ARTICLE 2.
SELLER COMMITMENT AND PURCHASE OF LOANS
| 2.1 | Loan Programs, Purchaser Online Accounts and Addenda. |
Seller facilitates several Loan programs, each of which provides investors the opportunity to invest in Loans satisfying the Credit Criteria applicable to such program (each a “Loan Program”). On or prior to a Launch Date, Purchaser will (i) establish a Purchaser Online Account with Seller for each applicable Loan Program and (ii) execute the related Addendum for each Loan Program in which Purchaser will or intends to participate. A Purchaser Online Account may be used by Purchaser to purchase and hold Loans meeting only one of the Credit Criteria described in the related Addendum (i.e., Loans sold pursuant to a particular Loan Program). By way of example only, if Purchaser participates in both the “Prime” Loan Program and the “Near Prime” Loan Program, Purchaser shall open two Purchaser Online Accounts and execute the two applicable Addenda.
| 2.2 | Purchase Procedures for Offer, Commitment and Funding of Purchased Loans. |
(a) Purchase Procedures for Offer. Commencing on a Launch Date, Seller will grant Purchaser the right to view applicable Eligible Loans through the applicable Purchaser Online Account.
(b) Purchase Commitments. From time to time, Purchaser may make a Purchase Commitment (subject to any applicable Purchase Limitation) for each Loan Program in which it participates (i.e., each Loan Program for which Purchaser has executed an Addendum). Each Purchase Commitment shall be made by (i) Purchaser, in its sole discretion, or (ii) Seller, acting upon its delegated non-discretionary authority to make Purchase Commitments on behalf of Purchaser (if such authority is delegated to Seller pursuant to the terms of the applicable Addendum). Seller commits to offer Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby commits to purchase Eligible Loans in respect of which any Purchase Commitment is made in accordance with the terms of the immediately preceding sentence; provided, however, that any such prospective Eligible Loan that becomes a Non-Offered Loan shall be released and removed from any Purchase Commitment. Purchaser will be irrevocably obligated to purchase each such Eligible Loan that does not become a Non-Offered Loan. Seller will provide a Purchaser Activity Status Report listing all the Eligible Loans that are
MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 6
subject to a Purchase Commitment. Prior to making any Purchase Commitment, Purchaser will have an amount of funds available in the Purchaser Online Account equal to such Purchase Commitment plus the aggregate amount of all outstanding Purchase Commitments, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing. Unless otherwise agreed to in Seller’s sole discretion, Purchaser shall only be able to execute Purchase Commitments to the extent of immediately available funds in the Purchaser Online Account. Any determination as to whether to make a Purchase Commitment for any Eligible Loan shall be deemed to be in Purchaser’s sole discretion and at Purchaser’s own risk that information supplied by any Borrower may be incorrect, and Seller makes no representation as to the correctness of any information provided by any Borrower with respect to any Eligible Loan.
(c) Eligible Loan Status and Funding. With respect to each Eligible Loan to which Purchaser is committed, Seller shall provide prompt notice to Purchaser of any change to the ongoing status of the prospective Eligible Loan, including whether such Loan has become a Non-Offered Loan or such Loan is ready for purchase by Purchaser. Seller will debit the Purchaser Online Account for the full purchase price of each Purchased Loan as indicated through the Purchaser Online Account (the “Purchase Price”). Purchaser will not withdraw funds from the Purchaser Online Account if, after such withdrawal, immediately available funds in such Purchaser Online Account would be less than the dollar amount necessary to meet Purchaser’s aggregate Purchase Commitments as of the applicable Purchase Date, unless otherwise agreed to by Seller in Seller’s sole discretion.
(d) Expiration of Purchase Commitments. The Purchase Commitment for each Eligible Loan shall expire thirty (30) Business Days following the date on which the Purchase Commitment for such Eligible Loan was made (the “Expiration Date”). If the Purchase Date for such Eligible Loan has not occurred on or before such Expiration Date, Purchaser may withdraw any funds from the Purchaser Online Account that were deposited, wired or otherwise made available to Seller in respect of such Purchase Commitment.
(e) Purchase Limitation. Seller may impose a limit on the aggregate amount of Purchase Commitments that Purchaser may make in a given month with respect to one or more Addenda (each, a “Purchase Limitation”). If Seller wishes to impose such a limit, Seller will provide Purchaser thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, informing Purchaser of the total aggregate dollar limit of Purchase Commitments that Seller will accept. The Purchase Limitation will go into effect on the first day of the month immediately following the thirtieth day following the notice, and will apply for each month going forward until Seller provides notice that the Purchase Limitation has been modified or lifted. If a Purchase Limitation is in place, Purchaser will not be permitted to make Purchase Commitments in excess of such Purchase Limitation without prior approval of Seller, which approval may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, a breach of this Section 2.2(e) by Purchaser shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 7
| 2.3 | Conditions Precedent to Purchases. |
Purchaser’s obligation to purchase each Eligible Loan in any Purchase Commitment shall be subject to all of the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement being true, correct and complied with in all material respects as of the applicable Purchase Date. Purchaser’s right to purchase each Eligible Loan hereunder shall be subject to all of the representations, warranties and covenants of Purchaser contained in this Agreement being true, correct and complied with in all material respects as of the applicable Purchase Date, and (unless otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing) shall additionally be conditioned upon there being sufficient available funds in the Purchaser Online Account to pay the Purchase Price of (a) such Eligible Loan and (b) all Eligible Loans that are the subject of an outstanding Purchase Commitment.
| 2.4 | Payment of Purchase Price and Confirmation. |
On the Purchase Date for any Loan, as indicated in the Purchaser Online Account, Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Loan, and Purchaser hereby purchases and shall become, for all purposes, the owner of such Loan as of such Purchase Date, in each case upon identification of such Loan in the related Purchased Loan Confirmation; provided, however, that distribution of amounts received from the Borrower of such Loan shall be subject to retention by Servicer of any interest and fees that accrued on such Loan prior to the respective Purchase Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price for each Eligible Loan reflects an arms-length negotiation, resolution and transaction. If, subsequent to a Purchase Date, Seller discovers that any Purchased Loans were Non-Conforming Loans and Seller provides a notice of such non-conformance to Purchaser (a “Non-Conforming Loan Notice”), within five (5) Business Days of its delivery of a Non-Conforming Loan Notice, Seller can without any consent from Purchaser, but shall not be obligated to, repurchase the related Non-Conforming Loan by depositing an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal balance of such Non-Conforming Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon into the related Purchaser Online Account, whereupon all right, title and interest of Purchaser in, to and under such Non-Conforming Loan shall revert to Seller.
| 2.5 | Modification of Loan Document Package. |
If any of the documents included in a Loan Document Package are modified, amended, or replaced by Seller in a manner that alters the economic terms of the Loan other than as contemplated by the Loan Documents prior to the Purchase Date, then Seller shall submit notice of such modifications, amendments, or replacement documents to Purchaser, together with a summary of the changes made, at least four (4) Business Days prior to such Purchase Date (or such other number of days as may be agreed to by Purchaser). Purchaser shall not be obligated to purchase any Eligible Loan if Purchaser does not agree to such modifications, amendments or replacement documents for such Eligible Loan; provided, however that Purchaser shall provide such agreement (or confirm its objection) within one (1) Business Day of Purchaser’s receipt of such notice from Seller.
| 2.6 | Limitation on Purchase Obligation. |
Purchaser shall have no obligation to purchase any Eligible Loan at any time after the termination of this Agreement (except those Eligible Loans for which outstanding Purchase Commitments were made prior to the termination of this Agreement).

(c) The Parties acknowledge that Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, will provide custody and other services with respect to each Purchased Loan in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.
ARTICLE 3.
TRUE SALE; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; ENFORCEMENT
| 3.1 | True Sale. |
Each of Seller and Purchaser agree that the transactions contemplated hereby are intended to be and shall constitute sales of the Purchased Loans transferred pursuant to Article 2 above, and are not intended to be financings or loans by Purchaser to Seller. The Parties shall treat such transactions as sales for tax, accounting and all other applicable purposes. The sale of each Purchased Loan pursuant to Article 2 above transfers to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Purchased Loan, and Seller will not retain any residual rights with respect to any Purchased Loan. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, Seller is concurrently acquiring the rights to service the Purchased Loans under the Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise specified in writing by the Parties, and Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has a customer relationship with each such Borrower that commenced prior to the Purchase Date of such Loan and will continue to maintain such customer relationship, including the right to contact, solicit or market to each such Borrower; and, provided, further, that Purchaser agrees not to contact, solicit or market to any Borrowers.
| 3.2 | Grant of Security Interest. |
(a) Purchaser shall file one or more UCC financing statements with respect to the sale of the Purchased Loans consistent with Section 9-109(a)(3) of the UCC. Notwithstanding the intent of the Parties, in the event that the transactions contemplated hereby are construed to be financings by Purchaser to Seller or the Purchased Loans are determined or held to be property of Seller, then: (a) Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a present and continuing security interest in and to the following, whether now existing or hereafter created, (i) all Purchased Loans held in the name of Purchaser, (ii) all of the related Loan Document Packages for such Purchased Loans, and (iii) all Proceeds (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) and rights to receive Proceeds due to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement (collectively, the “Purchased Loan Collateral”); (b) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (c) the transfers of the Purchased Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by Seller to Purchaser of a first priority lien upon and security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Loan Collateral; (d) the possession by Purchaser (or Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, as custodian on behalf of Purchaser) of the Purchased Loans and related Loan Document Packages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, chattel paper, money, or negotiable documents shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the lien or security interest pursuant to the UCC, including Section 9-313 of the UCC; (e) Purchaser is hereby authorized to take all necessary or appropriate actions to perfect its security interest in the Purchased Loan Collateral and shall file financing statements on form UCC-1 naming Purchaser as secured party/buyer and
MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 9
Seller as debtor/seller, and identifying the Purchased Loan Collateral as collateral therein; and (f) notifications to Persons holding such property and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such lien or security interest under the UCC. Any assignment of the interests of Purchaser in the Purchased Loans pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any lien or security interest created hereby in the Purchased Loan Collateral.
(b) Seller shall not create or permit any security interest in Purchased Loan Collateral, except in favor of Purchaser or as may be directed by Purchaser and, if necessary, shall direct the filing of any termination statements on form UCC-3 or modify any previously executed loan or security agreement to eliminate any security interest granted in the Purchased Loan Collateral, including without limitation any security interest in such Purchased Loan Collateral as proceeds or as after-acquired property.
(c) To the extent consistent with this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall take such actions as may be deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate such that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a lien upon or security interest in the Purchased Loan Collateral and all such reasonably necessary or appropriate actions had been taken, such lien or security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery by Seller to Purchaser of all assignments, security agreements, financing statements and other documents Purchaser reasonably requests, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.
| 3.3 | Purchaser Rights. |
Seller acknowledges that because it has sold the Purchased Loans to Purchaser, Purchaser shall have all the rights associated with such Purchased Loans, including the right to take any action against any Borrower for non-payment subject to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement and in accordance with Applicable Law.
| 3.4 | Servicing Arrangements. |
Concurrently with its entering into this Agreement, Purchaser has entered into the Servicing Agreement under which LendingClub will act as the initial Servicer of the Purchased Loans for Purchaser. Any purchaser, assignee or transferee of a Purchased Loan, whether from Purchaser or any other party shall be bound by such Servicing Agreement as if an original party thereto unless and until such time as such purchaser, assignee or transferee enters into a new or replacement servicing agreement with Servicer or another licensed servicer for the Purchased Loans in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

ARTICLE 5.
INDEMNITY; REMEDIES
| 5.1 | Seller’s Indemnification. |
(s) Indemnified Purchaser Party. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, trustees, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, representatives, stockholders and agents (each, an “Indemnified Purchaser Party”) from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, or any investigations with respect thereto) (collectively, “Losses”) to the extent that such Losses directly arise out of, and are imposed upon any such Indemnified Purchaser Party by reason of, (a) any material breach by Seller of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement and (b) Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.
(t) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a) above, Seller shall have no obligation to do any of the following: (i) except for acts or omissions that constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its employees or agents, indemnify any Indemnified Purchaser Party for any punitive damages or for any actual or lost profits of such Indemnified Purchaser Party, regardless of whether Seller knew or was aware of such possible Losses; (ii) indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnified Purchaser Party from and against any Losses to the extent such Losses result from the negligence or willful misconduct of or material breach of this Agreement by any potential Indemnified Purchaser Party; (iii) indemnify any Indemnified Purchaser Party from and against any Losses resulting from any material breach by Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 (any claim with respect
MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 15
thereto, a “Specified Indemnity Claim”) if such Specified Indemnity Claim can be and is fully satisfied through the Repurchase Procedure or Resale Procedure pursuant to Section 5.1(e); (iv) indemnify any Indemnified Purchaser Party with respect to any Specified Indemnity Claim unless (A) the Purchased Loan(s) with respect to which such Losses are payable have become Charged Off Loan(s); and (B) the Purchased Loan(s) with respect to which such Losses are payable have been Charged Off Loan(s) for no more than 90 calendar days; (v) indemnify any Indemnified Purchaser Party with respect to any Specified Indemnity Claim for any amount in excess of the outstanding principal balance(s) of the applicable Purchased Loan(s) on the date the Purchased Loan(s) become Charged Off Loan(s); or (vi) indemnify any Indemnified Purchaser Party with respect to a Specified Indemnity Claim if the aggregate amount of all such Specified Indemnity Claims under this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and any Multi-Party Agreement with respect to the applicable Addendum is less than or equal to the Indemnity Deductible. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall only be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Purchaser Party with respect to Specified Indemnity Claims made after the applicable Indemnity Deductible has been satisfied and only for amounts in excess of the applicable Indemnity Deductible; provided, that if an Indemnity Deductible is satisfied but also exceeded by a particular Specified Indemnity Claim, Seller shall only be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Purchaser Party with respect to the portion of the Specified Indemnity Claim that exceeds the applicable Indemnity Deductible.
(u) Purchaser Claims Notice. Purchaser shall be responsible for making any claim for indemnity pursuant to this Section 5.1 on behalf of any Indemnified Purchaser Party. Purchaser shall provide prompt written notice (a “Purchaser Claims Notice”) to Seller describing any claim for indemnity pursuant to Section 5.1(a) within sixty (60) days after the date on which (A) Purchaser, (B) any other Person to whom such Purchased Loan shall have been sold, transferred or assigned or (C) any Person who shall have succeeded to the role of servicer of such Purchaser Loan, receives notice of, becomes aware of (or should have become aware of in the diligent exercise of their duties) or knows of the applicable breach. Furthermore, Purchaser shall include in each Purchaser Claims Notice regarding a Specified Indemnity Claim, for each affected Purchased Loan, (i) a certification of an authorized officer of Purchaser as to the satisfaction of each of the conditions to indemnification set forth in Section 5.1(e) and (ii) sufficient information and supporting documentation as may be necessary to describe the relevant details of the Specified Indemnity Claim and the underlying Purchased Loan (to the extent not otherwise known to Seller).
(v) Seller Response Process. If Seller disagrees with the claim set forth in a Purchaser Claims Notice, Seller shall formally dispute the claim in a writing delivered to Purchaser within sixty (60) days of receipt of such Purchaser Claims Notice. If Seller does not elect to dispute the claim (and the applicable Indemnity Deductible has been satisfied), Seller shall do one of the following within ninety (90) days of its receipt of the Purchaser Claims Notice: (i) make payment of the applicable indemnification amount to Purchaser, (ii) commence the Repurchase Procedure, or (iii) commence the Resale Procedure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may only elect to carry out the Repurchase Procedure or the Resale Procedure (A) with respect to a Specified Indemnity Claim and (B) to the extent that any material breach giving rise to such claim has not been cured by Seller within ninety (90) days of receipt of the related Purchaser Claims Notice.
(w) Specified Indemnity Claims.
| (i) | General. Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Purchaser Party from and against any Losses to the extent such Losses result from a Specified Indemnity Claim unless (i) Purchaser or, at its option, its subsequent transferee or assignee can transfer good and marketable title to the affected Purchased Loan on the date it is to be repurchased by Seller for the Repurchase Price or, at the direction of Seller, sold to a third party for the Resale |
MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 16
Price, (ii) Purchaser is the party requesting such indemnification, and (iii) Purchaser shall have provided a Purchaser Claims Notice in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1(c). In addition, Purchaser shall cause each Person to whom a Purchased Loan is sold, transferred or assigned to agree in writing to provide prompt written notice to Purchaser of such Person’s notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained in Sections 4.1 or 4.2.
| (ii) | Repurchase Procedure. Subject to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b), if Seller elects and implements the Repurchase Procedure with respect to a Purchased Loan, Seller shall have no further indemnity obligations to Purchaser for any breach of this Agreement with respect to such Purchased Loan. |
Seller shall finalize and/or complete the Repurchase Procedure and pay the related Repurchase Price to Purchaser within 120 days of Seller’s receipt of the related Purchaser Claims Notice.
For the avoidance of doubt, if Seller implements the Repurchase Procedure, upon payment to Purchaser of the applicable Repurchase Price for the related Purchased Loan, the title to such Purchased Loan shall be transferred to Seller.
| (iii) | Resale Procedure. Subject to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b), if Seller elects and implements the Resale Procedure with respect to a Purchased Loan, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (x) the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Loan as of the date of such resale and (y) the related Resale Price (any such positive difference, a “Resale Differential”). |
Subject to the following paragraph, Seller shall finalize and/or complete the Resale Procedure, pay any due and owed Resale Differential payments to Purchaser and arrange for payment in full of the Resale Price by the applicable buyer(s) to Purchaser within 120 days of Seller’s receipt of the related Purchaser Claims Notice (“Resale Period”).
For the avoidance of doubt, if Seller implements the Resale Procedure, upon payment to Purchaser of the applicable Resale Price plus any due and owed Resale Differential for the related Purchased Loan, the title to such Purchased Loan shall be transferred to the third party purchaser. Furthermore, the obligations of Seller with respect to a Specified Indemnity Claim for which it has elected the Resale Procedure are not satisfied until the applicable Resale Price (together with any due and owed Resale Differential) has been received by Purchaser (or its designee) by wire transfer into the account Purchase shall specify prior to such sale (or such other payment method reasonably acceptable to Purchaser). Notwithstanding the Resale Period, in the event any proposed buyer fails to make the requisite payment of the Resale Price, Seller shall remain obligated to pay the full Resale Price (less any previously paid Resale Differential made in anticipation of a successful Resale Procedure sale) within sixty (60) days of Seller’s receipt of notice from Purchaser (or its designee) of such failed payment.
MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 17
(x) Assignment and Multi-Party Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it bears the risk of non-payment by the obligors of the Purchased Loans and associated credit-related losses in respect thereof, and indemnification shall not be available for any such non-payment or associated losses under this Agreement, (b) to the extent that that any rights of Purchaser hereunder, or under any executed Addendum, the Servicing Agreement or any Multi-Party Agreement are assigned or otherwise transferred to a third party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or such other agreements, as applicable, any such assignee or beneficiary shall not, unless consented to in writing by Seller, be permitted to claim indemnification hereunder and, in the case any such consent shall have been provided by Seller, shall be bound by the limits on indemnification contained in this Section 5.1 as if such assignee or beneficiary were Purchaser, and such assignee or beneficiary may only claim indemnity in conjunction with, or in place of, Purchaser and (c) multiple recoveries for any single breach shall not be permitted.
| 5.2 | Purchaser’s Indemnification. |
(l) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, trustees, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, representatives, stockholders and agents (each, an “Indemnified Seller Party”) from and against any Losses incurred by Seller in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent that such Losses arise out of, and are imposed upon any such Indemnified Seller Party by reason of, any material breach by Seller of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement. Seller shall provide prompt written notice (a “Seller Claims Notice”, and together with a Purchaser Claims Notice and as the context suggests, each a “Claims Notice”) to Purchaser of any claim for indemnity pursuant to this Section 5.2. In the case of any claim for indemnity made pursuant to this Section 5.2, if Purchaser does not dispute the claim made by Seller in writing within sixty (60) days of receipt of the related Seller Claims Notice, Purchaser shall make payment of the applicable indemnification amount to Seller within ninety (90) days of receipt of the related Seller Claims Notice.
(m) Notwithstanding Section 5.2(a), Purchaser shall have no obligation to do any of the following: (i) except for acts or omissions that constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser or its employees or agents, indemnify any Indemnified Seller Party for any punitive damages or for any actual or lost profits of such Indemnified Seller Party, regardless of whether Purchaser knew or was aware of such possible Losses; or (ii) indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnified Seller Party from and against any Losses to the extent such Losses result from the negligence or willful misconduct of or breach of this Agreement by any Indemnified Seller Party.
| 5.3 | Notice of Claims. |
Each Party against whom a claim for indemnity pursuant to this Article 5 shall have been made (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall have the right to defend the Person seeking such indemnity (each, an “Indemnified Party”) with counsel of such Indemnifying Party’s choice in respect of any third party claim, so long as (i) such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have provided written notice to the Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the related Claims Notice, indicating that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of this Article 5, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the third party claim or matter actively and diligently. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of any such claim or matter; provided, that any related attorneys’ fees shall not be indemnifiable Losses. Knowledge by an Indemnified Party of any breach or non-compliance hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such Indemnified Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, provided that such Indemnified Party shall
MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 18
have notified the applicable Indemnifying Party of such breach or non-compliance in a timely manner and in accordance with the terms of this Article 5. No express or implied waiver by an Indemnified Party of any default hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any other default. The failure or delay of an Indemnified Party to exercise any of its rights granted hereunder regarding any default shall not constitute a waiver of any such right as to any other default, and any single or partial exercise of any particular right granted to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein.
ARTICLE 6.
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
| 6.1 | Confidentiality |
(n) During the term of this Agreement, a Party (the “Recipient”) may receive or have access to certain information of the other Party (the “Discloser”) including, though not limited to, records, documents, proprietary information, technology, software, trade secrets, financial and business information, or data related to such other Party’s products (including the discovery, invention, research, improvement, development, manufacture, or sale thereof), processes, or general business operations (including sales, costs, profits, pricing methods, organization, employee or customer lists and process), whether oral, written, or communicated via electronic media or otherwise disclosed or made available to a Party or to which a Party is given access pursuant to this Agreement by the other Party, and any information obtained through access to any information assets or information systems (including computers, networks, voice mail, etc.), that, if not otherwise described above, is of such a nature that a reasonable person would believe to be confidential (together, “Confidential Information”). In addition to the foregoing, this Agreement shall also be deemed to be “Confidential Information.” Recipient shall protect the disclosed Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of the Confidential Information as Recipient uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a like nature.

Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its officers, directors, employees, trustees, members, partners, potential and existing financing sources (including, with respect to Purchaser, any potential or existing investor in, and Person acting as a trustee or service provider in connection with, asset-backed securities for which the Purchased Loans are included in the collateral or trust assets), advisors or representatives (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, insurers, rating agencies, consultants, bankers, financial advisors,

To the extent that Purchaser has access to NPI through Loan Documentation Packages or any other source, Purchaser agrees that such information will not be disclosed or made available to any third party, agent or employee for any reason whatsoever, other than with respect to: (1) Purchaser’s authorized employees, agents or representatives on a “need to know” basis in order for Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement and other agreements related to the Purchased Loans, provided that such agents or representatives are subject to a confidentiality agreement which shall be consistent with and no less restrictive than the provisions of this Article 6; and (2) as required by law or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or the GLB Act regarding “Privacy” of NPI, either during the term of this Agreement or after the termination of this Agreement, provided that, prior to any disclosure of NPI as required by Applicable Law, Purchaser shall, if permitted by Applicable Law, (i) not disclose any such information until it has notified Seller in writing of all actual or threatened legal compulsion of disclosure, and any actual legal obligation of disclosure promptly upon becoming so obligated, and (ii) cooperate to the fullest extent possible with all lawful efforts by Seller to resist or limit disclosure. To the extent that Purchaser maintains or accesses any NPI, Purchaser shall comply with all Applicable Law regarding use, disclosure and safeguarding of any and all consumer information and will maintain a comprehensive written information security program, in compliance with Applicable Law, which shall include all necessary measures, including the establishment and maintenance of appropriate policies, procedures and technical, physical, and administrative safeguards, to (w) ensure the security and confidentiality of the NPI, (x) protect against any foreseeable threats or hazards to the security or integrity of NPI, (y) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information, and (z) ensure appropriate disposal of NPI.
(p) Should there be any unauthorized release or breach of NPI maintained by a Party (“Data Breach”), such Party agrees to immediately provide notice to the other Party of same and shall specify the corrective action that was or will be taken. The breached or releasing Party shall assess the nature and scope of any Data Breach and specifically identify the NPI that has or may have been improperly accessed, released or misused. The breached or releasing Party shall take reasonable and appropriate steps to contain and control any Data Breach relating to the NPI and assist the other Party at the expense of the breached or releasing Party with all reasonably requested steps needed to notify Borrowers of any such Data Breach.
(q) Following the termination of this Agreement, each Party agrees that it will return or destroy all copies of Confidential Information of the other Party, without retaining any copies thereof, and destroy all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by it or for its use containing or reflecting any Confidential Information; provided, however, that each Party may retain such limited copies or materials containing Confidential Information of the other Party for customary document retention and audit purposes, as required by Applicable Law, and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Upon receipt of such Article 7 Repurchase Price, Purchaser shall transfer its interest in such repurchased Purchased Loan to Seller on an “AS-IS,” “WHERE-IS” basis, without any representations or warranties other than with respect to Purchaser’s clear and marketable title to such repurchased Purchased Loan.

| III. Purchase Requirement and Loan Program Mechanics |
The following provisions supplement those contained in Section 2.2 of the Master Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to Purchased Loans satisfying the Credit Criteria outlined in this Addendum No. 5:
(a) With respect to Eligible Loans offered to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to the Credit Criteria specifications of this Addendum No. 5, Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree in writing to a Purchase Requirement. At least thirty (30) days prior to the first day of each month, or as otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing, Seller and Purchaser will mutually agree as to the Purchase Requirement for such month. Such Purchase Requirement will go into effect on the first day of such month and will apply for each month going forward until Seller and Purchaser mutually agree in writing to modify such Purchase Requirement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller may, but is not required to offer to Purchaser, an amount of Eligible Loans equal to the Purchase Requirement and its offer of no Eligible Loans or an amount of Eligible Loans that is less than the Purchase Requirement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(b) Purchaser agrees to make a Purchase Commitment for all Eligible Loans offered to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to the Credit Criteria specifications outlined in this Addendum No. 5 (other than those that become Non-Offered Loans and to the extent Eligible Loans are available) in any given calendar month until such time as Purchaser has made Purchase Commitments for an amount of Eligible Loans (based upon Purchase Price) equal to the Purchase Requirement for such month. Each Eligible Loan offered to Purchaser by Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, up to the Purchase Requirement will be deemed to be subject to a Purchase Commitment upon offer. After meeting the Purchase Requirement for any calendar month, upon the mutual agreement between Seller and Purchaser and to the extent Eligible Loans are available, Seller may offer, additional Eligible Loans during such month subject to the Purchase Limitation.
(c) Seller may strive to allocate Eligible Loans among purchasers participating in the Loan Program covered by this Addendum No. 5 in an equitable manner so that all purchasers have an equitable opportunity to purchase Eligible Loans pursuant to the Credit Criteria specifications outlined in this Addendum No. 5. However, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may, in its sole and absolute discretion, allocate Eligible Loans to participants in the Multi-Draw Line of Credit Loan Program in a manner that does
MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Addendum No. 5 (Multi-Draw Line of Credit Loan Program)
not result in all participants having an equal distribution of Eligible Loans, whether across grade, term or amount.
(d) Purchaser acknowledges that each Eligible Loan offered to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Addendum No. 5 constitutes a single “loan advance” made to a Borrower under such Borrower’s Line of Credit pursuant to the applicable Line Agreement. As a result, multiple investor participants in the Multi-Draw Line of Credit Loan Program may purchase Eligible Loans constituting “loan advances” issued under the same Line of Credit to a given Borrower. Purchaser further acknowledges that any payments received from a Borrower shall be treated as a payment against the entire Line of Credit under the Line Agreement and allocated pro rata among Purchaser and any other investors owning Loans corresponding to “loan advances” issued under the same Line of Credit as follows:
| (i) | Billed fees; then |
| (ii) | Billed interest; then |
| (iii) | Billed principal; then |
| (iv) | Unbilled principal; then |
| (v) | Unbilled fees; then |
| (vi) | Unbilled interest. |
For the avoidance of doubt, “pro rata” for purposes of each waterfall calculation above shall be separately based on each payment category. By way of example only, if Purchaser owns a Purchased Loan corresponding to a “loan advance” issued under a Line of Credit (and at least one additional “loan advance” has been extended to the Borrower under the Line of Credit), Purchaser’s “pro rata” allocation of “billed interest” in waterfall scenario (i) above with respect to that Purchased Loan would be calculated as (a) the amount of billed interest owed to Purchaser with respect to that Purchased Loan, divided by (b) the total amount of billed interest owed under that Line of Credit, multiplied by (c) the lesser of (i) the total payment received less any billed fees and (ii) the total billed interest under the Line of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all distributions and payments owed to Purchaser with respect to Purchased Loans shall be made by Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

The following representations, warranties and covenants supplement those contained in Section 4.2 of the Master Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to Purchased Loans satisfying the Credit Criteria outlined in this Addendum No. 5:
