(a)    Guarantor.  Guarantor has been duly formed and validly exists in good standing as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Maryland, which is the jurisdiction of its formation.  Guarantor: (a) has all requisite power, authority, legal right and licenses, except for any failure to obtain such a license that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) as of each Purchase Date, is duly qualified to do business in all jurisdictions necessary, except for any failure to obtain such a qualification that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) has been duly authorized by all necessary action, to (w) own, lease and operate its properties and assets, (x) conduct its business as presently conducted, and (y) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Guaranty and any other Repurchase Documents to which it is a party.

(b)    Guaranty.  This Guaranty and each other Repurchase Document to which Guarantor is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity.  The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and each other Repurchase Document to which it is a party does not and will not (i) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any (x) Governing Document, Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligation or Contractual Obligation applicable to Guarantor or any of its properties or assets, (y) Requirements of Law, or (z) approval, consent, judgment, decree, order or demand of any Governmental Authority, except, in each case, for any breach set forth in this sentence that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of the properties or assets of Guarantor.

Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Guarantor or any Affiliate (excluding any Affiliate that is a Variable Interest Entity) of Guarantor.  Guarantor has received or will receive reasonably equivalent value for this Guaranty.

Guarantor is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due.

The audited consolidated financial statements of Guarantor as at the fiscal year most recently ended (2014), including, but not limited to, the related audited balance sheet, the related audited statements of income, partners’ equity, retained earnings and cash flows, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, reported on without a “going concern” or like qualification arising out of the audit conducted by Guarantor’s independent certified public accountants, copies of which have been delivered to Buyer, are complete and correct and present fairly the financial condition of Guarantor as of such date and the results of its operations and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended.  All such financial statements, including related schedules and notes, were prepared in accordance with GAAP except as disclosed therein.  Guarantor does not have any material contingent liability or liability for Taxes or any long term lease or unusual forward or long term commitment, including any Derivative Contract, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or notes.  Since the date of the financial statements and other information delivered to Buyer prior to the Closing Date, Guarantor has not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of any material part of its property or assets (except pursuant to the Repurchase Documents) or acquired any property or assets (including Equity Interests of any other Person) that are material in relation to the financial condition of Guarantor or any Seller.
(e)    True and Complete Disclosure.  The information, reports, certificates, documents, financial statements, operating statements, forecasts, books, records, files, exhibits and schedules furnished by or on behalf of Guarantor to Buyer in connection with this Guaranty, the Repurchase Documents and any Transaction, 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, the Repurchase Documents and any Transaction will be true, correct and complete in all material respects, or in the case of projections will be based on reasonable estimates prepared and presented in good faith, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.

Guarantor believes that it is and will be able to pay and perform each agreement, duty, obligation and covenant contained in the Repurchase Documents and any Asset Documents to which it is a party, and that it is not subject to any agreement, obligation, restriction or Requirements of Law which would unduly burden its ability to do so or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Guarantor has no Knowledge of any actual or prospective development, event or other fact that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Internal Control Event has occurred.
(h)    REIT Status. Guarantor has not engaged in any material “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) and (C) of the Code.

There is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim relating to any such taxes now pending or, to the Knowledge of Guarantor, threatened by any Governmental Authority which is not being contested in good faith as provided above.  Neither Guarantor nor any Affiliate of Guarantor has entered into any agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into any agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of Guarantor or any Affiliate of or Guarantor not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations.

Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Guaranty or the other Repurchase Documents shall affect any right that Buyer may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty of the other Repurchase Documents against Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.  Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty and the other Repurchase Documents in any court referred to above, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
19.    Important Waivers.
(i)    TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN GUARANTOR AND BUYER OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS OR COURSE OF CONDUCT BETWEEN THEM RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY STATEMENTS (WRITTEN OR ORAL) OR OTHER ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY.  GUARANTOR WILL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.  INSTEAD, ANY SUCH DISPUTE RESOLVED IN COURT WILL BE RESOLVED IN A BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.
(ii)    TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION WHATSOEVER INVOLVING ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER OR 

- 10 -




ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH WAIVED DAMAGES ARE BASED ON STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT, COMMON LAW OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS KNOWN AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OF ACTION.
(iii)     EACH PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF BUYER OR AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTY OR AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE ANY OF THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 19 IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES.  THE SCOPE OF SUCH WAIVERS IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL THEORY.
(iv)    EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 19 ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SUCH PARTY TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH, THAT SUCH PARTY HAS ALREADY RELIED ON SUCH WAIVERS IN ENTERING INTO THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, AND THAT SUCH PARTY WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON SUCH WAIVERS IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS UNDER THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED SUCH WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL AND OTHER RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
(v)    THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 19 ARE IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT THEY MAY NOT BE MODIFIED ORALLY, AND SHALL APPLY TO ANY AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO ANY OF THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS GUARANTY MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
(vi)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 19 SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS AND THE INDEFEASIBLE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS.
20.    Setoff.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Repurchase Documents, Requirements of Law or otherwise, Guarantor, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates (excluding in this Section 20 any Affiliate that is a Variable Interest Entity), hereby grants to Buyer and each Indemnified Person, to secure repayment of the Repurchase Obligations, a right of set-off upon any and all of the following:  (i)  monies, securities, collateral or other property of Guarantor and its respective Affiliates and any proceeds from the foregoing, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person, for the account of Guarantor, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, (ii) any and all deposits (general, specified, special, time, demand, provisional or final) and credits, claims or Indebtedness of Guarantor or any Affiliate Guarantor at any time existing, (iii) any obligation owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor and (iv) any Repurchase Obligations or Indebtedness owed by Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor and any Indebtedness owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether or not arising under the Repurchase Documents and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the amount or obligation and in each case at any time held or owing by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person to

or for the credit of Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.  Each of Buyer, each Affiliate of Buyer and each Indemnified Person is hereby authorized upon any amount becoming due and payable by Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor to Buyer or any Indemnified Person under the Repurchase Documents, the Repurchase Obligations or otherwise or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantor and each Affiliate of Guarantor to the extent permitted by any Requirements of Law, to set-off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set-off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or any Indemnified Person by Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, irrespective of whether Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall have made any demand under the Repurchase Documents and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts, and in all cases without waiver or prejudice of Buyer’s rights to recover any deficiency.  Guarantor and all Affiliates of Guarantor shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and the other Indemnified Parties by Guarantor and all Affiliates of Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, and Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to exercise the rights of set-off provided for above.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED ASSETS OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS UNDER THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THE FOREGOING RIGHT OF SET-OFF, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY GUARANTOR AND EACH AFFILIATE OF GUARANTOR.
