(c) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guaranty shall refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guaranty, and section and paragraph references are to sections and paragraphs of this Guaranty unless otherwise specified.

(d) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

  1. Guaranty.

(a) Guarantor hereby, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to Buyer and its successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Guarantor Obligations when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).

(b) Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all actual and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of outside counsel) which may be paid or incurred by Buyer in enforcing, or obtaining the advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting any or all of the Guarantor Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, Guarantor under this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the latest to occur of (i) the termination of the Repurchase Agreement and this Guaranty and the payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) the payment in full of the Guarantor Obligations.

(c) Other than payments made by or otherwise received or collected from Guarantor in respect of the Guarantor Obligations, no payment or payments made by any Seller, Guarantor, or any other Person or received or collected by Buyer from any Seller, Guarantor 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 Guarantor Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable for Guarantor Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full and the Repurchase Agreement is terminated subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof.

(d) Guarantor, without duplication for amounts paid by Sellers, shall pay additional amounts to, and indemnify, Buyer (including for purposes of this Section 2, any assignee, successor or participant) with respect to Taxes (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement) imposed on payments pursuant to this Guaranty to the same extent as Sellers would have paid additional amounts and indemnified Buyer with respect to Taxes under Section 8 of the Repurchase Agreement if Guarantor were a Seller under the Repurchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any such payments are in addition to Guarantor’s obligation to pay any amounts otherwise required to be paid by Sellers to Buyer.

4


(e) 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 hereunder, Guarantor will notify Buyer in writing that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose.

  1. Right of Set-off. Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Buyer at any time and from time to time without notice to Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all monies and other property of 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 Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor or any part thereof in such amounts as Buyer may elect against and on account of the Guarantor Obligations, Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement and liabilities of Guarantor to Buyer hereunder, and claims of every nature and description of Buyer against Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Repurchase Agreement, or otherwise, as Buyer may elect, whether or not Buyer has made any demand for payment and although such Guarantor Obligations, such Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement and liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Buyer 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 3 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Buyer may have.

  2. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of Guarantor by Buyer, Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Buyer against any Seller or any other Person or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by Buyer for the payment of the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Seller or any other Person in respect of payments made by Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to Buyer on account of the Guarantor Obligations are paid in full and the Repurchase Agreement is terminated. Guarantor hereby subordinates all of its subrogation rights against any Seller to the full payment of the Obligations due Buyer under the Repurchase Agreement for a period of ninety-one (91) days following the final payment of the last of all of the Obligations under the Facility Documents. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Guarantor, be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by Guarantor (duly indorsed by Guarantor to Buyer, if required), to be applied against Guarantor Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Buyer may determine.

5


  1. Amendments, Etc. with Respect to Guarantor Obligations; Waiver of Rights. 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 of any of the Guarantor Obligations made by Buyer may be rescinded by Buyer and any of the Guarantor Obligations continued, and Guarantor 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 the Repurchase Agreement, and the other Facility Documents and any other documents executed and 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 Guarantor Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Buyer shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for Guarantor Obligations or for this Guaranty or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on Sellers or any other Person, and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand or to collect any payments from Sellers or any such other Person or any release of Sellers or such other Person 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 Buyer against Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

  2. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

(a) Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guarantor Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty, Guarantor 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 any Seller and Guarantor, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.

(b) Guarantor hereby expressly waives all set-offs and counterclaims and all diligence, presentments, demands for payment, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, notices of sale, notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Seller or Guarantor, surrender or other handling or disposition of assets subject to the Repurchase Agreement, any requirement that Buyer exhaust any right, power or remedy or take any action against any Seller or against any assets subject to the Repurchase Agreement, and other formalities of any kind.

(c) Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance of the Guarantor Obligations (and not of their collectability only), and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Buyer first attempt to collect or seek performance of any of the Guarantor Obligations from any Seller, without regard to (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the 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 Buyer, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense

6


of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Seller against Buyer, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Seller or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Seller from the Obligations, or of Guarantor from this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

(d) When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any 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 any 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 hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Buyer against Guarantor.

(e) 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 Buyer, and its successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations and Guarantor Obligations shall have been satisfied by payment in full and the Repurchase Agreement shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto any Seller may be free from any Obligations.

(f) Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all defenses of surety to which it may be entitled by statute or otherwise.

  1. Reinstatement. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, and this Guaranty, shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, and be continued in full force and effect, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded, invalidated, declared fraudulent or preferentially set aside or must otherwise be restored, returned or repaid by Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of a Seller or Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, a Seller or Guarantor or any substantial part of its or their property, or for any other reason, all as though such payments had not been made.

  2. Payments. Guarantor hereby agrees that payments hereunder will be paid to Buyer without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars.

  3. Guarantor Obligations Enforceable. Guarantor agrees that, as between Guarantor and Buyer, Guarantor Obligations 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 a Seller and that, in the event of any such declaration (or attempted declaration), Guarantor Obligations shall forthwith become due by Guarantor for purposes of this Guaranty.

(h) Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing which are pending or threatened in writing) or other legal or arbitrable proceedings affecting Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting any of the Property of any of them before any federal or state court or before any Governmental Authority that (i) questions or challenges the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty, any other Facility Document to which Guarantor is a party or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) makes a claim which, individually or in the aggregate with other claims, is in an amount greater than the applicable Litigation Threshold or (iii) which, individually or in the aggregate, if adversely determined, could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or constitute an Event of Default.

The information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of Guarantor to Buyer in connection with the negotiation, preparation or delivery of this Guaranty and each other Facility Document to which Guarantor is a party or included herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Guarantor to Buyer in connection with this Guaranty and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be true, complete and accurate in every material respect, or (in the case of projections) based on reasonable estimates, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified. There is no fact known, development or event that is known to Guarantor, nor to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of Guarantor, after reasonable due inquiry any prospective development or event, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the other Facility Documents or in a report, financial statement, exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other writing furnished to Buyer for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(n) No Reliance. Guarantor has made its own independent decisions to enter into this Guaranty and each Facility Document to which it is a party and as to whether it is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Guarantor is not relying upon any advice from Buyer as to any aspect of this Guaranty, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment thereof. Neither Buyer nor any other party on Buyer’s behalf has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty. In addition, Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of each Seller and is, or will be, familiar with the value of any and all Mortgage Assets intended to be subject to Transactions; however, as between Buyer and Guarantor, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the value of the Mortgage Assets as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.

(p) ERISA.

(i) No liability under Section 4062, 4063, 4064 or 4069 of ERISA has been or is expected by Guarantor to be incurred by Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate thereof with respect to any Plan in an amount that could reasonably be expected to create liability for Guarantor in excess of $500,000.

(ii) No Plan of Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate thereof had any minimum required contribution under Section 430 of the Code or any required installment under Section 430(j) of the Code that was due but unpaid or underpaid as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Plan ended prior to the date hereof, and no such Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code failed to meet the requirements of Section 436 of the Code as of such last day. Neither Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate thereof is subject to a Lien in favor of such a Plan as described in Section 430(k) of the Code or Section 303(k) of ERISA. No Plan is, or is reasonably expected to be, in “at risk” status (within the meaning of Section 430 of the Code or Section 303 of ERISA).

(iii) Each Plan of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except where the failure to comply would not result in any liability for Guarantor in excess of $500,000.

(iv) None of Guarantor, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred a tax liability under Chapter 43 of the Code or a penalty under Section 502(i) of ERISA which has not been paid in full, except where the incurrence of such tax or penalty is less than $500,000.

(v) None of Guarantor, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate thereof has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan in an amount that could create liability for Guarantor in excess of $500,000.

(q) Plan Assets. Guarantor is not an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3 of Title I of ERISA, or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, or an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 CFR §2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, or is acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. Guarantor is not subject to any state or local statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and none of the assets of Guarantor are “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 CFR §2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA.
