Loan Funding related to Direct Marketing Programs

For loans listed on the platform as a result of direct marketing efforts, we have committed to invest in such loans if investors do not provide funding for all or a portion of such loans. All loan listings obtained from direct marketing campaigns that were on the platform as of December 31, 2013 were fully funded by investors.

Contingencies

Credit Support Agreement

We are subject to a Credit Support Agreement with a Certificate investor. The Credit Support Agreement requires us to pledge and restrict cash in support of its contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for credit losses on Loans underlying the investor’s Certificate, that are in excess of a specified, aggregate loss threshold. LC is contingently obligated to pledge cash, not to exceed $5.0 million, to support this contingent obligation and which cash balance is premised upon the investor’s Certificate purchase volume. As of December 31, 2013, approximately $3.4 million was pledged and restricted to support this contingent obligation.

As of December 31, 2013, the credit losses pertaining to the investor’s Certificate have not exceeded the specified threshold, nor are future credit losses expected to exceed the specified threshold, and thus no expense or liability has been recorded. We currently do not anticipate recording losses resulting from its contingent obligation under this Credit Support Agreement. If losses related to the Credit Support Agreement are later determined to be likely to occur and are estimable, results of operations could be affected in the period in which such losses are recorded.

Legal

We may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, we do not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
