NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions

For purposes of this Certificate, the following terms have the meanings set forth below: "Applicable Requirements" means all statutes, regulations, regulatory guidance, contractual obligations, and internal policies expressly identified in the Engagement or Remediation Plan.

Full compliance achieved with respect to the Applicable Requirements, and no Material Exceptions remain.

Material exceptions remain. Description of exceptions and required further actions are provided below.

3. Scope of Procedures Performed

The Compliance Provider performed testing, verification, interviews, document review, and observational procedures as set forth in the attached Remediation Report. The scope included, without limitation, review of policies and procedures, employee training records, transaction testing, system configurations, and corrective action implementation. The procedures do not constitute an audit made in accordance with professional standards, and do not provide absolute assurance that all noncompliance has been identified.

4. Representations and Warranties

The Company represents and warrants that all information, documents, and records provided to the Compliance Provider were true, complete, and accurate to the best of the Company's knowledge as of the dates provided. The Compliance Provider represents and warrants that the procedures described were performed in good faith and in a manner consistent with professional practices applicable to compliance verification services.

5. Remedies and Indemnification

Each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party from and against any third-party claims, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from the indemnifying party's breach of its representations, warranties, or obligations under this Certificate or any material misstatement in the information provided for the purposes of the Engagement, except to the extent such claims arise from the indemnified party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6. Ongoing Monitoring and Survival

Notwithstanding issuance of this Certificate, the Company shall maintain and implement the controls and corrective actions described in the Remediation Plan. Any obligations expressly stated to survive termination of the Engagement or this Certificate shall remain in full force for the stated survival period or as required by applicable law.

7. Notices

All notices and communications required or permitted under this Certificate shall be in writing and delivered to the addresses set forth below by certified mail, courier, or personal delivery, and shall be deemed given upon receipt.

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or remedy will operate as a waiver of that right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any right will preclude any other or further exercise of that right.

9. Counterparts; Electronic Execution

This Certificate may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed will be deemed an original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. A signature delivered by electronic means, including scanned or electronic signature, shall be treated as an original signature for all purposes.

10. Governing Law; Severability; Entire Agreement

This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State or jurisdiction identified below without regard to conflict of law principles. If any provision of this Certificate is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
