time.

 2.4 Except as set forth in Section 5, in the event that Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 2.2(f) or 2.2(g),
neither Employer nor Employee shall have any remaining duties or obligations under this Agreement, except that Employer shall pay to Employee, or her representatives, the amounts set forth in Section 2.3 at the times set forth in Section 2.3 and the
following (provided that payments for health insurance coverage shall be made to an insurance provider):

month period succeeding the Termination Date (with such health insurance coverage to be at a level and quality

Employer agrees to transmit following the Termination Date a request (and to join in such request) from Employee to Employer’s then group health insurance carrier seeking approval to maintain Employee’s coverage for such period under
Employer’s group plan as though Employee were still employed and without reference to COBRA; provided that i) Employer makes no representation concerning any future health insurance carrier’s willingness to consent to such additional
coverage; ii) Employer undertakes no obligation to secure such consent. In the event that such consent is not forthcoming, then Employee’s continuation coverage shall be subject to COBRA. Employer shall pay such premiums only so long as (during
said 18 month period) Employee remains eligible for such Equivalent Coverage; 
  
 (c) Stock Options to be determined and paid as follows:

consideration for payment of such amount or benefit, sign and deliver to Employer (against the execution and delivery of the same by the other parties thereto) the form of Waiver and Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. Such Waiver

Code Section 2800. 
  
 2.6 This Agreement shall
not be terminated by Employer merging with or otherwise being acquired by another entity, whether or not Employer is the surviving entity, or by Employer transferring of all or substantially all of its assets (any such event, an
“Acquisition”). 
  
 2.7 In the event of
any Acquisition, the surviving entity or transferee, as the case may be, shall be bound by and shall have the benefits of this Agreement, and Employer 

  

 -5- 

 
shall not enter into any Acquisition unless the surviving entity or transferee, as the case may be, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

business organization, entity or enterprise (whether as an employee, officer, director, member, agent, security holder, creditor, consultant or otherwise) that engages in any activity in those geographic areas where Employer conducts the Business,
which activity is the same as, similar to, or competitive with any activity engaged in by Employer (REIT, mortgage banking and wholesale lending operations for sub prime and Alt-A residential loans or such other business as Employer may engage in).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may elect at any point during the Post-Termination Payment Period to forego any future remaining payments or benefits payable under Section 2.4, in which case the limitations set forth in this Section 5.1
shall terminate at the time of such election. 
  
 5.2 Nothing contained in Section 5 shall be deemed to preclude Employee from purchasing or owning, directly or beneficially, as a passive investment, less than five percent of any class of publicly traded securities of any entity so long as

Exhibit C (the “Proprietary Rights and Inventions Agreement”). 
  

	 	8.	Copies of Agreement. 

  
 Employee authorizes Employer to send a copy of the Proprietary Rights and Inventions Agreement to any and all future employers which Employee may have,
and to any and all persons, firms, and corporations, with whom Employee may become affiliated in a business or commercial enterprise, and to inform any and all such employers, persons, firms or corporations that Employer intends to exercise its
legal rights should Employee breach the terms of the 

  

 -8- 

 
Proprietary Rights and Inventions Agreement or should another party induce a breach of that agreement on Employee’s part. 
  

	 	9.	Severable Provisions. 

  
 The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions is determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in
part, the remaining provisions, and any partially unenforceable provisions to the extent enforceable, shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable. 
  

	 	10.	Arbitration. 

  
 To the fullest extent allowed by law, any controversy, claim or dispute between Employee and Employer (or any of its stockholders, directors, officers,
employees, affiliates, agents, successors or assigns) relating to or arising out of Employee’s employment or the cessation of that employment will be submitted to final and binding arbitration in Orange County, California for determination in
accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes, as the exclusive remedy for such controversy, claim or dispute. In any such arbitration, the parties may conduct
discovery to the same extent as would be permitted in a court of law. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision, and shall have full authority to award all remedies which would be available in court. The arbitrator shall be required to determine
all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. Employer shall pay the arbitrator’s fees and any AAA administrative expenses. In the event Employee files a claim to collect unpaid payments or
benefits payable under Section 2.4, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Any judgment upon the award rendered by, the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Possible
disputes covered by the above include unpaid wages, breach of contract, torts, violation of public policy, discrimination, harassment, or any other employment-related claims under laws including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the
Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, and any other federal or state constitutional provisions, statutes or laws relating to an
employee’s relationship with her employer. However, claims for workers’ compensation benefits and unemployment insurance (or any other claims where mandatory arbitration is prohibited by law) are not covered by this arbitration agreement,
and such claims may be presented to the appropriate court or government agency. BY AGREEING TO THIS MUTUAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, BOTH EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYER GIVE UP ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. This arbitration policy is to be construed
as broadly as is permissible under relevant law. EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE HAVE READ THIS SECTION 9 AND IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE IDENTIFIED ABOVE.

substantial and irreparable damage to Employer in an amount and of a character difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, to prevent any such breach or threatened breach, and in addition to any other relief to which Employer may otherwise be entitled,
Employer will be entitled to immediate temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief through appropriate legal proceedings in any arbitration, without proof of actual damages that have been incurred or may be incurred by Employer with
respect to such breach or threatened breach. Employee expressly agrees that Employer will not be required to post any bond or other security as a condition to obtaining any injunctive relief pursuant to this Section 11, and Employee expressly waives
any right to the contrary. Employee agrees that this Section 11 is without prejudice to the rights of the parties to compel arbitration pursuant to Section 10. 
  

	 	12.	Entire Agreement. 

  
 This Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto contain the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and the parties hereto
have made no agreements, representations or warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not set forth otherwise herein or the Exhibits attached hereto. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements, written or oral,
with Employer relating to Employees employment with Employer and any other subject matter of this Agreement. Any such prior agreements are hereby terminated and of no further effect and Employee, by the execution hereof, agrees that any compensation
provided for under any such prior agreement is specifically superseded and replaced by the provision of this Agreement; subject to the following (i) this Agreement is not intended to supercede, cancel or replace any stock option or dividend
equivalent right payments that Employee may have or otherwise be entitled to receive. The parties hereto agree that in no event shall an oral modification of this Agreement be enforceable or valid. 
  

	 	13.	Governing Law. 

  
 This Agreement is and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, regardless of any laws on choice of law or
conflicts of law of any jurisdiction. 
  

	 	14.	Notice. 

  
 All notices hereunder must be in writing and shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if properly addressed and delivered personally by

limited to, any claim arising out of Employee’s termination, any express or implied agreement between Employee and Employer (other than each party’s respective rights and obligations under Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 4.1 of the Employment
Agreement, and the Proprietary Rights and Inventions Agreement), and any other federal or state constitutional provisions, statutes or laws relating to an employee’s relationship with her employer, including, but not limited to, Title VII of

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 EXHIBIT C 
  
 PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT 
  
 In consideration of my employment by Impac Funding Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), and the compensation I receive from
the Company, I agree to certain restrictions placed by the Company on my use and development of information and technology, as more fully set out below. 
  
 1. Proprietary Information. I understand that the Company possesses and will possess Proprietary Information which is important to its business.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” is information that was or will be developed, created, or discovered by or on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates or related entities, or which became or will become
known by, or was or is conveyed to the Company, which has commercial value in the Company’s business or the business of any of the Company’s affiliates or related entities, unless (i) the information is or becomes publicly known through
lawful means; (ii) the information was rightfully in my possession or part of my general knowledge prior to my employment by the Company as specifically identified and disclosed by me in Exhibit A attached hereto; or (iii) the information is
disclosed to me without confidential or proprietary restriction by a third party who rightfully possesses the information (without confidential or proprietary restriction) and who did not learn of it directly from the Company or any of its
affiliates or related entities. 
  
 Proprietary Information
includes information (whether conveyed orally or in writing) relating to (i) client/customer lists, vendor lists or other lists or compilations containing client, customer or vendor information; (ii) information about investment techniques or
strategies, investment research or analysis, business techniques or strategies, processes, costs, profits, markets, marketing plans, forecasts, sales or commissions; (iii) plans for new investment techniques and strategies; (iv) the compensation,
performance and terms of employment of other employees; (v) all other information that has been or will be given to me in confidence by the Company (or any affiliate or related entity of the Company); (vi) software in various stages of development,
and any designs, drawings, schematics, specifications, techniques, models, data, source code, algorithms, object code, documentation, diagrams, flow charts, research development, processes and procedures relating to any software; (vii) any
documents, books, papers, drawings, schematics, models, sketches, computer programs, databases or other data, including electronic data recorded or retrieved by any means, that contain any Proprietary Information; and (viii) any information
described above which the Company or any of its affiliates or related entities obtains from another party and which the Company or any of its affiliates or related entities treats as proprietary or designates as Proprietary Information. 

 
 2. Company Materials. I understand that the Company and its
affiliates and related entities possess or will possess “Company Materials” which are important to their respective businesses. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Materials” are documents or other media or tangible items
that contain or embody Proprietary Information or any other information concerning the business, operations or plans of the Company or any of its affiliates or related entities, whether such documents have been prepared by me or by others.
“Company Materials” include charts, graphs, notebooks, customer lists, computer software, media or printouts, sound 

  

 EXHIBIT C 
 -1- 

 
recordings and other printed, typewritten or handwritten documents, as well as financial models and the like. 
  
 3. Intellectual Property. 
  
 3.1 All Proprietary Information and all right, title and
interest in and to any patents, patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights, mask work rights, trade secret rights, and all other intellectual and industrial property and proprietary rights that currently exist or may exist in the future anywhere in
the world (collectively “Rights”) in connection therewith shall be the sole property of the Company or its affiliates or related entities, as the case may be. I hereby assign to the Company any Rights I may have or acquire in such
Proprietary Information. At all times, both during my employment with the Company and after its termination, I will keep in confidence and trust and will not use or disclose any Proprietary Information or anything relating to it without the prior
written consent of an officer of the Company except as may be necessary and appropriate in the ordinary course of performing my duties to the Company. The disclosure restrictions of this Agreement shall not apply to any information that I can
document is generally known to the public through no fault of mine. Nothing contained herein will prohibit me from disclosing to anyone the amount my wages. 
  
 3.2 All Company Materials shall be the sole property of the Company. I agree that during my employment with the Company, I will not remove
any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company, except as I am required to do in connection with performing the duties of my employment. I further agree
that, immediately upon the termination of my employment by me or by the Company for any reason, or for no reason, or during my employment if so requested by the Company, I will return all Company Materials, apparatus, equipment and other physical
property, and any reproduction of such property, excepting only (i) my personal copies of records relating to my compensation and (ii) my copy of this Agreement. 
  
 3.3 I agree that all “Inventions” (which term includes patentable or nonpatentable inventions,
original works of authorship, derivative works, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, service marks, discoveries, patents, technology, algorithms, computer software, application programming interfaces, protocols, formulas, compositions, ideas,
designs, processes, techniques, know-how, data and all improvements, rights and claims related to the foregoing), which I make, conceive, reduce to practice or develop (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) during my employment,
shall be the sole property of the Company to the maximum extent permitted by Section 2870 of the California Labor Code. I hereby assign, without further consideration, all such Inventions to the Company (free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances), and the Company shall be the sole owner of all Rights in connection therewith. No assignment in this Agreement shall extend to Inventions, the assignment of which is prohibited by Labor Code Section 2870, which states: 
  
 Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee
shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies,
facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: 
  

 EXHIBIT C 
 -2- 

	 	1.	Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the
employer. 

  

	 	2.	Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. 

  
 I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) within the scope of my
employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USCA, Section 101). 1 will not disclose Inventions covered by this Section 3.3 to any person outside the
Company, unless I am requested to do so by management personnel of the Company. 
  
 3.4 I agree to disclose promptly to the Company all Inventions and relevant records, which records will remain the sole property of the
Company. I further agree that all information and records pertaining to any idea, process, trademark, service mark, invention, technology, computer program, original work or authorship, design, formula, discovery, patent, or copyright that I do not
believe to be an Invention, but is conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by me (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) during my employment, shall be promptly disclosed to the Company (such disclosure to be received in
confidence). I will also disclose to the Company all Inventions conceived, reduced to practice, used, sold, exploited or developed by me (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) within one (1) year of the termination of my
employment with the Company (“Presumed Inventions”); such disclosures shall be received by the Company in confidence, to the extent they are not assigned to the Company in Section 3.3, and do not extend such assignment. Because of the
difficulty of establishing when any Presumed Invention is first conceived or developed by me, or whether it results from access to Proprietary Information or the Company’s equipment, facilities, and data, I agree that all Presumed Inventions
and all Rights associated therewith shall be presumed to be Inventions subject to assignment under Section 3.3. I can rebut this presumption if I prove that a Presumed Invention is not an Invention subject to assignment under Section 3.3.

  
 3.5 I agree to perform, during and after my
employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist it, at the Company’s expense, in evidencing, perfecting, obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing Rights or my assignment with respect to such
Inventions in any and all countries. Should the Company be unable to secure my signature on any document necessary to apply for, prosecute, obtain, enforce or defend any Rights relating to any assigned Invention, whether due to my mental or physical
incapacity or any other cause, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents, as my agents and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to act for and in my behalf and instead of me, to
execute and file any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the above purposes with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. 
  
 3.6 Any assignment of copyright hereunder (and any ownership of a copyright as a work made for hire)
includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights” (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned
under applicable law and to the 

  

 EXHIBIT C 
 -3- 

 
extent the following is allowed by the laws in the various countries where Moral Rights exist, I hereby waive such Moral Rights and consent to any action of
the Company that would violate such Moral Rights in the absence of such waiver and consent. I will confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Company. 
  
 3.7 Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a complete list of all existing Inventions to which I claim personal
ownership of as of the date of this Agreement and that I desire to specifically clarify are not subject to this Agreement, and I acknowledge and agree that such list is complete. If no such list is attached to this Agreement, I represent that I have
no such Inventions at the time of signing this Agreement. 
  
 3.8 I understand that nothing in this Agreement is intended to expand the scope of protection provided me by Sections 2870 through 2872 of the California Labor Code. 
  
 4. Prior Actions and Knowledge. I represent and warrant that from the
time of my first contact or communication with the Company, I have held in strict confidence all Proprietary Information and have not (i) disclosed any Proprietary Information or delivered any Company Materials to anyone outside of the Company or
any affiliate or related entity of the Company, or (ii) used, copied, published, or summarized any Proprietary Information or removed any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company, except to the extent necessary to carry out my
responsibilities as an employee of the Company. 
  
 5.
Non-Solicitation of Employees. I agree that for a period of eighteen months following the termination of my employment with the Company, I will not, on behalf of myself or any other person or entity, solicit the services of any person who was
employed by the Company or any affiliate or related entity of the Company on the date of my termination of employment or at any time during the six month period prior to the termination of my employment. 
  
 6. No Conflict with Obligations to Third Parties. I represent that my
performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary or confidential information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment with the Company. I have not entered into, and
I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith or in conflict with my employment with the Company. 
  
 7. Remedies. I recognize that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit any remedy of the Company under the California Uniform Trade Secrets
Act. I recognize that my violation of this Agreement could cause the Company irreparable harm, the amount of which may be extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Therefore, I agree that the Company shall
have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and for any other relief the Company deems appropriate. This right shall be in addition to any other remedy
available to the Company. 
  
 8. Survival. I agree that my
obligations under Sections 3.1 through 3.6, 5 and 6 shall continue in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary on my part, and that the

  

 EXHIBIT C 
 -4- 

 
Company is entitled to communicate my obligations under this Agreement to any future employer or potential employer of mine. 
  
 9. Controlling Law. This Agreement is and shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, regardless of any laws on choice of law or conflicts of law of any jurisdiction. 
  
 10. Severable Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions is determined to be illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions, and any partially unenforceable provisions to the extent enforceable, shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable. 
  
 11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date I execute this Agreement and shall be
binding upon me, my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its subsidiaries, successors and assigns. 
  
 12. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for
all purposes. This Agreement may be executed by a party’s signature transmitted by facsimile (“fax”), and copies of this Agreement executed and delivered by means of faxed signatures shall have the same force and effect as copies
hereof executed and delivered with original signatures. All parties hereto may rely upon faxed signatures as if such signatures were originals. Any party executing and delivering this Agreement by fax shall promptly thereafter deliver a counterpart
signature page of this Agreement containing said party’s original signature. All parties hereto agree that a faxed signature page may be introduced into evidence in any proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement as if it were an
original signature page. 
  
 13. Rules of Construction.
This Agreement has been negotiated by the parties and is to be interpreted according to its fair meaning as if the parties had prepared it together and not strictly for or against any party. References in this Agreement to “Sections” refer
to Sections of this Agreement, unless the context expressly indicates otherwise. References to “provisions” of this Agreement refer to the terms, conditions, restrictions and promises contained in this Agreement. References in this
Agreement to laws and regulations refer to such laws and regulations as in effect on this date and to the corresponding provisions, if any, of any successor law or regulation. At each place in this Agreement where the context so requires, the
masculine, feminine or neuter gender includes the others and the singular or plural number includes the other. Forms of the verb “including” mean “including without limitation” unless the context expressly indicates otherwise.
“Or” is inclusive and includes “and” unless the context expressly indicates otherwise. The introductory headings at the beginning of Sections of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the parties and do not affect any
provision of this Agreement. 
  
 14. Amendments and
Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, or any terms waived, except by written instrument signed by both parties, or in the case of waiver, by the party to be charged. 
  
 I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE
OBLIGATIONS WHICH IT IMPOSES UPON ME WITHOUT 

  

 EXHIBIT C 
 -5- 

 
RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN THE PROMISES AND REPRESENTATIONS EXPRESSLY
STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN ME AND THE COMPANY CONCURRENTLY HEREWITH. I HAVE COMPLETELY NOTED ON EXHIBIT 1 TO THIS AGREEMENT ANY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS THAT I DESIRE TO EXCLUDE FROM
THIS AGREEMENT.

 EXHIBIT 1 
 TO PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT 
 -1- 

 EXHIBIT D 
  
 IMPAC MORTGAGE HOLDINGS, INC. 
  
 GUARANTY 
  
 This Guaranty, dated as of July 1, 2003, is executed by Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of
Gretchen Verdugo (“Executive”). 
  
 A. Impac
Funding Corporation, a California corporation (“Obligor”), concurrently herewith has entered into an Employment Agreement with Obligor dated even date herewith (the “Contract”). Guarantor is the parent corporation of
Obligor and will receive direct and indirect benefits from the performance of the Contract. 
  
 B. Executive’s willingness to enter into the Contract is subject to receipt by it of this Guaranty duly executed by Guarantor. 
  
 For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally
bound, Guarantor hereby agrees with Executive as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Guaranty. 

  
 (a) Guarantor unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to Executive, or order, at Executive’s address set forth in Section 4(a)
hereof, on demand after the default by Obligor, in lawful money of the United States, any and all Obligations (as hereinafter defined) consisting of payments due to Executive. For purposes of this Guaranty the term “Obligations”
shall mean and include all payments owed by Obligor to Executive of every kind and description, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3, 2.4, 3.1(a),
3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.2 or 4.1 of the Contract (as such Obligations may become due subject to the provisions of the Contract, including all notice requirements and cure provisions), including all interest, late fees, charges, expenses, attorneys’
fees and other professionals’ fees chargeable to Obligor or payable by Obligor there under and any costs of collection hereunder, including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees. 
  
 (b) This Guaranty is absolute, unconditional, continuing and
irrevocable and constitutes an independent guaranty of payment and not of collect ability (provided that it is subject to Obligor defaulting on any of the Obligations), and is in no way conditioned on or contingent upon any attempt to enforce in
whole or in part any of Obligor’s Obligations to Executive, the existence or continuance of Obligor as a legal entity, the consolidation or merger of Obligor with or into any other entity, the sale, lease or disposition by Obligor of all or
substantially all of its assets to any other entity, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of Obligor, the admission by Obligor of its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or the making by Obligor of

 INCENTIVE PAY PLAN 
 -1- 

 
a general assignment for the benefit of, or entering into a composition or arrangement with, creditors. If Obligor or any permitted assignee or successor of
Obligor shall fail to pay or perform any Obligations to Executive which are subject to this Guaranty as and when they are due, Guarantor shall forthwith pay to Executive all such liabilities or obligations in immediately available funds. Each
failure by Obligor to pay or perform any such liabilities or obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. 
  
 (c) Executive, may (subject to the provisions of the
Contract) at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, except such notice as may be required by applicable statute which cannot be waived, without incurring responsibility to Guarantor, and without impairing or
releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, (i) change the manner, place and terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, or alter any Obligation hereby guaranteed, or in any manner modify, amend or supplement the terms
of the Contract or any documents, instruments or agreements executed in connection therewith, (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Obligor or others (including Guarantor) or otherwise act or refrain from acting, (iii) settle
or compromise any Obligations hereby guaranteed and/or any obligations and liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the
payment of any obligations and liabilities which may be due to Executive or others, (iv) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner or in any order any property pledged or mortgaged by anyone to secure or
in any manner securing the Obligations hereby guaranteed, (v) take and hold security or additional security for any or all of the obligations or liabilities covered by this Guaranty, and (vi) assign its rights and interests under this Guaranty, in
whole or in part. 
  
 (d) This is a continuing
Guaranty for which Guarantor receives continuing consideration and all obligations to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon and this Guaranty is therefore
irrevocable without the prior written consent of Executive. 
  
 (e) Guarantor may bring action to enforce Executive’s obligations under the Contract if (i) any proceeding is brought against Guarantor to seek enforcement of this Guaranty or (ii) Guarantor makes any payment to
Executive pursuant to this Guaranty. 
  

	 	2.	Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants to Executive that 

  
 (a) Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly, existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or
formation; (b) the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty are within the power of Guarantor and have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of Guarantor; (c) this Guaranty has been duly executed and
delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. 

	 	3.	Waivers. 

  
 (a) Guarantor, to the extent permitted under applicable law, hereby waives any right to require Executive to (i) proceed against Obligor
or any other guarantor of Obligor’s obligations under the Contract, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security received from Obligor or any other guarantor of Obligor’s Obligations under the Contract, or (iii) pursue any other right or
remedy in the Executive’s power whatsoever. 
  
 (b) Guarantor further waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any defense resulting from the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution or other right or remedy of Guarantor against
Obligor, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any security; (ii) any defense which results from any disability of Obligor or the lack of validity or enforceability of the Contract; (iii) any right to exoneration of sureties which would
otherwise be applicable; (iv) any right of subrogation or reimbursement and, if there are any other guarantors of the Obligations, any right of contribution, and right to enforce any remedy which Executive now has or may hereafter have against
Obligor, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter received by Executive; (v) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, notices delivered under the Contract, protests, notice of
dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations and notices of any public or private foreclosure sale; (vi) any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium
redemption or similar law or similar rights for marshalling; and (vii) any right to be informed by Executive of the financial condition of Obligor or any other guarantor of the Obligations or any change therein or any other circumstances bearing
upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations. Guarantor has the ability to and assumes the responsibility for keeping informed of the financial condition of Obligor and any other guarantors of the Obligations and of other
circumstances affecting such nonpayment and nonperformance risks. 
  

	 	4.	Miscellaneous. 

  
 (a) Notices. All notices hereunder must be in writing and shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if properly
addressed and delivered personally by documented overnight delivery service, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile or other electronic transmission service at the address or facsimile number, as the case may be,
set forth below. Any notice given personally or by documented overnight delivery service is effective upon receipt. Any notice given by registered mail is effective upon receipt, to the extent such receipt is confirmed by return receipt. Any notice
given by facsimile transmission is effective upon receipt, to the extent that receipt is confirmed, either verbally or in writing by the recipient. Any notice which is refused, unclaimed or undeliverable because of an act or omission of the party to
be notified, if such notice was correctly addressed to the party to be notified, shall be deemed communicated as of the first date that said notice was refused, unclaimed or deemed undeliverable by the postal authorities, or overnight delivery
service.

 (b)
Nonwaiver. No failure or delay on Executive’s part in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right. 
  
 (c)
Amendments and Waivers. This Guaranty may not be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, or any terms waived, except by written instrument signed by both parties, or in the case of waiver, by the party to be charged. 
  
 (d) Assignments. This Guaranty shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of Executive and Guarantor and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of Executive, Guarantor may not assign its rights and obligations hereunder.

 (e) Cumulative Rights, etc. The rights, powers and remedies of Executive under
this Guaranty shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Executive by virtue of any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Contract or any other agreement, all of which rights, powers, and remedies shall be cumulative and may
be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Executive’s rights hereunder. 
  
 (f) Partial Invalidity. The provisions of this Guaranty are severable and if any one or more provisions is determined to be illegal
or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions, and any partially unenforceable provisions to the extent enforceable, shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable. 
  
 (g) Governing Law. This Guaranty is and shall be
governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, regardless of any laws on choice of law or conflicts of law of any jurisdiction. 
  

(h) Arbitration. To the fullest extent allowed by law, any controversy, claim or dispute between Executive and Guarantor (or any
of its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, successors or assigns) relating to or arising out of this Guaranty will be submitted to final and binding arbitration in Orange County, California for determination in
accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes, as the exclusive remedy for such controversy, claim or dispute. In any such arbitration, the parties may conduct
discovery to the same extent as would be permitted in a court of law. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision, and shall have full authority to award all remedies which would be available in court. The arbitrator shall be required to determine
all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. Guarantor shall pay the arbitrator’s fees and any AAA administrative expenses. In the event Executive files a claim to collect unpaid payments or
benefits payable under Section 2.4 of the Contract, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys fees and costs. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
BY AGREEING TO THIS MUTUAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, BOTH EXECUTIVE AND GUARANTOR GIVE UP ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. This arbitration policy is to be construed as broadly as is permissible under relevant law. EXECUTIVE AND GUARANTOR
HAVE READ THIS SECTION 4(h) AND IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE IDENTIFIED ABOVE.

 (i) Entire Agreement. This Guaranty
contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or warranties relating to the subject matter of this Guaranty that are not set forth otherwise
herein. This Guaranty supersedes any and all prior agreements, written or oral, with Guarantor relating to guaranteeing obligations under the Contract and any other subject matter of this Guaranty. Any such prior agreements are hereby terminated and
of no further effect. The parties hereto agree that in no event shall an oral modification of this Agreement be enforceable or valid. 

 (j) Counterparts, Facsimile Signatures. This Guaranty may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes. This Guaranty may be executed by a party’s signature transmitted by facsimile (“fax”), and copies of this Guaranty executed and delivered by means of
faxed signatures shall have the same force and effect as copies hereof executed and delivered with original signatures. All parties hereto may rely upon faxed signatures as if such signatures were originals. Any party executing and delivering this
Guaranty by fax shall promptly thereafter deliver a counterpart signature page of this Guaranty containing said party’s original signature. All parties hereto agree that a faxed signature page may be introduced into evidence in any proceeding
arising out of or related to this Guaranty as if it were an original signature page. 
  
 (k) Rules of Construction. This Guaranty has been negotiated by the parties and is to be interpreted according to its fair meaning
as if the parties had prepared it together and not strictly for or against any party. References in this Guaranty to “Sections” refer to Sections of this Guaranty, unless the context expressly indicates otherwise. References to
“provisions” of this Guaranty refer to the terms, conditions, restrictions and promises contained in this Guaranty. References in this Guaranty to laws and regulations refer to such laws and regulations as in effect on this date and to the
corresponding provisions, if any, of any successor law or regulation. At each place in this Guaranty where the context so requires, the masculine, feminine or neuter gender includes the others and the singular or plural number includes the other.
Forms of the verb “including” mean “including without limitation” unless the context expressly indicates otherwise. “Or” is inclusive and includes “and” unless the context expressly indicates otherwise. The
introductory headings at the beginning of Sections of this Guaranty are solely for the convenience of the parties and do not affect any provision of this Guaranty. 
  
 (1) No Employment With Guarantor. Executive understands and agrees that he is an employee of Obligor
pursuant to the Contract. Executive further understands and agrees that neither this Guaranty nor any obligations performed hereunder shall change any employee status that Executive may have with Guarantor. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive and Guarantor have executed this Guaranty as of the day and year first above written.
