AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby guarantees absolutely, primarily, and irrevocably, payment and performance of all obligations for which Borrower has, or may incur, personal liability to Lender under Section 18 of the Note from and after the date of this Guaranty (collectively, the “Obligations”).
2. Guaranty is Independent and Absolute. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and of any other person who may become liable with respect to the Obligations. Guarantor is jointly and severally liable with Borrower and with any other guarantor for the full and timely payment and performance of all of the Obligations. Guarantor expressly agrees that a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor (or any other guarantor), whether or not any action is brought against Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person for any Obligations guaranteed hereby and whether or not Borrower, any other guarantor or any other persons are joined in any action against Guarantor. Guarantor further agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to proceed against any security for the Obligations prior to enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor, and that Lender may pursue or omit to pursue any and all rights and remedies Lender has against any person or with respect to any security in any order or simultaneously or in any other manner. All rights of Lender and all obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Note or any other Loan Document, and (b) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of Borrower in respect of, the Obligations.
3. Authorizations to Lender. Guarantor authorizes Lender, without notice or demand and without affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time (a) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, change, amend, alter, cancel, compromise or otherwise modify the terms of the Note, including increasing the rate or rates of interest thereunder agreed to by Borrower, and to grant any indulgences, forbearances, or extensions of time; (b) to renew, extend, change, amend, alter, cancel, compromise or otherwise modify any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of any of the Loan Documents or any of the Obligations; (c) to apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender, in Lender’s discretion, may determine; (d) to proceed against Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor with respect to any or all of the Obligations without first foreclosing against any security therefor; (e) to exchange, release, surrender, impair or otherwise deal in any manner with, or waive, release or subordinate any security interest in, any security for the Obligations; (f) to release or substitute Borrower, any other guarantors, endorsers, or other parties who may
A-2
be or become liable with respect to the Obligations, without any release being deemed made of Guarantor or any other such person; and (g) to accept a conveyance or transfer to Lender of all or any part of any security in partial satisfaction of the Obligations, or any of them, without releasing Borrower, Guarantor, or any other guarantor, endorser or other party who may be or become liable with respect to the Obligations, from any liability for the balance of the Obligations.
4. Application of Payments Received by Lender. Any sums of money Lender receives from or for the account of Borrower may be applied by Lender to reduce any of the Obligations or any other liability of Borrower to Lender, as Lender in Lender’s discretion deems appropriate.
5. Waivers by Guarantor. In addition to all waivers expressed in any of the Loan Documents, all of which are incorporated herein by Guarantor:
(a) Guarantor hereby waives (1) presentment, demand, protest and notice of protest, notice of dishonor and of non-payment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and diligence in collection; (2) notice of the existence, creation, or incurring of any new or additional Obligations under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; (3) any right to require Lender to proceed against, give notice to, or make demand upon Borrower; (4) any right to require Lender to proceed against or exhaust any security or to proceed against or exhaust any security in any particular order; (5) any right to require Lender to pursue any remedy of Lender; (6) any right to direct the application of any security held by Lender; (7) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower, any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lender and any right to reimbursement from the Borrower for amounts paid to Lender by Guarantor until all of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Deed of Trust) have been satisfied; (8) benefits, if any, of Guarantor under any anti-deficiency statutes or single-action legislation or judicial interpretation thereof; (9) any defense arising out of any disability or other defense of Borrower, including bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, cessation, impairment, modification, or limitation, from any cause, of any liability of Borrower, or of any remedy for the enforcement of such liability; (10) any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder; (11) any right to plead or assert any election of remedies by Lender; (12) any other defenses available to a surety under applicable law; (13) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower or of any other fact that might increase Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (14) notice of any event of default under the Loan Documents; and (15) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to Guarantor hereunder or under any Loan Document to which Guarantor is a party) and demands to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.
(b) Guarantor hereby waives its right, under Sections 2845 or 2850 of the California Civil Code, or otherwise, to require Lender to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which Lender has or may have against, Borrower or any third party, or against any collateral for the Obligations provided by Borrower, Guarantor, or any third party. In this regard, Guarantor agrees that it is bound to the payment of all Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter accruing as fully as if such Obligations were directly owing to Lender by Guarantor. Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed
A-3
and indefeasibly paid) of Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower in respect thereof.
(c) Guarantor hereby waives: (1) any rights to assert against Lender any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable to Lender; (2) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor; (3) any defense Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right Guarantor has to be exonerated, provided by Sections 2819, 2822, or 2825 of the California Civil Code, or otherwise, arising by reason of: any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender; the impairment or suspension of Lender’s rights or remedies against Borrower; the alteration by Lender of the Obligations; any discharge of Borrower’s obligations to Lender by operation of law as a result of Lender’s intervention or omission; or the acceptance by Lender of anything in partial satisfaction of the Obligations; (4) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor’s liability hereunder.
(d) Guarantor hereby waives any right of subrogation Guarantor has or may have as against Borrower with respect to the Obligations. In addition, Guarantor hereby waives any right to proceed against Borrower, now or hereafter for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, and any other suretyship rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which Guarantor may now have or hereafter have as against Borrower with respect to the Obligations. Guarantor also hereby waives any rights to recourse to or with respect to any asset of Borrower. Guarantor agrees that in light of the immediately foregoing waivers, the execution of this Guaranty shall not be deemed to make Guarantor a “creditor” of Borrower, and that for purposes of Sections 547 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code Guarantor shall not be deemed a “creditor” of Borrower.
(e) Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the foregoing sentence, Guarantor is knowingly waiving in advance a complete or partial defense to this Guaranty arising under CCP Sections 580d or 580a and based upon Lender’s election to conduct a private non-judicial foreclosure sale, even though such election would destroy, diminish, or affect Guarantor’s rights of subrogation against Borrower or any other party and Guarantor’s rights to pursue Borrower or such other party for reimbursement contribution, indemnity, or otherwise.
(f) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY AND ALL BENEFITS OR
A-4
DEFENSES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY UNDER ANY ONE OR MORE OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2825, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433, CCP SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580c, 580d, AND 726, AND CHAPTER 2 OF TITLE 14 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE.
(g) Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things, (1) Lender may collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower; (2) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower: (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) Lender may collect from the Guarantor, even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property.
6. Subordination by Guarantor. Guarantor hereby agrees that any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter created, shall be and is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents. At any time during which a Default or Event of Default shall exist, Guarantor shall not accept or seek to receive any amounts from Borrower on account of any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor.
7. Bankruptcy Reimbursements. Guarantor hereby agrees that if all or any part of the Obligations paid to Lender by Borrower or any other party liable for payment and satisfaction of the Obligations (other than Guarantor) are recovered from Lender in any bankruptcy proceeding, Guarantor shall reimburse Lender immediately on demand for all amounts of such Obligations so recovered from Lender, together with interest thereon at the default rate set forth in the Note from the date such amounts are so recovered until repaid in full to Lender, and, for this purpose, this Guaranty shall survive repayment of the Loan.
8. Net Worth and Liquid Assets Covenant. Until all of the Obligations have been paid in full, Guarantor shall maintain (i) a Net Worth at least equal to $100,000,000.00 and (ii) Liquid Assets having a market value of at least $5,000,000.00. Guarantor’s Net Worth and Liquid Assets shall be set forth in reasonable detail in the financial statements required to be delivered to Lender under this Guaranty. The term “Net Worth” shall mean, as of a given date, (x) the total assets of Guarantor as of such date less (y) such Guarantor’s total liabilities as of such date, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The term “Liquid Assets” shall mean assets in the form of cash, cash equivalents, obligations of (or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by) the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof (provided the full faith and credit of the United States supports such obligation or guarantee), certificates of deposit issued by a commercial bank having net assets of not less than $500,000,000.00, securities listed and traded on a recognized stock exchange or traded over the counter and listed in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotations, or liquid debt instruments that have a readily ascertainable value and are regularly traded in a recognized financial market.

Guarantor shall also furnish to Lender copies of its federal and state income tax returns for the preceding year within ten (10) days of the filing thereof with the appropriate governmental agencies.
11. Assignability. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and Guarantor’s heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and Lender’s successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall follow the Note and other Loan Documents which are for the benefit of Lender, and, in the event the Note and other Loan Documents are negotiated, sold, transferred, assigned, or conveyed by Lender in whole or in part, this Guaranty shall be deemed to have been sold, transferred, assigned, or conveyed by Lender to the holder or holders of the Note and other Loan Documents, with respect to the Obligations contained therein, and such holder or holders may enforce this Guaranty as if such holder or holders had been originally named as Lender hereunder.
12. Payment of Costs of Enforcement. In the event any action or proceeding is brought to enforce this Guaranty, Guarantor shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender.

To the extent that this indemnity is unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Indemnitor agrees to contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters.
(b) Indemnitor agrees to reimburse each Indemnitee for all sums paid and costs incurred by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter within ten (10) days following written demand therefor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) if not paid within such ten (10) day period.
(c) Should any Indemnitee institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity, or in arbitration, to enforce any provision of this Agreement (including an action for declaratory relief or for damages by reason of any alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement) or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any provision hereof, it shall be entitled to recover from Indemnitor its reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith if it is the prevailing party in such action or proceeding.
Section 4. Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of any of the following specified events (each an “Event of Default”):
(a) if any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 1 shall prove to be untrue in any respect; or
(b) if Indemnitor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement within fifteen (15) days following written notice thereof from Lender; provided that if such nonperformance is incapable of cure within such fifteen (15) day period, no Event
A-14
of Default shall occur hereunder if Indemnitor has commenced a program to perform such obligations, which program is satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion and is in accordance with applicable law, and is diligently pursuing such program to completion; and provided further that if a shorter cure period or notice requirement for any particular failure to perform is provided by applicable law or this Agreement, such specific provision shall control;
then and in any such event, and at any time thereafter, if any Event of Default shall then be continuing, Lender may do or cause to be done whatever is necessary in its sole judgment to cause the Property to comply with applicable Environmental Laws, and the cost thereof (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note) shall become immediately due and payable by Indemnitor without notice. Indemnitor shall and does hereby grant to Lender and its agents access to the Property and hereby specifically grants to Lender an irrevocable, non exclusive license to do whatever is necessary in Lender’s judgment to cause the Property to so comply, including, without limitation, to enter the Property and remove therefrom any Hazardous Substances.
Section 5. Recourse Obligations.

(b) The liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall in no way be limited to or impaired by any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Loan Documents unless such amendment or modification expressly refers to this Agreement.

A-15
Section 6. Independent Obligations. This Agreement is intended to create obligations that are separate and independent of Borrower’s obligations under the Note, Deed of Trust and other Loan Documents, and Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder are not secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents.
Section 7. Survival.
(a) The representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities set forth in this Agreement shall survive the repayment of the Loan, the release of the lien of the Deed of Trust, any foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or the delivery of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and the transfer of any interest in and to the Property; provided, however, that the covenants contained in subsections 2(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (g) hereof shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) repayment of the Loan, or (ii) a permitted sale of the Property and assumption of the Loan.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of Indemnitor, the Indemnitees, and their respective successors and assigns.
