CONVEYANCE OF LOANS
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, each of the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee, for the benefit of the Depositor, do hereby sell, transfer, convey, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Issuer and, solely with respect to legal title to such Loans, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, respectively, 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) in the case of the Depositor, the right to receive all Collections with respect to the Purchased Assets after the applicable Cut-Off Date, (iii) all rights of the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor
-1-
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 Reassigned Loan released to the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor in connection with any Issuer Loan Release. The foregoing does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or an assumption by the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity), the Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity), the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of any obligation of any Seller, the Depositor, the Depositor Loan Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity), 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 Loans, which shall consist of (i) cash proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, (ii) with respect to any Additional Loans (including any conveyance in connection with Renewal Loan Replacements), Collections available for such purpose under the Indenture, including funds on deposit in the Principal Distribution Account; provided, that any such consideration for an Additional Loan that is paid using Collections (including funds on deposit in the Principal Distribution Account) shall only be payable on the Payment Date immediately following (y) the Collection Period in which Renewal Loans (including any amount of Renewal Loan Advances) with respect to Renewal Loan Replacements become Additional Loans, (z) the Loan Action Date with respect to each other Additional Loan and (iii) the Trust Certificate or, so long as the Depositor is the holder of the Trust Certificate, an increase in the value thereof. In the case of any Renewal Loan Replacement, the Purchase Price payable on the applicable Payment Date in respect of the applicable Renewal Loan shall be calculated on the excess, if any, of the Loan Principal Balance of such Renewal Loan over the Terminated Loan Price of the Terminated Loan relating to such Renewal Loan, in each case, at the time of the Renewal. Any portion of the Purchase Price for any Loan that is not paid in cash shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Issuer.
(c) The Depositor, on behalf of itself and the Depositor Loan Trustee, 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 each of the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, in each case 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 the Issuer Loan Trustee and, in the case of amendments to financing statements, as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee. 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 the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and their 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 and the Issuer Loan Trustee.
-2-
(d) On or prior to the Closing Date or the relevant Addition Date, as applicable, the Depositor shall xxxx its electronic records with respect to each Loan sold hereunder with a designation to indicate that the Loans and the related Sold Assets have been sold to the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer under this Agreement and a security interest therein granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. In connection with any Renewal of a Loan with respect to Renewal Loan Replacements, such marking of the electronic records shall include recordation of the loan number for the original Loan subject to such Renewal in the electronic 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 an electronic 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 Principal Distribution Account pursuant to Section 2.11), such entries may be removed consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy.
(e) The Depositor, on behalf of itself and the Depositor Loan Trustee, shall deliver to the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee a Loan Schedule, together with the Initial Loan Assignment, on the Closing Date identifying the Loans sold by the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor to the Issuer and the Issuer Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer on the Closing Date. In addition, the Depositor on behalf of itself and the Depositor Loan Trustee 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 and the Issuer Loan Trustee, an updated Loan Schedule (i) including (A) all Loans that were included in Sold Assets at the close of business on the last day of the immediately preceding Collection Period (other than any Loans identified in clause (ii) below) and (B) all Additional Loans acquired by the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer from the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee in connection with an Additional Loan Assignment on the Addition Date occurring on the immediately preceding Loan Action Date, but (ii) excluding any Loans acquired by the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor from the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee in connection with any optional reassignment of Loans on any Document Delivery Date preceding such Monthly Determination Date. Such Loan Schedule will also separately identify each Loan that is designated as an Excluded Loan as of such Monthly Determination Date.
(f) The parties intend that the transfer of the Sold Assets to the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer by the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of 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 each of the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor hereby grants to the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of 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 and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit 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, the Issuer Loan Trustee and their 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 Purchased Assets.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Issuer and Issuer Loan Trustee. (a) Each of the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer hereby acknowledge its acceptance of all right, title and interest to the Sold Assets purchased by, and conveyed to, the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01. Each of the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee 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.

The Issuer agrees to take such measures as shall be reasonably requested by the Depositor to protect and maintain the security and confidentiality of such information and, in connection therewith, shall allow the Depositor or its duly authorized representatives to inspect the Owner Trustee’s security and confidentiality arrangements as they specifically relate to the administration of the Issuer from time to time during normal business hours upon prior written notice.
(c) The Issuer shall not create, assume or incur indebtedness or other liabilities in the name of the Issuer other than as expressly contemplated in the Trust Agreement, this Agreement and the Indenture.

-17-

No such reassignment may cause the Issuer to breach or otherwise violate any provision of the Indenture.
(b) To reassign Loans, the Depositor (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall take the following actions and make the following determinations:
(i) on or before the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Loan Action Date, furnish to the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency a written notice specifying (A) the Loans which are expected to be reassigned from the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer to the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor and (B) the Document Delivery Date on which such reassignment of such Loans is to occur (in each case, the “Reassignment Date”); and
(ii) represent and warrant that the list of Loans delivered in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Reassignment as provided below, as of the Reassignment Date, is true and complete in all material respects.
In addition, it is understood and agreed that the Depositor’s payment of the Reassignment Price as described in Section 2.10(a) above (including, in the case of clause (a)(ii), the Servicer’s deposit of immediately available funds into the Principal Distribution Account) is a precondition to any reassignment pursuant to this Section 2.10. As soon as practicable, but in any event no later than the fifth Business Day following the Reassignment Date, the Issuer shall deliver to each of the Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor a Loan Reassignment in substantially the form of Exhibit C along with a computer file or microfiche or written list (which may be in electronic form, acceptable to the Depositor) containing a true and complete list of loans which are being reassigned, specifying for each Loan, as of the Reassignment Date, its loan number, Loan Principal Balance and the related Seller and Subservicer, or Servicer, as applicable, together with any appropriate UCC releases or termination statements prepared and filed on behalf of the Issuer.

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 Depositor may require the Issuer, together with the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, to designate one or more Loans included in the Sold Assets as an Excluded Loan or cause one or more Loans included in the Sold Assets 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 and all Collections in respect thereof during any Collection Period shall constitute Available Funds on the corresponding Payment Date. The designation of a Loan as an Excluded Loan shall be effected by the delivery by the Depositor (or the Servicer on its behalf) to the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee and the Indenture Trustee on or before the applicable Loan Action Date of a report identifying each such expected Loan (by loan number and applicable Seller and Subservicer) as an Excluded Loan. The Excluded Loans outstanding from time to time shall be identified as such on each Loan Schedule delivered from time to time on each Monthly Determination 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, the Issuer Loan Trustee and the Indenture Trustee on or before the applicable Loan Action Date of a report identifying each such expected Loan (by loan number and applicable 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 related assets, or purchase, repurchase, reassign or otherwise dispose of any Loans 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.

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 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 Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the 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 Issuer Loan Trustee, Renewals with respect to Loans in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the Loan Purchase Agreement and to execute and deliver all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Loans 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, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of 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, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer 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 reimbursement (except as provided in Section 3.02 hereof), all expenses incurred in connection with the servicing activities hereunder 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 Loan Agreement 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 Loan Agreements; 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, other than the initial Payment Date, shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) 4.64%, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate Loan
-20-
Principal Balance as of the first day of the related Collection Period, multiplied by (iii) one-twelfth. The Servicing Fee for the initial Payment Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) [4.64]%, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate Loan Principal Balance as of the Initial Cut-Off Date, multiplied by (iii) a fraction having as its numerator the number of days from the Closing Date through the end of the related Collection Period, and as its denominator, 360. 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.
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 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 or the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer.
The Issuer and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that (i) the servicing arrangements provided for in this 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 and other Sold 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.
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 shall make on each Addition Date, the following representations, warranties and covenants on which the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer shall be deemed to rely in accepting its interest in the Loans and 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:

The obligation of the Servicer to accept reassignment 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 Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee with respect to a breach of such Applicable Representations, except as provided in Section 6.04.

Each Subservicer shall service and administer the related Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01. As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under this Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicers, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense.

(d) Each Subservicer shall be entitled to compensation for its services as a Subservicer under this Agreement by the Servicer as agreed to by the Servicer and such Subservicer, and no Subservicer will be entitled to any fee or other payment from, or claim on, any of the assets in the Trust Estate.
(e) Notwithstanding the appointment of the Subservicers for any such servicing and administration of the related Loans or any other purpose hereunder, the Servicer shall remain obligated and solely liable to the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing arrangement to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Loans.
Section 3.11. Custody of Receivable Files.
(a) Custody. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Loans and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby revocably appoint the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the Loan Agreements.

The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the Loan Agreements (including any original physical Loan Note) for the benefit of the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its customary servicing practices. The Servicer will promptly report to the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold a material portion of the Loan Agreements and maintain its account, records, and computer systems as herein provided or promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing practices, maintain all or a portion of a Loan Agreement in electronic form and/or maintain custody of all or any portion of a Loan Agreement with one or more Persons to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in accordance with Section 6.07. The Servicer will maintain each Loan Agreement in the United States (it being understood that the Loan Agreements, 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). 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 Loan Agreements upon request.

(c) Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian will become effective as of the Cut-Off Date and will continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If OneMain Financial 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 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 Loan Agreements and other Sold Assets; provided, however, if the Back-up Servicer is the successor Servicer, the Back-up Servicer may elect to have the Indenture Trustee hold the Loan Agreements in trust for the Issuer.
(d) Establishment of Imaging System. The Servicer shall maintain an imaging system through which the original physical Loan Notes 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 or replacement (in the case of Loan Notes originated in electronic form) to physical documentation.
(e) Subcustodian. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, may appoint a Subservicer as subcustodian with respect to any Loan Agreement pursuant to Section 6.07. In the event that the custodian is terminated in such capacity hereunder, each subcustodian will be terminated as subcustodian for each Loan with respect to which it is then acting in such capacity.

In furtherance of its obligations hereunder, the Servicer may, in its sole discretion, undertake any such legal action which it may deem necessary or desirable for the benefit of the Issuer and the Noteholders with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and the Noteholders hereunder.
(b) Except as provided in Section 6.04, neither any Subservicer nor any of the directors, officers, partners, members, managers, employees or agents of a Subservicer in its capacity as a Subservicer shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Servicer or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith in its capacity as a Subservicer pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect a Subservicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and its duties hereunder. Each Subservicer and any director, officer, employee, partner, member or manager or agent of a Subservicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person (other than such Subservicer) respecting any matters arising hereunder. No Subservicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties as a Subservicer in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable judgment may involve it in any expense or liability.
Section 6.04. Servicer Indemnification of the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the Benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer (as such and in its individual capacity), the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), the Indenture Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) and any trustees predecessor thereto (including the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar) and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, members or managers and agents from and against any and all loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts or omissions of the Servicer (including in its capacity as custodian of any Loan Agreements pursuant to Section 3.11) or a Subservicer with respect to the Issuer or the Issuer
-31-
Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer in breach of this Agreement (other than such as may arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable), including any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action, Proceeding or claim. In addition, the Servicer shall indemnify and hold the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer harmless for any tax or fee to which the Issuer or the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer becomes subject in any jurisdiction by reason of the Servicer or a Subservicer being located in such jurisdiction or performing servicing activities in such jurisdiction. Indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall not be payable from the Sold Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Servicer nor any Subservicer shall in any event be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Servicer or such Subservicer, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
Section 6.05. Resignation of the Servicer and the Subservicers. (a) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner Trustee 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 (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). If within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the determination that the Servicer may no longer act as Servicer as described above the Indenture Trustee is unable to appoint a Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall serve as Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder. The Issuer shall give prompt notice to each Rating Agency upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer and each Subservicer may assign (which assignment shall not constitute a resignation for purposes of the foregoing clause (a)) part or all of its obligations and duties as Servicer or Subservicer under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Servicer or such Subservicer so long as (x) in the case of an assignment by the Servicer, such entity shall be an Eligible Servicer as of such assignment, (y) pursuant to the Performance Support Agreement, the Performance Support Provider shall have fully guaranteed the performance of the obligations and duties of the Servicer or such Subservicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and (z) the Servicer reasonably determines that such assignment will not materially adversely affect the interests of any Class of Noteholders. So long as OneMain Financial remains the Servicer, no Subservicer shall resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except with the consent of the Servicer.
-32-
Section 6.06. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Loans. The Servicer and each Subservicer (including in its capacity as custodian or subcustodian, as applicable) shall provide to the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, access to the documentation regarding the Loans in such cases where the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer or the Noteholders or by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (a) upon reasonable request, (b) during normal business hours, (c) subject to the Servicer’s or Subservicer’s, as applicable, normal security and confidentiality procedures and (d) at reasonably accessible offices in the continental United States designated by the Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Depositor, the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Subservicer and the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Loan Obligors and the failure of the Servicer or Subservicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Section 6.07. Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business (and subject to the standard of care set forth in Section 3.01), the Servicer may at any time delegate its duties hereunder with respect to the Loans to 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 within the meaning of Section 6.05.
Section 6.08. Examination of Records. Each of the Depositor, the Depositor Loan Trustee, 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 each of the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each of Depositor, the Depositor Loan Trustee, 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, the Depositor Loan Trustee, 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 Loan Trustee hereby authorizes 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 Loan Trustee may be requested or required 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 Loan Trustee with respect to any Loan, the Issuer Loan Trustee 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 Loan Trustee.

The Depositor and the Depositor Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Depositor shall, on the day that any Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Depositor, immediately cease to transfer Additional Loans to the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and the Depositor shall promptly give notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee thereof. Loans transferred to the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency Event and Collections in respect of such Loans transferred to the Issuer shall continue to be a part of the Sold Assets and shall be allocated and distributed to Noteholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture.
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 payment, transfer or deposit or to give instructions or notice to the Indenture Trustee to make 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 or the Indenture, and which 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 Holders and (ii) the actual knowledge of the Servicer thereof;
(b) 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 or the Indenture, which failure has a material adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders (as determined by the Required Noteholders) and which continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) 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 and the Indenture Trustee by the Required Noteholders and (ii) the actual knowledge of the Servicer thereof;
(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or the Indenture or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture 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 Required Noteholders) and which continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the
-34-
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, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Required Noteholders and (ii) the actual knowledge of the Servicer thereof;
(d) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer; or
(e) the Servicer or any affiliate thereof shall have been terminated or otherwise removed as servicer, master servicer or subservicer of any other personal loan securitization following a servicer default, master servicer default, subservicer default or similar event in connection with such other securitization;
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 Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and the Back-up Servicer (a “Termination Notice”) (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement and the Indenture and (ii) direct the applicable party to terminate any power of attorney granted to the Servicer 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.
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 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 cooperate and to cause each Subservicer to 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 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
-35-
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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to in paragraph (a) above for a period of five (5) Business Days after the applicable grace period or under paragraph (b) or (c) above for a period of sixty (60) 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 sixty-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 shall 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 by it, together with a description of its efforts so to perform its obligations.
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 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 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. 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 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 the Back-up Servicing Agreement), and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer.
-36-
Within five (5) Business Days after the Servicer becomes aware of any Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give notice thereof to the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, 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 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.

Additionally, this Agreement may be amended from time to time (including in connection with the issuance of a supplement certificate or to change the definition of Collection Period, Determination Date or Payment Date) by the Servicer, the Depositor, the Depositor Loan Trustee, the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee, by a written instrument signed by each of them, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders; provided that (i) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer an Officer’s Certificate, dated the date of any such amendment, stating that the Depositor reasonably believes that such amendment will not have an Adverse Effect and (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any such amendment. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, this Agreement may be amended by the Servicer, the Depositor, the Depositor Loan Trustee, the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee, by a written instrument signed by each of them, but without the consent of the Noteholders, upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such amendment (without anything further) as may be necessary or advisable in order 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.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Servicer, the Depositor, the Depositor Loan Trustee, the Issuer and the Issuer Loan Trustee, with the consent of the Required Noteholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall directly or indirectly (i) reduce in any manner the amount of or delay the timing of any distributions (changes in Early Amortization Events that decrease the likelihood of the occurrence thereof shall not be considered delays in the timing of distributions for purposes of this clause) to be made to Noteholders or deposits of amounts to be so distributed without the consent of each

(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders 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.

(e) The Required Noteholders may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default by the Depositor, the Depositor Loan Trustee, the Issuer, the Issuer Loan Trustee, or the Servicer in the performance of their obligations hereunder and its consequences, except the failure to make any distributions required to be made to Noteholders or to make any required deposits of any amounts to be so distributed (which such default may only be waived by 100% of the affected Noteholders). 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. 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 which affects the rights, duties, immunities or liabilities of the Owner Trustee shall require the Owner Trustee’s written consent. The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s rights, duties, benefits, protections, privileges or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise. In connection with the execution of any amendment hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the terms of this Agreement.
