First Amendment to

  Exhibit C  


SECTION IV – FEE SCHEDULE FOR SPLIT PAY AND INSTALLMENT LOAN

LENDING

(APPLIES TO APPENDIX A, SECTION IV)

 

1.

Bank agrees to pay Servicer monthly for the Services provided under Section IV of Appendix A (the “Section IV Services”). The fee for such Section IV Services (the “Section IV Services Fee”) shall become due and payable by Bank not later than the 15th calendar day following the last day of the month in which the Services were performed, or the following business day if the 15th calendar day is not a business day.

 

2.

Servicer will provide to Bank, no later than the 10th calendar day of each month, a statement of the Section IV Services Fee incurred during the immediately preceding month (the “Section IV Fee Statement”). The Section IV Services Fee shall be an amount equal to: (a) the “Cost of Section IV Services” (as defined below), plus (b) a fifteen percent (15%) markup. The parties have agreed (based upon an independent third-party study) that a 15% markup is within the reasonable markup range which would be charged by an independent party on an arm’s length basis for the Section IV Services.

 

As used herein: “Cost of Section IV Services” for a particular month means the total cost of the Section IV Services provided to Bank by Servicer pursuant to this Agreement during such month, inclusive of payroll, benefits and associated expenses.

 

3.

Bank is responsible for examining the Section IV Fee Statement and promptly reporting any errors or irregularities to Servicer.

 

4.

Bank shall be responsible for all sales, use or excise taxes levied on accounts payable by Bank to Servicer under this Agreement, excluding taxes based upon Servicer’s income, employment of personnel or taxes from which Bank is exempt, provided Bank provides Servicer written evidence of such exemption.

 

5.

The parties will meet at least annually to review Servicer’s budgeted costs for the following year for the Section IV Services. Based on that review, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to determine appropriate adjustments to the forecasted fees and/or markup percentage. Such adjustments and component costs shall be documented in writing executed by both parties, which writing need not be in the form of a formal amendment to this Agreement, but shall be attached to and become a part of this Fee Schedule for Section IV Services once executed by Bank and Servicer.

 

6.

In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Bank shall reimburse Servicer for any payments made by Servicer to any third party in exchange for split pay or installment loan generation activity delivered through the third-party sales network, including merchant referrals (e.g., a percentage of revenue from loan volume). This payment shall be a straight pass through with no mark up.
