Dated as of January 25, 2013


 




  





  











  











This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 25, 2013 (“Effective Date”), is made by and among WEBBANK, a Utah-chartered industrial bank having its principal location in Salt Lake City, Utah (“Bank”), PROSPER MARKETPLACE, INC., a Delaware corporation, having its principal location in San Francisco, California (“PMI”), and PROSPER FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMI, also having its principal location in San Francisco, California (“PFL”).


 


WHEREAS, Bank and PMI are parties to a Second Amended and Restated Loan Account Program Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date (the “Loan Account Program Agreement”);


 


WHEREAS, Bank desires to sell to PMI, and PMI desires to purchase from Bank, the Loan Accounts established by Bank pursuant to the Loan Account Program Agreement;


 


WHEREAS, Bank and PMI previously entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Sale Agreement dated as of September 14, 2010 (the “Existing Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which PMI agreed to purchase certain loan accounts originated by Bank;


 


WHEREAS, PMI has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pursuant to which PMI issues and sells notes, the payments of which are tied to the payments made by borrowers on the loans PMI acquires under the Existing Sale Agreement;


 


WHEREAS, PMI wishes to provide its note purchasers with greater protection against the possibility of PMI becoming insolvent by having PFL, rather than PMI, acquire Loan Accounts from Bank and issue and sell the corresponding notes;


 


WHEREAS, PFL has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC, pursuant to which PFL will offer and sell notes, the payments of which will be tied to the payments made by borrowers on the loans acquired by PFL (the “New Public Offering”);  and


 


WHEREAS, the Parties therefore desire to amend and restate the Existing Sale Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the terms, conditions and mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:


 


1.             Definitions; Effectiveness.


 



	
  

	
(a)

	
The terms used in this Agreement shall be defined as set forth in Schedule 1; provided, however,  that any capitalized terms not defined in Schedule 1 shall have the respective meanings attributed to such terms under the Loan Account Program Agreement. The rules of construction set forth in Schedule 1 shall apply to this Agreement.







 



	
  

	
(b)

	
This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and, as of the Effective Date, shall supersede and replace the Existing Sale Agreement (except that, as provided in section 1(c), the Existing Sale Agreement will govern the purchase of Loan Accounts originated prior to the Effective Date).  This Agreement shall apply to all Loan Accounts originated by Bank during the term of this Agreement, beginning on the Effective Date.  Loans originated on or after the Effective Date shall not be subject to the Existing Sale Agreement.







 




  





  











  






 



	
  

	
(c)

	
All Loan Accounts originated by Bank prior to the Effective Date shall be governed by the terms of the Existing Sale Agreement as in effect at the time that such Loan Accounts were originated, and shall not be subject to the terms of this Agreement.







 



	
  

	
(d)

	
This Agreement shall not operate so as to render invalid or improper any action heretofore taken under the Existing Sale Agreement.







 


2.             Purchase of Loan Accounts; Payment to Bank; Reporting to Bank.


 



	
  

	
(a)

	
The terms of Schedule 2 shall apply as if fully set forth in this Agreement.







 



	
  

	
(b)

	
On each Closing Date, PMI shall purchase the Loan Accounts established by Bank that are identified on the Funding Statement received by Bank [*].   [*], PMI shall deposit a sum equal to the Funding Amount for that Funding Statement by wire transfer into the Control Account.  [*], in consideration of PMI’s purchase of the Loan Accounts [*], Bank may authorize the disbursement of such Funding Amount from the Control Account to Bank per the terms of the Control Account Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Control Account Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Bank direct or otherwise authorize the disbursement or other disposition of any funds from the Control Account to Bank or any other person or entity other than in accordance with the previous sentence.







 



	
  

	
(c)

	
[*], PMI shall pay Bank the Holding Period Interest Charge for all Loan Accounts purchased by PMI during the immediately preceding month.







 



	
  

	
(d)

	
To the extent that such materials are in Bank’s possession, upon PMI’s request, Bank agrees to cause to be delivered to PMI, at PMI’s cost, loan files on all Loan Accounts purchased by PMI pursuant to this Agreement within [*] of the related Closing Date.  Such loan files shall include the application for the Loan Account, the Loan Account Agreement, confirmation of delivery of the Loan Account Agreement to the Borrower, and such other materials as PMI may reasonably require (all of which may be in electronic form); provided that Bank may retain copies of such information as necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.







 



	
  

	
(e)

	
To secure all PMI’s obligations under this Agreement, PMI hereby grants Bank a security interest in all of PMI’s right, title and interest in and to the Control Account and all sums now or hereafter on deposit in or payable or withdrawable from the Control Account and the proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Control Account Collateral”), and agrees to take such steps as Bank may reasonably require to perfect or protect such first priority security interest.  PMI represents that, as of the date of this Agreement, the Control Account Collateral is not subject to any claim, lien, security interest or encumbrance (other than the interest of Bank).  PMI shall not allow any other Person to have any claim, lien, security interest, or encumbrance on the Control Account Collateral.  Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under Applicable Laws with respect to the Collateral and the funds therein or proceeds thereof, and shall be entitled to exercise those rights and remedies in its discretion.

Each Party agrees that Confidential Information of each other Party shall be used by such Party solely in the performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights pursuant to the Program Documents.  Except as required by Applicable Laws or legal process, no Party (the “Restricted Party”) shall disclose Confidential Information of any other Party to third parties; provided, however, that the Restricted Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party (i) to the Restricted Party’s Affiliates, agents, representatives or subcontractors for the sole purpose of fulfilling the Restricted Party’s obligations under this Agreement (as long as the Restricted Party exercises reasonable efforts to prohibit any further disclosure by its Affiliates, agents, representatives or subcontractors), provided that in all events, the Restricted Party shall be responsible for any breach of the confidentiality obligations hereunder by any of its Affiliates, agents (other than a Prosper Party as agent for Bank), representatives or subcontractors, (ii) to the Restricted Party’s auditors, accountants and other professional advisors, or to a Regulatory Authority, or (iii) to any other third party as mutually agreed by the Parties.

(1)

	
is generally available to the public;

9











  






 



	
  

	
(4)

	
becomes available to the Disclosing Party on a non-confidential basis from a Person, other than a Party to this Agreement, who is not known by the Disclosing Party after reasonable inquiry to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the non-Disclosing Party or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Disclosing Party.

Upon written request or upon the termination of this Agreement, each Party shall, within thirty (30) days, return to each other Party all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession that is in written form, including by way of example, but not limited to, reports, plans, and manuals; provided, however, that each Party may maintain in its possession all such Confidential Information of each other Party required to be maintained under Applicable Laws relating to the retention of records for the period of time required thereunder or stored on such Party’s network as part of standard back-up procedures (provided that such information shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Section 9).







 



	
  

	
(d)

	
In the event that a Restricted Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information of any other Party, the Restricted Party shall provide such other Party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the other Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive the Restricted Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.  In the event that the other Party does not seek such a protective order or other remedy, or such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the other Party grants a waiver hereunder, the Restricted Party may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the other Party which the Restricted Party is legally compelled to disclose and shall exercise such efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded any Confidential Information of the other Party so furnished as the Restricted Party would exercise in assuring the confidentiality of any of its own Confidential Information.







 



	
  

	
(e)

	
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, PFL agrees that PMI may use, retain and disclose all Confidential Information of PFL obtained by PMI without regard to the provisions of this Section 9.







 



	
  

	
(f)

	
The terms of this Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

10











  






 



	
  

	
(b)

	
To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify PMI, in writing, of any notice of the assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any third party of any legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, or if the Indemnified Party determines the existence of any such claim or the commencement by any third party of any such legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, whether or not the same shall have been asserted or initiated, in any case with respect to which PMI is or may be obligated to provide indemnification (an “Indemnifiable Claim”), specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss and, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the Loss; provided, that failure to promptly give such notice shall only limit the liability of PMI to the extent of the actual prejudice, if any, suffered by PMI as a result of such failure.  The Indemnified Party shall provide to PMI as promptly as practicable thereafter information and documentation reasonably requested by PMI to defend against the Indemnifiable Claim.







 



	
  

	
(c)

	
PMI shall have ten (10) days after receipt of any notification of an Indemnifiable Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to notify the Indemnified Party of PMI’s election to assume the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim and, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its own expense, to commence the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with PMI in connection therewith if such cooperation is so requested and the request is reasonable; provided that PMI shall hold the Indemnified Party harmless from all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation; provided, further, that if the Indemnifiable Claim relates to a matter before a Regulatory Authority, the Indemnified Party may elect, upon notice to PMI, to assume the defense of the Indemnifialbe Claim at the cost of and with the cooperation of PMI.  If PMI assumes responsibility for the settlement or defense of any such claim, (i) PMI shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate at the Indemnified Party’s expense in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided that, in the event that both PMI and the Indemnified Party are defendants in the proceeding and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably determined and notified PMI that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them, then the fees and expenses of one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in the aggregate shall be borne by PMI; and (ii) PMI shall not settle any Indemnifiable Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent.

(b)

	
Bank acknowledges and agrees that PFL and PMI are separate legal entities and that neither Prosper Party has guaranteed the performance by the other Prosper Party of its obligations hereunder.

(c)

	
The Prosper Parties shall written notice to the Bank of the Changeover Date at least ten (10) Business Days in advance thereof.

Each of Bank and PMI agrees that PFL shall be liable for any claims against PFL only to the extent that PFL has funds available to pay such claims at any time.  PFL agrees that Bank shall have recourse to the Control Account as permitted under the Control Account Agreement.  The terms of this Section 34 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.


 


35.           No Petition.  Each of Bank and PMI hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join or assist any other Person in instituting against, PFL any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction for one year and a day after all of the borrower payment dependent notes of PFL have been paid in full.

Litigation







On November 26, 2008, plaintiffs, Christian Hellum, William Barnwell and David Booth, individually and on behalf of all other plaintiffs similarly situated, filed a class action lawsuit against PMI and certain of its executive officers and directors in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, California.  The suit was brought on behalf of all persons who had purchased loan notes through PMI’s platform from January 1, 2006 through October 14, 2008.  The lawsuit alleges that PMI offered and sold unqualified and unregistered securities in violation of the California and federal securities laws.  The lawsuit seeks damages and the right of rescission against PMI and the other named defendants, as well as treble damages against PMI and the award of attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and costs, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.







On February 25, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint, which removed David Booth as a plaintiff and added Brian Russom and Michael Del Greco as plaintiffs.  The new plaintiffs are representing the same putative class and prosecuting the same claims as the previously named plaintiffs. On February 29, 2012, the court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. 







PMI’s insurance carrier with respect to the class action lawsuit, Greenwich Insurance Company (“Greenwich”), denied coverage.  On August 21, 2009, PMI filed suit against Greenwich in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, California.  The lawsuit sought a declaration that PMI was entitled to coverage under its policy with Greenwich for losses arising out of the class action lawsuit as well as damages and the award of attorneys’ fees and pre- and post-judgment interest.







On January 26, 2011, the court issued a final statement of decision finding that Greenwich has a duty to defend the class action lawsuit, and requiring that Greenwich pay PMI’s past and future defense costs in the class action suit up to $2 million.  Greenwich subsequently made payments to PMI in the amount of $2 million to reimburse PMI for the defense costs it had incurred in the class action suit.  As a result, Greenwich has now satisfied its obligations with respect to PMI’s defense costs for the Hellum suit, with the exception of $142,584 in pre-judgment interest that Greenwich will be required to pay to PMI when a final judgment has been entered in the suit and all appeals have been exhausted.







On July 1, 2011, PMI and Greenwich entered into a Stipulated Order of Judgment pursuant to which PMI agreed to dismiss its remaining claims against Greenwich.  On August 12, 2011, Greenwich filed a notice of appeal of the court’s decision regarding Greenwich’s duty to defend up to $2 million. On July 16, 2012, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s decision.
