ARTICLE II

 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF LOANS

 

Section 2.01 Servicing.

 

(a) Lender hereby appoints Servicer to service the Loans as provided herein.

 

(b) Servicer agrees to service the Loans in accordance and compliance with all applicable Laws and Governmental Requirements and customary industry servicing practices of prudent lending institutions that service loans of the same type as the Loans, which shall include, but not be limited to, account opening, transaction processing, customer service, statement generation, reporting, billing, repayment disbursements, management, administration, collection, and customer service, in accordance, where applicable, with (i) the criteria set forth in this Servicing Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, and on Schedule A annexed hereto, and (ii) the terms of the Origination Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, and any schedules thereto (“Servicing”). Servicer further agrees to provide such other services as Lender and Servicer determine are customary and reasonable in connection with the servicing of the Loans, as provided for herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer shall not be obligated to institute collection litigation.

 

(c) Servicer agrees to timely deliver to Lender the financial reports with respect to the Loans as are set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto.

 

(d) Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such Servicing that it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable for the benefit of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on Loans less than 90 days past due, Servicer shall not, without the prior approval of Lender, (i) modify the terms of the Loans, including, but not limited to, interest rate and maturity date, or (ii) waive Borrower payment delinquencies. In addition, if the Monthly Accounting is not positive, Servicer shall not (i) modify the terms of the Loans or (ii) waive Borrower payment delinquencies. Otherwise, on Loans greater than or equal to 90 days past due, Servicer may, without the prior approval of Lender (i) modify the terms of the Loans, including, but not limited to, interest rate and maturity date and (ii) waive Borrower payment delinquencies. Servicer and Lender agree that Servicer’s modification of the terms of a Loan or

6
 

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

 

waiver of Borrower payment delinquencies pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) shall have no effect upon the treatment of the Outstanding Balance of such Loan as a Portfolio Credit Loss.

 

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer agrees: (i) to timely invoice each Borrower for all payments required to be paid by such Borrower in such manner and to the same extent as Servicer does with respect to similar loans held for its own account or would be expected to do if it held such loans for its own account; (ii) to instruct each Borrower to remit such payments due by such Borrower as follows: (A) to the extent such payments are made by wire transfer, ACH or direct deposit, to remit such payments to the GreenSky® Program ACH Account (and Servicer shall cause such payments to be swept to the GreenSky® Program Payment Clearing Account and then transferred and posted to Lender’s Designated Account within two (2) business days after receiving payment), and (B) to the extent such payments are made by check, cash or other means, to remit such payments to the Lockbox (and Servicer shall cause such payments to be swept and posted to Lender’s Designated Account within two (2) business days after such payments are received in the Lockbox); (iii) to deposit into Lender’s Designated Account any payment received by Servicer directly from a Borrower with respect to any Loan within two (2) business days of receiving such payments from a Borrower; and (iv) maintain with respect to each Loan, complete and accurate records in the same form and to the same extent as Servicer does with respect to contracts held for its own account or would be expected to do if it held such contracts for its own account. 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 Lender’s Designated Account 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.

 

(f) Lender owns and shall have access to all Borrower records including, but not limited to, Loan documents, at such time and in such manner as shall be requested by Lender subject to the reasonable approval of Servicer. 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 documents, other original evidence of the debt owed by any Borrower, the servicing file related to each Loan and all other documents in Servicer’s possession related to each Loan, and Servicer shall promptly deliver the same to Lender on Lender’s request.

 

(g) 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 solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any of Lender’s customers or prospective customers to cease doing business in whole or in part with or through Lender, nor shall Servicer otherwise interfere with the contractual or business relations between

7
 

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

 

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 2.02 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 Servicing Agreement and the Origination Agreement. Servicer shall maintain such books and records for such period as is required by Lender’s generally applicable internal record retention policies, but not less than five years or three 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 Servicing 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 2.03 [*****].

 

Section 2.04 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 2.05 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 Article V of this Servicing Agreement. Servicer shall provide to Lender’s Relationship Manager (i) the Complaint Tracking Procedures on an annual basis, and (ii) the results of the Complaint Tracking Procedures with respect to the Loans, including summaries of all complaints and the resolution/action(s) taken in regards to each

8

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 2.06 Subcontractors. Servicer agrees that if it employs Subcontractors pursuant to the terms of this Servicing Agreement, Servicer will advise Lender accordingly and will ensure the compliance of all Subcontractors with the terms of this Servicing 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 Servicing Agreement). If Servicer is utilizing Subcontractors to provide services pursuant to this Servicing Agreement, then Servicer acknowledges that it has overall accountability for all services that its Subcontractors provide to Servicer in the fulfillment of this contract. Servicer represents and warrants that, prior to the execution of this Servicing Agreement, it has provided Lender with a copy and/or summary of its policies, procedures and/or processes for engaging and monitoring its Subcontractors and assessing its Subcontractors’ financial condition to fulfill any of Servicer’s contractual obligations to provide services pursuant to this Servicing Agreement (its “Assessment Program”). Servicer further represents and warrants that it will provide Lender with a copy of its Assessment Program any time a material change is made or upon request. Servicer’s failure to comply with this subsection (ii) shall be deemed a breach of this Servicing Agreement and grounds for termination for cause by Lender pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof (in accordance with the terms thereof).

 

Section 2.07. 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 Servicing Agreement and Origination Agreement with Lender, Servicer and Servicer’s Subcontractors who provide products or services pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Servicing 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 D 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 Servicing Agreement.

Section 2.08. 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 Servicing 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 Article V of this Servicing Agreement and shall be grounds for termination of Servicer’s servicing role under this Servicing Agreement. Lender and Servicer agree to amend this Servicing 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 Servicing 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 Article V of this Servicing Agreement and shall be grounds for termination of Servicer’s servicing role under this Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 2.09. 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

10

2.09 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 2.09 as necessary which update will be binding upon Servicer upon 30 days’ prior written notice. Accordingly, any provisions to the contrary contained in this Servicing 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 Servicing Agreement by Lender. Further, any provisions to the contrary contained in this Servicing 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 Servicing 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 such 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 Servicing Agreement or Origination 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 services provided by Servicer hereunder to a new provider promptly, at Servicer’s request, if Servicer’s provision of services is continuing solely pursuant to this Section.

 

Section 2.10. 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 Servicing Agreement and the Origination 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 Servicing 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 Servicing 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 2.10 shall constitute a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of Article V of this Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 2.11 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 will (a) provide to Lender all applicable results of tests performed on the operability of the disaster recovery services within thirty (30) days following the completion of such tests, (b) allow Lender to passively participate (at its own expense) in such testing to a reasonable extent and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Servicer’s operations, the operations of other Servicer customers, or Servicer’s ability to conduct such tests, and (c) promptly provide Lender with a notice of a disaster and the expected extent to which such disaster will impact the delivery of the services. Servicer shall use its best efforts to resume performance under this Servicing 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 Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms, provisions, and conditions hereof. Servicer

12
 

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

 

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) participate in Lender’s recovery tests.

 

Section 2.12 Specially Designated National; Foreign-Based Service Providers. Servicer represents and warrants that, in performing its obligations under this Servicing 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 Servicing 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 Servicing 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 2.13 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 2.14 Suspicious Activity. Servicer will identify, monitor and report any suspicious activity related to the Loans and/or Loan payments, will report to Lender any suspicious activity that it identifies and will provide Lender with such information and documentation as Lender may request related to such suspicious activity.

SERVICER DEFAULTS

 

Section 4.01. Servicer Defaults. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

 

(a) any failure by Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit or to give instructions, or to give notice to Lender, Lockbox Bank or the bank holding the GreenSky® Program ACH Account to make such payment, transfer or deposit, on or before the date occurring three (3) Business Days after the date such payment, transfer or deposit or such instruction or notice is required to be made or given, as the case may be, under the terms of this Servicing Agreement;

 

(b) failure on the part of Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of Servicer set forth in this Servicing Agreement or in the Origination Agreement and which continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) days after the

14
 

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

 

date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Servicer by Lender;

 

(c) any representation, warranty, covenant 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 materially incorrect when made, which has a materially adverse effect on the Loans taken as a whole or on a Loan individually and which materially adverse effect continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which notice thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Lender by Servicer, unless such incorrect representation, warranty, covenant or certification cannot be remedied; or

 

(d) 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 Assets, 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) 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;

 

then, in the event of any Servicer Default, so long as Servicer Default shall not have been timely remedied, unless such Servicer Default cannot be remedied, Lender, by notice then given to Servicer (a “Termination Notice”), may terminate all but not less than all of the rights and obligations of Servicer as Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not terminate Servicer’s right to receive the Performance Fee; provided, however, that at Lender’s sole option, this Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all, or a portion of, such Loans originated prior to the date of the Termination Notice that Servicer is servicing at the time of the Termination Notice, in which event this Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such Loans only.

 

After receipt by Servicer of a Termination Notice, and on the date that a Successor Servicer is appointed by Lender pursuant to Section 4.02, all authority and power of Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, except for the right to receive payments hereunder reduced by the servicing fee paid by Lender to the Successor Servicer (or, if Lender is the Successor Servicer, by the reasonable amount that Lender would have to pay to an independent Successor Servicer in an arms’ length transaction), 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

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

 

otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of Servicer to execute or 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 shall thereafter be received by Servicer 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 transfer its electronic records relating to the Loans 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 and enforcement of the Loans in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. The predecessor 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 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 Default (i) under paragraph (a) above for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the applicable grace period or (ii) under paragraph (b) or (c) above 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 an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. 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.

 

Section 4.02. Appointment of Successor.

 

(a) On and after the receipt by Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 4.01, 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

16
 

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, 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 on commercially reasonably terms the Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall, if it is legally unable or unwilling so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution qualifying as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

 

(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to Servicer with respect to servicing functions and collection of any payment of fees or expenses under this Servicing Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Servicing Agreement to Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer. From and after the termination of the servicing by Servicer, the Performance Fee due to Servicer under Article III shall be reduced by the commercially reasonable servicing fee in accordance with this Section of this Servicing Agreement paid by Lender to the Successor Servicer, but the remainder of the Performance Fee shall be paid to Servicer as contemplated by Article III. In the event that Lender serves as a Successor Servicer, the Performance Fee due to Servicer under Article III shall be reduced by the commercially reasonable amount that Lender would have to pay to an independent Successor Servicer in an arms’ length transaction.

 

(c) Upon termination of Servicer’s servicing role under this Servicing 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 Servicing Agreement.

This restriction includes, but is not limited to, any public promotional or marketing materials, websites, public electronic media, customer lists or public business presentations. This restriction expressly excludes any announcement intended solely for internal distribution by Servicer or any disclosure required by legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of Servicer.

 

(g) Servicer hereby acknowledges the validity of all trademarks, internet domain names, web addresses, telephone numbers, trade dress, service marks and/or trade names (including, without limitation, logos and slogans) which identify or distinguish Lender or the goods, services or products of Lender, its Affiliates, and their respective products and services (“Marks”), and further acknowledges and agrees that Lender (or an applicable Affiliate) is and remains the exclusive owner of such Marks and names, and any and all rights thereto. Neither Party shall have any right, title or interest in or to the Marks of the other Party or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as the grant of a license to use any such Marks. The Parties acknowledge and agree that such rights may be conveyed only pursuant

(c) All of the representations and warranties made by Lender under Sections 4.03 of the Origination Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference and restated as representations and warranties made as of the date hereof and as of each Settlement Date (as that term is defined in the Origination Agreement) under this Servicing Agreement.

Section 6.02. [*****].

 

Section 6.03 Force Majeure.

 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Servicing Agreement, if either Party is prevented, hindered or delayed in the performance or observance of any of its obligations under this Servicing 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

19
 

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

 

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 Servicing 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.
