REFERENCE PROVISION. A. Other than (i) non-judicial foreclosure and all matters in connection therewith regarding security interests in real or personal property; or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, or the exercise of other provisional remedies (any and all of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), each controversy, dispute or claim between the parties arising out of or relating to this document ("Agreement"), which controversy, dispute or claim is not settled in writing within thirty (30) days after the "Claim Date" (defined as the date on which a party subject to the Agreement gives written notice to all other parties that a controversy, dispute or claim exists), will be settled by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or their successor section ("CCP"), which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the settlement of any controversy, dispute or claim concerning this Agreement, including whether such controversy, dispute or claim is subject to the reference proceeding and except as set forth above, the parties waive their rights to initiate any legal proceedings against each other in any court or jurisdiction other than the Superior Court in the County where the Real Property, if any, is located or Los Angeles County if none (the "Court").

REFERENCE PROVISION. If and only if the jury trial waiver set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement is invalidated for any reason by a court of law, statute or otherwise, the reference provisions set forth below shall be substituted in place of the jury trial waiver. So long as the jury trial waiver remains valid, the reference provisions set forth in this Section shall be inapplicable.
REFERENCE PROVISION. The parties prefer that any dispute between them be resolved in litigation subject to a Jury Trial Waiver as set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement, but the availability of that process is in doubt because of the opinion of the California Court of Appeal in Grafton Partners LP v. Superior Court, 9 Cal.Rptr.3d 511. This Reference Provision will be applicable until the California Supreme Court completes its review of that case, and will continue to be applicable if either that court or a California Court of Appeal publishes a decision holding that a pre-dispute Jury Trial Waiver provision similar to that contained in the Loan Documents is invalid or unenforceable. Delay in requesting appointment of a referee pending review of any such decision, or participation in litigation pending review, will not be deemed a waiver of this Reference Provision.
REFERENCE PROVISION a. The parties prefer that any dispute between them be resolved in litigation subject to a Jury Trial Waiver as set forth in the Loan Documents (defined below), but the California Supreme Court has held that pre-dispute Jury Trial Waivers not authorized by statute are unenforceable. This Reference Provision will be applicable until: (i) the California Supreme Court holds that a pre-dispute Jury Trial Waiver provision similar to that contained in the Loan Documents is valid or enforceable; or (ii) the California Legislature enacts a statute which becomes law, authorizing pre-dispute Jury Trial Waivers of the type in the Loan Documents and, as a result, such waivers become enforceable. In addition, this Reference Provision, if not already applicable as otherwise provided herein, will become applicable, if a Court, contrary to a choice of law provision contained in the Loan Documents, holds that the laws of the State of California apply to the Loan Documents.
REFERENCE PROVISION. (a) Each controversy, dispute or claim between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, which controversy, dispute or claim is not settled in writing within thirty (30) days after the "Claim Date" (defined as the date on which a party subject to the Agreement gives written notice to all other parties that a controversy, dispute or claim exists) , will be settled by a reference proceeding in Orange County, California, in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or their successor section ("CCP") , which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the settlement of any controversy, dispute or claim concerning this Agreement, including whether such controversy, dispute or claim is subject to the reference proceeding and the parties waive their rights to initiate any legal proceedings against each other in any court or jurisdiction other than the Superior Court of Orange County (the "Court"). The referee shall be a retired Judge of the Court selected by mutual agreement of the parties, and if they cannot so agree within forty-five (45) days after the Claim Date, the referee shall be promptly selected by the Presiding Judge of the Orange County Superior Court (or his representative). The referee shall be appointed to sit as a temporary judge, with all of the powers for a temporary judge, as authorized by law, and upon selection should take and subscribe to the oath of office as provided for in Rule 244 of the California Rules of Court (or any subsequently enacted Rule). Each party shall have one preemptory challenge pursuant to CCP 170.6. The referee shall (a) be requested to set the matter for hearing within sixty (60) days after the Claim Date and (b) try any and all issues of law or fact and report a statement of decision upon them, if possible, within ninety (90) days of the Claim Date. Any decision rendered by the referee will be final, binding and conclusive and judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP 644 in any court in the State of California having jurisdiction. Any party may apply for a reference at any time after thirty (30) days following notice to any other party of the nature of the controversy, dispute or claim, by filing a petition for a hearing and/or trial. All discovery permitted by this Agreement shall be completed no later than fifteen (15) days before the first hearing date established by the referee. The referee may extend such period in the event of a party's refusa...
