 In both of those situations, the loss would likely be higher than if the vehicle had been repossessed
without the extension. The benefits of granting an extension include minimizing current losses and delinquencies, minimizing lifetime
losses, getting the obligor’s account current (or close to it) and building goodwill with the obligor so that he might prioritize
us over other creditors on future payments. Our servicing staff are trained to identify when a past due obligor is facing a temporary
problem that may be resolved with an extension.

The credit assessment for granting an extension
is initially made by our collector, who bases the recommendation on the collector’s discussions with the obligor. In such assessments
the collector will consider, among other things, the following factors: (1) the reason the obligor has fallen behind in payments; (2)
whether or not the reason for the delinquency is temporary, and if it is, have conditions changed such that the obligor can begin making
regular monthly payments again after the extension; (3) the obligor’s past payment history, including past extensions if applicable; and
(4) the obligor’s willingness to communicate and cooperate on resolving the delinquency. If the collector believes the obligor is
a good candidate for an extension, he must obtain approval from his supervisor, who will review the same factors stated above prior to
offering the extension to the obligor. During 2020 we incorporated an algorithmic extension score card which provides our staff with an
objective and quantitative assessment of whether or not a obligor is a good candidate for an extension, based on the current circumstances
of the account. The extension score card was developed by our internal risk management team and is derived from the post-extension performance
of accounts in our managed portfolio.

After receiving an extension,
an account remains subject to our normal policies and procedures for interest accrual, reporting delinquency and recognizing charge-offs.
We believe that a prudent extension program is an integral component to mitigating losses in our portfolio of sub-prime automobile receivables.
