This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date any Bank makes written demand therefor.

- 16 -


to fund or maintain Fixed Rate Advances (i) the obligations of all Banks to make Advances at the Fixed Rate and to convert Advances to the Fixed Rate shall be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (ii) in the event such Regulatory Change makes the maintenance of Advances at the Fixed Rate unlawful, Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all Fixed Rate Advances then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and all amounts in connection with such prepayment specified in Section 2.1.3(l) unless Borrower, within five (5) Business Days of notice from Administrative Agent, converts all Fixed Rate Advances then outstanding into Variable Rate Advances pursuant to the conversion procedures in Section 2.1.3(b) and pays all amounts in connection with such prepayments or conversions specified in Section 2.1.3(l).

If any payment of all or any portion of a Fixed Rate Advance shall be made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Fixed Rate Advance (such last day, the “Termination Date”), or if Borrower shall

 

- 17 -


convert a Fixed Rate Advance to a Variable Rate Advance other than on the Termination Date for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of any optional or required prepayment under the Loan Documents and any acceleration of the Maturity Date) then, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall also, on demand by Administrative Agent, reimburse Banks and hold the Banks harmless from all losses and expenses incurred by Banks as the result of such prepayment, including, without limitation, any losses and expenses arising from the liquidation or reemployment of deposits acquired to fund or maintain the principal amount prepaid. Such reimbursement shall be calculated as though each Bank funded the principal amount prepaid through the purchase of U.S. dollar deposits in the London England Interbank Market having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Fixed Rate for such Interest Period, whether, in fact that is the case or not. Each Bank’s determination of the amount of such reimbursement shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

 

(m) If any payment of principal and/or interest (excluding the payment of principal upon maturity or acceleration) is not received by Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) days after its due date, then, in addition to the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount due and unpaid will be charged to Borrower without notice to Borrower.

The Maximum Borrower Debt to Value Ratio shall be calculated by Administrative Agent based upon (i) the Development Budget, (ii) each Borrowing Certificate most recently submitted to Administrative Agent by Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4.6 (adjusted as determined by Administrative Agent from time to time to reflect portions of the Project sold, property released from the Deed of Trust, and other adjustments and limitations pursuant to this Agreement), (iii) Administrative Agent’s inspections made pursuant to Section 6.11 (as such inspections may result in any adjustment to reflect any variance between (A) the amounts set forth on the Borrowing Certificate and (B) the result of such inspections or other information available to Administrative Agent), and (iv) Appraisals and such other information as Administrative Agent may reasonably require in order to verify such amounts. Each Borrowing Certificate shall accurately reflect the valuation of the Project as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such certificate is due. Each Borrowing Certificate shall exclude the portions of Land that have been released from the Deed of Trust or otherwise excluded.

 

(b) Right to Exclude/Adjust.

The exclusion of any property or the

 

- 20 -


reduction of the Net Book Value and/or Market Value shall not require Administrative Agent to release such property from the Deed of Trust or Security Agreement and Administrative Agent shall be obligated to release Collateral only pursuant to Section 3.2. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of its calculation of the Maximum Borrower Debt to Value Ratio in determining the Available Commitment.

 

(c) Administrative Agent Determination. If Borrower fails to deliver a Borrowing Certificate as and when required, then, in addition to Administrative Agent’s other rights and remedies, Administrative Agent may calculate the Maximum Borrower Debt to Value Ratio based upon information available to Administrative Agent and such determination by Administrative Agent shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error.

As among Administrative Agent and the Banks, the provisions of the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement shall control over any conflicting provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

- 56 -


9.3 Ownership and Possession of Loan Documents. Each of the Banks will own an undivided interest in the Obligations and the Loan Documents equal to its Pro Rata Interest. Administrative Agent will hold in its possession, as agent, at its Funding Office, or at such other location as Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Banks, the Loan Documents for the pro rata benefit of itself as one of the Banks and each of the other Banks; provided that each Bank will receive and hold an original Note in its favor in the amount of its Commitment. Administrative Agent will keep and maintain complete and accurate files and records of all matters pertaining to the Obligations. Upon reasonable prior notice to Administrative Agent by the Banks, the files and records will be made available to the Banks and their representatives and agents for inspection and copying during normal business hours.

 

9.4 SEVERAL AND NOT JOINT NATURE OF OBLIGATIONS. ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE AGENCY/INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE BANKS PURSUANT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS WILL BE SEVERAL AND NOT JOINT. IN THE EVENT ANY BANK BREACHES ITS OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER MAY ENFORCE ITS RIGHTS ONLY AGAINST THE BANK OR BANKS CAUSING SUCH BREACH, AND BORROWER SHALL HAVE NO RIGHTS AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER BANKS. TO THE EXTENT THAT BORROWER IS ENTITLED TO DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH BREACHING BANK OR BANKS, THE PORTION OF SUCH DAMAGES (IF ANY) REPRESENTING UNEARNED FEES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL ONLY RELATE TO THE PORTION OF SUCH FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO THE BREACHING BANK OR BANKS. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY BANK BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH A BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS NOR SHALL ANY BANK BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE BREACH OF ANY OTHER BANK.

 

9.5 Administration. Administrative Agent will administer this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and service the Obligations, and the Banks will fund the Advances, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent will have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement.

 

9.6 Assignments and Participations. At any time either concurrently with or subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Banks, to the extent permitted by the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement, each Bank may assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, an “Assignee”) portions of its rights and obligations as a Bank under this Agreement and the Loan; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan, (ii) each portion of rights and obligations assigned shall not be less than $10,000,000; (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance such assignment documents as Administrative Agent may require, (iv) an assignment fee of $3,500 is paid by Assignee to Administrative Agent; and (v) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assignment by a Bank shall be subject to

 

- 57 -


Borrower’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If any such approval is not withheld in writing with a statement of the reasons therefor within ten (10) days after a Bank gives notice of such Bank’s desire to make such an assignment, such approval shall be deemed given. Any disapproval of an assignment by Borrower shall also include any recommendations of Borrower regarding acceptable assignees. Upon such assignment, the Assignee shall be a Bank to the extent of the Assignee’s applicable Pro Rata Interest, and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan have been assigned, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Documents and under the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement. Upon the consummation of an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6 and the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferee or Bank and new Notes, or, as appropriate, replacement notes are issued to the purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Pro Rata Interest, as adjusted pursuant to the assignment. In addition, Borrower will execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as Administrative Agent may require in order to confirm the assignee of an interest in the Obligations has become a Bank hereunder and acknowledging the resulting Pro Rata Interests of the Banks. Any Bank making an assignment as hereinabove provided will be automatically released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of the Pro Rata Interest assigned. To the extent permitted by the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement, Banks may also transfer interests by way of participations; provided, in each case, (i) such selling party’s obligations to Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such selling party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (iii) the selling party’s responsibility to the Administrative Agent shall remain unchanged; (iv) such selling party shall remain a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement, and (v) the Administrative Agent and other parties to this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such selling party in connection with such selling party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. In addition to assignments permitted pursuant to this Section 9.6 and the Intercreditor/Agency Agreement, any Bank may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and the Note held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable laws, rules or regulations. In order to facilitate such assignments and participations, the Borrower shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

 

9.7 Relationship of Borrower to Administrative Agent and Banks.

 

9.7.1 Right and Obligation to Deal with Administrative Agent. Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent, for itself and the Banks, has the sole and exclusive authority to perform this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents on behalf of themselves, Banks and any participants. Borrower will have no obligation to deal directly with any of the parties to this Agreement other than Administrative Agent with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

9.7.2 Borrower Requests for Approvals and Determinations. Borrower will direct all requests for approvals and consents from, and determinations to be made by,

 

- 58 -


Administrative Agent or Banks to Administrative Agent. All notices delivered by Banks to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be delivered through Administrative Agent.

 

9.7.3 Form of Request. With respect to matters under the Loan Documents for which approval, consent, or determination of Administrative Agent is required, Borrower’s request will:

 

(a) Be given in the form of a written request to Administrative Agent;

 

(b) Be accompanied by a reasonably detailed description of the matter as to which such determination, approval or consent is requested;

 

(c) Include, to the extent not previously provided to Administrative Agent, all written materials required to be provided by the Loan Documents and as may be necessary or appropriate to enable Administrative Agent to make an informed decision; and

 

(d) Include such other information as Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate.

 

9.7.4 Rights to Consult and Seek Approvals. With respect to any matter for which Administrative Agent is given discretion or is entitled to act pursuant to this Agreement, Administrative Agent will have the right (in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent) to consult with or act at the direction of all or any combination of Banks, provided that Administrative Agent will only be obligated to so consult with Banks to the extent provided in this Agreement or the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that notwithstanding the fact that Administrative Agent is granted discretion in this Agreement to grant approvals and consents or make decisions or determinations, the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement may impose certain restrictions and limitations on the exercise of such discretion. In no event will Administrative Agent be deemed to have acted unreasonably or in violation of this Agreement if Administrative Agent withholds any consent, approval or other matter, or acts or refrains from acting, at the direction of all or any combination of Banks or because a certain number of Banks have failed to approve such action, consent, approval or other matter. With respect to all consents and other matters hereunder, Borrower is entitled to rely upon notices, demands and other communications from Administrative Agent and is not obligated to determine whether Administrative Agent has obtained any required consents of Banks. Borrower also acknowledges and agrees that the matters with respect to which Administrative Agent is required to seek an approval of the other Banks include, without limitation, (i) change or reduce the interest rate provisions set forth in the Loan Documents; (ii) increase the maximum principal amount of the Loan; (iii) extend the Maturity Date; (iv) forgive the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan or the payment of any other sum due under the Loan Documents to which any Bank is entitled or modify the required payment dates under the Loan Documents other than Late Charges or interest at the default rate; (v) release any Loan Party from its Obligations; (vi) permit or consent to any sale or transfer of the ownership interest in a Loan Party to the extent otherwise prohibited under the Loan Documents; (vii) require any Bank to fund any Loan Advance other than based on its Pro Rata Interest; (viii) approve any application of payments

 

- 59 -


other than pursuant to the Loan Documents; (ix) release any Collateral except as provided for in the Loan Agreement or modify any terms applicable to any such Collateral; (x) permit or consent to any voluntary or involuntary sale or transfer of all or any portion of the Collateral or permit any subordinate financing or additional financing of the Collateral or the Borrower or the ownership interest thereof, except as provided for in the Loan Documents; (xi) make Protective Advances; (xii) make arrangements for or agree to the distribution of insurance or condemnation proceeds in a manner not contemplated or required by the Loan Documents;(xiii) modify or waive in any material respect the timing of, or the terms and conditions of, the Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents with respect to Loan Advances; (xiv) amend, modify or waive any financial covenants, any Events of Default, or any of the negative covenants; (xv) approve any amendment to any Maintenance Agreement; (xvi) waive or modify any conditions precedent to Advances; (xvii) waive or modify any provisions of any of the Maintenance Agreements; and (xviii) approve any Appraisal.

 

9.8 Successor Agents. Any successor or replacement Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement will be entitled to all the rights and benefits of Administrative Agent hereunder and Borrower will recognize such successor or replacement Administrative Agent and deal with such successor or replacement Administrative Agent as provided herein; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such successor or replacement Administrative Agent shall be subject to Borrower’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If any such approval is not withheld in writing with a statement of the reasons therefor within ten (10) days after notice by Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, such approval shall be deemed given. Any disapproval of a successor or replacement Administrative Agent shall also include any recommendations of Borrower regarding acceptable successor or replacement Administrative Agents. Upon the appointment of any such successor or replacement Administrative Agent and subject to the terms of the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement, CBT will be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to the extent accruing after such appointment and such successor or replacement Administrative Agent will assume such duties and obligations accruing from and after such appointment.

 

9.9 Distribution of Information. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent may provide to Banks, and that Banks may provide and communicate to any participant or assignee, originals or copies of this Agreement, all Loan Documents and all other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, letters of credit, reports requisitions and other materials and information of every nature or description, and all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of Borrower or received by Administrative Agent in connection with the Obligations; provided that such participants or assignees agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information except for disclosure to attorneys and accountants of such participants or assignees or to the extent disclosure is required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, judicial process, or to the extent that such information is otherwise publicly available

 

10. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND BANKS OBLIGATIONS TO BORROWER ONLY AND DISCLAIMER BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND BANKS. No Person, other than Borrower, Administrative Agent and Banks shall have any rights hereunder or be a third-party

 

- 60 -


beneficiary hereof. Administrative Agent and Banks are not joint venturers with or partners of Borrower. Administrative Agent and Banks shall not be obligated to any Person providing labor, materials, or other services for the Project and payment of funds from Advances directly to any such Persons shall not give or be a recognition of any third-party beneficiary status.

 

11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

 

11.1 Survival. The representations, warranties, and covenants of the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents will survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of Advances to Borrower.

 

11.2 Integration, Entire Agreement, Change, Discharge, Termination, Waiver, Approval, Consent, Etc. The Loan Documents and the Agency/Intercreditor Agreement contain the complete understanding and agreement of the Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and Banks with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersede all prior representations, warranties, agreements, arrangements, understandings, and negotiations. No provision of the Loan Documents may be changed, discharged, supplemented, terminated, or waived except in a writing signed by or on behalf of the parties thereto. Delay or failure by Administrative Agent or Banks to insist on performance of any obligation when due or compliance with any other term or condition in the Loan Documents will not operate as a waiver thereof or of any other obligation, term or condition or of the time of the essence provision. Acceptance of late payments will not be a waiver of the time of the essence provision, the right of Administrative Agent or Banks to require that subsequent payments be made when due, or the right of Administrative Agent or Banks to declare an Event of Default if subsequent payments are not made when due. Any approval, consent, or statement that a matter is satisfactory by Administrative Agent or Banks under the Loan Documents must be in writing executed by Administrative Agent or Banks and will be construed to apply only to the Person(s) and facts specifically set forth in the writing.

 

11.3 Binding Effect. The Loan Documents will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, Banks and Borrower and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign any of their rights or delegate any of their obligations under the Loan Documents and any purported assignment or delegation will be void.

 

11.4 Severability. If any provision or any part of any provision of the Loan Documents is unenforceable, the enforceability of the other provisions and the remainder of the subject provision, respectively, will not be affected and they will remain in full force and effect.

 

11.5 CHOICE OF LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR CALIFORNIA STATE COURT SITTING IN ORANGE COUNTY IN ANY ACTION OR

 

- 61 -


PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY BANK TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY BORROWER AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY BANK OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY BANK INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CALIFORNIA.

 

11.6 Time of Essence; Time for Performance. Time is of the essence with regard to each provision of the Loan Documents as to which time is a factor. Whenever any performance under the Loan Documents is stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day or whenever the time for taking any action under the Loan Documents would fall on a day other than a Business Day, then unless otherwise specifically provided in the Loan Documents the due date for such performance or the time for taking such action, as the case may be, will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time will be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

11.7 Notices and Demands. Except to the extent that telephonic notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower may be permitted pursuant to this Agreement, all demands or notices under the Loan Documents will be in writing and mailed or hand-delivered to the respective party hereto at the address specified on the first page of this Agreement or such other address as will have been specified in a written notice. Any demand or notice mailed will be mailed first-class mail, postage-prepaid, return-receipt-requested and will be effective upon the earlier of (a) actual receipt by the addressee, and (b) the date shown on the return-receipt. Any demand or notice not mailed will be effective upon actual receipt by the addressee. A copy of any notice to Administrative Agent will also be sent to counsel for Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent’s counsel is Joseph L. Coleman, Snell & Wilmer L.L.P., 1920 Main Street, Suite 1200, Irvine, California 92614.

- 62 -


contingent, matured, or unmatured; and (b) a security interest in the Deposits, Liabilities, and Obligations to secure the Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.

 

11.9 Indemnification of Banks. Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Bank, and their respective successors, assigns, agents, servants, officers, directors, and employees, for, from, and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from any claim or demand in respect of the Loan Documents, the Collateral, or the transactions described in the Loan Documents and arising at any time, whether before or after payment and performance of the Obligations in full except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person indemnified. The obligations of Borrower and the rights of Administrative Agent and Banks under this Section, and under all other indemnification provisions in the Loan Documents, will survive payment and performance of the Obligations in full and will remain in full force and effect without termination. If Borrower fails to pay and perform any of its indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 11.9 or otherwise arising pursuant to the Loan Documents, then Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent all costs, expenses, and fees thereafter incurred by Administrative Agent or any Bank with respect to matters covered by such indemnification obligations, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, all such amounts to be payable upon demand.

 

11.10 Rescission or Return of Payments. If at any time or from time to time, whether before or after payment and performance of the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents in full, all or any part of any amount received by Administrative Agent and Banks in payment of, or on account of, any Obligation is or must be, or is claimed to be, avoided, rescinded, or returned by Administrative Agent or Banks to Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Borrower or any other Person), such obligation and any liens, security interests, and other encumbrances that secured such obligations at the time such avoided, rescinded, or returned payment was received by Administrative Agent or Banks will be deemed to have continued in existence or will be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been received.

 

11.11 Headings; References. The headings at the beginning of each section of the Loan Documents are solely for convenience and are not part of the Loan Documents.

11.14 Waivers by Borrower. Borrower (a) waives, to the full extent permitted by law, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, and all other or demand of any kind (except notices specifically provided for in the Loan Documents); and (b) agrees that Administrative Agent and Banks may enforce the Loan Documents against Borrower without first having sought enforcement against any Collateral.

 

11.15 WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. BORROWER WAIVES, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO PLEAD ANY STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS AS A DEFENSE TO PAYMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY OR ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS.

11.17 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, BORROWER AND EACH BANK HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN OR AMONG THE UNDERSIGNED, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND/OR ANY BANK ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT.
