By executing this Joinder and Amendment, the Joinder Party is assuming and agreeing to all liabilities and obligations whether now existing or hereafter arising under the Repurchase Documents, and all the terms, conditions, covenants and restrictions thereof.  The Joinder Party shall be fully liable for all obligations of Sellers under, and fully bound by, all the Repurchase Documents as if the Joinder Party had executed and delivered all the Repurchase Documents (including any future amendments or modifications thereof) directly in the Joinder Party’s own name.

SECTION 4.  Amendments to Repurchase Agreement.  (a) The term “Seller” as that term is used in the Repurchase Agreement shall be amended to include “CT LEGACY CAYMAN, LTD.”.

 

(b)           the Repurchase Agreement is amended to add the following as a new Article 29 to the Repurchase Agreement, titled “Joint and Several Liability”:

 

“(a)           Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Seller shall be jointly and severally liable to Buyer to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities of all of Sellers hereunder.

(b)           Each Seller shall remain obligated under this Article 29 notwithstanding that, the failure of any reservation of rights against any Seller and without notice to or further assent by any Seller, any demand by Buyer for payment of any amounts owing to Buyer by any other Seller under the Transaction Documents may be rescinded by Buyer and any the payment of any such amounts may be continued, and the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral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 this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part in a writing signed by the parties thereto, 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 amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Transaction Documents may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement.  Buyer shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Transaction Documents, or any property subject thereto.  When making any demand hereunder against any Seller, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any other Seller, and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any other Seller, or any release of such other Seller shall not relieve any Seller in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or Sellers not so released of their obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Buyer against Sellers.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(c)           Each Seller waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any amounts at any time owing to Buyer by any other Seller under the Transaction Documents and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon any Seller or acceptance of the obligations of any Seller under this Article 29, and all such amounts, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the obligations of Sellers under this Article 29; and all dealings between Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the obligations of Sellers under this Article 29.  Each Seller waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Seller with respect to any amounts at any time owing to Buyer by any Seller under the Transaction Documents, other than such notices as are expressly required to be given under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.  Each Seller understands and agrees that it shall continue to be liable under this Article 29 without regard to (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any amounts at any time owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Transaction Documents, 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 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 any Seller against Buyer, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Sellers) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Sellers for any amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Transaction Documents, or of Sellers under this Agreement, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Seller, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Seller or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee related thereto 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 any 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 any Seller or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Seller 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 any Seller.

 

(d)           Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of any Seller hereunder in respect of the liabilities of the other Sellers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by each Seller under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.”
