THIS LOAN ACCOUNT PROGRAM AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of December 10, 2007

WHEREAS, Company is in the business of providing
certain services necessary for the origination of consumer
installment loans;
WHEREAS, Bank is in the business of originating
various types of consumer loans, including installment loans;
and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to develop a program
pursuant to which Company will market, and Bank will originate,
installment loans for qualifying consumers identified by
Company.
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.
|

shall be defined as set forth in Schedule 1
.
|
|
2.
|
|

the Loan Accounts using any form of media determined to be
appropriate by Company. Bank agrees that Company may refer to Bank
and the Program in promotional and marketing materials, including
marketing scripts, upon the condition that any references to the
Bank and/or the Program in any such materials must receive the
prior written approval of Bank, which approval shall not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Company shall ensure that all
promotional and marketing materials shall be accurate and not
misleading in all material respects. Company shall ensure that all
promotional and marketing materials and strategies comply with
Applicable Laws.
|
|
3.
|
|
Extension of Credit
. Company acknowledges
that approval of an Application creates a creditor-borrower
relationship between Bank and Borrower which involves, among other
things, the disbursement of Loan Proceeds. Nothing in this
Agreement shall obligate Bank to extend credit to an Applicant or
disburse Loan Proceeds if Bank determines that doing so would be an
unsafe or unsound banking practice. Bank shall use reasonable
commercial efforts to provide Company prior notice of a decision
not to extend credit to an Applicant or disburse Loan Proceeds in
reliance on the preceding sentence and, in all instances where Bank
does not provide such prior notice, Bank shall provide Company
prompt notice after making a decision not to extend credit to an
Applicant or disburse Loan Proceeds in reliance on the preceding
sentence.

terms of Loan Accounts) as Exhibit A ;
(ii) Credit Policy as Exhibit B ;
(iii) form of Application, including disclosures required by
Applicable Law, as Exhibit C ; and
(iv) form of Loan Account Agreement, privacy policy and
privacy notices, and all other Applicant and Borrower
communications as Exhibit D . The Consumer

consent of both Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Bank may change the
Consumer Finance Materials upon written notice provided to Company
but without Company’s prior written consent, to the extent
that such change is required by Applicable Laws or necessitated by
safety and soundness concerns. The Parties acknowledge that each
Loan Account Agreement and all other documents referring to the
creditor for the Program shall identify the Bank as the creditor
for the Loan Accounts. Company shall ensure that the Consumer
Finance Materials comply with Applicable Laws.

(a)
|
|

harmless Company and its Affiliates, and the officers, directors,
employees, representatives, shareholders, agents and attorneys of
such entities (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from
and against any and all claims, actions, liability, judgments,
damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees (“Losses”), that may arise from (i) the gross
negligence, willful misconduct or breach of any of Bank’s
obligations or undertakings under this Agreement by Bank, or
(ii) violation by Bank of any Utah or federal banking law
specifically applicable to Bank’s operations other than
Applicable Laws regarding consumer protection, consumer lending,
usury, loan collection, anti-money laundering or
privacy.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Bank and its Affiliates, and the officers, directors,
employees, representatives, shareholders, agents and attorneys of
such entities (the “Bank Indemnified Parties”) from and
against any and all Losses that may arise from Company’s
participation in the Program as contemplated by the Program
Documents (including Losses arising from a violation of Applicable
Law or a breach by Company or its agents or representatives of any
of Company’s obligations or undertakings under the Program
Documents), unless such Loss results from (i) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Bank, (ii) a breach by
Bank of any of Bank’s representations, obligations or
undertakings under the Program Documents, or (iii) a violation
by Bank of any Utah or federal banking law specifically applicable
to Bank’s operations that do not relate to Applicable Laws
regarding consumer protection, consumer lending, usury, loan
collection, anti-money laundering or privacy.
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
The
Company Indemnified Parties and the Bank Indemnified Parties are
sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnified
Parties,” and Company or Bank, as an indemnitor hereunder, is
sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnifying
Party.”
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
Any
Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly
notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of any notice of the
assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by
any third party of any legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration
or action, or if the Indemnified Party determines the existence of
any such claim or the commencement by any third party of any such
legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, whether or
not the same shall have been asserted or initiated, in any case
with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated
to provide indemnification (an “Indemnifiable Claim”),
specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss, and, if
known, the amount, or an estimate of the amount, of the Loss,
provided that failure to promptly give such notice shall only limit
the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the actual
prejudice, if any, suffered by such Indemnifying Party as a result
of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the
Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable thereafter
information and documentation reasonably requested by such
Indemnifying Party to defend against the claim asserted.

|
|
(e)
|
|
The
Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt
of any notification of an Indemnifiable Claim (a “Claim
Notice”) to notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying
Party’s election to assume the defense of the Indemnifiable
Claim and, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its own
expense, to commence the settlement or defense thereof, and the
Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in
connection therewith if such cooperation is so requested and the
request is reasonable; provided that the Indemnifying Parry 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. If the Indemnifying Party assumes responsibility for
the settlement or defense of any such claim, (i) the
Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to
participate at its expense in such settlement or defense through
counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party (subject to the consent of
the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided that, in the event that both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are defendants in the
proceeding and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably
determined and notified the Indemnifying Party that representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between them, then the fees
and expenses of one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in the
aggregate shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party; and
(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Indemnifiable
Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed for any reason if the
settlement involves only payment of money, and which consent may be
withheld for any reason if the settlement involves more than the
payment of money, including any admission by the Indemnified Party.
So long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such
Indemnifiable Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not
pay or settle such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
|
|
|
(f)
|
|
If
the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice that it
elects to undertake the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim
described therein, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to contest
vigorously any such Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right, upon notice to the Indemnifying Party, to
contest, settle or compromise the Indemnifiable Claim in the
exercise of its reasonable discretion; provided that the
Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party prior thereto
of any compromise or settlement of any such Indemnifiable Claim. No
action taken by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this paragraph
(f) shall deprive the Indemnified Party of its rights to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.

Party to third parties; provided, however, that the Restricted
Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party
(i) to the Restricted Party’s Affiliates, agents,

the confidentiality obligations hereunder by any of its Affiliates,
agents, representatives or subcontractors, (ii) to the

questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to
disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, the
Restricted Party will provide the other Party with prompt notice of
such requests) so that the other Party may seek an appropriate
protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive the
Restricted Party’s compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement. In the event that the other Party does not seek such a
protective order or other remedy, or such protective order or other
remedy is not obtained, or the other Party grants a waiver
hereunder, the Restricted Party may furnish that portion (and only
that portion) of the Confidential Information of the other Party
which the Restricted Party is legally compelled to disclose and
will exercise such efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential
Information of the other Party so furnished as the Restricted Party
would exercise in assuring the confidentiality of any of its own
confidential information.

Amendment and Waiver
. This Agreement may be
amended only by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties.
The failure of a Party to require the performance of any term of
this Agreement or the waiver by a Party of any default under this
Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent enforcement of such term
and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. All
waivers must be in writing and signed by the Party against whom the
waiver is to be enforced.
|
|
24.
|
|
Entire Agreement
. The Program Documents,
including exhibits, constitute the entire agreement between the
Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof, and supersede
any prior or contemporaneous negotiations or oral or written
agreements with regard to the same subject matter.
|
|
25.
|
|
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.
|
|
26.
|
|
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.
|
|
27.
|
|
Agreement Subject to Applicable
Laws . If
(a) either Party has been advised by legal counsel of a change
in Applicable Laws or any judicial decision of a court having
jurisdiction over such Party or any interpretation of a Regulatory
Authority that, in the view of such legal counsel, would have a
materially adverse effect on the rights or obligations of such
Party under this Agreement or the financial condition of such
Party, (b) either Party shall receive a request of any
Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over such Party, including
any letter or directive of any kind from any such Regulatory
Authority, that prohibits or restricts such Party from carrying out
its obligations under this Agreement, or (c) either Party has
been advised by legal counsel that there is a material risk that
such Party’s or the other Party’s continued performance
under this Agreement would violate Applicable Laws, then the
Parties shall meet and consider in good faith any modifications,
changes or additions to the Program or the Program Documents that
may be necessary to eliminate such result. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Program Documents, including Section 11
hereof, if the Parties are unable to reach agreement regarding such
modifications, changes or additions to the Program or the Program
Documents within ten (10) Business Days after the Parties
initially meet, either Party may terminate this Agreement upon five
(5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other
Party. A Party may suspend performance of its obligations under
this Agreement, or require the other Party to suspend its
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, upon providing
the other Party advance written notice, if any event described in
subsections 27(a), (b) or (c) above occurs.
|
16
|
28.
|
|
Force Majeure
. If any Party shall be
unable to carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under
this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event, then the
performance of the obligations under this Agreement of such Party
as they are affected by such cause shall be excused during the
continuance of the inability so caused, except that should such
inability not be remedied within 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 therefore. 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.

payment is expressly provided herein, all payments under this
Agreement shall be made by ACH transfer to the bank accounts

the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall fail to make any
payment required of it under this Agreement as a result of a breach
or alleged breach by the other Party of any of its obligations
under this Agreement or any other agreement, provided that the
making of any payment hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by
the Party making the payment of any rights it may have under the
Program Documents or by law.
|
|
37.
|
