agreed to license to Folio certain software and technology that Folio will use to operate an

WHEREAS, Lending Club and Folio have entered into a Hosting Services Agreement whereby Lending
Club has agreed to host such Software for Folio’s exclusive use; and



WHEREAS, in connection with Folio’s Business, Lending Club has agreed to provide to Folio, for
the exclusive benefit of Folio, certain services, in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth herein;



NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein, and intending
to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:



ARTICLE I

SERVICES




SECTION 1.1 Provision of Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Lending Club shall provide to Folio the services as listed and described on Exhibit
A, or as otherwise described in this Agreement (collectively, the “Services”).



(a) Scope. The Services (i) shall include the services set forth in Exhibit
A, as amended from time to time, and (ii) shall be provided (A) in a manner and with reasonable
care consistent with the manner and reasonable care used by Lending Club in the conduct of its own
business, and (B) in a manner consistent with laws and regulations applicable to Lending Club and
Folio. Subject to the first sentence of this paragraph and Section 1.4, the parties may agree from
time to time that in addition to the existing Services, other services are necessary for the
conduct of Folio’s Business and subject further to the requirements of applicable law, statute,
order, rule, regulation, policy or guideline (“Applicable Law”) of any United States or
foreign government, any state or other political subdivision thereof, any entity exercising
executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to
government, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), or any
other authority, agency, department, board, commission or instrumentality of the United States, any
State of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any foreign jurisdiction, and
any court, tribunal or arbitrator(s), and any United States or foreign governmental or
non-governmental self-regulatory organization, agency or authority (including the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) (“SRO”), in each case, having competent jurisdiction
or authority (collectively, “Governmental Authority”). Such other services will be
included in the Services upon the written agreement of the parties.


 


 









 





(b) Review of Scope. If one of the parties wishes to conduct a review of, or make
changes to, the Services, that party shall request in writing that a services review meeting be
held within ten (10) business days, to discuss the provision of Services; provided that no changes
to the Services will be made without the prior written consent of all parties. For the avoidance
of doubt, Lending Club may choose to use different facilities, equipment, software programs, and
employees to provide the Services without the prior approval of Folio.



(c) Relationship of the Parties. Lending Club acknowledges that it is an independent
contractor. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed (i) to constitute the parties as
partners, joint venturers, co-owners or otherwise as participants in a joint or common undertaking
or (ii) to allow either party to create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other party. The
duties and responsibilities of the parties hereto shall be rendered by each as an independent
contractor and not as an agent for the other party. Folio acknowledges that, notwithstanding the
provision of the Services by Lending Club to Folio, Folio shall remain responsible to any relevant
Governmental Authority for the continued performance by Lending Club of the Services under this
Agreement.



(d) Regulatory Requirements relating to Services. Lending Club shall file an
undertaking with the Commission, in the form attached as Exhibit C to this Agreement,
within seven (7) days after execution of this Agreement, and provide a copy to Folio.



(e) Consideration to Folio. For each Note sold, Folio will charge the seller a
percentage of the proceeds received from such sale (“Transaction Fee”). Further, the
parties acknowledge that Lending Club has an interest in the establishment and successful operation
of Folio’s Business because of the shared customers of Lending Club and Folio. As such, Lending
Club shall pay to Folio no later than fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month during
the Term (as defined below) or any Renewed Term (as defined below) an amount equal to a flat fee
(as set forth below) minus the aggregate Transaction Fees received by Folio for the preceding
calendar month. Lending Club shall pay a flat fee of [*] dollars ($[*]) per month
for the Term of this Agreement, [*] dollars ($[*]) per month for the first Renewed Term of this
Agreement and [*] dollars ($[*]) per month for any subsequent Renewed Term. Further, for any
period for which Folio conducts Folio’s Business that is less than one calendar month, Lending Club
shall pay for that period of time only, a pro rata portion of the flat fee minus the aggregate
Transaction Fee received by Folio for the same period of time.



(f) Marketing. For the Term (as defined below), Lending Club shall showcase Folio
through the use of its corporate name or trademark, if any, in a manner mutually agreeable to the
parties on either Lending Club’s homepage or any homepage through which a lender member would
access the Lending Club website. In addition, the parties agree to facilitate the marketing
campaign calendar set forth in Exhibit D.


 


2









 





(g) Audit. Once during the Term (as defined below) and once during the Renewed Term
(as defined below), Folio shall have the right to conduct (or direct an agent to conduct) at
Lending Club’s expense not to exceed [*] dollars ($[*]) per audit, an audit of any
appropriate site, facility or performance documentation of Lending Club, as directly related to the
Services, and as may be reasonably necessary for compliance purposes under Applicable Law. Such
audits shall be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner so as not to cause Lending
Club to be in violation of any Applicable Law or contracts or other rights of third parties.
Lending Club shall provide to Folio or any auditor or attorney acting on Folio’s behalf with
respect to conducting an audit of the Services such assistance as they reasonably require,
including installing and operating audit software. With respect to any agreement between Folio and
any auditor or attorney acting on Folio’s behalf under this paragraph, Folio shall require such
auditor or attorney to maintain any confidential information created or received relating to
Lending Club in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement.



SECTION 1.2 No Employment Relationship. At all times during the performance of the
Services, all persons performing Services shall be in the employ and/or under the control of
Lending Club (including agents, contractors, temporary employees and consultants) and shall be
independent from Folio and shall not be considered to be employees of Folio or its affiliates and
shall not be entitled to any payment, benefit or perquisite directly from Folio or its affiliates
on account of the Services received. Lending Club agrees that no person acting as an employee of
Lending Club who performs Services under this Agreement may, at such time and in the exclusive
capacity as a Lending Club employee, make any representation regarding Folio, hold himself or
herself out as an agent or employee of Folio, bind, or attempt to bind, Folio or take any similar
action.



SECTION 1.3 No Conflicts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Lending Club shall not be required to provide or to cause to be provided Services hereunder that
conflict with any Applicable Law, contract, rule, regulation, order, license, authorization,
certification or permit.



SECTION 1.4 Limitation of Services. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by
Exhibit A, Lending Club shall not be obligated to (a) make modifications to its existing systems,
or (b) acquire additional assets, equipment, rights or properties (including computer equipment,
software, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, machinery, vehicles, tools or other tangible personal
property) or hire additional personnel in connection with this Agreement.



SECTION 1.5 Exclusivity. The parties acknowledge that Folio has developed an
alternative trading system for notes or securities and that it is constantly modifying that system.
The parties agree that Folio (or any affiliate of Folio) may, in its sole discretion, operate an
alternative trading system (or similar exchange or system) for the trading of notes or securities
by members, participants, subscribers (or persons of a similar nature) of an Internet-based social
lending platform (howsoever described) that directly or indirectly competes with Lending Club.

employees, agents or representatives to disclose, to any third party any non-public or proprietary
information received from or on behalf of Lending Club or about Lending Club (“Confidential
Information”). Confidential Information will include all information in tangible or intangible

it only in connection with its performance under this Agreement.



SECTION 4.2 Lending Club’s Confidentiality Obligation. For so long as this Agreement
remains in effect and for a period of ten (10) years after any expiration or termination of this
Agreement, Lending Club agrees that it and its directors, employees, consultants, agents,
representatives and advisors shall treat confidentially and will not disclose to any third party
any Confidential Information received from or on behalf of Folio or any of its affiliates, or use
such Confidential Information for any purpose other than providing the Services or for the

consent of Folio, except (a) portions of such information that are or become generally available to
the public other than as a result of disclosure by Lending Club in violation of this Agreement, (b)
portions of such information received on a non-confidential basis from a third party who, to such
recipient’s knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing the information pursuant to a

hereto.



SECTION 4.4 Permitted Disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of ARTICLE
IV, either party may disclose Confidential Information received from the other if:



(a) such information is disclosed, in compliance with Applicable Law, by the receiving party
to its advisors, representatives, agents and employees, acting in their capacity as such, who have
a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the performance of this Agreement;
provided, however, that such advisors, representatives, agents and employees shall
be required to agree to abide by the requirements of this ARTICLE IV and the receiving party shall
be liable to the other party for any breach of these requirements by its advisors, employees,
agents and representatives; or

(b) either party determines that it is required by Applicable Law to disclose information not
otherwise permitted to be disclosed pursuant hereto. In advance of any such disclosure (to the
extent legally permitted and reasonably practicable), the receiving party shall consult with the
other party regarding such disclosure and seek confidential treatment for such portions of the
disclosure as may be requested by the other party. Such receiving party shall have no liability
hereunder if, prior to the required disclosure, the receiving party receives a written opinion from
its counsel opining that such disclosure is required by law or regulation. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, either party shall be permitted to file a
copy of this Agreement with any Governmental Authority or securities regulatory body.



SECTION 4.5 Damages Not an Adequate Remedy. Without prejudice to any other rights or
remedies of a party, the parties acknowledge and agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy
for any breach of this ARTICLE IV and the remedies of prohibitory injunctions and other relief are
appropriate and may be sought for any threatened or actual breach of any provision of this ARTICLE
IV. No proof of special damages shall be necessary for the enforcement of any party’s rights under
this ARTICLE IV.

system for accountability regarding inputting of the Books and Records and inputting of any changes
made to every original and duplicate record.



10. Lending Club shall provide Folio with access to and the ability to download information from
Lending Club’s electronic storage media, maintained on behalf of Folio, to any medium permitted

(a) Lending Club hereby undertakes to furnish promptly to FOLIOfn Investments, Inc.
(“Folio”), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), its designees or
representatives, any self-regulatory organization of which Folio is a member, or any State
securities regulator having jurisdiction over Folio, upon reasonable request, such
information as is deemed necessary by Folio, the staffs of the Commission, any
self-regulatory organization of which Folio is a member, or any State securities regulator
having jurisdiction over Folio to download information kept on Lending Club’s electronic
storage media, maintained on behalf of Folio, to any medium acceptable under Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 17a-4.




(b) Furthermore, Lending Club hereby undertakes to take reasonable steps to provide
access to information contained on Lending Club’s electronic storage media, maintained on
behalf of Folio, including, as appropriate, arrangements for the downloading of any record
required to be maintained and preserved by Folio pursuant to Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in a format acceptable to the staffs of the Commission, any
self-regulatory organization of which Folio is a member, or any State securities regulator
having jurisdiction over Folio. Such arrangements will provide specifically that in the
event of a failure on the part of Folio to download the record into a readable format and
after reasonable notice to Lending Club acting on behalf of Folio, upon being provided with
the appropriate electronic storage medium, Lending Club will undertake to do so, as the
staffs of the Commission, any self-regulatory organization of which Folio is a member, or
any State securities regulator having jurisdiction over Folio may request.



11. All Folio files and records shall be maintained segregated, separate and apart from the files
and records of Lending Club.



Good Control Location for Purposes of Rule 15c3-3 under the Exchange Act 




1. Lending Club, as a “good control location” for Folio in compliance with Rule 15c3-3 under the
Exchange Act, will maintain records regarding the uncertificated Notes issued by Lending Club and
held by Folio Customers.


 


16









 





2. Lending Club shall ensure and warrant that the Notes held in each Folio Customer’s account are
not subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien, or claim of any kind in favor of Lending
Club or any person claiming through Lending Club.



3. As part of the Books and Records, Lending Club shall maintain separate records on behalf of
Folio that reflect all positions in the Notes in each Folio Customer’s account.



Trade Confirmations and Monthly Statements for Folio Customers




Lending Club shall provide trade confirmations and monthly account statements to Folio Customers
substantially in the form required by Folio. Such trade confirmations and monthly account
statements will be provided to each Folio Customer by electronic delivery.



Error Correction




On behalf of, and for the benefit of, Folio, Lending Club shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to assist Folio in correcting transaction errors by assigning an initial severity category to the
error in accordance with the description set out below (“Service Levels”):



	 	 	 	 	 
	Category	 	Definition	 	Target Action
	1-Critical

	 	Production use of any of the
Software is not possible and
no reasonable workaround
exists. Folio requires
resolution urgently due to
financial, legal, and public
risk.
	 	Initial response within two
hours of notice. Resource
assigned immediately
thereafter and remains
assigned until resolution.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	2-Severe

	 	Production use of any of the
Software is possible, but a
business function is
disabled and no reasonable
workaround exists. This
category also applies to
errors and problems that
severely impact the progress
of an implementation project
where no reasonable
workaround exists.
	 	Initial response within one
business day of notice.
Resource assigned within one
business day thereafter and
remains until resolution.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	3-Medium

	 	Production use of any of the
Software is possible, but a
workaround is unacceptable
for more than a short period
due to frequency of the
affected function’s usage
and the criticality of the
function. This category
also applies to errors and
problems that severely
impact implementation
projects where there is an
unacceptable long-term
workaround.
	 	Initial response within two
(2) business days of notice.
Resource assigned within
one (1) business day of
initial response. Target
resolution: 80% within 20
business days, the remainder
resolved within 60 business
days.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	4-Low

	 	All others. Production
and/or implementation is not
impacted severely for one of
the following reasons:
	 	Response and resolution as
time permits or indefinitely
postponed. Any resolutions
made available as part of
next scheduled Update.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	     A.   a reasonably acceptable
workaround exists;
	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	     B.   the error or problem is
resolved onsite;
	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	     C.   the error or problem is
not severe; or
	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	     D.   the extent of the error
or problem is limited.
	 	 





 


17









 





A new severity category to the error may be assigned, after research, if the initial description
was not accurate or after provision of a reasonable workaround if the provision of the workaround
lessens the severity of the error.



Email Reporting System




Lending Club shall maintain an email reporting system that permits Folio Customers to report Errors
and seek assistance with the use of any of the Software, and Folio shall monitor and respond to
such reports and requests for assistance in accordance with the Service Levels.



Scope




Lending Club shall provide the Services for the then-current version of the Software.

purposes of the Agreement.
