B.  Guarantor is an affiliate of Borrower and Guarantor will directly benefit
from Lender making the Loan.
 
C.  Lender has advised Guarantor that it will not extend the Loan to Borrower
unless, among other matters, all of the obligations of Borrower under the Note,
the Loan Agreement and certain other agreements as hereinafter provided,
including without limitation the punctual payment of both principal and interest
to be paid, are guaranteed by Guarantor.
 
D.  Guarantor is willing and has agreed to guarantee the payment and performance
of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan pursuant to the terms of this
Guaranty.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to enter into the Loan Agreement and
disburse the Loan and in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows:
 
 
1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
1.  Guaranty.  Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranties:  (i) the due and punctual payment in
full (and not merely the collectibility) of the principal of the Note and the
interest thereon, in each case when due and payable, according to the terms of
the Note, whether at stated maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise;
(ii) the due and punctual payment in full (and not merely the collectibility) of
all other sums and charges which may at any time be due and payable in
accordance with, or under the terms of, the Note, whether at stated maturity, by
reason of acceleration or otherwise; (iii) the due and punctual performance and
observance of all of the other terms, covenants and conditions contained in the
Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deeds of Trust and any other security instruments
and agreements relating to the Note now or hereafter existing, on the part of
Borrower to be performed or observed (collectively the Note, the Loan Agreement,
the Deeds of Trust, all security instruments and all related agreements are
collectively referred to therein as the “Loan Documents”); and (iv) the accuracy
of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan
Agreement; and (v) the payment and performance of all Obligations, as defined in
the Loan Agreement; and which guaranty shall survive (among other events)
payment and satisfaction of the Note, foreclosure, a deed in lieu transaction,
and release of any collateral.
 
2.  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 obligations hereunder arising or created after any attempted
revocation by Guarantor.  The fact that at any time or from time to time the
Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the
obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to the 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.  Subsequent Changes.  Guarantor expressly agrees that Lender may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, without notice to or further assent of Guarantor and
without in any way releasing, affecting or impairing the obligations and
liabilities of Guarantor hereunder:  (i) renew, extend, rearrange, modify,
release or cancel any payments called for and provisions contained in the Loan
Documents, including without limitation, the Note; (ii) waive compliance with,
or any default under, or grant any other indulgences with respect to, the Loan
Documents; (iii) modify, amend or change any provisions of the Loan Documents;
(iv) grant extensions or renewals of or with respect to the Loan Documents,
and/or effect any release, compromise or settlement in connection therewith; (v)
agree to the substitution, exchange, release or other disposition of all or any
part of the collateral securing the Note; (vi) make advances for the purpose of
performing any term or covenant contained in the Loan Documents, with respect to
which Borrower shall be in default; (vii) assign or otherwise transfer the Loan
Documents including without limitation this Guaranty, or any interest therein;
(viii) take, or delay in taking or refuse to take, any and all action with
reference to the Note and the other Loan Documents (regardless of whether same
might vary the risk or alter the rights, remedies or recourses of Guarantor),
including specifically (but without limitation) the settlement or compromise of
any amount or performance allegedly due thereunder, and (ix) deal in all
respects with Borrower without regard to the existence of this Guaranty.  The
obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, or
priority of the Loan Documents or any other circumstances which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor and without
regard to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction, or defense of any kind which any
party obligated under the Loan Documents may have or assert.

 
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
4.  Direct and Absolute Obligation.  The liability of Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be primary, direct and immediate and not conditional or
contingent upon pursuit by Lender of any remedies it may have against Borrower
or any other party with respect to the Loan Documents, whether pursuant to the
terms thereof or otherwise.  No exercise or nonexercise by Lender of any right
given to it hereunder or under the Loan Documents, and no change, impairment or
suspension of any right or remedy of Lender shall in any way affect any of
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or give Guarantor any recourse against
Lender.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall not be
required to make any demand on Borrower and/or any other party, or otherwise
pursue or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or any other party, before,
simultaneously with or after, enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder
against Guarantor.  Any one or more successive and/or concurrent actions may be
brought hereon against Guarantor, either in the same action, if any, brought
against Borrower and/or any other party, or in separate actions, as often as
Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable.
 
5.  Waivers.  Guarantor hereby expressly waives:  (i) diligence, presentment and
demand for payment and protest of nonpayment; (ii) notice of acceptance of this
Guaranty and of presentment, demand and protest; (iii) notice of any default
hereunder or under the Loan Documents and of all indulgences; (iv) demand for
observance or performance of, or enforcement of, any terms or provisions of this
Guaranty or the Loan Documents; (v) all other notices and demands otherwise
required by law which Guarantor may lawfully waive, including, without
limitation, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration; (vi) the
right to assert in any action or proceeding hereupon by Lender any setoff,
counterclaim or other claim which it may have against Lender or Borrower; (vii)
all rights of indemnity, reimbursement, contribution, and subrogation from the
Borrower, (viii) any and all requirements that Lender institute any action or
proceeding, or exhaust or attempt to enforce any or all of Lender’s right,
remedies or recourses against Borrower or anyone else or in respect of any
mortgaged property or collateral covered by any Loan Documents, or join Borrower
or any other persons liable on the Obligations in any action to enforce this
Guaranty as a condition precedent to bringing an action against Guarantor upon
this Guaranty, it being expressly agreed that the liability of Guarantor
hereunder shall be primary and not secondary; (ix) any defense arising by reason
of any disability, insolvency, lack of authority or power, death, insanity,
minority, dissolution or any other defense of Borrower, or any other surety,
co-maker, endorser or guarantor of the Obligations (even though rendering same
void, unenforceable or otherwise uncollectible), it being agreed that Guarantor
shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether Borrower or any other such
person be found not liable thereon for any reason; (x) all suretyship defenses
of every kind and nature; (xi) any claim Guarantor might otherwise have against
Lender by virtue of Lender’s invocation of any right, remedy or recourse
permitted it hereunder or under the Loan Documents; and (xii) the benefit of all
other principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or
might be in conflict with the terms hereof.

6.  Subordination, Assignment and Transfer; No Subrogation.  Guarantor further
agrees with Lender (a) that all of the present and future indebtedness of
Borrower to Guarantor shall be and hereby is subordinated to, assigned and
transferred to Lender and pledged and made security for the payment of all
Obligations; (b) that all of the present and future indebtedness of Guarantor to
Pope Resources, a Delaware limited partnership, including without limitation,
the unsecured indebtedness evidenced by that certain Revolving Promissory Note
dated August 20, 2010 (the “Pope Note”), shall be and hereby is subordinated in
right of payment to the Obligations, together with all costs of enforcing this
Agreement; (d) that Guarantor contemporaneously herewith and from time to time
hereafter shall on request execute such further endorsements, assignments or
other proper transfers as Lender may request further to evidence the assignment
thereby agreed to and made; and (c) that Guarantor hereby appoints Lender as
Guarantor’s attorney in Guarantor’s or their name to demand and enforce payment
of said indebtedness, to prove all claims, receive all dividends and take all
action on said indebtedness in any liquidation or any proceedings whatsoever
affecting Borrower or its property under any bankruptcy or other laws now or
hereafter in effect for the relief of debtors and in general to do any act or
take any action in regards to said indebtedness which Guarantor might otherwise
do.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty or any
payments made by Guarantor hereunder, Guarantor shall not have any right of
subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or to participate in any way therein
or in any right, title or interest in and to any mortgaged property or any
collateral for the Loan, all such rights of subrogation and participation,
together with any other contractual, statutory or common law right which
guarantor may have to be reimbursed for any payments Guarantor may make to
Lender pursuant to this Guaranty, being hereby expressly waived and released.
