WHEREAS, Bank desires to provide credit and issue credit cards to qualifying consumers throughout the United States; and
WHEREAS, Company is a finance company that, directly and through its subsidiaries, offers installment loans to consumers in selected states under the authority of state lending licenses;

WHEREAS, the Parties desire that Bank provide credit and issue credit cards to qualifying applicants making applications through Company’s platform, and Company provide to Bank, and Bank receive from Company, certain marketing, application processing, and account processing services in connection with card applications and accounts;
WHEREAS, the Parties entered into the Credit Card Program and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 5, 2019 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “2019 Program Agreement”), and desire to amend and restate the 2019 Progam Agreement on the terms set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the terms, conditions and mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Company mutually agree as follows:
1. Definitions, Effectiveness, Governance.
(a) The terms used in this Agreement shall be defined as set forth in Schedule 1, and the rules of construction set forth in Schedule 1 shall apply to this Agreement.
(b) This Agreement shall be effective as of the Changeover Date and, as of the Changeover Date, shall supersede and replace the 2019 Program Agreement. This Agreement shall apply to all Accounts owned by Bank during the term of this Agreement, on or after the Changeover Date, including Accounts that were originated under the 2019 Program Agreement.
(c) This Agreement shall not operate so as to render invalid or improper any action heretofore taken under the 2019 Program Agreement.
(d) Bank and Company shall each appoint a liaison (“Liaison”) to work with each other to administer the Program pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Liaisons shall meet monthly, or more frequently if requested by Bank, either telephonically or in person to discuss issues, performance and administration of this Agreement. Between such
monthly meetings either Liaison may bring problems or issues to the attention of the other Liaison. The Liaisons shall work promptly to address any issues or problems presented. In the event of a dispute arising under this Agreement, the Liaisons shall first attempt to resolve such dispute. If either Liaison feels that the dispute cannot be resolved at their level, it shall be escalated to a senior executive appointed by each Party (“Senior Executive”) for resolution and the Senior Executives shall use their best efforts to resolve the dispute promptly. No formal proceeding may be instituted unless and until one of the Senior Executives provides written notice to the other that resolution cannot be achieved by the Senior Executives.
(e) In the event any approval or consent is required under this Agreement, or any change is desired to be made to any aspect of the Program including the Finance Materials and the Servicing Materials, or marketing channels, then the Party requesting such approval or change shall provide written notice thereof to the Liaison of the other Party. The Parties shall work in good faith to consider such approval, consent or change as soon as practicable. If such approval or change is necessitated by a change in Applicable Laws, the Parties will work together to effect such change for implementation prior to the effective date of any change in Applicable Laws.
2. Marketing of the Program and Accounts. At its own cost, Company (itself or through its affiliates and/or subcontractors) shall produce the Cards and promote and otherwise market the Program and the Accounts. In performing such promotion and other marketing services, Company may use English-language and Spanish-language communications, and may use any sales channel, form of media or media channel (including direct mail, telemarketing, retail stores, and the internet) that has been approved by Bank, provided that Company shall discontinue the use of any sales channel, form of media or media channel if directed to do so by Bank in order to comply with Applicable Law, the direction of a Regulatory Authority, or safety and soundness concerns. In the event of such direction, the Parties will work together to determine whether modifications can be made so as to allow the use of any sales channel, form of media or media channel subject to such discontinuation. All promotional and marketing materials, including marketing scripts, press releases, the card designs, and other marketing materials (collectively, “Marketing Materials”) shall be subject to approval by Bank, such approval not to be unreasonably denied, conditioned, withheld or delayed, and may be changed only at the direction or with the consent of Bank. Company shall ensure that all Marketing Materials, including the Card design, shall be accurate and not misleading in all material respects and shall comply with Applicable Laws. The terms of Schedule 2 are incorporated into this Section 2 as if fully set forth herein.
3. Extension of Credit. Bank agrees to make Accounts available, in accordance with the Credit Policy, to qualifying applicants located in the Territory. All Accounts shall be originated by Bank using the Company’s services described herein. Company acknowledges that approval of an Application involves, among other things, the establishment of an Account with Bank. An advance under the Account creates a creditor-borrower relationship between Bank and Borrower which involves Bank’s extension of credit, the disbursement of proceeds, and the right to collect payments. Bank, in its sole discretion, may deny any Application in good faith and in accordance with Applicable Laws. Bank agrees to make advances available on Accounts in accordance with the Credit Policy to accountholders.
4. Account Documents and Credit Policy. The following documents, terms and procedures (“Finance Materials”) are subject to approval by both Parties and will be used by Bank initially
with respect to the Accounts, and shall be attached to this Agreement upon approval by Bank: (i) the Program description as Exhibit A; (ii) Credit Policy as Exhibit B; (iii) form of Application, including disclosures required by Applicable Laws, as Exhibit C; and (iv) form of Account Agreement, privacy policy and privacy notices, as Exhibit D. The Finance Materials may be changed only at the direction or with the consent of Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no change may be made to the Credit Policy unless each such change has been approved by Bank’s board of directors or its designee, in its sole discretion. The Parties acknowledge that each Account Agreement and all other documents referring to the creditor for the Program shall identify Bank as the creditor for the Accounts. Company shall ensure that the Finance Materials comply with Applicable Laws. Except for the Finance Materials and the Marketing Materials, Company shall not refer to Bank or to the Program without the express written consent of Bank, including in press releases and other public statements.
5. Account Processing and Origination.

As service provider for Bank, Company shall respond to all inquiries from Applicants regarding the application process.
(b) Upon Bank’s request, Company shall forward to Bank mutually agreed information, including the data elements required for account opening under the BSA Program, regarding Applicants who meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the Credit Policy.

(g) Without Bank’s consent, Company shall not create or suffer to exist (by operation of law or otherwise, and except as may be created by Bank) any lien, encumbrance or security interest upon or with respect to any of the Accounts or Receivables owned by Bank which adversely affects Bank’s ownership interest in the Accounts or Receivables. Company shall immediately notify Bank of the existence of any such unauthorized lien, encumbrance or security interest and shall defend the right, title and interest in, to and under the Accounts and Receivables against all claims of third parties.

(c) Company shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any notification of an Indemnifiable Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of Company’s election to assume the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim and, through counsel of the Company’s own choosing, and at its own expense, to commence the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with Company in connection therewith if such cooperation is so requested and the request is reasonable; provided that Company shall hold the Indemnified Party harmless from all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation; provided, further, that if the Indemnifiable Claim relates to a matter before a Regulatory Authority, the Indemnified Party may elect, upon written notice to Company (the “Assumption Notice”), to assume the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim at the cost of and with the cooperation of Company. If the Company assumes responsibility for the settlement or defense of any such claim, (i) Company shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate at the Indemnified Party’s expense (for which no claim of Losses shall be made) in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided that, in the event that both Company and the Indemnified Party are defendants in the proceeding and the Indemnified Party has reasonably determined and notified Company that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them, then the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in the aggregate shall be borne by Company; and (ii) Company shall not settle any Indemnifiable Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent, except that Company may settle any Indemnifiable Claim upon notice to the Indemnified Party if the settlement involves only the payment of money damages and no admission of liability by any Person and no injunctive relief, and the settlement is subject to a confidentiality provision prohibiting disclosure of the terms of the settlement.

its reasonable discretion; provided that the Indemnified Party shall notify Company in writing prior thereto of any compromise or settlement of any such Indemnifiable Claim and shall consider in good faith and discuss with Company any objection to the settlement Company may express.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program Documents, if the Parties are unable to reach agreement regarding such modifications, changes or additions to the Program or the Program Documents within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Parties initially meet, either Party may exercise any applicable termination right pursuant to this Agreement and terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Party.

30. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended orally, but only by a written instrument signed by all Parties.

All waivers must be in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be enforced.
31. Entire Agreement. The Program Documents, including exhibits, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous negotiations or oral or written agreements with regard to the same subject matter.
32. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by the Parties in any number of counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be equally effective as delivery of an original manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
33. Interpretation. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments thereto, and the same shall be construed neither for nor against either Party, but shall be given a reasonable interpretation in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and the intent of the Parties.

thirty (30) days after the date of such cause, the Party not so affected may at any time after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, during the continuance of such inability, terminate this Agreement on giving written notice to the other Party and without payment of a termination fee or other penalty. To the extent that the Party not affected by a Force Majeure Event is unable to carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under this Agreement because a prerequisite obligation of the Party so affected has not been performed, the Party not affected by a Force Majeure Event also is excused from such performance during such period. A “Force Majeure Event” as used in this Agreement shall mean an unanticipated event that is not reasonably within the control of the affected Party or its subcontractors (including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of governmental authorities, strikes, war, riot and any other causes of such nature), and which by exercise of reasonable due diligence, such affected Party or its subcontractors could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, overcome or obtain, or cause to be obtained, a commercially reasonable substitute therefor. No Party shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder if its failure of performance is due to removable or remediable causes which such Party fails to remove or remedy using commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time period. Either Party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event shall give prompt notice of such fact to the other Party, followed by written confirmation of notice, and shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with all reasonable dispatch.

Neither Party has agreed to pay any fee or commission to any agent, broker, finder, or other person for or on account of such person’s services rendered in connection with this Agreement that would give rise to any valid claim against the other Party for any commission, finder’s fee or like payment.
