(b) Interest Rate. Subject to subsections 3(d), 3(e), and 3(f), the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Spread.
9
(c) Computation of Interest. All computations of interest shall be made by Lender on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error or bad faith.
(d) Default Rate. Any overdue principal or interest with respect to any portion of the Loan, and the amount of any fees, costs, or expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay to Lender under this Agreement not paid when due, shall immediately and automatically bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. In addition, upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and continuing until such Event of Default has been cured or waived in writing by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, interest shall accrue on all obligations owed by Borrower hereunder at the Default Rate. The interest rate increase to the Default Rate shall take effect immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, without prior notice to Borrower.
(e) Interest Not to Exceed Maximum Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if at any time until payment in full of all of obligations under this Agreement, the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto (the "Maximum Lawful Rate"), then in such event and so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Lender is equal to the total interest which Lender would have received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this Section 3(e) the interest rate payable since the date of this Agreement. Thereafter, the interest rate payable hereunder shall be the rate of interest set forth herein, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount which Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. In the event the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this Section 3(e), such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3(e), shall make a final determination that Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess first to any interest due and not yet paid, then to the outstanding principal of the Loan (without premium or penalty), and then to any other unpaid obligations owed by Borrower under this Agreement and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.
10
(f) Additional LIBOR Rate Provisions.

In the event that any law, treaty, rule, regulation, or determination of a court or governmental authority or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or governmental authority:

(3) shall impose on Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing, or maintaining any portion of the Loan with interest rates tied to the LIBOR Rate and/or to reduce any amount receivable by Lender in connection therewith;
then in any such case, Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately upon demand, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lender for any additional costs incurred by Lender and/or reductions in amounts received by Lender which are attributable to LIBOR Rates made available to Borrower hereunder. In determining which costs incurred by Lender or reductions in amounts received by Lender are attributable to such LIBOR Rates, any reasonable allocation made by Lender among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower; provided, that Lender's determination under this Section 3(f) as to Borrower is in accordance with its treatment of other borrowers under commercial loans generally.

Such late charge shall be paid in any event not later than the due date of the next subsequent installment of interest. In the event the maturity of the Obligations hereunder occurs or is accelerated, this Section shall apply only to payments overdue prior to the time of such acceleration.

Upon such a declaration, the unpaid principal balance under this Agreement and all such other amounts shall become immediately due and payable, without protest, presentment, demand, or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
(b) Enforcement. Lender may proceed to protect, exercise, and enforce such rights and remedies against Borrower and against the Collateral as may be provided by this Agreement, by any Guaranty Agreement, by any Loan Document, or under law, each and every one of such rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time, and no failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, or the exercise of any other right. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may, as provided in the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended, retire and cancel all or any portion of Borrower's stock or other equities in Lender and apply the proceeds thereof against Borrower's indebtedness to Lender.

If, at the conclusion of any foreclosure or collection of any Collateral, the proceeds of such foreclosure or collection are insufficient to pay and discharge the Obligations in full, then Borrower shall remain liable for the full amount of the remaining Obligations, and Lender shall have all legal rights, remedies, and recourse against Borrower and any remaining Collateral for such remaining Obligations.
23
(c) Application of Funds. All amounts received by Lender shall be applied to amounts owing under this Agreement in such order and manner as Lender may in its sole discretion elect.
15. Indemnity.

16. Complete Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and all documents and instruments contemplated hereby are intended by the parties to be a complete and final expression of their agreement. No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision hereof or thereof, nor any consent to any departure of Borrower herefrom or therefrom, shall be effective unless approved by Lender and contained in a writing signed by or on behalf of Lender and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

18. Applicable Law. Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, this Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to choice of law doctrine.
19. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

If in the future Lender shall employ the services of legal counsel or any other professional or any third party in connection with (i) any request made by Borrower to Lender for a modification, amendment, waiver, or consent in connection with this Agreement, any Other Document, or any Guaranty Agreement, (ii) rendering advice or other services to Lender regarding Lender's rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document or any Guaranty Agreement, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or a request has been made by Borrower, (iii) representing the interests of Lender in any judicial or nonjudicial action, suit or proceeding instituted by Lender or any other Person connected with or related to or with reference to the Loan or to reclaim, seek relief from a judicial or statutory stay, sequester, protect, preserve or enforce Lender's interests, then in such event Borrower promises to pay reasonable attorney's fees and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or its attorney in connection with the above-mentioned events.

25
23. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns except that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may assign all or any portion of its obligations under this Agreement without prior notice to Borrower and such assignment shall relieve Lender of any future obligations hereunder. If Lender shall assign a portion of its obligations, Borrower shall enter into such amendments to the Loan Documents as Lenders shall request, such as providing new or replacement promissory notes and a revision to this Agreement to reflect and agent/lender structure. Lender may grant or sell participation interests in its interests under this Agreement without notice to Borrower.
24. Communications with Xxxxx Fargo Bank. Borrower authorizes Lender and Xxxxx Fargo Bank (or any successor agent or lender under the Xxxxx Fargo Credit Facility) to communicate with each other concerning Borrower's financial affairs and to disclose to the other party any information concerning Borrower and its Subsidiaries.
25. Continuing Validity of Existing Agreements. Except as expressly modified or superseded by this Agreement or a Loan Document entered into in connection with this Agreement, the terms of any Loan Document in effect under the Previous Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
26. Release. Borrower hereby releases, remises, acquits and forever discharges Lender and its employees, agents, representatives, consultants, attorneys, fiduciaries, officers, directors, partners, predecessors, successors and assigns, subsidiary corporations, parent corporations, and related corporate divisions (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from any and all actions and causes of action, judgments, executions, suits, debts, claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, damages and expenses of any and every character, known or unknown, direct and/or indirect, at law or in equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, for or because of any matter or things done, omitted or suffered to be done by any of the Released Parties prior to and including the date of delivery hereof, and in any way directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way connected to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (collectively, the "Released Matters"). Borrower acknowledges that the agreements in this Section are intended to be in full satisfaction of all or any alleged injuries or damages arising in connection with the Released Matters.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby waives the provisions of any statute that prevents a general release from extending to claims unknown by the releasing party, including Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.
