Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Redemption Price or to require that all collateral shall continue to
secure all of the obligations owed to the Class A Member in accordance with the Transaction Documents.


 


Section
1.2          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 any Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising
or created after any attempted revocation by any Guarantor and after (if such Guarantor is a natural person) such Guarantor’s
death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon such Guarantor’s estate and such 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 any Guarantor to the Class A Member with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may
be enforced by the Class A Member and any subsequent holder of the Class A Member’s Interest and shall not be discharged
by the assignment of all or part of such Interest.


 


Section
1.3          Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset.
The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantors to the Class A Member hereunder shall not be reduced,
discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of the Class A Member, the Company,
any Subsidiary or any other party against the Class B Member 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.

or otherwise, Guarantors shall, immediately upon demand by the Class A Member 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 the Class A Member
at the Class A Member’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.


 


Section
1.5           No Duty To Pursue Others.
It shall not be necessary for the Class A Member (and each Guarantor hereby waives any rights which such Guarantor may have to
require the Class A Member), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantors hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust
its remedies against the Company or others liable for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, including, without limitation,
any general partner of any of the foregoing which is a partnership, (ii) declare a Changeover Event, (iii) enforce the
Class A Member’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the obligations owed to the Class

which is a partnership, (v) join the Class B Member, the Company or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any
action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (vi) exhaust any remedies available to the Class A Member under the Transaction Documents,
or (vii) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, to the extent California
law is deemed to apply notwithstanding the choice of law set forth herein, any of the foregoing which may be available to the Class
A Member by virtue of California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849, and 2850. The Class A Member shall not be required to mitigate
damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.


 


Section
1.6           Waivers. Each
Guarantor acknowledges receipt of copies of the Operating Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and hereby waives notice
of (i) any loans or advances (including advances of Protective Capital) made by the Class A Member to the Company, (ii) acceptance
of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment of any Transaction Document or extension of the Mandatory Redemption Date, (iv) the
occurrence of any breach by the Class B Member or the Company under the Operating Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
or the declaration of a Changeover Event, (v) the Class A Member’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or any part thereof, (vi) protest, proof of non-payment or default by the Class B Member or the Company, or (vii) any
other action at any time taken or omitted by the Class A Member and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection
with this Guaranty, the Transaction Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed.

upon demand by the Class A Member, pay the Class A Member all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and


 




    	-5-



    	 



    

 


expenses
(including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Class A Member in the enforcement hereof or the preservation
of the Class A Member’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance
of the Guaranteed Obligations.

1.8          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, the Class A Member must rescind or restore any payment or any part thereof received by the Class
A Member in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this
Guaranty given to Guarantors by the Class A Member shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated
to be) in full force and effect. It is the intention of the Guarantors that Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall not be
discharged (other than as expressly set forth herein) except by Guarantors’ performance of such obligations and then only
to the extent of such performance.


 


Section
1.9          Waiver and Postponement of Subrogation, Reimbursement
and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, each
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to postpone the exercise of and, until the Redemption Price has been paid
in full (subject to the terms of Section 6.14 regarding reinstatement of this Guaranty), does hereby irrevocably waive and
defer any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation,
any law subrogating Guarantors’ rights to the rights of the Class A Member), to assert any claim against or seek contribution,
indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other party liable to the
Class A Member for the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantors under or in connection
with this Guaranty or otherwise; provided that, for clarity, such postponement and waiver shall only be in effect until the Redemption
Price has been paid in full (subject to the terms of Section 6.14 regarding reinstatement of this Guaranty).


 


Section
1.10        Limitations on Liability of Guarantors.


 


(a)          As
used herein, a “Guarantor Affiliate” shall mean any Guarantor, the Class B Member and/or any other Person
that either (or both) (a) is in Control of, is Controlled by or is under common Control with (i) any Guarantor or (ii) any
general partner or managing member of, or other Person or Persons Controlling, any Guarantor (each a “Clause (a) Person”),
or (b) is either (1) a Person that owns directly or indirectly thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the direct or indirect equity
interests in any Guarantor or any other Clause (a) Person, or (2) a Person with respect to which either (or a combination) of the
Guarantors directly or indirectly owns thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the direct or indirect equity interests in such Person,
or (3) a Person with respect to which any combination of Guarantors and Clause (a) Persons own, directly or indirectly, fifty-one
percent (51%) or more of the direct or indirect voting equity interests in such Person. In addition to, and without limiting, the
foregoing, if a direct or indirect interest in a loan secured by direct or indirect interests in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is held by a Guarantor Affiliate, the related lender will be deemed a Guarantor Affiliate unless such Guarantor Affiliate is a
Disabled Participant (as defined below) and one or more other holders of substantial interests in such loan that are not Guarantor
Affiliates control the administration of such loan and the enforcement of the rights and remedies of such lender. A


 




    	-6-



    	 



    

 


Guarantor Affiliate is
a “Disabled Participant” with respect to a loan if it has no right to exercise any voting or other control
rights with respect to such loan (other than the right to approve amendments to the material economic terms of such loan).


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in the other Transaction Documents, in the event of the declaration of a Changeover Event, then
Guarantors shall not have any liability hereunder for any Losses arising from any circumstance, condition, action or event first
occurring after the date of the declaration of a Changeover Event and not caused by the acts of either of the Guarantors or any
other Guarantor Affiliate; provided that (i) Guarantors shall remain liable hereunder that arise from any action or event
prior to the date of the declaration of a Changeover Event and (ii) if, following the declaration of a Changeover Event, an arbitration
panel appointed pursuant to Section 12.10 of the Operating Agreement determines that such Changeover Event has not occurred pursuant
to Section 3.5 of the Operating Agreement, then the Guarantors shall continue to be fully liable for all of its obligations hereunder
(other than any liabilities caused solely by the actions of the Class A Member taken on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
following such declaration of a Changeover Event).


 


(c)          At
any time prior to the declaration of a Changeover Event, Guarantors shall be entitled to request and Class A Member agrees to grant
the release of any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder so long as, following such release, the remaining Guarantor(s) collectively
and not individually continue(s) to satisfy the Net Worth Threshold and Liquid Assets Threshold requirements set forth in Section
5.2 hereof. In connection with any release of a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), the Class A Member shall
execute and deliver a release of such Guarantor from all liability in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.


 


(d)          Subject
to the reinstatement of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 6.14 hereof, this Guaranty shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the date of the payment in full of the Redemption Price; provided,
however, that the Guaranteed Obligations shall survive such termination with respect to any and all such Guaranteed Obligations
accruing prior to or arising out of or related to any circumstances, conditions, actions or events occurring or arising prior to
the date of such repayment and satisfaction, even to the extent the applicable liability, loss, cost or expense does not occur
or the applicable circumstance, condition, action or event is not discovered until after such date.

hereunder do not and will not contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which such 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, charge, lien, contract, agreement or other instrument to which such Guarantor
is a party or which may be applicable to such Guarantor. This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of each


 




    	-10-



    	 



    

 


Guarantor
and is enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws
of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.


 


Section
3.6           No Plan Assets.
No Guarantor sponsors, is obligated to contribute to, or is itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of any Guarantor constitutes or will, until the Redemption Price
has been paid in full (subject to the terms of Section 6.14 regarding reinstatement of this Guaranty), constitute “plan
assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) no Guarantor is a
“governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Guarantor are not
subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the
date hereof, none of the Guarantors, nor any member of a “controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of
Section 414 of the Code) maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section
3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).


 


Section
3.7           ERISA. No
Guarantor shall engage in any transaction, other than a transaction contemplated hereunder, which would cause any obligation, or
action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by the Class A Member of any of its rights under the Operating Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents) to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA.


 


Section
3.8           Survival.
All representations and warranties made by each Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS


 


Section
4.1           Subordination of All Guarantor Claims.
As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and
liabilities of the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to any one or more of the Guarantors, whether such debts
and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of such Person 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 or Persons 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 the applicable Guarantor or Guarantors. The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of any
one or both of the Guarantors against the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (arising as a result of subrogation
or otherwise) as a result of payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Guarantor or the Guarantors. Until
the Redemption Price shall have been paid in full (subject to the terms of Section 6.14 regarding reinstatement of this
Guaranty), no Guarantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from e Class B Member, the Company, any of the Subsidiaries
or any other Person obligated to the Class A Member any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.


 




    	-11-



    	 



    

 


Section
4.2           Claims in Bankruptcy.
In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceeding
involving any Guarantor as a debtor, the Class A Member 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. Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Class
A Member. Should the Class A Member receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which
is otherwise payable to any Guarantor and which, as between any the Class B Member or the Company and any one or more of the Guarantors,
shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon payment to the Class A Member in full of the Guaranteed Obligations,
such Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of the Class A Member to the extent that such payments to the Class A Member
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 the Class A Member had not received dividends
or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.


 


Section
4.3           Payments Held in Trust.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, in the event that any Guarantor should receive any funds,
payments, claims and/or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, such Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for the Class
A Member an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received and not previously paid
to the Class A Member, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or
distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to the Class A Member, and such
Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Class A Member.


 


Section
4.4           Liens Subordinate.
Each Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon the assets of the
Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries 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 such Person’s assets securing
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of any Guarantor or the Class A Member
presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of the Class A Member, until the Redemption
Price shall have been paid in full (subject to the terms of Section 6.14 regarding reinstatement of this Guaranty), no Guarantor
shall (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries,
or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise,
including, without limitation, the commencement of, or the 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 the assets of the Class B Member, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries held by any Guarantor.

Section
6.17        Joint and Several. The
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are joint and several.


 


Section
6.18        Certain California State Specific Provisions.



 


(a)          To
the extent California law applies, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of the Class A Member to recover in accordance
with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), any costs, expenses,
liabilities or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the Class A Member and arising from any
covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any indemnity agreement given to the Class A Member, or
any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity
Agreement) or any other “environmental provision” (as defined in such Section 736) relating to any Property or
any portion thereof.


 


(b)          To
the extent California law applies, in addition to and not in lieu of any other provisions of this Guaranty (provided, however,
that in the case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 6.18(b) and the other provisions
of this Guaranty as to any subject matter described in this Section 6.18(b), such other provisions shall control), each
Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:


 


(c)          The
obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be performed without demand by the Class A Member and shall be unconditional
irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Operating Agreement or any of


 




    	-19-



    	 



    

 


the other Transaction
Documents, and without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety
or a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2810 and
agrees that by doing so such Guarantor shall be liable even if neither the Company nor the Class B Member had no liability at the
time of execution of the Transaction Documents, or thereafter ceases to be liable. Each Guarantor hereby waives any and all benefits
and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so such Guarantor’s liability may be
larger in amount and more burdensome than that of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Guarantor hereby waives the benefit
of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty
and agrees that such Guarantor’s obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this
Guaranty which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives
the benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to guarantors or sureties and any other
rights of sureties and guarantors thereunder.


 


(d)          In
accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, each Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out
of an election of remedies by the Class A Member even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with
respect to security for guaranteed obligations, has destroyed or otherwise impaired such 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.
Each Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Class A Member to exercise, in its sole and absolute discretion, any right or
remedy, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of each Guarantor that the
obligations under this Guaranty shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Specifically,
and without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby waives any rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution
or reimbursement arising under Sections 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the California Civil Code or any other right of recourse
to or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any general partner, member or other constituent of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, any other person obligated to the Class A Member with respect to the matters set forth herein, or the
assets or property of any of the foregoing until the Redemption Price has been paid in full and all obligations of the Company
and its Affiliates under the Transaction Documents have been fully performed, and there has expired the maximum possible period
thereafter during which any payment made by the Company or others to the Class A Member with respect to such obligations could
be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the foregoing, subject to the foregoing limitations,
each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation against the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, and each Guarantor
hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which the Class A Member may have against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.


 


(e)          In
addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of the Company
and each Subsidiary now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor to all the indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary to the Class
A Member and agrees with the Class A Member that until the Redemption Price has been paid in full and all obligations owed to the
Class A Member under


 




    	-20-



    	 



    

 


the Transaction Documents
have been fully performed, and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by the Company
or others to the Class A Member with respect to such obligations could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy
Code, no Guarantor shall demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or claim
any offset or other reduction of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness. If any amount shall
nevertheless be paid to an Guarantor by the Company or any Subsidiary or another guarantor prior to payment in full of the Redemption
Price, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Class A Member and shall forthwith be paid to the Class A Member
to be credited and applied to the Unrecovered Capital. Further, no Guarantor shall have any right of recourse against the Class
A Member by reason of any action the Class A Member may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Guaranty or under the
provisions of any of the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence in collecting the obligations owed to the Class A Member under the Transaction
Documents, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to the Operating Agreement, this Guaranty, or any
other Transaction Document which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve the Class A Member’s rights
against such Guarantor under this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the
Transaction Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice
of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the incurring by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of
any obligation or indebtedness.


 


(f)          Without
limiting the foregoing, but subject to the same limitations set forth above, each Guarantor waives (i) all rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to any Guarantor
by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, including any and all rights or defenses such Guarantor may
have by reason of protection afforded to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any of the obligations of any Guarantor
under this Guaranty by reason of a nonjudicial foreclosure or pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of the State of California
limiting or discharging the obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726 (which Section,
if such Guarantor had not given this waiver, among other things, would otherwise require the Class A Member to exhaust all of its
security before a personal judgment could be obtained for a deficiency).


 


(g)          Likewise,
each Guarantor waives (i) any and all rights and defenses available to such Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2899
and 3433; and (ii) any rights or defenses such Guarantor may have with respect to its obligations as a guarantor by reason
of any election of remedies by the Class A Member. 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 Procedure.
