Buyer and Guarantor, formerly as seller, entered into that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2009 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Original Agreement”).

Buyer and Guild Parties desire to amend the Original Agreement in its entirety by amending and restating it subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Seller has requested Buyer to enter into transactions with Seller whereby Seller may, from time to time, sell to Buyer certain Eligible Participation Interests and all related rights in and interests related to such Eligible Participation Interests, against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to sell to Seller such Eligible Participation Interests at a date certain or on demand after the Purchase Date, against the transfer of funds by Seller (representing the Repurchase Price for such Eligible Participation Interests) (each such transaction and as applicable the Purchase Price Increase, a “Transaction”).

From time to time, the Seller may request Purchase Price Increases due to the Transaction involving Participation Interests sold to Buyer under this Agreement with the allocation of an Underlying Asset to the Participation Interests resulting in the increase in Asset Value of the Participation Interests.

The Guarantor owns the legal title to the Underlying Assets and issues Participation Interests in each such Underlying Asset to the Seller directly, as applicable. In connection with the initial Transaction, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) Seller will sell to Buyer the Eligible Participation Interests, and (ii) as additional credit enhancement in connection with the Transactions hereunder and as a condition precedent to the Buyer entering into the Transactions hereunder, Guarantor shall deliver a guaranty in favor of Buyer and pledge to Buyer a first priority security interest in and to the Eligible Participation Interests and any other related collateral including Purchased Items and Underlying Asset Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof.

Thereafter, as part of any subsequent Transactions, (x) the Guarantor may acquire Eligible Mortgage Loans and issue Participation Interests therein to the Seller, and Seller may request to sell and Buyer may purchase, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, additional Participation Interests.

Buyer has agreed to consider entering into such Transactions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A hereto, unless the context otherwise requires. All such defined terms shall, unless specifically provided to the contrary, have the defined meanings set forth herein when used in any other agreement, certificate or document made or delivered pursuant hereto.

Interpretation; Principles of Construction. The following rules of this Section 1.2 apply unless the context requires otherwise. A gender includes all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning. A reference to a subsection, Section, Schedule or Exhibit is, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a Section of, or schedule or exhibit to, this Agreement. A reference to a party to this Agreement or another agreement or document includes the party’s successors and permitted substitutes or assigns. A reference to an agreement or document (including any Principal Agreement) is to the agreement or document as amended, modified, novated, supplemented or replaced, except to the extent prohibited thereby or by any Principal Agreement and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. A reference to legislation or to a provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment of it, a legislative provision substituted for it and a regulation or statutory instrument issued under it. A reference to writing includes a facsimile transmission and any means of reproducing words in a tangible and permanently visible form. A reference to conduct includes, without limitation, an omission, statement or undertaking, whether or not in writing. The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder” and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitation”. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”, the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”, and the word “through” means “to and including”.Except where otherwise provided in this Agreement, any determination, consent, approval, statement or certificate made or confirmed in writing with notice to Seller by Buyer or an authorized officer of Buyer provided for in this Agreement is conclusive and binds the parties in the absence of manifest error. A reference to an agreement includes a security interest, guarantee, agreement or legally enforceable arrangement whether or not in writing related to such agreement.

Agreement to Enter into Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, enter into Transactions with Seller; provided, however, that (a) the Buyer shall be under no obligation to enter into Transactions with Seller, (b) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price as of any date shall not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit, and (c) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for any Type of Transaction shall not exceed the applicable Type Sublimit. Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions with an Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price equal to or less than the Committed Amount, and Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount. All purchases of Participation Interests shall be first deemed committed up to the Committed Amount and then the remainder, if any, shall be deemed uncommitted up to the Uncommitted Amount. Seller may request Transactions in excess of the Aggregate Transaction Limit and Buyer may, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to a Temporary Increase of the Aggregate Transaction Limit in accordance with Section 2.10.

Transaction Limits. The Aggregate Transaction Limit and each Type Sublimit shall be as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter. Buyer shall have the right, in its sole and good faith discretion, to reduce, whether permanently or temporarily, and without refund of any fee or other amount previously paid by Seller, the Aggregate Transaction Limit and/or each Type Sublimit by an amount up to the Uncommitted Amount. In the event of any reduction pursuant to this Section 2.2, Buyer shall give Guild Parties five (5) Business Days’ prior notice thereof, which notice shall designate (a) the effective date of any such reduction, (b) the amount of the reduction and (c) the Transaction and/or Type Sublimit limit(s) to which such reduction amount shall apply. Buyer shall not be liable to any Guild Party for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to a reduction by Buyer in the Aggregate Transaction Limit or any Type Sublimit.

Description of Underlying Assets. With respect to each Transaction, Seller shall cause to be subject to such Transaction with Buyer Underlying Assets with an Asset Value not less than, at any date, the related Purchase Price for such Transaction. With respect to each Transaction, the type of Underlying Asset shall be the type of Asset as specified in the Transactions Terms Letter as the Type, and in each case shall consist of the type of mortgage loans, mortgage related securities, or interests therein as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 101(47)(A). If there is uncertainty as to the Type of an Underlying Asset, Buyer, in its sole and good faith discretion, shall determine the correct Type for such Underlying Asset.

Maximum Transaction Amounts. The Purchase Price for each proposed Transaction shall not exceed the lesser of:

the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for the applicable Type Sublimit (after giving effect to all Transactions then subject to the Agreement), as determined by the Type of Underlying Asset;

the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as such amount may be increased from time to time in the sole discretion of Buyer as provided in Section 2.10), minus the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of all other Transactions outstanding, if any; and

the Asset Value of the related Underlying Asset(s).

Use of Proceeds. Guild Parties shall use the Purchase Price of each Transaction solely for the purpose of originating and/or acquiring the related Purchased Asset(s) and Underlying Assets, as applicable.

Price Differential.

Price Differential. Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales by Seller to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay Buyer interest on the Purchase Price for each Purchased Asset from the Purchase Date until, but not including, the date on which the Repurchase Price is paid, at an annual rate equal to the Price Differential; provided that if the Repurchase Price for a Transaction is not paid by Seller when due (whether at the Repurchase Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), the Repurchase Price shall bear a Price Differential from the date due until paid in full at an annual rate equal to the Default Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the date on which a Purchased Asset is deemed to be a Noncompliant Asset, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset shall bear a Price Differential at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Applicable Pricing Rate plus the Type Margin for a Noncompliant Asset.

Time for Payment. Price Differential with respect to any Purchased Asset shall be due and payable on the Payment Date occurring in the second month following the related Purchase Date and thereafter on each subsequent Payment Date. On the date that the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset is paid, all accrued Price Differential not otherwise paid by the Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset shall be due and payable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6(b), in the event the Asset Value of any Underlying Asset is marked to zero and a Guild Party requests Buyer to release its security interest in such Purchased Asset relating to such Underlying Asset, and such Underlying Asset or any Purchased Items related thereto, Buyer shall not release any such security interest therein unless and until Seller shall have paid to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset.

Computations. All computations of Price Differential and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the relevant period, and a three-hundred sixty (360)-day year.

All Transactions Are “Servicing Released”. Each Participation Certificate sold by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Transactions under this Agreement includes the participation interests in the related Servicing Rights related to the related Underlying Assets and all Transactions under this Agreement are “servicing released” purchase and sale transactions for all intents and purposes, it being understood that the Purchase Price paid by Buyer to Seller for each such Participation Certificate includes a premium that compensates Seller for such Servicing Rights related to such

Terms and Conditions of Transactions. The terms and conditions of the Transactions as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter, this Agreement or otherwise may be changed from time to time by Buyer at its sole and good faith discretion by providing prior notice to Guild Parties.

Guaranty and/or Additional Security Agreements. As may be determined necessary by Buyer from time to time in its sole and good faith discretion, Guild Parties agree to cause to be executed and delivered to Buyer the Guaranty and such other additional security agreements as may be agreed by the parties hereto as additional support for Guild Parties’ obligations hereunder, which Guaranty and/or additional security agreements shall be considered “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(x).

Temporary Increase of Aggregate Transaction Limit Seller may request a temporary increase of the Aggregate Transaction Limit (a “Temporary Increase”) by submitting to Buyer an executed request for Temporary Increase in the form of Exhibit O hereto (a “Request for Temporary Increase”), setting forth the requested increased Aggregate Transaction Limit (such increased amount, the “Temporary Aggregate Transaction Limit”), the effective date of such Temporary Increase and the date on which such Temporary Increase shall terminate. Buyer may from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to such Temporary Increase, which consent shall be in writing as evidenced by Buyer’s delivery to Guild Parties of a countersigned Request for Temporary Increase. At any time that a Temporary Increase is in effect, the Aggregate Transaction Limit shall equal the Temporary Aggregate Transaction Limit for all purposes of this Agreement and all calculations and provisions relating to the Aggregate Transaction Limit shall refer to the Temporary Aggregate Transaction Limit, including without limitation, Type Sublimits and the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance. Upon the termination of a Temporary Increase, Seller shall repurchase Purchased Assets in order to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price to the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as reduced by the termination of such Temporary Increase) in accordance with Section 4.2(k).

Policies and Procedures. In connection with the Transactions contemplated hereunder, each Guild Party shall comply with all applicable policies and procedures of Buyer as may currently exist or as hereafter created. Such policies and procedures may be in writing, published on Buyer’s website(s) or otherwise contained in the Handbook. Buyer shall have the right to change, revise, amend or supplement its policies and procedures and the Handbook from time to time to conform to current legal requirements or Buyer practices by giving prior notice to Guild Parties of such changes, revisions, amendments or supplements. To the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Handbook, this Agreement shall control.

Request for Transaction; Asset Data Record.

Request for Transaction. Seller shall request a Transaction by delivering to Buyer, electronically or in writing, an Asset Data Record for each Underlying Asset intended to be the subject of the Transaction no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time); provided

that Buyer shall use its best efforts to accept Asset Data Records delivered after 4:00 p.m. but before 6:00 p.m. (New York City time). Buyer shall be under no obligation to enter into any Transaction or Transactions requested by Seller if the Purchase Price relates to the Uncommitted Amount. Assuming the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Article 7 and otherwise in this Agreement, Buyer may, for any Transaction with respect to the Uncommitted Amount and shall, for any Transaction with respect to the Committed Amount, confirm to Seller the terms of Transactions electronically or in writing. Buyer reserves the right to reject any Transaction request that Buyer determines, in its sole and good faith discretion, fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or Buyer’s then current policies and procedures.

Failure to Enter into Transaction; Cancellation of Transaction. If Seller fails [***] or more to enter into a Transaction, in each case after Seller has requested a Transaction and submitted an Asset Data Record in connection with such request, for each Transaction requested by Seller thereafter for which Seller fails to enter into such Transaction after Seller has requested such Transaction and submitted an Asset Data Record in connection with such request, Seller shall pay Buyer any breakage fees and reimburse Buyer for any reasonable out-of-pocket losses, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with such failure to enter into the Transaction, including, without limitation, costs relating to re-employment of funds obtained by Buyer and fees payable to terminate the arrangements through which such funds were obtained. In addition, with respect to any Transaction, including the initial Transaction, if following disbursement by Buyer of the Purchase Price relating to such Transaction, Seller cancels such Transaction, regardless of the number of Transactions Seller has previously cancelled, in each case, Seller shall pay Buyer a Price Differential on such Purchase Price from the Purchase Date until, but not including, the date the Purchase Price is returned to Buyer.

Form of Asset Data Record. Buyer shall have the right to revise or supplement the form of the Asset Data Record from time to time by giving prior notice thereof to Seller.

Mortgage Loan Documents in Guild Parties’ Possession. At all times during which the Mortgage Loan Documents related to any Underlying Asset are in the possession of Guild Parties, and until such Underlying Asset is released by Buyer from the related Transaction hereunder, Guild Parties shall hold such Mortgage Loan Documents in trust separate and apart from Guild Parties’ own documents and assets and for the exclusive benefit of Buyer and shall act only in accordance with Buyer’s written instructions thereto. Such Mortgage Loan Documents should be clearly marked as subject to delivery to Buyer.

With respect to each Underlying Asset, until such Underlying Asset is released by Buyer from the related Transaction hereunder, Guild Parties shall hold in trust separate and apart from Guild Parties’ own documents and assets and for the exclusive benefit of Buyer all mortgage loan documents related to such Underlying Asset and not delivered to Buyer, including, without limitation, the Other Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable. All such mortgage loan documents shall be clearly marked as subject to delivery to Buyer.

Haircut. With respect to each Transaction for which the related Purchase Price is being remitted by Buyer to one or more Approved Payees, Seller shall ensure that there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Over/Under Account such that following the withdrawal of the related Haircut by Buyer, the balance of the Over/Under Account is equal to or greater than the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance, as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter.

Over/Under Account.

Minimum Balance. Seller shall at all times maintain a balance in the Over/Under Account of not less than the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance, as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter. The Over/Under Account shall be used to assist in settling the Transactions and any other obligations under this Agreement. Buyer shall not be required to segregate and hold funds deposited by or on behalf of Seller in the Over/Under Account separate and apart from Buyer’s own funds or funds deposited by or held for others. Upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole and good faith discretion, to increase the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance Seller is required to maintain in the Over/Under Account by giving notice to Seller thereof. If Seller fails to deposit funds in the Over/Under Account to comply with any such required increase within the time frame required by Buyer, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole and good faith discretion, to retain in the Over/Under Account any amounts received by Buyer on behalf of Seller or otherwise credited to the Over/Under Account to comply with any such required increases, including, without limitation, any purchase proceeds received by Buyer from any Approved Investor pursuant to Section 4.7. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to the increase of the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance that Seller is required to maintain in the Over/Under Account or retention of excess funds by Buyer to comply with any such increase.

Deposits.

Seller. Seller shall deposit margin in the form of funds in the Over/Under Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.4 and Section 3.5(a).

Buyer. Buyer shall credit to the Over/Under Account all amounts in excess of those amounts due to Buyer in accordance with the Principal Agreements on the date Buyer receives or has received both (1) a payment by Seller or an Approved Investor pursuant to a Purchase Commitment and (2) a Purchase Advice relating to such payment without discrepancy; provided, however, that funds and Purchase Advices received by Buyer after 4:00 p.m. (New York City time), shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to notify Seller if there is a discrepancy between a wire transfer and the related Purchase Advice, and thereafter, Seller shall notify Buyer as to whether Buyer should accept such settlement payment despite the discrepancy between the amount received and the related Purchase Advice; provided, however, that if an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer is not obligated to receive approval from Seller prior to accepting any amounts received and releasing the related Purchased Assets.

Settlement Statement. Buyer shall deliver to Guild Parties via facsimile or make available to Seller via the internet within one (1) Business Day following settlement of a Transaction, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, a settlement statement, which includes an explanation of all amounts credited by Buyer to the Over/Under Account to settle the Transaction.

Withdrawals.

Seller. If the amount credited to the Over/Under Account creates a balance in excess of the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance pursuant to Section 3.5(a) above, provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may submit a written request to Buyer for return or payment of such excess funds. If any such request is received by Buyer prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to wire such requested excess funds to Seller by the end of such Business Day and in no event no later than two (2) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of such request. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.5(c)(i) to the contrary, Buyer reserves the right to reject any request for excess funds from the Over/Under Account if Buyer determines, in its sole and good faith discretion, that such excess funds shall be used to satisfy Seller’s outstanding obligations under this Agreement or are subject to other rights as provided in this Agreement.

Buyer. Buyer may, from time to time and without separate authorization by Seller or notice to Seller, withdraw funds from the Over/Under Account to settle amounts owed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or to otherwise satisfy Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation:

with respect to any Transaction with respect to which the Purchase Price is being paid to one or more Approved Payees on behalf of Guild Parties, to deliver the Haircut to the Closing Agent;

to reimburse itself for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, as permitted herein;

to pay itself any Price Differential on a Purchase Price that is due and owing;

to Seller as provided in Section 3.5(c)(i);

as security for the performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder;

without limiting the generality of Section 3.5(c)(ii)(5), to satisfy any outstanding Margin Deficit as provided in Section 6.3(b); and

in the exercise of Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ rights under Section 6.3(d) or Section 11.9.

Failure to Maintain Balance. If, at any time, Seller fails to maintain in the Over/Under Account the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance as required hereunder, in addition to any other rights and remedies that Buyer may have against Seller, Buyer shall have the right, at its sole and good faith discretion, to immediately stop entering into Transactions with Seller and/or to charge Seller accrued interest on that portion of the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance that Seller has failed to maintain, at the Default Rate, from the time that such balance failed to be maintained until the time that funds are deposited into or held in the Over/Under Account to comply with such Minimum Over/Under Account Balance requirements hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that should the balance in the Over/Under Account become negative, Seller will continue to owe Buyer accrued interest as provided herein.

Security Interest. Any funds of Seller at any time deposited or held in the Over/Under Account, whether such funds are required to be deposited and held in the Over/Under Account pursuant to this Section 3.5 or otherwise, are hereby pledged by Seller as security for its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller hereby grants a security interest in such funds to Buyer, and such pledge and security interest shall be considered “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(x).

Payment of Purchase Price.

Payment of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, the Purchased Assets, including the Participation Interests in the Servicing Rights related to the Underlying Assets (including on account of any Purchase Price Increase), shall be transferred to Buyer against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to Seller or on behalf of Guild Parties to an Approved Payee, as applicable, simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer of the Purchased Assets relating to each Transaction. With respect to the Purchased Assets being sold by Seller on the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, including the Participation Interests in the Servicing Rights related to the related Underlying Assets, together with all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all amounts due and payable under the terms of such Underlying Assets.

Methods of Payment. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction:

Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price for all Transactions by wire transfer in accordance with Seller’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit J. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be obligated to pay the Purchase Price under any method of payment to any Closing Agent, third party institutional originator or warehouse lender that is not an Approved Payee. Further, the payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer to any Closing Agent, third party institutional originator or warehouse lender that is not an Approved Payee shall not make such Closing Agent, third party institutional originator or warehouse lender an Approved Payee. Any funds disbursed by Buyer to Seller or its Approved Payee shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, regulations and policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Reduction of Payments System Risk. Seller acknowledges that as a result of such applicable laws, regulations and policies, equipment malfunction, Buyer’s approval procedures or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Buyer, the payment of a Purchase Price using one or more of the methods described above may be delayed. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to any such delays, or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a Purchased Asset or an Underlying Asset is the subject of third party financing, Buyer may pay all or any portion of the Purchase Price directly to the warehouse lender or other lender that has a security interest in such Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset, as applicable, to satisfy the related indebtedness and obtain a release of such security interest.

Transaction Limitations and Other Restrictions Relating to Closing Agents. Notwithstanding that a particular Transaction request will not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit or applicable Type Sublimit, if the payment of the Purchase Price for such Transaction to the related Closing Agent will violate Buyer’s applicable policies and procedures (as contained in the Handbook or otherwise) regarding payments to Closing Agents, Buyer may refuse to pay the Purchase Price to such Closing Agent.

Return of Purchase Price. If a Wet Mortgage Loan related to a Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction is not closed on the same day on which the Purchase Price was funded, Seller shall immediately return, or cause to be immediately returned (but in any event within forty-eight (48) hours), the Purchase Price (or such greater amount that shall have been remitted by Buyer, if applicable) with respect to such Purchased Asset to Buyer by wire transfer in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B. Further, Seller shall pay Buyer all fees and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the funding of the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset and, from the date of such funding up to but excluding the date such Purchase Price is returned to Buyer, Seller shall also pay Buyer any Price Differential accrued on such Purchase Price immediately upon notification from Buyer; provided, however, that Price Differential shall continue to accrue until the Purchase Price is returned to Buyer.

Approved Payees.

Closing Agents. In order for a Closing Agent to be designated an Approved Payee with respect to any Purchase Price for new origination Wet Mortgage Loans or Dry Mortgage Loans as to which the origination funds are being remitted to the closing table, Seller shall submit to Buyer the following documents:

if the title company issuing the title policy that covers the applicable Underlying Asset has not issued to Buyer a blanket Closing Protection Letter, which covers closings conducted by this Closing Agent in the jurisdiction where this closing will take place:

a valid blanket Closing Protection Letter, in a form acceptable to Buyer, issued to Seller or Buyer by the title company, which is issuing the title insurance policy that covers the related Underlying Asset and is an Acceptable Title Insurance Company, that covers closings conducted by the Closing Agent in the jurisdiction where this closing will take place and if applicable, an assignment to Buyer of such Closing Protection Letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; or

a valid Closing Protection Letter, in a form acceptable to Buyer, issued to Seller or Buyer by the title company, which is issuing the title insurance policy that covers the related Underlying Assets and is an Acceptable Title Insurance Company, that covers the closing of this specific Underlying Asset and if applicable, an assignment to Buyer of such Closing Protection Letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; or

with respect to those jurisdictions outlined in the Handbook for which Closing Protection Letters are not available or are limited in their applicability, any other documents Buyer may require, including without

limitation, a duly executed, valid and enforceable assignment to Buyer of Seller’s rights under its fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy maintained pursuant to Section 9.9; and

evidence that the Irrevocable Closing Instructions, in the applicable form and signed by Seller and Buyer, have been delivered to such Closing Agent.

Warehouse Lenders. In order for a warehouse lender to be designated an Approved Payee with respect to any Purchase Price, Seller shall submit to Buyer a written request, including the name and address of the warehouse lender, demonstrating a need for such designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer reserves the right to refuse to designate any warehouse lender as an Approved Payee, or, alternatively, to require additional terms and conditions in order for Buyer to pay a Purchase Price to a warehouse lender.

Approval Process. Buyer shall review the applicable documents and notify Seller within two (2) Business Days as to whether such Closing Agent or warehouse lender has been designated by Buyer, in its sole and good faith discretion, to be an Approved Payee with respect to such Purchase Price. Buyer may withdraw its approval of any Closing Agent or warehouse lender as an Approved Payee if Buyer becomes aware of any facts or circumstances at any time related to such Closing Agent or warehouse lender which Buyer determines, in its sole and good faith discretion, materially and adversely affects the Closing Agent or warehouse lender or otherwise makes the Closing Agent or warehouse lender unacceptable as an Approved Payee.

Delivery of Purchased Securities. With respect to Underlying Assets that are Pooled Mortgage Loans, Buyer shall release its interests in such Underlying Assets simultaneously with the Settlement Date of the related Mortgage-Backed Security backed by a Pool containing such Underlying Assets. Provided that such Mortgage-Backed Security has been issued in the name of Buyer or Buyer’s nominee, from and after such Settlement Date, the Mortgage-Backed Security shall replace the related Underlying Assets as the asset that is subject to the Participation Interests subject to the related Transaction.

Repurchase Price.

Payment of Repurchase Price. The Repurchase Price for each Purchased Asset shall be payable in full and by wire transfer in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B or Exhibit J, as applicable, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Repurchase Date of the related Transaction, (ii) the occurrence of any Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to such Transaction (iii) at Buyer’s sole option, upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (iv) the Expiration Date. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset. While it is anticipated that Seller will repurchase each Purchased Asset on its related Repurchase Date, Seller may repurchase any Purchased Asset (or obtain the release of any Underlying Asset) hereunder on demand without any prepayment penalty or premium.

Effect of Payment of Repurchase Price. On the Repurchase Date (or such other date on which the Repurchase Price is received in full by Buyer), termination of the related Transaction will be effected by the repurchase by Seller or its designee of the Purchased Assets (and release of the related Underlying Assets) and the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer, or transfer to Buyer of additional Participation Interests related to Additional Underlying Assets (in each case subject to the provisions of Section 6.5), and all of Buyer’s rights, title and interests therein shall then be conveyed to Seller or its designee; provided that Buyer shall not be deemed to have terminated or conveyed its interests in such Purchased Assets or related Underlying Assets if an Event of Default shall then be continuing or shall be caused by such repurchase or if such repurchase gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit that is not satisfied in accordance with Section 6.3(b). With respect to Underlying Assets related to Purchased Assets, Guild Parties are obligated to obtain the related Mortgage Loan Documents from Custodian at Guarantor’s expense on the Repurchase Date.

Repurchase Acceleration Events. The occurrence of any of the following events shall be a Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, as the case may be:

Buyer in its sole and good faith discretion has determined that the related Underlying Asset is a Defective Asset;

[***] elapse from the date a related Mortgage Loan Documents relating to an Underlying Asset associated with such Purchased Assets were delivered to an Approved Investor and such Approved Investor has not returned such Mortgage Loan Documents or purchased the Underlying Asset, unless an extension is granted by Buyer, in its sole and good faith discretion;

[***] elapse from the date a related Mortgage Loan Document relating to an Underlying Asset associated with such Purchased Assets were delivered to a Guild Party for correction or completion or for servicing purposes, without being returned to Buyer or its designee;

with respect to an Underlying Asset that is a Wet Mortgage Loan, Guild Parties fail to deliver to Buyer the related Mortgage Loan Documents relating to an Underlying Asset associated with such Purchased Assets within the applicable Maximum Dwell Time or any Mortgage Loan Document delivered to Buyer, upon examination by Buyer, is found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment and is not corrected within the applicable Maximum Dwell Time;

regardless of whether an Underlying Asset associated with such Purchased Assets is a Defective Asset, a foreclosure or similar type of proceeding is initiated with respect to the Underlying Asset;

the further sale of the Underlying Asset associated with such Purchased Assets by Guild Parties to any party other than an Approved Investor;

(1) with respect to any Underlying Asset associated with such Purchased Assets that has been pooled to support a Mortgage-Backed Security issued by Guarantor and fully guaranteed by Ginnie Mae for which Buyer has executed a Form HUD 11711A, the Custodian ceases to hold the Mortgage Loan File and the related Mortgage Loan Documents in respect thereof for the sole and exclusive benefit of Buyer at any time prior

to the issuance of the related Mortgage-Backed Security, or (2) with respect to all other Underlying Assets, the Custodian ceases to hold the related Mortgage Loan File and all Mortgage Loan Documents in respect thereof for the sole and exclusive benefit of Buyer at any time;

with respect to any Pooled Mortgage Loan or Mortgage-Backed Security, if the Guild Parties have failed to deliver the related Trade Assignment to Buyer in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 7.2(i);

with respect to any Underlying Assets that are Pooled Mortgage Loans, if the Applicable Agency has not issued the related Mortgage-Backed Security to the Depository in the name of Buyer or Buyer’s nominee on the related Settlement Date;

with respect to any Purchased Securities, if Buyer has not received the related Takeout Price from the Approved Investor on the related Settlement Date; or

following the termination of a Temporary Increase, the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price exceeds the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as reduced by the termination of such Temporary Increase).

Reduction of Asset Value as Alternative Remedy. In Buyer’s sole and good faith discretion, in lieu of requiring full repayment of the Repurchase Price upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Acceleration Event, Buyer may elect to reduce the Asset Value of the related Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset, as applicable, to as low as zero and accordingly require a full or partial repayment of such Repurchase Price or the delivery of other funds or collateral, which additional assets shall be “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as such terms are defined in Bankruptcy Code Sections 741(5) and (8), respectively.

Designation as Noncompliant Asset as Alternative Remedy. In Buyer’s sole and good faith discretion, in lieu of requiring full repayment of the Repurchase Price upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Acceleration Event, Buyer may elect to deem the related Underlying Asset a Noncompliant Asset, provided that (a) after such Underlying Asset is deemed to be a Noncompliant Asset, the aggregate original Asset Value of all Noncompliant Assets does not exceed the Type Sublimit for Noncompliant Assets; (b) the Asset Value of the Noncompliant Asset is greater than the Repurchase Price or Seller provides additional Participation Interests related to Additional Underlying Assets or repays part of the Repurchase Price as provided in Section 6.3 in each case as a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5); and (c) Guild Parties deliver to Buyer all documentation relating to the Purchased Asset and related Underlying Assets reasonably requested by Buyer.

Illegality or Impracticability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer determines in its sole and good faith discretion that any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or any circumstance materially and adversely affecting the London interbank market, the repurchase market for mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities or the source or cost of Buyer’s funds, shall make it unlawful, impractical or commercially unreasonable for Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by this Agreement (a) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into or to continue to maintain Transactions shall be cancelled and (b) the Repurchase Price for each Transaction then outstanding shall be due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date required by any financial institution providing funds to Buyer or, solely in the case of impracticability, within ten (10) days thereafter, (ii) sale of the Purchased Assets in accordance

with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) the date as of which Buyer determines that such Transactions are unlawful or impractical or commercially unreasonable to maintain; provided that Buyer shall not be liable to any Guild Party for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating from any actions taken by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.5.

Increased Costs.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer determines in its sole good faith discretion that any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (i) subjects Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Purchased Asset (excluding Excluded Taxes) or materially changes the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof, (ii) imposes, materially modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of Transactions or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Applicable Pricing Rate hereunder, or (iii) imposes on Buyer any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Guild Parties shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred.

If Buyer has determined in its sole good faith discretion that the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate Buyer for such reduction.

If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.6, it shall promptly notify Guild Parties of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Buyer to Guild Parties shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error or bad faith by Buyer.

Payments Pursuant to Sale to Approved Investors. Guild Parties shall direct each Approved Investor purchasing an Underlying Asset to pay directly to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the applicable Takeout Price in full and without set-off on the date set forth in the applicable Purchase Commitment. In addition, Guild Parties shall provide Buyer with a Purchase Advice relating to such payment. Guild Parties shall not direct the Approved

Investor to pay to Buyer an amount less than the full Takeout Price or modify or otherwise change the wire instructions for payment of the Takeout Price provided to Approved Investor by Buyer. Buyer shall apply all amounts received from an Approved Investor for the account of Seller in accordance with Section 4.8 below and credit all amounts due Seller to the Over/Under Account in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) above. Buyer may reject any amount received from an Approved Investor and not release the related Underlying Asset if (a) Buyer does not receive a Purchase Advice in respect of any wire transfer, (b) Buyer does not receive the full Takeout Price, without set-off, or (c) the amount received is not sufficient to pay the related Repurchase Price in full. Alternatively, in lieu of rejecting an amount received by Buyer from an Approved Investor, at Buyer’s sole option and discretion, if the amount received from the Approved Investor does not equal or exceed the related Repurchase Price, Buyer may accept the amount received from the Approved Investor and deduct the remaining amounts owed by Seller from the Over/Under Account or demand payment of such remaining amount from Seller. If a Guild Party receives any funds intended for Buyer, such Guild Party shall segregate and hold such funds in trust for Buyer and immediately pay to Buyer all such amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds together with providing Buyer with a settlement statement for the transaction.

Application of Payments from Guild Parties or Approved Investors. Unless Buyer determines otherwise, payments made directly by a Guild Party or an Approved Investor to Buyer shall be applied in the following order of priority:

first, to any amounts due and owing to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.3;

second, to all costs, expenses and fees incurred or charged by Buyer under this Agreement that are due and owing and related to the Transaction in connection with which the payment is made;

third, to all costs, expenses and fees incurred or charged by Buyer under this Agreement that are due and owing and not related to a specific Transaction;

fourth, to the Price Differential then due and owing and the outstanding Purchase Price, in each case, on the Purchased Asset (and allocated to the related Underlying Asset in connection with which the payment is made);

fifth, to the Price Differential due and owing and the outstanding Purchase Prices, in each case, on any other Purchased Assets (and related Underlying Assets); and

sixth, to the amount of all other obligations then due and owing by Seller to Buyer under this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements.

Method of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder must be received by Buyer on the date when due and shall be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B or Exhibit J, as applicable. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and with respect to payments of the Purchase Price, the Price

Differential thereon shall be payable at the Applicable Pricing Rate during such extension. All payments made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be applied to Seller’s account in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) and Section 4.8 above and shall be made in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments after withholding for or on account of any present or future Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority, other than any Excluded Taxes, compensate Buyer for any additional cost or reduced amount receivable of making or maintaining Transactions as a result of such Taxes. All payments to be made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense.

Reserved.

Authorization to Debit. In addition to any other authorizations to and rights of Buyer hereunder, Guild Parties hereby expressly authorize Buyer, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Potential Default, Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event, to debit any account maintained by any Guild Party with any depository institution into which any funds related to the Underlying Assets or related Purchased Items have been deposited (other than escrow accounts maintained for the benefit of the related Mortgagors), including without limitation, any operating, settlement or custodial account, for any and all amounts due Buyer hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing debit rights of Buyer shall not apply to Purchased Assets which have been repurchased by Seller pursuant to Section 6.5.

Book Account. Buyer and Guild Parties shall maintain an account on their respective books of all Transactions entered into between Buyer and Seller and for which the Repurchase Price has not yet been paid. As a courtesy to Guild Parties, Buyer shall provide such information to Guild Parties via the Internet or by telephone or facsimile, if Guild Parties are unable to access the information via the Internet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guild Parties shall be responsible for maintaining their own book accounts and records of Transactions entered into with Buyer, amounts due to Buyer in connection with such Transactions and for paying such amounts when due. Failure of Buyer to provide Guild Parties with information regarding any Transaction shall not excuse Guild Parties’ timely performance of all obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, payment obligations under this Agreement.

Full Recourse. The obligations of Guild Parties from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, Margin Deficit payments, settlement payments and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Guild Parties.

Alternative Rate. If prior to any Payment Date, Buyer determines in its sole and reasonable discretion that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining One-Month LIBOR, including, without limitation, because One-Month LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; (ii) the administrator of One-Month LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which One-Month LIBOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to Buyer, that will continue to provide One-Month LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or (iii) mortgage loan financing facilities similar to this facility, currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 4.14, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace One-Month LIBOR, Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Guild Parties, whereupon the Applicable Pricing Rate from the date specified in such notice, which may be the Scheduled

Unavailability Date, for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be based on (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated mortgage loan financing facilities for such alternative benchmark rates and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark rates giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated mortgage loan financing facilities for such benchmark rates, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Buyer from time to time in its sole discretion and may be periodically updated) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”). Such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Buyer, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, Buyer shall have the right to make Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole and reasonable discretion from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Principal Agreement, any amendments implementing such Successor Rate Conforming Changes shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

Payment of Fees. Seller shall pay to Buyer those fees set forth in this Agreement and the Transactions Terms Letter when they become due and owing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Facility Fee shall be deemed due, earned and payable in full on the Effective Date and shall be payable in quarterly installments, with the first installment to be paid on the Effective Date, and the remaining quarterly installments to be paid on the fifth (5th) day of the month immediately following the quarterly anniversary of the Effective Date or if such date is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such fifth (5th) day of the month, and if this Agreement is renewed, thereafter as provided in the Transactions Terms Letter. Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Over/Under Account or retain from payments made by Seller or an Approved Investor, subject to Section 4.6, or set off against any Purchase Prices to be paid by Buyer any fees permitted under this Agreement that are due and owing. If such amounts on deposit in the Over/Under Account or payments received in connection with a Transaction or Purchase Prices to be paid by Buyer are not sufficient to pay Buyer all fees owed, Buyer shall notify Seller and Seller shall pay to Buyer, within one (1) Business Day, all unpaid fees.

Precautionary Grant of Security Interest in Purchased Assets. With respect to the Purchased Assets, although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, and without prejudice to the provisions of Section 6.6 and the expressed intent of the parties, if any Transactions are deemed to be loans, as security for the performance of all of Seller’s obligations hereunder, Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items. Possession of any promissory notes, instruments or documents by the

Servicing.

Servicing Rights Owned by Buyer; Buyer’s Right to Appoint Servicer. In recognition that each Participation Interest (including the related Servicing Rights of the Underlying

Assets) is sold by Seller to Buyer on a servicing released basis and Buyer is the owner of the Servicing Rights related to each such Underlying Asset, Buyer shall have the sole right to appoint the Servicer for each Underlying Asset.

Appointment of Servicer. Subject to Buyer’s right to appoint a successor Servicer at its sole discretion, Buyer hereby appoints Guild Servicer as the Servicer to subservice the Underlying Assets on behalf of Buyer as agent for Buyer for the period between the Purchase Date and the Repurchase Date of the Purchased Assets relating to such Underlying Assets. The right of Guild Servicer to service the Underlying Assets is on an interim basis only and does not provide or confer a contractual, ownership or other right for Guild Servicer to service the Underlying Assets, it being understood that upon payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer owns the Participation Interests in the related Servicing Rights and may assume servicing or appoint a Successor Servicer at any time. Further, the fact that Guild Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of the Underlying Assets or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to Guild Servicer regarding the servicing of the Underlying Assets shall not affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of the Participation Interests related to the Servicing Rights related to the Underlying Assets.

Interim Servicing Period; No Servicing Fee or Income. For each Transaction, Guild Servicer’s right to interim service an Underlying Asset shall commence on the related Purchase Date and shall automatically terminate without notice on the earlier of (i) [***] after the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset or (ii) the Repurchase Date. If the interim servicing period expires with respect to any Underlying Asset for any reason other than Seller repurchasing such Purchased Asset and obtaining the release of such Underlying Asset, then such interim servicing period shall automatically terminate if not renewed by Buyer. In connection with any such renewal, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall continue to interim service the Underlying Asset for a [***] extension period. Absent any such extension of the interim servicing period, Guild Servicer shall transfer servicing of the Underlying Asset (which shall include the delivery of all Servicing Records related to such Underlying Asset) to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the interim servicing period (including the expiration of any extension period) with respect to any Underlying Asset, Guild Servicer shall have no right to service the related Underlying Asset nor shall Buyer have any obligation to extend the interim servicing period (or continue to extend the interim servicing period), it being understood that upon such expiration, Guild Servicer shall promptly transfer the servicing of the related Underlying Asset to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. Buyer shall have no obligation to pay Guild Servicer, nor shall Guild Servicer have any right to deduct or retain, any servicing fee or similar compensation in connection with the interim servicing of an Underlying Asset.

Servicing Agreement. If there is a Servicer of the Underlying Assets, other than a Guild Party, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, Guild Parties shall enter into a Servicing Agreement with the Servicer on behalf of Buyer, which such Servicing Agreement shall be on terms acceptable to Buyer in its discretion, and which shall include, at a minimum, (i) a recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interests and rights to the Participation Interests in the Underlying Assets as provided under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Buyer’s ownership of the Participation Interests in the Servicing Rights related to the Underlying Assets; (ii) an obligation for the Servicer to subservice the Underlying

Assets consistent with the degree of skill and care that the Servicer customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it but in no event no less than in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; (iii) an obligation to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations; (iv) an obligation to maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its subservicing responsibilities; (v) an obligation not to impair the rights of Buyer in any Underlying Asset or any payment thereon and (vi) an obligation to collect all Income in respect of the Underlying Assets on behalf of Buyer, in trust, in segregated custodial accounts and remit such Income to the Custodial Account within [***] of receipt. Further, such Servicing Agreement shall contain express reporting requirements and other rights to allow Buyer to inspect the records of the Servicer with respect to the Underlying Assets. Buyer may terminate the subservicing of any Underlying Asset with the then existing Servicer in accordance with either Section 6.2(f) or Section 6.2(n).

Servicing Obligations of Guild Servicer. To the extent Guild Servicer shall subservice any Underlying Asset on behalf of Buyer, Guild Servicer shall:

Subservice and administer the Underlying Assets on behalf of Buyer in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with the degree of care and servicing standards generally prevailing in the industry, including all applicable requirements of the Agency Guides, applicable law, FHA Regulations, VA Regulations and RD Regulations, the requirements of any Insurer, as applicable, and the requirements of any applicable Purchase Commitment and the related Approved Investor, so that neither the eligibility of the Underlying Asset and any related Mortgage-Backed Security for purchase under such Purchase Commitment nor the FHA Mortgage Insurance, VA Loan Guaranty Agreement, RD Loan Guaranty Agreement or any other applicable insurance or guarantee in respect of any such Underlying Asset, if any, is voided or reduced by such servicing and administration;

Subject to Section 6.2(g), and to the extent not otherwise held by the Custodian, Guild Servicer shall at all times maintain and safeguard the Mortgage Loan File for the Underlying Asset in accordance with applicable law and lending industry custom and practice and shall hold such Mortgage Loan File in trust for Buyer, and in any event shall maintain and safeguard photocopies of the documents delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.3, and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Underlying Asset; Guild Servicer’s possession of such Mortgage Loan File is for the sole purpose of subservicing such Underlying Asset and such retention and possession by Guild Servicer is in a custodial capacity only;

Buyer may, at any time during Guild Servicer’s business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such documents and records, or require delivery of the originals of such documents and records to Buyer or its designee;

Guild Servicer shall deliver to Buyer all such reports with respect to the Underlying Assets required in the Transactions Terms Letter and herein at the times and on the dates set forth therein and herein. In addition, at Buyer’s request, Guild Servicer shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status of any Underlying Asset being subserviced by it, which reports shall

include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder for more than [***] or such other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect with respect to such Underlying Asset, Buyer’s title to such Underlying Asset or the collateral securing such Underlying Asset; Guild Servicer is required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Underlying Asset by Seller; and

Guild Servicer shall immediately notify Buyer if Guild Servicer becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under an Underlying Asset.

Sale or Transfer of Servicing Rights by Buyer. Buyer may sell or transfer any rights to service an Underlying Asset without the prior written consent of Guild Parties or any Servicer.

Release of Mortgage Loan Files. Guild Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of any Mortgage Loan File only in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, except when such release is required (1) as incidental to Guild Servicer’s subservicing of the related Underlying Asset, (2) to complete the Purchase Commitment, or (3) by law.

Right to Appoint Successor Servicer. Buyer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to appoint a successor servicer to subservice any Underlying Asset (each a “Successor Servicer”). In the event of such an appointment, Guild Parties or the Servicer, as applicable, shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Mortgage Loan File and related Servicing Records held by Guild Parties or the Servicer, together with all funds in the Custodial Account and other receipts relating to such Underlying Asset, are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer. Guild Parties shall have no claim for servicing fees, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder.

[Reserved].

Location of Custodial Account. Seller shall not change the identity or location of a Custodial Account without thirty (30) days prior notice to Buyer. Seller shall from time to time, at its own cost and expense, execute such directions to the depository Eligible Bank, and other papers, documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to reflect Buyer’s ownership interest in each Custodial Account.

Accounting of Custodial Account. If Buyer so requests, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of each deposit in the Custodial Account, and each withdrawal from the Custodial Account, made by it with respect to the Underlying Assets. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to the Custodial Account as Buyer may from time to time request.

Servicer Notice. As a condition precedent to Buyer funding the Purchase Price in respect of any Underlying Asset subserviced by a Servicer other than a Guild Party, Buyer, or an Affiliate of Buyer, Guild Parties shall provide to Buyer (i) a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer, advising the Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Underlying Assets and ownership of the Participation Interests in the Servicing Rights related thereto and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice

of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the subservicing of the related Underlying Assets.

Notification of Servicer Defaults. If a Guild Party should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to a Guild Party by contract for managing or servicing any such Underlying Asset has failed to perform fully a Guild Party’s obligations with respect to the management or servicing of such Underlying Asset as required under this Agreement or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Underlying Assets, as delegated by such Guild Party pursuant to any Servicing Agreement such Guild Party shall promptly notify Buyer.

Termination. Buyer shall have the right at any time to immediately terminate the Guild Parties’ or any Servicer’s (as applicable) right to subservice the Underlying Assets due to a Servicer Termination Event or for any other reason without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Guild Parties shall cooperate, or cause the Servicer to cooperate, in transferring the servicing of the Underlying Assets to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole and good faith discretion. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Buyer as a result of a Servicer Termination Event or an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Buyer’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.

Buyer’s Right to Service. After providing thirty (30) days’ notice to Seller (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Buyer or its designee, at the Buyer’s sole discretion, shall be entitled to service some or all of the Underlying Assets, including, without limitation, receiving and collecting all sums payable in respect of same. Upon Buyer’s determination and written notice to Guild Parties or the Servicer, as applicable, that Buyer desires to service some or all of the Underlying Assets, Guild Parties shall promptly cooperate, or shall cause the Servicer to promptly cooperate, with all instructions of Buyer and do or accomplish all acts or things necessary to effect the transfer of the servicing to Buyer or its designee, at Guild Parties’ sole expense. Upon Buyer’s or its designee’s servicing of the Underlying Assets, (i) Buyer may, in its own name or in the name of Guild Parties or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for the Underlying Asset(s), but shall be under no obligation to do so; (ii) Guild Parties shall, if Buyer so requests, pay to Buyer all amounts received by Guild Parties upon or in respect of the Underlying Asset(s) or other Purchased Items, advising Buyer as to the source of such funds; and (iii) all amounts so received and collected by Buyer shall be held by it as part of the Purchased Items or applied against any outstanding Repurchase Price owed Buyer.

Margin Account Maintenance.

Asset Value. Buyer shall have the right to determine the Asset Value of each Purchased Asset and its related Underlying Asset at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Asset Value of a Purchased Asset shall be determined with respect to the Asset Value of the related Underlying Asset; provided that if a Purchased Asset fails to qualify as an Eligible Participation Interest, Buyer may mark the Asset Value of such Purchased Asset (and all related Underlying Assets) to zero.

Margin Deficit and Margin Call. If Buyer shall determine at any time that (A) the Asset Value of a Purchased Asset (or any related Underlying Asset) subject to a Transaction is

less than the related Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset (or such related Underlying Asset, as applicable), (B) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to each Transaction is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for such Transaction, or (C) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all such Transactions is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for such Transactions (in any such case, a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may, at its sole option and by notice to Guild Parties (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Guild Parties to either:

transfer to Buyer or its designee cash or, at Buyer’s sole option, additional Participation Interests related to Eligible Underlying Assets approved by Buyer (“Additional Underlying Assets”) so that (A) the individual Asset Value of the Purchased Asset (and related Underlying Assets), (B) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to each Transaction, or (C) the aggregate Asset Value of all Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions, as the case may be, including any such cash or additional Participation Interests related to Additional Underlying Assets tendered by the Seller, will thereupon equal or exceed the individual or Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price(s) as applicable; or

pay one or more Repurchase Prices, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to reduce the related Purchase Price so that the related Purchase Price (or the related Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price) is less than or equal to the Asset Value of the Purchased Asset (and related Underlying Asset(s) (or the aggregate Asset Value of the Purchased Assets (and related Underlying Asset(s), as applicable).

Buyer’s Discretion. Buyer’s election not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

Over/Under Account. Buyer may, in its sole and good faith discretion, withdraw from the Over/Under Account amounts equal to any Margin Deficit which is not otherwise satisfied by Seller within the time frames provided in this Section 6.3.

Credit to Repurchase Price. Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transaction(s).

Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Custodial Arrangements. With respect to Underlying Assets related to Purchased Assets, Buyer may appoint any Person to act as the Custodian to hold possession of the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Agency Documents (or a portion thereof) and to take actions at

the direction of Buyer. If any Person other than Buyer is appointed as Custodian, it shall be a condition precedent to Buyer entering into any Transactions hereunder that Guild Parties, Buyer and Custodian enter into a Custodial Agreement acceptable to Buyer. Guild Parties hereby consent to any and all such appointments and agrees to deliver the Mortgage Loan Documents and certain of the Agency Documents to the Custodian upon the direction of Buyer. Guild Parties further agree that (i) the Custodian shall be exclusively the agent, bailee and/or custodian of Buyer; (ii) receipt of the Mortgage Loan Documents by the Custodian shall be constructive receipt by Buyer of the Mortgage Loan Documents; (iii) Guild Parties shall not have and shall not attempt to exercise any degree of control over the Custodian or any Mortgage Loan Document held by the Custodian; and (iv) Buyer shall not be liable for any act or omission by the Custodian selected by Buyer with reasonable care.

Temporary Withdrawal of Mortgage Loan Documents for Correction. Buyer may, in its sole and good faith discretion, permit Guild Parties to withdraw, for a period not to exceed ten (10) Business Days, specified Mortgage Loan Documents for the purpose of correcting or completing such documents or servicing the related Underlying Assets; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in writing, in no event shall more than [***] Mortgage Loan Files (or Mortgage Loan Documents from more than [***] Mortgage Loan Files) shall be released from Custodian’s possession at any one time; provided, further, that any Mortgage Loan Documents that are withdrawn by or at the request of a Guild Party and delivered to a Person other than a Guild Party shall at all times be covered by one or more Bailee Agreements, true and complete and fully executed copies of which shall be delivered to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.4(b), and the interest of Buyer in the related Underlying Asset shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are returned to, or the Repurchase Prices with respect thereto are received by, Buyer.

Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents to Approved Investors. Provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the written request of Guild Parties, Buyer may, at its option and in its sole and good faith discretion, deliver to an Approved Investor set forth in the related Purchase Commitment, or its custodian, the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to a specified Underlying Asset. All such Underlying Assets and the related Mortgage Loan Documents shall at all times be covered by one or more Bailee Agreements, and Buyer or its designee will not release Mortgage Loan Documents to an Approved Investor unless Buyer or its Custodian has received a true and complete and fully executed Bailee Agreement from the Approved Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.4(c), and the interest of Buyer in the related Underlying Asset shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are returned to, or the Repurchase Prices with respect thereto are received by, Buyer. If the Approved Investor does not purchase an Underlying Asset as contemplated by the related Purchase Commitment, Guild Parties shall, upon the request of Buyer, assist Buyer in the recovery of any Mortgage Loan Documents not returned by the Approved Investor to Buyer.

Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents Relating to Mortgage-Backed Securities. Upon the written request of Guild Parties, Buyer may, at its option and in its sole and good faith discretion, deliver to the certifying custodian, or permit the delivery to the certifying custodian of, the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to those Underlying Assets that are

or will be Pooled Mortgage Loans. All such Underlying Assets and the related Mortgage Loan Documents shall at all times be covered by a Bailee Agreement, and Buyer or its designee will not release Mortgage Loan Documents to a certifying custodian unless Buyer or its designee has received a signed tri-party custodial agreement from such custodian, in a form acceptable to Buyer. Buyer shall have no obligation to release or permit the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents to any certifying custodian that will not sign a custodial agreement acceptable to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.4(d), and the interest of Buyer in the related Underlying Asset shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are returned to, or proceeds thereof are received by, Buyer. Guild Parties shall pay for all costs of the certifying custodian and use its best efforts to ensure that the issuer delivers the Mortgage-Backed Securities to the Depository in the name of Buyer or Buyer’s nominee on the related Settlement Date.

Repurchase and Release of Purchased Assets. Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may repurchase a Purchased Asset (or obtain the release of related Underlying Assets, as applicable) by either:

paying, or causing an Approved Investor to pay, to Buyer, subject to Sections 4.7 and 4.8 above, the Repurchase Price; or

transferring to Buyer cash and/or additional Participation Interests relating to Underlying Assets satisfactory to Buyer, in aggregate amounts sufficient to cover the amount by which the aggregate amount of Transactions then outstanding hereunder (plus accrued interest and accrued fees with respect thereto) exceeds the Asset Value of the existing Purchased Assets, excluding the Purchased Assets (and related Underlying Assets) to be released; provided that (i) such additional Participation Interests shall be deemed part of a new Transaction, and (ii) the conditions precedent in Section 7.2 shall be satisfied prior to any such transfer.

Repurchase Transactions. Beginning on the related Purchase Date and prior to the related Repurchase Date for a Transaction, Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all related Purchased Assets (and related Underlying Assets) and may in its sole discretion and without notice to Guild Parties engage in repurchase transactions with respect to any or all of such Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or convey any or all of such Purchased Assets (and related Underlying Assets) (such transactions, “Repurchase Transactions”). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Asset or Purchased Item delivered to Buyer by Guild Parties. Guild Parties shall not be responsible for any additional obligations, costs or fees in connection with such Repurchase

Periodic Due Diligence. Guild Parties acknowledge that Buyer has the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Underlying Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement, or otherwise, and Guild Parties agree that upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Day’s) prior notice to Guild Parties (provided that upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, no such prior notice shall be required), Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Loan Files, the Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of any Guild Party, Custodian or Servicer. Further, Guild Parties will make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer and will instruct such officer to answer candidly and fully, at no cost to Buyer, any and all questions that any authorized representative of Buyer may address to them in reference to the Mortgage Loan Files, Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guild Parties acknowledge that Buyer shall purchase Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Guild Parties to Buyer in the Asset Data Records and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right, at any time to re-underwrite any of the Underlying Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such re-underwriting. Guild Parties agree to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such re-underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of any Guild Party.

This Agreement creates in favor of Buyer, a valid, enforceable first priority lien and security interest in the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items and Underlying Asset Collateral, prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other liens.

As of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to each Transaction, the fair value of the assets of each Guild Party is greater than the fair value of the liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as a liability on the financial statements of each Guild Party in accordance with GAAP) of each Guild Party and each Guild Party 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. Each Guild Party does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Each Guild Party is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of each Guild Party or any of its assets. Each Guild Party is not transferring any Asset with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

Custodial Account. All funds required to be segregated and deposited into the Custodial Account have been so segregated and deposited.

Chief Executive Office. Each Guild Party’s chief executive office is located at 5887 Copley Drive, 6th Floor, San Diego, CA 92111.

True Sales. For each Underlying Asset with respect to which the originator, issuer or prior owner is an Affiliate of Guarantor, any and all interest of such originator, issuer or prior owner has been sold, transferred, conveyed and assigned to Guarantor pursuant to a legal and true sale and such originator, issuer or prior owner retains no interest in such Underlying Asset, and if so requested by Buyer, such sale is covered by an opinion of counsel to that effect in form and substance acceptable to Buyer.

No Adverse Selection. Guild Parties used no selection procedures that identified the Underlying Assets subject to a Transaction hereunder as being less desirable or valuable than other comparable Mortgage Loans owned by Guild Parties.

No Broker. No Guild Party has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets or otherwise with respect to the related Underlying Assets pursuant to this Agreement; provided that if Guild Party has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets or otherwise with respect to the related Underlying Assets pursuant to this Agreement, such commission or compensation shall have been paid in full by such Guild Party.

MERS. Guarantor is a member of MERS in good standing.

Agency Approvals. Each Guild Party has all requisite Approvals and is in good standing with each Agency, with no event having occurred or each Guild Party having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur, including, without limitation, a change in insurance coverage which would either make each Guild Party unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals or require notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD, FHA, VA or RD.

Custodian. If the Custodian is a Person other than Buyer, such Custodian is an eligible custodian under each applicable Agency Guide and Agency Program, and is not an Affiliate of any Guild Party.

No Adverse Actions. No Guild Party has received from any Agency, HUD, the FHA, the VA or the RD a notice of extinguishment or a notice indicating material breach, default or material non-compliance which Buyer reasonably determines may entitle such Agency or HUD, the FHA, the VA or the RD to terminate, suspend, sanction or levy penalties against such Guild Party, or a notice from any Agency, HUD, the FHA, the VA or the RD indicating any adverse fact or circumstance in respect of such Guild Party which Buyer reasonably determines may entitle such Agency or HUD, the FHA, the VA or the RD, as the case may be, to revoke any Approval or otherwise terminate, suspend such Guild Party as an approved issuer, seller or servicer, as applicable, or with respect to which such adverse fact or circumstance has caused any Agency, HUD, the FHA, the VA or the RD to terminate such Guild Party.

Accuracy of Wire Instructions. With respect to each Underlying Asset subject to a Purchase Commitment by an Agency, as applicable, (1) either the wire transfer instructions as set forth on the applicable Agency Documents are identical to Buyer’s designated wire instructions or the Buyer has approved such wire transfer instructions in writing in its sole discretion, or (2) either the payee number set forth on the applicable Agency Documents is identical to the payee number that has been identified by Buyer in writing as Buyer’s payee number or the Buyer has approved the related payee number in writing in its sole discretion. With respect to each Pooled Mortgage Loan, the applicable Agency Documents are duly executed by Guild Parties and designate Buyer as the party authorized to receive the related Mortgage-Backed Securities.

No Sanctions. Neither any Guild Party nor any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, partners or members, (i) is an entity or person (or to each Guild Party’s knowledge, owned or controlled by an entity or person) that (A) is currently the subject of any economic sanctions administered or imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, Her Majesty’s Treasury or any other relevant authority (collectively, “Sanctions”) or (B) resides, is organized or chartered, or has a place of business in a country or territory that is currently the subject of Sanctions or (ii) is engaging or will engage in any dealings or transactions prohibited by Sanctions or will directly or indirectly use the proceeds of any Transactions contemplated hereunder, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to or for the benefit of any person or entity, for the purpose of financing or supporting, directly or indirectly, the activities of any person or entity that is currently the subject of Sanctions.

Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Each Guild Party has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the USA Patriot Act of 2001, as amended, and the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, as amended (collectively, the “Anti Money Laundering Laws”); each Guild Party has established an anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the origination of each Underlying Asset for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including with respect to the bona fide identity of the applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the assets used by said Mortgagor to purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will

maintain, sufficient information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

Beneficial Ownership Certification. The information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification, if applicable, is true and correct in all respects.

Separateness. Each Guild Party is in compliance with the requirements of Section 9.19 hereof.

Acquisition of Underlying Assets. With respect to each Underlying Asset acquired by or on behalf of Guarantor from a third-party transferor (the Participation Interests in which have been transferred to the Seller), (i) such Underlying Asset was acquired and transferred on a legal true sale basis pursuant to a purchase agreement, (ii) such transferor received reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer of such Underlying Asset, (iii) no such transfer was made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by such transferor to Guarantor or Affiliate of Guarantor, and (iv) no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code. The Guarantor has issued Participation Interests pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement to the Seller, and the Guarantor retains no beneficial or economic interests in such Underlying Assets. The issuance of Participation Interests by the Guarantor to the Seller was not for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Guarantor to the Seller and is not voidable or subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code.

Participation Certificates; Participation Interests.

The Participation Certificate represents all of the Participation Interests issued by the Guarantor.

Each Participation Certificate and the related Participation Interests have been duly and validly issued in compliance with applicable law and the Participation Agreement and is fully paid and nonassessable.

Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment of a Participation Certificate or Participation Interests to, and the registration thereof in the name of, Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, such Participation Certificate and Participation Interests.

Each Participation Certificate and the related Participation Interests are unencumbered (other than Liens created in favor of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and Liens created by or through Buyer). Upon consummation of the Transaction contemplated to occur in respect of such any Participation Interests, the Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to Buyer all legal and beneficial interest in and to such Participation Interests free and clear of any Liens (other than Liens created in favor of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and Liens created by or through Buyer).

There are (x) no outstanding rights, options, warrants or agreements (other than as created by Buyer) for a purchase, sale or issuance, in connection with any Participation Certificate or any Participation Interests, (y) no agreements on the part of Seller to issue, sell or distribute any Participation Certificate or

Participation Interests (other than to Buyer), and (z) no obligations on the part of Seller (contingent or otherwise) to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any securities or any interest therein or to pay any dividend or make any distribution in respect of any Participation Certificate or Participation Interests.

Each Participation Certificate is a certificated security in registered form. It is the intent of the parties hereto that each Participation Certificate constitute a “security” as that term is defined in Section 8-102 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

No fraudulent acts were committed by any Guild Party or Affiliates thereof in connection with the issuance of any Participation Certificates or Participation Interests.

No Guild Party is a party to any document, instrument or agreement, and there is no document, instrument or agreement, that by its terms modifies or affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Participation Interests for which Buyer’s consent has not been obtained and no Guild Party has consented to any material change or waiver to any term or provision of any such document, instrument or agreement and no such change or waiver exists (other than changes or waivers to which Buyer has consented).

No Participation Interests have been cancelled, satisfied or rescinded in whole or part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect a cancellation, satisfaction or rescission thereof, except in connection with Underlying Assets.

Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the Principal Agreements governing such Participation Interests, no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale, and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Participation Interests, or Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Participation Interests or for Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Participation Interests. No third party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies with respect to such Participation Interests.

Representations and Warranties Concerning Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets. Each Guild Party represents and warrants to and covenants with Buyer that the representations and warranties contained on Exhibit L hereto are true and correct with respect to each Purchased Asset and Underlying Asset as of the related Purchase Date through and until the date on which such Purchased Asset is repurchased by Seller (or Underlying Asset is released by Buyer, as applicable).

Continuing Representations and Warranties. By submitting an Asset Data Record hereunder, each Guild Party shall be deemed to have represented and warranted the truthfulness and completeness of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit L hereto.

Amendment of Representations and Warranties. From time to time as determined necessary by Buyer, Buyer may amend the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit L hereto. Any

Each Guild Party agrees that should any Guild Party or any Affiliate thereof enter into a repurchase agreement (including, without limitation, a renewal of the Agreement), warehouse facility, guaranty or similar credit facility with any Person which by its terms provides more favorable terms with respect to any of the financial covenants or reporting

requirements, then such Guild Party shall provide notice to Buyer and such terms of the Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended to include such more favorable terms, such that such terms operate in favor of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer. Each Guild Party further agrees to execute and deliver any new agreements or amendments to the Agreement evidencing such provisions, provided that the execution of such amendment shall not be a precondition to the effectiveness of such amendment, but shall merely be for the convenience of the parties thereto. Further, at the request of Buyer, each Guild Party shall promptly provide Buyer with its financial covenants and any other covenants that Buyer deems material under any such current, future or modified third party agreement and/or copies of any personal and/or corporate guaranties required in connection with such third party agreement.

Further, if a Potential Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and for as long as such is occurring, no Guild Party shall, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Buyer, make any payment of any kind thereafter

on such Debt or Subordinated Debt until all obligations of Guild Parties hereunder have been paid and performed in full.

Liens on Purchased Assets and Purchased Items. Each Guild Party acknowledges that with respect to each Transaction it shall have sold the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items and Underlying Asset Collateral and shall have granted to Buyer a first priority security interest in such assets in the event such Transaction is deemed a loan. Accordingly, each Guild Party shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien upon the Purchased Assets or the Purchased Items, other than as granted to Buyer herein.

Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets and Change of Control. No Guild Party shall, directly or indirectly, (a) wind up, liquidate or dissolve its affairs; (b) enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation with any Person; (c) convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, or agree to do any of the foregoing at any future time, all or substantially all of its property or assets, (d) form or enter into any partnership, joint venture, syndicate or other combination which could have a Material Adverse Effect; or (e) allow a Change of Control to occur with respect to such Guild Party, without prior written consent of Buyer; provided, however, that such Guild Party may, without the prior written consent of Buyer, and provided that a Potential Default or an Event of Default is not existing and will not occur as a result thereof: (i) merge or consolidate with any Person if such Guild Party is the surviving and controlling entity and (ii) in the ordinary course of Guarantor’s mortgage banking business, sell equipment that is uneconomic or obsolete and acquire Mortgage Loans for resale and sell Mortgage Loans.

Payment of Dividends and Retirement of Stock. If a Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will occur as a result of such payments, Guild Parties shall not pay any dividends or distributions with respect to any capital stock or other equity interests in Guild Parties, whether now or hereafter outstanding, or make any other distribution in respect thereof, either directly or indirectly, whether in cash or property or in obligations of Guild Parties.

Purchased Items. No Guild Party shall attempt to resell, reassign, retransfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or pledge or otherwise encumber (except pursuant to this Agreement) any of the Purchased Assets or other Purchased Items or Underlying Asset Collateral or any interest therein. No Guild Party shall, without prior written consent of Buyer, amend or modify, or waive any of the terms and conditions of, or settle or compromise any claim in respect of, any Purchased Item.

Secondary Marketing, Underwriting, Third Party Origination and Interest Rate Risk Management Practices. Guarantor shall not, without the prior written approval of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, change in any material respect any secondary marketing, underwriting, third party origination and interest rate risk management practices of Guarantor that exist as of the Effective Date. By way of example but not limitation, any material change to Guarantor’s hedging strategy or any change to add third party origination shall be considered material changes subject to the prior written approval of Buyer. The fact that Guarantor may from time to time disclose to Buyer in writing proposed changes in such practices after the date hereof shall not be deemed Buyer’s consent to or written approval thereof unless Buyer has indicated written approval of such changes. It shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder if Guarantor changes any of the foregoing practices without having obtained such prior written approval from Buyer.

[Reserved].

Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer may, by notice to Guild Parties, declare all or any portion of the Repurchase Prices related to the outstanding Transactions to be immediately due and payable whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable, and the obligation of Buyer to enter into Transactions shall thereupon terminate; provided that the acceleration of all Repurchase Prices and termination of Buyer’s obligation to enter into Transactions shall immediately occur upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(h), (m), or (n), notwithstanding that Buyer may not have provided any such notice to Guild Parties. Further, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Guild Party shall strictly comply with the negative covenants contained in Article 10 hereunder and in no event shall any Guild Party declare and pay any dividends, incur additional Debt or Subordinated Debt, make payments on existing Debt or Subordinated Debt or otherwise distribute or transfer any of any Guild Party’s property and assets to any Person without the prior written consent of Buyer. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Buyer may also, at its option, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

enter the office(s) of any Guild Party and take possession of any of the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets and Underlying Asset Collateral including any records relating thereto;

communicate with and notify Mortgagors of the Underlying Assets and obligors under other Underlying Assets or on any portion thereof, whether such communications and notifications are in verbal, written or electronic form, including, without limitation, communications and notifications that the Underlying Assets have been assigned to Buyer and that all payments thereon are to be made directly to Buyer or its designee; settle compromise, or release, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Underlying Assets or any portion of the Underlying Assets, on terms acceptable to Buyer; enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any and all Underlying Assets; and where any Underlying Asset is in default, foreclose upon and enforce security interests in, such Underlying Asset by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process and sell property acquired as a result of any such foreclosure;

collect payments from Mortgagors and/or assume servicing of, or contract with a third party to subservice, any or all Underlying Assets requiring servicing and/or perform any obligations required in connection with Purchase Commitments, with all of any such third party’s fees to be paid by Guild Parties. In connection with collecting payments from Mortgagors and/or assuming servicing of any or all Underlying Assets, Buyer may take possession of and open any mail addressed to any Guild Party, remove, collect and apply all payments for any Guild Party, sign any Guild Party’s name to any receipts, checks, notes, agreements or other instruments or letters or appoint an agent to exercise and perform any of these rights. If Buyer so requests, Guild Parties shall promptly forward to Buyer or its designee, all further mail and all “trailing” documents, such as title insurance policies, deeds of trust, and other documents, and all loan payment histories, both in paper and electronic format, in each case, as same relate to the Underlying Assets;

proceed against any Guild Party under this Agreement or against any Guarantor(s) under their respective Guaranty, or both;

either (x) sell, without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem to be commercially reasonable for cash or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, any or all or portions of the Purchased Items or Underlying Asset Collateral on a servicing-retained or servicing-released basis; provided that Buyer may purchase any or all of the Purchased Items or Underlying Asset Collateral at any public or private sale; provided, further, that any Guild Party shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following any such sale and/or credit; or (y) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Items or Underlying Asset Collateral, to give any Guild Party credit for such Purchased Items or Underlying Asset Collateral (including credit for the Servicing Rights in respect of sales on a servicing-retained basis) in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Underlying Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Guild Parties hereunder. Guild Parties shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence;

enter into one or more hedging arrangements covering all or a portion of the Purchased Items or Underlying Asset Collateral; and/or

pursue any rights and/or remedies available at law or in equity against any Guild Party.

Treatment of Custodial Account. During the existence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Guild Party shall have the right to withdraw or release any funds in the Custodial Account to itself or for its benefit, nor shall it have any right to set-off any amount owed to it by Buyer against funds held by it for Buyer in the Custodial Account. During the existence of an Event of Default, Guild Parties shall promptly remit to or at the direction of Buyer all funds related to the Purchased Assets in the Custodial Account.

Sale of Purchased Assets. Following an Event of Default, Buyer may securitize or otherwise sell the Purchased Assets with no obligation to reacquire title as provided in Section 6.6 and Buyer shall incur no liability as a result of such transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may sell the Purchased Assets as part of a pool comprised of, all or part of, the Purchased Assets and other mortgage loans owned by Buyer; in such instance, the value of the Purchased Assets shall be determined on a pro rata basis. Each Guild Party hereby waives any claims it may have against Buyer arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Purchased Assets may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate Repurchase Price amount of the outstanding Transactions, even if Buyer accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Purchased Assets, or any part thereof, to more than one offeree.

No Obligation to Pursue Remedy. Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Guild Parties. Guild Parties further waive any right to require Buyer to (a) proceed against any Person, (b) proceed against or exhaust all or any of the Purchased Assets or Underlying Asset Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies as against the Purchased Assets or Underlying Asset Collateral in any particular order, or (c) pursue any other remedy in its power. Buyer shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights of Guild Parties against holders of mortgages prior in lien to the lien of any Purchased Items or Underlying Asset Collateral or to preserve rights against prior parties. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right,

power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without intending to limit the foregoing, all defenses based on the statute of limitations are hereby waived by Guild Parties. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

No Judicial Process. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Guild Parties hereby expressly waive, to the extent permitted by law, any right Guild Parties might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Guild Parties also waive, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Guild Parties might otherwise have to its obligations under this Agreement arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets or from any other election of remedies. Guild Parties recognize that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses. Buyer may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and enforce the lien and priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Purchased Items or Underlying Asset Collateral, including, without limitation, payment of delinquent Taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances, charges, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and losses resulting from any hedging arrangements entered into by Buyer pursuant to Section 11.2(f), incurred or paid by Buyer in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, from the time of payment until repaid, shall become a part of the Repurchase Price.

Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale or other enforcement of Buyer’s interest in all or any part of the Purchased Assets or Underlying Asset Collateral shall be applied by Buyer:

first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to Buyer’s agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Buyer in connection therewith;

second, to the costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions;

third, to the payment of any other amounts due under this Agreement other than the aggregate Repurchase Price;

fourth, to the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price;

fifth, to all other obligations owed by Guild Parties under this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements; and

sixth, in accordance with Buyer’s exercise of its rights under Section 11.9 hereof.

Rights of Set-Off. Buyer shall have the following rights of set-off:

If Guild Parties shall default in the payment or performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right, at any time, and from time to time, to set-off claims and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property or

any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Buyer to or for the credit of the account of Seller against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Guild Party under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not Buyer shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations and liabilities shall have become due; provided, however, that the aforesaid right to set-off shall not apply to any deposits of escrow monies being held on behalf of the Mortgagors related to the Underlying Assets or other third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by Buyer with respect to any Transaction against obligations and liabilities owed by any Guild Party to Buyer with respect to any other Transaction. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of any liquidation of the Purchased Items and Underlying Asset Collateral and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to such Guild Party against all of Guild Parties’ obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Guild Parties after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

In addition to the rights in subsection (a), Buyer and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Bank of America Related Entities”), shall have the right to set-off and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Bank of America Related Entity to or for the credit of the account of each Guild Party and its Affiliates against and on account of the obligations of Guild Parties under any agreement(s) between a Guild Party and/or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Bank of America Related Entity, on the other hand, irrespective of whether or not the Bank of America Related Entity shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations shall have matured. In exercising the foregoing right to set-off, any Bank of America Related Entity shall be entitled to withdraw funds in the Over/Under Account which are being held for or owing to Seller to set-off against any amounts due and owing by Seller to the Bank of America Related Entity. If a Bank of America Related Entity other than Buyer intends to exercise its right to set-off in this subsection (b), such Bank of America Related Entity shall provide Guild Parties prior notice thereof, and upon Guild Parties’ receipt of such notice, if the basis for such right to set-off is a Guild Party’s breach or default of its obligations to the Bank of America Related Entity, Guild Parties shall have [***] to cure any such breach or default in order to avoid such set-off.

Reasonable Assurances. If, at any time during the term of the Agreement, Buyer has reason to believe that any Guild Party is not conducting its business in accordance with, or otherwise is not satisfying: (i) all applicable statutes, regulations, rules, and notices of federal, state, or local governmental agencies or instrumentalities, all applicable requirements of Approved Investors and Insurers and prudent industry standards or (ii) all applicable requirements of Buyer, as set forth in this Agreement, then, Buyer shall have the right to demand, pursuant to notice from Buyer to Guild Parties specifying with particularity the alleged act, error or omission in question, reasonable assurances from Guild Parties that such a belief is in fact unfounded, and any failure of Guild Parties to provide to Buyer such reasonable assurances in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, within the time frame specified in such notice, shall itself constitute an Event of Default hereunder, without a further cure period. Guild Parties hereby authorize Buyer to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to confirm the continued eligibility of Guild Parties for Transactions hereunder, including without limitation (i) ordering credit reports and/or appraisals with respect to any Underlying Asset, (ii) contacting Mortgagors, licensing

authorities and Approved Investors or Insurers, and (iii) performing due diligence reviews on the Underlying Assets and related Mortgage Loan Files pursuant to Section 6.7.

Indemnification. Each Guild Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Bank of America Related Entities and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of the Principal Agreements, any other document referred to therein or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any Purchased Items or Underlying Asset Collateral or any Guild Party’s obligations thereunder, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank of America Related Entities. Each Guild Party also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, any other Principal Agreement (provided that if the terms of any Principal Agreement conflict with the foregoing, the terms of the Principal Agreement shall control) or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.

Reimbursement. Guild Parties shall reimburse the Bank of America Related Entities for all expenses required in the Transactions Terms Letter to be reimbursed when they become due and owing. In addition, Guild Parties agree to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with (i) the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Purchased Assets or the Underlying Assets or Underlying Asset Collateral prior to the Effective Date or pursuant to Section 6.7, or otherwise, (ii) the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any Principal Agreement or any other documents prepared in connection therewith, and (iii) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer incurred in connection with any of the foregoing.

Payment of Taxes

All payments made by any Guild Party under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges, assessments, fees or withholdings (including backup withholdings), and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), but excluding income taxes (however denominated), branch profits taxes and franchise taxes imposed by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof (such exclusions from Taxes, “Excluded Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by a Guild Party for its own account not later than the date when due. If any Guild Party is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (iii) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence

satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (iv) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of all Indemnified Taxes (as defined below), a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made. In addition, Guild Parties agree to timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, intangible, filing, excise, property or similar Taxes (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by any Governmental Authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”). Taxes other than Excluded Taxes shall be referred to in this Agreement as “Indemnified Taxes.”

Each Guild Party shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against the full amount of any and all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and Other Taxes arising with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Principal Agreements and other documents related thereto and fully indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all liabilities or expenses with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such Taxes, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or assessed by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any payment or liability of Buyer with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes delivered to any Guild Party by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Any Buyer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia (a “Foreign Buyer”) and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall provide Seller with properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces or eliminates the rate of withholding Tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer. If an IRS form previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, each Foreign Buyer will update such form or promptly notify Guild Parties of its legal inability to do so. For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide Guild Parties with the appropriate IRS forms prescribed by this Section 12.3(c) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Indemnified Taxes or indemnification under Section 12.3(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver an IRS form required hereunder, Guild Parties shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes.

Nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary or otherwise subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer.

Buyer Payment. If any Guild Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Article 12, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Guild Party by Buyer, in its discretion and Guild Parties shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer. No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under any of the Principal Agreements.

Agreement Not to Assert Claims. Each Guild Party agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Principal Agreements, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Guild Parties hereunder, the covenants and obligations of each Guild Party contained in this Article 12 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Prices and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Items by Buyer against full payment therefor.

Term. Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, and except as otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the Expiration Date. Following expiration or termination of this Agreement, all amounts due Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Guild Parties and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Guild Parties in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Guild Party.

Termination.

Buyer may, with or without cause, terminate this Agreement at any time by providing [***] notice to Guild Parties. Each Guild Party acknowledges and understands that Buyer is under no obligation whatsoever to continue the term of this Agreement for any period of time and may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason. By way of example but not limitation, Buyer may immediately terminate this Agreement by providing notice to Guild Parties if (i) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by statute to not constitute a “repurchase agreement,” a “securities contract,” or a “master netting agreement,” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) payments or security offered hereunder are deemed by a court or by statute not to constitute “settlement payments” or “margin payments” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by statute not to constitute an agreement to provide financial accommodations as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 365(c)(1) or (iv) Buyer

determines that there has been fraud, misrepresentation or any similar intentional conduct on behalf of any Guild Party, its officers, directors, employees, agents and/or its representatives with respect to any of any Guild Parties’ obligations, responsibilities or actions undertaken in connection with this Agreement. Further, Buyer may, without cause and for any reason whatsoever, terminate this Agreement with respect to the Uncommitted Amount at any time pursuant to Section 2.1.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all outstanding amounts due to Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Guild Parties and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Guild Parties in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Guild Party. Further, any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the outstanding obligations of Guild Parties under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement and all such outstanding obligations and the rights and remedies afforded Buyer in connection therewith, including, without limitation, those rights and remedies afforded Buyer under this Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall not be liable to Guild Parties for any costs, loss or damages arising from or relating to a termination by Buyer in accordance with any subsection of this Section 13.2.

Extension of Term. Upon mutual agreement of Guild Parties and Buyer, the term of this Agreement may be extended. Such extension may be made subject to the terms and conditions hereunder and to any other terms and conditions as Buyer, in its sole and good faith discretion, may determine to be necessary or advisable. Under no circumstances shall such an extension by Buyer be interpreted or construed as a forfeiture by Buyer of any of its rights, entitlements or interest created hereunder. Each Guild Party acknowledges and understands that Buyer is under no obligation whatsoever to extend the term of this Agreement beyond the initial term.

Integration; Servicing Provisions Integral and Non-Severable. This Agreement, together with the other Principal Agreements, and all other documents executed pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications with respect to the subject matter hereof, all of which such communications are merged herein. All Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and the Guild Parties agree that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement related to the servicing and Servicing Rights of the Underlying Assets are integral, interrelated, and are non-severable from the purchase and sale provisions of the Agreement. Buyer has relied upon such provisions as being integral and non-severable in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and in determining the Purchase Price methodology for such Mortgage Loans. The integration of these servicing provisions is necessary to enable Buyer to obtain the maximum value from the sale of the Underlying Assets by having the ability to sell the Servicing Rights related to such Underlying Assets free from any claims or encumbrances. Further, the fact that Seller or the Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing

of the Underlying Assets or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to Seller or the Servicer regarding the servicing of the Underlying Assets shall not affect or otherwise change the intent of Guild Parties and Buyer regarding the integral and non-severable nature of the provisions in the Agreement related to servicing and Servicing Rights nor will such facts affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of the Participation Interests in the Servicing Rights related to the Underlying Assets.

Amendments. No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change is sought.

No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Guild Parties or Buyer in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between Guild Parties and Buyer shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Guild Parties or Buyer would otherwise have. No notice or demand on Guild Parties in any case shall entitle Guild Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Buyer to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Assignment. The Principal Agreements may not be assigned by any Guild Party. The Principal Agreements, along with Buyer’s right, title and interest, including its security interest, in any or all of the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items and Underlying Asset Collateral, may, at any time, be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by Buyer, and upon providing notice to Guild Parties of such transfer or assignment, any transferee or assignee thereof may enforce the Principal Agreements and such security interest directly against Guild Parties.

Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Participations. Buyer may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in this Agreement, and the holder of any such participation, if the participation agreement so provides, (i) shall, with respect to its participation, be entitled to all of the rights of Buyer and (ii) may exercise any and all rights of set-off or banker’s lien with respect thereto, in each case as fully as though Guild Parties were directly obligated to the holder of such participation in the amount of such participation; provided, however, that Guild Parties shall not be required to send or deliver to any of the participants other than Buyer any of the materials or notices required to be sent or delivered by it under the terms of this Agreement, nor shall it have to act except in compliance with the instructions of Buyer.

Invalidity. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.

Additional Instruments. Guild Parties shall execute and deliver such further instruments and shall do and perform all matters and things necessary or expedient to be done or observed for the

purpose of effectively creating, maintaining and preserving the security and benefits intended to be afforded by this Agreement.

Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of Guild Parties shall survive any Transaction and shall be effective so long as this Agreement is in effect or there remains any obligation of Guild Parties hereunder to be performed.

Notices.

All notices, demands, consents, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given or made hereunder in writing shall be mailed (first class, return receipt requested and postage prepaid) or delivered in person or by overnight delivery service or by facsimile, addressed to the respective parties hereto at their respective addresses set forth below or, as to any such party, at such other address as may be designated by it in a notice to the other:

All notices, demands, consents, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given or made hereunder which are not required to be in writing may also be provided electronically either (i) as an electronic mail sent and addressed to the respective parties hereto at their respective electronic mail addresses set forth below, or as to any such party, at such other electronic mail address as may be designated by it in a notice to the other or (ii) with respect to Buyer, via a posting of such notice on Buyer’s customer website(s).

Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law).

Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waivers. All legal actions between or among the parties regarding this Agreement, including, without limitation, legal actions to enforce this Agreement or because of a dispute, breach or default of this Agreement, shall be brought in the federal or state courts located in New York County, New York, which courts shall have sole and exclusive in personam, subject matter and other jurisdiction in connection with such legal actions The parties hereto irrevocably consent and agree that venue in such courts shall be convenient and appropriate for all purposes. and, to the extent permitted by law, waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same. The parties hereto further irrevocably consent and agree that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to its address set forth in Section 14.11(a), and that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of Guild Parties and Buyer hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Principal Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Counterparts. This Agreement and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a “Communication”) may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by Buyer of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Electronic Signatures and facsimile signatures shall be deemed valid and binding to the same extent as the original. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provisions hereof.

Joint and Several Liability of Each Guild Party. To the extent there is more than one Person which is named as a Seller under this Agreement, each such Person shall be jointly and severally liable for the rights, covenants, obligations and warranties and representations of “Seller” as contained herein and the actions of any Person (including another Seller) or third party shall in no way affect such joint and several liability. Each such Seller acknowledges and agrees that (a) a Potential Default or an Event of Default is hereby considered a Potential Default or an Event of Default by each Seller, and (b) the Buyer shall have no obligation to proceed against one Seller before proceeding against the other Seller. Each such Seller hereby waives any defense to its obligations under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement based upon or arising out of the disability or other defense or cessation of liability of one Seller versus the other. A Seller’s subrogation claim arising from payments to Buyer shall constitute a capital investment in another Seller (1) subordinated to any claims of Buyer, and (2) equal to a ratable share of the equity interests in such Seller.

Confidential Information. To effectuate this Agreement, Buyer and Guild Parties may disclose to each other certain confidential information relating to the parties’ operations, computer systems, technical data, business methods, and other information designated by the disclosing party or its agent to be confidential, or that should be considered confidential in nature by a reasonable person given the nature of the information and the circumstances of its disclosure (collectively the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information can consist of information that is either oral or written or both, and may include, without limitation, any of the following: (i) any reports, information or material concerning or pertaining to businesses, methods, plans, finances, accounting statements, and/or projects of either party or their affiliated or related entities; (ii) any of the foregoing related to the parties or their related or affiliated entities and/or their present or future activities and/or (iii) any term or condition of any agreement (including this Agreement) between either party and any individual or entity relating to any of their business operations. With respect to Confidential Information, the parties hereby agree, except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement:

not to use the Confidential Information except in furtherance of this Agreement;

to use reasonable efforts to safeguard the Confidential Information against disclosure to any unauthorized third party with the same degree of care as they exercise with their own information of similar nature; and

not to disclose Confidential Information to anyone other than employees, agents or contractors with a need to have access to the Confidential Information and who are bound to the parties by like obligations of confidentiality, except that the parties shall not be prevented from using or disclosing any of the Confidential Information which: (i) is already known to the receiving party at the time it is obtained from the disclosing party; (ii) is now, or becomes in the future, public knowledge other than through wrongful acts or omissions of the party receiving the Confidential Information; (iii) is lawfully obtained by the party from sources independent of the party disclosing the Confidential Information and without confidentiality and/or non-use restrictions; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without any use of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer may share any Confidential Information of Guild Parties with an Affiliate of Buyer for any valid business purpose, such as, but not limited to, to assist an Affiliate in evaluating a current or potential business relationship with Guild Parties.

Intent. Guild Parties and Buyer recognize and intend that:

this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder constitutes a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and that the pledge of the Related Credit Enhancement in Section 6.1 hereof constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit

enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Guild Parties and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a);

Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Items and Underlying Asset Collateral delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies herein is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to: (i) satisfy a Margin Deficit, (ii) comply with a Margin Call, or (iii) satisfy the provision of Guarantees and/or additional security agreements to provide enhancements to satisfy a deficiency in the Over/Under Account, shall in each case be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5);

any payments or transfers of property by Seller (i) on account of a Haircut, (ii) in partial or full satisfaction of a repurchase obligation, or (iii) fees and costs under this Agreement or under any Transaction shall in each case constitute “settlement payments” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(8); and

each of (i) the Guarantees and/or additional security agreements delivered by Guarantor to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, (ii) the pledge of the amounts on deposit or held in the Over/Under Account pursuant to Section 3.5(e) hereof, and (iii) the pledge of the servicing rights and ancillary collateral related to the Purchased Items and Underlying Asset Collateral in Section 6.1 hereof, each constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Right to Liquidate. It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Items and Underlying Asset Collateral delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to terminate or accelerate obligations under this Agreement or any individual Transaction, are contractual rights for same as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Insured Depository Institution. If a party hereto is an “insured depository institution” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (as amended, the “FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract” as that term is defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable.

Netting Contract. This Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to the FDICIA except insofar as one or more of the parties hereto is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in the FDICIA.

[Reserved].

Examination and Oversight by Regulators. Guild Parties agree that the transactions with Buyer under this Agreement may be subject to regulatory examination and oversight by one or more Governmental Authorities. Guild Parties shall comply with all requests made by Buyer to assist Buyer in complying with regulatory requirements imposed on Buyer.

[Reserved].

Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent, solely for purposes of United States federal income tax purposes and any corresponding provisions of state, local and foreign law, but not for bankruptcy or any other non-tax purpose, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and to treat the Purchased Assets as beneficially owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such tax treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

ISDA Stay Protocol. Buyer and each Guild Party agree that (i) to the extent that prior to the date hereof both parties have adhered to the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol (the “Protocol”), the terms of the Protocol are incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement, and for such purposes this Agreement shall be deemed a Protocol Covered Agreement and each party shall be deemed to have the same status as “Regulated Entity” and/or “Adhering Party” as applicable to it under the Protocol; (ii) if clause (i) does not apply, to the extent that prior to the date hereof the parties have executed a separate agreement the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between them to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules (the “Bilateral Agreement”), the terms of the Bilateral Agreement are incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement and each party shall be deemed to have the status of “Covered Entity” or “Counterparty Entity” (or other similar term) as applicable to it under the Bilateral Agreement; or (iii) if clause (i) and clause (ii) do not apply, the terms of Section 1 and Section 2 and the related defined terms (together, the “Bilateral Terms”) of the form of bilateral template entitled “Full-Length Omnibus (for use between U.S. G-SIBs and Corporate Groups)” published by ISDA on November 2, 2018 (currently available on the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol page at www.isda.org, and a copy of which is available upon request), the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between the parties thereto to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules, are hereby incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement, and for such purposes this Agreement shall be deemed a “Covered Agreement,” Buyer shall be deemed a “Covered Entity” and each Guild Party shall be deemed a “Counterparty Entity.” In the event that, after the date of this Agreement, both parties hereto become adhering parties to the Protocol, the terms of the Protocol will replace the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the terms of the Protocol, the Bilateral Agreement or the Bilateral Terms (each, the “QFC Stay Terms”), as applicable, the QFC Stay Terms will govern. Terms used in this paragraph without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them under the QFC Stay Rules. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “this Agreement” include any related credit enhancements entered into between the parties or provided by one to the other. In addition, the parties agree that the terms of this paragraph shall be incorporated into any related covered affiliate credit enhancements, with all references to Buyer replaced by references to the covered affiliate support provider.

Amendment and Restatement. Buyer and Guarantor entered into the Original Agreement. Buyer and Guild Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety. The amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date, and each of Buyer and each Guild Party shall hereafter be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Principal

Agreements. This Agreement amends and restates the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement, and is not a novation of any of the agreements or obligations incurred pursuant to the terms of the Original Agreement. Accordingly, all of the agreements and obligations incurred pursuant to the terms of the Original Agreement are hereby ratified and affirmed by the parties hereto and remain in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of Buyer and Guarantor that the security interests and liens granted in the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Original Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. All references to the Original Agreement in any Principal Agreement or other document or instrument delivered in connection therewith shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the provisions hereof. As between Buyer and Guild Parties, notwithstanding that one or more Principal Agreements may refer to the Guarantor as the seller thereunder, such reference shall not impact the validity or enforceability of such Principal Agreement in any respect, and to the extent necessary in the context thereof, such reference shall be deemed to refer to the applicable Guild Party hereunder.
