SECTION 2.SEVERANCE BENEFITS

2.1Generally. Subject to the terms of the Plan, each Eligible Employee shall be entitled to severance payments and/or benefits pursuant to applicable provisions of Section 2 of this Plan if the Eligible Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination and complies with the applicable requirements of the Plan.
2.2Notice. Any Qualifying Termination effected by the Company following the Effective Date shall require ten (10) business days’ prior written notice; provided, however, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, pay the Eligible Employee in lieu of all or part of such notice period.
2.3Severance Pay. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Company shall provide “CIC Severance Pay” to each Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination during the Change in Control Protection Period equal to the amount listed in such Eligible Employee’s applicable tier level in the Schedule of Change in Control Severance Benefits as attached to hereto as Schedule A (the “CIC Benefits Schedule”) and the Company shall provide “Non-CIC Severance Pay” to each Eligible Employee who incurs Qualifying Termination outside the Change in Control Protection Period equal to the amount listed in such Eligible Employee’s applicable tier level in the Schedule of Non-Change in Control Severance Benefits as attached to hereto as Schedule B (the “Non-CIC Benefits Schedule”). CIC Severance Pay or Non-CIC Severance Pay, as applicable, shall be paid in a lump sum on the first regular payroll date of the Company that occurs after the Release Effective Date (a defined below).
2.4Benefits Continuation. If the Eligible Employee is eligible for and timely elects to continue receiving group medical and/or dental insurance under the continuation coverage rules of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (“COBRA”), upon the Eligible Employee’s submission to the Company of evidence of the Eligible Employee’s and his or her dependent’s, if applicable, enrollment in COBRA, the Company will pay to the Eligible Employee, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, an amount equal, net of taxes, to the monthly employer contribution to the applicable health care benefits, as in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, for a number of months equal to the number of months in the Eligible Employee’s COBRA continuation coverage period as set forth in the applicable tier level in the CIC Benefits Schedule for each Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination during the Change in Control Protection Period and the Non-CIC Benefits Schedule for each Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination outside the Change in Control Protection Period, as applicable, so long as the Eligible Employee has not become actually covered by the medical plan of a subsequent employer during any such month. This period of continued benefits shall run concurrently with (and shall count against) the Company’s obligation to provide continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA.
2.5Non-Duplication of Benefits. The benefits provided under the Plan are intended to satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, and not to provide benefits duplicative of, any and all statutory, contractual and collective agreement obligations of the Company in respect of the form of benefits provided under the Plan that may arise out of a Qualifying Termination, and the Plan Administrator will so construe and implement the terms of the Plan. If the Company or any Affiliate is obligated by law or by contract to provide severance pay or change in control benefits to an Eligible Employee, then the Eligible Employee may be required to waive, upon the Company’s request, any amounts payable pursuant to such  legal or contractual obligation as a condition of receiving benefits under the Plan.
2.6Vesting Acceleration. In the event of a Qualifying Termination during the Change in Control Protection Period, the Eligible Employee shall receive accelerated vesting with respect to the percentage of shares as set forth in the Eligible Employee’s applicable tier 
4

level in the CIC Benefits Schedule (“Vesting Acceleration”) subject to each of such Eligible Employee’s then-outstanding and unvested equity awards which would otherwise become vested solely on the passage of time and such Eligible Employee’s continued service to the Company (which, for the avoidance of doubt will not include any such Company equity awards that would otherwise become vested in whole or in part based on the attainment of performance conditions or targets, which awards will be subject to the terms of their underlying award agreements).
2.7Impact of Section 4999 Excise Tax: Maximum After-Tax Benefit Following a Change of Control. Except to the extent that a more favorable treatment is provided to an Eligible Employee by the Company in writing, in the event that part or all of the consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to an Eligible Employee under this Plan or any other plan, arrangement or agreement applicable to such Eligible Employee, constitutes “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G(b) of the Code subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (collectively, the “Parachute Amount”), the amount of excess parachute payments which would otherwise be payable to such Eligible Employee or for such Eligible Employee’s benefit shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no amount of the Parachute Amount is subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 (the “Reduced Amount”); provided that such amounts shall not be so reduced if, without such reduction, such Eligible Employee would be entitled to receive and retain, on a net after-tax basis (including, without limitation, after any excise taxes payable under Section 4999), an amount of the Parachute Amount which is greater than the amount, on a net after-tax basis, that such Eligible Employee would be entitled to retain upon receipt of the Reduced Amount. All determinations with respect to the Parachute Amount shall be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm or other firm that is retained and paid by the Company for such purpose prior to the Change in Control, which firm shall not, without such Eligible Employee’s consent, be changed following the Change in Control. Such determinations shall be binding upon the Company and shall be made promptly following the Change in Control and as appropriate thereafter, in order to permit payment in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.
2.8Release. No Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination shall be eligible to receive any payments or other benefits under the Plan unless he or she first executes a release in favor of the Company in the form attached hereto as Annex A and the release becomes effective and irrevocable within sixty (60) days following the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date (such date the release becomes effective and irrevocable, the “Release Effective Date”); provided, however, that if the 60th day following the Termination Date falls in the calendar year following the year in which the Termination Date occurs, any payments or other benefits under the Plan shall be paid no earlier than January 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the Termination Date occurs.
2.9Section 409A. It is intended that payments and benefits under this Plan will not subject Eligible Employees to taxation under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”) and, accordingly, this Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be either exempt from or in compliance therewith. Specifically, any taxable benefits or payments provided under this Plan are intended to be separate and distinct payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception to Section 409A to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent they do not so qualify, are intended to qualify for the separation pay exceptions to Section 409A, to the maximum extent possible. To the extent that none of these exceptions (or any other available exception) applies, then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, if an Eligible Employee is a “specified employee,” as determined under the Company’s policy for identifying specified employees on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, then all amounts due under the Plan that constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, that are provided as a result of a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A, and that would otherwise be paid or provided during the first six months following the 
5

Termination Date, shall be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first business day that is more than six months after the Termination Date (or, if the Eligible Employee dies during such six-month period, within 90 days after the Eligible Employee’s death). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an Eligible Employee shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Plan which are subject to Section 409A until the Eligible Employee would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In no event may an Eligible Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Plan that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Plan shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment. The Eligible Employee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.

SECTION 3.PLAN ADMINISTRATION.

3.1The Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan and may interpret the Plan, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations under the Plan and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, subject to all of the provisions of the Plan.
3.2The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its duties hereunder to such person or persons from time to time as it may designate.
3.3The Plan Administrator is empowered, on behalf of the Plan, to engage accountants, legal counsel and such other personnel as it deems necessary or advisable to assist it in the performance of its duties under the Plan. The functions of any such persons engaged by the Plan Administrator shall be limited to the specified services and duties for which they are engaged, and such persons shall have no other duties, obligations or responsibilities under the Plan. Such persons shall exercise no discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting the management of the Plan. All reasonable expenses thereof shall be borne by the Company.

SECTION 4.PLAN MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION.

The Plan may be terminated or amended by the Plan Administrator at any time; provided, however, that the Plan may not be terminated or amended during the Change in Control Protection Period or in respect of a Qualifying Termination that occurred prior to the amendment or termination of the Plan. 

SECTION 5.GENERAL PROVISIONS.

5.1Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Eligible Employee. When a payment is due under this Plan to a severed employee who is unable to care for his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative.
5.2Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Eligible Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right to be retained in the service 
6

of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, and all Eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.
5.3If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.
5.4This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including each Eligible Employee, present and future, and any successor to the Company. If an Eligible Employee dies while any amount would still be payable to such Eligible Employee hereunder (following a Qualifying Termination), all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to the executor, personal representative or administrators of the severed employee’s estate.
5.5The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.
5.6The Plan shall not be required to be funded unless such funding is authorized by the Board. Regardless of whether the Plan is funded, no Eligible Employee shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of any Company which may be applied by the Company to the payment of benefits or other rights under this Plan.
5.7Any notice or other communication required or permitted pursuant to the terms hereof shall have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States Mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient at his, her or its last known address.
5.8To the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control, this Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice-of-law principles.
5.9All benefits hereunder shall be reduced by applicable withholding and shall be subject to applicable tax reporting, as determined by the Plan Administrator.
5.10The Plan, as a “severance pay arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(2)(B)(i) of ERISA, is intended to be excepted from the definitions of “employee pension benefit plan” and “pension plan” set forth under section 3(2) of ERISA, and is intended to meet the descriptive requirements of a plan constituting a “severance pay plan” within the meaning of regulations published by the Secretary of Labor at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations §2510.3-2(b).

SECTION 6.CLAIMS, INQUIRIES, APPEALS.

6.2Denial of Claims. In the event that any application for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator must notify the applicant, in writing, of the denial of the application, and of the applicant’s right to review the denial. The written notice of denial will be set forth in a manner designed to be understood by the employee, and will include specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the Plan provision upon which the denial is based, a description of any information or material that the Plan Administrator needs to complete the review and an explanation of the Plan’s review procedure.
This written notice will be given to the employee within ninety (90) days after the Plan Administrator receives the application, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, in which case, the Plan Administrator has up to an additional ninety (90) days for processing the application. If an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant before the end of the initial ninety (90)-day period.
This notice of extension will describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Plan Administrator is to render his or her decision on the application. If written notice of denial of the application for benefits is not furnished within the specified time, the application shall be deemed to be denied. The applicant will then be permitted to appeal the denial in accordance with the Review Procedure described below.
6.3Request for a Review. Any person (or that person’s authorized representative) for whom an application for benefits is denied (or deemed denied), in whole or in part, may appeal the denial by submitting a request for a review to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the application is denied (or deemed denied). The Plan Administrator will give the applicant (or his or her representative) an opportunity to review pertinent documents in preparing a request for a review and submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim. A request for a review shall be in writing and shall be addressed to:
Affirm Holdings, Inc.
Attention: 
650 California St.
San Francisco, CA 94108
E-mail: 
A request for review must set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters that the applicant feels are pertinent. The Plan Administrator may require the applicant to submit additional facts, documents or other material as he or she may find necessary or appropriate in making his or her review.
6.4Decision on Review. The Plan Administrator will act on each request for review within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request, unless special circumstances require an extension of time (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days), for processing the request for a review. If an extension for review is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant within the initial sixty (60)-day period. If written notice of denial of the application for benefits is not furnished within the specified time, the application will be deemed to be denied. The Plan Administrator will give prompt, written notice of his or her decision to the applicant. In the event that the Plan Administrator confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, the notice will outline, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific Plan provisions upon which the decision is based. 
6.5Rules and Procedures. The Plan Administrator may establish rules and procedures, consistent with the Plan and with ERISA, as necessary and appropriate in carrying out his or her responsibilities in reviewing benefit claims. The Plan Administrator may require an 
8

applicant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial (or deemed denial) of benefits to do so at the applicant’s own expense.
6.6Exhaustion of Remedies. No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought until the claimant (a) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with the procedures described in Section 6.1, (b) has been notified by the Plan Administrator that the application is denied (or the application is deemed denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to act on it within the established time period), (c) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with the appeal procedure described in Section 6.3 and (d) has been notified in writing that the Plan Administrator has denied the appeal (or the appeal is deemed to be denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to take any action on the claim within the time prescribed by Section 6.4).

SECTION 7.ERISA RIGHTS STATEMENT.

7.1As a participant in the Plan, the Eligible Employee (referred to in this Section 7 as “you” or “your”) is entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA.  ERISA provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled to:
Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits
Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, all Plan documents, including the Plan and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of Plan documents, including the Plan and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series). The Plan Administrator may require a reasonable charge for the copies.

Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries

In addition to creating rights for Plan participants ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate your Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

Enforce Your Rights
If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of the Plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan and do not receive them within thirty (30) days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court. In addition, if you disagree with the Plan’s decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order or a 
9

medical child support order, you may file suit in a Federal court. If it should happen that you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court shall decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.
Assistance with Your Questions
If you have any questions about your Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

on September 6, 2022, unless Nasdaq objects to any of the amendments below prior to such date, the Debenture shall be amended as follows:

 

1.
Section 4(b) of the Debenture shall be amended and restated as follows:

 

“b)
Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $4.50,
subject to adjustment herein.”

 

2.
Section 9(j) of the Debenture shall be amended and restated as follows:

 

“j)
Floor for Conversion Price of the Debentures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, the Conversion
Price of the Debentures shall in no event be lower than $4.50 (the “Floor Price”). The Floor Price shall be proportionately
decreased upon a stock split or share subdivision of Ordinary Shares, and shall be proportionately increased in the case of a reverse
stock split or share combination of Ordinary Shares. The Company agrees that while the Debentures remain outstanding, it will not issue
Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents at a price per share or with a conversion or exercise price per share, as applicable, that
is below the Floor Price without the prior written consent of the Holder.”

 

For
the avoidance of doubt, the amended Conversion Price in Section 4(b) above and the amended Floor Price in Section 9(j) above have already
been adjusted to reflect the share consolidation on April 22, 2022, in which every 20 ordinary shares with par value of US$0.0001 were
consolidated into one ordinary share with par value of US$0.002.

 

The
Debenture and this letter agreement shall be read together and shall have the same effect as if the Debenture and this letter agreement
were contained in one document. Except as expressly modified by this letter agreement, the terms and obligations of the Debenture and
the Transaction Documents remain unchanged and the Debenture and Transaction Documents shall continue in full force and effect.

 

This
letter agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to
the conflict of laws principles thereof.

 

     

     

    

 

If
you are in agreement with the foregoing, please have this letter agreement executed by your authorized representative and return a copy
to the undersigned.
