Article II

Demand Registrations

Section 2.1 Requests for Registration. Subject to the provisions of this Article II, the MCMI Holder may at any time make a written request (a “Demand Request”) for registration under the Securities Act of Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”) after such Registrable Securities are no longer subject to the underwriter lock-up applicable to the IPO (which may be due to the expiration or waiver of such lock-up with respect to such Registrable Securities). Such Demand Requests shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method or methods of disposition. Guild shall, within five (5) days of the receipt of a Demand Request, give written notice of such Demand Request to all Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Guild Notice”). Guild shall, subject to the provisions of this Article II and to the Holders’ compliance with their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to file as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than forty-five (45) days after the Demand Request is received, with the Commission a Registration Statement registering all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Request and any Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be included within the ten (10) days following their receipt of the Guild Notice, for disposition in accordance with the intended method or methods set forth therein as promptly as possible following receipt of a Demand Request; provided, that, if the managing underwriter(s) for a Demand Registration in which Registrable Securities are proposed to be included pursuant to this Article II that involves an underwritten offering shall advise Guild that, in its reasonable opinion, the number of Registrable Securities to be sold is greater than the amount that can be offered without adversely affecting the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then Guild will be entitled to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter(s), can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above; provided, further, that in the event of such a reduction in the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration, the number of Registrable Securities registered shall be allocated in the following priority: first, pro rata among the Holders participating in the Demand Registration based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; second, and only if all the securities referred to in the

preceding clause “first” have been included, to Guild up to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be registered for offer and sale by Guild; and third, and only if all of the securities referred to in the preceding clauses “first” and “second” have been included to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise eligible to be included in such Demand Registration, on a pro rata basis based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by the holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock, up to the number of securities that in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having such adverse effect. Guild shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing and to remain effective until the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days following the date on which it was declared effective and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby are disposed of in accordance with the method or methods of disposition stated therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect any registration to be effected pursuant to this Section 2.1 unless the Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to a Demand Registration represent an aggregate offering price of Registrable Securities that is reasonably expected to equal at least $10,000,000.

Section 2.2 Limitations on Demand Registration Requests. Notwithstanding anything in this Article II to the contrary, Guild shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration, other than a Shelf Registration, (a) within sixty (60) days after the effective date of a previous registration effected with respect to the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or (b) during any period (not to exceed one hundred eighty days (180) days) following the closing of the completion of an offering of securities by Guild if such Demand Registration would cause Guild to breach a “lock-up” or similar provision contained in the underwriting agreement for such offering. Furthermore, Guild shall not be obligated to effect more than four (4) Demand Registrations in any twelve (12)-month period.

Section 2.3 Suspension of Registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Guild it would be materially detrimental to Guild and its stockholders for any Registration Statement to be filed or continued to be used or for any Registration Statement or Prospectus to be amended or supplemented because such filing, continued use, amendment or supplement would (a) require disclosure of material nonpublic information, the disclosure of which would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect Guild and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) materially interfere with any existing or prospective business transaction or negotiation involving Guild, Guild shall have the right to suspend the use of the applicable Registration Statement or delay delivery or filing, but not the preparation, of the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, in each case for a reasonable period of time; provided, however, that Guild shall not be able to exercise such suspension right more than twice in each twelve (12)-month period or for an aggregate of more than one hundred twenty (120) days in any twelve (12)-month period. Guild agrees to notify each Holder promptly upon each of the commencement and termination of each such suspension. Each Holder agrees that, upon any such notice from Guild, it will discontinue any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration until receipt of Guild’s notice as to the termination of any such suspension. Each of the Holders agree to keep the notice of any such suspension confidential and shall not disclose such notice or reasons to any Person other than such Holder’s legal counsel or as required by law. In the event that the ability of the Holders to sell shall be suspended for any reason, the period of such suspension shall not count towards compliance with the ninety (90)-day period referred to in clause (i) of Section 2.1.

Section 2.4 Shelf Registration. At any time after the date hereof when Guild is eligible to register the applicable Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (or a successor form), the MCMI Holder, for so long as it holds any Registrable Securities, or any Affiliates of the MCMI Holder, for so long as they hold any Registrable Securities may request Demand Registrations, and any Holder of Registrable Securities in excess of the product of (x) the maximum number of Registrable Securities that may, as of the date of the applicable demand, be sold under Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act without any restriction as to volume multiplied by (y) two (2) may request Guild to effect a Demand Registration (for purposes of this Section 2.4, whether or not such Holder is the MCMI Holder or an Affiliate of the MCMI Holder) as a Shelf Registration. There shall be no limitations on the number of underwritten offerings pursuant to a Shelf Registration; provided, however, that (i) only the MCMI Holder, for so long as it holds any Registrable Securities, and any Affiliates of the MCMI Holder, for so long as they hold any Registrable Securities, may require Guild to effect an underwritten offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration and (ii) the Holders may not require Guild to effect more than four (4) underwritten offerings in any twelve (12)-month period. Any Holder of Registrable Securities included on a Shelf Registration shall have the right to request that Guild cooperate in a shelf takedown at any time, including, only in the case of the MCMI Holder, for so long as it holds any Registrable Securities, and any Affiliates of the MCMI Holder, for so long as they hold any Registrable Securities, in connection with an underwritten offering, by delivering a written request thereof to Guild specifying the number of shares of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in the shelf takedown. If the takedown is an underwritten offering, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a shelf takedown must represent an aggregate offering price of Registrable Securities that is reasonably expected to equal at least $10,000,000.

Section 2.5 Form. Guild shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Demand Registrations to be registered on Form S-3 (or any successor form), and if Guild is not then eligible under the Securities Act to use Form S-3, Demand Registrations shall be registered on Form S-1 (or any successor form). Guild shall use its reasonable best efforts to become eligible to use Form S-3 and, after becoming eligible to use Form S-3, shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain so eligible.

Article III

Piggy-back Registrations

Section 3.1 Right to Include Registrable Securities. If at any time Guild proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by Guild for security holders of Guild other than any Holder) securities that may include any shares of Class A Common Stock and to file a Registration Statement with respect thereto under the Securities Act, whether or not for sale for its own account (other than (i) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor or similar forms, (ii) in connection with any dividend reinvestment or similar plan or (iii) for the sole purpose of offering securities to another entity or its security holders in connection with the acquisition of assets or securities of such entity or any similar transaction), in a manner that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for resale to the public under

the Securities Act (a “Public Offering”), Guild will at each such time promptly (but in no event less than twenty (20) days prior to the proposed date of filing such Registration Statement) give written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities of (a) its intention to do so, (b) the form of registration statement of the Commission that has been selected by Guild and (c) the rights of Holders under this Article III (the “Article III Notice”). Guild will include in any Public Offering all Registrable Securities that Guild is requested in writing, within fifteen (15) days after the date the Article III Notice is delivered by Guild, to register by the Holders thereof (each, a “Piggy-back Registration”); provided, however, that (i) if, at any time after giving the Article III Notice and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection therewith, Guild shall determine for any reason to abandon such Public Offering, Guild may give written notice of such determination to all Holders who so requested registration, and thereafter Guild shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned Public Offering (without prejudice to the other rights of Holders under this Article III), and (ii) Guild shall be permitted to delay such Public Offering for the same period and under the same circumstances as set forth in Section 2.3. No Piggy-back Registration effected by Guild under this Article III shall relieve Guild of its obligations to effect Demand Registrations under Article II, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.2. Guild’s filing of a Shelf Registration shall not be deemed to be a Public Offering; provided, however, that the proposal to file any Prospectus supplement filed pursuant to a Shelf Registration with respect to an offering of Class A Common Stock for its own account or for the account of any other Persons will be a Public Offering unless such offering qualifies for an exemption from the Public Offering definition in this Section 3.1; provided, further, that if Guild files a Shelf Registration for its own account or for the account of any other Persons, Guild agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration at a later time through the filing of a Prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.

Section 3.2 Priority; Registration Form. If the managing underwriter(s) for a Piggy-back Registration that involves an underwritten offering shall advise Guild in good faith that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be sold for the account of persons other than Guild (collectively, “Selling Stockholders”) is greater than the amount that can be offered without adversely affecting the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be sold for the account of Selling Stockholders (including Holders) may be reduced to a number that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter(s), may reasonably be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above. The reduced number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be registered in such Public Offering shall be allocated in the following priority: first, to shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be registered for offer and sale by Guild; second, to Registrable Securities proposed to be registered by Holders as a Piggy-back Registration, allocated pro rata among such Holders based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; and third, to all other shares of Class A Common stock requested and otherwise eligible to be included in such underwritten offering, on a pro rata basis based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by the holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock, up to the number of securities that in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having such adverse effect. If the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered by Holders as a Piggy-back Registration is

reduced pursuant to this Section 3.2, such Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders participating in the Piggy-back Registration based on the number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the respective Holders. If, as a result of the proration provisions of this Section 3.2, any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Article III that such Holder has requested be included, such Holder may elect to withdraw its Registrable Securities from such registration.

Article IV

Registration Procedures

Section 4.1 Use Reasonable Best Efforts. In connection with Guild’s registration obligations pursuant to Article II and Article III, Guild shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registrations to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof and pursuant thereto Guild shall as promptly as reasonably practicable:

(a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement or Registration Statements relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, and to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as reasonably practicable and to remain continuously effective for the time period required by this Agreement to the extent permitted under the Securities Act;

(i) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with the selling Holders to register or qualify, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of, such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as may be requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement; keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period that the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective under this Agreement; and do any and all other acts or things necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that Guild will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to taxation or general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

(l) subject to Section 4.3, upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 4.1(d)(vi), promptly prepare and file a supplement or post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, and any other required documents, so that such Registration Statement and Prospectus will not thereafter contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and to cause such supplement or post-effective amendment to become effective as promptly as practicable;

(m) take all other actions in connection therewith as are reasonably necessary to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and, in the case of an underwritten offering: (i) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) (such agreement to contain standard and customary indemnities, representations, warranties and other agreements of or from Guild, as the case may be); (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to Guild (which, if reasonably acceptable to the underwriter(s), may be Guild’s inside counsel) addressed to the underwriter(s), such opinions to be in customary form; and (iii) obtain “comfort” letters from Guild’s independent certified public accountants addressed to the underwriter(s), such letters to be in customary form;

(n) with respect to each Guild Free Writing Prospectus or other materials to be included in the Disclosure Package, ensure that no Registrable Securities be sold “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A(b) promulgated under the Securities Act) such Guild Free Writing Prospectus or other materials without the Holders whose Registrable Securities are being registered having first been provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents;

(q) consider in good faith any reasonable request of the selling Holders and underwriters for the participation of management of Guild in “road shows” and similar sales events;

(r) reasonably cooperate with the selling Holders and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel, in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority;

(s) cause all Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which any Class A Common Stock is then listed or quoted; and

(t) take all other customary steps reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

Section 4.2 Holders’ Obligation to Furnish Information. As a condition precedent to any registration hereunder, Guild may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to Guild in writing such information regarding the Holder, the distribution of such Registrable Securities, and other customary certifications and agreements as Guild may from time to time reasonably request (the “Holder Information”). Each such Holder agrees to furnish such Holder Information to Guild and to cooperate with Guild as reasonably necessary to enable Guild to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, Guild will notify in writing each Holder of the Holder Information which Guild is requesting from that Holder whether or not such Holder has elected to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. If, within five (5) days prior to the anticipated filing date, Guild has not received the requested Holder Information from a Holder, then Guild may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of that Holder.

Section 4.3 Suspension of Sales Pending Amendment of Prospectus. Each Holder shall, upon receipt of any notice from Guild of the happening of any event of the kind described in clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 4.1(d), suspend the disposition of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or until it is advised in writing by Guild that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, if so directed by Guild such Holder will deliver to Guild all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of any Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities. If Guild shall have given any such notice during a period when a Demand Registration is in effect, the ninety (90)-day period referred to in clause (i) of Section 2.1 shall be extended by the number of days of such suspension period.

Section 4.4 Other Registration Rights. Guild shall not, without the consent of (x) the MCMI Holder, for so long as it holds any Registrable Securities, and any Affiliates of the MCMI Holder, for so long as they hold any Registrable Securities and (y) Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities, grant to any Persons the right to request Guild to register any equity securities of Guild, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, whether pursuant to “demand,” “piggyback” or other rights, unless such rights are subject and subordinate to the rights of the Holders under this Agreement.

Indemnification

Section 6.1 Indemnification by Guild. In the event of any registration of any securities of Guild under the Securities Act pursuant to Article II or Article III, Guild will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, its directors, officers and agents and each other Person, if any, who controls such selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each such selling Holder and such other Persons, collectively, “Holder Covered Persons”), against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”) actually and as incurred by such Holder Covered Person under the Securities Act, common law or otherwise, to the extent that such Damages (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or result from (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Disclosure Package, any Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary Prospectus, together with the documents incorporated by reference therein (as amended or supplemented if Guild shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof or supplement thereto), if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the Prospectus, together with the documents incorporated by reference therein (as amended or supplemented if Guild shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Guild shall not be liable to any Holder Covered Person in any such case to the extent that any such Damage (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) arises out of or relates to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any such preliminary, final or summary Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Guild by or on behalf of any such Holder Covered Person specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

Section 6.2 Indemnification by the Selling Holders. Each Holder selling Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Article II or Article III will indemnify and hold harmless, severally and not jointly, Guild, its directors, officers and agents and each Person controlling Guild within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, a “Guild Covered Person”) against any and all Damages actually and as incurred by such Guild Covered Person under the Securities Act, common law or otherwise, to the extent that such Damages (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or result from any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from the Disclosure Package, such Registration Statement, any preliminary, final or summary Prospectus contained therein, any Holder Free Writing Prospectus for such Holder or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Guild or its representatives by or on behalf of any selling Holder specifically for use in the preparation of such Disclosure Package, Registration Statement, preliminary, final or summary Prospectus, Holder Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of any Holder hereunder be greater than the net proceeds received by such Holder under the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Guild or any of its directors, officers, agents, or controlling Persons. Guild may require as a condition to its including Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed hereunder that each such selling Holder acknowledge its agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (including this Article VI) applicable to it.

Section 6.3 Notices of Claims. Promptly after receipt by a Holder Covered Person or a Guild Covered Person (each, an “Indemnified Party”) of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Article VI, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against, respectively, Guild, on the one hand, or any selling Holder, on the other hand (such Person or Persons, the “Indemnifying Party”), give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or their obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in accordance with this Section 6.3, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Article VI for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable cost of investigation; provided, further, that if, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim, then such Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ one firm of attorneys at the Indemnifying Party’s expense to represent such Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s

written consent to such judgment or settlement, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

Section 6.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under this Article VI, then each Indemnifying Party shall have a several and not joint obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages referred to in this Article VI in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the offering that resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statements or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount pursuant to this Section 6.4 in excess of the amount by which (a) the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the misstatement or omission relates exceeds, and (b) the amount of any Damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such misstatement or omission. Guild and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6.4 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6.4. The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages referred to in the first sentence of this Section 6.4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim (which shall be limited as provided in Section 6.3 if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any such action in accordance with the provisions thereof) that is the subject of this Section 6.4. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 6.4 of notice of the commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against an Indemnifying Party under this Section 6.4, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof if the notice specified in Section 6.3 has not been given with respect to such action; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or their obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party.

Article VII

Rule 144

Section 7.1 Rule 144. Guild shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, so long as it is subject to such reporting requirements, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limits of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). Upon the request of a Holder, Guild shall deliver to such Holder a written statement stating whether it has complied with such requirements and will take such further action as such Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limits of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

Article VIII

Underwritten Registrations

In each registration under Article II, the underwriter or underwriters and managing underwriter or managing underwriters that will administer the offering shall be selected by the MCMI Holder (or any Affiliate thereof designated thereby that holds Registrable Securities); provided, however, such managing underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to Guild. In each registration under Article III, the underwriter or underwriters and managing underwriter or managing underwriters that will administer the offering shall be selected by Guild.

Section 8.2 Agreements of Selling Holders. No Holder shall sell any of its Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration hereunder, unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Registrable Securities on a basis provided in any underwriting agreement in customary form, including the making of customary representations, warranties and indemnities and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting agreements or as reasonably requested by Guild (whether or not such offering is underwritten).

Article IX

Holdback Agreements

Section 9.1 Restrictions on Public Sales by Holders. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each Holder that is timely notified in writing by the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) shall not effect any public sale or distribution (including a sale pursuant to Rule 144) of any securities of Guild of the same class or series being registered in an underwritten offering (other than pursuant to an employee stock option, stock purchase, stock bonus or similar plan, or pursuant to a merger, exchange offer or transaction of the type specified in Rule 145(a) under the Securities Act) or any securities of Guild convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for securities of the same class or series, during the seven (7)-day period prior to the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, if such date is known, or during the period beginning on such effective date and ending either (a) sixty (60) days after such effective date (except as part of such underwritten offering or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or S-4 or any successor forms thereto) or (b) any such earlier date as may be requested by the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) of such registration.
