AMENDED AND RESTATED
INSTALLMENT FINANCING SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Installment Financing Services Agreement (together with all exhibits and schedules, the “Agreement”), dated as of November 10, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated Effective Date”), is entered into by and among (a) AFFIRM, INC., a financial services technology company incorporated in Delaware (“Affirm”) and (b) AMAZON.COM SERVICES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Amazon Services”), AMAZON PAYMENTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Amazon Payments”), and each Covered Amazon Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) (each a “Covered Amazon Affiliate”, and together with Amazon Services, Amazon Payments and Affirm, collectively, the “Parties”, and each individually, a “Party”). Amazon Services, Amazon Payments and a Covered Amazon Affiliate may also be referred to herein individually as “Amazon”. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Installment Financing Services Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2021, by and between Amazon Services and Affirm.
In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Party, Affirm and the Amazon Parties agree as follows:
1.DEFINITIONS.
1.1Definitions. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms have the meaning set forth in Schedule 1.1.
1.2Interpretation. In this Agreement, except where the context requires otherwise:
(A)uses of the words “includes” and “including” mean “includes, without limitation” and “including, without limitation,” as applicable;
(B)headings and captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not affect the interpretation or meaning of this Agreement or constitute a limitation of the terms of this Agreement;
(C)unless otherwise stated, any reference in this Agreement to a Section, Schedule or Exhibit will be deemed to reference the applicable Section, Schedule or Exhibit of this Agreement;
(D)a reference to time is to local time in the Territory, standard or daylight savings as applicable;
1


CONFIDENTIAL

(E)if a day on or by which an obligation must be performed or an event must occur is not a Business Day, the obligation must be performed or the event must occur on or by the next Business Day; and
(F)unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, the word “agree” means agree in writing.
1.3Covered Amazon Affiliates. The Parties agree that upon the execution and delivery of a Covered Affiliate Counterpart by a Covered Amazon Affiliate and Affirm in connection with adding the Amazon Affiliate Site(s) identified in such Covered Affiliate Counterpart as Participating Site(s) under the Program, such Covered Amazon Affiliate will become a party to this Agreement and all references to “Amazon” in this Agreement will be deemed to reference such Covered Amazon Affiliate as the context requires, in each case solely with respect to its participation in the Program, the offering and issuance of Program Credit on the applicable Amazon Affiliated Site(s), and its actions, inactions and omissions on its own behalf conducted under this Agreement. Upon the addition of a Covered Amazon Affiliate as a party to this Agreement, the Parties may amend Schedule 12.2 in order to add any trademarks owned by such Covered Amazon Affiliate as a Trademark hereunder. Each Covered Amazon Affiliate may terminate its participation in this Agreement without any termination penalty or fee upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Affirm. If any Covered Amazon Affiliate terminates its participation in this Agreement, the license granted in Section 12.2 for that Covered Amazon Affiliate shall be revoked and the Parties will amend Schedule 12.2 to remove any Trademarks owned by such Covered Amazon Affiliate. Termination by a Covered Amazon Affiliate of its participation in this Agreement will not automatically result in termination of this Agreement with any other Amazon Party.
1.4Individual Liability. Any reference to “Amazon” or a particular “Amazon Party” in this Agreement will refer to and only apply to that certain Amazon Party’s participation in the Program, or exercising rights, performing obligations or making representations and warranties under this Agreement. No Amazon Party is liable for the performance or obligations of any other Amazon Party under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Covered Affiliate Counterpart shall constitute a separate agreement between Affirm and that Covered Amazon Affiliate, and no expiration, termination or breach of any Covered Affiliate Counterpart shall constitute an expiration, termination or breach, or otherwise affect in any manner, any other Covered Affiliate Counterpart. The parties executing the applicable Covered Affiliate Counterpart shall be solely responsible for all of the liabilities and obligations under this Agreement as they relate to such Covered Affiliate Counterpart.
2.ISSUANCE OF PROGRAM CREDIT.
2.1General Program Responsibilities.
2


CONFIDENTIAL

(A)The Amazon Parties may market the Program to Amazon Customers on the Participating Sites in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and fulfill their other responsibilities set out in this Agreement.
(B)Affirm will provide access to Program Credit to Eligible Applicants and fulfill its other responsibilities set out in this Agreement, and Affirm’s Affiliate or Bank will issue Program Credit to Approved Customers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any reference to “Affirm” in relation to the provision, issuance, extension, or servicing of credit in this Agreement shall refer to Affirm or Affirm’s Affiliate(s), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, Affirm, Inc. is not the creditor for Program Credits originated by Bank or Affirm’s Affiliate, Affirm Loan Services, LLC.
2.2Scheduled Launch Date.
(A)General Obligations. Each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Program Launch Date occurs no later than the Scheduled Launch Date. After the Effective Date and prior to the Scheduled Launch Date, each Party will report weekly to the Steering Committee on its efforts to launch the Program in accordance with this Agreement and the Technical Specifications. If there are any changes to the scope, solution design and/or requirements of the Program, Amazon Services and Affirm, acting reasonably, will seek to mutually agree whether the Scheduled Launch Date should be amended and, if so, the Parties will record the new Scheduled Launch Date in writing. On and after the Program Launch Date, (i) [***] Affirm will provide the Affirm-Hosted Solution, in each case in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) Affirm or Affirm’s Affiliate(s) will offer, in partnership with Bank, if applicable, Program Credit to Eligible Applicants to finance the purchase of Eligible Products on or through Participating Sites and will issue Program Credit to or facilitate the issuance of Program Credit by Bank to Approved Customers, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement and the Technical Specifications. Not in limitation of Section 1.3 above, Amazon Services and Affirm may also agree to make the Program Application available on other Participating Sites.
(B)Display and Availability.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to Amazon Scheduled Downtime, Amazon Unplanned Outages, each Party’s resolution of any Dial-Up Issues, and [***], during the period starting November 10, 2021 and ending on the
3


CONFIDENTIAL

earlier of (i) the end of the Term and (ii) the third anniversary of the Amended and Restated Effective Date, Amazon will [***]; and (y) make available to each Amazon Customer with a Basket worth at least the applicable Minimum Basket Amount (other than any Amazon Customer who has previously applied for, and been declined for, an Affirm installment offer in the previous twelve (12) months) the option to apply for or use Program Credit to finance the purchase of Eligible Products on the Payment Method Selection Interface; provided that, in each case, Amazon will not be subject to (y) above for the periods during which (1) a system outage or issue that affects the Amazon Site as a whole or the general availability of customers to checkout, including the ability to select and make payments for purchases on the Amazon Site, or (2) the Affirm Systems are not “available” or Affirm has Scheduled Downtime or an Unplanned Outage in accordance with Section 2.1 of Schedule 4.1 of the Agreement.
(C)Delay. Each of Amazon Services and Affirm will notify the other Party promptly by email, but in any case within 5 Business Days, of any factor, occurrence, or event coming to its attention that may affect such Party’s ability to meet the Scheduled Launch Date. In the event of any delay, the Parties will use all reasonable efforts to launch as soon as reasonably possible after the Scheduled Launch Date on a date agreed by Amazon Services and Affirm. In the event that a launch delay is due to a cause solely attributable to Affirm, without limiting the provisions of this Section 2.2, Affirm will pay the amount referred to in Section 7.1(B) and exercise additional efforts, as described below, to promptly cure the cause of such delay and meet the applicable schedule or be prepared to launch on a date as soon as reasonably possible thereafter as agreed in writing by Amazon Services and Affirm. Such efforts will include assigning a high priority to curing such delay beyond Affirm’s normal business procedures, including adding Personnel, retaining technical and information technology consultants, procuring necessary equipment or software, working beyond normal hours and/or incurring additional expenses to the extent Affirm reasonably determines such actions would materially assist in promptly resolving the reason for delay. For the avoidance of doubt, a launch delay will be deemed to have been solely attributable to Affirm for purposes of this Section 2.2(C) if such launch delay could reasonably have been prevented through actions solely within Affirm’s direct control.
2.3Program Features.
(A)Initial Terms and Program Features. The initial Key Credit Terms, Pricing Options, other initial features of Program Credit,
4


CONFIDENTIAL

and other terms related to the Key Credit Terms and Program Credit are specified in Schedule 2.3(A)(1), or, for Program Credits issued for purchases on Processed Merchant Sites, Schedule 2.3(A)(2). Affirm will enable each Approved Customer to use Program Credit to finance a purchase of a Basket in accordance with the applicable Installment Credit Agreement up to the applicable amount for which such Approved Customer has been approved in connection with such purchase. Affirm, either on its own behalf or on behalf of Bank, and Amazon Services will determine (i) the Key Credit Terms to be offered to Amazon Customers with respect to the Program (as such terms may be amended by agreement between Amazon Services and Affirm from time to time in accordance with Section 2.3(C) and Section 4 of Schedule 2.3(A)(1)) and (ii) the Pricing Options. Amazon Services will determine, in its sole discretion from time to time, the Pricing Options and the Financing Terms that will be offered and marketed to Amazon Customers.
(B)Program Branding. The Amazon brand will be the primary branding for the Program in customer-facing placements that are [***] on the Amazon Site and other Participating Sites. Subject to compliance with Applicable Law and Section 2.4 below, Affirm’s branding and/or brand name will appear in customer-facing materials to the extent necessary to make it clear to applicants and Approved Customers that Affirm, or Bank, as applicable, is the lender in respect of Program Credits.
(C)Changes to Terms. Unless otherwise agreed by Amazon Services, mandated by Applicable Law, Affirm will not make any changes to the Key Credit Terms or charge any fees, pricing or charges to any Approved Customer other than those specified in Schedule 2.3(A)(1) or, for Program Credits issued for purchases on Processed Merchant Sites, Schedule 2.3(A)(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) solely with respect to certain Eligible Products in the [***] product category selected by Amazon in its discretion, Amazon may reduce the Minimum Basket Amount for the 24-month Financing Term to an amount not less than [***] by providing prior written notice to Affirm, and (ii) the Steering Committee may approve any other change to the Minimum Basket Amount applicable to any Financing Term as specified in Schedule 2.3(A)(1), it being understood and agreed that to the extent the Steering Committee approves any reduction to the Minimum Basket Amount applicable to any Financing Term, all other terms applicable to such Financing Term (including the relevant Subsidy rates and APR ranges) will remain in effect unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Affirm will provide prior written notice to Amazon Services of any changes mandated by Applicable Law.

2.4Design and Printing of Statements and Other Materials. Affirm will design Program Credit statements and any other general or regulatory-related mailings or communications sent to declined applicants for Program Credit, Eligible Applicants and Approved Customers in the ordinary course of administering the Program (collectively, “Program Credit Materials”), including certain communications related to pre-charge-off delinquency, in each case subject to Applicable Law.

Upon Affirm’s or Bank’s determination to approve, pend, or decline a Program Application under the Application Process as set forth in Schedule 3.1, and in compliance with Applicable Law, Affirm will relay such determination to Amazon Services. For each Program Application that is approved, Affirm or Bank, as applicable, will issue Program Credit for use by the Approved Customer to finance the purchase of the applicable Basket.
(B)[***]
(C)Criteria. Applicants will not be declined for any Program Application in whole or in part (1) on any basis inconsistent with Applicable Law, or (2) solely on the basis that the applicant is an existing holder of Program Credit, any Installment Credit Financing Program account with Affirm or Bank, or Other Finance Products issued by Affirm, Bank, or any of their respective Affiliates.
(D)Acknowledgements. Affirm acknowledges that no Amazon Party is in any way responsible for credit decisions on Program Applications and Affirm is solely responsible for complying with the requirements of Applicable Law in relation to the issuance of Program Credit.

The forms of Installment Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date are attached as Exhibit A hereto.

Without limiting anything else in this Agreement, no Installment Credit Agreement may (A) include any term or condition that is (1) inconsistent with this Agreement or (2) except with respect to the annual percentage rate and interest rate, more restrictive or less favorable to any Approved Customer compared to the least restrictive or most favorable loan or credit agreements that Affirm uses in connection with other Installment Credit Financing Programs that it operates or (B) create or purport to create a right, obligation or liability, either expressly or by operation of law, on behalf of any Amazon Party.
3.PROGRAM APPLICATION PROCEDURES
3.1General. Amazon Services and Affirm will implement an online application procedure for Program Credit (“Application Process”), as more fully described in Schedule 3.1. Either Party may propose updates to the contents of the Program Application, which updates will be subject to the other Party’s Prior Approval; provided, that Affirm will have sole discretion over any such updates required by Applicable Law. Amazon Services will have sole discretion regarding the design (i.e., look and feel) of the Program Application, other than any aspect of such design that is specifically required by Applicable Law, which will require Affirm’s Prior Approval. Affirm will create and maintain necessary tools in order to (A) provide the Affirm Program Application Hosting Services on the Affirm Site; (B) receive Application Data; (C) transmit to Amazon Services the Result Data; (D) provide a methodology for Amazon Services to simulate and display to Amazon Customers the payment details on each Participating Site; and (E) permit

3.3Payment Instructions. Each Approved Customer will pay the proceeds of the Program Credit to Affirm and Affirm will pay Amazon Services or Amazon Payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Program Application, Installment Credit Agreement and Program Credit Materials, as applicable, will clearly state that the Approved Customer’s obligation to repay the Program Credit is to Affirm and not any Amazon Party or Processed Merchant, as the case may be, and that the Approved Customer must direct all repayments to Affirm only.
4.CUSTOMER SERVICE.
4.1Staffing. Affirm will maintain, at its own expense, an adequately trained staff for servicing of customer inquiries and complaints arising in connection with any Program Credit, Installment Credit Agreements and other aspects of the Program, in accordance with Affirm’s established customer service procedures, Applicable Law and the minimum customer service standards set forth in Section 1 of Schedule 4.1 (“Customer Service Standards”). Affirm will (i) provide customer service to Approved Customers at levels that are at least as high as the highest customer service levels applied to any of Affirm’s other borrowers and/or customers (excluding any such customer service to other borrowers or customers in respect of whom a third party has provided additional funding or contribution to enhance their customer service) and (ii) direct Approved Customers to contact Amazon Services or the applicable Processed Merchant regarding any inquiries or complaints with respect to the sale or shipment of Eligible Products and, in the case of purchases made on a Participating Site other than a Processed Merchant Site, provide the Approved Customers with contact information for customer service for the applicable Participating Site. Amazon Services will answer only basic questions about the Program through its customer service channels, and will otherwise direct Approved Customers or prospective applicants to contact Affirm regarding any and all inquiries concerning Program Credit, the Installment Credit Agreement, or Program Applications. Affirm will also ensure that all customer service centers serving the Program operate under the AFFIRM brand, and that each customer service representative or technical support representative is capable of providing courteous and effective support in English. In addition, Affirm will provide
8


CONFIDENTIAL

Approved Customers with online access to information regarding their Program Credit as set forth in Section 4.2 below. Affirm will ensure sufficient levels of staffing and resources to meet the Customer Service Standards at all times during the Term. The Parties agree to the other performance-related terms set forth on Schedule 4.1.
4.2Online Services
(A)Affirm Site. As of the Program Launch Date, Affirm will permit each Approved Customer to access information relating to any Program Credits issued to such Approved Customer on the Affirm Site in accordance with Schedule 4.2. Subject to Affirm’s Prior Approval, following the Program Launch Date, Amazon Services may place one or more advertisements for Approved Customers designed by Amazon on the Affirm Site (including, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, that portion of the Affirm Site where Approved Customers may log in to view the details regarding their Program Credit(s)); provided that Affirm shall have final approval over any such advertisements, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, to ensure compliance with Applicable Law.
(B)Electronic Communications. To the extent that the Parties communicate with Approved Customers through other electronic means, including mobile text messaging and e-mail, Amazon Services and Affirm will agree on the domains and/or other identifiers and accounts used for such communications.
4.3    Customer Disputes.
(A)Amazon Customer Disputes. With respect to Participating Sites (except for Processed Merchant Sites, which will be subject to Section 4.3(B)), Affirm will direct all disputes, inquiries, or complaints by an Approved Customer related to the Eligible Products or Amazon business (each, a “Amazon Customer Dispute”) to Amazon for Amazon to resolve in accordance with its applicable policies. Amazon will work in good faith to resolve each Amazon Customer Dispute in a timely manner. In connection with any Amazon Customer Dispute that Amazon is unable to so resolve, upon Affirm’s reasonable request so that Affirm may investigate and resolve the dispute, Amazon agrees to provide Affirm with (a) shipping carrier and tracking information, and (b) such other relevant information as the Parties may agree.
(B)Processed Merchant Customer Disputes. With respect to Processed Merchant Sites, Affirm will first direct all first-time Processed Merchant Customer Disputes to Amazon Payments for
9


CONFIDENTIAL

Amazon Payments to resolve in accordance with its applicable policies (such first-time contact, the “First Dispute Notice”). Amazon Payments will work in good faith to resolve each Processed Merchant Customer Dispute in a timely manner. If an Approved Customer contacts Affirm regarding any such Processed Merchant Customer Dispute following the First Dispute Notice and provides evidence that Amazon Payments has not sufficiently resolved the Processed Merchant Customer Dispute, Affirm will reasonably assist in facilitating resolution of the Processed Merchant Customer Dispute in accordance with its customer dispute resolution procedures located at: https://docs.affirm.com/affirm-developers/docs/dispute-resolutions (the “Affirm CDRP”). If required in accordance with the Affirm CDRP, Affirm will request evidence related to a Processed Merchant from Amazon Payments, and Amazon Payments will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant Processed Merchant to provide evidence to Affirm in accordance with the Affirm CDRP. In the event such evidence is not sufficient for Affirm to resolve a Processed Merchant Customer Dispute in accordance with the Affirm CDRP, Affirm will notify Amazon Payments and Amazon Payments will (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to contact the Processed Merchant again for additional evidence that Affirm requests; or (ii) enable Affirm to contact the Processed Merchant directly. Notwithstanding Section 4 of the Affirm CDRP and solely with respect to a Processed Merchant Customer Dispute, if Affirm resolves a Processed Merchant Customer Dispute in favor of the Processed Merchant, the Processed Merchant will not be liable for any amount of principal or interest related to the disputed transaction, and any funds withheld related to the disputed transaction will be released to Amazon Payments. If Affirm resolves a Processed Merchant Customer Dispute in favor of an Approved Customer, Affirm will retain the disputed amount.

5.MARKETING AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT.
5.1General.
(A)Marketing Responsibilities. The Amazon Parties will have general responsibility for marketing the Program to Amazon Customers and will design, develop, and promote the Program on the Participating Sites as they may determine from time to time in their sole discretion, and may select the Pricing Options and Financing Terms that will be provided and marketed to Amazon Customers in its sole discretion, subject to Section 5.2. Affirm will market and promote the Program on the Affirm Site and its other marketing channels as agreed by the Parties, subject to Section 5.2.
10


CONFIDENTIAL

Amazon agrees to comply with Applicable Law in marketing, offering, and presenting Program Credit to Amazon Customers on channels owned or otherwise controlled by Amazon.
(B)Marketing Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amazon Services and Affirm will work together to develop and implement a written plan describing marketing, advertising and other promotional activities for the Program, and to make potential applicants for Program Credit aware of and promote the use of the Program (the “Marketing Plan”). The Parties will work together in good faith to develop an initial Marketing Plan within 60 days of the Effective Date. Once complete, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to execute the Marketing Plan in accordance with its terms. On a quarterly basis, or such other intervals as Amazon Services and Affirm may agree upon, the Parties will meet to evaluate the execution and effectiveness of the Marketing Plan, to consider any modifications to the Marketing Plan and to coordinate on the development and implementation of any other marketing initiatives. The Marketing Plan and any other marketing initiatives under this Agreement may be modified from time to time upon mutual agreement of Amazon Services and Affirm.
(1)Additional Amazon Marketing Initiatives.

6.7Program Personnel.
(A)Affirm Program Team. Without limiting any other Affirm obligation under this Agreement to provide Personnel in support of the Program, Affirm will appoint [***] a Program Manager [***].

The Processed Merchant will be liable for any loss, and such loss will be considered a Processed Merchant Loss, resulting from such transaction if (i) Affirm, or an authorized agent acting on Affirm’s behalf, notifies Amazon Payments that a transaction is fraudulent or likely fraudulent before a Purchased Good has shipped, and (ii) the Processed Merchant subsequently ships or provides the applicable Purchased Good despite such information. If Affirm notifies Amazon Payments that a transaction is fraudulent after the applicable Purchased Good has shipped, but before the applicable Purchased Good is delivered or otherwise made available to an Approved
18


CONFIDENTIAL

Customer, Amazon Payments will promptly but no later than three (3) hours from such notice (the “Stop Shipment Notice Period”) instruct the Processed Merchant to recall the shipment, or, as applicable for services or electronically delivered Purchased Goods, cancel the provision of the applicable Purchased Goods. If Amazon Payments fails to notify the Processed Merchant during the Stop Shipment Notice Period, Amazon Payments will be liable for any loss resulting from fraud relating to such transaction. Affirm and Amazon Payments will work in good faith to develop a technology-enabled solution for fraud notifications in accordance with this Section 6.8(E).

19


CONFIDENTIAL

Credit Agreement between Affirm and the Approved Customer will be issued by Affirm. In the case of any purchase made on a Processed Merchant Site, the Program Credit under the Installment Credit Agreement between Affirm and the Approved Customer will be issued by Affirm [***].
(E)Settlement of Program Credit Proceeds. (1) In the case of any purchase made on a Participating Site other than a Processed Merchant Site, upon Affirm’s receipt of confirmation from Amazon that the last Purchased Good in a Basket has shipped, or (2) in the case of any purchase made on a Processed Merchant Site, [***], Affirm will initiate payment to Amazon Services or Amazon Payments, as the case may be, [***], of an amount equal to the entire loan proceeds under the Installment Credit Agreement approved for that Basket, which amount will equal the sum of the Basket Amount due from Affirm to Amazon, less any (i) Subsidy (as applicable) with respect to that Installment Credit Agreement, (ii) in the case of payments made to Amazon Payments, Affirm MDR, and (iii) Processed Merchant Losses (the “Settled Loan Proceeds”). Thirty days following the end of each month during the Term, Affirm will also pay to Amazon Payments the aggregate amount of Rev Share in respect of Program Credits relating to all transactions processed through the Amazon Pay Widget on Processed Merchant Sites during the immediately preceding month in accordance with Section 4.7 of Schedule 2.3(A)(2) less any Rev Share previously paid to Amazon Payments that corresponds to Full Order Cancellations, Partial Order Cancellations, Warranty Partial Order Cancellations or Amazon Concessions processed during such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to purchases made on a Participating Site other than a Processed Merchant Site, if any item in a Basket has not shipped (a “Delayed Item”) by the Settlement Cutoff Date then (x) Affirm will, in conjunction with Bank, as applicable, reduce the principal amount of the corresponding Program Credit as if the applicable Approved Customer had initiated a Partial Order Cancellation with respect to such Delayed Item in accordance with Section 6.11(C), and (y) by the first Business Day to occur after the Settlement Cutoff Date, Affirm will initiate payment to Amazon Services of an amount equal to the loan proceeds under the Installment Credit Agreement approved for that Basket (for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the principal reduction described in the immediately preceding clause (x)). The “Settlement Cutoff Date” means the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days (if Affirm receives one-time, prior Bank approval), or otherwise sixty (60) days, after the entire loan proceeds under the Installment Credit Agreement were approved for a Basket. The Parties will mutually agree upon communications to Approved Customers relating to a
20


CONFIDENTIAL

Partial Order Cancellation for a Delayed Item. Affirm may not otherwise reduce or set off against the Settled Loan Proceeds, except for (i) any Subsidy due to Affirm with respect to that Installment Credit Agreement as set forth in Schedule 2.3(A)(1) or Schedule 2.3(A)(2), as applicable, (ii) refunds arising from Full Order Cancellations, Partial Order Cancellations, Warranty Partial Order Cancellations or Amazon Concessions, in each case communicated to Affirm by Amazon as set forth in Section 6.11; or (iii) Processed Merchant Losses. Affirm will transmit Settled Loan Proceeds to one or more accounts of Amazon Services or its Affiliates specified by Amazon Services. Until or unless Affirm Loan Services, LLC obtains its own money transmission license(s) as applicable, Affirm Loan Services, LLC may collect an Approved Customer’s initial, one-time partial payment of the applicable purchase price (i.e., down payments) on behalf of a Processed Merchant through the Amazon Pay Widget in connection with a transaction made on a Participating Site under this Agreement (each a “Partial Payment”). Each payment by an Approved Customer to Affirm Loan Services, LLC will be considered the same as a payment made directly to the applicable Processed Merchant. Amazon Payments understands that Affirm Loan Services, LLC’s obligation to transmit a Partial Payment to Amazon Payments in accordance with Affirm’s terms and conditions with the applicable Processed Merchant is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated Partial Payment from Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to Program Credits originated by Bank, Bank will disburse the Settled Loan Proceeds to Amazon; and with respect to Program Credits originated by Affirm’s Affiliate, Affirm Loan Services, LLC, such Affirm Affiliate will disburse the Settled Loan Proceeds to Amazon. With respect to Program Credits relating to transactions processed through the Amazon Pay Widget on Processed Merchant Sites, Settled Loan Proceeds will be disbursed to Amazon Payments. With respect to Program Credits relating to transactions processed through Participating Sites that do not include Processed Merchant Sites, Settled Loan Proceeds will be disbursed to Amazon Services or the applicable Covered Affiliate.
(F)Remittance File. Affirm will make available to Amazon Services settlement information with respect to the aggregate amount of Settled Loan Proceeds owed to Amazon Services for each calendar day (the “Aggregate Daily Settlement Amount”) in the Remittance File to enable Amazon Services to reconcile the amount due to Amazon Services for Purchased Goods for that calendar day against the Settled Loan Proceeds Affirm has paid to Amazon Services for that calendar day. The settlement information will include both aggregate and individual transaction
21


CONFIDENTIAL

information (the “Settlement Information”) necessary to enable Amazon Services to reconcile the amount due to Amazon Services, debits to that amount attributable to Full Order Cancellations, Partial Order Cancellations, Warranty Partial Order Cancellations, Installment Credit Agreements cancellations and Amazon Concessions, each in accordance with Section 6.11, and such additional information described in the Technical Specifications or as the Parties agree is reasonably required for Amazon Services to identify and reconcile the Aggregate Daily Settlement Amount. The Remittance File will be created each Business Day detailing the remittance of Aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the Business Day and for any previous calendar days that had not been included in the last Remittance File (such period, the “Remittance File Period”), except in the event that the report is empty because there were no Settled Loan Proceeds for such Remittance File Period or in the event that the sum of Aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for such Remittance File Period is zero or negative; it being understood that on the next following Business Day when the sum of Aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for such Remittance File Period is positive, Affirm will make available the Settlement Information for each calendar day (by calendar day) that has occurred since, and that was not included in, any previous Remittance File that was made available to Amazon Services.
(G)Inability to Reconcile. If Amazon Services is unable to reconcile the Aggregate Daily Settlement Amount to its satisfaction, Amazon Services will notify Affirm within sixty (60) days following the date on which Amazon Services received the relevant Remittance File from Affirm. Affirm will have (i) ten (10) Business Days from receipt of Amazon Services’ notice to provide the information necessary for Amazon Services to complete the reconciliation in a subsequent Remittance File, and (ii) forty five (45) days from receipt of Amazon Services’ notice to develop a solution that will ensure Amazon Services’ ability to successfully reconcile Aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts in the future; provided, that if Affirm reasonably determines that any solution to be developed in accordance with the preceding clause (ii) requires custom engineering or product work that will take longer than forty five (45) days from receipt of Amazon Services’ notice to implement, then the Parties will mutually agree upon a reasonable amount of time to complete the solution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that during any period (x) beginning on the date on which Affirm receives a notice from Amazon Services of its inability to reconcile the Aggregate Daily Settlement Amount and (y) ending on the date on which a solution to ensure Amazon Services’ ability to again successfully reconcile Aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts has been
22


CONFIDENTIAL

implemented, Affirm will continue to pay the Aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts requested by Amazon Services in accordance with Section 6.10(E).
(H)Missing, Corrupt or Incomplete Remittance File. If Amazon Services does not receive a Remittance File on a Business Day or receives a Remittance File that it determines is corrupt or incomplete, Amazon Services will notify Affirm within one (1) Business Day following the date that Amazon Services receives such Remittance File, and Affirm will have (i) two (2) Business Days from receipt of Amazon Services’ notice to Affirm to provide a replacement Remittance File for Amazon Services to complete the reconciliation and (ii) thirty (30) days to develop a solution that will ensure Amazon Services’ ability to successfully reconcile Aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts in the future.
6.11Cancellations and Returns. Amazon Services will notify Affirm of Full Order Cancellations, Partial Order Cancellations, Warranty Partial Order Cancellations and Amazon Concessions in accordance with the Technical Specifications. Amazon Services and its Affiliates will process claims by Approved Customers for timely delivery and condition of goods in connection with Purchased Goods sold and fulfilled by third party sellers operating on the Amazon Site in accordance with the Return Policies (e.g., the Amazon “A-to-Z Guarantee”), and Amazon Services and its Affiliates will not unfairly discriminate against users of Program Credit compared to Amazon Customers using other payment methods with respect to such claims. All disputes, inquiries, or complaints by an Approved Customer related to Processed Merchant products or business (each, a “Processed Merchant Customer Dispute”) will be first directed to the applicable Processed Merchant to resolve in accordance with such Processed Merchant’s applicable policies. With respect to Amazon’s A-to-Z Guarantee claims, Amazon may adjudicate the Processed Merchant Customer Dispute.

(D)Warranty Partial Order Cancellations. For returns of one or more Purchased Goods in a Basket due to a warranty claim (a “Warranty Partial Order Cancellation”), an Approved Customer must exercise his or her right to return such Purchased Goods during the applicable warranty period as provided by the manufacturer. If Amazon Services or the applicable Processed Merchant, as the case may be, is unable to provide the same replacement item or a similar replacement item that is valued at an amount that is equal or greater than such Purchased Goods to replace such Purchased Goods, Amazon Services will notify Affirm of Warranty Partial Order Cancellations by the Approved Customer on the date of (1) receipt by Amazon Services of such returned Purchased Goods, in the case of any purchase made on a Participating Site other than a Processed Merchant Site, or (2) receipt by Amazon Payments of a notification from the applicable Processed Merchant that a refund should be processed, in the case of any purchase made on a Processed Merchant Site, in each case in accordance with the Technical Specifications.

6.12 Sale, Pledge, Assignment, Securitization of Program Credit. Subject to Applicable Law, Affirm and its Affiliates may sell, pledge, assign or securitize the Program Credits or any part thereof at any time during the Term of this Agreement; provided, that no such action will adversely affect or limit any of the rights of the Amazon Parties or obligations of Affirm under this Agreement. In the event that Affirm sells, pledges, assigns or securitizes any Program Credit as contemplated by this Section 6.12, no Trademark of any Amazon Party or their Affiliates will be used in any sale, pledge, assignment or securitization documents without Amazon Services’ Prior Approval; provided, that the foregoing sentence shall in no way prohibit Affirm from designating the Amazon Parties as the merchant for any applicable Program Credits in the normal course of documenting such sale, pledge, assignment or securitization.
6.13Excusable Delays and Force Majeure Events. Any delay under this Agreement will be excused to the extent approved in writing by the Parties. Any delay in the performance by a Party of its obligations (other than obligation of payment of amounts due, including any Aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts, unless banking systems are generally unavailable) under this Agreement will be excused when the delay in performance is due to any external, unforeseeable cause or event of any nature whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of such Party (a “Force Majeure Event”), including any act of God; any fire, flood or

CONFIDENTIAL

weather condition; any pandemic; any earthquake; any act of a public enemy, war, terrorism, insurrection, riot, explosion or strike; provided, that written notice of a Force Majeure Event must be given by such Party to the other Party within 30 days after the start of the Force Majeure Event. For the avoidance of doubt, any reasonably foreseeable change to Applicable Law that results in increased compliance burden for Affirm will not constitute a Force Majeure Event. No Force Majeure Event will negate Affirm’s obligation to meet Performance Standards if the failure could have been prevented through the use of a disaster recovery and business continuity plan or a Redundant Facility or other reasonable precautions for a Force Majeure Event.
6.14Disaster Recovery. Affirm agrees that it will conduct regular and periodic data back-ups of all systems and files. During the Term, Affirm will maintain a disaster recovery and business continuity plan that includes data back-ups and such facilities, computer equipment and software, power-back up, telecommunications, Personnel and other resources as are necessary to provide back-up and fail over functionality of Affirm’s data facilities and systems (including the Affirm Systems) (the “Redundant Facility”) to support all of Affirm’s obligations with respect to the Program in the event that such facilities experience a significant interruption or impairment of operation. Each Redundant Facility will be located in a facility physically and geographically separate from Affirm’s primary facility. Affirm will conduct an annual audit of its disaster recovery plan and its Redundant Facility [***]. As used in this Section 6.14, the term “fail over” means that, if any event (including a Force Majeure Event) impairs the operation of Affirm’s primary facility, the applicable functions will be transferred to the Redundant Facility without significant interruption, [***].

In the event Amazon provides any such Additional Amazon Data, Affirm will be permitted to use such Additional Amazon Data solely for the prevention or detection of fraud in connection with the Program (the “Permitted Purpose”) and for no other purpose. For clarity and not in limitation of the foregoing, in no event will Affirm use, or permit any third party to use, any Additional Amazon Data for purposes of, or in connection with, making an eligibility decision or credit underwriting decision, or in any other manner that would cause such Additional Amazon Data to be deemed “eligibility information” (as such term is defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended).

Not in limitation of the requirements set forth in Exhibit B, to the extent that any Amazon Party is implementing any APIs, code or other software from Affirm or its subcontractors in order to integrate a Participating Site with Affirm’s systems or otherwise in connection with Affirm’s provision of its services, such Amazon Party will have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Affirm, and at such Amazon Party’s sole cost, to inspect and review such APIs, code or software, as applicable, to verify the security thereof (each such review, a “Software Security Review”). Each Software Security Review will be conducted, at the applicable Amazon Party’s option, by an independent organization reasonably acceptable to Affirm that specializes in application security or by such Amazon Party’s own security team, which in each case shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 10 (General Confidentiality Obligations). Each Software Security Review will cover all aspects of the relevant software, including third party components and libraries.

16.5Adverse Change in Applicable Law.
(A)In addition to any other termination right set forth in this Article 16, if at any time after the Effective Date a change in Applicable Law or its application by any court or Governmental Authority prohibits or materially impairs a Party’s ability to operate the Program or perform any of its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (collectively, an “Adverse Change”), the Party whose performance obligations are impaired may terminate the Agreement as of the effective date of the Adverse Change or at any time thereafter within 180 days following the effective date of the Adverse Change; provided, however, that the impaired Party must first initiate the escalation process set forth in Section 6.1(D) by providing written notice to the other Party of the Adverse Change taking effect. The written notice of Adverse Change must also describe the Adverse Change. An Adverse Change includes a change that materially impairs a Party’s ability to perform its material obligations under this Agreement but does not include any events of change that have solely a financial impact on a Party. The Parties will meet according to the dispute escalation process set forth in Section 6.1(D) to address potential changes to the Program as a result of the Adverse Change. If the Parties are unable to agree to such changes using the dispute escalation process set forth in Section 6.1(D), then the impaired Party may terminate this Agreement by providing 30 days’ prior written notice of termination to the other Party. Notwithstanding the
51


CONFIDENTIAL

foregoing, if a Party’s performance is impaired by an Adverse Change, but the other Party proposes a reasonable solution or work-around to address or mitigate that Adverse Change that does not impose an undue burden on the impaired Party, then the impaired Party will promptly implement that solution or work-around and the impaired Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not be excused by that Adverse Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Affirm nor any Amazon Party will, and neither of them will be obligated to, take any action that it believes in good faith, based on reasonable investigation with qualified counsel, would violate, or is reasonably likely to cause it to violate, any Applicable Law or its privacy policies, it being understood that this sentence will not be interpreted to alter or limit either Party’s representations or warranties in Article 11 (Representations and Warranties; Covenants) made on the Effective Date or the Parties’ rights and obligations in Article 14 (Indemnification).
(B)Additionally, Amazon Services may suspend the operation of the Program immediately upon notice to Affirm if any Amazon Party becomes subject to an investigation or other official inquiry by a Governmental Authority in regards to its participation in, or operation of, the Program.
16.6Effect of Termination.
(A)Termination by Amazon or Affirm. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement by Amazon Services or Affirm, the following will apply: (1) all amounts payable by one Party to another Party under this Agreement will be immediately due and payable in full without demand or other notice of any kind, such demand or other notice being expressly waived by each Party; and (2) the licenses granted under this Agreement will terminate, subject only to the performance of any services contemplated by the transition periods described in Sections 16.2, 17.1 and 17.2.

17.POST-TERMINATION.
17.1Settlement of Pending Transactions. For 180 days following termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Amazon Party and Affirm will continue to take any actions necessary to review and process Program Applications submitted prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement, including those Program Applications in respect of which Affirm has sent an Instant Approval to the applicant.
17.2Customer Service. Following termination or expiration of the Agreement, for a period of time as is reasonably necessary to address Approved Customer disputes and correct errors including as may be specified under Applicable Law and in any event not less than 180 days, each Amazon Party and Affirm will cooperate to continue to address Approved Customer disputes, correct errors, provide credits and otherwise service Program Credit originated prior to the termination or expiration of the Agreement.
18.MISCELLANEOUS.
18.1Taxes. Each Party will be responsible, as required under applicable law, for identifying and paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that Party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments under this Agreement. For any payments made under this Agreement, the payee may charge and the payor will pay applicable national, state or local sales or use taxes or value added taxes that the payee is legally obligated to charge (“Taxes”), provided that such Taxes are stated on the original invoice that the payee provides to the payor and the payee’s invoices state such Taxes separately and meet the requirements for a valid tax invoice. Either of any Amazon Party and Affirm may provide the other Party with an exemption certificate or equivalent information acceptable to the relevant taxing authority, in which case, such other Party will not charge and or collect the Taxes covered by such certificate. Either Party may deduct or withhold any taxes that such Party may be legally obligated to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable to the other Party under this Agreement, and payment to the other Party as reduced by such deductions or withholdings will constitute full payment and settlement of amounts payable to the other Party under this Agreement. Throughout the term of this Agreement, each Party will provide
53

the other Party with any forms, documents, or certifications as may be required for such other Party to satisfy any information reporting or withholding tax obligations with respect to any payments under this agreement.

Except as provided in this Section 18.3 or Section 6.6, no Party may assign its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other person without the prior written consent of Affirm (in the case of any Amazon Party) or Amazon Services (in the case of Affirm). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit or restrict Affirm’s ability to assign Installment Credit Agreements to a third-party buyer or Affirm’s ability to take assignment of an Installment Credit Agreement from a licensed financial institution.
(A)Any Amazon Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate with the necessary resources to perform such Amazon Party’s obligations under the Agreement without having to obtain the prior written consent of Affirm; provided, that such Amazon Party remains liable for that Affiliate’s failure to perform any of the assigned obligations.
(B)A Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement to a third party upon consummation of a Change of Control transaction with respect to that Party or any ultimate direct or indirect parent corporation or holding company of that Party, in each case, without having to obtain the prior written consent of the other Party.
(C)The terms of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties’ respective successors and assigns permitted under this Section 18.3. Except as provided in this Section 18.3, any purported assignment of this Agreement or a Party’s rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Affirm (in the case of any Amazon Party) or Amazon Services (in the case of Affirm) to the Agreement will be void.

No waiver of a Party’s rights under the Agreement is effective unless evidenced by a writing signed by that Party.
