(a) Service Provider authorizes Program Administrator, on behalf of itself and Funding Participants (as applicable), to initiate credit entries for amounts that Program Administrator or Funding Participants may owe Service Provider or that may otherwise be due Service Provider under this Agreement.
In certain verticals, the Program Administrator may offer a Service Provider access to advance funding. All Service Providers requesting advance funding are required to go through an underwriting process. Advance funding fees and access will be set by the Program Administrator and are subject to review and change at any time..
Any approved draw period will remain open for a term of no more than 6 months from the initial draw date.. If the service is not complete and the signed Final Payment Authorization Certificate (PAC) has not been uploaded to the platform the draw period will be extended for up to an additional 6 months. An additional fee will be assessed monthly until the signed PAC has been uploaded to the platform. The Service Provider agrees that any payment(s) will be deducted from any remaining Service Provider final disbursements. If after 12 months from the initial draw the service still remains incomplete and the signed completion PAC has not been uploaded into the platform the Service Provider agrees to be responsible for all principal and interest payments the consumer would otherwise be obligated for under the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Service Provider agrees that the payment(s) will be deducted from any remaining Service Provider disbursements. If the reserve account is fully depleted and there are no remaining funds to be disbursed the Service Provider agrees to reimburse PowerPay via wire transfer. During the time of service, the Service Provider and/or Customer may be asked to perform quality audits.
Service Provider agrees to only request initial funding at the time of service with the borrower’s consent. Final disbursements may only be requested upon completion of the service as approved by the borrower and Program Administrator. If there is any delay in the commencement of service the Service Provider agrees to immediately return any portion of the advance payments the Program Administrator requests within 24 hours. Should the Service Provider request any advance funding prior to the start of service , the Service Provider will be in violation of the PowerPay® Program and the Program Administrator has the right to immediately terminate the Agreement. At any time, the Program Administrator has unconditional right and authority to revoke advance funding. If for any reason the Agreement is terminated or advance funding is revoked Service Provider agrees to return all advance payments within 24 hours according to a schedule and manner that is specified by the Program Administrator. Service Provider authorizes Program Administrator to initiate debit entries after a minimum of 3 business days’ notice for (i) any credit entries in error or (ii) the amount which Service Provider owes under this Agreement, which is more than the amount owed Service Provider. Such credit and debit entries will be to the bank account identified by the Service Provider. Service Provider and Program Administrator acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions described in this Section 12 must comply with applicable law and NACHA rules.
(b) The authorizations set forth in Section 12(a) will remain in effect until the date on which no Loans remain outstanding. Service Provider must notify Program Administrator within three Business Days of any change to the bank account for such ACH credits and ACH debits. Program Administrator agrees to comply with written notifications from Service Provider that alter Service Provider’s bank account information (i.e., name and address of the bank or financial institution, transit/routing number or account number), provided that Program Administrator receives such notification in a sufficient time and manner to give Program Administrator and the bank or financial institution reasonable opportunity to act on it.

13. Records.
(a) All data transmitted shall be in a medium, form and format designated by the Program Administrator under the PowerPay® Program. Any errors in such data or in its transmission by Service Provider shall be the responsibility of Service Provider, and any errors in such data or in its transmission by Program Administrator shall be the responsibility of Program Administrator.

Within 10 days, or such earlier time as may be required by Program Administrator, of receipt of Program Administrator’s request, Service Provider shall provide to Program Administrator the credit application, Transaction Request, Invoice or other transaction records, including evidence of an applicant’s or Borrower’s express consent to a credit application or transaction, and any other documentary evidence available to Service Provider and reasonably requested by Program Administrator (i) to meet its obligations under applicable law or otherwise to respond to questions, complaints, lawsuits, counterclaims or claims concerning Loans or requests from Borrowers or regulatory authorities, (ii) to provide any information in connection with Program Administrator’s pursuit, at the direction and under the control of Funding Participants, of bad debt tax refunds, deductions, credits, or audit offsets (including providing copies of Service Provider’s state sales and use tax returns), (iii) to ensure Service Provider’s compliance with this Agreement, or (iv) to enforce any rights a Funding Participant or Program Administrator may have against Service Provider or a Borrower, including litigation by or against Program Administrator or such Funding Participant, collection efforts and bankruptcy proceedings.
(c) Service Provider agrees to permit Program Administrator, at the direction and under the control of Funding Participants, to examine, upon reasonable notice, Service Provider’s books and records concerning Service Provider’s participation in the PowerPay® Program or any credit application or transaction giving rise to any Transaction Request or Loan and to provide Program Administrator, at the direction and under the control of Funding Participants, with such further information as may reasonably be required concerning Service Provider’s participation in the PowerPay® Program or any credit application or transaction. Service Provider authorizes Program Administrator, at the direction and under the control of Funding Participants with respect to Service Provider and, to the extent permitted by law, to obtain one credit report individually on an annual basis with respect to all principals, partners or owners of Service Provider, for the purpose of qualifying Service Provider’s business for participation in the PowerPay® Program and for evaluating Service Provider’s business for continued participation in the PowerPay® Program.

(e) Service Provider shall promptly notify Program Administrator of any unauthorized access to Borrower Information or any breach in security measures or systems for the protection of Borrower Information and take appropriate action to prevent further unauthorized access or cure such breach.

This Agreement shall be effective on the date of Program Administrator’s notice of Service Provider’s approval to participate in the PowerPay® Program and shall remain effective until either party gives the other party written notice of its decision to terminate this Agreement.
(a) In addition to the right of termination under this Section 17, Program Administrator, upon written notice to Service Provider, may suspend Service Provider’s ability submit new credit applications pursuant to this Agreement. Such suspension will be for so long as Program Administrator specifies to resolve disputes between Service Provider and Program Administrator or to resolve consumer or Borrower complaints related to the PowerPay® Program.
(b) Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect as to all Transaction Requests accepted or approved by a Funding Participant under the PowerPay® Program prior to termination.

(c) In the event of breach of this Agreement by either party, the non-breaching party will be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies as shall be available to it at law or in equity. The non-breaching party may exercise remedies concurrently or separately, and the exercise of one remedy will not be deemed either an election of such remedy or a preclusion of the right to exercise any other remedy.

18. Reserve Account; Related Matters.
If (a) Program Administrator, at the direction and under the control of Funding Participants, determines that (i) Service Provider’s financial condition has deteriorated or is deemed, in the sole discretion of Program Administrator, to be unacceptable, (ii) Service Provider is in breach of this Agreement, (iii) the PowerPay® Program has experienced unusual levels of Borrower disputes or complaints from Borrowers or third parties, including regulatory authorities, relating to Service Provider, or (iv) the number of Transaction Requests presented to the PowerPay® Program by Service Provider is substantially different from historical trends, (b) Program Administrator becomes aware of some other, event or circumstance related to Service Provider that causes it to believe that a reserve fund is reasonably necessary or advisable, or (c) a notice of termination has been provided by either party to the other in connection with this Agreement, then, and in each such case, (v) Service Provider will pay Program Administrator, on behalf of Funding Participants, upon demand, or (vi) Program Administrator may, on behalf of Funding Participants, withhold from amounts owed Service Provider in respect of any Transaction Request, or (vii) Program Administrator may, on behalf of Funding Participants debit Service Provider’s bank account, an amount Program Administrator deems necessary to fund a reserve (“Reserve Account”). Program Administrator may charge to the Reserve Account any amount Service Provider owes Program Administrator or Funding Participants or that is otherwise due from Service Provider under this Agreement. Service Provider’s obligations to Program Administrator and Funding Participants shall not be limited by the amount held in the Reserve Account. The Reserve Account does not excuse Service Provider from paying any amount that Service Provider would otherwise owe under this Agreement. The Service Provider shall not be entitled to any interest on amounts held in the Reserve Account. The Program Administrator will return to the Service Provider any amount remaining in the Reserve Account when the Program Administrator determines a Reserve Account is no longer necessary; provided, however, no refund shall be made later than one year from the termination date of this Agreement. In addition, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the first sentence of this Section 19, Program Administrator may, on behalf of itself and Funding Participants, impose such limitations on Service Provider’s participation in the PowerPay® Program, or take such other action, as Program Administrator deems appropriate.

For purposes of this Section 20(a), a transfer of a majority interest in Service Provider shall be deemed an assignment. Program Administrator and Funding Participants may assign this Agreement and any of the rights or obligations hereunder at any time. In the event of such assignment, the assignee thereof shall have the same rights and remedies as any assignor under this Agreement, provided that such assignor shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder arising prior to such assignment unless such assignment is part of an assignment of all or substantially all of its assets and the assignee assumes its obligations hereunder. Otherwise, this Agreement is binding upon the parties and their successors and assigns.
(b) Service Provider acknowledges that the Program Administrator will enter into agreements with Funding Participants to provide financing under the PowerPay® Program and that such persons will originate and own the Loans contemplated hereby. Each Funding Participant shall be a third party beneficiary of the obligations of Service Provider hereunder and shall have the benefit of such obligations and the right to enforce (but not to the exclusion of Program Administrator for its own account) such obligations with respect to any Loan(s) with respect to which it is the Relevant Funding Participant.

During the term of this Agreement and thereafter for so long as Service Provider has any obligations with respect to the PowerPay® Program, Service Provider shall maintain at its expense insurance in such amount and against such risks as is customary for businesses of a comparable size in the industry in which Service Provider operates. Insurance coverage shall be issued by a carrier rated “A VIII” or higher by A.M. Best or that otherwise is reasonably acceptable to the Program Administrator, acting on behalf of, and at the direction and under the control of, Funding Participants, whose acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld. If requested by Program Administrator or Funding Participants, Program Administrator and Funding Participants shall be named as additional insureds under each policy. If requested by Program Administrator acting on behalf of Funding Participants, Service Provider shall provide Program Administrator with a certificate of insurance evidencing such insurance coverage and renewals thereof. Service Provider shall notify Program Administrator if any required insurance policy is canceled, not renewed or modified in any material respect within 15 days of any such cancellation, non-renewal or modification.

This Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived or supplemented except as provided herein. All exhibits, schedules and addendums hereto and any documents or instruments delivered pursuant to any provision hereof are expressly made a part of this Agreement as fully as though completely set forth herein.

23. Service Provider Obligations Unaffected.
Service Provider’s obligations under this Agreement are not affected by any settlement, extension, forbearance or variation in terms that Program Administrator, at the direction and under the control of Funding Participants, may grant in connection with any Loan or by the release of the obligations of any Borrower by a court or by operation of law.

24. Indemnification; Related Matters.
(a) Service Provider shall indemnify, defend (at Service Provider’s sole expense and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Program Administrator acting on behalf of, and at the direction and under the control of, Funding Participants), and hold harmless Program Administrator and any Funding Participant that funds or owns a Loan (or the economic rights thereto) to a customer of Service Provider (and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, managers, employees, representatives and agents) (each a “PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, investigations, litigation, proceedings, liabilities, damages, administrative charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any kind whatsoever (collectively a “Loss”) directly or indirectly arising out of or related to Service Provider’s breach of any obligation owed to Program Administrator or any third party, including:
(i) breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Service Provider contained in this Agreement, including the Service Provider Program Agreement Compliance Addendum attached hereto;
(ii) failure of Service Provider to comply with any applicable federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or ordinance;
(iii) any Loss sustained by or threatened against any PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person attributable in whole or in part to negligence, fraud, error, omission or proven misconduct of Service Provider, its employees, subcontractors, representatives or agents;
(iv) any Loss sustained by or threatened against any PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person by reason of, or attributable in whole or in part to, Service Provider’s failure to perform any of its obligations, or discharge any of its responsibilities, to any person;
(v) any defect in any Offerings sold or provided by Service Provider or any proven breach of any express or implied warranty in connection with such Offerings; and
(vi) any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against Service Provider; provided that Service Provider shall have no obligations or liability under this Section 45(a) to the extent a Loss results solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person. Service Provider further agrees to reimburse each PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person upon demand for all legal and other expenses (including expenses related to investigation, settlement, compromise or satisfaction) incurred by any such PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person in connection with any of the foregoing.
(b) Service Provider agrees that if it breaches any representation or warranty herein or if a Borrower asserts any claim or defense (regardless of the validity thereof) arising out of any transaction evidenced by any credit application, Loan Agreement or Transaction Request or cancels any transaction evidenced by any credit application, Loan Agreement or Transaction Request, Service Provider will refund on demand the amount of any Loan affected, plus any finance or other charges related to such Loan. Service Provider also agrees to indemnify and hold the PowerPay® Program Indemnified Persons harmless for any and all breaches of warranties, damages and costs, including attorneys’ fees, which any PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person may sustain as a result of any such event. Program Administrator, on its own behalf or on behalf of Funding Participants (as applicable), may, at its option, deduct any amount Service Provider owes Program Administrator or Funding Participants pursuant to this Section 24(b) or any other provision of this Agreement from any amount Program Administrator or Funding Participants may owe Service Provider. Where Service Provider has reimbursed, indemnified or held PowerPay® Program Indemnified Persons harmless, or where Program Administrator, on its own behalf or on behalf of Funding Participants (as applicable), has deducted such amounts from any amount Program Administrator or a Funding Participant owes Service Provider, Service Provider shall have the rights specified in Section 12(b)(v), subject to the limitations contained therein.
(c) Program Administrator shall indemnify, defend (at Program Administrator’s sole expense and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Service Provider) and hold harmless Service Provider (and Service Provider’s officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, managers, employees and agents) (each a “Service Provider Indemnified Person”) from and against any Loss directly or indirectly arising out of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Program Administrator, and (ii) its failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, regulation or ordinance; provided that Program Administrator shall have no obligations or liability under this Section 24(c) to the extent a Loss results solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Service Provider Indemnified Person.
(d) In the event that a PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person or a Service Provider Indemnified Person shall receive any claim or demand or be subject to any suit or proceeding in connection with which a claim may be made against such person under this Section 25, the indemnified party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the settlement or defense thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice in a timely manner shall not impact the availability of indemnification except to the extent that it materially and adversely impacts the defense of any such claim or demand. In any case, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall cooperate (at no cost to the indemnified party) in the settlement or defense of any such claim, demand, suit or proceeding.
(e) In the event and for so long as any PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction involving Service Provider or any customer of Service Provider, Service Provider will cooperate with such PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person and its counsel with respect thereto, make available any personnel under its control, and provide such testimony and access to its books and records, including allowing copies to be made by such PowerPay® Program Indemnified Person or its representatives, as shall be reasonably necessary in connection therewith, all at the sole cost and expense of Service Provider.

25. Non Waiver and Extensions.
The parties shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies hereunder. Each party agrees that the other party’s failure to enforce any of its rights under this Agreement shall not affect any other right or the same right in any other instance.

Service Provider Program Agreement Compliance Addendum

PowerPay® Program Fair Lending Commitment
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) applies to all persons who in the ordinary course of business regularly participate in the decision whether to extend credit to an applicant. The Funding Participants expect Program Administrator and Service Provider to offer the PowerPay® Program in a manner that complies with the ECOA and its enacting regulations. The ECOA prohibits discrimination in the granting of credit and further states that the applicants for credit shall not be discriminated against because of the person’s race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age (provided that the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract), the fact that all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program, or the fact that the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the federal Consumer Credit Protection Act. State law may also apply to credit products and expand the definition of protected classes to include, among other things, a person’s sexual orientation. In addition, the ECOA contains rules as to creditor requirements for co-makers or co-applicants on an extension of credit. To help ensure compliance with the ECOA, set forth below are certain requirements and procedures with which Service Provider must comply:

● The Service Provider must obtain a completed Program Administrator-approved credit application on each applicant. Each applicant must verify its accuracy and authorize Program Administrator and Funding Participants to investigate the applicant’s credit background.
● The Service Provider must advise each applicant that the credit application will be sent to the Program Administrator and the Funding Participants.
