(b) Consent to Judicial Reference. If and to the extent that Paragraph 8(a) immediately above is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or is otherwise not applied by any such court, each of the parties to this Note hereby consents and agrees that (i) any and all Disputes shall be heard by a referee in accordance with the general reference provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, sitting without a jury in the City and County of San Diego, California, (ii) such referee shall hear and determine all of the issues in any Dispute (whether of fact or of law), including issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8, including without limitation, entering restraining orders, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing temporary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers, and shall report a statement of decision, provided that, if during the course of any Dispute any party desires to seek such a “provisional remedy” but a referee has not been appointed, or is otherwise unavailable to hear the request for such provisional remedy, then such party may apply to the San Diego County Superior Court for such provisional relief, and (iii) pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 644, judgment may be entered upon the decision of such referee in the same manner as if the Dispute had been tried directly by a court.
