Client and Marqeta may mutually agree to transition Pathward from its role as a backup Issuing Bank to an Issuing Bank for the Cash App Program. In furtherance of the foregoing, Client agrees that Marqeta may share mutually agreed upon Client information, including Client Confidential Information, with Pathward for the sole purpose of onboarding Pathward as a backup Issuing Bank and Issuing Bank (as applicable) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Cash App Program is transitioned from Client’s current Issuing Bank to Pathward, Marqeta will provide commercially reasonable support and cooperate in good faith to support the facilitation of such transition, including, but not limited to, the transfer and receipt of all data, documentation, and account functionality necessary to ensure a smooth transition from Client’s current Issuing Bank to Pathward and continuity of the Cash App Program.

2.Engagement Notice to Backup Issuing Bank. Upon a determination by Client and Marqeta to transition Pathward from a backup Issuing Bank to an Issuing Bank for the Cash App Program, Marqeta, with input from Client, shall provide written notice (the “Engagement Notice”) of the Parties’ intent to Pathward, which will also specify the Parties’ intended live launch date (the “Pathward Cash App Program Launch Date”) for Pathward’s transition to Issuing Bank for the Cash App Program (the actual launch date, “Live Launch Date”). Prior to Marqeta’s provision of the Engagement Notice to Pathward, Client agrees to:
a.complete all due diligence documentation reasonably required by Pathward to Pathward’s satisfaction.
b.provide all reasonably necessary assistance to Marqeta in providing reasonably required documentation required by Pathward regarding the Cash App Program, including but not limited to documentation relating to the functionalities and features of the Cash App Program.

3.Pre-Launch Requirements. Prior to the Pathward Cash App Program Launch Date, Client agrees to:
a.Provide all reasonably necessary assistance to Marqeta to ensure that all marketing and promotional materials for the Cash App Program are accurate with respect to Pathward as Issuing Bank and have


been revised to reflect any differences between the Cash App Program with the previous or existing Issuing Bank and the Cash App Program with Pathward as Issuing Bank.
b.Enter into a Program Oversight and Custodial Account Sweep Agreement (“Pathward Custodial Account Agreement”) for the establishment of a limited-purpose custodial account at Pathward (the “Cash App Custodial Account”) solely to hold a portion of Cash App Program wallet funds in order to enable the real-time loading of Card Accounts to complete Card purchase and ATM withdrawal transactions requested by Cardholders and to receive transfers of proceeds deriving from direct deposits and returns to the Card Account for crediting back to the applicable Cardholder’s wallet account. A Cash App Custodial Account, [***], has been established with Pathward in the name of Client, as custodian for the benefit of beneficiaries that are Cash App Program consumer wallet holders who have requested and been issued a Cardholder Account and Card by Pathward in connection with the Cash App Program.

4.Funding Requirements. To ensure Cash App Program wallet funds are available in the Cash App Custodial Account for loading to Cardholder Accounts, Client agrees that during the term of the Cash App Program, the Cash App Custodial Account shall be funded with [***] of anticipated spend during regular weekdays and with [***] of anticipated spend during a weekend. Holidays, including long weekends, will be funded to maintain corresponding appropriate levels. In the event Client is unable to comply with this obligation, the Parties will work together in good faith to remedy any such issue in a timely manner. At Marqeta’s reasonable request, the Parties shall discuss possible modifications to the requirements set forth herein due to unexpected or excessive growth in load volumes or shortfalls in the Cash App Custodial Account but only to the extent the increase is reasonable in relation to the shortfall risks.

5.Backup Issuing Fee. Beginning on July 1, 2025, Client agrees to pay Marqeta a monthly fee of [***] (the “Backup Issuing Fee”) until the earlier of (i) the Live Launch Date, at which time the Backup Issuing Fee will be replaced with the pricing set forth below in Section 6; or (ii) June 30, 2028, which, for clarity aligns with the Cash App Initial Term as set forth in the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Client’s obligation to pay the Backup Issuing Fee in accordance with this section will only apply so long as Marqeta’s agreement with Pathward remains in effect for the duration of this Agreement.

In the event that the Cash App Program does not generate sufficient Cash App Program Purchase Volume Commissions in any calendar month to surpass the Cash App Program Minimum Monthly Purchase Volume Commissions, Client agrees to pay to Marqeta a sum equal to the Cash App Program Minimum Monthly Purchase Volume Commissions less the actual Cash App Program Purchase Volume Commissions for that month (such sum, the “Cash App Program Purchase Volume Commissions Shortfall”). By way of example, if the Cash App Program Purchase Volume Commissions for a given month are [***], the Cash App Program Purchase Volume Commissions Shortfall for such month will be [***] (such amount representing the Cash App Program Minimum Monthly Purchase Volume Commissions of [***] minus the actual Cash App Program Purchase Volume Commissions for such month of [***]).

d.Additional Fees. Same-day wire transfer fees will be [***]. In addition, Client shall ensure inbound settlement funds for the Cash App Program arrive before outbound settlement.

e.Payment and Invoicing. All fees payable under this Agreement, including the Backup Issuing Fee, the Cash App Program Purchase Volume Commission, the Cash App Program Collateral Review Support Fee, and the Cash App Program Purchase Volume Commissions Shortfall Obligation will be payable by Client to Marqeta in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Agreement after receiving an invoice from Marqeta.

7.Commissions on Deposit.  

(a)    Marqeta will pay Client on a passthrough basis a monthly commission on beneficiary wallet funds deposited in the Cash App Custodial Account and funds deposited in the Cash App Program funding account or settlement accounts held at Pathward in connection with the Cash App Program (“Subject Accounts”). For clarity, Pathward’s current calculation of Deposit Commission is [***]. To further clarify, eligible funds to receive Commission on Deposit will only include [***]. Payment of the Deposit Commission by Marqeta to Client will be made monthly in arrears.

For example, if the applicable average Effective Federal Funds Rate for the month is 5.00%, and the Net Month Average Balance of Deposits held in the Subject Accounts is [***], then Servicer's Deposits Commissions would equal [***], divided by 365 & multiplied by 30, then multiplied by [***], for a total of [***].
(b)    If, at any time the net monthly average balance of deposits held in the Subject Accounts exceeds [***], Marqeta and Client shall have good faith discussions about increasing the Deposit Commission rate.

8.Annual Reviews. Once the Live Launch Date occurs, Client agrees to participate in annual reviews with Pathward and Marqeta to review Pathward’s requirements with respect to the Cash App Program.

9.Remedies for Excessive Chargebacks, Transaction Disputes, or Fraud. In the event chargebacks, transaction disputes, or fraud in connection with the Cash App Program present materially adverse risks to the Cash App Card Program, Client will, upon Marqeta’s reasonable request and as mutually agreed upon, (i) provide a root cause analysis of the issue as soon as commercially practicable after Marqeta’s request; (ii) develop a reasonable remediation plan to be approved by Marqeta (acting in good faith) and initiate reasonable remedial action to correct the issue as soon as commercially practicable; and (iii) advise Marqeta, as and to the extent requested by Marqeta, of the status of remedial efforts being undertaken with respect to such issue and provide Marqeta reasonable evidence that the causes of such issue have been corrected as soon as commercially practicable.

(a)    The last sentence of Subsection (D), [***] of Subsection (i), [***] of Section (C), [***] of Schedule D of the Agreement, will not apply to the Cash App Program with Pathward as Issuing Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, the following language shall be inapplicable to the Cash App Program with Pathward as Issuing Bank: "In the event that Marqeta utilizes [***] for Client’s Cash App Program, Marqeta will provide economic incentives to Client of similar value to those detailed in this Section for [***] for the other Issuing Bank transaction volumes.”

(b)    Given that the incentive structure for the Cash App Program with Pathward will differ from the existing incentive structure [***], the Parties agree that none of the transaction volume for the Cash App Program for Cards issued by Pathward as Issuing Bank will be included as [***] for purposes of Subsection (E), entitled [***] of Subsection (i), entitled [***] of Section (C), entitled [***] of Schedule D of the Agreement. [***].

This Amendment incorporates by reference the terms of the Agreement as if fully set forth in this Amendment, and the specific terms and conditions in this Amendment govern, control, and supersede the Agreement solely with respect to the subject matters covered in this Amendment.

13.Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by the Parties electronically and in counterparts.
