(b) Guarantor waives any defense to its obligations hereunder based upon or arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of any Obligor or any other Person; (ii) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of the Obligations or the indebtedness of any other Person; (iii) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or any other Person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any Obligor, if it is a corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of any Obligor; (iv) the application by any Obligor of the proceeds of any Obligations for purposes other than the purposes represented by such Obligor to, or intended or understood by, WFBC or Guarantor; (v) any act or omission by WFBC which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any Obligor or any portion of the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of WFBC against any Obligor; (vi) any impairment of the value of any interest in any security for the Obligations or any portion thereof, including without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without substitution, or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; (vii) any modification of the Obligations, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation hereof to any Obligations incurred prior to such revocation, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, the Obligations or any portion thereof; or (viii) any requirement that WFBC give any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty. Until all Obligations have been paid in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which WFBC now has or may hereafter have against any Obligor or any other Person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by WFBC. Guarantor further waives all rights and defenses Guarantor may have arising out of (A) any election of remedies by WFBC, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Obligations, destroys Guarantor’s rights of subrogation or Guarantor’s rights to proceed against any Obligor for reimbursement, or (B) any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of any Obligor in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging the Obligations, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including any rights Guarantor may have to a fair market value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any foreclosure sale or other disposition of any real property security for any portion of the Obligations.
Deferral of Guarantors’ rights Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Credit Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Section 15:
(i) to be indemnified by a Credit Party;
(ii) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Credit Party’s obligations under the Credit Documents;
(iii) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Lender Creditors under the Credit Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Credit Documents by any Lender Creditor;
(iv) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Credit Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Section 15.01;
(v) to exercise any right of set-off against any Credit Party; and/or
(vi) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Credit Party in competition with any Lender Creditor. If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Lender Creditors by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Lender Creditors and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Section 4.

Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.
