THIRD AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

This Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (this Amendment”) is entered into this 20th day of November, 2019, by and among (a) KATAPULT SPV-1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), (b) COGNICAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), (c) MIDTOWN MADISON MANAGEMENT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative, payment and collateral agent for each of the Lenders (in such capacities, “Agent”), (d) each of the Lenders party hereto.

RECITALS

A.Borrower, Holdings, Agent and Lenders have entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2019, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2019, as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2019 by and among Borrower, Holdings, Agent and Lenders (as heretofore and as may be hereafter further amended, modified, restated, amended or restated from time to time the “Loan Agreement”).

B.Agent, Borrower and each Lender have agreed to execute this Amendment for purposes of accomplishing the matters set forth herein, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

C.On or about November 16, 2019, Borrower delivered to Agent a Monthly Servicing Report indicating that there had been an Advance Rate Trigger Event with respect to the January 2019 Vintage Pool as of October 31, 2019 and advised the Agent that such Vintage Pool failed to comply with the Cumulative Cash Collection Percentage Ratio requirements under the Loan Agreement (the “Specified Advance Rate Trigger Event”).

D.As a result of the Specified Advance Rate Trigger Event, the Advance Rate was lowered from 85% to 80%, which in turn caused the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan to exceed the Borrowing Base, and the existence of such excess resulted in a violation of the first sentence of Section 2.6(c) and required a prepayment of the Loan to eliminate the excess pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2.6(c) (collectively, the “Borrowing Base Deficiency Event”).

E.The Agent has agreed on the terms and conditions set forth herein to (i) amend the definition of Advance Rate Trigger Event and the Default Trigger Event to exclude January 2019 Vintage Pool, with retroactive effect to October 31, 2019, thereby eliminating the occurrence of the Borrowing Base Deficiency Event, (ii) treat the Specified Advance Rate Trigger Event as having not occurred for purposes of the second sentence of the definition of Advance Rate (including the proviso thereto), and (iii) waive any Default or Event of Default that may have arisen from the Borrowing Base Deficiency Event.

Agreement
    Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment (the “Loan Agreement”).



2.Amendments to Loan Agreement.

““Advance Rate Trigger Event” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events with respect to the portfolio of Pledged Leases securing the Loan, in each case, to be tested as of the last day of each calendar month but without giving effect to any Vintage Pool created prior to the February 2019 Vintage Pool:”


1.1Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5, Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended, with retroactive effect to October 1, 2019, by amending and restating the introductory paragraph of the definition of “Default Trigger Event” in its entirety to read as follows:

There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto, and no prior or future discussions or representations regarding the subject matter hereof shall constitute a waiver of any past, present or future violation of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related document.
