GUARANTEE

(a)The Sponsor Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Department, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Article 3

GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS NOT WAIVED

The Sponsor Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of, payment from and protest to any Recipient of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.

Article 4

GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT

The Sponsor Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and not a guarantee of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Department to any collateral security held for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Department in favor of any Recipient or any other Person. Each failure by the Sponsor Guarantor to make a payment as required during the effectiveness of this Guarantee will give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.

5

Article 5

NO DISCHARGE OR DIMINISHMENT OF GUARANTEE

(a)Except for termination of the obligations of the Sponsor Guarantor hereunder as expressly provided for in Article 16 (Termination), the obligations of the Sponsor Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than defense of payment). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Sponsor Guarantor hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by, and the Sponsor Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the enforcement hereof by reason of:

(i)the failure of the Department to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Financing Document or otherwise;

(ii)any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Financing Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any Recipient under any DFA;

(iii)the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the exchange, substitution, release or any impairment of, any security held by the Department for the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv)any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v)any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Sponsor Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Sponsor Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations);

(vi)any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations;

(vii)any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Recipient, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Recipient or any assets of such Recipient or any resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligations;

(viii)the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that the Sponsor Guarantor may have at any time against any Recipient, the Department, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions;

(ix)any action permitted or authorized hereunder; or

(x)any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Department that might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Recipient Party or surety.

(b)The Sponsor Guarantor expressly authorizes the Department to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or

6

all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of the Sponsor Guarantor hereunder.

Article 6

DEFENSES WAIVED

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Sponsor Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Recipient or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Recipient, other than the payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnity or expense reimbursement obligations as to which no claim has been made). The Department may, at its election: (a) foreclose on any security held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales; (b) accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure; (c) compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) make any other accommodation with any Recipient; or (e) exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Recipient, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Sponsor Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnity or expense reimbursement obligations as to which no claim has been made) have been paid in full in cash or in immediately available funds. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Sponsor Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Sponsor Guarantor against any Recipient, as the case may be, or any security.

Article 7

AGREEMENT TO PAY; CONTRIBUTION; SUBROGATION

(a)In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement and not in limitation of any other right that the Department has at law or in equity against the Sponsor Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Recipient Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Sponsor Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay in cash, or cause to be paid in cash, to the Department such unpaid Guaranteed Obligations upon demand. The Sponsor Guarantor hereby agrees to make any such payment of unpaid Guaranteed Obligations in Dollars.

(b)Upon payment by the Sponsor Guarantor of any sums to the Department, all rights of the Sponsor Guarantor against any Recipient arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Department Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Recipient now or hereafter held by the Sponsor Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Department Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to the Sponsor Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Recipient, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Department and shall forthwith be paid to the Department to be credited against the payment of the Department Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

(c)If the Sponsor Guarantor at any time pays to the Department an amount less than the full amount then due and payable to the Department under this Agreement, without waiving any

7

other rights in connection therewith, the Department may allocate and apply such payment in any way or manner and for such purpose or purposes as the Department in its sole discretion determines, notwithstanding any instruction that the Sponsor Guarantor, the Recipient or any other Person may give to the contrary.

Article 8

INFORMATION

Article 9

(c)The Sponsor Guarantor agrees that the Department has sole authority regarding the conduct of any litigation brought against any Indemnified Party and the Sponsor Guarantor agrees that the decisions of the Department regarding any such litigation, trial or settlement shall not relieve the Sponsor Guarantor of its indemnification obligations hereunder. The Department agrees that it will advise the Sponsor Guarantor regarding the conduct of any such litigation and that the Sponsor Guarantor shall be given the opportunity at its own cost and expense to advise the Department of its views regarding such litigation, including any settlement related thereto. The Department agrees that it will not compromise or settle any Indemnified Liability, until it has advised the Sponsor Guarantor, as provided above, and has been authorized by the government official with authority to approve settlements pursuant to applicable rules. No provision herein shall restrict, modify or otherwise affect the authority of the United States to settle or compromise any claim according to Applicable Law.

(d)All sums paid and costs incurred by any Indemnified Party with respect to any matter indemnified hereunder shall be immediately due and payable by the Sponsor Guarantor.

Section 17.11.Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the federal law of the United States.
