WHEREAS, Guarantor is furnishing its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined) in order to induce the Purchaser (as hereinafter defined) to purchase certain Eligible Mortgage Loans under the Master Repurchase Agreement (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Master Repurchase Agreement”), dated April 23, 2018, between Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. (“RMS” or “Seller”) and Barclays Bank PLC, as agent (the “Agent”) and purchaser (the “Purchaser”).
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used herein with the same meanings given to such terms in the Master Repurchase Agreement.
Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Existing Guaranty in its entirety as follows:
SECTION 1. Guarantee.
(a) Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Purchaser and the Agent the due and punctual payment by, and performance of, the Obligations (as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement) by Seller arising under or in connection with the Program Documents (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.
(b) Guarantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives presentation to, demand for payment from and protest to Seller, and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment, notice of acceleration and notice of intent to accelerate.

(c) Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of performance and of payment when due and not just of collection, and waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any right to require that any resort be had by the Agent or the Purchaser to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit, account or credit on the books of the Agent in favor of Seller or to any other Person.
(d) Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Seller and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and Guarantor hereby agrees that neither the Purchaser nor the Agent shall have any duty to advise Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event the Agent or Purchaser, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to Guarantor, the Agent or Purchaser, as applicable, shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which the Agent or Purchaser, as applicable, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to Guarantor.
(e) This guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Program Documents or any other instrument evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefore or by any other circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to this Guaranty. Neither the Purchaser nor the Agent make any representation or warranty in respect to any such circumstances or has any duty or responsibility whatsoever to Guarantor in respect to the management and maintenance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral which may secure the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 2. No Impairment of Guaranty. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:
(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, claim, waiver, release, surrender, of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto;
(b) any modification, amendment or restatement of or supplement to the Program Documents or any other instrument or document delivered in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby;
(c) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations
2
or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) any change in the corporate, partnership or other existence, structure or ownership of Seller, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Seller, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of Seller;
(e) the existence of any setoff, claim, counterclaim, recoupment, termination or other rights which Guarantor may have at any time against Seller or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(g) the failure of the Agent or the Purchaser to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any;
(h) the election by, or on behalf of the Agent or the Purchaser, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et. seq.) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;
(i) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by Seller, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(k) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by Seller, willful or otherwise, the Agent or any other person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
SECTION 3. Continuation and Reinstatement, etc.
(a) Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Purchaser or the Agent upon the bankruptcy or other reorganization of Seller or otherwise. In furtherance of the provisions of this Guaranty, and not in limitation of any other right which the Purchaser or the
3
Agent may have at law or in equity against Seller by virtue hereof, upon failure of Seller to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice or otherwise, Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Purchaser or the Agent, forthwith pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser or the Agent in cash an amount equal to the unpaid amount of all such Guaranteed Obligation, and thereupon the Purchaser or the Agent shall assign such Guaranteed Obligation, together with all security interests, if any, then held by the Agent or the Purchaser in respect of such Guaranteed Obligation, to Guarantor.
(b) Upon payment by Guarantor of any sums to the Purchaser and the Agent hereunder, all rights of Guarantor against Seller, arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior final and indefeasible payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) to the Purchaser and the Agent. If an amount shall be paid to Guarantor for the account of Seller, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
SECTION 4. Representation and Warranties. Guarantor makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser and the Agent, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty:
