ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF RECEIVABLES AND RELATED SECURITY

Section 2.01 Appointment of Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 2.01. Until the Trustee gives notice to Conn Appliances of the designation of a new Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.01, Conn Appliances is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Servicer may not delegate any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder, or designate a substitute Servicer, without the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Receivables Trust; provided, however, that the Servicer shall be permitted to delegate its duties hereunder to any of its Affiliates and may use subservicers, contractors or agents but will remain obligated and liable for the performance of any such delegated duties as if it were performing such duties itself.

(b) (i) After the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Trustee may, and upon the direction of the Required Noteholders or in the case of a Specified Servicer Default shall, in accordance with the provisions set forth in clause (ii) below, appoint the Back-Up Servicer pursuant to the Back-Up Servicing Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Back-Up Servicing Agreement”), among the Back-Up Servicer and the various other parties thereto or any other successor servicer (SST, or any other successor servicer so appointed in accordance with the terms of Section 2.01(b)(ii) below, in such capacity, the “Successor Servicer”) to succeed to Conn Appliances as Servicer hereunder.

(ii) If (x) the Back-Up Servicer, on the date of its appointment as Successor Servicer or at any time following such appointment, fails or is unable to perform the duties of the Servicer hereunder or has previously resigned or otherwise been terminated as Back-Up Servicer, or (y) any other Person designated Successor Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.01 resigns, fails or is unable to perform the duties of the Servicer hereunder following its appointment as Successor Servicer, the Trustee may with the consent of the Required Noteholders, and upon the direction of the Required Noteholders shall, appoint as Servicer any Person to succeed the then-current Servicer on the condition in each case that any such Person so appointed shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Until such time as the Person so appointed becomes obligated to begin acting as Servicer hereunder, the then current Servicer will continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement and the other Servicer Transaction Documents. If the Trustee is not able to appoint a new Servicer to succeed Conn Appliances, the Back-Up Servicer or any other Person then acting as Servicer, within a reasonable time following the date upon which it is required to so appoint a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.01 (but in any event not later than 30 days following such date), the Trustee shall at the expense of the Issuer (as Certificateholder of the Receivables Trust) petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint as the Servicer hereunder any established financial institution having, a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of receivables comparable to the Receivables which are the subject of this Agreement. Following any appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.01, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Issuer, the Receivables Trust, the Depository, the Depositor and the Noteholders.

(c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any differential between the Servicing Fee and any compensation paid to a Successor Servicer hereunder.

Section 2.02 Duties of Servicer.

(a) (i) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies and otherwise in accordance with the Servicer Transaction Documents. Each of the Receivables Trust, Issuer (as Certificateholder of the Receivables Trust), each Noteholder by its acceptance of the related Notes and each of the other Secured Parties, hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Contracts, Receivables and Related Security, Collections and proceeds with respect thereto. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Receivables Trust and Conn Appliances (to the extent not then acting as Servicer hereunder) hereby grants to any Servicer appointed hereunder all rights and powers of the Receivables Trust and/or Conn Appliances, as the case may be, under the Contracts and with respect to the Related Security, and hereby grants an irrevocable power of attorney to take in the Receivables Trust’s and/or Conn Appliances’ name and on behalf of the Receivables Trust or Conn Appliances any and all steps necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Servicer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, to cancel any policy of insurance, make demands for unearned premiums, commence enforcement proceedings, exercise other powers under a Contract, execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or full or partial discharge, with respect to Receivables, endorse the Receivables Trust’s, the Issuer’s and/or Conn Appliances’ name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforce such Receivables and the related Contracts. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to Conn Appliances any collections of any Indebtedness of any Person which is not on account of a Receivable. The Servicer shall not voluntarily make the Receivables Trust, the Issuer, the Trustee, any Noteholder or any of their respective agents a party to any litigation without the prior written consent of such Person other than any litigation adverse to such person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 2.04, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered unless such power and authority is revoked in writing by the Trustee (as designee of the Receivables Trust) pursuant to the terms of the Servicer Transaction Documents (A) to make deposits into the Collection Account as set forth in this Agreement and the Indenture; provided, however, that with respect to any Successor Servicer, nothing contained in any Servicer Transaction Document shall impose an obligation on such Successor Servicer to make any withdrawals or payments from the Collection Account or any other Trust Account, (B) to instruct the Trustee in writing, substantially in the form of the Monthly Servicer Report, to make deposits or withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account, the Payment Account and any Series Account, in accordance with such instructions as set forth in the Indenture, (C) to instruct or notify the Trustee in writing as set forth in this Agreement and, the Indenture, (D) to make all calculations, allocations and determinations required of the Servicer under the Indenture and as required herein or to establish Series Accounts, (E) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Receivables Trust for the benefit of the Issuer and the Noteholders, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and the other Contracts and Related Security and, after any delinquency in payment relating to any Receivable, to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, to commence enforcement proceedings with respect thereto (including cancellation of the related insurance policy) and (F) in the case of the initial Servicer only, to make any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and to seek any consents or authorizations from, the Securities and Exchange Commission and any state securities authority on behalf of the Issuer as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any federal or state securities or reporting requirements.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.02(a)(ii), the Servicer shall maintain custody and possession of the Receivable Files on behalf of, and as bailee for, the Receivables Trust (for the benefit of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties) (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Custodian”).

(iii) To the extent the Servicer has any duty or obligation to title or re-title the Receivables, the Servicer shall ensure that title is properly reflected in the name of Conn’s Receivables 2018-A Trust.

(A) Custodian agrees to maintain possession of the related Receivable Files at its offices where they are presently maintained, at the offices of the related subcustodians or at such other offices of Custodian as shall from time to time be identified to Trustee by written notice. Custodian shall segregate physical Receivable Files from other files maintained by Custodian and shall, to the extent a Receivable File is stored in electronic format, maintain an authoritative electronic copy of each Receivable File on a data tape or other electronic media in a fire-resistant safe or room. The Receivables Trust hereby appoints Conn Appliances, and Conn Appliances hereby agrees to act, as initial Custodian hereunder. Custodian may, at the Servicer’s request, temporarily deliver individual Receivable Files or any portion thereof to Servicer without notice as necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies.

(B) As custodian and bailee, Custodian shall hold the Receivable Files (by itself and/or through subcustodians) on behalf of the Receivables Trust (for the benefit of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties) and, by agreeing to act as Custodian, is deemed to have received notice of the security interests of the Secured Parties in the Contracts and related Receivables. As custodian and bailee, Custodian shall maintain accurate records pertaining to each Receivable to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, maintain a current inventory thereof and conduct periodic physical inspections of Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement and attend to all other details in connection with maintaining custody of the Receivable Files.

(C) In performing its duties under this Section 2.02(a)(ii), Custodian agrees to act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and care that it exercises with respect to similar contracts owned and/or serviced by it. Custodian shall promptly report to the Receivables Trust and the Trustee any material failure by it to hold the Receivable Files as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy such failure. In acting as custodian of the Receivable Files, Custodian agrees further not to assert, and shall cause each related subcustodian not to assert any beneficial ownership interests in the Receivables. Custodian agrees to indemnify the Receivables Trust, Trustee, the Secured Parties and Issuer, and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners and agents for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs, or expenses of any kind whatsoever which may be imposed on or incurred by any such Person arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Custodian in maintaining custody of the Receivable Files pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(ii); provided, however, that Custodian will not be liable to the extent that any such amount resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

(D) The appointment of Custodian shall terminate upon acceptance of the appointment of a Successor Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Successor Servicer, by acceptance of its appointment, shall become the successor Custodian. Promptly following the appointment of a successor Custodian, and in any event within five days of such appointment, the then-existing Custodian shall (at such Custodian’s sole cost and expense if a Servicer Default shall have occurred or if such Custodian shall have been removed for cause) deliver all of the Receivable Files in its possession, and all records maintained by it with respect thereto, to such successor Custodian.

(b) (i) Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables on behalf of the Receivables Trust (for the benefit of the Issuer, the Trustee and the other Secured Parties) and shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through subservicers, contractors or agents as provided in Section 2.02(b)(iii), to do any and all things which it may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration and which are consistent with this Agreement and the other Servicer Transaction Documents. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Servicer Transaction Documents, Servicer (or any agent on Servicer’s behalf) may waive, modify or vary any term of any Receivable or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner, grant indulgence to any Obligor if, in Servicer’s sole discretion, such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence will maximize collections on such Receivable; provided, however, that Servicer (or any agent on Servicer’s behalf) may not permit any modification with respect to any Receivable unless such modification is a Permitted Modification, is in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies and, in the case of any extension of the final maturity date of a Receivable, such extension does not extend beyond the Legal Final Payment Date and the total amount of extensions of such Receivables is not in excess of twenty-four months unless such extension is as a result of or required by applicable law or judicial order. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer in its own name or in the name of the Receivables Trust is hereby authorized and empowered by the Receivables Trust when Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Receivables Trust, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivable.

(ii) Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables by employing such procedures (including collection procedures) and degree of care, in each case consistent with industry standards, as are customarily employed by Servicer in servicing and administering contracts and notes owned or serviced by Servicer comparable to the Receivables.

(iii) Servicer may perform any of its duties pursuant to this Agreement, including those delegated to it pursuant to this Agreement, through subservicers, contractors or agents appointed by Servicer. Such subservicers may include Affiliates of Servicer. Notwithstanding any such delegation of a duty, Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of such duty as if Servicer were performing such duty.

(iv) Servicer may take such actions as are necessary to discharge its duties as Servicer in accordance with this Agreement, including the power to execute and deliver on behalf of Issuer such instruments and documents as may be customary, necessary or desirable in connection with the performance of Servicer’s duties under this Agreement (including consents, waivers and discharges relating to the Receivable).

(v) Servicer shall keep separate records covering the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including the identity and collection status of each Receivable.

(c) Collections. (i) On or prior to the Closing Date, initial Servicer shall have established and shall maintain thereafter the following system of collecting and processing Collections of Receivables. Servicer shall direct the Obligors to make payments of Receivables only (A) by check mailed to the Post Office Box (such payments, upon receipt in such Post Office Box being referred to herein as “Mail Payments”), (B) by cash, credit card or check delivered in person or by phone at retail stores or other business locations of initial Servicer (such payments, upon receipt by such stores, being referred to herein as “In-Store Payments”), (C) by third party money wire transfer, ACH or other xxxx pay service that provides for the electronic deposit of funds into an account of the Servicer on behalf of Obligors, (D) by utilizing the Servicer’s Webpay portal; or (E) by cash, credit card or check delivered in person or by phone or by an agent of Conn Appliances at a service center of Conn Appliances or, in the case of certain delinquent accounts, to employees of Conn Appliances operating out of a service center of Conn Appliances or Servicer (such payments, upon receipt by the service center, being referred to herein as “Field Collections”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.02(c), any Successor Servicer shall collect and process Collections of Receivables in any manner that is in accordance with the servicing standard set forth herein.

(ii) Servicer’s right of access to the Post Office Box and the Collection Account shall be revocable at the option of Trustee as designee of the Receivables Trust (acting in its own discretion or at the direction of the Required Noteholders) upon the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default or Servicer Default. In addition, after the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default or Servicer Default, Servicer agrees that it shall, upon the written request of Trustee, notify all Obligors under Receivables to make payment thereof to (i) one or more bank accounts and/or post-office boxes designated by Trustee and specified in such notice or (ii) any Successor Servicer appointed hereunder. The Trustee may, and shall at the request of the Required Noteholders, if any Default, Event of Default or Servicer Default has occurred, require the Servicer to establish a lockbox account pursuant to a lockbox agreement acceptable to the Trustee, and with notice to the Notice Person, to direct all Obligors under Receivables to make payments to such lockbox account.

(iii) Servicer shall remove or cause all Mail Payments to be removed from the Post Office Box by the close of business on each Business Day. Servicer shall process all such Mail Payments and all Field Collections on the date received by recording the amount of the payment received from the Obligor and the applicable account number. Subject to Section 5.4(a) of the Indenture, no later than the close of business on the second Business Day following the date on which Mail Payments are received in the Post Office Box or Field Collections are received by Servicer, Servicer shall deposit or cause such Mail Payments and such Field Collections to be deposited in the Collection Account. Subject to Section 5.4(a) of the Indenture, the Retailer and Servicer shall cause all In-Store Payments to be (A) processed as soon as possible after such payments are received by the Retailer or Servicer but in no event later than the Business Day after such receipt, and (B) deposited in the Collection Account no later than two Business Days following the date of such receipt. Subject to Section 5.4(a) of the Indenture, Servicer shall deposit all Recoveries into the Collection Account within two Business Days after the date of its receipt of such Recoveries.

(iv) [Reserved.]

Only Collections shall be deposited in the Collection Account. The Servicer may cause to be withdrawn from the Collection Account such amounts that have been deposited into the Collection Account in error not representing Collections or other proceeds of the Trust Estate and any amounts that are deposited by Servicer that relate to checks rejected by the Obligor’s bank for insufficient funds.

(vi) Each of Depositor, the Receivables Trust, Issuer and Servicer hereby irrevocably waive any right to set off against, or otherwise deduct from, any Collections.

(vii) The Receivables Trust, Issuer and initial Servicer hereby transfer, assign, pledge, set over and convey to Trustee all of their right, title and interest in and to the Collection Account and the other Trust Accounts.

(i) The Trustee may, at its option, or shall, at the direction of the Required Noteholders, direct that payment of all amounts payable under any Receivable be made directly to the Trustee or its designee.

(ii) The Receivables Trust shall, at the Trustee’s request, (A) assemble all of the records relating to the Receivables and other Related Security, and shall make the same available to the Trustee or its designee at a place selected by the Trustee or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Trustee and shall, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Trustee or its designee.

(iii) The Receivables Trust hereby authorizes the Trustee and the Issuer (as Certificateholder of the Receivables Trust) to take any and all steps in the Receivables Trust’s name and on behalf of the Receivables Trust necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Trustee, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Receivables Trust’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts.

(iv) Upon delivery of a Notice of Appointment (as defined in the Back-Up Servicing Agreement) to the Back-Up Servicer, Conn Appliances shall designate one or more employees acceptable to the Successor Servicer to assist the Successor Servicer with respect to In-Store Payments so long as Conn Appliances continues to accept, or the Successor Servicer permits, In-Store Payments to be made as described herein; provided, however, such employee of Conn Appliances shall in no event be deemed an employee, agent, custodian or nominee of the Successor Servicer and the Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability for any negligence or willful misconduct of such employee or for such employee’s failure to assist the Successor Servicer (including without limitation any acts or omissions unrelated to the transactions contemplated hereby). Upon the request of the Successor Servicer to the Trustee, 100% of the Noteholders may direct the Successor Servicer to designate an employee of Successor Servicer to be assigned to any or all Conn Appliances stores to oversee the collection of In-Store Payments at such stores. Each such employee shall be placed at such store at the expense of the Issuer (as Certificateholder of the Receivables Trust) at the monthly rate reflected in the SST Fee Schedule.

(b) The Successor Servicer may accept and reasonably rely on all accounting and servicing records and other documentation provided to the Successor Servicer by or at the direction of the predecessor Servicer, including documents prepared or maintained by any Originator, or previous servicer, or any party providing services related to the Contracts, the Receivables and other Related Security (collectively, “third party”). The predecessor Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the related Successor Servicer, its respective officers, employees and agents against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Successor Servicer may sustain in any way related to the negligence or willful misconduct of any third party hired by or at the direction of such predecessor Servicer, any Affiliate of such predecessor Servicer or any of their respective agents with respect to the Contracts, the Receivables and other Related Security. The Successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability (collectively, “liability”) for the acts or omissions of any such third party. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, “error”) exists in any information provided to the Successor Servicer and such errors cause or materially contribute to the Successor Servicer making or continuing any error (collectively, “continuing errors”), the Successor Servicer shall have no liability for such continuing errors; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Successor Servicer against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct or negligence in discovering or correcting any error or in the performance of its duties contemplated herein.

In the event the Successor Servicer becomes aware of errors and/or continuing errors that, in the opinion of the Successor Servicer, impair its ability to perform its obligations hereunder, the Successor Servicer shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of such errors and/or continuing errors. The Successor Servicer may undertake to reconstruct any data or records appropriate to correct such errors and/or continuing errors and to prevent future continuing errors. The Successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended from the predecessor Servicer.

Neither the Successor Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Successor Servicer shall be under any liability to the other parties hereto except as provided in this Agreement for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Successor Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties, by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or any violation of law by the Successor Servicer or such Person, as the case may be. The Successor Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Successor Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

The Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to the predecessor Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by such predecessor Servicer or other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Successor Servicer. In addition, the Successor Servicer (and in the case of clauses (A) and (C) below, if a Servicing Officer of the Successor Servicer has actual knowledge of errors, which in the reasonable opinion of the Successor Servicer impair its ability to perform its services hereunder, after reasonable inquiry), shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder or incur any liability for any act or omission, failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement for: (A) any such failure or delay that results from the Successor Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than any Person hired by the Successor Servicer, the Successor Servicer or the failure of any such other Person (including without limitation the predecessor Servicer, but excluding any Person hired by the Successor Servicer) to prepare or provide such information or other circumstances beyond the control of the Successor Servicer; (B) any act or failure to act by any third party (other than those hired by the Successor Servicer), including without limitation the predecessor Servicer, the Receivables Trust, the Issuer and the Trustee; (C) any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Successor Servicer from any third parties (other than those hired by the Successor Servicer); (D) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Contracts, the Receivables and Related Security under applicable law; (E) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to the Contracts, the Receivables and Related Security; or (F) the acts or omissions of any predecessor or successor Servicer.

The Servicer, the Issuer and the Receivables Trust agree to reasonably cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the assumption of its responsibilities and rights under this Agreement. The Servicer shall provide to the Successor Servicer all necessary servicing files and records relating to the Contracts, the Receivables and Related Security (as deemed necessary by the Successor Servicer at such time on a reasonable basis) and the initial Servicer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Successor Servicer access to and transfer of records and use by the Successor Servicer of all licenses, servicing system, software, hardware, equipment, telephony, personnel, employees, facilities or other accommodations necessary or desirable to collect the Contracts, in all cases, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable. The departing Servicer (if SST, only upon termination for cause) shall be obligated to pay the costs associated with the transfer of servicing files and records to the Successor Servicer. The Receivables Trust, the Issuer and the Trustee, and the Successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

Indemnification by the Servicer under this Article shall be paid solely by the Servicer and not from the Trust Estate, and shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the indemnifying party has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) and the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the indemnifying party, without interest.

Section 2.06 Servicer Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a Servicer default (each, a “Servicer Default”):

(a) failure by the Servicer (or, for so long as Conn Appliances is the Servicer, Conn Appliances) to make any payment, transfer or deposit under this Agreement or any other Servicer Transaction Document or to provide the Monthly Servicer Report to the Trustee to make such payment, transfer, or deposit or any withdrawal on or before the date occurring five (5) days after the date such payment, transfer or deposit is required to be made or given, as the case may be, under the terms of this Agreement or any other Servicer Transaction Document (or in the case of a payment, transfer or deposit to be made or given with respect to any Interest Period, by the related Payment Date);

(b) failure on the part of the Servicer (or, for so long as the Servicer is Conn Appliances, Conn Appliances) to duly observe or perform any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any other Servicer Transaction Document, which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee, the Receivables Trust, the Receivables Trust Trustee or the Issuer; or the Servicer shall assign its duties under this Agreement, except as permitted by Article II;

(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or any other Servicer Transaction Document or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any other Servicer Transaction Document shall prove to have been incorrect when made and which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which the Servicer has actual knowledge thereof or on which written notice thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee, the Issuer, the Receivables Trust or the Receivables Trust Trustee;

(A) The Servicer (if other than SST as successor Servicer) will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee, the Receivables Trust Trustee, the Issuer, the Receivables Trust, the Back-Up Servicer, the successor Servicer and the Noteholders, and (B) SST as successor Servicer will indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, the Receivables Trust Trustee, on behalf of the holder of the Receivables Trust Certificate, the Issuer and the Receivables Trust (in each case, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns) and each of their respective agents, officers, members and employees (each, a “Servicer Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Servicer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any claim, action, suit, loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of such Servicer’s negligence in the performance of (or failure to perform) its duties or obligations under the Servicer Transaction Documents or Servicer’s willful misconduct or breach by the Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, including any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any actual action, proceeding or claim and fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of indemnification rights; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not indemnify any Servicer Indemnified Party for any such acts or omissions attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of such Servicer Indemnified Party. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section shall be had only from the assets of the Servicer and shall not be payable from Collections except to the extent such Collections are released to the Servicer in accordance with Section 5.15 of the Indenture in respect of the Servicing Fee.

The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Servicer.

The terms of this Section 2.08 shall all be subject to the limitations on the Servicer’s rights as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 2.09 Servicing Compensation.

Section 6.02 Tax Returns. The initial Servicer, on behalf of Issuer, or the Issuer shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Noteholders and shall deliver such information to the Trustee at least five days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Noteholders.

(a) The initial Servicer will have the option to purchase (the “Optional Purchase”) the Receivables Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account) for an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price from the Issuer on any Business Day if, as of the last day of the previous Monthly Period, the Outstanding Receivables Balance has declined to 10% or less of the Outstanding Receivables Balance as of the Cut-Off Date. The Optional Purchase Price will not be less than an amount sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest then due on the Series 2018-A Notes and the aggregate unpaid Note Principal, if any, of all of the outstanding Series 2018-A Notes.

(b) Upon exercise of the Optional Purchase, the Class R Notes will receive a final distribution equal to the sum of (i) any excess of the fair market value of the Receivables on the date on which the Optional Purchase will occur over the accrued and unpaid interest then due on the Series 2018-A Notes and the aggregate unpaid principal, if any, of all of the outstanding Series 2018-A Notes plus an amount sufficient to pay (A) the Servicing Fee (including to any successor servicer) for such Payment Date and all unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to prior Payment Dates and (B) the Trustee, Receivables Trust Trustee, Back-Up Servicer and Issuer Fees and Expenses for such Payment Date and all unpaid Trustee, Receivables Trust Trustee, Back-Up Servicer and Issuer Fees and Expenses with respect to prior Payment Dates, after giving effect to the Available Funds (other than any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account) for such Payment Date and (ii) any amount on deposit in the Reserve Account on such Payment Date (before giving effect to the applicable priority of payments on such Payment Date). After such Payment Date, the Class R Noteholders will not be entitled to any additional distributions.
