Section 2.01 Conveyance of Loans. (a) In consideration of the Issuer’s promise to pay the Purchase Price with respect to the Sold Assets, the Depositor does hereby sell, transfer, convey, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Issuer from time to time, without recourse except as provided herein, all its right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (i) the Purchased Assets, (ii) the right to receive all Collections with respect to the Purchased Assets after the applicable Cut-Off Date, (iii) all rights of the Depositor under the Loan Purchase Agreement and (iv) all proceeds thereof (such property, collectively, the “Sold Assets”); provided, however, that the Sold Assets shall not include any (x) Reassigned Loan released in connection with any Issuer Loan Release or (y) Loan reconveyed to the Depositor, Servicer or Subservicer in accordance with the express terms hereof. Purchased Assets shall not include any Loan reconveyed to the Seller in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, although the 2024-2A SUBI Certificate conveyed by the Depositor to the Issuer
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 1
hereunder represents a beneficial interest in the 2024-2A SUBI Loans, no 2024-2A SUBI Loans are being sold hereunder, and the 2024-2A SUBI Loans continue to be the property of the North Carolina Trust.
The foregoing does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or an assumption by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity), the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of any obligation of the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer or any other Person in connection with the Loans or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligations to Loan Obligors.
(b) In consideration for the purchase of the Sold Assets hereunder, the Issuer hereby agrees, subject to Article VIII of the Indenture, to pay to the Depositor on the Closing Date and, on each Payment Date, as applicable, the purchase price for the related Sold Assets (the “Purchase Price”), which shall consist of (i) with respect to the Initial Loans, the Notes, (ii) with respect to any Additional Loans (including any conveyance of Renewal Loans in connection with Renewal Loan Replacements), Collections available for such purpose under the Indenture, including funds available for such purpose on deposit in the Principal Distribution Account, and (iii) with respect to the Initial Loans and any Additional Loans, the Trust Certificate or, so long as the Depositor is the holder of the Trust Certificate, an increase in the value thereof on the Closing Date or the related Addition Date (except with respect to Renewal Loans in connection Renewal Loan Replacement), as applicable, or, with respect to Renewal Loans, on the Payment Date relating to the Collection Period in which such Renewal Loan Replacement occurred. In the case of any Renewal Loan Replacement, the Purchase Price of the Renewal Loan shall be calculated based on the excess, if any, of the Loan Principal Balance of such Renewal Loan over the Loan Principal Balance (immediately prior to such Terminated Loan being written down to zero) of the applicable Terminated Loan relating to such Renewal Loan, in each case, at the time of the Renewal, provided, that such Purchase Price shall not be due until the Payment Date relating to the Collection Period in which such Renewal Loan Replacement occurred, further proved that, for the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the Purchase Price for any Renewal Loan that is not paid in cash on the Payment Date relating to the Collection Period in which such Renewal Loan Replacement occurred shall, so long as the Depositor is the holder of the Trust Certificate, constitute a contribution of capital resulting in an increase in the value of the Trust Certificate.
(c) The Depositor agrees to authorize, record and file, at the expense of the Depositor, on or within ten (10) days of the Closing Date, all the financing statements (and amendments to financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Loans and the other Sold Assets meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain the perfection of, the transfer and assignment of the Loans and the other Sold Assets to the Issuer as a first-priority ownership interest, and to deliver a file stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to the Issuer and, in the case of amendments to financing statements, as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by the Depositor. In the event that any transfer of Sold Assets on any Addition Date requires any filing or documents necessary to maintain the interest of the Issuer and its assigns as a first-priority perfected ownership interest, the Depositor shall cause all such filings and recordings to be made on or within ten (10) days of the date of such transfer and promptly provide evidence thereof to the Issuer.
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 2
On or prior to the Closing Date or the relevant Addition Date, as applicable, the Depositor shall mark its electronic records with respect to each Loan sold hereunder with a designation to indicate that such Loans and the related Sold Assets have been sold to the Issuer under this Agreement and a security interest therein has been granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. In connection with any Renewal that constitutes a Renewal Loan Replacement, such marking of the electronic records shall include recordation of the loan number for the Terminated Loan subject to such Renewal in the Renewal File for the Renewal Loan. The Depositor shall not change any of these entries in its computer files relating to any such Loan or related Sold Assets except in connection with any Loan that ceases to be a Sold Asset; provided, that after a Loan shall have been repaid in full (and all Collections in respect thereof shall have been deposited into the Collection Account) or shall have become a Terminated Loan (and with respect to such Terminated Loan (y) the related Renewal Loan has been included on the Renewal File identifying Renewal Loans that have become Additional Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(c) or (z) the related Terminated Loan Price shall have been deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.11), such entries may be removed consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy.
(d) The Depositor shall deliver to the Issuer a Loan Schedule, together with the Initial Loan Assignment, on the Closing Date, identifying the Initial Loans sold hereunder by the Depositor and the 2024-2A SUBI Certificate sold by the Depositor to the Issuer on the Closing Date. In addition, the Depositor agrees no later than the Monthly Determination Date following the end of each Collection Period, to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Issuer, an updated Loan Schedule reflecting the list of all Loans that will constitute Sold Assets as of the close of business on the related Loan Action Date (after giving effect to all Loan Actions on such Loan Action Date other than any Loans that become, or cease to be, Sold Assets as a result of any Renewal occurring after the last day of such Collection Period). Such Loan Schedule shall also separately identify each Loan that will be designated as an Excluded Loan for the related Loan Action Date (after giving effect to all Loan Actions that will occur on such Loan Action Date).
(e) The parties intend that the transfer of the Sold Assets to the Issuer by the Depositor be an absolute sale and not a secured borrowing. If the transaction under this Agreement were determined to be a loan rather than an absolute sale despite this intent of the parties, the transfers provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the grant of, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Issuer a first-priority security interest in all of such entity’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under the Sold Assets to secure the payment and performance of all obligations of the Depositor under this Agreement including the obligation to cause the sale of Sold Assets and the payment of all monies due under the Sold Assets to the Issuer and its assigns. This grant is a protective measure and must not be construed as evidence of any intent contrary to the one expressed in the first sentence of this paragraph, nor should the intent expressed in the first sentence of this paragraph be deemed to be an expression of the intended tax treatment of the conveyance of the Sold Assets.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Issuer. (a) The Issuer hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest to the Sold Assets purchased by, and conveyed to, the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01. The Issuer further acknowledges that, prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor delivered to it a Loan Schedule relating to the Initial Loans (other than the 2024-2A SUBI Loans).

The obligations of the Depositor to so cure such breach or repurchase the affected Loan shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement or otherwise against the Depositor in respect of a breach by the Depositor of any representations or warranties contained in Section 2.05(a)(ii) or (v) hereof.
(b) In the event that the Depositor has not cured any Direct Depositor Breach within the applicable forty-five day period in accordance with (and to the extent required by) Section 2.06(a) hereof, the Depositor must repurchase its interests in the affected Loan on the first Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period in which such forty-five day period expired; provided, that, in order to effectuate such repurchase, the Depositor shall deposit into the Collection Account, on or prior to such Payment Date, an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for such Loan in immediately available funds. Upon receipt of the applicable Repurchase Price in the Collection Account and release of such Loan from the lien of the Indenture in accordance with the terms thereof, automatically and without further action, the Issuer hereby sell to the Depositor without recourse, representation, or warranty, all of each of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in, to, and under (i) such Loan, (ii) with respect to the Issuer, the right to receive Collections in respect of such Loan from and after the date of such repurchase, (iii) all Sold Assets relating to such Loan and (iv) all proceeds of any of the property and assets described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii).

(k) Depositor Acting for Another Issuer. The Depositor shall not act as depositor for another issuer under a different securitization unless the Depositor delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that, based upon due inquiry, it has reasonably concluded that acting as depositor for such other issuer under such securitization will not adversely affect the holders of the Notes in any material respect.
Section 2.08 Addition of Loans. (a) The Depositor, with the consent of the Issuer (which it may provide or withhold in its sole discretion), may designate from time to time Additional Loans to be sold to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement in exchange for the Purchase Price, in each case (other than in the case of a Renewal Loan with respect to a Renewal Loan Replacement) on the applicable Addition Date and in the case of a Renewal Loan with respect to a Renewal Loan Replacement, on a Payment Date.
(b) On the applicable Addition Date with respect to any Additional Loans (which shall be (i) a Payment Date for any Additional Loans that is not a Renewal Loan with respect to a Renewal Loan Replacement, and (ii) any day during the Revolving Period, for any Renewal Loan with respect to a Renewal Loan Replacement), the Issuer shall acquire such Additional Loans and the Depositor shall make the following representations on such Addition Date:

(ii) as of the applicable Addition Date, the Revolving Period was then in effect;
(iii) as of the applicable Addition Date, the Depositor reasonably believed that the transfer of such Additional Loans to the Issuer would not result in an Adverse Effect;

(v) in connection with any such acquisition by the Issuer, the terms of the Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 8.07 thereof) have been complied with in all material respects.

SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 10
(c) Additionally, in connection with Renewal Loan Replacements, Renewal Loans (and the related Purchased Assets) may be sold to the Depositor and, in turn, conveyed to the Issuer. Upon the Renewal of any Loan, the related Terminated Loan will be deemed to have been paid in full (and the principal balance thereof will be written down to zero). A Renewal Loan Replacement may occur on any Business Day during the Revolving Period and is not subject to the requirement that no Reinvestment Criteria Event will exist after giving effect to such Renewal Loan Replacement. The Cut-Off Date with respect to the related Renewal Loan Replacement will be the date of such Renewal Loan Replacement. However, the Loan Pool, including any Renewal Loan Replacements, will be tested for compliance with Reinvestment Criteria with respect to the succeeding Loan Action Date.
(d) The Depositor, the Servicer, and the Issuer hereby confirm and agree that each Renewal Loan constitutes “proceeds” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(64) of the New York UCC) of the Loan subjected to a Renewal. The Issuer does hereby authorize the Servicer and Subservicers on the Issuer’s behalf to effect Renewals of Loans and, with respect to each Renewal, to elect whether to effect a Renewal Loan Replacement or to elect to receive the Terminated Loan Price; provided, that, the Servicer shall not take any action that would cause the Depositor or the Issuer to violate the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement. During the Revolving Period, the Depositor hereby agrees to, and immediately upon any Renewal Loan Replacement being effected and without further action hereby does, sell, transfer, assign, sets-over and otherwise convey, automatically and without further action, all of its rights as described in Section 2.01 above to each such Renewal Loan (to the extent not previously conveyed) to the Issuer. Such assignment shall be effective as of the date such on the date on which a Renewal Loan Replacement is effected, which shall also be the Addition Date with respect to such Renewal Loan.
(e) On or prior to the Business Day following the date on which a Renewal Loan Replacement is effected, the Seller will be required under the Transaction Documents to mark its electronic records to indicate that the related Renewal Loan has been conveyed to the Depositor. In connection with each Renewal Loan Replacement, the Seller and the Depositor will be required, within two (2) Business Days of the date of such Renewal Loan Replacement, to deliver to the Depositor and the Issuer the Renewal File.
Section 2.09 Optional Purchase and Optional Call. (a) On any Business Day occurring on or after the date on which the Aggregate Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes is reduced to 10% or less of the Initial Note Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase all of the Sold Assets at a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price in accordance with Section 8.08(a) of the Indenture (an “Optional Purchase”). If the Servicer elects to exercise such Optional Purchase, it shall comply with all applicable conditions set forth in Sections 8.08(a) and (c) of the Indenture. Upon proper exercise of such Optional Purchase and deposit of the Redemption Price into the Principal Distribution Account and the Collection Account in accordance with Section 8.08(c) of the Indenture, all of the Sold Assets to be sold in connection with such Optional Purchase shall be sold to the Servicer. Such Redemption Price shall be applied to the Notes in accordance with the provisions for the redemption of such Notes on the applicable Redemption Date as set forth in the Indenture.
(b) At any time on or after the date on which the Loans and related Sold Assets are released from the lien of the Indenture in connection with an Optional Call pursuant to Section
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 11
8.05(i) of the Indenture, such Loans and related Sold Assets may be sold, distributed, transferred or otherwise disposed of at the direction of the Depositor in its sole discretion.
Section 2.10 Optional Reassignment of Loans. (a) Subject to Sections 8.05 and 8.07 of the Indenture, on any Loan Action Date occurring during the Revolving Period, the Servicer (at the direction of the Depositor or, in the case of 2024-2A SUBI Loans, the Initial Beneficiary), at its sole option, may require reassignment (or reallocation, as applicable) from the Issuer of its interests in Loans that were not Charged-Off Loans or Delinquent Loans, in each case, as of the end of the immediately preceding Collection Period; provided, that the Servicer shall select such Loans in a manner that the Issuer and the Servicer reasonably believe is not materially adverse to the interests of any Class of Noteholders. Any such Loans shall be reassigned to the Depositor (or in the case of any 2024-2A SUBI Loan, reallocated from the 2024-2A SUBI) for the Reassignment Price applicable to such Loans, such Reassignment Price to be paid (i) with respect to Reassigned Loans other than 2024-2A SUBI Loans, for so long as the Depositor is the holder of the Trust Certificate, and at the Depositor’s option, by an adjustment to the value of the Trust Certificate, if such adjustment is available, in which case the Issuer will not receive a cash payment; provided, that no adjustment to the value of the Trust Certificate shall cause non-compliance with Regulation RR) or (ii) otherwise, in immediately available funds to the Servicer (to be deposited in the Principal Distribution Account). Neither the Servicer (on behalf of the Depositor or the Initial Beneficiary, as applicable) nor the Depositor shall cause any such reassignment (or reallocation, as applicable) to occur on any Loan Action Date unless: (x) (i) no Reinvestment Criteria Event is outstanding and (ii) the reassignment of such Loans constitutes a Permitted Reassignment, in each case, after giving effect to all Loan Actions that occur on such Loan Action Date and (y) the Reassignment Price shall have been paid as described above. No such reassignment may cause the Issuer to breach or otherwise violate any provision of the Indenture.
(b) To cause any such reassignment or reallocation, as applicable, of Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any reassignment of any Loan in connection with a Renewal), the Servicer (on behalf of the Depositor or, in the case of 2024-2A SUBI Loans, the Initial Beneficiary) shall take the following actions and make the following determinations:
(i) on or before the Monthly Determination Date relating to the Loan Action Date on which such reassignment or reallocation, as applicable, is to occur (such Loan Action Date, the “Reassignment Date”), furnish to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency a written notice specifying the Loans which are expected to be reassigned from the Issuer or reallocated from the 2024-2A SUBI, as applicable;
(ii) on or prior to the applicable Reassignment Date, the Servicer shall supplement the Loan Schedule by delivering to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee a computer file or microfiche or written list (which may be in electronic form, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) containing a true and complete list of the Loans that are to be reassigned or reallocated, as applicable, on such Reassignment Date, specifying for each such Loan, its loan number, Loan Principal Balance and the Subservicer, in each case as of the end of the Collection Period immediately preceding the Collection Period in which such Reassignment Date occurs; and
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 12
(iii) represent and warrant that the list of Loans delivered pursuant to clause (ii), as of the Reassignment Date, is true and complete in all material respects.
Within five (5) Business Days after the applicable Reassignment Date of a Loan (other than a 2024-2A SUBI Loan), the Issuer shall deliver to the Depositor a Loan Reassignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C, together with any appropriate UCC releases or termination statements prepared and filed on behalf of the Issuer.
Section 2.11 Optional Sale of Charged-Off Loans; Terminated Loan Price Deposits. The Servicer (or any Affiliate of the Servicer) may undertake to locate a third party purchaser that is not affiliated with the initial Servicer, any of its Affiliates, the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuer to purchase from the Issuer any Charged-Off Loans, and shall have the right to direct the Issuer to sell any such Loans to such third party purchaser; provided that all recoveries and other amounts collected by the Issuer, the Depositor or the Servicer (or any Affiliate of the Servicer) with respect to any Charged-Off Loan (including proceeds of any disposition by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof to any third party) in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy shall be paid to the Issuer, by deposit in the Collection Account.
In connection with any Renewal that does not constitute a Renewal Loan Replacement, on the day on which the Seller pays the Terminated Loan Price with respect to the Terminated Loan in immediately available funds to the Servicer pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement, for deposit into the Collection Account, the Servicer shall deposit such amounts in immediately available funds into such account on such date. The Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a Loan Reassignment in substantially the form of Exhibit C, together with any appropriate UCC releases or termination statements.
Section 2.12 Issuer Loan Exclusions. Subject to the conditions specified in, and in accordance with, Section 8.07 of the Indenture and the further conditions specified in this Section 2.12, on any Loan Action Date during the Revolving Period, the Servicer (at the direction of the Depositor or the Initial Beneficiary, as applicable) may require the Issuer to designate one or more Loans included in the Sold Assets (or in the case of the 2024-2A SUBI, one or more 2024-2A SUBI Loans) as an Excluded Loan or cause one or more Loans included in the Sold Assets (or in the case of the 2024-2A SUBI, one or more 2024-2A SUBI Loans) to cease to be designated as an Excluded Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, until such time as an Excluded Loan ceases to be so designated, it shall not be included in the Loan Action Date Loan Pool on any Loan Action Date (including the Loan Action Date on which it is designated as an Excluded Loan, but excluding the Loan Action Date on which it is de-designated as such) or taken into account for purposes of determining whether or not a Reinvestment Criteria Event has occurred as of the end of the Collection Period preceding any such Loan Action Date, but it shall otherwise continue to constitute a Sold Asset (or in the case of the 2024-2A SUBI, a 2024-2A SUBI Loan) and all Collections in respect thereof during any Collection Period shall constitute Available Funds on the corresponding Payment Date. The designation of a Loan or 2024-2A SUBI Loan as an Excluded Loan shall be effected by the delivery by the Depositor (or the Servicer on its behalf) to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on or before the Monthly Determination Date relating to applicable Loan Action Date of a report identifying each such expected Loan (by loan number and Seller and Subservicer) as an Excluded Loan. The Excluded Loans outstanding from time to time for any
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 13
Loan Action Date shall be identified as such on each Loan Schedule delivered on the Monthly Determination Date relating to such Loan Action Date. On any Loan Action Date during the Revolving Period, an Excluded Loan may be de-designated as such by the delivery by the Depositor (or the Servicer on its behalf) to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on or before the Monthly Determination Date relating to such Loan Action Date of a report identifying each such expected Loan (by loan number and Seller and Subservicer) as ceasing to be designated as an Excluded Loan. No Excluded Loan may be de-designated as such on any Loan Action Date unless such Loan would constitute an Eligible Loan as of the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period immediately preceding such Loan Action Date if such last day were deemed to be such Loan’s Cut-Off Date.
Section 2.13 Investment Company Act Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Depositor and the Issuer hereby acknowledge and agree that neither the Depositor nor the Issuer shall, and neither shall be required to, acquire any additional Loans (or, in the case of North Carolina Loans, beneficial interests therein) or related assets, or purchase, repurchase, reassign or otherwise dispose of any Loans (or, in the case of North Carolina Loans, beneficial interests therein) or related assets pursuant to this Agreement, for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses for the Depositor or the Issuer as a result of market value changes.
Article III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF LOANS
Section 3.01 Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to the Servicer. (a) The Issuer and the North Carolina Trust authorizes Regional Management to act as initial Servicer (but without transfer to Regional Management of the Issuer’s right to service the Loans) and Regional Management agrees to act as the initial Servicer, in each case hereunder.
(b) The Servicer shall service and administer the Loans, shall collect and deposit into the Collection Account or other applicable Note Account amounts received under the Loans, shall charge off Loans deemed to be uncollectible and shall extend, amend or otherwise modify Loans, all in accordance with its customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing consumer loans comparable to the Loans and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and all applicable Requirements of Law. The Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it hereunder and under the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement, including the Subservicers, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 8.01, the Servicer or its designee is hereby authorized and empowered, unless such power is revoked by the Indenture Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Servicer Default pursuant to Section 8.01, (i) to make withdrawals or to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make or cause to be made withdrawals from any Note Account permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Indenture and (ii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 14
Issuer any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, to effect, on behalf of the Issuer and the North Carolina Trust with respect to Loans (including Renewal Loans) in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement and after the delinquency of any Loan and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, to commence collection proceedings with respect to such Loans. The Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any documents reasonably requested by the Servicer or otherwise necessary to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that none of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such documents by the Servicer or any of its agents and the Servicer shall hold the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee harmless against any losses, claims, damages, fines or penalties of any nature incurred in connection therewith.
(c) The Servicer shall pay out of its own funds, without payment or reimbursement therefor (except as provided in Section 3.02 hereof), all fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with the servicing activities hereunder and under the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement, including expenses related to enforcement of the Loans.
(d) The Servicer shall not be required to use separate servicing operations, offices, employees or accounts for servicing the Loans from the operations, offices, employees and accounts used by the Servicer in connection with servicing other consumer loans.
(e) The Servicer shall: (i) not amend any related Contract other than on a per customer basis in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy; (ii) comply, in all material respects, with the terms and conditions of the related Contracts; and (iii) promptly inform the Issuer, and the Depositor of any material billing errors, claims, disputes or litigation with respect to the related Loans.
Section 3.02 Servicing Compensation. As full compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and as reimbursement for its expenses as set forth in the immediately following paragraph, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee payable in arrears on each Payment Date on or prior to the termination of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement. The “Servicing Fee” for any Payment Date and the related Collection Period shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) 4.75%, (ii) the aggregate Loan Principal Balance as of the first day of such Collection Period, (iii) one-twelfth. The Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer solely to the extent that amounts are available for payment in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (including by the Servicer retaining Collections in an amount up to the aggregate accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee). For the avoidance of doubt, such Servicing Fee shall also constitute compensation for the Servicer’s services rendered pursuant to the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement and related North Carolina Trust Documents.
The Servicer’s fees, costs and expenses include the reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, independent accountants and all other fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with its activities hereunder, including, without limitation, any fees payable to any Subservicer or any other Person performing any of the Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder. The Servicer shall be required to pay such fees, costs and expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment or reimbursement therefor or to any fee
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 15
or other payment from, or claim on, any of the assets in the Trust Estate (other than the Servicing Fee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Successor Servicer will be responsible to pay the fees and expenses of the Issuer.
The Issuer and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that (i) the servicing arrangements provided for in this Agreement and under the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement, including the Servicing Fee, are on terms consistent with those arrived at as a result of arm’s length negotiations and that they are typical of servicing arrangements made for servicing assets such as the Loans, (ii) the Servicing Fee is expected to more than cover the anticipated costs associated with the performance by the Servicer of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans, other Sold Assets and the other 2024-2A SUBI Assets, and constitutes fair consideration and reasonable compensation to the Servicer for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) an unaffiliated third party having the requisite experience servicing assets such as the Loans would be willing to assume the servicing obligations hereunder for compensation commensurate with the Servicing Fee.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and so long as no Early Amortization Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent Collections are projected to be sufficient to pay all amounts payable under Section 8.06 of the Indenture on the following Payment Date, the Servicer may retain from such Collections an amount up to the Servicing Fee payable on such Payment Date (the “Servicing Fee Advance”) on any Business Day. In connection with retaining any amounts attributable to the Servicing Fee Advance from the Collections in accordance with this Section 3.02, the Servicer shall be deemed to represent that the remaining Collections are reasonably sufficient to pay all amounts payable under Section 8.06 of the Indenture on such Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicing Fee Advance is part of and not in addition to the Servicing Fee.
During the Revolving Period, so long as no Reinvestment Criteria Event was outstanding as of the most recent Payment Date, the Servicer may retain from the Collection Account, amounts with respect to each Collection Period not to exceed in the aggregate the lesser of (i) the Principal Collections received during such Collection Period and (ii) the aggregate Purchase Prices owed (but not yet due) by the Issuer to the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in respect of Renewal Loans in connection with any Renewal Loan Replacements effected during such Collection Period, provided that the Servicer shall, no later than the Payment Date relating to the Collection Period in which such Renewal Loan Replacement occurred, remit each such amount to the Depositor on behalf of the Issuer to pay the Purchase Price due to the Depositor in respect of any such Renewal Loan.
Section 3.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Servicer and each Subservicer. The Servicer, each Subservicer and any Successor Servicer by its appointment hereunder hereby makes, with respect to itself only, on the Closing Date (or on the date of the appointment of such Successor Servicer) and on each Addition Date, the following representations, warranties and covenants on which each of (x) the Issuer shall be deemed to rely in accepting its interest in the Loans, (y) the Back-up Servicer shall be deemed to have relied in accepting its appointment as Back-up Servicer under the Back-up Servicing Agreement, and (z) the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have relied in accepting the grant of a security interest in the Loans and in entering into the Indenture:

(k) Credit and Collection Policy.

In the event any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer or any Subservicer contained in paragraphs (h), (i) or (j) of this Section 3.03 with respect to any Loan is breached (the “Applicable Representations”), which breach materially adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in such Loan, and is not cured within forty-five (45) days from the first date on which the Servicer or the breaching Subservicer either (y) is notified by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer (with respect to any Subservicer), the North Carolina Trustees or the Depositor of such breach, or (z) discovered such breach, then any Loan or Loans to which such event relates shall be assigned and transferred to the Servicer (or, in the case of the 2024-2A SUBI Loans, reallocated at the direction of the Servicer) on the terms and conditions set forth below.
The Servicer shall effect such assignment or reallocation, as applicable, by making a deposit into the Collection Account or other applicable Note Account in immediately available funds not later than the Payment Date immediately following the Collection Period in which such
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 18
forty-five day period expired in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price of the affected Loans as of the date of such deposit. The obligation of the Servicer to accept reassignment, reallocation or assignment of such Loans, and to make the deposits, if any, required to be made to the Collection Account or other applicable Note Account as provided in the preceding paragraph, shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Issuer, the Depositor, the North Carolina Trust, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee with respect to a breach of such Applicable Representations, except as provided in Section 6.04.
Upon each such assignment to, reallocation or purchase by the Servicer, the Issuer shall automatically and without further action sell, transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Servicer, without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in and to such Loans, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof.

(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, in the case of Convenience Checks, in physical or electronic form) or (ii) with respect to each Loan originated (including Renewal Loans) in electronic form, in electronic form in the Electronic Vault, provided that if a contract is Exported from the Electronic Vault, the Custodian shall hold such Contract in physical form in accordance with its customary servicing practices.

In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its customary servicing practices. The Servicer will promptly
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 21
report to the Issuer, the 2024-2A 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, but not including any Convenience Checks) 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 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 2024-2/Regional Management NC Receivables Trust, solely with respect to 2024-2A 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 2024-2A 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 Servicer, it shall (i) notify the Electronic Vault Provider of the transfer of servicing responsibilities to the Back-up Servicer as Successor Servicer and, within this notice, reconfirm to the Electronic Vault Provider of the Electronic Vault Provider’s continued
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 22
appointment as the “designated custodian” for the limited purpose of exercising control (within the meaning of Section 9-105(b) of the UCC and under UETA and E-SIGN, as each such term is hereinafter defined) over the Electronic Contracts for Secured Party within the meaning of Section 9-105(b)(3) of the UCC, 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.

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.

Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Back-up Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. No resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer (which shall be the Back-up Servicer unless the Back-up Servicer is the resigning Servicer) or the Indenture Trustee shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof, the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement and the Indenture (other than in the case of the Back-up Servicer, any such duty or obligation that it is not required to assume under the express terms of the Back-up Servicing Agreement, the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement, this Agreement or the Indenture).

In the ordinary course of business (and subject to the standard of care set forth in Section 3.01), the Servicer (including any Successor Servicer) may at any time delegate its duties hereunder with respect to the Loans to any Person or enter subservicing arrangements with any Person (including the Subservicers) that agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and this Agreement. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a resignation pursuant to Section 6.05.
Section 6.08 Examination of Records. The Depositor, each Subservicer (with respect to the Loans being subserviced by it) and the Servicer shall indicate generally in their computer files or other records that the Loans have been conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the 2024-2A SUBI Supplement. Each of Depositor, each Subservicer and the Servicer shall, prior to the sale or transfer to a third party of any loan held in its custody, examine its computer records and other records to determine that such loan is not, and does not include, a Loan. Upon such examination and conclusion that such loan is not, and does not include, a Loan, the Depositor, each Subservicer and the Servicer shall be free to sell, transfer or otherwise assign such loan.
Section 6.09 Servicer Power of Attorney. The Issuer and the North Carolina Trust hereby authorize the Servicer acting alone or through an Affiliate, including the Subservicers, to execute, deliver and perform any and all agreements, documents or certificates as the Issuer may be requested or required by the Issuer or the North Carolina Trust, as applicable, to undertake in connection with enforcing its rights as the legal title holder to the Loans. In connection with the enforcement of any rights of the Issuer or the North Carolina Trust, as applicable, with respect to any Loan, the Issuer or the North Carolina Trust, as applicable, shall furnish the Servicer or Subservicers, as applicable, with a power of attorney (substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto) and any other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to enforce such rights on behalf of the Issuer.

Article VIII
SERVICER DEFAULTS
Section 8.01 Servicer Defaults. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to make any required payment, transfer or deposit or to give instructions or notice to the Indenture Trustee to make or cause to be made such payment, transfer or deposit on or before 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 Agreement, the Indenture, the 2024-2A SUBI Supplement, or the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement, in an aggregate amount exceeding $50,000, and which failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given by registered or certified mail to the Servicer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Required Noteholders and (ii) the actual knowledge of the Servicer thereof;
(b) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, the Indenture, the 2024-2A SUBI Supplement or the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the 2024-2A SUBI Supplement, the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, which failure has a material adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders (as determined by the Threshold Noteholders) and which continues unremedied for a period of forty-five (45) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given by registered or certified mail to the Servicer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Threshold Noteholders and (ii) the actual knowledge of the Servicer thereof;
(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement, the Indenture, the 2024-2A SUBI Supplement or the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Indenture, the 2024-2A SUBI Supplement or the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made or deemed made and such failure has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders (as determined by the Threshold Noteholders) and which continues unremedied
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 30
for a period of forty-five (45) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which a notice specifying such incorrect representation or warranty and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given by registered or certified mail to the Servicer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee by the Threshold Noteholders and (ii) the actual knowledge of the Servicer thereof; or
(d) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer;
then, in the event of any Servicer Default, so long as a Servicer Default is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may (and upon the written direction of the Required Noteholders shall), by notice then given to the Servicer, the Issuer, the North Carolina Trust and the Back-up Servicer (a “Termination Notice”) (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement, the 2024-2A SUBI Supplement, the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement and the Indenture and (ii) direct the applicable party to terminate any power of attorney granted to the Servicer or any Subservicer and direct such party to execute a new power of attorney to the Indenture Trustee or its designee. The existence of a Servicer Default may be waived with the consent of the Required Noteholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under paragraph (a) above for an additional period of five (5) Business Days after the applicable grace period or referred to under paragraph (b) or (c) above for a period of forty-five (45) days after the applicable grace period, shall not constitute a Servicer Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by a Force Majeure Event. If, following the expiration of such incremental forty-five (45) day grace period in the case of a delay or failure of performance described in paragraph (b) or (c) above, the applicable delay or failure of performance remains outstanding but the Servicer continues to work diligently to remedy such delay or failure of performance, then the grace period shall be extended for a further thirty (30) days upon notice from the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee. The preceding sentences will not relieve the Servicer from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Depositor with an Officer’s Certificate giving prompt notice of such failure or delay, together with a description of its efforts so to perform its obligations.
After receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, and effective on the Servicing Transfer Date, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer (a “Servicing Transfer”) appointed by the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Required Noteholders if the Successor Servicer is not the Back-up Servicer or the Indenture Trustee) pursuant to Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered (upon the failure of the Servicer to cooperate promptly) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of the 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 Servicing Transfer. The Servicer agrees to reasonably cooperate and to cause each Subservicer to reasonably cooperate (and each Subservicer agrees to cooperate) with the Indenture Trustee and such Successor Servicer in (i) effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder and (ii) transferring
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 31
all duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder to such Successor Servicer, including the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service and administer the Loans provided for under this Agreement, including all authority over all Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the Servicer for deposit, or which have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection Account or other applicable Note Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Loans, and in assisting the Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer all its electronic records relating to the Loans, together with all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing and administration of the Loans in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be allowed to retain a copy of all records, correspondence and documents provided to the Successor Servicer in compliance with the Servicer’s recordkeeping policies or Requirements of Law. 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 the Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer deems to be confidential or give the Successor Servicer access to software or other intellectual property, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem reasonably necessary to protect its interests.
Section 8.02 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 8.01, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement and the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement until the earlier of (i) the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Indenture Trustee and (ii) the Servicing Transfer Date. The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint (at the written direction of the Required Noteholders in the case of a Successor Servicer that is not the Back-up Servicer or the Indenture Trustee) an Eligible Servicer (which shall be the Back-up Servicer unless the Back-up Servicer is then acting as the Servicer) as a successor Servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may delegate any of its servicing obligations to an Affiliate or agent in accordance with Section 3.01(b) and Section 6.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it is legally unable or unwilling so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder and under the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice to each Rating Agency upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer.
(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and the 2024-2A SUBI Servicing Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof (other than in the case of the Back-up Servicer, any such responsibility, duty or liability that it is not required to assume under the terms of this Agreement, the Back-up Servicing Agreement or the 2024-2A SUBI
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 32
Servicing Agreement), and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer (including 2024-2A SUBI Servicer) shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer.
Within five (5) Business Days after the Servicer becomes aware of any Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give notice thereof to the Issuer, the 2024-2A SUBI Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to the Noteholders.
Section 8.03 Rule 15Ga-1 Compliance. (a) To the extent a Responsible Officer of the Successor Servicer receives a demand for the repurchase of a Loan based on a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller (or, with respect to the 2024-2A SUBI Loans, the Servicer) of such Loan (each, a “Demand”), the Successor Servicer agrees (i) if such Demand is in writing, promptly to forward such Demand to the Depositor, and (ii) if such Demand is oral, to instruct the requesting party to submit such Demand in writing to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor.
(b) In connection with the repurchase of a Loan pursuant to a Demand, any dispute with respect to a Demand, or the withdrawal or final rejection of a Demand, the Successor Servicer agrees, to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Successor Servicer has actual knowledge thereof, promptly to notify the Depositor in writing.
(c) The Successor Servicer will (i) notify the Depositor, as soon as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the receipt thereof and in the manner set forth in Exhibit F hereof, of all Demands and provide to the Depositor any other information reasonably requested to facilitate compliance by it with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, and (ii) if requested in writing by the Depositor, provide a written certification no later than fifteen (15) days following any calendar quarter or calendar year that the Successor Servicer has not received any Demands for such period, or if Demands have been received during such period, that the Successor Servicer has provided all the information reasonably requested under clause (i) above with respect to such demands. For purposes of this Agreement, references to any calendar quarter shall mean the related preceding calendar quarter ending in March, June, September, or December, as applicable. The Successor Servicer has no duty or obligation to undertake any investigation or inquiry related to any repurchases of Loans, or otherwise assume any additional duties or responsibilities, other than those express duties or responsibilities the Successor Servicer has hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, and no such additional obligations or duties are otherwise implied by the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor has full responsibility for compliance with all related reporting requirements associated with the transaction completed by the Transaction Documents and for all interpretive issues regarding this information.
The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Depositor and the Servicer (each, a “Regional Party” and, collectively, the “Regional Parties”) with (i) notification, as soon as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days, of all demands communicated in writing to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee for the repurchase or replacement of any Loan pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable and (ii) promptly upon receipt by a Responsible Officer of written request by a Regional Party, any other information reasonably requested by such Regional Party to facilitate compliance by the Regional Parties with
SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (RMIT 2024-2) - Page 33
Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, and Items 1104(e) and 1121(c) of Regulation AB. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be deemed to be a “securitizer” as defined in Section 15G(a) of the Exchange Act, nor shall it have any responsibility for making any filing to be made by a securitizer under the Exchange Act or Regulation AB.

Carolina Trust, the Depositor and the Issuer by a written instrument signed by each of them, but without the consent of the Noteholders, upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notice Requirement with respect to such amendment (without anything further) as may be necessary or advisable in order (a) to avoid the imposition of any withholding taxes or state or local income or franchise taxes imposed on the Issuer’s property or its income or (b) to amend the Intercreditor Agreement, including but not limited to adding and/or removing one or more Intercreditor Accounts.

(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders (if required) under this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
(f) Any amendment hereunder which affects the rights, duties, immunities or liabilities of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall require the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, written consent.
