Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment.

(d)        Application of Payments.

If this Agreement is terminated or the Revolving Line is permanently reduced prior to twelve (12) months after the Closing Date following an Event of Default, whether after the acceleration of the Obligations after an Event of Default, or the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, or in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding (such that the fee shall be payable even if Bank provides financing in such Insolvency Proceeding with an amendment to this Agreement) or any plan of reorganization pursuant thereto or otherwise, in view of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of Bank's lost profits as a result thereof, Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon the effective date of such termination or reduction, a prepayment fee in the amount equal to 1.00% of the Revolving Line (as in effect immediately prior to such termination or permanent reduction).

2.4            Crediting Payments. So long as no Event of Default exists, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately apply any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment Bank may receive to conditionally reduce the Obligations, but such applications of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

2.6            Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 13.8, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement.

3.2          Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions. The obligation of Bank to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is further subject to the following conditions:

(a)            timely receipt by Bank of the Payment/Advance Form as provided in Section 2.1; and

The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2.

3.3          Conditions to Effectiveness of Amendments and Restatements. The effectiveness of this Agreement, and the amendments and restatements to the Original Loan Agreement contemplated hereby, is subject to the condition precedent that Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:

(b)            an officer’s certificate of each Parent Guarantor with respect to incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

(d)             payment of all Bank Expenses incurred through the Amendment Date;

(g)            such other documents or certificates, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.

4.1          Grant of Security Interest. Each Obligor grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all Obligations and to secure prompt performance by Obligors of each of their covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in later-acquired Collateral, to the extent such security interest may be perfected by the filing of financing statements under the Code and other perfection actions taken by Bank or Borrower pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are outstanding.

4.2          Perfection of Security Interest. Each Obligor authorizes Bank to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of such Obligor of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether such Obligor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Obligor, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be filed by Bank at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Each Obligor shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfection of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Each Obligor shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Bank chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Except with respect to personal property in transit in the ordinary course of business and movable items of personal property, where Collateral having a value in excess of $250,000 is in possession of a third party bailee, Obligors shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests for Bank to (i) obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Bank, and (ii) subject to Section 6.6, obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Each Obligor will not create any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Each Obligor from time to time may deposit with Bank specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; each Obligor authorizes Bank to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by any Obligor or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are outstanding.

4.3          Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Obligors’ usual business hours but no more than once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Obligors’ Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Obligors’ financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.

4.4          Pledge of Collateral. Each Obligor hereby pledges, collaterally assigns and grants to Bank a security interest in all the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. Subject to Section 6.14, on the Closing Date, the certificate or certificates for the Shares, if any, will be delivered to Bank, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by the applicable Obligor. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Obligors shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Bank may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Bank and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Bank or its transferee. Each Obligor will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Bank may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Obligor shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

4.5          Account Verification. Each Obligor shall permit Bank, in Bank’s name or in the name of a nominee of Bank, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any account or payment intangible, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise and, promptly upon the request of Bank, each Obligor shall send requests for verification of accounts and payment intangibles or send notices of assignment of accounts and payment intangibles to account debtors and other obligors.

5.1          Due Organization and Qualification. Borrower, each Parent Guarantor and each Subsidiary is an entity duly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2          Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Obligors’ powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Obligors’ Organization Documents, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which an Obligor is bound. No Obligor is in default under any agreement by which it is bound, except to the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3          Collateral. Each Obligor has rights in or the power to transfer the Collateral, and its title to the Collateral is free and clear of Liens, adverse claims, and restrictions on transfer or pledge except for Permitted Liens. Other than (i) movable items of personal property such as laptop computers, (ii) any Collateral in transit, and (iii) any Collateral having a book value in excess of $250,000, all Collateral is located solely in the Collateral States or such other locations as permitted by Section 7.10. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and merchantable quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made. Except as permitted by Section 6.6, none of the Collateral is maintained or invested with a Person other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates.

5.4         Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Obligor is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property Collateral owned by it, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Obligors to their customers in the ordinary course of business. To the best of Obligors’ knowledge, each of the Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made to Obligors in writing that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such invalidity, unenforceability, or claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5          Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the Schedule or as Borrower may have notified Bank pursuant to Section 7.2, no Obligor has done business within the last five years under any name other than that specified on the signature page hereof, and its exact legal name is as set forth on its respective signature page to this Agreement. The chief executive office of each Obligor is located in the Chief Executive Office State at the address indicated in Section 10 hereof or such other location as Borrower has notified Bank pursuant to Section 7.2.

5.6           Actions, Suits, Litigation, or Proceedings. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no actions, suits, litigation or proceedings, at law or in equity, pending by or against Borrower, Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary before any court, administrative agency, or arbitrator which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7          No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements related to Borrower and its Subsidiaries (and, as applicable on and after the Amendment Date, any Parent Guarantor) that are delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations for the period then ended. There has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements submitted to Bank.

5.8          Solvency, Payment of Debts. Each Obligor is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature; the fair saleable value of each Obligor’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; and no Obligor is left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.9         Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Borrower, each Parent Guarantor and each Subsidiary have met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from an Obligor’s failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in an Obligor incurring any liability that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Obligor is required to register as an “investment company” and is not “controlled” by any company required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. No Obligor is engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Each Obligor has complied in all material respects with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Each Obligor is in compliance with all environmental laws, regulations and ordinances except where the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Obligor has violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of Borrower, any Parent Guarantor nor any of their Subsidiaries is in violation in any material respect of any applicable requirement of law relating to terrorism or money laundering, including Executive Order No. 13224, effective September 24, 2001, The Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act (also known as the “Bank Secrecy Act,” 31 U.S.C. §§ 5311 5330), the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. §§1-44, as amended), the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107 56, signed into law October 26, 2001, the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 as amended and the Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) Act 2005. The information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects. Borrower, each Parent Guarantor and each Subsidiary have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be filed, and have paid, or have made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP or where the failure to file such returns or pay such taxes could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Obligor has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and no Obligor has withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of such Obligor, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

5.10       Subsidiaries. No Obligor owns any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments.

5.11       Government Consents. Borrower, each Parent Guarantor and each Subsidiary have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of each Obligor’s business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.12         Inbound Licenses. Except as disclosed on the Schedule or as notified to Bank pursuant to Section 6.9, no Obligor is a party to, nor is bound by, any inbound license that validly prohibits or otherwise restricts such Obligor from granting a security interest in such Obligor’s interest in such license other than (i) over-the- counter software that is commercially available to the public, (ii) license agreements entered into in the ordinary course of such Obligor’s business and noted on the Schedule or where notice is given in accordance with this Agreement, in each case, to the extent that any breach or termination thereof would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) customary non-assignment provisions to the extent that any such provisions are ineffective under the Code.

5.13        Shares. Each Obligor has full power and authority to create a first lien on the Shares and no disability or contractual obligation exists that would prohibit an Obligor from pledging the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. To Obligors’ knowledge, there are no subscriptions, warrants, rights of first refusal or other restrictions on transfer relative to, or options exercisable with respect to the Shares. The Shares have been and will be duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. To Obligors’ knowledge, the Shares are not the subject of any present or threatened suit, action, arbitration, administrative or other proceeding, and Obligors know of no reasonable grounds for the institution of any such proceedings.

5.14        Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by an Obligor in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank taken together with all such certificates and written statements furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or statements not misleading, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

5.15        Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

5.16        Purchase Agreement. Section 2.05 of the Purchase Agreement, a true and complete copy of which has been delivered to Bank, has not been amended or modified in any respect on or after the date such agreement was entered into by the parties thereto, other than as may have been consented to in writing by the Bank, in its sole discretion; provided that, in the event the Forever Oceans Interests have not been transferred out of Mully’s Max Mob LLC by December 31, 2021, the Permitted Holders shall have the right to grant up to a 60-day extension to the requirement that the Forever Oceans Interests be transferred out of Mully’s Max Mob LLC without the prior consent of the Bank, so long as Mully’s Max Mob LLC provides Bank with prior written notice of such extension.

Each Obligor covenants that, until payment in full of all outstanding Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), and for so long as Bank may have any commitment to make a Credit Extension hereunder, it shall do all of the following:

6.1          Good Standing and Government Compliance. Each Obligor shall maintain its and each of its material Subsidiaries’ organizational existence and good standing (i) in the case of each Obligor, in its Obligor State and (ii) in the case of any Subsidiary, in the state or other jurisdiction in which Subsidiary is incorporated or formed, and shall maintain qualification and good standing in each other jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and shall furnish to Bank the organizational identification number issued to each Obligor by the authorities of the jurisdiction in which such Obligor is organized, if applicable. Borrower and each Parent Guarantor shall meet, and shall cause each Subsidiary to meet, the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans of such Borrower, Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary subject to ERISA. Each Obligor shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, and maintain all material permits, licenses and approvals required thereunder where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower and Parent Guarantors shall comply, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to comply, with all statutes, laws, ordinances and government rules and regulations to which it is subject, and shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, in force all licenses, approvals and agreements, in each case, the loss of which or failure to comply with which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.2          Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates. Borrower shall deliver to Bank: (i) as soon as available, but in any event within 30 days after the end of each calendar month, a company prepared consolidated and consolidating balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows covering Borrower’s, Parent Guarantors’ and its Subsidiaries’ consolidated operations during such period, in a form reasonably acceptable to Bank and certified by a Responsible Officer; (ii) as soon as available, but in any event within 120 days after the end of Borrower’s fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements of Borrower, Parent Guarantors and their Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, together with an opinion which is (i) for Fiscal Year 2021 consistent with the opinion given in Borrower’s audited financial statements for its Fiscal Year 2020 and (ii) for Fiscal Year 2022 and thereafter, unqualified or otherwise consented to in writing by Bank on such financial statements of an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Bank; (iii) if applicable, copies of all statements, reports and notices sent or made available generally by an Obligor to its security holders or to any holders of Subordinated Debt in their capacity as such and all reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iv) promptly upon receipt of notice thereof, a report of any legal actions pending or threatened in writing against Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to result in damages or costs to Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary of $250,000 or more; (v) promptly upon receipt, each management letter delivered to an Obligor by such Obligor’s independent certified public accounting firm regarding such Obligor’s management control systems; (vi) as soon as available, but in any event within 60 days after each fiscal year end, Borrower’s financial and business projections and budget, by month, for such fiscal year, with evidence of approval thereof by Borrower’s board of directors (as amended or revised from time to time by the Borrower’s board of directors, the “Projections”); (vii) such budgets, sales projections, operating plans or other financial information generally prepared by Obligors in the ordinary course of business as Bank may reasonably request from time to time; and (viii) within 30 days after each fiscal year end, a report signed by Borrower, in form reasonably acceptable to Bank, listing any applications or registrations that an Obligor has made or filed in respect of any Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks and the status of any outstanding applications or registrations, as well as any material change in Obligors’ Intellectual Property Collateral, including but not limited to any subsequent ownership right of an Obligor in or to any Trademark, Patent or Copyright not specified in Exhibits A, B, and C of any Intellectual Property Security Agreement delivered to Bank by Borrower in connection with this Agreement.

(a)            Within 30 days after the last day of each month, Borrower shall deliver to Bank a Borrowing Base Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto.

(b)            Within 30 days after the last day of each month, Borrower shall deliver to Bank with the monthly financial statements a Compliance Certificate certified as of the last day of the applicable month and signed by a Responsible Officer.

(c)            Immediately upon becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of an Event of Default hereunder, a written statement of a Responsible Officer setting forth details of the Event of Default, and the action which Borrower has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(d)            Promptly upon, and within any event within five Business Days after, becoming aware of the termination or non-renewal of any Material Contract.

Borrower may deliver to Bank on an electronic basis any certificates, reports or information required pursuant to this Section 6.2, and Bank shall be entitled to rely on the information contained in the electronic files, provided that Bank in good faith believes that the files were delivered by a Responsible Officer. If Borrower delivers this information electronically, it shall also deliver to Bank by U.S. mail, reputable overnight courier service, hand delivery, facsimile or .pdf file within five (5) Business Days of submission of the unsigned electronic copy the certification of monthly financial statements, the intellectual property report, the Borrowing Base Certificate and the Compliance Certificate, each bearing the physical signature of the Responsible Officer.

6.3          Inventory; Returns. Each Obligor shall keep all Inventory in good and merchantable condition, free from all material defects except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made. Returns and allowances, if any, as between an Obligor and its account debtors shall be on the same basis and in accordance with the usual customary practices of such Obligor, as they exist on the Closing Date. Each Obligor shall promptly notify Bank of all returns and recoveries and of all disputes and claims that could reasonably be expected to result in damages or costs of more than $250,000.

6.4          Taxes. Borrower shall make, and ensure each Parent Guarantor and Subsidiary makes, due and timely payment or deposit of all material federal, state, and local taxes, assessments, or contributions required of it by law, including, but not limited to, those laws concerning income taxes, F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A. and state disability, and will execute and deliver to Bank, on demand, proof satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower, each Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary has made such payments or deposits and any appropriate certificates attesting to the payment or deposit thereof; provided that Borrower, any Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary need not make any payment if the amount or validity of such payment is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and is reserved against (to the extent required by GAAP) by Borrower, such Parent Guarantor or Subsidiary.

(a)             Obligors, at their expense, shall keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and all other hazards and risks, and in such amounts, as ordinarily insured against by other owners in similar businesses conducted in the locations where Obligors’ business is conducted on the date hereof. Each Obligor shall also maintain liability and other insurance in amounts and of a type that are customary to businesses similar to such Obligor’s. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that, as of the Amendment Date, that neither Parent Guarantor actively operates any business (other than the passive holding of Stocks and/or intangible assets) or owns any tangible assets, and, as such, neither Parent Guarantor maintains either property or liability insurance policies as of the Amendment Date.

(b)             All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies, and in such amounts as reasonably satisfactory to Bank. All policies of property insurance shall contain a lender’s loss payable endorsement, in a form satisfactory to Bank, showing Bank as an additional loss payee, and all liability insurance policies shall show Bank as an additional insured and specify that the insurer must give at least 20 days’ notice to Bank before canceling its policy for any reason other than non-payment of premium, for which 10 days’ notice shall be required. Upon Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank certified copies of the policies of insurance and evidence of all premium payments. All proceeds payable under any such policy shall, at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank to be applied on account of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Obligor shall have the option of applying proceeds with respect to any Collateral of any casualty policy of such Obligor in an amount up to $125,000 toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property, or the purchase of property that is otherwise useful to such Obligor’s business; provided that (i) any replacement property shall be of equal or like value as the replaced Collateral; (ii) any replaced or repaired property shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first in priority, perfected security interest; and (iii) such property shall be repaired or replaced within 90 days of the event giving rise to the casualty; and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds with respect to Collateral payable under such casualty policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.

6.6          Deposit Accounts. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit in a depositary account with Bank not less than $2 million in Cash. Within 45 days of the Closing Date, Borrower shall have established and shall maintain its primary operating, depository, and investment accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) with Bank. Within 45 days of the Amendment Date, Parent Guarantors shall have established and shall maintain their primary operating, depository, and investment accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) with Bank.

(a)           Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.6 (insolvency), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(g)            Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including an Obligor’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate.

Bank has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Bank’s rights against Obligors. Each Obligor waives any right it may have to require Bank to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations.

9.7            Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on an Obligor’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Each Obligor expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.

9.8            Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Obligor waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment and any other notices relating to the Obligations.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to an Obligor or to Bank, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth below:

The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to receive notices hereunder, by notice in writing in the foregoing manner given to the other.

11.1         Guaranty. Each Affiliate Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantees, as primary obligor and as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations (for each Affiliate Guarantor, subject to the proviso in this sentence, its “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, that, the liability of each Affiliate Guarantor individually with respect to this Guaranty shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations shall include any such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities, or portion thereof, which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or compromised or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any debtor under any Debtor Relief Laws. The Bank’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Affiliate Guarantor, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non- perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Affiliate Guarantors, or any of them, under this Guaranty, and each Affiliate Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

11.2          Rights of Lender. Each Affiliate Guarantor consents and agrees that the Bank may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Bank in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Affiliate Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Affiliate Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Affiliate Guarantor.

11.3          Certain Waivers. Each Affiliate Guarantor waives: (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Bank) of the liability of the Borrower or any other Obligor; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Affiliate Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower or any other Obligor; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any Affiliate Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against the Borrower or any other Obligor, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of the Bank whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Bank; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Affiliate Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.

11.4         Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Affiliate Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Affiliate Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

11.5         Subrogation. No Affiliate Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Bank’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated. If any amounts are paid to an Affiliate Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Bank and shall forthwith be paid to the Bank to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

11.6         Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Revolving Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Affiliate Guarantor is made, or the Bank exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Bank is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Affiliate Guarantor under this Section 11.6 shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

11.7          Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against an Affiliate Guarantor or the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Affiliate Guarantor, jointly and severally, immediately upon demand by the Bank.

11.8          Condition of Borrower. Each Affiliate Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other guarantor as such Affiliate Guarantor requires, and that Bank does not have any duty, and such Affiliate Guarantor is not relying on the Bank at any time, to disclose to it any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower or any other guarantor (each Affiliate Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Bank to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

11.9         Appointment of Borrower. Each of the Obligors hereby appoints the Borrower to act as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents and electronic platforms entered into in connection herewith and agrees that: (a) the Borrower may execute such documents and provide such authorizations on behalf of such Obligors as the Borrower deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Obligor shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document and/or authorization executed on its behalf; (b) any notice or communication delivered by the Bank to the Borrower shall be deemed delivered to each Obligor; and (c) the Bank may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any document, authorization, instrument or agreement executed by the Borrower on behalf of each of the Obligors.

11.10       Right of Contribution. The Affiliate Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Affiliate Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Affiliate Guarantors as permitted under applicable law.

11.11        Keepwell. Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guaranty or the grant of a Lien under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Obligor becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Article 11 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Obligor intends this Section 11.11 to constitute, and this Section 11.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

12.            CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE.

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

EACH OBLIGOR AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, who shall be a retired state or federal court judge, mutually selected by the parties or, if they cannot agree, then any party may seek to have a private judge appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 and 640 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts). The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the referenced proceedings. The parties shall promptly and diligently cooperate with one another and the referee, and shall perform such acts as may be necessary to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of the dispute or controversy in accordance with the terms hereof. The costs shall be borne equally by the parties.

13.1          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall bind all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement; provided that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by an Obligor without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank shall have the right without the consent of or notice to Obligors to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.

13.2          Indemnification. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank, its officers, employees and agents as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Bank and Obligors whether under this Agreement, or any other Loan Documents (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for losses caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13.3          Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

13.4         Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

13.5          Correction of Loan Documents. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

13.6         Amendments in Writing, Integration. All amendments to or terminations of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents must be in writing signed by the parties. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all agreements for Bank Products, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of the agreements for them, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such agreement.

13.7         Counterparts. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, with respect to any Loan Document, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing the applicable Loan Document (or on whose behalf such signature is executed), with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original hereof.

13.8          Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make any Credit Extension to Borrower. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 13.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Bank have run.

13.9         Confidentiality. 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 so long as such subsidiaries or Affiliates agree to be bound by confidentiality provisions equivalent to those provided herein, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans provided that such prospective transferee or purchaser has agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.9, (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, (v) to Bank’s accountants, auditors and regulators, and (vi) as Bank may 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 on a non-confidential basis 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.

WHEREAS, the Senior Lender agrees that the terms of this Subordination Agreement are reasonably acceptable to it;

WHEREAS, each Subordinated Lender executing a Joinder to this Agreement agrees that any Convertible Notes held by it shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and such Subordinated Lender agrees to be bound by the terms hereof;

All Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement without notice thereof being given to the Subordinated Lenders.

“Senior Loan Documents” means the Loan Agreement and any other agreements in effect from time to time, now or in the future, entered into in connection with the Senior Indebtedness.

“Subordinated Indebtedness” shall mean all existing and hereafter arising indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Borrower to any Subordinated Lender, whether direct or contingent, under any Convertible Note executed by Borrower, including all principal, interest, fees, expenses, indemnities and any and all sums owing in connection with the redemption or repurchase of any equity interests held by the Subordinated Lender in respect of Borrower, and all claims, rights, causes of action, judgment and decrees in respect of the foregoing.

2.             Covenant of Company. The Company covenants and agrees that it will not issue any Convertible Note to any person or entity unless and until the Holder thereof shall have executed and delivered a Joinder to this Agreement. The Company further covenants and agrees to provide the Senior Lender with a copy of each Joinder executed in connection with this Agreement substantially concurrent with the execution thereof, and in any event within one (1) business day of the execution thereof.

(a)      Subordinated Lender shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any of its Subordinated Indebtedness except with the prior written consent of Senior Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld) and except to a person who agrees in advance in writing, pursuant to a separately executed Joinder to this Agreement or other form acceptable to Senior Lender, to become a party hereto. Subordinated Lender shall give Senior Lender at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such proposed transfer stating the identity of the transferee and providing such other information as Senior Lender shall reasonably request.

(b)     Until the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness occurs, no Subordinated Lender shall, without the prior written consent of the Senior Lender, take any Subordinated Enforcement Action with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness, object to or interfere with any Senior Enforcement Action taken by the Senior Lender, object to any use of cash by the Senior Lender or the Obligors, or object to any failure of the Senior Lender to take any Senior Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any remedies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinated Lenders may file proofs of claim against any of the Obligors in any Insolvency Proceeding involving such Obligor. Any distributions or other proceeds of any Subordinated Enforcement Action obtained by a Subordinated Lender (other than Conversion Securities issued upon a Conversion and payments of Subordinated Indebtedness that are received and allowed to be retained by the applicable Subordinated Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) shall in any event be held in trust by it for the benefit of the Senior Lender and promptly be paid or delivered in the form received with any necessary endorsements to the Senior Lender for application (in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents) to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness then remaining unpaid until the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness has occurred.

(a)     Anything in the Convertible Notes or other instruments or agreements evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness (the “Subordinated Agreements”) to the contrary notwithstanding, the payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness is and shall be expressly subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies to the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent and in the manner provided herein, and the Subordinated Indebtedness is hereby subordinated as a claim against Borrower and any guarantor to the prior Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness or any of the assets of, or ownership interests in, Borrower or such guarantor, whether such claim be in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, or other than in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit (A) a conversion (a “Conversion”) of amounts owing with respect to any Convertible Note solely into any class or series of equity interests of the Company, as applicable (the “Conversion Securities”), (B) payments of cash not to exceed $1,000 in any 12 month period in lieu of fractional shares of stock or limited liability company units in connection with such a Conversion (a “Fractional Payment”) and (C) payments of interest in the form of payment in kind. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless Senior Lender consents in writing, Borrower will not make, and no Holder of Subordinated Indebtedness will demand, accept or receive, any payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest or principal) of Subordinated Indebtedness until the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness. In the event that all or any part of payment of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Senior Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise (whether by demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise), such rescinded or recovered payments shall constitute Senior Indebtedness for all purposes hereunder and the obligations of the Subordinated Lender hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be.

(b)     Until the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness, the Subordinated Lender shall not obtain any lien or security interest in any assets of Borrower securing any Subordinated Indebtedness. In the event any lien or security interest in favor of the Subordinated Lender may exist in breach of the foregoing sentence, all such liens and security interests shall be and hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the liens and security interests granted in favor of Senior Lender, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection of any such liens and security interests. In the event that Subordinated Lender obtains any such liens or security interests, the Subordinated Lender shall (or shall cause its agent to) promptly execute and deliver to Senior Lender such termination statements and releases as Senior Lender may request to effect the release of such liens or security interests in favor of the Subordinated Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Subordinated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Senior Lender its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the name of Subordinated Lender or otherwise, to execute, deliver and file any document or instrument which the Subordinated Lender may be required to deliver pursuant to this Section, or which is otherwise required to evidence the termination or release of any such liens or security interests in favor of the Subordinated Lender.

3.3          Distributions in Insolvency Proceeding. In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding relative to Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness or such party’s property, all of the Senior Indebtedness owed by Borrower shall first be Paid in Full before any payment on account of principal, premium or interest or otherwise is made upon or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and in any such proceedings any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness (other than Conversion Securities issued upon a Conversion) shall be paid or delivered directly to Senior Lender for application in payment of the Senior Indebtedness, unless and until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been Paid in Full. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any such Insolvency Proceeding, any payment or distribution of assets of Borrower or a guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Conversion Securities issued upon a Conversion) including but not limited to any Fractional Payment, shall be received by any Holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, such payment or distribution shall be immediately paid over to Senior Lender for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been Paid in Full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holder of Senior Indebtedness.

3.4           Attorneys-in-Fact, Proof and Voting of Claims.

(a)     Attorneys-in-Fact. The Subordinated Lender, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Senior Lender and any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors of Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness in any Insolvency Proceeding, on the Subordinated Lender’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided for in this Agreement and irrevocably appoints, which appointment is coupled with an interest, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any event of default under the Loan Agreement or any failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, Senior Lender or any such trustee, receiver, custodian or assignee, its attorneys-in-fact for such purpose with full powers of substitution and revocation.

(b)     Proof and Vote of Claims. The Subordinated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, Senior Lender as the Subordinated Lender’s true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Subordinated Lender, Senior Lender or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of Senior Lender, to the extent permitted by law, to prove and vote all claims relating to the Subordinated Indebtedness, either in the name of Senior Lender or in the name of the Subordinated Lender, by proof of debt, proof of claim, suit or otherwise, to collect any assets of Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness and to receive and collect all distributions, securities (other than Conversion Securities issued upon a Conversion), property and payments to which the Subordinated Lender would be otherwise entitled on any liquidation of Borrower or such guarantor or any of its property or in any Insolvency Proceeding affecting Borrower or such guarantor or its property; provided, however, that if Senior Lender shall not have made and presented a proof of claim in connection with the Subordinated Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) on or before 15 days prior to the bar date for the filing of such proof of claim, then the Subordinated Lender may make and present such proof of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding. In no event shall Senior Lender be liable to the Subordinated Lender for any failure to prove the Subordinated Indebtedness, to exercise any right with respect thereto or to collect any sums payable thereon.

(c)     No Interference. In addition, Subordinated Lender agrees that to the extent the Subordinated Lender holds any Subordinated Indebtedness at the relevant time, it will not take any action with respect to any such Subordinated Indebtedness that will impede, interfere with or restrict or restrain the exercise by Senior Lender of rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents and, upon the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, will take such commercially reasonable actions as the holder of any such Subordinated Indebtedness as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided hereby. In furtherance thereof, Subordinated Lender, in its capacity as a holder of Subordinated Indebtedness, hereby agrees not to (i) object to the amount of the Senior Indebtedness allowed or permitted to be asserted under the Bankruptcy Code or the extent to which the Senior Indebtedness is deemed a secured claim, (ii) oppose or object to any motion filed or supported by Senior Lender for relief from stay or for adequate protection in respect of the Senior Indebtedness, or (iii) oppose or object to any motions supported by Senior Lender for Borrower’s or any guarantor’s use of cash collateral or post-petition borrowing from Senior Lender or any proposed sale of Borrower’s assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

3.5          Effect of Provisions. The provisions hereof as to subordination are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the one hand, and the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness on the other hand, and none of such provisions shall impair, as between Borrower and the holders of its Subordinated Indebtedness, the obligations of Borrower, which are unconditional and absolute, to pay to such Holders all of the Subordinated Indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof, nor, except as provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 7 below), shall any such provisions prevent the Holders of Subordinated Indebtedness from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness upon a default thereunder, subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of Senior Indebtedness under the provisions of this Agreement.

3.6          Subrogation, Etc. Each holder of Subordinated Indebtedness hereby subordinates to the Senior Indebtedness all rights to be subrogated to the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness in respect of payments or distributions of assets of, or ownership interests in (other than Conversion Securities issued upon a Conversion and any Fractional Payment made in connection therewith), Borrower made on the Senior Indebtedness, until the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness.

3.7          Agreements Relating to Collateral. Subordinated Lender shall have no right to participate in the adjustment or settlement of any insurance losses or condemnation claims with respect to any assets or collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness. Each Subordinated Lender hereby agrees, upon the request and at the direction of Senior Lender, to endorse in favor of Senior Lender, any and all checks payable to such Subordinated Lender which represent insurance and/or condemnation proceeds paid for claims relating in any manner to any of the assets of the Borrower or any other Obligor. Each Subordinated Lender agrees, upon request by Senior Lender, to assign to Senior Lender any and all insurance proceeds and condemnation awards payable to such Subordinated Lender for claims relating to any of the assets of the Borrower or any other Obligor. Each Subordinated Lender hereby appoints Senior Lender as such Subordinated Lender’s attorney-in-fact to settle all insurance and/or condemnation claims relating to any of the assets of the Borrower or any other Obligor and to receive all payments and endorse all checks with respect to such claims to the full extent of the Senior Indebtedness.

4.            Agreement to Hold in Trust. If any Holder of Subordinated Indebtedness shall receive any payment or property of Borrower on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness in violation of this Agreement, it shall hold such payment or property in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and, promptly upon discovery or notice of such violation, pay or deliver it over to Senior Lender on behalf of such holders for application in payment of the Senior Indebtedness or to hold as collateral payment of the Senior Indebtedness, as applicable.

5.            Amendments to Subordinated Agreements/Additional Liens on Collateral. The Subordinated Lender covenants and agrees that, unless Senior Lender otherwise consents thereto in writing, (a) Subordinated Lender will not amend or modify any provision of any of the Subordinated Agreements in any manner inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) obtain liens on or security interests in any property or assets of Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness as security for the Subordinated Indebtedness, and that to the extent any such liens or security interests are created on or in any such property (by operation of law or otherwise), all such liens and security interests shall be fully subordinated and junior to the liens on and security interests in such property in favor of Senior Lender.

6.            Evidences of Subordinated Indebtedness/Legend. The Subordinated Lender, for itself and its successors and assigns as Holders of Subordinated Indebtedness, covenants to cause its Convertible Notes issued or executed by Borrower and held by the Subordinated Lender to have affixed upon it a legend which reads substantially as follows:

“THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE IS SUBJECT TO A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT IN FAVOR OF EAST WEST BANK, AS SENIOR SECURED LENDER OF THE ISSUER AND GRANTED BY THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE AS A CONDITION TO THE ISSUANCE HEREOF, WHICH IS INCORPORATED INTO THIS NOTE BY REFERENCE. HOLDER HAS SUBORDINATED HIS, HER OR ITS RIGHTS IN THIS NOTE TO THOSE OF SENIOR SECURED LENDER. BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS INSTRUMENT, THE HOLDER HEREOF AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT.”

7.            Limit on Right of Action. The Subordinated Lender, for itself and its successors and assigns, agrees for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness that, except as otherwise provided herein, until Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness, the Subordinated Lender will not, directly or indirectly, take any action to accelerate or demand payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness by Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness, to collect or receive any direct or indirect payment or distribution of assets of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities (other than Conversion Securities issued upon a Conversion and any Fractional Payments made in connection therewith), by setoff or otherwise, on or with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness, to exercise any of its remedies in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, to initiate or join with any creditor in initiating any Insolvency Proceeding of, or litigation against, Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness, or to foreclose or otherwise realize on any security given by Borrower or any other person to secure the Subordinated Indebtedness, prior to the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7 are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the one hand and the Holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness on the other and shall not otherwise limit or affect any rights which the Holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness may have against Borrower under the terms of the Convertible Notes or any other Subordinated Agreements.

8.            Marshaling. The Subordinated Lender, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby expressly waives any right that he or it otherwise might have to require Senior Lender or the holders of Senior Indebtedness to marshal any of the property of Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness, to resort to any collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness in any particular order or manner, whether provided for by common law or statute, or to enforce any guaranty or any security interest, lien, pledge of property, mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance securing the Senior Indebtedness given by Borrower as a condition precedent or concurrent to the exercise of any of the Senior Lender’s rights or remedies with respect to the Senior Indebtedness.

9.            Additional Rights of Senior Lender. If the Subordinated Lender, in violation of this Agreement, shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding against Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness, Borrower or such guarantor may interpose as a defense or plea the making of this Agreement and Senior Lender may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in Senior Lender’s name or in the name of Borrower or such guarantor. If the Subordinated Lender, in violation of this Agreement, shall attempt to enforce any security agreement, real estate mortgage, deed of trust, guaranty or any lien instrument or other encumbrance, Senior Lender may, by virtue of this Agreement, restrain the enforcement thereof in Senior Lender’s name or in the name of Borrower. If the Subordinated Lender obtains any assets of Borrower or a guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness as a result of any administrative, legal or equitable action, or otherwise, prior to the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness, the Subordinated Lender agrees forthwith to pay, deliver and assign to Senior Lender any such assets for application to the Senior Indebtedness.

10.         Subsequent Changes. Subordinated Lender expressly agrees that Senior Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to or further assent of the Subordinated Lender or any holder of Subordinated Indebtedness and without in any way releasing, affecting or impairing the obligations and liabilities of the Subordinated Lender or holder hereunder: (i) waive compliance with, or any default under, or grant any other indulgences with respect to, the Senior Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any waiver of a condition to an additional loan to be made under the Loan Agreement); (ii) modify, amend or change any provisions of the Senior Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any changes to the interest rates, payment schedules or maximum amount of the Senior Indebtedness); (iii) grant extensions or renewals of or with respect to the Senior Loan Documents, and/or effect any release, compromise or settlement in connection therewith; (iv) agree to the substitution, exchange, release or other disposition of Borrower, any guarantor or other Obligor of the Senior Indebtedness or of all or any part of any collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness (whether or not anything or any amount is received in return therefore); (v) make advances for the purpose of performing any term or covenant contained in the Senior Loan Documents, with respect to which Borrower shall be in default; and (vi) assign or otherwise transfer the Senior Loan Documents, including, without limitation, this Agreement, or any interest therein. The obligations of the Subordinated Lender under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or priority of the Senior Loan Documents or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. No exercise or nonexercise by Senior Lender of any right given to it hereunder or under the Senior Loan Documents, and no change, impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of Senior Lender, shall in any way affect any of the Subordinated Lender’s obligations hereunder or give the Subordinated Lender any recourse against Senior Lender. No right of any current or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower; by any act or failure to act by any such holder, by any act or failure to act by any other holder of the Senior Indebtedness, or by any noncompliance by Borrower with the terms hereof, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

11.            Waivers. The Subordinated Lender hereby expressly waives: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of any default hereunder or under the Senior Loan Documents and of all indulgences; (iii) demand for observance or performance of, or enforcement of, any terms or provisions of this Agreement or the Senior Loan Documents; (iv) notice of extensions of credit by Senior Lender to Borrower and of any change in the rate at which interest accrues under the Senior Loan Documents; (v) all other notices and demands otherwise required by law which the Subordinated Lender may lawfully waive; (vi) the right to assert in any action or proceeding hereupon any setoff, counterclaim or other claim which it may have against Senior Lender; (vii) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution against Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness which might otherwise arise by reason of the Subordinated Lender’s execution or performance of this Agreement; (viii) all rights (statutory or otherwise) that require Senior Lender to make an election of remedies where Senior Lender holds security interests and liens on both the real and personal property of Borrower, any guarantor of or any other Obligor on the Senior Indebtedness or to take recourse first or solely against any particular collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness; (ix) all rights (statutory or otherwise) that restrict, affect or impair the rights or remedies of Senior Lender to collect any deficiency after the application to the Senior Indebtedness of any proceeds arising from the foreclosure of the security interests and liens granted to Senior Lender pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents; (x) any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement in any action brought therefor by any party hereto, and (xi) so long as this Agreement remains in effect, the benefit of all other principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof.

12.            Indulgences Not Waivers. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Senior Lender to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or give rise to an estoppel, nor be construed as an agreement to modify the terms of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver by a party hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party making such waiver, and then only to the extent specifically stated in such writing.

13.            Covenant Not to Challenge. This Agreement has been agreed to by the parties with the expectation and in reliance upon the assumption that the instruments and documents evidencing the Senior Indebtedness and the Subordinated Indebtedness are valid and enforceable. In determining whether to enter into this Agreement, the Subordinated Lender, on the one hand, and the Senior Lender, on the other hand, have assumed such validity and enforceability, and have agreed to the provisions contained herein, without relying upon any reservation of a right to challenge or call into question such validity or enforceability. As between the Subordinated Lender, on the one hand, and the Senior Lender, on the other hand, such parties hereby covenant and agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that neither the Senior Lender nor the Subordinated Lender shall initiate in any proceeding a challenge to the validity or enforceability of the documents and instruments evidencing or securing the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Indebtedness, as applicable.

14.            Independent Credit Investigations. The Subordinated Lender, the Senior Lender, and their respective directors, officers, agents, or employees, shall not be responsible to the other for Borrower’s or any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness’s solvency, creditworthiness, financial condition, or ability to repay any of their claims or for the accuracy of any recitals, statements, representations, or warranties of Borrower or such guarantor, oral or written, or for the validity, sufficiency, enforceability, or perfection of their claims or their respective loan documents, or any security interests or liens granted by Borrower or such guarantor to any claimant in connection therewith. Senior Lender and each Subordinated Lender (each a “claimant”) has entered into its respective loan documents with Borrower based upon his, her or its own independent investigation, and makes no warranty or representation to the other claimant, nor does he, she or it rely upon any representation of any other claimant with respect to matters identified or referred to in this paragraph.

15.            Effect of Bankruptcy/Additional Financing. This Agreement is intended to be enforceable as a subordination agreement under Bankruptcy Code section 510 notwithstanding the commencement of any bankruptcy or other Insolvency Proceeding by or against Borrower and, to the full extent permitted by law, shall apply with full force and effect to any indebtedness arising pursuant to debtor-in-possession financing arrangements or pursuant to financing arrangements entered into in connection with the confirmation of a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Subordinated Lender acknowledges and consents that, to the extent that the Senior Lender elects at its option to provide to Borrower additional financing upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Senior Lender and Borrower, whether prior to, during, or after an Insolvency Proceeding, or at any other time prior to the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness, such additional indebtedness (represented by such additional financing), together with any and all interest or fees thereon (collectively, the “Additional Financing”), shall become a part of the Senior Indebtedness, and shall be treated as provided under this Agreement. Further, the Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Subordinated Lender shall not object to any terms or conditions of the Additional Financing, whether in the form of debtor-in-possession financing or cash collateral use, as may be agreed to by Senior Lender and Borrower, and the Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Subordinated Lender shall not be entitled to any adequate protection under the Bankruptcy Code (whether in the form of replacement liens or adequate protection payments) nor shall Subordinated Lender seek relief from any automatic stay until the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness.

16.            Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopied communication) and mailed or telecopied or delivered to the applicable party at the addresses indicated below.

If to any Subordinated Lender, at the address for notices indicated on the Joinder by which such Subordinated Lender became a party to this Agreement;

or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such parties in a written notice to the other parties complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section. All such notices, requests, demands and other communication shall be deemed given upon receipt by the party to whom such notice is directed.

17.          Successors; Continuing Effect, Etc. This Agreement is being entered into for the benefit of Senior Lender, each other holder of the Senior Indebtedness and each Subordinated Lender, and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall be a continuing agreement and shall be irrevocable and shall remain in full force and effect until the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness. The obligations and agreements of the Subordinated Lender hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of Senior Lender and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Senior Indebtedness which shall thereafter be required to be restored or returned by Senior Lender or the holders of the Senior Indebtedness in any Insolvency Proceeding (including, without limitation, any repayment made pursuant to any provision of Chapter 5 of Title 11, United States Code) or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.

18.          Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing signed by the party against which such modification or waiver is to be enforced.

19.          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered in the form of an electronic scan of a manual signature (for example, by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” scan of such a signature), as an electronic signature (for example, using commercial e-signature services such as DocuSign or Adobe Sign) or other commercial electronic signature delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing this Agreement (or on whose behalf such signature is executed), with the same force and effect as if such electronic signature page were an original hereof.

(a)            California law governs this Agreement without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts of Los Angeles County, California with respect to action arising under or seeking enforcement of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Senior Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on any collateral securing any Senior Indebtedness, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Senior Lender. Borrower and each Subordinated Lender expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced by any such court, and Borrower and each Senior Lender hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower and each Subordinated Lender hereby waives personal service of such summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower or such Subordinated Lender at the address determined in accordance with Section 16 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

(b)            EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE SENIOR LENDER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

(c)            WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, who shall be a retired state or federal court judge, mutually selected by the parties or, if they cannot agree, then any party may seek to have a private judge appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 and 640 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts). The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

21.          No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Senior Lender and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Subordinated Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, and neither Borrower nor any other person or entity is intended to be a third party beneficiary hereunder or to have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or because of the existence of, or to have any right to enforce, this Agreement. The Senior Lender and Subordinated Lenders shall have the right to modify or terminate this Agreement at any time without notice to or approval of the Borrower, any Obligor or any other person or entity. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between Borrower and the Subordinated Lender, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Subordinated Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or affect the relative rights of the Subordinated Lender and creditors of the Company other than Senior Lender and any other holder of Senior Indebtedness.

22.          Inconsistent or Conflicting Provisions. In the event a provision of the documents evidencing or governing the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Indebtedness is inconsistent or conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and prevail.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed under seal as of the day and year first above written.
