If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of the State, in either ease with a minimum of ten years’ experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of the State and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the corresponding rules of civil practice and procedure applicable in the State or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

(i) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in which either party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.

SECTION 7.14 NO IMMUNITY. To the extent that Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section shall have the fullest scope permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and arc intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such act, or any act that replaces it. The foregoing waiver is intended to be effective to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the applicable law of any jurisdiction in which any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be commenced.

SECTION 7.15 PAYMENTS. Any payments made to Bank by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be free and clear of any deductions or withholdings for or on account of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatever nature imposed by any government, political subdivision, bank or taxing authority. Borrower

shall pay to Bank such amounts as may be necessary in order that every payment made by Borrower hereunder, after Borrower makes any required deductions or withholding for or on account of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatever nature imposed by any government, political subdivision, bank or taxing authority, shall not be less than the payment otherwise required hereunder. For avoidance of doubt, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the repayment of all obligations of Borrower to Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 7.16 WITHHOLDING. Without limiting Bank’s rights under any of the other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event any taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatever nature are assessed against Bank in connection with payments to Bank by Borrower hereunder or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Borrower shall pay when due, and indemnify and hold Bank harmless from, such charges, without reducing the net amount of such payments to be made to Bank below that amount which Bank would have received had such taxes or charges not been assessed. Borrower shall furnish to Bank a receipt evidencing payment of any such taxes or charges promptly after such payment, and the tax return or other report filed with respect to any such taxes or charges promptly after such filing, and, in any event, shall provide each such receipt and each such return or report within ten (10) days after receipt of Bank’s request therefor from time to time. For avoidance of doubt, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the repayment of all obligations of Borrower to Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 7.17 DOCUMENTARY TAXES. Borrower agrees to pay, and to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from, any present or future claim or liability for any registration, stamp, documentary, court or similar taxes, fees or charges, or any penalties or interest with respect thereto, which may be assessed, levied or collected by the British Virgin Islands, any state, province, district or other political subdivision of the British Virgin Islands, any other country or other jurisdiction in which Borrower now or in the future maintains any property or assets, or any governmental agency of any of the foregoing, or otherwise in connection with the execution, notarization, formalization, issuance, delivery, filing, registration or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If Bank requests, Borrower shall furnish to Bank a receipt evidencing payment of any such taxes or other amounts, and the tax returns or other reports filed with respect to such taxes or other amounts, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such request. For avoidance of doubt, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the repayment of all obligations of Borrower to Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 7.18 REGISTRATION. If requested by Bank at any time, Borrower shall cause this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be registered, notarized or otherwise formalized to the extent at any time required by the applicable laws of the British Virgin Islands, the applicable laws of any state, province, district or other political subdivision of the British Virgin Islands, or the applicable laws of any other country or other jurisdiction in which Borrower now or in the future maintains any property or assets, and Borrower agrees to pay, and indemnify and hold Bank harmless from, any liability for any stamp taxes or any registration, documentation or other types of fees, charges, taxes or fines in connection with any such registration, notarization or formalization. Borrower shall provide Bank with evidence of such

registration within thirty (30) days after Bank’s request for such evidence, which evidence shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. For avoidance of doubt, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the repayment of all obligations of Borrower to Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 7.19 JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. Any suit, action or proceeding against Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, except to the extent any arbitration provisions of this Agreement apply to the subject matter of such suit, action or proceeding and require resolution by an arbitrator or arbitrators. Borrower hereby submits to the jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment. Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction by the mailing by certified mail of copies thereof by U.S. airmail, postage prepaid, to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 7.2, above. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, the confirmation of any award rendered in an arbitration proceeding pursuant to any arbitration provisions of this Agreement, shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection which Borrower now has or may hereafter acquire to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, and any objection on the ground that any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the right or ability of Bank to serve any writs, processes or summonses in any other manner permitted under applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over Borrower in such other jurisdictions and in such other manner as may be permitted under applicable law.

SECTION 7.20 JUDGMENT CURRENCY. Notwithstanding any judgment rendered against Borrower in a currency other than United States Dollars, whether in connection with a judicial proceeding or arbitration proceeding, Borrower shall not be relieved of any obligation with respect to any amount owed by Borrower to Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent of the amount in United States Dollars which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, Bank is able to acquire with such amount of such other currency on the Banking Day (a day when Bank is open for business in New York, New York) following receipt of such amount by Bank. If the amount in United States Dollars so acquired is less than -the amount due to Bank, then Borrower agrees to indemnify Bank by paying the difference between such amounts in United States Dollars. If the amount in United States Dollars so acquired is more than the amount due to Bank, then Bank agrees to remit such excess to Borrower. The payment of any additional amount so required of Borrower under this Section shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of Borrower, notwithstanding any award of judgment.
