Exhibit 10.4




LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT




     THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of the Effective Date by and
among the GOLD HILL LENDERS referenced on Exhibit A attached hereto (as modified from time
to time in accordance with Section 12.1 of this Agreement, the “Lenders”); GOLD HILL VENTURE
LENDING 03, LP (“Gold Hill”) in its capacity as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders,
SILICON VALLEY BANK, in its capacity as Collection Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and LENDINGCLUB
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Lenders shall lend to
Borrower and Borrower shall repay Lenders. The parties agree as follows:



Recitals.




     A. Borrower is engaged in the business of purchasing, servicing and selling loans made by
WebBank to consumers (“Consumer Loans”). Upon the making of a Consumer Loan, Borrower purchases
such Consumer Loans pursuant to the Consumer Loan Servicing Documents. Borrower then sells to
certain consumer lenders (“Consumer Lenders”) and such Consumer Lenders purchase individual
promissory notes evidencing their interest in such Consumer Loan.



     B. Borrower has requested that Lenders extend credit to Borrower to finance certain Consumer
Loans, and Lenders have so agreed, but only to the extent, in accordance with the terms, subject to
the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.



     1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS



     Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP.
Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms
contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the
Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.



     2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT



     2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lenders the outstanding
principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due
in accordance with this Agreement.



     2.1.1 Loan Facility.



          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders agree, severally and not
jointly, to make advances to Borrower, from time to time, prior to the Commitment Termination Date
(each an “Advance” and collectively the “Advances”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Loan
Commitment according to each Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan Commitment (based upon the
respective Commitment Percentage of each Lender).
Each Advance must be in an amount of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) not




 









 







exceeding the amount that has not yet been drawn under the Loan Commitment; provided, however, that
no Advance shall be in an amount in excess of the Advance Rate multiplied by the aggregate original
principal amount of the Eligible Loans which are financed by such Advance. After repayment, no
Advance may be reborrowed. Lenders’ obligation to lend hereunder shall terminate on the earlier of
(i) a Lender’s election on the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) the
Commitment Termination Date. When Lenders makes an Advance, Borrower shall cause WebBank to
execute and deliver a listing of the notes payable to Borrower in the amount of the portion of the
Eligible Loan being financed by such Advance (the “Financed Loan Note”) and each such Financed Loan
Note will be stored electronically in the Borrower’s lending account and electronically endorsed by
WebBank to Borrower. The portion of the Eligible Loan being financed by the Advance and evidenced
by the Financed Loan Note shall become a “Financed Loan”. Borrower shall immediately
electronically endorse the Financed Loan Note or Financed Loan Notes to Administrative Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and to each Lender, using the Standard Assignment Forms.




          (b) Borrowing Procedure. To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Administrative
Agent by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time five (5) Business Days prior to the
Funding Date of the Advance. If such notification is by telephone, Borrower must promptly confirm
the notification by delivering to Administrative Agent an Advance Form in the form attached as
Exhibit C (a “Payment Advance Form”). On the Funding Date, each Lender shall credit and/or
transfer (as applicable) to Borrower’s deposit account, an amount equal to its Commitment
Percentage multiplied by the amount of the Advance. Each Lender may make Advances under this
Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without
instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due.




     2.2 Termination of Commitment to Lend. Each Lender’s obligation to lend the undisbursed
portion of the Obligations shall terminate if, in such Lender’s sole discretion, there has been a
Material Adverse Change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition
(financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any
material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to
and accepted by Administrative Agent prior to the execution of this Agreement.



     2.3 Repayment of Credit Extensions.



          (a) Principal and Interest Payments. Commencing on the first (1st) day of
the first (1st) month after the Funding Date, Borrower shall make equal monthly payments of
principal and interest, each in an amount sufficient to fully amortize the amount of each
outstanding Advance during the Repayment Period. Notwithstanding the forgoing, all unpaid
principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. An
Advance may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6.




          (b) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(c), the principal amount outstanding for
each Advance shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate often percent (10%), which interest
shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.3 (a) above.




2









 








          (c) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five (5) percentage
points above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Payment or
acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(c) is not a permitted
alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or
otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lenders.




          (d) 360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed.




          (e) Debit of Accounts. Collection Agent may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts,
including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts
Borrower owes Lenders when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.




          (f) Payments. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the first
(1st) calendar day of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m.
Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a
payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and
additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue.




     2.4 Permitted Prepayment of Advances. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of each Advance
advanced by Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (a) delivers written notice to Lenders
of its election to prepay such Advance or Advances at least thirty (30) days prior to such
prepayment, and (b) pays, on the date of such prepayment (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued
and unpaid interest for such Advance or Advances, (ii) the Final Payment for such Advance or
Advances, and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable for such Advance
or Advances, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.



     2.5 Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Advances are accelerated following the
occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders an amount
equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest, (ii) the Final Payment
plus (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at
the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.



     2.6 Mandatory Prepayment Upon Prepayment of Eligible Loans. If any portion of a Financed Loan
(a) is repaid or (b) becomes categorized as a Charge-off (as defined in Section 13.1 below),
Borrower shall immediately pay to Collection Agent, for the benefit of Lenders an amount equal to
such repaid or Charged-off portion of the Financed Loan.



     2.7 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Collection Agent, on behalf of Lenders:



          (a) Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000), on the Effective Date




3









 








          (b) Final Payment. On the earliest of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the termination of
the Loan Commitment or (iii) the prepayment of the Advances, Borrower shall
pay, in addition to the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other
amounts due on such date, an amount equal to the Final Payment.




          (c) Lenders’ and Agents’ Expenses. All Lender Expenses and Agent Expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, plus expenses for documentation and negotiation of this
Agreement, incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.




     2.8 Additional Costs. If any law or regulation increases any Lender’s costs or reduces its
income for any loan, Borrower shall pay the increase in cost or reduction in income or additional
expense; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for any amount attributable to any
period before one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date Administrative Agent notifies
Borrower of such increased costs. Lenders agree that they shall allocate any increased costs among
their customers similarly affected in good faith and in a manner consistent with Lenders’ customary
practice.

     4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST



          (a) Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders,
and to each Lender, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations a
continuing security interest in, and pledges to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders, and to each Lender, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter

return premiums and insurance proceeds under insurance with respect to any Pledged CD, and all
rights to payment with respect to any cause of action affecting or relating to the Pledged CD); and



               (iii) all renewals, replacements and substitutions of items of any Pledged CD.



     If this Agreement is terminated, Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ Liens in the Collateral
shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full
in cash. The parties to this Agreement do not intend that Borrower’s delivery of



6









 







any Pledged CD to
Administrative Agent as herein provided will constitute an advance payment
of any Obligations or liquidated damages, nor do the parties intend that any Pledged CD
increase the dollar amount of the Obligations.



     4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative
Agent to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions

good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and
licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its
business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do
so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In
connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent a completed
certificate signed by Borrower, entitled “Perfection Certificate”. Borrower represents and
warrants to Administrative Agent and each Lender that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that

item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and

Agent’s and Lenders’ Lien in such assets shall be released without any further act of
Administrative Agent, Lenders or Borrower. Administrative Agent shall take all actions reasonably
requested by Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, to evidence such release.

     5.5 No Material Deviation in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for
Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Lenders fairly present in all material respects
Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations.
There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since
the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Lenders.



     5.6 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus
disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with
unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay
its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.



     5.7 Regulatory Compliance.



          (a) Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important
activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve
Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor
Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an
“affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is
defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any
laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or
assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by
previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous
substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents,
approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to,
all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as
currently conducted.




          (b) In originating and/or servicing each Eligible Loan, Borrower has complied in all material
respects with all applicable federal, state and local laws, including without limitation,
securities, usury, truth-in-lending, equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting, licensing or
other similar laws. Borrower has made commercially reasonable efforts to authenticate the identity
of each Loan Debtor and to verify information provided by the Loan Debtor in connection with each
Eligible Loan. Based on such authentication and verification, Borrower represents and warrants to
the best of its knowledge that (i) each Loan Debtor had full legal capacity to execute and deliver
all loan documents evidencing the Eligible Loan made to such Loan Debtor and (ii) each loan
document evidencing each Eligible Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the applicable
Loan Debtor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms.




     5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other
equity securities except for Permitted Investments.



     5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required
tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes,
assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower. Borrower may defer



9









 







payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its
obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and
conducted, (b) notifies Lenders in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in,
the proceedings, (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the Governmental
Authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is
other than a “Permitted Lien”. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any
of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by
Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and
deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from
participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the
occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to
result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.



     5.10 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely to
finance Consumer Loans assigned to Borrower in the ordinary course of business of WebBank and
Borrower, and not for working capital purposes or for personal, family, household or agricultural
purposes.



     5.11 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in
any certificate or written statement given to Administrative Agent or any Lender, as of the date
such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written
certificates and written statements given to Administrative Agent or any Lender, contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by
Lenders that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon
reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods
covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

     6.1 Government Compliance.



          (a) Maintain its and all its Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in their

business or operations. Borrower shall comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with (a) all Bank
Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering laws, regulations and requirements imposed by the Office of
Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and (b) all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject,
noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer, with aged listings of
Eligible Loans and an accounting of the balance of the Loan Management Account together with a
breakdown of the amounts in which each Consumer Lender and the Lenders have an interest.




          (c) Within thirty (30) days after the last day of each month, deliver to Administrative Agent
with the monthly financial statements, a duly completed Compliance Certificate signed by a
Responsible Officer.




          (d) Allow Administrative Agent to audit Borrower’s Collateral at Borrower’s expense. Such

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

signed loan documents evidencing Eligible Loans, including without limitation the Financed Loan
Notes, and assignments of such Eligible Loans by WebBank to Borrower.




     6.3 Taxes; Pensions. Make, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to make, timely payment of all
foreign, federal, state, and local taxes or assessments (other than taxes and assessments which

Administrative Agent, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments, and pay all
amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in
accordance with their terms.



     6.4 Insurance. Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard
for companies in Borrower’s industry and location and as Lenders and Administrative Agent may
reasonably request. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are
satisfactory to Administrative Agent. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable
endorsement showing the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, as an
additional lender loss payee and waive subrogation against the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, and all liability policies shall show each Lender, or have endorsements showing, each
Lender as an additional insured. All policies (or the loss payable and additional insured
endorsements) shall provide that the insurer shall endeavor to give the Administrative Agent on
behalf of Lenders at least thirty (30) days notice before canceling, amending, or declining to
renew its policy. At the Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies
of policies and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any policy shall, at
Administrative Agent’s option, be payable to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders on account
of the Obligations. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.4 or to
pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Lenders, Lenders may
make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.4,
and take any action under the policies Lenders and Administrative Agent deem prudent.



     6.5 Operating Accounts.



          (a) Maintain all of its primary operating and investment accounts with SVB and SVB’s
Affiliates. All consumer accounts for the Borrower’s lending platform account shall be managed
through the Loan Management Account which shall be free of any Liens, security interests and
encumbrances other than Permitted Liens.




          (b) In addition, for each Collateral Account that Borrower at any time maintains, Borrower
shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution (other than SVB) at or with which any
Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate
instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Administrative Agents’ Liens, for the
ratable benefit of each Lender, in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder.
The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to (i) deposit accounts exclusively used
for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of
Borrower’s employees and identified to Administrative Agent by Borrower as such or (ii) the Loan
Management Account.




12









 








     6.6 Protection of Intellectual Property Rights. Borrower shall: (a) protect, defend and
maintain the validity and enforceability of its intellectual property; (b) promptly advise Lenders
in writing of material infringements of its intellectual property; and (c) not allow any
intellectual property material to Borrower’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to
the public without Lenders’ written consent.



     6.7 Litigation Cooperation. From the date hereof and continuing through the termination of
this Agreement, make available to Lender and Administrative Agent, without expense to Lenders or
Administrative Agent, Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower’s books and
records, to the extent that Lenders or Administrative Agent may deem them reasonably necessary to
prosecute or defend any third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against Lenders or
Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower.



     6.8 Value of Pledged CD. Maintain the Value of the Pledged CD in an amount equal to or
greater than the Minimum Collateral Value.



          (a) Right to Invest. Grant to each Lender or its Affiliates a right (but not an obligation)
to purchase an aggregate amount of up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in Borrower’s
Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and pricing offered to its investors (the
“Subsequent Financing Investment”). Borrower shall give Lenders and Administrative Agent at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice of the Subsequent Financing containing the terms, conditions
and pricing of the Subsequent Financing delivered to each Lender’s address set forth in Section 10
hereof. The right granted hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.




     6.9 Loan Management Account; Collections. Borrower shall have the right to collect all
payments and other amounts received in connection with Eligible Loans. Upon receipt by Borrower of
any such payments and amounts, Borrower shall immediately (a) deposit such payments and amounts
into the Loan Management Account, and (b) deliver to Administrative Agent a detailed breakdown of
such payments and amounts showing the interests of each lender in such payments and amounts. Upon
receipt by Borrower of any payments and other amounts received in connection with a Financed Loan,
Borrower shall immediately deposit such payments and amounts into the Designated Deposit Account.



     6.10 Control of Financed Loans. Borrower shall create and store a single authoritative copy
of each Financed Loan Note which authoritative copy shall (a) identify Borrower as the assignee of
such note or notes, and (b) be unique, identifiable and unalterable except to the extent that (i)
copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of such authoritative copy can only
be made with the participation of Borrower, (ii) each copy of the authoritative copy is readily
identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy, and (iii) any revision of the
authoritative copy is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.



     6.11 Further Assurances. Borrower shall execute any further instruments and take further
action as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests to perfect or continue



13









 







Administrative Agent’s Liens, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, in the Collateral, or to
effect the purposes of this Agreement.

from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any
other event with respect to, any present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plan
which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability
to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.



     7.11 Possession of Loan Documents. Borrower shall maintain possession of all electronic loan

Administrative Agent in writing.



     8 EVENTS OF DEFAULT



     Any one of the following shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under
this Agreement:



     8.1 Payment Default. Borrower fails to (a) make any payment of principal or interest on any
Credit Extension on its due date, or (b) pay any other Obligations within three (3) Business Days
after such Obligations are due and payable (which three (3) day grace period shall not apply to
payments due on the Maturity Date). During the cure period, the failure to cure the payment
default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period);



     8.2 Covenant Default.



          (a) Borrower fails or neglects to perform any obligation in Section 6 or violates any covenant
in Section 7; or




          (b) Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other term, provision,
condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Loan Documents, or in any other
present or future agreement between Borrower and any Lender and as to any default (other than those
specified in this Section 8) under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement
that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within ten (10) days after the occurrence
thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10)
day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period,
and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an
additional period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such
default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the default shall not be deemed
an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during such cure period). Grace
periods provided under this section shall not apply, among other things, to financial covenants or
any other covenants set forth in subsection (a) above;




     8.3 Material Adverse Change. A Material Adverse Change occurs;



     8.4 Attachment. (a) The Loan Management Account or any material portion of Borrower’s assets

16









 




Subsidiary) on deposit
with Lenders and/or Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of
Administrative Agent; (c) Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or prevented by court order from
conducting any part of its business; or (d) a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against
any of Borrower’s assets by any government agency, and the same under clauses (a) through (d)
hereof are not, within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof, discharged or stayed (whether

Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45)
days (but no Credit Extensions shall be made while of any of the conditions described in clause (a)
exist and/or until any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);



     8.6 Other Agreements. There is a default in any agreement to which Borrower is a party with a
third party or parties resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not
exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000) or that could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business;



     8.7 Judgments. One or more judgments, orders, or decrees for the payment of money in an
amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (not covered
by independent third-party insurance as to which liability has been accepted by such insurance
carrier) shall be rendered against Borrower and shall remain unsatisfied, unvacated, or unstayed
for a period often (10) days after the entry thereof (provided that no Credit Extensions will be
made prior to the satisfaction, vacation, or stay of such judgment, order, or decree);



     8.8 Misrepresentations. Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any representation,
warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing
delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Lenders or to induce Administrative Agent and/or Lenders
to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement
is incorrect in any material respect when made;



     8.9 Subordinated Debt. A default or breach occurs under any agreement between Borrower and
any creditor of Borrower that signed a subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement
with Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, or any creditor that has signed such an agreement with
Administrative Agent and/or Lenders breaches any terms of such agreement; or



     8.10 Governmental Approvals. Any Governmental Approval held by Borrower on the Effective Date
or thereafter shall have been (a) revoked, rescinded, suspended, modified in an adverse manner or
not renewed in the ordinary course for a full term or (b) subject to any decision by a Governmental
Authority that designates a hearing with respect to any applications for renewal of any such
Governmental Approval or that could result in the Governmental Authority taking any of the actions
described in clause (a) above, and such decision or such revocation, rescission, suspension,
modification or non-renewal (i) has, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse
Change, or (ii) adversely affects the legal qualifications of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
to hold such Governmental Approval in any applicable



17









 




jurisdiction and such revocation, rescission,
suspension, modification or non-renewal could
reasonably be expected to affect the status of or legal qualifications of Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries to hold any Governmental Approval in any other jurisdiction.




     8.11 Cross-Default with SVB Loan Agreement. An Event of Default occurs under the SVB Loan
Agreement.



     8.12 Cross-Default with Consumer Loan Servicing Documents. An Event of Default occurs under
the Consumer Loan Servicing Documents or the Consumer Loan Servicing Documents are terminated for
any reason.



     9 LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES



     9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Administrative Agent
may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:



          (a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described
in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by
Administrative Agent and/or Lenders);




          (b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or
under any other agreement between Borrower and Administrative Agent and/or Lenders;




          (c) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms
and in any order that Administrative Agent considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower
money of Administrative Agents’ security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such
account. Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Administrative Agent for the benefit of
Lenders and, if requested by Administrative Agent, immediately deliver the payments to Lenders in
the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsement for deposit;




          (d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the
Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral
if Administrative Agent requests and make it available as Administrative Agent designates.
Administrative Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain
possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which
appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower
grants Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders a license to enter and occupy any of its
premises, without charge, to exercise any of Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies;




          (e) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any
amount held by Administrative Agent or Lenders owing to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower;




          (f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for
sale, and sell the Collateral. Administrative Agent is hereby granted a non-




18









 







exclusive,
royalty-free license or other right to use without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights,
mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks,
service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the
Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights
under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Administrative Agent for benefit of
Lenders;




          (g) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Administrative Agent and/or deliver a notice
of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any
Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;




          (h) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and




          (i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law
or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral
pursuant to the terms thereof).




     9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its
lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any (i) checks or other forms of payment or security,
including without limitation, forms of payment received in connection with Financed Loans and (ii)
notes or other negotiable instruments issued or assigned to Borrower in connection with Financed
Loans, including without limitation, the Financed Loan Notes; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any
invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust
disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms
Administrative Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under
Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security
interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise
take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name
of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower
hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any
documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest in the
Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been
satisfied in full and Administrative Agent and Lenders are under no further obligation to make
Credit Extensions hereunder. Administrative Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney
in fact, and all of Administrative Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are
irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lenders’ and
Administrative Agent’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.



     9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.4
or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to
pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may
obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Administrative Agent on
behalf of Lenders are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then
highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral.



19









 




Administrative Agent will make reasonable
efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Lenders obtaining such insurance at the time it is
obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No
payments by Administrative Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the
future or Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default.




     9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order
or the accounts to which Collection Agent shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made
by Borrower to Collection Agent on behalf of the Lenders or otherwise received by Collection Agent
on behalf of Lenders under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified
elsewhere in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collection
Agent may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments,
proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the
Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Collection Agent shall determine in
its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled
thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Collection Agent and Lenders for any deficiency. If
Collection Agent and/or Lenders, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters
into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral,
Collection Agent and/or Lenders shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing
the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the
Obligations until the actual receipt by Collection Agent of cash therefor.



     9.5 Agent Expenses. Any amounts paid by Administrative Agent or Collection Agent as provided
herein are Agent Expenses and are immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the then
applicable rate and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Administrative Agent or
Collection Agent shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or a waiver of
any Event of Default.



     9.6 Agents’ Liability for Collateral. So long as Agents and Lenders comply with reasonable
banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral, Agents and Lenders shall not be
liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the
Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any
carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or
destruction of the Collateral.



     9.7 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Agents’ and/or Lenders’ failure, at any time or times, to
require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Agents or Lenders thereafter to demand
strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective
unless signed by each Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for
which it is given. Agents’ and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents are cumulative. Agents and Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the
Code, by law, or in equity. Agents’ and/or Lenders’ exercise of one right or remedy is not an
election, and Agents’ and/or Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.
Agents’ and/or Lenders’ delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.



20









 





     9.8 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment
and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel
paper, and guarantees held by any Agent or any Lender on which Borrower is liable.

     11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE



     California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
Borrower, Lenders and Agents each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal
courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to operate to preclude Lenders or Agents from bringing suit or



21









 




taking other legal action
in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations,
or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Agents or Lenders.
Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit
commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon
lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the
granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby
waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit
and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or
certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and
that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual
receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.




     TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, AGENTS, AND LENDERS EACH WAIVE
THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS
AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF
DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.



     WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT
TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the
parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising
at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties
(or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior
Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to
comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the
federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby
submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to
and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1,
inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief,
including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and
permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public
and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the
course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been
appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to
the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the
private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules
of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which
shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery
applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all
discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court
judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to
decide all issues in the



22









 




action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a
statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing
in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies,
foreclose against collateral,
or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to
the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
