Authorization. Borrower’s
execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and all the Related Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary
action by Borrower and do not conflict with, result in a violation of, or constitute a default under (1) any provision of (a) Borrower’s
articles of incorporation or organization, or bylaws, or (b) any agreement or other instrument binding upon Borrower or (2) any
law, governmental regulation, court decree, or order applicable to Borrower or to Borrower’s properties.


 


Financial Information.
Each of Borrower’s financial statements supplied to Lender truly and completely disclosed Borrower’s financial
condition as of the date of the statement, and there has been no material adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition
subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statement supplied to Lender. Borrower has no material contingent obligations
except as disclosed in such financial statements.


 


Legal Effect. This
Agreement constitutes, and any instrument or agreement Borrower is required to give under this Agreement when delivered will constitute
legal, valid, and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms.


 


Properties. Except
as contemplated by this Agreement or as previously disclosed in Borrower’s financial statements or in writing to Lender and
as accepted by Lender, and except for property tax liens for taxes not presently due and payable, Borrower owns and has good title
to all of Borrower’s properties free and clear of all Security Interests, and has not executed any security documents or
financing statements relating to such properties. All of Borrower’s properties are titled in Borrower’s legal name,
and Borrower has not used or filed a financing statement under any other name for at least the last five (5) years.


 


Hazardous Substances.
Except as disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, Borrower represents and warrants that: (1) During the period
of Borrower’s ownership of the Collateral, there has been no use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal,
release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance by any person on, under, about or from any of the Collateral. (2) Borrower
has no knowledge of, or reason to believe that there has been (a) any breach or violation of any Environmental Laws; (b) any use,
generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance on, under, about
or from the Collateral by any prior owners or occupants of any of the Collateral; or (c) any actual or threatened litigation or
claims of any kind by any person relating to such matters. (3) Neither Borrower nor any tenant, contractor, agent or other authorized
user of any of the Collateral shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, dispose of or release any Hazardous Substance on,
under, about or from any of the Collateral; and any such activity shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable federal,
state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances, including without limitation all Environmental Laws. Borrower authorizes Lender
and its agents to enter upon the Collateral to make such inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance
of the Collateral with this section of the Agreement. Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be at Borrower’s expense
and for Lender’s purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender
to Borrower or to any other person. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on Borrower’s due diligence
in investigating the Collateral for hazardous waste and Hazardous Substances. Borrower hereby (1) releases and waives any future
claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such
laws, and (2) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties,
and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Agreement
or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release of a hazardous waste
or substance on the Collateral. The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the obligation to indemnify and defend,
shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the termination, expiration or satisfaction of this Agreement and shall not be
affected by Lender’s acquisition of any interest in any of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

Borrower is pending or threatened, and no other event has occurred which may materially adversely affect Borrower’s financial
condition or properties, other than litigation, claims, or other events, if any, that have been disclosed to and acknowledged by
Lender in writing.

otherwise previously disclosed to Lender in writing, Borrower has not entered into or granted any Security Agreements, or permitted
the filing or attachment of any Security Interests on or affecting any of the Collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment
of Borrower’s Loan and Note, that would be prior or that may in any way be superior to Lender’s Security Interests
and rights in and to such Collateral.


 


Binding Effect. This
Agreement, the Note, all Security Agreements (if any), and all Related Documents are binding upon the signers thereof, as well
as upon their successors, representatives and assigns, and are legally enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender.
Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any
way by any act, omission or default of Borrower or any other person. In connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender
holds or is offered a security interest for the Loans, Borrower will provide Lender with such lender’s loss payable or other
endorsements as Lender may require.


 


Insurance Reports. Furnish
to Lender, upon request of Lender, reports on each existing insurance policy showing such information as Lender may reasonably
request, including without limitation the following: (1) the name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the

Taxes, Charges and Liens.
Pay and discharge when due all of its indebtedness and obligations, including without limitation all assessments, taxes, governmental
charges, levies and liens, of every kind and nature, imposed upon Borrower or its properties, income, or profits, prior to the
date on which penalties would attach, and all lawful claims that, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon any of Borrower’s
properties, income, or profits. Provided however, Borrower will not be required to pay and discharge any such assessment, tax,
charge, levy, lien or claim so long as (1) the legality of the same shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings,
and (2) Borrower shall have established on Borrower’s books adequate reserves with respect to such contested assessment,
tax, charge, levy, lien, or claim in accordance with GAAP.


 


Performance. Perform

any property or any facility owned, leased or used by Borrower.

Requirements. Comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities
applicable to the conduct of Borrower’s properties, businesses and operations, and to the use or occupancy of the Collateral,
including without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act. Borrower may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance,
or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender
in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender’s sole opinion, Lender’s interests in the Collateral are not
jeopardized. Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect
Lender’s interest.


 


Inspection. Permit
employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time to inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower’s
other properties and to examine or audit Borrower’s books, accounts, and records and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower’s
books, accounts, and records. If Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any records (including without limitation computer
generated records and computer software programs for the generation of such records) in the possession of a third party, Borrower,
upon request of Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free access to such records at all reasonable times and to provide
Lender with copies of any records it may request, all at Borrower’s expense.

no Event of Default exists under this Agreement.


 


Environmental Compliance

result of an intentional or unintentional action or omission on Borrower’s part or on the part of any third party, on property
owned and/or occupied by Borrower, any environmental activity where damage may result to the environment, unless such environmental
activity is pursuant to and in compliance with the conditions of a permit issued by the appropriate federal, state or local governmental
authorities; shall furnish to Lender promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof a copy of any notice,
summons, lien, citation, directive, letter or other communication from any governmental agency or instrumentality concerning any
intentional or unintentional action or omission on Borrower’s part in connection with any environmental activity whether
or not there is damage to the environment and/or other natural resources.


 


Additional Assurances.
Make, execute and deliver to Lender such promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, assignments, financing
statements, instruments, documents and other agreements as Lender or its attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and secure
the Loans and to perfect all Security Interests.


 


LENDER’S EXPENDITURES.
If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if Borrower
fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Borrower’s failure
to discharge or pay when due any amounts Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents,
Lender on Borrower’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including
but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied
or placed on any Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All such expenditures
incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred
or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s
option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any
installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of
the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity.


 


NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower
covenants and agrees with Lender that while this Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent
of Lender:


 


Continuity of Operations.
(1) Engage in any business activities substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently engaged, (2) cease
operations, liquidate, merge or restructure as a legal entity (whether by division or otherwise), consolidate with or acquire any
other entity, change its name, convert to another type of entity or redomesticate, dissolve or transfer or sell Collateral out
of the ordinary course of business, or (3) pay any dividends on Borrower’s stock (other than dividends payable in its stock),
provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would result from the payment of dividends, if Borrower is a “Subchapter S Corporation” (as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts
necessary to enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax payments to satisfy their liabilities under
federal and state law which arise solely from their status as Shareholders of a Subchapter S Corporation because of their ownership
of shares of Borrower’s stock, or purchase or retire any of Borrower’s outstanding shares or alter or amend Borrower’s
capital structure.


 


Loans, Acquisitions and
Guaranties. (1) Loan, invest in or advance money or assets to any other person, enterprise or entity, (2) purchase, create
or acquire any interest in any other enterprise or entity, or (3) incur any obligation as surety or guarantor other than in the
ordinary course of business.


 


Agreements. Enter
into any agreement containing any provisions which would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower’s obligations
under this Agreement or in connection herewith.


 


CESSATION OF ADVANCES.
If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement,
Lender shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if: (A) Borrower or any Guarantor is in default
under the terms of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any Guarantor has with
Lender; (B) Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or similar
proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition, in
the financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any Guarantor seeks, claims
or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such Guarantor’s guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender.


 


RIGHT OF SETOFF. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether
checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts
Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff
would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums
owing on the debt against any and all such accounts.


 


DEFAULT. Each of
the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:


 


Payment Default. Borrower
fails to make any payment when due under the Loan.


 


Transfers, Indebtedness
and Liens. Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, fails to continue to own all of Borrower’s assets,
except for routine transfers, use or depletion in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business; Borrower, without the prior
written consent of Lender, creates or grants to any person, except Lender, any lien, security interest, encumbrance, cloud on title,
mortgage, pledge or similar interest in any of Borrower’s property, even in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business;
or, Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, sells, conveys, grants leases, gives, contributes, assigns, or otherwise
transfers any of Borrower’s assets, except for sales of inventory or leases of goods in the ordinary course of Borrower’s
business. (Initial Here   GFC  )

Other Defaults. Borrower
fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the
Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement
between Lender and Borrower.


 


Default in Favor of Third
Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement,
or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower’s or any Grantor’s
property or Borrower’s or any Grantor’s ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations under this
Agreement or any of the Related Documents.


 


False Statements. Any
warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Agreement
or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes
false or misleading at any time thereafter.


 


Insolvency. The dissolution
or termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for
any part of Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement
of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.


 


Defective Collateralization.
This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document
to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.


 


Creditor or Forfeiture
Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession
or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan. This includes
a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall
not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of
the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and
deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its
sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.


 


Events Affecting Guarantor.
Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes
incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.


 


Change in Ownership. Any
change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.


 


Adverse Change. A
material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance
of the Loan is impaired.


 


Right to Cure. If
any default, other than a default on Indebtedness, is curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given
a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may
be, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, demanding cure of such default: (1) cure the
default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender
deems in Lender’s sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continue and complete all reasonable
and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.


 


EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF
DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all
commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate
(including any obligation to make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender’s option, all Indebtedness immediately
will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the
type described in the “Insolvency” subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional. In addition,
Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise. Except
as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly
or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make
expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender’s right to
declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.


 


COUNTERPARTS. This
document 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.


 


MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Agreement:


 


Amendments. This Agreement,
together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth
in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the
party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.


 


Arbitration. Borrower
and Lender agree that all disputes, claims and controversies between them whether individual, joint, or class in nature, arising
from this Agreement or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the
financial services rules of J.A.M.S. or its successor in effect at the time the claim is filed, upon request of either party. No
act to take or dispose of any Collateral shall constitute a waiver of this arbitration agreement or be prohibited by this arbitration
agreement. This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order; invoking a power of
sale under any deed of trust or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver; or exercising any rights
relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant Article
9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Any disputes, claims, or controversies concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act,
or exercise of any right, concerning any Collateral, including any claim to rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement
relating to the Collateral, shall also be arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator shall have the right or the power to
enjoin or restrain any act of any party. Borrower and Lender agree that in the event of an action for judicial foreclosure pursuant
to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726, or any similar provision in any other state, the commencement of such an action
will not constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate and the court shall refer to arbitration as much of such action, including
counterclaims, as lawfully may be referred to arbitration. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of
competent jurisdiction. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable
in an action brought by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding
shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction,
interpretation, and enforcement of this arbitration provision.


 


Attorneys’ Fees;
Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender’s costs and expenses, including Lender’s attorneys’
fees and Lender’s legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement. Lender may hire or pay someone
else to help enforce this Agreement, and Borrower shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include
Lender’s attorneys’ fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys’ fees and
legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and
any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Borrower also shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed
by the court.

Caption Headings. Caption
headings in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this
Agreement.


 


Consent to Loan Participation.
Borrower agrees and consents to Lender’s sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests
in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever,
to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any
other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with respect to such matters.
Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of
such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as
the absolute owners of such interests in the Loan and will have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements
governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have
now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender
or such purchaser may enforce Borrower’s obligation under the Loan irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder
of any interest in the Loan. Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of any such participation interests may enforce its interests
irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.


 


Governing Law. This
Agreement will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the
State of California without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Agreement has been accepted by Lender in the State
of California.


 


Choice of Venue. If
there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Orange County, State
of California.


 


No Waiver by Lender. Lender
shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender.
No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.
A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise
to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course
of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights
or of any of Borrower’s or any Grantor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender
is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent
to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion
of Lender.


 


Notices. Any notice
required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually
received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or,
if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to
the addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement. Any party may change its address for notices under this Agreement by
giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party’s address.
For notice purposes, Borrower agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower’s current address. Unless otherwise
provided or required by law, if there is more than one Borrower, any notice given by Lender to any Borrower is deemed to be notice
given to all Borrowers.


 


Severability. If a
court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance,
that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible,
the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity,
or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement.


 


Subsidiaries and Affiliates
of Borrower. To the extent the context of any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without limitation
any representation, warranty or covenant, the word “Borrower” as used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower’s
subsidiaries and affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this Agreement be construed to
require Lender to make any Loan or other financial accommodation to any of Borrower’s subsidiaries or affiliates.


 


Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements by or on behalf of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Related Documents shall bind Borrower’s
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not, however, have
the right to assign Borrower’s rights under this Agreement or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of
Lender.


 


Survival of Representations
and Warranties. Borrower understands and agrees that in extending Loan Advances, Lender is relying on all representations,
warranties, and covenants made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by Borrower to
Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents. Borrower further agrees that regardless of any investigation made by Lender,
all such representations, warranties and covenants will survive the extension of Loan Advances and delivery to Lender of the Related
Documents, shall be continuing in nature, shall be deemed made and redated by Borrower at the time each Loan Advance is made, and
shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Borrower’s Indebtedness shall be paid in full, or until this Agreement
shall be terminated in the manner provided above, whichever is the last to occur.


 


Time is of the Essence.
Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.


 


Waive Jury. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, all parties to this Agreement hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding,
or counterclaim brought by any party against any other party.
