2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lender, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advance and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.1.1 Term Loan Advance.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the date that all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 have been met, Lender shall make one term loan advance to Borrower in an aggregate original principal amount equal to Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00) (the “Term Loan Advance”).

(b) Repayment. The Term Loan Advance shall be “interest-only” until the Term Loan Maturity Date, with interest due and payable in accordance with Section 2.2(c) hereof. The Term Loan Advance, including all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan Advance, the Terminal Payment and all other outstanding Obligations under the Term Loan Advance, shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. After repayment or prepayment, the Term Loan Advance may not be reborrowed.

(c) Prepayment.

(i) Voluntary. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all or any part of the Term Loan Advance, provided Borrower (i) delivers written notice to Lender of its election to prepay the Term Loan Advance at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) the outstanding principal to be prepaid plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan Advance, (B) solely if such prepayment is in connection with a Change of Control, the Terminal Payment and (C) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Term Loan Advance, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

(ii) Involuntary. If the Term Loan Advance is accelerated by Lender following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender an amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan Advance, (ii) solely if such acceleration is following a Change of Control, the Terminal Payment and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Term Loan Advance, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

2.2 Payments of Interest.

(a) Interest Rates. The principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Advance shall accrue interest at a fixed rate equal to the Interest Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.2(c) below.

(b) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is three percent (3.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”) unless Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to impose a smaller increase. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Lender Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.2(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.

(c) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly on each Payment Date and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of the Term Loan Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if the Term Loan Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Term Loan Advance.

2.3 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender:

(a) Terminal Payment. The Terminal Payment, when due hereunder.

(b) Origination Fee. In consideration of Lender making of the Term Loan Advance, the Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall be entitled to receive an origination fee equal to 3.0% of the amount of the Term Loan, which origination fee shall be earned on the Term Loan Advance Date and paid by the Borrower by deduction from the proceeds of the Term Loan Advance.

(c) Lender Expenses. All Lender Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Term Loan Advance Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, upon demand by Lender).

2.4 Payments; Application of Payments.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b) Lender has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Lender shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Lender or otherwise received by Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

2.5 Withholding. Payments received by Lender from Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto). Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Lender, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Lender receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower will, upon request, furnish Lender with proof reasonably satisfactory to Lender indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower. The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Borrower has no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Lender in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Lender notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Lender a perfected security interest therein to the extent required by Section 6.5.

To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License.

Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any applicable laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally.

Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

5.9 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Term Loan Advance solely to repay existing Indebtedness and as working capital and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

5.10 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Lender, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Lender, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not materially misleading (it being recognized by Lender that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

5.11 Definition of “Knowledge.” For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of” Borrower’s knowledge, or with a similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of the Responsible Officers.

(b) Obtain all of the Governmental Approvals necessary for the performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the grant of a security interest to Lender in all of its property.

(c) Provide written notice to Lender within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Borrower and Guarantors shall take such steps as Lender reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) any Restricted License to be deemed “Collateral” and for Lender to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Lender to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

6.7 Litigation Cooperation. From the Term Loan Advance Date and continuing through the termination of this Agreement, make available to Lender, without expense to Lender, Borrower, Guarantors and their officers, employees and agents and Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s books and records, to the extent that Lender may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute or defend any third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against Lender with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower or Guarantors.

6.8 Access to Collateral; Books and Records. Allow Lender, or its agents, at reasonable times, on one (1) Business Days’ notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect the Collateral and audit and copy Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s Books. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense; provided, that Lender shall not conduct more than one such inspection at borrower’s expense during any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

6.9 Formation or Acquisition of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding and without limiting the negative covenants contained in Sections 7.3 and 7.7 hereof, at the time that Borrower or any Guarantor forms any direct or indirect Subsidiary or acquires any direct or indirect Subsidiary after the Effective Date, Borrower and such Guarantor shall, upon Lender’s request, (a) cause such new Subsidiary to provide to Lender a joinder to this Agreement to become a co-borrower hereunder or a Guaranty to become a Guarantor hereunder, together with such appropriate financing statements and/or Control Agreements (at Lender’s request), all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (including being sufficient to grant Lender a second priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired Subsidiary), (b) provide to Lender appropriate certificates and powers and financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in such new Subsidiary, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; and (c) provide to Lender all other documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, including one or more opinions of counsel satisfactory to Lender, which in its opinion is appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above; provided that, any Person who guarantees any Indebtedness incurred by Borrower pursuant to any Senior Debt shall be required to become a Guarantor hereunder.

9 LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues, Lender, in accordance with the Subordination Agreement, may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lender;

(c) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lender’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Lender requests and make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Lender a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;

(e) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit;

(g) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Lender and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(h) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and

(i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Lender is under no further obligation to make Term Loan Advances hereunder. Lender’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide Term Loan Advances terminates.

9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.4 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lender are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable and secured by the Collateral. Lender will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Lender obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. If Lender, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Lender of cash therefor.

9.5 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with reasonable practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lender, Lender shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which Borrower is liable.

New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower, Lender each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York, New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Lender. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver.

2. Creditor subordinates to Bank any Lien that Creditor may, from time to time, have in any Collateral. Notwithstanding any contrary priority established by (i) the manner, timing or order of attachment or perfection of the Liens granted to Creditor and Bank, including the filing dates of their respective financing statements, (ii) the recording dates of any other security perfection documents, or (iii) possession, or control, of any of the Collateral, the Liens of Bank in the Collateral, shall at all times be prior and senior to the Liens of Creditor. The relative priorities specified herein are absolute and unconditional and are expressly not conditioned upon the non-avoidability or perfection of the Lien to which another Lien is subordinated. Each of the parties hereto consents to the debt and Liens held by the other in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that, until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, the debt and Liens of the Creditor shall at all times be subordinated to the Senior Debt and Liens of the Bank and that the Collateral encumbered by any Liens in favor of the Creditor shall also be encumbered by Liens in favor of the Bank. Each Lender agrees, subject to the terms hereof, that it will not (and hereby waives any right to), directly or indirectly, contest or support any person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding), the priority, validity, or the enforceability of a Lien held by the other Lender in the Collateral, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement against the other Lender.

3. All Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment and priority to all Senior Debt.

4. Creditor will not demand nor receive from Borrower or any Guarantor (and Borrower and any Guarantor will not pay to Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will Creditor take any Enforcement Action against any Collateral, Borrower, or any Guarantor, for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains outstanding or Bank has any obligation to extend credit to any Borrower, provided, however, that Creditor may, subject to this Section 4 and Section 5 hereof, receive Permitted Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Creditor may take Enforcement Action after one hundred fifty (150) days has elapsed (the “Standstill Period”) since the date on which Bank received a Creditor Default and Enforcement Notice. In the event that during or after the Standstill Period Bank has commenced an Enforcement Action or an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced, then such Standstill Period shall be extended or revived indefinitely during the continuation of such proceedings and actions until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full.

5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (under and as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement and (ii) written notice thereof to Creditor from Bank (a “Payment Blockage Notice”), Creditor shall not take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any remedy with respect to Borrower, or any Guarantor or Collateral, nor receive any payment from Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of any Subordinated Debt during each period (each a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of delivery of the Payment Blockage Notice and ending on the earliest to occur of the following events:

(a) such Event of Default has been cured or has been waived by Bank in writing, in its sole and absolute discretion;

(b) one hundred fifty (150) days have passed from the date of such Payment Blockage Notice; provided, however, that (i) if, prior to the expiration of such one hundred fifty (150) day period, (A) Bank has commenced an Enforcement Action, or (B) an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or Guarantor, the Payment Blockage Period shall be automatically extended during the continuance of such actions or proceedings or (ii) subject to clause (i) above, if there is a payment default relating to the Senior Debt, then such period shall be extended until Bank has confirmed in writing to Creditor that all past due payments (including accelerated payments) owed to Bank have been paid in full in cash or the waiver of such default; or

(c) the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full and all obligations of Bank to extend credit to Borrower has terminated.

Immediately after expiration of a Payment Blockage Period, Creditor may accept and Borrower may make all Permitted Payments due and owing to Creditor, unless such payment would cause an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents. In no event shall Bank issue Payment Blockage Notices during the term of this Agreement for defaults which do not involve a failure to make a payment of Senior Debt for more than one hundred fifty (150) days in the aggregate for any consecutive period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (provided that any Payment Blockage Notices sent as a result of (i) an Event of Default resulting from a payment default under the Senior Loan Documents, or (ii) Creditor delivering a Creditor Default and Enforcement Notice to Bank shall be excluded from such limitation); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the event that prior to the expiration of any Payment Blockage Period or Standstill Period Bank has commenced an Enforcement Action or an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced, then such period shall be extended during the continuation of such proceedings and actions until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full.

6. Notwithstanding the imposition of any Standstill Period or Payment Blockage Period, Creditor may, during the existence and continuance of any Subordinated Event of Default, and in accordance with the terms thereof, (a) take action for non-payment of the Subordinated Debt for the purposes of obtaining a monetary judgment in respect thereof, provided that (i) no measure is taken to enforce any judgment granted in such action, (ii) such action would not have the effect of providing Creditor the right to receive payment of the Subordinated Debt prior to the Senior Debt being Paid in Full, and (iii) that such action shall not contest the priority set out in this Agreement or otherwise have the effect of providing the Creditor Liens priority over the Bank Liens, (b) take action as required to preserve the validity, efficacy or priority of the Subordinated Debt and the Creditor Liens, provided that such action shall not contest the priority set out in this Agreement or otherwise have the effect of providing the Creditor Liens priority over the Bank Liens, (c) take action for conversion of any non-fixed charge to a fixed charge to the extent applicable under the Creditor’s security, and (d) give notice of default, demand for payment or acceleration of the Subordinated Debt or similar notices to Borrower.

7. Creditor shall promptly deliver to Bank in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by Creditor where required by Bank) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement.

8. (a) In the event of an Insolvency Proceeding of the Borrower, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Bank’s claims against Borrower and the estate of Borrower shall be Paid in Full before any payment is made to Creditor, and this Agreement shall be considered to be a “subordination agreement” under Section 510 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, and all references herein to Borrower shall apply to the trustee for the Borrower and any such Borrower as a debtor-in-possession.

(b) In the event and during the continuation of any Insolvency Proceeding, the Creditor shall not object to or oppose any cash collateral order approved by the Bank (or to which Bank does not object) or to the provision of any debtor-in-possession financing provided or approved by Bank (“DIP Financing”), even if secured (with or without any pre-petition Senior Debt) by senior Liens on the property of Borrower (and to the extent such debtor-in-possession financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari-passu with, the Lien securing the pre-petition Senior Debt, the Creditor will subordinate the Liens securing the Subordinated Debt to such Liens securing the DIP Financing and the pre-petition Senior Debt), provided (i) the interest rate, fees, advance rates and lending limits are commercially reasonable under the circumstances, (ii) such order or financing is not inconsistent with this Agreement, (iii) Creditor otherwise retains its Liens on the Collateral on substantially the same terms as in effect as of the date hereof, and (iv) the aggregate principal amount of loans and letter of credit obligations that could be outstanding under any such DIP Financing, together with the outstanding principal amount of the pre-petition Senior Debt that is outstanding (immediately after giving effect to any payment thereof with the proceeds of any such DIP Financing), shall not exceed 115% of the cap on the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Debt set forth in the definition of Senior Debt.

(c) The Creditor may seek adequate protection of its interest in Collateral securing the Subordinated Debt in the form of replacement Liens on post-petition collateral of the same type as the collateral securing the pre-petition Subordinated Debt so long as the Bank has been granted replacement Liens on such collateral securing the pre-petition Senior Debt (but the failure to obtain adequate protection shall not affect the agreements of the Creditor hereunder). The Creditor agrees that it shall not contest or support any other person contesting any request by Senior Creditor for such Liens. Nor shall the Creditor oppose any request by the Bank for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding, provided that if the stay is lifted with respect to the Senior Debt, then the Bank agrees not to oppose a motion by the Creditor to lift the automatic stay to take any action permitted to be taken by the Creditor hereunder.

9. Until such time as the Senior Debt is Paid in Full and Bank no longer has any obligation to extend credit to Borrower, Creditor irrevocably appoints Bank as Creditor’s attorney in fact, and grants to Bank a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of Creditor or in the name of Bank, for the use and benefit of Bank, without notice to Creditor, to perform at Bank’s option the following acts in any Insolvency Proceeding involving Borrower:

(a) to file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of Creditor if Creditor does not do so prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if Bank elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims; and

(b) To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of Creditor and to otherwise vote Creditor’s claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt if Creditor does not do so prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to do so, in any manner that Bank deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder; provided that Creditor shall not accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise vote its claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt, unless such plan either (i) results in the Senior Debt being Paid in Full, or (ii) is agreed to by the Bank.

10. Until such time as the Senior Debt is Paid in Full and Bank no longer has any obligation to extend credit to Borrower, Creditor agrees that it will not object to or oppose (i) the sale of the Borrower, or any Guarantor or (ii) the sale or other disposition of any property of the Borrower or any Guarantor, if, in each case, Bank has consented to such sale of the Borrower or any Guarantor or sale or disposition of any property of the Borrower or any Guarantor, and whether or not such sale is conducted under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code as amended. If requested by Bank, Creditor shall affirmatively consent to such sale or disposition and shall take all necessary actions and execute such documents and instruments as Bank may reasonably request in connection with and to facilitate such sale or disposition including, but not limited to, releasing any security interests held by Creditor in such property and filing any terminations of security interests of Creditor in such property. If Creditor fails to take such actions within five (5) days of Bank’s request, Creditor irrevocably appoints Bank as Creditor’s attorney in fact, and grants to Bank a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of Creditor or in the name of Bank, for the use and benefit of Bank, without notice to Creditor, to perform at Bank’s option to take such actions. Furthermore, Creditor agrees to cooperate with Bank and to take all actions that Bank may reasonable require to enable Bank to realize the full benefits of this Agreement.

11. Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise include a statement to that effect in the Subordinated Loan Agreement. No amendment of the Subordinated Loan Documents shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the Liens that Creditor may have in any Collateral. Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of the Subordinated Loan Agreement and any Subordinated Loan Documents may not be amended or modified if the effect of such amendment or substitution is to: (a) increase any rate of cash interest or applicable cash interest rate margin related to the Subordinated Debt other than an increase of not more than three percentage points (3.00%) from the rate or margin as in effect on the date hereof, except in connection with the imposition of a default rate of interest in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Loan Documents as in effect on the date hereof and fluctuations in the base rate; (b) change the dates upon which payments of principal or interest are due on the Subordinated Debt other than to extend any such dates; (c) increase the outstanding principal amount of the loans or such other credit accommodations under the Subordinated Debt to a principal amount that would exceed the Subordinated Debt Cap; (d) make the terms (other than changes in principal and/or interest payments to the extent expressly permitted under this section), provisions covenants and/or events of default materially more restrictive on the Borrower than those in effect on the date of this Agreement (other than modifications or additions to reflect conforming changes made with respect to the corresponding provisions contained in the Senior Loan Documents, so long as any applicable set back or cushion is maintained) or (e) add collateral.

12. This Agreement shall remain effective until such time that the Senior Debt is Paid in Full and Bank no longer has any obligation to extend credit to Borrower. If, at any time after the Senior Debt is Paid in Full any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Bank for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of Borrower or any Guarantor), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and Creditor shall immediately pay over to Bank all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to Creditor, Bank may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as Bank, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to Borrower, increasing the principal amount (not to exceed the Senior Debt Cap), extending the time of payment, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any Collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against Borrower, Guarantor, or any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Bank acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of the Senior Loan Agreement and any Senior Loan Documents may not be amended or modified if the effect of such amendment or substitution is to increase any rate of cash interest or applicable cash interest rate margin related to the Senior Debt other than an increase of not more than three percentage points (3.00%) from the rate or margin as in effect on the date hereof, except in connection with the imposition of a default rate of interest in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents as in effect on the date hereof and fluctuations in the base rate. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Bank’s rights hereunder. Creditor waives the benefits, if any, of Civil Code sections 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2838, 2839, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.

13. Until the payment in full of Senior Debt, (i) the Bank shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust and settle any claim under any insurance policy covering the Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting any Collateral, (ii) all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) shall be paid to Bank pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents and after the payment in full of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, to Subordinated Creditor to the extent required under the Subordinated Loan Agreement, and (iii) if Creditor shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to Bank.

14. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, after the occurrence of any of the following: (i) acceleration by Bank of the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents or (ii) an Insolvency Proceeding has commenced (each a “Purchase Trigger Event”), Creditor shall have the option (but not the obligation) to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Senior Debt (including any DIP Financing provided by Bank) (the “Purchase Option”); provided that such Purchase Option shall expire if Creditor fails to deliver a written notice exercising the Purchase Option pursuant to this Agreement (the “Purchase Notice”) to Bank within twenty (20) days following the occurrence of a Purchase Trigger Event. The Purchase Notice, once delivered to Bank, shall be irrevocable. After the expiration of such twenty (20) day period (the “Notice Period”), Creditor shall not be entitled to send a Purchase Notice until the occurrence of a subsequent Purchase Trigger Event.

(b) Until (i) the delivery of a timely Purchase Notice within the Notice Period, (ii) after expiration of the Notice Period if Creditor has failed to deliver a Purchase Notice, and (iii) after Creditor has delivered a Purchase Notice within the Notice Period, but fails to consummate the purchase of the Senior Debt according to the terms hereof on or before the Purchase Date (as defined below), Bank shall be entitled to take an Enforcement Action. During the period commencing on the date a Purchase Notice is properly received by Bank and ending on the Purchase Date, Bank shall not take an Enforcement Action without the consent of Creditor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as Bank deems necessary, in the exercise of its good faith credit judgment, to protect and preserve the Senior Debt or Collateral.

(c) On the date (the “Purchase Date”) specified in the Purchase Notice (which shall not be less than fifteen (15) business days, nor more than twenty (20) business days, after the receipt by Bank of the Purchase Notice), subject to any required approval of any court or other governmental authority, Bank shall sell to Creditor, and Creditor shall purchase from Bank, without recourse, representation or warranty, the Senior Debt and assume all financing commitments and other duties, liabilities, and obligations of Bank under the Senior Loan Documents. Such purchase and sale shall be made pursuant to Bank’s standard sale and assignment agreement, but without recourse and without representation or warranty by Bank of any kind whatsoever, except that Bank shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the Senior Debt being purchased from Bank; (ii) that Bank owns the Senior Debt free and clear of any liens created by Bank; and (iii) Bank has the right to assign the Senior Debt; provided, however, that Bank shall retain its rights with respect to the indemnification obligations of Borrower under the Senior Loan Documents for all claims accrued or arising in respect of periods prior to the consummation of the purchase hereunder. Creditor shall have, and shall represent that it has, conducted, and that it shall be responsible for, its own independent due diligence necessary to evaluate the Senior Loan Documents and the Senior Debt, and such other due diligence, as it deems necessary or appropriate to complete the purchase of the Senior Debt.

(d) On the Purchase Date, Creditor shall:

(i) as the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”), pay to Bank, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to all outstanding Senior Debt as of the Purchase Date, at par, including, without limitation, principal (including principal above the Senior Debt Cap), end-of-term payments, prepayment premiums, break-funding or similar costs, interest, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limit, any attorneys’ fees and costs), and other obligations, liabilities or charges that accrue in respect of the Senior Debt);

(ii) furnish cash collateral (“Cash Collateral”) to Bank that is satisfactory to Bank (or make such other accommodations as are reasonably agreed between Bank and Creditor with respect to such obligations): (A) in an amount equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115.0%) of the face amount of all letters of credit issued by Bank upon the application of and/or for the account of Borrower or any Guarantor, plus all interest, reasonable fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), and (B) in an amount equal to Bank’s estimate (in its good faith business judgment) of the amount necessary to cover any credit exposure in respect of all treasury or cash management, ACH transactions or other bank services provided by it to Borrower or any Guarantor and any other contingent obligations (all of the foregoing in clause (A) and clause (B) being “Reimbursement Obligations”), to fully cash collateralize and secure such Reimbursement Obligations; and

(iii) remit the Purchase Price and Cash Collateral by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as Bank may specify.

(e) Creditor shall agree to pay or reimburse Bank for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) in connection with: any commissions, fees, costs or expenses related to any issued and outstanding letters of credit as described above and any checks or other payments provisionally credited to Bank and/or as to which Bank has not yet received final payment.

(f) If Creditor’s purchase of the Senior Debt hereunder fails to be consummated by the Purchase Date for any reason other than a breach by Bank of its obligations under this Purchase Option pursuant to this Section 13 or the purchase documents, then, (i) this Purchase Option shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, and Bank shall have no further obligation to Creditor with respect to the Purchase Option, and (ii) Bank may take Enforcement Action with respect to the Senior Debt and the Collateral and take such further actions as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents and this Agreement, and shall retain all rights and claims against Creditor resulting from such failure by Creditor to consummate the purchase of the Senior Debt.

(g) Creditor shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, agents, partners, members and employees (each an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any liability, claim, cost, loss, judgment, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees and expenses) that any Indemnitee incurs or suffers as a result of or arising out of (i) Creditor’s exercise of the Purchase Option; (ii) any action taken by Creditor with respect to the Senior Debt following the consummation of the purchase of the Senior Debt hereunder; or (iii) the breach of any of Creditor’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or the purchase documents, in each case, except to the extent such liability claim, cost, loss, judgment, damage or expense is the result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction or other tribunal.

(h) All Senior Debt in excess of the Senior Debt Cap shall continue to be secured by the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, and Bank shall retain all rights to receive payments (and to exercise its rights and remedies) in respect thereof, but only after the payment in full in cash of the Subordinated Debt.

(i) Borrower irrevocably consents to the existence of this Purchase Option and to any assignment effected pursuant thereto, and hereby agrees that no further consent from Borrower or any Guarantor or any other obligor shall be required. Furthermore, Borrower agrees to indemnify, release and hold Bank harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs, losses, judgments, damages or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees and expenses) incurred or suffered in connection with or as a result of any assignment or sale of the Senior Debt and/or any actions taken by Bank after exercise of the Purchase Option.

(j) Upon the consummation of a purchase and sale pursuant to the Purchase Option, Creditor (and not Bank) will thereafter be obligated pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents and responsible for the discharge and performance of all of the duties, responsibilities and obligations of Bank under the Senior Loan Documents, and Bank will thereafter be released from and discharged of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under or in connection with the Senior Debt and Senior Loan Documents.

15. This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of Bank, provided, however, Creditor agrees that, prior and as conditions precedent to Creditor assigning all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt: (a) Creditor shall give Bank prior written notice of such assignment, and (b) such successor or assignee, as applicable, shall execute a written agreement whereby such successor or assignee expressly agrees to assume and be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to Creditor. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Creditor and Bank and not for the benefit of Borrower or any other party. Creditor further agrees that if Borrower is in the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and if Bank makes a request of Creditor, Creditor shall agree to enter into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

16. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile, emailed portable document format (“pdf”), or tagged image file format (“tiff”) or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature of an authorized signer of such party shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this certificate, and shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile, emailed portable document format (“pdf”), or tagged image file format (“tiff”) or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature of an authorized signer of such party, also shall deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

17. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by facsimile to Bank, Creditor, or Borrower, as the case may be, at the address set forth below each party in its respective signature block. The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to receive notices hereunder, by notice in writing in the foregoing manner given to the other parties.

18. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS. CREDITOR, BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (I) CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT THEREOF, (II) AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR OTHERWISE CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL CLAIMS FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, SHALL SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY BE BROUGHT, HEARD, AND DETERMINED (LITIGATED) IN SUCH COURTS, (III) ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, (IV) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED UPON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO BRINGING OR MAINTAINING ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION, AND (V) AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY SUCH OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF BANK TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST, CREDITOR OR ITS PROPERTIES OR BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LIENS OR SECURITY INTERESTS IN FAVOR OF BANK ON ANY OF CREDITOR’S PROPERTIES OR ASSETS OR BORROWER’S PROPERTIES OR ASSETS.

19. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES.

20. JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION.

(i) In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.

(ii) With the exception of the items specified in Section 14(c), below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

(iii) The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This Judicial Reference Provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference proceeding pursuant to this Judicial Reference Provision as provided herein.

(iv) The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).

(v) The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

(vi) The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

(vii) Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

(viii) The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

(ix) If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

(x) THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

21. In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in such action.

22. This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. Creditor hereby assumes responsibility of keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower, and any and all Guarantors of the Senior Debt and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Debt or the Subordinated Debt that diligent inquiry would reveal, and Creditor hereby agrees that Bank shall not have any duty to advise Creditor of information known to Bank regarding such condition. Creditor is not relying on any representations by Bank or Borrower in entering into this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by Creditors and Bank.
