2.1 Contract for Servicing; Possession of Servicing Files.

From and after each Purchase Date and until the earlier of: (i) such date as all Loans become Liquidated Loans; or (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, below, Purchaser appoints and contracts with Servicer as an independent contractor, subject to the terms of this Agreement, for the servicing of the Loans. Such appointment is irrevocable, except in the instances described in Section 7.1 below. Purchaser is the owner of the Servicing Rights relating to each Loan serviced by Servicer hereunder; except that Servicing Rights shall not include the customer relationship with, or the right to market to, Borrower, which rights shall remain with Servicer.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Servicer shall have, as Purchaser’s independent contractor, all Servicing Rights associated with the Loans. Servicer shall establish and maintain a Servicing File with respect to each Loan in order to service such Loan pursuant to this Agreement, and such Servicing File is and shall be held in trust by Servicer on behalf of and for the benefit of Purchaser, as purchaser thereof. Each Loan Document and the contents of the Servicing File shall be vested in Purchaser, and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Loan prepared by or which come into the possession or control of Servicer shall immediately vest in Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by Servicer at the will of Purchaser in such custodial capacity only. Each Servicing File shall be maintained electronically and shall be appropriately identified or recorded to reflect the ownership of the related Loan by Purchaser. Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement, and Purchaser shall thereafter hold such Servicing File in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Loan proceeds, documents maintained by Servicer will be in digital format.

Servicer shall maintain the Servicing Files and the Loan Documents electronically, and such files and documents may be accessed through the Purchaser Online Account(s) or at the Servicer Physical Payment Address or such other physical location as designated by Servicer in writing; provided, however, that in no event shall such physical location be located outside the continental United States.

Record title to each Loan and the related Promissory Note shall remain in the name of Purchaser. Control and ownership of each Loan shall be established by an electronic record of such Loan that: (i) contains an identifiable and authoritative copy of the Loan Documents; (ii) identifies Purchaser as the purchaser of the Loan; (iii) is made available to Purchaser through the applicable Purchaser Online Account; (iv) is not altered to add or change the identification of Purchaser as purchaser of the Loan without the participation of Purchaser; and (v) is not revised except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or with the written consent of Purchaser, or unless required by Applicable Law. Servicer shall maintain such electronic record for each Loan as bailee and custodian on behalf of Purchaser at all times during the term of this Agreement.

2.2 Assignment and Delegation of Duties.

Servicer may assign or delegate any of its duties and obligations hereunder to any Subcontractors or Collection Agents; provided that, unless otherwise agreed to between Servicer and Purchaser, Servicer shall remain responsible for the performance of such duties and obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any such Subcontractor or Collection Agent in performing the same, and any such assignment or delegation will not relieve Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and obligations under this Agreement, and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.3 hereof.

2.3 Assistance and Cooperation of Purchaser.

If any actions of Purchaser are necessary or appropriate in connection with the servicing and administration of the Loans hereunder, then Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to perform such actions in a timely manner and to cooperate with and assist Servicer in connection with such actions; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and except as specified above, Servicer shall have the exclusive right to maintain and develop the customer relationship with, and the right to market to, any Borrower; and provided further that, so long as LendingClub (or an Affiliate or other designee of LendingClub) remains Servicer under this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any Person acting on behalf of Purchaser shall contact any Borrower without the prior written consent of Servicer, unless Purchaser or its designee (or an Affiliate thereof) is acting as a Collection Agent on behalf of Servicer.

ARTICLE III SERVICING OF LOANS

3.1    Servicer to Service.

Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer each Loan from and after the related Purchase Date in accordance with Applicable Law, the Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through the utilization of Subcontractors, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration as limited by the terms of this Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices.

(g) Processing final payments provided by Borrowers on the Loans.

Any material change made to the Accepted Servicing Practices involving the practices and procedures followed by Servicer shall be communicated to Purchaser in the same method and manner as such change is communicated to the public; provided, that if such material change only relates to a Loan Program for which Servicer does not in the ordinary course of business make public communications, Servicer shall notify Purchaser at least 10 Business Days prior to the making of such change.

Servicer may grant, permit or facilitate any Loan Modification for any Loan in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices and provided that such Loan Modification is, in Servicer’s reasonable determination, a practical way to obtain a reasonable recovery from such Loan. Servicer shall notify Purchaser through the applicable Purchaser Online Account of any Loan Modification granted, permitted or facilitated by Servicer. Servicer shall not charge any Borrower any fees not contemplated in the Loan Documents without giving effect to any Loan Modifications or other amendments or modifications directed by Servicer in accordance with this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Servicer shall comply with the commercially reasonable written instructions of Purchaser necessary to comply with any regulatory requirements applicable to, or agreed to by, Purchaser or any supervisory rules agreed to or imposed on Purchaser and delivered to Servicer from time to time with respect to the servicing of the Loans. It is understood by the Parties hereto that in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and Purchaser’s written instructions, Purchaser’s written instructions shall control; provided, however, that in the event that there is a conflict between Purchaser’s written instructions and any Applicable Law, the Accepted Servicing Practices, or the Loan Documents, Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such conflict, and in such case, the Applicable Law, the Accepted Servicing Practices or the Loan Documents shall control, in the foregoing order of priority, to resolve the conflict.

Servicer may, but is not required to, facilitate the sale and transfer of the Loan and the Loan Documents for such Charged Off Loan to a Charged Off Loan Purchaser (other than Charged Off Loans that are deemed non-conforming or ineligible for purchase by such Charged Off Loan Purchaser) and Servicer shall be relieved of its ongoing servicing and collection obligations hereunder, except with respect to causing any proceeds to be deposited into the applicable Purchaser Online Account pursuant to Sections 3.2(e) and (f).

In the event that Servicer receives any payments on any Loans directly from or on behalf of the Borrower or any payments at a Servicer Physical Payment Address, Servicer shall receive all such payments in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Purchaser, and shall cause to be deposited into the applicable Purchaser Online Account within six (6) Business Days (or four (4) Business Days for purposes of Loans purchased pursuant to the terms of Addendum No. 5 (Multi-Draw Line of Credit Loan Program), if applicable) of receipt by Servicer (but not by an agent of Servicer, Subcontractor or Collection Agent) all such payments described in this Section 3.2.

During the term of this Agreement, a Party (the “Recipient”) may receive or have access to certain information of the other Party (the “Discloser”) including, though not limited to, records, documents, proprietary information, technology, software, trade secrets, financial and business information, or data related to such other Party’s products (including the discovery, invention, research, improvement, development, manufacture, or sale thereof), processes, or general business operations (including sales, costs, profits, pricing methods, organization, employee or customer lists and process), whether oral, written, or communicated via electronic media or otherwise disclosed or made available to a Party or to which a Party is given access pursuant to this Agreement by the other Party, and any information obtained through access to any information assets or information systems (including computers, networks, voice mail, etc.), that, if not otherwise described above, is of such a nature that a reasonable person would believe to be confidential (together, “Confidential Information”). In addition to the foregoing, this Agreement shall also be deemed to be “Confidential Information.” Recipient shall protect the disclosed Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of the Confidential Information as Recipient uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a like nature. Recipient’s obligations shall only extend to (a) information that is marked as confidential at the time of disclosure, (b) information that is unmarked (e.g., orally, visually or tangibly disclosed) but which the Discloser informs the Recipient should be treated as confidential at the time of disclosure, or (c) information that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential. This Agreement imposes no obligation upon Recipient with respect to information that: (1) was in Recipient’s possession before receipt from Discloser as evidenced by its books and records prior to the receipt of such information; (2) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault of Recipient, or its employees, consultants, advisors, officers or directors or Affiliates; (3) is rightfully received by Recipient from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; (4) is disclosed by Discloser to a third party without a duty of confidentiality on the third party; (5) is independently developed by Recipient without reference to the Confidential Information; (6) is disclosed under operation of law (including in connection with a regulatory examination of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates); or (7) is disclosed by Recipient with Discloser’s prior written approval. In addition to the foregoing, Purchaser covenants that it will not use, in violation of any Applicable Law, any material non-public information that has been provided to it by Servicer in Purchaser’s decision to invest in any securities issued by Servicer, provided that the Loans shall not be considered securities for the purposes of this Section 3.3(a). Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its officers, directors, employees, trustees, members, partners, potential and existing financing sources (including, with respect to Purchaser, any potential or existing investor in, and Person acting as a trustee or service provider in connection with, asset-backed securities for which the Loans are included in the collateral or trust assets), advisors or representatives (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, insurers, rating agencies, consultants, bankers, financial advisors, custodian and backup servicer) (collectively, “Representatives”) who need to have access to such Confidential Information. Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 3.3(a) by any of its Representatives.

(b)    Additional Confidentiality and Security. In addition to its general obligation to comply with Applicable Law and the obligations of Section 3.3(a), the Parties shall also adhere to the following requirements regarding the confidentiality and security of Borrower Information and Loan Documents:

(i) Protection And Security Of Individual Borrower Information Under Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act.

(1) Each Party shall maintain at all times an Information Security Program.

(2) Each Party shall assess, manage, and control risks relating to the security and confidentiality of Borrower Information, and shall implement the standards relating to such risks in the manner set forth in the applicable provisions of the Privacy Requirements.

(3) Without limiting the scope of the above, each Party shall use at least the same physical and other security measures to protect all Borrower Information in such Party’s possession or control, as such Party uses for its own confidential and proprietary information.

(4) At Servicer’s reasonable request, Servicer may review and request details with respect to Purchaser’s Information Security Program.

(ii) Compliance With Privacy Requirements. The Parties shall comply with all applicable Privacy Requirements.

(iii) Unauthorized Access to Borrower Information. In the event Purchaser knows or reasonably believes that there has been any unauthorized access to Borrower Information in the possession or control of Purchaser that compromises (or threatens to compromise) the security, confidentiality or integrity of such Borrower Information, Purchaser shall take the following actions:

(1) promptly notify Servicer of such unauthorized access;

(2) identify to Servicer what specific Borrower Information may have been accessed, including (if applicable) the name and account number of each affected Borrower;

(3) take commercially reasonable steps to remedy the circumstances that permitted any such unauthorized access to occur and promptly notify Servicer of such steps;

(4) take commercially reasonable steps to prohibit further disclosure of Borrower Information and promptly notify Servicer of such steps;

(5) upon Servicer’s request, share with such other Party the results of any computer forensics analysis of any unauthorized access; and

(6) cooperate with Servicer as reasonably necessary to facilitate compliance with any Applicable Laws and regulations regarding unauthorized access of Borrower Information.

The Parties agree that any breach or threatened breach of this Section 3.3(b) of this Agreement could cause not only financial harm, but also irreparable harm to Servicer; and that money damages may not provide an adequate remedy for such harm. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 3.3(b) of this Agreement by Purchaser, Servicer shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, be entitled to (1) terminate this Agreement and any and all other agreements between Purchaser and Servicer immediately; (2) seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, an injunction (without the necessity of posting any bond or surety) to restrain such breach; and (3) pursue all other remedies Servicer may have at law or in equity.

Following the termination of this Agreement, each Party agrees that it will destroy all copies of Confidential Information of the other Party, without retaining any copies thereof, and destroy all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by it or for its use containing or reflecting any Confidential Information; provided, however, that each Party may retain such limited copies or materials containing Confidential Information of the other Party for customary document retention and audit purposes, as required by Applicable Law. Any Confidential Information retained pursuant to this provision shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement.

3.4 No Use of Non-Public Borrower Data.

In the course of purchasing and holding Loans, Purchaser may have access to certain information concerning Borrowers. Such information could include any and all items included in a Loan Document Package and all information included in a listing for an Eligible Loan (the “Borrower Data”). Certain of the Borrower Data is published in connection with an Eligible Loan, and other information, included in certain documents in the Loan Document Package, is not publicly disclosed and may constitute non-public personally identifiable information as defined by Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999 and implementing regulations (collectively, “Non-Public Borrower Data”). Purchaser will not utilize, and will not permit any Affiliate to utilize, Non-Public Borrower Data for any purpose not in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and will not contact any Borrower for any purpose.

Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a fidelity bond and “Errors and Omissions” insurance, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons under Servicer’s direct control and excluding any Subcontractors and Collection Agents, acting in any capacity requiring such Persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Loans (“Servicer Employees”). Any such fidelity bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance policy shall protect and insure Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. No provision of this Section 3.4 requiring such Errors and Omissions Insurance policy shall diminish or relieve Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

Servicer shall (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and Subcontractors) at all times and at its sole cost and expense, also keep in full force and effect until one (1) year after termination of this Agreement, (i) comprehensive general liability insurance policies providing coverage in an amount totaling at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (satisfied through any combination of primary and secondary policies and including any umbrella policy) and (ii) workers compensation insurance in compliance with Applicable Law. 

Unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser, all insurance policies will be with insurers rated a minimum of “A minus” by A.M. Best.

Upon the request of Purchaser, Servicer shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser a certificate of insurance evidencing such required coverages.

3.6    Bankruptcies.

In the event that a Borrower files any bankruptcy proceedings, Servicer may (but shall not be required to) represent Purchaser’s interest in any bankruptcy proceedings relating to the Borrower in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices.

(vi) Repurchase Obligation. Nothing in this Section 5.3 is intended to or shall limit the rights of Purchaser under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Purchase Agreement.

(b) Purchaser’s Indemnification. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Servicer and its Affiliates, trustees, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, representatives, stockholders and agents (each, an “Indemnified Servicer Party”) from and against any Losses incurred by Servicer in connection with this Agreement to the extent that such Losses arise out of, and are imposed upon any such Indemnified Servicer Party by reason of, (a) any material breach by Purchaser of Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.2 or 5.2 of this Agreement or (b) Purchaser’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

In the case of any claim for indemnity made pursuant to this Section 5.3(b), if Purchaser does not dispute the claim made by Servicer in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the related Servicer Claims Notice, Purchaser shall make payment of the applicable indemnification amount to Servicer within sixty (60) days of receipt of the related Servicer Claims Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligation to do any of the following:   (i) except for acts or omissions that constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser or its employees or agents, indemnify any Indemnified Servicer Party for any punitive damages or for any actual or lost profits of such Indemnified Servicer Party, regardless of whether Purchaser knew or was aware of such possible Losses, or (ii) indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnified Servicer Party from and against any Losses to the extent such Losses result from the negligence or willful misconduct of or breach of this Agreement by any Indemnified Servicer Party.

(c) Notice of Claims. Each Party against whom a claim for indemnity pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall have been made (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall have the right to defend the Person seeking such indemnity (each, an “Indemnified Party”) with counsel of such Indemnifying Party’s choice in respect of any third party claim, so long as (i) such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have provided written notice to the Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the related Claims Notice, indicating that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.3 and (iii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the third party claim or matter actively and diligently. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate co-counsel and participate in the defense of any such claim or matter; provided that any related attorneys’ fees shall not be indemnifiable Losses unless the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both defendants in the matter for which the indemnity is sought and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel representing the Parties an actual conflict of interest would arise in such counsel’s continued representation of both Parties. Knowledge by an Indemnified Party of any breach or non-compliance hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such Indemnified Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement unless such Indemnified Party shall have failed to notify the applicable Indemnifying Party of such breach or non-compliance in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Article V. No express or implied waiver by an Indemnified Party of any default hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any other default. The failure or delay of an Indemnified Party to exercise any of its rights granted hereunder regarding any default shall not constitute a waiver of any such right as to any other default, and any single or partial exercise of any particular right granted to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein.

Purchaser shall obtain Servicer’s prior written consent with respect to any different or additional descriptions, information or materials concerning or relating to Servicer and its products (including the Loans) in any such solicitation. Furthermore, Purchaser agrees that it shall provide written notice to Servicer of such transaction at least sixty (60) days prior to contacting any potential purchaser, assignee or transferee with respect to a proposed transaction.

In addition, this Agreement will automatically terminate if (A) Servicer shall make an offer or assignment or compromise for the benefit of its creditors, or (B) there shall be commenced by or against Servicer any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings and, in the case of an involuntary proceeding, either such proceedings remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days or any of the actions sought in such proceedings shall occur.

In each and every case that the Servicer Event of Default is continuing, in addition to whatsoever rights that Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, Purchaser may, by notice in writing to Servicer, terminate all the rights and obligations of Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans and in and to the servicing contract established hereby and the proceeds thereof, except as incurred prior to the effective date of such termination.

(viii) failure by Purchaser to duly observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants, obligations or agreements set forth in this Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of the date upon which Purchaser knew of such failure or its receipt of written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, from Servicer;

(ix) failure by Purchaser to satisfy its obligations to compensate Servicer for its servicing activities as set forth in this Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of the date upon which Purchaser knew of such failure or its receipt of written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, from Servicer;

(x) failure by Purchaser to maintain licenses, approvals, qualifications and authorizations to do business, to the extent required under Applicable Law, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of the date upon which Purchaser received written notice of such failure from any Regulatory Authority;

(xi) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority or Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against Purchaser and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days; or

(xii) Purchaser shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to Purchaser or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property.

Upon receipt by either Party of such written notice of termination, or upon automatic termination, all authority and power of Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the applicable Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in Purchaser or its designee, and all Servicing Rights with respect to Loans shall be immediately assigned, transferred and conveyed to Purchaser or its designee. Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to Purchaser (or its designee) any and all applicable documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all applicable Servicing Files, and, in a timely manner, do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer of the applicable Loans and related Loan Documents and servicing data. Servicer shall, in a timely manner, cooperate with Purchaser (or its designee) in effecting the termination of the servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of the servicing functions and the Servicing Files, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by Servicer to the applicable Purchaser Online Account(s) or thereafter received with respect to the applicable Loans. Servicer shall be entitled only to any applicable accrued and unpaid Servicing Compensation and Ancillary Fees through the effective date of such termination.

By a written notice, either Party may waive any default by the other in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.

7.2    Transfer to Purchaser.

Simultaneously with the termination of Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement simultaneously with the termination of Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans or (ii) appoint a successor to succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of Servicer under this Agreement simultaneously with the termination of Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans. In the event that Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the earlier of: (x) the effective date it receives notice from Purchaser that a successor servicer has assumed such duties and responsibilities; or (y) the date that is thirty (30) days following the date of notification of termination; with the same degree of diligence and prudence that it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor.

Within thirty (30) days of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1, Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to Purchaser or the successor entity and place in Purchaser’s or such successor’s possession all applicable Servicing Files, and, in a timely manner, do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer of the applicable Servicing Files and related documents.
