Article II Loan Origination Rights & Obligations
Section 2.01. Loan Origination Obligations.
(a) Origination of Loans.
(i) GreenSky® Program. As program administrator of the GreenSky® Program, Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and develop the network of Program Merchants participating in the GreenSky® Program as a source for Loans to be made by Lender pursuant to this Origination Agreement. Servicer will conduct appropriate due diligence on Program Merchants and Sponsors, share information with Lender as requested by Lender and obtain information from Program Merchants and Sponsors on behalf of Lender as Lender may reasonably require from time to time. Servicer may promote Loans and facilitate acceptance of Loan applications through Program Merchants with whom Servicer has in place a Program Agreement. Servicer has provided Lender with the Borrower Loan Documents, and shall promptly provide to Lender any changes made to Borrower Loan Documents; provided, that Servicer shall obtain the written consent of Lender prior to making any material changes to Borrower Loan Documents. Upon request, Lender shall have the right to review training materials used by Servicer for Program Merchants, including any subsequent material changes made thereto, and Servicer shall consider in good faith Lender’s reasonable comments to such training materials. Servicer shall process applications from prospective borrowers for Loans on behalf of Lender (including retrieving credit reports) to determine whether the applicant meets the Underwriting Criteria. Servicer will only refer applications for applicants that have had their identities verified in accordance with “Know Your Customer” and anti-money laundering criteria under Applicable Law for financial institutions, including without limitation the Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Servicer shall respond to all inquiries from applicants and prospective borrowers regarding the application process.

writing to any further increase in the Commitment Amount above [*****] and No/100 ($[*****]) Dollars. [*****].
(iii) Loan Terms. All Loans shall be originated by Lender through the GreenSky® Program using Servicer’s services. Servicer acknowledges that the making of a Loan creates a creditor-borrower relationship between Lender and Borrower which involves, among other things, the establishment of an account with Lender, Lender’s extension of credit and disbursement of Loan proceeds and the right to collect payments. If Servicer determines that a potential Borrower meets the Underwriting Criteria, Servicer shall cause such potential Borrower to execute a loan agreement in favor of Lender in the form provided to Lender and naming Lender as the creditor for the Loan, and which shall include an interest rate, loan term, repayment and other terms consistent with Schedule B. Lender may require changes in Borrower documents (including Borrower Loan Documents) to the extent that Lender determines that such change is required by Applicable Law or is reasonably necessitated by safety and soundness considerations or concerns. Any material changes to the form of loan agreement made by Servicer must be approved in writing in advance by Lender, provided that Lender’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed for any such changes requested by a Governmental Authority or required to comply with Applicable Law. Lender shall provide Servicer with Lender’s privacy policy for delivery to Borrowers. Notwithstanding Lender’s approval of any document, Servicer shall ensure that all Borrower Loan Documents and documents used in the program or provided to Borrowers of prospective borrowers comply in all material respects with Applicable Law in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(iii). Servicer shall hold and maintain as custodian for Lender, all Borrower Loan Documents and other documents of Lender pertaining to the Loans. At Lender’s request Servicer shall provide Lender with prompt access to the originals or copies of such documents and this obligation shall survive expiration or termination of this Origination Agreement.
(b) Intent of Parties. Except as provided in Sections 2.06 and 7.05(b)(ii) herein and Sections 2.02, 3.05 and 12.05(b)(ii) of the Servicing Agreement, the Loans shall at all times be the property of Lender and at no point shall Servicer have an ownership interest therein, nor shall Lender be deemed to be a lender to Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to assure Lender that its rights in the Loans are protected, to the extent that Servicer may be deemed to have an ownership interest in any of the Loans (as a result of the UCC or otherwise), Servicer hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of its right, title and interest, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, in, to and under such Loans and the proceeds thereof to secure the prompt and complete payment of all Loans deemed to have been made by Lender. Nothing herein shall be deemed to diminish the customer or other relationships between the Borrowers and either Program Merchants or Servicer.

Section 2.02. Dispute over Settlement Amount.
(a) In the event Lender disputes the accuracy of the Settlement Amount reported by Servicer, Lender shall promptly notify Servicer, but such notice shall not affect Lender’s obligation for timely payment of the Settlement Amount as noticed by Servicer to Lender, unless the Settlement Amount would cause the aggregate outstanding principal balances of all

Section 2.05. Allocation of Loans. [*****].

To the extent Servicer maintains licenses necessary to own such Loans, Servicer shall purchase from Lender any Loan found to be improperly, illegally or fraudulently originated, or originated in violation of Applicable Law or the terms of this Origination Agreement, by paying Lender an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Loan (except to the extent that Lender previously has been paid for the Outstanding Balance of such Loan pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or otherwise), and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Lender in connection therewith; provided, however, that as a condition to such purchase, Lender shall assign its entire right, title and interest in such improperly, illegally or fraudulently originated or violative Loan to Servicer. To the extent Servicer does not maintain the necessary licenses to own such Loans, Lender instead shall grant to Servicer an Economic Participation in all such Loans for an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Loan (except to the extent that Lender previously has been paid for the Outstanding Balance of such Loan pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or otherwise), and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Lender in connection therewith; provided, that, to the extent Servicer later obtains the necessary licenses to own any such Loan, Lender shall, upon Servicer’s request and at no additional cost, transfer Lender’s legal title to a Loan to Servicer pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Servicer. Any such transfer or Economic Participation shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind, other than that the Loans are owned by Lender free and clear of any Liens on the effective date of transfer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Servicer shall not transfer any Economic Participation in a Loan that is 120 days or more past due without the consent of Lender. In connection with Servicer’s transfer of an Economic Participation in compliance with this Section 2.06 (including Lender’s consent requirements, if applicable), Lender shall, upon Servicer’s request and at no additional cost, transfer Lender’s legal title to a Loan to the transferee of such Economic Participation. To the extent Lender’s legal title to a Loan is transferred to a third party in connection with Servicer’s transfer of an Economic Participation pursuant to the preceding sentences or otherwise, in each case pursuant to this section, such assignment and sale shall be pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

(d) No Fraudulent Activity; Negligence. No Fraudulent Activity, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to any Loan has taken place on the part of Servicer or any third party involved in the arranging or making of any Loan to whom Servicer subcontracted any of its obligations hereunder. Servicer represents and warrants that the true identity of each Borrower was ascertained in order to avoid dealing with persons committing identity theft or other forms of Fraudulent Activity. Servicer has established and maintains a customer identification program and a suspicious activity reporting program in material compliance with Applicable Law, including the requirements of 31 CFR 1020.220 and 31 CFR Part 103, and has performed its customer identification program with respect to each applicant and Borrower. Servicer acknowledges that Lender will rely on the performance of Servicer for Lender’s customer identification program. Servicer will retain for six years after a Loan is repaid and deliver to Bank upon request the applicant or Borrower’s name, physical address, social security number and date of birth obtained pursuant to such customer identification procedures; a description of the methods and the results of any measures undertaken to verify the identity of the applicant or Borrower and a description of the resolution of any substantive discrepancy discovered when verifying the identifying information obtained.

Laws and, as agent of Lender, have conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the Loans for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws; and Servicer maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to evidence such actions and identify the applicable Borrowers for purpose of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws. More specifically, Servicer, on behalf of and as agent of Lender, has screened all applicants against the OFAC List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons and rejected any applicant whose name and other identifiable data matches a name and such other data on such list and has notified Lender thereof. Servicer will monitor, identify and report to Lender any activity that Servicer deems to be potentially suspicious under the Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

(g) No Set-off. The Loans are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, claim, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Loans, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render any Loan unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, claim, counterclaim or defense.
(h) Capacity and Enforceability. All Borrowers party to the loan agreements and other documents evidencing the Loans have the legal capacity to enter into and execute and deliver them, and all such loan agreements and other documents have been duly and properly executed by such Persons. Each loan agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Borrower thereunder, enforceable against each Borrower in accordance with its terms subject to customary equitable exceptions.
(i) Documentation. The Loan Files for the Loans contain all loan agreements and other documents evidencing the Loans, all underwriting documents, all collection notices and all required disclosures that are necessary under Applicable Law.
(j) No Amendment. The Program Agreements are in full force and effect and have not been modified or amended in any way that would materially adversely affect the Loans, the ability of Servicer to perform its obligations under this Origination Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or the other Origination Papers, the rights of Lender under this Origination Agreement, the Servicing Agreement or the other Origination Papers or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder in general.
(k) As of the date of origination of a Loan, each Borrower was either a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident alien with a valid social security number, and resided and had a billing address within the United States.

This Section 8.03 is subject to the rights provided to Servicer in Section 2.07.
Section 8.04. Ownership and Restrictions on Use. The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party or a third party providing such information to the Disclosing Party, and the disclosure of such information to the Receiving Party does not confer upon it any license, interest, or right of any kind in or to the Proprietary Information, except as provided under this Origination Agreement. At all times and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Origination Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees that it will: (a) hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any third party the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party, except to carry out the purposes of the Origination Agreement or as otherwise approved in writing by the Disclosing Party; (b) only permit access to the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its personnel who have a need to know and have signed confidentiality agreements or are otherwise bound by confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those contained in this Origination Agreement; (c) be responsible to the Disclosing Party for any third party’s use and disclosure of the Proprietary Information provided to such third party by the Receiving Party; (d) only use Proprietary Information that it receives to carry out the purposes of the Origination Agreement and for no other purpose whatsoever; and (e) use at least the same degree of care it would use to protect its own Proprietary Information of like importance, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care, including without limitation, maintaining information security standards for such Proprietary Information as are commercially reasonable and customary for the type of information. Specifically, with regard to NPPI, Servicer will comply with the information security standards specific to such information set forth in this Origination Agreement. Neither Party will communicate any information to the other Party in violation of the proprietary rights of any third party. Neither Servicer nor its Affiliates nor their respective personnel will knowingly cause or permit any of Lender’s or its Affiliates’ Proprietary Information to be sent to or accessed from any location outside of the United States of America.
Section 8.05. Required Disclosures. If the Receiving Party is required by a Governmental Authority or Applicable Law to disclose any of the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party must, if legally permissible: (a) first give written notice of such required disclosure to the Disclosing Party; (b) make a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order requiring that the Proprietary Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which disclosure is required; (c) take reasonable steps to allow the Disclosing Party to seek to protect the confidentiality of the Proprietary Information required to be disclosed; and (d) disclose only that part of the Proprietary Information which, in the written opinion of its legal

counsel, it is required to disclose. The foregoing requirements will not apply and are not intended to limit Lender’s ability to fully comply with requests for information from its regulators or the Internal Revenue Service.
Section 8.06. Notice of Unauthorized Disclosures. Each Party to this Origination Agreement will promptly notify the other Party in writing upon discovery of any access, data breach, material loss or material unauthorized disclosure of the Proprietary Information of the other Party. Any unauthorized disclosure or loss of NPPI, regardless of context or amount of data, will be a material confidentiality breach pursuant this Origination Agreement.
Section 8.07. Limit on Reproductions. The Receiving Party will not reproduce the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information in any form except as required to accomplish the intent of this Origination Agreement. Any reproduction of any Proprietary Information by the Receiving Party will remain the property of the Disclosing Party and will contain any and all confidential or proprietary notices or legends that appear on the original, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party.
Section 8.08. Document Destruction, Information Erasure. Upon the earlier of: termination of this Origination Agreement, the written request of the Disclosing Party, or at such later time, when no longer needed by either Party for fulfillment of its obligations under this Origination Agreement or Applicable Law, each Receiving Party, except as prohibited by law, will either: (a) promptly return to the Disclosing Party all documents and other tangible (including electronic) materials containing the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information, including all copies thereof in its possession or control; or (b) erase or destroy all such materials by the following methods, the foregoing notwithstanding, provided however that records shall not be destroyed prior to the time specified pursuant to applicable record retention timeframes or alternatively such records are delivered to the Disclosing Party. If return, erasure, or destruction is not feasible, then the Receiving Party may, with the written consent of the Disclosing Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), maintain the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information in compliance with the requirements of the confidentiality and information security provisions of this Origination Agreement; provided, however, that when the return, destruction, or erasure of any such materials becomes feasible for the Receiving Party, the Receiving Party must comply with the requirements of (a) or (b) above within sixty (60) calendar days.

Section 8.09. Equitable Relief. If either Party should breach or threaten to breach any provision of this Article VIII of the Origination Agreement, the non-breaching Party, in addition to any other remedy it may have at law or in equity, will be entitled to seek a restraining order, injunction, or other similar remedy in order to specifically enforce the provisions of this Section 8.09. Each Party specifically acknowledges that money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the injuries and damages that would be suffered and incurred by the non-breaching Party as a result of a breach of this Article VIII of this Origination Agreement. In the event that either Party should seek an injunction hereunder, the other Party hereby waives any requirement for the submission of proof of the economic value of any Proprietary Information or the posting of a bond or any other security.
Section 8.10. Survival. Notwithstanding any termination of this Origination Agreement, all of the Receiving Party’s nondisclosure and use obligations pursuant to this Article VIII will survive: (a) for three (3) years after termination with respect to any Confidential Business Information received prior to such termination; (b) with respect to Trade Secrets, for so long as such information continues to constitute a trade secret under Applicable Law; and (c) with respect to NPPI, for so long as required by Applicable Law.
Section 8.11. Prior Agreements. The provisions set forth in this Origination Agreement supersede any previous agreement between the Parties relating to the protection of any Proprietary Information.
Section 8.12. Information Related to Tax Structure and Treatment. It is the Parties’ mutual intent that the tax structure and tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Origination Agreement will not be confidential and, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party and its personnel may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax structure and tax treatment of the transactions contemplated herein such that the transactions will be treated as not having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any comparable provision in the law of any other jurisdiction.

Article IX Information Security
Section 9.01. General Requirements. Servicer will adhere to Lender’s information security policies when providing services on site at Lender’s facilities. Servicer will safeguard information, including NPPI, and adhere to information security standards and requirements as are prescribed by Applicable Law for federally insured financial institutions. In addition, Servicer will maintain data back-up procedures, and information security systems and processes (collectively, the “Security Systems”) continuously at its own facilities and those of any personnel at which Servicing is performed and under business continuity plans so that no Lender Proprietary Information is lost, stolen, modified, disclosed to, accessed, or made inaccessible or unreadable to Servicer or Lender by any third party (other than those permitted parties under the Confidentiality of Proprietary Information Section of this Servicing Agreement), whether the data is maintained at such facilities or is in transmission. The Security Systems will equal or exceed standard industry practices for similar suppliers dealing with Proprietary Information of financial institutions and be in compliance with Applicable Law. Servicer will reasonably monitor, evaluate, and adjust the Security Systems in response to relevant changes in technology, changes in the sensitivity of any Lender Proprietary Information (as reasonably determined by Lender), and internal and external threats to information security and any changes in Applicable Law. Servicer will promptly notify Lender of: (a) any breach of the Security Systems of which Servicer has knowledge that results in (i) unauthorized access to Lender Proprietary Information or could reasonably be expected to do so, or (ii) Lender Proprietary Information being made inaccessible or unreasonable to Servicer or Lender; (b) the consequences of the breach; and (c) Servicer’s corrective action. If Lender is required to notify its customers, employees, or regulators of a breach of the Security Systems affecting Lender’s Proprietary Information, at Lender’s option, Servicer will either notify Lender’s customers, employees, or regulators of the breach or reimburse Lender for the cost of these notifications.
Section 9.02. Encryption. To the extent Servicer places or retains Proprietary Information on the following types of devices, Servicer will encrypt all of them: (a) with whole disk encryption, all laptop computers; (b) personal digital assistants (PDAs); (c) all other portable devices (including, but not limited to, thumb drives); and (d) files on portable media (including, but not limited to, tapes and CDs). All encryption must meet a minimum standard of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm with a minimum key strength of 128-bit.
Section 9.03. Information Security Audits. During the term of this Origination Agreement and for one (1) year following termination:
(a) Audit Scope. Solely to assess the effective protection of Lender Proprietary Information, Lender may conduct annual remote or on-site audits of Servicer, at Lender’s discretion and expense (except as set forth below), to review the Security Systems at any time during Servicer’s regular business hours upon at least three (3)

Business Days’ prior notice to Servicer; however, Servicer may request up to an additional seven (7) Business Days to comply. However, if there is an actual breach of the Security Systems, Lender may conduct additional audits. The audits may be performed by Lender, its agent, or an independent third party bound by nondisclosure provisions substantially similar to those in this Origination Agreement, and may include reasonable testing of the Security Systems, including without limitation, periodic vulnerability scans. The Parties will schedule the testing at a mutually agreeable time and will cooperate in structuring the tests so as to use reasonable, industry-standard precautions to minimize risks to the Security Systems and to avoid harming the rights and interests of Servicer or any third parties. Servicer will provide Lender with reasonable assistance and information necessary for the performance of the testing, including reasonable access to its logs, policies, records, and other materials (solely as related to Lender Proprietary Information), and to Servicer personnel reasonably required for Lender to perform the audit. Lender will reasonably determine the extent and methodology of the testing subject to the approval of Servicer, the approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Servicer agrees to make available to Lender the results of any third party’s or its own testing, monitoring and auditing of the Security Systems solely as relates to Lender Proprietary Information, provided, that Servicer will not be required to make available any results which would breach its confidentiality obligations to any third party.
(b) Audit Findings/Remediation. If an audit reveals that the Security Systems do not effectively protect any Lender Proprietary Information or do not otherwise meet the information security requirements of Lender, its regulators, or the provisions of Applicable Law, then Servicer will complete and install modifications to the Security Systems, the cost, expense, and allocation of which will be borne by Servicer. If Servicer is unable to complete and install adequate modifications within the lesser of (i) the time frame agreed by the Parties, or (ii) the time period required by applicable law, then Lender may immediately terminate this Origination Agreement without penalty, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Origination Agreement.
(c) Audit Costs. Lender will reimburse Servicer’s reasonable direct expenses associated with the audit (e.g., reasonable copy charges or other reasonable standard expenses), but not any other expenses such as a charge for access to Servicer personnel or other sources of information. Lender will bear the agreed upon cost of any audit unless the audit is in response to a security breach that impacts, or could reasonably be presumed to impact, Lender Proprietary Information, in which case Servicer will bear the cost of the audit.
Section 9.04. Modifications to Agreements. To the extent that regulations promulgated under Applicable Law require additional or modified security, privacy, or confidentiality agreements between financial institutions and third party servicers, Servicer agrees that it will execute the additional or modified agreements as reasonably required by Lender.

Servicer agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Lender: (a) use any NPPI or any information about any Borrower or other customer of Lender to encourage the Borrower to refinance a Loan; or (b) sell, assign or transfer in any respect, to any person, any NPPI or any information about any Borrower or other customer of Lender.
Article XI Technology License
In furtherance of the activities contemplated by this Origination Agreement, Servicer grants Lender a non-exclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, revocable license to use Servicer’s GreenSky® Program technology platform (the “Licensed Technology”) during the term of this Origination Agreement solely for the purposes of, and in connection with, Lender’s participation in the GreenSky® Program. Lender acknowledges and agrees that Servicer will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Technology (including any and all modifications or derivative works thereof) and all intellectual property rights relating thereto, and Lender does not and will not have or acquire any ownership interest in the Licensed Technology (or any modifications or derivative works thereof) or any intellectual property rights relating thereto under or in connection with this Origination Agreement.
