WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into that certain Loan and Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2024, setting forth each Party’s rights and obligations related to the offering of a loan program (the “Existing Sale Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Parties now wish to amend and restate the Existing Sale Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the terms, conditions and mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Company agree as follows:
1.Definitions; Effectiveness.
(a)The capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall be defined as set forth in the Schedule 1 or, to the extent not set forth in Schedule 1, in the Program Agreement, and the rules of construction set forth in Schedule 1 shall apply to this Agreement.
(b)This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date, and as of the Effective Date shall supersede and replace the Existing Sale Agreement. This Agreement shall not operate as to render invalid or improper any action heretofore taken under the Existing Sale Agreement.
2.Purchase of Transferable Loans and Receivables; Payment to Bank; Reporting to Bank.
(a)Bank may sell, transfer, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to Company, without recourse on each Purchase Date, all or a portion of the Single Disbursement Transferable
Loans. Single Disbursement Transferable Loans shall be sold by Bank to Company (or its designee approved by Bank), without recourse, with servicing released, on the second Business Day after the day on which such Single Disbursement Transferable Loans were originated and funded by Bank. Company will be required to purchase all Single Disbursement Transferable Loans offered by Bank on each Purchase Date. Company shall pay to Bank the Purchase Price on each Purchase Date in accordance with this Section 2. Bank shall earn Interim Interest, calculated using the Interim Interest Rate, on each Single Disbursement Transferable Loan sold by Bank to Company (or its designee approved by Bank). Interim Interest shall accrue on a calendar day basis. For the avoidance of doubt, each Single Disbursement Transferable Loan sold by Bank shall be sold with servicing released on the applicable Purchase Date with respect to such Single Disbursement Transferable Loan.
(b)Bank may sell, transfer, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to Company, without recourse on each Purchase Date, all or a portion of the Receivables arising from Loan Disbursements on Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loans (“Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivables”). Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivables shall be sold by Bank to Company (or its designee approved by Bank), without recourse on the second Business Day after the day on which such Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivables were originated and funded by Bank. Company will be required to purchase all Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivables offered by Bank on each Purchase Date. Company shall pay to Bank the Purchase Price on each Purchase Date in accordance with this Section 2. Bank shall earn Interim Interest, calculated using the Interim Interest Rate, on each Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivable sold by Bank to Company (or its designee approved by Bank). Interim Interest shall accrue on a calendar day basis.
(c)With respect to each Single Disbursement Transferable Loan and Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivable that Bank sells hereunder, Bank sells, transfers, assigns, sets over, and otherwise conveys to Company the Single Disbursement Transferable Loan and Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivable and all rights related thereto, and all proceeds of the foregoing, without recourse in accordance with this Section 2 on the related Purchase Date.
(d)Bank shall deliver to Company a sale statement in a form to be agreed to by the Parties relating to all Transferable Loans and all Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivables that Bank is offering to sell to Company on the Purchase Date, to be delivered by secure e-mail or as otherwise mutually agreed no later than 8:00 AM Mountain Time on such Purchase Date. By no later than 10:00 AM Mountain Time on the applicable Purchase Date, Company shall pay Bank the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Bank. Upon the sale to Company of the Receivables arising from the final Loan Disbursement on a Multiple Disbursement Loan, Bank will simultaneously sell to Company, and Company shall purchase, the related Loan account (“Loan Account”), with servicing released, providing Company has purchased all of the previous Receivables arising from the relevant Multiple Disbursement Loan. The date on which the Loan Account is sold shall be the “Loan Account Purchase Date.”
(e)To the extent that such materials are in Bank’s possession, upon Company’s request, Bank agrees to cause to be delivered to Company, at Company’s cost, account files on all Single Disbursement Transferable Loans, Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan
-2-
Receivables, and Loan Accounts purchased by Company pursuant to this Agreement. Such account files will include the application for the Loan, the Loan Agreement, confirmation of delivery of the Loan Agreement to the Borrower, and such other materials as Company may reasonably require (all of which may be in electronic form); provided that Bank may retain copies of such information as the owner of the Loan or as necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.
(f)In connection with the expiration or termination of the Program Agreement (i) all Loans and all Receivables for Multiple Disbursement Loans then owned by Bank shall be deemed “Transferable Loans” hereunder on the last Business Day of the Term, and (ii) Company shall promptly purchase, or cause its designee to purchase, the Loans and Receivables then owned by Bank.
(g)If a Transferable Loan related to a Loan (or any portion thereof) is cancelled (whether by chargeback, return, refund or otherwise) after the sale of the Transferable Loan from Bank to Company, on the next available sale statement delivered by Bank, Bank shall refund the principal amount of such Transferable Loan or portion thereof following settlement of such chargeback, return, refund or other cancellation.
(h)If either Party transfers any amounts to the other Party in error (including if the Purchase Price for one or more Transferrable Loan and/or Multiple Disbursement Transferable Receivable is miscalculated), the Party benefitting from such error will pay to the other Party the amount in error within three (3) Business Days after receiving notice of an error from the other Party; provided, however, that any erroneous amounts paid by Company to Bank shall be subject to Bank’s rights in Section 13(g).
3.Ownership of Loans, Transferable Loans and Receivables.
(a)Bank shall not retain any ownership of the Loans after each Purchase Date. Each Party agrees to make entries on its books and records to clearly indicate Company’s ownership of the Loans as of each Purchase Date.
(b)On and after each Purchase Date and each Loan Account Purchase Date, as applicable, automatically upon Company’s payment of the Purchase Price on each such date, Company shall be the sole owner for all purposes (e.g., tax, accounting, and legal) of the Single Disbursement Transferable Loans, Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivables, and Loan Accounts purchased from Bank on such date and Company shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, and remedies applicable to said ownership interest, including the right to pledge, transfer, sell, assign, or exchange the Transferable Loans, Receivables, and Loan Accounts (including the right to receive any refund or the proceeds of a return or reversal). For all Single Disbursement Transferable Loans, Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivables, and Loan Accounts sold hereunder, Bank shall not retain any ownership interest in such underlying Loan, Receivable and/or Loan Account and Company shall become the sole owner of any such underlying Loan, Receivable and/or Loan Account sold or transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Bank agrees to make entries on its books and records to clearly indicate the sale of applicable Transferable Loans and/or Receivables to Company as of each Purchase Date. Company agrees to make entries on its books and records to clearly indicate the purchase of applicable Transferable Loans, Receivables, and/or Loan Accounts as of each Purchase Date and that ownership of the Transferable Loan, Receivable and/or Loan Account is not retained by Bank. Bank and Company each
-3-
intend the transfer of Transferable Loans and/or Receivables under this Agreement to be a true sale by Bank to Company of each Loan and/or Receivable and any payments and proceeds relating thereto and that is absolute and irrevocable. At any time and from time to time, Bank will promptly and duly execute and deliver or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as are reasonably requested by Company to confirm the sale of the Transferable Loans and/or Receivables, and/or for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement, including, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC or other applicable law in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the transfer of ownership of the Transferable Loans and/or Receivables. At any time and from time to time, each of Company and Bank will promptly and duly execute or deliver or will promptly cause to be executed or delivered such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as are reasonably requested by the other for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the Parties, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the conveyance of any Transferable Loan and/or Receivable is not a true sale of such Transferable Loan and/or Receivable from Bank to Company, then (i) this Agreement will also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC, and (ii) the sale of any Transferable Loan and/or Receivable will be deemed to be a grant by Bank to Company of a security interest in, and in any event Bank hereby grants to Company a security interest in, all of Bank’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to such Transferable Loan and/or Receivable, and all proceeds thereof, to secure the obligations of Bank pursuant to this Agreement. Upon review and approval by Bank, Company may file a UCC-1 financing statement reflecting Bank as debtor/seller to reflect Company’s purchase of the Transferable Loans and/or Receivables pursuant to this Agreement.
(c)Bank does not assume and shall not have any liability to Company for the repayment or servicing of any Single Disbursement Transferable Loans and/or Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loans after the related Purchase Date.
(d)The Program Agreement shall govern the servicing of the Loans for Bank, and of any interest held by Bank in the Loans and/or Receivables. The Program Agreement shall provide the exclusive mechanism for the payment of the amounts collected on Loans and/or Receivables, with the servicer thereunder designated by Bank to distribute amounts collected by the Company on Loans to the holder of any Transferable Loan and/or Receivables sold by Bank under this Agreement. Any subsequent owner of the Transferable Loans and/or Receivables shall separately compensate Company for servicing the Transferable Loans and/or Receivables, but all such servicing shall be subject to the terms of the Program Agreement.
(e)Company or any subsequent owner of the Single Disbursement Transferable Loans, Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivables and/or Multiple Disbursement Loans may (i) securitize the Transferable Loans, or any amounts owing thereunder, or (ii) issue an “asset-backed security” (as defined under 17 C.F.R. § 229.1101(c) or Section 3(a)(77) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) backed by the Single Disbursement Transferable Loans, Multiple Disbursement Transferable Loan Receivables and/or Multiple Disbursement Loans or any amounts owing thereunder, in each case, without the prior written consent of Bank; provided that all of the following conditions are met:
-4-
(1) Bank is not required to maintain any ongoing ownership interest in the Transferable Loans after the sale thereof to Company, Bank is not required to make any informational reports or filings with respect to the securitization or other financing transaction and Bank is not required to incur any costs or expenses in connection with such securitization or other financing transaction; provided Bank agrees to cooperate with Company following any reasonable request from Company or any subsequent owner of the Transferable Loans with respect to the activities under Section 3(d) if the Company (or some other creditworthy entity reasonably acceptable to Bank) has agreed in writing to promptly and fully reimburse Bank for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Bank.
(2) Bank is not deemed to be the “sponsor” or “depositor” under any rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to such transaction.
(3) Bank is not required to waive or agree to impair any of its rights or remedies under the Program Documents.
(4) Any identification of Bank by name and any description of the Program have been approved by Bank.
Company shall include a provision in any agreement by which Company sells or transfers Transferable Loans and/or Receivables requiring such transferee to comply with the terms of this Section 3(e) to the same extent as Company, and requiring such transferee to include such a provision in subsequent transfers of the Transferable Loans. Company shall ensure that final copies of all offering documents and investor presentations (or similar financing documents, as applicable) in connection with any such transaction are promptly provided to Bank.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without diminishing any rights of Company to Transferable Loans once they are sold to Company, Bank may sell, participate, pledge, or otherwise transfer any Loans (or interest in Loans) owned by Bank. Bank will not sell or transfer any Loans and/or Receivables except in accordance with this Agreement.
(g)Bank hereby consents to Company’s sharing information regarding Transferable Loans and/or Receivables acquired hereunder by Company (other than any personally identifiable information of Borrowers), and the Loans relating to such Transferable Loans and/or Receivables, with potential financing partners, provided that such potential financing partner has entered into a standard form of nondisclosure agreement, which form shall be approved by Bank.

7.Confidentiality.
(a)Each Party agrees that Confidential Information of the other Party (“Disclosing Party”) shall be used by such Party solely in the performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights pursuant to the Program Documents. Except as required by Applicable Laws or legal process, neither party, (each a “Restricted Party”) shall disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to third parties; provided, however, that the Restricted Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party (i) to the Restricted Party’s Affiliates, agents, representatives or subcontractors for the sole purpose of fulfilling the Restricted Party’s obligations under this Agreement (as long as the Restricted Party exercises reasonable efforts to prohibit any further disclosure by its Affiliates, agents, representatives or subcontractors), provided that in all events, the Restricted Party shall be responsible for any breach of the confidentiality obligations hereunder by any of its Affiliates, agents (other than Company as agent for Bank), representatives or subcontractors, (ii) to the Restricted Party’s auditors, accountants and other professional advisors, or to a Regulatory Authority, (iii) to any other third party as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties or (iv) with consent of the Disclosing Party. In addition, each Party agrees that the other Party may share Confidential Information with potential acquirers including the other party to a sale of assets (including Loans, or economic interests in the Loans and/or the Receivables), or to any lender or potential lender (including in connection with the issuance of debt securities) to such Party solely to the extent required to facilitate such transactions and due diligence associated with such transactions, provided that the potential party to such transaction is subject to written non-disclosure obligations and limitations on use only for the actual or prospective transaction.
(b)A Party’s Confidential Information shall not include information that:
(1)is generally available to the public;
(2)has become publicly known, without fault on the part of the Restricted Party who now seeks to disclose such information, subsequent to the Restricted Party acquiring the information;
-11-
(3)was otherwise known by, or available to, the Restricted Party prior to entering into this Agreement; or
(4)becomes available to the Restricted Party on a non-confidential basis from a Person, other than a Party to this Agreement, who is not known by the Restricted Party after reasonable inquiry to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Disclosing Party or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Restricted Party.
(c)Upon written request or upon the termination of this Agreement, each Party shall, within thirty (30) days, return to the other Party all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession that is in written form, including by way of example, but not limited to, reports, plans, and manuals; provided, however, that either Party may maintain in its possession all such Confidential Information of the other Party required to be maintained under Applicable Laws relating to the retention of records for the period of time required thereunder.
(d)In the event that a Restricted Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Restricted Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive the Restricted Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the Disclosing Party does not seek such a protective order or other remedy, or such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Disclosing Party grants a waiver hereunder, the Restricted Party may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which the Restricted Party is legally compelled to disclose and will exercise such efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party so furnished as the Restricted Party would exercise in assuring the confidentiality of any of its own Confidential Information.

16.Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement, including all issues concerning the validity of the Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation, performance, and enforcement of the rights and duties of the Parties, shall be governed by, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to the rules, policies, or principles thereof with respect to conflicts of laws that would require the application of any other law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree the laws of the State of Utah shall govern the entire relationship between and among the Parties, including without limitation, all issues or claims arising out of, relating to, in connection with, or incident to this Agreement, whether such claims are based in tort, contract, or arise under statute or in equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is made and performed in the State of Utah. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
-14-
WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY’S ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
17.Manner of Payments. Unless the manner of payment is expressly provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by wire or ACH transfer to the bank accounts designated by the respective Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall be excused from making any payment required of it under this Agreement as a result of a breach or alleged breach by the other Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement, provided that the making of any payment hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by the Party making the payment of any rights it may have under the Program Documents or by law.
18.Brokers. No Party has agreed to pay any fee or commission to any agent, broker, finder, or other person for or on account of services rendered as a broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that would give rise to any valid claim against any other Party for any brokerage commission or finder’s fee or like payment.
19.Entire Agreement. The Program Documents constitute the final agreement between the Parties. The Program Documents are the complete and exclusive expression of the Parties’ agreement on the matters contained therein. All prior and contemporaneous negotiations and agreements between the Parties on the matters contained in the Program Documents are expressly merged into and superseded by the Program Documents. The provisions of the Program Documents may not be explained, supplemented, or qualified through evidence of trade usage or a prior course of dealings. In entering into the Program Documents, neither Party has relied upon any statement, representation, warranty, or agreement of the other Party except for those expressly contained in the Program Documents. There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement other than the execution hereof by the Parties and those conditions expressly stated in this Agreement.
20.Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended orally, but only by a written instrument signed by all Parties that identifies itself as an amendment to this Agreement. No failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy or requiring the satisfaction of any condition under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the Parties, operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy, or condition. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be enforced. A waiver made in writing on one occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose that it is given and is not and is not to be construed as a waiver on any future occasion or against the other Party. To the extent any course of dealing, act, omission, failure, or delay in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement constitutes the election of an inconsistent right or remedy, that election does not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy or limit or prevent the subsequent enforcement of any Agreement provision. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement precludes the simultaneous or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Parties set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive of, but are cumulative to, any rights or remedies now or subsequently existing at law, in equity, or by statute.
21.Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining portions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering such provision or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. All terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed enforceable to the fullest
-15-
extent permissible under Applicable Laws, and, when necessary, the court is authorized to reform any and all terms or conditions to give them such effect.
22.Interpretation. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments thereto, and the same shall be construed neither for nor against any Party, but shall be given a reasonable interpretation in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and the intent of the Parties.
23.Jurisdiction; Venue. Each Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Salt Lake City, Utah (and appellate courts thereof) in connection with any dispute related to this Agreement or any matter contemplated hereby. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of such venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
24.Headings. Captions and headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be deemed part of this Agreement, and do not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
25.Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by the Parties in any number of counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile, as an attachment to an electronic mail message in .pdf, .jpeg, .TIFF or similar electronic format, or by electronic signature (including DocuSign, AdobeSign, and ContractWorks), which will be considered originals and legally binding for all purposes. Each Party agrees that any such electronically transmitted signature shall be valid and binding on such Party to the same extent as a manual signature.
26.Security.
(a)Establishment of Collateral Account. Company shall provide Bank with cash collateral to secure Company’s obligations under the Program Documents, including without limitation obligations related to funding, payments, legal fees, and indemnification, which Bank shall deposit in a deposit account (the “Collateral Account”) at Bank. The Collateral Account shall be a deposit account at Bank, segregated from any other deposit account of Company, that shall hold only the funds provided by Company to Bank as collateral. At all times, Company shall maintain funds in the Collateral Account equal to the Required Balance. In the event the actual balance in the Collateral Account is less than the Required Balance, Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, make a payment into the Collateral Account in an amount equal to the difference between the Required Balance and the actual balance in such account.
(b)Security Interest. To secure all Company’s obligations under the Program Documents (including without limitation the payment by Company of any amounts due under the Program Documents, and the performance of any of Company’s obligations under the Program Documents), Company hereby grants Bank a first priority and continuing security interest in and to the Collateral Account and the funds therein and the proceeds thereof, and agrees to take such steps as Bank may reasonably require to perfect or protect such security interest. Company represents that, as of the date of the Agreement, the Collateral Account is not subject to any claim, lien, security interest or encumbrance (other than the interest of Bank). Company shall not allow any other Person to have any
-16-
claim, lien, security interest, or encumbrance on the Collateral Account. Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under Applicable Laws with respect to the Collateral Account and the funds therein or proceeds thereof, and shall be entitled to exercise those rights and remedies in its discretion.
(c)Interest. The Collateral Account shall be a money market deposit account and shall bear interest in favor of Company at [***], computed based on the average daily balance of the Collateral Account during the prior month and credited to the Collateral Account, as property of Company, promptly following each month end.
(d)Withdrawals.
(1)Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Bank under this Agreement, Bank shall have the right to withdraw amounts from the Collateral Account to fulfill any obligations of Company under the Program Documents on which Company has defaulted, either during the Term or following termination of any of the Program Documents. To the extent that Bank has withdrawn amounts from the Collateral Account and such amounts are subsequently paid directly to Bank, Bank shall restore such amounts to the Collateral Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the amounts paid directly to Bank.
(2)Company shall not have any right to withdraw amounts from the Collateral Account. In the event the actual balance in the Collateral Account is more than the Required Balance, then at Company’s option, Company may provide to Bank a report setting forth the calculation for the Required Balance and the extent to which the actual amount held in the Collateral Account at such time exceeds the Required Balance. Within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such a report from Company, Bank shall transfer from the Collateral Account any amount held therein that exceeds the Required Balance as of the date of such report and pay such amount to an account designated by Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Bank shall be entitled to retain in the Collateral Account the amount of any reasonably expected liability that Company may have to Bank under the Program Documents.
(e)Termination of Collateral Account. Bank shall release any funds remaining in the Collateral Account to Company on latest to occur of: (i) [***] after termination of this Agreement, (ii) the last date on which Company is obligated to purchase Transferable Loans, Receivables and/or Loan Accounts pursuant to Section 2, or (iii) the fulfillment by Company of all of its obligations to Bank under the Program Documents, including its outstanding indemnification obligations with respect to all Claim Notices provided to Company during the Term or within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
