box or other affirmative action agreeing to the contents on the link. |
○ | Credit consent language behind a link in which a Company Customer does not have to make an affirmative action to agree to is not affirmative. |
Consent to Electronic Disclosures (E-SIGN Act)
• | Where applicable and in connection with a Promotion, Company must give the Company Customer the opportunity to affirmatively consent to receive electronic disclosures. That consent must specify that the approval is extended to third parties in connection with the inquiry the Company Customer is making. |
Adverse Action Disclosures (FCRA/ECOA)
• | Company shall not represent to Company Customers that a Pre-Qualification Request to Advertiser constitutes an application for credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Advertiser acknowledges that Company’s other advertisers may consider a pre-qualification request on the Company Website as an application for credit, and accordingly, Advertiser shall not interpret any language in support of such other advertisers’ position on the Company Website as a violation by Company of the foregoing sentence. |
• | At the beginning of each Pre-Qualified Request and prior to providing the Pre-Qualified Offers, Company shall not list Advertiser or any Upstart Partner as possible lenders to whom the Company Customer may be inquiring with respect to the Pre-Qualified Request. In the event that this cannot be avoided, and a Pre-Qualified Offer is not presented to the Company Customer, a disclosure must be presented informing the Company Customer that no credit decision has been made by Advertiser, and that Company Customer is invited to apply on the Advertiser Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Advertiser acknowledges that Company Customers may see Advertiser’s Marks or a Promotion on other pages on the Company Website not designated for Company’s pre-qualification platform (e.g. pages showing “Invitation to Apply” offers) and such instance shall not be deemed as a violation by Company of the foregoing sentences. |
• | No language in the Company Website may state that a Company Customer has been declined by Advertiser in connection with an Application. |
Truth in Lending
• | On pages of the Company Website where a Promotion is displayed, Company shall also display clear disclosures that the products offered are advertiser products. |
• | On pages of the Company Website where a Promotion is displayed, Company shall disclose that the rates displayed are subject to change and based on submission of an Application. |
22
• | Company shall not make any false or misleading claims or any statements in a Promotion that could be construed as unfair, deceptive, or abusive as defined by Regulation Z. |
• | If the Promotion contains a triggering term (e.g. loan term, finance charge, APR, or amount of monthly payment), it must also include the terms of repayment (as defined by the Truth in Lending Act) and the APR. |
23
