(b)    The Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or Buyers 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, the Guarantor under this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the termination of the Repurchase Agreement or (ii) the Obligations are paid in full, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto the Seller may be free from any Obligations.

(c)    No payment or payments made by the Seller or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent from the 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 reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable for the amount of the Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full.
(d)     Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, the Guarantor shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyer Parties on account of the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Guarantor will notify the Administrative Agent in writing that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose.
3.    Right of Set-off. The Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties is hereby irrevocably authorized at any time and from time to time without prior notice to the Guarantor, any such notice being hereby waived by the Guarantor, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all monies and other property of the Guarantor, 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 and Buyers or any affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties may elect, on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties against the Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Repurchase Agreement and the other Program Agreements or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent has made any demand for payment and although such Obligations and liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Guarantor promptly after exercise of any such set-off and the

- 3 -
LEGAL02/37795261v9


application made by the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent or Buyers may have.
4.    Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of the Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or Buyers, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or Buyers against the Seller or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or Buyers for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Seller or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or Buyers by the Seller on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Repurchase Agreement and the other Program Agreements are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amounts shall be held by the Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.
5.    Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations. Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Guarantor, and without prior notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent, 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 the Administrative Agent or Buyers, and the Repurchase Agreement and the other Program Agreements, and any other document in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Seller or any other guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative Agent to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Seller or any such other guarantor or any release of the Seller or such other guarantor shall not relieve the Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or

- 4 -
LEGAL02/37795261v9


as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or Buyers against the Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
6.    Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional.
(a)    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 the Administrative Agent upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; the 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 the Seller or the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Seller or the 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 or enforceability of the Repurchase Agreement and the other Program Agreements, any of the Obligations or any lien on the collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Seller against the Administrative Agent or Buyers, (iii) any defense Guarantor has to performance hereunder and any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Seller or the Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Seller for the Obligations, or of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the 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 Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantor's liability hereunder, or (v) any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (1) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, such as nonjudicial foreclosure, or (2) any election by the Administrative Agent under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, as now and hereafter in effect (or any successor statute), to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Guarantor. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent may, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies that they may have against the 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 the Administrative Agent to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the 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 the Seller or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the 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 the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties against the Guarantor. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantor and their successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Buyers and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns,

- 5 -
LEGAL02/37795261v9


until all the Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have been satisfied by payment in full, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Repurchase Agreement and the other Program Agreements, the Seller may be free from any Obligations.
(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby agrees, acknowledges, and represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Buyers as follows:
(i)    Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, and any and all right to assert against the Administrative Agent and Buyers any claim or defense based upon, an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and Buyers which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes Guarantor’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against the Seller or any other guarantor for reimbursement or contribution, and/or any other rights of the Guarantor to proceed against the Seller, against any other guarantor, or against any other person or security.
(ii)    Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of the Seller and of all other circumstances which diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. The Guarantor hereby covenants that it will make its own investigation and will continue to keep itself informed of the Seller’s financial condition, the status of other guarantors, if any, of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment and that it will continue to rely upon sources other than the Administrative Agent for such information and will not rely upon the Administrative Agent for any such information. Absent a written request for such information by the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, Guarantor hereby waives its right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent to disclose to Guarantor any information which the Administrative Agent 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 Repurchase Agreement, and the other Program Agreements and related agreements and has made an independent determination as to the validity and enforceability thereof, and in executing and delivering this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent, Guarantor is not in any manner relying upon the validity, and/or enforceability, and/or attachment, and/or perfection of any Liens or security interests of any kind or nature granted by the Seller or any other guarantor to the Administrative Agent, now or at any time and from time to time in the future.
7.    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 the Administrative Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Seller or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
8.    Payments. Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars.

(c)    This Guaranty when executed will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject (i) as to the enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) to general principles of equity.
(d)    Guarantor will realize a direct economic benefit as a result of the amounts paid by Administrative Agent to Seller pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement and the other Program Agreements.
10.    Reserved.
11.    Negative Covenants. Guarantor covenants and agrees with Administrative Agent and Buyers that, during the term of the Repurchase Agreement it will make those covenants and agreements with Administrative Agent and Buyers as set forth in Sections 6.03, 6.07, 6.08 and 6.09 of the Credit Agreement which are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis. When making those covenants and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement with the Administrative Agent and Buyers under this Guaranty, the defined terms used therein unless modified hereunder shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement and section references and references to schedules and exhibits shall refer to those sections, schedules and exhibits in the Credit Agreement. To the extent provisions of the Credit Agreement are incorporated by reference and such provisions use other defined terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, such defined terms are hereby incorporated by reference as well. Notwithstanding that the Credit Agreement may be terminated, the provisions

- 7 -
LEGAL02/37795261v9


incorporated by reference into this Guaranty shall survive and continue to bind the Guarantor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following defined terms used in Article 6 of the Credit Agreement and sections in Article 6 of the Credit Agreement shall have the following meanings and/or usages and are hereby amended as follows under the Program Agreements:
“Borrower” shall mean “Guarantor”.
The reference to the term “Closing Date” in the definition of Unrestricted Subsidiary (as used in Article 6) shall mean the “Closing Date” as defined in the Credit Agreement.
The use of the terms “Default” and “Event of Default” in Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement as incorporated herein by reference shall mean a Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and a Default or Event of Default solely related to Section 15(o)(Guarantor Breach) of the Repurchase Agreement.
All references to restrictions on dividends imposed on any Person other than the Guarantor shall be deemed deleted.
12.    Credit Agreement. Guarantor shall promptly provide to Administrative Agent all amendments, waivers, modifications and supplements to the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the obligations under this Section 12 will be deemed to be satisfied by Guarantor through arranging for Administrative Agent to receive automatic email notifications from Guarantor with respect to such items.
13.    Event of Default. If an Event of Default under the Repurchase Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing (subject to any applicable cure period), the Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor and Administrative Agent, the Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement and other Program Agreements may be declared to be due for purposes of this Guaranty notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any such declaration as against Seller and that, in the event of any such declaration (or attempted declaration), such Obligations shall forthwith become due by the Guarantor for purposes of this Guaranty.
14.    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.

LEGAL02/37795261v9

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the 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 the 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 the Administrative Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
17.    Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law. None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties, provided that any provision of this Guaranty may be waived by the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties in a letter or agreement executed by the Administrative Agent or by facsimile or electronic transmission from the Administrative Agent. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyer Parties and its respective successors and assigns. Administrative Agent has the sole, exclusive and non-delegable right and power to enforce this Agreement, the Repurchase Agreement, and any other Program Agreement against the Guarantor, as agent for the other Buyers notwithstanding any term, conditions or provision of this Guaranty or any other Program Agreement to the contrary.
