such reliance if reasonably made in good faith.
(c) Use of Advance Proceeds. Borrower shall use Advance proceeds exclusively for the
purpose of funding its capital contribution and co-investment obligations to the Funds.

Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and performance obligations).

Borrower is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed
to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its
ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Except as disclosed in the Schedule,
Borrower has not changed its state of formation or its organizational structure or type or any
organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of formation.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not
conflict with Borrower’s formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material
agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or
by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change.
5.2 Collateral.
Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens or Borrower has
Rights to each asset that is Collateral. Borrower has no other deposit account, other than the
deposit accounts described in the Schedule and the deposit accounts, if any, subsequently disclosed

the possession of any third party bailee. If Borrower, after the Closing Date, intends to store or
otherwise deliver the Collateral to a bailee, then it will receive the prior written consent of
Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that such bailee is holding such Collateral for
the benefit of Bank.
5.3 Litigation.
Except as shown in the Schedule or disclosed in writing to Bank after the Closing Date, there are
no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers,
including its internal legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrower in which a likely adverse
decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor

assets has been used by Borrower 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 has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision

security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires 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 (subject
to the rights of any landlord), without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
- 9 -
(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) 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; and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 Power of Attorney.
Effective only when an Event of Default exists, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful
attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii)
sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account
debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle
and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on
terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third
party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any
documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of
whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s 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.
9.3 Bank Expenses.
If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons that
is required hereunder, Bank may make all or part of the payment. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank
Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured
by the Collateral. 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 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9207 of the Code, it is not liable
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. Except as provided above, Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or
destruction of the Collateral.
9.5 Remedies Cumulative.
Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements
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 is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No
waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and
purpose for which it was given.
9.6 Demand Waiver.
Except as specifically provided otherwise herein or in any other Loan Document, Borrower waives
demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default,
nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts,
documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

10.2 Subrogation and Similar Rights.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, until the
Obligations have been full and finally paid (other than inchoate indemnity and performance
obligations), each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity
(including any law subrogating the Borrower to the rights of Bank under the Loan Documents) to seek
contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any
other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any
payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents
or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security
for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations
in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification,
reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 10.2 shall be null and void.
If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 10.2, such Borrower shall
hold such payment in trust for Bank and such
- 11 -
payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured.
10.3 Waivers of Defenses.
Each Borrower, to the extent that it is a guarantor of the Obligations, waives any defense arising
from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of
the liability of any other Borrower. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by a
Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of
Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing contained herein
shall prevent Bank from foreclosing on the Lien of any security instrument, or exercising any
rights available thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of either Borrower. Each Borrower, to the extent that it is a guarantor of the
Obligations, also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of Bank that changes the
scope of the Borrower’s risks hereunder. Each Borrower, to the extent that it is a guarantor of
the Obligations, waives any right to assert against Bank any defense (legal or equitable), setoff,
counterclaim, or claims that such Borrower individually may now or hereafter have against any other
Borrower or any other Person liable to Borrower with respect to the Obligations in any manner or
whatsoever. Each Borrower assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of any
other Borrower’s financial condition and of all other circumstances bearing on the risk of
nonpayment of the Obligations and that Bank shall have no duty to advise it of information that
Bank has regarding the foregoing.
10.4 Waiver of Subrogation and Other Guarantor Defenses.
Each Borrower, to the extent that it is a guarantor of the Obligations and to the extent permitted
by law, waives any defense based on impairment or destruction of its subrogation or other rights
against any other Borrower and waives all benefits which might otherwise be available to it under
California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433
and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, as those statutory
provisions are now in effect and hereafter amended, and under any other similar statutes now and
hereafter in effect.
10.5 Right to Settle, Release.
(a) Each Borrower’s liability hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement,
understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another
Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or
total, or rights, if any, which Borrower may now or hereafter have against any other Person,
including any other Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.
(b) Without notice to any other Borrower and without affecting the liability of any other
Borrower hereunder, Bank may (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the
manner or terms of payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any
of the Obligations with respect to another Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to another
Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents, relating to the
Obligations with respect to another Borrower, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or
other property securing the Obligations whether pledged by another Borrower or any other Person, or
(v) compromise, settle renew, or extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline
to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other Person who is now
or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.
