Article II

Administration and Servicing of Loans

 

Section 2.01. Servicing.

 

(a) Servicer, an independent contractor, is hereby appointed by Lender to act as its agent to service, administer and collect all Loans substantially in accordance with the common servicing standards established for the GreenSky® Program as provided herein, and otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender in and under the Loans and to take such other actions as the agent of Lender and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Servicer accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof at all times until the earlier of the termination of this Servicing Agreement pursuant to Section 4.01 or upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer in accordance with Section 4.03. Servicer will make Collections on the Loans in accordance with the procedures set forth on Schedule B. Servicer agrees and acknowledges that it is responsible on an ongoing basis for the acts and omissions of any subcontractor performing any services on behalf of Servicer for Lender or in connection with the Loans.

 

(b) Servicer agrees to service the Loans in accordance with the specific requirements set forth in this Servicing Agreement, the common servicing standards established for the GreenSky® Program and the Accepted Servicing Practices (such standard, the “Servicing Standard”). Servicer’s duties shall include, but not be limited to, account opening, credit reporting, transaction processing, statement generation, reporting, billing of the Loans, loan repayment disbursements, management, administration, marketing, collection, customer service and consumer complaint identification, monitoring and resolution, in accordance, where applicable, with (i) the criteria established and adopted by Lender and set forth in this Servicing Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, and on Schedule A annexed hereto, including the service level commitments and performance standards specified in Schedule D and Schedule E, and (ii) the terms of the Origination Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, and any schedules thereto (“Servicing”). For the sake of clarity, Servicing shall include, but not be limited to, servicing of the Loans as provided herein, including but not limited to documentation fulfillment (boarding), communication mailings, Borrower customer service and responding to inquiries of Borrowers related to the Loans, payment posting, loan payoffs processing, collections of the Loans, reporting any required tax information to Borrowers, including, without limitation, tax information reporting on IRS Form 1098-E and IRS Form 1099-C to Borrowers, as applicable, and the Internal Revenue Service, bankruptcy case management, and providing notices of adverse action as required on potential Borrower applications that are denied. Servicer shall provide Privacy Notices of Lender to Borrowers as applicable. Servicer further agrees to provide other services as Lender and Servicer determine are reasonable and customary in connection with the servicing of the Loans, as provided for herein. Servicer will maintain complete and accurate records related to Servicing and provide

-13-

the reports to Lender as specified herein or as otherwise agreed to. All of the foregoing are included in the definition of “Servicing.”

 

(c) Servicer agrees to deliver to Lender the Servicing Reports in accordance with Schedule A and as otherwise agreed by Lender and Servicer.

 

(d) To the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard and as agent for Lender, and in Lender’s name, Servicer shall have authority to do all things on behalf of Lender in connection with Servicing that are reasonably necessary or desirable. Such authority includes, without limitation, filing chargebacks with the applicable payment card network, enforcing contractual rights to reimbursement or refunds from Program Merchants and Sponsors, and crediting Borrower(s) accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until a Loan is ninety (90) or more calendar days past due, and thereafter until Lender has been compensated for the related Portfolio Credit Loss, Servicer shall not, without the prior written approval of Lender, (i) modify the material terms of the Loans, including, but not limited to, interest rate and maturity date, (ii) waive Borrower payment delinquencies, (iii) outsource collection of any Loan to a third party, except as permitted in Schedule B or to a Subsidiary of Servicer or (iv) take formal action or institute a Proceeding with respect to a Loan, it being acknowledged that Servicer may, without the prior written approval of Lender, take such actions set forth in (i) and (ii) above with respect to a Loan that is ninety (90) or more calendar days past due after Lender has been compensated for the related Portfolio Credit Loss. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent legal title of a Loan has been effectively transferred out of Lender’s name pursuant to the terms of this Servicing Agreement, Servicer’s actions with respect to such Loan shall (i) no longer be governed by this Servicing Agreement and (ii) not be restricted.

 

(i) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, for Lender’s benefit, Lender authorizes Servicer to settle all Borrower complaints and disputes on behalf of, and in the name of, Lender, provided that any individual settlement (a) does not involve a total amount (principal, Billed but unpaid interest, finance charges, and fees) of more than $20,000.00 and (b) does not involve a signed release from further liability of the Borrower or admission of liability of Lender or Servicer as agent of Lender. In the event that any such settlement amount would exceed $20,000.00 or require any such release or admission, Servicer will obtain advance settlement authority from Lender. Regardless of settlement amount, all settlement agreements and releases with respect to Loans for which Lender holds legal title shall require the prior written consent of Lender and shall be documented using settlement and release agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

 

(ii) Servicer and Lender agree that Servicer’s modification of the terms of a Loan, waiver of Borrower payment delinquencies pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) or other settlement shall have no effect upon the treatment of the Outstanding Balance of such Loan as a Portfolio Credit Loss.

(e) (i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer, on behalf of and as agent of Lender, agrees to: (A) timely invoice each Borrower for all payments required to be paid by such Borrower in a manner that is consistent with the Servicing Standard, (B) direct each Borrower to remit such payments by making an ACH Payment or other form of payment in accordance with Section 2.01(e)(ii), and (C) maintain with respect to each Loan, complete and accurate records in a manner that is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

(ii) Servicer shall instruct Borrowers to make all payments on the Loans as follows: (A) to the extent such payments are made by wire transfer, ACH or direct deposit, to the GreenSky® Program ACH Account, and Servicer shall cause such amounts to be swept daily to the GreenSky® Program Payment Clearing Account and to be transferred and posted daily on the same Business Day (if received on a Business Day, but otherwise on the next Business Day) to the SunTrust DDA Account, and (B) to the extent such payments are made by check, cash or other means, to the Lockbox, and Servicer shall cause such amounts to be swept and posted daily to the SunTrust DDA Account on the same Business Day (if received on a Business Day, but otherwise on the next Business Day) as such amounts are received in the Lockbox. In the event that Servicer shall at any time receive any payment with respect to any Loan directly from a Borrower, Servicer shall deposit such amount on the subsequent Business Day after receipt into the SunTrust DDA Account in the same form as received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amounts that are received in the Lockbox or the GreenSky® Program ACH Account or that are received directly by Servicer are not accompanied by a payment coupon or otherwise are unidentifiable, Servicer may initially deposit such amounts in the GreenSky® Program Payment Clearing Account and shall forward such amounts, or direct such amounts to be forwarded (as applicable), to the SunTrust DDA Account in the same form received as soon thereafter as practicable after they are identified as being attributable to a Loan. All payments received by Servicer from a Borrower are received on behalf of Lender for immediate credit to Borrower’s loan account.

 

(iii) Servicer shall remedy any cash management errors in a timely manner and give notice to Lender of same.

 

(f) (i) Lender shall own and have reasonable access to all Borrower records maintained by Servicer including, but not limited to, the Loan Files, at such time and in such commercially reasonable manner as shall be requested by Lender and may market other products and services to the Borrowers as permitted by Applicable Law and the terms of the GreenSky® Program but subject to the limitations imposed by the Program Agreements and the Privacy Policy. Servicer may utilize such records for the purposes of marketing other non-depository products and services to the Borrowers as permitted by Applicable Law and the terms of the GreenSky® Program but subject to the limitations imposed by the Program Agreements as advised to Lender by Servicer and the Privacy Policy as advised to Servicer by Lender. Lender will share information with Servicer for such purposes based on the affirmative written authorization of the Borrower to Lender to share nonpublic financial information with Servicer in accordance with

-15-

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL APPEARING IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [*****] HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED

 

the restrictions set forth in the Privacy Policy and such authorization must be in a form reviewed and approved by Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Servicer shall neither (i) market products and services to Borrowers in the context of a refinancing of an existing Loan nor (ii) use Lender’s name in the marketing materials used to market any financial products or services to Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, since the Loans are at all times the sole property of Lender, Lender shall have the unconditional right, at any time and from time to time, to take possession of the original Loan Files, and Servicer shall promptly deliver the same to Lender on Lender’s request, except to the extent that a Loan is transferred or an Economic Participation is granted (as applicable) pursuant to Sections 2.02, 3.05 or 12.05(b)(ii) of this Servicing Agreement or Sections 2.06 or 7.05(b)(ii) of the Origination Agreement.

 

(ii) Compliance Testing. Servicer shall make its relevant facilities, personnel, systems, reports and records available to Lender, its agents or a Governmental Authority at any time, upon reasonable request, for statistical sampling of the Loans and for review of such other information and documents as Lender may reasonably request to enable Lender to determine Servicer’s compliance with this Servicing Agreement and the Origination Agreement.

 

(iii) Provision of Data. Servicer covenants that it will provide Lender with such information as Lender may reasonably request to enable Lender to determine Servicer’s compliance with this Servicing Agreement and the Origination Agreement.

 

(iv) Loan Files. Servicer shall maintain the Loan Files and provide access to the same to Lender or Lender’s designee or to any Governmental Authority as reasonably requested at any time. Lender may upon reasonable advance notice to Servicer periodically be allowed access to Servicer’s relevant facilities, personnel and records to monitor performance under and compliance with the terms of this Servicing Agreement and Lender’s vendor management requirements.

 

(v) Custody Procedure. Servicer shall hold all Loan Files and related documents serviced hereunder on behalf of Lender in its possession for a period of seven (7) years after the earlier of (a) the date upon which the Loan evidenced by such Loan File and related documents is paid in full or (b) the date upon which the Loan is removed from Servicer’s Loan servicing system. To the extent that Servicer has received any Loan Files that have an original, wet signature, Servicer shall (a) maintain such Loan Files in a fire resistant vault equipped with a fire suppression system that is connected to an alarm and a security locking system, (b) provide Lender with the location of such physical Loan Files and (c) provide Lender with sixty (60) calendar days’ advance notice of any change in the location of such physical Loan Files. Servicer shall create electronic records of all Loan Files and related documents at no additional cost to Lender and shall maintain such electronic records within its data system and in a back-up system. Upon

-16-

request by Lender, Servicer shall as promptly as practicable supply Lender electronic copies of Loan Files and all related documents.

 

(vi) Lost or Damaged Records. In the event that records or other data submitted to Servicer in connection with the Servicing is lost or damaged while in the possession, control or custody of Servicer or its agents, Servicer shall use all reasonable efforts to reproduce such lost or damaged records or data at Servicer’s own cost and expense from image duplicates in Servicer’s possession or under Servicer’s control.

 

(g) If a Borrower’s address is within a geographic area determined by the President of the United States or the Governor of the applicable state to warrant individual, or individual and public, assistance from the federal government under the Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act or similar state law and the Borrower indicates hardship in making the current monthly payments, Servicer may defer payments and extend the term up to four monthly payments.

 

(h) Delegation of Duties. So long as GreenSky acts as Servicer, Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate any duties under this Servicing Agreement to any wholly-owned Subsidiary of GreenSky; provided, however, that Servicer shall not be released of any of its obligations or responsibilities under this Servicing Agreement and shall be liable for any action or omission of any such wholly-owned Subsidiary as if such action or omission were an action or omission of Servicer.

 

Section 2.02. Treatment of Portfolio Credit Loss Loans. To the extent Lender has been reimbursed for all Portfolio Credit Losses with respect to a Loan pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii), Lender shall transfer legal title to such Loan to Servicer to the extent Servicer maintains licenses necessary to own such Loans. To the extent Servicer does not maintain the necessary licenses to own such Loans, Lender instead shall grant to Servicer an Economic Participation in all such Loans; provided, that, to the extent Servicer later obtains the necessary licenses to own any such Loan, Lender shall, upon Servicer’s request and at no additional cost, transfer Lender’s legal title to a Loan to Servicer pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Servicer. Any such transfer or Economic Participation shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind, other than that the Loans are owned by Lender free and clear of any Liens on the date of such transfer. Servicer shall not further transfer any Economic Participation it owns in a Loan (in whole or in part) without Lender’s prior written consent; provided, that Servicer may transfer any Economic Participation it owns in a Loan that is less than 120 days past due without Lender’s consent to the extent that, in connection with the transfer of such Economic Participation, Servicer also arranges for the transfer of Lender’s legal title to such Loan to a third party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Servicer shall not transfer any Economic Participation in a Loan that is 120 days or more past due without the consent of Lender. In connection with Servicer’s transfer of an Economic Participation in compliance with this Section 2.02 (including Lender’s consent requirements, if applicable), Lender shall, upon Servicer’s request and at no additional

-17-

cost, transfer Lender’s legal title to a Loan to the transferee of such Economic Participation. To the extent Lender’s legal title to a Loan is transferred to a third party in connection with Servicer’s transfer of an Economic Participation pursuant to the preceding sentences or otherwise, in each case pursuant to this section, such assignment and sale shall be pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

 

Section 2.03. Backup Servicing; Information to be Provided. Servicer agrees to provide access to data and Loan Files, on an ongoing basis, relating to the Loans to Lender or its designee (which may include the Backup Servicer) sufficient such that a Successor Servicer (or Lender to the extent it chooses to service the Loans) could immediately assume servicing of the Loans in the event of the termination of Servicer hereunder or the termination of this Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 2.04. Security Interest. (a) As security for the performance by Servicer of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of Servicer to be performed under this Servicing Agreement and the Origination Agreement, including the payment when due of all funds owing to Lender, Servicer hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of Servicer’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, and wherever located, and proceeds of the foregoing and agrees to, and will cooperate with Lender in requesting that LockBox Bank, enter into any deposit account control agreements reasonably requested by Lender to perfect its security interest in the Collateral.

 

(b) If the 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 the Loans in favor of Lender, which is enforceable upon execution and delivery of the Origination Agreement, and the Origination Agreement shall be deemed to be a “security agreement” (as defined in the UCC). Upon the filing of the financing statement, Lender has a first priority perfected security interest in the Loans.

 

(c) Servicer authorizes Lender to file financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relating to the Collateral and all proceeds thereof without the signature of Servicer. This Servicing Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under Applicable Law.

 

(d) Servicer agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may reasonably be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may deem necessary, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest granted to Lender in the Collateral, or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder.

 

(e) If Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder after five (5) Business Days’ notice from Lender, Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the reasonable costs and expenses of Lender incurred in

-18-

connection therewith shall be payable by Servicer or offset by Lender as provided in Section 3.06. Servicer irrevocably authorizes Lender and appoints Lender, as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of Servicer, to take all actions necessary in order to perfect Lender’s interest in the Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Term; Servicer Termination Events

 

Section 4.01. Term. This Servicing Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and terminate on the date that all Loans originated by Lender under the Origination Agreement have been repaid, unless sooner terminated as provided herein. Servicer shall not resign at any time for any reason.

(d) Servicer shall assign or delegate its duties under this Servicing Agreement, except as permitted by Section 2.01(h) or Section 12.05;

 

(e) any representation, warranty or certification made by Servicer in this Servicing Agreement, the Origination Agreement, or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Servicing Agreement or the Origination Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the Loans, on the ability of Servicer to perform its obligations under this Servicing Agreement, the Origination Agreement or the Origination Papers or on the transactions contemplated hereunder in general;

 

(f) Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee or conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy proceeding or other insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all its property, or an action seeking a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee or a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been commenced against Servicer and such action shall have remained undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) calendar days or an order or decree providing for such relief shall have been entered; or Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;

(g) Servicer or any Person engaged by Servicer to act on its behalf shall engage in Fraudulent Activity at any time during the term of this Servicing Agreement or the Origination Agreement and Servicer does not remedy such Fraudulent Activity within thirty (30) calendar days (only if such Fraudulent Activity can be cured within such thirty (30) calendar day period) after the earlier of (x) the date on which Servicer becomes aware of such Fraudulent Activity and (y) the date on which notice of such Fraudulent Activity, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Servicer by Lender;

 

(h) [*****];

 

(i) [*****];

 

(j) Servicer shall alter its servicing practices in a manner that has a material adverse effect on the Loans, the ability of Servicer to perform its obligations under this Servicing Agreement, the Origination Agreement or the Origination Papers or on the transactions contemplated hereunder in general, and which material adverse effect continues for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the earlier of (x) the date on which Servicer becomes aware of such material adverse effect and (y) the date on which notice of such material adverse effect shall have been given to Servicer by Lender;

 

(k) Servicer experiences a material deterioration in its financial condition such that Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations under this Servicing Agreement in any material respect (such material deterioration in financial condition, a “Financial Condition Event”), and such Financial Condition Event continues unremedied for a period of ninety (90) calendar days after the date on which notice of such Financial Condition Event shall either have been given to Lender by Servicer or to Servicer by Lender; or

 

(l) Any Governmental Authority requests or requires the Servicing to be terminated.

 

then, in the event of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been timely remedied, Lender, by written notice to Servicer (a “Termination Notice”), may, subject to Section 4.03, terminate all but not less than all of the rights and obligations of Servicer as Servicer under this Servicing Agreement and appoint a Successor Servicer.

 

After receipt by Servicer of a Termination Notice, and on the date that a Successor Servicer is appointed by Lender pursuant to Section 4.03, all authority and power of Servicer under this Servicing Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer (a “Service Transfer”); and, without limitation, Lender is hereby authorized and empowered (upon the failure of Servicer to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of Servicer to execute or

-21-

deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Service Transfer. Servicer agrees to cooperate with Lender and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of Servicer to service the Loans provided for under this Servicing Agreement, including all authority over all Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by Servicer for deposit, or which have been deposited in the SunTrust DDA Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Loans, and in assisting the Successor Servicer. Servicer shall also complete such transfer of its rights under the Program Agreements as may be necessary for the Successor Servicer to adequately perform its duties and obligations under this Servicing Agreement; but otherwise, Servicer shall remain obligated under and shall continue to perform its duties and obligations under the Program Agreements. Servicer shall within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Termination Notice transfer its electronic records relating to the Loans and the Loan Files to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Loans in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer or Lender shall reasonably request. The Servicer shall be responsible for all expenses incurred in transferring the servicing duties to the Successor Servicer. To the extent that compliance with this Section shall require Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which Servicer deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as Servicer shall deem reasonably necessary to protect its interests.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance shall not constitute a Servicer Termination Event (i) under paragraph (a) of this Section 4.02 for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the applicable grace period or (ii) under paragraph (b), (c), (e) or (h) of this Section 4.02 for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after the applicable grace period, if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by a Force Majeure Event. The preceding sentence shall not relieve Servicer from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Servicing Agreement and Servicer shall provide Lender with an Officer’s Certificate giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts so to perform its obligations.

 

Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, Lender may exercise all remedies available to it in law and at equity with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, to instruct the bank(s) at which the Account Collateral is held to pay from the Account Collateral portions of the balance of such account pursuant to Section 9-607(a)(5) of the UCC up to the amounts owed to Lender pursuant to this Servicing Agreement and the Origination Agreement as satisfaction thereof.

Section 4.03. Appointment of Successor Servicer.

 

(a) On and after the receipt by Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 4.02, Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Servicing Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by Lender or until a date mutually agreed upon by Servicer and Lender. Lender shall as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint on commercially reasonable terms a third party servicing entity selected by Lender in its sole discretion, or itself on commercially reasonable terms, as the successor servicer of this Servicing Agreement (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer, if a third party, shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to Lender. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment at the time when Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, Lender, without further action, shall automatically be appointed as the Successor Servicer on commercially reasonably terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall, if Lender is legally unable or unwilling so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an established institution qualifying as the Successor Servicer hereunder as the Successor Servicer.

(d) Specific Conditions and Additional Remedies Associated with Servicer’s Infringement Indemnity.

 

(i) Additional Remedies. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction makes a determination that any Servicer Intellectual Property infringes or otherwise violates any third party intellectual property right, or if Servicer determines that any Servicer Intellectual Property likely infringes or otherwise violates such third party’s intellectual property right, Servicer, at its option and sole expense, in addition to the indemnification obligation set forth above, will:

(B) the combination of any Servicer Intellectual Property with other products, processes, or materials prohibited by Servicer in the applicable specifications if, but for such other products, processes, or materials, the infringement would not have occurred; or

 

(C) Lender’s use of any Servicer Intellectual Property other than in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Servicing Agreement or the applicable specifications relating to such Servicer Intellectual Property.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Servicer Indemnitee (with respect to a Lender Indemnitee) or Lender Indemnitee (with respect to a Servicer Indemnitee) will assert, whether in connection with an indemnification claim or otherwise, and each hereby waives, any claim against (i) any Lender Indemnitee or (ii) any Servicer Indemnitee, respectively, on any theory of liability, for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages of any type whatsoever (as opposed to actual and direct damages), but not including Lender’s potential claims for lost profits in trademark infringement cases (even if advised of the possibility thereof) arising in any way from the transactions contemplated under this Servicing Agreement, except to the extent that the Performance Fee or the Servicing Fee may be deemed to embody these types of damages; provided, that nothing in this clause (e) shall relieve either Servicer or Lender of any obligation it may have to indemnify any Servicer Indemnitee or Lender Indemnitee, as applicable, hereunder against indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages asserted against such Servicer Indemnitee or Lender Indemnitee, as applicable, by a third party.

 

Article VII

Customer Complaint Process

 

Section 7.01. Customer Complaint Process. (a) Servicer will maintain a register, updated, at least weekly, detailing all customer complaints (“Complaints Register”), whether made verbally or in writing (including email), regarding Servicer (and relating to a Loan) or Lender or the Loan. Said Complaints Register shall outline the nature of the complaint, name of the Person making the complaint, the date, time and method by which the complaint was received, the date, time, and method by which a response was communicated, and details of actions taken or to be taken to resolve the complaint, with the name of all Servicer representatives who participated in receiving and/or resolving the complaint. In addition, Servicer will provide Lender with reasonable access to its written responses to Written Complaints upon Lender’s request. For purposes of this section, a “complaint” occurs when a Borrower or prospective Borrower (i) makes statement(s) or allegations to Servicer of wrongful or unethical conduct by Lender, its agents, employees, Affiliates or vendors or (ii) expresses serious dissatisfaction or confusion to Servicer with a product, term or business practice of Lender or the conduct of Servicer that cannot be resolved without escalation according to defined processes; neither of which is objectively frivolous.

 

(b) Servicer further agrees within five (5) Business Days of receipt, to forward to Lender all Written Complaints received. “Written Complaints” means any written complaint, subpoena, or allegation of material regulatory or legal violation relating to Servicer (and relating to a Loan) or Lender received from a Borrower, an attorney or other representative of a Borrower, or any Governmental Authority regarding any act, communication, or practice by Lender or Servicer (and relating to a Loan) or any of its employees, regardless of whether or not such complaint asserts a violation of any Applicable Law.

(d) Copies of the entire Complaints Register and all Written Complaints shall be sent to such addresses and by such delivery at such times and by such methods as Lender shall specify in writing (including email).

The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party or a third party providing such information to the Disclosing Party, and the disclosure of such information to the Receiving Party does not confer upon it any license, interest, or right of any kind in or to the Proprietary Information, except as provided under this Servicing Agreement. At all times and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Servicing Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees that it will: (a) hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any third party the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party, except to carry out the purposes of this Servicing Agreement or as otherwise approved in writing by the Disclosing Party; (b) only permit access to the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its personnel who have a need to know and have signed confidentiality agreements or are otherwise bound by confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those contained in this Servicing Agreement; (c) be responsible to the Disclosing Party for any third party’s use and disclosure of the Proprietary Information provided to such third party by the Receiving Party; (d) only use Proprietary Information that it receives to carry out the

purposes of this Servicing Agreement and for no other purpose whatsoever; and (e) use at least the same degree of care it would use to protect its own Proprietary Information of like importance, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care, including without limitation, maintaining information security standards for such Proprietary Information as are commercially reasonable and customary for the type of information. Specifically, with regard to NPPI, Servicer will comply with the information security standards specific to such information set forth in this Servicing Agreement. Neither Party will communicate any information to the other Party in violation of the proprietary rights of any third party.

Section 8.05. Notice of Unauthorized Disclosures. Each Party to this Servicing Agreement will promptly notify the other Party in writing upon discovery of any unauthorized access, data breach, material loss or material unauthorized disclosure of the Proprietary Information of the other Party. Any unauthorized disclosure or loss of NPPI, regardless of context or amount of data, will be a material confidentiality breach pursuant this Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 8.06. Limit on Reproductions. The Receiving Party will not reproduce the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information in any form except as required to accomplish the intent of this Servicing Agreement.

later time, when no longer needed by either Party for fulfillment of its obligations under this Servicing Agreement or Applicable Law, each Receiving Party, except as prohibited by Applicable Law, will either: (a) promptly return to the Disclosing Party all documents and other tangible (including electronic) materials containing the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information, including all copies thereof in its possession or control; or (b) erase or destroy all such materials by the following methods, the foregoing notwithstanding, provided however that records shall not be destroyed prior to the time specified pursuant to applicable record retention timeframes, or alternatively such records are delivered to the Disclosing Party. If return, erasure, or destruction is not feasible, then the Receiving Party may, with the written consent of the Disclosing Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), maintain the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information in compliance with the requirements of the confidentiality and information security provisions of this Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that when the return, destruction, or erasure of any such materials becomes feasible for the Receiving Party, the Receiving Party must comply with the requirements of (a) or (b) above within sixty (60) calendar days.

Each Party specifically acknowledges that money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the injuries and damages that would be suffered and incurred by the non-breaching Party as a result of a breach of this Section 8.08. In the event that either Party should seek an injunction hereunder, the other Party hereby waives any requirement for the submission of proof of the economic value of any Proprietary Information or the posting of a bond or any other security.

Section 8.12. Information Related to Tax Structure and Treatment. It is the Parties’ mutual intent that the tax structure and tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Servicing Agreement will not be confidential and, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party and its personnel may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax structure and tax treatment of the transactions contemplated herein such that the transactions will be treated as not having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any comparable provision in the law of any other jurisdiction.

 

Article IX

Information Security

 

Section 9.01. General Requirements. Servicer will adhere to Lender’s information security policies when providing services on site at Lender’s facilities. Servicer will safeguard information, including NPPI, and adhere to information security standards and requirements as are prescribed by Applicable Law for federally insured financial institutions. In addition, Servicer will maintain data back-up procedures, and information security systems and processes (collectively, the “Security Systems”) continuously at its own facilities and those of any personnel at which Servicing is performed and under business continuity plans so that no Lender Proprietary Information is lost, stolen, modified, disclosed to, accessed, or made inaccessible or unreadable to Servicer or Lender by any third party (other than those permitted parties under the Confidentiality of Proprietary Information Section of this Servicing Agreement), whether the data is maintained at such facilities or is in transmission. The Security Systems will equal or exceed standard industry practices for similar suppliers dealing with Proprietary Information of financial institutions and be in compliance with Applicable Law. Servicer will reasonably monitor, evaluate, and adjust the Security Systems in response to relevant changes in technology, changes in the sensitivity of any Lender Proprietary Information (as reasonably determined by Lender), and internal and external threats to information security and any changes in Applicable Law. Servicer will promptly notify Lender of: (a) any breach of the Security Systems of which

-44-

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL APPEARING IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [*****] HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED

 

Servicer has knowledge that results in (i) unauthorized access to Lender Proprietary Information or could reasonably be expected to do so, or (ii) Lender Proprietary Information being made inaccessible or unreasonable to Servicer or Lender; (b) the consequences of the breach; and (c) Servicer’s corrective action. If Lender is required to notify its customers, employees, or regulators of a breach of the Security Systems affecting Lender’s Proprietary Information, at Lender’s option, Servicer will either notify Lender’s customers, employees, or regulators of the breach or reimburse Lender for the cost of these notifications.

 

Section 9.02. Encryption. To the extent Servicer places or retains Proprietary Information on the following types of devices, Servicer will encrypt all of them: (a) with whole disk encryption, all laptop computers; (b) personal digital assistants (PDAs); (c) all other portable devices (including, but not limited to, thumb drives); and (d) files on portable media (including, but not limited to, tapes and CDs). All encryption must meet a minimum standard of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm with a minimum key strength of 128-bit.

 

Section 9.03. Information Security Audits. During the term of this Servicing Agreement and for one (1) year following termination:

 

(a) Audit Scope. Solely to assess the effective protection of the Lender Proprietary Information, Lender may conduct annual remote or on-site audits of Servicer, at Lender’s discretion and expense (except as set forth below), to review the Security Systems at any time during Servicer’s regular business hours upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to Servicer. However, if there is an actual breach of the Security Systems, Lender or its agents may conduct additional audits. The audits may be performed by Lender, its agent, or an independent third party bound by nondisclosure provisions substantially similar to those in this Servicing Agreement, and may include reasonable testing of the Security Systems, including without limitation, periodic vulnerability scans. The Parties will schedule the testing at a mutually agreeable time and will cooperate in structuring the tests so as to use reasonable, industry- standard precautions to minimize risks to the Security Systems and to avoid harming the rights and interests of Servicer or any third parties. Servicer will provide Lender with reasonable assistance and information necessary for the performance of the testing, including reasonable access to its logs, policies, records, and other materials (solely as related to Lender Proprietary Information), and to Servicer personnel reasonably required for Lender to perform the audit. Lender will reasonably determine the extent and methodology of the testing subject to the approval of Servicer, the approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Servicer agrees to make available to Lender the results of any third party’s or its own testing, monitoring and auditing of the Security Systems both in general and as relates to Lender Proprietary Information, provided, that Servicer will not be required to make available any results which would breach its confidentiality obligations to any third party.

(b) Audit Findings/Remediation. If an audit reveals that the Security Systems do not effectively protect any Lender Proprietary Information or do not otherwise meet the information security requirements of Lender, its regulators, or the provisions of Applicable Law, then Servicer will complete and install modifications to the Security Systems, the cost, expense, and allocation of which will be borne by Servicer. If Servicer is unable to complete and install adequate modifications within the lesser of (i) the time frame agreed by the Parties, or (ii) the time period required by Applicable Law, then Lender may immediately terminate this Servicing Agreement without penalty, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Servicing Agreement.

 

(c) Audit Costs. Lender will reimburse Servicer’s reasonable direct expenses associated with the audit (e.g., reasonable copy charges or other reasonable standard expenses), but not any other expenses, such as a charge for access to Servicer personnel or other sources of information. Lender will bear the agreed upon cost of any audit unless the audit is in response to a security breach that impacts, or could reasonably be presumed to impact, Lender Proprietary Information, in which case Servicer will bear the cost of the audit.

 

Section 9.04. Modifications to Agreements. To the extent that regulations promulgated under any Applicable Law require additional or modified security, privacy, or confidentiality agreements between financial institutions and third party suppliers, Servicer agrees that it will execute the additional or modified agreements as reasonably required by Lender.

mode by an automated scheduling system such that a full backup is available each day. Servicer will maintain backup servers and telecommunications connections for all data storage. Servicer’s disaster recovery and contingency plans, equipment, software and telecommunications connections will enable Servicer to provide the Servicing and restoration of Loan data and information on and from such backup servers within twenty-four hours of any disruption of its primary servers, and a plan for the transition back to Servicer’s principal facilities upon cessation of the disaster or recovery from the business interruption that can be expeditiously implemented. Servicer will make its contingency plans available to Lender on request and will provide Lender with at least sixty (60) calendar days’ prior written notice of any contemplated changes in such plans that might adversely affect the Servicing, Lender or its personnel. Servicer will test its disaster recovery capabilities at least once each calendar year, and will provide such test results to Lender upon request. Lender has the right to reasonably request the ability to actively participate in Servicer’s disaster recovery testing in order to validate the interoperability of Lender’s business continuity and recovery processes. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing or described in the applicable Servicer contingency plan, Servicer shall have sufficient capacity and/or contingency plans to ensure that there is no material degradation in service or service levels, as applicable, to Lender.

 

(b) Upon Lender’s reasonable request, Servicer will respond to Lender’s questionnaire which will address the assessment of Servicer’s continuity abilities, including, if applicable, results of testing, audits, regulatory requirements and guidelines. Further, if reasonably requested by Lender, Servicer will provide Lender with a summary of the most recent testing results of its continuity plan.

 

(c) Use of Third Parties for Disaster Recovery. If Servicer uses third parties to provide equipment, software, and telecommunications connections for disaster recovery and contingency planning, then Servicer’s agreements with such third parties must contain provisions that meet or exceed those provisions set forth above in this Section 12.12.

On or before April 1st of each year, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, Lender will provide to Servicer the appropriate Lender EIN(s) to be used in submitting tax information to Borrowers and the Internal Revenue Service. On or before April 7th of each year, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, Servicer will provide to Lender’s corporate tax department (i) the name and EIN used to submit tax information to the Internal Revenue Service on Lender’s behalf, (ii) the volumes and dollar amounts per form that were
