Waiver by Guarantor Each Guarantor hereby waives (a) any right of redemption with respect to any collateral after the sale thereof (except as shall be required by any Requirement of Law that cannot be waived), and all rights, if any, of marshalling of collateral or security for the Guaranteed Obligations and (b) any right (except as shall be required by any Requirement of Law that cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Party to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (iii) pursue any remedy in any Guaranteed Party’s power whatsoever. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the terms of this Guaranty Agreement shall control in any and all circumstances, any of the foregoing waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under any Requirement of Law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent not prohibited by any Requirement of Law. Each Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, including any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or the enforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by a Guaranteed Party, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the Borrower.

Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder's Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
