“Agreement”) is entered into this 15th day of April, 2010, by and among SILICON VALLEY
BANK (“Bank”), and LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”).



Recitals




A. Bank and Borrower have entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement dated July 23, 2009 (as the same may from time to time be further amended,
modified, supplemented or restated, the “Loan Agreement”).




B. Bank has extended credit to Borrower for the purposes permitted in the Loan Agreement.



C. Borrower is currently in default of the Loan Agreement for failing to comply with the
Minimum Collateral Value Ratio set forth in Section 6.8(b) for the calendar quarter ended December
31, 2009 (the “Existing Event of Default”).



D. Borrower has requested that Bank waive the Existing Event of Default and consent to a Lien
(the “Wells Fargo Lien”) on a portion of the Clearing Account not to exceed One Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.



E. Bank has agreed to waive the Existing Event of Default and consent to the Wells Fargo Lien,
on the condition, among others, that Borrower enter into this Agreement, but only to the extent, in
accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties set forth below.



Agreement




Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to
be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:



1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the
meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.



2. Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to Bank to secure the payment and
performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to
Bank the Clearing Account. From and after the date of this Agreement, all references in the Loan
Agreement to “Collateral” shall be deemed to include the Clearing Account subject to the existing
rights of (i) the Investors to “Investor Collateral” (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement), (ii) Infinity Resources, LLC to the extent set forth in those certain Declarations of
Trust between Borrower and Infinity Resources, LLC dated April 14, 2010 and July 31, 2009 provided
that such Declarations of Trust shall not be amended without the prior
written consent of Bank, and (iii) only to the extent of Borrower’s ownership interest in the
Clearing Account. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file a UCC financing statement amendment
(the “UCC Amendment”) with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect such interest or
rights on the Collateral.



 


 









 





3. Consent. Subject to the terms of Section 9 below, Bank hereby consents to the Wells Fargo
Lien and agrees that the Wells Fargo Lien securing an amount not to exceed One Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) shall be considered a “Permitted Lien” and shall not, in and of
itself, constitute an “Event of Default” under Section 7.5 of the Loan Agreement.



4. Waiver of Existing Event of Default. Bank hereby waives the Existing Event of Default.
Bank’s agreement to waive the Existing Event of Default shall in no way obligate Bank to make any
other modifications to the Loan Agreement or to waive Borrower’s compliance with any other terms of
the Loan Documents, and shall not limit or impair Bank’s right to demand strict performance of all
other terms and covenants as of any date. The waiver set forth above shall not be deemed or
otherwise construed to constitute a waiver of any other provisions of the Loan Agreement in
connection with any other transaction.
