In addition to the foregoing, the Junior Noteholders hereby acknowledge that the Junior Indentures and the Junior Noteholder Documents permit the Company and the other Grantors to repay Senior Claims with Proceeds from the disposition of the Common Collateral prior to application to repay the Junior Noteholders Claims, and agree that to the extent the Senior Lender Documents or the Senior Noteholder Documents require repayment of the Senior Claims with Proceeds from such dispositions, the Company shall pay such Proceeds to the Senior Creditors as so required and each of the Junior Trustees, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents and the Junior Noteholders will not take or receive such Proceeds until after so applied.

In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Common Collateral, the First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Senior Trustee, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Senior Noteholders may enforce the provisions of the Senior Lender Documents or the Senior Noteholder Documents, as applicable, and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Collateral upon foreclosure, to cause the Grantors to deliver a transfer document in lieu of foreclosure to the Senior Lenders or any nominee of the Senior Lenders or the Senior Noteholders or any nominee of the Senior Noteholders, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a mortgagee in any applicable jurisdiction and a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code or other laws of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction. The Junior Trustees and the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents for themselves and on behalf of the Junior Noteholders, hereby waive any and all rights they or the Junior Noteholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Senior Trustee, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Senior Noteholders, seek to enforce or collect the Senior Claims or the Liens granted in any of the Common Collateral in respect of Senior Claims, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Senior Trustee, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Senior Noteholders is adverse to the interest of the Junior Noteholders. The Junior Trustees and the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents, for themselves and on behalf of the Junior Noteholders, waive the right to commence any legal action or assert in any legal action or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any claim against the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, the Senior Noteholders and/or Senior Lenders seeking damages from the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, Senior Noteholders or the Senior Lenders or other relief, by way of specific performance, injunction or otherwise, with respect to any action taken or omitted by the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, Senior Noteholders or the Senior Lenders as permitted by this Agreement.

          (d) The Junior Trustees and the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents hereby acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Junior Noteholder Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Senior Trustee, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Senior Noteholders with respect to the Common Collateral as set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Lender Documents and the Senior Noteholder Documents, to the extent consistent with this Agreement.

          (b) Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Claims has occurred, without the prior written consent of the First-Lien Administrative Agent and the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent, no Junior Noteholder Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Junior Noteholder Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.

          (c) In the event that the First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Senior Trustee, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Senior Noteholders enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or any Senior Noteholder Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Senior Trustee, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Senior Noteholders, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Junior Noteholder Collateral Document without the consent of the Junior Trustees, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents or the Junior Noteholders and without any action by the Junior Trustees, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents, the Company or any other Grantor; provided that the consent of the Junior Noteholders shall be required only in the circumstance that an amendment to the Senior Collateral Documents and/or the Senior Noteholder Collateral Documents, as applicable, is prejudicial to the interests of the Junior Noteholders to a greater extent than it is to the interests of the Senior Creditors (other than by virtue of their relative priorities and rights and obligations, and subject to increases in principal, interest or fees of the Senior Creditors to the extent permitted in this Agreement). The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Junior Trustees and Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents of such amendment(s) but the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the application, validity or enforceability of such amendment(s).

          5.8 Collateral Agents; Collateral Documents.

          (a) Pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent shall act as collateral agent for the Senior Lenders, the Senior Noteholders and the Junior Noteholders with respect to Liens granted on real property located in the Mortgage Tax States (that is Initial Mortgaged Collateral or Additional Mortgaged Collateral) as determined in accordance with Section 5.8(c) below (the “Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral”). For the avoidance of doubt, such Liens may be created by modifying the security instruments creating the Liens on the existing Senior Mortgage Tax Collateral.

          (b) With respect to any and all Junior Noteholder Collateral other than the Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents shall act as collateral agents on behalf of the applicable Junior Noteholders. The Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents shall separately document their respective Lien(s) on any and all Junior Noteholder Collateral other than Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral.

          (c) Determination of Status of Mortgage Tax State Collateral; Reliance by Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent. The determination of whether Liens to be granted on Initial Mortgaged Collateral and Additional Mortgaged Collateral would constitute Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral under the Credit Agreement shall be made by the Company and the First-Lien Administrative Agent (or the Company after the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims) in the reasonable exercise of each of their discretion, and the First-Lien Administrative Agent (or the Company) shall so notify the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent in a written certificate of such determination with, as applicable, a copy of such certificate to be contemporaneously provided to the Company. The Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for determining the status of any Collateral as Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral and shall be entitled to rely on such certificate(s) of the First-Lien Administrative Agent (or the Company) identifying that any Collateral constitutes Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral and shall be under no obligation to treat any Collateral not so identified as Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral. Upon receipt of such certificate(s) from the First-Lien Administrative Agent identifying any Collateral as Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral, the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent shall be entitled to treat such Collateral as Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral for all purposes under this Agreement. Any designation by the First-Lien Administrative Agent (or the Company) that any Collateral is Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral shall be, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(a) hereof, irrevocable. Any such certificates shall be full warrant to the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereof.

          (a) In the event of any release of the Liens on the Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral in respect of Senior Claims in accordance with the Senior Collateral Documents and

the Senior Noteholder Collateral Documents, the Junior Trustees and the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents, for themselves and on behalf of the Junior Noteholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent or the applicable Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent or such Grantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such release in connection with a release pursuant to Section 5.1.

          (b) Proceeds of the Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral shall be applied as set forth in Section 4.1 so long as the Discharge of Senior Claims has not occurred. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Claims has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a) and Section 6.3, the sole right of the Junior Noteholders with respect to the Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral is to hold a shared Lien on the Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral in respect of Junior Noteholder Claims pursuant to the Junior Noteholder Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of the Senior Claims has occurred.

          (c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 3.1 and 4.1, until the Discharge of Senior Claims has occurred, the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Lender Documents as if the Liens under the Junior Noteholder Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Trustees, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents and the Junior Noteholders with respect to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

          (d) The Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Junior Trustees, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents or any Junior Noteholder to assure that the Junior Mortgage Tax Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.9.

          (e) Neither the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, the First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Senior Trustee, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent nor any of the Senior Noteholders shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations to the Senior Credit Agent or the Senior Lenders under the Senior Credit Agreement or the Senior Collateral Documents or to the Senior Trustee or the Senior Noteholders under the Senior Indenture or the Senior Noteholder Collateral Documents or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

          5.10 No Fiduciary Duty. The Junior Trustees and the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents agree, on behalf of themselves and the Junior Noteholders, that the Senior Lenders, the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, the First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Senior Trustee, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Senior Noteholders shall not have by reason of the Junior Noteholder Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Junior Trustee, any Junior Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Junior Noteholder.

          5.11 Increases in the Principal Amount of the Senior Claims Indebtedness or Junior Noteholder Claims. The Junior Noteholders may not increase the stated principal amount of the Junior Noteholder Claims above $700 million hereof without the consent the Required Lenders (but in any event not more than 66 and 2/3%); provided that no consent is required after Discharge of Senior Lender Claims. The Senior Creditors may not increase the stated principal amount of the Senior Claims (exclusive of any increases to the amounts permitted in the definition of First-Lien Indebtedness) without the consent of the Junior Noteholders holding, at least, 51% in amount of the Junior Noteholder Claims.

          (b) The Junior Trustees, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents and the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, on behalf of themselves and the Junior Noteholders, agree that they will not raise any objection to or oppose a sale of or other disposition of any Common Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior Creditors have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets so long as the interests of the Junior Trustees, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents and the Junior Noteholders in the Common Collateral attach to the Proceeds in the relative priority scheme set forth in Section 2.1 and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

          6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Claims has occurred, the Junior Trustees, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents and the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, on behalf of themselves and the Junior Noteholders, agree that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation

Proceeding in respect of the Common Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First-Lien Administrative Agent and the Senior Trustee.

          6.3 Adequate Protection. The Junior Trustees, the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents and the Mortgage Tax Collateral Agent, on behalf of themselves and the Junior Noteholders, agree that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Senior Trustee or the Senior Noteholders for adequate protection or (b) any objection by First-Lien Administrative Agent, the Senior Credit Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Senior Trustee, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Senior Noteholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on First-Lien Administrative Agent’s, the Senior Credit Agent’s, the Senior Lenders’, the Senior Trustee’s, the Senior Noteholder Collateral Agent’s or the Senior Noteholders’ claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) the Junior Trustees on behalf of themselves and the Junior Noteholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on additional collateral, provided that the Senior Creditors are granted a Lien on such additional collateral before or at the same time the Junior Noteholders are granted a Lien on such collateral and that such Lien shall be subordinated to the Liens of the Senior Creditors and any DIP Financing permitted under Section 6.1 (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Noteholder Claims are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness under this Agreement and (ii) in the event that any Junior Trustee, on behalf of itself or any Junior Noteholder, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral securing the Junior Noteholder Claims, such Liens shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Creditors as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Noteholder Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing the Senior Claims under this Agreement and such additional collateral shall be included in and be part of the Common Collateral. Except as provided in this Section, the Junior Trustees, and the Junior Noteholder Collateral Agents, on behalf of themselves and the Junior Noteholders, further agree that they will not seek or accept any payments of adequate protection or any payments under Bankruptcy Code Section 362(d)(3)(B).

Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Senior Credit Agent, any Senior Lender, the Senior Trustee or any Senior Noteholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any of the Junior Trustees or any of the Junior Noteholders, including the seeking by any Junior Trustee or any Junior Noteholder of adequate protection or the asserting by any Junior Trustee or any Junior Noteholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Noteholder Documents or otherwise. In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither any Junior Trustee nor any Junior Noteholder shall vote any Junior Noteholder Claim in favor of any plan of reorganization (of any Grantor) unless (i) such plan provides for payment in full of the Senior Indebtedness, (ii) such plan provides for the treatment of the Senior Claims in a manner that preserves the relative lien priority of the Senior Claims over the Junior Noteholder Claims to at least the same extent as set forth in this Agreement or (iii) such plan is approved by the Senior Creditors.

          6.5 Preference Issues; Recovery. If any Senior Creditor is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount, whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise (a “Recovery”), then the Senior Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to a Discharge of Senior Claims with respect to all such recovered amounts.

          6.7 Application. This Agreement shall be applicable and the terms hereof shall survive and shall continue in full force and effect prior to or after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
