(b) Servicer agrees to service the Loans on behalf of, and at the direction and control of, Buyers in accordance with the customary industry servicing practices of prudent lending institutions that service loans of the same type as the Loans, which shall include, but not be limited to, account opening, transaction processing, customer service, statement generation, reporting, billing, repayment disbursements, management, administration, collection, customer service, and consumer complaint identification, monitoring and resolution, in accordance, where applicable, with the criteria established and adopted by Buyers and set forth in this Servicing Agreement including Schedule A (“Servicing”).
CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL APPEARING IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [*****] HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(c) Servicer agrees to timely deliver to Buyers the servicer reports with respect to the Loans as are set forth on Schedule B.
(d) Under the supervision and control of Buyers, and in the Buyers’ name, Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things on behalf of Buyers in connection with such Servicing that are reasonably necessary or desirable for the benefit of Buyers, provided that except as provided herein, until a Loan is 90 or more days past due, and thereafter if Servicer has not compensated Buyers for the related Portfolio Credit Loss, Servicer shall not, without the prior approval of Buyers, (i) modify the terms of the Loans, including, but not limited to, interest rate and maturity date, or (ii) waive Borrower payment delinquencies.
(i) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, for Buyers’ benefit, Buyers authorize Servicer to settle all Borrower complaints and disputes on behalf of, and in the name of, Buyers, provided that any such settlement may involve a total amount (principal, finance charges, and fees) of no more than $20,000.00. Such authority includes, without limitation, filing chargebacks with the applicable payment card network, enforcing contractual rights to reimbursement or refunds from Program Merchants and Sponsors, crediting Borrower(s) accounts, and executing settlement and release agreements adopted by Buyers substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule D. In the event that any settlement amount would exceed $20,000.00, Servicer will consult with Buyers for final settlement authority.
(ii) The modification of the terms of a Loan, waiver of Borrower payment delinquencies, or other settlement shall have no effect upon the treatment of the Outstanding Balance of such Loan as a Portfolio Credit Loss.
(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer, on behalf of, and subject at all times to the direction and control of, Buyers, agrees to: (i) timely invoice each Borrower for all payments required to be paid by such Borrower, which invoice may be electronic, (ii) direct each Borrower to remit such payments due by such Borrower directly to the Lockbox, the ACH Account, or otherwise as instructed by Buyers, (iii) forward to the Lockbox or arrange disbursement in accordance with the terms hereof of any amounts that should have been deposited into the Lockbox, but were not so deposited, within 2 Business Days of receiving funds from a Borrower, or, if such amounts are not accompanied by a payment coupon or otherwise are unidentifiable, as soon thereafter as practicable after they are identified as being attributable to a Loan, and promptly thereafter instruct the bank maintaining the Lockbox to transfer such amounts to the Buyers’ Designated Accounts, in accordance with Buyers’ respective Percentage Interests, (iv) reconcile the funds in the ACH Account and instruct the bank maintaining the ACH Account to transfer any amounts received in the ACH Account from a Borrower to the Buyers’ Designated Accounts, in accordance with Buyer’s respective Percentage Interests, within 2 Business Days of receiving funds from a Borrower or, if such funds cannot be identified as being attributable to a particular Loan, as soon thereafter as practicable after they are identified as being attributable to a Loan, and (v) maintain with respect to each Loan, complete and accurate records in accordance with customary industry practices.
(f) Buyers shall own and have reasonable access to all Borrower records including, but not limited to, Loan documents, at such time and in such commercially reasonable manner as shall
CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL APPEARING IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [*****] HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
be requested by Buyers. Buyers may utilize such records for the purposes of marketing Buyers’ products and services to Borrowers as permitted by Law and the terms of the GreenSky® Program but subject to any limitations imposed by the Program Agreement(s). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, since the receivables and other rights to payment with respect to the Loans are at all times the sole property of Buyers, Buyers shall have the unconditional right, at any time and from time to time, to take possession of the original Loan documents or other original evidence of the debt owed by any Borrower, and Servicer shall promptly deliver the same to Buyers on Buyers’ request.
(g) Servicer shall not institute collection litigation with respect to a Loan without the prior express written consent of Buyers, and Servicer shall not be obligated to institute collection litigation unless it concludes that it is commercially reasonable.
(h) Servicer shall pay all of its expenses incurred in connection with the Servicing of the Loans, which for the avoidance of doubt shall not include state documentary taxes.
Section 2.02 Compliance.

Buyers may audit Servicer for compliance with the terms of this Servicing Agreement and applicable Law relating to Servicer’s performance of its obligations under this Servicing Agreement. Servicer agrees to make available its facilities, personnel and records to Buyers and their respective auditors when reasonably requested by Buyers: (i) on a quarterly basis or such other frequency reasonably agreed by Servicer and Buyers to enable Buyers or their respective auditors to perform agreed upon audit procedures on Servicer’s accounting, information technology, Loan origination, Loan servicing and collection policies and operations, and to review such other information or data necessary for Buyers to perform risk and compliance analysis with respect to the services being provided by Servicer pursuant to this Servicing Agreement, and (ii) on a quarterly basis to permit statistical sampling to confirm the performance of the Loans. Servicer agrees to respond to Buyers in writing within 30 days of its receipt of written notice of any material deficiencies identified during these audits, and, in the event that Servicer does not correct any deficiencies material to the Loans taken as a whole identified during these audits within 30 days of Servicer’s response to Buyers, then it shall be deemed to be a “Noncompliance Event.” Buyers’ failure to exercise its right to audit Servicer pursuant to this Section shall not act as a waiver of any of its rights or remedies under this Servicing Agreement. Each Party shall make available its facilities, personnel and records with regard to the matters relating to the Loans and Servicer’s performance of its obligations under this Servicing Agreement for examination or audit when requested by a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the other Party.

ARTICLE IV
SERVICER DEFAULTS
Section 4.01 Servicer Defaults. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:
(a) any failure by Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit or to give instructions to bank holding the Lockbox or ACH Account to make such payment, transfer or deposit on or before the date occurring 3 Business Days after the date such payment, transfer or deposit or such instruction or notice is required to be made or given, as the case may be, under the terms of this Servicing Agreement, provided however, that where such failure is due to oversight, error or any other reason not including bad faith on the part of Servicer, such 3 Business Day period shall commence upon notice to Servicer from Buyers;
(b) any failure on the part of Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of Servicer set forth in this Servicing Agreement and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on
CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL APPEARING IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [*****] HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Servicer by Buyers;
(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by Servicer in this Servicing Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Servicing Agreement shall prove to have been materially incorrect when made, which has a materially adverse effect on the Loans (taken as a whole) and which materially adverse effect continues for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Servicer by Buyers;
(d) any Non-Compliance Event; or
(e) Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee or conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy proceeding or other insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all its property, or an action seeking a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee or a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been commenced against Servicer and such action shall have remained undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or an order or decree providing for such relief shall have been entered; or Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
then, Buyers, by notice given to Servicer (a “Termination Notice”), may terminate all, but not less than all, of the rights and obligations of Servicer as servicer under this Servicing Agreement and appoint a Successor Servicer, subject to Section 4.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance shall not constitute a Servicer Default (i) under paragraph (a) above for a period of 10 Business Days after the applicable grace period or (ii) under paragraph (b), (c) or (d) above for a period of 15 Business Days after the applicable grace period, if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, terrorism, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve Servicer from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Servicing Agreement, and Servicer shall provide Buyers with prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts so to perform its obligations.
In addition, if Servicer experiences a material deterioration in its financial condition such that Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations under this Servicing Agreement in a material respect (such material deterioration in financial condition, a “Financial Condition Event”), Servicer shall promptly give notice to Buyers of such Financial Condition Event. Each of Buyers and Servicer shall have the right, at their respective option, to terminate all, but not less than all, of the rights and obligations of Servicer as servicer under this Servicing Agreement and have Buyers appoint a
CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL APPEARING IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [*****] HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
Successor Servicer, subject to Section 4.2, by providing a Termination Notice to the other party upon 90 days prior written notice, unless Servicer cures such Financial Condition Event within such 90 days. If a Financial Condition Event is not cured within such 90 days, then such Financial Condition Event shall constitute a Servicer Default.
Section 4.02 Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the receipt by Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 4.01, Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Servicing Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by Buyers (provided, with respect to an event specified in Section 4.01(b) or (c), such date shall not be less than 60 days after Servicer’s receipt of the initial notice from Buyers identifying the occurrence of such event) or until a date mutually agreed upon by Servicer and Buyers. Buyers shall, as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice, appoint on commercially reasonable terms a third party servicing entity selected by Buyers in their sole discretion, or itself on commercially reasonable terms, as the successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer, if a third party, shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to Buyers. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment at the time when Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, Buyers, without further action, shall automatically be appointed on commercially reasonably terms the Successor Servicer.
(b) After a Successor Servicer is appointed by Buyers and is fully performing the servicing duties, all authority and power of Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, except for the right to receive payment under Section 4.02(d), shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer (a “Service Transfer”) and, without limitation, Buyers are hereby authorized and empowered (upon the failure of Servicer to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Service Transfer. Servicer agrees to cooperate with Buyers and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of Servicer to service the Loans provided for under this Servicing Agreement, including all authority over all Collections that shall on the date of transfer be held by Servicer for deposit, or which have been deposited in the Lockbox or ACH Account, or which thereafter shall be received with respect to the Loans, and in assisting the Successor Servicer. Servicer shall also complete such transfer of its rights under the Program Agreements as may be necessary for the Successor Servicer to adequately perform its duties and obligations under this Servicing Agreement. Within 10 Business Days after a Service Transfer, Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Loans to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing and enforcement of the Loans in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. The Servicer shall be responsible for all expenses incurred in transferring the servicing duties to the Successor Servicer. To the extent that compliance with this Section shall require Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which Servicer deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary confidentiality agreements as Servicer shall deem reasonably necessary to protect its interests.

(c) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to Servicer with respect to servicing functions and collection of any payments under this Servicing Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Servicing Agreement to Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer, other than the right of Servicer to receive the amounts provided for in Section 4.02(d).
(d) From and after the termination of the servicing by Servicer, the Servicing Fee due to Servicer under Section 3.01(a) shall be reduced by the commercially reasonable servicing fee in accordance with Section 4.02(b) paid by Buyers to the Successor Servicer, but (i) the remainder of the Servicing Fee, (ii) the Performance Fee, and (iii) the balance of the Portfolio Escrow Account shall be paid to Servicer as contemplated by Article III. In the event that Buyers serve as a Successor Servicer, the Servicing Fee due to Servicer under Article III shall be reduced by the reasonable amount that Buyers would have to pay to an independent Successor Servicer in an arms’ length transaction.
ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

This Servicing Agreement and the consummation by Servicer of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary company action on the part of Servicer, and this Servicing Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Servicer and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Servicer, enforceable against Servicer in accordance with its terms (except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general equity principles).
(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Servicing Agreement by Servicer nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Servicing Agreement by Servicer will (i) conflict with, result in the breach of, constitute a default under, or accelerate the performance required by, the terms of any contract, instrument or commitment to which Servicer is a party or by which Servicer is bound, (ii) violate the governing documents of Servicer, (iii) result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the Loans (except pursuant to the terms hereof), (iv) require the consent or approval under any judgment, order, writ, decree, permit or license to which Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, or (v) require the consent or approval of any other party to any contract, instrument or commitment to which Servicer is a party or by which it is bound.
