Exhibit 10.1

Loan
Agreement

The following terms, together with your loan request on the Site, as defined herein, constitute a
binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and WebBank, a Utah-chartered industrial bank
(“WBK,” “we,” or “us”). BY ELECTRONICALLY SIGNING THE AGREEMENT, YOU HAVE SIGNIFIED YOUR AGREEMENT
TO THESE TERMS. Under this Agreement, you agree to receive and repay one or more installment loans
from us, through the website lending platform at www.Lendingclub.com, including any subdomains
thereof (the “Site”) operated by LendingClub Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“LendingClub”).
These terms affect your rights and you should read them carefully and print a copy for your
records. Your agreement to these terms means you agree to borrow and repay the money if your loan
is funded under the terms of this Agreement, consent to our privacy policy, agree to transact with
us electronically, and agree to have any dispute with us resolved by binding arbitration.

1. Loan Terms. Your loan will have a principal balance between $1,000 and $25,000 in the specific
amount and on the terms set forth in the disclosures provided to you (see the disclosures at
http://www.lendingclub.com/account/truthInLending.action). All loans are closed-end loans with a
three (3)-year term. Please see the disclosures provided to you in connection with registering your
loan request on the Site for additional details. Your obligations, including your obligation to
repay principal and interest, are set forth in this Agreement and in the Note or Notes that you
will make to us, as described in section 3 below.

2. Credit Decisions. Your loan request must include your annual income and such other information
as we may obtain through the Site. We will consider public assistance, alimony, child support, or
separate maintenance income as income if you choose to include such sources of income in your
application and such income is likely to continue. We reserve the right to verify any information
you submit by requiring you to produce appropriate documentation or other proof, and also reserve
the right to conduct such verification through a third party. You hereby authorize us to request
and obtain data from a third party to verify any information you provide to us in connection with
your loan request. We may terminate consideration of your application at any time in our sole
discretion.

3. Loan Funding and Closing. You may post a loan request on the Site, and LendingClub investors
(“Investors”) will be able to review your loan request. Investors may commit funds to purchase, in
various amounts, Member Payment Dependent Notes (“MPDNs”) that LendingClub may issue to Investors
who commit funds for your loan request. You acknowledge that an Investor’s commitment

 

 

to purchase a MPDN corresponding to all or a portion of your loan from us does not confer any
rights to you. You understand that individual Investors make their own decisions whether to commit
funds for your loan. LendingClub may also choose to commit funds for all or part of your loan
request but is not obligated to do so. If, within 14 days following the posting of your loan
request, the aggregate amount of funding commitments through the Site fulfills your loan request
(or such lesser amount as you choose to accept), your loan will close unless you notify us in
writing of your election to terminate your loan request sufficiently far in advance of loan closing
for us to cancel the loan. Full or partial funding of your loan request might be available before
the expiration of the 14-day period set forth above. In no event shall we be obligated to notify
you of the date upon which your loan may or will fund.

If we extend a loan to you, you agree to execute by power of attorney as described below, and be
bound by the terms set forth in, the form of promissory note attached as Exhibit A (the
“Note”) as to your loan. You agree to execute multiple Notes if we request you do so, provided that
the aggregate principal amounts of such Notes shall equal the total amount of your loan.
LendingClub will execute your Note(s) on your behalf pursuant to a power of attorney you grant to
LendingClub when registering your loan request. You authorize us to disburse the loan proceeds by
Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transfer to your designated account. Following our disbursement of
the loan proceeds to you, we will assign the Note(s) and your loan to LendingClub.

BY COMPLETING YOUR APPLICATION AND SUBMITTING YOUR LOAN REQUEST, YOU ARE COMMITTING TO OBTAIN A
LOAN FROM US IN THE AMOUNT AND ON THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THE DISCLOSURES PROVIDED TO YOU IN
CONNECTION WITH YOUR REQUEST, SHOULD YOUR REQUEST BE FUNDED. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO RESCIND THE LOAN
ONCE MADE BUT YOU MAY PREPAY THE LOAN AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PENALTY. We will not lend you any funds
unless and until sufficient commitments are received from Investors and/or LendingClub.

4. Making Your Loan Payments. You authorize us and our successors and assigns to debit your
designated account by ACH transfer for the amount of each payment due on each due date. You may
elect to make payments by personal check by contacting support@lendingclub.com or by regular mail
at LendingClub Corporation, 440 N Wolfe Road, Sunnyvale, California 94085, Attention: Loan
Processing Department. If you elect to make payments by check, you acknowledge and agree that there
will be a $15 check processing fee per payment, subject to applicable law. If you elect to make
payments by check, you must send the check either (i) by regular mail to Lending Club Corporation,
Dept #34268, P.O. Box 39000, San Francisco, CA 94139, or (ii) by overnight mail or UPS delivery to
Wells Fargo Lock Box Services, Dept #34268, 3440 Walnut Ave, Window H, Fremont, CA 94538. This

 

 

authorization does not affect your obligation to pay when due all amounts payable on your loan,
whether or not there are sufficient funds therefore in such accounts. The foregoing authorization
is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights of setoff we may have. With regard to
payments made by automatic withdrawal, you have the right to stop payment of automatic withdrawals
or revoke your prior authorization for automatic withdrawals by notifying your financial
institution at least three (3) banking days before the scheduled date of transfer. You must notify
us of the exercise of your right to stop a payment or revoke your authorization for automatic
withdrawals at least three (3) banking days before the scheduled date of transfer. All payments are
to be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due (excluding principal
and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal;
provided, however, that after an Event of Default (as defined below), payments will be applied to
your obligations as we determine in our sole discretion.

5. Other Borrower Obligations. You agree that you will not, in connection with your loan request:
(i) make any false, misleading or deceptive statements or omissions of fact in your listing; (ii)
misrepresent your identity, or describe, present or portray yourself as a person other than
yourself; (iii) give to or receive from, or offer or agree to give to or receive from any
LendingClub member or other person any fee, bonus, additional interest, kickback or thing of value
of any kind except in accordance with the terms of your loan; (iv) represent yourself to any
person, as a representative, employee, or agent of ours, or purport to speak to any person on our
behalf; or (v) provide, in your loan request or in communications on the Site related to your loan
request, information upon which a discriminatory lending decision may be made, such as your race,
color, religion, national origin, sex, or age. You acknowledge and agree that we may rely without
independent verification on the accuracy, authenticity, and completeness of all information you
provide to us. You certify that the proceeds of the loan will not be used for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any securities or to fund any illegal activity.

6. Fees. A non-refundable origination fee paid by you to LendingClub as provided under your
agreement with LendingClub will be deducted from your loan proceeds, so the loan proceeds delivered
to you will be less than the full amount of your loan request. You acknowledge that the origination
fee will be considered part of the principal on your loan and is subject to the accrual of
interest. You agree to pay a fee of $15, if ACH transfers or checks are returned or fail due to
insufficient funds in your account or for any other reason. Each attempt to collect a payment is
considered a separate transaction, so an unsuccessful payment fee will be assessed for each failed
attempt. The bank that holds your designated account may assess its own fee in addition to the fee
we assess. If any payment is more than 15 days late, we may charge a late fee in an amount equal to
the greater of 5% of the outstanding principal and interest or $15. If a payment is more than 30
days late, we shall

 

 

charge such late fee. We will charge only one late fee on each late payment. These fees may be
collected using ACH transfers initiated by us from your designated account. Any such late fee
assessed is immediately due and payable. Any payment received after 6:00 P.M., Salt Lake City time,
on a banking day is deemed received on the next succeeding banking day.

7. Default and Termination. You will be deemed in default on your loan (each, an “Event of
Default”) if you: (1) fail to pay timely any amount due on your loan; (2) file or have instituted
against you any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or make any assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (3) die; (4) commit fraud or make any material misrepresentation in this Agreement, the
Note, or any other documents, applications or related materials delivered to us in connection with
your loan; or (5) fail to abide by the terms of this Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, we may exercise all remedies available to us under
applicable law, this Agreement, and the Note, including without limitation (1) demand that you
immediately pay all amounts owed on your loan and (2) terminate this Agreement. Any loans you
obtain prior to the effective date of termination resulting from listings you placed on the Site
shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

8. Collection & Reporting of Delinquent Loans. We reserve the right to report loan payment
delinquencies at or in excess of 30 days to one or more consumer reporting agencies in accordance
with applicable law. You agree to pay all costs of collecting any delinquent payments, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, as permitted by applicable law.

9. Assignment of Your Loan. Following the closing of your loan you hereby agree that we may,
without notice to you, (i) assign all of our right, title and interest in this Agreement to
LendingClub; and (ii) assign your Note(s) to LendingClub.

10. NO GUARANTEE. WE DO NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE (1) THAT YOUR LOAN REQUEST WILL BE FUNDED, OR (2)
THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE A LOAN AS A RESULT OF POSTING A REQUEST.

11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any Note represents the entire agreement between you and
us regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications,
promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between us with respect to your loan
request and loan. The WBK Privacy Notice attached as Exhibit B is incorporated by reference into
this Agreement.

 

 

12. Consent to Electronic Transactions and Disclosures. THIS AGREEMENT IS FULLY SUBJECT TO YOUR
CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS AND DISCLOSURES, WHICH CONSENT IS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF USE
FOR THE SITE.

13. Notices. All notices and other communications to you hereunder may be given by email to your
registered email address or posted on the Site, and shall be deemed to have been duly given and
effective upon transmission. You acknowledge that you have sole access to such email account and
your area on the Site and that communications from us may contain sensitive, confidential, and
collections-related communications. If your registered email address changes, you must notify
LendingCLub of the change by sending an email to support@Lendingclub.com or calling 866-754-4094.
You also agree to update your registered residence address and telephone number on the Site if they
change.

14. NO WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES TO YOU, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

15. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
FURTHERMORE, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY TO YOU REGARDING THE EFFECT THAT THE AGREEMENT
MAY HAVE UPON YOUR FOREIGN, FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX LIABILITY.

16. Miscellaneous. The parties acknowledge that there are no third party beneficiaries to this
Agreement. You may not assign, transfer, sublicense or otherwise delegate your rights or
obligations under this Agreement to another person without our prior written consent. Any such
assignment, transfer, sublicense or delegation in violation of this section 16 shall be null and
void. We are located in the state of Utah and this Agreement and the Note will be entered into in
the state of Utah. The provisions of this Agreement will be governed by federal laws and the laws
of the state of Utah to the extent not preempted, without regard to any principle of conflicts of
laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any waiver
of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be a waiver of any other subsequent breach.
Failure or delay by either party to enforce any term or condition of this Agreement will not
constitute a waiver of such term or condition. If at any time after the date of this Agreement, any
of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect, but the illegality
and unenforceability of such provision shall have no effect upon

 

 

and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement. The headings in
this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the interpretation of this
Agreement in any way.

17. Arbitration.

a. Either party to this Agreement, or LendingClub, may, at its sole election, require that the sole
and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant
to this section 17 (the “Arbitration Provision”), unless you opt out as provided in section 17(b)
below. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future
claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you),
on the one hand, and us and/or LendingClub (or persons claiming through or connected with us and/or
LendingClub), on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Note, the Site,
and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing,
including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of section 17(f) below) the
validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire
Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort
(intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or
otherwise. Claims include matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims,
third-party claims, or otherwise. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the
broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.

b. You may opt out of this Arbitration Provision for all purposes by sending an arbitration opt
out notice to LendingClub Corporation, 440 N Wolfe Road, Sunnyvale, California 94085, Attention:
Loan Processing Department, that is received at the specified address within 30 days of the date of
your electronic acceptance of the terms of this Agreement. The opt out notice must clearly state
that you are rejecting arbitration; identify the Agreement to which it applies by date; provide
your name, address, and social security number; and be signed by you. You may send the opt out
notice in any manner you see fit as long as it is received at the specified address within the
specified time. No other methods can be used to opt out of this Arbitration Provision. If the opt
out notice is sent on your behalf by a third party, such third party must include evidence of his
or her authority to submit the opt out notice on your behalf.

c. The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”) or JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the
arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator
selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any
countervailing law. In the case of a

 

 

conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this
Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the
arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply.

d. If we (or LendingClub) elect arbitration, we (or LendingClub, as the case may be) shall pay all
the administrator’s filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). lf you elect
arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in
accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law
if contrary to the administrator’s rules. We (or LendingClub, as the case may be) shall pay the
administrator’s hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that
exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator’s rules
or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we (or LendingClub) pay them and we agree
(or LendingClub agrees) to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys’ fees,
except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these
fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein.

e. Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, any party may appeal the award for
reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator
administrator. In the event of such an appeal, any opposing party may cross-appeal within 30 days
after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award
that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision
and the administrator’s rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by
the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be
final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and may
be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

f. We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate an individual Claim you may bring in Small Claims
Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. NO
ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE
ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS
REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to
the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for
or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration
unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all
parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine

 

 

the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in
arbitration, and shall not (a) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than
a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party; nor (b) make an award for
the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall
have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this section 17(f), and any
attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and
unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this section 17(f) shall be determined exclusively
by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.

g. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and
shall be governed by and enforceable under the FAA. The arbitrator will apply substantive law
consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or
other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth
in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and
evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect
confidential information.

h. This Arbitration Provision shall survive (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or
amendments to this Agreement and the relationship of the parties and/or LendingClub; (ii) the
bankruptcy or insolvency of any party or other person; and (iii) any transfer of any loan or Note
or any other promissory note(s) which you owe, or any amounts owed on such loans or notes, to any
other person or entity. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than section 17(f) is
deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall
nevertheless remain valid and in force. If an arbitration is brought on a class, representative,
or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in section 17(f) are finally
adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of section 17(f) to be unenforceable, then no arbitration
shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine
Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR
JURY, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION
PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS
IN A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY.

 

 

Exhibit A

NON-NEGOTIABLE PROMISSORY NOTE

Borrower name and address:                                                                                  (not visible to investors)

$                    

                    , 200_

For value received, I (“Borrower”) promise to pay to the order of WebBank or any subsequent holder
(“you” or “Lenders”) of this Promissory Note (the “Note”) the principal sum of                                         
($                    ) Dollars with interest as set forth below. I intend to be legally bound by this Note. I
have read, understood, and agreed to all of the terms of this Note.

Interest. This Note bears interest during each calendar month from the date hereof until
paid, at a fixed rate of                      (%) annual percentage rate. Interest is calculated on a monthly
basis upon the unpaid balance with each date representing 1/12th of a year.

Payments. Principal and interest is to be paid during and throughout the period of
thirty-six (36) months in the following manner:

Payments of principal and interest in the amount of                                          ($                    ) Dollars are to
be
made by the Borrower to the Lender commencing                     , 200_, and on the same day of each
successive month thereafter until                     , 200___, when the full amount of unpaid principal,
together with unpaid accrued interest is due and payable. If the monthly anniversary is on the
29th, 30th, or 31st of the month, and the following month does not have a 29th, 30th, or 31st day,
the monthly payment will be due on the last day of the month in which the payment was due. The last
payment might be of a slightly different amount to adjust for rounding.

All payments on this Note are to be made in immediately available lawful money of the United
States. Borrower authorizes Lender to debit Borrower’s designated account by Automated Clearing
House (“ACH”) transfer for the amount of each payment due on each due date. Borrower may elect to
make payments by personal check by contacting support@lendingclub.com or by regular mail at
LendingClub Corporation, 440 N Wolfe Road, Sunnyvale, California 94085, Attention: Loan Processing
Department. If Borrower elects to make payments by check, borrower acknowledges and agrees that
there will be a $15 check processing fee per payment, subject to applicable law. This authorization

 

 

does not affect Borrower’s obligations to pay when due all amounts payable under this Note, whether
or not there are sufficient funds therefore in such accounts. The foregoing authorization is in
addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights of setoff Lender may have. With regard to
payments made by automatic withdrawal, Borrower has the right to stop payment of automatic
withdrawals or revoke Borrower’s prior authorization for automatic withdrawals by notifying
Borrower’s financial institution at least three (3) banking days before the scheduled date of
transfer. Borrower will notify Lender of the exercise of Borrower’s right to stop a payment or
revoke Borrower’s authorization for automatic withdrawals at least three (3) banking days before
the scheduled date of transfer. All payments are to be applied first to the payment of all fees,
expenses and other amounts due to Lender (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued
interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that after an
Event of Default (as defined below), payments will be applied to Borrower’s obligations as Lender
determines in its sole discretion.

Fees and Charges. A non-refundable origination fee paid by Borrower to LendingClub
Corporation, in the amount and on the terms set forth in Borrower’s agreement with LendingClub
Corporation, will be deducted from Borrower’s loan proceeds, so the loan proceeds delivered to
Borrower will be less than the full amount of Borrower’s loan request. Borrower acknowledges that
the origination fee will be considered part of the principal of Borrower’s loan and is subject to
the accrual of interest. Borrower agrees to pay a fee of $15 if ACH transfers or checks are
returned or fail due to insufficient funds in Borrower’s account or for any other reason. Borrower
acknowledges that the bank that holds Borrower’s designated account may charge a fee in addition to
this fee. Each attempt to collect a payment is considered a separate transaction, so an
unsuccessful payment fee will be assessed for each failed attempt. If Borrower’s payment is more
than 15 days late, Lender may charge a late fee in an amount the greater of 5% of the outstanding
payment or $15. If Borrower’s payment is more than 30 days late, Lender shall charge such late fee.
These fees may be collected using ACH transfers initiated by us from Borrower’s designated account.
Any such late fee assessed is immediately due and payable. Any payment received after 6:00 P.M.,
Salt Lake City time, on a banking day is deemed received on the next succeeding banking day.

Prepayments and Partial Payments. Borrower may make any payment early, in whole or in
part, without penalty or premium at any time. Any partial prepayment is to be applied against the
principal amount outstanding and does not postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly
installments, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing. If Borrower prepays this Note in part,
Borrower agrees to continue to make regularly scheduled payments until all amounts due under this
Note are paid. Lender may accept late payments or partial payments, even though marked “paid in
full”, without losing any rights under this Note.

 

 

Use of Funds. Borrower certifies that the proceeds of the loan will not be used for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any securities or to fund any illegal activity.

Default. Borrower will be deemed in default (each, an “Event of Default”) of Borrower’s
obligations under this Note if Borrower: (i) fails to pay timely any amount due under this Note;
(ii) files or has instituted against Borrower any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or makes any
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) dies; (iv) commits fraud or makes any material
misrepresentation in this Note; or (v) fails to abide by the terms of this Note.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise all remedies available to it under
applicable law, including demand upon Borrower to immediately pay all amounts due under this Note.
Lender reserves the right to report loan payment delinquencies of 30 days or longer to one or more
consumer reporting agencies in accordance with applicable law. Borrower agrees to pay all costs of
collecting any delinquent payments, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as permitted by
applicable law.

Miscellaneous.

This Note is not negotiable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may assign this Note, including
without limitation to LendingClub Corporation, without notice to Borrower. Borrower may not assign
this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. This Note inures to the successors,
permitted assigns, heirs and representatives of Borrower and Lender.

Borrower hereby waives demand, notice of non-payment, protest, and all other notices or demands
whatsoever, and hereby consents that without notice to and without releasing the liability of any
party, the obligations evidenced by this Note may from time to time, in whole or part, be renewed,
extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, settled or released by Lender.

Any changes to this Note must be in writing signed by Borrower and Lender. Notices will be mailed
electronically to the addresses provided.

Controlling Law. We are located in the State of Utah and this Note has been executed and
delivered in the State of Utah and is deemed a contract made under such state’s law. The provisions
of this Note will be governed by federal laws and the laws of the State of Utah to the extent not
preempted, without regard to any principle of conflicts of law. The unenforceability of any
provision of this Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision of
this Note.

NEW YORK, RHODE ISLAND and VERMONT RESIDENTS: Borrower understands and
agrees that Lender may obtain a consumer credit report in connection with this application and in
connection with any update, renewals for extension of any credit as a result of this application.
If Borrower asks, Borrower will be informed whether or not such a report was obtained, and if so,
the name and address of the agency that furnished the report. Borrower also understands and agrees
that Lender may obtain a consumer credit report in connection with the review or collection of any
loan made to Borrower as a result of this application or for other legitimate purposes related to
such loans.

OHIO RESIDENTS ONLY: The Ohio laws against discrimination require that all creditors make
credit equally available to all credit-worthy customers, and that credit reporting agencies
maintain separate credit histories on each individual upon request. The Ohio Civil Rights
Commission administers compliance with the law.

WISCONSIN RESIDENTS ONLY: For married Wisconsin residents, Borrower’s signature confirms
that this loan obligation is being incurred in the interest of Borrower’s marriage or family. No
provision of any marital property agreement (pre-marital agreement), unilateral statement under §
766.59 of the Wisconsin statutes or court decree under § 766.70 adversely affects Lender’s interest
unless, prior to the time that the loan is approved, Lender is furnished with a copy of the marital
property agreement, statement, or decree or have actual knowledge of the adverse provision. If this
loan for which Borrower is applying is granted, Borrower will notify Lender if Borrower has a
spouse who needs to receive notification that credit has been extended to Borrower.

the personal information we receive about you.

Our Privacy Policy:

It is our policy that we do not disclose nonpublic personal information about our customers, except
as provided by law.

Nonpublic personal information is nonpublic information about you that we obtain in connection with
providing a financial product or service to you. In particular, we do not provide account or
personal information to nonaffiliated companies for independent telemarketing or direct mail
marketing of any products or services of those companies.

How we collect Information:

Information about consumers is accumulated in various ways. Customers provide some themselves on
applications, or other forms. WBK develops other data as part of providing a product or service to
a customer. Still other information is obtained from outside sources such as consumer reporting
agencies.

Confidentiality:

We will limit the use and collection of information about our customers to that which is necessary
to conduct our business. We use information to protect and administer your records, accounts and
funds; to comply with certain laws and regulations; to help us design or improve our products and
services; and to understand your financial needs so that we can provide you with quality products
and superior service.

We do not reveal specific information about your accounts or other personally identifiable data to
parties outside our bank and companies for their independent use unless:

	•	 	You request or authorize it and we approve it;
	 
	•	 	The information is provided to help complete a transaction initiated by you;
	 
	•	 	The information is provided to LendingClub;

 

 

	•	 	The information is provided to a reputable credit bureau or similar information reporting
agency; or
	 
	•	 	The disclosure is lawfully permitted or required.

Limits on Employee Access:

At WBK, employee access to personally identifiable customer information is limited to those with a
business reason to know such information. Employees are educated on the importance of maintaining
the confidentiality of customer information and on these Privacy Principles. All WBK employees are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of customer information.

Security:

We safeguard personal and financial information according to established standards and procedures.
All of our operational and data processing systems are in a secure environment that protects your
account information from being accessed by third parties. Our employees are trained to understand
and comply with these information principles.

Information about former customers:

We maintain the same policy about disclosing information about former customers as we do about
current customers.

Complete and Accurate Information:

We continually strive to maintain complete and accurate information about you and your accounts.
Should you ever believe that our records contain inaccurate or incomplete information about you,
please notify us. We will investigate your concerns and correct any inaccuracies.

Future changes:

We reserve the right to change the procedures and other provisions in this disclosure at any
anytime. If we do, we will notify you of those changes.

If you have questions:

WBK recognizes and respects the privacy expectations of our customers. We want our customers to
understand our commitment to privacy in our use of customer information. As a result of our
commitment, we have developed this Privacy Notice, which is available to our customers.exv10w2

Exhibit 10.2

Borrower
Membership Agreement

The following terms constitute a binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and LendingClub
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“LendingClub,” “we,” or “us”). BY ELECTRONICALLY SIGNING THE
AGREEMENT, YOU HAVE SIGNIFIED YOUR AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS. Under this Agreement, you agree to
apply for one or more installment loans from our designated lender, WebBank, a Utah-chartered
industrial bank (“WBK”), through the web site lending platform at www.Lendingclub.com, including
any subdomains thereof (the “Site”), operated by us. These terms affect your rights and you should
read them carefully and print a copy for your records. Your agreement to these terms means you
agree to borrow and repay the money if any of your loans are funded, consent to our privacy policy,
agree to transact with us electronically, and agree to have any dispute with us resolved by binding
arbitration.

1. Registration as a Borrower Member. You are applying to register with us as a borrower member on
the Site. Registration as a borrower member lets you post qualifying loan requests on the Site and
obliges you to accept any resulting loans that satisfy such requests, subject to your right to
cancel your loan request before closing as set forth in section 3 below. Registration on the Site
as a borrower member is restricted to individuals who satisfy WBK’s credit policy. Under WBK’s
credit policy as of July 1, 2009, your Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) score must be greater than
660 and you must meet other credit criteria in order for you to be eligible to apply for a loan. If
for any reason you do not qualify or you later cease to qualify for a loan from WBK, if, for
example, your FICO score from any consumer reporting agency falls below 660, we or WBK may
terminate your loan request and deny your ability to make additional loan requests. Even if your
FICO score is higher than 660, we or WBK may nevertheless terminate your registration or loan
request based on WBK’s other credit criteria such as debt-to-income ratio or other information in
your credit report.

2. Account Verification. You authorize us to initiate a debit entry to your bank account in an
amount of $0.01 to $0.99 for account verification purposes through the ACH network. We will reverse
this debit following verification and no funds will be removed from your account. You understand
that if we are unable to verify your bank account for any reason, we will cancel your application
and your loan request will not be posted on the Site.

 

 

3. Loan Requests. To the extent you become and remain a registered borrower member, you may post a
qualifying loan request on the Site in the amount of $1,000 to $25,000. You may not post more than
one loan request on the site at a time and you may not have more than two loans outstanding at
any given time. Your loan request must include all information required by us and WBK. Any
qualifying loan requests you post may remain as an active listing on the Site for up to 14 days.
If your loan request attracts enough funding offers in accordance with your agreement with WBK,
then your loan will close unless you notify us in writing of your election to terminate your loan
request sufficiently far in advance of loan closing for us to direct WBK to cancel the loan and for
WBK to cancel the transfer of the loan proceeds to your designated account. Full or partial funding
of your loan request may be available before the expiration of the 14-day period set forth above
but in no event shall we be obligated to notify you of the date upon which your loan may or will
fund. Funding of any loans you receive will proceed as described in your Loan Agreement with WBK.

4. Limited Power of Attorney. As a condition to registering as a borrower member on the Site, you
hereby grant us a limited power of attorney and appoint us and/or our designees as your true and
lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, for you and
in your name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to complete and execute one or more
promissory notes in the form appended to your Loan Agreement with WBK (each, a “Note”) representing
in the aggregate the total principal amount you accept, and the terms, of each loan made to you by
WBK in accordance with the disclosures made to you about such loan (see the disclosures at
http://www.lendingclub.com/account/truthInLending.action), with the full power and authority to do
and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with such
power as fully to all intents and purposes as you might or could do in person (“Power of
Attorney”). This Power of Attorney is limited solely to the purpose described above and will expire
automatically upon the earlier of (i) the execution of the Notes by us on your behalf or (ii) the
termination or expiration of your loan request posted on the Site. You may revoke the Power of
Attorney at any time before the funds representing your loan proceeds are transferred to your
designated account and the Notes are executed on your behalf by contacting us in accordance with
section 7, Communications. Once the Notes have been signed by LendingClub acting as your
attorney-in-fact, however, they are deemed executed on your behalf and the executed Notes shall be
your valid and binding obligations thereafter. If you choose to revoke the Power of Attorney prior
to execution of Notes, we will be unable to proceed with processing your loan request and your
pending loan requests will be considered withdrawn, and your registration as a borrower member on
the Site will be

 

 

terminated. In such event, we will remove any loan requests you have posted on the
Site and you may be prohibited from posting additional qualifying loan requests in the future in
our discretion.

5. Origination Fee. If your loan request results in a loan, you must pay us a non-refundable
origination fee. The amount of the fee is stated in the disclosures provided to you (see the
disclosures at http://www.lendingclub.com/account/truthInLending.action). This fee will be deducted
from
your loan proceeds, so the loan proceeds delivered to you will be less than the full amount of your
loan request. You acknowledge that the origination fee will be considered part of the principal on
your loan and is subject to the accrual of interest.

6. Loan Servicing; Check Processing Fee. You acknowledge and agree that LendingClub shall serve as
the loan servicer for any and all loans you receive but that LendingClub may delegate servicing to
another entity. LendingClub will maintain all Notes representing your loans in electronic form and
shall make all such Notes available to you for review on the Site. As loan servicer, LendingClub
will administer and collect on your loans. You may elect to make payments by personal check by
contacting support@lendingclub.com or by regular mail at LendingClub Corporation, 440 N Wolfe Road,
Sunnyvale, California 94085, Attention: Loan Processing Department. If you elect to make payments
by check, you acknowledge and agree that there will be a $15 check processing fee per payment,
subject to applicable law. If you elect to make payments by check, you must send the check either
(i) by regular mail to Lending Club Corporation, Dept #34268, P.O. Box 39000, San Francisco, CA
94139, or (ii) by overnight mail or UPS delivery to Wells Fargo Lock Box Services, Dept #34268,
3440 Walnut Ave, Window H, Fremont, CA 94538.

7. Communications. You agree not to communicate with the investors who purchase Member Payment
Dependent Notes (“MPDNs”) corresponding to your loans except anonymously and publicly through
posting on the Site. For a detailed description of the MPDNs, please refer to the Prospectus
available at [link to Prospectus]. Subject to section 18, you will send any inquiries, requests
for deferment or forbearance, or other communications regarding your loans by email to
support@lendingclub.com or by regular mail to LendingClub Corporation, 440 N Wolfe Road, Sunnyvale,
California 94085, Attention: Loan Processing Department.

8. Other Borrower Obligations. You agree that you will not, in connection with your loan request:
(i) make any false, misleading or deceptive statements or omissions of fact in your listing,
including but not limited to in the loan title, or in your loan description; (ii) misrepresent your
identity, or describe, present or portray yourself as a person other than yourself; (iii) give to
or receive from, or offer or

 

 

agree to give to or receive from any LendingClub member or other
person any fee, bonus, additional interest, kickback or thing of value of any kind except in
accordance with the terms of your loan; (iv) represent yourself to any person, as a representative,
employee, or agent of ours, or purport to speak to any person on our behalf; or (v) provide, in
your loan request or in communications on the Site related to your loan request, information upon
which a discriminatory lending decision may be made, such as your race, color, religion, national
origin, sex, or age. You
acknowledge and agree that we may rely without independent verification on the accuracy,
authenticity, and completeness of all information you provide to us.

9. Verification. We reserve the right to verify the accuracy of all information you provide and to
terminate this Agreement and remove your loan request in case of any inaccuracy or omission in your
loan request or your application, or any other violation of this Agreement. We reserve the right to
verify any information you submit through the production of appropriate documentation, and also
reserve the right to conduct such verification through a third party. You hereby authorize us to
request and obtain data from a third party to verify any information you provide us in connection
with your registration as a borrower member on the Site.

10. NO GUARANTEE. WE DO NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE (1) THAT YOUR REQUEST WILL BE FUNDED, OR (2) THAT
YOU WILL RECEIVE A LOAN AS A RESULT OF POSTING A REQUEST.

11. Restrictions on Use of Proceeds; Bank Account. You are not authorized or permitted to use the
Site to obtain, or attempt to obtain, a loan for someone other than yourself. You are not
authorized or permitted to use the Site to obtain, or attempt to obtain, a loan to fund any illegal
activity. You must be the owner of the deposit account you designate for electronic transfers of
funds and have authority to direct that loan payments be made to us from such account. Your
designated account will be the account into which loan proceeds will be deposited and from which
loan payments will be made.

12. Termination of Registration. We may terminate this Agreement and your status as a borrower
member at any time if you committed fraud or made a misrepresentation in connection with your
registration on the Site or any application or request for a loan, performed any prohibited
activity, or otherwise failed to abide by the terms of this Agreement. In such event, we will have
all remedies authorized or permitted by this Agreement and applicable law. We may, in our sole
discretion, with or without cause and with or without notice, restrict your access to the Site.

 

 

13. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. THIS AGREEMENT IS FULLY SUBJECT TO ALL DISCLAIMERS AND
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF USE.

14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and us regarding
the subject matter of the Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications,
promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between us with respect to your
registration as a borrower member and your loan request.

15. Consent to Electronic Transactions and Disclosures. THIS AGREEMENT IS FULLY SUBJECT TO YOUR
CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS AND DISCLOSURES, WHICH CONSENT IS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF USE.

16. Notices. You agree that we can send you any and all notices and other communications related to
this Agreement, any loan requests you post or your status as a borrower member by sending an email
to your registered email address or posting the notice or communication on the Site, and notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been duly given and effective when we send it or post it on
the Site. You acknowledge that you have sole access to the registered email account and your area
on the Site and that communications from us may contain sensitive, confidential, and
collections-related communications. If your registered email address changes, you must notify us
immediately of the change by sending an email to support@Lendingclub.com or calling 866-754-4094.
You also agree to update promptly your registered residence address and telephone number on the
Site if they change.

17. Miscellaneous. The parties acknowledge that there are no third party beneficiaries to this
Agreement. You may not assign, transfer, sublicense or otherwise delegate your rights or
obligations under this Agreement to another person without our prior written consent. Any such
assignment, transfer, sublicense or delegation in violation of this section 17 shall be null and
void. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any
principle of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction. Any waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be a waiver of any
other subsequent breach. Failure or delay by either party to enforce any term or condition of this
Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such term or condition. If at any time after the date of
this Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect,
but the illegality and unenforceability of such provision shall have no effect upon and shall not
impair the enforceability of any other provisions of this

 

 

 Agreement. The headings in this Agreement
are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement in any
way.

18. Arbitration.

a. Either party to this Agreement, or WBK, may, at its sole election, require that the sole and
exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to
this section 18 (the “Arbitration Provision”), unless you opt out as provided in section 18(b)
below. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future
claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you),
on the one hand, and
us and/or WBK (or persons claiming through or connected with us and/or WBK), on the other hand,
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Note, the Site, and/or the activities or
relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing, including (except to the
extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of section 18(f) below) the validity or
enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims
are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or
otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims
include matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or
otherwise. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible
interpretation that is enforceable.

b. You may opt out of this Arbitration Provision for all purposes by sending an arbitration opt
out notice to LendingClub Corporation, 440 N Wolfe Road, Sunnyvale, California 94085, Attention:
Loan Processing Department, that is received at the specified address within 30 days of the date of
your electronic acceptance of the terms of this Agreement. The opt out notice must clearly state
that you are rejecting arbitration; identify the Agreement to which it applies by date; provide
your name, address, and social security number; and be signed by you. You may send the opt out
notice in any manner you see fit as long as it is received at the specified address within the
specified time. No other methods can be used to opt out of this Arbitration Provision. If the opt
out notice is sent on your behalf by a third party, such third party must include evidence of his
or her authority to submit the opt out notice on your behalf.

c. The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”) or JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the
arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator
selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any
countervailing law. In the case of a

 

 

conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator
and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing
law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the
administrator apply.

d. If we (or WBK) elect arbitration, we (or WBK, as the case may be) shall pay all the
administrator’s filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). lf you elect
arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in
accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law
if contrary to the administrator’s rules. We (or WBK, as the case may be) shall pay the
administrator’s hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that
exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator’s rules
or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we
(or WBK) pay them and we agree (or WBK agrees) to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its
own attorneys’ fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to
recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein.

e. Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, any party may appeal the award for
reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator
administrator. In the event of such an appeal, any opposing party may cross-appeal within 30 days
after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award
that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision
and the administrator’s rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by
the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be
final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and may
be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

f. We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate an individual Claim you may bring in Small Claims
Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. NO
ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE
ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS
REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to
the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for
or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration
unless those persons are parties to a single

 

 

 transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all
parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of
the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (a)
determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any
Claim of anyone other than a named party; nor (b) make an award for the benefit of, or against,
anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority
to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this section 18(f), and any attempt to do so, whether by rule,
policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to
the validity of this section 18(f) shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the
administrator or any arbitrator.

g. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and
shall be governed by and enforceable under the FAA. The arbitrator will apply substantive law
consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or
other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth
in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and
evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect
confidential information.

h. This Arbitration Provision shall survive (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or
amendments to this Agreement and the relationship of the parties and/or WBK; (ii) the bankruptcy or
insolvency of any party or other person; and (iii) any transfer of any loan or Note or any other
promissory note(s) which you owe, or any amounts owed on such loans or notes, to any other person
or entity. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than section 18(f) is deemed invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain
valid and in force. If an arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis,
and the limitations on such proceedings in section 18(f) are finally adjudicated pursuant to the
last sentence of section 18(f) to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event
shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards
beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR
JURY, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION
PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS
IN A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY.
