LENDING DIVISION
AMENDED AND
RESTATED
NON-RECOURSE LOAN SALE AND MASTER
SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Loan Sale
and Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made
between MidCountry Bank, through its Pioneer Military Lending
Division (“MidCountry Bank”), Pioneer Funding, Inc.
(“Funding”) and the other affiliated entities which are
signatories hereto (Funding and such other entities being
collectively referred to as “Pioneer”) and UMB Bank,
N.A. (“Agent”) is made effective as of June 12, 2009
(the “Effective Date”).
Agent is a party to that certain
Secured Senior Lending Agreement dated as of June 12, 2009
(the “Lending Agreement”) between Pioneer, Agent, and
certain other lenders pursuant to which Agent and the other lenders
have agreed to provide financing to Pioneer to finance acquisition
of consumer loans made to military personnel. This Agreement is an
Exhibit to the Lending Agreement and is executed in connection
therewith and it states the terms and conditions by which
MidCountry Bank, WITHOUT RECOURSE to MidCountry Bank, will
sell such consumer loans, to Funding and provide various services
to Pioneer, including consumer loan servicing and retail
installment contract servicing (collectively, the
“Services”). This Agreement is intended to cover any
and all Services requested by Pioneer and provided by MidCountry
Bank during the term of this Agreement. Defined terms used herein,
but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to
them in the Lending Agreement.

Term of Agreement;
Termination
|
(a) The
term of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and, unless
terminated as provided herein, will expire five years later;
provided, however, on each anniversary of the Effective Date, the
term hereof shall be extended automatically for an additional
one-year period.
(b) Any
party may terminate this Agreement upon not less than one hundred
eighty (180) days advance written notice to the other parties. Any
termination of this Agreement will not affect the obligation to pay
for Services actually provided during the remainder of the
term.
(c) MidCountry
Bank may also terminate this Agreement or suspend service upon
thirty (30) days notice to Pioneer and to Agent, or its successor
as Agent under the Lending Agreement in the event of (i) a payment
default by Pioneer, or (ii) Pioneer’s breach or failure to
materially comply with any other obligation of Pioneer under this
Agreement and such breach or failure is not cured within thirty
(30) days after receipt of written notice of the same.
(d) Pioneer
may also terminate this Agreement if MidCountry Bank breaches any
material term or condition of this Agreement and fails to cure such
breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of
same to the other parties hereto.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything stated in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent may
also terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice
thereof to MidCountry Bank and Pioneer, (i) in the event MidCountry
Bank or MCFC is closed for any reason or is made the subject of a
bankruptcy, conservatorship, receivership or similar proceeding or
control of which is otherwise taken over by any government
regulatory authority, (ii) military consumer loans will no longer
be purchased by Pioneer from MidCountry Bank or (iii) ownership of
MidCountry Bank is transferred to an owner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Agent and the Required Banks.
MidCountry Bank will, WITHOUT
RECOURSE to MidCountry Bank, originate for sale, to Funding
military consumer loans (the “Loans”) made by
MidCountry Bank in the ordinary course of business as previously
conducted by Pioneer, and in accordance with (i) MidCountry
Bank’s lending policy, and (ii) the continuing lending
guidelines of Pioneer, as both may be amended from time to time.
Funding will have the exclusive right to purchase, WITHOUT
RECOURSE to MidCountry Bank, all of such Loans offered for sale
by MidCountry Bank, and payment for such Loans shall be settled on
a daily basis or on such other periodic basis as the parties may
from time to time determine. All Loan sales will be upon fair and
reasonable terms no less favorable to Pioneer than would be
obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a
third party that is not an affiliate of MidCountry Bank. MidCountry
Bank may also originate for its own account loans which are not
deemed to be military consumer loans made in the ordinary course of
business as previously conducted by Pioneer.
During the term of this Agreement,
MidCountry Bank shall provide to Pioneer or Agent all of the
Services, as more fully described in Exhibit A attached hereto and
made a part hereof. Pioneer agrees to accept and pay for the
Services and for any additional Services which may be requested by
Pioneer or Agent and provided pursuant to amendments to this
Agreement.
Pioneer will pay all fees due
pursuant to Exhibit A as provided therein. Other Services may be
billed on a monthly or other periodic basis. Any payment not
received by MidCountry Bank within five (5) business days of its
due date will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half percent
(1.5%) per month, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law,
whichever is lower. Pioneer will be responsible for and will pay
all taxes and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future
imposed on the delivery of Services.

Duties of MidCountry
Bank
|
MidCountry Bank will provide all of
the Services in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations
and such standards of service as generally prevail in the financial
services industry. MidCountry Bank shall indemnify Pioneer and
Agent and hold Pioneer and Agent harmless from and against any and
all liability, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorney
fees, resulting from MidCountry Bank’s failure to comply with
the provisions of this Agreement.

mutual benefits to MidCountry Bank and Pioneer under this
Agreement:

hereby grants MidCountry Bank for the period ending upon
termination of this Agreement, unless otherwise extended as
provided herein, (i) the non-exclusive rights to use the
intellectual properties, including trade names and service marks,
of Pioneer, and (ii) the right to use the Daybreak system or such
