Exhibit 10.3
AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of the Effective Date between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:
Recitals
     A. Borrower is engaged in the business of purchasing and servicing Borrower Member Loans (as defined herein). Upon the making of a Borrower Member Loan, Borrower purchases such Borrower Member Loan pursuant to the Loan Servicing Documents. In order to fund the making and purchase of each Borrower Member Loan, Borrower issues and sells to Lender Members, and such Lender Members purchase from Borrower, debt securities issued pursuant to an indenture, each series of which corresponds to a specific Borrower Member Loan (“Borrower Securities”). The Borrower Securities are repaid by Borrower solely from the proceeds of such Borrower Member Loan and otherwise are without recourse to Borrower.
     B. Borrower and Bank entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated October 29, 2007 (as amended from time to time, the “Prior Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Prior Loan Agreement, Bank made Growth Capital Advances to Borrower in the original principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Existing Growth Capital Line”).
     C. Bank has ceased making Growth Capital Advances to Borrower pursuant to that certain Forbearance Agreement by and between Bank and Borrower dated June 6, 2008 (the “Forbearance Agreement”).
     D. Borrower is in the process of seeking approval of the SEC (as defined herein) of the registration on Form S-1 filed by Borrower with the SEC and amendments thereto (the “Registration Statement”) of certain securities to be issued to Lender Members (as defined below) in connection with designated Borrower Member Loans (as defined below) purchased by Borrower from WebBank (the “SEC Registration”). In connection with the SEC Registration, Borrower has proposed to restructure its operations as described in the Registration Statement (the “Restructuring”). Copies of the Registration Statement which have been filed as of the date of this Agreement have been provided to Bank by Borrower.
     E. Pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated June 18, 2008 among Borrower, Bank and Gold Hill, Bank has agreed in principle (subject to the terms and conditions thereof) to amend and restate the Prior Loan Agreement to accommodate changes necessary to implement the Restructuring. These changes include, among other things, (i) evidencing each Borrower Member Loan originated by WebBank and sold to Borrower by no more than two (2) promissory notes in favor of WebBank, which promissory notes are assigned by WebBank to Borrower: one being a Borrower Member Note (as defined herein) in the principal amount equal to the portion of the Eligible Loan being financed collectively by Lender Members, and the other promissory note in the principal amount equal to the portion of the Eligible Loan, if any, financed by Bank (each being, a Financed Loan Note as that term is defined herein), (ii) having Borrower issue and sell its own securities (rather than sell individual promissory notes issued by Borrower Members) to Lender Members, the payments on such securities being dependent on the repayment of the associated Borrower Member Loan held by Borrower, (iii) establishing three unencumbered

2


 

accounts to manage the funding of and the proceeds from Borrower Member Loans: (A) a “clearing account” into which all Borrower Member Loan proceeds are deposited, (B) a “trust account” into which amounts owed to Lender Members are deposited, and (C) a “borrower account” which Borrower uses to process “test” amounts for Borrower Members in connection with Borrower’s website.
     F. Borrower has requested, and Bank has agreed, that Bank (i) waive the Restructuring Defaults (as defined herein), (ii) accommodate the Restructuring, (iii) make supplemental growth capital advances available to Borrower, and (iv) replace, amend and restate the Prior Loan Agreement in its entirety.
     G. In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower hereby amends and restates the Prior Loan Agreement in its entirety and covenants, promises, agrees, represents and warrants, with and for the benefit of Bank, as follows:
     1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

     4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
     4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.
     Bank and Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary herein, (a) the Collateral shall include all amounts deposited into the

8


 

Clearing Account, to the extent that such amounts are proceeds of Financed Loans, and (b) the first priority security interest granted by Borrower to Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall at all times remain in full force and effect with respect to all proceeds of, and any other amounts received in connection with, all Financed Loans regardless of the locations of such proceeds and amounts, including, without limitation, any such proceeds and amounts deposited into the Clearing Account.
     Borrower hereby assigns, pledges, delivers, and transfers to Bank and hereby grants to Bank, a continuing first priority security interest in and against all right, title and interest of the following, whether now or hereafter existing or acquired by Borrower: (a) all Pledged CDs issued from time to time and general intangibles arising therefrom or relating thereto; and all documents, instruments and agreements evidencing the same; and all extensions, renewals, modifications and replacements of the foregoing; and any interest or other amounts payable in connection therewith; (b) all proceeds of the foregoing (including whatever is receivable or received when any Pledged CD or proceeds is invested, sold, collected, exchanged, returned, substituted or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, including rights to payment and return premiums and insurance proceeds under insurance with respect to any Pledged CD, all rights to payment with respect to any cause of action affecting or relating to any Pledged CD); and (c) all renewals, replacements and substitutions of items of any Pledged CD. The parties to this Agreement do not intend that Borrower’s delivery of any Pledged CD to Bank as herein provided will constitute an advance payment of any Obligations or liquidated damages, nor do the parties intend that any Pledged CD increase the dollar amount of the Obligations.
     If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.
     4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder.
     5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s Operating Documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect) or are being obtained pursuant to Section 6.1(b)) or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.
     5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts with Bank, the Clearing Account, the Trust Account, the Borrower Account, the Lockbox Account, the Investor Account, the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Bank notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein.

None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as Borrower has given Bank notice pursuant to Section 7.2. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its sole discretion.
     5.3 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000).

10


 

results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.
     5.5 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted.
     5.7 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.
     5.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower. Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the Governmental Authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
     5.9 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital, and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

11


 

     5.10 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

          (f) Borrower reasonably believes no Borrower Member is insolvent or subject to any Insolvency Proceedings;
          (g) The Financed Loan is not the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding and Borrower does not anticipate any filing;
          (h) Bank has the right to endorse and/ or require Borrower to endorse all Financed Loan Notes;
          (i) In facilitating Financed Loans by Borrower Members from WebBank and purchasing and servicing such Financed Loans, Borrower has complied in all material respects with all applicable federal, state and local laws, including without limitation, securities, usury, truth-in-lending, equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting, licensing or other similar laws. Borrower has made commercially reasonable efforts to authenticate the identity of each Borrower Member and to verify information provided by the Borrower Member in connection with each Financed Loan. Based on such authentication and verification, Borrower represents and warrants to the best of its knowledge that (i) each Borrower Member had full legal capacity to execute and deliver all loan documents evidencing the Financed Loan made to such Borrower Member and (ii) each loan document evidencing each Financed Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the applicable Borrower Member and is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to collect all payments and other amounts received in connection with Borrower Member Loans (“Loan Collections”); provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to collect all payments and other amounts received in connection with Borrower Member Loans which are not Financed Loans without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt by Borrower of any Loan Collections, Borrower shall immediately deposit such Loan Collections into the Clearing Account (or shall receive such payments and other amounts directly into the Clearing Account) and deliver to Bank a detailed breakdown of such Loan Collections showing the interests of Bank in such Loan Collections. Borrower shall, within four (4) days of such time as Loan Collections are deposited into the Clearing Account, distribute such Loan Collections as follows:

Provided no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall transfer all amounts deposited into the Lockbox Account from the Lockbox Account to the Operating Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt in the Lockbox Account. All Financed Loans and the proceeds thereof are Collateral and immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may without notice apply all Loan Collections from Financed Loans and other proceeds of such Financed Loans and the balance of the Lockbox Account to the Obligations. This Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to perform any act other than as specifically set forth herein.

          (c) With respect to any Loan Collections received in connection with Eligible Loans financed by the Investor Credit Facility, into the Investor Account.
          (d) With respect to any amounts received in connection with Borrower Member Loans attributable to Borrower’s service or collection charges, into the Operating Account.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.11, Borrower shall immediately upon receipt deposit amounts due to Borrower for origination fees charged by Borrower for Borrower Member Loans into the Operating Account (or shall receive such payments and other amounts directly into the Operating Account).
     6.12 Control of Financed Loans. Borrower shall electronically create and store a single authoritative copy of each Financed Loan Note which authoritative copy shall (a) identify Borrower as the assignee of such note or notes, and (b) be unique, identifiable and unalterable except to the extent that (i) copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of such authoritative copy can only be made with the participation of Borrower, (ii) each copy of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy, and (iii) any

16


 

revision of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.

     9 BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
     9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
          (a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
          (b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
          (c) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;
          (d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
          (e) apply to the Obligations (i) any balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
          (f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its

21


 

rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;
          (g) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;
          (h) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and
          (i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
     9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any (i) checks or other forms of payment or security, including without limitation, forms of payment received in connection with Financed Loans and (ii) notes or other negotiable instruments issued or assigned to Borrower in connection with Financed Loans, including without limitation, the Financed Loan Notes; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
     9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.4 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
     9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such

22


 

allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.
     9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
     9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
     9.7 Demand Waiver.

     11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE
     California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
     TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
     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

24


 

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.
