15 transaction and/or agreement, as applicable, with respect to any financial covenants set forth in Section 3(b)(xviii) or other financial covenants intended to test the creditworthiness of the Guarantor or Seller (a “More Favorable Agreement”), then Guarantor shall provide notice to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, of such more favorable terms contained in such More Favorable Agreement (including a summary thereof) and the terms of this Guaranty shall be deemed automatically amended to include such more favorable terms contained in such More Favorable Agreement; and (xxix) Guarantor acknowledges that with respect to each Transaction, Seller shall have sold the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items and Seller shall have granted to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a first priority security interest in such assets in the event such Transaction is deemed a loan. Accordingly, Seller and Guarantor shall not grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien upon the Purchased Assets or the Purchased Items, other than as granted to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in herein and in the Agreement. 4. Reserved. 5. Right of Set-off. Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, at any time following a default by Seller or Guarantor in the payment or performance of any of its obligations under this Guaranty or the Agreement, without notice to Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit of the account of Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereunder, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has made any demand for payment. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall notify Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by Buyer; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Buyer under this Section 5 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which it may have. 6. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of Guarantor by Administrative Agent, Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Administrative Agent or any Buyer against Seller or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by Administrative Agent for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Seller or any other guarantor in respect of payments of the Guaranteed Obligations made by Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts then owing or due to Administrative Agent and any Buyer by Seller on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and the Agreement is terminated. If any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount
16 shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Guarantor, be turned over to Administrative Agent in the exact form received by Guarantor (duly indorsed by Guarantor to Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Administrative Agent may determine. 7. Amendments, Etc. with Respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, any demand for payment or performance by Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by Administrative Agent may be rescinded by Administrative Agent and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Administrative Agent, and the Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as Administrative Agent may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Administrative Agent or any Buyer for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for this Guaranty or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against Guarantor, Administrative Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on Seller or any other guarantor, and any failure by Administrative Agent to make any such demand or to collect any payments from Seller or any such other guarantor or any release of Seller or such other guarantor shall not relieve Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Administrative Agent against Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. 8. Waiver of Rights. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and notice of or proof of reliance by Administrative Agent upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty; and all dealings between Seller and Guarantor, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and/or any Buyer, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment or performance and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Guarantor and Seller with respect to the Obligations. 9. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of the full and punctual payment and performance by Seller of the Guaranteed Obligations only, and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Administrative Agent first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from Seller without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of
17 the Principal Agreements, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Administrative Agent and Buyers, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Seller against Administrative Agent (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, Guarantor may assert any defense to payment available to Seller in respect of the Obligations (other than defenses arising solely as the result of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding)), or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Seller or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Seller from the Guaranteed Obligations, or of Guarantor from this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, Administrative Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Seller or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Administrative Agent to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Seller or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Seller or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Administrative Agent or any Buyer against Guarantor. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon Guarantor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, and its successors, endorsees, transferees and permitted assigns, until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied by payment and/or performance in full and the satisfaction and discharge of the Agreement, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Agreement, Seller may be free from any Guaranteed Obligations. 10. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any time, payment and/or performance, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Guarantor or Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Guarantor or Seller or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments and/or such performance had not been made. 11. Payments. Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars in accordance with the wiring instructions of Administrative Agent. 12. Intent. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees with the provisions set forth in Section 14.18 of the Repurchase Agreement. Guarantor and Administrative Agent intend and acknowledge that (i) this Guaranty is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) this Guaranty is “credit enhancement” that is “related to” and provided “in connection with” the Agreement and each transaction thereunder
18 and is within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and is, therefore, (i) a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and (iii) a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and payments and transfers under this Guaranty constitute transfers made by, to, or for the benefit of a “financial institution,” “financial participant” or “repo participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(22A) and 101(46) of the Bankruptcy Code. It is understood and agreed that any party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Guaranty is in each case a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Guaranty as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. Guarantor and Administrative Agent agree that this Guaranty and each of the documents executed by the parties in connection with a Transaction are part of an integrated, simultaneously-closing suite of financial contracts. Guarantor further agrees that it shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, the characterization of this Guaranty, the Repurchase Agreement or any Transaction thereunder as a “master netting agreement,” “repurchase agreement” and/or “securities contract” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. 13.

Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm of otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, including without limitation counterparts transmitted by facsimile or other electronic transmission, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

This Guaranty represents the agreement of Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by Administrative Agent relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein. 16. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. (a) None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by Guarantor and Administrative Agent; provided, that any provision of this Guaranty may be waived by Administrative Agent by a written instrument executed by Administrative Agent. (b) Administrative Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Administrative Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by Administrative Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Administrative Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. (c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 17. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
20 18. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and its successors and assigns. This Guaranty may not be assigned by Guarantor without the express written consent of Administrative Agent. 19. Seller’s Financial Condition. Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of Seller’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that Administrative Agent shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks. 20. Cooperation. Guarantor agrees to execute any and all further documents, instruments and agreements as Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably requests to evidence Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 21.
