Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges that the Borrower shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone or email request. Each telephone or email request for an Advance from Authorized Signers for the Borrower shall constitute a certification of the matters set forth in the Request for Advance form as of the date of such requested Advance.

payment thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day.

(b) Interest on each LIBOR-based Advance of the Revolving Credit shall accrue at its LIBOR-based Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the LIBOR-Interest Period applicable thereto (and, if any LIBOR-Interest Period shall exceed three months, then on the last Business Day of the third month of such LIBOR-Interest Period, and at three month intervals thereafter).

- 26 -
Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, on the last day of the applicable Interest Period the principal amount of any LIBOR-based Advance which has not been prepaid shall be converted automatically to a PRR-based Advance and the Bank shall thereafter promptly notify the Borrower of said action. All accrued and unpaid interest on any Advance converted to a PRR-based Advance under this Section 2.7 shall be due and payable in full on the date such Advance is converted.
2.8 Revolving Credit Fees.
(a) | Unused Fee. From the Effective Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a Revolving Credit Unused Fee quarterly in arrears commencing October 1, 2017 (in respect of the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on September 30, 2017), on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter (in respect of the prior calendar quarter), and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (in respect of the prior calendar quarter or any portion thereof). The Revolving Credit Unused Fee shall be determined by multiplying the Revolving Credit Unused Fee Percentage times the average daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect exceeds the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances outstanding from time to time during such period and (ii) the Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding from time to time during such period, calculated on a daily basis. The Revolving Credit Unused Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment of the Revolving Credit Unused Fee shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day.

2.9 Mandatory Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances.
(a) If at any time and for any reason, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances plus the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately reduce any pending request for a Revolving Credit Advance on such day by the amount of such excess and, to the extent any excess remains thereafter, repay any Revolving Credit Advances in an amount equal to the lesser of the outstanding amount of such Advances and the amount of such remaining excess and then, to the extent that any excess remains after payment in full of all Revolving Credit Advances, to provide cash collateral in support of any Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 105% of the amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations and (y) the amount of such remaining excess, with such cash collateral to be provided on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Bank. The Borrower acknowledges that, in connection
- 27 -
with any repayment required hereunder, it shall also be responsible for the reimbursement of any prepayment or other costs required under Section 10.1 hereof.

Subject to the terms and conditions of said cash collateral account, sums on deposit in said cash collateral account shall be applied (until exhausted) to reduce the principal balance of the Revolving Credit on the last day of each LIBOR-Interest Period attributable to the LIBOR-based Advances of such Revolving Advance, thereby avoiding breakage costs under Section 10.1 hereof; provided, however, that if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred at any time while sums are on deposit in the cash collateral account, the Bank may, in its sole discretion, elect to apply such sums to reduce the principal balance of such LIBOR-based Advances prior to the last day of the applicable LIBOR-Interest Period, and the Borrower will be obligated to pay any resulting breakage costs under Section 10.1.

(a) | the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of any beneficiary in connection therewith; |

8.2 Exercise of Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder: (a) the Bank may declare the Revolving Credit Commitment terminated; (b) the Bank may declare the entire unpaid principal Indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Note, immediately due and payable, without presentment, notice or demand, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; (c)
- 57 -
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(i) and notwithstanding the lack of any declaration by the Bank under preceding clauses (a) or (b), the entire unpaid principal Indebtedness shall become automatically and immediately due and payable, and the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be automatically and immediately terminated; (d) the Bank shall demand immediate delivery of cash collateral, and the Borrower agrees to deliver such cash collateral upon demand, in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount that may be available to be drawn at any time prior to the stated expiry of all outstanding Letters of Credit, for deposit into an account controlled by the Bank; (e) the Bank may notify the Borrower or any Credit Party that interest shall be payable on demand on all Indebtedness (other than Revolving Credit Advances with respect to which Section 2.5 hereof shall govern) owing from time to time to the Bank, at a per annum rate equal to the then applicable PRR-based Rate plus three percent (3%); and (f) the Bank may exercise any remedy permitted by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or law.
8.3 Rights Cumulative. No delay or failure of the Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power, right or privilege. The rights of the Bank under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedies which Bank would otherwise have.
8.4 Waiver by the Borrower of Certain Laws. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower hereby agrees to waive, and does hereby absolutely and irrevocably waive and relinquish the benefit and advantage of any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension or redemption laws now existing or which may hereafter exist, which, but for this provision, might be applicable to any sale made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, on any claim for interest on the Revolving Credit Note, or any security interest or mortgage contemplated by or granted under or in connection with this Agreement. These waivers have been voluntarily given, with full knowledge of the consequences thereof.
8.5 Waiver of Defaults. No Event of Default shall be waived by the Bank except in a writing signed by an officer of the Bank in accordance with Section 11.10 hereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any delay in the exercise thereof, shall preclude other or further exercise of their rights by the Bank. No waiver of any Event of Default shall extend to any other or further Event of Default. No forbearance on the part of the Bank in enforcing any of their rights shall constitute a waiver of any of their rights. Borrower expressly agrees that this Section may not be waived or modified by the Bank by course of performance, estoppel or otherwise.
8.6 Set Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Bank may at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any requirement for such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower), setoff and apply against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether owing to the Bank, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower and any property of the Borrower from time to time in possession of the Bank, irrespective of whether or not such deposits held or indebtedness owing by the Bank may be contingent and unmatured and regardless of whether any Collateral then held by the Bank is adequate to cover the Indebtedness. Promptly following any such setoff, the Bank shall give written notice to the Borrower of the occurrence thereof. The Borrower hereby grants to the Bank a lien on and security interest in all such deposits, indebtedness and property as collateral security for the payment and performance of all of the obligations of the
- 58 -
Borrower under this Agreement. The rights of the Bank under this Section 8.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which Bank may have.
9. | PAYMENTS, RECOVERIES AND COLLECTIONS. |
9.1 Payment Procedure.
(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments made by the Borrower of principal, interest or fees hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim on the date specified for payment under this Agreement and must be received by the Bank not later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) (or such later time on such date as agreed to by the Bank) on the date such payment is required or intended to be made in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Bank at the Bank’s office located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxx, XX 00000. Any payment received by the Bank after 1:00 p.m. (California time) (or such later time on such date as agreed to by the Bank) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1 of this Agreement, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment.
(c) All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Note shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, as aforesaid, and without deduction for or on account of any present or future withholding or other taxes of any nature imposed by any Governmental Authority or of any political subdivision thereof or any federation or organization of which such Governmental Authority may at the time of payment be a member (other than any Excluded Taxes), unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make payment subject to such tax. In such event, the Borrower shall:
(i) | pay to the Bank for the Bank’s own account such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Bank receives a net amount equal to the full amount which would have been receivable had payment not been made subject to such tax; and |
(ii) | remit such tax to the relevant taxing authorities according to applicable law, and send to the Bank such certificates or certified copy receipts as the Bank shall reasonably require as proof of the payment by the Borrower of any such taxes payable by the Borrower. |
As used herein, the terms “tax”, “taxes” and “taxation” include all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, deductions and withholdings or similar charges together with interest (and any taxes payable upon the amounts paid or payable pursuant to this Section 9.1(c)) thereon.
9.2 Application of Proceeds of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 8.1(i), immediately following the occurrence thereof, and in the case of any other Event of Default: (a) upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment, (b) the acceleration of any Indebtedness arising under this Agreement,
- 59 -
(c) at the Bank’s option, or (d) after the commencement of any remedies hereunder, the Bank shall apply the proceeds of any Collateral, together with any offsets, voluntary payments by any Credit Party or others and any other sums received or collected in respect of the Indebtedness first, to pay all incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Bank under the Loan Documents and any protective advances made by the Bank with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, next, to pay principal and interest due under the Revolving Credit (including any Reimbursement Obligations), and to cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount that may be available to be drawn at any time prior to the stated expiry of all outstanding Letters of Credit, on a pro rata basis, next to pay any obligations owing by any Credit Party under any Hedging Agreements on a pro rata basis, next, to pay any other Indebtedness on a pro rata basis, and then, if there is any excess, to the Credit Parties, as the case may be.
10. | CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES; INCREASED COSTS. |
10.1 Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs. If (i) the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any LIBOR-based Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntarily, pursuant to any mandatory provisions hereof, by acceleration, or otherwise); (ii) the Borrower converts or refund (or attempt to convert or refund) any such Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) the Borrower fails to borrow, refund or convert any LIBOR-based Advance after notice has been given by the Borrower to the Bank in accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Advance; or (iv) or if the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal in respect of a LIBOR-based Advance when due, the Borrower shall reimburse the Bank within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred (excluding the loss of any Applicable Margin) by the Bank as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits from third parties, whether or not the Bank shall have funded or committed to fund such Advance. The amount payable hereunder by the Borrower to the Bank shall be deemed to equal an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day of the relevant Interest Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said Advance(s) provided under this Agreement, over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by the Bank) which would have accrued to the Bank on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. Calculation of any amounts payable to Bank under this paragraph shall be made as though Bank shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant Advance through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund any LIBOR-based Advance in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. Upon the written request of the Borrower, the Bank shall deliver to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses, costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error.
10.2 LIBOR Lending Office. For any LIBOR-based Advance, if the Bank shall designate a LIBOR Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of the Bank, the Bank shall have the option of maintaining and carrying the relevant Advance on the books of such LIBOR Lending Office.
- 60 -
10.3 Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If the Bank shall determine in good faith that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars in the applicable amounts are not being offered to the Bank at the applicable LIBOR Rate, then the Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligation of Bank to make Advances which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, and the right of the Borrower to convert an Advance to or refund an Advance as an Advance which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended, (ii) effective upon the last day of each LIBOR-Interest Period related to any existing LIBOR-based Advance, each such LIBOR-based Advance shall automatically be converted into an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the PRR-based Rate (without regard to the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein), and (iii) effective immediately following such notice, each Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted into an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the PRR-based Rate (without regard to the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein).
10.4 Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption or introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, (a) the obligations of the Bank to make Advances which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate and the right of the Borrower to convert an Advance into or refund an Advance as an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended and thereafter only the PRR-based Rate shall be available, and (b) if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, the applicable Advance shall immediately be converted to an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the PRR-based Rate.
10.5 Increased Cost of Advances Carried at the LIBOR Rate. If any Change in Law shall:
(a) | subject the Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Advance (except for any withholding taxes which are covered by Section 9.1(c) hereof) or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on any Advance or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in any Excluded Taxes); or |
(b) | impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or shall impose on the Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Advance; |
- 61 -
and the result of any of the foregoing matters is to increase the costs to the Bank of maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder as an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank under this Agreement in respect of an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, then the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of such written notice, the Borrower agrees to pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction, provided that Bank agrees to take any reasonable action, to the extent such action could be taken without cost or administrative or other burden or restriction to Bank, to mitigate or eliminate such cost or reduction, within a reasonable time after becoming aware of the foregoing matters. The Bank will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle it to compensation pursuant to this Section, or which will cause the Borrower to incur additional liability under Section 10.1 hereof, provided that the Bank shall incur no liability whatsoever to the Borrower in the event it fails to do so. A certificate of the Bank setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall accompany such demand and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct absent manifest error.
10.6 Capital Adequacy and Other Increased Costs.
If any Change in Law affects or would affect the capital or liquidity requirements of the Bank (or any corporation controlling the Bank) and the Bank determines that the amount of required capital or liquidity is increased by, or based upon the existence of the Bank’s obligations or Advances hereunder, the effect of such Change in Law is to result in such an increase, and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or Advances hereunder to a level below that which the Bank (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then the Bank shall notify the Borrower, and thereafter the Borrower shall pay to the Bank, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor from the Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and/or liquidity and reduced rate of return which the Bank reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of the Bank’s obligations or Advances hereunder, including without limitation any obligations in respect of Letters of Credit. A statement setting forth the amount of such compensation, the methodology for the calculation and the calculation thereof which shall also be prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by the Bank, as the case may be, shall be submitted by the Bank to the Borrower, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event described in this Section 10.6(a) and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct, absent manifest error.
10.7 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 10 shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s right to demand such compensation.
11. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
11.1 Accounting Principles. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined or any consolidation or other accounting computation
- 62 -
is required to be made for the purposes of this Agreement, it shall be done, unless otherwise specified herein, in accordance with GAAP.
11.2 Consent to Jurisdiction. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT BANK’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE BANK ELECTS TO BRING SUCH ACTION OR WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. THE BORROWER AND THE BANK WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 11.2.
11.3 Governing Law. THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT), THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO OR THERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD FOR PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
11.4 Interest. In the event the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest on the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note or on any other amounts outstanding hereunder or under the other Loan Documents is or becomes in excess of the maximum interest rate which the Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay, giving due consideration to the execution date of this Agreement, then, in that event, the rate of interest applicable thereto shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not of interest.
11.5 Closing Costs and Other Costs; Indemnification.
(a) The Borrower shall pay or reimburse (a) the Bank and its Affiliates for payment of, on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses, including, by way of description and not limitation, reasonable in-house and outside attorney fees and advances, appraisal and accounting fees, lien search fees, and required travel costs, incurred by the Bank and its Affiliates in connection with the commitment, consummation and closing of the loans contemplated hereby, or in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including the obtaining of legal advice regarding the rights and responsibilities of the parties hereto) or any refinancing or restructuring of the loans or Advances provided under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any amendment or modification thereof requested by the Borrower, provided that the Borrower’s liability to Bank for such amounts related to the commitment, consummation and closing (but not administration or enforcement) of the loans contemplated hereby shall be limited to (i) $10,000 for due diligence and (ii) the first $25,000
- 63 -
in attorney fees and advances, one-half of the next $25,000 in attorney fees and advances and all amounts (provided, that the one-half of such attorney fees and advances for which the Borrower is not liable, if any, shall be paid by the Borrower on the Effective Date and credited against the amount of the Facility Fee that is payable by the Borrower after the Effective Date) in excess of $50,000 in attorney fees and advances, and (b) the Bank and its Affiliates for all stamp and other taxes and duties payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing or recording of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omitting to pay such taxes or duties. Furthermore, all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation attorney fees, incurred by the Bank and its Affiliates in revising, preserving, protecting, exercising or enforcing any of its rights against the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or otherwise incurred by the Bank and its Affiliates in connection with any Event of Default or the enforcement of the loans (whether incurred through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise), including by way of description and not limitation, such charges in any court or bankruptcy proceedings or arising out of any claim or action by any person against the Bank or its Affiliates, which would not have been asserted were it not for the Bank’s or such Affiliate’s relationship with the Borrower hereunder or otherwise, shall also be paid by the Borrower. All of said amounts required to be paid by the Borrower hereunder and not paid forthwith upon demand, as aforesaid, shall bear interest, from the date incurred to the date payment is received by the Bank, at the PRR-based Rate, plus three percent (3%).
(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank (and its Affiliates) harmless from all loss, cost, damage, liability or expenses, including reasonable house and outside attorneys’ fees and disbursements (but without duplication of such fees and disbursements for the same services), incurred by the Bank by reason of an Event of Default, or enforcing the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, as applicable, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding concerning any matter growing out of or connected with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, excluding, however, any loss, cost, damage, liability or expenses to the extent arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified under this Section 11.5(b).
(c) The Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Bank (and its Affiliates), and their respective employees, agents, officers and directors from and against any and all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or expenses of whatever kind or nature (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultants fees, investigation and laboratory fees, environmental studies required by the Bank in connection with the violation of Hazardous Material Laws), court costs and litigation expenses, arising out of or related to (i) the presence, use, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials on, from or affecting any premises owned or occupied by any Credit Party in violation of or the non-compliance with applicable Hazardous Material Laws, (ii) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to such Hazardous Materials, (iii) any lawsuit or other proceeding brought or threatened, settlement reached or governmental order or decree relating to such Hazardous Materials, and/or (iv) complying or coming into compliance with all Hazardous Material Laws (including the cost of any remediation or monitoring required in connection therewith) or any other Requirement of Law; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no obligations under this Section 11.5(c) with respect to claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or expenses to the extent arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank.

11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and each executed copy shall constitute an original instrument, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

11.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL / JUDICIAL REFERENCE.
(a) JURY TRIAL WAIVER. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BORROWER AND THE BANK HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE BORROWER AND THE BANK REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
(b) Judicial Reference.
(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 clause (iii), below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or the other Loan Documents, any other 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 this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or the other 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: (a) foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (b) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (c) appointment of a receiver and (d) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (a) and (b) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (c) and (d). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this 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
- 67 -
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 (a) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (b) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (c) 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.
- 68 -
(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 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 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, THE NOTES OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
11.13 USA Patriot Act Notice. Pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act, the Bank hereby notify the Credit Parties that if they or any of their Subsidiaries open an account, including any loan, deposit account, treasury management account, or other extension of credit with the Bank, the Bank will request the applicable Person’s name, tax identification number, business address and other information necessary to identify such Person (and may request such Person’s organizational documents or other identifying documents) to the extent necessary for the Bank to comply with the USA Patriot Act.
11.14 Complete Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, any Requests for Advance, and the Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto, superseding all prior agreements, discussions and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, and none of the parties shall be bound by anything not expressed in writing. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Agreement shall govern.
11.15 Severability. In case any one or more of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining obligations of the Credit Parties shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in one jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or any of the other Loan Documents in any other jurisdiction.
11.16 Table of Contents and Headings; Section References. The table of contents and the headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect any of the terms or provisions hereof and references herein to “sections,” “subsections,” “clauses,” “paragraphs,” “subparagraphs,” “exhibits” and “schedules” shall be to sections, subsections, clauses, paragraphs, subparagraphs, exhibits and schedules, respectively, of this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided herein or unless the context otherwise clearly indicates.
- 69 -
11.17 Construction of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents refers to any action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person, whether or not expressly specified in such provision.
11.18 Independence of Covenants. Each covenant hereunder shall be given independent effect (subject to any exceptions stated in such covenant) so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any such covenant (taking into account any such stated exception), the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default.
11.19 Electronic Transmissions.
(a) | Each of the Bank, the Credit Parties, and each of their Affiliates is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. The Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby acknowledge and agree that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions. |
(b) | All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to Section 11.6 and this Section 11.19, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related contractual obligations executed by the Bank and the Credit Parties in connection with the use of such E-System. |
(c) | All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Bank or any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein. No warranty of any kind is made by the Bank or any of its Affiliates in connection with any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, agree that the Bank has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System. |
11.20 Advertisements. Provided the Bank first obtains the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Bank may disclose the names of the Credit Parties and the existence of the Indebtedness in general advertisements and trade publications.
11.21 Reliance on and Survival of Provisions. All terms, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Credit Parties to any of the Loan Documents made herein or in any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other document furnished
- 70 -
by or on behalf of any Credit Party in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Bank, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Bank or on Bank’s behalf, and those covenants and agreements of the Borrower set forth in Sections 3.7 and 11.5 hereof (together with any other indemnities of any Credit Party contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents) shall survive the repayment in full of the Indebtedness and the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any commitment to extent credit thereunder.

(f) | Products Marked. Each Debtor has marked its products with the trademark registration symbol, copyright notices, the numbers of all appropriate patents, the common law trademark |
symbol or the designation “patent pending,” as the case may be, to the extent that such Debtor, in good faith, believes is reasonably and commercially practicable.
(g) | Other Rights. Except for the Trademark Licenses, Patent Licenses and Copyright Licenses listed on Schedule 1.1 hereto under which a Debtor is a licensee, no Debtor has knowledge of the existence of any right or any claim (other than as provided by this Agreement) that is likely to be made under or against any item of Intellectual Property Collateral contained on Schedule 1.1 to the extent such claim could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. |
(h) | No Claims. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.1 or as otherwise disclosed to the Bank in writing, no claim has been made and is continuing or, to any Debtor’s knowledge, threatened that the use by any Debtor of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral is invalid or unenforceable or that the use by any Debtor of any Intellectual Property Collateral does or may violate the rights of any Person. To the Debtors’ knowledge, there is no infringement or unauthorized use of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral contained on Schedule 1.1 or as otherwise disclosed to the Bank in writing. |
(i) | No Consent. No consent of any party (other than such Debtor) to any Patent License, Copyright License or Trademark License constituting Intellectual Property Collateral is required, or purports to be required, to be obtained by or on behalf of such Debtor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement that has not been obtained. Each Patent License, Copyright License and Trademark License constituting Intellectual Property Collateral is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid and legally enforceable obligation of the applicable Debtor and (to the knowledge of the Debtors) each other party thereto except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law), except to the extent the failure of any such Patent License, Copyright License or Trademark License to be in full force and effect or valid or legally enforceable would not be reasonably expected, in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Collateral. No consent or authorization of, filing with or other act by or in respect of any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of any of the Patent Licenses, Copyright Licenses or Trademark Licenses by any party thereto other than those which have been duly obtained, made or performed and are in full force and effect and those the failure of which to make or obtain would not be reasonably expected, in the aggregate to, have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Collateral. Neither the Debtors nor (to the knowledge of any Debtor) any other party to any Patent License, Copyright License or Trademark License constituting Collateral is in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms thereof, except for such defaults as would not reasonably be expected, in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the value of the Intellectual Property Collateral. To the knowledge of such Debtor, the right, title and interest of the applicable Debtor in, to and under each Patent License, Copyright License and Trademark License constituting Intellectual Property Collateral is not subject to any defense, offset, counterclaim or claim, which would be the expected, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Collateral. |
Section 3.6 Priority. No financing statement, security agreement or other Lien instrument covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any public office with respect to any outstanding obligation of such Debtor except (i) as may have been filed in favor of the Bank pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) financing statements filed to perfect Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted under Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement (which shall not, in any event, xxxxx x Xxxx over the Pledged Shares).
Section 3.7 Perfection. Upon (a) the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 3.7 attached hereto, and (b) the recording of the IP Security Agreement in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, the security interest in favor of the Bank created herein or therein will constitute a valid and perfected Lien upon and security interest in the Collateral to the extent such security interest may be created and perfected either under the UCC by filing financing statements or by a filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office.

In the case of all such insurance policies, each such Debtor shall designate the Bank, as mortgagee or lender loss payee and such policies shall provide that any loss be payable to the Bank, as mortgagee or lender loss payee, as its interests may appear.

(a) | provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, (i) if the amount of Insurance Proceeds in respect of any loss or casualty does not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), such Debtor shall be entitled, in the event of such loss or casualty, to receive all such Insurance Proceeds and to apply the same toward the replacement of the Collateral affected thereby or to the purchase of other assets to be used in such Debtor’s business (provided that such assets shall be subjected to a first priority Lien in favor of the Bank and such repurchase of assets shall occur within 30 days of such Debtor receiving the Insurance Proceeds); and (ii) if the amount of Insurance Proceeds in respect of any loss or casualty exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied to prepay the Indebtedness in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement; and |
(b) | if a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and is not waived as provided in the Credit Agreement, all Insurance Proceeds in respect of any loss or casualty shall be paid to and received by the Bank, to be applied by the Bank against the Indebtedness in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement and/or to be held by the Bank as cash collateral for the Indebtedness, as the Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. |
Section 4.5 Corporate Changes; Books and Records; Inspection Rights. (a) Each Debtor shall not change its respective name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization, or identification number in any manner that might make any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 of the UCC unless such Debtor shall have given the Bank thirty (30) days prior written notice with respect to any change in such Debtor’s corporate structure, jurisdiction of organization, name or identity and shall have taken all action deemed reasonably necessary by the Bank under the circumstances to protect its Liens and the perfection and priority thereof, (b) each Debtor shall keep the Records at the location specified on Schedule 3.2 as the location of such books and records or as otherwise specified in writing to the Bank and (c) the Debtors shall permit the Bank and its agents and representatives to conduct inspections, discussion and audits of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Section 4.6 Notification of Lien; Continuing Disclosure. (a) Each Debtor shall promptly notify the Bank in writing of any Lien, encumbrance or claim (other than a Permitted Lien, to the extent not otherwise subject to any notice requirements under the Credit Agreement) that has attached to or been made or asserted against any of the Collateral upon becoming aware of the existence of such Lien, encumbrance or claim; and (b) at closing on the date of this Agreement and concurrently with delivery of the Covenant Compliance Report for each fiscal quarter, Debtors shall execute and deliver to the Bank a Collateral Compliance Report in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(B) | All rights of such Debtor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(i)(A) and to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(i)(B) shall be suspended until such Default or Event of Default shall no longer exist, and all such rights shall, until such Default or Event of Default shall no longer exist, thereupon become vested in the Bank which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive, hold and dispose of as Pledged Shares such dividends, interest and other distributions. |
(C) | All dividends, interest and other distributions which are received by such Debtor contrary to the provisions of this Section 4.7(a)(ii) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Bank, shall be segregated from other funds of |

The Bank may appoint one or more agents (which in no case shall be a Debtor or an affiliate of a Debtor) to hold physical custody, for the account of the Bank, of any or all of the Collateral. The Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Bank accords its own property, it being understood that the Bank shall not have any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Bank has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. Following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Bank shall be entitled to take ownership of the Collateral in accordance with the UCC. |

units, notes or instruments issued to any Debtor granting to the Bank a first priority security interest, pledge and Lien thereon, together in each case with all certificates, notes or other instruments representing or evidencing the same, together with such other documentation as the Bank may reasonably request.

Each Debtor hereby (x) authorizes the Bank to attach each amendment to this Agreement, (y) agrees that all such additional collateral listed in any amendment delivered to the Bank shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Collateral, and (z) is deemed to have made, upon the delivery of each such Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.3(d) and Section 3.5 of this Agreement with respect to the Collateral covered thereby. |

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement relating to disposition of assets and except for Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted under Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement (except for Pledged Shares, over which the only Lien shall be that Lien established under this Agreement), each Debtor agrees to maintain and preserve the Bank’s security interest in and pledge and collateral assignment of the Collateral hereunder and the priority thereof.
(a) | Each Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Bank at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (i) indicate any or all of the Collateral upon which the Debtors have granted a Lien, and (ii) provide any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC, including organizational information and in the case of a fixture filing or a filing for Collateral consisting of as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Each Debtor agrees to furnish any such information required by the preceding paragraph to the Bank promptly upon request. |

Each Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Bank and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, to take, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any and all appropriate action, and to execute any and all documents and instruments which the Bank at any time and from time to time deems necessary, to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Debtor hereby gives the Bank the power and right on behalf of such Debtor and in its own name to do any of the following after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to or the consent of such Debtor:
(a) | to demand, xxx for, collect or receive, in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral and, in connection therewith, endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, documents of title or any other instruments for the payment of money under the Collateral or any policy of insurance; |
(b) | to pay or discharge taxes, Liens (other than Permitted Liens and the other Liens permitted under Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement) or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; |
(c) | (i) to direct account debtors and any other parties liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Bank or as the Bank shall direct; (ii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iv) to commence and prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Debtor with respect to any Collateral; (vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Bank may deem appropriate; (vii) to exchange any of the Collateral for other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as the Bank may determine; (viii) to |
add or release any guarantor, indorser, surety or other party to any of the Collateral; (ix) to make, settle, compromise or adjust any claim under or pertaining to any of the Collateral (including claims under any policy of insurance); (x) subject to any pre-existing rights or licenses, to assign any Patent, Copyright or Trademark constituting Intellectual Property Collateral (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Patent, Copyright or Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner, as the Bank shall in its sole discretion determine, and (xi) to sell, transfer, pledge, convey, make any agreement with respect to, or otherwise deal with, any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Bank were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Bank’s option and such Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Bank deems necessary to protect, preserve, maintain, or realize upon the Collateral and the Bank’s security interest therein.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. The Bank shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Bank in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. This power of attorney is conferred on the Bank solely to protect, preserve, maintain and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral. The Bank shall not be responsible for any decline in the value of the Collateral and shall not be required to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties or to protect, preserve or maintain any Lien given to secure the Collateral.
Section 5.2 Setoff. In addition to and not in limitation of any rights of Bank under applicable law, the Bank shall, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, without notice or demand of any kind, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Indebtedness owing to it (whether or not then due) any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of Debtors then or thereafter on deposit with Bank; provided, however, that any such amount so applied by Bank on any of the Indebtedness owing to it shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
Section 5.3 Assignment by the Bank. The Bank may at any time assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations as Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Indebtedness) to any other Person, to the extent permitted by, and upon the conditions contained in, the Credit Agreement and such Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits and obligations thereof granted to the Bank herein or otherwise.
Section 5.4 Performance by the Bank. If any Debtor shall fail to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, the Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) perform or attempt to perform such covenant or agreement on behalf of the Debtors, in which case Bank shall exercise good faith and make diligent efforts to give Debtors prompt prior written notice of such performance or attempted performance. In such event, the Debtors shall, at the request of the Bank, promptly pay any reasonable amount expended by the Bank in connection with such performance or attempted performance to the Bank, together with interest thereon at the interest rate set forth in the Credit Agreement, from and including the date of such expenditure to but excluding the date such expenditure is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the Bank shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance (or non-performance) of any obligation of the Debtors under this Agreement.
Section 5.5 Certain Costs and Expenses. The Debtors shall pay or reimburse the Bank within five (5) Business Days after demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s and paralegal fees) incurred by it in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document during the existence of an Event
of Default or after acceleration of any of the Indebtedness (including in connection with any “workout” or restructuring regarding the Indebtedness, and including in any insolvency proceeding or appellate proceeding). The agreements in this Section 5.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Indebtedness.
Section 5.6 Indemnification. The Debtors shall indemnify, defend and hold the Bank and each of its officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Indebtedness) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any document relating to or arising out of or referred to in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Indemnified Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any bankruptcy proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Indebtedness or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the Debtors shall have no obligation under this Section 5.6 to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section 5.6 shall survive payment of all other Indebtedness.

Section 6.1 Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Bank shall have the following rights and remedies:
(a) | The Bank may exercise any of the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article 5 hereof), in the Credit Agreement, or in any other Loan Document, or by applicable law. |
(b) | In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Bank in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or by applicable law, the Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and the Bank may also, without previous demand or notice except as specified below or in the Credit Agreement, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Bank’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, deem commercially reasonable or otherwise as may be permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank may (i) without demand or notice to the Debtors (except as required under the Credit Agreement or applicable law), collect, receive or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and for that purpose the Bank (and/or its Banks, servicers or other independent contractors) may enter upon any premises on which the Collateral is located and remove the Collateral therefrom or render it inoperable, and/or (ii) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at the Bank’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, deem commercially reasonable or otherwise as may be permitted by law. The Bank shall have the right at any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted |
by applicable law, at any private sale or sales, to bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) and become a purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof free of any right of redemption on the part of the Debtors, which right of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by the Debtors to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Bank may require the Debtors to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Bank at any place designated by the Bank to allow the Bank to take possession or dispose of such Collateral. The Debtors agree that the Bank shall not be obligated to give more than five (5) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters. The foregoing shall not require notice if none is required by applicable law. The Bank shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of Collateral may have been given. The Bank may, without notice or publication (except as required by applicable law), adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. The Debtors shall be liable for all reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or the like, and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with the collection of the Indebtedness and the enforcement of the Bank’s rights under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The Debtors shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any such sale or other disposition of the Collateral (conducted in conformity with this clause (ii) and applicable law) applied to the Indebtedness are insufficient to pay the Indebtedness in full. The Bank shall apply the proceeds from the sale of the Collateral hereunder against the Indebtedness in such order and manner as provided in the Credit Agreement.
(c) | The Bank may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of the Bank or the name or names of the Bank’s nominee or nominees. |
(d) | The Bank may exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Debtors under or in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all rights of the Debtors to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of any of the Collateral and any and all voting rights and corporate powers in respect of the Collateral. |
(e) | On any sale of the Collateral, the Bank is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is necessary (based on a reasoned opinion of the Bank’s counsel) in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable Governmental Authority. |
(f) | The Bank may direct account debtors and any other parties liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Bank or as the Bank shall direct. |
(g) | In the event of any sale, assignment or other disposition of the Intellectual Property Collateral, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Collateral subject to such disposition shall be included, and the Debtors shall supply to the Bank or its designee the Debtors’ know-how and expertise related to the Intellectual Property |
Collateral subject to such disposition, and the Debtors’ notebooks, studies, reports, records, documents and things embodying the same or relating to the inventions, processes or ideas covered by and to the manufacture of any products under or in connection with the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such disposition.
(h) | For purposes of enabling the Bank to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 6.1 and enabling the Bank and its successors and assigns to enjoy the full benefits of the Collateral, the Debtors hereby grant to the Bank an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Debtors) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, Computer Records or Software (including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and all computer programs used for the completion or printout thereof), exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default (and thereafter if Bank succeeds to any of the Collateral pursuant to an enforcement proceeding or voluntary arrangement with Debtor), except as may be prohibited by any licensing agreement relating to such Computer Records or Software. This license shall also inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns, transferees of and purchasers from the Bank. |
(i) | If and to the extent that any Debtor is permitted to license the Intellectual Property Collateral, Bank shall promptly enter into a non-disturbance agreement or other similar arrangement, at such Debtor’s request and expense, with such Debtor and any licensee of any Intellectual Property Collateral permitted hereunder, such non-disturbance or similar agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank pursuant to which (i) Bank shall agree to assume the rights of Debtor under such non-exclusive license, and (ii) such licensee shall acknowledge and agree that the Intellectual Property Collateral licensed to it is subject to the security interest created in favor of Bank and other terms of this Agreement. |
(j) | In addition to any other remedy available to it, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Bank shall have the absolute right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to seek and obtain the immediate appointment of a receiver to take possession of and operate and/or dispose of the business and assets of any Debtor and any costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with such receivership shall bear interest at the highest rate set forth in the Credit Agreement, at Bank’s option, and shall be secured by all Collateral. |
Section 6.2 Private Sales.
(a) | In view of the fact that applicable securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Pledged Shares may be effected after an Event of Default, Debtors agree that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Bank may from time to time attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Shares by a private sale in the nature of a private placement, restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, the Bank may solicit offers for the Pledged Shares, or any part thereof, from a limited number of investors who might be interested in purchasing the Pledged Shares. Without limiting the methods or manner of disposition which could be determined to be commercially reasonable, if the Bank hires a firm of regional or national reputation that is |
engaged in the business of rendering investment banking and brokerage services to solicit such offers and facilitate the sale of the Pledged Shares, then the Bank’s acceptance of the highest offer (including its own offer) obtained through such efforts of such firm shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Pledged Shares. The Bank shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States, under the Securities Act or under any applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(b) | The Debtors further agree to do or cause to be done, to the extent that the Debtors may do so under applicable law, all such other reasonable acts and things as may be necessary to make such sales or resales of any portion or all of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Debtors’ expense. |
Section 6.3 Establishment of Cash Collateral Account; and Lock Box.
(a) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 8.1(i) of the Credit Agreement, immediately following the occurrence thereof, and in the case of any other Event of Default, upon the termination of any commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement, the acceleration of any Indebtedness arising under the Credit Agreement and/or the exercise of any other remedy in each case by the Bank under Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement, there shall be established by each Debtor with the Bank a segregated non-interest bearing cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Bank. Furthermore, in connection with the establishment of a Cash Collateral Account under the first sentence of this Section 6.3 (and on the terms and within the time periods provided thereunder), (i) each Debtor agrees to establish and maintain (and the Bank may establish and maintain) at Debtor’s sole expense a United States Post Office lock box (the “Lock Box”), to which the Bank shall have exclusive access and control. Each Debtor expressly authorizes the Bank, from time to time, to remove the contents from the Lock Box for disposition in accordance with this Agreement; and (ii) each Debtor shall notify all account debtors that all payments made to Debtor (a) other than by electronic funds transfer, shall be remitted, for the credit of Debtor, to the Lock Box, and Debtor shall include a like statement on all invoices, and (b) by electronic funds transfer, shall be remitted to the Cash Collateral Account, and Debtor shall include a like statement on all invoices. Each Debtor agrees to execute all documents and authorizations as reasonably required by the Bank to establish and maintain the Lock Box and the Cash Collateral Account. It is acknowledged by the parties hereto that any lockbox presently maintained or subsequently established by a Debtor with the Bank may be used, subject to the terms hereof, to satisfy the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6.3. |
(b) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 8.1(i) of the Credit Agreement, immediately following the occurrence thereof, and in the case of any other Event of Default, upon the termination of any commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement, the acceleration of any Indebtedness arising under the Credit Agreement and/or the exercise of any other remedy |
in each case by the Bank under Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement, any and all cash (including amounts received by electronic funds transfer), checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money received by each Debtor at any time, in full or partial payment of any of the Collateral consisting of Accounts or Inventory, shall forthwith upon receipt be transmitted and delivered to the Bank, properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Bank. Any such amounts and other items received by a Debtor shall not be commingled with any other of such Debtor’s funds or property, but will be held separate and apart from such Debtor’s own funds or property, and upon express trust for the benefit of the Bank until delivery is made to the Bank. All items or amounts which are remitted to a Lock Box or otherwise delivered by or for the benefit of a Debtor to the Bank on account of partial or full payment of, or any other amount payable with respect to, any of the Collateral shall, at the Bank’s option, be applied to any of the Indebtedness, whether then due or not, in the order and manner set forth in the Credit Agreement. No Debtor shall have any right whatsoever to withdraw any funds so deposited. Each Debtor further grants to the Bank a first security interest in and Lien on all funds on deposit in such account. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Bank to endorse all items received for deposit to the Cash Collateral Account, notwithstanding the inclusion on any such item of a restrictive notation, e.g., “paid in full”, “balance of account”, or other restriction.
Section 6.4 Default Under Credit Agreement. Subject to any applicable notice and cure provisions contained in the Credit Agreement, the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), including without limit a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under this Agreement. This Section 6.4 shall not limit the Events of Default set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(3) | any duty on the part of Bank to disclose to such Guarantor any facts Bank may now or hereafter know about the Borrowers, regardless of whether Bank has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which such Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to such Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to such Guarantor; |
(4) | any other event or action (excluding compliance by such Guarantor with the provisions hereof) that would result in the discharge by operation of law or otherwise of such Guarantor from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Guaranty; and |
(5) | all rights to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Bank. |
(b) Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense based upon or arising by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other person; (ii) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than final and irrevocable payment in full, of the Indebtedness; (iii) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or any other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Borrower which is a corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of the Borrower; (iv) the application by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Indebtedness for purposes other than the purposes represented by the Borrower to the Bank or intended or understood by the Bank or the Guarantors; (v) any act or omission by the Bank which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of the Borrower or any Indebtedness by operation of law or otherwise; or (vi) any modification of the Indebtedness, in any form whatsoever including without limit any modification made after effective termination, and including without limit, the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of the Indebtedness, or other change in the terms of any Indebtedness, including without limit increase or decrease of the interest rate. Each of the Guarantors understands that, absent this waiver, Bank’s election of remedies, including but not limited to its decision to proceed to nonjudicial foreclosure on any real property securing the Indebtedness, could preclude Bank from obtaining a deficiency judgment against Borrower and the Guarantors pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 and could also destroy any subrogation rights which each of the Guarantors has against Borrower. Each of the Guarantors further understands that, absent this waiver, California law, including without limitation, California Code of Civil Procedure sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, could afford the Guarantors one or more affirmative defenses to any action maintained by Bank against the Guarantors on this Guaranty.
Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any and all rights and provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, including, but not limited to any provision thereof that: (i) may limit the time period for Bank to commence a lawsuit against Borrower or the Guarantors to collect any Indebtedness owing by Borrower or the undersigned to Bank; (ii) may entitle Borrower or the Guarantors to a judicial or nonjudicial determination of any deficiency
owed by Borrower or the Guarantors to Bank, or to otherwise limit Bank’s right to collect a deficiency based on the fair market value of such real property security; (iii) may limit Bank’s right to collect a deficiency judgment after a sale of any real property securing the Indebtedness; (iv) may require Bank to take only one action to collect the Indebtedness or that may otherwise limit the remedies available to Bank to collect the Indebtedness.
Each of the Guarantors hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Bank even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the each of the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(c) Each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that this is a knowing and informed waiver of such Guarantor’s rights as discussed above and that Bank is relying on this waiver in extending credit to the Borrowers.
(d) Each of the Guarantors warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above are made with such Guarantor’s full knowledge of their significance and consequences, and that under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any of these waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, these waivers shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law.
5. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby waives any claim for reimbursement, contribution, exoneration, indemnity or subrogation, or any other similar claim, which such Guarantor may have or obtain against the Borrowers or any one of them, by reason of the existence of this Guaranty, or by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the performance of this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been repaid and discharged in full, no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding and all commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (whether optional or obligatory) have been terminated. Any amounts paid to such Guarantor on account of any such claim at any time when the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not have been fully and finally paid shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for Bank, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor shall be turned over to Bank in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed to Bank by such Guarantor, if required), to be applied to such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in such order and manner as Bank may determine.
Each of the Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, costs and expenses, including without limit reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Bank in connection with such Guarantor’s exercise of any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnification or recourse with respect to this Guaranty. The Bank has no duty to enforce or protect any rights which such Guarantor may have against the Borrower or any other person and each of the Guarantors assumes full responsibility for enforcing and protecting these rights.
Notwithstanding any provision of the preceding paragraph or anything else in this Guaranty to the contrary, if any of the Guarantors is or becomes an “insider” or “affiliate” (as defined in Section 101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as it may be amended) with respect to the Borrower, then that any Guarantor irrevocably and absolutely waives any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnification, recourse, reimbursement and any similar rights against the Borrower (or any other guarantor) with respect to this Guaranty, whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law. It is the intention of the parties that the Guarantors shall not be (or be deemed to be) a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as it may be amended) of the Borrower (or any other guarantor) by reason of the existence of this Guaranty in the event that the Borrower becomes a debtor in any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. This waiver is given to induce the Bank to enter into certain written contracts with the Borrower included in the Indebtedness. Each of the Guarantors warrants and agrees that none of Bank’s rights, remedies or interests shall be directly or indirectly impaired because of any of the Guarantors’ status as an “insider” or “affiliate” of the Borrower, and each of the Guarantors shall take any action, and shall execute any document, which the Bank may request in order to effectuate this warranty to the Bank.
Each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that this is a knowing and informed waiver of such Guarantor’s rights as discussed above and that the Bank is relying on this waiver in extending credit to the Borrowers.
6. Other Transactions. The Bank may deal with the Borrowers and any security held by them for the obligations of the Borrowers in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not exist and the Bank shall be entitled, without notice to any of the Guarantors, among other things, to grant to the Borrowers or any one of them such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may seem advisable to the Bank at any time and from time to time, and to permit the Borrowers or any one of them to incur additional indebtedness to the Bank, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.
7. Remedies; Right to Offset. The Bank may proceed, either in its own name or in the name of each or any of the Guarantors, or otherwise, to protect and enforce any or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in equity, action at law or by other appropriate proceedings, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law, and shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be performed hereunder by the Guarantors. Each and every remedy of the Bank shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
At the option of the Bank, any or all of the Guarantors may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by the Bank against the Borrowers or any one of them or any of the other parties providing Collateral for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and recovery may be had against any or all of the Guarantors in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against any of them, without any requirement that the Bank first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against the Borrowers or any one of them and/or any of the other parties providing Collateral for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Each of the Guarantors acknowledges the rights of the Bank, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, to offset against the Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor to the Bank under this Guaranty, any amount owing by the Bank to such Guarantors, whether represented by any deposit of such Guarantors (or any of them) with the Bank or otherwise.
8. Borrowers’ Financial Condition. Each Guarantor delivers this Guaranty based solely on its own independent investigation of (or decision not to investigate) the financial condition of the Borrowers and is not relying on any information furnished by Bank. Each Guarantor assumes full responsibility to keep itself informed concerning the financial condition of the Borrowers and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligation, the status of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other matter which such Guarantor may deem necessary or appropriate, now or later.
9. Representations and Warranties; Covenants. Each Guarantor (a) ratifies, confirms and, by reference thereto (as fully as though such matters were expressly set forth herein), represents and warrants with respect to itself those matters set forth in Article 5 of the Credit Agreement to the extent applicable to such Guarantor and those matters set forth in the recitals hereto, and such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be continuing representations and warranties true and correct in all material respects so long as this Guaranty shall be in effect; and (b) agrees (i) to comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 and Article 7 of the Credit Agreement, to the extent reasonably applicable to such Guarantor and not already addressed through compliance therewith by Borrowers, and (ii) not to otherwise engage in any action or inaction, the result of which would cause a violation of any term or condition of the Credit Agreement.
10. Governing Law; Severability. This Guaranty has been delivered in California and shall be interpreted and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be determined under the laws of, and be enforceable in, the State of California. If any term or provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Guaranty, or the application of such term or provision to circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11. Notices. All notices or other communications to be made or given pursuant to this Guaranty shall be sufficient if made or given as provided in Section 11.6 of the Credit Agreement; or at such other addresses as directed by any of such parties to the others, as applicable, in compliance with this paragraph.
12. Amendments; Future Subsidiaries. The terms of this Guaranty may not be altered, modified, amended, supplemented or terminated in any manner whatsoever unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Bank. Any Person at any time required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise shall become obligated as Guarantors hereunder (each as fully as though an original signatory hereto) by executing and delivering to the Bank that certain joinder agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
13. No Waiver. No waiver or release shall be deemed to have been made by the Bank of any of its rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the
Bank, and any such waiver shall be a waiver or release only with respect to the specific matter and Guarantor or Guarantors involved, and shall in no way impair the rights of the Bank or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty in any other respect at any other time.
14. Joint and Several Obligation, etc. The obligation of each of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be several and also joint, each with all and also each with any one or more of the others, and may be enforced against each severally, any two or more jointly, or some severally and some jointly. Any one or more of the Guarantors may be released from its obligations hereunder with or without consideration for such release and the obligations of the other Guarantors hereunder shall be in no way affected thereby. The Bank may fail or elect not to prove a claim against any bankrupt or insolvent Guarantor and thereafter, the Bank may, without notice to any Guarantors, extend or renew any part or all of the obligations of the Borrowers or any one of them under the Credit Agreement or otherwise, and may permit any such Person to incur additional indebtedness, without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligation of each of the Guarantors hereunder. Such action shall not affect any right of contribution among the Guarantors.
15. Release; Reinstatement. Upon the final payment and discharge in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of any and all commitments of Bank to extend credit (whether optional or obligatory) under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Bank shall deliver to such Guarantors, upon written request therefor, (a) a written release of this Guaranty and (b) appropriate discharges of any Collateral provided by the Guarantors for this Guaranty; provided however that, the effectiveness of this Guaranty shall continue or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event: (x) that any payment received or credit given by the Bank is returned, disgorged, rescinded or required to be recontributed to any party as an avoidable preference, impermissible setoff, fraudulent conveyance, restoration of capital or otherwise under any applicable state, federal, or local law of any jurisdiction, including laws pertaining to bankruptcy or insolvency, and this Guaranty shall thereafter be enforceable against the Guarantors as if such returned, disgorged, recontributed or rescinded payment or credit has not been received or given by the Bank, and whether or not the Bank relied upon such payment or credit or changed its position as a consequence thereof or (y) that any liability is imposed, or sought to be imposed against the Bank, relating to the environmental condition of any of property mortgaged or pledged to the Bank by any Guarantor, Borrower or other party as collateral (in whole or part) for any indebtedness or obligation evidenced or secured by this Guaranty, whether such condition is known or unknown, now exists or subsequently arises (excluding only conditions which arise after acquisition by the Bank of any such property, in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, due to the wrongful act or omission of the Bank, or any person other than the Borrowers or any one of them, the Subsidiaries, or Affiliates of the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries), and this Guaranty shall thereafter be enforceable against the Guarantors to the extent of all such liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Bank as the direct or indirect result of any such environmental condition but only for which the Borrowers are, or any one of them is, obligated to the Bank pursuant to the Credit Agreement. For purposes of this Guaranty “environmental condition” includes, without limitation, conditions existing with respect to the surface or ground water, drinking water supply, land surface or subsurface strata and the ambient air.

Each of the Guarantors irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding brought in any court in or of the State of California (and to the receipt of any and all notices hereunder) by the delivery of copies of such process to Guarantors at their respective addresses identified in Section 11 hereof in the manner set forth therein.
17. Headings. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Guaranty.
18. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR (AND THE BANK BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY EITHER SUCH PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. EACH GUARANTOR AND THE BANK AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH SUCH PARTY FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.
20. Judicial Reference.
(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 clause (iii), below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, any other 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 this Agreement, the Notes or the other 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: (a) foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (b) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (c) appointment of a receiver and (d) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (a) and (b) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (c) and (d). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this 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 (a) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (b) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (c) 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 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 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, THE NOTES OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
21. Limitation under Applicable Insolvency Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is the intention of the Guarantors and the Bank that the amount of the respective Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount thereof not subject to avoidance or recovery by operation of applicable law governing bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent transfers or conveyances or other similar laws (collectively, “Applicable Insolvency Laws”). To that end, but only in the event and to the extent that the Guarantor’s respective obligations hereunder or any payment made pursuant thereto would, but for the operation of the foregoing proviso, be subject to avoidance or recovery under Applicable Insolvency Laws, the amount of the Guarantor’s respective obligations hereunder shall be limited to the largest amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not, under Applicable Insolvency Laws, render the Guarantor’s respective obligations hereunder unenforceable or avoidable or subject to recovery under Applicable Insolvency Laws. To the extent any payment actually made hereunder exceeds the limitation contained in this Section 21, then the amount of such excess shall, from and after the time of payment by the Guarantors (or any of them), be reimbursed by the Bank upon demand by such Guarantors. The foregoing proviso is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Bank hereunder against the Guarantors to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither the Borrowers nor any one of them, nor any Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 21 that would not otherwise be available under Applicable Insolvency Laws.
