In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, Womply and Lender hereby agree as follows: WHEREAS, Lender desires to engage in the origination, marketing, underwriting, and funding of loans, as well as the servicing, management and liquidation of the subsequently resulting loan portfolios, funded and created under the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”); WHEREAS, Lender has the ability to independently evaluate, process, close, service, liquidate, and litigate commercial loans; WHEREAS, Lender and Womply desire to establish an independent contractor relationship whereby Womply provides referrals to Lender in connection with potential loan applicants seeking loans under the PPP; and WHEREAS, Lender and Womply specifically acknowledge that Lender retains ultimate responsibility for all loan decisions, including approvals, underwriting, closings, disbursements, due diligence, and loan servicing actions (including those relating to loan deferments, loan forgiveness, and loan guarantees), as required by the SBA, and Womply will exercise all best efforts to comply with all regulatory requirements of the PPP. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and undertakings contained herein, and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows: Referrals. 1. Womply may, from time to time, refer to Lender such PPP loan applicants as Womply shall, in its sole and 1.1. absolute discretion, deem appropriate (each such applicant a “Referral”). Womply acknowledges that sometimes the same borrower is submitted to Lender by multiple referring parties. Womply will be the party paid if they were the first to submit a complete package to Lender for the requested loan. WOMPLY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL 1.2. RESPONSIBILITY FOR, THE ACCURACY, LAWFULNESS, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION ACCOMPANYING A REFERRAL. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, WOMPLY DOES NOT ENDORSE ANY REFERRAL. LENDER ASSUMES SOLE RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT ANY REFERRAL IS OR SHOULD BE SENT TO THE SBA FOR REVIEW. Womply is not a lender or lender service provider as defined by the SBA. 1.3. Compensation. 2. The Referral Fees described in this Section 2 will be paid out of the fees actually received by Lender in 2.1. respect of Referred Loans (defined below) in Lender’s capacity as a “Lender” for such Referred Loans under SBA Regulations (as may be amended, the “Lender Fees”). As of the Amendment Effective Date, the current maximum Lender Fees under the SBA Regulations are: For loans of not more than $50,000, an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of the loan amount or $2,500; 5% of the loan amount for loans more than $50,000 but not more than $350,000; and 3% of the loan amount for loans more than $350,000 and less than or equal to $2,000,000. In consideration of Womply providing Lender with Referrals, Lender shall pay to Womply the referral fee set 2.2. forth in the table below, which is expressed as a percentage of the outstanding balance of the Referred Loan at the time of loan disbursement (such fees, the “Referral Fees”), for each loan originated by Lender under the PPP resulting from a Referral (such loan a “Referred Loan”). Referral Fee Amount 1.00% for each Referred Loan Within fifteen (15) days of Lender receiving the Lender Fee from the SBA, Lender will pay Womply all 2.3. associated Referral Fees for each applicable Referred Loan. Womply shall return any Referral Fees paid in the APPX. 5 Case 3:21-cv-02636-B Document 47-1 Filed 02/28/22 Page 5 of 11 PageID 736 Case 3:21-cv-02636-B Document 47-1 Filed 02/28/22 Page 5 of 11 PageID 736 event that the SBA or other governmental agency requires Lender to return the Lender Fee.

Each party shall be responsible for and pay any and all applicable taxes, customs, withholding taxes, 2.4. duties, assessments and other governmental impositions resulting from its own activities under this Agreement. Referral Fee payments not made in accordance with the foregoing schedule are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all costs of collection. Except as expressly set forth above, all Referral Fees paid are non-refundable, non-cancellable, and not subject to set-off. All payments described in this Section 2 must be made by wire transfer.

Upon Lender’s receipt of a Notice of Termination, Lender may request from Womply, and Womply shall 4.3. reasonably provide to Lender, a plan for transmitting to Lender electronic copies of loan files in its possession that relate to the Referred Loans, to the extent not otherwise in the possession of Lender.
