B. As a condition precedent to Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ agreement to engage in the transactions contemplated under the Repurchase Agreement and in order to provide Administrative Agent and Buyers with further assurances that Seller will perform its obligations under the Repurchase Agreement, Guarantor is required to execute and deliver this Guaranty to Administrative Agent and Buyers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual rights and obligations provided herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Guaranty of Obligations. Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees:

(a) the payment when due, upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of Seller to Administrative Agent and Buyers under the Repurchase Agreement, howsoever evidenced, whether now existing or hereafter created or arising, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined; and

(b) the prompt, full and faithful performance and discharge by Seller of each and every term, condition, agreement, representation and warranty on the part of Seller contained in the Repurchase Agreement,  

((a) and (b), collectively and severally, the “Obligations”), whether or not (i) such Obligations are from time to time reduced or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred; (ii) Seller may be liable individually or jointly with others; (iii) recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations; and/or (iv) such Obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable.

2. Guaranty Not Affected by Certain Events.  Neither (a) the dissolution, insolvency or business failure of, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceedings by or against Seller nor (b) the appointment of a receiver for, or the attachment, restraint of or making or levying of any order of court or legal process affecting, the property of Seller shall affect the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers may immediately pursue its rights under this Guaranty against Guarantor upon the occurrence of any such events even though Administrative Agent may be stayed from accelerating or collecting the Obligations from Seller.  Further,

Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may take any actions it deems necessary in any bankruptcy case by or against Seller without releasing or exonerating Guarantor from its obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any of the following actions: (i) permit or suffer the impairment of any Obligations, (ii) make an election under Bankruptcy Code Section 1111(b)(2), (iii) permit or suffer the creation of secured or unsecured credit or debt under Bankruptcy Code Section 364 or (iv) permit or suffer the disallowance, avoidance or subordination of any Obligation or collateral (including, without limitation, the Purchased Assets (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement)).

3. Modification of Obligations. Guarantor authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, (whether or not after termination of this Guaranty), without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute which cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, Obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent in its discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Seller or other obligors.  Administrative Agent and Buyers may, without notice to or the further consent of Seller or Guarantor and subject to the terms of Section 18.5 of the Repurchase Agreement, assign this Guaranty in whole or in part to any person acquiring an interest in the Obligations.

4. Independent Obligation.  The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Seller, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not action is brought against Seller and whether or not Seller is joined in any such action.

5. Primary Obligation.  This Guaranty is one of payment, not of collection, and is the primary obligation of the undersigned. Guarantor waives any right to require Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to (a) proceed against Seller or any other party; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Seller; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent’s power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any personal defense based on or arising out of any personal defense of Seller other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of Seller, or the invalidity or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Seller other than payment in full of the Obligations. Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy Administrative Agent and any Buyer may have against Seller, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid.  Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Seller or any security.

6. Waiver of Rights. 

(a) Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement, Contribution and Similar Rights.  As long as there are outstanding Obligations which have not been paid in full, Guarantor waives any claim, remedy or rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire against Seller or any guarantor of all or any of the Obligations, including, without limitation: (i) any rights of subrogation and contribution, (ii) any rights of reimbursement, (iii) any rights of performance, (iv) any rights of exoneration and/or any rights of indemnification and (v) any rights to participate in any claim or remedy that Administrative Agent or any Buyer has against Seller or any collateral that Administrative Agent or any Buyer now has or hereafter acquires for the Obligations (including, without limitation, the Purchased Assets), whether or not such claim, remedy or rights arise in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the rights to take or receive from Seller, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or rights (such rights, collectively, the “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”).  If, notwithstanding the foregoing,

any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (A) such amount is paid to Guarantor at any time when there are outstanding Obligations or (B) regardless of when such amount is paid to Guarantor, any payment made by Seller to Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers is at any time determined to be a preferential payment, then such amount paid to Guarantor shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Buyers and shall immediately be paid to Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Obligations (subject to Section 11.9 of the Repurchase Agreement), whether matured or unmatured, in such order and manner as Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, shall determine.    

(b) Waiver Regarding Application of Payments.  Guarantor irrevocably waives any rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire to require Administrative Agent or Buyers to apply any amounts received by Administrative Agent or Buyers from whatever source on account of the Obligations in any order or application, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that any amounts received by Administrative Agent or Buyers from whatever source on account of the Obligations may be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of such of the Obligations, and in such order of payment and application, as Administrative Agent may from time to time elect in its sole and absolute discretion. 

(c) Waiver of Notice, Presentment, Demand and Similar Rights.  Guarantor irrevocably waives any rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire with respect to all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of non-performance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations.

(d) Waiver of Priority of Collection and Election of Remedies.  Guarantor irrevocably waives any rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire to require Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to: (i) proceed against Seller or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Seller; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent’s power whatsoever. Administrative Agent may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy Administrative Agent or Buyers may have against Seller without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.  Without expanding any rights of subrogation which Guarantor may possess as set forth in subsection (a) above, Guarantor understands that the exercise by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers of certain rights and remedies contained in the Repurchase Agreement may affect or eliminate any such rights of subrogation against Seller and that Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability hereunder, nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may be available to Administrative Agent, since it is the intent and purpose of Guarantor that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are absolute.  Guarantor irrevocably waives all rights and any defenses arising out of any such election of remedies by Administrative Agent, even though such election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an Obligation, operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Seller or any guarantor of the Obligations or any security.

(e) Waiver of Defenses.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor irrevocably waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of Seller other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based upon or arising out of the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Seller other than payment in full of the Obligations. 

(f) Waiver of Termination.  Guarantor irrevocably waives any right it has to terminate or revoke the continuing nature of this Guaranty and its application to any Obligations.

(g) Waiver of Certain Statutory Rights.  Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof.  Any payment by Seller or other circumstance that operate to toll any statute of limitations as to Seller shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Guarantor.

(h) Subordination if Any Waiver is Invalid or Void.  Guarantor further agrees that to the extent that any waiver of the rights described in this Guaranty is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, invalid, void or voidable for any reason, any rights that Guarantor may have against Seller or against any collateral (including, without limitation, the Purchased Assets) or security, and any rights Guarantor may have against any guarantor of all or some of the Obligations, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights that Administrative Agent and Buyers may have against Seller, any collateral (including, without limitation, the Purchased Assets) or security or any other guarantor of all or some of the Obligations, and no such rights shall be exercised by Guarantor until such time as Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers shall have received indefeasible payment of the full amount of all Obligations and any obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty. 

7. Subordination of Debt and Obligations; Receipt of Payments. Any indebtedness or obligations of (i) Seller to Guarantor or (ii) any guarantor of all or some of the Obligations to Guarantor, now or hereafter existing, is hereby subordinated to the obligations of Seller to Administrative Agent and Buyers.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Repurchase Agreement and for as long as such event is occurring, Guarantor agrees that, until the Obligations have been fully satisfied, it will not seek, accept or retain for its own accounts, any payment from Seller or any such guarantor on account of such subordinated debt.  Any payments received by Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt during such Event of Default shall be collected and received in trust for Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and shall be immediately paid over by Guarantor to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

8. Release of Guarantor.  

(a) Release of Guarantor’s Obligations.  This Guaranty shall in all respects be continuing, absolute and unconditional, and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to Guarantor until all Obligations shall have been fully satisfied and paid and Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall have executed and delivered to Guarantor an express written release or cancellation of this Guaranty.  No compromise, settlement, release or discharge of, or indulgence with respect to, or failure, neglect or omission to enforce or exercise any right against Guarantor, or the fact that at any time or from time to time all the Obligations may have been paid in full, shall release or discharge Guarantor. 

(b) Release of Liability.  The liability of Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guarantee of the Obligations, whether executed by Guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Guarantor hereunder is not affected, impaired or released by (i) any direction of application of payment by Seller or by any other party; (ii) any other guarantee, undertaking or maximum liability of Guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations; (iii) any payment on or in reduction of any other guarantor of all or some of the Obligations; (iv) any revocation or release of any obligations of any other guarantor of all or some of the Obligations; (v) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel of Seller; (vi) any payment made to Administrative Agent or any Buyer on the Obligations that is required to be repaid to Seller pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of Guarantor’s

obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding; (vii) any acceptance by Administrative Agent or any Buyer of any security or collateral for, or other guarantors or obligors upon, any Obligation; (viii) any change, modification or amendment of the Repurchase Agreement; (ix) any failure, neglect or omission to perfect, protect, secure or insure any of the foregoing security interests, liens or encumbrances or the properties, or interest in properties, subject thereto; (x) an increase in the individual or aggregate transaction limits in excess of the amounts initially set forth in the Repurchase Agreement; (xi) any change in Seller’s name or legal structure or the merger of Seller into another legal entity or (xii) any act or omission of any kind or at any time upon the part of Administrative Agent with respect to any matter whatsoever, other than the execution and delivery by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to Guarantor of an express written release or cancellation of this Guaranty.
