pay or perform under this Guaranty or otherwise.

2.Guarantor acknowledges and expressly agrees that Bank may utilize various

including periodic checks on the Collateral and examinations of books and
records and that:

Obligation, or otherwise.

8.Guarantor expressly waives and releases Bank from any and all past and present
claims, defenses, causes of action, or damages arising from any and all dealings

10. In addition to the waivers in Paragraph 12 above, in California and/or to
the extent that California law applies,
Guarantor waives and dispenses with:

a. Note and Notice Waivers. Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of
intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, and all other
notices or demands of any kind (including, without limitation, notice of the
acceptance by Lender and Lender of this Guaranty, notice of the existence,
creation, non-payment, or non-performance of any or all Obligations), excepting
only notices specifically provided for in the Guaranty.

b. Waiver of Acts and Omissions. Guarantor waives any defense to enforcement of
the Guarantor Obligations or any Liens and Encumbrances granted by Guarantor
based on acts and omissions of Lender.

c. Waiver of Certain Statutory Provisions. Guarantor further agrees that nothing
contained herein shall prevent Lender from suing on the Note or from exercising
any rights available under any of the Loan Documents and that the exercise of
any of such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of
Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby
expressly waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code
(“CC”), Sections 2787-2855, inclusive, and 2899, 2953 and 3433, including,
without limitation, the right to require Lender to (i) proceed against Borrower,
(ii) proceed against or exhaust any security or collateral Lender may hold, or
(iii) pursue any other right or remedy for the benefit of Guarantor. Guarantor
hereby expressly waives any and all benefits and defenses under (A) California
Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) Section 580a which would otherwise limit
Guarantor’s liability after a non-judicial foreclosure sale to the difference
between the obligations guaranteed herein and the value of the property or
interest sold at such non-judicial foreclosure sale as determined by a fair
value hearing or otherwise, (B) CCP Sections 580b and 580d, which would
otherwise limit Lender’s right to recover a deficiency judgment with respect to
purchase money obligations and after a non-judicial foreclosure sale,
respectively, and (C) CCP Section 726 which, among other things, would otherwise
require Lender to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment may be
obtained or a deficiency judgment may be pursued and would limit Guarantor’s
liability after a judicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the
obligations guaranteed herein and the fair value of the property or interest
sold at such judicial foreclosure sale. Notwithstanding any foreclosure of the
lien of any deed of trust or security agreement with respect to any or all real
or personal property secured thereby, whether by the
3

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

exercise of the power of sale contained therein, by an action for judicial
foreclosure, or by an acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and
notwithstanding enforcement of any other guaranty executed in connection with
the Loan Documents, Guarantor shall remain bound under this Guaranty. Guarantor
acknowledges that it has been made aware of the provisions of CC Section 2856,
has read and understands the provisions of that statute, has been advised by its
counsel as to the scope, purpose and effect of that statute, and based thereon,
without limiting any other waivers herein, Guarantor hereby gives the following
waivers with respect to, and as described in, CC Sections 2856(c) and (d):

(c) . . . “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:
(1) The creditor may collect from the guarantor without first foreclosing on any
real or personal property pledged by the debtor;
(2) If the creditor forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the
debtor:
(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.
(B) 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.

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. These
rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses
based on Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the Code of Civil Procedure.”

(d) . . . “Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election
of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as
non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation,
has destroyed the guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against
the principal by operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or
otherwise.”

d. Waiver of Law and Equitable Principles Conflicting With This Guaranty.
Guarantor waives any and all provisions of law and equitable principles that
conflict with this Guaranty.

e. Waiver of Any Obligation of Lender to Inform Guarantor. Guarantor waives any
right to require Lender to provide to Guarantor any information concerning
performance of the Borrower Obligations, the ability of Borrower to perform the
Borrower Obligations, or any other matter, regardless of what information Lender
may have from time to time.

f. Waiver of Contribution, Exoneration, Indemnification, Reimbursement,
Subrogation, and Other Rights Against Borrower. Guarantor waives any and all
present and future claims, remedies, and rights of Guarantor against Borrower,
the Collateral, and any other property, interests in property, or rights to
property of Borrower (i) arising from any performance by Guarantor hereunder,
(ii) arising from any application of any Collateral or any other property,
interests in property, or rights to property of Guarantor to payment or
performance of the Obligations, or (iii) otherwise arising in respect of this
Guaranty, regardless of whether such claims, remedies, and rights arise under
any present or future agreement, document, or instrument or are provided by any
law, ordinance, regulation, or rule (federal, state, or local) (including,
without limitation, (A) any and all rights of contribution, exoneration,
indemnity, reimbursement, and subrogation, (B) all suretyship rights and
defenses described in CC Section 2856(a), and (C) any and all rights to
participate in the rights and remedies of Lender against Borrower and the
Collateral).

11. Waiver “Sham Guaranty” Claims. Guarantor acknowledges, agrees, and
represents and warrants to Lender that (i) Lender was not involved with,
participated in, or advised Borrower or Guarantor with respect to the ownership
and management structure of Borrower and that such structure was previously
created by Borrower
4

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

and/or Guarantor based upon their own decisions and otherwise based on
independent advice obtained by them from their own counsel and consultants,
which reasons included separating Guarantor from any liability that may be
incurred by Borrower in the conduct and operation of its business, (ii)
Guarantor is not, has not nor has ever been intended to be primarily obligated
with Borrower with respect to the Loan, whether at law, contractor or equity,
and the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty are
separate and independent of Borrower, and (iii) Guarantor hereby waives any
right to claim to the contrary, including without limitation, any right to claim
as a defense to the validity, enforceability or collectability of this Guaranty
as against Guarantor that this Guaranty is a “sham guaranty”.

12. Waiver of Setoff and Counterclaim. Guarantor waives all rights to interpose
any setoffs or counterclaims of any nature in any action or proceeding
instituted by Lender with respect to this Guaranty, the collateral therefor, or
any matter arising therefrom or relating thereto and the posting of any bond
which may otherwise be required, and waives any and all benefits of
cross-demands pursuant to section 431.70 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure.

13. Waiver of Other Rights and Claims. Guarantor waives any and all present and
future rights (a) to participate in the rights and remedies of Lender against
Borrower or any other Third Party, the Collateral or any other Third Party
Assets, (b) to require marshaling of assets or to require realization on the
Collateral or any portion thereof, or in any particular order, priority or
timing and (c) any right to designate the portion of the Obligations that are to
be satisfied as a result of a partial payment thereof, whether by Guarantor
pursuant to this Guaranty or otherwise by any Third Party, including any right
to do so under CC Section 2822.

14. Guarantor waives any defense to enforcement of the Guarantor Obligations or
any liens and encumbrances granted by Guarantor based on acts and omissions of
Lender.

15. Guarantor waives any and all provisions of law and equitable principles that
conflict with this Guaranty.

16. Guarantor may not assign this Guaranty without Bank’s prior written consent;
Bank may only assign any Obligation and/or this Guaranty as provided in the
Credit Agreement, and if it does so, this Guaranty continues without
interruption and remains valid, in full force and effect, and enforceable
against Guarantor by the party to whom it is assigned.

17. If Guarantor makes payment(s) to Bank under this Guaranty such that the
Obligations are fully or partially paid and Guarantor is partially or fully
discharged under this Guaranty, and later such payment is invalidated, found to
be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, and/or required to be disgorged by
Bank, then this Guaranty will be automatically re-instated and will remain in
full force and effect as if Guarantor was never discharged until all Obligations
have been fully and finally paid.

18. Guarantor continuously and irrevocably authorizes Bank to obtain from and
provide to third persons any and all types and kinds of information concerning
Guarantor, whether from Bank's direct actual experience or obtained from other
sources. Bank will not sell Guarantor’s personal information received in
connection herewith to unrelated third parties for marketing or sales purposes.

19. This Guaranty is in addition to, and does not supercede or in any way
affect, any other Guaranty or surety-type agreement executed by Guarantor,
whether singly or as a co-party to such agreement.

20. This Guaranty will remain in full force and effect until forty-eight hours
after Bank receives written notice of termination or modification from
Guarantor. Such notice:

a. Must be sent to such offices as Bank may designate from time to time;
b. Will not operate to release Guarantor or his estate from liability under this
Guaranty with respect to any Obligations incurred prior to the effective date of
such notice.
5

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

21. Except as noted above, Bank has made no promises to Borrower or Guarantor to
induce execution of this Guaranty, and there are no other agreements or
understandings, either oral or in writing, between Bank and Guarantor affecting
this Guaranty.

22. Any and all amendments to this Guaranty must be in writing and signed by
Guarantor and Bank.

23. This Guaranty binds and inures to the benefit of the successors and assigns
of Guarantor and Bank, respectively.

24. If any part of this Guaranty is not valid or enforceable according to
applicable law, all other parts will remain valid and enforceable.

25. This Guaranty will be governed by and construed under the laws of the state
of New York.

26. The liability of all parties signing this Guaranty, where more than one, is
joint and several.

27. Guarantor has read all of the terms and conditions of this Guaranty, has
consulted with legal or other advisors or has been given an opportunity to do
so, and freely and voluntarily gives this Guaranty to the Bank.

28. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which are taken together shall constitute
one and the same agreement.
