ARBITRATION PROVISION GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by the laws of the State of California except to the extent governed by federal law. This Arbitration Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16 ("FAA"). WAIVER OF 3URY TRIAL AND ARBITRATION PROVISION. Arbitration is a process in which persons with a dispute: (a) waive their rights to filea lawsuit and proceed in court and to have a jury trial to resolve their disputes; and (b) agree, instead, to submit their disputes to a neutral third person (an "arbitrator") for a decision. Each party to the dispute has an opportunity to present some evidence to the arbitrator. Pre-arbitration discovery may be limited. Arbitration proceedings are private and less formal than court trials. The arbitrator will issue a final and binding decision resolving the dispute, which may be enforced as a court judgment. A court rarely overturns an arbitrator's decision. We have a policy of arbitrating all disputes with customers which cannot be resolved in a small claims tribunal, including the scope and validity of this Arbitration Provision and any right you may have to participate in an alleged class action. THEREFORE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS: For purposes of this Waiver of usury Trial and Arbitration Provision, the words "dispute" and "disputes" are given the broadest possible meaning and include, without limitation (a) all claims, disputes, or controversies arising from or relating directly or indirectly to the signing of this Arbitration Provision, the validity and scope of this Arbitration Provision and any claim or attempt to set aside this Arbitration Provision; (b) all federal or state law claims, disputes or controversies, arising from or relating directly or indirectly to the Loan Agreement, the information you gave us before entering into this Agreement, including the customer information application, and/or any past agreement or agreements between you and us; (c) all counterclaims, cross-claims and third- party claims; (d) all common law claims, based upon contract, tort, fraud, or other intentional torts; (e) allclaims based upon a violation of any state or federal constitution, statute or regulation; (f) all claims asserted by us,against you, including claims for money damages to collect any sum we claim you owe us; (g) all claims asserted by you individually against us and/or any of our employees, agents, directors, officers, shareholders, governors, managers, members, parent company or affiliated entities (hereinafter collectively referred to as "related third parties"), including claims for money damages and/or equitable or injunctive relief; (h) allclaims asserted on your behalf by another person; (i) all claims asserted by you as a private attorney general, as a representative and member of a class of persons, or in any other representative capacity, against us and/or related third parties (hereinafter referred to as "Representative Claims" ); and/or (j) all claims arising from or relating directly or indirectly to the disclosure by us or related third parties of any non-public personal information about you. 1. You acknowledge and agree that by entering into this Arbitration Provision: (a) YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY 3URY TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ALLEGED AGAINST US OR RELATED THIRD PARTXES; (b) YOU ARE GXVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A COURT, OTHER THAN A SMALL CLAIMS TRIBUNAL, RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ALLEGED AGAXNST US OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES; and (c) YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATXVE CAPACITY, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAXMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST US AND/OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES. 2.

The parties may also agree to select an arbitrator who resides within your federal judicial district who is an attorney, retired judge, or arbitrator registered and in good standing with an arbitration association, and arbitrate in accordance with such arbitrator's rules. The party receiving notice of arbitration will respond in writing by certified mail return receipt requested within twenty (20) days. If you demand arbitration, you must inform us in your demand of the arbitration organization you have selected or whether you desire to select a local arbitrator.

If allowed by statute or applicable law, the arbitrator may award statutory damages and/or reasonable attorney's fees and expenses.
