permit the liability of said party or parties to terminate without affecting the liability of any other party or parties liable thereon. 
 8. Amendment Not a Novation; Ratification. This Amendment is an extension and deferment only, and not a novation. Except as modified by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deeds of Trust and

pay all amounts of principal and interest, late charges, and other sums which may now or hereafter become due and owing under the Note, as amended herein, and all taxes, insurance premiums and other sums that may be due and payable under the
provisions of the Deed of Trust, as amended, and other Security Documents; Owner acknowledges and admits the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, as amended herein, and unconditionally promises and agrees to pay the same with interest thereon within
the time and in the manner required in the Note, as amended herein, together with attorney’s fees, costs of collection, and any other sums secured by the Deed of Trust, as amended, and other Security Documents; and Owner further acknowledges
and agrees that upon any default or Event of Default under the Agreement, the Note or any of the Security Documents from and after the date of this Amendment, Lender, in addition to any other rights it may have under the Loan Instruments, at law or
in equity, shall have the right to declare the entire unpaid balance of principal and interest under the Note immediately due and payable. 
 (b) Owner, on behalf of itself and on behalf of its members, managers, principals, guarantors, agents, employees, heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Owner Parties”),
and each of them and anyone claiming through or under them, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Lender and its principals, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Lender
Parties”) and each of them, of and from any and all claims, causes of action in law or equity, suits, debts, liens, obligations, promises, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature, character and description
whatsoever in existence as of the execution of this Amendment, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which the Owner Parties, or any of them, may have or may hereafter acquire against the Lender Parties, and each of them, based on or arising out of
the Note, the Agreement, the Security Documents, and the transactions contemplated by said documents, existing prior to the date of this Amendment. With respect to the foregoing release, Owner, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Owner Parties,
and each of them, hereby acknowledges and waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: 
 “A general
release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 Owner acknowledges that it has been advised or has had the opportunity to be advised by its attorneys concerning the
foregoing, and in light thereof, expressly acknowledges the aforementioned waiver and release of any and all rights it may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 or any other State or Federal statute or legal principle of similar effect
with respect to the foregoing. 
 (c) In further consideration of the extension of the “Maturity Date” under the
Note, the provisions of Section 3504 of the Commercial Code of California requiring 

  

 6 

 
presentment of said Note to Owner, demand of payment, protest, notice, notice of dishonor, and notice of nonpayment are hereby waived. 
 8. Independent Security. Owner hereby agrees that any and all security for the Note, including without limitation the Deed of Trust, may be
enforced by Lender concurrently or independently in such order as Lender may determine; and with reference to any such security in addition to the Deed of Trust, Lender may, without consent of or notice to Owner, exchange, substitute or release such
security without affecting the liability of Owner, and Lender may release any one or more parties hereto or to the above obligation, or permit the liability of said party or parties to terminate without affecting the liability of any other party or
parties liable thereon. 
 9. Amendment Not a Novation; Ratification. This Amendment is an extension and deferment only, and
not a novation. Except as modified by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Note, the Agreement and each and all of the Security Documents are hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects by the parties hereto, and shall remain binding and
controlling on the parties. 
 10. Miscellaneous. Owner and Lender agree to deliver such additional documents and instruments
and to do or cause to be done such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to assure the parties hereto of the benefit of the agreements contained in this Amendment. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof. Each of the parties to this Amendment acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to seek legal advice as to the terms of this Amendment, and this Amendment shall be construed fairly as to each of the
parties, regardless of which party prepared this Amendment. Neither this Amendment nor any of the provisions hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement
of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. No waiver of any right hereunder shall constitute waiver of any other or future right. In any dispute arising out of or related to this Amendment or any of the terms and provisions contained
herein, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party, in addition to any other relief, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party in connection with said dispute. All provisions of
this Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the date first above
written.
