ARTICLE I.
ENGAGEMENT OF SERVICER TO PERFORM SERVICING

Section 2.01. Contract for Servicing; Possession of Servicing Files.

(a) From and after the Effective Date and until the earlier of: (i) such date as such Loans become a Liquidated Loan; or (ii) this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7.01, Indenture Trustee appoints and contracts with Servicer as an independent contractor, subject to the terms of this Agreement, for the servicing of such Loan and the related Borrower Payment Dependent Notes. Servicer is the owner of the Servicing Rights relating to each Loan serviced by Servicer hereunder, subject to Indenture Trustee’s rights hereunder with respect to such Servicing Rights in the event of Servicer’s default hereunder.

(b) Servicer shall establish and maintain a Servicing File with respect to each Loan and Borrower Payment Dependent Note in order to service such Loan and Borrower Payment Dependent Note pursuant to this Agreement. Ownership of such Servicing File shall vest in Indenture Trustee, and the Servicing File shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by Servicer in a custodial capacity only; provided, however, that Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that Servicer will retain electronic copies of: (i) the Loan Documents for such Loan as well as (ii) any other items, documents, data or information that comprise such Servicing File; provided, further, that subject to Article VI, Servicer will retain the right (A) to use and permit its Affiliates to use the same in the performance of its obligations hereunder and in the conduct of its and its Affiliates’ businesses generally (subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement), including, without limitation, to facilitate the acquisition and sale of consumer loans to persons other than Indenture Trustee, and to fulfill the reporting obligations of Servicer and its Affiliates with respect to any such sales, and (B) to use, deliver or release copies of any such data, information or documents, and permit its Affiliates to use, deliver or release copies thereof, to its or their accountants, counsel or advisors, to regulators or other Regulatory Authorities of competent jurisdiction, or to other Persons to the extent necessary and appropriate to respond to subpoenas or other appropriate demands therefor in connection with any action, proceeding, arbitration or investigation in any forum of or before any Regulatory Authority. Servicer shall mark its records to reflect ownership of the Loans and Borrower Payment Dependent Notes by Indenture Trustee. Except as permitted under this Section 2.01(b), Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only to Indenture Trustee or such other Persons as Indenture Trustee may authorize.

(c) If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively “Errors”) exist in any materials delivered to Servicer by the prior servicer of the Loans and Borrower Payment Dependent Notes which cause Servicer to make or continue any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), Servicer shall have no liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that Servicer, agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent Continued Errors. In the event that Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data and to prevent future Continued Errors. Servicer shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs thereby expended.

(a) Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer each Loan from and after the Effective Date with reasonable care using that degree of skill and attention that is (i) deemed commercially reasonable in the unsecured consumer loan servicing industry and (ii) no less than the degree of skill and attention that it uses in relation to its servicing and administration of unsecured consumer loans for the account of its Affiliates or its or their other customers, clients, assigns and transferees, and, in all cases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Accepted Servicing Practices and Applicable Laws (such standard of care being, the “Servicing Standard”), and Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through the utilization of Subcontractors, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration as limited by the Servicing Standard.

(b) Servicer may grant, permit or enter into any Loan Modification for any Loan, provided, that such Loan Modification (i) is in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) is determined by Servicer at the time of such modification to be a practical manner to obtain a reasonable recovery from such Loan based upon its prior servicing experience for similar unsecured consumer loans.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and Indenture Trustee, all notices or instruments of satisfaction, cancellation or termination, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Loans and Borrower Payment Dependent Notes; provided, however, that Servicer shall not be entitled to release, discharge, terminate or cancel any Loan or the related Loan Documents unless (i) Servicer shall have received payment in full of all principal, interest and fees owed by the Borrower related thereto, or (ii) in the case of a Delinquent Loan, Servicer accepts a short pay or reduced payment of full principal, interest and fees owed on such Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If reasonably required by Servicer, Indenture Trustee shall furnish Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and Servicer shall indemnify and hold Indenture Trustee harmless for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by Indenture Trustee in connection with any use of such power of attorney by Servicer or its agents in breach of this Agreement.

Indenture Trustee shall remit payment to the holders of Borrower Payment Dependent Notes with respect to the Borrower Payment Dependent Notes and Servicer shall have no liability with respect to such payments. Any reporting regarding payments made with respect to the Borrower Payment Dependent Notes shall be made by Indenture Trustee.

Section 3.02. Collection and Liquidation of Loans.

(a) Collection of Payments. Continuously from the Effective Date until the date each Loan becomes a Liquidated Loan or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all Monthly Payments and any other payments due under each of the Loans when the same shall become due and payable.

(b) Loss Mitigation. With respect to any Loan, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to realize upon Loans in such a manner that reasonably attempts to maximize the receipt of principal and interest, including pursuing any Loan Modification pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or pursuing other loss mitigation or other default recovery actions in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(c) Charged Off Loans and Delinquent Loans. Promptly following any Loan becoming a Charged Off Loan, Servicer shall charge off that Loan (such date, a “Charge Off Date”). Subject to the Servicing Standard, Servicer may transfer the servicing and collection activities for any Delinquent Loan or Charged Off Loan to a Collection Agent, and Servicer shall be relieved of its ongoing servicing and collection obligations hereunder with respect to such Loan (however, if and when all past due amounts are received with respect to any Delinquent Loan, Servicer shall resume its servicing and collection obligations with respect to such Loan), except as to the obligation to handle all Proceeds of such Loans in accordance with Section 3.02(d) below. To the extent Servicer receives information from a Collection Agent regarding any Charged Off Loans or Delinquent Loans, Servicer shall include such information in the reports regarding the Loans that are required to be delivered under this Agreement. Neither Servicer nor any Collection Agent shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Charged Off Loan without the prior written consent of Indenture Trustee except as specifically permitted under this Section 3.02(c).

(d) Recovery of Charged Off Loans and Bankruptcy Loans. With respect to any Charged Off Loan or Bankruptcy Loan, Servicer and the applicable Collection Agents shall be permitted to accept a payment from the related Borrower of an amount less than outstanding principal balance of such Loan in final satisfaction of such Loan; provided, that (i) such Borrower is unable to pay or settle for the outstanding principal balance of such Loan in full, as reasonably determined by Servicer or the applicable Collection Agent and (ii) Servicer shall (and shall cause the applicable Collection Agent to) review any such partial payment agreement every 90 days in order to re-evaluate the Borrower’s financial position and ability to pay the principal balance in full and may reduce or increase any such partial payment agreement.
