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

 

2.              Guaranty. (a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to Buyer and its successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns the
prompt and complete payment and performance by Sellers when due (whether at the
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.  This
Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in
full, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto a Seller may be free
from any Obligations.

 

(b)         Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including,

be paid or incurred by Buyer 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,
Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

(c)          No payment or payments made by a Seller, Guarantor, any other
guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by Buyer from a Seller,
Guarantor, any other 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 Obligations shall be deemed
to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor

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

 

3.              Right of Set-off.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default hereunder or under any Program Document or
failure by a Seller or Guarantor to timely perform any of its Obligations as set
forth herein or in the Repurchase Agreement, Buyer is hereby irrevocably
authorized at any time and from time to time without notice to Guarantor, any
such notice being hereby 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

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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, on account of the liabilities of
Guarantor 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 liabilities and claims may be contingent or
unmatured.  Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any of
the Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or its
Affiliates to any Seller or Guarantor against all of any Seller’s or Guarantor’s
obligations to Buyer or its Affiliates, whether under this Guaranty or under any
other agreement between the parties or between any Seller or Guarantor or any
other guarantor and any Affiliate of Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such
obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right
to recover any deficiency.  Buyer shall notify Guarantor 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 paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Buyer may have.

 

4.              Subrogation.  Upon making any payment hereunder, Guarantor shall
be subrogated to the rights of Buyer against Sellers and any Purchased Items
under the Repurchase Agreement for any Obligations with respect to such payment;
provided that Guarantor shall not seek to enforce any right or receive any
payment by way of subrogation until all amounts due and payable by any Seller to
Buyer under the Repurchase Agreement or any other Program document have been
paid in full.  Until one year and one day after payment of the full amount and
discharge of all Obligations, the performance of all of Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder and the termination of this Guaranty, neither any payment made by or
for the account of Guarantor nor any performance or enforcement of any
obligation pursuant to this Guaranty shall entitle Guarantor by subrogation,
indemnity, exoneration, reimbursement, contribution or otherwise to any payment
by any Seller or to any payment from or out of any property of any Seller, and
Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy against any Seller or any
property of any Seller by reason of any performance by Guarantor of this
Guaranty.  If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been
paid in full or performed, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of
Buyer and shall forthwith be paid to Buyer to be credited and applied upon the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this
Guaranty.

 

5.              Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations.  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 Obligations made by Buyer may be
rescinded by 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
Buyer, and the Repurchase Agreement, and the other Program Documents and any
other document in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, pursuant to its terms 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 Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Buyer shall have no 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 Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no
obligation to, make a similar demand on a Seller or any other guarantor, and any
failure by Buyer to make any such demand or to collect any payments from a
Seller or any such other guarantor or any release of a Seller or such other
guarantor shall not relieve Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities
hereunder, and shall not impair or

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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.

 

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 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 in reliance
upon this Guaranty; and all dealings between a Seller or Guarantor, on the one
hand, and Buyer, 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 Sellers or the Guaranty 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, the other Program Documents, any of the Obligations or any
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 of payment or performance) which
may at any time be available to or be asserted by a 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 a Seller for the Obligations, or
of Guarantor under this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When
pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but
shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies that they may
have against a 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 a 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 a 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. 
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 its successors and
assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, and successors,
indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations and the
obligations of 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 a Seller may be free from any Obligations.

 

(b)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby
agrees, acknowledges, and represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

 

(i)                         Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by
reason of, and any and all right to assert against Buyer any claim or defense
based upon, an election of remedies by Buyer which in any manner impairs,
affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes Guarantor’s subrogation
rights, rights to proceed against a Seller or any other guarantor for
reimbursement or contribution, and/or any other rights of Guarantor to proceed
against a Seller, against any other guarantor, or against any other person or
security.

 

(ii)                      Guarantor is presently informed of the financial
condition of Sellers and of all other circumstances which diligent inquiry would
reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations.  Guarantor
hereby covenants that it will make its own investigation and will continue to
keep itself informed of each 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 Buyer for
such information

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and will not rely upon Buyer for any such information.  Absent a written request
for such information by Guarantor to Buyer, Guarantor hereby waives its right,
if any, to require Buyer to disclose to  Guarantor any information which Buyer
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 related agreements and has made an independent determination as to
the validity and enforceability thereof, and in executing and delivering this
Guaranty to Buyer, 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 Sellers or any other
guarantor to Buyer, 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 Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of a Seller 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 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 Buyer without deduction, abatement, recoupment, reduction, set-off or
counterclaim in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with the wiring instructions of
Buyer.

 

9.              Representations and Warranties.  Guarantor represents and
warrants that:

 

(a)         Guarantor (i) is a real estate investment trust duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland,
(ii) has all requisite trust or other power, and has all governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its assets and carry on
its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack
of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) is qualified to do business and
is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of the
business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where
failure so to qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually or in
the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) is in compliance in
all material respects with all Requirements of Law.

 

(b)         Guarantor has all necessary power and authority to conduct its
business as currently conducted; Guarantor has all necessary trust or other
power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
under this Guaranty and each of the Program Documents to which it is a party.

 

(c)          The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of each of
this Guaranty and the Program Documents to which it is a party has been duly
authorized by all necessary trust or other action on its part; and this Guaranty
and each other Program Document to which it is a party has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its
terms.

 

(d)         No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or
registrations with, any Governmental Authority, or any other Person, are
necessary for the execution, delivery or

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and each other Program Documents to
which it is a party or for the legality, validity or enforceability thereof.

 

(e)          Neither (i) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and each
other Program Document to which it is a party, nor (ii) the consummation of the
transactions therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions
thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of the charter or by-laws (or
equivalent documents) of Guarantor, or any applicable law, rule or regulation,
or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority
(“Requirement of Law”), or other material agreement or instrument to which
Guarantor, or any of its Subsidiaries, is a party or by which any of them or any
of their property is bound or to which any of them or their property is subject
(“Contractual Obligation”), or constitute a default under any such, or result in
the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of Guarantor or any of
its Subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

 

(f)           Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or indirect
benefit from the making of this Guaranty with respect to the Obligations.

 

(g)          There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations or
proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against Guarantor or any of
its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate or affecting any of the property thereof
before any Governmental Authority, (i) as to which individually or in the
aggregate there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse decision which would be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which questions the
validity or enforceability of any of this Guaranty or any other Program Document
to which it is a party or any action to be taken in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby and there is a reasonable likelihood of a
Material Adverse Effect or adverse decision.

 

(h)         Guarantor and its Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all
Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required
to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or
pursuant to any assessment received by any of them, except for any such taxes,
if any, that are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves
have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Guarantor
and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in
the opinion of Guarantor, adequate. Any taxes, fees and other governmental
charges payable by Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Guaranty and the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the Program
Documents to which it is a party have been paid.

 

(i)             As of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated hereby, the fair value of the assets of Guarantor is
greater than the fair value of the liabilities (including, without limitation,
contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as a
liability on the financial statements of Guarantor in accordance with GAAP) of
Guarantor and Guarantor is and will be solvent, is and will be able to pay its
debts as they mature and does not and will not have an unreasonably small
capital to engage in the business in which it is engaged and proposes to engage.
Guarantor does not intend to incur, or believes that it has incurred, debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature). Guarantor is not
contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or
consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Guarantor or any of its
assets.

 

(j)            Guarantor has and will continue to have independent means of
obtaining information concerning each Seller’s affairs, financial conditions and
business.  Buyer shall not have

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any duty or responsibility to provide Guarantor with any credit or other
information concerning any Seller’s affairs, financial condition or business
which may come into Buyer’s possession.

 

(k)   Guarantor (or a Seller on its behalf) has heretofore furnished to Buyer a
copy of its audited consolidated balance sheets and the audited consolidated
balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries, each as at December 31, 2012
with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP, a copy of which has been
provided to Buyer. Guarantor (or a Seller on its behalf) has also heretofore
furnished to Buyer the related consolidated statements of income and retained
earnings and of cash flows for Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries for
the one year period ending December 31, 2012, setting forth in comparative form
the figures for the previous year.  All such financial statements are complete
and correct in all material respects and fairly present the consolidated
financial condition of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated
results of their operations for the fiscal year ended on said date, all in
accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since December 31, 2012
there has been no development or event nor any prospective development or event
which has had or should reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(l)    The information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules
furnished in writing by or on behalf of Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries to
Buyer in connection with the negotiation, preparation or delivery of this
Guarantor and the other Program Documents to which it 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 or any
of its Subsidiaries to Buyer in connection with this Guaranty and the other
Program 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
to a Responsible Officer that, after due inquiry, could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the
other Program Documents to which it is a party 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.

 

(m)  No practice, procedure or policy employed or proposed to be employed by
Guarantor in the conduct of its business violates any law, regulation, judgment,
agreement, regulatory consent, order or decree applicable to it which, if
enforced, would result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Guarantor.

 

(n)       Neither Guarantor nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment
company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Guarantor is not
subject to any Federal or state statute or regulation which limits its ability
to guarantee indebtedness.

 

(o)   Neither Guarantor nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with
respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing. No Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation of Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries has a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(p)   Each Plan which is not a Multiemployer Plan, and, to the knowledge of
Guarantor, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects
with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the
applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Federal or State law. No event or condition has occurred and is continuing as to
which Guarantor would be under an obligation to furnish a report to Buyer under
Section 10(a)(v) hereof.  The present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations under each Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA (based on the
assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements
reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such
Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all Plans
(based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial
statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets
of all such Plans.  None of Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries provide any
material medical or health benefits to any of its respective former employees at
no cost to Guarantor or such Subsidiaries, as applicable, as an employer, other
than as required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, as
amended, or similar state or local law (collectively, “COBRA”).

 

Guarantor agrees that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be
deemed to have been made by Guarantor at all times during the term of this
Guaranty.

 

10.  Covenants.

 

(a)       Guarantor shall deliver to Buyer:

Agreement, together with the consolidated balance sheets of Guarantor and each
of its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of such month and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income and retained earnings for Guarantor
and each of its consolidated Subsidiaries for such month and the portion of the
fiscal year through the end of such month, accompanied by a certificate of a
Responsible Officer of Guarantor, which certificate shall state that said

earnings and of cash flows for Guarantor and each of its consolidated
Subsidiaries for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the
figures for the previous year, accompanied by an opinion thereon of independent
certified public accountants of recognized national standing, which opinion
shall not be qualified as to scope of audit or going concern and shall state
that said consolidated financial statements fairly present the consolidated
financial condition and results of operations of Guarantor and its consolidated
Subsidiaries at the end of, and for, such fiscal year in accordance with GAAP;
and

 

(iv)          From time to time such other information regarding the financial
condition, operations, or business of Guarantor as Buyer may reasonably request.
