			(iii) If at any time E@W determines that RB does not have sufficient financial resources to support the anticipated growth of the Program during the subsequent twelve (12) months, E@W shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice to Republic. Upon receipt of said notice, RB shall have the right of first refusal to prove to E@W that it does have sufficient financial resources to support the anticipated growth in products.

			(vi) Any verbal or written notice from any Regulatory Authorities prohibiting the offering of the Accounts by RB or any change or modification to the Program or this Agreement required by any Governmental Authority which, in RB’s discretion, limits or unreasonably reduces the commercial viability or profitability of the Program. RB shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement upon E@W’s failure to prevent violations of Law or engaging in unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices.
		

		
			(vii) Any change in applicable Law or interpretation of Law that makes the Program illegal or, in the reasonable discretion of either Party, undesirable or inadvisable provided, however, that if RB terminates this Agreement due to any change in applicable Law or an interpretation of Law, then RB will use its best commercial efforts to lawfully continue the Program for at least six (6) months from the date of termination or shorter time period if E@W is able to replace RB with another financial institution.

			6.    Confidentiality and Use of Customer Information.
		

		
			(a) Ownership and Joint Marketing.
		

		
			(i) RB shall own all information collected on the Application regarding all Applicants (“Applicant Information”) including, without limitation, names, addresses, demographic information and financial information, provided that use of such Applicant Information by either Party shall be consistent with the limitations imposed by the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder including, without limitation, 12 CFR Part 364, Appendix B, and other privacy Laws applicable to the Parties.
		

		
			(ii) E@W and RB consider themselves to be in a joint marketing relationship under this Agreement as defined in Section 216.13 of the Federal Reserve Regulation P (“Reg. P”). E@W and RB shall describe the existence of such joint marketing relationship as required by Section 216.6(a)(5) of Reg. P in their initial, annual and/or revised privacy notices, as applicable. Consistent with Section 216.13 of Reg. P, E@W and its Affiliates and Third-Party Service Providers shall not disclose or use any Applicant Information provided by RB other than to carry out the purposes designing, developing, and administering the Program, for the purposes described in Section 216.6(a) of Reg. P or as permitted pursuant to Reg. P.
		

		
			(iii) Neither RB nor E@W shall rent, sell, disclose or otherwise use information concerning any Applicant received by such Party other than to perform such Party’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

			(b) RB and E@W shall treat in confidence this Agreement and all non-public documents, materials, and all other information related to this Agreement including, but not limited to, all proprietary information, data, trade secrets, business information and other information of any kind whatsoever which (i) a Party (“Discloser”) discloses in writing to the other Party (“Recipient”) or to which Recipient obtains access in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement, and which (ii) relates to (A) the Discloser or (B) consumers who have made confidential or proprietary information available to E@W or a Third-Party Service Provider, that was obtained during the course of negotiations leading to, and during the performance of, this Agreement (collectively “Confidential Information”). Neither Party shall disclose Confidential Information to any third-party, except that Confidential Information may be provided to a Governmental Authority having or asserting jurisdiction over a Party or a Party’s Affiliates, counsel, accountants, financial or tax advisors without the consent of the other Party; provided that, except for any Governmental Authority, such parties agree to hold such Confidential Information in confidence. As used herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, the term “Confidential Information” does not include information which (v) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a Party receiving such information (a “Restricted Party”), (w) is independently developed by a Restricted Party without violating this Agreement, (x) was available to the Restricted Party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Restricted Party, (y) becomes available to the Restricted Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party; provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the other Party or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Restricted Party by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, or (z) is required by Law to be disclosed.
		

		
			(c) If a Restricted Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, then such Restricted Party will provide the other Party with prompt notice of such request(s) 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. If 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, then Restricted Party may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information 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 so furnished as a Restricted Party would reasonably exercise in assuring the confidentiality of any of its own Confidential Information.
		

		
			(d) The Recipient of Customer Information shall not disclose or use such Customer Information other than to carry out the purposes for which the Discloser has provided the Customer Information, or for which one of its Affiliates or agents disclosed such Customer Information to Recipient.

			(e) Recipient shall not disclose any Customer Information other than on a “need to know” basis and then only, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to: (1) Affiliates of Discloser, provided that such Affiliates shall be restricted in use and redisclosure of the Customer Information to the same extent as Discloser; (2) its employees, officers, auditors and attorneys; (3) Affiliates of Recipient provided that such Affiliates shall be restricted in use and redisclosure of the Customer Information to the same extent as Recipient; (4) carefully selected subcontractors provided that such subcontractors shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement no less restrictive than the provisions of this Section 6; or (5) carefully selected independent contractors, agents, and consultants hired or engaged by Recipient, provided that all such persons are subject to a confidentiality agreement which shall be no less restrictive than the provisions of this Section 6. The restrictions set forth herein shall apply during the Term of this Agreement and shall continue following the termination hereof.
		

		
			(f) E@W will promptly provide RB with notice of any attempted or actual breach resulting in unauthorized intrusion(s) or disclosure of the Customer Information that it becomes aware of and shall specify the corrective action taken. E@W shall assess the nature and scope of any incident, mitigate the effects thereof and specifically identify the Customer Information that has or may have been improperly accessed or misused. E@W shall take commercially reasonable steps under applicable Laws to contain and control any incident of breach of security relating to the Customer Information, assist RB with all reasonably requested steps under applicable Laws needed to notify Borrowers of any such breach and prevent harm or inconvenience from such breach, and agrees upon request to permit RB to investigate the circumstances (including permitting third parties to conduct such investigation) and indemnify RB for any loss or costs associated with any breach of security or unauthorized disclosure, including attorneys’ fees and costs.
		

		
			(g) Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, or at any time upon the reasonable request of RB, E@W shall return (or destroy) all RB Customer Information in its possession or in the possession of any of its representatives, contractors or third parties. Any RB Customer Information maintained in an electronic format shall be destroyed or returned to RB in a format as directed by RB or, in the event no directions have been received, in an industry standard format. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if E@W is in possession of tangible property containing the RB Customer Information, then E@W may retain one archived copy of such material, subject to the terms of this Agreement, which may be used solely for regulatory or litigation purposes and may not be used for any other purpose. Compliance with this Section 6(h) shall be certified in writing, including a statement that no copies of RB Customer Information have been retained, except as necessary for regulatory or litigation purposes.
		

		
			7.    Specific Performance in the Event of Breach.
		

		
			The Parties agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation in the event of a breach by a Restricted Party of its obligations under Section 6. Therefore, in the

			event of any such breach by the Restricted Party, in addition to its other remedies at law or in equity, the other Party shall be entitled to an order requiring the Restricted Party to specifically perform its obligations under Section 6 or enjoining the Restricted Party from breaching Section 6 without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, and the Restricted Party shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law.
		

		
			8.    Indemnification.
		

		
			(a) E@W hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless RB, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, employees, representatives, agents, attorneys, successors and permitted assigns of such entities (the “RB Indemnified Parties”) against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, demands, suits, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred and as incurred by any such RB Indemnified Parties as a result of, or with respect to, or arising from any: (i) act, omission or failure by E@W and/or any Third-Party Service Provider retained by E@W to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by E@W or any Third-Party Service Provider retained by E@W pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) failure of E@W or any Third Party Service Provider retained by E@W to comply with the Program Guidelines or applicable Law; (iv) unlawful use of any Customer Information by E@W or any Third-Party Service Provider retained by E@W; and (v) demands and claims made by any person or entity or representative thereof, either individually or as part of a class action by or on behalf of Borrowers and/or other persons, and any inquiries, investigation or action by any Governmental Authorities, in each case solely with respect to any act, omission or failure by E@W and/or any Third-Party Service Provider retained by E@W in connection with the marketing of the Program in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall E@W be liable to any RB Indemnified Party for the non-payment of principal, interest or fees by Borrowers on the Accounts or for any Losses arising out of any of the foregoing to the extent arising from any (x) act of fraud, embezzlement or criminal activity of RB or any of its employees, agents or representatives, (y) negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by RB or any of its employees, agents or representatives, or (z) failure of RB or any of its employees, agents or representatives to comply with, or perform, its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
		

		
			(b) RB hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless E@W, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, employees, representatives, agents, attorneys, successors and permitted assigns of such entities (the “E@W Indemnified Parties”) against any and all Losses suffered or incurred and as incurred by any such E@W Indemnified Parties as a result of, or with respect to, or arising from any: (i) misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to fulfill a covenant of RB contained in this Agreement; (ii) any act or omission of RB or any Third-Party Service Provider retained by RB which violates any Law (except in the case of any actions or class actions as referenced in Section 8(a)(v) above), or the bylaws of RB; or (iii) any obligation owed by RB or any Third Party Service Provider retained by RB; provided, however, in no event shall RB be liable to any

			E@W Indemnified Party for any Losses arising out of any of the foregoing to the extent arising from any (x) act of fraud, embezzlement or criminal activity of E@W or any of its employees, agents or representatives, (y) negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by E@W or any of its employees, agents or representatives, or (z) failure of E@W or any of its employees, agents or representatives to comply with, or perform, its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
		

		
			(c) The RB Indemnified Parties and the E@W Indemnified Parties are sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnified Parties” and E@W or RB, as indemnitor hereunder, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party.” An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnity from an Indemnifying Party for its own costs and expenses incurred in defending itself against a claim brought against it by an Indemnifying Party.
		

		
			(d) Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of any indemnified Loss hereunder, 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 support and verify the claim asserted.
		

		
			(e) Except in the case of Section 8(a)(v), in which case RB may at its option assume control of the defense of the matter and choose counsel appropriate to handle the matter, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of a claim which it is indemnifying, or prosecute a claim resulting from such indemnified claim, and may employ counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to reasonably employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate therein. The Indemnified Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim effected without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall have no right to object to any equitable relief the Indemnified Party may agree to provide. However, if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense or prosecution of a claim within thirty (30) calendar days after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may settle such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim which provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to so defend or prosecute such claim, the Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith, all at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense.
		

		
			(f) Each Party knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any right to claim for punitive damages in connection with any claim or dispute, action or proceeding against the other Party arising under or in connection with this Agreement, in tort, at law or in equity, or by virtue of any statute or otherwise.

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its (Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures). Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

			(i) The arbitrators shall be obligated to apply the rules of evidence and the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky applicable to actions litigated in the courts of the Commonwealth of Kentucky; and
		

		
			(ii) The arbitrators shall be deemed to have exceeded their powers, authority or jurisdiction if the award they render is not correct under the applicable law and properly admitted evidence, if the arbitrators grant relief not expressly permitted under this Agreement or if the arbitrators otherwise fail to comply with the terms and limitations of this paragraph. In the event of any conflict between the rules of JAMS and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

			EXHIBIT D
		

		
			General Description of Accounts at Program Initiation
		

		
			Brand: Elastic.
		

		
			Account: The Account is an unsecured, open-ended line of credit account offered by RB. At initiation, the credit limit will be between $200 and $3,500 and the Borrower will be able to make draws in increments of $20. In order to open an Account, the Borrower must establish and maintain a deposit account with a financial institution. The Borrower may request advances online or by phone. RB will fund advances by depositing funds in the Borrower’s deposit account or mailing a paper check.
		

		
			Additional Advances: Subject to limits established by RB, Borrower may receive additional advances at any time up to the applicable credit limit so long as the Borrower is in compliance with the then-applicable terms and conditions with respect to such Borrower’s Account. There is a $20 minimum advance requirement.
		

		
			Repayment. Advances on the Accounts may be repaid in one (1) to twenty (20) payments with a minimum principal payment due on an Account of 5% of the current balance or $50, whichever is greater (for bi-weekly and semi-monthly account holders), or one (1) to ten (10) payments with a minimum payment due on an Account of 10% of the current balance or $100, whichever is greater (for monthly account holders). The first payment will be due in no less than fourteen (14) or thirty (30) calendar days after the initial advance is made. Thereafter, payments are due each payday (approximately every fourteen (14) or thirty (30) calendar days).
		

		
			Advance Fee. There is not periodic interest accrual on the Accounts. RB will receive an advance fee when an advance is taken from the Account (the “Advance Fee”) equal to five percent (5%) of the principal amount of such advance. RB will deduct the Advance Fee from the sum deposited in the Borrower’s deposit account or from the amount of the paper check mailed to Borrower.
		

		
			Minimum Charge. If the Borrower pays the full amount of the advance on an Account by the first payment due date, then RB will not charge any additional fees. If the Borrower does not repay the advance in full by the first payment due date, then the Borrower must pay a minimum principal payment of $50 or $100, as described under Repayment above, plus a minimum charge (the “Minimium Charge”) approximately equal to five percent (5%) of the portion of the advance outstanding for that payment period. A table specifying the Minimum Charge is disclosed in the account holder’s loan agreement.
		

		
			Additional Fees. The product will not have any associated fees other than the Advance Fees and Minimum Charges.
		

		
			Reporting. Borrower’s repayment history shall be reported to the credit bureaus.

			31

		





 



		

		
			I.       Statement of Commitment
		

		
			It is the requirement of RCS Third Party to comply fully with the USA PATRIOT Act, and all related laws and implementing regulations, such as those established by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC). RCS Third Party must recognize and be committed to fulfilling its responsibilities in assisting government and law enforcement authorities in combating money laundering, drug trafficking and other criminal activity.
		

		
			II.      Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance Program
		

		
			RCS Third Party shall provide for the continued administration of a program reasonably designed to assure and monitor AML compliance requirements as stated in this the “BSA/AML and OFAC Requirements” document (or “Requirements”). The written requirements document includes requirements for RCS Third Party’s Anti-Money Laundering program, Customer Identification Program, reporting and record-keeping requirements, and other applicable responsibilities.
		

		
			As required by 12 CFR 21.21, the Anti-Money Laundering requirements are also reasonably designed to ensure:
		

		
			A.     A system of internal controls to assure ongoing compliance;
		

		
			B.      Independent testing of compliance;
		

		
			C.      A designated individual or individuals responsible for coordinating and monitoring day to day compliance; and
		

		
			D.     Training for appropriate personnel.
		

		
			As so incorporated into these Requirements, RCS Third Party employees (Associates) are responsible for compliance with applicable procedures and internal controls set forth in the Requirements.
		

		
			Generally speaking, the programs must provide for activity review and detection of the three stages of money laundering:
		

		
			a.      Placement – The introduction of illegal proceeds into the financial system
		

		
			b.       Layering – moving funds among accounts so as to obfuscate the origin and ownership of the funds
		

		
			c.      Integration – transition of funds off of laundering instruments back into economy
		

		
			III.    Board of Directors Responsibilities
		

		
			In the event the entity is managed by a Board of Directors or its equivalent, it is the continuing responsibility of the Board of Directors, to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of RCS Third
		

		
			[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			32

		





 



		

		
			Party’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Program. As such, the Board should review and approve the AML Program annually, as well as review and approve any proposed Requirements amendments. In addition, the Board should affirm annually that RCS Third Party’s AML Program, including required Customer Identification Program, is designed to provide reasonable assurance of compliance consistent with RCS Third Party’s risk profile.
		

		
			The Board should receive periodic reports regarding RCS Third Party’s AML Program components, to include risk assessments, suspicious activity reports summary, independent testing scope and results, associate training obligations and participation levels, and any other information considered relevant to RCS Third Party’s AML oversight.
		

		
			The responsibilities and oversight actions by RCS Third Party’s Board of Directors should be documented in Board Committee minutes in conformity with legally required corporate governance practices.
		

		
			IV.    Associate Responsibilities
		

		
			Associates are responsible for complying with these AML requirements. Non-compliance with RCS Third Party’s established AML requirements, processes, and procedures may result in disciplinary action up to and including possible termination. In addition, violating or failure to comply with AML laws and regulations may result in civil and criminal sanctions against an Associate.
		

		
			V.     AML Officer Responsibilities
		

		
			Third Party should ensure that a BSA\AML Compliance Officer is designated at all times, with necessary authority and resources to effectively conduct the overall administration of RCS Third Party’s AML Program. The BSA\AML Compliance Officer is responsible for coordinating and monitoring day-to-day compliance of the AML Program.
		

		
			VI.    AML Risk Assessment
		

		
			RCS Third Party should conduct, at least annually, a risk assessment designed to identify key risks within its corporate operations (to include products, services, customers, and geographic locations). Information regarding RCS Third Party’s risk profile should be reported to the Board of Directors, or its equivalent, if applicable annually.
		

		
			VII.   System of Internal Controls
		

		
			It is the requirement of RCS Third Party to provide for a system of internal controls reasonably designed to assure compliance with all AML responsibilities. Procedures and controls should include such key areas as reporting responsibilities, record-keeping, detection and reporting of suspicious activity, and due diligence programs.

			33

		





 



		

		
			VIII.   Independent Program Testing
		

		
			RCS Third Party should provide for a program of independent testing of the AML Program to be conducted at least bi-annually, by internal staff by designation not associated with BSA\AML Compliance Officer, to ensure impartiality. The independent review should address the overall integrity and effectiveness of the AML Program, reporting and recordkeeping requirements, the AML risk assessment, appropriate transaction testing, training adequacy, integrity and accuracy of management information systems, and other key controls deemed necessary. Results of independent testing should be reported to the Board of Directors, or its equivalent, if applicable in conjunction with corrective action plans as required, with a copy of report and corrective action plans provided to Bank.
		

		
			IX.    Training Requirements
		

		
			All Associates, as well as the Board of Directors or its equivalent if applicable, are responsible for understanding their roles and responsibilities under RCS Third Party’s AML Program. RCS Third Party should develop and communicate an annual AML Training Plan designed to provide such training of AML laws and regulations, including OFAC and CIP requirements. RCS Third Party shall require that all Associates and if applicable, Board of Directors, or its equivalent, if applicable, must fulfill annual training and continuing education requirements established by the AML Training Plan and that all newly hired associates are trained on AML requirements within 30 days of start date. As part of RCS Third Party’s AML Program requirements, the AML Training Plan should be approved annually and training progress reports provided to ensure adequate oversight. The AML training plan, records of training completion and copies of training materials should be made available to the Bank upon request.
		

		
			X.     Detecting and Reporting Suspicious Activity
		

		
			Associates have a duty to understand their responsibilities for detecting and reporting suspicious activity. It is the requirement of RCS Third Party that Associates follow established “Know Your Customer” (or KYC) procedures; that any customer, Associate, or other suspicious activity (or possible suspicious activity) be promptly reported to designated persons as set forth in the Requirements; that all such reports be timely and diligently investigated by such designated persons; and to timely and comprehensively fulfill all suspicious activity report filing requirements by providing proper notice to RCS Third Party BSA/AML Compliance Officer. Any suspicious activity identified by RCS Third Party should be reported to the Bank’s Non-Traditional BSA Manager or designated BSA Staff in a timely manner upon identification via the established agreed upon reporting mechanism. RCS Third Party shall require that all Associates should maintain the strict confidentiality of all such suspicious activity investigations and reports.
		

		
			In pursuit of its obligations to diligence and oversight, RCS Third Party should develop or acquire tools for use in reviewing account activity. These tools, when deployed in conjunction with a formal risk management training program should represent a broad spectrum approach to detecting and reporting suspicious activity. Per the Requirements, tools and resources should include the following:
		

		
			a.       Daily application reviews of:
		

		
			i.         Account applications at addresses with prior known fraud history
		

		
			[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			34

		





 



		

		
			ii.        Account application details, to include social security numbers, dates of birth and phone numbers, that may match prior established account with a history of suspect behavior
		

		
			iii.       Account applications that appear to be associated with identified fraud rings
		

		
			iv.       Unusual or suspicious transactional loan activity
		

		
			v.         Any other alerts related to fraud or suspicious activity, as applicable
		

		
			Training for use and implementation of these resources is an ongoing process with emphasis on associative analysis and metrics base analytics is recommended. Training courses should include overview of AML requirements, OFAC program measures, and detailed review of Customer activity and behavior.
		

		
			Records of activity reviews, including copies of any correspondence and SAR’s should be retained in a central repository (such as a Client Relationship Manager), which provides record keeping at the account level. Any activity which is reviewed or investigated must be logged in the respective account record on the repository. Records of activity reviews should be held on file for no less than 5 years within the repository.
		

		
			XI.    Customer Identification Program
		

		
			As required by 31 CFR 1020.220, RCS Third Party should maintain a written Customer Identification Program (CIP) designed to be appropriate for the size and type of business or product and intended to enable associates to form a reasonable belief that the true identity of each Customer is known. RCS Third Party’s CIP should include required Customer information, risk-based procedures for verifying the identity of the Customer, recordkeeping requirements and retention, comparison with government lists, and adequate Customer notice. The CIP should be detailed in the Requirements and is subject to compliance by all associates with CIP responsibilities.

			With respect to loans that establish an ongoing relationship with a Customer, RCS Third Party shall review Customer information regarding each Customer, and shall be responsible for ensuring that each Customer meets the requirements of the CIP Program. Generally, the CIP program should adhere to the following structure for Customer accounts.
		

		
			The following Personally Identifiable Information (PII) should be collected and stored at the account level:
		

		
			i.        Legal Name

			CIP information provided at the time of application for an account may be verified by a “non-documentary” method. Non-documentary CIP validation methods require passing provided data to a Bank approved third party service provider or bureau for ID verification. In such cases where the ID check process fails, an exception occurs or in a retail environment where third party validation is not possible, documentary evidence supporting account holder identity should be collected in order to continue with the application. The information collected should include:
		

		
			A.     Copy of Driver’s License or another form of government issued photo ID. The ID type, location of issuance, issuance date (where available), expiration date and ID number should be captured and stored at the account level.
		

		
			AND
		

		
			B.      Copy of additional documentation (such as recent utility bill or other 3rd party verifiable document) with name and address matching applicant RCS Third Party may use waterfall logic or strict four factor requirement for its CIP validation based on Bank’s approval. Bureau result codes which qualify as passes per that waterfall logic or strict four factor validation may be considered validating result codes for RCS Third Party CIP process with Bank’s approval.
		

		
			All CIP information (Legal Name, Date of Birth, Physical Street Address, and Government Issued ID number) should be held in a secured, encrypted fashion for 5 years from date of account closure.
		

		
			All documentary and non-documentary CIP verification information should be held in a secured, encrypted fashion for 5 years from date of application.
		

		
			CIP requirements must be disclosed to applicants prior to application (ex. via pop-up boxes on registration websites) and the notice content and format must be approved by the Bank prior to use.
		

		
			XII.   OFAC compliance
		

		
			Pursuant to the Requirements, all new accounts where Personally Identifiable Information is present must be verified against the OFAC screening system. OFAC screening will be performed by RCS Third Party, or if agreed upon by both parties, the Bank, prior to the Customer receiving funding. All Customer accounts are subject to OFAC screening prior to account approval.
		

		
			Accounts which appear to have Customer data matching OFAC watch list identities will be validated by RCS Third Party or if agreed upon by both parties, the Bank, as follows:
		

		
			1.       Verifying that the OFAC watch list match is a match against a certified OFAC watch list.
		

		
			[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

			2.       Verify that the match is of an individual to an individual not an individual to a company.
		

		
			3.       Verify at least two parts of the matching individuals name matches the OFAC data, including aliases.
		

		
			4.      Verify a third portion of the Customer ID against the OFAC list to provide final confirmation of a true match.
		

		
			5.       Record of all above matches, whether resulting in an OFAC match or not, will be maintained for 5 years.
		

		
			Upon verification of a valid OFAC watch list match against new account application, the following steps must be taken either by the RCS Third Party or if agreed upon by both parties, the Bank:
		

		
			1.       The account which was matched should be blocked from use. No funds should be made available to the Customer
		

		
			2.       If the RCS Third Party is handling the OFAC screening process, the RCS Third Party must contact the Bank’s Non-Traditional BSA Manager, or designated BSA Staff.
		

		
			3.      OFAC should be notified (Bank responsibility)
		

		
			Additionally, any transactions from OFAC sanctioned countries must be prohibited. As that list of sanctioned countries may change from time to time, no list is provided here, however it is understood that any such list published and provided by Bank or the Office of Foreign Assets Control will serve as a strict guide for compliance.
		

		
			Evidence of OFAC must be maintained by the RCS Third Party or if agreed upon by both parties, the Bank, and held on file for a period of no less than 5 years.
		

		
			RCS Third Party and Bank acknowledge that the OFAC compliance requirements may be satisfied by RCS Third Party individually or in conjunction with Bank.
