The parties agree as follows:

Recitals .

A. Borrower is engaged in the business of purchasing and servicing loans made by WebBank to Borrower Members (collectively, the “ Borrower Member Loans ”, and each, a “ Borrower Member Loan ”). Upon the making of a Borrower Member Loan, Borrower purchases such Borrower Member Loan pursuant to the Loan Servicing Documents. In order to fund the making and purchase of each Borrower Member Loan, Borrower issues and sells to Lender Members, and such Lender Members purchase from Borrower, Borrower Securities (as defined herein). The Borrower Securities are repaid by Borrower solely from the proceeds of such Borrower Member Loan and otherwise are without recourse to Borrower.

B. Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders entered into (i) that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated February 19, 2008 (as amended from time to time, the “ Prior Gold Hill Loan Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Lenders made advances to Borrower in the original principal amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “ Existing 2008 Gold Hill Line ”), and (ii) that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated May 18, 2009 (as amended from time to time, the “ Prior Joint Loan Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Lenders made advances to Borrower in the original principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “ Existing 2009 Gold Hill Line ”, and together with the Existing 2008 Gold Hill Line, the “ Gold Hill Line ”) and SVB made advances to Borrower in the original principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “ Existing 2009 SVB Line ). In addition, SVB has entered into that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated October 7, 2008 (as amended from time to time, the “ Prior SVB Loan Agreement ”, and together with the Prior Gold Hill Loan Agreement and the Prior Joint Loan Agreement, collectively, the “ Prior Loan Agreements ”) pursuant to which SVB made advances to Borrower in the aggregate original principal amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000).

C. Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders (i) consent to a Lien on the Secured Member Payment Dependent Note Collateral (as defined herein) in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender Members holding Secured Member Payment Dependent Notes (the “ Trustee Lien ”), and (ii) consolidate the three (3) Prior Loan Agreements into two (2) loan agreements, and Administrative Agent 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 and the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement between Borrower and SVB dated of even date herewith.

 

 


 

D. In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower hereby amends and restates the Prior Gold Hill Loan Agreement in its entirety and the Prior Joint Loan Agreement with respect to the Existing 2009 Gold Hill Line, and covenants, promises, agrees, represents and warrants, with and for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, as follows:

The advances under the Gold Hill Line are hereinafter referred to individually, as an “ Advance ” and collectively as the “ Advances ”.

The portion of the Eligible Loan financed by the Advance and evidenced by the Financed Loan Note is a “ Financed Loan ”.

In the event that the Minimum Collateral Value Ratio at any time is less than 1:05:1.00, Borrower shall immediately either (i) provide Administrative Agent with additional Pledged CDs with a Value sufficient to eliminate any such deficiency or (ii) deliver electronic endorsements to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and to each Lender, with respect to Pledged Investor Notes in the aggregate principal amount necessary to cause the Minimum Collateral Value Ratio to be equal to or greater than 1.05 to1.00, together with evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that Norwest Venture Partners X, LP and Canaan VII L.P. have endorsed such Pledged Investor Notes to Borrower

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.

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to collect all payments and other amounts received in connection with Borrower Member Loans (“ Loan Collections ”); provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to collect all payments and other amounts received in connection with Borrower Member Loans which are not Financed Loans without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt by Borrower of any Loan Collections, Borrower shall immediately deposit such Loan Collections into the Clearing Account (or shall receive such payments and other amounts directly into the Clearing Account) and deliver to Administrative Agent a detailed breakdown of such Loan Collections showing the interests of each Lender in such Loan Collections. Borrower shall, within four (4) days of such time as Loan Collections are deposited into the Clearing Account, distribute such Loan Collections as follows:

(a) With respect to any Loan Collections received in connection with a Financed Loan, (i) when directed by Administrative Agent, into a lockbox account that Administrative Agent controls (the “ Lockbox Account ”) and (ii) at all other times, into the Operating Account. Provided no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall transfer all amounts deposited into the Lockbox Account from the Lockbox Account to the Operating Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt in the Lockbox Account. All Financed Loans and the proceeds thereof are Collateral and immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may without notice apply all Loan Collections from Financed Loans and other proceeds of such Financed Loans and the balance of the Lockbox Account to the Obligations. This Section does not impose any affirmative duty on SVB or Administrative Agent to perform any act other than as specifically set forth herein.

6.11 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.
