ARTICLE II
THE GUARANTY
SECTION 2.1. The Guaranty. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to Lender the due and punctual payment in full (and not
merely the collectibility) of the Obligations; provided, however, that absent
fraud or willful misconduct on behalf of Guarantor, Lender's sole right of
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:
(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
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.
(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
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.

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.
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.
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
