obligation to pay under the Loan Documents or otherwise paid to Lender;
(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or
any other deposits collected with respect to the Properties which are

-2-
(viii) losses, damages, costs and expenses relating

or indirectly, solicits or facilitates the commencement of such action or
proceeding or is determined to be in collusion relative to creditors that

(c) This Guaranty guaranties only the obligations of
Borrower with respect to Note A and does not guaranty any obligations of

1.3 NATURE OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty is an irrevocable,
absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of
collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to
be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after
any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural
person) Guarantor's death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon
Guarantor's estate and Guarantor's legal representatives and heirs). The fact
that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be
increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor
to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be
enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be
discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.
-3-
1.4 GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS NOT REDUCED BY OFFSET. The
Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to
Lender hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by
reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any
other party, against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed
Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or
otherwise.
1.5 PAYMENT BY GUARANTOR. If all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand,
maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by
Lender, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of
non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of
acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful
money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed
Obligations to Lender at Lender's address as set forth herein. Such demand(s)
may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may be made from time to time with
respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand
shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice
provisions hereof.
1.6 NO DUTY TO PURSUE OTHERS. It shall not be necessary
for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to
require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder,
first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others
liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person, (b)
enforce Lender's rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given
to secure the Loan, (c) enforce Lender's rights against any other guarantors of
the Guaranteed Obligations, (d) join Borrower or any others liable on the
Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (e)
exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever
have been given to secure the Loan, or (f) resort to any other means of
obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not be required to
mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the
Guaranteed Obligations.
1.7 WAIVERS. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the
Loan Documents, and hereby waives notice of (a) any loans or advances made by
Lender to Borrower, (b) acceptance of this Guaranty, (c) any amendment or
extension of the Note, the Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Documents, (d)
the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit
agreement or of Borrower's execution and delivery of any promissory notes or
other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the
Properties, (e) the occurrence of any breach by Borrower or an Event of Default,
(f) Lender's transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part
thereof, (g) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or
foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (h) protest,
proof of non-payment or default by Borrower and (i) any other action at any time
taken or omitted by Lender, and, generally, all demands and notices of every
kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or
agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations.
1.8 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. In the event that Guarantor
should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty,
Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, pay Lender all costs and
expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys'
-4-
fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of
Lender's rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive
the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
1.9 EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY. In the event that, pursuant to
any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief
law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or
restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Lender in satisfaction of
the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge
from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without
effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the
intention of Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall
not be discharged except by Guarantor's performance of such obligations and then
only to the extent of such performance.
1.10 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION, REIMBURSEMENT AND
CONTRIBUTION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and
abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement,
at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the
Guarantor to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek
contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower
or any other party liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed
Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this
Guaranty or otherwise.
1.11 BORROWER. The term "BORROWER" as used herein shall
include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or
limited), joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a
result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of
Borrower or any interest in Borrower.

creation, performance or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or the

Obligations, or given to secure the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations) is

hereon regardless of whether Borrower or any other Person be found not liable on
the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof for any reason.

other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all

Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action
or omission prejudices Guarantor or increases the likelihood that Guarantor will

be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and extend
credit to Borrower, Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:
-7-
3.1 BENEFIT. Guarantor is an affiliate of Borrower, is
the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower, and has received, or
will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
3.2 FAMILIARITY AND RELIANCE. Guarantor is familiar with,
and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial
condition of the Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all
collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note or
Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial
condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.
3.3 NO REPRESENTATION BY LENDER. Neither Lender nor any
other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in
order to induce the Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.
3.4 GUARANTOR'S FINANCIAL CONDITION. As of the date
hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation
evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have
assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and debts, and has and will have property and assets
sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities.
3.5 LEGALITY. The execution, delivery and performance by
Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereunder do not, and will not, contravene or conflict with any law, statute or
regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject or constitute a default (or
an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default)
under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
charge, lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor
is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor. This Guaranty is a legal and
binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application
relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights.
3.6 SURVIVAL. All representations and warranties made by
Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.
ARTICLE IV
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
4.1 SUBORDINATION OF ALL GUARANTOR CLAIMS. As used
herein, the term "GUARANTOR CLAIMS" shall mean all debts and liabilities of
Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are
hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be
direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or
otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by
note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person in
whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may
hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be
acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all
rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of
subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor's payment of all or a portion
of the Guaranteed
-8-
Obligations. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Guarantor shall not
receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other party any
amount upon the Guarantor Claims.
4.2 CLAIMS IN BANKRUPTCY. In the event of receivership,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor's relief, or other insolvency
proceedings involving Guarantor as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove
its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and
receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends
and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantor
hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for
application upon the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which
is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor,
shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender
in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the
rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor
Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations,
and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed
Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or
payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
4.3 PAYMENTS HELD IN TRUST. In the event that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should
receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this
Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the
amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees
that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds,
payments, claims or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to
Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.
4.4 LIENS SUBORDINATE. Guarantor agrees that any liens,
security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon
Borrower's assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain
inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens,
charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower's assets securing payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of
Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without
the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (a) exercise or enforce
any creditor's right it may have against Borrower, or (b) foreclose, repossess,
sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings
(judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or
joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor's relief or
insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security
interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of
Borrower held by Guarantor.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 WAIVER. No failure to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, on the part of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of
Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No
-9-
modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to
departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or
waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice
or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other
action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.

consent made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be received by

effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully
severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty,
and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and

consists of more than one person or party, the obligations and liabilities of
each such person or party shall be joint and several.
5.7 HEADINGS. Section headings are for convenience of
reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Guaranty.

may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It
shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or

counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument.
It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty to produce or account
for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or
on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart
may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the
signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical

ARTICLE VI
STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS - CALIFORNIA
To the extent this document is enforceable in the State of
California, the laws of the State of California are held to govern this
Agreement and the following provisions shall apply:
6.1 PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION. In the event of any
inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 6 and the terms
and conditions of this Security Instrument, the terms and conditions of this
Article 6 shall control and be binding.
6.2 GUARANTOR. Guarantor acknowledges that it is
guaranteeing the obligations of Borrower to Lender. Accordingly, Guarantor
agrees as follows:
(a) Modifications to Loan and Loan Documents. Guarantor
agrees that Lender may do any of the following without affecting the
enforceability of this Agreement:
(i) take or release additional security for any
obligation in connection with the Loan Documents;
(ii) discharge or release (by judicial or
nonjudicial foreclosure, acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise) any party or parties liable under the Loan Documents;
(iii) accept or make compositions or other
arrangements or file or refrain from filing a claim in any bankruptcy
proceeding of Borrower, any guarantor of Borrower's obligations under
the Loan Documents or any pledgor of collateral for any person's
obligations to Lender; and
(iv) credit payments in such manner and order of
priority to principal, interest or other obligations as Lender may
determine.
(b) Waivers.
(i) Guarantor agrees that Lender's right to
enforce this Agreement is absolute and is not contingent upon the
genuineness, validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.
Guarantor waives all benefits and defenses it may have under California
Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that Lender's rights under this
Agreement shall be enforceable even if Borrower had no liability at the
time of execution of the Loan Documents or later ceases to be liable.
(ii) Guarantor waives all benefits and defenses
it may have under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that
Lender's rights under this Agreement will remain enforceable even if
the amount secured by this Agreement is larger in amount and more
burdensome than that for which Borrower is responsible. The
enforceability of this Agreement against Guarantor shall continue until
all sums due under the Loan Documents have been paid in full and shall
not be limited or affected in any way by any
-13-
impairment or any diminution or loss of value of any security or
collateral for Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents, from
whatever cause, the failure of any security interest in any such
security or collateral or any disability or other defense of Borrower,
any guarantor of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents, any
other pledgor of collateral for any person's obligations to Lender or
any other person in connection with Borrower's loan.
(iii) Guarantor waives all benefits and defenses
it may have under California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849 and 2850,
including, without limitation, the right to require Lender to (A)
proceed against Borrower, any guarantor of Borrower's obligations under
the Loan Documents, any other pledgor of collateral for any person's
obligations to Lender or any other person in connection with Borrower's
loan, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security or collateral
Lender may hold, or (C) pursue any other right or remedy for
Guarantor's benefit, and agrees that Lender may exercise its rights
under this Agreement or may foreclose against the Mortgaged Property
without taking any action against Borrower, Guarantor, guarantor of
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Document, any pledgor of
collateral for any person's obligations to Lender or any other person
in connection with Borrower's loan, and without proceeding against or
exhausting any security or collateral Lender holds.
(iv) Guarantor waives any rights or benefits it
may have by reason of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a
which could limit the amount which Lender could recover in a
foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property to the difference between the
amount owing under the Loan Documents and the fair value of the
property or interests sold at a nonjudicial foreclosure sale or sales
of any other real property held by Lender as security for the
obligations under the Loan Documents.
(v) Guarantor waives diligence and all demands,
protests, presentments and notices of protest, dishonor, nonpayment and
acceptance of this Agreement.
(c) Guarantor Informed of Borrower's Condition. Guarantor
acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review the Loan Documents, the
value of the security for Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents and
Borrower's financial condition and ability to satisfy its obligations to Lender.
Guarantor agrees to keep itself fully informed of all aspects of Borrower's
financial condition and the performance of Borrower's obligations to Lender and
agrees that Lender has no duty to disclose to Guarantor any information
pertaining to Borrower or any security for Borrower's obligations under the Loan
Documents.
(d) Waiver of Estoppel Defense. Upon Borrower's default
under the Loan Documents, Lender may elect to foreclose nonjudicially on real
property given by Borrower or others as security under the Loan Documents and
also to exercise its rights under this Agreement. Guarantor acknowledges that
its right to seek reimbursement from Borrower for any amounts paid by Guarantor
to Lender under this Agreement will be eliminated if Lender elects to so
foreclose on Borrower's property. Nevertheless, Guarantor waives any such right
to reimbursement and agrees that a nonjudicial foreclosure by Lender against any
real property security owned by Borrower or others will not affect the
enforceability of this Agreement on
-14-
Guarantor's interest in the Mortgaged Property. In order to further effectuate
such waiver Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an
election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of
remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to
the Mortgaged Property, has destroyed Guarantor's rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by the
operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or
otherwise.
(e) Subrogation. Guarantor agrees that its rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower, its right of subrogation against
the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral or security for Lender's loan to
Borrower or the pledgor of such collateral or security and its right of
contribution from any guarantor or surety of Borrower's obligation xxxxxx the
Loan Documents shall be subordinate to Lender's rights against Borrower, in such
collateral or security, against any such pledgor and against any such guarantor
or surety. Guarantor shall have no such rights of subrogation, reimbursement or
contribution until all amounts due under the Note, the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents have been paid in full and Lender has released, transferred or
disposed of all of its rights in any collateral or security. Guarantor waives
its rights under California Civil Code Sections 2847, 2848 and 2849 to the
extent inconsistent with the foregoing.
(f) Confirmation of Waivers. In accordance with
California Civil Code Section 2856(c), Guarantor hereby makes the following
waivers:
(i) The guarantor waives all rights and defenses
that the guarantor may have because the debtor's debt is secured by
real property. This means, among other things:
(A) The creditor may collect from the
guarantor without first foreclosing on any other real
or personal property collateral pledged by the debtor
or any other person.
(B) If the creditor forecloses on any
real property collateral pledged by the debtor:
(1) The amount of the debt may
be reduced only by the price for which the
collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale,
even if the collateral is worth more than
the sale price.
(2) The creditor may collect
from the guarantor even if the creditor, by
foreclosing on the real property collateral,
has destroyed any right the guarantor may
have to collect from the debtor.
(ii) This is an unconditional and irrevocable
waiver of any rights and defenses the guarantor may have because the
debtor's debt is secured by real property.
-15-
These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights
or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the
California Code of Civil Procedures.
-16-
