There were various amendments to the sets of claims and the Court ordered arbitration and consolidation of all pending matters before the American Arbitration Association, under Case No. 72148Y0100508. All of these various claims are collectively referred to herein as the “Lawsuit”.
 
B.     The Parties hereto have agreed to settle this matter, including all of the claims in the Lawsuit and execute documentation to effectuate the terms of the settlement as set forth herein.
 
 

 
 
THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the Parties hereto, as follows:
 
1.     There are currently Certificates of Deposits (CDs”) held at Professional Business Bank in the interest of the Team Nation Parties (a list of the accounts is attached hereto as Exhibit 1) that will be paid immediately upon performance of all actions required under this Settlement Agreement to Professional Business Bank.
 
2.     Professional Business Bank will provide financing, that supersedes and amends prior financing terms as set forth in this Settlement Agreement, to Team Nation Holding, Inc., a California corporation for $2.75 million at the rate of 5% interest with monthly payments starting at $20,000 a month increasing by $5,000 increments each year for 5 years with a balloon payment due at the end of the 5 year term, with payment commencing January 26, 2010 and due on the 26th of each month thereafter throughout the 5 year term. This financing will repay two notes, specifically Note #300679 for $2,381,494.43, principal outstanding and Note #300767 for $999,797.01 principal outstanding. The CDs amount referenced in paragraph 1 will be applied to Note #3 00767 and the monthly payments will be applied to Note #3 00767 first, then Note #300679.
 
3.     If Team Nation Holding, Inc., a California corporation is able to pay off the above-referenced financing in full on or before 12 months from the date of execution of this Settlement Agreement, Professional Business Bank will apply an additional discount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) to the principal amount except that any accrued interest to date will remain owing and payable.
 
4.     There will be no prepayment penalties incurred by Team Nation Holdings, Inc. in payment of the financing referenced in paragraph 2.
 
 

 
5.   Personal Guaranty Agreements in the form attached as Exhibit 2 will be executed by all of above-referenced Team Nation Parties and the Guarantors as part of this Settlement Agreement.
 
6.     Currently, four individuals own shares in Cal Counties Title Nation, Inc. namely, Dennis R. Duffy, Daniel Duffy, Janice Okerlund and Norman J. Francis (or Mr. Francis intends to acquire a 25% interest such that these will be the four shareholders of the CalCounties Title Nation, Inc.). These four individuals individually or collectively, their successors, heirs or assigns are required to maintain a controlling interest (51% or more) in CalCounties Title Nation, Inc. at all times during the above-referenced 5 year term of the financing. If for any reason the shares of the four individuals are diluted to total less than 51%, the financing will become immediately due and payable in full. Further, the shareholders of CalCounties Title Nation, Inc. have an obligation to immediately report such dilution of shares to Professional Business Bank.
 
7.     A stipulated judgment will be executed against the Team Nation Parties and the Guarantors, in favor of Professional Business Bank for $3,215,062.37 to be filed and entered if a default occurs. The total amount of this stipulated judgment will be adjusted for payments and accrued and unpaid interest as provided in this Settlement Agreement. A default is defined as a failure to timely make a monetary payment that is due and owing under the terms of this Settlement Agreement. If any such payment is not timely made, the Team Nation Parties will have an opportunity to cure the default within 15 days of receiving notice of such default via email to Ms. Okerlund at ***@***. If such cure does not take place, the stipulated judgment will be filed and entered in the Court where these matters where initially pending. A dismissal with prejudice of the Excluded Parties only will be filed concurrently with the entry of the stipulated judgment.
 

 
8.     The attachment liens that were obtained during the above-referenced litigation will be released upon the execution by all Parties of this Settlement Agreement and the execution of the Personal Guaranties by Guarantors. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a copy of a letter, the original of which will be signed by counsel for the PBB Parties and provided to the Team Nation Parties for their use in obtaining releases of the attachment liens. This provision will be satisfied by the PBB Parties upon tender of the original signed letters (one for each of three counties) to the Team Nation parties’ representative.
 
9.      The Team Nation Parties will all provide quarterly financial reports to Professional Business Bank in the form and on the date they are required to provide the same to their regulatory agencies.
 
10.            This Settlement Agreement does not require any banking relationship between the Team Nation Parties and Professional Business Bank other than that set forth in this Settlement Agreement.
 
11.    Upon receipt of this Settlement Agreement executed in full, counsel for Professional Business Bank will notify the American Arbitration Association that this matter is settled so that it can be dismissed. Counsel for the Parties will also execute dismissals with prejudice of the Lawsuit, except for providing the Court, pursuant to CCP 664.6, the ability to retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement and enter a possible judgment pursuant to stipulation as set forth herein, if necessary.
 
12.    All Parties agree to cooperate as necessary with the execution of any documents referenced in this Settlement Agreement. If those documents are not executed, this Settlement Agreement will not be deemed to have been fully executed. In other words, the date that the Settlement Agreement will be deemed executed is the date upon which the Settlement
 

 
Agreement and all required documentation is executed. All documents must be executed on or before January 22, 2010.
 
13.    Other than the obligations set forth in this Settlement Agreement, the Stipulated Judgment, should it be entered, and the personal guaranties to be executed by the Team Nation Parties and the Guarantors, all Parties including, all individually named Parties, the PBB Parties, CalCounties, the Team Nation Parties, the Guarantors, and the Excluded Parties do hereby release and forever discharge each other and all of their respective employees, representatives, successors, agents, attorneys, directors from any and all manner of action or actions, cause or causes of actions, suits, debts, liens, liability, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs or expenses, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent arising out of or connected with the litigation.
 
14.    The Parties acknowledge that they are familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code § 1542, which provides as follows:
 
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
 
does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
 
executing the release, which if known by him, must have
 
materially affected his settlement with the debtor”
 
The Parties waive their rights under this section and any other statutes, or common law principles of similar effect, other than the obligations set forth in this Settlement Agreement, the Stipulated Judgment, should it be entered, and
the personal guaranties to be executed by the Team Nation Parties and Guarantors.
 
15.            The Parties have been represented in the Lawsuit and in the preparation of this Settlement Agreement by independent counsel of their own choice. The Parties agree that this
 
 


Settlement Agreement is being executed voluntarily and that each has been given a reasonable amount of time to consider the terms of this Settlement Agreement before executing this Settlement Agreement.
 
16.     Pursuant to Evidence Code section 1123(b), this Settlement Agreement is enforceable, binding and admissible in a court of law, and shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of the representative heirs, successors, representatives and assigns of the Parties hereto. The Court shall retain jurisdiction until all the terms of this Settlement Agreement have been carried out, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 664.6.
 
17.    The Parties hereto shall execute all other documents as may be necessary and proper to carry out the terms of this Agreement.
 
18.    The Parties acknowledge that they may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those they now know or believe to be true with respect to the claims, demands, causes of action, obligations, damages and liabilities of any nature whatsoever that are the subject of the release set forth in paragraph 13 of this Settlement Agreement, and they expressly agree to assume the risk of the possible discovery of additional or different facts, and agree that this Settlement Agreement shall be and remain effective in all respects, regardless of such additional or different facts.
 
19.    The Parties warrant that they have made no assignment, and will make no assignment, of any claim, chose in action, right of action, or any right of any kind whatsoever, embodied in any of their claims of any kind referred to herein, and that no other person or entity had or has any interest in any of the demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, debts, liabilities, rights, contracts, damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses, losses, or claims referred to herein.
 
 


 
20.    This Settlement Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties who have executed it and supersedes any and all other agreements, understandings, negotiations or discussions, either oral or in writing, express or implied, between the Parties to this Settlement Agreement. The Parties to this Settlement Agreement each acknowledge that no representations, inducements, promises, agreements or warranties, oral or otherwise, have been made by them, or anyone acting on their behalf, which are not embodied in this Settlement Agreement, that they have not executed this Settlement Agreement in reliance on any such representation, inducement, promise, agreement or warranty, and that any representation, inducement, promise, agreement or warranty not contained in this Settlement Agreement, including, but not limited to, any purported supplements, modifications, or terminations of this Settlement Agreement shall be valid or binding, unless executed in writing by all of the Parties to this Settlement Agreement.
 
21.    This Settlement Agreement is made and entered into in the State of California and shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of said State.
 
22.    All Parties hereto will bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of the Lawsuit and the preparation of this Settlement Agreement.
 
23.    Any dispute arising out of this Settlement Agreement will be subject to arbitration in Los Angeles County pursuant to the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules. In the event any Party hereto initiates legal proceedings against the other to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Settlement Agreement, the prevailing Party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover her or his reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation from the Party not prevailing.
 
 

 
 
24.    This Settlement Agreement may be executed in counterparts and when signed by all Parties hereto shall constitute one single document.
 
25.   Should any of the provisions of paragraphs 1 through 10 need to be modified, altered or terminated by mutual consent, the only Parties needed to execute such a modification, etc. are Professional Business Bank on the one hand and the TEAM Nation Parties and the Guarantors on the other hand.
 
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EACH HAS READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY, AS THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS.
