as defined in this Agreement if any (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) shall be provided to Consumers through CSO’s website. The Loan Documents shall be completed in accordance with the Lender’s Policies, a copy
of which shall be provided to CSO. Lender will inform CSO in writing of any changes to the Loan Documents or Lender’s Policies at least thirty (30) days before they are adopted and/or implemented by Lender, unless such changes are mandated
to be adopted and/or implemented earlier by Applicable Law. In connection with the Loans made by Lender, CSO shall only use the Loan Documents approved in writing by Lender.

by Lender pursuant to the Lender’s Policies; and (B) deliver to the Consumer a copy of the Loan Agreement, and any required disclosures, in accordance with Applicable Law.

 (d) Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately if either Party is advised by any
federal or state regulatory agency which has or asserts jurisdiction over either Party or the Loans that the performance of a Party’s obligations under this Agreement is or may violate any Applicable Law, constitute an unsafe or unsound
practice, or jeopardize the Party’s standing with or any rating from any regulatory agency. 
 (e) Either Party may terminate this
Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other Party if such Party determines in its reasonable discretion that the performance of a Party’s obligations under this Agreement is or may be illegal under or prohibited by any Applicable Law
and may not be reasonably remedied or modified as set forth in Section K(1). 
 (f) Either Party may terminate this Agreement in the
event of an act of God or other natural disaster makes the carrying out of this Agreement impossible. 
 (g) CSO may terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice at least ten (10) days in advance of termination if Lender amends Lender’s Policies or the Loan credit underwriting criteria in a way that causes a material adverse effect on CSO’s or its

the Party’s litigation or risk exposure. 
 (j) Either Party may terminate this Agreement without cause on one hundred twenty
(120) days advance written notice to the other Party.

	I.	CONFIDENTIALITY AND USE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION; USE OF CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION; NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. 

1. Solicitation of Consumers. 

The Parties agree and acknowledge that the Consumers referred by CSO to Lender for Loans pursuant to this Agreement are customers of both
Parties to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, and, except as provided in this Agreement or Applicable Law, the Parties may use information regarding Consumers jointly and severally. 

2. Security Program. 

The Parties agree and acknowledge that certain information regarding the Consumers is nonpublic personal information and will not be provided
to third parties except as necessary to service, administer, process and enforce a transaction a Consumer requests or authorizes, marketing of other products and services by CSO and Lender, marketing or offering other products and services by CSO
and any other third party, or as otherwise authorized by this Agreement and the respective Privacy Policy of each Party. The Parties shall each implement an effective security program designed to protect Consumer’s nonpublic personal
information and which is also designed to ensure that the Parties do not violate the respective Privacy Policy of either Party or Applicable Law. Such security program shall incorporate methods for the secure destruction of confidential information,
such as Loan Documents and other records and documents no longer required to be maintained by either Party. 
 3. Ownership. 

The Parties shall jointly and severally own all information relating to Consumers (collectively, “Consumer
Information”), including: (i) names, addresses, and telephone numbers; (ii) all account, payment and other information regarding Consumers who have been approved or denied; and (iii) all records, data, and information

 4. Confidential Business Information. 

The Parties agree that all information received by one Party from the other Party or from any other source on that Party’s behalf
pursuant to this Agreement is “Confidential Business Information” and shall be maintained in confidence and not disclosed, used or duplicated except as described in this Section I. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
term “Confidential Business Information” shall not include any information which (i) is or becomes available to a Party (the “Restricted Party”) from a source other than the other Party, (ii) is or
becomes available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Restricted Party or its agents in violation of its intended obligations or Applicable Law, (iii) is Consumer Information, or (iv) is required to be disclosed under
Applicable Law (but only to the extent it must be disclosed). 
 5. Use of Confidential Business Information. 

A Restricted Party may only use the other Party’s Confidential Business Information in connection with its performance under this
Agreement, and may disclose such other Party’s Confidential Business Information to its affiliates who may only use the Confidential Business Information to the same extent which the Restricted Party may use and disclose Confidential Business
Information. Further, a Restricted Party may only disclose and use the other Party’s Confidential Business Information in its ordinary course of business in order to service and carry out its duties under or in connection with this Agreement.
Except as provided in this Agreement, any Confidential Business Information of a Party shall be returned to such Party as requested once the services contemplated by this Agreement have been completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the forms of
Loan Documents may be retained by CSO and Lender or their affiliates as business forms and utilized in their respective businesses; provided that neither CSO nor Lender make any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to such
forms, and Lender and CSO and their affiliates use said forms at their own risk. 
 6. Non-disclosure. 

Except as set forth and authorized under this Agreement or to the extent required by any Applicable Law (including federal securities law),
the Parties shall not advertise, market or otherwise make known to others any information relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. If one of the Parties proposes to disclose the other’s Confidential Business Information to a
non-affiliated third party in order to perform under this Agreement, the disclosing Party must first obtain the written consent of the other Party to make such disclosure and the disclosing Party must enter into a confidentiality agreement with such
third party under which the third party would be restricted from disclosing, using or duplicating the other Party’s Confidential Business Information, except as consistent with this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Agreement, if requested
by either Party, any employee, representative, agent or subcontractor of the other Party shall enter into a non-disclosure agreement with the requesting Party to protect the requesting Party’s Confidential Business Information satisfactory to
the requesting Party. The Parties agree that in the event the security of any of the Parties’ Confidential Business Information is breached or a Party learns of any unauthorized use of the other Party’s Confidential Business Information,
then it will promptly notify the other Party of such breach or unauthorized use so that it may respond accordingly. 
 7.
Non-communication. 
 The provisions of this Agreement and all documents executed in connection herewith, and results of any business
conducted between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall also be considered Confidential Business Information of both Parties, and each Party agrees, subject to the requirements of any Applicable Law (including federal securities law), not to
communicate such Confidential Business Information to any third party without the prior written

consent of the other Party. Confidential Business Information may be provided to a Party’s affiliates (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) counsel, accountants,
and financial or tax advisors (“Related Parties”), provided that the Party shall ensure that such Related Parties hold such Confidential Business Information in confidence. 

8. Damages. 
 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 this Section I and, therefore, the Parties agree that in the event of any such breach by the Restricted
Party, the other Party, in addition to its others remedies at law or in equity, shall be entitled to an order requiring the Restricted Party to specifically perform its obligations under Section I or enjoining the Restricted Party from
breaching Section I, and the Restricted Party shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law. 
 9.
Non-solicitation of employees. 
 Each Party agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly solicit, hire or otherwise retain or
engage, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any employee or other personnel of the other Party for the sooner of six months after the termination of this Agreement or a person’s termination from the respective Party.

 10. Non-publication. 

Except as provided for herein, a Party shall not issue any press release that indicates Lender is making Loans to Consumers. If a Party is
required under Applicable Law (including federal securities law) to file a copy of this Agreement with, or disclose that Lender is making Loans to Consumers to, a governmental agency, such Party shall have the right to file a copy of this Agreement
with, and/or disclose to, the governmental agency after (i) notifying the other Party in writing not less than (10) days prior to any such filing of this Agreement (or such shorter time as may be required by Applicable Law),
(ii) redacting such terms of this Agreement as the other Party may reasonably request and may be excluded under Applicable Law (including the other Party’s name), and (iii) filing a confidential treatment request as part of any such
filing. 
 11. Survival. 

This Section I shall continue to be binding on all Parties notwithstanding any termination, cancellation or expiration of this
Agreement. 
  

	J.	ARBITRATION. 

 1. WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY; ARBITRATION; VENUE.

AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT OR THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE AGREEMENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES
AND TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH REGARD TO ALL DISPUTES. WITHOUT INVALIDATING OR LIMITING THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, VENUE FOR ANY LITIGATION FILED BETWEEN THE PARTIES SHALL BE IN TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES
CONSENTS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE LAID THEREIN. 
 2.
PROCEDURE FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. 
 IN THE EVENT A PARTY SEEKS INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, THE CLAIM SHALL BE ADMINISTRATIVELY EXPEDITED BY
THE AAA, WHICH SHALL APPOINT A SINGLE, NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSE OF DECIDING SUCH CLAIM FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. SUCH ARBITRATOR SHALL BE A QUALIFIED MEMBER OF THE STATE BAR OF TEXAS IN GOOD STANDING, AND PREFERABLY SHALL BE A RETIRED
STATE OR FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE. THE SINGLE ARBITRATOR SHALL DECIDE THE CLAIM FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IMMEDIATELY ON HEARING OR RECEIVING THE PARTIES’ SUBMISSIONS (UNLESS, IN THE INTERESTS OF JUSTICE, HE MUST RULE EX PARTE); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THAT THE SINGLE ARBITRATOR SHALL RULE ON SUCH CLAIMS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF SUBMISSION OF THE CLAIM TO THE AAA. THE SINGLE ARBITRATOR’S RULING SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND 14 CALENDAR DAYS AND ON APPLICATION BY THE CLAIMANT, UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 14 DAYS
FOLLOWING WHICH, AFTER A HEARING ON THE CLAIM FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, A TEMPORARY INJUNCTION MAY ISSUE PENDING THE AWARD. ANY RELIEF GRANTED UNDER THIS PROCEDURE FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF SHALL BE SPECIFICALLY ENFORCEABLE IN TARRANT COUNTY DISTRICT COURT
ON AN EXPEDITED, EX PARTE BASIS AND SHALL NOT BE THE SUBJECT OF ANY EVIDENTIARY HEARING OR FURTHER SUBMISSION BY EITHER PARTY, BUT THE COURT, ON APPLICATION TO ENFORCE A TEMPORARY ORDER, SHALL ISSUE SUCH ORDERS AS NECESSARY TO ITS ENFORCEMENT. 

3. Survival. 
 This
Section J shall continue to be binding on all Parties notwithstanding any termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement. The Parties agree that this Agreement is entered into in the course of interstate commerce and that
Section J is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. 
  

	K.	OTHER PROVISIONS. 

 1. Independence. 

This agreement contemplates the Parties acting independently of each other with respect to a decision by either to provide credit services or
extend credit. Neither the existence of this Agreement, nor its execution, is intended to be, nor shall it be construed to be, the formation of a partnership, association, or joint venture between Lender and CSO. No agency is created by this
Agreement, and in no event may either Party represent to others that it may act as the other Party’s agent. Neither Party is granted any right nor authority to assume or to create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf
of or in the name of the other Party. Each Party shall be responsible only for its obligations and liabilities as set forth in this Agreement. In the event that either Party reasonably determines that any provision of this Agreement or any aspect of
the Program requires an act that Applicable Law disallows in order for CSO and Lender to operate lawfully as an independent credit services organization and

lender or otherwise causes a material risk of violating Applicable Law, then the Parties shall promptly and in good faith attempt to agree to a modification of such provision or the Program so as
to reduce or eliminate such risk of not conforming to Applicable Law. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if it is determined in such Party’s reasonable discretion that modification of this Agreement
or the Program to reduce or eliminate the risk of not conforming to Applicable Law makes it economically infeasible to continue under the modified terms of this Agreement or the Program. 

2. Entire Agreement. 

This Agreement supersedes any negotiations, discussions or communications between Lender and CSO and constitutes the entire agreement of
Lender and CSO with respect to the Loans and the Loan Documents. 
 3. Pending Legal Action. 

To the extent permissible by Applicable Law, the Parties agree to promptly notify each other in writing in the event either Party becomes
aware of any threatened or actual investigation, regulatory action, allegation, arbitration or lawsuit pertaining to the Loans or this Agreement or any similar credit services agreement of third parties. 

4. No Waiver. 
 Failure
of any Party to insist, in one or more instances, on performance by any other Party in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any right granted hereunder or of the future
performance of any such term or condition or of any other term or condition of this Agreement unless and to the extent that such waiver is in writing signed by or on behalf of the Party alleged to have granted such waiver. 

5. Governing Law. 
 This
Agreement and the rights and duties described herein shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, except that the Arbitration provisions shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. 

6. Assignment. 
 Unless
otherwise set forth herein, CSO shall not assign or delegate any of its rights and/or obligations hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that Lender acknowledges and agrees
that any affiliate or subsidiary companies of CSO are approved service providers to CSO. 
 7. Headings; Construction. 

The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the
meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. When used in this Agreement, all references to “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

 8. Violation. 

Neither Party shall take or omit to take any action that would cause such Party to violate any of its representations or warranties hereunder.

PARENT GUARANTY AGREEMENT 

THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) effective as of JUNE 26, 2015 (the
“Effective Date”), is executed by ELEVATE CREDIT, INC, a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”) to and for the benefit of SENTRAL FINANCIAL LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Lender”). 
 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, RISE CREDIT SERVICE OF OHIO, LLC which is a subsidiary of Guarantor entered into a PROGRAM AGREEMENT BETWEEN CREDIT
SERVICES ORGANIZATION AND THIRD-PARTY LENDER, dated as of June 26, 2015, (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Agreement”) with Lender. As a condition to entering into the Agreement,
Lender is requiring Guarantor to guaranty the obligations of Borrowers to Lender as further described herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings as in the Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises recited above and such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor; and for the purpose of inducing Lender to enter into the Agreement; and as long as Guarantor continues to be obligated to Lender in any manner whatsoever pursuant to the Agreement,
Guarantor: 
 1. Unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely guarantees (a) the due and punctual payment of amounts due
and payable from CSO to Lender under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, all guaranty obligations, daily settlement payment obligations (as applicable) and indemnification payment obligations of CSO set forth in the Agreement; and
(b) the due and punctual performance and observance by CSO of all other obligations, warranties, covenants and duties of CSO set forth in the Agreement (all of which amounts payable and the terms, warranties, agreements, covenants and
conditions being herein called the Obligations”). 
 2. Agrees that this Guaranty shall be a continuing guaranty,
shall be binding upon Guarantor, and upon its successors and assigns, and shall remain in full force and effect, and shall not be discharged, impaired or affected by (a) the existence or continuance of any of the Obligations (other than the
payment or performance of the Obligations in accordance with their terms); (b) the validity or invalidity of any document or agreement evidencing the Obligations or any of them; (c) the existence or continuance of Guarantor as a legal
entity; (d) any waiver, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, change in, modification or other disposition of any of the Obligations or the Loans, all of which Lender or Guarantor is hereby expressly authorized to make from time to
time in accordance with the Agreement; (e) the acceptance by Lender of any security for, or other guarantors upon, all or any part of the Obligations; or (f) any defense (other than the payment or performance of the Obligations in
accordance with their terms) that Guarantor may or might have to its undertakings, liabilities and obligations hereunder, each and every such defense being hereby waived by Guarantor. 

3. Agrees that with respect to each Loan, Guarantor shall be held liable hereunder and Lender shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty
against Guarantor for and to the full 

  
 Parent Guaranty Agreement – Page 1

 
amount of the Obligations for such Loan, with or without enforcing or attempting to enforce this Guaranty against any other guarantor, without any obligation on the part of Lender, or anyone, at
any time, to resort to any collateral, security, property, liens or other rights or remedies whatsoever, and whether or not other proceedings or steps are pending or have been taken or have been concluded to enforce or otherwise realize upon the
obligations, properties, estates or security of such Loan or the related Borrower or any other guarantor; and the payment of any amount or amounts by Guarantor, pursuant to its obligations hereunder, shall not entitle Guarantor, either at law or
otherwise, to any right, title or interest (whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) in and to any of the Obligations with respect to any Loan, unless and until the full amount of such Obligations has been fully paid, all other Obligations with
respect to such Loan have been fully performed and observed in accordance with their terms. 
 4. Waives diligence, presentment, protest,
notice of dishonor, demand for payment, extension of time of payment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, nonpayment at maturity and indulgences and notices of every kind, and consents to any and all forbearance and extensions of the time of
payment of the Obligations with respect to each Loan, and further consents to any and all changes in the terms, covenants and conditions thereof hereafter made or granted; it being the intention that Guarantor shall remain liable under this Guaranty
until the Agreement shall have been terminated, the Obligations for each Loan shall have been fully repaid to Lender, and the terms, covenants and conditions thereof shall have been fully performed and observed by the related Borrowers with respect
to each Loan and by CSO with respect to the Agreement, notwithstanding any act, omission or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor. 

5. Agrees that this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Lender and its successors and assigns. 

6. This Guaranty may be terminated by written notice to the Lender, however such termination shall not impair or limit the liability of the
Guarantor for Obligations or other liability incurred under this Guaranty or the Agreement by Lender prior to the effective date of such termination. 

7. Agrees, as does Lender by the acceptance hereof, that this Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and that any
dispute or controversy whatsoever arising hereunder shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to the applicable provisions set forth in the Agreement or any other dispute resolution procedures which CSO and Lender may agree upon in writing, all of
which are hereby consented and agreed to by Guarantor and Lender.
