by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantors, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Buyer may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors to the Buyer hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates against the Guarantors, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Master Repurchase Agreement as the Buyer may elect, whether or not the Buyer has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured.

The rights of the Buyer and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Buyer and its Affiliates may have.

8. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of the Guarantors by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, the Guarantors shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Buyer against the Seller or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Buyer for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Seller or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by the Guarantors hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Buyer by the Seller on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Master Repurchase Agreement is terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantors on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Guarantors in trust for the Buyer, segregated from other funds of each Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantors, be turned over to the Buyer in the exact form received by the Guarantors (duly indorsed by the related Guarantor to the Buyer, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Buyer may determine.

9. Amendments, Etc. with Respect to the Obligations. The Guarantors shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Guarantors and without notice to or further assent by the Guarantors, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Buyer may be rescinded by the Buyer and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral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 the Buyer, and the Master Repurchase Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Buyer may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Buyer for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Buyer shall not have any 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 hereunder against any Guarantor, the Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Seller or any other guarantor, and any failure by the Buyer 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 Guarantors of their obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Buyer against the Guarantors. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

10. Waiver of Rights. The Guarantors waive 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 Buyer 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 and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. The Guarantors waive diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Seller or the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations.

11. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. The Guarantors understand and agree that this Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of the full and punctual payment and performance by the Seller of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only, and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that the Buyer first attempt to collect any of the obligations from the Seller, without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Master Repurchase Agreement, any of the 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 the Buyer, (b) 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 the Seller against the Buyer, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Seller or the Guarantors) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Seller from the Obligations, or of the Guarantors from this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantors, the Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Seller or any other Person or any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Buyer 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 Guarantors 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 Buyer against the Guarantors. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Buyer, and its successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall have been satisfied by payment in full and the Master Repurchase Agreement shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Master Repurchase Agreement the Seller may be free from any Obligations. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any assignment of the Seller’s rights and obligations under the Master Repurchase Agreement to an affiliate.

12. 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 Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Seller or any of the Guarantors, 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 of the Guarantors or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

13. Payments. The Guarantors hereby guarantee that payments hereunder will be paid to the Buyer without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars in accordance with the wiring instructions of the Buyer.

15. 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.

16. Integration. This Guaranty and the Master Repurchase Agreement represent the agreement of the Guarantors with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no promises or representations by the Buyer relative to the subject matter hereof or thereof not reflected herein or therein.

17. 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 the Guarantors and the Buyer, provided that any provision of this Guaranty may be waived by the Buyer.

(b) The Buyer shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 17(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or 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 the Buyer, 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 Buyer of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Buyer would otherwise have on any future occasion.
