Mandatory Procedures The parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved solely by means of the procedures set forth in this Article, and that such procedures constitute legally binding obligations that are an essential provision of this Agreement. If either party fails to observe the procedures of this Article, as may be modified by their written agreement, the other party may bring an action for specific performance of these procedures in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(Cal. Code Regs., tit.17, §§ 94509–94515.)

REQUIRED REGULATORY PROVISIONS (a) If Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) (12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(3)) or 8(g)(1) (12 U.S.C. §1818(g)(1)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”), as amended by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion (i) pay Executive all or part of the Base Salary or other compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended. (b) If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) (12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(4)) or 8(g)(1) (12 U.S.C. §1818(g)(1)) of the FDIA, all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected. (c) If the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) (12 U.S.C. §1813(x)(1)) of the FDIA, all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties. (d) All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the continued operation of the Bank, (i) by the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) or a designee, at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) (12 U.S.C. §1823(c)) of the FDIA; or (ii) by the Director of OTS or a designee at the time the Director of OTS or a designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operations of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director of OTS or a designee to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action. (e) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, any payments to Executive by the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the FDIA, 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k), and the regulations promulgated thereunder in 12 C.F.R. Part 359, Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments. (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payments to or for the benefit of Executive hereunder shall not exceed three times Executive’s annual average compensation for the five most recent taxable years, within the meaning of Section 310 of the Office of Thrift Supervision Examination Handbook. (g) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to have been terminated unless and until Executive has a Separation from Service within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Separation from Service” shall have occurred if the Bank and Executive reasonably anticipate that either no further services will be performed by Executive after the Date of Termination (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) or the level of further services performed is less than 50% of the average level of bona fide services in the thirty-six (36) months immediately preceding the termination. For all purposes hereunder, the definition of Separation from Service shall be interpreted consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(ii). (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Executive is a Specified Employee (as defined herein), then, solely, to the extent required to avoid penalties under Code Section 409A, the Executive’s payments shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s Separation from Service. A “Specified Employee” shall be interpreted to comply with Code Section 409A and shall mean a key employee within the meaning of Code Section 416(i) (without regard to paragraph 5 thereof), but an individual shall be a “Specified Employee” only if the Bank or Company is or becomes a publicly traded company.
Mandatory Reduction of Commitments (a) The Total Commitment (and the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, the Tranche C Term Loan Commitment and the Credit-Linked Commitment of each Lender with such a Commitment) shall terminate in its entirety on April 12, 2006, unless the Restatement Effective Date has occurred on or before such date. In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitment (and the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of each Lender with such a Commitment) shall terminate in its entirety on the Restatement Effective Date (after giving effect to the making of Tranche B Term Loans on such date).

At the time of any termination or reduction of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment pursuant to Section 2A.04(c), Section 2B.04(c), this Section 3.03 or Section 10, the actions required by Section 2C.04(a) shall be taken. Each reduction to, or termination of, the Total Credit-Linked Commitment shall be applied to proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the Credit-Linked Commitment of each CL Lender (in accordance with their respective CL Percentages). (d) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment under a given Tranche shall (i) be permanently reduced on each Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date in respect of such Tranche in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche incurred on each such date, (ii) terminate in its entirety (to the extent not theretofore terminated) on the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Termination Date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (after giving effect to any Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche to be made on such date) and (iii) prior to the termination of the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment in respect of such Tranche, be permanently reduced from time to time to the extent required by Section 4.02. (e) Each reduction to the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, the Total Tranche C Term Loan Commitment, the Total Credit-Linked Commitment and the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment under a given Tranche pursuant to this Section 3.03 as provided above (or pursuant to Section 4.02) shall be applied proportionately to reduce the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, the Tranche C Term Loan Commitment, the Total Credit-Linked Commitment or the Incremental Term Loan Commitment under such Tranche, as the case may be, of each Lender with such a Commitment. (f) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, on the Restatement Effective Date (and concurrently with the occurrence thereof) the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement), the Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) of each Original Lender, the Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) and the Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) of each Original Lender, shall all be terminated in their entirety.
