         SECTION 7.11. ARBITRATION.

         (a) ARBITRATION. Upon the demand of any party, any Dispute shall be
resolved by binding arbitration (except as set forth in (e) below) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A "Dispute" shall mean any
action, dispute, claim or controversy of any kind, whether in contract or
tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter
arising under or in connection with, or in any way pertaining to, any of the
Loan Documents, or any past, present or future extensions of credit and other
activities, transactions or obligations of any kind related directly or
indirectly to any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, any of
the foregoing arising in connection with the exercise of any self-help,
ancillary or other remedies pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. Any party
may by summary proceedings bring an action in court to compel


                                      20
<PAGE>

arbitration of a Dispute. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to
arbitration following a lawful demand by any other party shall bear all costs
and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any
Dispute.

         (b) GOVERNING RULES. Arbitration proceedings shall be administered
by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or such other administrator
as the parties shall mutually agree upon in accordance with the AAA
Commercial Arbitration Rules. All Disputes submitted to arbitration shall be
resolved in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the
United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision
in any of the Loan Documents. The arbitration shall be conducted at a
location in California selected by the AAA or other administrator. If there
is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and any such rules, the terms
and procedures set forth herein shall control. All statutes of limitation
applicable to any Dispute shall apply to any arbitration proceeding. All
discovery activities shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant
to the Dispute being arbitrated. Judgment upon any award rendered in an
arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction; provided
however, that 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. ss.91
or any similar applicable state law.

         (c) NO WAIVER; PROVISIONAL REMEDIES, SELF-HELP AND FORECLOSURE. No
provision hereof shall limit the right of any party to exercise self-help
remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal
property collateral or security, or to obtain provisional or ancillary
remedies, including without limitation injunctive relief, sequestration,
attachment, garnishment or the appointment of a receiver, from a court of
competent jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any
arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of any such remedy shall not
waive the right of any party to compel arbitration or reference hereunder.

         (d) ARBITRATOR QUALIFICATIONS AND POWERS; AWARDS. Arbitrators must
be active members of the California State Bar or retired judges of the state
or federal judiciary of California, with expertise in the substantive laws
applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute. Arbitrators are empowered to
resolve Disputes by summary rulings in response to motions filed prior to the
final arbitration hearing. Arbitrators (i) shall resolve all Disputes in
accordance with the substantive law of the state of California, (ii) may
grant any remedy or relief that a court of the state of California could
order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is
necessary to make effective any award, and (iii) shall have the power to
award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such
other actions as they deem necessary to the same extent a


                                      21
<PAGE>

judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the California
Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Any Dispute in which the
amount in controversy is $5,000,000 or less shall be decided by a single
arbitrator who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000
(including damages, costs, fees and expenses). By submission to a single
arbitrator, each party expressly waives any right or claim to recover more
than $5,000,000. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds
$5,000,000 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.

         (e) JUDICIAL REVIEW. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds
$25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific, written
findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such arbitrations (i) the
arbitrators shall not have the power to make any award which is not supported
by substantial evidence or which is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall
not be binding upon the parties unless the findings of fact are supported by
substantial evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous under the
substantive law of the state of California, and (iii) the parties shall have
in addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for
vacating, modifying or correcting an award the right to judicial review of
(A) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by
substantial evidence, and (B) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous
under the substantive law of the state of California. Judgment confirming an
award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the
award is supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error under
the substantive law of the state of California.

         (f) REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL; JUDICIAL REFERENCE. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration
if the Dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole
or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien
or security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the
arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or
benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule
statute of California, thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and obligations
of the parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such
indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If
any such Dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the Dispute shall be
referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 638 et seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be
specifically enforceable in accordance with said Section 638. A


                                      22
<PAGE>

referee with the qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be
selected pursuant to the AAA's selection procedures. Judgment upon the
decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in which such
proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 644 and 645.

         (g) 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, by
applicable law or regulation, or to the extent necessary to exercise any
judicial review rights set forth herein. 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
