The calculations below involve certain key assumptions about this Loan, including that the Loan is paid off in its entirety according to the agreed payment schedule and that no repayments are missed.
Loan Amount $105,000.00	Disbursement Amount (minus fees withheld)1 $99,265.00	Repayment Amount $136,500.00	Term (repaid Weekly) 2 Months (rapid Weekly)

METRIC	METRIC CALCULATION	METRIC EXPLANATION
Total Cost of Capital $37,200.00	Interest Expense: $ Loan Fee: $ Origination Fee: $5,250.00 Other Fees: $450.00 Total Cost of Capital: $ 37,200.00	This is the total amount that you will pay in interest or Loan Fees and other fees for the Loan. The amount does not include fees and other charges you can avoid, such as late payment fees and returned payment fees.2
Annual Percentage Rate (APR)3	Your Loan will have $ Weekly payments of: $17,062.50 APR: 273.75%	This is the cost of the Loan – including total interest or Loan Fees and other fees – expressed as a yearly rate. APR takes into account the amount and timing of capital you receive, fees you pay, and the periodic payments you make.
273.75%
		While APR can be used for comparison purposes, it is not an interest rate and is not used to calculate your interest expense or Loan Fee.
Average Monthly Payment $73,880.63	Repayment Amount: $ Term (in months): ÷ Monthly Average Monthly $ 136,500 ÷ 2	This is the average monthly repayment amount of the Loan, which does not include fees and other charges you can avoid, such as late payment fees and returned payment fees.2
	Payment: $. 68,250
		The actual repayment frequency for the Loan will be Weekly. This is an estimate for comparison purposes only.
Cents on the Dollar (excluding fees) ¢ 0.30	Interest Expense or $31,500 Loan Fee: Loan Amount: ÷ $31,500.00 Cents on the Dollar ¢ .030 (excluding fees):	This is the total amount of interest or Loan Fee paid per dollar borrowed. This amount is exclusive of fees.
Prepayment	Does prepayment of this Loan result in any new fees or charges?	No (see "Prepayment" above)
	Does prepayment of this Loan decrease the total interest or Loan Fees owed?	Yes (see Early Discount Addendum for the interest or fee reduction amount)
1The Disbursement Amount is the amount of capital that a business receives and may be different from the Loan Amount. The Disbursement Amount is net of fees withheld from the Loan Amount. A portion of the Disbursement Amount may be used to pay off any amounts owed from a prior loan or an amount owed to a third party.  2Your business may incur other fees that are not a condition of borrowing, such as late payment fees, returned payment fees, or monthly maintenance fees. Those fees are not reflected here. See the agreement for details on these fees (see "Other Fees" above).  3APR should be considered in conjunction with the Total Cost of Capital. APR may be most useful when comparing financing solutions of similar expected duration. APR is calculated here according to the principles of 12 C.F.R. § 1026 (Regulation Z), using 52 payment periods of equal length and 52 payment dates per year for weekly pay products, and 252 payment dates per year for daily pay products.

1. INTRODUCTION. This Business Loan and Security Agreement (together with the accompanying Business Loan and Security Agreement Supplement and the accompanying Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits), this "Agreement") governs your business loan ("Loan") made by Clearview Funding Group, LLC. Please read it and keep it for your reference. In this Agreement, the words "you", "your" and "Borrower" mean the Borrower identified on the signature page of this Business Loan and Security Agreement. Each Guarantor identified on the signature page of this Business Loan and Security Agreement shall be referred to individually as "Guarantor" and collectively as "Guarantors" in this Agreement. The words "Lender", "we", "us", and "our" mean Clearview Funding Group, LLC or its successor(s) and assign(s).

2. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Agreement begins on the date we accept this Agreement in New York. Xxxxxxxx understands and agrees that Xxxxxx may postpone, without penalty, the disbursement of amounts to Borrower until all required security interests have been perfected and Lender has received all required personal guarantees or other documentation.

3. AUTHORIZATION. Xxxxxxxx agrees that the Loan made by Xxxxxx to Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have been authorized by Borrower and to have been made pursuant to a duly authorized request on its behalf.

4. LOAN FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES ONLY. The proceeds of the requested Loan may solely be used for the specific purposes as set forth in the Use of Proceeds Certification contained in Section 50 below, and not for any other purposes. In addition, the Loan will not be used for personal, family or household purposes, and Xxxxxxxx and Guarantors are forever estopped from taking the position that such Loan (including Advances) are or were used for such personal, family or household purposes. Borrower understands that Borrower's agreement not to use the Loan proceeds for personal, family or household purposes means that certain important duties imposed upon entities making loans for personal, family or household purposes, and certain important rights conferred upon such persons, pursuant to federal or state law will not apply to the Loan or the Agreement. Xxxxxxxx also understands that Xxxxxx will be unable to confirm whether the use of the Loan conforms to this section. Xxxxxxxx agrees that a breach by Xxxxxxxx of the provisions of this section will not affect Xxxxxx's right to (i) enforce Xxxxxxxx's promise to pay for all amounts owed under this Agreement, regardless of the purpose for which the Loan is in fact obtained or (ii) use any remedy legally available to Lender, even if that remedy would not have been available had the Loan been made for personal, family or household purposes.

5. DISBURSEMENT OF LOAN PROCEEDS AND MAINTENANCE OF BORROWER'S BANK ACCOUNT. If Xxxxxxxx applied and was approved for a Loan, Xxxxxxxx's Loan will be disbursed upon approval as provided in the accompanying Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits). Borrower agrees to maintain Direct Payments (ACH Debits) in its operating account which is the account that was reviewed in conjunction with underwriting and approval of this Loan (including keeping such account open until the Total Repayment Amount had been completely repaid). Xxxxxxxx agrees that the Loan made by Xxxxxx to Borrower may not be returned except at Xxxxxx's sole discretion.

Page 6

6. PROMISE TO PAY. Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay Lender the Total Repayment Amount shown in the accompanying Business Loan and Security Agreement Supplement in accordance with the Payment Schedule shown in the accompanying Business Loan and Security Agreement Supplement. Xxxxxxxx agrees to enroll in Xxxxxx's Automatic Payment Plan and authorizes Lender to collect required payments as provided in the accompanying Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits). If required by Lender, Xxxxxxxx further agrees and authorizes Lender or its servicer to collect required payments from a transfer account established pursuant to certain Transfer Account Loan Documentation that will be provided by Lender in connection with this Business Loan and Security Agreement if applicable.

7. ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT METHODS. If Borrower knows that for any reason Lender will be unable to process a payment under Xxxxxx's Automatic Payment Plan, then Borrower must either restore sufficient funds such that the missed payment can be collected as provided in the accompanying Authorization Agreement for Direct Deposit (ACH Credit) and Direct Payments (ACH Debits), or promptly mail or deliver a check to Lender in the amount of the missed payment or, if offered, make the missed payment by any pay- by-phone or on-line service that Lender may make available from time to time. If Borrower elects to send payments on Xxxxxxxx's Account by postal mail, then Borrower agrees to send such payments to Clearview Funding Group, LLC to 000 XXXXXX XXXXX, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Customer Service. All alternative payments must be made in good funds by check, money order, wire transfer, automatic transfer from an account at an institution offering such service, or other instrument in U.S. Dollars. Xxxxxxxx understands and agrees that payments made at any other address than as specified by Lender may result in a delay in processing and/or crediting. If Borrower makes an alternative payment on Borrower's Loan by mail or by any pay-by-phone or on-line service that Lender makes available while Borrower is enrolled in the Automatic Payment Plan, Lender may treat such payment as an additional payment and continue to process Borrower's scheduled Automatic Payment Plan payments or may reduce any scheduled Automatic Payment Plan payment by the amount of any such additional payment received.

8. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Subject to applicable law, Lender reserves the right to allocate and apply payments received on Borrower's Loan between principal, interest and fees in any manner Lender chooses in Xxxxxx's sole discretion it being understood and agreed that any fees and interest will generally be paid during the earlier portion of the term.

9. POSTDATED CHECKS, RESTRICTED ENDORSEMENT CHECKS AND OTHER DISPUTED OR QUALIFIED PAYMENTS. Lender can accept late, postdated or partial payments without losing any of Lender's rights under this Agreement (a postdated check is a check dated later than the day it was actually presented for payment). Lender is under no obligation to hold a postdated check and Lender reserves the right to process every item presented as if dated the same date received by Lender or Lender's check processor unless Borrower gives Lender adequate notice and a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Except where such notice and opportunity is given, Borrower may not hold Lender liable for depositing any postdated check. Xxxxxxxx agrees not to send Lender partial payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Xxxxxx may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Agreement. All notices and written communications concerning postdated checks, restricted endorsement checks (including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount) or any other disputed, nonconforming or qualified payments, must be mailed or delivered to Clearview Funding Group, LLC, 000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Customer Service.

10. PREPAYMENT.

Borrower and Guarantor each agree that, if any Guarantor is a corporate entity, then Lender or Lender's Representative may file any financing statement, lien entry form or other document against such Guarantor or its property that Lender and/or Xxxxxx's Representative requires in order to perfect, amend or continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral.

Xxxxxxxx shall defend Xxxxxx's rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons. All proceeds from any unauthorized disposition of the Collateral shall be held in trust for Lender, shall not be co- mingled with any other funds and shall immediately be delivered to Lender. This requirement, however, does not constitute consent by Lender to any such disposition.

17. INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL AND PLACE OF BUSINESS; USE OF PHOTOGRAPHS AND TESTIMONIALS. Lender and Lender's designated representatives and agents shall have the right during Borrower's normal business hours and at any other reasonable time to examine the Collateral wherever located and the interior and exterior of any Borrower place of business.

30. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Subject to applicable law, if an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

A. Refrain from Disbursing Loan Proceeds: Xxxxxx may refrain from disbursing Borrower's Loan proceeds to Xxxxxxxx's Designated Checking Account.

B. Debit Amounts Due From Borrower's Accounts: Lender may debit from Borrower's Designated Checking Account all Automatic Payment Plan payments that Lender was unable to collect and/or the amount of any other Obligations that Borrower failed to pay. This provision and remedy may be specifically enforced or secured by other equitable relief as acknowledged in section K and be available to Lender should an Event of Default occur.

C. Accelerate Indebtedness: Xxxxxx may declare the entire Obligations immediately due and payable, without notice to Borrower, as set forth in Section 40 and 50.

(For Texas Borrowers): If you are in default, Lender will require Borrower to repay the entire Obligation, including both unpaid principal balance and any accrued interest, at once. Lender will not be required to give Borrower notice that Lender is demanding or intends to demand immediate payment of all that Borrower owes

D. Assemble Collateral: Lender may require Borrower and/or Guarantor to deliver to Lender all or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Borrower and/or Guarantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender. Xxxxxx also shall have full power to enter, provided Xxxxxx does so without a breach of the peace or a trespass, upon the property of Borrower and/or Guarantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time of repossession, Borrower and/or Guarantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Borrower and/or Guarantor after repossession. This provision and remedy may be specifically enforced or secured by other equitable relief as acknowledged in section K and be available to Lender should an Event of Default occur.

E. Sell the Collateral: Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in Lender's own name or that of Borrower and/or Guarantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Borrower, Guarantor and other persons as required by law, reasonable notice of the

Page 13

time and place of any public sale, or the time after which any private sale or any other disposition of the Collateral is to be made. However, no notice need be provided to any person who, after an Event of Default occurs, enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification of sale. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at least 10 days before the time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of the Obligations secured by this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all such expenses will become a part of the Obligations and, at Xxxxxx's option, will: (i) be payable on demand; (ii) be added to the balance of the Loan and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during the remaining term of the Loan; or (iii) be treated as a balloon payment that will be due and payable at the Loan's maturity. At Lender’s election, in addition to all other rights and remedies and rights available to it under the law, Lender may seek a judicial foreclosure of any or all Collateral in the and seek an accounting of all Collateral Third. The parties acknowledge that, upon Xxxxxx’s election, such equitable relief is necessary in the case of an Event of Default.

A.F. Appoint Receiver: Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Collateral preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the rents from the Collateral and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Obligations. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Xxxxxx's right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the Obligations by a substantial amount. Employment by Xxxxxx shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver. This provision and remedy may be specifically enforced or secured by other equitable relief as acknowledged in section K and be available to Lender should an Event of Default occur. 

G. Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts: Lender, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the Collateral. Lender may at any time in Xxxxxx's discretion transfer any Collateral into Xxxxxx's own name or that of Xxxxxx's nominee and receive the payments, rents, income and revenues therefrom and hold the same as security for the Obligations or apply it to payment of the Obligations in such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not any amount included within the Obligations is then due. For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Borrower and/or Guarantor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Borrower; change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment or storage of any Collateral. To facilitate collections, Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender. This provision may be enforced and secured through any equitable remedies set forth in paragraph K.

H. Obtain Deficiency: If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Borrower and/or Guarantor for any deficiency remaining on the Obligations due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Borrower and/or Guarantor shall be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.

I. Other Rights and Remedies: Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law, in equity or otherwise.

J. Election of Remedies: Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, any related documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Xxxxxx to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower under the Agreement, after Xxxxxxxx's failure to perform, shall not affect Xxxxxx's right to declare a default and exercise its remedies. This provision and remedy may be specifically enforced or secured by other equitable relief as acknowledged in section K and be available to Lender should an Event of Default occur.

The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's or entity's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. This arbitration section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.

33. NO WAIVER BY XXXXXX. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any rights under this Agreement, any related guaranty or applicable law shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.

Upon the occurrence of a Personal Guaranty Trigger Event, each Guarantor further agrees to repay the Obligations on demand, without requiring Lender first to enforce payment against Borrower.

Each Guarantor waives all notices to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled by law, and also waives all defenses, legal or equitable, otherwise available to the Guarantor. This Personal Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of New York, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each of the undersigned Guarantors waives its right to a trial by jury of any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or

50. GUARANTOR WAIVERS. The following waivers apply to any corporate co-debtor, which shall guaranty the debt of each other co-debtor: (a) Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because the Borrower's debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower; (ii) If Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower:

(A) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.

(B) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because the Borrower's debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

(b) Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Xxxxxx, even though that election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby expressly: (i) waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution and any other rights and or defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code; (ii) waives any rights or defenses Guarantor may have in respect of its obligations as a guarantor by reason of any election of remedies by Xxxxxx; (iii) waives any rights or defenses Guarantor may have in because the Borrower's note or other obligation is secured by real property or an estate for years, including, but limited to, any rights or defenses based upon, directly or indirectly, the application of Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure to the Borrower's note or other obligation; (iv) waives any and all, rights, defenses and/or benefits which might otherwise be available to it under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845 and 3433; and (v) California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, or any similar statutes of other states.

(d) Guarantor agrees that Lender may do any of the following without affecting the enforceability of the guaranty given by Guarantor or the other loan documents: (i) take or release additional security for any obligation in connection with the loan documents; (ii) discharge or release (by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure, acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) any person or persons liable under the loan documents; (iii) accept or make compositions or other arrangements or file or refrain from filing a claim in any bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower, any guarantor of Borrower's obligations under the loan documents or any pledgor of collateral for any person's obligations to Lender; and (iv) credit payments in such other pledgor of collateral for any person's obligations to Lender or any other person in connection with the Loan.

(e) Guarantor acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review the loan documents. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to keep itself informed of all material aspects of the financial condition of Xxxxxxxx and of the performance of Xxxxxxxx to Xxxxxx and agrees that Xxxxxx has no duty to disclose to Guarantor any information pertaining to Borrower or any security for the obligations of the Borrower under the loan documents.

(f) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may elect to foreclose nonjudicially the lien of the deed of trust and, if such right has arisen, to also exercise its rights under this Guaranty. Guarantor acknowledges that its right to seek reimbursement from Borrower for any amounts paid by it to Lender under this Guaranty will be eliminated if Lender elects to so foreclose the lien of the deed of trust in accordance with such Deed of Trust. Nevertheless, Guarantor waives any such right to reimbursement and agrees that a nonjudicial foreclosure by Xxxxxx of the deed of trust will not affect the enforceability of the loan documents on Guarantor. In order to further effectuate such waiver, Guarantor hereby agrees that it waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Xxxxxx, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure of the lien of the deed of trust, has destroyed its rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(g) Xxxxxxxxx agrees that Xxxxxx's right to enforce this Guaranty is absolute and is not contingent upon the validity or enforceability of any of the loan documents against Borrower or any other person. Guarantor waives all benefits and defenses it may have under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that Xxxxxx's rights under this Guaranty shall be enforceable even if Borrower or had no liability at the time of execution of the loan documents or later ceases to be liable.

(h) Guarantor waives all benefits and defenses it may have under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that Xxxxxx's rights under the loan documents will remain enforceable even if the amount secured by the loan documents is larger in amount and more burdensome than that for which Borrower is responsible. The enforceability of the Guaranty against Guarantor shall continue until all sums due under the loan documents have been paid in full and shall not be limited or affected in any way by any impairment or any diminution or loss of value of any security or collateral for Borrower's obligations under the loan documents, from whatever cause, the failure of any security interest in any such security or collateral or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any guarantor of Borrower's obligations under the loan documents, any Guarantor are not due and owing or have been paid in full or (y) all sums payable under the loan documents have been indefeasibly paid in full;

(i) Guarantor waives all benefits and defenses it may have under California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849 and 2850, including, without limitation, the right to require Lender to (i) proceed against Borrower, any guarantor of Borrower's obligations under the loan documents, any other pledgor of collateral for any person's obligations to Lender or any other person in connection with the Loan, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any other security or collateral that Lender may hold, or (iii) pursue any other right or remedy for Borrower's benefit, and agree that Lender may exercise its rights under this Guaranty or may foreclose against any real property securing the Loan without taking any action against Borrower, any guarantor of Borrower's obligations under the loan documents, any pledgor of collateral for any person's obligations to Lender or any other person in connection with the Loan, and without proceeding against or exhausting any security or collateral Lender holds.

(j) Guarantor waives any rights or benefits it may have by reason of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, or other applicable law, which could limit the amount which Lender could recover in a foreclosure of any collateral securing the Loan to the difference between the amount owing under the loan documents and the fair value of such collateral or interests sold at a nonjudicial foreclosure sale or sales of any other real property held by Lender as security for the obligations of Borrower under the loan documents.

(ii)any rights of sovereign immunity and any other similar and/or related rights; 

(iii)any defenses generally available to guarantors under the laws of the State of California or otherwise; 

(iv)any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of Borrower or any guarantor of Borrower's obligations or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of Borrower from any cause other than that (x) the obligations guaranteed by 

(v)any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of Borrower or any principal of Borrower or any defect in the formation of Borrower or any principal of Borrower; 

(vi)any defense based upon the application by Xxxxxxxx of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrower to Lender or intended or understood by Xxxxxx or Guarantor; 

(vii)any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; 

(viii)any defense based upon Xxxxxx's election, in any proceeding instituted under the United States Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; 

(ix)any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; 

(x)the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder or the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any rights arising under Section 359.5 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Guarantor agrees that the payment of all sums payable under the loan documents or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the loan documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor's liability hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, Guarantor expressly waives for the benefit of Lender to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2899 and 3433 or any similar law of California or of any other state or of the United States. 

(m) Guarantor hereby also waives (i) any defense based upon Xxxxxx's failure to disclose to Guarantor any information concerning Borrower's financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on Xxxxxxxx's ability to pay all sums payable under the loan documents; (ii) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security for the loan documents now or hereafter held by Xxxxxx; and (iii) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. Guarantor agrees that the payment of all sums payable under the loan documents or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the loan documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor's liability hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, Guarantor expressly waives to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive (subject to Section 1.9 of this Guaranty) and Chapter 2 of Title 14, 2899 and 3433 and under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, or any of such sections.
