THIRD AMENDMENT TO ACCOUNT SERVICING AGREEMENT
This Third Amendment to Account Servicing Agreement (“Third Amendment”) is entered into as of August 2, 2024 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”) by and between Pathward, N.A. (f/k/a MetaBank, National Association) (“Bank”), and ML Plus LLC (“Servicer”), each referred to as a “Party” individually and “Parties” collectively. Any capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Third Amendment have the same meaning as defined in the Agreement.
WHEREAS, Bank and Servicer offer certain Programs to their customers pursuant to an Account Servicing Agreement between the Parties dated January 14, 2020, as amended by that certain Program Features Addendum dated March 25, 2020, as further amended by that certain Check Refund Services Addendum dated May 12, 2020, as further amended by that certain First Amendment to Account Servicing Agreement dated December 8, 2021, and as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Account Servicing Agreement dated September 6, 2022 (as so amended and as further amended or restated from time to time, the “Agreement”);
WHEREAS, both Parties desire to enter into this Third Amendment for purposes of enabling the offering of an overdraft protection service with the Programs;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises of the Parties and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows intending to be legally bound:
1. Section 3.13 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“SECTION 3.13 Service Level Agreement (SLA) Standards
(a) Servicer shall provide all services contemplated by this Agreement with promptness and diligence and in a professional and workmanlike manner (unless some other time frame or manner is set forth herein, in which case such other time frame or manner shall apply), and, as applicable, at least in accordance with the service levels set forth in Schedule B (each service level set forth in Schedule B, an “SLA”), which shall be effective only six (6) months after the Launch Date. Servicer and Bank shall periodically review and measure overall performance against the SLAs to ensure consistency with the goals and objectives of this Agreement, and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to update such SLAs as necessary.
(b) If any services are not provided in accordance with the SLAs other than the SLA for Timeliness of Remediating Findings (each instance, a “Failed SLA”), Servicer shall, for each Failed SLA: (i) promptly investigate and report to Bank on the causes of the problem; (ii) provide a root cause analysis of such failure as soon as practicable after such failure or Bank’s request; (iii) initiate remedial action to correct the problem and resume meeting the relevant SLA as soon as practicable but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days of the date of the occurrence of the Failed SLA; and (iv) advise Bank, as and to the extent requested by Bank, of the status of remedial efforts being undertaken with respect to such problem and, within ten (10) Business Days, provide Bank reasonable evidence that the causes of such problem have been corrected on a permanent basis (such steps, an “SLA Corrective Action Plan”).
(c) Fees for Failed SLAs. For each Failed SLA other than the SLA for Timeliness of Remediating Findings which is subject to Non-Compliance Fees as provided below, Bank may assess a fee in accordance with the chart below. A failure of the same SLA on one or more occasions shall result in fees imposed under the Single Offense category. A failure of two or more different SLA’s shall result in fees imposed under the Multiple Offense category. All Failed SLA fees in any month will be deducted from Net Revenues for that month.
Single Offense | Multiple Offense | |||
[*****] | [*****] | [*****] | ||
[*****] | [*****] | [*****] | ||
[*****] | [*****] | [*****] | ||
[*****] | [*****] | [*****] |
(d) Non-Compliance Fees for Past Due Findings. If Servicer fails to remediate a Finding by the end of the Cure Period, then Bank reserves the right to assess a fee in the amount of [*****] per month (the “Non-Compliance Fee”) for each Finding until Servicer fully remediates the applicable Finding, in the reasonable determination of Bank; provided, however, that if such Finding has not been fully remediated within one year of the identification of the Finding, then Bank reserves the right to increase the Non-Compliance Fee to [*****] per month until Servicer fully remediates the applicable Finding, in the reasonable determination of Bank. For purposes of clarity, Bank reserves the right to assess a separate Non-Compliance Fee for each Finding in each calendar month that the Finding remains unremediated, from the end of the Cure Period until Servicer fully remediates the applicable Finding, in the reasonable determination of Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to impose a Non-Compliance Fee until a Finding is remediated without affording Servicer a Cure Period in the event that a substantially similar Finding has occurred on two or more occasions in the prior twelve-month period.
(e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that Bank’s actual damages for Servicer’s delay in responding to a Finding and for Failed SLAs are difficult to calculate and the Non-Compliance Fee and fees for single and multiple Failed SLAs are a fair and reasonable estimate of Bank’s damages for such delay and Failed SLAs. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Non-Compliance Fees and fees for single and multiple Failed SLAs shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty for Servicer’s delay in responding to a Finding or for Failed SLAs, and shall be in addition to, and is not intended to limit, the obligations of the Servicer and other rights and remedies of Bank under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Bank’s right to terminate the Agreement or recover damages or other amounts in connection with the occurrence or remediation of a Finding.
(f) For any given month in which Servicer suffers any Failed SLA, such month shall be considered to be a “Failed Month.” If there are three (3) consecutive Failed Months or five (5) Failed Months during any twelve month period, Bank may, at its option, either terminate the specific subject service or terminate this Agreement in its entirety by giving written notice of termination to Servicer, in which case the date of termination shall be as set forth in such notice.
(g) Servicer shall implement measurement and monitoring tools and metrics as well as standard reporting procedures to measure and report Servicer’s performance of the services against the applicable SLAs, and shall provide Bank with monthly reports detailing service standards performance (each, an “SLA Report”). Servicer shall also provide Bank with information and access to the measurement and monitoring tools and procedures utilized by Servicer for purpose of audit verification.
(h) Servicer or a Processor may schedule planned outages of the Processing Services upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Bank, and during such planned outage, the affected Processing Services shall be exempt from being deemed a Failed SLA for purposes of this Schedule for the time period of the outage identified by Servicer in the prior written notification to Bank. Planned outages must only occur on Mondays between the hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM (Eastern Standard Time). Servicer and Processors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any adverse impact to the Program and the Accountholders as a result of any such planned outages.
(i) Servicer shall appoint an individual as Bank’s primary point of contact on day-to-day operational matters (the “Pathward Relationship Officer”). The Pathward Relationship Officer shall be capable of answering questions and resolving discrepancies that arise between the Parties relating to Processing Services and shall be well-versed in the functionality of Servicer’s system, the Processor System, and any applicable Subcontractor’s system.
(j) Servicer shall provide to Bank a support group (the “Support Group”) which will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to take incoming calls from Bank at a telephone number maintained by Servicer, respectively, for assistance requests and to address Processor System and Servicer system issues, including outages or emergency maintenance. The Support Group will attempt to resolve issues reported on each call, provided, however, that if the Support Group is unable to do so, the appropriate level of Servicer support staff will assist in the resolution. The response of the Support Group to any outage or emergency shall be governed by the SLAs set forth above.
2. Section 3.18 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“SECTION 3.18 Audit and Financial Information
(a) Servicer agrees that Bank or its authorized representatives and agents, and any Regulatory Authority or System (collectively the “Auditing Party”) shall have the right, at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, or at any other time required by Applicable Law or by a Regulatory Authority, to inspect, audit, and examine all of Servicer’s facilities, records, personnel, books, accounts, data, reports, papers and computer records relating to the activities contemplated by this Agreement including, but not limited to, financial records and reports, the Security Program, associated audit reports, summaries of test results or equivalent measures taken by Servicer or any Program Critical Subcontractor to ensure that the Security Programs are in accordance with Applicable Law and this Agreement and that Servicer is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Servicer shall make all such facilities, records, personnel, books, accounts, data, reports, papers, and computer records available to the Auditing Party for the purpose of conducting such inspections and audits, and the Auditing Party shall have the right to make copies and abstracts from Servicer’s books, accounts, data, reports, papers, and computer records directly pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. Servicer shall require each Program Critical Subcontractor to make its facilities, records, personnel, books, accounts, data, reports, papers, and computer records available to the Auditing Party as provided in this Section.
2
(b) Servicer agrees to reasonably cooperate with any examination, inquiry, audit, information request, site visit or the like, which may be required by any Regulatory Authority or System with audit examination or supervisory authority over Bank or Servicer, to the fullest extent requested by such Regulatory Authority, System or Bank. Servicer shall also provide to Bank any information which may be required by any Regulatory Authority or System in connection with their audit or review of Bank or any Program and shall reasonably cooperate with such Regulatory Authority or System in connection with any audit or review of Bank or any Program. Servicer shall also provide such other information as Bank, Regulatory Authorities or System may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the financial condition of Servicer and such other information as Bank may from time to time reasonably request with respect to third parties who have contracted with Servicer relating to or in connection with this Agreement.
(c) Servicer shall prepare a written response to Bank (a “Finding Response”) to all criticisms, recommendations, deficiencies, and violations of Applicable Law or Bank Policies identified in audits or other reviews conducted by Bank, any Regulatory Authority or System or self-identified by Servicer (each, a “Finding”). The Finding Response shall be delivered to Bank within twenty (20) Business Days of Servicer’s receipt of such Finding or discovery by Servicer, as applicable, unless directed otherwise by a Regulatory Authority. The Finding Response shall include the planned corrective action (or an explanation of why corrective action is not possible or necessary) to address the Finding, including remedial actions to be taken for current or past Accountholders negatively impacted by the Finding, and to prevent any recurrence of the Finding (“Corrective Action Plan”), with a timeframe, subject to Bank’s approval, for completion of the Corrective Action Plan (“Cure Period”). The Finding Response shall identify any Finding disputed by Servicer, supported by a detailed explanation of Servicer’s position. Servicer shall implement and complete the Corrective Action Plan in accordance with its terms by the end of the Cure Period.
3. The following Section 3.23 is hereby added to the Agreement:
“SECTION 3.23 Exclusivity
During the Term, Bank shall have 90% exclusivity with respect to issuance of Servicer’s or its Affiliates’ demand deposit accounts (“DDAs,” and each, a “DDA”) for Servicer or Affiliate customers or in support of financial products or services offered by Servicer or its Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any financial products or services that are offered by any Person that is not an Affiliate of Servicer). In the event Servicer or its Affiliates makes arrangements with one or more banks or other financial institutions other than Bank to establish and issue DDAs for Servicer or Affiliate customers or in support of financial products or services offered by Servicer or its Affiliates during the Term, unless otherwise agreed to by Bank, Servicer and its Affiliates shall limit the number of DDAs established and issued by banks or financial institutions other than Bank to no more than ten percent (10%) of the total aggregate number of DDAs established, issued and outstanding for Servicer or Affiliate customers or in support of financial products or services offered by Servicer or its Affiliate.
4. Section 9.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“SECTION 9.1 Term
The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until January 13, 2029 (the “Initial Term”) unless terminated earlier as provided below. After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically extend for additional periods of two (2) years each (each a “Renewal Term”, and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless either Party terminates this Agreement for any reason pursuant to Section 9.2 of this Agreement, or by providing written notice of non-renewal to the other at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the commencement of the next Renewal Term.”
5. Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the attached Schedule A.
6. Schedule B to the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the attached Schedule B.
7. Schedule C to the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the attached Schedule C.
8. The attached Schedule C-1 is hereby added to the Agreement.
9. This Third Amendment constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties concerning the subject matter of the Third Amendment. Except as specifically set forth herein, all terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Third Amendment may be executed in counterparts, including by facsimile signature, each of which counterpart will be deemed an original.

Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding, among other things, MoneyLion’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, prospects and growth strategies. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of MoneyLion’s management, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and are not predictions of actual performance. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of MoneyLion.
Factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, among other things: factors relating to the business, operations and financial performance of MoneyLion, including market conditions and global and economic factors beyond MoneyLion’s control; MoneyLion’s ability to acquire, engage and retain customers and clients and sell or develop additional functionality, products and services to them on the MoneyLion platform; MoneyLion’s reliance on third-party partners, service providers and vendors, including its ability to comply with applicable requirements of such third parties; demand for and consumer confidence in MoneyLion’s products and services, including as a result of any adverse publicity concerning MoneyLion; any inaccurate or fraudulent information provided to MoneyLion by customers or other third parties; MoneyLion’s ability to realize strategic objectives and avoid difficulties and risks of any acquisitions, strategic investments, entries into new businesses, joint ventures, divestitures and other transactions; MoneyLion’s success in attracting, retaining and motivating its senior management and other key personnel; MoneyLion’s ability to renew or replace its existing funding arrangements and raise financing in the future, to comply with restrictive covenants related to its long-term indebtedness and to manage the effects of changes in the cost of capital; MoneyLion’s ability to achieve or maintain profitability in the future; intense and increasing competition in the industries in which MoneyLion and its subsidiaries operate; risks related to the proper functioning of MoneyLion’s information technology systems and data storage, including as a result of cyberattacks, data security breaches or other similar incidents or disruptions suffered by MoneyLion or third parties upon which it relies; MoneyLion’s ability to protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights and its ability to obtain or maintain intellectual property, proprietary rights and technology licensed from third parties; MoneyLion’s ability to comply with extensive and evolving laws and regulations applicable to its business and the outcome of any legal or governmental proceedings that may be instituted against MoneyLion; MoneyLion’s ability to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting; MoneyLion’s ability to maintain the listing of MoneyLion’s Class A common stock and its publicly traded warrants to purchase MoneyLion Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange and any volatility in the market price of MoneyLion’s securities; and factors discussed in MoneyLion’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be additional risks that MoneyLion presently knows or that MoneyLion currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, forward-looking statements reflect MoneyLion’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. MoneyLion anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while MoneyLion may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, MoneyLion specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing MoneyLion’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). MoneyLion management historically used and uses Adjusted EBITDA for various purposes, including as measures of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. MoneyLion believes presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to MoneyLion’s results of operations. MoneyLion’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may be different from other companies’ methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and MoneyLion does not recommend the sole use of Adjusted EBITDA to assess its financial performance. MoneyLion management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in MoneyLion’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA in connection with MoneyLion’s GAAP results. You should review MoneyLion’s financial statements, which are included in MoneyLion’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate MoneyLion’s business.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is set forth below. To the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, which could be material based on historical adjustments. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
Definitions:
Adjusted EBITDA: A non-GAAP measure, defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense related to corporate debt, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, change in fair value of contingent consideration from mergers and acquisitions, goodwill impairment loss, stock-based compensation and certain other expenses that management does not consider in measuring performance.
Total Customers: Defined as the cumulative number of customers that have opened at least one account, including banking, membership subscription, secured personal loan, Instacash advance, managed investment account, cryptocurrency account and customers that are monetized through our marketplace and affiliate products. Total Customers also include customers that have submitted for, received or clicked on at least one marketplace credit offer.
Total Products: Defined as the total number of products that our Total Customers have opened, including banking, membership subscription, secured personal loan, Instacash advance, managed investment account, cryptocurrency account and monetized marketplace and affiliate products, as well as customers who signed up for our financial tracking services (with either credit tracking enabled or external linked accounts), whether or not the customer is still registered for the product. Total Products also include marketplace credit offers that our Total Customers have submitted for, received or clicked on through our marketplace. If a customer has funded multiple secured personal loans or Instacash advances or opened multiple products through our marketplace, it is only counted once for each product type.
Total Originations: Defined as the dollar volume of the secured personal loans originated and Instacash advances funded within the stated period. All originations were originated directly by MoneyLion.
Enterprise Partners: Composed of Product Partners and Channel Partners. Product Partners are the providers of the financial and non-financial products and services that we offer in our marketplaces, including financial institutions, financial service providers and other affiliate partners. Channel Partners are organizations that allow us to reach a wide base of consumers, including but not limited to news sites, content publishers, product comparison sites and financial institutions.
