California.  THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT)
WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE
MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES.”

3.             Section
12 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:

“12.         REFERENCE
PROVISION.

12.1         In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set
forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this
Judicial Reference Provision.

12.2         With the exception of the items
specified in Section 12.3, below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”)
between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively
in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference
proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 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 in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference
proceeding will be in the Superior Court in the County where the real property
involved in the 

action, if any, is located or in a County where venue
is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

12.3         The matters that shall not be subject
to a reference are the following: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security
interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of selfhelp remedies
(including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and
(iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without
limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining
orders or preliminary injunctions). This Agreement does not limit the right of
any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in
clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent
jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise
of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party
to a reference pursuant to this Agreement.

12.4         The referee shall be a retired Judge or
Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do
not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party,
then, upon request of any party, 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.

12.5         The parties agree that time is of the
essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall
be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good
cause shown, 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 one hundred twenty (120) 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.

12.6         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 based upon good cause shown, 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.

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

12.8         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, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and
rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, 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.  Pursuant to CCP § 644, such 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 and any such decision will be final, binding
and conclusive.  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.

12.9         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.

12.10       THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL
CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL
BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES
THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM
BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.”

4.             Unless
otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be
as defined in the Agreement.  The
Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in
accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in
all respects.  Except as expressly set
forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall
not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy
of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

5.             Borrower
represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in
the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other than under Section
8.6 of the Agreement for Borrower’s loan with GE Capital (“GE Capital Loan”).    Borrower
shall be back in compliance with the GE Capital Loan by January 29, 2007, which
shall be evidenced by a letter from GE Capital confirming that Borrower is back
in compliance with the GE Capital Loan.

6.             As
a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received,
in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:

(a)           this
Amendment, duly executed by Borrower;

(b)           a
Certificate of the Secretary of Borrower with respect to incumbency and
resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Amendment;

(c)           a
Third Amended and Restated Guaranty from each Guarantor in the form attached
hereto, together with resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of the
same;

amendment fee in the amount of $3,500, which shall be due and payable and
nonrefundable on the date hereof, and which may be debited from any of Borrower’s
accounts;

(e)           all
Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, including a $1,000
legal fee, which shall be due and payable and nonrefundable on the date hereof,
and which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts; and

(f)            such
other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably
deem necessary or appropriate.

7.             This
Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment as of the second

THIRD AMENDED AND
RESTATED UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY

(Safeguard Scientifics
(Delaware), Inc.)

(Safeguard Delaware,
Inc.)

 

For and in consideration of the loan by COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) to
CLARIENT, INC., a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Chromavision Medical
Systems, Inc. (“Borrower”), which loan is made pursuant to a Loan Agreement
dated as of February 13, 2003, as amended from time to time, including but not
limited to that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as
of October 21, 2003, that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement dated as of January 22, 2004, that certain Third Amendment to Loan
Agreement dated as of January 31, 2005, that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan
Agreement dated as of March 11, 2005, that certain Waiver and Fifth Amendment
to Loan Agreement dated as of August 1, 2005, that certain Sixth Amendment to
Loan Agreement dated as of February 28, 2006, and that certain Seventh
Amendment to Loan Agreement of even date herewith (collectively, the “Agreement”),
and acknowledging that Bank would not enter into the Agreement without the
benefit of this Third Amended and Restated Guaranty (the “Guaranty”), the
undersigned guarantors (“Guarantors”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guaranty the prompt and complete payment of all amounts that Borrower owes to
Bank and performance by Borrower of the Agreement and any other agreements
between Borrower and Bank, as amended from time to time (collectively referred
to as the “Agreements”), in strict accordance with their respective terms.  All terms used without definition in this
Guaranty shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement.

1.                                       If
Borrower does not pay any amount or perform its obligations in strict
accordance with the Agreements, Guarantors shall immediately pay all amounts
due thereunder (including, without limitation, all principal, interest, and
fees) and otherwise to proceed to complete the same and satisfy all of Borrower’s
obligations under the Agreements; provided that Guarantors’ aggregate
liability hereunder shall be limited to the maximum principal amount of Twelve
Million Dollars ($12,000,000), plus all amounts incurred in enforcement of this
Guaranty.

2.                                       If
there is more than one guarantor, the obligations hereunder are joint and
several, and whether or not there is more than one guarantor, the obligations
hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and any other person
or entity, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted
against each Guarantor whether action is brought against Borrower or whether
Borrower be joined in any such action or actions.  Each Guarantor waives the benefit of any
statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement
thereof, to the extent permitted by law. 
Each Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is not conditioned or
contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Agreements.

3.                                       Each
Guarantor authorizes Bank, without notice or demand and without affecting its
liability hereunder, but subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 1
above, from time to time to (a) renew, extend, or otherwise change the terms of
the Agreements or any part thereof; (b) take and hold security for the payment
of this Guaranty or the Agreements, and exchange, enforce, waive and release
any such security; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner
of sale thereof as Bank in its sole discretion may determine.

4.                                       Each
Guarantor waives any right to require Bank to (a) proceed against Borrower, any
other guarantor or any other person; (b) proceed against or exhaust any
security held from Borrower; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Bank’s power
whatsoever.  Bank may, at its election,
exercise or decline or fail to exercise any right or remedy it may have against
Borrower or any security held by Bank, including without limitation the right
to foreclose upon any such security by judicial or nonjudicial sale, without
affecting or impairing in any way the liability of either Guarantor
hereunder.  Each Guarantor waives any
defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or by
reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower
(other than indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations).  Each Guarantor waives any setoff, defense or
counterclaim that Borrower may have against Bank (other than the defense that
all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full).  Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out
of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation
or any other rights against Borrower. 
Until all of the amounts that Borrower owes to Bank under the Agreements
have been paid in full, each Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or
reimbursement, contribution or other rights against Borrower, and until such
time, each Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy that Bank now has
or may hereafter have against Borrower. 
Each Guarantor waives all

presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance,
protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of
this Guaranty and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional
indebtedness.  Each Guarantor assumes the
responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition
of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment
of any indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower, warrants
to Bank that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent a request for
particular information by a Guarantor, Bank shall not have any duty to advise
such Guarantor of information known to Bank regarding such condition or any
such circumstances.  Each Guarantor
waives the benefits of California Civil Code sections 2799, 2808, 2809,
2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2922, 2838, 2839, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850,
2899 and 3433.

5.                                       Guarantors
acknowledges that, to the extent Guarantors have or may have certain rights of
subrogation or reimbursement against Borrower for claims arising out of this
Guaranty, those rights may be impaired or destroyed if Bank elects to proceed
against any real property security of Borrower by non-judicial
foreclosure.  That impairment or
destruction could, under certain judicial cases and based on equitable
principles of estoppel, give rise to a defense by a Guarantor against its
obligations under this Guaranty.  Each
Guarantor waives that defense and any others arising from Bank’s election to
pursue non-judicial foreclosure.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor waives any and all
benefits and defenses under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a,
580b, 580d and 726, to the extent they are applicable.

6.                                       If
Borrower becomes insolvent or is adjudicated bankrupt or files a petition for
reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or
future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or if such a petition is
filed against Borrower, and in any such proceeding some or all of any
indebtedness or obligations under the Agreements are terminated or rejected or
any obligation of Borrower is modified or abrogated, or if Borrower’s
obligations are otherwise avoided for any reason, each Guarantor agrees that such
Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and
such liability shall continue in full force and effect as if no such action or
proceeding had occurred.  This Guaranty
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any
payment must be returned by Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor, or otherwise,
as though such payment had not been made.

7.                                       Any
indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter held by either Guarantor is hereby
subordinated to any indebtedness of Borrower to Bank; and such indebtedness of
Borrower to such Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such
Guarantor as trustee for Bank and be paid over to Bank on account of the
indebtedness of Borrower to Bank but without reducing or affecting in any
manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this
Guaranty.

8.                                       Each
Guarantor agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses
which may be incurred by Bank in the enforcement of this Guaranty.  No terms or provisions of this Guaranty may
be changed, waived, revoked or amended without Bank’s prior written
consent.  Should any provision of this
Guaranty be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable, all of the other provisions shall remain effective.  This Guaranty, together with any agreements
(including without limitation any security agreements or any pledge agreements)
executed in connection with this Guaranty, embodies the entire agreement among
the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein, and supersedes
all prior agreements among the parties with respect to the matters set forth
herein.  No course of prior dealing among
the parties, no usage of trade, and no parol or extrinsic evidence of any
nature shall be used to supplement, modify or vary any of the terms
hereof.  There are no conditions to the
full effectiveness of this Guaranty. 
Bank may assign this Guaranty without in any way affecting any Guarantor’s
liability under it.  This Guaranty shall
inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns.  This Guaranty is in addition to the
guaranties of any other guarantors and any and all other guaranties of Borrower’s
indebtedness or liabilities to Bank.

9.                                       Each
Guarantor represents and warrants to Bank that (i) such Guarantor has taken all
necessary and appropriate action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Guaranty, (ii) execution, delivery and performance of this
Guaranty do not conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default
under such Guarantor’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other
organizational documents or agreements to which it is party or by which it is
bound, and (iii) this Guaranty constitutes a valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,

insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other laws applicable
to creditors’ rights generally and by generally applicable equitable principles
whether considered in an action at law or in equity.

10.                                 Each
Guarantor covenants and agrees that such Guarantor shall do all of the
following:

10.1         Guarantor
shall maintain its corporate existence, remain in good standing in the state of
its incorporation, and continue to qualify in each jurisdiction in which the
failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, operations or business of Guarantor.  Guarantor shall maintain in force all
licenses, approvals and agreements, the loss of which could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition,
operations or business.

10.2                           Guarantor
shall comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances, directives, orders, and
government rules and regulations to which it is subject if non-compliance with
such laws could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the financial
condition, operations or business of Guarantor.

10.3                           At
any time and from time to time Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further
instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Bank
to effect the purposes of this Guaranty.

10.4                           Guarantor
shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any shares of
capital stock or other equity interest Guarantor may now have or hereafter
acquire in Borrower.

11.                                 This
Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without
regard to conflicts of laws principles. 
Jurisdiction shall lie in the State of California.  UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT)
WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE
MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES.

12.                                 REFERENCE
PROVISION.

12.1                           In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth
above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial
Reference Provision.

12.2                           With the exception of the items specified in
Section 12.3 below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between
the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document,
instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this
Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in
California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 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 in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding
will be in the Superior Court in the County where the real property involved in
the action, if any, is located or in a County where venue is otherwise
appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

12.3                           The matters that shall not be subject to a
reference are the following: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security
interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of selfhelp remedies
(including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and
(iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without
limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining
orders or preliminary injunctions). This Agreement does not limit the right of
any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in
clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent
jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise
of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party
to a reference pursuant to this Agreement.

12.4                           The referee shall be a retired Judge or
Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do
not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party,
then, upon request of any party, 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.

12.5                           The parties agree that time is of the essence
in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be
requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good
cause shown, 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 one hundred twenty (120) 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.

12.6                           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 based upon good cause shown, 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.

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

12.8                           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, enter equitable orders that will be binding
on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court
proceeding, 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.  Pursuant to
CCP § 644, such 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 and any
such decision will be final, binding and conclusive.  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.

12.9                           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.

12.10                     THE PARTIES
RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER
THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER
CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS
OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL
BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY
CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY
WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Guarantors have
executed this Amended and Restated Guaranty as of January 17, 2007.
