2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lenders the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.1.1 Term Loans.

(a) Initial Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Initial Draw Period, SVB and VLL each agrees, severally and not jointly, to make one term loan available to Borrower in the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Amount (each a “Term Loan”), and the Borrower agrees to borrow such Term Loans.

(b) Additional Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Additional Draw Period, upon Borrower’s Enterprise Coverage Ratio becoming equal to or less than the Maximum Enterprise Coverage Ratio (the “Enterprise Coverage Milestone”) and provided that Borrower’s Enterprise Coverage Ratio is equal to or less than the Maximum Enterprise Coverage Ratio on the Funding Date of the Additional Term Loan, HTF agrees to make one term loan available to Borrower in the amount of HTF’s Term Loan Commitment Amount (the “Additional Term Loan”, a “Term Loan”, and collectively with SVB’s Term Loan and VLL’s Term Loan, the “Term Loans”), and the Borrower agrees to borrow the Additional Term Loan. Borrower agrees to provide each of HTF, SVB and VLL with immediate written notice of Borrower’s Enterprise Coverage becoming equal to or less than the Maximum Enterprise Coverage Ratio.

(c) Interest Payments. Commencing on the Payment Date of the first month following the month in which the Funding Date occurs for a Term Loan and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest on such Term Loan, in arrears, at the rate set forth in Section 2.3.

(d) Repayment. Borrower shall repay each Term Loan in 30 consecutive equal monthly payments, each consisting of the interest required to be paid with respect to such Term Loan pursuant to subsection “c” above plus a portion of the principal of such Term Loan, in the amount necessary to fully amortize such Term Loan over such period (such amount to be calculated by Facility Agent), commencing on July 1, 2009 (the “Term Loan Amortization Date”) and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter until December 1, 2011 (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”) on which date the entire unpaid principal balance of such Term Loan, plus the Final Payment with respect to such Term Loan, plus any and all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such Term Loan, and plus all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to such Term Loan, shall be paid. The Term Loans may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.1.1(e) and 2.1.1(f). After repayment, the Term Loans may not be re-borrowed.

(e) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If all or a portion of any Term Loan becomes due and payable according to the terms hereof because of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, on the date that it has become due and payable according to the terms hereof Borrower shall pay to the Lender to which such Term Loan is owed, in addition to any other sums owing, a fee equal to the Make-Whole Premium with respect to such Term Loan, plus the Final Payment with respect to such Term Loan. Without limitation on the fact that such amounts shall be due as set forth in the preceding sentence, such amounts shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations.

(f) Permitted Prepayment of Loans. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans advanced by Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to each Lender of Borrower’s election to prepay the Term Loans at least ten (10) but not more than thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to Lenders, on the date of such prepayment (A) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest of the Term Loans, (B) a fee equal to the Make-Whole Premium with respect to each Term Loan, (C) the Final Payment with respect to each Term Loan, plus (D) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable. Without limitation on the fact that such Make-Whole Premiums and Final Payments shall be due on the date of the prepayment, such amounts shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations.

(g) Payment Instructions for HTF and VLL Term Loans. Regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest of the Term Loan made by VLL and each Final Payment with respect thereto shall be effected by VLL by automatic debit of the appropriate funds from the Designated Deposit Account. In further of the foregoing, Borrower will: (i) authorize VLL to initiate debit entries to the Designated Deposit Account through Automated Clearinghouse (“ACH”) transfers, in order to satisfy regularly scheduled payments of principal, interest and Final Payments; (ii) provide VLL at least thirty (30) days notice of any change in the Designated Deposit Account; and (iii) grant VLL any additional authorizations necessary to begin ACH debits from a new account which becomes the Designated Deposit Account.

(h) Secured Promissory Notes. Borrower’s obligations to pay each Lender its Term Loan, and interest thereon, shall, at the option of such Lender, be further evidenced by a secured promissory note in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto in favor of such Lender (each a “Secured Promissory Note”). As of the Effective Date, HTF and VLL are each requiring such a Secured Promissory Note, but SVB is not. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made, at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note, an appropriate notation on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record reflecting the making of such Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of each Term Loan set forth on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Secured Promissory Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Secured Promissory Note when due. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of its Secured Promissory Note, with an appropriate indemnity in favor of Borrower, the Borrower shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Secured Promissory Note in the same principal amount thereof and of like tenor. Nothing in the Secured Promissory Notes shall be deemed to limit any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and all of Lenders’ rights and remedies hereunder, under the Secured Promissory Notes, and under the Loan Documents are cumulative. In case of any conflict between the terms of the Secured Promissory Notes and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

(i) Definition of “Lenders”. In this Agreement, SVB and VLL are each individually referred to as a “Lender” and are referred to collectively as the “Lenders”. In addition, (i) as of the Effective Date and continuing until the end of the Additional Draw Period, HTF also shall be individually referred to as a “Lender”, and be referred to collectively with SVB and VLL as the “Lenders”, in all provisions of this Agreement other than Sections 8.6, 9.1(a), 9.1(d), 9.1(e), 9.1(h) through 9.1(k), 9.2, and 9.3, for which references to “Lender” and “Lenders” shall not include HTF, (ii) if HTF has not made the Additional Term Loan by the end of the Additional Draw Period, then from the end of the Additional Draw Period forward, without the need for any notice, consent or other action, HTF shall be deemed not included in references to “Lender” and “Lenders” in any provisions of this Agreement other than Sections 2.4(a), 2.4(c) (but only with respect to Lenders Expenses incurred prior to such date), 11, 12.2, 12.8 and 12.9, for which references to “Lender” and “Lenders” shall be deemed to continue to include HTF, and (iii) if HTF makes the Additional Term Loan by the end of the Additional Draw Period, then from the date HTF makes the Additional Term Loan forward, without the need for any notice, consent or other action, HTF shall be deemed included in references to “Lender” and “Lenders” in all provisions of this Agreement.

2.2 Several Obligations. Each of the Lender’s obligations to make its Term Loan is several and in no event shall any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Term Loan to be made by such other Lender.

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amounts outstanding under the Term Loans shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to (i) the sum of twelve percent (12.0%) plus the applicable LIBOR Margin through the date immediately prior to the Term Loan Amortization Date, and (ii) the sum of eleven percent (11.00%) plus the applicable LIBOR Margin on and after the Term Loan Amortization Date; which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.3(f) below. For purposes of the foregoing, the LIBOR Margin to be used in determining the fixed interest rates applicable to the Term Loans made by SVB and VLL shall calculated differently than the LIBOR Margin to be used in determining the fixed interest rates applicable to the Additional Term Loan. For purposes of the Term Loans made by SVB and VLL, “LIBOR Margin” shall mean the percentage points (or fraction thereof), if any, by which the one month “London interbank offered rate, or Libor”, as reported in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal published on the fifth Business Day prior to the earliest Funding Date of the Term Loans made by SVB and VLL, exceeds 2.46%. For purposes of the Additional Term Loan, “LIBOR Margin” shall have the same meaning as in the prior sentence except that the one month “London interbank offered rate, or Libor”, shall be as reported in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal published on the fifth Business Day prior to the Funding Date of the Additional Term Loan. As examples applicable to the Term Loans made by SVB and VLL and the Additional Term Loan, if on the applicable date such London interbank offered rate is equal to or less than 2.46%, then the LIBOR Margin shall be zero and the fixed per annum interest rate applicable to the Term Loans shall be 12% until the Term Loan Amortization Date and 11% after the Term Loan Amortization Date, but if on such date such London interbank offered rate is 2.54%, then the LIBOR Margin shall be 0.08 percentage points and the fixed per annum interest rate applicable to the Term Loans shall be 12.08% until the Term Loan Amortization Date and 11.08% after the Term Loan Amortization Date. Facility Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Term Loans in accordance with the foregoing.

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Lender.

(d) 360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Debit of Accounts. Borrower authorizes each Lender to debit Borrower’s deposit accounts, including without limitation the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes any Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

-3-

(f) Payments. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including without limitation Lender Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Interest on an Obligation that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the same rate as the principal thereof.

2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lenders:

(a) Commitment Fee. On the Effective Date, a fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of $125,000 to be shared between the Lenders pursuant to their respective Commitment Percentages. Lenders and Borrower agree that the balance of the $75,000 deposit paid by Borrower to Lenders pursuant to the October 8, 2008 proposal letter remaining after payment of the Lender Expenses shall be applied to such commitment fee.

(b) Late Payment Fee. If Borrower is late in making any payment of principal, interest, Make-Whole Premium, or Final Payment under this Agreement by more than five (5) Business Days, Borrower agrees to pay a late charge of five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount due, but not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge may be charged by the Lenders for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Lenders due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the rights of Lenders to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare an Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lenders.

(c) Lender Expenses. All Lender Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, plus expenses, for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, upon demand.

Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Lenders’ Liens under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify each Lender in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Lenders in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders.

If this Agreement is terminated, Lenders’ Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as all Lenders’ obligations to make Credit Extensions have terminated, each Lender agrees, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.

4.3 Security Interest in Excluded Collateral. As of the Effective Date, the Excluded Collateral is excluded from the Collateral for which Borrower has granted Lenders a security interest. If Borrower shall ever fail to have Five Months Remaining Liquidity, then the Excluded Collateral shall from that time forward (automatically, without the need for any notice or other action) be deemed to be included within the definition of “Collateral” hereunder and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Borrower shall be deemed to have granted Lenders a security interest in, and pledged to Lenders, the Excluded Collateral to secure the payment and performance of all Obligations, (b) Borrower shall execute any further instruments and take further actions as Lenders reasonably request to perfect or protect Lenders’ security interest in the Excluded Collateral, including, without limitation, by executing and delivering to Lenders an Intellectual Property Security Agreement in the form of that attached hereto as Exhibit D (and completing/updating the exhibits thereto), and (c) without limitation on Borrower’s obligation to execute and deliver the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, if Borrower fails to do so within five (5) days after Lenders’ written request, any Lender may execute the Intellectual Property Security Agreement on Borrower’s behalf and in Borrower’s name as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact.

For purposes of clarity (and not in limitation on Lenders’ right to appoint agents for other security interest perfection purposes without the consent or confirmation by Borrower), Borrower hereby

9 LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Lenders may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

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

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

(d) terminate any foreign exchange contracts among Borrower and any Lender;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Lenders determine reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security

-15-

interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of any Lender or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints each Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and no Lender is under further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Lenders’ foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorneys in fact, and all of Lenders’ rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lenders’ obligations to provide Credit Extensions terminate.

9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lenders may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lenders are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral. Lenders will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Lenders obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Lenders are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Lenders shall allocate or apply any payments made by Borrower to any Lender or otherwise received by any Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lenders may apply any funds in their possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, and may apply any set off, to the Obligations in such order as Lenders shall determine in their sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Lenders for any deficiency. If Lenders, in their good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enter into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lenders shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Lenders of cash therefor.

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

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

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

As examples (and not in limitation of the generality of the foregoing), for purposes of a disposition of Collateral under Division 9 of the Code, (a) Lenders or Lenders’ agent may, at the option of Lenders, credit bid the aggregate of the Term Loans and other Obligations owed to the Lenders, and (b) the Borrower may not exercise any right it may have to tender debt for purposes of redeeming Collateral by tendering less than the aggregate of the Term Loans and other Obligations owed to the Lenders. In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders may agree among themselves pursuant to an intercreditor or other agreement that payments and proceeds received with respect to the Obligations and/or the Collateral may be allocated in a certain way among the Lenders and that, for this purpose, a payment or proceed received by one Lender may be delivered to another Lender for application to the Obligations owed that Lender and in furtherance thereof payments and proceeds may be applied and reversed and re-applied.

11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE

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

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND LENDERS EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS 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 AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

-18-

WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Xxxxx County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to such Lender’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (it being understood that the Subsidiaries or Affiliates to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) or to other Lenders; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, the prospective transfering or selling Lender shall obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this Section 12.9); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to such Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with such Lender’s examination or audit; (e) as such Lender considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of such Lender so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with such Lender with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein.

Each Lender may use confidential information (other than the Additional Reports provided pursuant to Schedule 2 hereto) for any purpose, including, without limitation, for the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis, so long as such Lender does not disclose Borrower’s identity or the identity of any person associated with Borrower unless otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
