This calculation assumes that all payments are made as scheduled. THIS INTEREST RATE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY FEES AND IS NOT AN ANNUALIZED RATE, THEREFORE, IS NOT AN ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (“APR”).

The APR equals a single percentage number that represents the actual yearly cost of funds over the term of a loan and includes any fees or additional costs associated with the loan. The APR on this loan can be compared to the APR of other loan programs to give you a consistent means of comparing rates and programs to the extent programs have different loan terms and fee structures.

Disbursement Amount

The Disbursement Amount is the Amount of Loan minus the Origination Fee and the payoffs of prior loans/lines to the extent applicable.

Fees

The Origination Fee is deducted at the time of disbursement.

Total Repayment Amount

The Total Repayment Amount includes the Amount of Loan plus the Interest Charged.

Loan Pricing Disclosure

Xxxxxx uses a system of risk-based pricing to determine interest charges and fees. Risk-based pricing is a system that evaluates the risk factors of your application and adjusts the interest rate and discount points up or down based on this risk evaluation.

Although Xxxxxx believes that its loan process provides expedited turnaround time and its underwriting process provides greater likelihood of approval of your loan, this loan may be a higher cost loan than loans that may be available through other lenders. You should fully consider all costs and fees associated with this loan and compare your available alternatives to this loan. You are encouraged to engage appropriate advisors to the extent you believe necessary to evaluate the terms of this loan.

IN ADDITION, THE LOAN WILL NOT BE USED FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES. Borrower understands that Xxxxxxxx’s agreement not to use the Loan proceeds for personal, family or household purposes means that certain important duties imposed upon entities making loans for consumer/personal purposes, and certain important rights conferred upon consumers, pursuant to federal or state law will not apply to this transaction.

In addition, the Loan will not be used for personal, family or household purposes. Borrower understands that Xxxxxxxx’s agreement not to use the Loan proceeds for personal, family or household purposes means that certain important duties imposed upon entities making loans for consumer/personal purposes, and certain important rights conferred upon consumers, pursuant to federal or state law will not apply to the Loan or the Agreement. Xxxxxxxx also understands that Xxxxxx will be unable to confirm whether the use of the Loan conforms to this section. Xxxxxxxx agrees that a breach by Borrower of the provisions of this section will not affect Xxxxxx’s right to (i) enforce Xxxxxxxx’s promise to pay for all amounts owed under this Agreement, regardless of the purpose for which the Loan is in fact obtained or (ii) use any remedy legally available to Lender, even if that remedy would not have been available had the Loan been made for consumer purposes.

5. DISBURSEMENT OF LOAN PROCEEDS AND MAINTENANCE OF BORROWER’S BANK ACCOUNT. If Xxxxxxxx applied and was approved for a Loan, Borrowers Loan will be disbursed upon approval as provided in the accompanying Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits).

30. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Subject to applicable law, if an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

A. Refrain from Disbursing Loan Proceeds: Xxxxxx may refrain from disbursing Borrower’s Loan proceeds to Borrowers Designated Checking Account.

B. Debit Amounts Due From Borrower’s Accounts: Lender may debit from Borrower’s Designated Checking Account all Automatic Payment Plan payments that Xxxxxx was unable to collect and/or the amount of any other Obligations that Borrower failed to pay.

C. Accelerate Indebtedness: Xxxxxx may declare the entire Obligations immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Borrower.

D. Assemble Collateral: Lender may require Borrower and/or Guarantor to deliver to Lender all or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Borrower and/or Guarantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender. Xxxxxx also shall have full power to enter, provided Xxxxxx does so without a breach of the peace or a trespass, upon the property of Borrower and/or Guarantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time of repossession, Borrower and Guarantor agree that Lender may take such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Borrower and Guarantor after repossession.

E. Sell the Collateral: Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in Lender’s own name or that of Borrower and/or Guarantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Borrower, Guarantor and other persons as required by law, reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale, or the time after which any private sale or any other disposition of the Collateral is to be made. However, no notice need be provided to any person who, after an Event of Default occurs, enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that person’s right to notification of sale. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at least 10 days before the time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of the Obligations secured by this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all such expenses will become a part of the Obligations and, at Lenders option, will: (i) be payable on demand; (ii) be added to the balance of the Loan and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (a) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (b) the remaining term of the Loan; or (iii) be treated as a balloon payment that will be due and payable at the Loan’s maturity.

F. Appoint Receiver: Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Collateral preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the rents from the Collateral and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Obligations. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Xxxxxx’s right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the Obligations by a substantial amount. Employment by Xxxxxx shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.

G. Intentionally left blank.

H. Collect Revenues. Apply Accounts: Lender, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the Collateral. Lender may at any time in Xxxxxx’s discretion transfer any Collateral into Xxxxxx’s own name or that of Lenders nominee and receive the payments, rents, income and revenues therefrom and hold the same as security for the Obligations or apply it to payment of the Obligations in such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not any amount included within the Obligations is then due. For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Borrower and/or Guarantor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Borrower; change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment or storage of any Collateral. To facilitate collections, Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.

I. Obtain Deficiency: If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Borrower and/or Guarantor for any deficiency remaining on the Obligations due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Borrower and/or Guarantor shall be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.

K. Other Rights and Remedies: Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or breach of any term of this Agreement, lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law, in equity or otherwise.

L. Election of Remedies: Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, any related documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Xxxxxx to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower under the Agreement, after Borrowers failure to perform, shall not affect Lenders right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.
