This Borrower Registration Agreement (this
"Agreement") is made and entered into between you and Prosper Funding
LLC ("Prosper").
The Prosper marketplace is an online credit platform (the
"Platform") operated by Prosper. Among other things, Prosper offers access to
unsecured personal loans in the form of the promissory note attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Promissory Note”). All loans originated through the Platform
are made by WebBank, a Utah-chartered industrial bank
(“WebBank” or “Bank”). A separate legal entity,
Prosper Marketplace, Inc. ("PMI"), provides services to Bank in
connection with the origination of such loans. Prosper services all loans made
through the Platform, but has engaged certain third parties (including PMI) to
act as agents of Prosper in the performance of such servicing. The following
Agreement describes those services as well as your rights and obligations
should you elect to register as a borrower on the Platform. Except for Section
22, when used in this Agreement "we" or "us" refers to
Prosper, Bank and their respective agents (including without limitation PMI in
its capacity as agent of Prosper or Bank).
1. Registration as a Prosper Borrower. You are
registering with Prosper as a borrower so that you can make loan requests or
"listings" through the Platform. In entering into this Agreement, you
are agreeing to comply with the Terms of Use for the Platform as well as any
other rules or policies set forth on Prosper's
website (www.prosper.com), any of which
may be amended from time to time by Prosper in its sole discretion
(collectively, as amended, the "Prosper Terms and Conditions"). The
Prosper Terms and Conditions are accessible via a link marked
"Policies" at the bottom of each page of Prosper's
website.
We reserve the right to restrict access to the Platform to
individuals who meet minimum credit guidelines and other criteria, as
determined by us in our sole discretion.
2. Authorization to Obtain Credit Report. By
registering on the Platform as a borrower, you authorize us or our agents
(including PMI), to obtain a credit report from one or more consumer
credit reporting agencies. We may use the credit report for any purpose that
would be authorized by applicable law in connection with a credit transaction
involving you and involving the extension of credit to you or review or
collection of your account, including but not limited to (i)
for authentication purposes, to make sure you are who you say you are, (ii) to
make credit decisions; (iii) to administer the sale of any Borrower Payment
Dependent Notes ("Notes") associated with your loan or the sale of
your loan in its entirety; (iv) to determine how much debt you currently have,
in order to determine your debt-to-income ratio, (v) to obtain your credit
score and assign you a Prosper Rating based in part on that score, (vi) to
obtain and display information and characteristics from your credit report from
one or more consumer credit reporting agencies, and (vii) to obtain and display
on the Folio Investing Note Trader Platform certain information and
characteristics from your credit report from one or more consumer credit
reporting agencies at any time or times that a Note corresponding to your loan
is offered for sale by investors holding such Notes. Information from your
credit report will be displayed on the Prosper website with your listing. You
authorize us to verify information in your credit report and your listing, and
you agree that Prosper, Bank or PMI (in its capacity as agent of Prosper or Bank)
may contact third parties without further notice to you to verify any such
information. We may obtain your credit report each time you create a listing
and at any other time in our sole discretion, including in connection with loan
servicing or collection.
3. Listings. The Platform connects applicants
who wish to obtain loans with investor members who wish to help fund them. To
receive a loan, you, a borrower member, must submit a loan listing through the Platform.
The listing is a request by you for a loan in the amount and at the interest
rate specified in the listing. In order to submit a listing through the Platform,
you must have a good faith intent to obtain and repay your loan, and your
listing must be consistent with that intent.
In order for your listing to become a loan, you must receive
aggregate funding commitments from Prosper investor members that equal or
exceed the minimum funding amount applicable to your listing. When you submit
your listing, it will automatically be allocated to one of three funding
channels, based upon a random allocation methodology determined by Prosper: (i) the first channel allows investor members to commit to
purchase Notes from Prosper, the payments of which are dependent on the
payments you make on your loan (the "Note Channel"); (ii) the second
channel allows investor members to commit to purchase 100% of your loan
directly from Prosper ("Active Loan Channel"); and (iii) the third
channel reserves your loan for sale to an investor member who has already
committed to purchase loans like yours from Prosper ("Passive Loan Channel").
Prosper may add or remove funding channels at any time in its sole discretion.
If your listing receives sufficient commitments to fund, Bank
will originate a loan to you in an amount equal to the total amount of those
commitments. If your listing is allocated to Passive Loan Channel, it will
automatically be considered to have received a commitment equal to the amount
of the loan requested. If your listing is allocated to the Note Channel, investor
members who purchase Notes tied to your loan may resell those Notes to other investor
members on our secondary trading platform (the "Note Trader Platform").
Prosper may add or remove secondary trading platforms at any time in its sole
discretion.
Information Included in Listings. To
submit a listing, you must provide the amount of the loan you are requesting as
well as your annual income, occupation and employment status. The minimum and
maximum loan amounts you may request are posted on the Prosper website and are
subject to change by us at any time without notice. We reserve the right to
restrict the submission of listings through the Platform to applicants who meet
minimum credit guidelines and other criteria, as determined by us in our sole
discretion.
You authorize and agree that we may include in your listing
any information from the credit report we obtain pursuant to Section 2 above,
including but not limited to the following information:
(i) Your Prosper Rating, which is calculated by us but based on information
from your credit report;
(ii) Your debt-to-income ratio, expressed as a percentage,
reflecting the ratio between the amount of your
monthly non-mortgage debt, as compared to the amount of monthly income that you
indicated when completing your listing;
(iii) Whether you own a home;
(iv) The number of accounts on
which you are currently late on a payment;
(v) The total past-due amount you owe on all delinquent and
charged-off accounts;
(vi) The number of 90+ days past
due delinquencies on your credit report;
(vii) The number of negative public records (e.g.,
bankruptcies, liens, and judgments) on your credit report over the last 12
months, and over the last 10 years;
(viii) The month and year the oldest account on your credit
report (e.g., revolving, installment, or mortgage credit) was opened;
(ix) The total number of credit lines appearing on your
credit report, along with the number that are open and current;
(x) The total balance on all of your open revolving credit
lines;
(xi) Your bankcard utilization ratio, expressed as a
percentage, reflecting the ratio of the total balance used, to the aggregate
credit limit on, all of your open bankcards; and
(xii) The number of inquiries made by creditors to your
credit report in the last six months.
In addition, you authorize and agree that we may display any
of the above information in a listing for a Note corresponding to your loan on
the Note Trader Platform, and that we may display updated information from your
credit report, as well as information about the payment history and status of
your loan, in any such listing.
Listings displayed on either Platform may also include any
information we ask you to provide, including, without limitation, your
self-reported occupation, employment status and range of income. You authorize
us to verify your residence, income, employment and any other information you
provide in connection with a listing or your registration as a borrower, and
you agree that we may contact third parties to verify information you provide.
If any such information changes after you submit a listing but before the
listing expires, you must either (i) promptly notify
us of the change, or (ii) if the listing was allocated to the Note Channel or Active
Loan Channel, withdraw your listing.
In creating your listing, or posting content on your Prosper
member web page or anywhere else on Prosper's website,
you may not include (i) any personally identifiable
information, including, without limitation, your name, address, phone number,
email address, Social Security number, driver's license number, bank account
number or credit card number, (ii) any information that reveals your race,
color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, sexual orientation,
military status, source of income, or plans for having a family, and (iii) any
information that is inconsistent with your obligations to refrain from engaging
in any Prohibited Activities (as defined below) (any information of the type
described in parts (i), (ii) or (iii) being,
"Prohibited Information"). We may take remedial action with respect
to any Prohibited Information you post on Prosper's web
site, including without limitation canceling any listing containing Prohibited
Information or deleting or modifying all or any portion of a listing
description or other content that contains Prohibited Information; provided,
however, that we are under no obligation to take any such action, and any
posting of Prohibited Information by you on Prosper's
web site is done solely at your own risk.
Listings Allocated to the Note Channel. Any
person who visits the Prosper website will be able to view your listing and see
your Prosper Rating as well as certain information about the loan you have
requested; provided, however, information from your credit report will only be
viewable by investor members.
We may elect in our sole discretion to give you a partial
funding option, which means your loan will be funded if it receives commitments
totaling less than the full amount of your requested loan but equal to or
exceeding 70% of that amount (subject to the loan size minimum). Each loan
listing related to a borrower who was offered the partial funding option will
indicate the minimum amount required for the loan to fund. The current
percentage threshold for partial funding is 70%, but we may change that
threshold from time to time. Any such change will only affect listings created
after the change is made.
Duration of Listings. A listing will expire on
the earlier of (a) the time at which it has received commitments equal to the full
amount of the loan requested (which could be immediately after being listed) or
(b) if allocated to the Note Channel, 14 days after being posted, unless the
listing is withdrawn by you or cancelled by us prior to either of those events.
If a listing is allocated to Active Loan Channel and does not receive
commitments sufficient to fund within one (1) hour of being posted, it will
automatically be reallocated to the Note Channel.
WITHDRAWAL OF LISTINGS. YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO WITHDRAW YOUR LISTING AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE
LISTING PERIOD AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. AFTER THE LISTING PERIOD EXPIRES, YOU WILL
NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW YOUR LISTING. IF A LOAN IS MADE TO YOU,
YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO RESCIND THE LOAN.
If you elect to withdraw your listing, you may (but are not
required to) submit a new listing. We reserve the right, in our sole
discretion, to limit the number of listings you submit or attempt to submit
through the Platform.
Additional Loans. The guidelines and
eligibility requirements for additional loans are posted on the Prosper website
and are subject to change by us in our sole discretion at any time without
notice. Subject to these requirements, you may have up to two loans outstanding
at any one time, provided that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of
your loans does not exceed the maximum loan amount then in effect. You may not
submit a listing for a second loan unless you meet the eligibility requirements
then in effect as of the date of such submission.
Prohibited Activities. You agree that you
will not, in connection with any listings, investor commitments, loans or other
transactions involving or potentially involving Prosper or Bank, (i) make any false, misleading or deceptive statements or
omissions of material fact; (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 Prosper investor
member or other person any fee, bonus, additional interest, kickback or thing
of value of any kind, including in exchange for such person's commitment,
recommendation, or offer or agreement to recommend or make a commitment with
respect to your listing; and (iv) represent yourself to any person as a
director, officer or employee of Prosper, PMI or Bank, unless you are such
director, officer or employee.
4. Right to Verify Information and Cancel Funding.
a. We reserve the right to verify the accuracy of all
information provided by borrower and investor members in connection with
listings, investor commitments and loans. We also reserve the right to
determine in our sole discretion whether a registered user is using, or has
used, the Prosper website illegally or in violation of any order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, for purposes
of fraud or deception, or otherwise in a manner inconsistent with the Prosper
Terms and Conditions or any agreement between Prosper or Bank and such user. We
may conduct our review at any time - before, during or after the submission of
a listing, or before or after the funding of a loan. You agree to respond
promptly to our requests for information in connection with any such review by
us.
b. In the event we determine, prior to funding a loan, that
a listing, or an investor commitment for the listing, contains materially
inaccurate information (including but not limited to unintended inaccuracies,
inaccuracies resulting from errors by us, or inaccuracies resulting from
changes in the borrower's income, residence or credit profile between the date
a listing is submitted and the date the listing is to be funded) or was
submitted illegally, in violation of any order, writ, injunction or decree of
any court or governmental instrumentality, for purposes of fraud or deception,
or otherwise in a manner inconsistent with the Prosper Terms and Conditions or
any member agreement, we may refuse to accept the listing or, if the listing
has already been accepted, remove the listing from the Platform and cancel all investor
commitments with respect to the listing.
c. When a listing receives commitments equal to or exceeding
the minimum amount required for the loan to fund, we may conduct a
"pre-funding" review prior to funding the loan. Loan funding occurs
when loan proceeds are disbursed to or at the direction of the borrower. We may,
at any time and in our sole discretion, delay funding of a loan (i) in order to enable us to verify the accuracy of
information provided by borrower members, investor members in connection with
the listing or investor commitments made with respect to the listing; (ii) to
determine whether there are any irregularities with respect to the listing or
the investor commitments; or (iii) if we become aware of information concerning
the borrower member or the listing during our pre-funding review, as a result
of which we determine, in our sole discretion, that the likelihood of the
borrower not making payments on the loan is materially greater than would be
expected based on the assigned Prosper Rating. We may cancel or proceed with
funding the loan, depending on the results of our pre-funding review. If
funding is cancelled, the listing will be removed from the Platform and all investor
commitments against the listing will be cancelled. In the event we cancel funding
of a loan, we will notify the borrower, and all investor members who made
commitments with respect to the listing of such cancellation.
d. We may verify any of the information you provide in
applying for a loan and creating a listing, and may require that you submit
evidence sufficient to permit us to verify the information you provided or
other information we deem necessary. We
have sole discretion to determine what evidence suffices, and it is your
obligation to provide that evidence within the deadline we prescribe. If you fail to do so, we may cancel your
listing. However, if we are able to
obtain the information we require from other sources, or determine that the
information is no longer necessary, your loan may originate even though you
have not submitted the required documents.
5. Matching of Investor Commitments and Listings; Loan
Funding.
a. If your listing is allocated to the Note Channel, Prosper
investor members will be able to view your listing and commit funds to purchase
Notes issued by Prosper, the payments on which will be dependent on payments
Prosper receives from you on your loan. In other words, the Prosper investor
members who committed funds will receive payments on their Notes only to the
extent you make payments on your loan. If your listing is allocated to the
Active Loan Channel or the Passive Loan Channel, Prosper investor members will
commit funds to purchase from Prosper a Promissory Note evidencing the loan
made by Bank to you.
b. A match of your listing with one or more investor
commitments equal to or exceeding the minimum amount required for the loan to
fund, will result in a loan from Bank to you, subject to our right to verify
information as described above. The loan will be evidenced by a Promissory Note
in the form set forth on the attached Exhibit A. Depending on the loan product
you receive, loan proceeds are disbursed into your designated deposit account
or they are paid directly to a merchant in satisfaction of your purchase of
goods and/or services from that merchant. The loan will be sold by Bank to
Prosper, and Prosper or its agents will service the loan. If your listing was
allocated to the Active Loan Channel or the Passive Loan Channel, Prosper will
sell the loan to one of its investor members, but Prosper will continue to
service the loan.
c. We do not warrant or guaranty that your
listing will be matched with any investor commitments. Your listing must
receive one or more investor commitments equal to or exceeding the minimum
amount required for the loan to fund in order for a loan to be made.
d. To safeguard your privacy rights, your name and address
will not be included in your listing. Only your Prosper screen name will appear
on your listing, and only the screen name of the investor members will appear
with investor commitments.
6. Compensation. If you receive a loan, you must
pay Bank a non-refundable origination fee. The amount of the estimated
origination fee is stated in the disclosures provided to you at the time you
apply. This amount will decline if you've been offered a partial funding option
and your loan is not 100% funded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount of
the finally determined fee is refundable. The finally determined fee will be
stated in your Truth in Lending disclosure. This fee will be deducted from your
loan proceeds, so the loan proceeds delivered to you or at your direction will
be less than the full amount of your issued loan. You acknowledge that the
origination fee will be considered part of the principal on your loan and is
subject to the accrual of interest.
7. Making Your Loan Payments. At the time you
register as a borrower, you must provide your bank account information to
facilitate transfers of funds to and from your bank account. You agree to make
your loan payments by automated withdrawals from your designated account, by
manual payments you initiate from your designated account, with the first
payment being scheduled during the application process, or by check (you must
call customer service at 1-866-615-6319 to arrange payment by check). Your loan
payments will be made by the payment method you choose. Prosper or its agents
will act as the servicer for all loans you obtain through the Platform, and all
communications regarding your loan must be made to Prosper or its agents.
8. Collection & Reporting of Delinquent Loans. In
the event you do not make your loan payments on time, Bank or any subsequent
owner of the loan will have all remedies authorized or permitted by the
Promissory Note and applicable law. In addition, if you fail to make timely
payments on your loan, your loan may be referred to a collection agency for
collection. Prosper or its agents may report loan payment delinquencies in
excess of thirty (30) days to one or more credit reporting agencies in
accordance with applicable law. See the
“Permission to Contact” section below for additional important information.
9. No Guarantee. Neither Prosper nor Bank
warrants or guarantees (1) that your listing will be matched with any investor
commitments, or (2) that you will receive a loan as a result of submitting a
listing.
10. Restrictions on Use. You are not authorized
or permitted to use the Prosper website to obtain, or attempt to obtain, a loan
for someone other than yourself. You are not authorized or permitted to use the
Prosper website to obtain, or attempt to obtain, a loan for the purpose of (i) buying, carrying or trading in securities or for the
purpose of buying or carrying any part of an investment contract security, (ii)
paying for postsecondary educational expenses (i.e., tuition, fees, required
equipment or supplies, or room and board) at a college/university/vocational
school, as the term "postsecondary educational expenses" is defined
in Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. §
1026.46(b)(3), or (iii) engaging in any illegal activity or gambling, and you
warrant, represent and agree that you will not use the proceeds of any loan for
such purposes. You must be an owner of the deposit account you designate for
electronic transfers of funds, with authority to direct that loan payments be
made from the account. Your designated account will be the account from which
loan payments will be made. Although you are registering as a borrower member,
you may also register and participate on the Platform as an investor member. If
you participate on the Platform as an investor member, any amounts in your
Prosper funding account are subject to set-off against any delinquent amounts
owing on any loans you obtain as a Prosper borrower. You will not receive
further notice in advance of our exercising our right to set-off amounts in
your Prosper funding account against any delinquent amounts owing on any loans
you obtain. If you obtain a loan and fail to pay your loan in full, whether due
to default, bankruptcy or other reasons, you will not be eligible to submit any
further listings or re-register with Prosper as a borrower or investor member.
We may in our sole discretion, with or without cause and with or without
notice, restrict your access to the Prosper website or Platform.
11. Authority. You warrant and represent that
you have the legal competence and capacity to execute and perform this
Agreement.
12. Termination of Registration. Prosper may, in its sole discretion, with or without cause,
terminate this Agreement at any time by giving you notice as provided below. In
addition, upon our determination that you committed fraud or made a material
misrepresentation in connection with a listing, investor commitment or loan,
performed any prohibited activity, or otherwise failed to abide by the terms of
this Agreement or the Prosper Terms and Conditions, we may, in our sole
discretion, immediately and without notice, take one or more of the following
actions: (i) terminate or suspend your right to
submit listings or otherwise participate on the Platform; or (ii) terminate
this Agreement and your registration with Prosper. Upon termination of this
Agreement and your registration with Prosper, any listings you have submitted
through the Platform shall be cancelled, and will be removed from the Platform
immediately. Any loans you obtain prior to the effective date of termination
resulting from listings you had placed on the Platform shall remain in full
force and effect in accordance with their terms.
13. Prosper's Right to Modify
Terms. Prosper has the right to change any term or provision of this
Agreement or the Prosper Terms and Conditions. Prosper will give you notice of
material changes to this Agreement, or the Prosper Terms and Conditions, in the
manner set forth in Section 15. You authorize us to correct obvious clerical
errors appearing in information you provide to us, without notice to you,
although we expressly undertake no obligation to identify or correct such
errors. This Agreement, along with the Prosper Terms and Conditions, represents
the entire agreement between you and Prosper regarding your participation as a
borrower on the Platform, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
communications, promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic,
between you and Prosper with respect to your involvement as a borrower on the Platform.
14. Member Web Page Display and Content. You
may, but are not required to, maintain a "Prosper member web page" on
the Prosper website, where you can post content, logos or links to websites. If
you elect to do so, you authorize us to display on the Prosper website all such
material you provide. Any material you display on your member page must conform
to the Prosper Terms and Conditions, and material you display or link to must
not (i) infringe on Prosper's
or any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other
proprietary rights or right of publicity or privacy; (ii) violate any
applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation; (iii) be defamatory or
libelous; (iv) be lewd, hateful, violent, pornographic or obscene; (v) violate
any laws regarding unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false
advertising; (vi) promote violence or contain hate speech; or (vii) contain
viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other similar harmful or deleterious
programming routines. You may not include or display any personally identifying
information of any Prosper member on your Prosper member web page or elsewhere
on the Prosper website, including, without limitation, any Prosper member's
name, address, phone number, email address, Social Security number, driver's
license number, bank account number or credit card number.

(d) We will pay all filing and administration fees charged
by the administrator and arbitrator fees up to $1,000, and we will consider
your request to pay any additional arbitration costs. If an arbitrator issues
an award in our favor, you will not be required to reimburse us for any fees we
have previously paid to the administrator or for which we are responsible. If
you receive an award from the arbitrator, we will reimburse you for any fees
paid by you to the administrator or arbitrator. Each party shall bear its own
attorney's, expert's and witness fees, which shall not be considered costs of
arbitration; however, if a statute gives you the right to recover these fees,
or fees paid to the administrator or arbitrator, then these statutory rights
will apply in arbitration.
(e) Any in-person arbitration hearing will be held in the
city with the federal district court closest to your residence, or in such
other location as you and we may mutually agree. The arbitrator shall apply
applicable substantive law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9
U.S.C. § 1-16, and, if requested by either party, provide written reasoned
findings of fact and conclusions of law. The arbitrator shall have the power to
award any relief authorized under applicable law. Any appropriate court may
enter judgment upon the arbitrator's award. The arbitrator's decision will be
final and binding except that: (1) any party may exercise any appeal right
under the FAA; and (2) any party may appeal any award relating to a claim for
more than $100,000 to a three-arbitrator panel appointed by the administrator,
which will reconsider de novo any aspect of the appealed award. The panel's
decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA.
Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the appealing party will pay the
appeal's cost, regardless of its outcome. However, we will consider any
reasonable written request by you for us to bear the cost.
(f) YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE
OTHER ONLY IN OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER
IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you
and we agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than
one person's claims. The arbitrator shall have no power to arbitrate any Claims
on a class action basis or Claims brought in a purported representative
capacity on behalf of the general public, other borrowers, or other persons
similarly situated. The validity and effect of this paragraph (f) shall be
determined exclusively by a court, and not by the administrator or any
arbitrator.
(g) If any portion of this Section 22 is deemed invalid or
unenforceable for any reason, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of
this section. However, if paragraph (f) of this Section 22 is deemed invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part, then this entire Section 22 shall be deemed
invalid and unenforceable. The terms of this Section 22 will prevail if there
is any conflict between the Rules and this section.
(h) YOU AND WE AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS
AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO
PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ARBITRATION WILL
LIMIT OUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, THE
RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT FULL DISCOVERY, AND THE RIGHT TO
APPEAL (EXCEPT AS PERMITTED IN PARAGRAPH (e) OR UNDER THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION
ACT).
(i) You understand that you may
reject the provisions of this Section 22, in which case neither us nor you will
have the right to elect arbitration. Rejection of this Section 22 will not
affect the remaining parts of this Agreement. To reject this Section 22, you
must send us written notice of your rejection within 30 days after the date
that this Agreement was made. You must include your name, address, and account
number. The notice of rejection must be mailed to Prosper Marketplace, Inc.,
221 Main Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105, Attention:
Legal Department. This is the only way that you can reject this Section 22.
(j) You and we acknowledge and agree that the arbitration
agreement set forth in this Section 22 is made pursuant to a transaction
involving interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act shall
govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 22. This Section 22
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
23. Electronic Transactions. This Agreement includes your express
consent to electronic transactions and disclosures, which consent is set forth
in the section entitled "Consent to Doing Business Electronically" as
disclosed in our Terms
of Use on our website, the terms and
conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein in their entirety. You
expressly agree that each of (a) this Agreement and (b) any Promissory Note in
the form set forth on the attached Exhibit A that we sign on your behalf, may
comprise a "transferable record" for all purposes under the
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act.

that number or numbers about your Prosper accounts. Your consent allows
us to use text messaging, artificial or prerecorded voice messages and
automatic dialing technology, for all purposes not prohibited by applicable
law. Message and data rates may apply. You may contact us anytime to change

vendors, and anyone so affiliated with the owner of any note evidencing a loan
you obtain. Notify us immediately of any changes to your contact information by
changing your contact information on your Prosper account information –
settings page.
25. Power of Attorney and Note Registrar. If your listing receives sufficient
investor commitments to fund, and you do not withdraw your listing prior to
expiration of the listing period, you hereby authorize each of Prosper and PMI
to act as your Attorney-in-Fact to execute a Promissory Note in the form set
forth on the attached Exhibit A on your behalf in favor of Bank. You further appoint Prosper as your
authorized agent (in such capacity the “Note Registrar”) to maintain a
book-entry system (the “Register”) identifying the owners of such Promissory
Note and the owners’ addresses and payment instructions. The person or persons
identified as owners of such Promissory Note in the Register shall be deemed to
be the owner(s) of the Promissory Note for purposes of receiving payment of principal
and interest on such Promissory Note and for all other purposes. Any transfer
of such Promissory Note shall be effective only upon being recorded in the
Register. The Note Registrar may retain the services of another party to
fulfill its duties as Note Registrar. The Note Registrar’s recordkeeping
obligations will be unaffected by any transfers of the Promissory Note.
________________________________________
EXHIBIT A
Promissory Note
Loan ID: ____________
Borrower Address:
______________________________________________.
1. Promise to Pay.
In return for a loan I have received, I promise to pay WebBank
(“you”) the principal sum of ___________________ Dollars ($__________),
together with interest thereon commencing on the date of origination at the
rate of ____ percent (___%) per annum simple interest. I understand that
references in this Promissory Note (“Note”) to you shall also include any
person to whom you transfer this Note.
2. Payments. This
Note is payable in ___ monthly installments of $___________ each, consisting of
principal and interest, commencing on the ________ day of _____________, and
continuing until the final payment date of __________________, which is the
maturity date of this Note. Each of the monthly installment payments described
above may include unpaid principal, interest, late charges, or other fees I
have outstanding or incurred, which may cause my monthly payment amount to vary
from that stated above. The final payment shall consist of the then remaining
principal, unpaid accrued interest and other charges due under this Note. All
payments will be applied first to any unpaid fees incurred as a result of
failed payments, as provided in Paragraph 11; then to any charges for making
payments other than as provided in this Note; then to any late charges then
due; then to any interest then due; and then to principal. No unpaid interest
or charges will be added to principal.
3. Interest. Interest
will be charged on unpaid principal until the full amount of principal has been
paid. Interest under this Note will accrue daily, on the basis of a 365-day
year. Because of the daily accrual of interest and the effect of rounding, my
final payment may be more or less than my regular payment. I acknowledge that,
if I make my payments after the scheduled due date, this Note will not amortize
as originally scheduled, which may result in a substantially higher monthly or final
payment amount. The interest rate I will pay will be the rate I will pay both
before and after any default.
4. Late Charge. If
the full amount of any monthly payment is not made by the end of fifteen (15)
calendar days after its due date, I will pay you a late charge of the greater
of $15 or 5.00% of the late payment. I will pay this late charge when it is
assessed but only once on each late payment.
5. Waiver of Defenses;
Exception to Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Note, you are not
responsible or liable to me for the quality, safety, legality, or any other
aspect of any property or services purchased with the proceeds of my loan. If I
have a dispute with any person from whom I have purchased such property or
services, I agree to settle the dispute directly with that person.
I further certify that, to my knowledge, the proceeds of my
loan will not be applied in whole or part to purchase property or services from
any person to whom any interest in this Note may be assigned. If,
notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any person from whom I have purchased
such property acquires any interest in this Note, then Paragraph 5 will not
apply to the extent of that person's interest, even if that person later
assigns that person's interest to another person.
6. Certification.
I certify that the proceeds of my loan will not be applied in whole or in part
to postsecondary educational expenses (i.e., tuition, fees, required equipment
or supplies, or room and board) at a college/university/vocational school, as
the term “postsecondary educational expenses” is defined in Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. § 1026.46(b)(3). ’’
7. Method of Payment.
I will pay the principal, interest, and any late charges or other fees on this
Note when due. Those amounts are called “payments,” “monthly payments,”
“monthly installments,” or “monthly installment payments” in this Note. To
ensure that my payments are processed in a timely and efficient manner, you
have given me the choice of making my monthly payments (i)
by automated withdrawal from an account that I designate using an automated
clearinghouse (ACH) or other electronic fund transfer, or (ii) by manually
scheduled one-time withdrawals from an account that I designate using an ACH or
other electronic fund transfer, made by logging onto my account on the Prosper
website or by calling Prosper Borrower Services at (866) 615-6319, with my first
payment being scheduled during the application process; and I have chosen one
of these methods.
I also understand that I may pay my monthly payments by
check. If I have chosen to pay by
check by calling Prosper Borrower Services at (866) 615-6319 and arranging such
method of payment, I will make the check payable to Prosper Funding LLC and
send the payment check to Prosper Marketplace, Inc., P.O. Box 396081, San
Francisco, CA 94139-6081 in a manner so as to ensure its receipt on or before
my monthly payment due date. To ensure
efficient processing of my check, I will reference my loan number on the check.
If I close my account or if my account changes or is
otherwise inaccessible such that you are unable to withdraw my payments from
that account or process my check, I will notify you at least three (3) days
prior to any such closure, change or inaccessibility of my account, and
authorize you to withdraw my payments, or I will provide a check, from another
account that I designate.
With regard to payments made by automatic withdrawals from
my account, I have the right to (i) stop payment of a
preauthorized automatic withdrawal, or (ii) revoke my prior authorization for
automatic withdrawals with regard to all further payments under this Note, by
notifying the financial institution where my account is held, orally or in
writing at least three (3) business days before the scheduled date of the
transfer. I agree to notify you orally or in writing, at least three (3)
business days before the scheduled date of the transfer, of the exercise of my
right to stop a payment or to revoke my prior authorization for further
automatic withdrawals.
8. Default and
Remedies. If I fail to make any payment when due in the manner required by
Paragraph 7, I will be delinquent. If I (a) am delinquent, (b) file or
have instituted against me a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or make any
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (c) in the event of my death, you
may in your sole discretion deem me in default and accelerate the maturity of
this Note and declare all principal, interest and other charges due under this
Note immediately due and payable. If you deem me in default due to delinquency
and if you exercise the remedy of acceleration, you will give me at least
thirty (30) days prior notice of acceleration.
9. Prepayments. I
may prepay this Note in full or in part at any time without penalty. I acknowledge that partial prepayments will
not change the due date or amount of my monthly payment.
10. Waivers. You
may accept late payments or partial payments, even though marked “paid in full,”
without losing any rights under this Note, and you may delay enforcing any of
your rights under this Note without losing them. You do not have to (a) demand
payment of amounts due (known as “presentment”), (b) give notice that amounts
due have not been paid (known as “notice of dishonor”), or (c) obtain an
official certification of nonpayment (known as “protest”). I hereby waive
presentment, notice of dishonor and protest. Even if, at a time when I am in
default, you do not require me to pay immediately in full as described above,
you will still have the right to do so if I am in default at a later time.
Neither your failure to exercise any of your rights, nor your delay in
enforcing or exercising any of your rights, will waive those rights.
Furthermore, if you waive any right under this Note on one occasion, that
waiver will not operate as a waiver as to any other occasion.
11. Insufficient
Funds Charge. If I attempt to make a payment, whether by automated
withdrawal from my designated account or by other means, and the payment cannot
be made due to (i) insufficient funds in my account,
(ii) the closure, change or inaccessibility of my account without my having
notified you as provided in Paragraph 7, or (iii) for any other reason (other
than an error by you), I will pay you an additional fee of $15 for each
returned or failed automated withdrawal or other item, unless prohibited by
applicable law. I will pay this fee when
it is assessed.
12. Attorneys’ Fees.
To the extent permitted by law, I am liable to you for your legal costs if you
refer collection of my loan to a lawyer who is not your salaried employee.
These costs may include reasonable attorneys’ fees as well as costs and
expenses of any legal action.
13. Loan Charges.
If a law that applies to my loan and sets maximum loan charges is finally
interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be
collected in connection with my loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (a) any
such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge
to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already collected from me that
exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. You may choose to make this
refund by reducing the principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct
payment to me.
14. Assignment. I
may not assign any of my obligations under this Note without your written
permission. You may assign this Note at any time without my permission. Unless
prohibited by applicable law, you may do so without telling me. My obligations
under this Note apply to all of my heirs and permitted assigns. Your rights
under this Note apply to each of your successors and assigns.
15. Notices. All
notices and other communications hereunder shall be given in writing and shall
be deemed to have been duly given and effective (i)
upon receipt, if delivered in person or by facsimile, email or other electronic
transmission, or (ii) one day after deposit prepaid for overnight delivery with
a national overnight express delivery service. Except as expressly provided
otherwise in this Note, notices to me may be addressed to my registered email
address or to my address set forth above unless I provide you with a different
address for notice by giving notice pursuant to this Paragraph, and notices to
you must be addressed to WebBank at [email protected]
or c/o Prosper Marketplace, Inc., 221 Main Street, Third Floor, San Francisco,
CA 94105, Attention: Legal Department.
16. Governing Law.
This Note is governed by federal law and, to the extent that state law applies,
the laws of the State of Utah.
17. Miscellaneous.
No provision of this Note shall be modified or limited except by a written
agreement signed by both you and me. The unenforceability of any provision of
this Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other
provision of this Note.
18. Arbitration. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES: I HAVE READ THIS
PROVISION CAREFULLY, AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT LIMITS MY RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A
DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS
PROVISION, AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH (i) BELOW.
(a) In this Resolution of Disputes provision:
(i) “I,” “me” and “my” mean the
promisor under this Note, as well as any person claiming through such promisor;
(ii) “You” and “your” mean WebBank,
any person servicing this Note for WebBank, any
subsequent holders of this Note or any interest in this Note, any person
servicing this Note for such subsequent holder of this note, and each of their
respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, and
assigns, as well as the officers, directors, and employees of each of them; and
(iii) “Claim” means any dispute, claim, or controversy
(whether based on contract, tort, intentional tort, constitution, statute,
ordinance, common law, or equity, whether pre-existing, present, or future, and
whether seeking monetary, injunctive, declaratory, or any other relief) arising
from or relating to this Note or the relationship between you and me (including
claims arising prior to or after the date of the Note, and claims that are
currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which I am not a
member of a certified class), and includes claims that are brought as
counterclaims, cross claims, third party claims or otherwise, as well as
disputes about the validity or enforceability of this Note or the validity or
enforceability of this Section
(b) Any Claim shall be resolved, upon the election of either
you or me, by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration
Association or JAMS, under the applicable arbitration rules of the administrator
in effect at the time a Claim is filed (“Rules”). Any arbitration under this arbitration agreement will take place on an
individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. If
I file a claim, I may choose the administrator; if you file a claim, you may
choose the administrator, but you agree to change to the other permitted
administrator at my request (assuming that the other administrator is
available). I can obtain the Rules and other information about initiating arbitration
by contacting the American Arbitration Association at 1633 Broadway, 10th
Floor, New York, NY 10019, (800) 778-7879, www.adr.org; or by contacting JAMS
at 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92614, (949) 224-1810,
www.jamsadr.com. Your address for serving any arbitration demand or claim is WebBank, c/o Prosper Marketplace, Inc., 221 Main Street, Third
Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, Attention: Legal
Department.
(c) Claims will be arbitrated by a single, neutral
arbitrator, who shall be a retired judge or a lawyer with at least ten years’
experience. You agree not to invoke your right to elect arbitration of an
individual Claim filed by me in a small claims or similar court (if any), so long as the Claim is pending on an individual basis only
in such court.
(d) You will pay all filing and administration fees charged
by the administrator and arbitrator fees up to $1,000, and you will consider my
request to pay any additional arbitration costs. If an arbitrator issues an
award in your favor, I will not be required to reimburse you for any fees you
have previously paid to the administrator or for which you are responsible. If
I receive an award from the arbitrator, you will reimburse me for any fees paid
by me to the administrator or arbitrator. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s,
expert’s and witness fees, which shall not be considered costs of arbitration;
however, if a statute gives me the right to recover these fees, or fees paid to
the administrator or arbitrator, then these statutory rights will apply in
arbitration.
(e) Any in-person arbitration hearing will be held in the
city with the federal district court closest to my residence, or in such other
location as you and we may mutually agree. The arbitrator shall apply
applicable substantive law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9
U.S.C. § 1-16, and, if requested by either party, provide written reasoned
findings of fact and conclusions of law. The arbitrator shall have the power to
award any relief authorized under applicable law. Any appropriate court may
enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. The arbitrator’s decision will be
final and binding except that: (1) any party may exercise any appeal right
under the FAA; and (2) any party may appeal any award relating to a claim for
more than $100,000 to a three-arbitrator panel appointed by the administrator,
which will reconsider de novo any aspect of the appealed award. The panel’s
decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA.
Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the appealing party will pay the appeal’s
cost, regardless of its outcome. However, you will consider any reasonable
written request by me for you to bear the cost.
(f) YOU AND I AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE
OTHER ONLY IN OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER
IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you
and I agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than
one person’s claims. The arbitrator shall have no power to arbitrate any Claims
on a class action basis or Claims brought in a purported representative
capacity on behalf of the general public, other borrowers, or other persons
similarly situated. The validity and effect of this paragraph (f) shall be
determined exclusively by a court, and not by the administrator or any
arbitrator.
(g) If any portion of this Section 18 is deemed invalid or
unenforceable for any reason, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of
this section. However, if paragraph (f) of this Section 18 is deemed invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part, then this entire Section 18 shall be deemed
invalid and unenforceable. The terms of this Section 18 will prevail if there
is any conflict between the Rules and this section.
(h) YOU AND I AGREE
THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS NOTE, THE PARTIES ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
ARBITRATION WILL LIMIT OUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN
A CLASS ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT FULL DISCOVERY,
AND THE RIGHT TO APPEAL (EXCEPT AS PERMITTED IN PARAGRAPH (e) OR UNDER THE
FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT).
(i) I understand that I may reject
the provisions of this Section 18, in which case neither you nor I will have
the right to elect arbitration. Rejection of this Section 18 will not affect
the remaining parts of this Note. To reject this Section 18, I must send you
written notice of my rejection within 30 days after the date that this Note was
made. I must include my name, address, and account number. The notice of
rejection must be mailed to WebBank, c/o Prosper
Marketplace, Inc., 221 Main Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, Attention:
Legal Department. This is the only way that I can reject this Section 18.
(j) You and I acknowledge and agree that the arbitration
agreement set forth in this Section 18 is made pursuant to a transaction
involving interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act shall
govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 18. This Section 18
shall survive the termination of this Note and the repayment of any or all
amounts borrowed thereunder.
19. Electronic
Transactions. THIS NOTE INCLUDES YOUR EXPRESS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC
TRANSACTIONS AND DISCLOSURES, WHICH CONSENT IS SET FORTH IN THE PARAGRAPH
ENTITLED “CONSENT TO DOING BUSINESS ELECTRONICALLY” AS DISCLOSED IN PROSPER’S

of Note Owners. I have appointed Prosper Funding LLC as my authorized
agent (in such capacity, the “Note Registrar”) to maintain a book-entry system (the
“Register”) for recording the beneficial owners of interests in this Note (the “Note
Owners”). The person or persons identified as the Note Owners in the
Register shall be deemed to be the owner(s) of this Note for purposes of
receiving payment of principal and interest on such Note and for all other purposes. With respect to any transfer by a Note Owner
of its beneficial interest in this Note, the right to payment of principal and
interest on this Note shall not be effective until the transfer is recorded in
the Register.
