recourse against Guarantor shall be against the Collateral in an amount not to
exceed $1,000,000. The guaranty of Guarantor under this Agreement is a guaranty
of payment and performance and not merely of collection or enforceability and
shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations are
indefeasibly paid in full. Guarantor agrees that:

<PAGE>

               (a) The obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement shall be
               performed without demand by Lender and shall be unconditional
               irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or
               enforceability of the Note, or any other Loan Document, and
               without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise
               constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a
               guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives any and all benefits and
               defenses under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that
               by doing so Guarantor shall be liable even if Borrower had no
               liability at the time of execution of the Note or any other Loan
               Document, or thereafter ceases to be liable. Guarantor hereby
               waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil
               Code Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so Guarantor's
               liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that
               of Borrower. 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 Agreement and
               agrees that Guarantor's obligations shall not be affected by any
               circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Agreement,
               which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge
               of a surety or a guarantor. 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. Without limiting the
               generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby waives, to the
               fullest extent permitted by law, diligence in collecting the
               Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all
               notices with respect to the Note and this Agreement which may be
               required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve
               Lender's rights against Guarantor under this Agreement, including
               notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan
               Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of
               Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration,
               notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and
               notice of the incurring by Borrower of any obligation or
               indebtedness. Guarantor also waives, to the fullest extent
               permitted by law, all rights to require Lender to (i) proceed
               against Borrower, (ii) if Borrower is a partnership, proceed
               against any general partner of Borrower, (iii) proceed against or
               exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the repayment of
               the Obligations, or (iv) pursue any other remedy it may now or
               hereafter have against Borrower, or, if Borrower is a
               partnership, any general partner of Borrower, including any and
               all benefits under California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849 and
               2850.

               (b) Guarantor understands that the exercise by Lender of certain
               rights and remedies afforded Lender in other Loan Documents may
               affect or eliminate Guarantor's right of subrogation against
               Borrower and that Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or
               totally nonreimbursable liability under this Agreement.
               Nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Lender to
               exercise, in its sole and absolute discretion, any

<PAGE>

                  right or remedy, or any combination thereof, which may then be
                  available, since it is the intent and purpose of Guarantor
                  that the obligations under this Agreement shall be absolute,
                  independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
                  Guarantor expressly waives any defense (which defense, if
                  Guarantor had not given this waiver, Guarantor might otherwise
                  have) to a judgment against Guarantor by reason of a
                  nonjudicial foreclosure. Without limiting the generality of
                  the foregoing, Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all
                  benefits under (i) California Code of Civil Procedure Section
                  580a (which Section, if Guarantor had not given this waiver,
                  would otherwise limit Guarantor's liability after a
                  nonjudicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the
                  obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement and the fair
                  market value of the property or interests sold at such
                  nonjudicial foreclosure sale), (ii) California Code of Civil
                  Procedure Sections 580b and 580d (which Sections, if Guarantor
                  had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit Lender's
                  right to recover a deficiency judgment with respect to
                  purchase money obligations and after a nonjudicial foreclosure
                  sale, respectively), and (iii) California Code of Civil
                  Procedure Section 726 (which Section, if Guarantor had not
                  given this waiver, among other things, would otherwise require
                  Lender to exhaust all of its security before a personal
                  judgment could be obtained for a deficiency). Notwithstanding
                  any foreclosure of the lien of the ARV PIII Pledge Agreement
                  or the SGRV Pledge Agreement, whether by the exercise of the
                  power of sale contained in the ARV PIII Pledge Agreement or
                  the SGRV Pledge Agreement or by an action for judicial
                  foreclosure, Guarantor shall remain bound under this
                  Agreement.

                  (c) In accordance with California Civil Code Section 2856,
                  Guarantor also waives any right or defense based upon an
                  election of remedies by Lender, even though such election
                  (e.g., nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any collateral
                  held by Lender to secure repayment of the Obligations)
                  destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of
                  Guarantor or the right of Guarantor (after payment of the
                  obligations guaranteed by Guarantor under this Agreement) to
                  proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, or both, by
                  operation of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580d
                  or otherwise.

                  (d) In accordance with California Civil Code Section 2856,
                  Guarantor waives any and all other rights and defenses
                  available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code
                  Sections 2787 through 2855, inclusive, including any and all
                  rights or defenses Guarantor may have by reason of protection
                  afforded to Borrower with respect to any of the obligations of
                  Guarantor under this Agreement pursuant to the antideficiency
                  or other laws of the State of California limiting or
                  discharging Borrower's Obligations, including California Code
                  of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, and 726.

<PAGE>

                    (e) In accordance with California Civil Code Section 2856,
                    Guarantor agrees to withhold the exercise of any and all
                    subrogation and reimbursement rights against Borrower,
                    against any other person, and against any collateral or
                    security for the Obligations, including any such rights
                    pursuant to California Civil Code Sections 2847 and 2848,
                    until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and
                    satisfied in full, all obligations owed to Lender under the
                    Loan Documents have been fully performed, and Lender has
                    released, transferred or disposed of all of its right, title
                    and interest in such collateral or security.

                    (f) At any time or from time to time and any number of
                    times, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting the
                    liability of Guarantor, (i) the time for payment of the
                    principal of or interest on the Obligations may be extended
                    or the Obligations may be renewed in whole or in part; (ii)
                    the time for Borrower's performance of or compliance with
                    any covenant or agreement contained in the Note or any other
                    Loan Document, whether presently existing or hereinafter
                    entered into, may be extended or such performance or
                    compliance may be waived; (iii) the maturity of the
                    Obligations may be accelerated as provided in the Note or
                    any other Loan Document; (iv) the Note or any other Loan
                    Document may be modified or amended by Lender and Borrower
                    in any respect, including an increase in the principal
                    amount; and (v) any security for the Obligations may be
                    modified, exchanged, surrendered or otherwise dealt with or
                    additional security may be pledged or mortgaged for the
                    Obligations.

                    (g) If more than one person executes this Agreement, the
                    obligations of those persons under this Agreement shall be
                    joint and several. Lender, in its discretion, may (i) bring
                    suit against Guarantor, or any one or more of the persons
                    constituting Guarantor, jointly and severally, or against
                    any one or more of them; (ii) compromise or settle with any
                    one or more of the persons constituting Guarantor, or any
                    other obligor of the Obligations, including Borrower, for
                    such consideration as Lender may deem proper; (iii) release
                    one or more of the persons constituting Guarantor, or any
                    other obligor of the Obligations, including Borrower, from
                    liability; and (iv) otherwise deal with Guarantor and any
                    other obligor of the obligations, including Borrower, or any
                    one or more of them, in any manner, and no such action shall
                    impair the rights of Lender to collect from Guarantor any
                    amount guaranteed by Guarantor under this Agreement. Nothing
                    contained in this paragraph shall in any way affect or
                    impair the rights or obligations of Guarantor with respect
                    to any other obligor of the Obligations.

                    (h) Any indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor now or in
                    the future is and shall be subordinated to the Obligations
                    and any such indebtedness of Borrower shall be collected,
                    enforced and received by


<PAGE>

                  Guarantor, as trustee for Lender, but without reducing or
                  affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the
                  other provisions of this Agreement.

                  (i) Guarantor shall have no right of, and hereby waives any
                  claim for, subrogation or reimbursement against Borrower or
                  any general partner of Borrower by reason of any payment by
                  Guarantor under this Agreement, whether such right or claim
                  arises at law or in equity or under any contract or statute,
                  until the Obligations have been paid in full and there has
                  expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which
                  any payment made by Borrower to Lender with respect to the
                  Obligations could be deemed a preference under the United
                  States Bankruptcy Code.

                  (j) If any payment by Borrower is held to constitute a
                  preference under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or
                  similar laws, or if for any other reason Lender is required to
                  refund any sums to Borrower, such refund shall not constitute
                  a release of any liability of Guarantor under this Agreement.
                  It is the intention of Lender and Guarantor that Guarantor's
                  obligations under this Agreement shall not be discharged
                  except by Guarantor's performance of such obligations and then
                  only to the extent of such performance.

                                     DEFAULT

     The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute

the date of written notice thereof by Lender to Guarantor (or, whenever such a
failure is such that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days after Guarantor
is given notice thereof, then within sixty (60) days from the date after
Guarantor is given notice thereof if, in the sole but reasonable discretion of
Lender, Guarantor is taking appropriate corrective action to cure the failure

obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or otherwise
adversely affects Lender's security in or right to the Collateral).

Event of Default (as defined in the Deed of Trust) occurs, or subject to
applicable notice and cure periods provided therein, if Borrower or Guarantor,

the date as of which made;

     SECTION 5.5. Liquidation, Termination, Dissolution, etc. If Guarantor,
SGRV, ARV PIII or Borrower shall liquidate, dissolve or terminate its existence,
or if, without the prior written consent of Lender, any change occurs in the

     SECTION 5.6. Inability to Pay Debts. If Guarantor, Borrower, SGRV or ARV

of any debts of Guarantor, Borrower, SGRV or ARV PIII, under the Bankruptcy
Code, as amended, or any part thereof, or under any other applicable laws,
whether state or federal, for the relief of debtors, now or hereafter existing,
shall be commenced against or by Guarantor, Borrower, SGRV or ARV PIII
(provided, however, that with respect to any such proceedings not instituted by

Default if discharged within ninety (90) days of their commencement);

     SECTION 5.8. Receiver. A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for
Guarantor, Borrower, SGRV or ARV PIII or for any substantial part of the assets
of Guarantor, Borrower, SGRV or ARV PIII, or any proceedings shall be instituted

Borrower, SGRV or ARV PIII (provided, however, that with respect to any such
appointments not requested or instituted by Guarantor, Borrower, SGRV or ARV
PIII, such appointment or proceedings will not be an Event of Default if such
receiver or trustee is discharged within ninety (90) days of his or her
appointment and/or such proceedings are discharged within ninety (90) days of
their commencement).

                                   ARTICLE VI

                               RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

     SECTION 6.1. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default under the provisions of this Agreement, an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) total of the Obligations then outstanding (whether matured or unmatured and
regardless of whether any portion of such Obligations are then due and payable
by Borrower), or (ii) $1,000,000 (absent fraud or willful misconduct, in which
event the total amount of the Obligations then outstanding as set forth in
clause (i) above), shall immediately and automatically be due and payable by
Guarantor to Lender, without further action by, or notice of any kind from,
Lender unless expressly provided for herein, and Lender may at any time and from
time to time thereafter exercise any powers, rights and remedies available to
Lender under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
applicable laws to liquidate the Collateral, all such powers, rights and
remedies being cumulative and enforceable alternatively, successively or
concurrently. Each and every Event of Default hereunder shall give rise to a
separate cause of action hereunder, and separate actions may be brought
hereunder as each cause of action arises.

     SECTION 6.2. Application. The proceeds of any payment for the payment of
all or any part of the Obligations coming into Lender's possession may be held,
segregated, or applied by Lender to any of the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order and manner as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion.



<PAGE>


     SECTION 6.3. No Waiver, etc. No failure or delay by Lender to
insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement
of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right,
power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of
any such term, condition, covenant or agreement or of any such breach, or
preclude Lender from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later
time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable
under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not
be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all
other amounts payable under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan
Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment of
any such other amount. The payment by Guarantor, or any other Person and the
acceptance by Lender or any other amount due and payable under the provisions of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents at any time during which a default or
Event of Default exists shall not in any way or manner be construed as a waiver
of such default or Event of Default by Lender or preclude Lender from exercising
any right of power or remedy consequent upon such default or Event of Default.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 7.1. Course of Dealing; Amendment. No course of dealing between
Lender and Guarantor shall be effective to amend, modify or change any provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Lender shall have the right at
all times to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in strict accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof,
notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of Lender in refraining from
so doing at any time or times. The failure of Lender at any time or times to
enforce its rights under such provisions, strictly in accordance with the same,
shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary
to specific provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or as
having in any way or manner modified or waived the same. This Agreement may not
be amended, modified, or changed in any respect except by an agreement in
writing signed by Lender and Guarantor.

     SECTION 7.2. Waiver of Default. Lender may, at any time and from time to
time, execute and deliver to Guarantor a written instrument waiving, on such
terms and conditions as Lender may specify in such written instrument, any of
the requirements of this Agreement or any Event of Default or default and its
consequences, provided, that any such waiver shall be for such period and
subject to such conditions as shall be specified in any such instrument. In the
case of any such waiver, Guarantor and Lender shall be restored to their former
positions prior to such Event of Default or default and shall have the same
rights as they had hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Event of Default or default, or impair any right consequent thereto and
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given.


<PAGE>

     SECTION 7.3. Guaranty Absolute. All rights and remedies of Lender hereunder
and under applicable laws, the guaranty and all agreements and obligations of
Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and
shall not be released, discharged, impaired or affected by (a) any lack of
validity or enforceability of the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, (b)
any change in the amount of any or all of the Obligations or any change in the
time, manner or place of payment of any or all of the Obligations or any change
of any other provision or term of any or all of the Obligations, (c) any
amendment to, or modification or waiver of, consent to, or departure from, any
of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, (d) any exchange, substitution,
release, addition or non-perfection of any collateral and security for any of
the Obligations, (e) the release of, in whole or in part, any Person, including,
without limitation, Borrower or Guarantor, obligated or liable for the payment
of all or any part of the Obligations or any attempt, pursuit, enforcement or
exhaustion of any rights or remedies Lender may have against any such Person or
against any collateral and security for any or all of the Obligations, (f) the
failure, omission, lack of diligence or delay by Lender to exercise or enforce
any rights and remedies it may have under any of the Loan Documents or
applicable laws, and (g) any other event or circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of Guarantor or of
the Collateral.

     SECTION 7.4. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given or made when
delivered by hand, or when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, or, in the case of telegraphic
notice, when delivered to the telegraphic company and when properly transmitted,
addressed as provided under the Deed of Trust (the address of the Guarantor
shall for all notice purposes be the same as the Borrower's address set forth in
the Deed of Trust).

     SECTION 7.5. Enforcement Costs. Guarantor shall pay to Lender upon demand
all Enforcement Costs. Enforcement Costs shall be included in the Obligations
secured hereby.

     SECTION 7.6. Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
(a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such
jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of Lender in order to
carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible, (b)
the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction, and (c) the parties hereto shall endeavor, in good faith,
negotiations to replace the invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid and
enforceable provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible
to that of the invalid or unenforceable provisions.

     SECTION 7.7. Assignment. Lender may, without prior notice to, or consent
of, Guarantor, sell, assign or transfer to any Person or Persons all or any part
of the Obligations, and in the event of any such assignment and rights and
remedies of Lender hereunder shall extend to, and vest in, any such assignee or
assignees who shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement
as fully as Lender, provided that Lender shall continue to have the unimpaired
right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement as to so much of

<PAGE>

the Obligations that it has not sold, assigned or transferred. Guarantor will
fully cooperate with Lender in connection with any such assignment and will
execute and deliver such consents and acceptances to any such assignment and
amendments to this Agreement in order to effect any such assignment (including,
without limitation, the appointment of Lender as agent for itself and all
assignees).

     SECTION 7.8. Survival. All representations, warranties and covenants
contained among the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 7.9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of Guarantor and Lender and their respective personal
representatives, successors and assigns, except that Guarantor shall not have
the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the
prior written consent of Lender.

     SECTION 7.10. Continuing Agreement. This Agreement shall be continuing and
binding on Guarantor regardless of how long before or after the date hereof any
of the Obligations were or are incurred. This Agreement shall terminate when all
of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and no commitments
therefor are outstanding.

     SECTION 7.11. Applicable Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations
of the parties hereunder shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of California, both in interpretation and performance.

     SECTION 7.12. Exhibits and Schedules. Any exhibits and schedules attached
to this Agreement are an integral part hereof and are hereby incorporated herein
and included in the term "this Agreement."

     SECTION 7.13. Headings. Article, Section, paragraph, and clause headings in
this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only, shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose, and shall not be
deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

     SECTION 7.14. Jurisdiction and Venue. Guarantor agrees that any controversy
arising under or in relation to this Agreement shall be litigated exclusively in
Ventura County, California (the "the Jurisdiction"). The state and federal
courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Jurisdiction shall have
exclusive jurisdiction over all controversies which shall arise under or in
relation to this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document. Guarantor
irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any
such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by
virtue of domicile, habitual residence, or otherwise.
