notice to the other party. All such notices and communications shall, when delivered or telexed,
telecopied, faxed or mailed, be effective when deposited with the courier, telexed, telecopied,

     Section 7.2 Survival of Covenants; Successors and Assigns. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall
continue in full force and effect so long as the Agreement is in effect and until all obligations
of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Related Documents shall have been paid in full.
Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall, subject
to the last sentence of this Section 7.2, be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such
party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower which are
contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Bank.
The Borrower may not transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Bank. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Borrower and the
Bank, and no other Person or entity (including, without limitation, the Bond Issuer) shall have any
right, benefit or interest under or because of the existence of this Agreement.



     Section 7.3 Participations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank shall be
permitted to grant to one or more Participants, a participation or participations in all or any
part of the Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Letter of Credit, or any other
Related Document on a participating basis but not as a party to this Agreement (a “Participation”),
without the consent of the Borrower. In the event of any such grant by the Bank of a Participation
to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower, the Bank shall remain responsible for
the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Letter of Credit, and the Borrower shall
continue to deal solely and directly with the Bank in connection with the Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and under the Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that each
such Participant shall, to the extent of its Participation, be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement as if such Participant were the Bank.



     Section 7.4 Right of Set-Off.



          (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Bank is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any
time held and other debt at any time owing by the Bank to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not the Bank shall have made any demand hereunder.




          (b) The Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after undertaking any such set-off and
application referred to in subsection (a) above, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Bank under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) which the Bank may have.

     Section 7.5 Liability of Bank: Indemnification. The Borrower hereby indemnities and
holds the Bank harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or
expenses that the Bank may incur or that may be claimed against the Bank by any Person:



          (a) by reason of or in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other Related Document, or any transaction contemplated
thereby or hereby provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to
indemnify the Bank pursuant to this Section 7.5 (a) for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities,
costs or expenses to the extent finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
been caused by the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; or




          (b) by reason of or in connection with any claim, litigation or other matter involving the
Borrower provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify
the Bank pursuant to this Section 7.5(b) for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or
expenses to the extent finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused
by the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; or




          (c) by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of, or payment
or failure to make payment under, any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Bank pursuant to this Section 7.5(c) for any
claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.




               Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of the Borrower hereunder, the
indemnities and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 7.5 shall survive the payment
in full of amounts payable pursuant to Article II and the termination of the Letter of Credit.



     Section 7.6 Liability of the Bank. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of the Beneficiary and any other beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with
respect to its use of any Letter of Credit. Neither the Bank nor any of its officers or directors
shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any
acts or omissions of the Beneficiary and any other beneficiary or transferee in connection
therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement
thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply
with the terms of the Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or
adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or
failing to make payment under the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, the Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary;
provided, that if the Bank shall receive prior written notification from the Borrower that
sufficiently identifies, in the opinion of the Bank, documents to be presented to the Bank that are
not to be honored, the Bank agrees that it will not honor such documents.

     Section 7.7 Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower will promptly pay all Expenses. In
addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined
to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement
and the other Related Documents and agrees to save the Bank harmless from and against any and all
liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and
fees.



     Section 7.8 No Waiver; Conflict.



          (a) Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any right, power
or privilege hereunder, nor any course of dealing with respect to any of the same, shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative, and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.




          (b) To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement on the one hand and any other Related
Document on the other hand, this Agreement shall control as between the Borrower and the Bank.




     Section 7.9 Modification, Amendment, Waiver, Etc. No modification, amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the parties hereto, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose given.



     Section 7.10 Dealing with the Borrower. The Bank and its affiliates may accept
deposits from, extend credit to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with the Borrower regardless of the capacity of the Bank hereunder.



     Section 7.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, and the
remaining portion of such provision and all other remaining provisions hereof will be construed to
render them enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.



     Section 7.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but when taken together shall constitute
but one agreement and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such
counterpart.



     Section 7.13 Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents and the Section and
subsection headings used herein have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not
constitute matters to be considered in interpreting this Agreement.

     Section 7.15 CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.



          (a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED
TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT), THE
CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES
HERETO AND THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO OR
THERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD FOR PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.




          (b) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE STATE AND
FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE
BROUGHT, AT BANK’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE BANK ELECTS TO BRING SUCH ACTION
OR WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. THE BORROWER AND THE BANK WAIVE, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM
NON CONVENIENS  OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THIS SECTION.




          (c) THE BORROWER AND THE BANK HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE RELATED
DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS,
TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE BORROWER AND
BANK REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS
JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF
THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.




     Section 7.16 Reference Provision.



          (a) In the event the Jury Trial Waiver provision contained in Section 7.16(c) is invalid or
unenforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.




Page 25









 








          (b) Other than (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of security interests in real or personal property,
(ii) the appointment of a receiver or (iii) the exercise of other provisional remedies (any of
which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a
"Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Loan Document,
will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of
Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor
sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including
whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided herein or
in the Related Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court or
Federal District Court in the County or District where the real property, if any, is located or in
a County or District where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the
“Court”).




          (c) The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of
the parties. If the parties do not agree, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of
the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on
an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex
parte relief is not granted. The referee shall be appointed to sit with all the powers provided by
law. Each party shall have one peremptory challenge pursuant to CCP §170.6. Pending appointment
of the referee, the Court has power to issue temporary or provisional remedies.




          (d) The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings.
Accordingly, the referee shall be requested to (i) set the matter for a status and trial- setting
conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if
practicable, try all issues of law or fact within ninety (90) days after the date of the conference
and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been
submitted for decision. Any decision rendered by the referee will be final, binding and
conclusive, and judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP §644.




          (e) The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The
referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s
failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered, no
party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either
party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within
fifteen (15) 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.




          (f) 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 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, and the referee will be provided
a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to
arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to




Page 26









 







award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee
and the court reporter at trial.




          (g) 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, provide all temporary or provisional
remedies, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which
would be authorized in a trial, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or
summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding
which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. The referee’s
decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the
action had been tried by the Court. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final
judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties
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.




          (h) If 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 reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration
will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act
§1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to
discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.




          (i) THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION
WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY, AND THAT THEY ARE IN EFFECT WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN AGREEING TO THIS REFERENCE PROVISION. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND
FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN
THEM WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATED DOCUMENTS.
