 3 








 
the Eligible Lender Trustee); (ii) such successor Administrator or Sub-Administrator shall have a net worth of at least five million dollars

information provided by Administrator to Sub-Administrator, whether in written, oral or visual form, and whether owned by Administrator or third parties who have entrusted it to Administrator (collectively, “Confidential Information”),
shall be held in strict confidence by Sub-Administrator during the term of this Agreement. No Confidential Information shall be disclosed by Sub-Administrator to third parties or used by Sub-Administrator other than for purposes contemplated in this

becomes public knowledge other than disclosure by the Administrator; 
 (2) in the possession of the Sub-Administrator with full rights of
disclosure prior to receiving the information from the Administrator; 
 (3) received by the Sub-Administrator from a third party having the

expense, in seeking to obtain any protective orders or other arrangement pursuant to which the confidentiality of the Confidential Information is preserved. If such an order or arrangement 

  

 4 








 
is not obtained, Sub-Administrator shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information as is required pursuant to such Requirements. Any such
required disclosure shall not, in and of itself, change the status of the disclosed information as Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement. 
 The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) Security.
Sub-Administrator shall comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s information safeguards regulations (as such regulations appear in Title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 314), and with respect to all “customer
information” (as defined in such information safeguards regulations) and consumer information, implement and maintain an appropriate customer and consumer information security program and implement and maintain appropriate customer and consumer
information safeguards as reasonably requested by Administrator. Sub-Administrator shall use secure remote communication as appropriate. In addition, Sub-Administrator shall notify Administrator promptly in the event of Sub-Administrator becoming
aware of any actual or suspected security breach (e.g., physical trespass on a secure facility, computing systems intrusion or hacking, loss or theft of a laptop or desktop computer, loss or theft of printed materials or such events that are likely
to result or reasonably believed to result in unauthorized access to any non-public personal information disclosed or provided by Administrator or on Administrator’s behalf to Sub-Administrator or which otherwise comes into the possession of
Sub-Administrator in connection with this Agreement). 
 (c) Privacy. With respect to any information or data concerning customers or
consumers that is disclosed or provided by Administrator (or on Administrator’s behalf) to Sub-Administrator or otherwise comes into the possession of Sub-Administrator in connection with this Agreement, Sub-Administrator agrees that
Sub-Administrator and each of its Affiliates shall not sell, share or otherwise disclose to any other person or entity or use any such information or data for any purpose, except as necessary to perform the obligations of Sub-Administrator under
this Agreement, and shall comply with all reuse, redisclosure, or other requirements under the Federal Trade Commission’s financial privacy rules, including those contained in 16 CFR Section 313.11, and all applicable federal, state and
local consumer privacy and information security laws, rules and regulations regarding non-affiliated third parties to which non-public personal information is disclosed. Without limiting the forgoing, Sub-Administrator agrees that Sub-Administrator
and each of its Affiliates is prohibited from disclosing or using any “non-public personal information” with respect to customers or consumers disclosed or provided by Administrator or on Administrator’s behalf to Sub-Administrator or
which otherwise comes into the possession of Sub-Administrator in connection with this Agreement. 
 (d) Compliance with Applicable
Laws. Sub-Administrator shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations of any jurisdiction in the performance of this Agreement. 
 (e) Audit Right. Administrator shall be entitled during the term of this Agreement and six (6) months following the termination of this
Agreement, but not more than once in any given calendar year (unless Administrator shall have a reasonable belief that Sub-Administrator is not in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement), to reasonably audit and inspect the processes,
books and records of Sub-Administrator (during normal business hours upon reasonable notice) for the purpose of confirming compliance with its obligations under this Agreement.
