This Agreement amends and restates a Master Loan Agreement between the Parties, dated 09/23/2005, which is replaced hereby. This Agreement shall remain in effect until all Indebtedness is paid in full and the Agreement is terminated in writing by Lender.
1. MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT. On this date, and from time to time hereafter, Lender may make Loans to Borrower. Borrower and Lender (collectively, the “Parties”) enter into this Master Loan Agreement which, together with the applicable Supplement(s) and other Loan Documents, shall govern each separate Loan and all Indebtedness between the Parties. Unless stated to the contrary elsewhere, the provisions of all Loan Documents are incorporated by reference herein as if stated in full. For value received, Borrower promises to pay to order of Lender all Indebtedness governed by this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Lender to restructure or renew any unpaid balance, any part thereof, or to make any additional or future loans or financial accommodations to Borrower.
| 1.1 | SUPPLEMENTS. Loans made on and after the date of this Agreement will be evidenced by a “Promissory Note and Supplement to Master Loan Agreement” (“Supplement”). Each Supplement shall set forth the terms and conditions applicable to each Loan. All Supplements and attachments thereto, including all amendments, renewals, and restatements thereof, are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement unless the contrary is stated in any Loan Document. In any conflict of terms between this Master Loan Agreement and any Supplement, the Supplement shall control, unless the contrary is specifically stated in the Supplement. Any amendment to this Master Loan Agreement shall control all Supplements, unless the contrary is stated in the amendment. |
| 1.2 | FUTURE CREDIT ACCOMMODATIONS. Borrower may apply for future loans, renewals of unpaid balances, refinancings, reschedulings, or other credit facilities or accommodations. Each loan application Borrower submits will be evaluated for eligibility and creditworthiness at the time of its submission. Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement between Borrower and Lender shall be construed to obligate Lender to restructure or renew any unpaid balance, any part thereof, or to make any additional or future loans or financial accommodations to Borrower. |
2. DEFINED TERMS. “Indebtedness” means all Loans, advances, obligations, covenants and duties of any kind owing by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement whether now existing or hereafter arising, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, and whether or not evidenced by any writing, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and including all interest, charges, fees, attorney’s fees, expenses, and any other sum(s) chargeable to Borrower under this or any other related agreement. “Loan” or “Account” means each loan, credit facility or other obligation evidenced by any Supplement. “Agreement” means this Master Loan Agreement, including all Supplements, attachments and other agreements incorporated by reference and all amendments, modifications, and restatements thereof. “Loan Document” means this Agreement, and any Supplement, guaranty, Security Instrument, and any and all other documents or agreements executed in connection with this Agreement, any Loan or the Indebtedness, and all amendments, modifications, and restatements thereof.
| 2.1 | OTHER LOANS WITH LENDER. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in writing by Lender, in this or any other document, this Master Loan Agreement shall not supersede or govern other notes, loan agreements, loans, and obligations by Borrower to Lender not contained in Supplements hereto. Such other loans shall continue to be governed by the applicable loan documents. This Agreement shall not be construed to waive any right(s) in or to discharge any note, guaranty, security instrument or indebtedness between the Parties not subject hereto unless the same has been specifically waived or discharged in writing by Lender. |

3. SECURITY. All Indebtedness is secured by Borrower-owned stock or participation certificates required by Lender’s bylaws, any funds or accounts of Borrower held by or maintained with Lender, Lender's allocated surplus, and any other items which secure this Loan under applicable laws, regulations or Loan Documents (collectively, "Standard Security"). Loans may also be secured by other personal property and real property. Collateral may secure more than one Loan when so indicated. All liens and interests in Collateral will be evidenced by the appropriate Security Instrument granting such interest. “Collateral” means the Standard Security and all real and personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in which Lender now holds or later acquires a security interest or lien to secure this Agreement, any Loan or the Indebtedness. “Security Instrument” means any deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, assignment or other document granting Lender a lien on, or security interest in, any real or personal property as security for this Agreement, any Loan or the Indebtedness.
4. DEFAULT. A default on any Supplement or the Indebtedness is a default on this Master Loan Agreement. A default on this Master Loan Agreement or any Supplement shall, at Lender’s option, also be a default on all Supplements and all the Indebtedness. Borrower is in default on this Master Loan Agreement, including any Supplement, under any one or more of the following circumstances (individually and collectively called an “Event of Default”): (a) Borrower or any guarantor fails to pay when due any Indebtedness or amount(s) owed under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) Borrower or any guarantor is declared to be in default on this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or on any other loan or obligation of Borrower to Lender or in which Lender has an interest; (c) Borrower breaches any term, condition or representation in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document for this or any other loan by this or any other lender, including but not limited to any other Farm Credit lender; (d) Borrower's representation(s) to this or any other lender in connection with any loan are materially false or misleading; (e) Lender determines that Borrower is unable to repay as agreed the sums owed Lender under this Agreement, or Lender in good faith otherwise deems itself insecure; (f) Lender's reasonable determination that a material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of Borrower or in the value of the Collateral; (g) Borrower's death, dissolution, incapacity or termination of existence; (h) Borrower's insolvency, business failure, application for or consent to appointment of a receiver/custodian or trustee for itself or any of its assets, or an assignment to an agent authorized to liquidate any substantial amount of assets, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law by or against Borrower, or any guarantor, endorser, or surety for Borrower; (i) Any judgment, writ, levy, lien, attachment, notice of tax lien, tax lien, or similar process is entered or filed against Borrower, any guarantor or any of Borrower's or any of guarantor's properties and is not vacated, bonded, or stayed to the satisfaction of Lender; (j) An Event of Default occurs under any guaranty given to Lender in connection with this Agreement, any Supplement or the Indebtedness; or any guarantor shall purport to terminate, repudiate or contest any such guaranty; or any guarantor who is a natural person shall die; or any guarantor that is not a natural person shall be dissolved or terminated; or (k) Borrower sells, leases, conveys, alienates, or transfers, or enters into any agreement for the sale, lease, conveyance, alienation, transfer or nonuse of any water or water rights, or “Water Asset”, as such may be defined in any deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement or other agreement relating to the pledge of water or water rights.
5. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs, Lender shall have all rights, powers and remedies available under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or provided by law or equity under applicable laws, including but not limited to: the right to declare, at Lender’s option, all or any portion of the Indebtedness immediately due and payable without prior recourse to the Collateral; Lender’s right to immediately terminate Borrower’s right to draw additional funds, and/or suspend or reduce Borrower’s credit or credit limit, all with or without notice to Borrower; and the right to foreclose on, or enforce any security interest in, any Collateral (all above collectively, “Remedies”). All Lender’s Remedies: (a) may be exercised at any time by Lender, or from time to time, after an Event of Default; (b) are cumulative and not exclusive; and (c) shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by law or equity. Lender may enforce any security interest or lien in such manner and order, as to all or any part of the Collateral as Lender, in its sole judgment, deems appropriate. Borrower, to the extent possible, waives all rights, obligations, or defenses now or hereafter established by law relating to the Remedies.
| 5.1 | ACCELERATION. If an Event of Default occurs, Lender may, at its option, declare all or any portion of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of non-payment, |

| Customer Number: | 1700212664 |
protest or prior recourse to Collateral, and terminate or suspend Borrower’s right to draw or request funds on any Loan or line of credit.

Lender’s failure to require strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between Lender and Borrower shall not affect Lender’s right to require strict compliance with such provision. Lender’s suspension or waiver of an Event of Default shall not affect any other Event of Default or any of Lender’s remedies with respect thereto. Lender’s waiver or suspension of any rights under this or any other agreement, or Lender’s grant of any consent to Borrower, shall be effective only if such waiver, suspension, or consent is in writing and only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. |

Page 6 of 8
| Filing Ref. : | Windfall Investors, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company |
| Customer Number: | 1700212664 |
of the Loan Indebtedness of all other Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower, to proceed against or exhaust any Collateral, to pursue any remedy Lender may have at any time, and the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Borrower waives any and all defenses by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of any other Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness owed to Lender, (b) the termination for any reason whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower, (c) any act or omission of Lender that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any other Borrower, any guarantor, or any security provided by any Borrower or guarantor, (d) the failure by Lender to perfect any security interest or lien on any Collateral, and (e) an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for this Agreement, has destroyed Borrower's rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity, set off, or other recourse against another Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise or under similar laws in other jurisdictions.
| 19.1 | BORROWER FURTHER AGREES. Each Borrower agrees that Lender may at any time, without notice, release all or any part of the Collateral securing the Indebtedness (including all or any part of the premises covered by any mortgage or deed of trust), grant extensions, change terms of payment, deferments, renewals or reamortizations of any part of the Indebtedness, and release from personal liability any one or more of the parties who are or may become liable for the Indebtedness; all without affecting the personal liability of any other party. Borrower also severally waives any and all other defense or right of offset against the Holder hereof. No Borrower shall have any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity, set off, or other recourse and waives the benefit of, or any right to participate in, any Collateral until such time as all of the obligations owed by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. Each Borrower, to the extent it may lawfully do so, waives any defense under California anti-deficiency statutes, or comparable provisions of the laws of any other state to the recovery of a deficiency after a foreclosure sale of such property. |
| 19.2 | BORROWER FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that it has established adequate means of obtaining from each other Borrower, on a continuing basis, information pertaining to the businesses, operations and conditions (financial or otherwise) of each other Borrower and its properties, and each Borrower now is and will be familiar with the businesses, operations and conditions (financial or otherwise) of each other Borrower and its properties. Each Borrower waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Lender (if such duty exists) to disclose to any Borrower any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations, or conditions (financial or otherwise) of any other Borrower or its properties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower waives any defenses or rights arising under or of the kind described in California Civil Code sections 2795, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819 through 2825 (inclusive), 2832, 2839, and 2845 through 2850 (inclusive) and similar laws in other jurisdictions. |
20. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. The representatives of Lender are not authorized to make any oral agreements or assurances. Do not sign this Agreement if you believe that there are any agreements or understandings between you and Lender that are not set forth in writing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement, any Supplement and all other Loan Documents are binding on Borrower’s and Lender’s successors and assignees. Borrower shall not assign this Agreement any Loan or Loan Document without Lender’s prior written consent. Lender may sell participations in or assign this Agreement, and may exchange financial information about Borrower with actual or potential participants or assignees. If a participation is sold or the Agreement is assigned, the purchaser will have the right of set-off against Borrower.
22. SEVERABILITY; COUNTERPARTS. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, any Security Instrument or any other Loan Documents should be deemed or held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or against public policy in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired. To the extent any waiver of a right by Borrower hereunder may be contrary to
Page 7 of 8
| Filing Ref. : | Windfall Investors, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company |
| Customer Number: | 1700212664 |
applicable law, such waiver shall be deemed made to the extent allowed by such law. To the extent Nevada law applies, Borrower does not waive any right relating to the sale of real property provided under Nevada law. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
23. CAPTIONS. Captions used in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any term or provision. As used herein, the word “including” means “including without limitation” and/or “including but not limited to”.
24. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be governed by federal law, to the extent applicable, and shall otherwise be governed by the laws of the state specified in the address of Lender, on page 1. Any Loan Document specifying governing laws of a different state shall be governed thereby.
25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS MUST BE IN WRITING. This Agreement and all other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parties on the subject matter hereof; superseding all prior negotiations, communications, discussions, oral agreements, and promises concerning the Indebtedness or any Loan. This Agreement does not supersede any Loan Document(s) pertaining to other outstanding loan(s) of Borrower with Lender except as specified herein. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by Lender and Borrower.
