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

Section 2.02
Specific Waivers Related to Real
Estate. Without limiting any other
provisions of this Guaranty:
(i)
Guarantor
unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights and defenses that
Guarantor may have because the Debt is secured by real property.
This means, among other things, that Lender may collect from
Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal
property collateral pledged by Borrower. If Lender forecloses on
any real property collateral pledged by Borrower:
(A)
the amount of the Debt may be
reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the
foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the
sale price;
(B)
Lender may collect from Guarantor
even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has
destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower;
(This waiver being acknowledged by Guarantor to be an unconditional
and irrevocable wavier of any rights and defenses Guarantor may
have because the Debt is secured by real property); and
This is an unconditional and
irrevocable waver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have
because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. These
rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or
defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the
California Code
