(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary and subject to clauses (c), (d), (e) and (g) below, the maximum liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no event exceed fifty percent (50%) of the then-current aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets.

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor in connection with the execution and the delivery of any Transaction Document, or any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Buyer at the time of the closing of the Repurchase Agreement or during the term of the Repurchase Agreement;

3

environmental condition, or the removal of any substances, materials, wastes, pollutants or contaminants defined as hazardous or toxic or regulated under any applicable Environmental Law, in each case in any way affecting Seller’s or any of its Affiliate’s properties or any of the Purchased Assets; provided, that Guarantor shall have no liability under this clause (d)(v) with respect to breaches of representations or warranties relating to any Environmental Laws, violations of Environmental Laws or environmental conditions relating to conditions on any Mortgaged Property first arising on or after the date upon which Buyer enforces its remedies with respect to the related Purchased Asset pursuant to Section 14(b)(iii) or 14(b)(iv) of the Repurchase Agreement following an Event of Default; or

(vi) any failure of Seller to perform the Assumed Obligations relating to any Purchased Asset during the period that such Assumed Obligations are the obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Repurchase Agreement (including, without limitation, any cost of defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel, incurred by Buyer in connection with any claim, action, litigation or other proceeding brought against Buyer by a Mortgagor as a result of such failure of Seller to perform the Assumed Obligations).

(e) Notwithstanding the limitation on recourse liability set forth in clause (b) above, Guarantor agrees to pay all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses that Buyer incurs defending itself or asserting any rights in any litigation commenced by or against a Mortgagor, guarantor, participant or other obligor or lender under a Purchased Asset and arising out of or relating to any event of default by such Mortgagor, guarantor, participant or other obligor or lender under the related Purchased Asset Documents prior to Buyer enforcing its remedies with respect to the related Purchased Asset pursuant to Section 14(b)(iii) or 14(b)(iv) of the Repurchase Agreement.

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Buyer may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Repurchase Agreement or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Buyer in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement or any other Transaction Documents.

(g) Notwithstanding the limitation on recourse liability set forth in clause (b) above, Guarantor further agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of outside counsel) which are actually incurred by Buyer in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, Guarantor under this Guaranty.

(h) No payment or payments made by Seller or any other Person or received or collected by Buyer from Seller or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in

4

reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable for the amount of the Obligations (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(b) hereof) until the Obligations are paid in full; provided, that this provision is not intended to allow Buyer to recover an amount greater than the amount of the Obligations (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(b) hereof).

(i) Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, Guarantor shall make any payment to Buyer on account of Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, Guarantor will notify Buyer in writing that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose.

3. Subrogation. Upon making any payment under this Guaranty, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of Buyer against Seller and any collateral for any Obligations with respect to such payment; provided, that Guarantor shall not seek to enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation until all amounts due and payable by Seller to Buyer under the Transaction Documents or any related documents have been paid in full; and provided, further, that such subrogation rights shall be subordinate in all respects to all amounts owing to Buyer under the Transaction Documents.

4. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations. Until the Obligations have been satisfied or paid in full, Guarantor shall remain obligated under this Guaranty notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by Buyer may be rescinded by Buyer and any of the Obligations continued, and the 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 Buyer, and any Transaction Document and any other document delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as Buyer may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Buyer for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Buyer shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guaranty or any property subject thereto. When making any demand under this Guaranty against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on Seller or any other guarantor, and any failure by Buyer 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 under this Guaranty, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Buyer against Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

5. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. (a) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty constitute a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection. Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon this Guaranty or

5

acceptance of this Guaranty; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guaranty; and all dealings between Seller or Guarantor, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Seller or Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. This Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Buyer, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Seller against Buyer, (iii) any requirement that Buyer exhaust any right to take any action against Seller or any other Person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding to exercise any right against Guarantor under this Guaranty or (iv) 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 for the Obligations or of Guarantor under this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance (other than a defense of payment or performance). When pursuing its rights and remedies under this Guaranty against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies that Buyer may have against Seller or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Buyer 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 any Seller or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Guarantor of any liability under this Guaranty, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of 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 its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, and its successors and assigns, until all the Obligations and the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have been satisfied by payment in full, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Transaction Documents Seller may be free from any Obligations.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby agrees, acknowledges, and represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

(i) Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any defense arising by reason of, and any and all right to assert against Buyer any claim or defense based upon, an election of remedies by Buyer which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes Guarantor’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against Seller, or any other guarantor for reimbursement or contribution, and/or any other rights of Guarantor to proceed against Seller or against any other guarantor, or against any other person or security.

(ii) Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Seller and of all other circumstances which diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear

6

upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Guarantor hereby covenants that it will make its own investigation and will continue to keep itself informed about Seller’s financial condition, the status of other guarantors, if any, of circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment and that it will continue to rely upon sources other than Buyer for such information and will not rely upon Buyer for any such information. Absent a written request for such information by Guarantor to Buyer, Guarantor hereby waives the right, if any, to require Buyer to disclose to Guarantor any information which Buyer may now or hereafter acquire concerning such condition or circumstances including, but not limited to, the release of or revocation by any other guarantor.

(iii) Guarantor has independently reviewed the Transaction Documents and related agreements and has made an independent determination as to the validity and enforceability thereof, and in executing and delivering this Guaranty to Buyer, Guarantor is not in any manner relying upon any other Person’s determination of the validity, and/or enforceability, and/or attachment, and/or perfection of any liens or security interests of any kind or nature granted by Seller or any other guarantor to Buyer, now or at any time and from time to time in the future.

6. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for Seller or any substantial part of Seller’s property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

7. Payments. Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations will be paid to Buyer without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars at the address specified in writing by Buyer.

8. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants that:

(a) Guarantor has the legal capacity and the legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty;

(b) except those that have already been obtained, no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any arbitrator or governmental authority and no consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of Guarantor) is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty;

(c) this Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought in proceedings in equity or at law);

7

(d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by Guarantor will not violate any law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator, a court or other governmental authority, applicable to or binding upon Guarantor or any of its property or to which Guarantor or any of its property is subject (“Requirement of Law”), or any provision of any security issued by Guarantor or of any agreement, instrument or other undertaking to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound (“Contractual Obligation”), and will not result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the properties or revenues of Guarantor pursuant to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of Guarantor;

(e) except as disclosed in writing to Buyer, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to Guarantor’s Knowledge, threatened by or against Guarantor or against any of Guarantor’s properties or revenues with respect to this Guaranty or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, which litigation, investigation or proceeding could be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to Guarantor;

(f) except as disclosed in writing to Buyer, Guarantor has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s property by any Governmental Authority (other than any such taxes, fees or charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings); no tax lien has been filed, and, to Guarantor’s Knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge; and

(g) all financial data concerning Guarantor that has been delivered by or on behalf of Guarantor to Buyer present fairly the financial condition of Guarantor and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP to the extent applicable. Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer, there has been no change in the financial position of Guarantor or in the results of operations of Guarantor, which change is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to Guarantor.

Guarantor agrees that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been made by Guarantor on the date hereof and on the date of each Transaction under the Repurchase Agreement, on and as of such date of the Transaction, as though made under this Guaranty on and as of such date.

9. Covenants. Guarantor shall maintain the following covenants at all times following the date hereof until the Obligations have been paid in full:

10. Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph 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.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Buyer, any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
