NOTICE OF POTENTIAL ASSUMPTION AND
CURE AMOUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH CONTRACTS AND LEASES
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Order2 entered
by the Bankruptcy Court and Section 8 of the Plan, Kabbage, Inc. d/b/a KServicing and its
affiliated debtors, as debtors and debtors in possession in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases
(collectively, the “Debtors”), hereby provide notice (this “Assumption Notice”) that one or more
of the Debtors is party to the executory contract(s) or unexpired lease(s) (each, a “Contract” or
“Lease,” as applicable, and, collectively, the “Contracts and Leases”) to which you are a
counterparty and that are (i) listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Contract Schedule”) and
(ii) included on the Assumption Schedule that was filed as part of the Plan Supplement [Docket
No. 561]. The Debtors have conducted a review of their books and records and have determined
that the cure amount for unpaid monetary obligations under such Contract(s) or Lease(s) is as set
forth on the Contract Schedule under the column labeled “Proposed Cure Amount” (the “Cure
Amount”).
YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS ASSUMPTION NOTICE BECAUSE YOU OR ONE
OF YOUR AFFILIATES IS A COUNTERPARTY (A “CONTRACT PARTY”) TO ONE
OR MORE CONTRACTS OR LEASES, WITH ONE OR MORE OF THE DEBTORS,
WHICH MAY BE ASSUMED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN.3

Kabbage, Inc. d/b/a KServicing is not affiliated with American Express. The Debtors’ mailing and service address
is 925B Peachtree Street NE, Suite 383, Atlanta, GA 30309.
2 “Disclosure Statement Order” refers to the Order (I) Approving the Disclosure Statement of the Debtors, (II)
Establishing Solicitation, Voting, and Related Procedures, (III) Scheduling Confirmation Hearing, (IV) Establishing
Notice and Objection Procedures for Confirmation of Plan, (V) Approving Special Electronic Noticing Procedures,
(VI) Approving Debtors’ Proposed Cure Procedures for Unexpired Leases and Executory Contracts, and (VII)
Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 470]. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the

RLF1 28622451v.1
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT the Debtors reserve all their rights,
claims, and causes of action with respect to the Contracts and Leases and any other
agreements that the Debtors propose to assume, including the right to amend, revise, or
supplement the Assumption Schedule and the Contract Schedule for any reason whatsoever,
including based on objections received to the Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation
of Kabbage, Inc. (d/b/a KServicing) and its Affiliated Debtors [Docket No. 466] (together with
all schedules and exhibits thereto, and as may be modified, amended, or supplemented from
time to time, the “Plan”) or in the event that the Debtors elect to pursue the PPP Transfer
scenario or the Post-Effective Date Servicing scenario.4
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT in accordance with Section 8.1(a) of the
Plan, each Contract and Lease to which any of the Debtors are parties shall be deemed rejected,
unless such Contract or Lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors pursuant to
an order of the Bankruptcy Court; (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms
or by agreement of the parties thereto; (iii) is the subject of a motion to assume filed by the Debtors
on or before the Confirmation Date; (iv) is identified in Sections 8.4 and 8.6 of the Plan; or (v) is
identified for assumption on the Assumption Schedule. Thus, if your Contract or Lease does not
appear on the Assumption Schedule (as may be amended or supplemented) and the Contract
Schedule (as may be amended or supplemented) and is not otherwise subject to the exceptions set
forth in this paragraph or the Plan, such Contract or Lease will be deemed rejected as of the
Effective Date.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that if the Contract Schedule does not list a Cure
Amount for a particular Contract or Lease, the Debtors believe there is no cure amount outstanding
for that Contract or Lease as of the date of this Assumption Notice.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that all insurance policies issued or providing
coverage to the Debtors shall (subject to the applicable insurer’s right to object to such a
designation) be assumed in their entirety by the Debtors, regardless of whether such insurance
policy is identified on the Assumption Schedule or the Contract Schedule. To the extent an
insurance policy is not listed on the Contract Schedule, such insurance policy shall have a Cure
Amount of $0.00.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that all intellectual property contracts, licenses,
royalties, or other similar agreements (each, an “IP Agreement”) to which the Debtors have any
rights or obligations in effect as of the date of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed assumed
by the Debtors, regardless of whether such agreements are identified on the Assumption
Schedule or the Contract Schedule. To the extent an IP Agreement is not listed on the Contract
Schedule, such agreement shall have a Cure Amount of $0.00. The Debtors reserve the right to
separately seek to reject any IP Agreement.
4 For the avoidance of doubt, the Contract Schedule contains Contracts and Leases that may be assumed for use by
the Wind Down Estates in both the PPP Transfer scenario and the Post-Effective Date Servicing scenario. The
Debtors reserve the right to file an amended or supplemental Assumption Schedule and/or an amended or
supplemental Contract Schedule to add or remove contracts or leases in the event that the Debtors elect to pursue
either scenario.

RLF1 28622451v.1
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that, pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Plan, any
obligations of the Debtors pursuant to a contract, instrument, agreement, certificate of
incorporation, by-law, comparable organizational document or any other document or applicable
law, to indemnify, reimburse, or limit the liability of any director, officer, or employee of the
Debtors, pursuant to the foregoing in respect of any claims, demands, suits, causes of action, or
proceedings against such director, officer, or employee based upon any act or omission related to
such director or officer’s service with, for, or on behalf of the Debtors prior to the Effective Date
with respect to all present and future actions, suits, and proceedings relating to the Debtors shall
survive Confirmation of the Plan and except as set forth therein, remain unaffected thereby, and
shall not be discharged, irrespective of whether such defense, indemnification, reimbursement, or
limitation of liability accrued or is owed in connection with an occurrence before or after the
Commencement Date; provided, however, that all monetary obligations under Section 8.5 of the
Plan shall be (a) limited solely to available insurance coverage, (b) to the extent such Claims are
not covered by any applicable insurance, including deductibles, shall be treated as Allowed
General Unsecured Claims, and (c) neither the Debtors, Wind Down Estates, Wind Down Officer,
the GUC Pool, nor any of their assets shall be liable for any such obligations. The foregoing shall
not apply to any Former Officers and Directors and any obligations of the Debtors pursuant to a
contract, instrument, agreement, certificate of incorporation, by-law, comparable organizational
document or any other document or applicable law, including amendments entered into any time
prior to the Effective Date, to indemnify, reimburse, or limit the liability of any Former Officer
and Director shall be rejected as of the Effective Date, and the Wind Down Officer reserves all
legal and equitable rights and defenses in respect of any claims asserted by any Former Officer or
Director.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that if you agree with the proposed assumption
of your Contract or Lease and the related Cure Amount, you need not take any action.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that if you disagree with the proposed assumption
of your Contract or Lease or the related Cure Amount, you must file an objection (each, a
“Contract Objection”) with the Bankruptcy Court by no later than 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern
Time) on March 6, 2023 (the “Objection Deadline”). Any Contract Objection must: (a) be in
writing; (b) set forth the nature of the objector’s claims against or interests in the Debtors’ estates
and the basis for the objection and the specific grounds therefor; (c) comply with the Bankruptcy
Rules, Local Rules, and orders of this Court; and (d) be filed, contemporaneously with a proof of
service, with the Bankruptcy Court and served so that it is actually received by no later than the
Objection Deadline by the following parties:

RLF1 28622451v.1
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that any Contract Party that does not timely object
to this Assumption Notice shall be deemed to have assented to assumption of the applicable
Contract or Lease notwithstanding any provision thereof that purports to (i) prohibit, restrict, or
condition the transfer or assignment of such Contract or Lease; (ii) terminate or modify, or permit
the termination or modification of, a Contract or Lease as a result of any direct or indirect transfer
or assignment of the rights of any Debtor under such Contract or Lease or a change, if any, in the
ownership or control to the extent contemplated by the Plan; (iii) increase, accelerate, or otherwise
alter any obligations or liabilities of any Debtor, or any Wind Down Estate, under such Contract
or Lease; or (iv) create or impose a Lien upon any property or Asset of any Debtor, or Wind Down
Estates, as applicable. Each such provision shall be deemed to not apply to the assumption of such
Contract or Lease pursuant to the Plan and Contract Parties that fail to object to this Assumption
Notice, shall forever be barred and enjoined from objecting to the proposed assumption or to the
validity of such assumption (including with respect to any Cure Amounts or the provision of
adequate assurance of future performance), or taking actions prohibited by the foregoing or the
Bankruptcy Code on account of transactions contemplated by the Plan.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that any Contract Objection (other than a Contract
Objection only pertaining to a Cure Amount), shall be heard by the Bankruptcy Court prior to such
assumption being effective; provided, that the Debtors or Wind Down Estates, as applicable, may
settle any Contract Objection without any further notice to any party or any action, order, or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that, to the extent a Contract Objection relates
solely to the Cure Amount, the Debtors may assume the applicable Contract or Lease prior to the
resolution of the Contract Objection; provided, that the Debtors or the Wind Down Estates, as
applicable, reserve Cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount reasonably asserted as the
required cure payment by the non-Debtor party to the extent such Contract or Lease (or such
smaller amount as may be fixed or estimated by the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise agreed to by
such non-Debtor party and the applicable Debtor or the Wind Down Estates, as applicable). The
Debtors or the Wind Down Estates, as applicable, may settle any dispute regarding the Cure
Amount or the nature thereof without any further notice to any party or any action, order, or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that assumption of any Contract or Lease
pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims
against any Debtor or defaults by any Debtor, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including
defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other
bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Contract or Lease at any time before the
date that the Debtors assume or assume and assign such Contract or Lease. Any proofs of Claim
filed with respect to a Contract or Lease that has been assumed shall be deemed Disallowed and
expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any
other Entity, upon the assumption of such Contract or Lease.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that the Debtors may amend the Assumption
Schedule and the Contract Schedule up until five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the

notices shall be extended to the Business Day immediately prior to the adjourned date of the
Confirmation Hearing, with such extension applying in the case of any and all subsequent
