ARTICLE II

LOAN ORIGINATION RIGHTS & OBLIGATIONS

Section 2.01 Loan Origination Obligations.

(a) Origination of Loans.

(i) Lender will fund newly originated Loans for the Program Dealers’ customers identified by Servicer that meet the Underwriting Criteria up to the following limits:

(1) A limit of [*****] Dollars ($[*****]) in aggregate outstanding principal balances at any time (the “Commitment Amount”). The Commitment Amount will be increased in accordance with this sub-Article.

(2) [*****].

(ii) If Servicer concludes that a potential Borrower meets the Underwriting Criteria, Servicer shall cause each Borrower of a Loan to execute a Loan Agreement, and other documentation as determined by the Parties, which shall include an interest rate, amount financed, loan term, estimated minimum payment amount, repayment schedule and other terms as set forth in Schedule B.

(b) Settlement Procedure.

No later than 12:00 noon (Eastern time) each Business Day, the (“Settlement Date”), Servicer, by written electronic transmission, shall provide Lender’s Relationship Manager or such officer’s designee with a report setting forth the calculation of the Settlement Amount and the payees thereof, which may be paid to a disbursement account from which further payments are to be made by Servicer to Program Dealers on behalf of Borrowers. The Settlement Amount shall be paid by Lender by wire transfer, ACH or direct deposit to an account designated in writing by an authorized officer of Servicer no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), unless Servicer is late in notifying Lender of the Settlement Amount due on the Settlement Date, in which case Lender shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to send the Settlement Amount within the time period set forth above or as soon thereafter as possible, but no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) of the next Business Day following such Lender’s receipt of notice from Servicer.

(ii) Servicer shall promptly notify Lender’s Relationship Manager or such officer’s designee by written electronic transmission if the Settlement Amount is not received when due.

(iii) Servicer shall instruct Borrowers to remit all payments on the Loans to the Lockbox or the GreenSky Program ACH Account, as applicable, and shall cause such payments to be transferred and posted to Lender’s Designated Account, in each case in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement. In the event that Servicer shall at any time receive any payment with respect to any Loan directly from a Borrower, Servicer shall immediately forward such amount to Lender’s Designated Account in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 2.02 Dispute over Settlement Amount.

(a) In the event Lender disputes the accuracy of the Settlement Amount reported by Servicer, Lender shall notify Servicer, but such notice shall not affect Lender’s obligation for timely payment of the Settlement Amount as noticed by Servicer to Lender, unless the Settlement Amount, together with all prior Settlement Amounts advanced by Lender, less payments received by Lender, will exceed the Commitment Amount. Payment of any Settlement Amount shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of the right to dispute the accuracy of such Settlement Amount, and any such dispute shall be resolved promptly.

(b) In the event it is determined that Lender was correct in disputing the accuracy of the Settlement Amount for a given day, Servicer shall promptly remit to Lender the overpayment amount due Lender with interest thereon computed at the Prime Rate in effect on the date the Settlement Amount was paid.

Section 2.03 Additional Documentation. If, in the reasonable judgment of a Party, in connection with the making of any Loan, any additional instrument, document, or certificate is required to further evidence such Loan or its ownership, validity, enforceability or compliance, the other Party shall execute or have executed and shall deliver promptly any such document.

Section 2.04 Portfolio Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Origination Agreement, Servicer may share any portfolio data associated with the Loans that does not contain nonpublic personal information, as that term is defined in the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, with potential and actual financing sources, Program Dealers, business partners, investors and professional advisors.

Section 2.05 Allocation of Loans. [*****].

Section 2.06 Improper Loans. Servicer shall immediately purchase without recourse any Loan found to be improperly (under the terms of this Origination Agreement, including but not limited to the representations made by Servicer in Sections 4.01(a)(vi) and Section 4.02(a)(x)), illegally (including for non-compliance with any Law) or fraudulently originated, for an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Loan.

Section 2.07 Intent of Parties. Servicer and Lender intend that the Loans shall at all times be the property of Lender and at no point shall Servicer have an ownership interest therein nor

shall Lender be deemed to be a lender to Servicer. To the extent, however, that Servicer is deemed to have an ownership interest therein, Servicer hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of its right, title and interest, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, in, to and under such Loans and the proceeds thereof to secure all obligations owed by Servicer to Lender under this Origination Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer and Lender agree that Servicer owns the customer relationships with the Borrowers established as a result of the Loans, provided, however, that the foregoing shall have no effect on any customer relationships between Lender and Borrower established independently of the Loan including, without limitation, for example, as a result of any existing banking or lending relationships between Lender and Borrower or a banking or lending relationship that arises after the effective date of this Agreement, whether or not solicited by Lender as part of a solicitation of Borrowers by Lender; provided, however, that Servicer also recognizes that Lender is subject to certain regulatory restrictions, including without limitation, the consumer confidentiality and other provisions ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, and Servicer shall at all times act in accordance therewith.

Section 2.08 Limitations on Solicitations and Marketing to Borrowers and Non-Interference with Lender’s Customer Relationships. Unless prohibited by Law, a Program Agreement or other agreement related to a Borrower, Servicer and Lender may solicit Borrowers for new products and services; provided that, Servicer is prohibited from soliciting, marketing or otherwise communicating with or encouraging any Borrower to refinance any Loan with anyone other than Lender and as specifically approved by Lender. Servicer also shall not interfere with the contractual or business relations between or among Lender and its customers, it being agreed that the solicitation of Borrowers for new products and services, including new loans that are not, to the Best of Servicer’s Knowledge, specifically for the purpose of refinancing a Loan, that may be furnished by others shall not violate the foregoing limitations.

Section 2.09 Books and Records. Servicer will maintain, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, true, complete and accurate accounting records related to its performance of the services provided to Lender pursuant to this Origination Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Servicer shall maintain such books and records for such period as is required by Servicer’s generally applicable internal record retention policies, but not less than seven years or two years after the repayment of the related Loan, whichever is longer. Lender’s accountant or a recognized independent accountant retained by Lender, to whom Servicer shall have no reasonable objection, shall have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice, to have access to such books and records for the purpose of determining the appropriateness of the calculation of the payments due under this Origination Agreement. Such examination shall be conducted during regular business hours and no more than once in each calendar year, unless Lender reasonably determines that a change in applicable law, or change in Servicer’s business practices or in its financial status requires a more frequent review.

Section 2.10 [*****].

Section 2.11 Continuous Review and Improvement. To maintain open lines of communication and to promote continuous improvement of the business relationship between

Servicer and Lender, Lender may convene formal business review meetings periodically at the location and time mutually designated by the Parties to review the status of the Parties’ business relationship. Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to improve continuously the economic and technical effectiveness of its services.

Section 2.12 Borrower Complaints and Borrower Satisfaction Surveys. “Complaints” shall mean any submission by a customer to Servicer or Lender concerning a Loan or experience that expresses substantive dissatisfaction related to a Loan, Lender or Servicer, or communicates suspicion of wrongful conduct by Lender or Servicer. Servicer shall maintain written complaint tracking procedures (the “Complaint Tracking Procedures”) to (i) monitor and analyze complaints received by Servicer or its Subcontractors and relating to the Loans; (ii) perform root cause analysis on Complaints received related to Servicer’s and its Subcontractors provision of services hereunder (“Servicer Complaints”); and (iii) identify appropriate corrective action for Servicer Complaints arising from, relating to, or caused by persistent and systemic issues. The Complaint Tracking Procedures shall also require Servicer to return calls to Borrowers making a Servicer Complaint within a reasonable time of Servicer’s receipt of such Servicer Complaint. Servicer’s failure to return calls within the prescribed time frame, if not for good reason shall constitute a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants in Articles IV and V of this Origination Agreement. Servicer shall provide to Lender’s Relationship Manager (i) the Complaint Tracking Procedures with respect to the Loans on an annual basis, and (ii) the results of the Complaint Tracking Procedures, including summaries of all complaints and the resolution/action(s) taken in regards to each complaint, on a monthly basis. At Lender’s sole expense and with Servicer’s consultation and reasonable cooperation, Lender shall have the option to conduct annual satisfaction surveys of current and former Borrowers. In the event that Lender reasonably determines, based on such satisfaction survey, that any feature, benefit, process, or other aspect of a Loan or any other service provided by Servicer to Lender should be modified or replaced, Lender shall so notify Servicer, and the Parties’ Relationship Managers shall negotiate in good faith a plan that satisfactorily addresses Lender’s concerns within a reasonable time period, and Servicer shall implement such plan as agreed by the Relationship Managers. If Lender receives any complaints from a Regulatory Agency related to the services provided by Servicer, Lender shall have the option to forward such complaint to Servicer for feedback and resolution. To ensure that these complaints are handled timely so that Lender can respond to the Regulatory Agency in the time required, Servicer shall provide responses to Lender within three (3) business days of the initial compliant being passed to Servicer by Lender.

Section 2.13 Subcontractors. Servicer agrees that if it employs Subcontractors pursuant to the terms of this Origination Agreement, Servicer will advise Lender accordingly and will ensure the compliance of all Subcontractors with the terms of this Origination Agreement (including but not limited to ensuring compliance by such Subcontractors with the confidentiality, audit, and insurance (at customary levels for a business of the nature of the Subcontractor) requirements set forth in this Origination Agreement).

ARTICLE III

REGULATORY PROVISIONS

Section 3.01 Acknowledgement. Servicer acknowledges and agrees that Lender is a banking entity and, therefore, is subject to the jurisdiction of federal, state, and local governmental entities and agencies with the power to regulate and oversee banking and related activities. Servicer acknowledges and agrees that in entering this Origination Agreement and Servicing Agreement with Lender, Servicer and Servicer’s Subcontractors who provide products or services pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Origination Agreement may be subjecting themselves to the jurisdiction of such regulators. In addition to the requirements of the Master Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement attached hereto as Schedule E and incorporated by reference herein governing confidentiality and safekeeping of confidential information, Servicer agrees to comply with the regulatory provisions applicable to it during the Term of this Origination Agreement.

Section 3.02 Regulatory Examination and Audit. Servicer acknowledges that Lender is subject to examination and audit by federal and state regulatory and banking agencies (collectively, the “Regulatory Agencies”). Servicer further acknowledges that such Regulatory Agencies may require access to, or may require Lender or Lender’s designee to access, Servicer’s or Servicer’s Subcontractors’ facilities, systems, databases, financial statements, books and records, policies, procedures, internal controls, training materials, audits, operational and security reviews, customer complaint tracking and related escalation and resolution logs and procedures, SSAE 16 reports, business continuity plan(s), disaster recovery plan(s), and/or confidential information (the “Audited Items”). Servicer will permit the Regulatory Agencies, Lender, or Lender’s designee to visit Servicer’s facilities and to access, test, review, and/or evaluate (collectively, “Audit”) the Audited Items at any time during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, if Lender is permitted to give such notice under applicable Laws. Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure for Lender the right to Audit Servicer’s Subcontractor(s) under the terms of this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Origination Agreement to the contrary, Servicer acknowledges and agrees that (i) Lender must comply with any such request from the Regulatory Agencies, and (ii) Lender is not responsible for any expenses associated with an Audit of Servicer or Servicer’s Subcontractors performed by a Regulatory Agency or its respective third-party representative. Servicer agrees to cooperate reasonably with respect to all such requests for access to the Audited Items and will provide Lender with such assistance in performing the Audit as Lender may reasonably request; provided, however, that, such Audit shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Servicer’s operations or cause a disruption to Servicer’s personnel. Should Servicer receive a request from the Regulatory Agencies or other governmental agencies to examine Servicer’s records pertaining to Lender or Lender’s customers, Servicer further agrees to notify Lender as soon as practicable of any such request, if Servicer is not prohibited by Law from doing so. Servicer’s and/or its Subcontractors’ failure to cooperate reasonably with all such Audits and/or requests for access to the Audited Items shall be deemed a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants in Articles IV and V of this Origination Agreement and shall be grounds for termination of this Origination Agreement.

Lender and Servicer agree to amend this Origination Agreement from time to time to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Laws and/or privacy and information security requirements and directives of regulators having jurisdiction over Lender. If, during or after the Audit, Lender reasonably determines that Servicer is not in compliance with this Origination Agreement, including the methods of internal controls established and implemented by Servicer or its Subcontractors, if any, with respect to understanding and compliance with all Laws, Lender will notify Servicer of such compliance concern, and the Parties’ Relationship Managers shall negotiate in good faith a plan that satisfactorily addresses Lender’s concerns within a reasonable time period, and Servicer shall implement such plan as agreed by the Relationship Managers. Servicer’s failure to implement the agreed plan shall be deemed a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of Articles IV and V of this Origination Agreement and shall be grounds for termination of this Origination Agreement.

Section 3.03 Continuity of Performance. As a banking entity, Lender is obligated to assure the safety, soundness, and continuity of certain essential daily functions. Servicer acknowledges that its or its Subcontractors’ performance of the obligations set forth on Schedule 3.03 attached hereto are critical to the systems, applications, software, hardware, products, and services which are, in Lender’s reasonable determination, necessary for Lender to carry out its daily operations (“Essential Daily Functions”) of Lender (including its Affiliates). Lender will update Schedule 3.03 as necessary which update will be binding upon Servicer upon 30 days’ prior written notice. Accordingly, any provisions to the contrary contained in this Origination Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties notwithstanding, Servicer shall not interrupt or cease providing such services to the extent the same are necessary to Lender’s Essential Daily Functions, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion and as Lender notifies Servicer, whether or not based on any asserted breach of this Origination Agreement by Lender. Further, any provisions to the contrary contained in this Origination Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties notwithstanding, Servicer shall have no right to, and shall not seek or obtain an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief that in any way would limit Lender’s right to use the services which are necessary for such Essential Daily Functions or which are required to be maintained by Lender to comply with applicable Laws. Servicer acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s remedies for breach of this Origination Agreement relating to the provision of Essential Daily Functions shall be limited to (a) equitable relief that does not have the effect of interrupting such functions, or (b) monetary damages. Servicer acknowledges that it has waived its right to seek equitable relief that will interrupt such Essential Daily Functions and agrees not to seek any such equitable relief. If the services

provided by Servicer are necessary for the Essential Daily Functions of Lender, Servicer assumes an independent obligation to continue performance of its obligations hereunder related to the Essential Daily Functions regardless of any dispute (including a non-monetary material breach by Lender) which may arise between Lender and Servicer. Such independent obligation of Servicer shall continue until final resolution of the dispute, provided that during such period Lender timely fulfills all its obligations under this Origination Agreement or Servicing Agreement with respect to which there is no good faith dispute, including any undisputed financial obligations of Lender. Servicer undertakes this independent obligation without prejudice to any rights or remedies it may otherwise have in connection with any dispute between Servicer and Lender. Lender agrees that it shall take all

commercially reasonable efforts to transition the obligations under this Agreement to a new provider promptly, at Servicer’s request, if Servicer’s performance is continuing solely pursuant to this Section.

Section 3.04 Business Continuity. Servicer acknowledges and agrees that Lender is required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over Lender to assure that its vendors have in place adequate business continuity plans to assure the safety, soundness, and continuity of its Essential Daily Functions, as determined by Lender in its discretion. If Servicer is providing services critical to any such Essential Daily Functions, then Servicer represents and warrants that prior to the execution of this Origination Agreement it provided Lender with a copy and/or summary of its business continuity plan addressing the continuance of Servicer’s business in the event of a disaster or other material interruption of Servicer’s business. Servicer further represents and warrants that Servicer will have in place and will provide to Lender upon Lender’s reasonable request, or any time a material change is made to, but in no event not less than annually, a copy of Servicer’s business continuity plan that conforms to Industry Practices to the effect that Servicer’s performance of this Origination Agreement and the Servicing Agreement shall continue with no more than minimal interruption in the event of a disaster, casualty, and/or any other contingency contemplated by such business continuity plan. Servicer’s business continuity plan shall identify Servicer’s key Subcontractors, if any, and shall account for temporary and permanent failures by those Subcontractors. Servicer agrees to the following: (i) Lender may Audit Servicer’s business continuity plans; (ii) upon Lender’s reasonable request, Servicer shall make available to Lender for the purpose of responding to questions concerning Servicer’s business continuity plan, one or more Servicer representatives who are knowledgeable about Servicer’s business continuity plan, the manner in which it is tested, and the manner in which it would be implemented in the event of a disaster or other material interruption of Servicer’s businesses; and (iii) Servicer shall provide to Lender upon Lender’s reasonable request, the results of its most recent business continuity plan test within thirty (30) days following Lender’s request. Servicer shall use its best efforts to resume performance under this Origination Agreement as soon as possible after any disaster or other material interruption of Servicer’s business; provided, that no such disaster, casualty, or other contingency shall operate to limit, diminish, abrogate, or delay the exercise of any rights or remedies of Lender in the event of any failure of Servicer to perform this Origination Agreement in accordance with the terms, provisions, and conditions hereof. Servicer’s failure to maintain in place and periodically test a business continuity plan that meets the requirements set forth in this Section 3.04 shall constitute a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of Articles IV and V of this Origination Agreement.

Section 3.05 Disaster Recovery. Servicer acknowledges and agrees that Lender is required by Regulatory Agencies having jurisdiction over Lender to assure that its vendors have in place adequate disaster recovery plans to assure the safety, soundness, and continuity of certain Essential Daily Functions, as determined by Lender in its discretion. If Servicer is providing services critical to any such Essential Daily Functions, then Servicer represents and warrants that Servicer will have in place and will provide to Lender upon Lender’s reasonable request, or any time a material change is made to, but in no event not less than annually, a copy of Servicer’s disaster recovery plan that conforms to Industry Practices. Servicer’s disaster recovery plan shall:

(i) address functions and operations of the services used by Lender; (ii) specify recovery time frames for functions and operations used by Lender; (iii) provide that the disaster recovery plan shall be tested and updated in accordance with Industry Practices; and (iv) provide that the disaster recovery plan be regularly updated to the extent necessary to correct deficiencies therewith or to remain consistent with Industry Practices, at Servicer’s cost.

Servicer shall use its best efforts to resume performance under this Origination Agreement as soon as possible after any disaster or other material interruption of Servicer’s business; provided, that no such disaster, casualty, or other contingency shall operate to limit, diminish, abrogate, or delay the exercise of any rights or remedies of Lender in the event of any failure of Servicer to perform this Origination Agreement in accordance with the terms, provisions, and conditions hereof. Servicer will review any comments and suggestions presented by Lender with respect to Servicer’s disaster recovery plan and take commercially reasonable steps to implement such comments and suggestions. Upon Lender’s request, Servicer will also (A) review Lender’s disaster recovery plan, (B) prepare recovery procedures for each service that will be recovered (if such procedures are not already part of Lender’s disaster recovery plan) and (C) at Lender’s request, participate in Lender’s recovery tests.

Section 3.06 Specially Designated National; Foreign-Based Service Providers. Servicer represents and warrants that, in performing its obligations under this Origination Agreement, (i) it will not employ or subcontract with any person who is a “Specially Designated National” as defined from time to time in regulations issued by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the United States Department of the Treasury; and (ii) Servicer is not a Specially Designated National. Servicer shall not utilize any foreign-based third party service providers or Affiliates as Subcontractors during the term of this Origination Agreement to provide services to Lender without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender’s Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) or the CISO’s designee after full disclosure of the location and background of such foreign-based third party service providers or Affiliates. Servicer’s request to Lender’s CISO or the CISO’s designee for approval of a foreign-based third party service provider or an Affiliate to act as a Subcontractor under the terms of this Origination Agreement shall include no less than the Subcontractor’s name, physical address, telephone number, contact person’s name and email address, and the services to be provided.

Section 3.07. Identity Theft. Pursuant to Section 114 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (“FACT Act”), Lender is required to take steps to ensure that the activities of its service providers and/or its service providers’ Subcontractors are conducted in accordance with reasonable policies and procedures designed to detect, prevent, and mitigate the risk of identity theft. To the extent applicable, Servicer represents and warrants that it and/or Servicer’s Subcontractor(s) has/have developed and implemented written policies and procedures

as required by Section 114 of the FACT Act to detect, prevent, and mitigate the risk of identity theft in connection with its provision of services and that these policies and procedures are reviewed periodically and updated as necessary. Servicer further represents and warrants that a component of its and/or Servicer’s Subcontractors’ program is to identify red flags indicative of possible identity theft. If Servicer and/or its Subcontractors identify a red flag indicative of identity theft with respect to a Loan funded by Lender that cannot be cleared pursuant to the written policies and procedures of Servicer, Servicer and/or its Subcontractors promptly will report the red flag to Lender’s Relationship Manager and take all other appropriate steps to prevent or mitigate identity theft.

Section 4.02 Representations and Warranties of Servicer Relating to the Origination Agreement and the Loans.

(a) Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof and as of each Settlement Date, Servicer hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with Lender that:

(i) Enforceability. This Origination Agreement, the Program Agreements and any Origination Papers each constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Servicer enforceable against Servicer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable conservatorship, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity.

(ii) No Amendment. The Program Agreements are in full force and effect and have not been modified or amended in any way that would materially adversely affect the Loans as contemplated in the Program Agreement prior to the modification or amendment, the ability of Servicer or Lender to perform their respective obligations under this Origination Agreement or the Origination Papers, the rights of Lender under this Origination Agreement or the Origination Papers or the transactions contemplated hereunder in general.

(iii) No Defaults. There are no Defaults under this Origination Agreement, the Servicing Agreement or, To the Best of Servicer’s Knowledge, the Program Agreements.

(iv) Ownership. Upon the funding of a Loan, Lender shall have full right, title and interest in each such Loan free and clear of all Liens or other encumbrances other than those imposed as a result of Lender’s own actions.

(v) Compliance with Law. Each Loan and the actions of Servicer comply with all Laws, rules and regulations applicable thereto, including, without limitation, laws, rules, regulations related to truth in lending, fair credit reporting, usury, equal credit opportunity, fair credit collection practices, privacy, data security, Office of Foreign Assets Control, and unfair, deceptive and abusive acts and practices and the Loans were originated, made, and are at all times being serviced substantially in accordance with those customary origination, servicing and collection practices of prudent lending institutions that originate, make, and/or service loans of the same type as the Loans.

(vi) Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by Servicer in connection with the origination of Loans as contemplated hereby have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.

(vii) Grant of Security Interest. If this Origination Agreement does not create a valid ownership interest in Lender of the Loans, it constitutes a grant of a “security interest” (as defined in the UCC) in such property to Lender to secure all obligations owed by Servicer to Lender under this Origination Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, which is enforceable upon execution and delivery of this Origination Agreement. Upon the filing of an appropriate financing statement, Lender shall have a first priority perfected security or ownership interest in such property. Servicer agrees to cooperate in filing financing statements.

(viii) No Prior Sale. There has been no prior sale, assignment or hypothecation of the Loans to any other Person by Servicer, nor is there an agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

(ix) Accuracy of Information. All information and documentation relating to the Borrowers and the Loans submitted to Lender by Servicer pursuant to this Origination Agreement is true and correct in all material respects and accurately reflects the status of each Loan and the indebtedness to which such documentation relates; provided that, Servicer makes no representation or warranty with regard to information furnished to it by a Borrower other than pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(x) below. Servicer shall notify Lender promptly in the event Servicer becomes aware of any material inaccuracy with respect to information provided in connection with originating the Loans, other than inaccuracies with respect to individual Loans as are customary in the loan origination business.

(x) Investigation. Servicer has reviewed all of the documents contained in the Loan files and has made customary inquiries to confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth therein.

(xi) No Fraud. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to any Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation any Borrower or any third party involved in the origination or making of any Loan; provided that, Servicer makes no representation or warranty with regard to information furnished to it by a Borrower other than pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(x) above.

(xii) Underwriting Criteria. Based upon the investigation referred to in Section 4.02(a)(x) above, Servicer has concluded that all Loans are compliant with the Underwriting Criteria in all aspects.

(xiii) Anti-Money Laundering. In originating the Loans, Servicer has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001, as amended, and any similar applicable Laws (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer has established an anti-money laundering compliance program and has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the origination of the Loans for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Servicer maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to evidence such actions and identify the applicable Borrowers for purpose of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Servicer has compared the names of

each Borrower to the publicly available list maintained by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (the “OFAC List”) of prohibited persons, entities, or prohibited or restricted jurisdictions and confirmed that there is no match.

(xiv) Reasonable Steps. With respect to each individual employed by Servicer to perform services for Lender, Servicer has taken all commercially reasonable steps: (a) to ensure that such individual has not been convicted of any felony or aggravated misdemeanor and has not been banned from the business of banking; (b) to verify that such individual, if performing services in the United States, is eligible to work in the United States in accordance with all applicable laws; and (c) to ensure that such individual is not on any OFAC List. Servicer has taken all commercially reasonable steps to ensure that no entity to which Servicer subcontracts any work under this Origination Agreement or the Servicing Agreement is on the OFAC List. Neither Servicer, nor any of its owners (including without limitation its shareholders, partners and members, as applicable), is on the OFAC List. Servicer has conducted background checks of each of its personnel who will provide services to Lender under this Origination Agreement or who will have access to any of Lender’s confidential information or intellectual property. Each background check shall be reduced to writing and will be verified by Servicer as having been completed upon request by Lender, or by applicable governmental authority, upon reasonable notice. Servicer further represents and warrants that it shall use reasonable efforts to require all of its Subcontractors who will have access to any of Lender’s confidential information or intellectual property to conduct background checks of each of its personnel, consisting of no less than the minimum standards enumerated within this provision. Servicer’s or Servicer’s Subcontractors’ failure to conduct background checks as set forth in this Section 4.02(a)(xiv) constitutes a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of Articles IV and V of this Origination Agreement and a material breach of the Servicing Agreement.

(xv) No Set-off. The Loans are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Loans, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render any Loan unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense.

(xvi) Loan Documents. The promissory notes and agreements evidencing the Loans are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to the effect and application of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws now or hereinafter in effect which relate to or limit creditors’ rights generally or the effect and application of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at Law; provided however, that the foregoing is not a representation with respect to the collectability of the Loans.

(xvii) Acceptable Investment. To the Best of Servicer’s Knowledge, there are no circumstances or conditions with respect to any Loan or any Borrower that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard any Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Loan to become delinquent or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Loan.

(xviii) Documentation. The loan files for the Loans contain all promissory notes and agreements evidencing the Loans, all underwriting documents, all collection notes and all required disclosures. Servicer warrants that it shall use its best efforts to prevent the loss or alteration of Lender’s files, information, documents, lists, records, or any other confidential information accessed or retained by Servicer and shall be liable to Lender in the event of any loss or alteration resulting from the actions or omissions of Servicer, its agents, personnel, independent contractors, or Subcontractors.

(xix) Prohibition Against Unfair, Deceptive or Abusive Acts or Practices. Lender is committed to treating prospective and existing customers in a manner that is equitable, transparent, and consistent with consumer protection laws and regulations, including laws and regulations that prohibit unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices, including, but not limited to those contained in Sections 1031 and 1036 of ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇. (“UDAAP”). Servicer represents and warrants that it has sufficient controls in place to comply with UDAAP in the provision of services to Lender under this Origination Agreement and to prohibit Servicer’s and, if relevant, its Subcontractors’ personnel from engaging in unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices as it relates to Borrowers. In accordance therewith, Servicer agrees to provide Lender, upon reasonable request, with:

(A)

a certification that Servicer’s personnel have completed UDAAP training;

(B)

a certification that Servicer’s and, if relevant, its Subcontractors’, direct customer-facing personnel’s contact with Borrowers is subject to quality assurance review to ensure compliance with all applicable Laws;

(C)

upon Lender’s request: (1) Servicer’s Complaint Tracking Procedures in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.12 above; and (B) the results of the Complaint Tracking Procedures in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.12 above;

(D)

documentation of tracking and monitoring of exceptions to Servicer’s Complaint Tracking Procedures, policies, and processes, and documentation of corrective actions taken by Servicer if high levels of exceptions are made, as reasonably determined by Lender;

(E)

documentation of follow-up actions performed by Servicer to ensure the recommended corrective actions are implemented;

(F)

subject to Servicer’s customary retention policies, recordings of customer support calls made to or received from Borrowers; and

(G)

all marketing and advertising materials, including promotional materials and marketing scripts including, but not limited to, ensuring representations and statements in such materials are factually supported in compliance with

all UDAAP requirements, including but not limited to, ensuring materials have a reasonable factual basis for all representations.

(b) Notice of Breach. Upon discovery by either Servicer or Lender of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.02, the Party discovering such breach shall give written notice to the other Party within three (3) Business Days following such discovery; provided that the failure to give notice within three (3) Business Days does not preclude subsequent notice and will not affect the rights, duties or liabilities of the Parties.

(iv) Litigation. There is no claim, or any litigation, suit, action, proceeding, arbitration, investigation or controversy pending, to which Lender is a party and by which it is bound, that reasonably would be expected to materially adversely affect Lender’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and, To the Best of Lender’s Knowledge, no such claim,

ARTICLE V COVENANTS

Section 5.01 Covenants of Servicer and Lender.

(a) Covenants of Servicer. Servicer hereby covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:

(i) Ownership Interests. Lender is the maker and owner of all Loans. Servicer has no ownership rights in any Loan. Servicer will not make any representation to any Borrower to the contrary. Servicer will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any Person other than Lender, or take any other action inconsistent with Lender’s ownership of the Loans, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Loan, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein. Servicer shall not claim any ownership interest in the Loans and shall defend the ownership, right, title and interest of Lender in, to and under the Loans, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of any third party.

(ii) Notice of Liens. Servicer shall notify Lender promptly after becoming aware of any Lien on any Loan and any alleged ownership interest in any Loan by any third party.

(iii) Documentation of Transfer. Lender may file such documents (at the expense of Lender) as may be necessary to transfer or perfect and maintain the perfection of the transfer of the Loans to Lender, and Servicer shall cooperate with Lender in any such filing. Servicer hereby authorizes and ratifies all such filings.

(v) Compliance Testing. Servicer agrees to make available its facilities, personnel and records when reasonably requested by Lender to enable Lender or its Auditors to review and Audit the Loans and related files and Servicer’s procedures with respect to its origination and servicing of Loans. Servicer agrees to correct any material deficiencies noted during these Audits within thirty (30) days of such notice. Lender’s decision not to exercise its right to Audit Servicer pursuant to this Section shall not act as a waiver of any of this rights or remedies under this Origination Agreement.

(vi) Amendment to Program Agreements. Without the consent and approval of Lender, Servicer will not amend any of the Program Agreements if such amendment would cause the Loans generated thereunder to cease meeting the Underwriting Criteria or would otherwise adversely

affect Lender in any material respect. In addition, Servicer shall advise Lender at least 7 days in advance of any changes to the Program Agreements that reasonably could be expected to alter the performance of the Loans under the Program Agreements and shall reasonably consider any comments Lender may have to such changes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the limited circumstances described in Sections 6.03, 6.04, 6.05 and 6.06, the provisions of Section 6.03, 6.04, 6.05 or 6.06, including the notice and cure periods contemplated therein, shall apply.

Section 6.05 Regulatory Termination Event.

In the event Lender receives a binding and valid cease and desist order or other Order from a Governmental Authority preventing it from lawfully funding and originating Loans under this Origination Agreement, the cure periods set forth above in this Section 6.05 will not apply, and Lender may immediately cease its originating and funding Loans under this Origination Agreement.

Section 6.06 [*****].

Section 6.07 Force Majeure.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Origination Agreement, if either Party is prevented, hindered or delayed in the performance or observance of any of its obligations under this Origination Agreement by reason of any circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to fire, flood, earthquake, extraordinary weather conditions not reasonably foreseeable by the Party, riots, civil disorders, rebellions, or revolutions in any country (“Force Majeure”), that Party will be excused from any further performance or observance of the obligations so affected for as long as such Force Majeure circumstances prevail, provided that Party continues to use all commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay (including compliance with applicable business continuity plans and disaster recovery plans). The Parties acknowledge and agree that Force Majeure specifically excludes strikes, work stoppages, labor shortages, etc. by Servicer’s employees. The Party affected by a Force Majeure event will advise the other Party in reasonable detail of the event (including the estimated duration of the event) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within four business hours after occurrence of the event) and keep the other Party reasonably apprised of progress in resolving the event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Force Majeure event shall excuse Servicer from implementing any business continuity plans or disaster recovery plans required by this Origination Agreement.

(b) If Servicer is providing services that are necessary to Lender’s Essential Daily Functions, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, and provision of such services is interrupted due to a Force Majeure condition, the following provisions shall apply. If Servicer cannot promptly provide a suitable temporary substitute for any such service interrupted or delayed by a Force Majeure condition reasonably anticipated to last more than five (5) business days in the case of a delay and more than forty-eight (48) hours in the case of an interruption, Lender may, at

Lender’s option, obtain substitute services from another vendor on a temporary basis (the “Substitute Service”), provided that (i) Lender shall notify Servicer in writing as soon as practicably possible of any Substitute Service, and (ii) Lender shall purchase or subscribe to such Substitute Service for the minimum commercially available quantities or period that would cover the reasonably expected duration of the Force Majeure condition based upon Servicer’s good faith estimate thereof. Servicer’s obligation to provide the affected service shall be suspended for such period or during the period that Lender is subject to a Substitute Contractual Obligation (as defined hereafter), and such obligation shall resume upon the later of the termination or expiration of Lender’s Substitute Contractual Obligation with third parties for a Substitute or the cessation of the Force Majeure condition. As used herein, “Substitute Contractual Obligation” shall mean an obligation under any contract to obtain or purchase a Substitute Service in the minimum commercially reasonable quantities or for the minimum commercially reasonable period to address the Force Majeure event. For avoidance of doubt, it is specifically understood and agreed that Lender may honor such Substitute Contractual Obligation and will not be required to take any action to avoid or terminate the Substitute Contractual Obligation that would result in Lender’s incurring any penalty, termination charge, or any similar cost or expense of any nature, however characterized. Subject to any such Substitute Contractual Obligation, Lender shall resume use of the affected services promptly upon the cessation of the Force Majeure condition. In the event of a Force Majeure condition that requires Lender to obtain Substitute Services: (i) Servicer shall not charge Lender for any services that are not provided as a result of a delay or interruption excused as a Force Majeure condition during the period of such delay or interruption; and (ii) Servicer shall not charge Lender any reactivation, reinstallation, or reconnection charge to resume use of the restored services.

Servicer may exercise the Optional Purchase at any time ninety (90) days after the date of the applicable triggering event by delivery of the purchase price to Lender, otherwise, such Optional Purchase right shall expire as of the ninetieth day after the date of such triggering event.

Section 6.09 Transition Assistance. Upon termination of this Origination Agreement, Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Lender to obtain (on a non-exclusive basis) any services then being performed by Servicer or its vendors or Subcontractors to fulfill its obligations under this Origination Agreement.
