 Exhibit 10.34 

COLLECTION AGENCY AGREEMENT 

This Collection Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of November 25, 2014 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between Evergreen Financial Investments, Inc., with its principal office at 3527 North Ridge Road, Wichita, Kansas 67205 (hereinafter referred to as “Client”) and Ad
Astra Recovery Service, Inc., with its principal office at 3611 North Ridge Road, Suite 104, Wichita, Kansas 67205 (hereinafter referred to as “Agency”). Client and Agency are collectively referred to
herein as “Parties,” and individually as a “Party,” as required by context. 
 WHEREAS, Client requires,
from time to time, collection services on certain delinquent accounts, and 
 WHEREAS, Agency is engaged in the business of performing
collection services for third parties, and 
 WHEREAS, Client wishes to retain Agency for the purpose of collecting debts owed to Client by
an obligor, i.e. the individual or entity legally liable to Client for payment of the balance on an account, and Agency agrees to be so engaged in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, terms and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 
 1. REFERRAL OF ACCOUNTS
FOR COLLECTION. From time to time and in its sole discretion, Client shall refer legally due and owing unpaid credit accounts (“Referred Accounts”) to Agency for collection of the outstanding balance due and Agency
agrees to provide the collection services described in this Agreement on such Referred Accounts (the “Services”). Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, those Referred Accounts placed by Client with Agency and the
Services performed by Agency shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 2. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF CLIENT. 

A. Accounts Referred. Client has the discretion to determine the number and types of accounts referred to Agency
pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to mean that Agency has a right to receive a given volume level of accounts referred to Agency over any period of time. 

B. Non-Exclusive Nature of Agreement. Agency understands and agrees that the
relationship between Client and Agency is not an exclusive relationship and that Client shall have the right to retain other collection agencies to provide the same services for Client as are described herein. Client is not obligated to and makes no
commitment of any kind to Agency as to any minimum number or dollar amount of accounts to be referred to Agency under this Agreement. However, once an account is referred to Agency, Client will cease all further attempts on such Referred Account and
Client warrants that it shall not refer and no other collection agencies shall attempt to collect any Referred Account while the Referred Account has been placed with Agency.

 C. Account Information. Upon referral of an account to Agency for
collection, Client will provide Agency with the following information relative to each Referred Account: the applicable creditor name and the required obligor information, including the obligor’s name, address, phone number(s) and place of
employment; the Referred Account number and balance owing; pertinent account history, account memos and documentation (“Account Information”). Thereafter, Client shall provide, in a timely manner, all reasonably necessary
assistance, information, and documents that Agency may need to respond to obligor validation requests or discovery inquiries relating to a Referred Account. Client further agrees to provide Agency with information concerning all direct payments,
adjustments, and disputes on a Referred Account within a timely manner, not to exceed thirty (30) days. 
 D.
Bankrupt Referred Account. Client shall promptly notify Agency if it receives notification, whether oral or written, of a bankruptcy of an obligor on a Referred Account. 

E. Recall of Accounts. Client may recall, by written or verbal notice, any Account previously referred to Agency
at Client’s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason (a “Withdrawn Account”). When an account is recalled, Agency shall promptly, and
within no more than three (3) business days of issuance of the recall notice, deliver all Account Information and media pertaining to the Withdrawn Account that Client may have provided to Agency. If litigation has been initiated on a
Withdrawn Account but not brought to judgment, Agency will cooperate in obtaining documentation needed to substitute legal counsel. If recall occurs after a judgment has been obtained on a Withdrawn Account, Agency will provide Client with all
relevant information pertaining to the judgment and will require its attorney on the Referred Account to execute a substitution of attorney if requested by Client. Client agrees to pay any reasonable outstanding legal fees and costs related to a
Withdrawn Account at the time a Withdrawn Account is recalled. Notwithstanding Client’s recall of any Referred Account, Agency shall retain the right to receive a Contingent Fee on any payment, settlement, insurance account or judgment earned
on a Withdrawn Account, in accordance with the terms in Section 4.D, below, unless other arrangements are made with Client. This section is not a provision for cancelling this Agreement. Client agrees to pay any out of pocket costs, which are
commercially reasonable and incurred by the Agency for legal or ancillary services performed on the account. 
 In addition, if Agency
cancels a Referred Account and returns it to Client, Client shall not resubmit such account to Agency without prior written notice. 
 3. RIGHTS AND
DUTIES OF AGENCY. 
 A. Legal Compliance. Agency shall comply with and abide by all federal, state and local laws
and regulations regarding collection agencies and/or governing the collection of debt and consumer credit reporting in the performance of the Services, 

  
 - 2 - 

 
including, but not limited, to (i) the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) (16 USC 1601 et seq.); (ii) the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) (15
USC 1681 et seq.); (iii) the FACT Act; (iv) the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (16 USC 1691 et seq.); (v) the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq. administered by the Federal
Communication Commission; (vi) the Telephone Sales Rule, 16 C.F.R. § 310.1 et seq.; (vii) the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, as amended; (viii) Electronic Funds Transfer Act, 12 USC § 226 et. seq.; (ix) any rules
promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) or any other federal entity and required by Client; and (x) any comparable state or local versions of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collection
Laws”). 
 B. Performance Standards. Services shall be performed by Agency in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including the minimum requirements of Client for Services, as set forth in Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated by reference (“Service Level Agreement and Performance Standards”). 

C. Agency’s Policies and Procedures. Upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter, upon request of Client,
Agency shall provide to Client, complete and current copies of Agency’s training materials, internal controls, and all policies and procedures governing or applicable to the Services to be performed hereunder (collectively,
“Agency’s Policies and Procedures”), specifically, but not limited to, those listed on Exhibit 1 attached hereto, as well as any internal reports or reports or findings or results of any examinations or audits received
by any third party concerning Agency’s compliance with such Agency’s Policies and Procedures; subject to any limitations on disclosure imposed by law. Agency also agrees to adopt and implement such other and further policies, procedures,
and training as reasonably requested by Client from time-to-time in order to comply with Client’s third party vendor management oversight responsibilities. 

D. Agency Personnel. Services shall be performed only by Agency personnel who have been adequately trained and certified
by Agency to provide Services in conformance with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to training on all Collection Laws, Client’s Performance Standards, and the Agency’s Policies and Procedures for the Services (each,
an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”). The Agents shall perform the Services under the direction, supervision and control of Agency management subject to Client’s oversight consistent with its third party
vendor management responsibilities. Additionally, Agency shall provide from time to time, upon reasonable request of Client, certification records of Agency personnel in accordance with this Section 3D. 

E. Monitoring and Self Correction. Because Collection Laws contain subjective legal standards that prohibit conduct that
rises to the level of deceit or harassment, Agency agrees to monitor its Agents, employees and vendors to ensure that their conduct is at all times lawful, honest, courteous and business-like. Whenever Agency self-identifies any issues relating to
or determines that it is not in compliance with Collection Laws, Client’s Service Level Agreement and Performance Standards, or the Agency’s Policies and Procedures, it will advise Client and shall immediately correct the conduct or
condition that is causing the Agency not to be in compliance with 

  
 - 3 - 

 
Collection Laws, Client’s Performance Standards, or Agency’s Policies and Procedures, whether such noncompliance is attributable to a process, procedure or the conduct of an individual
Agent or employee of the Agency. 
 F. Safeguards. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Agency shall implement and
maintain appropriate safeguards, as that term is used in § 314.4(d) of the FTC Safeguard Rule, 16 C.F.R. § 314 (the “FTC Rule”), for all “customer information,” as that term is defined in §314.2(b) of the
FTC Rule, owned by Client and delivered to Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, Agency shall implement and enforce appropriate policies to comply with the FTC Red Flags rule.

obligors. 
 H. No Delegation. Agency shall not assign or delegate any portion of the performance of the Services
under this Agreement to any third party over which Agency does not have direct control and supervision without the express written consent of Client. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agency may use its own employees or contractors retained by Agency
to perform the collection services on Referred Accounts. 
 I. Trust Account. Agency shall maintain a trust account at
an FDIC-insured financial institution in trust for Client into which it shall deposit within two (2) business days of receipt, all payments it receives on Referred Accounts (the “Trust Account”), subject to later remittance to
Client in accordance with Section 5, below. Agency shall provide Client with the bank location of the Trust Account, and upon demand, provide Client with account records, statements and deposit receipts. However, for security reasons Agency
shall not be required to disclose the Trust Account number to Client. Agency shall immediately notify Client of any changes in the location of the Trust Account. Agency shall not co-mingle funds of its other
customers in the Trust Account. Client hereby authorizes Agency to act as Client’s attorney-in-fact for the sole purpose of accepting funds in payment of debts due Client which have been referred to
Agency for collection, including endorsements of checks, money orders, and drafts payable to Client, or jointly to Client and Agency, for deposit into Agency’s Trust Account. 

J. Settlements. Client authorizes Agency to settle any Referred Accounts, within its reasonable discretion and in good
faith to maximize recovery of the balance owing on the Referred Account, without written authorization by Client. Agency agrees to accept payments from obligors via check, debit, credit, recurring ACH, money order, or cash. Agency further agrees to
permit obligors to make payment directly to Client on Referred Accounts at any time, provided such any such Referred Account is not in litigation, and subject to the reporting requirements as set forth in numbered paragraphs 2C, 4B herein, and
Exhibit 1 contained herein.

 K. Legal Action. Agency will not initiate any form of legal action on a
Referred Account unless Client has approved in writing the third party engaged, and its respective process to be used, in each market. Client reserves the right to interview any third party before a Referred Account is placed with such third party
for legal action, and to approve reasonable criteria for bringing such action. All Referred Accounts upon which Agency initiates permitted legal action will be subject to the Contingent Fee gross proceeds, as set forth in Section 4.A, below.
Client will be responsible for all legal fees and court costs in connection with Referred Accounts upon which legal action has been authorized by Client. Client shall be reimbursed first for all court costs from any recovered proceeds from the
Referred Account prior to calculation of the Contingent Fee. This provision shall not require Client to pay legal fees Agency may incur in connection with the defense of any claims asserted against Agency by an obligor or an alleged obligor. 

L. Third Parties. Client has the right to review copies of any agreements, contracts, third party due diligence or any
other work Agency has on third party retained by Agency and which Agency shall provide to Client upon Client’s reasonable request. Client reserves the right to reject the use of any third party at any time in its sole discretion. Agency shall
always inform Client of the retention of any third party before work is performed on behalf of the Client. 
 M. Quarterly
status meetings. Agency agrees that it shall meet quarterly with Client to formulate a strategy on accounts, staffing and adequacy of resources to ensure proper servicing of the Client’s business. This shall include completing a quarterly
plan as mutually agreed upon by the parties. 
 N. Bankrupt Referred Account. Upon receipt of information that the
obligor on a Referred Account has filed for bankruptcy or receivership, Agency shall immediately cease all efforts to collect on the Referred Account. Agency shall promptly transmit to Client all relevant information regarding the obligor’s
bankruptcy. If Agency receives written notice of the obligor’s bankruptcy, Agency shall promptly transmit such notice to Client. If notice of a bankruptcy filing is provided verbally by the obligor or a third party, Agency shall attempt to
obtain information regarding the jurisdiction in which the case has been filed and the case number assigned to the obligor. If bankruptcy information cannot be provided, Agency shall request the name and telephone number of the obligor’s
attorney and shall request from the attorney a copy of the filed Voluntary Petition or the §341 Notice. 
 O. Credit
Bureau Reporting. Agency agrees that any credit bureau reporting will be done in full compliance with the FCRA and all applicable statutes and regulations and Agency’s policies and procedures related to same. All credit reporting shall be
in compliance with the Furnisher Rule 12 CFR § 1022.40 et seq.

records for all Referred Accounts, which shall contain at least the following information: date of referral, balance owing, records of all collection activity, all payments made on the Referred Account and Contingent Fee deducted. The foregoing
information shall be provided upon reasonable request to Client

at any time during normal business hours. The information set out in this section must be retained by Agency in a form that will accommodate an audit pursuant to Section 14. In addition, the

required by law. 
 Q. Customer Disputes. Agency agrees to maintain records of any disputes, threats of lawsuits or
actual lawsuits involving any Referred Accounts. Agency agrees to provide access to Client to copies of any written complaint received from the obligor concerning the Agency’s handling of a Referred Account as well as the response made or
action taken by Agency. Client reserves the right to recall any Referred Account as a result of a customer complaint. 
 R.
Cooperation. Notwithstanding and in addition to the rights and duties set forth in this Agreement, Agency agrees to provide any documentation, records, or evidence in its possession reasonably requested in writing by Client regarding all
Referred Accounts, including affidavits, whether or not the Account is still placed with the Agency. This duty shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

S. Status Reports. In addition to the monthly Reconciliation Statements, Agency shall provide Client with status reports
in a mutually agreed upon format and on time frame agreed to by the Parties. Such status reports shall contain sufficient information for Client to determine the number of Referred Accounts being worked by Agency, when the file was placed with
Agency, and the dollar amounts collected in the current reporting period. 
 4. COMPENSATION. As its sole compensation for performing the
Services under this Agreement Agency shall earn and be paid a Contingent Fee (as defined and calculated herein) for any money collected on a Referred Account of Client. 

A. Contingent Fee. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Contingent Fee” shall be thirty percent
(30%) of the gross amount of money collected by Agency on a Referred Account of Client, which Agency is authorized to calculate on the recovered proceeds, and withhold from the money collected on any Referred Account as payment for its services
under this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 3.H, above, any collection costs recovered, whether obtained in or out of court judgment shall not be included in the calculation of gross proceeds and Client shall be reimbursed first for all court
costs from any recovered proceeds from the Referred Account prior to calculation of the Contingent Fee. Any interest awarded by a court or collected by Agency shall be included in the gross amount of money collected for purposes of calculating the
Contingent Fee. The right of Agency to receive the Contingent Fee will apply, regardless of the collection activity conducted as of the date of payment, including whether the Referred Account has been placed with and reviewed by Agency’s
attorney(s), a demand letter from the attorney has been sent or a statement of claim has been filed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of the Contingent Fee is subject to renegotiation throughout the term of the Agreement. Any changes to the
amount of Contingent Fee agreed upon in this Agreement may only be modified by a written agreement signed by both Parties.

 B. Direct Payments Made to Client. Agency shall be entitled to receive the
Contingent Fee provided for in Section 4.A on all money received on a Referred Account, whether paid to the Agency or to the Client. Client will use reasonable efforts to monitor any payments and/or settlements actually received directly from
the obligor in connection with a Referred Account (a “Direct Payment”). Client shall notify the Agency on a regular basis of all Direct Payments, or if the Agency becomes aware of such payment, the Agency will notify Client. Client
shall promptly pay to Agency via ACH or wire transfer to the Agency account listed in Schedule A attached hereto (“Agency Account”), the Contingent Fee due and payable on any Direct Payment. In the event Client fails to pay
to Agency the Contingent Fee due and payable on any payments made directly to Client within seven (7) days of collection, Agency shall be entitled to calculate and invoice Client for said Contingent Fee. Client will provide Agency with a report
of all Direct Payments on a monthly basis (a “Direct Payment Statement”), which shall indicate (i) the Referred Account numbers for which Client received a Direct Payment of money, (ii) the amounts received, (iii) the
Contingent Fee due and payable, and (iv) the confirmation of payment of the Contingent fee to Agency. The Direct Payment Statement will be submitted to Agency pursuant to the provisions for notice in this Agreement.

due to insufficient funds. In the event that Agency has tendered to Client an Invoice (as defined herein) for any portion of the Contingent Fee due to Agency in connection with any dishonored check, Agency’ next monthly Invoice shall designate
a corresponding reduction to reflect the obligor’s failure to pay on the Referred Account. 
 D. Payments on
Withdrawn Accounts. If a Referred Account is recalled and withdrawn by Client prior to completion of collection by Agency (pursuant to the terms herein), Agency shall be entitled to and shall be paid a Contingent Fee on any payments received by
Agency or by Client within thirty (30) days following the date of the recall of the Referred Account. 
 5. REMITTANCE OF
COLLECTED FUNDS; INVOICE AND PAYMENT OF CONTINGENT FEE. Agency shall be responsible for collection of all payments made on a Referred Account and for remitting the gross proceeds and reporting
to Client on all Referred Accounts as follows: Collections made by Agency on Delinquent Accounts will be deposited promptly into a trust account maintained in a reputable bank. Such collections held in trust by Agency, shall be the property of

performance and professionalism (an “Audit”). Such examinations shall be conducted during normal working hours, with commercially reasonable notice, at the main office or any branch office of Agency. Agency shall provide access to
all collection records on the Referred Accounts, reasonable workspace, heat or air conditioning, adequate lighting and use of on-site photocopying equipment and telephones. Agency shall photocopy, or allow
Client to photocopy, any documents selected by Client, which relate to Agency’s performance under this Agreement. Client shall reimburse Agency for all expenses reasonably incurred by Agency in connection with such Audits. In addition, subject
to password protocols and other reasonable security measures of Agency, Agency shall also provide Client with remote, electronic access to Agency’s collection system used to perform Services on all Referred Accounts, which Client shall be
permitted to access at any time, in its discretion, for purposes of remote auditing. In addition to the rights to audit Agency, Client shall also have the right to verify the balances on Referred Accounts by sending letters to the obligors on
Referred Accounts. 
 In addition, Agency agrees to an independent audit of its performance on an annual basis by a third-party auditor mutually agreed upon
between the Parties (the “Independent Audit”). All costs and fees associated with the Independent Audit shall be the sole responsibility of Client. 

15. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Parties agree that any and all Confidential Information (as defined herein) shall be used solely for the purposes of
the lawful performance of this Agreement and shall not be used or disclosed to any third party except as authorized herein or by the Parties in writing.

 A. Definition. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential
Information” shall include (i) all information regarding a Referred Account or the obligor, (ii) each Party’s proprietary information, trade secrets or other business information that is either identified as or should
otherwise be reasonably understood to be of a confidential nature, as may be disclosed to the other Party in connection with the performance of this Agreement, and (iii) this Agreement and the nature, terms and conditions of this Agreement. In
addition, Agency understands that it will be exposed to certain valuable and confidential information that is the exclusive property of Client or its affiliated Clients, including Consumer Financial Information (as defined in Section 15, below)
of obligors and related parties. Agency will be given access to this information solely for the purposes of effectively collecting the Referred Accounts. Agency shall not disclose to any third party any information disclosed by Client or acquired by
Agency in the performance of services nor shall it permit any third party access to such information. Agency agrees to keep confidential all information herein and/or related to Client, its investors/clients, a debt owner and the Referred Account
obligors, including but not limited to the Privacy Provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 for which Client or the Agency obtain or develop as a result of collecting Accounts. All such additional information is deemed Confidential
Information under this Agreement and shall be used solely by Agency as necessary for the performance of Services under this Agreement.

the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do any of the following: (i) disclose any Confidential Information to any third party; (ii) permit any third party access to such Confidential Information; or (iii) use Confidential

belongs. 

  
 - 14 - 

 E. Enforcement. In the event of any breach of the obligations under this
Section, the Parties acknowledge that the Party adversely affected by the breach would have no adequate remedy at law to protect its Confidential Information, since the harm caused by such a breach could not be easily measured and compensated for in
damages, and that in addition to such remedies as may be available, a Party may obtain injunctive relief including, but not limited to, specific performance. 

F. Confidentiality of Agreement. Client and Agency agree that this Agreement and its terms are strictly confidential and

“Parties,” and individually as a “Party,” as required by context. 
 WHEREAS, Client requires, from time to
time, collection services on certain delinquent accounts, and 
 WHEREAS, Agency is engaged in the business of performing collection services
for third parties, and 
 WHEREAS, Client wishes to retain Agency for the purpose of collecting debts owed to Client by an obligor, i.e. the
individual or entity legally liable to Client for payment of the balance on an account, and Agency agrees to be so engaged in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, terms and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 
 1. REFERRAL OF ACCOUNTS
FOR COLLECTION. From time to time and in its sole discretion, Client shall refer legally due and owing unpaid credit accounts (“Referred Accounts”) to Agency for collection of the outstanding balance due and Agency
agrees to provide the collection services described in this Agreement on such Referred Accounts (the “Services”). Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, those Referred Accounts placed by Client with Agency and the
Services performed by Agency shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 2. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF CLIENT. 

A. Accounts Referred. Client has the discretion to determine the number and types of accounts referred to Agency
pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to mean that Agency has a right to receive a given volume level of accounts referred to Agency over any period of time. 

B. Non-Exclusive Nature of Agreement. Agency understands and agrees that the
relationship between Client and Agency is not an exclusive relationship and that Client shall have the right to retain other collection agencies to provide the same services for Client as are described herein. Client is not obligated to and makes no
commitment of any kind to Agency as to any minimum number or dollar amount of accounts to be referred to Agency under this Agreement. However, once an account is referred to Agency, Client will cease all further attempts on such Referred Account and
Client warrants that it shall not refer and no other collection agencies shall attempt to collect any Referred Account while the Referred Account has been placed with Agency.

 C. Account Information. Upon referral of an account to Agency for
collection, Client will provide Agency with the following information relative to each Referred Account: the applicable creditor name and the required obligor information, including the obligor’s name, address, phone number(s) and place of
employment; the Referred Account number and balance owing; pertinent account history, account memos and documentation (“Account Information”). Thereafter, Client shall provide, in a timely manner, all reasonably necessary
assistance, information, and documents that Agency may need to respond to obligor validation requests or discovery inquiries relating to a Referred Account. Client further agrees to provide Agency with information concerning all direct payments,
adjustments, and disputes on a Referred Account within a timely manner, not to exceed thirty (30) days. 
 D.
Bankrupt Referred Account. Client shall promptly notify Agency if it receives notification, whether oral or written, of a bankruptcy of an obligor on a Referred Account. 

E. Recall of Accounts. Client may recall, by written or verbal notice, any Account previously referred to Agency
at Client’s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason (a “Withdrawn Account”). When an account is recalled, Agency shall promptly, and
within no more than three (3) business days of issuance of the recall notice, deliver all Account Information and media pertaining to the Withdrawn Account that Client may have provided to Agency. If litigation has been initiated on a
Withdrawn Account but not brought to judgment, Agency will cooperate in obtaining documentation needed to substitute legal counsel. If recall occurs after a judgment has been obtained on a Withdrawn Account, Agency will provide Client with all
relevant information pertaining to the judgment and will require its attorney on the Referred Account to execute a substitution of attorney if requested by Client. Client agrees to pay any reasonable outstanding legal fees and costs related to a

on a Withdrawn Account, in accordance with the terms in Section 4.D, below, unless other arrangements are made with Client. This section is not a provision for cancelling this Agreement. Client agrees to pay any out of pocket costs, which are
commercially reasonable and incurred by the Agency for legal or ancillary services performed on the account.

including, but not limited, to (i) the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) (16 USC 1601 et seq.); (ii) the Fair Credit Reporting Act
(“FCRA”) (15 USC 1681 et seq.); (iii) the FACT Act; (iv) the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (16 USC 1691 et seq.); (v) the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq.

with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the minimum requirements of Client for Services, as set forth in Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated by reference (“Service Level Agreement and Performance
Standards”). 
 C. Agency’s Policies and Procedures. Upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter,
upon request of Client, Agency shall provide to Client, complete and current copies of Agency’s training materials, internal controls, and all policies and procedures governing or applicable to the Services to be performed hereunder
(collectively, “Agency’s Policies and Procedures”), specifically, but not limited to, those listed on Exhibit 1 attached hereto, as well as any internal reports or reports or findings or results of any examinations or
audits received by any third party concerning Agency’s compliance with such Agency’s Policies and Procedures; subject to any limitations on disclosure imposed by law. Agency also agrees to adopt and implement such other and further
policies, procedures, and training as reasonably requested by Client from time-to-time in order to comply with Client’s third party vendor management oversight
responsibilities. 
 D. Agency Personnel. Services shall be performed only by Agency personnel who have been
adequately trained and certified by Agency to provide Services in conformance with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to training on all Collection Laws, Client’s Performance Standards, and the Agency’s Policies and
Procedures for the Services (each, an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”). The Agents shall perform the Services under the direction, supervision and control of Agency management subject to Client’s
oversight consistent with its third party vendor management responsibilities. Additionally, Agency shall provide from time to time, upon reasonable request of Client, certification records of Agency personnel in accordance with this Section 3D.

 E. Monitoring and Self Correction. Because Collection Laws contain subjective legal standards that prohibit conduct
that rises to the level of deceit or harassment, Agency agrees to monitor its Agents, employees and vendors to ensure that their conduct is at all times lawful, honest, courteous and business-like. Whenever Agency self-identifies any issues relating
to or determines that it is not in compliance with Collection Laws, Client’s Service Level Agreement and Performance Standards, or the Agency’s Policies and Procedures, it will advise Client and shall immediately correct the conduct or
condition that is causing the Agency not to be in compliance with 

  
 - 3 - 

 
Collection Laws, Client’s Performance Standards, or Agency’s Policies and Procedures, whether such noncompliance is attributable to a process, procedure or the conduct of an individual
Agent or employee of the Agency. 
 F. Safeguards. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Agency shall implement and
maintain appropriate safeguards, as that term is used in § 314.4(d) of the FTC Safeguard Rule, 16 C.F.R. § 314 (the “FTC Rule”), for all “customer information,” as that term is defined in §314.2(b) of the

Client in accordance with Section 5, below. Agency shall provide Client with the bank location of the Trust Account, and upon demand, provide Client with account records, statements and deposit receipts. However, for security reasons Agency
shall not be required to disclose the Trust Account number to Client. Agency shall immediately notify Client of any changes in the location of the Trust Account. Agency shall not co-mingle funds of its other
customers in the Trust Account. Client hereby authorizes Agency to act as Client’s attorney-in-fact for the sole purpose of accepting funds in payment of debts due Client which have been referred to
Agency for collection, including endorsements of checks, money orders, and drafts payable to Client, or jointly to Client and Agency, for deposit into Agency’s Trust Account. 

J. Settlements. Client authorizes Agency to settle any Referred Accounts, within its reasonable discretion and in good
faith to maximize recovery of the balance owing on the Referred Account, without written authorization by Client. Agency agrees to accept payments from obligors via check, debit, credit, recurring ACH, money order, or cash. Agency further agrees to

Referred Account unless Client has approved in writing the third party engaged, and its respective process to be used, in each market. Client reserves the right to interview any third party before a Referred Account is placed with such third party
for legal action, and to approve reasonable criteria for bringing such action. All Referred Accounts upon which Agency initiates permitted legal action will be subject to the Contingent Fee gross proceeds, as set forth in Section 4.A, below.
Client will be responsible for all legal fees and court costs in connection with Referred Accounts upon which legal action has been authorized by Client. Client shall be reimbursed first for all court costs from any recovered proceeds from the
Referred Account prior to calculation of the Contingent Fee. This provision shall not require Client to pay legal fees Agency may incur in connection with the defense of any claims asserted against Agency by an obligor or an alleged obligor. 

L. Third Parties. Client has the right to review copies of any agreements, contracts, third party due diligence or any
other work Agency has on third party retained by Agency and which Agency shall provide to Client upon Client’s reasonable request. Client reserves the right to reject the use of any third party at any time in its sole discretion. Agency shall
always inform Client of the retention of any third party before work is performed on behalf of the Client.

obligor on a Referred Account has filed for bankruptcy or receivership, Agency shall immediately cease all efforts to collect on the Referred Account. Agency shall promptly transmit to Client all relevant information regarding the obligor’s
bankruptcy. If Agency receives written notice of the obligor’s bankruptcy, Agency shall promptly transmit such notice to Client. If notice of a bankruptcy filing is provided verbally by the obligor or a third party, Agency shall attempt to
obtain information regarding the jurisdiction in which the case has been filed and the case number assigned to the obligor. If bankruptcy information cannot be provided, Agency shall request the name and telephone number of the obligor’s
attorney and shall request from the attorney a copy of the filed Voluntary Petition or the §341 Notice. 
 O. Credit
Bureau Reporting. Agency agrees that any credit bureau reporting will be done in full compliance with the FCRA and all applicable statutes and regulations and Agency’s policies and procedures related to same. All credit reporting shall be

 R.
Cooperation. Notwithstanding and in addition to the rights and duties set forth in this Agreement, Agency agrees to provide any documentation, records, or evidence in its possession reasonably requested in writing by Client regarding all
Referred Accounts, including affidavits, whether or not the Account is still placed with the Agency. This duty shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

S. Status Reports. In addition to the monthly Reconciliation Statements, Agency shall provide Client with status reports
in a mutually agreed upon format and on time frame agreed to by the Parties. Such status reports shall contain sufficient information for Client to determine the number of Referred Accounts being worked by Agency, when the file was placed with
Agency, and the dollar amounts collected in the current reporting period. 
 4. COMPENSATION. As its sole compensation for performing the
Services under this Agreement Agency shall earn and be paid a Contingent Fee (as defined and calculated herein) for any money collected on a Referred Account of Client. 

A. Contingent Fee. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Contingent Fee” shall be thirty percent
(30%) of the gross amount of money collected by Agency on a Referred Account of Client, which Agency is authorized to calculate on the recovered proceeds, and withhold from the money collected on any Referred Account as payment for its services
under this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 3.H, above, any collection costs recovered, whether obtained in or out of court judgment shall not be included in the calculation of gross proceeds and Client shall be reimbursed first for all court
costs from any recovered proceeds from the Referred Account prior to calculation of the Contingent Fee. Any interest awarded by a court or collected by Agency shall be included in the gross amount of money collected for purposes of calculating the
Contingent Fee. The right of Agency to receive the Contingent Fee will apply, regardless of the collection activity conducted as of the date of payment, including whether the Referred Account has been placed with and reviewed by Agency’s
attorney(s), a demand letter from the attorney has been sent or a statement of claim has been filed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of the Contingent Fee is subject to renegotiation throughout the term of the Agreement. Any changes to the
amount of Contingent Fee agreed upon in this Agreement may only be modified by a written agreement signed by both Parties.

 B. Direct Payments Made to Client. Agency shall be entitled to receive the
Contingent Fee provided for in Section 4.A on all money received on a Referred Account, whether paid to the Agency or to the Client. Client will use reasonable efforts to monitor any payments and/or settlements actually received directly from
the obligor in connection with a Referred Account (a “Direct Payment”). Client shall notify the Agency on a regular basis of all Direct Payments, or if the Agency becomes aware of such payment, the Agency will notify Client. Client
shall promptly pay to Agency via ACH or wire transfer to the Agency account listed in Schedule A attached hereto (“Agency Account”), the Contingent Fee due and payable on any Direct Payment. In the event Client fails to pay

of all Direct Payments on a monthly basis (a “Direct Payment Statement”), which shall indicate (i) the Referred Account numbers for which Client received a Direct Payment of money, (ii) the amounts received, (iii) the
Contingent Fee due and payable, and (iv) the confirmation of payment of the Contingent fee to Agency. The Direct Payment Statement will be submitted to Agency pursuant to the provisions for notice in this Agreement.

due to insufficient funds. In the event that Agency has tendered to Client an Invoice (as defined herein) for any portion of the Contingent Fee due to Agency in connection with any dishonored check, Agency’ next monthly Invoice shall designate
a corresponding reduction to reflect the obligor’s failure to pay on the Referred Account. 
 D. Payments on
Withdrawn Accounts. If a Referred Account is recalled and withdrawn by Client prior to completion of collection by Agency (pursuant to the terms herein), Agency shall be entitled to and shall be paid a Contingent Fee on any payments received by
Agency or by Client within thirty (30) days following the date of the recall of the Referred Account.
