Medallion Funding is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform, the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents and shall continue to manage, service, administer and collect on the Medallion Loans pursuant to this Agreement, unless and until expressly agreed otherwise by the Borrower and the Agent.

(b) Medallion Funding acknowledges that the other parties hereto have relied on Medallion Funding’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Accordingly, Medallion Funding agrees that it will not resign as Servicer except as permitted pursuant to Section 7.02.

(c) Medallion Funding, in the case of clause (i) below, and Borrower, in the case of clause (ii) below, hereby agree that upon the designation of a successor Servicer hereunder of the Servicer’s duties and responsibilities in accordance with Section 8.01, (i) Medallion Funding will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 8.02 and, in any case, in a manner which the Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to such successor Servicer and Medallion Funding shall cooperate with and assist such successor Servicer and (ii) such successor Servicer shall, without any further action by the Borrower or such successor Servicer, be appointed as the Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising such power and authority as is or may from time to time be designated to the Servicer hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MEDALLION LOANS

Section 3.01 Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Agent, shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Medallion Loans and enforce the Borrower’s rights with respect to the collateral thereunder and any guarantees thereof in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations and with the degree of skill, care and diligence of lenders in the industry for the servicing of comparable assets, but in no event, with less skill, care and diligence than the Servicer or any of its Affiliates exercises with respect to all comparable assets that it services for itself or others (such standards, the “Accepted Servicing Practices”). The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on Medallion Loans, investigating delinquencies, sending invoices to Obligors, as appropriate, reporting tax information, if any, to Obligors, preparing and delivering Medallion Loan Files to the Custodian, accounting for Collections and furnishing statements and reports to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall follow the Accepted Servicing Practices in performing its duties as Servicer. To the extent consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices and the following sentence, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with management, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, executing and delivering on behalf of itself and the Borrower, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Medallion Loans or any Medallion securing such Medallion Loans. The Servicer is authorized to release Liens on Medallions granted pursuant to the Medallion Loan, (i) if the debt secured thereby has been fully

paid and the proceeds of the repayment of such debt are deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.01 hereof, and/or (ii) to liquidate such Medallions in accordance with its customary standards, policies and procedures, Accepted Servicing Practices and the Credit and Collection Policy. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Medallion Loan, the Borrower shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Medallion Loan to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Medallion Loan on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Medallion Loan, the Borrower shall, at the Servicer’s expense (if the Servicer is Medallion Funding or an Affiliate of Medallion Funding) and direction, take steps to enforce such Medallion Loan, including bringing suit in the name of the Borrower. The Borrower shall, upon the written request of the Servicer, furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Medallion Loan or Medallion or to foreclose upon or repossess any Medallion Collateral.

Section 3.02 Collection and Allocation of Medallion Loan Payments Modifications of Medallion Loans. (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Medallion Loans as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to comparable medallion loans that it or any of its Affiliates services for itself or others and otherwise act with respect to the Medallion Loans, in such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with respect thereto. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Medallion Loan. The Servicer shall allocate Collections relating to principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the related Medallion Loans.

(b) The Medallion Loan and other Medallion Loan Documents have not been and shall not be extended, waived, amended or modified except (i) if a Default has occurred and is continuing, with the prior written consent of the Agent, (ii) the Termination Date has occurred, with the prior written consent of the Agent and (iii) at all other times, in accordance with the Servicer’s written Underwriting Guidelines and the Credit and Collection Policy and would not result in any Medallion Loan ceasing to be an Eligible Medallion Loan; provided, however, that any such extension, waiver, amendment or modification will not alter the delinquency status of such Medallion Loan for purposes of the Default Rate or the Delinquency Rate or the characterization as an Eligible Medallion Loan.

Section 3.03 Realization upon Medallion Loans. (a) The Servicer shall enforce compliance with the terms of the Medallion Loans in a manner consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall include in any Report on any Report Date, as applicable, any default under a Medallion Loan (a “Medallion Loan Default”), which such Report shall include actions the Servicer proposes to take with respect to such Medallion Loan Default, including, without limitation, (1) initiation or continuation of negotiations with the Obligor,

(2) acceleration of such Medallion Loan, (3) repossession of the Medallion related to Medallion Loan, (4) initiation of litigation or collection proceedings, and (5) such other action as the Servicer may deem appropriate in conformity with the Accepted Servicing Practices.

(b) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall use its best efforts (if the Servicer is Medallion Funding or an Affiliate of Medallion Funding, otherwise commercially reasonable efforts) to repossess (or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and liquidate, if necessary, any Medallion securing a Medallion Loan with respect to which the Servicer has determined that payments thereunder are not likely to be resumed, as soon as practicable after default on such Medallion Loan but in no event later than the date on which any regularly scheduled payment has become more than 360 days delinquent; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Medallion within such time period if no Servicer Default has occurred and in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Medallion Loan (after giving effect to expenses associated with such repossession and reimbursement to the Servicer hereunder) would be increased by forbearance; and provided, further, that the Servicer shall not be required to repossess a Medallion if prohibited by law. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, which practices and procedures may include the sale of the related Medallion at a public or private sale, and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon a Medallion Loan.

Section 3.04 Maintenance of Security Interests. (a) The Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the first priority security interest created by the Loan Documents. The Servicer agrees to mark its master computer databases and computer files (by way of the creation of a special “field” or otherwise), in a manner acceptable to the Agent, to evidence the interests granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. At any time and from time to time, the Servicer shall, or shall cause the Borrower to, and the Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as are necessary (or as are reasonably requested by the Agent) for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of the Secured Parties under the Loan Agreement and of its rights and powers therein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens created by the Loan Agreement or the taking of any other action necessary to preserve the status of the Agent’s Liens on the Collateral as first priority perfected Liens. A photographic or other reproduction of the Loan Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.

(b) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Borrower and the Agent as are necessary to maintain perfection of the first priority security interest created by each Medallion Loan in the related Medallion, including the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-filing and re-registering of all security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to maintain the security interest under the respective Medallion Loans. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-

perfect such security interest in the name of Borrower as necessary because of any reason. The Servicer shall maintain the Medallion Loan Schedule and will update such Medallion Loan Schedule from time to time to reflect the Medallion Loans sold or contributed to the Borrower to reflect the release of any Medallion Loan from the Lien of the Loan Agreement in accordance with the Loan Documents.

Section 3.05 Servicing Fee. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Servicer (the “Servicing Fee”), as compensation for its activities hereunder, on each Settlement Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of calendar days since the immediately prior Settlement Date, and the denominator of which shall be 360, multiplied by (iii) the Net Principal Balance of the Medallion Loans serviced by the Servicer.

(b) The accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee shall be paid to the Servicer out of Collections as set forth in Article II of the Loan Agreement. In the event Available Funds under Section 2.05(b) of the Loan Agreement are insufficient to pay such Servicing Fee in full, the Servicer shall have no claim against the Borrower for the amount of such deficiency unless and until there are Available Funds available to pay such Servicing Fee pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payments set forth in, Section 2.05(b).

Section 3.06 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Medallion Loans. The Servicer shall provide to federal, state and local regulatory agencies, and their respective examiners, access to the documentation regarding the Medallion Loans required by applicable regulations of such agencies. Such access shall be afforded without charge upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

Section 3.07 Servicer Expenses. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Agent, and shall be reimbursed for such expenses solely to the extent expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Backup Servicer is appointed successor Servicer hereunder, such successor Servicer should be entitled to reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder.

Section 3.08 Appointment of Subservicer. The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall have approved such appointment in writing and the Backup Servicer shall have received written notice of the appointment of any such subservicer and shall have been given an opportunity to perform an operational review of such subservicer; (ii) the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Borrower and the Agent for the servicing and administering of the Medallion Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer and

to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Medallion Loans; and (iii) the agreement with the subservicer provides that it may be terminated by any successor Servicer if the Servicer that had entered into such subservicing agreement is terminated as Servicer hereunder. The fees and expenses of the subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and its subservicer from time to time and neither of the Borrower nor any Secured Party shall have any responsibility therefor. The Agent may at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Default in its sole discretion direct Medallion Funding to replace any of its subservicers on notice given by the Agent to Medallion Funding and may designate as subservicer any Person to succeed such subservicer or any successor subservicer.

Section 3.09 Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may at any time perform through sub-contractors the specific duties of (i) repossession of Medallions, and (ii) pursuing the collection of deficiency balances on defaulted Medallion Loans, in each case without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent. The Servicer may also perform other specific duties through such sub-contractors in accordance with its customary servicing policies and procedures without the prior consent of the Borrower or the Agent. No such delegation or sub-contracting of duties by the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties. Any sub-contractor engaged by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall (i) have all licenses and permits necessary to perform such specific duties, (ii) be a Person experienced in the performance of such specific duties, and (iii) not have been subject to any litigation, civil or criminal penalty, or other similar action, except to the extent reasonable and ordinary for a Person engaging in activities similar to such specific duties. The Agent may at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Default in its sole discretion direct Medallion Funding to replace any of its delegates on notice given by the Agent to Medallion Funding.

Section 3.10 [Reserved].

Section 3.11 Enforcement of Prohibition on Transfer of Medallion. The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any sale or Lien, or prospective sale or Lien, by any Obligor of the related Medallion (whether by sale or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Obligor remains or is to remain liable under the Medallion Loan), exercise or cause to be exercised any rights to accelerate the maturity of such Medallion Loan under the terms thereof.

Section 3.12 Conservation and Disposition of Medallion. In the event that any Medallion is repossessed by the Servicer, the Servicer shall conserve and protect each such Medallion for the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The disposition of any such Medallion shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices and with a view to maximizing the net present value recovery from such disposition. The Servicer shall deposit the proceeds of any such disposition into the Collection Account no later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day following receipt thereof by the Servicer (or in the case of a successor Servicer, on the second Business Day following receipt). Pending such deposit, such funds shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 3.13 Proceeds.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by the Servicer consisting of cash, checks and other cash equivalents shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of the Servicer, and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Servicer be turned over to the Agent (in the case of a successor Servicer, within two Business Days) for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the exact form received by the Servicer (duly endorsed by the Servicer to the Agent, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by the Agent (whether from the Servicer or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Agent against, the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) in the order set forth in Section 2.05(b) of the Loan Agreement. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Loan Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to the Servicer or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, recoveries against Obligors, sale and foreclosure proceeds, and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral.

(b) At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived, at the Agent’s request and at the Servicer’s expense (so long as Medallion Funding or any of its Affiliates is the Servicer), if the Backup Servicer has not become the successor Servicer, the Servicer shall (and if the Servicer shall fail to do so within two Business Days, the Agent may) notify each Obligor and Seller of Medallion Loans of the security interest of the Agent under this Agreement and direct that payments be made directly to the Agent or its designee. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer authorizes the Agent, and hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution and with full authority in place of the Borrower or the Servicer, to take any and all steps in the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s name and on behalf of the Borrower or the Servicer following the occurrence of an Event of Default that are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect amounts due under the Medallion Loans or any Medallion Collateral with respect thereto, including, without limitation, endorsing the Borrower’s, the Servicer’s or the Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections of Medallion Loans and enforcing the Medallion Loans and the Medallion Collateral, the Purchase Agreement, any Approved Purchase Agreement and any Affiliated Loan Sale Agreement.

Section 3.14 Backup Servicer. The Servicer agrees to undertake the procedures and perform the other obligations to be performed by it under and in accordance with the terms of the Backup Servicing Agreement. In the event of any resignation or removal of the Backup Servicer under and in accordance with the Backup Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicer may be replaced by the Agent in its sole discretion (on substantially the same terms as the existing Back-up Servicing Agreement, or on such other terms as the Agent may determine in good faith to be market terms for agreements of that type) by notice given in writing to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Borrower; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Servicer Default is not continuing, the Servicer shall have right to consent to the appointment of a successor Backup Servicer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

Section 4.01 Collection Account.

(a) The Servicer shall instruct all Obligors to remit payments in respect of the Medallion Loans directly to a Lockbox Account (or to a post-office box maintained by a Lockbox Account Bank exclusively for receipt of items to be deposited to a Lockbox Account). If, notwithstanding such instructions, the Servicer shall receive any Collections, the Servicer shall deposit such Collections to the Collection Account, no later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day following receipt thereof by the Servicer (or in the case of a successor Servicer on the second Business Day following receipt). Pending such deposit, such funds shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account on any day shall be held therein in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Servicer will use its commercially reasonable efforts not to permit funds other than Collections on the Medallion Loans to be deposited into any Lockbox Account or the Collection Account. To the extent any funds other than Collections are deposited into the Collection Account, the Servicer shall promptly identify such funds and notify the Agent of the same and direct the Agent to remit such funds the Person entitled thereto.

(b) Funds deposited in the Collection Account in any Monthly Period shall be allocated between Collections in respect of principal payments on the Medallion Loans and Collections in respect of interest and finance charge payments on the Medallion Loans.

(c) All amounts held in the Collection Account shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested by the Collection Account Bank, as directed by the initial Servicer in writing, in Eligible Investments that do not have a maturity of greater than 30 days, provided, however, that if Medallion Funding shall fail to specify such Eligible Investments in a timely manner, Medallion Funding is no longer the Servicer or a Collection Account Notice (as defined in the Collection Account Control Agreement) has been delivered to the Collection Account Bank, the Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, specify Eligible Investments. Any such written direction shall certify that any such investment is authorized by this Section 4.01. Investments in Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Agent on behalf of the Borrower, and such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity unless otherwise directed by the Agent. Any investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be made in Eligible Investments held by or on behalf of the Agent with respect to which the Collection Account Bank has noted its interest therein by book entry or otherwise. If such Eligible Investments are specific certificated securities (as such term is used in the applicable UCC) they shall be either (A) in the possession of the Agent or its agent together with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to

the Agent in a manner which complies with this Section 4.01 or (B) in the possession of a clearing corporation (as such term is used in the applicable UCC), registered in the name of such clearing corporation, not endorsed for collection or surrender or any other purpose not involving transfer, not containing any evidence of a right or interest inconsistent with the Agent’s security interest therein, and held by such clearing corporation in a securities account maintained by such clearing corporation for the Agent or the Collection Account Bank for the benefit of the Agent. Subject to the other provisions hereof and the Collection Account Agreement, the Agent shall have sole control over each such investment and the income thereon.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Agent a hard copy of any such report upon request of the Agent.

(b) Upon discovery by the Servicer of any Medallion Loan ceasing to be an Eligible Medallion Loan, if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or will result therefrom, the Servicer shall (or shall cause the Borrower to) deliver an Eligibility Violation Notice to the Agent and the Backup Servicer, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.02(b), no later than 12:00 (noon) New York time on the Business Day immediately succeeding such discovery.

(c) The Servicer shall deliver to the Agent and the Backup Servicer and/or permit the Agent and the Backup Servicer to inspect any property, books, valuations, records, audits or other information as the Agent or the Backup Servicer may reasonably request upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 4.03 Monthly Data.

Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default the Servicer shall, if so requested by the Agent, deliver to the Agent or the Agent’s designee, as applicable the Servicer’s Servicing Records as soon as practicable and in any event within 15 days after

demand therefor and a computer tape containing as of the close of business on the date of demand all of the data maintained by the Servicer in computer format reasonably required to service the Medallion Loans, including providing explanation of (or detail of) all data fields provided by the Servicer along with the field formats and codes of the data fields provided by the Servicer. Other than the duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any obligation hereunder to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer. The Agent shall not have any liability for any actions taken or omitted by the Servicer.

(b) Nothing herein shall impose or imply a duty or obligation on the Agent to independently verify, investigate, audit or recalculate any information or data contained in any Settlement Date Report.

Section 4.04 Notification of Certain Events. If the Servicer has knowledge of an Event of Default, a Default, a Servicer Default or a Termination Event occurs and is continuing, the Servicer shall so notify the Agent and the Backup Servicer promptly following the discovery of such Event of Default, Default, Servicer Default or Termination Event.
