GENERAL CONTINUING GUARANTY
---------------------------
XXX XXX ROO, INC.
THIS GENERAL CONTINUING GUARANTY ("Guaranty"), dated as of October 30,
1998, is executed and delivered by XXX XXX ROO, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Guarantor"), in favor of Foothill Capital Corporation, a California
corporation ("Guarantied Party"), in light of the following:
WHEREAS, Debtor, Guarantied Party, and the other parties thereto have
heretofore entered into the Loan Agreement; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce Guarantied Party to continue to extend
financial accommodations to Debtor pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and in
consideration thereof, and in consideration of any loans or other financial
accommodations at any time extended by Guarantied Party to Debtor pursuant to
the Loan Agreement, Guarantor has agreed to guaranty the Guarantied Obligations.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby
agrees, in favor of Guarantied Party, as follows:
1. Definitions and Construction.
----------------------------
(a) Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
-----------
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
The following terms, as used in this Guaranty, shall have the following

------
corporation, and El Torito Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
individually and collectively, jointly and severally.
"Guarantied Obligations" shall mean the due and punctual payment
----------------------
of the principal of, and interest (including, any and all interest which, but
for the application of the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued
on such amounts) on, and premium, if any, on the Indebtedness owed by Debtor to
Guarantied Party pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.
"Guarantied Party" shall have the meaning set forth in the
----------------
preamble to this Guaranty.
"Guarantor" shall have the meaning set forth in the preamble to
---------
this Guaranty.
"Guaranty" shall have the meaning set forth in the preamble to
--------
this Guaranty.
"Indebtedness" shall mean any and all Obligations, whether
------------
recovery is or hereafter becomes barred by any statute of limitations or
otherwise becomes unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, including any act or
failure to act by Guarantied Party.
"Loan Agreement" shall mean that certain Loan and Security
--------------
Agreement, dated as of January 10, 1997 (as heretofore amended, supplemented, or
otherwise modified), entered into between Debtor, Guarantied Party, and the
other parties thereto.
(b) Construction. Unless the context of this Guaranty clearly
------------
requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to
the singular include the plural, the part includes the whole, the terms
"include" and "including" are not limiting, and the term "or" has the inclusive
meaning represented by the phrase "and/or." The words "hereof," "herein,"
"hereby," "hereunder," and other similar terms refer to this Guaranty as a whole
and not to any particular provision of this Guaranty. Any reference in this
Guaranty to any of the following documents includes any and all alterations,
amendments, restatements, extensions, modifications, renewals, or supplements
thereto or thereof, as applicable: the Loan Agreement; this Guaranty; and the
other Loan Documents. This Guaranty has been reviewed by Guarantor, Guarantied
Party, and their respective counsel, and shall be construed and interpreted
according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish
the purposes and intentions of Guarantied Party and Guarantor.
2. Guarantied Obligations. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
----------------------
unconditionally guaranties to Guarantied Party, as and for its own debt, until
final and indefeasible payment thereof has been made, (a) the payment of the
Guarantied Obligations, in each case when and as the same shall become due and
payable, whether at maturity, pursuant to a mandatory prepayment requirement, by
acceleration, or otherwise; it being the intent of Guarantor that the guaranty
set forth herein shall be a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of
collection; and (b) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance,
and fulfillment by Debtor of all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and
Obligations of Debtor contained in the Loan Agreement, and under each of the
other Loan Documents.
3. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty includes Guarantied
-------------------
Obligations arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising,
extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guarantied
Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and
conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guarantied Obligations after
prior Guarantied Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the
maximum extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke
this Guaranty as to future Indebtedness. If such a revocation is effective
notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a)
no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been
received by Guarantied Party, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any
Guarantied Obligations in existence on such date (including any subsequent
continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate,
payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation
shall apply to
-2-
any Guarantied Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or
created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Guarantied Party in
existence on the date of such revocation, and (d) any payment by Debtor or from
any source other than Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall
first be applied to that portion of the Guarantied Obligations as to which the
revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and
to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of Guarantor
hereunder.
4. Performance Under this Guaranty. In the event that Debtor fails
-------------------------------
to make any payment of any Guarantied Obligations, on or before the due date
thereof, or if Debtor shall fail to perform, keep, observe, or fulfill any other
obligation referred to in clause (b) of Section 2 hereof in the manner provided
-----------------------
in the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, as applicable, Guarantor
immediately shall cause such payment to be made or each of such obligations to
be performed, kept, observed, or fulfilled.
5. Primary Obligations. This Guaranty is a primary and original
-------------------
obligation of Guarantor, is not merely the creation of a surety relationship,
and is an absolute, unconditional, and continuing guaranty of payment and
performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to
future changes in conditions until full and final payment in cash (or other
consideration acceptable to Foothill in its sole discretion and agreed to by
Foothill) of the Guarantied Obligations and the termination of all commitments
of Foothill to extend Credit to Debtor or Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that it
is directly, jointly and severally with any other guarantor of the Guarantied
Obligations, liable to Guarantied Party, that the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder are independent of the obligations of Debtor or any other guarantor,
and that a separate action may be brought against Guarantor, whether such action
is brought against Debtor or any other guarantor or whether Debtor or any other
guarantor is joined in such action. Guarantor agrees that its liability
hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or
enforcement by Guarantied Party of whatever remedies it may have against Debtor
or any other guarantor, or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any
security Guarantied Party may at any time possess. Guarantor agrees that any
release which may be given by Guarantied Party to Debtor or any other guarantor
shall not release Guarantor. Guarantor consents and agrees that Guarantied
Party shall be under no obligation to marshal any property or assets of Debtor
or any other guarantor in favor of Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or
all of the Guarantied Obligations.
6. Waivers.
-------
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor
hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans or
other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Agreement, or the
creation or existence of any Guarantied Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount
of the Guarantied Obligations, subject, however, to Guarantor's right to make
inquiry of Guarantied Party to ascertain the amount of the Guarantied
Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse
-3-
change in the financial condition of Debtor or of any other fact that might
increase Guarantor's risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment,
demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Loan
Documents; (vi) notice of any unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default
under the Loan Agreement; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is
specifically required to be given to Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other
Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party) and demands to which Guarantor
might otherwise be entitled.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor
hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require Guarantied Party to
institute suit against Debtor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which
Guarantied Party has or may have against Debtor. In this regard, Guarantor
agrees that it is bound to the payment of each and all Guarantied Obligations,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, as fully as if such Guarantied
Obligations were directly owing to Guarantied Party by Guarantor. Guarantor
further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense
(other than the defense that the Guarantied Obligations shall have been fully
and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of Debtor or by reason of the
cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Debtor in respect
thereof.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor
hereby waives: (i) any rights to assert against Guarantied Party any defense
(legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which Guarantor may now or
at any time hereafter have against Debtor or any other party liable to
Guarantied Party on account of or with respect to the Guarantied Obligations;
(ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature,
arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection,
sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any
security therefor; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense
based upon an election of remedies by Guarantied Party including any defense
based upon an election of remedies by Guarantied Party under the provisions of
(S)(S) 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar
law of California or any other jurisdiction; (iv) the benefit of any statute of
limitations affecting Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement
thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of
limitations applicable to the Guarantied Obligations shall similarly operate to
defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to
Guarantor's liability hereunder.
(d) Until such time as all of the Guarantied Obligations have been
fully, finally, and indefeasibly paid in full in cash (or other consideration
acceptable to Foothill in its sole discretion and agreed to by Foothill): (i)
Guarantor hereby waives and postpones any right of subrogation Guarantor has or
may have as against Debtor with respect to the Guarantied Obligations; (ii) in
addition, Guarantor hereby waives and postpones any right to proceed against
Debtor or any other Obligor with respect to any portion of the Obligations, now
or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, or any other
suretyship rights and claims (irrespective of whether direct or indirect,
liquidated or contingent), with respect
-4-
to the Guarantied Obligations; and (iii) in addition, Guarantor also hereby
waives and postpones any right to proceed or to seek recourse against or with
respect to any property or asset of Debtor.
(e) If any of the Guarantied Obligations at any time are secured by a
mortgage or deed of trust upon real property, Guarantied Party may elect, in its
sole discretion, upon a default with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, to
foreclose such mortgage or deed of trust judicially or nonjudicially in any
manner permitted by law, before or after enforcing this Guaranty, without
diminishing or affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor
understands that (a) by virtue of the operation of California's antideficiency
law applicable to nonjudicial foreclosures, an election by Guarantied Party
nonjudicially to foreclose such a mortgage or deed of trust probably would have
the effect of impairing or destroying rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
contribution, or indemnity of Guarantor against Debtor or other guarantors or
sureties, and (b) absent the waiver given by Guarantor herein, such an election
would estop Guarantied Party from enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor.
Understanding the foregoing, and understanding that Guarantor is hereby
relinquishing a defense to the enforceability of this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby
waives any right to assert against Guarantied Party any defense to the
enforcement of this Guaranty, whether denominated "estoppel" or otherwise, based
on or arising from an election by Guarantied Party nonjudicially to foreclose
any such mortgage or deed of trust securing the Guarantied Obligations.
Guarantor understands that the effect of the foregoing waiver may be that
Guarantor may have liability hereunder for amounts with respect to which
Guarantor may be left without rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
contribution, or indemnity against Debtor or other guarantors or sureties.
Guarantor also agrees that the "fair market value" provisions of Section 580a of
the California Code of Civil Procedure shall have no applicability with respect
to the determination of Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty.
(f) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER
PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT SUCH WAIVER IS PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL BENEFITS OR DEFENSES ARISING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY UNDER ANY ONE OR MORE OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE (S)(S)
2799, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2838, 2839, 2845, 2847,
2848, 2849, AND 2850, CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE (S)(S) 580a, 580b,
580c, 580d, AND 726, AND CHAPTER 2 OF TITLE 14 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE.
(g) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER
PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY, GUARANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES
ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY THE GUARANTIED PARTY, EVEN THOUGH THAT
ELECTION OF REMEDIES, SUCH AS A NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY
FOR A GUARANTEED OBLIGATION, HAS DESTROYED THE GUARANTOR'S RIGHTS OF
-5-
SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST THE DEBTOR BY THE OPERATION OF SECTION
580d OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR OTHERWISE.
7. Releases. Guarantor consents and agrees that, without notice to
--------
or by Guarantor and without affecting or impairing the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder, Guarantied Party may, by action or inaction, compromise or settle,
extend the period of duration or the time for the payment, or discharge the
performance of, or may refuse to, or otherwise not enforce, or may, by action or
inaction, release all or any one or more parties to, any one or more of the
terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
may grant other indulgences to Debtor in respect thereof, or may amend or modify
at any time (or from time to time) any one or more of the Loan Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents in any manner permitted thereunder, or may, by
action or inaction, release or substitute any other guarantor, if any, of the
Guarantied Obligations, or may enforce, exchange, release, or waive, by action
or inaction, any security for the Guarantied Obligations or any other guaranty
of the Guarantied Obligations, or any portion thereof.
8. No Election. Guarantied Party shall have the right to seek
-----------
recourse against Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein and no
election by Guarantied Party to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or
against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Guarantied
Party's right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against
other parties unless Guarantied Party has expressly waived such right in
writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no
action or proceeding by Guarantied Party under any document or instrument
evidencing the Guarantied Obligations shall serve to diminish the liability of
Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent that Guarantied Party finally
and unconditionally shall have realized indefeasible payment by such action or
proceeding.
9. Indefeasible Payment. The Guarantied Obligations shall not be
--------------------
considered indefeasibly paid for purposes of this Guaranty unless and until all
payments to Guarantied Party are no longer subject to any right on the part of
any person whomsoever, including Debtor, Debtor as a debtor in possession, or
any trustee (whether appointed under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) of
Debtor's assets to invalidate or set aside such payments or to seek to recoup
the amount of such payments or any portion thereof, or to declare same to be
fraudulent or preferential. In the event that, for any reason, all or any
portion of such payments to Guarantied Party is set aside or restored, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, after the making thereof, the obligation or part
thereof intended to be satisfied thereby shall be revived and continued in full
force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made and Guarantor
shall be liable for the full amount Guarantied Party is required to repay plus
any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) paid by Guarantied
Party in connection therewith.
-6-
10. Financial Condition of Debtor. Guarantor represents and warrants
-----------------------------
to Guarantied Party that it is currently informed of the financial condition of
Debtor and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and
which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations. Guarantor
further represents and warrants to Guarantied Party that it has read and
understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Guarantor hereby covenants that it will continue to keep itself
informed of Debtor's financial condition, the financial condition of other
guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of
nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guarantied Obligations.
11. [Intentionally Omitted.]
12. Payments; Application. All payments to be made hereunder by
---------------------
Guarantor shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the
time of payment, shall be made in immediately available funds, and shall be made
without deduction (whether for taxes or otherwise) or offset. All payments made
by Guarantor hereunder shall be applied as follows: first, to all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) actually
incurred by Guarantied Party in enforcing this Guaranty or in collecting the
Guarantied Obligations; second, to all accrued and unpaid interest, premium, if
any, and fees owing to Guarantied Party constituting Guarantied Obligations; and
third, to the balance of the Guarantied Obligations.
13. Attorneys Fees and Costs. Guarantor agrees to pay promptly all
------------------------
reasonable attorneys fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses which may
be incurred by Guarantied Party in the enforcement of this Guaranty or in any
way arising out of, or consequential to the protection, assertion, or
enforcement of the Guarantied Obligations (or any security therefor),
irrespective of whether suit is brought.

other agreement entered into in connection therewith shall be in writing and

any and every other remedy given under this Guaranty, under the Loan Agreement,
or any other Loan Document, and those provided by law. No delay or omission by

dissimilar, right or default or otherwise prejudice the rights and remedies
hereunder.

-------- -------
Guaranty or delegate any of its duties hereunder without Guarantied Party's
prior written consent and any unconsented to assignment shall be absolutely
void. In the event of any assignment or other transfer of rights by Guarantied
Party in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the rights and benefits herein
conferred upon Guarantied Party shall automatically extend to and be vested in
such assignee or other transferee.
19. No Third Party Beneficiary. This Guaranty is solely for the

benefit of Guarantied Party and its successors and permitted assigns and may not
be relied on by any other Person.
