Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit C. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(b) to Borrowers’ deposit account.

Unless Borrowers shall have deposited with Bank cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all undrawn amounts under each such Letter of Credit and Bank shall have agreed in writing, no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date that is later than the Revolving Maturity Date. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s form application and letter of credit agreement. Borrowers will pay any standard issuance and other fees that Bank notifies Borrowers will be charged for issuing and processing Letters of Credit for Borrowers.
(ii) As of the date hereof, there are outstanding standby letters of credit in the amount of $802,500 issued by Bank for the account of InPhonic (the “Existing Letter of Credits”). The Existing Letter of Credits shall not be deemed to constitute Letters of Credit hereunder, nor shall the amount of the Existing Letters of Credits be deemed to constitute (a) Revolving Advances for the purpose of calculating availability under the Revolving Facility or (b) Letters of Credit for purposes of determining whether outstanding and undrawn Letters of Credit exceed the $500,000 sublimit.

2.2 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rates.
(i) Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate equal to 0.6% above the Prime Rate.
(ii) Equipment Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), the Equipment Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate equal to 1.5% above the Prime Rate.
(iii) Term Loan. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), the Term Loan shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate equal to 0.95% above the Prime Rate.
(b) Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, Borrowers shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the first calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrowers’ deposit accounts or against the Committed Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.
(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.3 Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrowers specify. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Eastern time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan
4
Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.
2.4 Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Bank the following:
(a) Facility Fee. On the Closing Date, a Facility Fee equal to $31,500, which shall be nonrefundable and which shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any of facility, loan modification or restructuring fee previously paid by Borrowers to Bank;
(b) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as and when they become due.
2.5 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Term Loan Maturity Date.
3. | CONDITIONS OF LOANS. |

The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by each Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2.
4. | CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. |
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to secure prompt performance by each Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in later-acquired Collateral. Notwithstanding any termination, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.
4.2 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Each Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral, all financing statements and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfected Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.
4.3 Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrowers’ usual business hours but no more than twice a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrowers’ Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrowers’ financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. Bank acknowledges and agrees that any information furnished to or obtained by Bank pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 12.8 herein.
5. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. |
Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
5.1 Due Organization and Qualification. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary is a corporation duly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation and qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
6
5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrowers’ powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in such Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which such Borrower is bound. No Borrower is in default under any agreement by which it is bound, which default could have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.3 Collateral. Each Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made.
5.4 Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Borrower is the sole owner of its Intellectual Property Collateral, except for Licenses granted by such Borrowers to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each of the Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and, to Borrowers’ knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Schedule, Borrowers’ rights as licensees of intellectual property do not give rise to more than 5% of their gross revenue in any given month, including without limitation revenue derived from the sale, licensing, rendering or disposition of any product or service.
5.5 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, Borrowers have not done business under any name other than those specified on the signature page hereof. The chief executive office of each Borrower is located at the addresses indicated in Section 10 hereof.
5.6 Litigation. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending by or against any Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court or administrative agency in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or a material adverse effect on Borrowers’ interest or Bank’s security interest in the Collateral.
5.7 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements related to any Borrower and any Subsidiary that are delivered by Borrowers to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrowers’ consolidated financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrowers’ consolidated results of operations for the period then ended. There has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition of Borrowers since the date of the most recent of such financial statements submitted to Bank.
5.8 Solvency, Payment of Debts. Each Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature; the fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of their liabilities; and Borrowers are not left with an unreasonably small amount of capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement relative to the Borrowers’ business and operations.
7
5.9 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from any Borrowers’ failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in such Borrower’s incurring any liability that could have a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. No Borrower is engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Each Borrower has complied in all material respects with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Each Borrower is in compliance with all environmental laws, regulations and ordinances except where the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower has violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it, violation of which could have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be filed, and have paid, or have made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP.
5.10 Subsidiaries. No Borrower owns any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments.
5.11 Government Consents. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of such Borrowers’ business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
5.12 Inbound Licenses. Except as disclosed on the Schedule, no Borrower is party to, nor is bound by, any license or other agreement that prohibits or otherwise restricts such Borrower from granting a security interest in such Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property.
5.13 Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by any Borrower in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank taken together with all such certificates and written statements furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or statements not misleading, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrowers in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

Each Borrower shall deliver to Bank: (a) as soon as available, but in any event within 30 days after the end of each calendar month, a company prepared consolidated balance sheet and income statement covering such Borrower’s consolidated operations during such period, in a form acceptable to Bank and certified by a Responsible Officer; (b) as soon as available, but in any event within 120 days after the end of such Borrower’s fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements of Borrowers prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, together with an opinion which is unqualified or otherwise consented to in writing by Bank on such financial statements of an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Bank; (c) if applicable, copies of all statements, reports and notices sent or made available generally by such Borrower to its security holders or to any holders of Subordinated Debt and all reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (d) promptly upon receipt of notice thereof, a report of any legal actions pending or threatened against such Borrower or any Subsidiary that could result in damages or costs to such Borrower or any Subsidiary of $100,000 or more; (e) such budgets, sales projections, operating plans or other financial information generally prepared by such Borrower in the ordinary course of business as Bank may reasonably request from time to time; and (f) within 30 days of any changes to the Intellectual Property Collateral and within 30 days of the last day of each fiscal year, a report signed by Borrowers, in form reasonably acceptable to Bank, listing any applications or registrations that Borrowers have made or filed in respect of any Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks and the status of any outstanding applications or registrations, as well as any change in Borrowers’ Intellectual Property Collateral, including but not limited to any subsequent ownership right of any Borrower in or to any Trademark, Patent or Copyright not specified in Exhibits A, B, and C of the Intellectual Property Security Agreements delivered to Bank by Borrowers in connection with this Agreement.

Returns and allowances, if any, as between any Borrower and its account debtors shall be on the same basis and in accordance with the usual customary practices of such Borrower, as they exist on the Closing Date. Each Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all returns and recoveries and of all disputes and claims involving more than $100,000.

6.5 Insurance.
(a) Each Borrower, at its expense, shall keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and all other hazards and risks, and in such amounts, as ordinarily insured against by other owners in similar businesses conducted in the locations where such Borrower’s business is conducted on the date hereof. Each Borrower shall also maintain liability and other insurance in amounts and of a type that are customary to businesses similar to such Borrower’s business.
(b) All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies, and in such amounts as reasonably satisfactory to Bank. All policies of property insurance shall contain a lender’s loss payable endorsement, in a form satisfactory to Bank, showing Bank as an additional loss payee, and all liability insurance policies shall show Bank as an additional insured and specify that the insurer must give at least 20 days notice to Bank before canceling its policy for any reason. Upon Bank’s request, Borrowers shall deliver to Bank certified copies of the policies of insurance and evidence of all premium payments. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, proceeds payable under any casualty policy will, at Borrowers’ option, be payable to Borrowers to replace the property subject to the claim, provided that any such replacement property shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all proceeds payable under any such policy shall, at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank to be applied on account of the Obligations.

6.10 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time Borrowers shall execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Bank to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

7.8 Transactions with Affiliates. Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of any Borrower except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrowers’ business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to such Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrowers:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any Borrower and Bank;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;
(d) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Each Borrower agrees to assemble
15
the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Each Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrowers’ owned premises, each Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(e) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower held by Bank;
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrowers’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;
(g) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrowers’ premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
(h) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
(i) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrowers.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoint Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrowers’ true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrowers’ names on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign Borrowers’ names on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrowers’ policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (g) to modify, in its sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement entered into between Borrowers and Bank without first obtaining Borrowers’ approval of or signature to such
16
modification by amending Exhibits A, B, and C, thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by any Borrower after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which a Borrower no longer has or claims to have any right, title or interest; (h) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral; and (i) to transfer the Intellectual Property Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party to the extent permitted under the UCC; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrowers on any of the documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrowers’ attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.
9.3 Accounts Collection. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrowers of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrowers shall collect all amounts owing to Borrowers for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses. If any Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to such Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Facility as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9207 of the UCC, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrowers’ part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No
17
delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand; Protest. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which such Borrower may in any way be liable.

12.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information Bank and all employees and agents of Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that Bank exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrowers, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrowers and have delivered a copy to Borrowers, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder.

20
indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any Borrower from any of the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise; (e) except as expressly provided herein, all notices whatsoever, including notice of acceptance of the incurring of the Obligations; (f) any right it may have to require Bank to disclose to it any information that Bank may now or hereafter acquire concerning the financial condition or any circumstances that bears on the risk of nonpayment by any other Borrower, including the release of such other Borrower from its Obligations hereunder; and (g) any requirement that Bank exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any other Borrower or any other security for, or any guarantor of, or any other party liable for, any of the Obligations, or any portion thereof. Each Borrower specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required, and Borrowers shall not be entitled to require, that Bank (i) file suit or proceed to assert or obtain a claim for personal judgment against any other Borrower for all or any part of the Obligations; (ii) make any effort at collection or enforcement of all or any part of the Obligations from any Borrower; (iii) foreclose against or seek to realize upon the Collateral or any other security now or hereafter existing for all or any part of the Obligations; (iv) file suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against any Borrower or any guarantor or other party liable for all or any part of the Obligations; (v) exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which Bank is or may be entitled in connection with the Obligations or any security or guaranty relating thereto to assert; or (vi) file any claim against assets of one Borrower before or as a condition of enforcing the liability of any other Borrower under this Agreement.

(b) Any and all rights that would result in such Borrower being deemed a “creditor” under the United States Code of any other Borrower or any other Person, on account of payments made or obligations performed by such Borrower; and
(c) Until such time as the Obligations have been satisfied in full, any claim, right or remedy which it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by it hereunder including any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of Bank against any other Borrower or any collateral security which Bank now has or may hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise.
14. | No Novation. |
Nothing contained herein shall in any way impair the Original Loan Documents now held for the Obligations, nor affect or impair any rights, powers, or remedies under the Original Loan Documents, it being the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the Original Loan Documents or an accord and satisfaction of the Obligations.
21
Borrower hereby ratifies and reaffirms the validity and enforceability of all of the liens and security interests heretofore granted pursuant to the Original Loan Documents and the Loan Documents (as therein defined), as collateral security for the Obligations, and acknowledges that all of such liens and security interests, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for the Obligations, continues to be and remains Collateral for the Obligations from and after the date hereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.

Except for trial, all proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee shall be conducted without a court reporter unless a party requests a court reporter. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay for the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties shall equally bear the costs of the court reporter at the trial and the referee’s expenses.
(c) The referee shall determine all issues in accordance with existing California case and statutory law. California rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law will apply to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, to provide all temporary and/or provisional remedies and to enter equitable orders that shall be binding upon the parties. At the close of the reference proceeding, the referee shall issue a single judgment at disposing of all the claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference.
