Person-To-Person Lending Overview
Peer-to-peer lending is a means by which borrowers and lenders may transact business without the
traditional intermediaries. It can also be known as Social Lending using the internet.
Internet is the enabling technology for peer-to-peer lending has been the internet, where
peer-to-peer lending appears in two primary variations: an “online marketplace” model and a “family
and friend” model.
The theory is that people will be more likely to repay their obligations if the reputation of their
group is at stake. Anyone (who qualifies with a verifiable name, bank account and Social Security
number) can start a group or join an existing group that matches their interests or philosophy.

|
1. |
|
CPC has elected to use the FICO credit score
model (as modeled by Fair Xxxxx Company) from its credit bureau
partner(s) (TransUnion, Experian, or Equifax) as the primary credit
score model used to categorize loans into Base Risk Grades from lowest
risk to highest risk that Lending Club is willing to accept. |
|
2. |
|
In addition to the Base Risk Grades, Lending
Club will establish additional sub-grades within each Base Risk Grade
using numbers 1 being the lowest risk (best sub-grade) up to the
highest risk (worst sub-grade) as determined by CPC. |
|
3. |
|
Any credit score below the minimum acceptable
score will be denied from being able to list the loan with Lending
Club. |
|
d. |
|
Data Collection & Validation |
|
i. |
|
Lending Club will collect customer performance data to be
used for validation of credit policies as well as future model development. |
|
ii. |
|
Lending Club will also collect periodic updates of credit
scores for monitoring of active loan portfolio quality and trends. |
|
i. |
|
Lending Club defines the Base Risk Grade using
segmentations of default rate of the associated credit score from the lowest
default rate (risk grade of A) up to the highest default rate (risk grade of
D) as listed in the Base Risk Grade Categorization Table in Credit Policy
IV.b. |
|
ii. |
|
Lending Club will not list a loan request where the Base
Risk Grade is below the minimum threshold determined by CPC. |

note that Sub-Grades E~G are only available as a result of adding risk grade
modifiers. No borrowers below the minimum credit score limit will be accepted
except under special Xxxxxxxx.xxx credit rules described below in IV.e. |
WebBank
Person-to-Person Credit Policy
Page 6
|
i. |
|
Xxxxxxxx.xxx — A special rule set was developed for
Xxxxxxxx.xxx, where the users tend to have a shorter credit history.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the credit policy, borrowers
referred through Facebook will be accepted if they have: |
|
1. |
|
FICO score between 610 and 639 (corresponding
to Sub-Grades E1 to G3 in IV.d); |
|
2. |
|
no current delinquencies; |
|
3. |
|
less than 3 delinquencies within the past 24
months; and, |
|
4. |
|
have the oldest credit account age between a
minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 60 months. |
|
i. |
|
Certain information from the credit profile or loan
application warrants manual overrides to the normal Risk Grading process and
triggers immediate exclusion from listing of the loan. |
|
a. |
|
Bankruptcy is listed on the
credit report for ten years. We believe responsible financial
management is a pre-requisite for listing the loan. Therefore
Lending Club will not accept loan requests with a bankruptcy
record within the past seven (7) years in the credit data file. |
|
2. |
|
Derogatory Public Record (unpaid) |
|
a. |
|
A government tax lien will
supersede all unsecured creditor claims. An unpaid lien
typically indicates that additional liens are forthcoming and
greatly increases a Borrower’s risk profile for the loan
request. Lending Club will not list a Borrower’s loan request
whose credit file has existing liens. |
|
a. |
|
Lending Club will exclude from
listing the loan requests from Borrowers who has current
delinquency(ies). |
|
4. |
|
Collection or Write-Off Account (Other than
medical) |
|
a. |
|
Lending Club will exclude from
listing the loan requests from Borrowers who have a current or
recent collection or write-off account within the past 12 months. |
|
5. |
|
Credit Report Fraud Alert |
|
a. |
|
We will not allow the listing of
loan requests from Borrowers whose credit file has an active
fraud alert or an extended fraud alert. |
|
6. |
|
Insufficient Credit Experience |
|
a. |
|
Lending Club will deny listing of
loan requests from borrowers who have a length of credit history
below 12 months. Credit history is established by individual or
co-borrower accounts but not authorized-signer accounts. |
|
7. |
|
Waiting Period for Multiple Listings |
|
a. |
|
Lending Club will require a
waiting period where we can establish a minimum of six months of
satisfactory payment history from a first loan prior to allowing
another loan listing by the same borrower. |
|
8. |
|
Insufficient Total Accounts |
|
a. |
|
Lending Club will exclude
listings where the total number of accounts, both active and
inactive, is less than 4. |
WebBank
Person-to-Person Credit Policy
Page 7
|
9. |
|
Insufficient Open Accounts |
|
a. |
|
Lending Club will exclude from
listing loan requests where the number of open and active
accounts is less than 3. |
|
10. |
|
Excessive Recent Credit Inquiries |
|
a. |
|
Lending Club will not allow
borrowers with more than 10 credit inquiries in the past six (6)
months to list their loan request. |
|
11. |
|
Excessive Credit Utilization |
|
a. |
|
Lending Club will keep borrowers
with credit utilization of 100% or more from listing their loan
requests. |
|
ii. |
|
Lending Club may also manually review and decline some of
the loan listing requests through CPC and/or its delegates. |
|
i. |
|
The primary income source is based solely on the monthly
gross income of the Borrower and does not include that of the spouse or other
individuals in the household. |
|
ii. |
|
In addition to salary income, only recurring incomes of
other types will be considered acceptable income sources. |
|
iii. |
|
Complying with federal regulation, alimony or child support
payments to Borrower are not required to be disclosed unless it is desired to
have such payments counted toward income. |
|
i. |
|
Lending Club reserves the right to require income
verification for every Borrower. Verification may include but is not limited
to the following: |
|
1. |
|
Pay stub for the most recent two (2) pay
periods covering the past 28 days. If self-employed, the most recent
two (2) years signed 1040 tax return with all relevant schedules and
associated forms (i.e. W-2 and 1099 Forms). Borrower may supplement
this requirement with business tax returns if it can be proven that the
borrower has full control of the company and is the owner. |
|
2. |
|
Signed 4506-T form authorizing Lending Club and
its agent to obtain past two (2) years of 1040 or 1065 tax returns, W-2
forms, and/or 1099 forms. |
|
3. |
|
Certified financial statements audited by
state-licensed CPA. |
|
ii. |
|
Borrower’s monthly pre-loan and post-loan debt payment
obligations will be calculated based on information available in the credit
report and Lending Club system. |
|
iii. |
|
Pre-Loan Debt Payment Calculation |
|
1. |
|
Pre-Loan Debt payment obligation is calculated
by aggregating borrower’s monthly revolving and installment payments
only (includes monthly payment for any Lending Club loan issued prior
to this request), without any mortgages. The resulting number will be
the Total Monthly Pre-Loan Debt Payment amount. |
WebBank
Person-to-Person Credit Policy
Page 8
|
iv. |
|
Post-Loan Debt Payment Calculations |
|
1. |
|
Non-Mortgage Post-Loan Debt Payment is
calculated by adding Total Monthly Pre-Loan Debt Payment to the monthly
payment amount of the Lending Club loan listing that borrower is
requesting. This is the Post-Loan Non-Mortgage Debt Payment. |
|
2. |
|
Total Post-Loan Debt Payment is calculated by
the monthly payments from all mortgages to the Post-Loan Non-Mortgage
Debt Payment. This is the Total Post-Loan Debt Payment. |
|
d. |
|
DTI (Debt to Income) Ratio Calculation |
|
i. |
|
Pre-Loan DTI (DTI-1) is calculated based on representing
the Total Monthly Pre-Loan Debt Payment obligations as a percentage of gross
monthly income as determined in Credit Policy V.a & X.x. |
|
xx. |
|
Post-Loan Non-Mortgage DTI (DTI-3) is calculated based on
representing the Post-Loan Non-Mortgage Debt Payment obligations as a
percentage of gross monthly income as determined in Credit Policy V.a & V.c. |
|
iii. |
|
Post-Loan DTI (DTI-4) is calculated based on representing
the Total Post-Loan Debt Payment obligations as a percentage of gross monthly
income as determined in Credit Policy V.a & V.c. |
|
i. |
|
Lending Club will decline to list any loan request with a
Pre-Loan DTI above the maximum Pre-Loan DTI limit as determined and adjusted
by CPC from time to time. |
|
ii. |
|
Lending Club will decline to list any loan request with a
Post-Loan Non-Mortgage DTI above the maximum Post-Loan Non-Mortgage DTI limit
as determined and adjusted by CPC from time to time. |
|
iii. |
|
Lending Club will decline to list any loan request with a
Post-Loan DTI above the maximum Post-Loan DTI limit as determined and changed
by CPC from time to time. |
|
1. |
|
DTI-1 — Maximum acceptable DTI-1 is 30%
|
|
|
2. |
|
DTI-3 — Maximum acceptable DTI-3 is 48% |
|
a. |
|
Pre-Loan Debt-To-Income Ratio (DTI-1) |
Borrower’s capacity to repay is a primary factor in establishing loan default
risk. DTI measures the ability of Borrower’s income to cover debt service.
Sub-Grade is adjusted up or down in accordance with the DTI ratio using a grade
adjustment system as depicted in the Modifier Table in Credit Policy VI.c.
|
b. |
|
Guidance Limit Utilization |
|
i. |
|
Guidance Limit is assigned by Lending Club after
considering Borrower’s risk profile and loan application as depicted in
Guidance Limit Table in Credit Policy VI.b.ii. Based on the Guidance Limit
derived from either an external decisioning analytics vendor or internal
credit models, Sub-Grade is adjusted up or down by the Loan Amount to
Guidance Limit Ratio as depicted in the Modifier Table in Credit Policy VI.c. |

|
Various channels where Lending Club sources the leads for
its loan listing requests may perform differently over time. Risk grade
modifiers are used to appropriately reflect such differences in credit risk. |
|
ii. |
|
Xxxxxx.xxx — Based on experiences of higher default and
delinquency rate with loans from this channel, Lending Club will add an
additional -5 Sub-Grade to loan listings coming from xxxxxx.xxx channel. |
|
i. |
|
The number of open accounts is an indication of credit
experience as well as credit usage behavior. Low numbers indicates lack of
sufficient credit experience, while a higher number indicates excessive
credit accounts which may lead to over-leverage. |
|
ii. |
|
This is the number of currently active accounts on the
borrower’s credit report. This includes all revolving accounts that can be
drawn down, along with all installment and mortgage accounts that carries a
balance and are not yet paid off. |
|
e. |
|
Recent Credit Inquiries (6 months) |
|
i. |
|
Number of credit inquiries acts as an indication of
borrower’s need for additional credit as well as potential fraud. Excessive
number of credit inquiries is positively correlated to delinquencies and
defaults. |
|
ii. |
|
This is the total number of credit inquiries within the
past six (6) months as indicated by Lending Club’s credit bureau partners. |
|
f. |
|
Credit Utilization (%) |
|
i. |
|
Credit utilization helps to identify credit availability
from borrowers’ existing credit report. High utilization may indicate
potential cash flow uncertainty while a low utilization may be a result of
lack of credit experience/usage. |
|
ii. |
|
Credit Utilization is calculated based on total balances
owed on revolving accounts divided by the credit limit and/or highest usage
on the account. |
|
g. |
|
Credit History Length (months) |
|
i. |
|
Length of credit history is an important identifier of
credit risk as the shorter the history, the greater the uncertainty about the
behavior of the borrower over time. |
|
ii. |
|
Credit history length is calculated based on the earliest
credit account from the borrower’s credit report until the date of the credit
report. |

Exhibit C
Form of Application
This is
the home page that any consumer would see going to the xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx url. For the
purposes of getting screen prints, I pulled the information from a demo site that does not put a
real listing out on the site.
In this
instance, I clicked the “join now” button on the top right bar.
1
This is the first “become a member” page (see the bottom half on the next page of this deck).
Information requests here are basic as this information is the same for lenders, borrowers or
people who just want to register.
2
After completing the information on the previous page, Lending Club sends a confirmation e-mail so
that we know that we have an effective method of reaching this person.
4
This is what the e-mail looks like. The member would click the URL in the e-mail to get back to a
validated lending club page (see next page).
5
At this point, the consumer would be a registered member of Lending Club where we would ask them to
sign in.
6
After they sign in, we allow them to participate in a referral program and invite their friends.
They can easily skip this step by clicking “skip”.
7
The member would then be asked to identify themself as lender or a borrower. In this case, we will
click on “get a loan” and will become a lending club borrower.
8
This is the first step of the loan request process. We ask the borrower to fill in the “loan
amount”, “loan purpose”, “loan title” and a loan description.
9
This is the bottom half of the same page, but includes some data that I typed in.
10
Step 2 asks information relevant to pulling a borrowers credit information. You can see the request
for SSN, DofBirth, Address.
11
Income. We request that the borrower digitally sign that they understand we may ask for income
verification and that they digitally sign that they agree with and allow lending club to access
their credit according to the credit profile authorization agreement. Employment information is
also requested.
13
At this step, my identity was verified. I was not asked to go through the additional steps of
knowledge based authentication. Let me know if you want those screen shots as they are relatively
standard.
14
I asked for a $5,000 loan. As you can see, this page lets me know that I am approved to list my
loan and the related terms. I can also choose to take a little more (at a higher interest rate) or
take less (at a lower interest rate).
15
After I confirm the loan amount and interest rate, we display the Truth in Lending Disclosure
Statement. The lower half of this page is on the next two slides.
16
At this point, I am asked to provide an external bank account where we can deposit the loan and
make the withdrawal debits. The bottom half of this page is on the next powerpoint slide.
19
You can see that I am asked to digitally sign the Bank Account Verification agreement.
20
At step
7, I am asked to affiliate myself based on Geography, Education, Workplace, and Association.
This information is extends onto the next page.
21
At this point the loan information is summarized for the borrower to provide a final confirmation
and digitally sign the Borrower Agreement.
23
The loan is now listed and live.
24
This is what the loan listing looks like (and it is continued on the next two pages).

Exhibit D
Loan Account Documentation
Loan Agreement and Promissory Note
The following terms, together with your loan request on the Site, as defined herein, constitute a
binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and WebBank, a
Utah-chartered industrial bank
(“WBK,” “we,” or “us”).
BY ELECTRONICALLY SIGNING THE AGREEMENT, YOU HAVE SIGNIFIED YOUR AGREEMENT
TO THESE TERMS. Under this Agreement, you agree to receive and repay one or more installment loans
from us, through the website lending platform at xxx.Xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, including any subdomains
thereof (the “Site”) operated by
LendingClub Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“LendingClub”).
These terms affect your rights and you should read them carefully and print a copy for your
records. Your agreement to these terms means you agree to borrow and repay the money if your loan
is funded under the terms of this Agreement, consent to our privacy policy, agree to transact with
us electronically, and agree to have any dispute with us resolved by binding arbitration.
1. Loan Terms. Your loan will have a principal balance between $1,000 and $25,000 in the specific
amount and on the terms set forth in the disclosures provided to you (see the disclosures at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxXxXxxxxxx.xxxxxx). All loans are closed-end loans with a
three (3)-year term. Please see the disclosures provided to you in connection with registering your
loan request on the Site for additional details. Your obligations, including your obligation to
repay principal and interest, are set forth in this Agreement and in the Note or Notes that you
will make to us, as described in section 3 below.
2. Credit Decisions. Your loan request must include your annual income and such other information
as we may obtain through the Site. We will consider public assistance, alimony, child support, or
separate maintenance income as income if you choose to include such sources of income in your
application and such income is likely to continue. We reserve the right to verify any information
you submit by requiring you to produce appropriate documentation or other proof, and also reserve
the right to conduct such verification through a third party. You hereby authorize us to request
and obtain data from a third party to verify any information you provide to us in connection with
your loan request. We may terminate consideration of your application at any time in our sole
discretion.
3. Loan Funding and Closing. You may post a loan request on the Site, and LendingClub lender
members (“Lender Members”) will be able to review your loan request. Lender Members may commit
funds to purchase, in various amounts, Member Payment Dependent Notes (“MPDNs”) that LendingClub
may issue to Lender Members who commit funds for your
loan request. You acknowledge that a Lender Member’s commitment to purchase a MPDN corresponding to
all or a portion of your loan from us does not confer any rights to you. You understand that
individual Lender Members make their own decisions whether to commit funds for your loan.
LendingClub may also choose to commit funds for all or part of your loan request but is not
obligated to do so. If, within 14 days following the posting of your loan request, the aggregate
amount of funding commitments through the Site fulfills your loan request (or such lesser amount as
you choose to accept), your loan will close unless you notify us in writing of your election to
terminate your loan request sufficiently far in advance of loan closing for us to cancel the loan.
Full or partial funding of your loan request might be available before the expiration of the 14-day
period set forth above. In no event shall we be obligated to notify you of the date upon which your
loan may or will fund.
If we extend a loan to you, you agree to execute by power of attorney as described below, and be
bound by the terms set forth in, the form of promissory note attached as Exhibit A (the “Note”) as
to your loan. You agree to execute multiple Notes if we request you do so, provided that the
aggregate principal amounts of such Notes shall equal the total amount of your loan. LendingClub
will execute your Note(s) on your behalf pursuant to a power of attorney you grant to LendingClub
when registering your loan request. You authorize us to disburse the loan proceeds by Automated
Clearing House (“ACH”) transfer to your designated account. Following our disbursement of the loan
proceeds to you, we will assign the Note(s) and your loan to LendingClub.
BY COMPLETING YOUR APPLICATION AND SUBMITTING YOUR LOAN REQUEST, YOU ARE COMMITTING TO OBTAIN A
LOAN FROM US IN THE AMOUNT AND ON THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THE DISCLOSURES PROVIDED TO YOU IN
CONNECTION WITH YOUR REQUEST, SHOULD YOUR REQUEST BE FUNDED. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO RESCIND THE LOAN
ONCE MADE BUT YOU MAY PREPAY THE LOAN AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PENALTY. We will not lend you any funds
unless and until sufficient commitments are received from Lender Members and/or LendingClub.
4. Making Your Loan Payments. You authorize us and our successors and assigns to debit your
designated account by ACH transfer for the amount of each payment due on each due date. You
acknowledge and agree that the loan reflects a discount of 5 percent (5%) off the interest rate,
which is contingent upon you making loan payments by ACH transfer. You may elect to make payments
by personal check by contacting xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by regular mail at
LendingClub
Corporation, 000 X Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000,
Attention: Loan Processing Department. If you elect to make payments by check, the interest rate
discount will be cancelled and the interest rate will be increased immediately starting with your
next payment by an additional 5 percent (5%) for the remaining duration of the loan. For example,
if your loan had an interest rate of 10 percent (10%), payments by check would increase your
interest rate to 15 percent (15%). In such event, the term of your loan and the number of payments
will remain the same, but your payment amount will increase. If you elect to make payments by
check, you must send the check either (i) by regular mail to Lending Club Corporation, Dept #34268,
X.X. Xxx 00000, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, or (ii) by overnight mail or UPS delivery to Xxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx #00000, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxx X, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000. This authorization
does not affect your obligation to pay when due all amounts payable on your loan, whether or not
there are sufficient funds therefore in such accounts. The foregoing authorization is in addition
to, and not in limitation of, any rights of setoff we may have. With regard to payments made by
automatic withdrawal, you have the right to stop payment of automatic withdrawals or revoke your
prior authorization for automatic withdrawals by notifying your financial institution at least
three (3) banking days before the scheduled date of transfer. You must notify us of the exercise of
your right to stop a payment or revoke your authorization for automatic withdrawals at least three
(3) banking days before the scheduled date of transfer. All payments are to be applied first to the
payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due (excluding principal and interest), then to
accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that
after an Event of Default (as defined below), payments will be applied to your obligations as we
determine in our sole discretion.
5. Other Borrower Obligations. You agree that you will not, in connection with your loan request:
(i) make any false, misleading or deceptive statements or omissions of fact in your listing; (ii)
misrepresent your identity, or describe, present or portray yourself as a person other than
yourself; (iii) give to or receive from, or offer or agree to give to or receive from any
LendingClub member or other person any fee, bonus, additional interest, kickback or thing of value
of any kind except in accordance with the terms of your loan; (iv) represent yourself to any
person, as a representative, employee, or agent of ours, or purport to speak to any person on our
behalf; or (v) provide, in your loan request or in communications on the Site related to your loan
request, information upon which a discriminatory lending decision may be made, such as your race,
color, religion, national origin, sex, or age. You acknowledge and agree that we may rely without
independent verification on the accuracy, authenticity, and completeness of all information you
provide to us. You certify that the proceeds of the loan will
not be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any securities or to fund any illegal
activity.
6. Fees. A non-refundable origination fee paid by you to LendingClub as provided under your
agreement with LendingClub will be deducted from your loan proceeds, so the loan proceeds delivered
to you will be less than the full amount of your loan request. You acknowledge that the origination
fee will be considered part of the principal on your loan and is subject to the accrual of
interest. You agree to pay a fee of $15, if ACH transfers or checks are returned or fail due to
insufficient funds in your account or for any other reason. Each attempt to collect a payment is
considered a separate transaction, so an unsuccessful payment fee will be assessed for each failed
attempt. The bank that holds your designated account may assess its own fee in addition to the fee
we assess. If any payment is more than 15 days late, we may charge a late fee in an amount equal to
the greater of 5% of the outstanding principal and interest or $15. If a payment is more than 30
days late, we shall charge such late fee. We will charge only one late fee on each late payment.
These fees may be collected using ACH transfers initiated by us from your designated account. Any
such late fee assessed is immediately due and payable. Any payment received after 6:00 P.M., Salt
Lake City time, on a banking day is deemed received on the next succeeding banking day.
7. Default and Termination. You will be deemed in default on your loan (each, an “Event of
Default”) if you: (1) fail to pay timely any amount due on your loan; (2) file or have instituted
against you any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or make any assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (3) die; (4) commit fraud or make any material misrepresentation in this Agreement, the
Note, or any other documents, applications or related materials delivered to us in connection with
your loan; or (5) fail to abide by the terms of this Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, we may exercise all remedies available to us under
applicable law, this Agreement, and the Note, including without limitation (1) demand that you
immediately pay all amounts owed on your loan and (2) terminate this Agreement. Any loans you
obtain prior to the effective date of termination resulting from listings you placed on the Site
shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
8. Collection & Reporting of Delinquent Loans. We reserve the right to report loan payment
delinquencies at or in excess of 30 days to one or more consumer reporting agencies in accordance
with applicable law. You agree to pay all costs of collecting any delinquent payments, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, as permitted by applicable law.
9. Assignment of Your Loan. Following the closing of your loan you hereby agree that we may,
without notice to you, (i) assign all of our right, title and interest in this Agreement to
LendingClub; and (ii) assign your Note(s) to LendingClub.
10. NO GUARANTEE. WE DO NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE (1) THAT YOUR LOAN REQUEST WILL BE FUNDED, OR (2)
THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE A LOAN AS A RESULT OF POSTING A REQUEST.
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any Note represents the entire agreement between you and
us regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications,
promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between us with respect to your loan
request and loan. The WBK Privacy Notice attached as Exhibit B is incorporated by reference into
this Agreement.
12. Consent to Electronic Transactions and Disclosures. THIS AGREEMENT IS FULLY SUBJECT TO YOUR
CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS AND DISCLOSURES, WHICH CONSENT IS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF USE
FOR THE SITE.
13. Notices. All notices and other communications to you hereunder may be given by email to your
registered email address or posted on the Site, and shall be deemed to have been duly given and
effective upon transmission. You acknowledge that you have sole access to such email account and
your area on the Site and that communications from us may contain sensitive, confidential, and
collections-related communications. If your registered email address changes, you must notify
LendingClub of the change by sending an email to xxxxxxx@Xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or calling 000-000-0000.
You also agree to update your registered residence address and telephone number on the Site if they
change.
14. NO WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES TO YOU, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
15. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
FURTHERMORE, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY TO YOU REGARDING THE EFFECT THAT THE AGREEMENT
MAY HAVE UPON YOUR FOREIGN, FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX LIABILITY.
16. Miscellaneous. The parties acknowledge that there are no third party beneficiaries to this
Agreement. You may not assign, transfer, sublicense or otherwise delegate your rights or
obligations under this Agreement to another person without our prior written consent. Any such
assignment, transfer, sublicense or delegation in violation of this section 16 shall be null and
void. We are located in the state of
Utah and this Agreement and the Note will be entered into in
the state of
Utah. The provisions of this Agreement will be governed by federal laws and the laws
of the state of
Utah to the extent not preempted, without regard to any principle of conflicts of
laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any waiver
of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be a waiver of any other subsequent breach.
Failure or delay by either party to enforce any term or condition of this Agreement will not
constitute a waiver of such term or condition. If at any time after the date of this Agreement, any
of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect, but the illegality
and unenforceability of such provision shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the
enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement. The headings in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement in any way.
17. Arbitration.
a. Either party to this Agreement, or LendingClub, may, at its sole election, require that the sole
and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant
to this section 17 (the “Arbitration Provision”), unless you opt out as provided in section 17(b)
below. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future
claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you),
on the one hand, and us and/or LendingClub (or persons claiming through or connected with us and/or
LendingClub), on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Note, the Site,
and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing,
including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of section 17(f) below) the
validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire
Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort
(intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or
otherwise. Claims include matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims,
third-party claims, or otherwise. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the
broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.
b. You may opt out of this Arbitration Provision for all purposes by sending an arbitration opt out
notice to
LendingClub Corporation, 000 X Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Loan
Processing Department, that is received at the specified address within 30 days of the date of your
electronic acceptance of the terms of this Agreement. The opt out notice must clearly state that
you are rejecting arbitration; identify the Agreement to which it applies by date; provide your
name, address, and social security number; and be signed by you. You may send the opt out notice in
any manner you see fit as long as it is received at the specified address within the specified
time. No other methods can be used to opt out of this Arbitration Provision. If the opt out notice
is sent on your behalf by a third party, such third party must include evidence of his or her
authority to submit the opt out notice on your behalf.
c. The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”) or JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the
arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator
selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any
countervailing law. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator
and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing
law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the
administrator apply.
d. If we (or LendingClub) elect arbitration, we (or LendingClub, as the case may be) shall pay all
the administrator’s filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). lf you elect
arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in
accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law
if contrary to the administrator’s rules. We (or LendingClub, as the case may be) shall pay the
administrator’s hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that
exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator’s rules
or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we (or LendingClub) pay them and we agree
(or LendingClub agrees) to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys’ fees,
except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees,
these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein.
e. Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, any party may appeal the award for
reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator
administrator. In the event of such an appeal, any opposing party may cross-appeal within 30
days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award
that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision
and the administrator’s rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by
the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be
final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and may
be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
f. We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate an individual Claim you may bring in Small Claims
Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. NO
ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE
ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS
REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to
the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for
or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration
unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all
parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of
the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (a)
determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any
Claim of anyone other than a named party; nor (b) make an award for the benefit of, or against,
anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority
to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this section 17(f), and any attempt to do so, whether by rule,
policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the
validity of this section 17(f) shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the
administrator or any arbitrator.
g. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and
shall be governed by and enforceable under the FAA. The arbitrator will apply substantive law
consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or
other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth
in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and
evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect
confidential information.
h. This Arbitration Provision shall survive (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or
amendments to this Agreement and the relationship of the parties and/or LendingClub; (ii) the
bankruptcy or insolvency of any party or other person; and (iii) any transfer of any loan or Note
or any other promissory note(s) which you owe, or any amounts owed on such loans or notes, to any
other person or entity. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than section 17(f) is
deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall
nevertheless remain valid and in force. If an arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or
collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in section 17(f) are finally adjudicated
pursuant to the last sentence of section 17(f) to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be
had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or
make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR
JURY, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION
PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS
IN A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY.
Exhibit A
Borrower name and address: ______________________________________________ (not visible to lenders)
$_______________
_____________, 200_
For value received, I (“Borrower”) promise to pay to the order of WebBank or any subsequent holder
(“you” or “Lender”) of this Promissory Note (the “Note”) the principal sum of
_____
($_____) Dollars with interest as set forth below. I intend to be legally bound by this Note. I
have read, understood, and agreed to all of the terms of this Note.
Interest. This Note bears interest during each calendar month from the date hereof until
paid, at a fixed rate of
_____
(%) annual percentage rate. Interest is calculated on a monthly
basis upon the unpaid balance with each date representing 1/12th of a year.
Payments. Principal and interest is to be paid during and throughout the period of
thirty-six (36) months in the following manner:
Payments of principal and interest in the amount of
_____
($_____) Dollars are to be
made by the Borrower to the Lender commencing
_____, 200_, and on the same day of each
successive month thereafter until
_____, 200_, when the full amount of unpaid principal,
together with unpaid accrued interest is due and payable. If the monthly anniversary is on the
29th, 30th, or 31st of the month, and the following month does not have a 29th, 30th, or 31st day,
the monthly payment will be due on the last day of the month in which the payment was due. The last
payment might be of a slightly different amount to adjust for rounding.
All payments on this Note are to be made in immediately available lawful money of the United
States. Borrower authorizes Lender to debit Borrower’s designated account by Automated Clearing
House (“ACH”) transfer for the amount of each payment due on each due date. Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that the loan reflects a discount of 5 percent (5%) off the interest rate, which is
contingent upon Borrower making loan payments by ACH transfer. Borrower may elect to make payments
by personal check by contacting xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by regular mail at
LendingClub
Corporation, 000 X Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Loan Processing Department.
If Borrower elects to make payments by check, the interest rate discount will be cancelled and the
interest rate will be increased immediately starting with the next payment by 5 percent (5%) for
the remaining term of this Note. For example, if your loan had an interest rate of 10 percent
(10%), your interest rate would increase to 15 percent (15%). In such event, the term of the Note
and the number of payments will remain the same, but the payment amount will increase. This
authorization does not affect Borrower’s obligations to pay when due all amounts payable under this
Note, whether or not there are sufficient funds therefore in such accounts. The foregoing
authorization is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights of setoff Lender may have.
With regard to payments made by automatic withdrawal, Borrower has the right to stop payment of
automatic withdrawals or revoke Borrower’s prior authorization for automatic withdrawals by
notifying Borrower’s financial institution at least three (3) banking days before the scheduled
date of transfer. Borrower will notify Lender of the exercise of Borrower’s right to stop a payment
or revoke Borrower’s authorization for automatic withdrawals at least three (3) banking days before
the scheduled date of transfer. All payments are to be applied first to the payment of all fees,
expenses and other amounts due to Lender (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued
interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal;
provided, however, that after an Event of Default (as defined below), payments will be applied to
Borrower’s obligations as Lender determines in its sole discretion.
Fees and Charges. A non-refundable origination fee paid by Borrower to
LendingClub
Corporation, in the amount and on the terms set forth in Borrower’s agreement with
LendingClub
Corporation, will be deducted from Borrower’s loan proceeds, so the loan proceeds delivered to
Borrower will be less than the full amount of Borrower’s loan request. Borrower acknowledges that
the origination fee will be considered part of the principal of Borrower’s loan and is subject to
the accrual of interest. Borrower agrees to pay a fee of $15 if ACH transfers or checks are
returned or fail due to insufficient funds in Borrower’s account or for any other reason. Borrower
acknowledges that the bank that holds Borrower’s designated account may charge a fee in addition to
this fee. Each attempt to collect a payment is considered a separate transaction, so an
unsuccessful payment fee will be assessed for each failed attempt. If Borrower’s payment is more
than 15 days late, Lender may charge a late fee in an amount the greater of 5% of the outstanding
payment or $15. If Borrower’s payment is more than 30 days late, Lender shall charge such late fee.
These fees may be collected using ACH transfers initiated by us from Borrower’s designated account.
Any such late fee assessed is immediately due and payable. Any payment received after 6:00 P.M.,
Salt Lake City time, on a banking day is deemed received on the next succeeding banking day.
Prepayments and Partial Payments. Borrower may make any payment early, in whole or in part,
without penalty or premium at any time. Any partial prepayment is to be applied against the
principal amount outstanding and does not postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly
installments, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing. If Borrower prepays this Note in part,
Borrower agrees to continue to make regularly scheduled payments until all amounts due under this
Note are paid. Lender may accept late payments or partial payments, even though marked “paid in
full”, without losing any rights under this Note.
Use of Funds. Borrower certifies that the proceeds of the loan will not be used for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any securities or to fund any illegal activity.
Default. Borrower will be deemed in default (each, an “Event of Default”) of Borrower’s
obligations under this Note if Borrower: (i) fails to pay timely any amount due under this Note;
(ii) files or has instituted against Borrower any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or makes any
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) dies; (iv) commits fraud or makes any material
misrepresentation in this Note; or (v) fails to abide by the terms of this Note.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise all remedies available to it under
applicable law, including demand upon Borrower to immediately pay all amounts due under this Note.
Lender reserves the right to report loan payment delinquencies of 30 days or longer to one or more
consumer reporting agencies in accordance with applicable law. Borrower agrees to pay all costs of
collecting any delinquent payments, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as permitted by
applicable law.
This Note is not negotiable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may assign this Note, including
without limitation to
LendingClub Corporation, without notice to Borrower. Borrower may not assign
this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. This Note inures to the successors,
permitted assigns, heirs and representatives of Borrower and Lender.
Borrower hereby waives demand, notice of non-payment, protest, and all other notices or demands
whatsoever, and hereby consents that without notice to and without releasing the liability of any
party, the obligations evidenced by this Note may from time to time, in whole or part, be renewed,
extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, settled or released by Lender.
Any changes to this Note must be in writing signed by Borrower and Lender. Notices will be mailed
electronically to the addresses provided.
Controlling Law. We are located in the State of
Utah and this Note has been executed and
delivered in the State of
Utah and is deemed a contract made under such state’s law. The provisions
of this Note will be governed by federal laws and the laws of the State of
Utah to the extent not
preempted, without regard to any principle of conflicts of law. The unenforceability of any
provision of this Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision of
this Note.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY: A married applicant may apply for a separate account. If Lender
takes any adverse action as defined by § 1785.3 of the California Civil Code and the adverse action
is based, in whole or in part, on any information contained in a consumer credit report, Borrower
has the right to obtain within 60 days a free copy of Borrower’s consumer credit report from the
consumer reporting agency who furnished the consumer credit report
and from any other consumer credit reporting agency that complies and maintains files on consumers
on a nationwide basis.
CALIFORNIA AND
UTAH RESIDENTS: As required by California and Utah law, Borrower is
hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on Borrower’s credit record may be
submitted to a credit reporting agency if Borrower fails to fulfill the terms of Borrower’s credit
obligations.
KANSAS (and IOWA residents if the principal amount of this loan exceeds $20,000):
IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE SIGNING. THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BECAUSE ONLY
THOSE TERMS IN WRITING ARE ENFORCEABLE. NO OTHER TERMS OR ORAL PROMISES NOT CONTAINED IN THIS
WRITTEN CONTRACT MAY BE LEGALLY ENFORCED. LENDER MAY CHANGE THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT ONLY BY
ANOTHER WRITTEN AGREEMENT.
MARYLAND RESIDENTS ONLY: Lender elects to make this loan pursuant to Subtitle 10 (Credit
Grantor Closed End Credit provisions) of Title 12 of the Maryland Commercial Law Article only to
the extent that such provisions are not inconsistent with Lender’s authority under federal law (12
U.S.C. § 85, § 1463(g), or § 1831d, as appropriate) and related regulations and interpretations,
which authority Lender expressly reserves.
MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS ONLY: Massachusetts law prohibits discrimination based upon marital
status or sexual orientation.
MISSOURI AND NEBRASKA RESIDENTS: ORAL LOAN AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY,
EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF SUCH DEBT, INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR
RENEW SUCH DEBT, ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. TO PROTECT BORROWER(S) AND THE LENDER AND ANY HOLDER OF THIS
NOTE FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS WE REACH COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE
CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
US, EXCEPT AS WE MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO MODIFY IT.
NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS: The section headings of the Note are a table of contents and not
contract terms. Portions of this Note with references to actions taken to the extent of applicable
law apply to acts or practices that New Jersey law permits or requires. In this Note, actions or
practices (i) by which Lender is or may be permitted by “applicable law” are
permitted by New Jersey law, and (ii) that may be or will be taken by Lender unless prohibited by
“applicable law” are permitted by New Jersey law.
NEW YORK,

agrees that Lender may obtain a consumer credit report in connection with this application and in
connection with any update, renewals for extension of any credit as a result of this application.
If Borrower asks, Borrower will be informed whether or not such a report was obtained, and if so,
the name and address of the agency that furnished the report. Borrower also understands and agrees
that Lender may obtain a consumer credit report in connection with the review or collection of any
loan made to Borrower as a result of this application or for other legitimate purposes related to
such loans.
OHIO RESIDENTS ONLY: The Ohio laws against discrimination require that all creditors make
credit equally available to all credit-worthy customers, and that credit reporting agencies
maintain separate credit histories on each individual upon request. The Ohio Civil Rights
Commission administers compliance with the law.
WISCONSIN RESIDENTS ONLY: For married Wisconsin residents, Borrower’s signature confirms
that this loan obligation is being incurred in the interest of Borrower’s marriage or family. No
provision of any marital property agreement (pre-marital agreement), unilateral statement under §
766.59 of the Wisconsin statutes or court decree under § 766.70 adversely affects Lender’s interest
unless, prior to the time that the loan is approved, Lender is furnished with a copy of the marital
property agreement, statement, or decree or have actual knowledge of the adverse provision. If this
loan for which Borrower is applying is granted, Borrower will notify Lender if Borrower has a
spouse who needs to receive notification that credit has been extended to Borrower.

Borrower Membership Agreement
The following terms constitute a binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and LendingClub
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“LendingClub,” “we,” or “us”). BY ELECTRONICALLY SIGNING THE
AGREEMENT, YOU HAVE SIGNIFIED YOUR AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS. Under this Agreement, you agree to
apply for one or more installment loans from our designated lender, WebBank, a Utah-chartered
industrial bank (“WBK”), through the web site lending platform at xxx.Xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, including
any subdomains thereof (the “Site”), operated by us. These terms affect your rights and you should
read them carefully and print a copy for your records. Your agreement to these terms means you
agree to borrow and repay the money if any of your loans are funded, consent to our privacy policy,
agree to transact with us electronically, and agree to have any dispute with us resolved by binding
arbitration.
1. Registration as a Borrower Member. You are applying to register with us as a borrower member on
the Site. Registration as a borrower member lets you post qualifying loan requests on the Site and
obliges you to accept any resulting loans that satisfy such requests, subject to your right to
cancel your loan request before closing as set forth in section 3 below. Registration on the Site
as a borrower member is restricted to individuals who satisfy WBK’s credit policy. Under WBK’s
current credit policy, your Fair Xxxxx Corporation (“FICO”) score must be greater than 640 and you
must meet other credit criteria in order for you to be eligible to apply for a loan. If for any
reason you do not qualify or you later cease to qualify for a loan from WBK, if, for example, your
FICO score from any consumer reporting agency falls below 640, we or WBK may terminate your loan
request and deny your ability to make additional loan requests. Even if your FICO score is higher
than 640, we or WBK may nevertheless terminate your registration or loan request based on WBK’s
other credit criteria such as debt-to-income ratio or other information in your credit report.
2. Account Verification. You authorize us to initiate a debit entry to your bank account in an
amount of $0.01 to $0.99 for account verification purposes through the ACH network. We will reverse
this debit following verification and no funds will be removed from your account. You understand
that if we are unable to verify your bank account for any reason, we will cancel your application
and your loan request will not be posted on the Site.
3. Loan Requests. To the extent you become and remain a registered borrower member, you may post a
qualifying loan request on the Site in the amount of $1,000 to $25,000. You may
not post more than one loan request on the site at a time and you may not have more than two loans
outstanding at any given time. Your loan request must include all information required by us and
WBK. Any qualifying loan requests you post may remain as an active listing on the Site for up to 14
days. If your loan request attracts enough funding offers in accordance with your agreement with
WBK, then your loan will close unless you notify us in writing of your election to terminate your
loan request sufficiently far in advance of loan closing for us to direct WBK to cancel the loan
and for WBK to cancel the transfer of the loan proceeds to your designated account. Full or partial
funding of your loan request may be available before the expiration of the 14-day period set forth
above but in no event shall we be obligated to notify you of the date upon which your loan may or
will fund. Funding of any loans you receive will proceed as described in your Loan Agreement with
WBK.
4. Limited Power of Attorney. As a condition to registering as a borrower member on the Site, you
hereby grant us a limited power of attorney and appoint us and/or our designees as your true and
lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, for you and
in your name, place and xxxxx, in any and all capacities, to complete and execute one or more
promissory notes in the form appended to your Loan Agreement with WBK (each, a “Note”) representing
in the aggregate the total principal amount you accept, and the terms, of each loan made to you by
WBK in accordance with the disclosures made to you about such loan (see the disclosures at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxXxXxxxxxx.xxxxxx), with the full power and authority to do
and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with such
power as fully to all intents and purposes as you might or could do in person (“Power of
Attorney”). This Power of Attorney is limited solely to the purpose described above and will expire
automatically upon the earlier of (i) the execution of the Notes by us on your behalf or (ii) the
termination or expiration of your loan request posted on the Site. You may revoke the Power of
Attorney at any time before the funds representing your loan proceeds are transferred to your
designated account and the Notes are executed on your behalf by contacting us in accordance with
section 7, Communications. Once the Notes have been signed by LendingClub acting as your
attorney-in-fact, however, they are deemed executed on your behalf and the executed Notes shall be
your valid and binding obligations thereafter. If you choose to revoke the Power of Attorney prior
to execution of Notes, we will be unable to proceed with processing your loan request and your
pending loan requests will be considered withdrawn, and your registration as a borrower member on
the Site will be terminated. In such event, we will remove any loan requests you have posted on the
Site and
you may be prohibited from posting additional qualifying loan requests in the future in our
discretion.
5. Origination Fee. If your loan request results in a loan, you must pay us a non-refundable
origination fee. The amount of the fee ranges from 0.75% to 3% of the loan amount, or such lesser
amount as may be provided by applicable law, depending on your credit profile, which amount is
stated in the disclosures provided to you (see the disclosures at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxXxXxxxxxx.xxxxxx). This fee will be deducted from your loan
proceeds, so the loan proceeds delivered to you will be less than the full amount of your loan
request. You acknowledge that the origination fee will be considered part of the principal on your
loan and is subject to the accrual of interest.
6. Loan Servicing. You acknowledge and agree that LendingClub shall serve as the loan servicer for
any and all loans you receive but that LendingClub may delegate servicing to another entity. As
loan servicer, LendingClub will administer and collect on your loans. LendingClub will maintain all
Notes representing your loans in electronic form and shall make all such Notes available to you for
review on the Site.
7. Communications. You agree not to communicate with the Lender Members who purchase Member Payment
Dependent Notes (“MPDNs”) corresponding to your loans except anonymously and publicly through
posting on the Site. For a detailed description of the MPDNs, please refer to the Prospectus
available at [link to Prospectus]. Subject to section 18, you will send any inquiries, requests for
deferment or forbearance, or other communications regarding your loans by email to
xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by regular mail to LendingClub Corporation, 000 X Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Loan Processing Department.
8. Other Borrower Obligations. You agree that you will not, in connection with your loan request:
(i) make any false, misleading or deceptive statements or omissions of fact in your listing,
including but not limited to in the loan title, or in your loan description; (ii) misrepresent your
identity, or describe, present or portray yourself as a person other than yourself; (iii) give to
or receive from, or offer or agree to give to or receive from any LendingClub member or other
person any fee, bonus, additional interest, kickback or thing of value of any kind except in
accordance with the terms of your loan; (iv) represent yourself to any person, as a representative,
employee, or agent of ours, or purport to speak to any person on our behalf; or (v) provide, in
your loan request or in communications on the Site
related to your loan request, information upon which a discriminatory lending decision may be made,
such as your race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or age. You acknowledge and agree that we
may rely without independent verification on the accuracy, authenticity, and completeness of all
information you provide to us.
9. Verification. We reserve the right to verify the accuracy of all information you provide and to
terminate this Agreement and remove your loan request in case of any inaccuracy or omission in your
loan request or your application, or any other violation of this Agreement. We reserve the right to
verify any information you submit through the production of appropriate documentation, and also
reserve the right to conduct such verification through a third party. You hereby authorize us to
request and obtain data from a third party to verify any information you provide us in connection
with your registration as a borrower member on the Site.
10. NO GUARANTEE. WE DO NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE (1) THAT YOUR REQUEST WILL BE FUNDED, OR (2) THAT
YOU WILL RECEIVE A LOAN AS A RESULT OF POSTING A REQUEST.
11. Restrictions on Use of Proceeds; Bank Account. You are not authorized or permitted to use the
Site to obtain, or attempt to obtain, a loan for someone other than yourself. You are not
authorized or permitted to use the Site to obtain, or attempt to obtain, a loan to fund any illegal
activity. You must be the owner of the deposit account you designate for electronic transfers of
funds and have authority to direct that loan payments be made to us from such account. Your
designated account will be the account into which loan proceeds will be deposited and from which
loan payments will be made.
12. Termination of Registration. We may terminate this Agreement and your status as a borrower
member at any time if you committed fraud or made a misrepresentation in connection with your
registration on the Site or any application or request for a loan, performed any prohibited
activity, or otherwise failed to abide by the terms of this Agreement. In such event, we will have
all remedies authorized or permitted by this Agreement and applicable law. We may, in our sole
discretion, with or without cause and with or without notice, restrict your access to the Site.
13. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. THIS AGREEMENT IS FULLY SUBJECT TO ALL DISCLAIMERS AND
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF USE.
14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and us regarding
the subject matter of the Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications,
promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between us with respect to your
registration as a borrower member and your loan request.
15. Consent to Electronic Transactions and Disclosures. THIS AGREEMENT IS FULLY SUBJECT TO YOUR
CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS AND DISCLOSURES, WHICH CONSENT IS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF USE.
16. Notices. You agree that we can send you any and all notices and other communications related to
this Agreement, any loan requests you post or your status as a borrower member by sending an email
to your registered email address or posting the notice or communication on the Site, and notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been duly given and effective when we send it or post it on
the Site. You acknowledge that you have sole access to the registered email account and your area
on the Site and that communications from us may contain sensitive, confidential, and
collections-related communications. If your registered email address changes, you must notify us
immediately of the change by sending an email to xxxxxxx@Xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or calling 000-000-0000.
You also agree to update promptly your registered residence address and telephone number on the
Site if they change.
17. Miscellaneous. The parties acknowledge that there are no third party beneficiaries to this
Agreement. You may not assign, transfer, sublicense or otherwise delegate your rights or
obligations under this Agreement to another person without our prior written consent. Any such
assignment, transfer, sublicense or delegation in violation of this section 17 shall be null and
void. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any
principle of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction. Any waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be a waiver of any
other subsequent breach. Failure or delay by either party to enforce any term or condition of this
Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such term or condition. If at any time after the date of
this Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect,
but the illegality and unenforceability of such provision shall have no effect upon and shall not
impair the enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement. The headings in this Agreement
are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement in any
way.
18. Arbitration.
a. Either party to this Agreement, or WBK, may, at its sole election, require that the sole and
exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to
this section 18 (the “Arbitration Provision”), unless you opt out as provided in section 18(b)
below. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future
claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you),
on the one hand, and us and/or WBK (or persons claiming through or connected with us and/or WBK),
on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Note, the Site, and/or the
activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing, including
(except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of section 18(f) below) the validity
or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims
are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or
otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims
include matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or
otherwise. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible
interpretation that is enforceable.
b. You may opt out of this Arbitration Provision for all purposes by sending an arbitration opt out
notice to LendingClub Corporation, 000 X Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Loan
Processing Department, that is received at the specified address within 30 days of the date of your
electronic acceptance of the terms of this Agreement. The opt out notice must clearly state that
you are rejecting arbitration; identify the Agreement to which it applies by date; provide your
name, address, and social security number; and be signed by you. You may send the opt out notice in
any manner you see fit as long as it is received at the specified address within the specified
time. No other methods can be used to opt out of this Arbitration Provision. If the opt out notice
is sent on your behalf by a third party, such third party must include evidence of his or her
authority to submit the opt out notice on your behalf.
c. The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”) or JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the
arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator
selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any
countervailing law. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator
and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing
law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the
administrator apply.
d. If we (or WBK) elect arbitration, we (or WBK, as the case may be) shall pay all the
administrator’s filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). lf you elect
arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in
accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law
if contrary to the administrator’s rules. We (or WBK, as the case may be) shall pay the
administrator’s hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that
exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator’s rules
or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we (or WBK) pay them and we agree (or WBK
agrees) to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys’ fees, except as otherwise
provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory
rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.
e. Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, any party may appeal the award for
reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator
administrator. In the event of such an appeal, any opposing party may cross-appeal within 30 days
after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that
are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and
the administrator’s rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the
individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final
and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and may be
entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
f. We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate an individual Claim you may bring in Small Claims
Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. NO
ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE
ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS
REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to
the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for
or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration
unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all
parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of
the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (a)
determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any
Claim of anyone other than a named party; nor (b) make an award for the benefit of, or against,
anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority
to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this section 18(f), and any attempt to do so, whether by rule,
policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the
validity of this section 18(f) shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the
administrator or any arbitrator.
g. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and
shall be governed by and enforceable under the FAA. The arbitrator will apply substantive law
consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or
other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth
in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and
evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect
confidential information.
h. This Arbitration Provision shall survive (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or
amendments to this Agreement and the relationship of the parties and/or WBK; (ii) the bankruptcy or
insolvency of any party or other person; and (iii) any transfer of any loan or Note or any other
promissory note(s) which you owe, or any amounts owed on such loans or notes, to any other person
or entity. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than section 18(f) is deemed invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain
valid and in force. If an arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis,
and the limitations on such proceedings in section 18(f) are finally adjudicated pursuant to the
last sentence of section 18(f) to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event
shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards
beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR
JURY, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION
PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR
JURY UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY.
