of moral turpitude, dishonesty, breach of trust or unethical business conduct, or any crime involving the Company, (iii) willful or knowing unauthorized dissemination by Executive of Proprietary Company Information; (iv) failure by

with the interests of the Company during the

directly or indirectly competing with the Company Business in any way, or acting as an officer, director, employee, consultant, stockholder, volunteer, lender, or agent of any business enterprise of the same nature as, or which is in direct
competition with, the Company Business or any business in which the Company becomes engaged during the Term of Employment For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Business” shall mean a non-prime Auto Finance. 
 11. Confidentiality. During the Term of Employment, Executive has been and will continue to be given access to a wide variety of information about
the Company, its affiliates and other related businesses that the Company considers “Proprietary Company Information.” As a condition of continued employment, Executive agrees to abide by the Company’s business policies and directives
including those on confidentiality and nondisclosure of “Proprietary Company Information.” “Proprietary Company Information” shall mean all information applicable to the business of the Company which confers or may confer a
competitive advantage upon the Company over one who does not possess the information; and has commercial value in the business of the Company or any other business in which the Company engages or is preparing to engage during Executive’s
employment with the Company. “Proprietary Company Information” includes, but is not limited to, information regarding the Company’s business plans and strategies; manuals, contracts and proposals; and other business partners and the
Company’s business arrangements and strategies with respect to them; current and future marketing or advertising campaigns; software programs whether owned or modified by third parties for the Company’s benefit; codes, formulae or
techniques; financial information; personnel information; and all ideas, plans, processes or information related to the current, future and proposed projects or other business of the Company whether or not such information would be enforceable as a
trade secret of the Company or enjoined or restrained by a court or arbitrator as constituting unfair competition. “Proprietary Company information” also includes confidential information of any third party who may disclose such
information to the Company or Executive in the course of the Company’s business. 
 11.1 Nondisclosure. Executive acknowledges
that Proprietary Company Information constitutes valuable, special and unique assets of the Company’s business and that the unauthorized disclosure of such information to competitors of the Company, or to the general public, will be highly
detrimental to the Company. Executive therefore agrees to hold Proprietary Company Information in strictest confidence. Except as shall occur as and to the extent that Executive performs his duties to the Company, Executive agrees not to disclose or
allow to be disclosed to any individual or entity, other than those individuals or entities authorized by the Company, any Proprietary Company Information that Executive has or may acquire during Executive’s employment by the Company (whether
or not developed or compiled by Executive and whether or not Executive has been authorized to have access to such Proprietary Company Information). 
 11.2 Continuing Obligation. Executive agrees that the agreement not to disclose Proprietary Company Information will be effective during Executive’s employment and continue even after Executive is no longer employed by the
Company. Any obligation not to disclose any portion of any Proprietary Company Information will continue indefinitely unless Executive can demonstrate that such information (a) has been developed independently without any reference to any
information obtained during Executive‘s employment with the Company; or (b) must be disclosed in response to a valid order by a court or government agency or is otherwise required by law. 
 11.3 Return of Company Property. On termination of employment with the Company for whatever reason, or at the request of the Company before
termination, Executive agrees to promptly deliver to the Company all records, files, computer disks, memoranda, documents, lists and other information regarding the Company and its business or containing any 

  

 5 








 
Proprietary Company Information, including all copies, reproductions, summaries or excerpts thereof, then in Executive’s possession or control, whether
prepared by Executive or others. Executive also agrees to promptly return, on termination or the Company’s request, any and all Company property issued to Executive, including but not limited to computers, cellular phones, keys and credits
cards. Executive further agrees that should Executive discover any Company property or Proprietary Company Information in Executive’s possession after the return of such property has been requested, Executive agrees to return it promptly to the
Company without retaining copies, summaries or excerpts of any kind. 
 11.4 No Violation of Rights of Third Parties. Executive
warrants that the performance of all the terms of this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by Executive prior to Executive’s employment with the Company.
Executive agrees not to disclose to the Company, or induce the Company to use, any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employers or others. Executive warrants that Executive is not a party to any other
agreement that will interfere with Executive’s full compliance with this Agreement. Executive further agrees not to enter into any agreement, whether written or oral, in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement while such provisions
remain effective. 
 12. Interference with Business Relations. 
 12.1 Interference with Customers, Suppliers and Other Business Partners. Executive acknowledges that the Company’s tenant and customer base
and its other business arrangements have been developed through substantial effort and expense, and its nonpublic business information is confidential and constitutes trade secrets. In addition, because of Executive’s position, Executive
understands that the Company will be particularly vulnerable to significant harm from Executive’s use such information for purposes other than to further the Company’s business interests. Accordingly, Executive agrees that during the Term
of this Agreement Executive’s employment with the Company, and for a period of 24 months after Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason. , Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or in
association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage the Company’s relationship with any of the customers, automobile dealers or other business partners of the Company with whom Executive has had contact, or conducted business, by
contacting them for the purpose of inducing or encouraging any of them to divert or take away business from the Company. 
 12.2
Interference with the Company’s Employees. Executive acknowledges that the services provided by the Company’s employees are unique and special, and that the Company’s employees possess trade secrets and Proprietary Company
Information that is protected against misappropriation and unauthorized use. As such, Executive agrees that during the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of 24 months after Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any
reason Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage the Company’s business by contacting any Company employees for the purpose of inducing or encouraging
them to discontinue their employment with the Company. 
 12.3 Negative Information. During the Term of Employment and thereafter,
Executive shall not disclose confidential or negative non-public information regarding, or take any action materially detrimental to the reputation of the Company or its directors, officers, employees, investors, shareholders or advisors and any
affiliates of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Affiliates”); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 10.3 shall affect any legal obligation of Executive to respond to mandatory governmental inquiries
concerning the Company Affiliates or to act in accordance with, or to establish, his rights under this Agreement. 
  

 6 








 12.4 Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s breach of the covenants
contained in Sections 9 through 11 of this Agreement inclusive (collectively “Covenants”) would cause irreparable injury and continuing harm to the Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that in the event of
any such breach, the Company seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to the fullest extent allowed by the California Arbitration Act, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.

 13. Agreement to Arbitrate. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in respect of this Agreement (or its validity,
interpretation or enforcement), the employment relationship or the subject matter hereof shall be addressed and settled by arbitration conducted in Orange County under the auspices of JAMS or other mutually agreeable alternative dispute resolution
service in accordance with that service’s rules for the resolution of employment disputes. Included within this provision are any claims based on a violation of any local, state or federal law, such as claims for discrimination or civil rights
violations. Executive understands that arbitration is in lieu of any and all other civil legal proceedings. The aggrieved party can initiate arbitration by sending written notice of any intention to arbitrate by registered or certified mail to all
parties and to the mutually agreed upon alternative dispute resolution service. The notice must contain a description of the dispute, the amount involved and the remedy sought. Any claim or controversy which may be arbitrated under this section is
subject to any applicable statute of limitations that would apply if a lawsuit was being initiated. The arbitration shall provide for written discovery and depositions adequate to give the parties access to documents and witnesses that are essential
to the dispute. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add to or to modify this Agreement, shall apply all applicable law, and shall have no lesser and no greater remedial authority than would a court of law resolving the same claim or
controversy. In addition to any other form of relief to which the parties may be entitled, injunctive relief will be available to enforce any provision of this Agreement including, without limitation, Paragraph 7 of this Agreement. The arbitrator
shall issue a written decision that includes the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision is based, and which shall be signed and dated. The decision of the arbitrator shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the parties and may
be submitted to any authorized court of law to be confirmed and enforced. The prevailing party (meaning the party that obtains substantially the relief sought by it) in such proceeding will be entitled to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses of counsel and costs incurred by reason of such arbitration if such would be available if the matter had been pursued in a court of law. Executive and the Company shall each bear his/her or its own costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in
conducting the arbitration, and, except for such disputes where Executive asserts a claim otherwise under a state or federal statute prohibiting discrimination in employment or unless otherwise required by applicable law (“a Statutory
Claim”), shall split equally the fees and administrative costs charged by the arbitrator and the alternative dispute resolution service. In disputes where Executive asserts a Statutory Claim against the Company, Executive shall be required to
pay only the initial administrative filing fee to the extent such filing fee does not exceed the fee to file a complaint in state or federal court. The Company shall pay the balance of the arbitrator’s fees and administrative costs. 

14. General Provisions. 
 14.1
Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. The Company will require any successor (whether direct
or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) or assignee to all or substantially all of the business and/or 

  

 7 








 
assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to
perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. Executive shall not be entitled to assign any of Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement without the Company’s written consent. 
 14.2 Legal Protection Clause. The Company will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Executive from and against any claim or legal action taken
against Executive as a direct consequence of the discharge of Executive’s duties or obedience to directions of the Company, in accordance with California Labor Code 2802. Such protection, if applicable, includes the cost of legal defense and
judgment, if any, against Executive. 
 14.3 Nonexclusivity of Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Executive is
not prevented from continuing or future participation in any Company benefit, bonus, incentive or other plans, programs, policies or practices provided by the Company subject to the terms and conditions of such plans, programs, or practices.

 14.4 Waiver. Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver
of any such provision, or prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement. 
 14.5
Attorneys’ Fees. Each side will bear its own attorneys’ fees in any dispute unless a statutory section at issue, if any, authorizes the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, and the arbitrator awards such
attorneys’ fees accordingly. 
 14.6 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by
an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall receive the benefit contemplated
herein to the fullest extent permitted by law. If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such arbitrator or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not be affected thereby.

convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement. This Agreement has been drafted by legal counsel representing the Company, but Executive has participated in the negotiation of its terms. Furthermore, Executive acknowledges
that Executive has had an opportunity to review and revise the Agreement and have it reviewed by legal counsel, if desired, and, therefore, 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. 
 14.8 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Except as and to the extent that Section 11 does not properly apply, each party consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in Los Angeles County,
California in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 
 14.9 Notices. Any notice required or
permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated: (a) by personal delivery when delivered personally; (b) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt;

 Target Bonus 
 Target for bonus purposes will be approved by the Board each year. For 2007 it is budget pre-tax income normalized for budget interest expense. 
 “Bonus target at 100%” above refers to the % of base salary that is payable at achievement of 100% of target. 
 Target bonus starts to be paid at achievement of 70% of defined target. Bonus % paid increases pro rata up to 100% of target at maximum. 
 Thus for each 1% above 70% of target that is achieved, the executive receives 3.33% of his/her target bonus % of base salary. 
 For example, if 90% of target is achieved, Ray Thousand will be paid 20 x 3.33%, or 66.6% of his 60% target bonus.
