			EXHIBIT 10.9

		

		
			
		

		
			Management Incentive Plan
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE I
		

		
			OBJECTIVE OF THE PLAN
		

		
			 
		

		
			The purpose of the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) is to attract, retain and motivate key employees by providing incentive awards to designated executive, managerial and professional employees of C&F Financial Corporation (“Company”) and its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The MIP is designed to link key employee interests more closely with the interests of the Company’s shareholders and to create value for the Company by maximizing achievement of corporate, business unit and individual performance goals, consistent with the Company’s risk management philosophy and safety and soundness goals.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Each Participant’s award under this MIP will take into account corporate performance as well as, where appropriate, his or her own business unit’s performance. Awards under the MIP may also reflect individual performance.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE II
		

		
			PLAN ADMINISTRATION
		

		
			 
		

		
			The MIP will be administered by the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) which will have the power and authority to interpret the MIP, select employees to participate in the MIP, establish target awards and performance objectives under the MIP, and establish guidelines for determining individual awards and rules for the operation and administration of the MIP.  Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Article V below, the Committee will also have the power and authority to adjust upward or downward any target award earned, at its discretion, in light of such considerations as the Committee may deem relevant (but subject to applicable limitations of the Company’s 2013 Stock and Incentive Stock Plan with respect to Equity Based Awards).
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as expressly otherwise provided herein in the case of Named Executive Officers, which include the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Credit Officer of C&F Bank, the President of C&F Finance Company and the Chief Executive Officer of C&F Mortgage Company, or as prohibited by any national securities exchange or system on which the Company’s stock is then listed or reported, by any regulatory body having jurisdiction with respect thereto or under any other applicable laws, rules or regulations, the Committee may delegate one or more of its powers or responsibilities under the MIP to one or more of its members and/or to one or more of the officers of the Company.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Chief Executive Officer’s incentive awards (whether cash or in the form of equity awards) will be determined solely by the Committee, taking into account the overall Company performance relative to the established business plan (“Corporate Goal”)and the Chief Executive Officer shall not be present during such deliberations or voting.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The MIP is an annual plan, is first effective January 1, 2005 and shall remain in effect until amended or terminated by the Board of Directors.  A new plan year shall commence on the first business day of each fiscal year of the Company.  The Committee shall review the MIP annually and recommend any amendments or revisions thereto which it deems appropriate or desirable, for approval by the Board of Directors.
		

		
			

		 

 

		

			 

		

 
		

		
			ARTICLE III
		

		
			PARTICIPANTS
		

		
			 
		

		
			Persons who may participate in the MIP are limited to key employees of the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries who are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Committee (“Participants”). 
		

		
			 
		

		
			To be eligible for the MIP in any particular year, key employees must be employees of the Company or a subsidiary as of January 1st of that plan year.  In addition, employees who are either hired as key employees or are promoted and become key employees after the beginning of a plan year may be designated as Participants for the plan year and assigned a prorated target at the Committee’s discretion.
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE IV
		

		
			PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
		

		
			 
		

		
			In connection with the administration of the MIP, the Committee shall establish:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)MIP performance objectives for the Company and any subsidiary (“Corporate Goals”), and appropriate business units of the Company (“Business Unit Goals”) and individuals (“Individual Goals”) based upon such criteria as may be agreed upon by the Committee, and 
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)The award formula or matrix by which all incentive awards under the MIP shall be calculated.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as provided herein in the case of Named Executive Officers, the selection of such performance objective(s) and the award formula or matrix may vary on a Participant by Participant basis.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Prior to or within the first 90 days of each plan year after 2005, the Committee shall review the previously established Corporate Goals, Business Unit Goals and Individual Goals and make any changes to such performance objectives as it deems appropriate for the new plan year. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE V
		

		
			AWARDS
		

		
			 
		

		
			The MIP provides for cash incentive awards (“Cash Awards”) and/or equity incentive awards (“Equity Based Awards”).  Except as provided herein in the case of Named Executive Officers, target awards may be weighted between Corporate, Business Unit and Individual Goals on such basis as the Committee determines and the weighting may vary on a Participant by Participant basis.  Separate performance objectives and award formulas or matrixes may be established for Cash Awards and Equity Based Awards.  Cash Awards shall be settled in cash.  Equity Based Awards shall be settled in cash and/or Company stock as determined by the Committee.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Each Participant shall be assigned a Cash Award target, which shall be paid or provided if the Participant achieves his or her Cash Award targeted performance goal(s).  All cash incentive awards made to the President of C&F Mortgage Corporation (“C&F Mortgage”) shall be made pursuant to such President’s Employment Agreement, as in effect from time to time, with C&F Mortgage or the Company, and not pursuant to this MIP, for any year for which such Employment Agreement provides for an annual incentive arrangement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

		

			2

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the Cash Award targets for a plan year for the Chief Executive Officer and the President will be based solely on achievement of the Corporate Goal, and the Corporate Goal for the Cash Awards is based on the Company’s return on equity (“ROE”) and return on assets (“ROA”) for the plan year for which the Cash Award is made compared to a peer group of banks selected by the Committee.  If 100% of the Cash Award Corporate Goal is achieved for a plan year, the Chief Executive Officer and the President will earn a Cash Award equal to his or her individual Cash Target Award designated by the Committee.  If greater than or less than 100% (but at least the Minimum Award Level designated by the Committee) of the Cash Award Corporate Goal is achieved for a plan year, the Chief Executive Officer and the President will earn a Cash Award equal to more or less than 100% of his or her individual Cash Target Award (but in no event more than the Maximum Award Percentage designated by the Committee) based on an Award Matrix designated by the Committee.  Any award earned may be adjusted by the Committee, at  its discretion, based on asset quality (loans) measures of the Company or any other measurement deemed relevant.  The measures are listed in the Cash Award Targets and Goals which are set pursuant to Article IV of this document.    
		

		
			 
		

		
			Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the Cash Award target for a plan year for the President of C&F Finance Company will be based on the ROA of C&F Finance Company.  Any award earned may be adjusted by the Committee, at its discretion, based on asset quality measures of C&F Finance Company and any other measurement deemed relevant.  The measures are listed in the Cash Award Targets and Goals which are set pursuant to Article IV of this document.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the Cash Award target for a plan year for the Chief Credit Officer of C&F Bank will be based on the net income of C&F Bank and specific C&F Bank-related goals including asset quality and any other measurement goals deemed relevant, all of which are established by the Committee based on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.  Any award earned may be adjusted by the Committee, at  its discretion, based on measurements deemed relevant.  The measures are listed in the Cash Award Targets and Goals which are set pursuant to Article IV of this document.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			As mentioned above,  all cash incentive awards made to the President of C&F Mortgage shall be made pursuant to such President’s Employment Agreement, as in effect from time to time, with C&F Mortgage or the Company, and not pursuant to this MIP, for any year for which such Employment Agreement provides for an annual incentive arrangement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Participants may also be awarded Equity Based Awards consisting of restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights or other stock equivalent awards under the MIP if the Participant achieves his or her Equity Based Award targeted performance goal(s). If 100% or more of the Equity Based Award Corporate Goal is achieved for a plan year, the Chief Executive Officer and the President  will earn an Equity Based Award equal to his or her individual Equity Based Target Award designated by the Committee.  If achievement is more or less than the Equity Based Award Corporate Goal, the Equity Based Award will be adjusted pursuant to a scaled payout formula determined by the Committee and described in the Cash Award Targets and Goals which are set pursuant to Article IV of this document.  All Equity Based Awards granted under the MIP which are payable in or entail the issuance of Company stock will be awarded pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan unless the Committee specifically determines otherwise (“Stock Plan”).
		

		
			 
		

		
			Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, Equity Based Awards for a plan year for the Chief Executive Officer and the President, will be based on the achievement of the Corporate Goal, and the Corporate Goal for the Equity Based Awards for these Named Executive Officers is based on 5‐year total shareholder return of the Company compared to that of a peer group index designated by the Committee.  The Committee will determine the appropriate valuation methodology for determining the fair market value of such equity award on the date of grant.  Any award earned may be adjusted by the Committee, at  its discretion. For all other Named Executive Officers, Equity Based Awards for a plan year will be determined by the Committee based on a recommendation from the Chief Executive Officer.

The Cash Award targets and Equity Based Award targets for all Participants other than the Named Executive Officers shall be determined by the Chief Executive Officer based on the applicable Corporate Goals, Business Unit Goals or Individual Goals or any combination thereof.  The Business Unit Goals and Individual Goals shall be established by the Chief Executive Officer based on specific business unit and individual objectives annually.  These include but are not limited to net income, loan and deposit growth, asset quality, margins, productivity, soundness, and customer satisfaction. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE VI
		

		
			ENTITLEMENT TO EARNED AWARDS
		

		
			 
		

		
			With respect to Cash Awards, except as provided below, no earned award shall be payable to a Participant unless that Participant is an employee of the Company and/or any subsidiary from January 1st of that plan year (or if later, the date he or she is designated as a Participant for that plan year) either through the last day of that plan year or, if so provided by the Committee prior to the end of the plan year to which the award relates, through the date the award for that plan year is paid (the “Vesting Date”).  
		

		
			 
		

		
			With respect to Equity Based Awards, no grant evidencing the Equity Based Award will be granted unless the Participant is employed by the Company or any subsidiary on the date of grant.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			In the event of a Participant’s death, total and permanent disability, retirement or involuntary termination without cause during a plan year, earned awards shall be calculated for that plan year and then pro-rated by multiplying the earned annual award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months, including the month in which the terminating event occurred, in the plan year preceding the terminating event and the denominator of which is twelve.  In such event, payout will occur at the same time all other earned and vested award payments are made for that plan year.  Otherwise, a Participant who is not employed by the Company or a subsidiary for any other reason on the Vesting Date for a plan year shall forfeit his or her award for that plan year unless otherwise determined by the Committee. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE VII
		

		
			PAYMENT OR PROVISION OF EARNED AND VESTED AWARDS
		

		
			 
		

		
			Earned and vested Cash Awards shall be paid as soon as practicable following the end of the plan year, however, in no event shall such awards be paid later than March 15th following the end of the plan year, allowing the Company adequate time to formally analyze its financial results according to the regulations and procedures of a public company.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Earned Equity Based Awards shall be evidenced by an equity compensation grant under the Stock Plan made at such times as may be determined by the Committee, but in no event later than March 15th following the end of each plan year.  Such grants may entail such further service based and/or performance based vesting as the Committee may determine.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE VIII
		

		
			NO ENTITLEMENT TO BONUS
		

		
			 
		

		
			Participants are entitled to a distribution under the MIP only upon the determination by the Committee that the award is earned, vested and payable, and no Participant shall be entitled to an award under the MIP unless the 

		 

		

			4

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

award is subject to the attainment of performance objectives defined under the MIP, and such award may be adjusted by the Committee at its discretion.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE IX
		

		
			CLAWBACK
		

		
			 
		

		
			All Cash Awards and Equity Based Awards granted under the MIP (whether vested or unvested) shall be subject to the terms of the Company’s recoupment, clawback or similar policy as such may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of Cash Awards and Equity Based Awards (including any value received from a disposition of the stock acquired upon payment of the Equity Based Awards).
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE X
		

		
			AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Board of Directors reserves the right to amend or terminate the MIP at any time, based on the recommendation of the Committee.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			In the event the MIP is amended by the Board of Directors more than 90 days after the beginning of a plan year in a manner which could reduce the award payable to a Participant for that plan year, the Participant shall continue to be eligible for incentive awards, if earned, for the plan year in which the amendment of the MIP occurs, with incentive awards being prorated as of the date of the MIP amendment based on the old and new provision of the MIP, unless otherwise agreed by the Participant.
		

		
			 
		

		
			In the event the MIP is terminated by the Board of Directors, unless otherwise agreed by a Participant, Participants shall continue to be eligible for incentive awards, if earned, for the plan year in which the termination of the MIP occurs, with incentive awards being prorated as of the date of the MIP termination. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE XI
		

		
			NO RIGHT OF ASSIGNABILITY
		

		
			 
		

		
			Participant awards shall not be subject to assignment, pledge or other disposition, nor shall such amounts be subject to garnishment, attachment, transfer by operation of law, or any legal process.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Nothing contained in the MIP shall confer upon employees any right to continued employment, nor interfere with the right of the Company to terminate a MIP Participant’s employment with the Company or any subsidiary.  Participation in the MIP does not confer rights to participation in other Company programs, including non-qualified retirement or deferred compensation plans or other executive perquisite programs. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			The MIP is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation.  With respect to any award as to which a Participant has an earned and vested interest but which is not yet paid to the Participant, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

ARTICLE XII
		

		
			GOVERNING LAW
		

		
			 
		

		
			The MIP shall be governed, construed, and administered in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
		

		
			 
		

		
			In the event any provision of the MIP shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the MIP.
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			As amended by the Board of Directors on December 15, 2015.

Creditor and Bank may terminate such arrangements at any time, in accordance with their agreements with Borrower.
		

		
			 
		

		
			7.Option to Purchase.  Bank hereby grants Creditor an option to purchase all Bank Debt and all security and collateral therefor and all guarantees thereof for a purchase price (“Purchase Price”) equal to the total unpaid principal balance of the Bank Debt, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection therewith.  This option may be exercised by Creditor at any time by giving written notice thereof to Bank.  Within five business days after written notice of the exercise of this option is given, Creditor shall pay Bank the Purchase Price in immediately available funds, and Bank shall execute assignments of the Bank Debt and all documents and instruments relating thereto, in such form as Creditor shall reasonably request, but without recourse, warranty or representation of any kind on the part of Bank, except a warranty as to (i) the unpaid balance of the Bank Debt, (ii) that Bank has good title to the Bank Debt, free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances created or authorized by Bank and (iii) that Bank has the right to assign the Bank Debt, and that such assignment is duly authorized.  To the extent any Bank Services (as defined 
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			7

		

 

in the Bank Loan Agreement), including, without limitation, letters of credit and cash management services, are not assigned to Creditor, such Bank Services shall be cash collateralized by Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its discretion. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			8.Insurance.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Secured Party having a senior security interest or lien in the Collateral shall, subject to such Secured Party’s rights under its agreements with Borrower, have the sole and exclusive right (but not the obligation), as against the other Secured Party, to adjust settlement of any insurance policy in the event of any loss affecting such Collateral.  All proceeds of such policy shall be applied by the Secured Party having the senior security interest as set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.Bankruptcy.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)       In the event of Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, including, without limitation, any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar statutory or common law proceeding or arrangement involving Borrower, the readjustment of its liabilities, any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or any marshalling of its assets or liabilities (each, an “Insolvency Proceeding”), (a) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (b) each Secured Party’s Collateral shall include, without limitation, all Collateral arising during or after any such Insolvency Proceeding, and (c) all payments and distributions of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities, in respect of the Secured Parties’ Claims shall be distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof.

			(c)       In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, if an Insolvency Proceeding occurs:  (i) neither Secured Party shall assert or approve, without the prior written consent of the other Secured Party, any claim, motion, objection or argument in respect of the Collateral in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding which could otherwise be asserted or raised in connection with such Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, any claim, motion, objection or argument seeking adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay in respect of the Collateral, which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) Bank may consent to the use of cash collateral on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as it shall in good faith determine without seeking or obtaining the consent of Creditor as (if applicable) holder of an interest in the Collateral and, if use of cash collateral by Borrower is consented to by Bank, Creditor shall not oppose such use of cash collateral on the basis that Creditor’s interest in the Collateral (if any) is impaired by such use or inadequately protected by such use, so long as (x) Creditor retains a lien on such Collateral (including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding) with the same priority as existed prior to the 
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			8

		

 

commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code and (y) Creditor receives a replacement lien on post-petition assets to the same extent granted to Bank, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) Creditor shall not object to, or oppose, any sale or other disposition of any assets comprising all or part of the Bank Priority Collateral, free and clear of security interests, liens and claims of any party, including Creditor, under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, on the basis that the interest of Creditor in the Collateral (if any) is impaired by such sale or inadequately protected as a result of such sale, or on any other ground, if Bank has consented to, or supports, such sale or disposition of such assets, provided that to the extent the Proceeds of Collection of such Collateral are not applied to reduce the Bank Debt, Creditor shall retain a lien on such Proceeds of Collection in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (iv) Bank shall not object to, or oppose, any sale or other disposition of any assets comprising all or part of the Creditor Priority Collateral, free and clear of security interests, liens and claims of any party, including Bank, under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, on the basis that the interest of Bank in the Collateral (if any) is impaired by such sale or inadequately protected as a result of such sale, or on any other ground, if Creditor has consented to, or supports, such sale or disposition of such assets, provided that to the extent the Proceeds of Collection of such Collateral are not applied to reduce the Creditor Debt, Bank shall retain a lien on such Proceeds of Collection in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)       Nothing in this Section 9 shall preclude any Secured Party from seeking to be the purchaser, assignee or other transferee of any Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral under the Bankruptcy Code.  Bank agrees that Creditor shall have the right to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Bank Priority Collateral, and Creditor agrees that Bank shall have the right to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Bank Priority Collateral.
		

		
			 
		

		
			10.Notice of Events of Default.  Each Secured Party shall give the other Secured Party prompt written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default under its Loan Documents, and shall, simultaneously with giving any notice of default to Borrower, provide such other Secured Party with a copy of any notice of default given to Borrower.  Neither Secured Party will incur liability for negligently or inadvertently failing to provide such notice to the other Secured Party.  Creditor acknowledges and agrees that any default or event of default under the Creditor Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a default and an event of default under the Bank Loan Documents.
		

		
			 
		

		
			11.Revivor.  If, after payment of any Bank Debt, Borrower thereafter becomes liable to Bank on account of the Bank Debt, or any payment made on the Bank Debt shall for any reason be required to be returned or refunded by Bank, this Agreement shall thereupon in all respects become effective with respect to such subsequent or reinstated Bank Debt, without the necessity of any further act or agreement between Secured Parties.  If, after payment of any Creditor Debt, Borrower thereafter becomes liable to Creditor on account of the Creditor Debt, or any payment made on the Creditor Debt shall for any reason be required to be returned or refunded by Creditor, this Agreement shall thereupon in all respects become effective with respect to such subsequent or reinstated Creditor Debt, without the necessity of any further act or agreement between Secured Parties.

			13.Relationship Of Parties.  The relationship between the Secured Parties is, and at all times shall remain solely that of lenders.  Secured Parties shall not under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of one another; nor shall the Secured Parties under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with one another, or to owe any fiduciary duty to one another.  Secured Parties do not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to one another to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform each other of any matter in connection with Borrower’s property, any Collateral held by any Secured Party or the operations of Borrower.  Each Secured Party shall rely entirely on its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any

review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by any Secured Party in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of such Secured Party.
		

		
			 
		

		
			14.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial Waiver.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.  Creditor and Bank submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California in any action, suit, or proceeding of any kind, against it which arises out of or by reason of this Agreement.  CREDITOR AND BANK 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 TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.
		

		
			 
		

		
			15.Judicial Reference.  WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court.  The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive.  The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers.  All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed.  If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief.  The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings.  The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings.  The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge.  The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a).  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies.  The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
		

		
			 
		

		
			16.General.  Each Secured Party shall execute all such documents and instruments and take all such actions as the other shall reasonably request in order to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation (if requested by a Secured Party) appropriate 
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			11

		

 

amendments to financing statements in favor of the other Secured Party in order to refer to this Agreement (but this Agreement shall remain fully effective notwithstanding any failure to execute any additional documents, instruments, or amendments).  Each Secured Party represents and warrants to the other that it has not heretofore transferred or assigned any financing statement naming Borrower as debtor and it as secured party, and that it will not do so without first delivering a copy of this Agreement to the proposed transferee or assignee, and any transfer or assignment shall be subject to all of the terms of this Agreement.  This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Secured Parties and their successors and assigns, and neither the Borrower nor any other person (including any successor-in-interest) shall have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or because of the existence of, this Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth in full the terms of agreement between the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified or amended, nor may any rights hereunder be waived, except in a writing signed by the Secured Parties.  In the event of any litigation between the parties based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) from the non-prevailing party.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute the same instrument.    
		

		
			 
		

		
			17.Limited Agency for Perfection.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)Bank acknowledges that applicable provisions of the UCC may require, in order to properly perfect Creditor’s security interest in the Common Collateral securing the Creditor Claims, that Creditor possess or control certain of such Common Collateral.  In order to help ensure that Creditor’s security interest in such Common Collateral is properly perfected (but subject to and without waiving the other provisions of this Agreement), Bank agrees to hold both for itself and, solely for the purposes of perfection and without incurring any duties or obligations to Creditor as a result thereof or with respect thereto, for the benefit of Creditor, any such Common Collateral, and agrees that Creditor’s lien in such Common Collateral shall be deemed perfected in accordance with applicable law.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)Creditor acknowledges that applicable provisions of the UCC may require, in order to properly perfect Bank’s security interest in the Common Collateral securing the Bank Claims, that Bank possess or control certain of such Common Collateral.  In order to help ensure that Bank’s security interest in such Common Collateral is properly perfected (but subject to and without waiving the other provisions of this Agreement), Creditor agrees to hold both for itself and, solely for the purposes of perfection and without incurring any additional duties or obligations to Bank as a result thereof or with respect thereto, for the benefit of Bank, any such Common Collateral, and agrees that Bank’s lien in such Common Collateral shall be deemed perfected in accordance with applicable law.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)No party shall have, or be deemed to have, by this Agreement or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other party.
