<br />parties, makers and endorsers to the Note, including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by
<br />Lender in writing. Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers, shall not be released by virtue of this
<br />Modification. If any person who signed the original Deed of Trust does not sign this Modification, then all persons
<br />signing below acknowledge that this Modification is given conditionally, based on the representation to Lender that the
<br />non - signing person consents to the changes and provisions of this Modification or otherwise will not be released by it.
<br />This waiver applies not only to any initial extension or modification, but also to all such subsequent actions.
<br />FACSIMILE AND COUNTERPART. This document may be signed in any number of separate copies, each of which shall
<br />be effective as an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute a single document. An electronic
<br />transmission or other facsimile of this document or any related document shall be deemed an original and shall be
<br />admissible as evidence of the document and the signer's execution.
<br />ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. Arbitration - Binding Arbitration, Lender and each party to this agreement hereby agree,
<br />upon demand by any party, to submit any Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration
<br />Program. Arbitration may be demanded before the institution of a judicial proceeding, or during a judicial proceeding,
<br />but not more than 60 days after service of a complaint, third party complaint, cross - claim, or any answer thereto, or
<br />any amendment to any of such pleadings. A "Dispute" shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind,
<br />whether in contract or in tort, legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter arising, relating in any way to any aspect of
<br />this agreement, or any related note, instrument or agreement incorporating this Arbitration Program (the "Documents "),
<br />or any renewal, extension, modification or refinancing of any indebtedness or obligation relating thereto, including
<br />without limitation, their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension,
<br />substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination, or any request for additional credit. This
<br />provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into the transactions relating to this Agreement. In the event
<br />of a court ordered arbitration, the party requesting arbitration shall be responsible for timely filing the demand for
<br />arbitration and paying the appropriate filing fee within 30 days of the abatement order or the time specified by the
<br />court; the party's failure to do so shall result in that party's right to demand arbitration being automatically terminated
<br />with respect to such Dispute. DISPUTES SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION ARE NOT RESOLVED IN COURT BY A JUDGE
<br />OR JURY. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND VOLUNTARILY
<br />WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE ARBITRATED
<br />PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROGRAM.
<br />A. Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United
<br />States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and
<br />(ii) be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ( "AAA "), or such other administrator as the parties shall
<br />mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA's commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or
<br />counterdaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of daimed interest, arbitration fees and costs, in which case the
<br />arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA's optional procedures for large, complex commercial
<br />disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial
<br />disputes are referred to herein, as applicable, as the "Rules "). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof
<br />and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be
<br />conducted at a location mutually agreeable to the parties, or if they cannot agree, then at a location selected by the
<br />AAA in the state of the applicable substantive law primarily governing the Note. Any party who fails or refuses to
<br />submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other
<br />party in compelling arbitration of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration
<br />proceeding.
<br />D. No Waiver of Provisional Remedies. Self -Help and Foreclosure, The arbitration requirement does not limit the right
<br />of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self -help remedies relating to
<br />collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as
<br />replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any
<br />arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any
<br />Dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in
<br />sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.
<br />C. Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers, Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is
<br />$5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render
<br />an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00
<br />shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must
<br />actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. Every arbitrator shall be a neutral practicing attorney or a retired
<br />member of the state or federal judiciary, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law
<br />applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and
<br />will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will
<br />decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator's discretion) any pre- hearing motions which are similar to
<br />motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all
<br />Disputes in accordance with the applicable substantive law and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such
<br />state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award.
<br />The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such
<br />other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil
<br />Procedure, the applicable state rules of civil procedure, or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by
