SECTION 1. Unconditional Undertaking.
(a) Each of the Performance Guarantors, hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Secured Party (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”):
(i) to cause the due and punctual payment, performance and observance by each other Xxxxxxxx Party other than the Borrower, RGHL and BPH IV (each a “Guaranteed Party” and collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”) of each such Guaranteed Party’s terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, undertakings and obligations (individually, as Master Servicer, as a Subservicer, or in any other capacity) contained in (i) the Purchase and Sale Agreement and (ii) each other Transaction Document, in each case to which such Guaranteed Party is a party, including, without limitation, any agreement or obligation of any such Guaranteed Party to pay any indemnity or make any payment in respect of any applicable dilution adjustment or repurchase obligation under the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any such Transaction Document (all such terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, undertakings and obligations on the part of any of the Guaranteed Parties, to be paid, performed or observed, and including without limitation, obligations that accrue after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, in each case whether or not allowed as a claim in such proceeding, being collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”; provided that the “Guaranteed Obligations” shall expressly exclude any of the foregoing to the extent that the failure by the relevant Seller to perform or pay such obligations results from any Receivable not being collected from or paid by, or otherwise being uncollectible from, the relevant Obligor on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, creditworthiness, or financial inability to pay of the applicable Obligor or the intentional non-payment of amounts due by the related Obligor in breach of its obligations in respect of such Receivable); and
(ii) to pay promptly following receipt of a written demand (x) any and all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable counsel
- 2 -
fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, in enforcing any rights under this Agreement and (y) interest on amounts recoverable under this Agreement from the time when such amounts become due until payment thereof, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) equal to the Default Rate in effect from time to time.
(b) The Performance Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if any Guaranteed Party shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of its Guaranteed Obligations when the same shall be required to be performed or observed, then the Performance Guarantors jointly and severally shall themselves duly and punctually perform or observe, or cause to be duly and punctually performed and observed, such Guaranteed Obligation, and it shall not be a condition to the accrual of the obligation of any Performance Guarantor hereunder to perform or observe any Guaranteed Obligation (or to cause the same to be performed or observed) that any Indemnified Party shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to any of the Guaranteed Parties or any of their successors or assigns, or have instituted any action or proceeding against any of the Guaranteed Parties or any of their successors or assigns in respect thereof.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Performance Guarantors shall have the obligation to guaranty (and does not guaranty) any obligations of the Obligors under the Receivables or any obligation of the Buyer under the Receivables Loan and Security Agreement.

SECTION 2. Obligations Absolute. Each Performance Guarantor, jointly and severally, undertakes and agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Indemnified Party with respect thereto. The obligations of each of the Performance Guarantors under this Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Performance Guarantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any of the Guaranteed Parties or whether any of the Guaranteed Parties is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each of the Performance Guarantors under this Agreement shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and, to the extent permitted by law, each Performance Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any Transaction Document;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations under the Transaction Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document;
- 3 -
(c) any taking, exchange, release or nonperfection of or failure to transfer title to any asset or collateral, or any taking, release, amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) any manner of application of any asset or collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any asset or collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of the Buyer or any of the Guaranteed Parties under the Transaction Documents;
(e) the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Buyer or any of the Guaranteed Parties or any change, restructuring or termination of the structure or existence of the Buyer or any of the Guaranteed Parties;
(f) any failure of any Indemnified Party to disclose to any of the Performance Guarantors any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of the Buyer or any of the Guaranteed Parties now or in the future known to such Indemnified Party (each Performance Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of such Indemnified Party to disclose such information);
(g) any impossibility or impracticality of performance, illegality, any act of any government, or any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Indemnified Party that might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any of the Guaranteed Parties or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(h) any other circumstance, event or happening whatsoever, whether foreseen or unforeseen that might otherwise constitute a defense (other than payment or performance) available to any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.
This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time (x) any payment in connection with any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Indemnified Party, or (y) any performance or observance of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or otherwise invalidated, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Buyer or any of the Guaranteed Parties or otherwise, all as though payment had not been made or as though such Guaranteed Obligation had not been performed or observed.

Each Performance Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally with each other Performance Guarantor, agrees with the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties) that it shall not exercise or assert any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any of the Guaranteed Parties that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Performance Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification or any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Indemnified Party against any Guaranteed Party or any asset or collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Guaranteed Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all amounts payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and the Final Date shall have occurred. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owed to any Performance Guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Performance Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Performance Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally with each other Performance Guarantor, agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, it will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party to such Performance Guarantor until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full.

SECTION 11. Continuing Agreement; Assignments under Receivables Loan and Security Agreement. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall, subject to the reinstatement provisions contained in Sections 2 and 17, (a) remain in full force and effect until the Business Day following the Final Date; provided, however, that the agreements set forth in Sections 17 and 18 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, (b) be binding upon each Performance Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties and each of their respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns.

No Performance Guarantor shall have the right to assign this Agreement or any or all of its respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein to any Person except in connection with a merger or consolidation permitted under Section 6 with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Facility Agents.
SECTION 12. Survival. All representations and warranties of each Performance Guarantor contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the making thereof, and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by the Administrative Agent or any Indemnified Party, the purchase, repurchase or payment of any Receivable, or any other event or condition whatsoever (other than a written waiver complying with Section 8 hereof).

SECTION 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the parties hereto are a party contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.
SECTION 14. Set-Off. In case a Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, each Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, without notice to any Performance Guarantor to set-off against and to appropriate and apply to any amount owing by any Performance Guarantors hereunder which has become due and payable, any debt owing to, and any other funds held in any manner for the account of, any Performance Guarantor by an Indemnified Party, including all funds in all deposit accounts now or hereafter maintained by any Performance Guarantor with an Indemnified Party. Such right shall exist whether or not such debt owing to, or funds held for the account of, such Performance Guarantor, is or are matured other than by operation of this Section 14 and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to any Indemnified Party.
- 12 -
SECTION 15. Severability of Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

RGHI hereby accepts such irrevocable designation, appointment and agency and agrees with the Administrative Agent that (i) it shall perform its duties under this Section 16(c) and under Section 16(c) of the Lux Performance Undertaking and shall not terminate either such designation, appointment or agency unless consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent, (ii) any such legal process, summons, notices or documents may be served on it as agent for the applicable Performance Guarantor in any manner permitted by applicable law at its address set forth on the signature pages to this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by applicable law, and (iii) it shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing prior to any change of its address from the address set forth on the signature pages to this Agreement.

(d) EACH PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
SECTION 17. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any Performance Guarantor makes a payment to the Administrative Agent or its assigns or the Administrative Agent or its assigns exercise rights of set-off and such payment or set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by, or is required to be refunded, rescinded, returned, repaid or otherwise restored to such Performance Guarantor, a trustee, a receiver or any other Person under any Law, including any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any common law or equitable cause, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, to the extent of any such restoration, be reinstated, revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred. The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 18. No Petition. Each Performance Guarantor hereto agrees not, prior to the date which is one (1) year and one (1) day after the Final Date, to acquiesce in, petition or otherwise, directly or indirectly, invoke, or cause the Buyer to invoke, the process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of (i) commencing or sustaining a case against the Buyer under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (including the Federal Bankruptcy Code), (ii) appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official for the Buyer, or any substantial part of its property, or (iii) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Buyer. The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 19. Currency of Payment. Any payment to be made hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars, and the designation of such currency of payment is of essence.
SECTION 20. Judgment Currency.
(a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) to another currency (the “Other Currency”), each of the Performance Guarantors agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the Spot Rate on the second Business Day preceding that on which judgment is given.
- 14 -
(b) The obligation of each Performance Guarantor in respect of a judgment (the “Paying Party”) in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to another party to this Agreement or entitled to the benefits of this Agreement (the “Entitled Party”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Entitled Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, the Entitled Party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Entitled Party in the Original Currency, the Paying Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Entitled Party against any loss resulting from such purchase or from the inability to effect such purchase, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Entitled Party in the Original Currency, the Entitled Party agrees to remit to the Paying Party such excess.
