(c)Further Assurances. Borrowers shall, upon the request of Agent or the Lenders, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered, such further documents, instruments or agreements, and perform such other acts, as may be necessary, desirable or proper for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement, or for assuring the validity of, perfecting or preserving the lien of each Deed of Trust or any other Loan Documents.

(e)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
(f)Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any Borrower and any purported assignment shall be void. The Dart Purchase Agreement may not be assigned except to an affiliate of Dart Interests. This Agreement is assignable by Agent and any Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
(g)Construction of this Agreement. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in interpreting the substantive provisions of this Agreement. Time is of the essence of each term of the Loan Documents, including this Agreement. As used herein, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to,” and the term “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation.” This Agreement has been drafted by all the parties hereto collectively. Therefore, each party to this Agreement agrees that any statute or rule of construction providing that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(h)Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each and all provisions of this Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect until all obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents are paid and performed in full. All releases herein shall survive repayment and performance of such obligations and/or any foreclosure under or reconveyance of each Deed of Trust.
(i)Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement, the rights of the parties hereunder and the interpretation hereof shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California in all respects. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower hereby waives any right to a trial by jury in any action relating to the Loan and/or the Loan Documents.
(j)Severability. In the event of any invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
(k)Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including the right to contribution,
-16-
which Agent and/or Lenders may have against any party hereto under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time, any successor statute thereto or any other applicable federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved.
(l)Reliance. Neither Agent nor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ would have consented to the transactions specified herein without Borrowers entering into this Agreement. Accordingly, each of such parties intentionally and unconditionally enters into the covenants and agreements as set forth above and understands that, in reliance upon and in consideration of such covenants and agreements, Agent and Lenders have consented to the transactions contemplated herein and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations have been, are being and shall be entered into which would not take place but for such reliance.
11.Same Indebtedness; Priority of Liens Not Affected. This Agreement and the execution of other documents contemplated hereby do not constitute the extinguishment of any debt evidenced by the Loan Documents, nor will they in any way affect or impair the liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents, which each Borrower acknowledges to be valid and existing liens on and security interests in the Property. Each Borrower agrees that the liens and security interests created by the Deeds of Trust continue to be in full force and effect, unaffected and unimpaired by this Agreement or by the transactions contemplated herein and that said liens and security interests shall so continue in their perfection and priority until the debt secured by the Loan Documents is fully discharged. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that neither this Agreement, nor the Short Form shall constitute a novation of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents, and further that the terms and provisions of the Deed of Trust and all of the other Loan Documents shall remain valid and in full force and effect except as may be hereinabove modified and amended.
12.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in one or more separate counterparts, and counterpart original signature pages may be assembled into one original document.

(a)Borrowers and Guarantor, for themselves and for each of their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby release and waive all claims and/or defenses they now may have against Administrative Agent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) on account of any occurrence relating to the Loan, the Loan Documents and/or the property encumbered by the Security Instruments which accrued prior to the date hereof, including, but not limited to, any claim that Administrative Agent or any Lender (i) breached any obligation to Borrowers and/or Guarantor in connection with the Loan, (ii) was or is in any way involved with Borrowers and/or Guarantor as a partner, joint venturer, or in any other capacity whatsoever other than as a lender, (iii) failed to fund any portion of the Loan or any other sums as required under any document or agreement in reference thereto, or (iv) failed to timely respond to any offers to cure any defaults under any document or agreement executed by Borrowers, Guarantor or any third party or parties in favor of Administrative Agent or any Lender (collectively, the “Released Claims”). This release and waiver shall be effective as of the date of this Agreement and shall be binding upon Borrowers and Guarantor and each of their
-17-
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective successors and assigns. The term “Released Parties” as used herein shall include, but shall not be limited to, the present and former officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys of Administrative Agent and each Lender.
(b)Borrowers and Guarantor each agree and acknowledge that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true regarding the Released Claims and agree that the foregoing releases shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the existence or nature of any such different or additional facts.
(c)▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Guarantor, each having consulted with counsel, is aware of the contents of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California. Section 1542 reads as follows:
Section 1542. (General Release – Claims Extinguished.) A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
Borrowers and Guarantor each expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction, with respect to the Released Claims. Borrowers and Guarantor have executed this Agreement voluntarily, with full knowledge of its significance, and with the express intention of effecting the legal consequences provided by a waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542.
14.Course of Dealing. Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that at no time shall any prior or subsequent course of conduct by Borrowers, Administrative Agent or any Lender directly or indirectly limit, impair or otherwise adversely affect any of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights, interests or remedies in connection with the Loan and the Loan Documents or obligate Administrative Agent or any Lender to agree to, or to negotiate or consider an agreement to, any waiver of any obligation or default by Borrowers under any Loan Document or any amendment to any term or condition of any Loan Document. Administrative Agent and Lenders have no obligation to, and may not, extend the term of the Loan beyond the Maturity Date.
15.Renewal; Lien Continuation; No Novation. Each Borrower hereby reaffirms the Obligations and promises to pay and perform all Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents (as expressly modified by this Agreement). The Liens are hereby ratified and confirmed as valid, subsisting and continuing to secure the Obligations. Nothing herein shall in any manner diminish, impair, waive or extinguish the Notes, the Loan Documents, the Obligations or the Liens. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the debt evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.
-18-
16.Default. A default under this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the Notes and other Loan Documents, subject to any applicable notice and cure or grace period expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.
17.Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and Guarantor’s consent attached hereto may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time. Borrowers and Guarantor shall, as soon as reasonably possible, provide an original of this Agreement to Administrative Agent that will include the wet signatures of Borrowers and Guarantor next to any Electronic Signatures.
18.Short-Form Fourth Modification Agreement. Each of the Lenders hereby authorizes and instructs Administrative Agent to execute the Short-Form Fourth Modification Agreements on each of its behalf and to cause such Short-Form Modification Agreements to be recorded in the real estate records of the respective counties set forth therein.
