(b) Revolving Loan Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower may voluntarily prepay, in whole, but not in part, the principal balance of the Revolving Advances and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon at any time, so long as Borrower shall have identified the Prepayment Date and given Agent not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice in advance of such proposed Prepayment Date.

Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
37
been made) in full in cash together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment and all other amounts owing to Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents, including Revolving Advance Prepayment Additional Interest and Term Loan Prepayment Additional Interest payable on such date, and whereupon the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be terminated; provided, that any such prepayment shall be in compliance with Section 6.16 hereof.
(b) In addition to and without limiting any provision of any Loan Document, if Borrower, in any transaction or series of related transactions, (a) sells any Pledged Lease or other material assets or other properties, (b) sells or issues any equity or debt securities, Equity Interests or other ownership interests other than, in each case, to Holdings or (c) incurs any Indebtedness except for Permitted Indebtedness, then it shall deposit 100% (or such lesser amount as is required to indefeasibly pay in cash in full the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations that are not then due and payable or with respect to which no claim has been made)) of the cash proceeds thereof (net of reasonable transaction costs and expenses and taxes) to the Collateral Account.
(c) In no event shall the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan Advances exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount. If at any time and for any reason, the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loan Advances exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount, Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, without the necessity of any notice or demand, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, prepay the principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to the difference between the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan Advances and the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount.

The pledge and delivery to Agent of additional Eligible Leases shall comply with the document delivery requirements set forth in Sections 2.9 and 4.2 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall be accompanied by a certification from Borrower that demonstrates that after giving effect to the pledge to Agent of such additional Eligible Leases, the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Loan is equal to or less than the Borrowing Base.
2.7 Payments by Agent; Protective Advances
(a) Should any amount required to be paid under any Loan Document be unpaid beyond any applicable cure period, such amount may be paid by Agent, for the account of Lenders, which payment shall be deemed a request for an Advance under the Loan as of the date such payment is due, and Borrower irrevocably authorizes disbursement of any such funds to Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, by way of direct payment of the relevant amount, interest or Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4 without necessity of any demand whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. No payment or prepayment of any amount by Agent, Lenders or any other Person shall entitle any Person to be subrogated to the rights of Agent and/or Lenders under any Loan Document unless and until the Obligations are repaid in full and the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been terminated.
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
38
Any sums expended or amounts paid by Agent and/or Lenders as a result of Borrower’s failure to pay, perform or comply with any Loan Document or any of its Obligations may be charged to Borrower’s account as an Advance under the Loan and added to the Obligations.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not any obligation, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, and from time to time, without prior notice, to: (i) discharge (at the Borrower’s expense) taxes or Liens affecting any of the Collateral that have not been paid in violation of any Loan Document or that jeopardize the Agent’s Lien priority in the Collateral, including any underlying collateral securing any Lease; or (ii) make any other payment (at the Borrower’s expense) for the administration, servicing, maintenance, preservation or protection of the Collateral, or any underlying collateral securing any Lease (each such advance or payment set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Protective Advance”). Agent shall be reimbursed for all Protective Advances pursuant to Section 2.4 and any Protective Advances shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Default Rate from the date the Protective Advance is paid by Agent until it is repaid. No Protective Advance by Agent shall be construed as a waiver by Agent, or any Lender of any Default, Event of Default, Default Trigger Event, First Payment Default Trigger Event or any of the rights or remedies of Agent or any Lender.
2.8 Grant of Security Interest; Collateral
(a) To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Lenders, a valid, perfected and continuing first priority Lien upon all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter from time to time acquired or coming into existence, in, to, and under all of Borrower’s assets (collectively, the “Collateral”), including, but not limited to Xxxxxxxx’s right, title and interest, if any, in, to and under: (i) all Leases and all amounts due or to become due under the Leases, (ii) all Inventory and other personal property securing the payment of any Lease, (iii) all Portfolio Documents and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and claims under the Portfolio Documents, (iv) the Collateral Account and all funds and other property credited to the Collateral Account; (v) the Purchase and Sale Agreement, each Servicing Agreement, and the Backup Servicing Agreement and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and claims under those contracts, (vi) all Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper, Instruments, Documents, Goods, money and any rights to the payment of money or other forms of consideration of any kind, Deposit Accounts, Investment Property, letters of credit, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Contract Rights, Contracts, Supporting Obligations, Equipment, Inventory, Fixtures, Computer Hardware, Software, securities, Permits, intellectual property, and oil, gas and other minerals; (vii) all other personal property and other types of property of Borrower (except as limited in clause (iv) above), including, but not limited to, all goods (including, but not limited to, the Inventory) owned by Borrower, whether or not such goods are the subject of a Lease and (viii) all Proceeds of all of the foregoing and all other types of property of Borrower (except as limited in clause (iv) above).
(b) Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of any Commercial Tort Claims of the Borrower, individually or in the aggregate, involving damages of more than $500,000 related to any Collateral in which Borrower has an interest arising after the Closing Date and shall provide all necessary information concerning each such Commercial Tort Claim and take all necessary action with respect thereto to grant and perfect a first priority Lien thereon in favor of Agent for the benefit of itself and the other Lenders.
(c) Borrower has full right and power to grant to Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Lenders, a perfected, first priority Lien on the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Permitted Liens. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and upon the filing of the necessary financing statements and other documents and the taking of all
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
39
other necessary action, Agent will have a valid and first priority perfected Lien on the Collateral, subject to no transfer or other restrictions or Liens of any kind in favor of any other Person other than Permitted Liens. As of the Closing Date, no financing statement naming Borrower as debtor and describing any of the Collateral is on file in any public office except those naming Agent as secured party and those related to the Permitted Liens. As of the Closing Date, Borrower is not party to any agreement, document or instrument that conflicts with this Section 2.8.
(d) Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to prepare and file financing statements provided for by the UCC with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect the Lenders’ security interest or rights hereunder, and to take such other action as may be required, in Agent’s Permitted Discretion, in order to perfect and to continue the perfection of Agent’s Lien on the Collateral, for the benefit of itself and the other Lenders, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Lender under the UCC. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in the Agent’s sole discretion.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, no Collateral shall be released (except as specifically set forth herein) until payment in full of all of the Obligations.
(f) Agent, Xxxxxxx and Borrower hereby agree that upon funding of any Revolving Loan Advance, the Borrowing Base Certificate prepared by Borrower and approved by Agent shall automatically supplement and add the Leases described therein to any Leases described in any previously-delivered Borrowing Base Certificate and shall constitute Collateral for purposes of this Agreement.
2.9 Collateral Administration
(a) All tangible Collateral (except Collateral in the possession of Backup Servicer or Agent) will at all times be kept by Borrower or Servicer at the locations set forth on Schedule 5.17B hereto, and shall not, without thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Agent, be moved therefrom other than to another such location, and in any case shall not be moved outside the continental United States. Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees to deliver to the Agent and Backup Servicer or, upon the request of the Agent, to the Servicer, on or prior to the date of each Revolving Advance, the Verification Deliverables for each Lease that is to be added to the Collateral in connection with such Revolving Advance. From and after the funding of each Advance hereunder, the originals of all Leases constituting Collateral in respect of such Advance shall, regardless of their location, be deemed to be under Agent’s dominion and control and deemed to be in Agent’s possession. Any of Agent’s officers, employees, representatives or agents, including, without limitation, Backup Servicer, shall have the right upon reasonable notice, at any time during normal business hours, in the name of Agent or any designee of Agent or Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to the Collateral. Borrower shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process. In addition to any provision of any Loan Document, Agent shall have the right at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify Account Lessees party to Leases held by Borrower that their Leases have been assigned to Agent and to collect such Leases directly in Agent’s own name, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, and to charge collection costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, to Borrower.
(b) As and when determined by Agent in its sole discretion, Agent will perform the searches described in clauses (i) and (ii) below against Borrower, Servicer and Holdings: (i) UCC searches with the Secretary of State and local filing offices of each jurisdiction where Borrower, Servicer or Holdings is organized; and (ii) judgment, bankruptcy,

40
federal tax lien and corporate and partnership tax lien searches, in each jurisdiction where Borrower, Servicer or Holdings maintains their executive offices, a place of business or any assets.
(c) Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit such records to Agent on such periodic basis as Agent may request in its Permitted Discretion.
(d) In respect of the portion of the Collateral consisting of any Lease which is evidenced by an electronic record that is not a transferable record under Applicable Law, Borrower shall deliver to Agent or, at the request of Agent, Servicer (i) the original Portfolio Documents; and (ii) originals or true copies of the truth-in-lending disclosure statements and, if required by Agent, lease applications, any related Account Lessee’s acknowledgments and understandings, and other receipts and payment authorization agreements, which shall be delivered, at Xxxxxxxx’s expense, to Agent at its address set forth herein or as otherwise specified by Agent and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, held in Agent’s custody or, if Agent has so requested, Servicer’s or Backup Servicer’s custody until all of the Obligations have been fully satisfied or Agent expressly agrees to release such custody of such documents. In respect of the portion of the Collateral consisting of any Lease which is evidenced by an electronic record that is a transferable record under applicable law, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the control of such transferable electronic record in accordance with Applicable Law (to ensure, among other things, that Agent has a first priority perfected Lien in such Collateral), which shall be delivered, at Borrower’s expense, to Agent at its address as set forth herein or as otherwise specified by Agent and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, held in Agent’s possession, custody, and control until all of the Obligations have been fully satisfied or Agent expressly agrees to release such documents. Alternatively, Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect for the Servicer or Backup Servicer or any other agent to accept delivery of and maintain possession, custody, and control of all such documents and any instruments on behalf of Agent during such period of time. Borrower shall identify (or cause any applicable servicing agent to identify) on the related electronic record the pledge of such Lease by Borrower to Agent.
(e) Borrower hereby agrees to, and to cause Servicer to, take the following protective actions to prevent destruction of records pertaining to the Collateral: create an electronic file of the computerized information regarding the Collateral and provide Agent and Backup Servicer monthly with a copy of such file (A) no later than fifteen (15) days following the Closing Date and (B) no later than fifteen (15) days following the end of each calendar month following the Closing Date. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.7 of this Agreement, Agent at all times during regular business hours (provided, that any electronic materials available on a website or through other remote electronic means for which Agent has been given access shall be available to Agent at all times) shall have the right to access and review any and all Portfolio Documents in Borrower’s or Servicer’s possession and any and all data and other information relating to Portfolio Documents as may from time to time be input to or stored within Borrower’s or Servicer’s computers and/or computer records including, without limitation, diskettes, tapes and other computer software and computer systems.
2.10 Power of Attorney

Borrower any financing statements, amendments to financing statements, schedules to financing statements, releases or terminations thereof, assignments, instruments or documents that it is obligated to execute and/or file under any of the Loan Documents (to the extent Borrower fails to so execute and/or file any of the foregoing within two (2) Business Days of Agent’s request or the time when Borrower is otherwise obligated to do so); (iii) execute and/or file in the name of Borrower assignments, instruments, documents, schedules and statements that it is obligated to give Agent under any of the Loan Documents (to the extent Borrower fails to so execute and/or file any of the foregoing within two (2) Business Days of Agent’s request or the time when Borrower is otherwise obligated to do so); (iv) execute and/or file such documents as may be necessary to register and/or otherwise perfect Agent’s Lien on Xxxxxxxx’s owned goods, including, but not limited to, the Inventory, and (v) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of Borrower that Agent may deem necessary to enforce, make, create, maintain, continue, enforce or perfect Lender’s security interest, Lien or rights in any Collateral.
2.11 Deposit of Release Price or Substitution of Eligible Lease.
(a) Subject to Section 2.11(b), at any time, upon discovery by Borrower or upon notice from Holdings, Servicer or Agent that (i) any Lease is a Defaulted Lease, Borrower may, within ten (10) calendar days after the earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice thereof deposit the Release Price for such Lease in the Collateral Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 2.11 solely with respect to the repurchase of Pledged Leases in a pool of Eligible Leases having an aggregate Current Lease Balance (measured as of the date of such repurchase) that is less than or equal to five percent (5%) of the sum of the funded Revolving Advances and the total unfunded Revolving Loan Commitment held by the Lenders with respect to such pool of Eligible Leases. Borrower shall deliver, or cause Servicer to deliver, a schedule of any Defaulted Leases so removed to Agent in connection with the Monthly Servicing Report and shall update all other reports and schedules accordingly.

Other than as set forth in clause (c) below, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to withdraw or order a transfer of funds from the Collateral Account, in all events in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Collateral Account Control Agreement, the Monthly Servicing Report and this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Servicer may request, but Agent is obligated to comply only if an Event of Default has not occurred and is then continuing with such request, withdrawals or order transfers of funds from the Collateral Account, to the extent such funds either (i) have been mistakenly deposited into the Collateral Account or (ii) related to items subsequently returned for insufficient funds or as a result of stop payments. In the case of any
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
42
withdrawal or transfer pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Servicer shall provide Agent with notice of such request of withdrawal or transfer, together with reasonable supporting details, on the next Monthly Servicing Report to be delivered by the Servicer following the date of such withdrawal or transfer (or in such earlier written notice as may be required by Agent from the Servicer from time to time). Borrower shall cause the Servicer to deposit all proceeds of the Collateral processed by the Servicer to the Collateral Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. On each Payment Date, amounts in the Collateral Account shall be applied to make the payments and disbursements described in Section 2.4 and this Section 2.12. Agent agrees to use its best efforts to provide Borrower and Servicer, at all times other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, with on-line access to view account related activity (such as deposits to and withdrawals from) the Collateral Account to view account related activity such as deposits to and withdrawals from the Collateral Account. On the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, Agent shall deliver to Borrower a notice setting forth the allocation of funds in the Collateral Account to be made on such Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.4 hereto (each such notice, an “Allocation Notice”), provided, that the failure of Agent to deliver an Allocation Notice to Borrower with respect to any Payment Date shall not affect any of the rights of Agent or any Lender or any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Except with respect to any manifest error in any Allocation Notice, the application of funds pursuant to Section 2.4 for the following Payment Date shall be made in accordance with such Allocation Notice.
(c) Irrevocable Deposit. Any deposit made into the Collateral Account hereunder shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be irrevocable, and the amount of such deposit and any money, instruments, investment property or other property on deposit in, carried in or credited to such Collateral Account hereunder and all interest thereon shall be held in trust by the Agent and applied solely as provided herein.
2.13 Maximum Revolving Loan Amount; Exclusive Right to Finance.
(a) At any time that the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan Advances is equal to 80% or more of the then-existing Maximum Revolving Loan Amount, Agent and the Lenders that are Affiliates of the Agent may, in their sole discretion, elect to provide Borrower one or more increases to the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount up to an aggregate amount after giving effect to all such increases equal to $250,000,000 with additional Revolving Loan Commitments from Lenders that are Affiliates of the Agent or new Revolving Loan Commitments from Persons acceptable to Agent, provided, that: (A) unless waived by Agent, in its sole discretion, at the time of any such increase, no Regulatory Trigger Event, Default Trigger Event, First Payment Default Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) unless waived by each Lender, in its sole discretion, no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any such increase by increasing the amount of its own Revolving Loan Commitment, which decision shall be in the sole discretion of each Lender whose Revolving Loan Commitment is being increased; (C) no such increase shall exceed $25,000,000; (D) Agent and Lenders shall have received any reasonable and documented fees or other amounts required by Agent and Lenders (including, without limitation, the payment (or net funding) of the applicable Increase OID) and (E) all documents reasonably required by Agent to evidence any such increase shall be executed and delivered to Agent on or before the effective date of such increase, including, without limitation, one or more new or replacement Notes.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Except as expressly provided in clause (d) below, Agent and Lenders shall have the exclusive right to finance on a first lien basis all Leases originated, acquired or held by Borrower, Holdings, the Parent Entity (if any) and/or their respective Subsidiaries (it being understood that sales of Defaulted Leases otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
43
other Loan Documents shall not be treated as a financing), which Leases are serviced (or sub-serviced) by (x) Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Subsidiaries (or any Person who performs servicing with respect to such Leases using the employees, facilities, equipment, systems or any other property that is owned by (or was previously owned by) Borrower, Holdings or their respective Subsidiaries) or (y) any third party servicer that is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Holdings on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Borrower and Holdings covenant and agree not to form, or consent to or otherwise acquiesce in the formation of, any Affiliate or Subsidiary, or otherwise use any Affiliate or Subsidiary, or participate in any reorganization of or transfer of assets between Borrower or Holdings and any Affiliate or Subsidiary in an effort to circumvent the intent of the covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Section 2.13(c).
(d) Subject to Section 6.16 (Right of First Refusal) and notwithstanding clause (c) above, in the event that prior to the Public Company Transition Date (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Advances is equal to and remains 95% or more of the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount and (ii) the Agent and the Lenders have elected not to increase such Maximum Revolving Loan Amount pursuant to clause (a) above, Borrower, Holdings, Parent Entity and/or any of their Subsidiaries shall be permitted to finance on a non-recourse basis (other than the pledge by a Subsidiary described in the final sentence of this clause (d) of its assets and/or the pledge by Borrower or Holdings of the equity interest in any such Subsidiary), Leases (excluding the Leases pledged as Collateral hereunder) originated, acquired or held by Borrower, Holdings, the Parent Entity and/or their respective Subsidiaries, whether serviced (or sub-serviced) by (x) Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (y) any third party servicer that is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Holdings. In connection with any such financing, Borrower and Holdings may form, or consent to or otherwise acquiesce in the formation of, a Subsidiary, or otherwise use a Subsidiary in connection with any such financing.
III. FEES AND OTHER CHARGES
3.1 Computation of Fees; Lawful Limits
All fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed to be paid to Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Lenders, for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate permissible under Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such limit, then the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and, if Agent or Lenders shall have received interest or any other charges of any kind which might be deemed to be interest under Applicable Law in excess of the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and charges hereunder, then to unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower hereunder, and if the then remaining excess interest is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Agent and Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.1 shall control to the extent any other provision of any Loan Document is inconsistent herewith.
3.2 Default Rate of Interest
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate of interest then in effect at such time with respect to the Obligations shall be increased by three percent (3.0%) per annum (subject to the Maximum Rate) (the “Default
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
44
Rate”). Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Default or Event of Default until such Default or Event of Default is waived or ceases to continue, and shall be payable upon demand.
3.3 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy
(a) If any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender) and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes) to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender on demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender) determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements (other than in respect of Taxes) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level materially below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as applicable, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company, as applicable, with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender on demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender’s or such Lender’s holding company, as applicable, for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 3.3(a) and (b), shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender on demand the amount shown as due on any such certificate pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.3 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e) Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent of any event of which it has actual knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender's sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) or (b) or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 3.3(a) or (b) (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above

and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify Borrower and Agent).
3.4 Administration Fee
Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees to pay to Agent, solely for the account of Agent, an administration fee (the “Administration Fee”) in the sum of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($12,500), which fee shall be payable on the Closing Date and on the first Payment Date of each calendar quarter thereafter, in advance, for such calendar quarter.
3.5 Original Issue Discount
(a) In connection with the initial Revolving Loan Advance, Xxxxxxxx agrees that the funded amount of such initial Revolving Loan Advance shall be reduced by an original issue discount of $250,000.00 (the “Closing Date OID”), which Closing Date OID shall be retained by the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxxxxx agrees that, notwithstanding such deduction from the funded amount of the initial Revolving Loan Advance, Borrower remains liable to pay (a) the full principal amount of such Revolving Loan Advance (inclusive of such Closing Date OID), without giving effect to such deduction, which shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, on the Maturity Date and (b) accrued interest shall be payable on the full outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loan Advance (inclusive of such Closing Date OID), without giving effect to such deduction.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the sum of the Closing Date OID and the Post-Closing OID does not equal $500,000.00 by the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, the difference shall be immediately earned by Agent, for the benefit of Xxxxxxx, and shall be withheld from the first Advance made to or on account of the Borrower following such date.
(c) In connection with each increase of the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(i) hereof, Borrower agrees that the funded amount of the initial Revolving Loan Advance after giving effect to each such increase shall be reduced by an original issue discount equal to one percent (1.00%) of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments being added on such date (the “Increase OID”), which Increase OID shall be retained by the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxxxxx agrees that, notwithstanding such deduction from the funded amount of any such Revolving Loan Advance, Borrower remains liable to pay (a) the full principal amount of such Revolving Loan Advance (inclusive of such Increase OID), without giving effect to such deduction, which shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, on the Maturity Date and (b) accrued interest shall be payable on the full outstanding
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
46
principal amount of such Revolving Loan Advance (inclusive of such Increase OID), without giving effect to such deduction.
(d) On the Initial Term Loan Funding Date, Xxxxxxxx agrees that the funded amount of the Term Loan shall be reduced by an original issue discount of $800,000.00 (the “Term Loan OID”), which Term Loan OID shall be retained by the Agent, for the benefit of the Class B Lenders, provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxxxxx agrees that, notwithstanding such deduction from the funded amount of the Term Loan, Borrower remains liable to pay (a) the full principal amount of such Term Loan (inclusive of such Term Loan OID), without giving effect to such deduction, which shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, on the Maturity Date and (b) accrued interest shall be payable on the full outstanding principal amount of such Term Loan (inclusive of such Term Loan OID), without giving effect to such deduction.
The parties hereto agree to treat such Closing Date OID, Post-Closing OID and Increase OID as original issue discount under the Code and to account for the annual income and expense for such original issue discount consistently and as required by the Code.
3.6 Additional Interest.
(a) On each Payment Date prior to the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, as well as on the Payment Date immediately following the expiration of the Revolving Credit Period, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, with respect to the Due Period occurring since the immediately prior Payment Date (or, with respect to the first Payment Date, for the Due Period occurring since the Closing Date and, with respect to the Payment Date immediately following the expiration of the Revolving Credit Period, for the Due Period up to and including the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, as additional interest (the “Unused Additional Interest”) an amount equal to the product of (A) one-half of one percent (0.50%) multiplied by (B) the difference between the then-applicable Maximum Revolving Loan Amount and the average daily principal balance of the Obligations for such period multiplied by (C) the number of days in the applicable Due Period, divided by (d) 360.
(b) In addition to the above, if, as of any Payment Date prior to the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, as well as on the Payment Date immediately following the expiration of the Revolving Credit Period, the Utilization Ratio is less than the Minimum Utilization Ratio for the correlative time period, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, with respect to the Due Period occurring since the immediately prior Payment Date (or, with respect to the first Payment Date, for the Due Period occurring since the Closing Date and, with respect to the Payment Date immediately following the expiration of the Revolving Credit Period, for the Due Period up to and including the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, as additional interest an amount equal to (a) the Revolving Calculated Rate multiplied by (b) the total amount of additional principal balance of the Revolving Advances that would have needed to be outstanding in order to cause the Utilization Ratio to be equal to Minimum Utilization Ratio for the correlative time period (the “Minimum Utilization Additional Interest” and together with the Unused Additional Interest, collectively, the “Additional Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Minimum Utilization Additional Interest is paid on any Payment Date, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Unused Additional Interest solely with respect to the total amount of additional principal balance of the Loan that would have needed to be outstanding in order to cause the Utilization Ratio to be equal to Minimum Utilization Ratio for the correlative time period.

V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower and, from and after the Initial Term Loan Funding Date, each other Credit Party represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date and as of the date of any Request for Revolving Advance and the making of each Advance, as follows:
5.1 Organization and Authority
Borrower is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization. Each Guarantor is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization. Each Credit Party (a) has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets (including, without limitation, the Collateral) and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as contemplated in the Loan Documents, and (b) is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify could reasonably be likely to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party has all requisite power and authority (i) to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) with respect to Borrower, to acquire the Pledged Leases and other Collateral under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (iii) to consummate
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
52
the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and (iv) to grant the Liens with regard to the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents to which it is a party. Xxxxxxxx has all requisite power and authority to borrow hereunder. No Credit Party is an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, nor controlled by such an “investment company.” No transaction contemplated in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.
5.2 Loan Documents
The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation by such parties of the transactions contemplated thereby, (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite action of such parties and have been duly executed and delivered by such parties; (b) do not violate any provisions of (i) any Applicable Law, (ii) any order of any Governmental Authority binding on any such party or any of their respective properties, or (iii) the limited liability company agreement (or any other equivalent governing agreement or document) of any such party, or any agreement between any such party and its equity owners or among any such equity owners; (c) are not in conflict with, and do not result in a breach or default of or constitute an event of default, or an event, fact, condition or circumstance which, with notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute or result in a conflict, breach, default or event of default under, any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which any such party is a party, or by which the properties or assets of such party are bound, the effect of which could reasonably be expected to be, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect; (d) except as set forth herein or therein, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien of any nature upon any of the properties or assets of such party, and (e) except for filings in connection with the perfection of Agent’s Liens, do not require the consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person that has not been obtained.

The Purchase and Sale Agreement is the only agreement pursuant to which the Borrower purchases the Pledged Leases and the related Collateral. The Borrower has furnished to the Agent a true, correct and complete copy of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The purchase by the Borrower under the Purchase and Sale Agreement constitutes a true sale at a fair market valuation enforceable against creditors of Holdings and is not merely a financing or extension of credit.

Borrower will only purchase Leases and other Collateral pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Holdings.
5.4 Properties

6.16 Right of First Refusal
Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, in addition to the rights granted to Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof, Borrower, Holdings and Parent Entity hereby agree that, if at any time prior to the date that all of the Revolving Advances, all accrued and unpaid, costs, fees and expenses relating to the Revolving Advances, and all accrued and unpaid interest (including any Revolving Advance Prepayment Additional Interest and Additional Interest) relating to the Revolving Advances have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Revolving Loan Commitments terminated, Borrower, Holdings or any Subsidiary of Borrower, Holdings or Parent Entity shall have obtained a bona fide third-party offer (the “Third-Party Offer”) (for the avoidance of doubt, a bonafide, fully negotiated and executed term sheet delivered by the applicable lender to Borrower, Holdings or any Subsidiary of Borrower, Holdings or Parent Entity, as applicable, together with a commitment letter, if any, shall qualify as a “Third-Party Offer” hereunder) for any refinancing of the Revolving Loans or any similar ABL or borrowing base (however described) revolving financing (including in the form of a repurchase agreement transaction) of Leases to be originated, acquired or otherwise held by Holdings, Borrower, Parent Entity or any Subsidiary of Borrower, Holdings or Parent Entity that is formed for the purpose of originating Leases, Borrower, Holdings or Parent Entity shall, in writing within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such offer, promptly inform Agent (such writing to Agent is referred to herein as the “First Refusal Offer”) of such Third-Party Offer and the terms and conditions of such Third-Party Offer (and, if such Third-Party Offer is in writing, shall attach a copy of such Third-Party Offer to such First Refusal Offer) and, in such First Refusal Offer, shall offer to Agent a right of first refusal in respect of such financing or refinancing. Agent’s right of first refusal shall grant Agent the right to, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such First Refusal Offer, deliver a writing to Borrower, Holdings and Parent Entity (the “Acceptance”) stating that Agent and Lenders agree to extend such financing on Material Terms which shall be the same or more favorable (taken as a whole) to the applicable borrower than the Material Terms of financing under such Third-Party Offer (as such Material
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
65
Terms were communicated to Agent by Borrower, Holdings or Parent Entity or such Affiliate), it being agreed and understood that, with respect to any such Third-Party Offer, the (i) aggregate principal amount, (ii) pricing (including, without limitation, interest rate, closing, commitment, structuring, arrangement or similar fees and original issue discount) and payment and prepayment terms and conditions, (iii) term and/or duration, (iv) financial covenants, borrowing base or availability, (v) events of default, (vi) material conditions to closing and borrowing, (vii) operational covenants, including as to debt, liens, investments, prepayments and repayments of other debt, use of proceeds, dividends and distributions, reporting, access to cash, and (viii) collateral and transaction structure (with respect to any financing, such material terms are referred to as “Material Terms”). Upon receipt of the Acceptance by Borrower, Holdings or Parent Entity, Agent and one or more of the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Borrower, Holdings, Parent Entity or the applicable Subsidiary, on the other hand, shall, in good faith negotiate an agreement for such financing on the terms set forth in such Acceptance (subject to the satisfaction of appropriate conditions in respect of due diligence, documentation and other customary and commercial conditions precedent set forth in (or incorporated by reference) in the Acceptance). If Agent shall have declined to exercise its right under such First Refusal Offer, or shall have failed to timely respond within fifteen (15) Business Days to such First Refusal Offer or shall have offered a counterproposal to Borrower, Holdings or Parent Entity in respect of such First Refusal Offer, Borrower, Holdings, Parent Entity or such applicable Subsidiary shall be free to close such Third-Party Offer within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of such First Refusal Offer on terms substantially similar to the terms thereof set forth in such Third-Party Offer (as communicated to Agent). If Borrower, Holdings, Parent Entity or such applicable Subsidiary shall have failed to so close such financing within said one hundred twenty (120) days or if the material terms of such financing are modified from the description of such terms in the Third-Party Offer, then a new right of first refusal for the benefit of Agent with respect to such financing shall immediately arise. Borrower, Holdings and Parent Entity agree to inform any Person making a Third-Party Offer of Agent’s and Xxxxxx’s rights under this Section 6.16 in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted to Agent and the Lenders pursuant this Section 6.16 shall not apply following the Public Company Transition Date with respect to any Third-Party Offer for a bond issuance, public securitization or a syndicated corporate credit facility. For the avoidance of doubt, any refinancing of the Class A Obligations with a financing similar in nature to the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to a right of first refusal under this Section 6.16.
Borrower and Holdings covenant and agree not to form, or consent to or otherwise acquiesce in the formation of, any Affiliate, or otherwise use any Subsidiary existing on the Closing Date, to originate, acquire or finance any Leases in circumvention of the intent of the covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Section 6.16.

If permitted by Applicable Law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Lender without prior notice to Borrower or Holdings. At any sale or disposition of Collateral or securities pledged, Agent may (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) purchase all or any part thereof free from any right of redemption by Borrower which right is hereby waived and released. Borrower and Holdings each covenant and agree not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral.

9.5 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive
Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens and/or remedies Agent and Lenders may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, and such determination will not in any way waive, compromise, modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights, Liens or remedies under any Loan Document, Applicable Law or equity. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any Loan Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders described in any Loan Document are cumulative and are not alternative to or exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Agent and Lenders otherwise may have.

Lender or Affiliate of a Non-Funding Lender, direct competitor of Borrower or Holdings or any Person who is directly engaged in consumer lease financing to big box retail, or is controlled by a Person which is a direct competitor of Borrower or who is directly engaged in consumer lease financing to big box retail, shall constitute a Transferee hereunder and Borrower shall have a right to consent to any Transferee that is not an Approved Fund of a Lender (each such Person that is precluded from being a Transferee pursuant to this proviso, an “Ineligible Transferee”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, other than restrictions set forth in the definition of “Transferee”, there shall be no limitation or restriction on any Lender’s ability to assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Note or other Obligation. The Transferee and such Lender shall execute and deliver for acceptance and recording in the Register, a Lender Addition Agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion (“Lender Addition Agreement”). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement, (i) the Transferee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Lender Addition Agreement, have the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Advances or assigned portion thereof, as the case may be, to the extent that such obligations shall have been expressly assumed by the Transferee pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Addition Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but, with respect to matters occurring before such assignment, shall nevertheless continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.4 and 12.7). Xxxxxxxx hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the Transferee and that the Transferee shall be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder. Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of its Obligations, or any portion thereof, including Xxxxxxxx’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers, and duties hereunder or thereunder.
(b) Each Lender may at any time sell participations in all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loan) to one or more Persons acceptable to Agent that is not a non direct competitor of Borrower or Holdings or any Person who is directly engaged in consumer lease financing to big box retail, or is controlled by a Person which is a direct competitor of Borrower or who is directly engaged in consumer lease financing to big box retail (each, a “Participant” and each Person that is precluded from being a Participant pursuant to this sentence, an “Ineligible Participant”). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participation to a Participant, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan (and any Note evidencing such Loan) for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (v) all amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.2 by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Xxxxxx had not sold such participation. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender shall sell any such participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise such Lender’s rights and enforce Borrower’s obligations hereunder, including the right to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree, without the consent of the Participant, to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver relating to: (A) any reduction in the principal amount, interest rate or fees or premium payments payable to Lenders with respect to any Loan in which such holder participates; (B) any extension of the Maturity Date or of the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Loan Commitment or any reinstatement of any terminated Revolving Loan Commitment; (C) any release of all or
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
84
substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents); (D) any amendment or modification to the priority of payments or pro rata treatment of payments in connection with the application of any amounts due in respect of the Loan (including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 2.4 hereof), (E) discharging any Credit Party from its respective payment obligations in respect of the Loan except as otherwise may be provided in the Loan and Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (F) increasing any fees payable to Agent under this Agreement, (G) waiving any Event of Default arising as a result of a Change of Control or Servicer Default or (H) amending or modifying any of Section 7.4 or 7.13 of this Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant under each participation shall, solely for the purposes of Sections 12.4 and 12.7 of this Agreement be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except (x) to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and (y) that each Lender must notify the Agent of the date and the amount of such participation. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c) Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.5 a copy of each Lender Addition Agreement delivered to it and a written or electronic register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Advances made by, and the principal amount of the Loan owing to, and the Notes evidencing such Loan owned by, each Lender from time to time. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower and the Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan, the Notes and the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no assignment under Section 12.2(a) of any rights or obligations under or in respect of the Loan or the Notes evidencing such Loan shall be effective unless and until Agent shall have recorded the assignment pursuant to Section 12.2(c). Upon its receipt of a Lender Addition Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and a Transferee, Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Lender Addition Agreement and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lender and Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it, all or a portion of which are being assigned, and Borrower, at its own expense, shall, upon the request of Agent by the assigning Lender or the Transferee, as applicable, execute and deliver to Agent, within five (5) Business Days of any request, new Notes to reflect the interest held by the assigning Lender and its Transferee.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.2 Agent shall not, as between Borrower and Agent, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Loan or other Obligations owed to Agent and Lenders. Agent may furnish any information
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
85
concerning Xxxxxxxx in the possession of Agent from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to confidentiality requirements hereunder.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Agent and each Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Loan owing to it and the Notes held by it and (solely with respect to the Agent) the other Loan Documents and Collateral.
(g) Xxxxxxxx agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Agent and each Lender in assigning or selling participations in all or any part of any Loan made by any Lender to another Person identified by such Xxxxxx.
(h) Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) Agent and its Affiliates shall not be required to execute and deliver a Lender Addition Agreement in connection with any transfer, assignment or participation transaction involving its Affiliates or lenders, in each case, who, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, are not Ineligible Transferees, (ii) no lender to or funding or financing source of Agent or its Affiliates shall be considered a Transferee, (iii) there shall be no limitation or restriction on Agent’s ability to assign (except to any Ineligible Transferee at such time as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), participate or otherwise transfer any Loan Document to any such Affiliate or lender or funding or financing source, (iv) there shall be no limitation or restriction on such Affiliates’ or lenders’ or financing or funding sources’ ability to assign, participate or otherwise transfer any Loan Document, Loan, Note or Obligation (or any of its rights thereunder or interest therein) and (v) no notice shall be required to be delivered to Borrower in connection with any assignment, participation or other transfer described in this Section 12.2(g); provided, however, Agent shall continue to be liable as a “Lender” under the Loan Documents unless such Affiliate or lender or funding or financing source executes a Lender Addition Agreement and thereby becomes a “Lender.”
(i) The Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of Agent, Lenders, Transferee, Participant (to the extent expressly provided herein only) and all future holders of the Notes, the Obligations and/or any of the Collateral, and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Loan Document shall be binding upon the Persons other than Agent that are parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no such Person may assign, delegate or transfer any Loan Document or any of its rights or obligations thereunder without the prior written consent of Agent. No rights are intended to be created under any Loan Document for the benefit of any third party donee, creditor or incidental beneficiary of Borrower. Nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as a delegation to Agent of any other Person’s duty of performance. XXXXXXXX ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT AGENT AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME MAY (I) DIVIDE AND REISSUE (WITHOUT SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES OTHER THAN THOSE RESULTING FROM SUCH DIVISION) THE NOTES, AND/OR (II) SELL, ASSIGN OR GRANT PARTICIPATING INTERESTS IN OR TRANSFER ALL OR ANY PART OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, NOTE, THE OBLIGATIONS AND/OR THE COLLATERAL TO OTHER PERSONS, IN EACH CASE ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS PROVIDED HEREIN. Each Transferee and Participant shall have all of the rights, obligations and benefits with respect to the Obligations, Notes, Collateral and/or Loan Documents held by it as fully as if the original holder thereof; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay under this Agreement to any Transferee or Participant any sum in excess of the sum which it would have been obligated to pay to Agent had such participation not been effected. Agent may disclose to any Transferee or Participant all information, reports, financial statements, certificates and documents obtained under any provision of any Loan Document; provided, that Transferees
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
86
and Participants shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions contained herein that are applicable to Agent.
(j) Any Lender may assign or pledge all or any portion of the Loans or Notes held by it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation, any assignment or pledge pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided, that any payment in respect of such assigned Loans or Notes made by Borrower to or for the account of the assigning or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Loans or Notes to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
12.3 Application of Payments
To the extent that any payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, defeased or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Agent and the Liens created hereby shall be revived automatically without any action on the part of any party hereto and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Agent. Any payments with respect to the Obligations received shall be credited and applied in accordance with Section 2.4.
12.4 Indemnity
Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender, each Transferee, each Participant, their respective Affiliates, managers, members, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, accountants and attorneys (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and expenses of one regulatory counsel to such Indemnified Person and one other firm of outside counsel to such Indemnified Person taken as a whole and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional firm of outside counsel to each group of similarly situated Indemnified Person) which are incurred or actually paid by any Indemnified Person with respect to or arising out of, or in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or any matter related to, any act of or omission by Borrower or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors and agents relating to the Loan, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent resulting or arising from the applicable Indemnified Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent agrees to give Borrower reasonable notice of any event of which Agent becomes aware for which indemnification may be required under this Section 12.4 (provided, that the failure of Agent to give such notice shall not affect the obligation of Borrower or any other Person pursuant to this Section 12.4 unless materially prejudiced thereby) and Agent may elect (but is not obligated) to direct the defense thereof; provided, that the selection of counsel shall be subject to Xxxxxxxx’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Borrower shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any matter for which indemnification may be required under this Section 12.4 and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the handling of such matter. Any Indemnified Person may, in its reasonable discretion, take such actions as it deems necessary and appropriate to investigate, defend or settle any event or take other remedial or corrective actions with respect thereto as may be necessary for the protection of such
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
87
Indemnified Person or the Collateral, subject to Borrower’s prior approval of any settlement, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any insurer agrees to undertake the defense of an event (an “Insured Event”), Agent agrees not to exercise its right to select counsel to defend the event if that would cause Xxxxxxxx’s insurer to deny coverage; provided, however, that Xxxxxx reserves the right to retain counsel to represent any Indemnified Person with respect to an Insured Event at its sole cost and expense. To the extent that Agent obtains recovery from a third party other than an Indemnified Person of any of the amounts that Xxxxxxxx has paid to Lender pursuant to the indemnity set forth in this Section 12.4, then Agent shall promptly pay to Borrower the amount of such recovery. Without limiting any of the foregoing, (a) Borrower indemnifies the Indemnified Persons for all claims for brokerage fees or commissions (other than claims of a broker with whom such Indemnified Person has directly contracted in writing) and (b) Agent indemnifies the Borrower for all claims for brokerage fees or commissions (other than the claims of a broker with whom Borrower or any of its Affiliates has directly contracted in writing), in each case, which may be made in connection with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by or referred to in, or any matter related to, any Loan Document or any agreement, document or transaction contemplated thereby.
12.5 Notice
Any notice or request under any Loan Document shall be given to the applicable party to this Agreement at such party’s address set forth beneath its signature on the signature page to this Agreement, or at such other address as such party may hereafter specify in a notice given in the manner required under this Section 12.5. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given only by, and shall be deemed to have been received upon (each, a “Receipt”): (i) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, on the date on which such received as indicated in such return receipt, (ii) delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier, one (1) Business Day after deposit with such courier, or (iii) facsimile or electronic transmission, in each case upon telephone or further electronic communication from the recipient acknowledging receipt (whether automatic or manual from recipient), as applicable.
12.6 Severability; Captions; Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures
If any provision of any Loan Document is adjudicated to be invalid under Applicable Laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable to the extent of such invalidity without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the Loan Documents which shall be given effect so far as possible. The captions in the Loan Documents are intended for convenience and reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts (which taken together, as applicable, shall constitute one and the same instrument) and by facsimile transmission, which facsimile signatures shall be considered original executed counterparts. Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will be bound by its own facsimile signature and that it accepts the facsimile signature of each other party.
12.7 Expenses
Borrower shall pay, whether or not the Closing occurs, all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred or actually paid by Agent, any Lender, and/or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, documentation and diligence fees and expenses prior to and following the Closing, all search, audit, appraisal, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and all other charges and expenses (including, without limitation, UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-Closing UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and wire transfer fees and audit expenses), and reasonable external attorneys’ fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, but limited, in the case of legal fees and

All of the foregoing shall be charged to Xxxxxxxx’s account and shall be part of the Obligations. Without limiting the forgoing, Borrower shall pay all Taxes (other than Taxes based upon or measured by Agent’s income or revenues or any personal property tax), if any, in connection with the issuance of any Note and the filing and/or recording of any documents and/or financing statements.

Subject to Section 12.3, promptly following indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or with respect to which no claim has been made) and the termination of this Agreement, the Liens created hereby shall terminate and Agent shall execute and deliver such documents, at Borrower’s expense, as are necessary to release Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and shall return or cause the return of or consent to the return of the Collateral to Borrower; provided, however, that the parties agree that, notwithstanding any such termination or release or the execution, delivery or filing of any such documents or the return of any Collateral, if and to the extent that any such payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, defeased or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Agent and the Liens created hereby shall be revived automatically without any action on the part of any party hereto and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Agent.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby voluntarily and knowingly releases and forever discharges Agent and each Lender and each of their respective predecessors, agents, employees, affiliates, attorneys, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from all Claims whatsoever, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, suspected or unsuspected, fixed, contingent or conditional, or at law or in equity, in any case to the extent originating on or before the date this Agreement is executed that Borrower may now or hereafter have against the Released Parties, if any, irrespective of whether any such claims arise out of contract, tort, violation of law or regulations, or otherwise, and that arise from any of the Loans, the exercise of any rights and remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and/or the negotiation for and execution of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any contracting for, charging, taking, reserving, collecting or receiving interest in excess of the highest lawful rate applicable. Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing release is a material inducement to each Lender’s decision to extend to Borrower the financial accommodations hereunder and has been relied upon by such Xxxxxx in agreeing to make the Loan. Borrower hereby further specifically waives any rights that it may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (to the extent applicable), which provides as follows: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR,” and further waives any similar rights under applicable laws.
(b) In any litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution proceeding relating to any Loan Document, Borrower waives any and all defenses, objections and counterclaims it may have or could interpose with respect to (i) any of its directors, officers, employees or agents being deemed to be employees or managing agents of Borrower for purposes of all applicable law or court rules regarding the production of witnesses by notice for testimony (whether in a deposition, at trial or otherwise), (ii) Agent’s or any other Lender’s counsel examining any such individuals as if under cross-examination and using any discovery deposition of any of them as if it were an evidence deposition, and (iii) using all commercially reasonable efforts to produce in any such dispute resolution proceeding, at the time and in the manner requested by Agent or such other Lender, all Persons, documents (whether in tangible, electronic or other form) and other things under its control and relating to the dispute.
XIII. AGENT PROVISIONS; SETTLEMENT
13.1 Agent
(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Midtown Madison Management LLC as the administrative agent, payment agent and collateral agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Midtown Madison Management LLC, as Agent for such Lender, to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to Agent by the
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
93
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the conditions contained in this Article XIII. The provisions of this Article XIII are solely for the benefit of Agent and Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxxx shall have no rights as third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions of this Article XIII other than the second sentence of Section 13.1(h)(iii). Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through its agents, employees or sub-agents.
(b) Nature of Duties. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent is acting solely on behalf of Lenders, and its duties are administrative in nature, and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Lenders, other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, or Borrower. Agent shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the extension of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for information, notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder or given to Agent for the account of or with copies for Lenders, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter. If Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then Agent shall send prior written notice thereof to each Lender. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender in writing any time that the applicable percentage of Lenders have instructed Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
(c) Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent Agent from being be liable to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and nonappealable basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall be obligated on the terms set forth herein for performance of its express duties and obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree promptly to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of Borrower. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of Borrower, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
94
for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the applicable percentage of Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the applicable percentage of Lenders and, notwithstanding the instructions of Lenders, Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it, in good faith, believes that such action exposes Agent or any of its officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys or agents to any personal liability unless Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from Lenders with respect to such action.
(d) Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion.
(e) Indemnification. Each Lender, severally and not (i) jointly or (ii) jointly and severally, agrees to reimburse and indemnify and hold harmless Agent and its officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by Xxxxxxxx), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Share in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection of the total outstanding Obligations under the Loan Documents (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Share immediately prior to such date of the total outstanding Obligations), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent or any of its officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys or agents in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and non-appealable basis. The obligations of Lenders under this Article XIII shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(f) Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the Loans made by it, if any, Midtown Madison Management LLC and its successors as the Agent shall have, and may exercise, the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents, and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities, as and to the extent set forth in the Loan Documents, as any other Lender. The terms “Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of lending, banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with, Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto.
(g) Successor Agent.
(i) Resignation. Agent may resign from the performance of all or part of its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx. Such resignation shall take
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
95
effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clause (ii) below or as otherwise provided below.
(ii) Appointment of Successor. Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to clause (g)(i) of this Section 13.1, Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent which is not an Ineligible Transferee. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) calendar day period referenced in clause (g)(i) above, the retiring Agent, upon notice to Xxxxxxxx, may, on behalf of Xxxxxxx, appoint a successor Agent which is not an Ineligible Transferee, who shall serve as Agent until such time as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing within said thirty (30) calendar day period, the resignation shall become effective and Requisite Lenders thereafter shall perform all the duties of Agent hereunder, until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
(iii) Successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Agent which is not an Ineligible Transferee, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and, upon the earlier of such acceptance or the effective date of the retiring Agent’s resignation, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, provided that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such retiring Agent shall continue after and survive such resignation and succession. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent under the Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.
(h) Collateral Matters.
(i) Collateral. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater number of Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral, and the exercise by Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such greater number of Lenders) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders and Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Loan Documents in connection with the Collateral; (ii) execute and deliver each Loan Document relating to the Collateral and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Borrower or any Guarantor; (iii) act as collateral agent for Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein; (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral; (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral; and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, exercise all right and remedies given to such Agent and Lenders with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, Applicable Law or otherwise.
(ii) Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent, for the benefit the of Lenders, upon any Collateral covered by the Loan Documents (A)
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
96
upon termination of this Agreement and the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted); (B) constituting Collateral being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (C) constituting Collateral leased to Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by Borrower to be, renewed or extended.
(iii) Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by Xxxxxxx (as set forth in Section 13.1(h)(i) and (ii)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Xxxxxxxx, the authority to release any property covered by this Agreement or the Loan Documents conferred upon Agent under Section 13.1(h)(ii). So long as no Event of Default exists, upon receipt by Agent of confirmation from the requisite percentage of Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral covered by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Agent shall (and hereby is irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent, for the benefit itself and the Lenders, herein or pursuant hereto upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (A) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty (other than that such Collateral is free and clear, on the date of such delivery, of any and all Liens arising from such Person’s own acts), and (B) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, including, without limitation, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral covered by this Agreement or the Loan Documents.
(iv) Absence of Duty. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the Collateral covered by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents exists or is owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, enforced or maintained or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 13.1(h) or in any of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral covered by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in Collateral covered by this Agreement or the Loan Documents as one of Lenders and Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders; provided, that Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account.
(i) Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints Agent as agent for the purpose of perfecting Lenders’ security interest in Collateral which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall hold
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
97
such Collateral for purposes of perfecting a security interest therein for the benefit of the Lenders, notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise act in respect thereof in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
(j) Exercise of Remedies. Except as set forth in Section 13.4, each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to realize upon any Collateral security for the Loans or other Obligations; it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
13.2 Lender Consent
(a) In the event Agent requests the consent of a Lender and does not receive a written denial thereof within five (5) Business Days after such Xxxxxx's receipt of such request, then such Xxxxxx will be deemed to have given such consent so long as such request contained a notice stating that such failure to respond within five (5) Business Days would be deemed to be a consent by such Xxxxxx.
(b) In the event Agent requests the consent of a Lender in a situation where such Xxxxxx's consent would be required and such consent is denied, then Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Loans to Agent for a price equal to the then outstanding principal amount thereof due such Lender plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which principal, interest and fees will be paid to the Lender when collected from Borrower. In the event that Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Agent pursuant to this Section 13.2 Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty-five (45) days following such Xxxxxx's denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Agent no later than five (5) calendar days following receipt of such notice.
13.3 Set-off and Sharing of Payments
In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, with the prior written consent of Agent and without notice to Borrower or any other Person other than Agent (such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (a) balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower ), and (b) other Collateral at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower, against and on account of any of the Obligations which are not paid when due; provided, that no Lender or any such holder shall exercise any such right without prior written notice to Agent. Any Lender that has exercised its right to set-off or otherwise has received any payment on account of the Obligations shall, to the extent the amount of any such set off or payment exceeds its Pro Rata Share of payments obtained by all of the Lenders on account of such Obligations, purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders of the Loans shall sell) participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess with each other Lenders or holders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery. Xxxxxxxx agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (y) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set-off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such excess to other Lenders and holders, and (z) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
98
Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans and other Obligations in the amount of such participation.
13.4 Disbursement of Funds
(a) Agent may, on behalf of Xxxxxxx, disburse funds to Borrower for the Revolving Advance requested or any other Advance. Each Lender shall reimburse Agent on demand for its Pro Rata Share of all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent, or if Agent so requests, each Lender shall remit to Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Advance before Agent disburses such Advance to or on account of Borrower. If Agent so elects to require that funds be made available prior to disbursement to Borrower, Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, telex or telecopy of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the funding date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay Agent such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Agent’s account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time). If Agent shall have disbursed funds to Borrower on behalf of any Lender and such Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Any repayment by Borrower required pursuant to this Section 13.4 shall be without premium or penalty. Nothing in this Section 13.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 13.5, shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
(b) As a matter of administrative convenience, as requested from time to time by a Lender, Agent may, either directly, or through one or more of its Affiliates, on behalf of one or more Lenders, disburse funds to Borrower for an Advance that is otherwise required to be funded pursuant to Section 2.1(a) by such Lender by advancing the amount thereof on behalf of such Lender (on terms to be agreed upon between Agent and such Lender (each such advance, an “Agent Advance”)). With respect to each Agent Advance, Agent or its Affiliate(s) shall have, subject to the agreed upon terms related to such Agent Advance, the right to set off against the amounts of any payments or distributions to be made to such Lender hereunder, the entire amount of such Agent Advance, together with any agreed upon interest or fees thereon, until such Agent Advance is paid in full. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13.4, or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 13.4, shall be deemed to require Agent or its Affiliates to advance funds on behalf of any Lender, whether in the form of an Agent Advance, or otherwise, or to relieve any Lender from such Lender’s obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder, or to prejudice any rights that Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
13.5 Settlements; Payments; and Information
(a) Advances; Payments; Interest and Fee Payments.
(i) The amount of the outstanding Loan may fluctuate from day to day through Agent’s disbursement of funds to or on account of, and receipt of funds from, Borrower. In order to minimize the frequency of transfers of funds between Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding terms to the contrary set forth in Section 13.4, Advances and repayments thereof may be settled according to the procedures described in Sections 13.5(a)(ii) and 13.5(a)(iii). Notwithstanding these procedures, each Lender’s obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advances made by Agent to or on account of
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
99
Xxxxxxxx will commence on the date such Advances are made by Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate a Lender to make an Advance at any time any Default or Event of Default exists. All such payments will be made by such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii) Once each week, or more frequently (including daily), if Agent so elects (each such day being a “Settlement Date”), Agent will advise each Lender by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day by telephone, telex or telecopy of the amount of each such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. In the event payments are necessary to adjust the amount of such Xxxxxx’s share of the Advances to such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, the party from which such payment is due will pay the other party, in same day funds, by wire transfer to the other’s account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Settlement Date.
(iii) On the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of each month (or, if such day shall not be a Business Day, on the next Business Day following such day) (the “Interest Settlement Date”), Agent will advise each Lender by telephone or facsimile of the amount of interest and fees charged to and collected from Borrower from and including the prior Interest Settlement Date (but excluding such current Interest Settlement Date) in respect of the Loans. Provided that such Lender has made all payments required to be made by it under this Agreement and provided that Lender has not received its Pro Rata Share of interest and fees directly from Borrower, Agent will pay to such Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender on Schedule A of this Agreement as amended by such Lender from time to time after the date hereof pursuant to the notice provisions contained herein or in the applicable Lender Addition Agreement) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day following the Interest Settlement Date, such Xxxxxx’s share of such interest and fees.”
(b) Availability of Lenders’ Pro Rata Share.
(i) Unless Agent has been notified by a Lender prior to any proposed funding date of such Xxxxxx’s intention not to fund its Pro Rata Share of an Advance, Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to Agent on the proposed funding date or the Business Day following the next Settlement Date, as applicable; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate a Lender to make an Advance at any time any Default or Event of Default exists. If such amount is not, in fact, made available to Agent by such Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii) Nothing contained in this Section 13.5(b) will be deemed to relieve a Lender of its obligation to fulfill its commitments or to prejudice any rights Agent or Borrower may have against such Lender as a result of any default by such Lender under this Agreement.
(c) Return of Payments.
(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
100
(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
13.6 Dissemination of Information
Upon request by a Lender, Agent will distribute promptly to such Lender, unless previously provided by Borrower to such Lender, copies of all notices, schedules, reports, projections, financial statements, agreements and other material and information, including, without limitation, financial and reporting information received from Borrower or generated by a third party (and excluding only internal information generated by Midtown Madison Management LLC for its own use as a Lender or as Agent and any attorney-client privileged communications or work product), as provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as received by Agent. Agent shall not be liable to any of the Lenders for any failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 13.6, except to the extent that such failure is attributed to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and results in demonstrable damages to such Xxxxxx as determined, in each case, by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and non-appealable basis.
13.7 Non-Funding Lender
(a) The failure of any Lender to make any Advance (the “Non-Funding Lender”) on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document. In the event that any Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender) shall fund such Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (any such funding Lender, a “Funding Lender”), then such Non-Funding Lender agrees immediately to pay to each Funding Lender the amount so funded by such Funding Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount was funded by such Funding Lender to, but excluding, the date of payment to each such Funding Lender, at the rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR plus three percent (3.0%). If, at a later date, such Non-Funding Lender pays the amount of its failed Pro Rata Share of the applicable Advance to the Funding Lenders, together with interest as provided above, then such amount attributable to principal shall constitute such Non-Funding Lender’s funding of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Advance. The failure of any Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of such Advance.
(b) Non-Funding Lender Commitment Assignment. An Other Lender who is not then an Affiliate of an Non-Funding Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire and assume its Pro Rata Share of an Non-Funding Lender’s then remaining Revolving Loan Commitment. Immediately upon receiving written notice from such Other Lender that it desires to acquire its Pro Rata Share of such Non-Funding Lender’s then remaining Revolving Loan Commitment, the Non-Funding Lender shall assign, in accordance with this Agreement, all
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
101
or part, as the case may be, of its Revolving Loan Commitment and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such Other Lender.
If no Other Lender elects to acquire and assume its Pro Rata Share of such Non-Funding Lender’s then remaining Revolving Loan Commitment as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph within thirty (30) calendar days of such Non-Funding Lender becoming an Non-Funding Lender, then the Borrower may, by notice (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing to the Agent and the Non-Funding Lender, (i) request such Non-Funding Lender to cooperate with the Borrower in obtaining a Replacement Lender for such Non-Funding Lender (each a “Replacement Lender”); or (ii) propose a Replacement Lender. If a Replacement Lender shall be accepted by the Agent who, at the time of determination, is neither an Non-Funding Lender nor an Affiliate of an Non-Funding Lender or an Ineligible Transferee, then such Non-Funding Lender shall assign its then remaining Revolving Loan Commitment and other rights and obligations related to unfunded Revolving Loan Commitments under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such Replacement Lender.
In either case, following the consummation of the assignment and assumption of the Non-Funding Xxxxxx’s remaining Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to one of the two immediately preceding paragraphs in this Section 13.7, any remaining Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Funding Lender shall not terminate, but shall be reduced proportionately to reflect any such assignments and assumptions, and such Non-Funding Lender shall continue to be a “Lender” hereunder with its Revolving Loan Commitment and Pro Rata Share eliminated to reflect such assignments and assumptions. Upon the effective date of such assignment(s) and assumption(s) such Replacement Lender shall, if not already a Lender, become a “Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Payments under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date any Lender or Agent makes written demand therefor.
(d) If Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or Agent, then:
(i) the sum payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.8), such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made;

(f) Each Lender that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income or is otherwise a “foreign person” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(c) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower and Agent (or, in the case of an assignment that is not disclosed to Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2, solely to the assigning Lender and Agent and not to Borrower) two (2) copies of each applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto or other forms prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from United States federal withholding Tax on all payments by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
103
becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. In addition to properly completing and duly executing Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY (or any subsequent versions thereof or successor thereto), if such Non-U.S. Lender is claiming an exemption from withholding of United States Federal income tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Lender hereby represents and warrants that (A) it is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c) of the Code, (B) it is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, (C) it has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any Tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental securities law or other legal requirements, (D) it is not a “10 percent shareholder” within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code of Borrower, (E) it is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (F) none of the interest arising from this Agreement constitutes contingent interest within the meaning of Section 871(h)(4) or Section 881(c)(4) of the Code and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall provide Agent, and Agent shall provide to Borrower (or, in the case of an assignment that is not disclosed to Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2, solely to the assigning Xxxxxx and Agent and not to Borrower), with prompt notice at any time after becoming a Lender hereunder that it can no longer make the foregoing representations and warranties. If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. (Solely for purposes of the foregoing sentence, FACTA shall include all amendments to FACTA after the date of this Agreement.) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower (or, in the case of an assignment that is not disclosed to Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2, solely to the assigning Lender and Agent and not to Borrower) at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certificate (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection (other than Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, as applicable) if, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender who makes an assignment pursuant to Section 12.2 shall indemnify and agree to hold Agent, Borrower and the other Lenders harmless from and against any United States federal withholding Tax, interest and penalties that would not have been imposed but for (i) the failure of the Affiliate that received such assignment under Section 12.2 to comply with this Section 13.8(f) or (ii) the failure of such Lender to withhold and pay such tax at the proper rate in the event such Affiliate does not comply with this Section 13.8(f) (or complies with Section 13.8(f) but delivers forms indicating it is entitled to a reduced rate of such tax). Any Lender that is a U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent (i) a properly prepared and duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive any and all payments under this Agreement and each other Loan Document free and clear from withholding of United States federal income taxes and (ii) upon Borrower’s reasonable request, such other reasonable documentation as will enable Borrower and/or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 12.2 shall, on or before the date of the effectiveness of the related transfer, be
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
104
required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements required pursuant to this Section 13.8(f) and Section 13.8(h), and shall make the representations and warranties set forth in clauses (A) – (F) above, provided that the obligations of such Participant, pursuant to this Section 13.8(f) and Section 13.8(h), shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.
(g) Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States federal withholding or income Tax pursuant to Section 13.8(d) to any Lender or Agent or to indemnify any Lender or Agent pursuant to Section 13.8(c) to the extent that (i) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with its obligations under Section 13.8(f) for any reason; (ii) with respect to a Lender, the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to the United States federal withholding Tax existed on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement or, with respect to payments to a lending office newly designated by a Lender (a “New Lending Office”), the date such Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to the applicable Loan; provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the extent the additional amounts any Lender (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (ii)) do not exceed the additional amounts that the Person making the transfer, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such transfer or designation; (iii) such Lender is claiming an exemption from withholding of United States Federal income Tax under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code but is unable at any time to make the representations and warranties set forth in clauses (A) – (F) of Section 13.8(f) or (iv) any withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA.
(h) Each Non-U.S. Lender agrees to provide Xxxxxxxx and the Agent, upon the reasonable request of Borrower, such other forms or documents as may be reasonably required under Applicable Law in order to establish an exemption from or eligibility for a reduction in the rate or imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes. If, at any time, Borrower requests any Lender to deliver any such additional forms or other documentation, then Borrower shall, on demand of such Lender through Agent, reimburse such Lender for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) reasonably incurred by such Lender in the preparation or delivery of such forms or other documentation.
(i) If Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender or Agent pursuant to this Section 13.8, then such Lender or Agent shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by Borrower or to designate a Lending Office from a different jurisdiction (if such a Lending Office exists) so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payments by Borrower which may accrue in the future if such filing or changes in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Agent, would not require such Lender to disclose information such Lender deems confidential and is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Agent.
(j) If Agent or a Lender, in its reasonable judgment, receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.8, it shall promptly pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 13.8 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) and any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay the applicable refund to such Governmental Authority.
Katapult SPV-1 LLC – Loan and Security Agreement
105
(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Agent is required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes or any other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any Lender by Borrower or Agent, the Agent shall not be required to make any gross-up payment to or in respect of such Lender, except to the extent that a corresponding gross-up payment is actually received by Agent from Borrower.
(l) Any Xxxxxx claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Section 13.8 shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
The agreements and obligations of Borrower in this Section 13.8 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.
13.9 Patriot Act
Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Agent and each Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. Borrower shall, promptly following a request by Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” an anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.
