<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Guarantee, dated as of April&nbsp;18, 2008, by Residential Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (&#147;<U>Guarantor</U>&#148;), in favor of GMAC LLC, as lender pursuant to the Loan
Agreement defined below (the &#147;<U>Guaranteed Party</U>&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>1.&nbsp;Unconditional Guarantee</B>. To induce the Guaranteed Party to enter into a Loan and Security
Agreement, dated as of April&nbsp;18, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the &#147;<U>Loan Agreement</U>&#148;), with Guarantor&#146;s affiliates Residential Funding Company, LLC
(&#147;<U>RFC</U>&#148;), and GMAC Mortgage, LLC (&#147;<U>GMAC Mortgage</U>&#148; and together with RFC and
including any surviving entity in the event of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the same,
each, an &#147;<U>Obligor</U>&#148; and collectively, the &#147;<U>Obligors</U>&#148;), the Guarantor absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Guaranteed Party and its successors and permitted
assigns from the date hereof the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), of all existing and future obligations of the
Obligor to the Guaranteed Party arising pursuant to Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms,
being collectively called the &#147;<U>Obligations</U>&#148;), when the same shall be required to be
performed or observed under the Loan Documents (subject to any applicable grace period with respect
to such Obligations set forth in the Loan Documents); and the Guarantor unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees that it shall ensure an Obligor, the Guarantor or some other Person shall duly
and punctually perform and observe each Obligation (provided that acceptance of any such other
Person&#146;s performance shall not constitute a novation of this Guarantee). It shall not be a
condition to the obligation of the Guarantor hereunder to guarantee and ensure the performance or
observance of any of the Obligations that the Guaranteed Party shall have first made any request of
or demand upon or given any notice to the Guarantor or any other Person or have instituted any
action or proceeding against the Guarantor or any other Person in respect thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>2.&nbsp;DEFINITIONS</B>. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guarantee shall have the meanings
set forth in the Loan Agreement.

arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority, in each case applicable to or binding upon
such Person or any of its property or to which such Person or any of its property is subject.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>3.&nbsp;Nature of Guarantee</B>. Guarantor&#146;s obligations hereunder are unconditional and shall not be

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">collateral, the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loan Documents, the absence of any
action to enforce an Obligor&#146;s obligations under any of the Loan Documents, any waiver or consent
by an Obligor with respect to any provisions of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or by
any other circumstance relating to the Obligations that might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of or defense to this Guarantee (excluding the defense of payment or statute of
limitations, neither of which is waived). This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collections, and Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Party may resort to Guarantor for performance
of any of the Obligations owed to it whether or not the Guaranteed Party shall have resorted to any
Collateral therefor or shall have proceeded against either Obligor principally or secondarily
liable for any of the Obligations, including the Obligors, and whether or not the Guaranteed Party
has pursued any other remedy available to it. The Guaranteed Party shall not be obligated to file
any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that an Obligor becomes subject to a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Guaranteed Party to so file shall not
affect Guarantor&#146;s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Guaranteed Party in
respect of any Obligations owed to it is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason
whatsoever (other than by reason of any circumstance, other than bankruptcy or insolvency, that
constitutes a legal or equitable defense available to an Obligor), Guarantor shall remain liable
hereunder with respect to such Obligations as if such payment had not been made and the Guarantee
shall be reinstated, if applicable. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
the Guaranteed Party, and at the sole expense of Guarantor, Guarantor will furnish such information
regarding the financial well-being of Guarantor as may be reasonably requested by the Guaranteed
Party.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>4.&nbsp;Changes in Obligations, Collateral therefor and Agreements Relating Thereto; Waiver of Certain
Notices</B>. Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Party may at any time and from time to time, either
before or after the maturity thereof, with notice to and consent of the Guarantor, extend the time
of payment of, exchange or surrender any Collateral (except as permitted by the Loan Agreement)
for, or renew any of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with the Obligors for the
extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for
any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Guaranteed Party and the
Obligors without in any way impairing or affecting this Guarantee. Guarantor authorizes the
Guaranteed Party, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time
to time, to forbear, indulge or take other action or inaction in respect of this Guarantee or the
Obligations, or to exercise or not exercise any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise with respect
to the Obligations. Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of Obligations, presentment, demand for payment,
non-payment, notice of dishonor and protest.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>5.&nbsp;Expenses</B>. Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all fees and out of pocket expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of the Guaranteed Party&#146;s counsel) in any way relating to the
enforcement or protection of the rights of the Guaranteed Party hereunder; provided, that Guarantor
shall not be liable for any expenses of the Guaranteed Party if no payment under this Guarantee is
or was due.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>6.&nbsp;Subrogation</B>. The Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which it may have or acquire by way of
subrogation until all of the Obligations owed to it are paid in full to the Guaranteed Party. If
any amounts are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Party and
shall forthwith be paid to the Guaranteed Party to reduce the amount of outstanding Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured. Subject to the foregoing, upon payment of any of the Obligations,
Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Guaranteed Party against the Obligors with
respect to such Obligations, and the Guaranteed Party agrees to take at Guarantor&#146;s expense such
steps as Guarantor may reasonably request to implement such subrogation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>7.&nbsp;Taxes</B>. All payments by the Guarantor hereunder will be made in full without set- off or
counterclaim and free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any
present or future taxes, duties or other charges, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes
or duties is required by law. In any such event, however, the Guarantor shall (a)&nbsp;promptly notify
the Guaranteed Party, in writing, of such requirement, (b)&nbsp;pay to the relevant authorities the full
amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or
withheld from any additional amount paid to the Guaranteed Party pursuant to this paragraph), (c)
promptly forward to the Guaranteed Party an official receipt (or a certified copy) evidencing such
payment, and (d)&nbsp;pay to the Guaranteed Party such additional amounts as may be necessary in order
that the net amount received by the Guaranteed Party after such withholding or deduction shall
equal the full amounts of moneys which would have been received by the Guaranteed Party in the
absence of such withholding or deduction. The Guarantor will pay all stamp, transfer, registration,
documentation, or other similar taxes payable in connection with this Guarantee and will keep the
Guaranteed Party indemnified against failure to pay the same.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>8.&nbsp;No Waiver; Cumulative Rights</B>. No failure on the part of the Guaranteed Party to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise by the Guaranteed Party of any right, remedy or power
hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every
right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Guaranteed Party or allowed it by law or other
agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the
Guaranteed Party at any time or from time to time. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and
effect until the Obligations are paid in full. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee
may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and no consent with respect to any
departure by the Guarantor from the terms hereof shall be effective, except as set forth in a
written instrument executed by the Guarantor and the Guaranteed Party.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>9.&nbsp;Payments </B>The Guarantor hereby guarantees that the Obligations will be paid to the
Guaranteed Party without set off or counterclaim, in lawful currency of the United States of
America at the offices of the Guaranteed Party specified by the Guaranteed Party for such payment.
The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or
recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency except to the extent
to which such tender or recovery shall result in the effective receipt by the Guaranteed Party of
the full amount of the currency or currencies owing under this Guarantee and the Guarantor shall
indemnify the Guaranteed Party (as an alternative or additional cause of action) for the amount (if
any) by which such effective receipt shall fall short of the full amount of currency or currencies
owning under this Guarantee and such obligation to indemnify shall not be affected by judgment
being obtained for any other sums due hereunder.
