To the extent that any provision of the Notes Documents further limits any actions required to be taken with respect to any guarantee or property, no provision hereof shall be interpreted to expand such requirements or require the taking of such actions. (b) The Agreed Security Principles embody a recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective or commercially reasonable guarantees and/or security from all relevant Guarantors (which term, as used herein, shall include the Issuers when referring to actions with respect to collateral or Security Documents otherwise subject hereto) in each jurisdiction in which it has been agreed that guarantees and security will be granted.
