(a) Other than (i) nonjudicial foreclosure and all matters in connection
therewith regarding security interests in real or personal property; or (ii) the
appointment of a receiver, or the exercise of other provisional remedies (any
and all of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), each controversy,
dispute or claim between the parties arising out of or relating to this Credit
Agreement, any security agreement executed by Borrower in favor of Lender or any
notes executed by Borrower in favor of Lender or any other agreement or
instrument issued in favor of Lender by Borrower (collectively in this Section,
the "Agreement") which controversy, dispute or claim is not settled in writing
within thirty (30) days after the "CLAIM DATE" (defined as the date on which a
party subject to this Agreement gives written notice to all other parties that a
controversy, dispute or claim exists), will be settled by a reference proceeding
in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 838 ET SEQ. of the
California Code of Civil Procedure, or their successor section ("CCP"), which
shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the settlement of any controversy,
dispute or claim concerning this Agreement, including whether such controversy,
dispute or claim is subject to the reference proceeding and except as set forth
above, the parties waive their rights to initiate any legal proceedings against
each other in any court or jurisdiction other than the Superior Court in the
County of Los Angeles (the "Court"). The referee shall be a retired Judge of the
Court selected by mutual agreement of the parties, and if they cannot so agree
within forty-five (45) days after the Claim Date, the referee shall be promptly
selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his representative). The
referee shall be appointed to sit as a temporary judge, with all of the powers
for a temporary judge, as authorized by law, and upon selection should take and
subscribe to the oath of office as provided for in Rule 244 of the California
Rules of Court (or any subsequently enacted Rule). Each party shall have one
peremptory challenge pursuant to CCP ss.110.6. The referee shall (a) be
requested to set the matter for hearing within sixty (80) days after the date of
selection of the referee and (b) try any and all issues of law or fact and
report a statement of decision upon them, if possible, within ninety (90) days
14
of the Claim Date. Any decision rendered by the referee will be final, binding
and conclusive and judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP ss.64.4 in any
court in the state of California having jurisdiction. Any party may apply for a
reference proceeding at any time after thirty (30) days following notice to any
other party of the nature of the controversy, dispute or claim, by filing a
petition for a hearing and/or trial. All discovery permitted by this Agreement
shall be completed no later than fifteen (15) days before the first hearing date
established by the referee. The referee may extend such period in the event of a
party's refusal to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever,
including, without limitation, legal objections raised to such discovery or
unavailability of a witness due to absence or illness. No party shall be
entitled to "priority" in conducting discovery. Depositions may be taken by
either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and request for production or
inspection of documents shall be responded to within ten (10) days after
service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the
parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and
binding upon the parties. Pending appointment of the referee as provided herein,
the Superior Court is empowered to issue temporary and/or provisional remedies,
as appropriate.
(b) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall
determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including
the time and place of all hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and
all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference
proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except
for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter except that when any
party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before
the referee. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to
arrange for and pay for the court reporter. The costs of the court reporter at
the trial shall be borne equally by the parties.
(c) The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance
with existing case law and the statutory laws of the state of California. The
rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the state of California
will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered
to enter equitable as well as legal relief, to provide all temporary and/or
provisional remedies and to enter equitable orders that will be binding upon the
parties. The referee shall issue a single judgment at the close of the reference
proceeding which shall dispose of all of the a claims of the parties that are
the subject of the reference. The parties hereto expressly reserve the right to
contest or appeal from the final judgment or any appealable order or appealable
judgment entered by the referee. The parties hereto expressly reserve the right
to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and
the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if
granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.
(d) In the event that the enabling legislation which provides for
appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any
dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by the reference
procedure herein described xxxx be resolved and determined by arbitration. The
arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge of the Court, in accordance
with the California Arbitration Act, ss.1280 through ss.1294.2 of the CCP as
amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery as set
forth hereinabove shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
