Re:

Committed Line of Credit

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to that certain letter agreement governing the captioned Line of Credit among Lendbuzz, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (“Lendbuzz”), and Lendbuzz Funding LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (“Lendbuzz Funding”), (Lendbuzz and Lendbuzz Funding, each a “Borrower” and, collectively, the “Borrowers”), and Bank Hapoalim B.M. (“Bank,” “we,” or “us”) dated March 31, 2023 (as amended by that certain First Amendment dated as of April 3, 2024, and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Existing Letter Agreement”; unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms are used as defined in the Existing Letter Agreement) and that certain Line of Credit Note (Committed) dated as of March 31, 2023 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Existing Note”) made by Borrowers in favor of Bank.

Borrowers have requested, and the Bank has agreed, to amend the Existing Letter Agreement to (i) increase the maximum amount available under the Line of Credit and (ii) extend the Maturity Date of the Line of Credit, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this “Amendment”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.	Amendment of Loan Documents.

(a) Amendment of Section A.1.1 of the Existing Letter Agreement. Section A.1.1 of the Existing Letter Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“Bank hereby agrees to make available to Borrowers a committed line of credit (“Line of Credit”) under which Borrowers may request and Bank, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, will make advances (“Advances”) to Borrowers from time to time up to the earlier to occur of (i) May 29, 2026, (ii) the acceleration of the maturity of the amounts due hereunder upon an Event of Default (as defined in Section B. below) (including the expiration of any applicable cure period) and (iii) the date the Borrowers elects in writing to terminate the Line of Credit; provided that on such date there are no Obligations outstanding and Borrowers have provided at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Bank (which notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of a specified

transaction and revoked or delayed if such transaction does not occur or is delayed)(“Maturity Date”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time the Maximum Line of Credit Amount, the proceeds of which shall be used for the purposes set forth in Section A.5.13 below. The “Maximum Line of Credit Amount” shall mean $50,000,000. The Maturity Date may be extended by the mutual agreement of Borrowers and Bank. Borrowers’ obligation to repay Advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note in form and content attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Note”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.”

(b) Amendment of Section A.6.3(a)(ii) of the Existing Letter Agreement. Section A.6.3(a)(ii) of the Existing Letter Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“ (ii) At all times, Borrowers shall maintain a cash balance in depository accounts with Bank an aggregate amount equal to or greater than $7,500,000. In addition, at all times, cash balance in depository accounts with Bank, combined with the unused availability under the Line of Credit will not be less than $12,500,000. With respect to this Section A.6.3(a)(ii) only, Borrowers shall have a period of five (5) Business Days to cure any breach thereof.”

(c) Amendment of the Existing Note. Each reference in the Existing Note to the amount of “$20,000,000” shall be replaced with a reference to the amount of “$50,000,000”.
