The Purchaser hereby appoints the Custodian, and the Custodian hereby agrees to take delivery and possession of electronic copies of the Loan Files relating to the Purchased Loans and any documents corresponding to such Loan Files received by it from time to time, as the agent and custodian for, and bailee of, the Purchaser. In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, the Custodian will issue a trust receipt substantially similar in form to Exhibit A hereto (a “Trust Receipt”) with respect to each Loan File it receives (as described in more detail below).
2.    Obligations of the Custodian.
a.Upon receipt of each Loan File, other than a Loan File relating to an Online Product, delivered to the Custodian by On Deck, as Seller, pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Custodian hereby agrees to review each Loan File as to each document and the information as to items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 14 set forth on the corresponding Loan Schedule, cross-reference such Loan File and Loan Schedule with the items listed on the checklist in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (a “Document Checklist”), and confirm receipt of each item on the Document Checklist; provided that item 14 shall only be required to be reviewed for Loan Files received more than 30 days after the date of this Agreement.
b.Upon receipt of a Loan File relating to an Online Product, delivered to the Custodian by On Deck, as Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or as Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Custodian hereby agrees to review each Loan File as to each document and the information as to items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 14 set forth on the corresponding Loan Schedule, cross-reference such Loan File and Loan Schedule with the items listed on the checklist in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (an “Online Document Checklist”), and confirm receipt of each item on the Online Document Checklist; provided that item 14 shall only be required to be reviewed for Loan Files received more than 30 days after the date of this Agreement.
c.No later than 11:00 a.m. two (2) Business Days after the delivery of any Loan File to the Custodian, the Custodian shall, with respect to each such Loan File and the related Purchased Loan:
(i) if such Loan File conforms to the information set forth on the corresponding checklist and is complete, accept such Loan File (upon such acceptance, an “Approved File” and, collectively, the “Approved Files”) and forward to the Purchaser a Trust Receipt therefor (which Trust Receipt shall evidence receipt of all Approved Files accepted by the Custodian at such time with respect to the related Loan Purchase Date); or




(ii) if any document for such Loan File, as set forth on the corresponding Document Checklist or Online Documents Checklist, as applicable, is missing or does not appear regular on its face, the Custodian shall so notify the Purchaser and On Deck by listing such Loan File on Schedule II to the Trust Receipt and such Loan File shall not be accepted by the Custodian (each such Loan File, a “Rejected File”).
The Custodian shall hold each Rejected File, at On Deck’s expense (which expense shall be the same cost as the Custodian charges the Purchaser for holding an Approved File and reconciled between Purchaser and On Deck), for a period not to exceed five (5) Business Days (the “Resolution Period”). During such Resolution Period, On Deck may recover such Rejected File from the Custodian, provide or replace any missing or irregular documents with respect to such Rejected File and/or obtain written consent from the Purchaser with respect to any defect in the Loan File and resubmit such Rejected File to the Custodian for review as described above (and, if accepted by the Custodian, upon such acceptance such Rejected File shall become an Approved File and the Custodian shall issue an updated Trust Receipt therefor as described above). The Custodian shall deliver Trust Receipts pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) by facsimile with the original to follow by overnight courier; provided, however, that the Custodian may deliver the Trust Receipt by electronic mail pursuant to procedures approved by the Purchaser until such time as the Purchaser notifies the Custodian that it no longer wishes to receive such documents using electronic mail. Any Trust Receipt sent to an electronic mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, if available, return electronic mail or other written acknowledgement).
d.The Custodian shall segregate and maintain continuous custody of the Approved Files (and, during the Resolution Period, the Rejected Files) in secure facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody. The Approved Files (and, during the Resolution Period, the Rejected Files) shall be held in safekeeping by the Custodian, individually segregated from other assets and property in the possession of the Custodian and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement and marked so as to clearly identify them as the property of the Purchaser. The Custodian shall maintain a register (in book-entry form or in such other form as it shall deem necessary or desirable) of Approved Files (and, during the Resolution Period, the Rejected Files), containing such information as the Purchaser and the Custodian may reasonably agree.
e.With respect to the documents constituting the Approved Files (and, during the Resolution Period, the Rejected Files), the Custodian shall (i) act exclusively as the custodian for, and the bailee of, the Purchaser, (ii) hold all documents constituting such Approved Files (and, during the Resolution Period, the Rejected Files) for the exclusive use and benefit of the Purchaser and (iii) not surrender control and/or possession of, sell, encumber or otherwise dispose of such Approved Files (and, during the Resolution Period, the Rejected Files) other than in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or with written instructions furnished by the Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 2.2(e) shall survive the resignation or removal of the Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.
f.From time to time, the Purchaser may forward to the Custodian additional documents for the inclusion in the Loan File (including supplemental Loan Files containing additional or modified documents or other records with respect to the Purchased Loans for which a Loan File has been previously delivered); provided, however, that no Trust Receipt shall be required to be issued in connection with the delivery of any such additional or modified documents or other records. The Purchaser hereby authorizes the Custodian to release any document to the Servicer, with the written consent of the Purchaser substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto. Within five (5) Business Days after the written request of any party hereto, the Custodian shall provide the requesting party, at the requesting party’s expense, with copies of the Approved Files or any document(s) included therein. Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with transmission of Loan File and loan documents in accordance with the terms hereof shall be delivered by the Servicer or the Purchaser, as applicable, to the Custodian prior to any shipment of any Loan File and loan document hereunder. The Servicer or the Purchaser, as applicable, will arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Custodian’s option, reimburse the Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian consistent with such instructions) and will maintain such insurance against loss or damage to Loan File and loan documents as the Servicer or the Purchaser, as applicable, deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 4.3, it is expressly agreed that in no event shall the Custodian have any liability for any losses or damages to any Person, including without limitation, the Servicer or the Purchaser, arising out of actions of the Custodian in




compliance with instructions of the Servicer or the Purchaser (unless, in case of instructions from the Servicer, the Custodian has not received the written consent of the Purchaser to any release of a document hereunder or has received written notice from the Purchaser that the Custodian shall not comply with future instructions from the Servicer). In the event the Servicer or the Purchaser fails to provide such written instructions as to the method of delivery, the Custodian is authorized to utilize, and shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses of, a nationally recognized courier service.
g.In the event that (i) any party hereto shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Approved File or a document included within such Approved File or (ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding by which any Approved File or a document included within such Approved File shall be required to be delivered other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other parties to this Agreement copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. The Custodian shall continue to hold and maintain all Approved Files that are subject to such proceedings pending a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such court, as evidenced by a copy of such court’s determination provided by the Purchaser, the Custodian shall dispose of such Approved File or a document included within such Approved File as directed by such determination or, if no such determination is made, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Reasonable expenses (including reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees and related expenses) of the Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Purchaser.
h.The Custodian shall notify the Purchaser of all written inquiries, demands, or other communications, if any, which the Custodian may receive during the term of this Agreement in respect to any of the Approved Files from a Person other than the Purchaser solely to the extent it is lawfully able to do so. The Custodian shall promptly forward to the Purchaser copies of all such written inquiries, demands, or other communications solely to the extent it is lawfully able to do so. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligations contained in this Section 2.2(h) shall only apply to Approved Files purchased by the Purchaser and not subsequently repurchased by On Deck.
i.In the event of any release by the Custodian of any Approved File or document included within such Approved File to the Servicer pursuant to paragraph (e) or (f) above, the Custodian shall provide notice of such release to each of the Purchaser and On Deck, together with the reason therefor based on the information provided by the Servicer.
j.The Custodian shall not release, or incur any liability to On Deck or any other Person for refusing to release, any item relating to any Purchased Loan to On Deck or any other Person without the express prior written consent and at the direction of the Purchaser, and the Custodian is expressly authorized to follow any written direction of the Purchaser to release and deliver to any Person, in accordance with such direction any Loan File or other item relating to any Purchased Loan.
3.Inspection. The Purchaser, at the Purchaser’s reasonable expense, shall have the right to inspect and verify the nature and completeness of the Loan File in the possession of the Custodian and the Custodian shall permit the Purchaser (or its representative or designee) to (i) inspect at all reasonable times during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice to the Custodian the Loan File in the possession of the Custodian and the records of the Custodian relating to this Agreement and the Loan File and (ii) make copies of such Loan File or the records of the Custodian relating to this Agreement or such Loan File.
4.Periodic Statements. Within two (2) Business Days after the written request of the Purchaser, the Custodian shall provide to the Purchaser a list of all the Purchased Loans for which the Custodian holds a Loan File pursuant to this Agreement. Such list may be in the form of a copy of all Loan Schedules with manual deletions to specifically denote any Purchased Loans paid in full, liquidated or released since the date of this Agreement.
5.No Sub-Custodians. The Custodian shall not appoint any sub-custodian, sub-agent or other depository to hold the Loan Files.
6.Insurance of Custodian. At its own expense, the Custodian shall maintain at all times during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect such insurance in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, all as is customary for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as custodian. Upon written request, the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a certificate of the Custodian stating that such insurance is in full force and effect.




7.Records; Access to Records. The Custodian shall create and maintain complete and accurate records, including separate ledger accounts (or other records), relating to its activities under this Agreement with respect to the Approved Files (and, during the Resolution Period, the Rejected Files) and all other property and assets, if any, held for the Purchaser under this Agreement. Upon reasonable prior written notice, and during normal business hours, the Custodian shall provide access to its records, registers, ledger accounts and other records pertaining to the Approved Files (and, during the Resolution Period, the Rejected Files) to the Purchaser’s auditors and accountants for the purpose of verification and confirmation of the Custodian’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation the requirements pertaining to the segregation and identification of assets and other record-keeping requirements.

e.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any party hereto be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if such party has been advised of the likelihood of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action.
f.The Custodian may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.
g.In the Custodian’s review of documents pursuant to this Agreement, the Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine the Loan File to determine that the contents thereof are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian shall not be required to follow any direction of the Purchaser if the Custodian reasonably believes that such direction would cause it to incur any liability, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees




and expenses), other than costs or expenses that are incurred in the ordinary course of the Custodian’s performance of its obligations hereunder unless the Purchaser has furnished the Custodian with indemnification satisfactory to it.
j.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Custodian shall not be liable for any delays in performance for causes beyond its control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, war, terrorism, epidemic, unusually severe weather, strike, restriction by civil or military authority in their sovereign or contractual capacities, transportation failure, or inability to obtain labor. In the event of any such delay, performance shall be extended for so long as such period of delay.
k.The Custodian shall be under no responsibility or duty with respect to the disposition of any Loan File while such Loan File is not in its possession.

l.The Custodian shall not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement other than for the Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses.
m.The Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder, not earlier than sixty (60) days after delivery to the Purchaser and On Deck of written notice of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Purchaser shall promptly appoint a successor custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning Custodian and the successor custodian. The Purchaser may remove the Custodian at any time upon written notice. In such event, the Purchaser shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor custodian hereunder. Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and the appointment of a successor custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 4.3(m) shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor custodian whereupon such successor custodian shall assume all of the rights and obligations and make all representations and warranties of the Custodian hereunder. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if a successor custodian has not been appointed or has not accepted an appointment by the date specified as the effective date in a notice of resignation delivered by the resigning Custodian, the date so specified by the resigning Custodian in such notice as the effective date of such resignation shall be the effective date of such resignation; provided, that such date is at least sixty (60) days after delivery of such notice to the Purchaser and On Deck. The Purchaser shall give prompt notice to On Deck and the resigning or removed Custodian of an acceptance by any successor custodian. Upon the effective date of such resignation or removal, Custodian shall (i) be reimbursed for any reasonable costs and expenses the Custodian shall incur in connection with the termination of this Agreement and (ii) deliver all of the executed copies, including, if applicable, any original executed copies, of the Loan Files in the possession of the Custodian to the Purchaser or to such Person as the Purchaser may designate to the Custodian in writing.
n.The Custodian shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with the written direction, instruction, acknowledgment, consent or any other communication from the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement.
o.Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder without the execution or filing of any instrument or other document with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
p.In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Law”), the Custodian is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Custodian. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Custodian upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available to such party in order to enable the Custodian to comply with Applicable Law.

(c)    All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given (a) in the case of notices and other communications delivered by hand or overnight courier service, upon actual receipt thereof, (b) in the case of notices and other communications delivered by certified or registered mail, upon the earlier of actual delivery and the third Business Day after the date deposited in the U.S. mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed, provided, that no notice or communication to the Purchaser shall be effective until actually received by the Purchaser, (c) in the case of notices and other communications delivered by facsimile, upon receipt by the sender of an acknowledgment or transmission report generated by the machine from which the facsimile was sent indicating that the facsimile was sent in its entirety to the recipient’s facsimile number,

Each party acknowledges and agrees that the use of electronic transmission in general, and email in particular, is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with the use thereof, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse, and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the use of electronic transmission.
7.Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

8.Amendments; Etc.. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or supplemented except by a formal written instrument (and not by an email or series of emails) signed, with respect to the Purchaser, in blue ink by Christopher A. Johnson as President of the Purchaser or Joseph A. Ferraro as Vice President and Authorized Signatory of the Purchaser, or the successor of either, on behalf of the Purchaser. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived except by a formal written instrument (and not by an email or series of emails) signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought; provided, that in the case of the Purchaser, such instrument must be signed in blue ink by Christopher A. Johnson as President of the Purchaser or Joseph A. Ferraro as Vice President and Authorized Signatory of the Purchaser, or the successor of either. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to those matters and transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes any prior agreement and understanding with respect to those matters and transactions. This Agreement may not be contradicted or supplemented by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten or oral agreements between the parties. There are no unwritten or oral agreements between the parties. The failure by any party to insist at any time upon strict compliance with this Agreement or with any of the terms of the agreement or any continued course of such conduct on its part will not constitute or be considered a waiver by that party of any of its rights or privileges. A waiver or consent, express or implied, of or to any breach or default by any party in the performance by that party of its obligations with respect to the agreement is not a waiver or consent of or to any other breach or default in the performance by that party of the same or any other obligations of that party.
9.Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. In lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to add automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.
10.Further Assurances. On Deck shall, at the request of the Purchaser or the Custodian, at any time and from time to time following the execution hereof, properly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Purchaser or the Custodian, as the case may be, all such further documents and instruments and take all such further action as such party may reasonably request to confirm or carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement.
11.Effect of Amendment and Restatement. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Current Custodial Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement. Any and all references in any Sale Agreement or Servicing Agreement to the Current Custodial Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to refer to this Agreement.




12.Authorized Representatives. Each individual designated as an authorized representative of the Purchaser, On Deck and the Custodian, respectively (an “Authorized Representative”), is authorized to give and receive notices, requests and instructions and to deliver certificates and documents in connection with this Agreement on behalf of the Purchaser, On Deck or the Custodian, as the case may be, and the specimen signature for each such Authorized Representative of the Purchaser, On Deck or the Custodian, initially authorized hereunder, is set forth on Exhibit E, Exhibit F and Exhibit G hereof, respectively. From time to time, the Purchaser, On Deck or the Custodian may, by delivering to each other a revised exhibit, change the information previously given pursuant to this Section 4.11, but each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then current exhibit until receipt of a superseding exhibit.
