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, [***], 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.





EXHIBIT C
2.5 (A) General. Affirm will, in conjunction with Bank, as applicable, upon receipt of Application Data from an applicant for [***] or Program Credit, as applicable, review and process the Program Application. 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 application for Program Credits 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. [***]





EXHIBIT D
(G). From time to time, Affirm may agree to reimburse additional incremental Marketing Funds to Amazon, such amounts and any conditions set forth to be agreed to by the Parties in writing (email sufficient).





EXHIBIT E
6.10 (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, (iii) Processed Merchant Losses, and (iv) the Buy Rate Amount (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 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. An Approved Customer’s initial, one-time partial payment of the applicable purchase price (i.e., down payments) that is collected by Affirm on behalf of Amazon (in connection with a transaction made on a Participating Site other a Processed Merchant Site) or a Processed Merchant (in connection with a transaction made on a Processed Merchant Site) under this Agreement (each a “Partial Payment”) will be considered the same as a payment made directly to Amazon (in connection with a transaction made on a Participating Site other a Processed Merchant Site) or the application Processed Merchant (in connection with a transaction made the applicable Processed Merchant Site). 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 Partial Payment on behalf of a Processed Merchant through the Amazon Pay Widget in connection with a transaction made on a Processed Merchant Site under this Agreement. 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.





EXHIBIT F
3.1 General. Amazon Services and Affirm will implement an online application procedure for [***] and Program Credit, as applicable (“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 Approved Customers to access information pertaining to their Program Credit on the Affirm Site in accordance with Section 4.2(A).
