NOW THEREFORE, in considera on of the execu on of said Lease by Lessor and as a material inducement to Lessor to execute said Lease, Guarantors hereby jointly, severally, uncondi onally and irrevocably guarantee the prompt payment by Lessee of all rents and all other sums payable by Lessee under said Lease and the faithful and prompt performance by Lessee of each and every one of the terms, condi ons and covenants of said Lease to be kept and performed by Lessee. It is specifically agreed by Lessor and Guarantors that: (i) the terms of the foregoing Lease may be modified by agreement between Lessor and Lessee, or by a course of conduct, and (ii) said Lease may be assigned by Lessor or any assignee of Lessor without the consent of or no ce to Guarantors and that this Guaranty shall guarantee the performance of said Lease as so modified. This Guaranty shall not be released, modified or affected by the failure or delay on the part of Lessor to enforce any of the rights or remedies of the Lessor under said Lease. No no ce of default by Lessee under the Lease need be given by Lessor to Guarantors, it being specifically agreed that the guarantee of the undersigned is a con nuing guarantee under which Lessor may proceed immediately against Lessee and/or against Guarantors following any breach or default by Lessee or for the enforcement of any rights which Lessor may have as against Lessee under the terms of the Lease or at law or in equity. Lessor shall have the right to proceed against Guarantors following any breach or default by Lessee under the Lease without first proceeding against Lessee and without previous no ce to or demand upon either Lessee or Guarantors.

If a Guarantor is married, such Guarantor expressly agrees that recourse may be had against his or her separate property for all of the obliga ons hereunder. The obliga ons of Lessee under the Lease to execute and deliver estoppel statements and financial statements, as therein provided, shall be deemed to also require the Guarantors to provide estoppel statements and financial statements to Lessor. The failure of the Guarantors to provide the same to Lessor shall cons tute a default under the Lease. The term "Lessor" refers to and means the SubLessor named in the SubLease and also SubLessor's successors and assigns. So long as Lessor's interest in the Lease, the leased premises or the rents, issues and profits therefrom, are subject to any mortgage or deed of trust or assignment for security, no acquisi on by Guarantors of the Lessor's interest shall affect the con nuing obliga on of Guarantors under this Guaranty which shall nevertheless con nue in full force and effect for the benefit of the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee or assignee under such mortgage, deed of trust or assignment and their successors and assigns. The term "Lessee" refers to and means the SubLessee named in the SubLease and also SubLessee's successors and assigns. The term "Lease" refers to and means the Sublease. Any description of the transaction should only reflect these terms. Any recovery by Lessor from any other guarantor or insurer shall first be credited to the por on of Lessee's indebtedness to Lessor which exceeds the maximum liability of Guarantors under this Guaranty. No provision of this Guaranty or right of the Lessor can be waived, nor can the Guarantors be released from their obliga ons except in wri ng signed by the Lessor. Any li ga on concerning this Guaranty shall be ini ated in a state court of competent jurisdic on in the county in which the leased premises are located and the Guarantors consent to the jurisdic on of such court. This Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the leased premises are located and for the purposes of any rules regarding conflicts of law the par es shall be treated as if they were all residents or domiciles of such State. In the event any ac on be brought by said Lessor against Guarantors hereunder to enforce the obliga on of Guarantors hereunder, the unsuccessful party in such ac on shall pay to the prevailing party therein a reasonable a orney's fee.

SELLER'S AGENT A Seller's agent under a lis ng agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or a subagent of that agent has the following affirma ve obliga ons: To the Seller: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Seller. To the Buyer and the Seller: (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's du es. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affec ng the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent a en on and observa on of, the par es. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confiden al informa on obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirma ve du es set forth above. BUYER'S AGENT A Buyer's agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situa ons, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensa on for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent ac ng only for a Buyer has the following affirma ve obliga ons: To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer. To the Buyer and the Seller: (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's du es. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affec ng the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent a en on and observa on of, the par es. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confiden al informa on obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirma ve du es set forth above. AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH SELLER AND BUYER A real estate agent, either ac ng directly or through one or more salesperson and broker associates, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transac on, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer. In a dual agency situa on, the agent has the following affirma ve obliga ons to both the Seller and the Buyer: (a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either the Seller or the Buyer. (b) Other du es to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respec ve sec ons. In represen ng both Seller and Buyer, a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respec ve party, disclose to the other party confiden al informa on, including, but not limited to, facts rela ng to either the Buyer's or Seller's financial posi on, mo va ons, bargaining posi on, or other personal informa on that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the lis ng price or the Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered. SELLER AND BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES Either the purchase agreement or a separate document will contain a confirma on of which agent is represen ng you and whether that agent is represen ng you exclusively in the transac on or ac ng as a dual agent. Please pay a en on to that confirma on to make sure it accurately reflects your understanding of your agent’s role. The above du es of the agent in a real estate transac on do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect his or her own interests. You should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transac on. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. If you are a Buyer, you have the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including as to those facts about the property which are known to you or within your diligent a en on and observa on. Both Sellers and Buyers should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transac on can be complex and subject to change. Throughout your real property transac on you may receive more than one disclosure form, depending upon the number of agents assis ng in the transac on. The law requires each agent with whom you have more than a casual rela onship to present you with this disclosure form. You should read its contents each me it is presented to you, considering the rela onship between you and the real estate agent in your specific transac on. This disclosure form includes the provisions of Sec ons 2079.13 to 2079.24, inclusive, of the Civil Code set forth on page 2. Read it carefully.
