NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as follows:

SECTION 1

(b) Any terms used in this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 3) that are defined in the UCC and pertain to Collateral shall be construed and defined as set forth in the UCC, unless otherwise defined herein.

“Co-Issuer Obligations” means all Obligations owed by theCo-Issuers to the Secured Parties under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

“Other Currency” has the meaning assigned to such term inSection 8.12.

“Termination Date” has the meaning assigned to such term inSection 2.1(d).

(d) The rules of construction set forth inSection 1.4 of the Base Indenture shall apply for all purposes under this Agreement.

SECTION 2

GUARANTEE

2.1 Guarantee.

(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment and performance by theCo-Issuers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, but after giving effect to all applicable grace or cure periods) of theCo-Issuer Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Trustee or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of anyCo-Issuer to pay anyCo-Issuer Obligation when and as the same shall become due, but after giving effect to all applicable grace or cure periods, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby jointly

and severally promises to and shall forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Trustee for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in accordance with the Indenture, in cash, the amount of such unpaidCo-Issuer Obligations. This is a guarantee of payment and not merely of collection.

(b) Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that theCo-Issuer Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in thisSection 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Trustee or any other Secured Party hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in thisSection 2 shall remain in full force and effect until the date (the “Termination Date”) on which this Agreement ceases to be of further effect in accordance withArticle XII of the Base Indenture, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto theCo-Issuers may be free from anyCo-Issuer Obligations.

(e) No payment made by any of theCo-Issuers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Trustee or any other Secured Party from any of theCo-Issuers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or anyset-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of theCo-Issuer Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of theCo-Issuer Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of theCo-Issuer Obligations), remain liable hereunder for theCo-Issuer Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Termination Date.

2.2 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Trustee or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any other Secured Party against the Co-Issuers or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Co-Issuer Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Co-Issuers or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until the Termination Date. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights at any time when all of the Co-Issuer Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Co-Issuer Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Trustee may determine in accordance with the Indenture.

2.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to theCo-Issuer Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of theCo-Issuer Obligations made by the Trustee or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Trustee or such other Secured Party and any of theCo-Issuer Obligations continued, and theCo-Issuer Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Trustee or any other Secured Party, and the Base Indenture and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Trustee or any other Secured Party for the payment of theCo-Issuer Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released (it being understood that thisSection 2.3 is not intended to affect any rights or obligations set forth in any other Transaction Document).

2.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of theCo-Issuer Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Trustee or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in thisSection 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in thisSection 2; theCo-Issuer Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in thisSection 2 and the grant of the security interests pursuant toSection 3; and all dealings between theCo-Issuers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Trustee and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have occurred or been consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in thisSection 2 and the grant of the security interests pursuant toSection 3. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of theCo-Issuers or any of the Guarantors with respect to theCo-Issuer Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in thisSection 2 and the grant of the security interests pursuant toSection 3 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, any of theCo-Issuer Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Trustee or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense,set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of full payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by anyCo-Issuer or any other Person against the Trustee or any other Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of theCo-Issuers or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of theCo-Issuers for theCo-Issuer Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in thisSection 2 and the grant of the security interests pursuant toSection 3, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Trustee or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against anyCo-Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for theCo-Issuer Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Trustee or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or

to collect any payments from anyCo-Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of anyCo-Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Trustee or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. Neither the Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for theCo-Issuer Obligations or for the guarantee contained in thisSection 2 or any property subject thereto. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.5 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in thisSection 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of theCo-Issuer Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Trustee or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any of theCo-Issuers or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any of theCo-Issuers or any Guarantor or any substantial part of their respective property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.6 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder shall be paid to the Trustee withoutset-off or deduction or counterclaim in immediately available funds in Dollars at the office of the Trustee.

2.7 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of theCo-Issuers’ and each other Guarantor’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of theCo-Issuer Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(b) The grant of the security interest by the Guarantors in the Collateral to the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder shall not (i) relieve any Guarantor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Guarantor’s part to be performed or observed under or in connection with any of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party or (ii) impose any obligation on the Trustee or any of the Secured Parties to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on any Guarantor’s part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on the Trustee or any of the other Secured Parties for any act or omission on the part of such Guarantor or from any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Guarantor.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each Secured Party (including its respective directors, officers, employees and agents) from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable and documentedout-of-pocket costs and expenses arising out of or resulting from the security interest granted hereby, whether arising by virtue of any act or omission on the part of such Guarantor or otherwise, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documentedout-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Secured Party in enforcing this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or preserving any of its rights to, or realizing upon, any of the Collateral;provided,however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not extend to any action by the Trustee or any other Secured Party which constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Trustee or any Secured Party

or any other indemnified person hereunder. The indemnification provided for in thisSection 3.2 shall survive the removal of, or a resignation by, such Person as Trustee as well as the termination of this Agreement. No amounts shall be required to be paid under thisSection 3.2(c) in duplication of amounts paid underSection 3.2(c) of the Base Indenture.

3.3 Performance of Collateral Documents. Upon the occurrence of a default or breach (after giving effect to any applicable grace or cure periods) by any Person party to (a) a Collateral Transaction Document to which a Guarantor is a party or (b) a Collateral Franchise Document to which a Guarantor is a party (only if a Manager Termination Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), promptly following a request from the Trustee to do so and at such Guarantors’ expense, each such Guarantor shall take all such lawful action as permitted under this Agreement as the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)) may reasonably request to compel or secure the performance and observance by such Person of its obligations to such Guarantor, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to such Guarantor to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)), including, without limitation, the transmission of notices of default and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by such Person of its obligations thereunder. If (i) a Guarantor shall have failed, within fifteen (15) Business Days of receiving the direction of the Trustee, to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the Trustee, (ii) a Guarantor refuses to take any such action, as reasonably determined by the Trustee in good faith, or (iii) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately, in any such case the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may, but shall not be obligated to, take, and the Trustee shall take (if so directed by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)), at the expense of the Guarantors, such previously directed action and any related action permitted under this Agreement which the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) thereafter determines is appropriate (without the need under this provision or any other provision under this Agreement to direct such Guarantor to take such action), on behalf of such Guarantor and the Secured Parties. No amounts shall be required to be paid under thisSection 3.3 in duplication of amounts paid underSection 3.3 of the Base Indenture.

3.4 Stamp, Other Similar Taxes and Filing Fees. The Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each other Secured Party from any present or future claim for liability for any stamp, documentary or other similar tax, and any penalties or interest and expenses with respect thereto, that may be assessed, levied or collected by any jurisdiction in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Collateral. The Guarantors shall pay, and jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party against, any and all amounts in respect of all search, filing, recording and registration fees, taxes, excise taxes and other similar imposts that may be payable or determined to be payable in respect of the execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. No amounts shall be required to be paid under thisSection 3.4 in duplication of amounts paid under Section 3.4 of the Base Indenture.

3.5 Authorization to File Financing Statements; Other Filing and Recording Documents.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Control Party on behalf of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file or record in any filing office in any applicable jurisdiction financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments (or, with respect to the Mortgages, upon the occurrence of a Mortgage Recordation Event, unless such Mortgage Recordation Event is waived by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)) with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all Securitization IP (to the extent set forth inSections 8.25(c) and8.25(e) of the Base Indenture), to perfect the security interests of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Agreement. Each Guarantor authorizes the filing of any such financing statement naming the Trustee as secured party and indicating that the Collateral includes (a) “all assets” or words of similar effect or import regardless of whether any particular assets comprised in the Collateral fall within the scope ofArticle 9 of the UCC, including, without limitation, any and all Securitization IP or (b) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. Each Guarantor agrees to furnish any information necessary to accomplish the foregoing promptly upon the Control Party’s request. Each Guarantor also hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by or on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Collateral may include certain rights of such Guarantor as a secured party under the Transaction Documents. To the extent a Guarantor is a secured party under the Transaction Documents, such Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its representative with respect to all financing statements filed to perfect or record evidence of such security interests and authorizes the Control Party on behalf of the Secured Parties to make such filings as it deems necessary to reflect the Trustee as secured party of record with respect to such financing statements.

Except as set forth onSchedule 7.13 of the Base Indenture, the Guarantors have received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Collateral to the pledge of the Collateral to the Trustee hereunder and the Guarantors have filed, or shall have caused, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral (other than the Contributed Owned Real Property and the New Owned Real Property) granted to the Trustee hereunder no later than ten (10) days after the Closing Date or such Series Closing Date;provided, that with respect to Intellectual Property or Real Estate Assets included in the Collateral the Guarantors shall only take such action necessary to perfect such first-priority security interest consistent with and subject to the obligations and time periods set forth inSections 8.25(c),8.25(e), or8.37 of the Base Indenture, as applicable.

(c) All authorizations in this Agreement for the Trustee to endorse checks, instruments and securities and to execute financing statements, continuation statements, security agreements and other instruments with respect to the Collateral and to take such other actions with respect to the Collateral authorized by this Agreement are powers coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

The Control Party is hereby authorized to execute and file any financing statements, continuation statements, amendments or other instruments necessary or appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral.

In case any Guarantor shall fail forthwith to pay any amounts due on this Guarantee upon demand, the Trustee at the direction of the Control Party (subject toSection 11.4(e) of the Base Indenture, at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against any Guarantor and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of any Guarantor, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(b) Other Proceedings. If and whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (subject toSection 11.4(e) of the Base Indenture, at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), shall take one or more of the following actions:

(i) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in aid of the exercise of any power granted therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or by law, including any remedies of a secured party under Requirements of Law;

(ii) (A) direct the Guarantors to exercise (and each Guarantor agrees to exercise) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of any Guarantor against any party to any Collateral Document to which such Guarantor is a party arising as a result of the occurrence of such Event of Default or otherwise, including the right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by any such party of its obligations to any Guarantor, and any right of any Guarantor to take such action independent of such direction shall be suspended, and (B) if (x) the Guarantors shall have failed, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the direction of the Trustee (given at the

direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)), to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the Trustee, (y) any Guarantor refuses to take such action or (z) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately, take (or the Control Party on behalf of the Trustee shall take) such previously directed action (and any related action as permitted under this Agreement thereafter determined by the Trustee or the Control Party to be appropriate without the need under this provision or any other provision under this Agreement to direct the Guarantors to take such action);

(iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Agreement or, to the extent applicable, any other Transaction Document, with respect to the Collateral;provided that the Trustee shall not be required to take title to any real property in connection with any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies hereunder or under such Transaction Documents and title to such property shall instead be acquired in an entity designated and (unless owned by a third party) controlled by the Control Party; and/or

6.3 Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, the liability of the Guarantors to the Noteholders and any other Secured Parties under or in relation to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, is limited in recourse to the Collateral. The proceeds of the Collateral having been applied in accordance with the terms hereof, none of the Noteholders or any other Secured Parties shall be entitled to take any further steps against any Guarantor to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other agreements or documents described in thisSection 6.3, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished.

6.4 Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the maturity of the Outstanding Notes of each Series has been accelerated pursuant toSection 9.2 of the Base Indenture following an Event of Default, and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), shall elect to maintain possession of such portion, if any, of the Collateral as the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall in its discretion determine.

(a) such direction of time, method and place shall not be in conflict with any rule of law, the Servicing Standard, the Indenture or this Agreement;

(b) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may take any other action deemed proper by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) that is not inconsistent with such direction (as the same may be modified by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)); and

provided,further, that, subject toSection 10.1 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability unless it has received an indemnity for such liability as provided in the Base Indenture. The Trustee shall take no action referred to in thisSection 6.5 unless instructed to do so by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative).

6.6 The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Noteholders and any other Secured Party (as applicable) allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders or any other Secured Party, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee underSection 10.5 of the Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee underSection 10.5 of the Base Indenture out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money and other properties which any of the Noteholders or any other Secured Party may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party in any such proceeding.

6.7 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. ThisSection 6.7 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Noteholder pursuant toSection 9.9 of the Base Indenture or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all Series of Notes.

6.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee, any Noteholder or any other Secured Party has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder or other Secured Party, then and in every such case the Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former

positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

6.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

6.10 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, any Holder of any Note or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by thisSection 6 or by law to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party may be exercised from time to time to the extent not inconsistent with the Indenture or this Agreement, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party, as the case may be.

6.11 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantages of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 7
