(ii) Servicer may waive, modify or vary the terms of any Receivable and related Account or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification or postponement is consistent with its Underwriting Guidelines and the Servicing Manual; provided that Servicer shall not (A) forgive any portion of a scheduled payment under any Receivable or permit any modification with respect to any Receivable that would decrease total Scheduled Payments due thereunder unless, in each case such modification is made in accordance with the policy and procedures as identified in the Servicing Manual and the Underwriting Guidelines. For the avoidance of doubt, Servicer may waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any of the Receivables.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Servicing Manual, Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of Company, commence any Proceeding to enforce or collect upon the Receivables, regardless of whether such Proceeding is brought in its own name, as an agent for Company, or in the name of Company.

(c) Collection of Receivable Payments. Continuously from the date hereof until the principal, interest, fees and premiums on all Receivables are paid in full, Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing Manual, to collect all payments due under each of the Receivables and related Accounts when the same shall become due and payable.

Section 5. General Servicing Procedures; Compensation

(a) Servicing Compensation. As compensation for the Services, Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee on the first Business Day of each calendar month for services rendered during the immediately preceding month, it being understood that no compensation in addition to the Servicing Fee shall be payable in respect of Defaulted Receivables; provided however, in the event of termination of this Agreement and upon the receipt by Servicer of a Successor Servicer Commencement Notice, the Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of the Servicing Fee that would have been earned after the date occurring after the date of such termination on which the transfer of the servicing of the Receivables becomes fully effective.

(b) Invoicing. In the event that a Servicing Fee has not been paid in full when due as set forth in Section 5(a), Servicer shall invoice Company monthly, but no later than the 5^th Business Day of the applicable month, for the amount of the applicable Servicing Fee which remains unpaid. Such invoice shall include reasonable detail on the amount due, all amounts netted out of Collections and what such amounts are attributable to, and shall provide to Company such supporting documentation as Company may reasonably request.

(d) Company’s Right to Examine Servicer Records; Inspections.

(i) Company and its agents and designees shall have the right, after reasonable notice to Servicer, during normal business hours, to examine and audit any and all of the books, records, systems or other information of Servicer whether held by Servicer or by another on behalf of Servicer, which may be relevant to the performance or observance by Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement. The cost of such review shall be borne by the Company.

(ii) Servicer will permit, with reasonable advance notice, any authorized representatives designated by Company or its financing sources to visit and inspect, without hindrance, any of the properties of Servicer related to the Receivables or to the performance of this Agreement, to inspect, audit, copy and take extracts from its financial and accounting records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with any Person, including, without limitation, employees of Servicer and independent public accountants (and shall instruct such accountants to communicate directly with Company and its agents and designees), all at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may reasonably be requested.

(iii) At any time during the existence of a Servicer Event of Default and otherwise one (1) time in any calendar quarter, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, Servicer will permit any authorized representatives designated by Company to perform a compliance review (a “Compliance Review”) to examine, audit and verify the compliance by Servicer with this Agreement and applicable Laws. Servicer shall cooperate with all reasonable requests and provide Company (or its designees) with all necessary assistance and information in connection with each such Compliance Review. In connection with any such Compliance Review, Servicer will permit any authorized representatives designated by Company to review Servicer’s forms, books, records, information processes and internal control environment, records management, performance standards, compliance practices (including consumer compliance practices), policies, procedures, and practices with respect to the management and oversight of any agent, subcontractor, or service provider Servicer has involved in the provision of the services hereunder, and procedures and marketing materials. Company or its designees may make written recommendations regarding Servicer’s compliance with applicable Laws, and Servicer shall consider these recommendations in good faith, consult with Company regarding the implementation of such recommendations and will use commercially reasonable efforts to implement in all material respects on a timely basis any recommendation which Company determines, in its reasonable discretion, is a reasonable recommendation.

(iv) Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any of its agents, contractors, or service providers to allow Company and its designees access to the premises of such agent, contractor, or service provider for the purpose of auditing its operations related to the Services upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Servicer shall cooperate with any examination that may be required by any Governmental Authority with audit and examination authority over Company; provided, however, that if such audit is occasioned by anything other than the Servicer’s performance under this Agreement, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such audit (including without limitation reasonable attorneys, accountants and other professional fees) shall be reimbursed and paid by Company.

Section 6. Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

(a) Servicer Indemnification. Servicer will defend, indemnify and hold Company, its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, trustees, employees and agents harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against, any and all liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (regardless of the capacity in which the indemnified party incurs such liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (other than those for a third party claim with respect to which Servicer has retained counsel and assumed the defense on behalf of Company in accordance with Section 6(d)) reasonable out-of-pocket costs, interest and penalties arising from (i) any default or failure by Servicer in the performance of its duties as Servicer under this Agreement; (ii) errors and omissions of the Servicer in the performance of its duties as Servicer under this Agreement; (iii) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by Servicer under this Agreement or any breach by Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement; and (iv) fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of Servicer; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to Company or its Affiliates, or any of their officers, directors, employees and agents, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgement to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

(b) Company Indemnification. Company will defend, indemnify and hold Servicer, its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (regardless of the capacity in which the indemnified party incurs such liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (other than those for a third party claim with respect to which Company has retained counsel and assumed the defense on behalf of Servicer in accordance with Section 6(d)), reasonable out-of-pocket costs, interest and penalties, arising from (i) any breach of this Agreement on the part of Company; (ii) all third party claims brought against Servicer or its Affiliates that result from Company’s performance or failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) all third party claims brought against Servicer or its Affiliates arising out of or relating to the failure of Company and/or any of its Affiliates to comply with all applicable Laws, in all cases, except to the extent such liabilities, damages, losses and expenses arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Servicer; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to Servicer or its Affiliates, or any of their officers, directors, employees and agents, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgement to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

(c) Damages Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Servicer nor Company shall be liable to the other (or the other’s Affiliates, officer, directors, employees and agents) under or in connection with this Agreement for any indirect or consequential or other damages relating to prospective profits, income, anticipated sales or investments, or goodwill, or for any punitive or exemplary damages, except to the extent such losses or damages (i) are payable to a third party in connection with a third party claim or (ii) result from willful misconduct, a willful breach of this Agreement, fraud or gross negligence.

(d) Indemnification Procedure. A party entitled to indemnification shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim, assertion, event, condition or proceeding by any third party with respect to which it may request indemnification under this Section 6. The failure to give such notice will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability hereunder unless, and solely to the extent that, the liabilities, damages, losses or expenses to be indemnified could have been avoided with such prompt notification. An indemnifying party will have the right, upon written notice to the indemnified party within twenty (20) days after receiving notice of a third-party claim, to conduct at its own expense the defense against such third-party claim in its own name, or, if necessary, in the name of the indemnified party. When the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnified party will have no liability for any compromise or settlement of any third-party claim that is effected without its prior written consent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party and such compromise or settlement includes a release of each indemnified party from any liabilities arising out of the third-party claim. If the indemnifying party delivers a notice electing to conduct the defense of the third-party claim, the indemnified party will, at the indemnifying party’s expense, cooperate with and make available to the indemnifying party such assistance, personnel, witnesses and materials as the indemnifying party may reasonably request. If the indemnifying party does not deliver a notice electing to conduct the defense of the third- party claim, the indemnified party will have the sole right to conduct such defense and the indemnified party may pay, compromise or defend such third-party claim or proceeding at the indemnifying party’s expense. Regardless of which party defends the third-party claim, the other party will have the right at its sole expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing.

(e) Survival. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Section 7. Merger or Consolidation of Servicer.

(a) Existence. Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a limited liability company, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Receivables and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(b) Successor Qualifications. Subject to Company’s termination rights under Section 11, any Person into which Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Servicer shall be a party, or any Person (including an Affiliate of Servicer) succeeding to substantially all of the business or assets of Servicer (whether or not related to loan servicing), shall automatically be the successor of Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an entity whose ongoing business includes the servicing of Receivables and shall be fully licensed to service Receivables, respectively, under applicable Laws and in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the closing of any such merger, conversion or consolidation, the successor or surviving Person shall expressly assume in writing all obligations of Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8. Servicer Not to Resign. Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) by mutual consent of Servicer and Company, or (b) upon the determination that Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable Laws and such impermissibility cannot be cured by Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to Company, which opinion of counsel shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Company.

In connection with such appointment and assumption, Company may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Receivables as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree.

The resignation or removal of Servicer pursuant to this Section 11 shall not become effective until a Successor Servicer shall be appointed pursuant to this Section. Any Successor Servicer appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Company an instrument accepting such appointment (the “Successor Servicer Commencement Notice”), whereupon such Successor Servicer shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Successor Servicer must either assume the insurance contracts the Servicer maintained in conformance with Section 10(b) herein or acquire new policies that satisfy the conditions of Section 10(b) prior to accepting such appointment and the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to any amounts accrued and unpaid under such Insurance contracts prior to termination as Servicer. Any termination or resignation of Servicer or this Agreement shall not affect any claims that Company may have against Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

(ii) Upon termination or resignation of Servicer hereunder, Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Successor Servicer all Servicing Records and related documents and statements held by it hereunder. Servicer shall account for all funds held in trust for the benefit of Company under this Agreement and not yet deposited into the Collection Account and shall immediately distribute such funds and all funds held in the Collection Account to the Successor Servicer or as otherwise directed by Company, and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the Successor Servicer all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of Servicer. Servicer shall promptly notify Company of any funds Servicer receives with respect to any Receivable after the termination of this Agreement that are due to Company and shall promptly distribute such funds as directed by Company. The termination rights provided herein shall be in addition to whatever rights the non-defaulting party may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance. .

Section 12. Transition Services.

(a) Upon termination in whole or in part of this Agreement for any reason (other than termination pursuant to 11(d)(i) or (ii)), at Company’s request and expense, Servicer must provide reasonable transition services up to the end of the last full calendar month ending on or after the date that is six (6) months after the effective date of such termination, or such longer period as the parties may agree, to facilitate the orderly transfer of the Services to another provider or in bringing such services in-house with Company or its affiliates such that there will be no material interruption or adverse effect with respect to such Services.

(b) During any transition services period requested by Company pursuant to Section 12(a), Servicer shall diligently continue to perform the Services, and Company will diligently continue to fulfill its duties and obligations, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (subject to the payment of compensation therefor by Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) as if this Agreement had not been terminated during such time.

(c) Any notice of termination delivered to Servicer by Company shall specify, to the extent then known and possible, the timing and method of transition to a successor servicer. Servicer agrees to cooperate in the transfer of its responsibilities and rights hereunder to a successor servicer or subservicer, including, without limitation, the transfer to such party for administration by it of (a) all cash amounts that shall at the time be credited to the related Receivables or thereafter be received with respect to the related Receivables and (b) all files, documents and records relating to the related Receivables in its possession, regardless of whether such files are in electronic and hard copy form.

(d) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Servicer shall provide Company information concerning the Services reasonably necessary for the timely transition of the Services from Servicer to Company or the designee of Company.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer shall not be required to provide any Confidential Information of Servicer to any person other than that which it typically provides to Company pursuant to this Agreement, and then only to the extent that such person has executed a valid and binding confidentiality agreement with customary terms for agreements of such kind.

Section 13. Privacy; Confidentiality.

(a) Protection of Consumer Information.

(i) Servicer will only use, maintain and/or disclose Consumer Information in compliance with all applicable privacy and security Laws and with the policies set forth in this Section 13(a), and will ensure that Persons to whom it transfers Consumer Information do the same. In the event that Company or any of its Affiliates request Servicer to provide it with any Consumer Information, such Person shall have compliance measures in place with respect to such Consumer Information that comply with all applicable privacy and security Laws.

(ii) Servicer will establish and maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the Consumer Information. These safeguards will be designed to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the Consumer Information, ensure against any anticipated threats or hazards to its security and integrity, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information or associated records which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any Buyer or applicant.

(iii) Servicer will ensure that any third party to whom it transfers or discloses Consumer Information (other than a credit agency) signs a written contract with Servicer in which such third party agrees to (A) restrict its use of Consumer Information to the use specified in the written contract; (B) to comply with all applicable Laws; and (C) implement and maintain appropriate safeguards as stated in clause (ii) above.

(iv) Servicer shall notify Company immediately following discovery or notification of any breach of security of the systems maintained by Servicer. Servicer agrees to take action immediately, at its own expense, to investigate the breach, to identify and mitigate the effects of any such breach and to implement reasonable and appropriate measures in response to such breach. Servicer also will provide Company with all available information regarding such breach to assist Company in implementing its information security response program and, if applicable, in notifying affected Buyers. For the purposes of this Section 13(a), the term “breach of security” or “breach” means the unauthorized access to or acquisition of any record containing personally identifiable information relating to a Buyer, whether in paper, electronic, or other form, in a manner that renders misuse of the information reasonably possible or that otherwise compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of the information.

(v) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, neither Servicer nor Company will, and neither of them will be obligated to, take any action that either of them believes in good faith would violate, or is reasonably likely to cause either of them to violate, any applicable Laws or that would cause either of them to become a “consumer reporting agency” for purposes of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, as it may be amended from time to time.

(vi) Servicer will use commercially reasonable measures designed to properly dispose of all records containing personally identifiable information relating to Buyers, whether in paper, electronic, or other form, including adhering to policies and procedures that require the destruction or erasure of electronic media containing such personally identifiable information so that the information cannot practicably be read or reconstructed.

(b)

(ii) Account Level Data. The parties acknowledge and agree that all account level data, including the application, credit bureau and ongoing account performance history related to the Receivables sold to Company under the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement, shall be the property of Servicer.
