4    (vii) that the only credit facilities, including repurchase agreements for  mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, of Guarantor that are presently in effect  and are secured by mortgage loans or provide for the purchase, repurchase or early  funding of mortgage loan sales, are with Persons disclosed to Administrative Agent, on  behalf of Buyers, at the time of application, or thereafter disclosed to Administrative  Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in accordance with Section 3(b)(iv);  (viii) that it has good, valid, insurable (in the case of real property) and  marketable title to all of its properties and other assets, whether real or personal, tangible  or intangible, reflected on the financial statements delivered to Administrative Agent, on  behalf of Buyers, except for such properties and other assets that have been disposed of in  the ordinary course of business of its business, and all such properties and other assets are  free and clear of all liens except as disclosed in such financial statements;  (ix) except as set forth on Schedule 5 to the Agreement, there is no action,  proceeding or investigation pending with respect to which Guarantor has received service  of process or, to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge threatened against it before any court,  administrative agency or other tribunal (A) making a claim individually in an amount  greater than $[***] or in an aggregate amount greater than $[***], or (B) which challenges  the validity or enforceability of any Principal Agreement;   (x) that it and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all Federal, all income and all  other material tax returns and reports required to be filed and has paid all income and  other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied upon it or  its property or income (whether or not shown on such tax returns) that are due and  payable, including interest and penalties, or has provided adequate reserves for the  payment thereof in accordance with GAAP and, in the case of an assessment, is  contesting such payment in good faith and by proper proceedings.

Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a  Material Adverse Effect, Guarantor does not provide or have any obligation to provide or  have any liability with respect to any material medical or health benefits to former  employees other than as required by COBRA.  None of the assets of Guarantor are “plan  assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by  Section 3(42) of ERISA. Guarantor and ERISA Affiliates have made all required  contributions to each Plan, and to each Multiemployer Plan to which it is obligated to  





 






5    contribute, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse  Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,  No event or condition described in clauses (A) through (F) of Section 3(b)(xvi) has  occurred or exists, other than an event or condition with respect to which notice has been  provided in accordance with Section 3(b)(xvi);  (xiii) that neither this Guaranty nor any representations and warranties or  information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing, or  made available for viewing, by or on behalf of Guarantor or any of its Affiliates or  Subsidiaries to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in connection with the  negotiation, preparation or delivery of this Guaranty and the other Principal Agreements  or included herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto, 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.

There is no fact known to it that, after due inquiry, could have a  Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the other Principal  Agreements or in a report, financial statement, exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other  writing furnished in writing to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, for use in  connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby;  (xiv) that neither Guarantor nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to register,  nor will Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries be required to register as a result of the  transactions contemplated hereby, as an “investment company” under the Investment  Company Act and although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to  Seller or Guarantor and Seller, Seller and Guarantor will rely on Section 3(c)(5)(C) under  the Investment Company Act for its exclusion from the definition of “investment  company”; no one acting on Seller’s or Guarantor’s behalf has taken any action that  would require registration of Guarantor under the Investment Company Act, and no one  acting on Guarantor’s behalf has authorized or will authorize any Person to act in such  manner.  Each of Guarantor and Seller is structured so as not to constitute a “covered  fund” as defined in the final regulations issued December 10, 2013, implementing the  “Volcker Rule” (Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer  Protection Act);  (xv) that, as of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to each  Transaction, the fair value of the its assets is greater than the fair value of its liabilities  (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be  recorded as a liability on the financial statements of it in accordance with GAAP) and it 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.  It does not intend to incur, or believe that it has

Accordingly, Seller and Guarantor  shall not grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien upon the Purchased Assets  or the Purchased Items, other than as granted to Administrative Agent, on behalf of  Buyers, in herein and in the Agreement.   4. Reserved.  5. Right of Set-off.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent,  on behalf of Buyers, at any time following a default by Seller or Guarantor in the payment or  performance of any of its obligations under this Guaranty or the Agreement, without notice to  Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantor, to set-off and appropriate and  apply any and all 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 the  Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit of the  account of Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as Administrative Agent, on behalf of  Buyers, may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor to  Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereunder, irrespective of whether or not  Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has made any demand for payment.  Administrative  Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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 5 are in addition  to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which it may  have.  6. No Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Guarantor  hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of Guarantor by Administrative Agent,  Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Administrative Agent or  any Buyer against Seller or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of  offset held by Administrative Agent for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall  Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Seller or any other  guarantor in respect of payments of the Guaranteed Obligations made by Guarantor hereunder,  until all amounts then owing or due to Administrative Agent and any Buyer by Seller on account  of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and the  Agreement is terminated.  If any payment  of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at  any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount  





 






16    shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and shall,  forthwith upon receipt by Guarantor, be turned over to Administrative Agent in the exact form  received by Guarantor (duly indorsed by Guarantor to Administrative Agent, if required), to be  applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as  Administrative Agent may determine.  7. Amendments, Etc. with Respect to the Guaranteed 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 or  performance by Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by Administrative Agent  may be rescinded by Administrative Agent and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued,  and the Guaranteed 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 Administrative Agent, and the Agreement and  any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified,  supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as Administrative Agent may deem advisable  from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by  Administrative Agent or any Buyer for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed  Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Administrative Agent  shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as  security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for this Guaranty or any property subject thereto.   When making any demand hereunder against Guarantor, Administrative Agent may, but shall be  under no obligation to, make a similar demand on Seller or any other guarantor, and any failure  by Administrative Agent to make any such demand or to collect any payments from Seller or any  such other guarantor or any release of Seller or such other guarantor 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 Administrative Agent against Guarantor.  For the  purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal  proceedings.  8. Waiver of Rights.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor waives  any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed  Obligations, and notice of or proof of reliance by Administrative Agent upon this Guaranty or  acceptance of this Guaranty; the Guaranteed 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 Seller and Guarantor, on the one hand,  and Administrative Agent and/or any Buyer, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively  presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.  Guarantor waives  diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment or performance and notice of default or  nonpayment to or upon Guarantor and Seller with respect to the Obligations.  9. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional.  Guarantor understands and agrees that  this Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of the full  and punctual payment and performance by Seller of the Guaranteed Obligations only, and is in  no way conditioned upon any requirement that Administrative Agent first attempt to collect any  of the Obligations from Seller without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of  





 






17    the Principal Agreements, any of the Guaranteed 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 Administrative Agent and Buyers, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a  defense of payment) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Seller against  Administrative Agent (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to  the contrary herein, for purposes of determining the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations  hereunder, Guarantor may assert any defense to payment available to Seller in respect of the  Obligations (other than defenses arising solely as the result of a bankruptcy or insolvency  proceeding)), or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge  of Seller or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or  legal discharge of Seller from the Guaranteed Obligations, or of Guarantor from this Guaranty, in  bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against  Guarantor, Administrative Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and  remedies as it may have against Seller or any other Person or against any collateral security or  guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any  failure by Administrative Agent to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any  payments from 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 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 Administrative Agent or any 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 the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the  benefit of Administrative Agent, and its successors, endorsees, transferees and permitted assigns,  until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied by payment and/or performance in full  and the satisfaction and discharge of the Agreement, notwithstanding that from time to time  during the term of the Agreement, Seller may be free from any Guaranteed Obligations.  10. Reinstatement.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as  the case may be, if, at any time, payment and/or performance, or any part thereof, of any of the  Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative  Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Guarantor  or Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or  trustee or similar officer for, Guarantor or Seller or any substantial part of its property, or  otherwise, all as though such payments and/or such performance had not been made.  11. Payments.  Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to  Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars in accordance with the  wiring instructions of Administrative Agent.  12. Intent.  Guarantor acknowledges and agrees with the provisions set forth in  Section 14.18 of the Repurchase Agreement.  Guarantor and Administrative Agent intend and  acknowledge that (i) this Guaranty is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in  Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in  Section 101(47)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in  Section 741(7)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) this Guaranty is “credit enhancement” that is  “related to” and provided “in connection with” the Agreement and each transaction thereunder  





 






18    and is within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the  Bankruptcy Code and is, therefore, (i) a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in  Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a “securities contract” as that term is defined  in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and (iii) a “master netting agreement” as that  term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and payments and transfers  under this Guaranty constitute transfers made by, to, or for the benefit of a “financial institution,”  “financial participant” or “repo participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(22A)  and 101(46) of the Bankruptcy Code. It is understood and agreed that any party’s right to cause  the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment  amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Guaranty is in each  case a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net  termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection  with this Guaranty as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.   Guarantor and Administrative Agent agree that this Guaranty and each of the documents  executed by the parties in connection with a Transaction are part of an integrated,  simultaneously-closing suite of financial contracts.  Guarantor further agrees that it shall not  challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to  challenge, the characterization of this Guaranty, the Repurchase Agreement or any Transaction  thereunder as a “master netting agreement,” “repurchase agreement” and/or “securities contract”  within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.  13.

Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or electronic signature, shall for all  purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual  signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no  liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic  signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm of otherwise verify  the validity or authenticity thereof. This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts  and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, including without limitation  counterparts transmitted by facsimile or other electronic transmission, each of which, when so  executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one  and the same agreement.

Integration.  This Guaranty represents the agreement of Guarantor with respect to  the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by Administrative Agent  relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein.  16. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  (a) None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended,  supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by Guarantor and  Administrative Agent; provided, that any provision of this Guaranty may be waived by  Administrative Agent by a written instrument executed by Administrative Agent.  (b) Administrative Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument  pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have  waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any  breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in  exercising, on the part of Administrative Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall  operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege  hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,  power or privilege.  A waiver by Administrative Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any  one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Administrative Agent  would otherwise have on any future occasion.  (c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly  or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.  17. Section Headings.  The section headings used in this Guaranty are for  convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into  consideration in the interpretation hereof.
