Subject to entry of the Sale Order and any other Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court applicable to the Transactions, Seller has the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transfer Documents to which Seller is a party and to perform all of the obligations to be performed by it hereunder and thereunder. Subject to entry of the Sale Order and any other Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court applicable to the Transactions, this Agreement and the Transfer Documents to which it is a party have been or, when executed, will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by it, and constitute or, when executed, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

(b)    Title to Note. Upon the Seller’s delivery of the Note to the Purchaser pursuant to the Settlement, the Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to such Note, free and clear of all Liens.

(c)    No Conflicts. Subject to entry of the Sale Order and any other Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court applicable to the Transactions, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transfer Documents to which Seller is a party and the performance or consummation of the Transactions by Seller do not conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on the Note owned by Seller under the terms or provisions of

3

(i) its organizational documents or memorandum and articles of association (as applicable), (ii) any contract, or (iii) any statute or any Order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over it or its property, except, in the case of either clause (ii) or (iii), for such conflicts, violations, defaults and accelerations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)    Certain Conduct. Seller has not (i) sold, assigned, transferred, delivered or otherwise disposed of all or any portion of the Note held by Seller, (ii) converted, exchanged or redeemed all or any portion of the Note, or (iii) agreed to do any of the foregoing.

(e)    Broker’s Fee; No Public Offering. No Person acting on behalf of Seller or under the authority of Seller shall be entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, or similar fee or commission in connection with the Transactions, other than the financial advisors retained by Seller in the Bankruptcy Proceeding.

(f)    Adequate Information; No Reliance; No Pressure. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has had the opportunity to access all materials, if any, it considers relevant to making an investment decision to enter into the Agreement and has had the opportunity to review (and has carefully reviewed) (A) the Purchaser’s filings and submissions with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, all information filed or furnished pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, the “Public Filings”) and (B) this Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) (collectively, the “Materials”), (ii) it has had the opportunity to consult with its accounting, tax, financial and legal advisors to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the Agreement and to make an informed decision with respect to the Agreement, (iii) it is experienced, sophisticated and knowledgeable in the trading of securities and is able to fend for itself in the Agreement, (iv) it is not relying, and has not relied, upon any statement, advice (whether accounting, tax, financial, legal or other), representation or warranty made by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates or any representatives or any other entity or person, except for the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser in this Agreement, (v) it had a sufficient amount of time to consider whether to participate in the Agreement and that the Purchaser has not placed any pressure on it to respond to the opportunity to participate in the Agreement and (vi) the terms of the Agreement are the result of bilateral negotiations between the parties, and the Seller was given a meaningful opportunity to negotiate the terms of the Agreement.

(g)    Material Non-Public Information. The Seller acknowledges that the Released Parties (as defined below) may be in possession of material non-public information regarding the Purchaser and its subsidiaries and the Note, and the Seller acknowledges such non-disclosure. The Seller acknowledges that such information may impact the value of the investment and may be material to its decision whether to enter into the investment, and such information may be adverse to the Seller. The Seller understands, based on its experience, the disadvantage to which the Seller is subject due to the disparity of information between the Released Parties and the Seller. Notwithstanding such disparity, the Seller has deemed it appropriate to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the sale of the Note.

(h)    Further Action. The Seller agrees that the Seller shall promptly execute and deliver such further agreements and instruments and take such further actions, as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

(i)    No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.1, neither Seller nor any other Person (other than Purchaser) has made any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to, or otherwise in connection with, the Note, Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, conditions (financial or otherwise) or prospects in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, and Seller disclaims any other representations or warranties, whether made by Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ respective representatives.

ARTICLE 3

COVENANTS

3.1    Tax Matters. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with Taxes with respect to the Transactions, using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction in respect of any Tax that could be imposed with respect to the Transactions. Purchaser shall not deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to Seller unless required by applicable Law. If the Purchaser reasonably believes that it is required to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to Seller under applicable Law, the Purchaser shall notify the Seller at least ten (10) Business Days before any such payment subject to withholding (or, if not reasonably practicable to give such notice at least ten (10) Business Days before payment, as soon as reasonably practicable).

3.2    Confidentiality. Each of Seller and Purchaser acknowledges that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, which terms are incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be bound thereby in the same manner and to the same extent as if the terms had been set forth herein in full except that Seller shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller is expressly permitted to disclose this Agreement, any Transfer Documents and, in each case, any exhibits and schedules thereto with the Bankruptcy Court as necessary or advisable in connection with the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser may disclose the terms and existence of this Agreement as may be required by law, including under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other filings, reports or disclosures that are required under applicable laws or regulations.

3.3    Due Diligence Cooperation. Until the earlier of (a) the Closing Date and (b) the consummation of an Alternative Transaction, the Purchaser shall, upon reasonable notice from Seller, use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to respond to diligence requests from Seller and potential purchasers in an Alternative Transaction, including by answering reasonable due diligence information requests making management of the Purchaser reasonably available for

7

Zoom meetings and, in the event that Seller seeks to enter into an Alternative Transaction with a purchase price for the Note of greater than $71,000,000.00 with a buyer that is acceptable to Purchaser (in its reasonable discretion), consent to such Alternative Transaction pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Note Purchase Agreement. In order to receive confidential information about the Purchaser (the “Confidential Purchaser Information”), (i) other potential purchasers shall have executed a confidentiality agreement with the Purchaser (as negotiated by the potential purchaser in each case and the Purchaser in good faith), and (ii) any potential purchaser proposal must reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Transaction with the Seller with a purchase price for the Note of greater than $71,000,000.00. Confidential Purchaser Information may include, if requested by such prospective potential purchaser, a projection model provided by the Purchaser to Seller dated December 9, 2023, and reasonable access by the potential purchaser to management for diligence calls in the ordinary course of an Alternative Transaction. Purchaser may, in its reasonable discretion, decline to negotiate a confidentiality agreement with any potential purchaser based on Purchaser’s good faith determination that the provision of Confidential Purchaser Information with that potential purchaser would negatively impact the Purchaser.

8

outside legal counsel. Seller shall not seek any modification to the Sale Order with respect to the Transactions by the Bankruptcy Court or any other Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction to which a decision relating to the Bankruptcy Proceeding has been appealed, in each case, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d)    If any order of the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement shall be appealed by any Person (or a petition for certiorari or motion for rehearing, re-argument or stay shall be filed with respect thereto), Seller agrees to, and agrees to cause its Debtor Affiliates to, use their commercially reasonable efforts, to defend against such appeal, petition or motion, and Purchaser agrees to cooperate reasonably in such efforts. Each Party hereby agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal.

4.3    Sale Order.

(a)    Subject to Section 4.2 and Section 7.7, each of Seller and Purchaser shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to cause the Sale Order to be issued, entered and become a Final Order, including furnishing affidavits, declarations or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court. Purchaser agrees that it will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by Seller to assist in obtaining entry of the Sale Order, including furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for the purposes, among others, of providing necessary assurances of performance by Purchaser under this Agreement and demonstrating that Purchaser is a “good faith” buyer under section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)    The Sale Order shall, among other things, (i) approve, pursuant to sections 105 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (A) the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement, (B) the sale of the Note to Purchaser on the terms set forth herein and free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and (C) the performance by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) find that (A) Purchaser is a “good faith” buyer within the meaning of section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and (B) Purchaser is not a successor to Seller and (iii) grant Purchaser the protections of section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)    After entry of the Sale Order, Seller shall not take any action which is intended to, or fail to take any action the intent of which failure to act is to, result in the reversal, voiding, modification or staying the Sale Order unless the Purchaser specifically consents to such action in writing.

7.7    Specific Performance.

(a)    Each Party agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for the breach of any of the covenants, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement. Accordingly, each Party will be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any such breach, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement without the necessity of posting bond or other security against it or proving damages, including specific performance of such covenants, promises or agreements (including to cause Purchaser to consummate the Transactions and to make the payments contemplated by this Agreement) or an Order enjoining a Party from any threatened, or from the continuation of any actual, breach of the covenants, promises or agreements contained in this Agreement. The rights set forth in this Section 7.7 will be in addition to any other rights which a Party may have at law or in equity pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)    Each Party agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the respective covenants and obligations of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, under this Agreement all in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.7.

7.8    Fiduciary Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement, or any document related to the Transactions, will require Seller or any of its directors, officers or stockholders, in each case, in their capacities as such, to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent inconsistent with their fiduciary obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, until the Closing has occurred, Seller retains the right to pursue any transaction or restructuring strategy that, in Seller’s business judgment, will maximize the value of its estate.

14

7.9    Entire Understanding; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Transfer Documents together set forth the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all contemporaneous understandings and prior agreements, written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Transfer Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. No representation, warranty, inducement, promise, understanding or condition not set forth in this Agreement has been made or relied on by any Party in entering into this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person, other than the Parties or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities.

7.10    Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under it may be assigned by a Party (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported assignment in violation of this Section 7.10 will be void, except for the following assignments which shall not require any consent and will not be void: (a) assignment to an Affiliate of either Party (provided that such Party remains liable jointly and severally with its assignee Affiliate for the assigned obligations to the other Party) and (b) assignment by Seller to a succeeding entity following its emergence from the Bankruptcy Proceeding. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Party to this Agreement and its successors and permitted assigns.

7.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will constitute an original and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one Agreement.

7.12    Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement is found to be in violation of Law or unenforceable for any reason, then (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision, covenant or restriction to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction, and the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

7.13    No Presumption. The Parties agree that this Agreement was negotiated fairly between them at arm’s length and that the final terms of this Agreement are the product of their negotiations. Each Party represents and warrants that it has sought and received experienced legal counsel of its own choosing with regard to the contents of this Agreement and the rights and obligations affected hereby. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and equally drafted by them, and that the provisions of this Agreement therefore should not be construed against a Party on the grounds that such Party drafted or was more responsible for drafting the provisions.

15

7.14    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)    This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware, and the obligations, rights and remedies of each Party shall be determined in accordance with such Laws.

(b)    Without limiting a Party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court will retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any Claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the Note, and (ii) any and all proceedings related to the foregoing will be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and each Party hereby consents to and submits to the jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court for such purposes and will receive notices at such locations as indicated in Section 7.6; provided, however, that if the Bankruptcy Proceeding has been closed pursuant to section 350 of the Bankruptcy Code, each Party agrees to unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action, in the Delaware Court of Chancery, for the resolution of any such claim or dispute. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Action brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each Party agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(c)    Each Party consents to process being served by the other Party in any Action by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.6; provided, however, that such service will not be effective until the actual receipt thereof by the Party being served.

(d)    Each Party waives any right to trial by jury in any Action regarding this Agreement or any provision hereof.

7.15    Damages. Neither Party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including business interruption, loss of future revenue, profits or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

7.16    Interpretation. (a) As used in this Agreement, references to:

Dave Announces Repurchase of

$100 million Convertible Note from FTX for $71 million

LOS ANGELES, January 5, 2024 - Dave Inc. (“Dave” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DAVE), one of the nation’s leading neobanks, today announced it has reached an agreement with FTX Ventures Ltd. (“FTX”) to purchase a convertible promissory note that it previously issued to FTX in the original principal amount of $100 million, for a discounted purchase price of $71 million. FTX filed a motion in its bankruptcy proceeding seeking approval of the agreement, which is scheduled to be heard on January 25, 2024.

The closing of the transaction is conditioned upon the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the agreement and upon FTX not entering into an alternative transaction for the sale of the convertible note.

“We believe the transaction represents a compelling capital allocation opportunity for Dave. Accounting for the payment, we remain confident that we have sufficient capital to execute on our growth plan without the need to raise additional equity capital,” said Jason Wilk, Founder and CEO of Dave.
