Borrower
now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, claims, or
counterclaims against Bank, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby
expressly WAIVED and Borrower hereby RELEASES Bank from any liability thereunder.
12. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing
Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set
forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan
Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force
and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Loan
Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the
Obligations. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the
Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of
Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker will
be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement.

The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Loan
Agreement.
14. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. Illinois law governs this Loan
Modification Agreement without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Illinois; provided,
however, that if for any reason Bank cannot avail itself of such courts in the State of Illinois,
Borrower accepts jurisdiction of the courts and venue in Santa Xxxxx County, California.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BANK SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST
BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH BANK DEEMS NECESSARY OR
APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE BANK’S RIGHTS AGAINST
BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY.
BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING
OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY CONTEMPLATED
TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY
HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
15. COUNTERSIGNATURE. This Loan Modification Agreement shall become effective only when it
shall have been executed by Borrower and Bank.
