- 16 -
(b) each Disbursement Date under this Agreement must be a Business Day. Proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used solely for Borrower’s working capital requirements and other corporate purposes.
2.2 Revolving Credit Note. The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note, executed by Borrower, dated the Effective Date, payable to Bank on the Termination Date (unless sooner accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), and in the principal amount of the original Revolving Commitment Amount. The date and amount of each Revolving Loan made by Bank and of each repayment of principal thereon received by Bank shall be recorded by Bank in its records. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded by Bank shall (absent manifest error) constitute the best evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on the Revolving Credit Note, provided, however, that the failure by Bank so to record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Note to repay the principal amount of all the Revolving Loans together with all interest accrued or accruing thereon.
2.3 Mandatory Payments. Borrower shall pay to Bank the amount, if any, by which:
(a) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at any time exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Commitment Amount or the Borrowing Base, or
(b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus all Ex-Im Facility Loans outstanding at any time exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Cap Amount;
together with all interest accrued and unpaid on the amount of such excess. Such payment shall be immediately due and owing without notice or demand upon the occurrence of any such excess.
2.4 Requests for Advances.
(a) Borrower may request an Advance, only after delivery to Bank of a Request for Advance executed by a person identified on Schedule 2.4 or otherwise previously authorized (in a writing delivered to Bank) by Borrower to execute such Request. A Request for Advance must be delivered by 2:00 p.m. (California time) on the proposed Disbursement Date. Each Request for Advance shall constitute Borrower’s certification, as of the date thereof that all conditions to Advances have been satisfied, and shall remain satisfied to the applicable Disbursement Date (both before and after giving effect to such Advance).
(b) Bank may also, at its option, lend under this Section upon the telephone request of a person identified on Schedule 2.4 or otherwise previously authorized (in a writing delivered to Bank) by Borrower to make such requests and, in the event Bank makes any such Advance upon a telephone request, the requesting person shall fax to Bank, on the same day as such telephone request, a Request for Advance. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to disburse Advances under this Section pursuant to the telephone instructions of any person purporting to be a person identified by name on Schedule 2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone request.
2.5 Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make a term loan to Borrower on the Effective Date in the principal amount of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000).

- 17 -
2.6 Term Note. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Note, executed by Borrower, dated the Effective Date, and in the principal amount of the Term Loan. The principal of the Term Note shall be payable (unless sooner accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), in equal monthly installments of $138,888.89 plus accrued interest each on the first day of each consecutive calendar month commencing January 1, 2011. All outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable under the Term Note on the Maturity Date.
2.7 Interest. The Term Loan and the Revolving Loans shall bear interest at their respective Applicable Interest Rates, or as otherwise determined under the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Term Loan shall bear interest at 7.25% per annum from the Effective Date through June 30, 2010. For each Loan, interest shall be payable monthly commencing on July 1, 2010, and on the first day of each succeeding month, until the maturity of the applicable Note (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise) and during a Continuing Event of Default or after maturity (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise), such Loan shall be payable on demand. Interest on the Loans will be further subject to the following provisions:
(a) Basis of Computation. Interest accruing shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation, effect shall be given to any change in an Applicable Interest Rate as a result of any change in the Applicable Rate Index on the date of each such change.
(b) Suspension of Applicable Rate Index. If, at any time, Bank determines that, (i) Bank is unable to determine or ascertain the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR-based Rate, or (ii) by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars in the applicable amounts or for the relative maturities are not being offered to Bank, or (iii) the Applicable Rate Index plus the Applicable Margin will not accurately or fairly cover or reflect the cost to Bank of maintaining a Loan under the applicable Note, then Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrower. Thereafter, until Bank notifies Borrower that such conditions or circumstances no longer exist, the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall be the Applicable Interest Rate for the Loan under the applicable Note hereunder during such period of time.
(c) Default Rate. During a Continuing Event of Default, the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be payable on demand.
2.8 LIBOR Lending Office. If Bank shall designate a LIBOR Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of Bank, Bank shall have the option of maintaining and carrying any Note, and the indebtedness thereunder, on the books of the LIBOR Lending Office.
2.9 Prepayment.
(a) Order of Application. Any partial prepayment under a Note shall be applied to the principal installments due under the Note, if any, in the inverse order of their maturities.
(b) Under Floating Rate. Any Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty or premium at any time its Applicable Interest Rate is based on the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate or the Prime Referenced Rate. Any Loan may be repaid in whole or in part without penalty or premium except for the premium, if any, required by Section 2.9(c) at any time its Applicable Interest Rate is based on the LIBOR-based Rate.
- 18 -
(c) Under LIBOR-based Rate (Yield Protection). If (i) any payment or prepayment of any of the principal amount of a Loan that is bearing interest based on the LIBOR-based Rate occurs on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period (whether voluntarily, by acceleration, or otherwise), (ii) the interest rate on any Loan that is bearing interest based on the LIBOR-based Rate is changed during any Interest Period under or otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof, or (iii) Borrower fails to pay when due any principal or interest on a Loan at any time that it bears interest based on the LIBOR-based Rate, Borrower shall reimburse Bank on demand for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred by Bank, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits from third parties. The amount payable by Borrower to Bank hereunder may include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (y) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amounts so paid or prepaid for the period from the date of payment through the last day of the applicable Interest Period, at the Applicable Interest Rate for such Loan, over (z) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Bank) which would have accrued to Bank on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the inter-bank eurodollar market. Calculation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Section shall be made as though Bank shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund any Loan in any manner it deems fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this Section. Upon the written request of Borrower, Bank shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth bases for determining such losses, costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest effort.
(d) BY INITIALING BELOW, BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE(S) AND AGREE(S) THAT: (i) THERE IS NO RIGHT TO PREPAY ANY INDEBTEDNESS HEREUNDER BEARING INTEREST AT A RATE BASED ON THE LIBOR-BASED RATE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT PAYING THE PREPAYMENT AMOUNT SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.9(C) (“PREPAYMENT AMOUNT”), EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW; (ii) BORROWER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR PAYMENT OF THE PREPAYMENT AMOUNT IF BANK EXERCISES ITS RIGHT TO ACCELERATE PAYMENT OF ANY INDEBTEDNESS HEREUNDER BEARING INTEREST AT A RATE BASED ON THE LIBOR-BASED RATE AS PART OR ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS OWING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACCELERATION UNDER A DUE-ON-SALE PROVISION; (iii) BORROWER WAIVE(S) ANY RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 2954.10 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE; AND (iv) BANK HAS MADE OR EXTENDED THE LOAN OR CREDIT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IN RELIANCE ON THESE AGREEMENTS.
_______________________
BORROWER'S INITIALS
2.10 Maximum Rate. At no time shall the interest rate payable on any Loan be deemed to exceed the Legal Rate. In the event any interest is charged or received by Bank in excess of the Legal Rate, Borrower acknowledge that any such excess interest shall be the result of an accidental and bona fide error, and such excess shall first be applied to reduce the principal then unpaid hereunder (in inverse order of their maturities if principal amounts are due in installments); second, applied to reduce any of the other Obligations; and third, any remaining excess returned to Borrower.
- 19 -
2.11 Late Payment Charges. If any payment due under any Loan or any Note is not received by Bank within 10 calendar days after its due date, Bank may charge a late payment charge equal to 5.00% of the delinquent payment. Borrower agrees that the late payment charge is a reasonable estimate of the administrative costs which Bank will incur in processing the delinquency. Bank’s acceptance of a late payment and/or of the late payment charge will not waive any Default or Event of Default or affect the acceleration of the Obligations or the exercise of any right or remedy of Bank under this Agreement.
2.12 Sweep Account Payments. Subject to the terms and conditions of any separate “sweep account” agreement made between Borrower and Bank, for Borrower’s convenience and at its request and risk, at the end of each Business Day, all cash balances in Borrower’s designated demand deposit may be swept to the loan account maintained by Bank for the Revolving Credit and applied to reduce the principal amount of the Revolving Loans if any.
2.13 Dominion of Funds. Borrower shall at its sole expense establish and maintain (and Bank, at Bank’s option, may establish and maintain at Borrower’s expense): (a) an United States Post Office lock box (the “Lock Box”), to which Bank shall have exclusive access and control. Borrower expressly authorizes Bank, from time to time, to remove contents from the Lock Box, for disposition in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower agrees to notify all account debtors and other parties obligated to Borrower that all payments made to Borrower (other than payments by electronic funds transfer) shall be remitted, for the credit of Borrower, to the Lock Box, and Borrower shall include a like statement on all invoices; and (b) an interest bearing deposit account with Bank which shall be titled as designated by Bank (the “Cash Collateral Account”) to which Bank shall have exclusive access and control. Borrower agrees to notify all account debtors and other parties obligated to Borrower that all payments made to Borrower by electronic funds transfer shall be remitted to the Cash Collateral Account, and Borrower, at Bank’s request, shall include a like statement on all invoices. Borrower shall execute all documents and authorizations as required by Bank to establish and maintain the Lock Box and the Cash Collateral Account.
2.14 Basis of Payments. All sums payable by Borrower to Bank under this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be paid directly to Bank at its office in San Jose, California in immediately available United States funds, without set off, deduction or counterclaim. In its sole discretion, Bank may charge any and all deposit or other accounts (including without limit an account evidenced by a certificate of deposit) of any Borrower with Bank for all or a part of any Obligations then due; provided, however, that this authorization shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay, when due, any Obligations whether or not account balances are sufficient to pay amounts due.
2.15 Payments on Saturdays, Etc. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension, if any, shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
2.16 Receipt of Payments. Any payment of the Obligations made by mail will be deemed tendered and received only upon actual receipt by Bank at the address designated for such payment, whether or not Bank has authorized payment by mail or any other manner, and shall not be deemed to have been made in a timely manner unless received on the date due for such payment, time being of the essence. Borrower expressly assume all risks of loss or liability resulting from non-delivery or delay of delivery of any item of payment transmitted by mail or in any other manner. Acceptance by Bank of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default unless and until waived by Bank in writing, and at any time thereafter (unless such Event of Default has been waived by Bank) and until the entire amount then due has been paid, Bank shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights
- 20 -
conferred upon it herein upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Borrower waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by Bank from or on behalf of Borrower. Borrower agree that Bank shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter against the Obligations in such manner as Bank may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Bank upon any of its books and records.
2.17 Fees.
(a) Term Loan Fee. On the Effective Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank a commitment fee of $75,000.00 for the Term Loan.
(b) Preparation Fees. Upon demand of Bank from time to time, Borrower shall pay to Bank the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including without limit reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether of inside or outside counsel, and disbursements) incurred by Bank from time to time in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and related instruments and/or the making (or preparation for the making) of the Loans or any advances hereunder.
2.18 Basis of Computation. The amount of all interest and fees hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days.
2.19 Termination or Reduction in Commitment. Borrower, at any time and from time to time (except as may hereinafter be provided), upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice received by Bank, may permanently terminate Bank’s commitment to make Revolving Loans under this Agreement or permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment Amount by an integral multiple of $100,000.00, provided, however, that Borrower, on the effective date of such termination or reduction, shall pay to Bank, in the case of a termination, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans, or, in the case of a reduction, the amount, if any, by which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans exceeds the then reduced Revolving Commitment Amount, together in either case with all interest accrued and unpaid on the principal amounts so prepaid, but without other premium. The notice shall specify the Termination Date or the reduced Revolving Commitment Amount and the effective date of the reduction, as the case may be. Borrower may not revoke any such notice of termination or reduction without the prior written consent of Bank.
2.20 Invalidated Payments. Borrower expressly agrees that to the extent that Bank receives any payment or benefit and such payment or benefit, or any part thereof, is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or benefit, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or benefit had not been made and, further, any such repayment by Bank, to the extent that Bank did not directly receive a corresponding cash payment, shall be added to and be additional Obligations payable upon demand by Bank.

- 38 -
appropriate to clean up, remove, resolve or minimize the impact of any Hazardous Material or Environmental Complaint upon Bank’s receipt of any notice from any source asserting the existence of any Hazardous Material or an Environmental Complaint pertaining to that Borrower location(s) which, if true, could result in an order, suit or other action against Borrower and/or any of the Borrower’s location(s) which, in the sole opinion of Bank, could jeopardize its security under this Agreement or any related document. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Bank in the exercise of any such rights shall be secured by the collateral contemplated hereunder and shall be payable by Borrower upon demand.

Thereafter, (a) the obligation of Bank to make or maintain any of the Loans with interest based on a LIBOR-indexed Rate, and any right of Borrower to elect an interest rate based on a LIBOR-indexed Rate as the Applicable Interest Rate for any of the Loans, shall be suspended, and thereafter, until Bank gives notice to Borrower that the conditions or circumstances causing or giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall be the Applicable Interest Rate for the Obligations outstanding under the Loan; and (b) if Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain any of the Obligations outstanding under a Note with interest based on a LIBOR-indexed Rate to the end of a then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall be the Applicable Interest Rate for the remainder of such Interest Period.
9.2 Tax or Reserve Requirement. If the adoption after the Effective Date, or any change after the Effective Date in, any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency after the Effective Date, including, without limitation, any risk based capital guidelines:
(a) shall subject Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any of the Obligations or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on any of the Obligations or any other amounts due under any Loan in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office or LIBOR Lending Office is located); or
(b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or shall impose on Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets of any other condition affecting any of or the Obligations;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of maintaining any part of the Obligations or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under any Loan by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then Bank shall promptly notify Borrower of such fact and
- 39 -
demand compensation therefor from Borrower, and, within fifteen (15) days after such demand by Bank, Borrower agrees to pay to Bank such additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of Bank, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower, setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
9.3 Capital Maintenance. In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk-based capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank (or any corporation controlling Bank), and Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or the making of any of the Loans or maintaining the Obligations and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or the making of such Loan or maintaining of such Obligations to a level below that which Bank (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then Borrower shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which Bank reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or to the making of such loan or maintaining the indebtedness hereunder. A certificate of Bank as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

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 Borrower (such parties to be subject to substantially the same obligations of confidentiality as Bank), (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 Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (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 reasonably determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.
10.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures were upon the same instrument.
10.15 Headings. Article and section headings in this Agreement are included for the convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any purpose.
10.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Bank and Borrower knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive any right either of them may have to a trial by jury in any litigation based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any related instrument or agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any course of conduct, dealing, statements (whether oral or written) or action of either of them. Neither Bank nor Borrower shall seek to consolidate, by counterclaim or otherwise, any such action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived. These provisions shall not be deemed to have been modified in any respect or relinquished by Bank or Borrower except by a written instrument executed by both of them.
10.17 Judicial Reference. In the event that the Jury Trial Waiver provision contained in the Section 10.16 is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference provision
(a) With the exception of the items specified in clause (b), below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 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 the Agreement, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).
(b) The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) non-judicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This Agreement
- 43 -
does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) 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).
(d) 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.
(e) 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, 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.
(f) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, 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.
(g) 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 trial, 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
- 44 -
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.
(h) 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.
(i) THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES 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 THEIR 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 WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT.

Capitalized terms used in this opinion which are otherwise not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
We have acted as general corporate counsel to the Borrower in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the following documents (collectively, the "Loan Documents"):

the Revolving Credit Note dated the date hereof issued by the Borrower to Lender in the principal amount of $5,000,000;

|
7.
|
the Master Revolving Note (Ex-Im Facility Loan) dated the date hereof made by the Borrower in favor of Lender (the in the principal amount of $7,000,000.
|
As such counsel, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Loan Documents.
In addition, we have examined (i) original or certified, conformed or photostatic copies of (a) the organizational documents, as amended to date, of the Borrower, and (b) the records of the corporate proceedings of the Borrower relating to the financing transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Ex-Im Facility Loan Agreement, and (ii) such other documents, records, certificates and legal matters as we have deemed necessary or relevant for purposes of issuing the opinions hereinafter expressed.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. We have also assumed that each document is complete and what it purports to be and that all documents submitted to us have not been amended or modified since the date submitted, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents. As to any facts material to this opinion letter we have relied solely upon (and have assumed without investigating the accuracy or completeness of) written certificates, written statements and representations and warranties of officers and other representatives of the Borrower (including, without limitation, representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents), the representations and warranties of the other parties contained in the Loan Documents, and certificates of public officials.
Our opinions expressed in paragraph 1, insofar as they relate to the legal existence and good standing of the Borrower, are based solely on the certificates attached hereto as Exhibit A and are limited accordingly, and, as to such matters, our opinions are rendered as of the respective dates of such certificates.
In rendering this opinion letter, we have not undertaken any factual investigation into the business, properties, agreements, corporate action, litigation, or affairs of the Borrower, and any limited inquiry undertaken by us during the preparation of this opinion letter should not in any way be regarded as such investigation, and, without limiting the foregoing, we note that we have made no examination of dockets or other public records. Please be advised that we do not represent the Borrower with regard to patent prosecution and related intellectual property matters.
As used in this opinion letter with respect to any matter, the qualifying phrases “to our knowledge” and “known to us”, or words of similar import, means the actual knowledge only of those Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP attorneys who were actively involved in our representation of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy or completeness of any statements so qualified, and no inference as to the accuracy or completeness of such statements should be drawn from our representation of the Borrower or our rendering the opinions set forth below. We express no opinion as to any matter that arises as a result of the nature of the business of the Borrower.
We have assumed that Lender has all requisite power and authority and has taken all necessary corporate or other action (including, without limitation, obtaining all governmental approvals, authorizations and consents and making all necessary filings with all applicable governmental entities required on its part) to authorize it to enter into, execute, and deliver each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to effect the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. We have assumed that Lender has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and that each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party constitutes the legal, valid, binding, and enforceable obligation of Lender and is enforceable against Lender in accordance with the respective terms thereof. We have assumed that all laws, rules, regulations and decisions applicable to this opinion letter are generally available in terms of access and distribution following publication or other release and are in a format which makes legal research reasonably feasible. We have assumed that Lender has all requisite power and
authority under any law or regulation of the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. We have assumed for the purposes of our opinion that Lender is subject to control, regulation or examination by a state or federal regulatory agency within the meaning of Section 49(e) of Chapter 271 of the Massachusetts General Laws or is in compliance with Section 49(d) of Chapter 271 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The opinions expressed below are qualified to the extent that Lender could be barred from maintaining an action or obtaining a recovery in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts if Lender is doing business therein (within the meaning of M.G.L. c. 181) without complying with the requirements of M.G.L. c. 181.
The opinions expressed herein are qualified to the extent that the legality, validity, binding effect, or enforceability of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents or the availability or enforceability of any remedies made applicable to the Borrower thereby may be subject to or limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and conveyance, receivership, equitable subordination and other similar laws or doctrines of general application relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or secured parties generally, which laws or doctrines may be in effect from time to time, (ii) general principles of equity, whether applied in a proceeding in equity or at law, including without limitation the principle that equitable remedies, such as the remedy of specific performance, are subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought, (iii) the application by courts of competent jurisdiction of laws, rules, regulations, court decisions, and constitutional requirements deemed to have a paramount public interest, (iv) statutory and decisional law concerning recourse by a creditor to security in the absence of notice and a hearing, (v) limitations on the legality, validity, binding effect, or enforceability of waivers, provisions in the nature of penalties, rights of set-off, self-help provisions and exculpatory provisions contained in the Loan Documents to the extent the same may be limited by public policy, equitable principles, or applicable laws, rules, regulations, court decisions, and constitutional requirements, and (vi) any duty of Lender to act in good faith and, with respect to collateral security, any duty of Lender to act, as to any aspect of any disposition thereof or realization thereon, in a commercially reasonable manner.
We also express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding effect, or enforceability of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, or the availability or enforceability of any remedies made applicable to the Borrower in respect of any such provision, (i) providing for rights of indemnity and/or contribution, (ii) relating to choice of law, (iii) purporting to waive (or having the effect of waiving) any rights under the Constitution or laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, or purporting to waive any rights in connection with bankruptcy or insolvency or which is otherwise contrary to public policy, (iv) providing that any jurisdiction is the exclusive forum for any dispute, or waiving any party’s rights to object to jurisdiction or venue, or consenting to jurisdiction or venue, or waiving any party’s rights to (or methods of) service of process, or other rights or benefits bestowed by operation of law, (v) consenting to receivership or similar proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, (vi) providing that the failure to exercise any right, remedy or option under any Loan Document shall not operate as a waiver thereof, or providing that amendments, waivers or modifications to any Loan Document must be in writing, (vii) providing for the release of, or having the effect of releasing, any person prospectively from any liability from its own wrongful or negligent acts or for breach of any agreement, (viii) waiving any applicable defenses, offsets, recoupments or counterclaims, (ix)
containing any broadly worded waivers, (x) purporting to grant the right of setoff to a purchaser of a participation in the loans outstanding thereunder or providing for interest on interest, automatic compounding of interest, a penalty or default rate of interest or late charges on overdue or defaulted obligations, the payment of any premium, liquidated damages, financing or non-compliance fee or the payment of any other amount which may be held by any court to be a “penalty” or a “forfeiture” or (xi) providing for conclusive presumptions or determinations. We express no opinion as to the applicability of or compliance with any usury law or regulation or any similar law or regulation with respect to the maximum rate of interest which may be imposed. We also point out that certain portions of the Loan Documents may be unenforceable in whole or in part, although the inclusion of such provisions therein does not render the Loan Documents invalid or interfere with the realization of the principal benefits and security intended to be provided thereby (subject to the other qualifications contained in this opinion letter and further subject to the economic consequences of any delay).
We express no opinion as to the effect of suretyship defenses or defenses in the nature thereof, with respect to the obligations of any applicable guarantor, joint obligor, surety, accommodation party, or other secondary obligor. We express no opinion as to the nature or extent of any party’s right, title or interest in and to any asset and we express no opinion as to any powers of attorney purported to be granted in any of the Loan Documents.
In rendering this opinion letter, we have assumed that no party will exercise any right or remedy except in an equitable and commercially reasonable manner and in good faith, and that each party to any of the Loan Documents has received the agreed upon consideration, and if a Loan Document does not recite that it is executed as an instrument under seal, that such consideration is legally sufficient.
The opinions expressed herein do not purport to cover, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability of Section 548 of the federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. In addition, we express no opinion (x) as to whether a subsidiary of a parent or any other affiliate of an entity may guarantee or otherwise become liable for, or pledge its assets to secure, indebtedness incurred by its parent or such entity except to the extent such subsidiary or other affiliate may be determined to have benefited from the incurrence of such indebtedness, or (y) as to whether such benefit may be measured other than by the extent to which the proceeds of such indebtedness are directly or indirectly made available to such subsidiary or other entity for its corporate or other purpose.
We express no opinion as to any of the agreements, documents or instruments referred to herein other than the Loan Documents. We also express no opinion as to any matters that would be excluded by Section 19 of the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA Section of Business Law were it to govern this letter unless such matter is expressly contained in the numbered opinions in this opinion letter.
We have assumed that each consent, waiver or agreement obtained from any of the parties or any of their respective equity holders, either in their capacity as parties to various agreements or as equity holders, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents was not obtained under duress, with undue influence or fraudulently.
We express no opinion as to the existence of, or as to the title of the Borrower in or to, any item of Collateral or property or as to the attachment, priority or the perfection of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents. We have made no examination of, and express no opinion herein as to (i) the existence of any liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances on the Collateral; (ii) the value of any security granted by the Borrower to Lender; (iii) the creation or enforceability of any security interest; (iv) the ranking or priority of any liens or security interests; (v) the perfection of any security interest; or (vi) matters regarding the classification of property as real or personal property.
Our opinions herein are limited to the effect on the subject transactions of the internal laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without giving effect to choice of laws principles), the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and the federal laws of the United States of America, in each case, in our experience, to the extent normally applicable to credit transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents, provided that we express no opinion as to any laws, rules or regulations relating to EX-IM or any policies or requirements of EX-IM. With respect to our opinions based on the laws of the State of Delaware, we advise you that we do not practice law of such state, and, with your permission, we have rendered such opinions based exclusively on our review of the statutory provisions of the DGCL as published by Corporation Service Company in its Fall 2009 printed edition of the Delaware Corporation Laws Annotated without regard to any regulation promulgated thereunder or any judicial or administrative interpretative interpretations thereof. We express no opinion as to the applicability or effect of any other laws, including, without limitation, the internal laws of the State of California. We note that the Loan Documents provide that they shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and that we are not rendering any opinion herein with respect to California law. With your permission, therefore, we are rendering our opinion in paragraph 1 below as to the enforceability of the Loan Documents as if the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts as interpreted and applied by the courts of Massachusetts (without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles). We have not examined the laws of California to determine whether such laws are the same as those in effect in Massachusetts. We render no opinion on matters except as specifically set forth herein.
We advise you that we have no been engaged by the Borrower to represent the Borrower in connection with any pending litigation.
Based on the foregoing and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1.
|
The Borrower (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and (b) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry out its business as, to our knowledge, now owned and conducted and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations set forth in each Loan Document. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Borrower. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, and constitutes a valid and binding obligation, of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower by Lender in accordance with their
|
|
respective terms.
|
2.
|
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Borrower will not constitute (i) a breach of the Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) a violation by the Borrower of the DGCL or any statute, rule, regulation or law of the United States of America or Massachusetts law known to us to be applicable to the Borrower, or (iii) a default under any material contract listed on Exhibit B hereto.
|
3.
|
To our knowledge, the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Borrower does not require the Borrower to give any notice to, to obtain any exemption by, to make any registration, declaration or filing (other than filing the Financing Statements and continuation statements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office) with or to take any other actions in respect of, any government or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Borrower, except for such consents, notices, exemptions, registrations, declarations and filings as have been given or made and except for such consents, notices, exemptions, registrations, declarations and filings as may be required by EX-IM.
|
The opinions contained herein are given as of the date hereof, and we shall have no obligations or undertaking to amend, modify or amplify such opinions hereafter or to advise you of any change that may hereafter be brought to our attention, even if such change would affect our opinions. This opinion letter is being furnished to you for your use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and, except as may be required by applicable law, may not be relied upon by any person other than you and your permitted assigns under the Credit Agreement.
Yours truly,
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP

FORM OF SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
This Subordination Agreement is made as of ________, 20__ by and between the undersigned (“Creditor”), and Comerica Bank (“Bank”).
Recitals
A. Nexx Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), has requested and/or obtained certain loans or other credit accommodations from Bank which are or may be from time to time secured by assets and property of Borrower.
B. Creditor has extended loans or other credit accommodations to Borrower, and/or may extend loans or other credit accommodations to Borrower from time to time.
C. In order to induce Bank to extend credit to Borrower and, at any time or from time to time, at Bank’s option, to make such further loans, extensions of credit, or other accommodations to or for the account of Borrower, or to purchase or extend credit upon any instrument or writing in respect of which Borrower may be liable in any capacity, or to grant such renewals or extension of any such loan, extension of credit, purchase, or other accommodation as Bank may deem advisable, Creditor is willing to subordinate: (i) all of Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Creditor, whether presently existing or arising in the future (the “Subordinated Debt”) to all of Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Bank; and (ii) all of Creditor’s security interests, if any, to all of Bank’s security interests in the Borrower’s property.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1.
|
Creditor subordinates to Bank any security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of Borrower. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of Creditor and the security interest of Bank, the security interest of Bank in the Collateral, as defined in the Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank, dated June ____, 2010, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”), shall at all times be prior to the security interest of Creditor.
|
2.
|
All Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of Borrower to Bank now existing or hereafter arising, together with all costs of collecting such obligations (including attorneys’ fees), including, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement by or against Borrower of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and all obligations under the Credit Agreement (the “Senior Debt”).
|
3.
|
Creditor will not demand or receive from Borrower (and Borrower will not pay to Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral, nor will Creditor commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against Borrower, for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains outstanding. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Creditor from converting all or any part of the Subordinated Debt into equity securities of Borrower.
|
4.
|
Creditor shall promptly deliver to Bank in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by Creditor where required by Bank) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement.
|
5.
|
In the event of Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Bank’s claims against Borrower and the estate of Borrower shall be paid in full before any payment is made to Creditor.
|
6.
|
For so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, Creditor irrevocably appoints Bank as Creditor’s attorney-in-fact, and grants to Bank a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of Creditor or in the name of Bank, for the use and benefit of Bank, without notice to Creditor, to perform at Bank’s option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving Borrower:
|
|
(i)
|
To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of Creditor if Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if Bank elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims; and
|
|
(ii)
|
To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of Creditor and to otherwise vote Creditor’s claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Bank deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder.
|
7.
|
For so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, Creditor agrees that it will not object to or oppose (i) the sale of the Borrower, or (ii) the sale or other disposition of any property of the Borrower, if Bank has consented to such sale of the Borrower or sale or disposition of any property of the Borrower. If requested by Bank, Creditor shall affirmatively consent to such sale or disposition and shall take all necessary actions and execute such documents and instruments as Bank may reasonably request in connection with and to facilitate such sale or disposition.
|
8.
|
Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of Borrower. By way of example, such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt.
|
9.
|
This Agreement shall remain effective for so long as Borrower owes any amounts to Bank under the Credit Agreement or otherwise. If, at any time after payment in full of the Senior Debt any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Bank for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of Borrower), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and Creditor shall immediately pay over to Bank all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to Creditor, Bank may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as Bank, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to Borrower, increasing the principal amount, extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against Borrower or any other person. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Bank’s rights hereunder. Creditor waives the benefits, if any, of Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.
|
10.
|
This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of Bank. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Creditor and Bank and not for the benefit of Borrower or any other party. Creditor further agrees that if Borrower is in the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and if Bank makes a request of Creditor, Creditor shall agree to enter into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
|
11.
|
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
|
12.
|
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles. Jurisdiction shall lie in the State of California. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES.

|
JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION.
|
|
(a)
|
In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.
|
|
(b)
|
With the exception of the items specified in clause (c), below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), 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 the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court in the County where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).
|
|
(c)
|
The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of selfhelp remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This Agreement does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this Agreement.
|
|
(d)
|
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.
|
|
(e)
|
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 (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.
|
|
(f)
|
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.
|
|
(g)
|
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, 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.

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.

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.
