NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.Defined Terms.  As used in this Amendment, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.

Section 2.Amendments of the Agreement. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a)Amendments to Section 3.11.  Paragraphs (b) through (d) of Section 3.11 of the Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

“(b) Safekeeping.  The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, or a Subservicer, appointed by the Servicer as subcustodian pursuant to Section 3.11(e), shall hold the Contracts (i) in physical form or (ii) with respect to each Loan originated in electronic form, in electronic form in the Electronic Vault.  The custodian or, if applicable, any Subservicer appointed by it as subcustodian (in the case of Loans held in physical form) will hold such Contracts for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer or the North Carolina Trust, as applicable; provided, that the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall ensure that the Electronic Contracts are maintained by the Electronic Vault Provider as a designated custodian of the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders) in the Electronic Vault. The Electronic Vault will be controlled by the Servicer in its capacity as custodian hereunder. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its customary servicing practices. The Servicer will promptly report to the Issuer, the 2019-1A SUBI Trustee and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part (or, if applicable, a subcustodian’s part) to hold a material portion of the Contracts (including Electronic Contracts) and maintain its account, records, and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein will be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review

1

by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of the Contracts. The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing practices, maintain all or a portion of a Contract in electronic form in the Electronic Vault and/or maintain custody of all or any portion of a Contract with one or more Persons to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in accordance with Section 6.07. The Servicer will maintain each Contract in the United States (it being understood that (i) the Contracts, or any part thereof, may be maintained at the offices of any Person to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in accordance with Section 6.07 and (ii) Electronic Contracts shall be maintained in the Electronic Vault). The Servicer will make available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Contracts upon request. Notwithstanding any reference herein or in any other Transaction Document to the Electronic Vault Provider acting as a designated custodian of the Indenture Trustee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for, and shall have no duty to supervise or monitor, the default, misconduct or any other action or omission of the Electronic Vault Provider, and that the Indenture Trustee may assume the Electronic Vault Provider’s performance of its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall cause the Electronic Vault to reflect the name of the applicable Owner of Record as follows: “Regional Management Issuance Trust 2019-1/Regional Management NC Receivables Trust, solely with respect to 2019-1A SUBI”.

(c) Effective Period and Termination.  The Servicer’s appointment as custodian with respect to any Loan shall become effective as of the Cut-Off Date for such Loan and will continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 3.11(c) (or such Loan ceases to be a Sold Asset or 2019-1A SUBI Asset, as applicable); provided, the Servicer’s appointment as custodian in respect of the Initial Loans shall be deemed to have been effective as of the Initial Cut-Off Date. If Regional Management resigns as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer have been terminated under Section 8.01, the Indenture Trustee may (and upon the written direction of the Required Noteholders shall) terminate the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.01. In the event that the Custodian is terminated in such capacity, each Subservicer will be terminated as subcustodian for each Loan with respect to which it is then acting in such capacity. Upon the resignation or termination of the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement, control of the Contracts in the Electronic Vault shall be transferred to the Back-up Servicer to the extent it becomes the successor servicer in accordance with this Agreement, or another successor servicer. In the event that the Back-up Servicer assumes servicing responsibilities or a successor Servicer, as applicable, is appointed, the outgoing Servicer shall promptly transfer to the Back-up Servicer or a successor Servicer, as applicable, in such manner and to such location as the Back-up Servicer or a successor Servicer, as applicable, shall reasonably designate, all of the Contracts and other Related Loan Assets in its possession or control; provided, however, if the Back-up Servicer is the successor

2

Servicer, it shall (i) notify the Electronic Vault Provider of the transfer of servicing responsibilities to the Back-up Servicer as Successor Servicer and (ii) accept the transfer of possession of the Electronic Vault to the Back-up Servicer as Successor Servicer; it being agreed by the Servicer that it shall reasonably cooperate with the Back-up Servicer with respect to effecting any such election, notification or transfer.

(d) Establishment of Imaging System. Other than with respect to any Electronic Contract, the Servicer shall maintain an imaging system through which the original physical Contract and, with respect to any Hard Secured Loan, the original physical certificate of title with respect to the Titled Asset securing such Hard Secured Loan may be imaged and captured through a standalone PDF, or another electronic medium, device and validated through an internal, controlled process with images captured, stored and identifiable at a central location as a backup to physical documentation.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer shall cause imaged files with respect to which the related Contract is an Electronic Contract to be stored in the Electronic Vault and such imaged files will not be delivered to or reviewed or retained by the Image File Custodian.”
