Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

(b)The Purchaser, MCFC and each Seller shall cooperate in good faith in connection with the filing of any tax returns or other documentation with respect to such taxes, in providing each other with any appropriate resale exemption certification and other similar documentation and to minimize such taxes incurred in connection with transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a)The party seeking indemnification under Section 9 (the "Indemnified Party") agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party ("Third Party Claim") in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party).

(b)The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense.

(c)If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably

withheld; provided, that any consent which requires the admission of guilt, liability or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party shall not be deemed unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim if the settlement does not release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim or the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose. The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party.

(e)Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

SECTION 12.    Calculation of Damages.

(a)The amount of any Damages payable under Section 9 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any (i) amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other person alleged to be responsible therefor, and (ii) tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse such Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by such Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

(b)The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 9 for any (i) consequential or punitive Damages, other than consequential or punitive damages assessed in favor of a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim against an Indemnified Party, or (ii) Damages for lost profits or diminution in value.

(c)Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate any loss for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement. If such Indemnified Party mitigates its loss after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of that loss and in doing so recovers any amounts, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party and pay to the Indemnifying Party such amounts (less the Indemnified Party's actual costs of mitigation) as promptly as

practicable after the benefit is received and such amounts shall be deemed not to have been paid to such Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement.

(d)Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage, or from any other person alleged to be responsible, for any Damages payable under Section 9.

SECTION 13. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing Date:

SECTION 15.    Savings Clause; Further Assurances.

It is the intention of MCFC, the Sellers and the Purchaser that the transfer and assignment of the Assets from the Sellers to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and each Bill of Sale shall constitute an absolute and irrevocable sale of the Assets from the Sellers to the Purchaser (and not a loan or secured borrowing) free and clear of all liens and rights of others and it is intended that the beneficial interest in and title to the Assets shall not be part of any Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a petition by or against any Seller under any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

None of MCFC or the related Seller has entered into any agreement with the Obligor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of the Loan. Except for Lienholder consent, for the validity and enforceability of such sale, transfer and assignment, no consent by the Obligor or any other Person is required under any agreement or applicable law.

EXHIBIT E TO ASSET SALE AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT F TO ASSET SALE AGREEMENT

This Escrow Agreement (this "Escrow Agreement") is dated as of [ ], 2019 by and among Pioneer Asset Trust, a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Party A"), MidCountry Financial Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Georgia ("Party B"), and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., a national banking association ("Wells Fargo Bank"), not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent").

W I T N E S E T H:

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Asset Sale Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2019 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the "Agreement"), among Pioneer Financial Services, Inc., as a seller (a "Seller"), Pioneer Funding, Inc., as a seller (a "Seller"), Pioneer Services Corp., as a seller (a "Seller" and together with each other Seller party thereto, the "Sellers"), Party A and Party B.

WHEREAS, this Escrow Agreement is the escrow agreement referred to in Section 3(c) of the Agreement, which provides that, on or prior to the date hereof, Party A will deposit $[ ] in cash into escrow (the "Escrow Amount").

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is not a party to the Agreement, is not bound by any of its terms and will not be required to refer to the Agreement for any instructions.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Establishment of Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent will hold the Escrow Amount in escrow upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to open an account for the purposes set forth in this Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Account").

2.Purpose. The purpose of the Escrow Account is to retain the Escrow Amount subject to the terms hereof from the date hereof until the latest of (i) the Release Date (as defined herein), or

(ii) the date upon which, after all pending Claims (as defined herein) have been finally settled or resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent disburses all remaining funds in the Escrow Account, if any, pursuant to Section 5(d)(ii) (the period from the date hereof through and including such date, the "Escrow Period").

3.Delivery of Escrow Amount. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement, Party A has delivered to the Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount. The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Amount and the deposit thereof to the Escrow Account.

4.Non-investment of Escrow Amount. The Escrow Amount will not be invested and will not earn interest, and the Escrow Agent shall not have any obligation or liability to pay interest or earnings on the Escrow Amount.

5.Release from Escrow. The Escrow Agent will hold the funds held in the Escrow Account in escrow until distributed as required by the provisions in this Section 5. Distributions shall be made as follows: distributions with respect to Party A and Party B, as applicable, shall be made by wire transfer pursuant to the wire instructions set forth in Annex A-4 hereto. Distributions under subsections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) below shall not be made by the Escrow Agent if the Escrow Agent has been advised that an appeal or other relief is being sought, or if it has received notice of a stay of such order or ruling, pending appeal. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the city of Wilmington, Delaware are required or authorized by law to be closed.

(a)    Release Upon Joint Instruction. If Party A and Party B give the Escrow Agent joint written notice of instruction in the form of Annex A-1 hereto, evidencing that all or any portion of the funds held in the Escrow Account is to be released (the "Joint Instructions"), then the Escrow Agent will release such portion to Party A or Party B, as applicable, within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of the Joint Instructions.

(b)    Release to Party A In Connection With a Claim. From time to time before the end of the Escrow Period, Party A or any of its successors or assigns can assert a claim that it is entitled to retain all or a portion of the Escrow Amount and that Party B is not entitled to be paid the contingent consideration represented thereby pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (each, a "Claim") and demand the return of all or a portion of the Escrow Amount by sending a written notice, in the form of Annex A-2 hereto (the "Claim Notice"), to the Escrow Agent with a copy to Party B. If the Escrow Agent receives any Claim Notice before the end of the Escrow Period, the Claim Notice will be deemed to represent a pending Claim or pending Claims. The Escrow Agent will have no obligation to investigate or determine the validity or sufficiency of any pending Claim. After receiving a Claim Notice from Party A, and unless earlier distributed pursuant to this Section 5, the Escrow Agent will disburse the amount specified therein from the Escrow Account to Party A upon the earliest to occur of:

(i)    two (2) Business Days after it receives a certified order or ruling from any arbitrator ordering or instructing it to do so; provided that nothing in this Section 5(b)(i) or in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a submission, by Party A or Party B, to binding arbitration in order to resolve any dispute hereunder; and

(ii)    two (2) Business Days after it receives a certified order or ruling from a court ordering or instructing it to do so; and

(iii)    fifteen (15) Business Days after the Escrow Agent's receipt of a Claim Notice if by that date it has not received actual notice of Party B's objection thereto from Party B in the form of Annex A-3 hereto.

(c)    Upon Receipt of Timely Objection to a Claim. If the Escrow Agent receives from Party B a timely written objection to the disbursement of all or any portion of the funds held in the Escrow Account to Party A, the Escrow Agent will hold such disputed amount in the Escrow Account until the Escrow Agent receives written instruction to release such portion of the disputed amount in accordance with any of Sections 5(a), 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii). Upon receipt of such written instruction, the Escrow Agent is authorized to disburse and will disburse from the Escrow Account

the amount indicated in the relevant instruction in accordance with the terms of such Section 5(a), 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii), as applicable.

(i)    on the date that is one hundred (100) days after the date hereof (the "Release Date"), the remaining portion of the Escrow Amount, in excess of the aggregate amount sought under all then pending Claims, which such released amount shall be deemed to be contingent consideration that has become payable to Party B; and

(ii)    after the Release Date (with respect to Claims pending on the Release Date, if any) upon the final resolution of a pending Claim and payment to Party A of the full amount owing to it with respect to such Claim, if any, the excess of the amount held in the Escrow Account with respect to such pending Claim over the amount so paid with respect to the final settlement of such Claim, which such released amount shall be deemed to be contingent consideration that has become payable to Party B, (the "Released Amount"); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amounts will be released to Party B if the amount remaining in the Escrow Account following such release would be less than the aggregate amount of all pending Claims. Following disbursement of all of the remaining funds in the Escrow Account, the Escrow Period will be deemed to have expired and the Escrow Account will terminate.

6.Tax Reporting. Party A and Party B agree to treat for federal and state income tax purposes the arrangements created by this Escrow Agreement as a grantor trust of which Party A is the grantor within the meaning of Sections 671 through 679 of the Code. With respect to any amounts payable under this Escrow Agreement, each of Party A and Party B shall deliver to the Escrow Agent such tax forms or other documents requested by the Escrow Agent as shall be prescribed by the Code or other applicable law at such time or times reasonably required by the Escrow Agent, including such tax forms or other documents, as applicable (x) to demonstrate that payments to or on behalf of Party A and Party B under this Escrow Agreement are exempt from any United States of America withholding tax imposed pursuant to the Code, including under FATCA, or (y) to allow the Escrow Agent to determine the amount to deduct or withhold (and to allow the Escrow Agent to so deduct or withhold) pursuant to the Code, including under FATCA, from a payment to be made hereunder, and further agrees to complete and to deliver to the Escrow Agent from time to time, any successor or additional forms required by the Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, United States of America withholding tax imposed pursuant to the Code, including under FATCA. Each of Party A and Party B covenants to the Escrow Agent that it shall provide to the Escrow Agent any required form, document or certificate necessary to cause any payments to be made by it pursuant to this Escrow Agreement to be permitted to be made free from any withholding or deduction pursuant to an agreement described in or otherwise imposed pursuant to FATCA. Party A and Party B shall indemnify the Escrow Agent for the full amount of any tax the Escrow Agent is required to pay in connection with any payment made to or on behalf of Party A or Party B, as applicable, hereunder, and any liability (including any penalties and interest thereon) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. For purposes hereof, "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, together with the regulations thereunder, as in effect from

time to time. For purposes hereof, "FATCA" means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amendments or successor versions thereof) and any related current or future rules, regulations or official interpretations thereof.

7.Resignation and Discharge. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving notice of such resignation to Party B and Party A specifying a date not less than ten (10) Business Days following the date of such notice when such resignation will take effect (subject to the provisions of this Section 7). Upon such notice, a successor escrow agent that is a commercial bank with unimpaired capital of at least $50,000,000 will be selected by Party B, subject to the approval of Party A (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), such successor escrow agent to become the Escrow Agent hereunder upon the resignation date specified in such notice. If Party B and Party A are unable to agree upon a successor escrow agent within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice or the chosen successor fails to accept the escrow, the Escrow Agent may apply, at the sole expense of Party A and Party B, jointly and severally (including all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such petition), to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent. The Escrow Agent will continue to serve hereunder until its successor accepts the escrow and acknowledges receipt of the funds held in the Escrow Account.

8.Concerning the Escrow Agent. The following provisions will govern the Escrow Agent's rights, powers, obligations and duties under this Escrow Agreement, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

(a)    the Escrow Agent undertakes to perform such duties, and only such duties, as are expressly set forth in this Escrow Agreement. No implied duties, obligations or covenants will be read into this Escrow Agreement;

The right of the Escrow Agent to perform any permissive or discretionary act or exercise any permissive or discretionary right or privilege enumerated in this Escrow Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Escrow Agent shall not be required to take discretionary action, and the Escrow Agent shall not be personally answerable except to Party A and Party B for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of

any such act (as conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final order or verdict not subject to appeal);

(d)    the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) due to any event beyond the reasonable control of the Escrow Agent including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services;

(e)    the Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, without investigation or other action on its part, upon, and shall not incur liability to any person in acting upon, any signature, notice, instruction, resolution, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond, request or other instrument, document or paper, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which the Escrow Agent shall believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or persons purporting to sign the same, and such reliance shall not constitute negligence or misconduct in connection with the Escrow Agent's handling of funds or otherwise. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any such documents, and shall not be required to recalculate, certify, or verify any information contained therein;

(f)    receipt by the Escrow Agent of any report or other information delivered or otherwise made available to it pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement and other publicly available information, is for informational purposes only and shall not be deemed to constitute either actual or constructive knowledge by it of such information, unless a Responsible Officer of the Escrow Agent actually receives such report or other information and the Escrow Agent (i) is expressly required under the terms of this Escrow Agreement to review such information or the contents of any such report, or (ii) determines that the review of such report or other information is necessary to perform its express duties under this Escrow Agreement;

(j)    in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

(k)    whenever the Escrow Agent is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Escrow Agreement (including, but not limited to, in connection with any amendment of this Escrow Agreement), or is unsure as to the application, intent, interpretation or meaning of any provision of this Escrow Agreement or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent may give notice (in such form as will be appropriate under the circumstances) to Party A and Party B requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and, to the extent the Escrow Agent acts in good faith in accordance with any such joint instruction received, the Escrow Agent will not be liable on account of such action to any person. If the Escrow Agent shall not have received appropriate instructions within ten calendar days of sending such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action which is consistent, in its view, with this Escrow Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall have no liability to any person for any such action or inaction;

(l)    the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error in judgment or other action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines, subject to no further appeal, that the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to the other parties hereto;

(o)    the Escrow Agent shall have no liability under, shall not be required to comply with, and shall have no duty to inquire as to the provisions of, any agreement (including the Agreement) other than this Escrow Agreement, even though reference thereto may be made herein, or to comply with any direction or instruction from any person (other than those directions or instructions contained herein or delivered in accordance with this Escrow Agreement). The Escrow Agent shall not be required to inquire as to the performance or observation of any obligation, term or condition under any agreement or arrangement by Party A and Party B (including the Agreement). The Escrow Agent is not a party to, and is not bound by, any agreement or other document out of which this Escrow Agreement may arise. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to any party hereto by reason of any failure on the part of any other party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such

person's obligations under any such document. This Escrow Agreement shall not be deemed to create a fiduciary relationship between the parties hereto under state or federal law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to independently verify that any amounts delivered to it in accordance herewith constitute amounts delivered to it by or on behalf of any party to the Agreement;

(t)    the Escrow Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or pursuant to any written instruction delivered in accordance with the provisions hereof if the Escrow Agent shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Escrow Agent or is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law;

(u)    the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to funds held hereunder, without determination by the Escrow Agent of such court's jurisdiction in the matter.

Party A and Party B jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend, protect, save and hold the Escrow Agent (in its capacity as such and in its individual capacity), its officers, directors, agents, affiliates and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless against, any and all loss, liability, obligation, damage, claim, action, penalty, tax (excluding any taxes on the Escrow Agent on, or measured by, any compensation received by the Escrow Agent), cost or expense of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including the other parties hereto, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of this Escrow Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein (including but not limited to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit brought) by the Escrow Agent of any indemnification or other obligation), whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand, by Party A and Party B (such cost to be shared evenly by Party A and Party B). Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that an Indemnified Party acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence, Party A and Party B shall advance or reimburse, as applicable, any and all amounts due to such Indemnified Party pursuant to the foregoing indemnity, such amounts to be split evenly by Party A and Party B. The terms and provisions of this Section 9 will survive the termination and assignment of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agreement.

10.Fees. For the performance of its duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent will be paid by Party A and Party B (such fees and expenses to be shared jointly and severally by Party A and Party B) in accordance with that certain fee letter dated as of [ ], 2019, by and among the Escrow Agent and Party A and Party B, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Each of Party A and Party B shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with contesting any Claim.

11.Acknowledgment of Roles. Notwithstanding any statute or rule of law to the contrary, and absent gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (in each case as conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final order or verdict not subject to appeal) on the part of, Wells Fargo Bank, in serving in its capacity under this Escrow Agreement shall not constitute impermissible self-dealing or a conflict of interest, and the parties hereto hereby waive any conflict of interest presented by such service.
