2.3

Payments and Prepayments

(a)

Pro Rata Payment of Senior Debt Obligations

(A)

subject to the requirements of any Senior Debt Instrument, any Senior Creditor may by written notice to the Security Trustee and the other Senior Creditor Group Representatives waive its right to a Pro Rata Payment hereunder; and

(B)

if a Senior Debt Instrument expressly states that no pro rata payment thereunder shall be required in respect of a specified mandatory or voluntary prepayment (or type of pro rata prepayment) made under other Senior Debt Instruments, then no such pro rata payment shall be required hereby (subject to compliance with any conditions established by the Senior Debt Instrument waiving the right to a pro rata prepayment in such circumstances).

-4-

For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time at which any Senior Debt Obligations are due and payable to the Senior Creditors there are insufficient funds to discharge all the amounts then due and payable to the Senior Creditors in accordance with Section 4.7 (Cash Waterfall) or Section 4.8 (Accounts During the Continuance of a Declared Event of Default), as applicable, each Senior Creditor shall receive a Pro Rata Payment, to be applied in accordance with clause (d) (Partial Payments) below.

(ii)

Notwithstanding sub-clause (i) above:

(A)

except as provided in any individual Senior Debt Instrument with respect to the Senior Creditors under that Senior Debt Instrument, only the following mandatory prepayments shall be applied pro rata across all Senior Debt, other than any Working Capital Debt (except in the case of sub-clauses (2) and (3) below) and Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument:

(1)

mandatory prepayments with Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds as described in, and subject to the requirements of, Section 5.2 (Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds);

(2)

a mandatory prepayment triggered by an LNG SPA Prepayment Event as described in, and subject to the requirements of, Section 3.4(a)(iv) (Mandatory Prepayments – LNG SPA Payment Events) and Section 8.2 (LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment) of the Common Terms Agreement (and any comparable provision in any other Senior Debt Instrument then in effect); or

(3)

a mandatory prepayment pursuant to a mandatory prepayment offer following the occurrence of a Change of Control;

-5-

(B)

no pro rata prepayment of Senior Notes is required to be made in the event that any Loans are voluntarily paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Senior Debt Instrument (including, to the extent applicable, Section 3.5 (Voluntary Prepayments) of the Common Terms Agreement and any comparable provision in any other Senior Debt Instrument then in effect with respect to Loans);

(C)

no pro rata prepayment of any Senior Debt is required to be made in the event that any voluntary or optional prepayment of Senior Debt under an individual Senior Debt Instrument or Permitted Hedging Instrument is made to only certain affected Senior Creditors thereunder or only Senior Creditors under such affected Senior Debt Instruments or Permitted Hedging Instruments as a result of the applicability of yield protection provisions, increased cost provisions or additional amounts relating to Taxes, Defaulting Lender, Non-Consenting Lender or similar provisions, including, in each case, such provisions as described in Section 3.2 (Right of Repayment and Cancellation in Relation to a Single Facility Lender) or Section 19.5 (Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders) of the Common Terms Agreement and any comparable provision of any other Senior Debt Instrument or Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument then in effect; provided that such prepayment is made using (x) the proceeds of Replacement Senior Debt or (y) cash available at the ninth level of the cash waterfall in accordance with Section 4.7(a)(ix) (Cash Waterfall);

(D)

each of the payments of Breakage Costs and other similar amounts required to be paid pursuant to an individual Senior Debt Instrument only (as referred to in Section 3.6 (Prepayment Fees and Breakage Costs) of the Common Terms Agreement and any comparable provision of any other Senior Debt Instrument then in effect) and including any cash collateralization of letters of credit required pursuant to the terms of any Working Capital Debt shall not be required to be made as a Pro Rata Payment; and

(E)

any other payments or prepayments to a Senior Creditor in respect of which it waives its right to a Pro Rata Payment under its Senior Debt Instrument (including, in respect of Facility Lenders, the proviso to Section 3.7 (Pro Rata Payment) of the Common Terms Agreement (and any comparable provision in any other Senior Debt Instrument then in effect)) which waiver shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right to receive a Pro Rata Payment in accordance with this Section 2.3(a) (Payments and Prepayments – Pro Rata Payment of Senior Debt Obligations) as a result of which such Senior Creditor shall not require a Pro Rata Payment or prepayment to such Senior Creditor.

-6-

(b)

Sharing of Non-Pro Rata Payments

(i)

Except to the extent no Pro Rata Payment is required under sub-clause (a)(ii) (Pro Rata Payment of Senior Debt Obligations) above and as set out in sub-clause (ii) below, if any Senior Creditor receives any payment, whether pursuant to enforcement of any Security Interest, as payment of Senior Debt Obligations following acceleration, through right of set-off or voluntary or involuntary prepayment or otherwise, other than a Pro Rata Payment made pursuant to the Finance Documents, such Senior Creditor shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Trustee and pay an amount equal to such amount to the Security Trustee for distribution in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii)

The following amounts shall not be subject to sharing pursuant to sub-clause (i) above:

(A)

any payment made to a Secured Party as indemnity or reimbursement for any additional funding cost, tax incurred or withheld or cost, liability or claim that is the subject of any indemnity, reimbursement or gross-up provision contained in any Finance Document;

any payment representing capitalized interest in respect of any Finance Document.

For the avoidance of doubt, any sub-participation arrangement, credit default swap arrangement, credit derivative transaction, synthetic securitization transaction, insurance arrangement (including any political risk insurance arrangement) or any other type of back-to-back arrangement entered into in connection with a Senior Creditor’s or Senior Creditor Group’s Senior Debt (other than any such back-to-back arrangement entered into with the Company or any of its Affiliates (directly or indirectly) resulting in an obligation to make a payment that relates to a Senior Debt Obligation) shall not be subject to sharing pursuant to sub-clause (i) above.

-7-

(c)

Manner of Payment

All payments to any Secured Party under any Finance Document shall be made in accordance with the terms of the relevant Finance Document or, in the absence of any express provisions in that Finance Document, in US Dollars, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim and for value on the due date.

(d)

(h)

If the Securing Parties shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim with a value in excess of $5,000,000, the Securing Parties shall promptly provide the Security Trustee with a supplement to Schedule E (Commercial Tort Claims) hereto, which supplement shall include a summary description of such claim and grant to the Security Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a Security Interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.

(i)

With respect to any Collateral hereafter owned or acquired, the Securing Parties shall comply with the applicable perfection requirements in clauses (a) through (h) above within 30 days of the Securing Parties acquiring rights therein, or if such rights are acquired after the date of this Agreement but prior to Closing, by Closing.

Subject to the limitations, and except as otherwise expressly provided for, in this Agreement and the other Security Documents, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Security Trustee is authorized to:

(i)

file under the UCC of any state of the United States or other applicable law, Financing Statements, Continuation Statements or other documents relating to the Collateral;

take any action to ensure that the Security Interests in the Collateral are enforceable, perfected (including, where possible, by control in addition to registration) and otherwise effective;

(iv)

apply for registration, or give any notification, in connection with the Security Interests so that such Security Interests have the priority required by the Secured Parties; and

(v)

otherwise exercise the rights of the Secured Parties in connection with the Security Interests,

in each case without the signature of a Securing Party or Holdco (unless such signature is required by applicable law) and naming a Securing Party or Holdco as debtor and the Security Trustee as secured party.

(k)

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Security Document, the Security Trustee shall not be responsible for the creation, perfection, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Security Interest created or intended to be created hereby or pursuant hereto or for the maintenance or perfection of any such Security Interests; provided that the Security Trustee shall promptly execute all public deeds or other documents as required by applicable law and regulation in the various jurisdictions as reasonably requested by any Senior Creditor Group Representative, to duly create and register the Security Interests as provided for in this Article 3 (Security Interests). In the event that the Security Trustee takes any action under this Section 3.5 (Perfection and Maintenance of Security Interests), the Security Trustee shall promptly notify the applicable Securing Party thereof following the taking of such action.

(l)

With respect to Pledged Collateral:

(i)

each applicable Securing Party agrees to promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Security Trustee any and all Pledged Collateral in which the applicable Securing Party now has or hereafter acquires an interest (to the extent represented or evidenced by a certificate, instrument or other transferable document);

(ii)

upon delivery to the Security Trustee, any certificate, instrument or document representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral shall be accompanied by undated membership interest, stock or note powers, as applicable, duly executed in blank or other undated instruments of transfer

-38-

reasonably satisfactory to the Security Trustee and duly executed in blank and by other instruments and documents as the Security Trustee may reasonably request; and

(iii)

the Security Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Collateral in its own name as pledgee, or in the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent).

(m)

The Security Interest granted to the Security Trustee hereunder consisting of personal property will be perfected (i) with respect to any Collateral that can be perfected by filing UCC financing statements, upon the filing of UCC financing statements in the filing offices identified in Schedule L (UCC Filing Offices), (ii) with respect to any Collateral constituting Securities Accounts or Deposit Accounts (excluding any escrow account established under the EPC Contracts) that can be perfected solely by control, upon execution of this Agreement, and (iii) with respect to any Collateral that can be perfected solely by possession, upon the Security Trustee receiving possession thereof in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or another Security Document. In each case such security interest will be, as to Collateral perfected as aforesaid, superior and prior to the rights of all third Persons now existing or hereafter arising as a result of any Lien, in each case subject only to Permitted Liens. All of such above-referenced action as is necessary will be taken on or prior to the Closing Date to the extent so required herein and in the applicable Senior Debt Instrument to establish and perfect the Security Trustee’s rights in and to the Collateral and first priority Lien, subject to Permitted Liens, on the Collateral, including any recordation, filing, registration, giving of notice or other similar action. No filing, recordation, re-filing or re-recording other than those listed on Schedule L (UCC Filing Offices) or otherwise required under the Security Documents is necessary to perfect (or maintain the perfection of, other than the filing of UCC-3 continuation statements) the Liens of the Security Documents (to the extent the Security Trustee’s Security Interest can be perfected by filing). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any control agreements be required in respect of any escrow accounts established under the EPC Contracts.

(n)

The Securing Parties shall not take any action, and shall procure that Holdco take no action, that would or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the perfection or first-ranking priority of the Security Interests, subject in each case to Permitted Liens to the extent specified herein; provided that the Securing Parties shall not be required to take any action to perfect security interests in Excluded Assets or otherwise listed as an exception to the perfection requirements of this Section 3.5 (Perfection and Maintenance of Security Interests).

The Secured Parties shall act in respect of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, including with respect to undertaking enforcement procedures in respect hereof.

Neither the existence of the Accounts, nor the insufficiency of funds in any of them, nor any inability to apply any funds in them towards the relevant payment shall affect the obligation of the Securing Parties to make all payments required to be made to the Secured Parties or any of them on the due date for such payments in accordance with this Agreement or any other Finance Document.

(d)

No sum may be credited to, or withdrawn from, any Account except as expressly permitted or required by this Agreement.

The Company shall notify the Security Trustee and the Account Bank in writing of any such grant of authority to administer the Accounts promptly following such authorization. Without prejudice to any and all obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Agreement and any other Finance Document, it is acknowledged by each party hereto that, upon such written notification to the Security Trustee and the Account Bank, any reference in the Finance Documents to actions by the Company in respect of the Accounts shall be deemed to include, and permit, actions in respect of such Accounts by the Manager if authorized by the Company to administer the Accounts. If the Manager is authorized by the Company to administer the Accounts, the Company shall be liable for any such actions taken by the Manager as if the Company took each such action. Together with any such notice to the Account Bank, the

-44-

No Secured Party shall have any liability for any loss resulting from any such investment other than any such loss caused solely by such Secured Party’s willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. The Account Bank shall have no obligation to invest funds in Authorized Investments in the absence of an instruction from the Company or the Security Trustee.

Whenever the Company directs the Account Bank to purchase an Authorized Investment not represented or evidenced by certificates or instruments capable of possession, the Company shall notify the Security Trustee in writing of such directed purchase and, upon the request of the Security Trustee, the Account Bank will deliver such information to the Security Trustee as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Security Trustee to take all necessary action, including giving confirmations and notices to record the Security Trustee’s interest therein, as required by the UCC to perfect a first priority security interest therein (subject to Permitted Liens) for the benefit of the Security Trustee (on behalf of the Secured Parties). Without limiting the foregoing, whenever the Account Bank purchases an Authorized Investment which is a certificate of deposit, the Account Bank shall simultaneously or promptly thereafter notify the issuer of the certificate of deposit in writing as

-46-

If any documents of title or other documentary evidence of ownership with respect to the Authorized Investments comes into the possession and/or control of the Company, the Company shall immediately hand over such documents to the custody of the Account Bank or, if a Declared Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing, and the Security Trustee so directs, the Security Trustee.

(ii)

the Security Trustee shall be a loss payee (other than in respect of third party liability insurance and automobile liability insurance) and such loss payable clause shall not be cancelled, varied or amended in any respect;

(iii)

all such policies shall require insurers (and brokers), subject to applicable laws and regulations and to the payment procedures under Attachment O of the Applicable EPC Contracts, to pay the proceeds (other than payments due to third parties) to the Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds Account; and

(iv)

the Company shall provide to the Security Trustee the notices required pursuant to Section 10.7 (Insurance Reporting) of the Common Terms Agreement and any other comparable provision in a Senior Debt Instrument.

(i)

is less than $75,000,000, such proceeds shall be transferred from the Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds Account directly for use to repair or replace the relevant Project Property (or, unless the Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are required for the repair or replacement, to reimburse documented amounts contributed to or paid on behalf of the affected Securing Party by the Sponsor or a parent company of the

-73-

Company for purposes of commencing any such repair or replacement) unless the Company certifies that failure to repair or replace such Project Property shall not reduce the annual production capacity or the Project Facilities’ performance to a level below that which is necessary to meet its then outstanding Senior Debt Obligations, in which case such proceeds shall be transferred to the Revenue Account;

(ii)

exceeds $75,000,000 but is less than $500,000,000, then such proceeds shall be applied in accordance with clause (e) below; and

if no Loans are outstanding at the time, then clause (e) below (and not clause (f) below) shall apply in respect of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds that exceed in the aggregate $500,000,000 in the case where the event giving rise to such proceeds is not a Catastrophic Casualty Event resulting in a mandatory prepayment offer of the Senior Notes;

(e)

proceeds required to be applied in accordance with this clause (e) shall be:

(i)

transferred from the Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds Account directly to repair or replace the relevant Project Facilities (or, unless the Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are required for the repair or replacement, to reimburse documented amounts contributed to or paid on behalf of the affected Securing Party by the Sponsor or a parent company of the Company for purposes of commencing any such repair or replacement) upon receipt by the Security Trustee of a certificate as set forth below and a Withdrawal and Transfer Certificate to the Account Bank confirming such certificate has been provided to the Security Trustee:

(A)

the Company, certifying that:

(1)

such transferred proceeds shall be used to repair or replace the relevant Project Facilities;

-74-

(2)

such repair or replacement is expected to maintain the annual production capacity and the Project Facilities’ performance in all material respects;

(3)

the affected Securing Party has sufficient funds available (including Cash Flow permitted to be applied under Section 4.7 (Cash Waterfall) towards repair and replacement of Project Facilities, Equity Funding commitments and amounts in the Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds Account) to repair or replace the relevant Project Facilities according to a restoration plan in order to carry out its obligations under this sub-clause (A) as well as to pay all Operation and Maintenance Expenses, Senior Debt Obligations and any other expenditure that is, or is reasonably likely to be, due to be paid during the period of repair and replacement;

(4)

such repair or replacement shall be completed within 180 days (plus up to an additional 90 days if the affected Securing Party is exercising commercially reasonable efforts to complete the improvements, repairs and restorations (and if the Project Completion Date has not yet occurred, by no later than the Date Certain);

(5)

any Permits necessary for the repair or replacement have been obtained and are in full force and effect or are expected to be obtained in the ordinary course by the time they are necessary; and

(B)

the Independent Engineer confirming (such confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld) its concurrence with the certification made pursuant to sub-clause (A)(2) above;

(ii)

if the Company or the Independent Engineer fails to make any of the certifications or concurrences required by sub-clause (i) above by 90 days after the deposit in the Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds Account of the relevant Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, or to the extent there are any excess Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds remaining in the Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds Account after the completion of a restoration undertaken in compliance with sub-clause (i) above and such excess proceeds exceed $75,000,000, such proceeds shall be applied (A) in accordance with Section 3.4(a)(i) (Mandatory Prepayments – Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds) of the Common Terms Agreement to prepay Loans pro rata based on the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof on the respective Payment Dates for

-75-

payment of principal for such Senior Debt immediately succeeding such 90-day period, (B) to pay the portion of such amount equal to the pro rata share of the Senior Debt held by Senior Noteholders as specified in the applicable Indenture and (C) with respect to paying all remaining proceeds, to the Revenue Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Noteholders (if any) shall have no right to waive or alter the foregoing prepayment obligation other than in respect of amounts due to such Senior Noteholders under sub-clause (B) above;

(f)

(i)

For so long as the Loans are outstanding, on or before 90 days following the receipt in the Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds Account of proceeds required to be applied in accordance with this clause (f), the Company shall deliver to the Security Trustee and Intercreditor Agent the certification described in sub-clause (e)(i)(A) above and a plan for the application of such proceeds and other funds available to the affected Securing Party for the repair or replacement of the relevant Project Facilities. The Company shall include in such plan:

(A)

a schedule of works required to complete the repair or replacement;

a detailed account of the sources of funds;

(E)

the scheduled completion date for the repair and/or replacement works; and

(F)

a schedule showing each Senior Debt Obligation payable through such scheduled completion date for repair and/or replacement showing the source of funds (available Cash Flow, Equity Funding, insurance proceeds, committed financings and/or any other resource reasonably acceptable to the Intercreditor Agent) for each such payment.

(ii)

As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 60 days following receipt of such plan, if the Security Trustee (based on instruction from the Intercreditor Agent) notifies the Company (which notification shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation) that the Requisite Intercreditor Parties conclude in their reasonable

-76-

judgment (taking into account the advice, if any, of the Independent Engineer) that, in light of the nature of the loss, the reasonableness of the plan and the amount of Senior Debt Obligations then outstanding:

(A)

it is reasonably unlikely that, after implementation of the Company’s plan and any ramp up or similar period, the Company shall be able to meet its Senior Debt Obligations; or

(B)

it is reasonably likely that, after implementation of the Company’s plan and any ramp up or similar period, a Material Adverse Effect shall occur,

then the Company shall apply such proceeds on a pro rata basis (I) in accordance with Section 3.7 (Pro Rata Payment) of the Common Terms Agreement to prepay the Senior Debt held by the Facility Lenders pro rata based on the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof on the respective Payment Dates for payments of principal for such Senior Debt immediately succeeding such 60-day period, (II) to pay the portion of such amount equal to the pro rata share of the Senior Debt held by Senior Noteholders as specified in the applicable Indenture and (III) with respect to all remaining proceeds, to the Revenue Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Noteholders (if any) shall have no right to waive or alter the foregoing prepayment obligation other than in respect of amounts due to such Senior Noteholders under sub-clause (II) above;

(g)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2 (Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds), in the event of a Catastrophic Casualty Event resulting in a mandatory prepayment offer of the Senior Notes in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture, the Company shall make a pro rata mandatory prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to the amount proportionate to the principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding that is being prepaid pursuant to such Catastrophic Casualty Event mandatory prepayment offer.

(h)

Nothing in this Section 5.2 (Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds) shall preclude the Company from using equity to commence repairs or to replace property subject to such loss prior to receipt of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds. In such circumstances, nothing shall prevent the Securing Parties from applying the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds received and that are not required for the repair and replacement of property to reimburse documented amounts contributed to or paid on behalf of the affected Securing Party by the Sponsor or a parent company of the Company for purposes of commencing any such repair or replacement to the extent that such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds could have been applied toward the repair and replacement directly according to this Section 5.2 (Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds) (provided that such reimbursed amounts are applied for

-77-

such purpose) and provided, further, that reimbursement shall not be permitted to the extent that Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds were insufficient for repair or replacement and such equity was certified as necessary to undertake such repair or replacement).

(i)

No later than 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter (beginning the first calendar quarter following the commencement of any repair or replacement carried out in connection with a loss for which the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds exceed $75,000,000 and ending the calendar quarter during which such repair or replacement is completed), the Company shall deliver to the Security Trustee, the Intercreditor Agent and the Independent Engineer a summary of the construction activities required in connection with any repair or replacement of the affected Project Facilities carried out during such calendar quarter. Such summary shall include a description of:

(i)

the physical progress and expenditures during such calendar quarter;

(ii)

cumulative expenditures through to the end of such calendar quarter;

(iii)

material variations in physical progress and expenditures from the plan, together with a summary description of the causes of such variations, and any steps or actions intended to be taken to minimize such variances in the future;

(iv)

the Company’s then-current estimates of:

(A)

expenditures for the next quarter; and

(B)

the then-scheduled completion date for such works; and

(v)

any material developments during such quarter relating to the relevant repair or replacement.

(j)

From and after Closing, any insurance proceeds that are not required by this Section 5.2 (Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds) and by the relevant provisions of any Senior Debt Instruments to be used for the repair and replacement of the affected Project Property (or to reimburse documented amounts contributed to or paid on behalf of the affected Securing Party by the Sponsor or a parent company of the Company for purposes of commencing any such repair or replacement if such amounts are not required for the repair and replacement of property) or that are not required for the mandatory prepayment of any Senior Debt Obligations (including by transfer of the amount of the Pro Rata Payment to prepay Senior Debt held by Senior Creditors other than the Facility Lenders that would otherwise have been made as a prepayment to such Senior Creditors to a Mandatory Prepayment Senior Notes Account), in accordance with

-78-

this Section 5.2 (Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds) or the relevant provisions of any Senior Debt Instruments, shall be transferred to the Revenue Account and applied in accordance with Section 4.7 (Cash Waterfall).

5.3

Performance Liquidated Damages

Performance Liquidated Damages received by any Securing Party shall be applied as follows:

(a)

to complete, repair, refurbish or improve the Project Facilities in respect of which the Performance Liquidated Damages were paid or other Project Facilities under construction related to the Corpus Christi Terminal Facility or the Corpus Christi Pipeline;

(b)

to repay or reimburse providers of Equity Funding to the extent such Equity Funding was used to complete, repair, refurbish or improve the Project Facilities in respect of which the Performance Liquidated Damages were paid or other Project Facilities under construction related to the Corpus Christi Terminal Facility or the Corpus Christi Pipeline; and

(c)

if at any time Performance Liquidated Damages not used in accordance with clause (a) or (b) above within 180 days following receipt thereof (or 270 days if a commitment to complete, repair, refurbish or improve the Project Facilities is entered within 180 days following the receipt of such proceeds) meet the criteria for making a mandatory prepayment pursuant to any Senior Debt Instrument (including Section 3.4(a)(ii) (Mandatory Prepayments – Performance Liquidated Damages) of the Common Terms Agreement), then the required amount shall be transferred to the Additional Proceeds Prepayment Account and applied to such mandatory prepayment.

6.	SECURITY TRUSTEE ACTION

(a)

Action under Individual Senior Debt Instruments and Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instruments—General

give any draw-stop notice in accordance with its Senior Debt Instrument;

(B)

suspend, cancel or reduce its undrawn Senior Debt Commitments;

-79-

(C)

accelerate the outstanding Senior Debt Obligations under its Senior Debt Instrument; or

(D)

take such other actions as are permitted under its Senior Debt Instrument,

in each case as, when and on the terms and conditions provided in its Senior Debt Instrument and the Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), as the case may be. If any of the foregoing actions are taken by any Senior Creditor Group, the related Senior Creditor Group Representative shall promptly notify the Security Trustee (who in turn shall promptly notify each other Senior Creditor Group Representative) of any such action.

(ii)

Each Senior Creditor Group party to a Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument shall have the right to declare an event of default or termination event under its respective Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument, and at any time thereafter take such actions as are permitted under its Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument, in each case as, when and on the terms and conditions provided in its Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument and, if applicable, the Intercreditor Agreement (including Section 5.1 (Undertakings of Hedging Banks) of the Intercreditor Agreement), subject in each case to Section 7.3 (Hedging Banks). If any such actions are taken by any such Senior Creditor Group, the related Senior Creditor Group Representative shall promptly notify the Security Trustee (who in turn shall promptly notify each other Senior Creditor Group Representative) of any such action.

(b)

Control of Accounts

If the Security Trustee receives notice:

(i)

from the Intercreditor Agent or any other party to the Intercreditor Agreement that a Loan Facility Declared Default has occurred and is Continuing;

(ii)

from an Indenture Trustee that an Indenture Declared Default has occurred and is Continuing; or

(iii)

from any future acceding intercreditor agent or Senior Creditor Group Representative (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Senior Creditor Group Representative which has appointed the Intercreditor Agent as contemplated in Section 2.5(c) (Other Intercreditor Agents)) that an Event of Default identified in the relevant Senior Debt Instrument as a “Declared Event of Default” has occurred and is Continuing,

-80-

then the Security Trustee shall take the actions with respect to control and investment of funds in the Accounts specified in Section 4.6(b) (Control and Investment of Funds in Accounts).

(i)

as provided in Sections 6.2 (Initiation of Security Enforcement Action) and 6.3 (Conduct of Security Enforcement Action); and

(ii)

by the Security Trustee or by another party at the direction of the Security Trustee.

Accordingly, no Secured Party shall take or purport to take any action to enforce the Security Interests other than as provided by, and pursuant to, this Article 6 (Security Trustee Action).

6.2

Initiation of Security Enforcement Action

(a)

When permitted under the terms of the relevant Senior Debt Instrument (and, with respect to the Facility Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement), and subject to Section 7.3 (Hedging Banks), any Senior Creditor Group Representative, or the Intercreditor Agent on behalf of any Senior Creditor Group Representative, who represents a Senior Creditor Group that previously has declared an Event of Default under its Senior Debt Instrument that is Continuing (or any future intercreditor agent duly appointed pursuant to Section 2.5 (Other Intercreditor Agents)) may deliver to the Security Trustee a written request to initiate a Security Enforcement Action (a “Security Enforcement Action Initiation Request”) and the Security Trustee shall deliver a copy thereof to the Intercreditor Agent, each other Senior Creditor Group Representative and the Company; provided, however, that failure to deliver a copy thereof to the Company shall not invalidate any Security Enforcement Action.

(b)

Any such Security Enforcement Action Initiation Request shall:

(i)

be labelled “Security Enforcement Action Initiation Request” and shall reference that it is being given pursuant to and for purposes of this Section 6.2 (Initiation of Security Enforcement Action);

(ii)

state the Senior Creditor Group(s) on whose behalf it is being given, and the amount of outstanding Senior Debt Commitments and/or Senior Debt Obligations of such Senior Creditor Group(s);

-81-

(iii)

state the Declared Event(s) of Default under and in accordance with the relevant Senior Debt Instrument(s), with specific reference to the relevant provision(s) of such instrument(s);

(iv)

state whether such Declared Event(s) of Default include(s) a Bankruptcy Default;

(vi)

certify that such instruction has been duly authorized by the taking of all necessary action by the relevant Senior Creditors on whose behalf such instruction is being delivered and is duly given, in each case in compliance with the relevant Senior Debt Instrument (and, as applicable, the Intercreditor Agreement).

(c)

Bankruptcy Default

If any one or more of the Security Enforcement Action Initiation Requests received by the Security Trustee pursuant to and in compliance with clause (b) above states that the Declared Event(s) of Default under the relevant Senior Debt Instrument(s) have included a Loan Facility Event of Default under Section 15.1(d)(i) (Loan Facility Events of Default – Bankruptcy) of the Common Terms Agreement (a “Bankruptcy Default”) or its equivalent under any other Senior Debt Instrument, then such Security Enforcement Action Initiation Request(s) shall be sufficient (regardless of whether or not the Senior Creditor Group Representatives giving such directions represent an Initiating Percentage of the Senior Debt Obligations) to require the Security Trustee to take the directed Security Enforcement Action.

(d)

Other Declared Event(s) of Default – Initiating Percentage

Except as set forth in clause (c) (Bankruptcy Default) above, the Security Trustee shall only be authorized to initiate the requested Security Enforcement Action if and when it shall have received Security Enforcement Action Initiation Requests pursuant to and in compliance with clause (b) above from Senior Creditor Group Representative(s) representing at such time an Initiating Percentage of the Senior Debt Obligations.

-82-

(e)

Votes Relating to Accounts Secured in Favor of any Individual Groups of Senior Noteholders

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with regard to any group of Senior Noteholders who benefits from a Security Interest in an Individual Senior Noteholder Secured Account that secures solely the Senior Debt Obligations under the Senior Debt Instrument to which such Senior Noteholders are a party (as provided in Section 3.2(c) (Security Interests to be Granted by the Securing Parties – Security Interests – Individual Senior Noteholder Secured Accounts)), for the purposes of (i) calculating whether Security Enforcement Action Initiation Requests sufficient to take the directed Security Enforcement Action in respect of Collateral that is secured in favor of all Secured Parties under this Agreement or any other Finance Document have been received by the Security Trustee and (ii) calculating any votes relating to the conduct of such Security Enforcement Action, such Senior Noteholders shall not be entitled to vote their respective Senior Debt Obligations to the extent of any amounts standing to the account of such Senior Noteholder Secured Account at the time of such vote and such Senior Debt Obligations that are not entitled to be voted shall be disregarded for purposes of the applicable vote.

(f)

Notice of Security Enforcement Action

Promptly following receipt of Security Enforcement Action Initiation Requests sufficient to take the directed Security Enforcement Action pursuant to clause (c) (Bankruptcy Default) or clause (d) (Other Declared Event(s) of Default – Initiating Percentage) above, the Security Trustee shall deliver a notice (a “Notice of Security Enforcement Action”) to each Senior Creditor Group Representative and the Intercreditor Agent and shall take the directed Security Enforcement Action, subject to Section 6.3 (Conduct of Security Enforcement Action) and the other provisions of this Agreement. The Security Trustee shall, simultaneously with delivery of such notice to the Senior Creditor Group Representatives and Intercreditor Agent or promptly thereafter, deliver a copy of such Notice of Security Enforcement Action to the Company; provided, however, that failure to deliver a copy thereof to the Company shall not invalidate any Security Enforcement Action.

6.3

Conduct of Security Enforcement Action

(a)

Following the receipt by the Security Trustee of Security Enforcement Action Initiation Requests sufficient to take Security Enforcement Action in accordance with Section 6.2 (Initiation of Security Enforcement Action) until such time as the Security Trustee receives a Cessation Notice with respect to the relevant Declared Event(s) of Default that resulted in such Security Enforcement Action, any group of Senior Noteholders who benefits from a Security Interest in an Individual Senior Noteholder Secured Account that secures solely the Senior Debt

-83-

Obligations under the Senior Debt Instrument to which such Senior Noteholders are a party (as provided in Section 3.2(c) (Security Interests to be Granted by the Securing Parties – Security Interests – Individual Senior Noteholder Secured Accounts)) may, subject to the terms of the applicable Senior Notes, at any time and at their sole discretion, direct the Security Trustee to take any action to enforce such Security Interests of such Senior Noteholders in the funds and investments in such Individual Senior Noteholder Secured Account.

(b)

Subject to initiation of a Security Enforcement Action having been duly authorized pursuant to Section 6.2 (Initiation of Security Enforcement Action) and clause (h) below, the Security Enforcement Action Representative shall be entitled to provide subsequent instructions regarding the conduct of the specified Security Enforcement Action that has previously been initiated pursuant to Section 6.2 (Initiation of Security Enforcement Action). Such instructions may:

(i)

require the Security Trustee to enforce this Agreement and any other Finance Documents, either by judicial proceedings for the enforcement of the payment of Senior Debt Obligations and the enforcement of the Security Interests created under the Security Documents, the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or otherwise or by the exercise of the power of entry and/or sale conferred pursuant to the Security Documents and the Direct Agreements; and

(ii)

direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Security Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Security Trustee hereunder or under any Security Document or Direct Agreement; provided that:

(A)

such direction shall not be in conflict with applicable law nor this Agreement; and

(B)

the Security Trustee may take any other action reasonably incidental to carrying out any instruction to take any Security Enforcement Action.

For the avoidance of doubt, upon delivery of a Notice of Security Enforcement Action, the Security Trustee shall conduct such Security Enforcement Action in accordance with the instructions received as contemplated in Section 6.2(b)(v) (Initiation of Security Enforcement Action) and shall not be required to wait for any subsequent instructions that may be provided in accordance with this Section 6.3 (Conduct of Security Enforcement Action), but in the event instructions under this Section 6.3 (Conduct of Security Enforcement Action) are received, then such instructions shall, to the extent so provided by such instructions, govern the implementation of the Security Enforcement Action to the extent not already addressed in the Security Enforcement Action Initiation Request.

-84-

(c)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Security Enforcement Action by the Security Trustee may include (but only if so instructed by the Initiating Percentage in a Security Enforcement Action Initiation Request pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(v) (Initiation of Security Enforcement Action) above or the Security Enforcement Action Representative following initiation of a Security Enforcement Action pursuant to Section 6.2 (Initiation of Security Enforcement Action)) the right, subject to applicable law, to take any other action as the holder of a security interest may be entitled to take under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights or remedies hereunder may be asserted, including:

(i)

requiring any Collateral Party to assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Security Trustee and make it available to the Security Trustee at a place to be designated by the Security Trustee that is reasonably convenient to the Security Trustee and applicable Collateral Party;

(ii)

without notice except as specified in Section 6.4(a) (Incidents of Sale) or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Security Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Security Trustee may deem commercially reasonable; and

(iii)

exercising any other right or remedy of a secured creditor under applicable law, including, without limitation, the UCC, and all other rights under any Security Document or Direct Agreement.

(d)

Other than pursuant to Security Enforcement Action properly taken in accordance with this Agreement, no Secured Party shall have the right in respect of the Senior Debt Obligations owed to it or otherwise under this Agreement to commence any Bankruptcy, judicial or otherwise, against any Collateral Party or its Affiliates.

(e)

Other than pursuant to Security Enforcement Action properly taken in accordance with this Agreement or to the extent required to be permitted under non-waivable Government Rules, no Secured Party shall have the right to commence any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any judgment obtained by it in respect of the Senior Debt Obligations or otherwise under the Finance Documents against any Collateral Party or its Affiliates or their assets or properties or to enforce any provision of this Agreement, any other Finance Document or the Security Interests created under or pursuant to any such document, it being understood and intended that no Secured Party shall have any rights in any

-85-

manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the Security Interests created under the Security Documents or the rights of any of the other Secured Parties, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Secured Party or to enforce any rights under this Agreement or any other Finance Document except in the manner herein provided.

(f)

Subject to Section 10.5 (Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy), following commencement of any Bankruptcy Proceeding by or against a Collateral Party, any Senior Creditor may: (i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to (and to the extent of) the Senior Debt Obligations (if any) owed by such person to such Senior Creditor in accordance with the Finance Documents, (ii) vote on any plan of reorganization and (iii) make other filings, arguments, objections and motions in connection with such Bankruptcy Proceeding, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents (other than any requirement for an intercreditor vote to take such action).

(g)

Nothing in this Section 6.3 (Conduct of Security Enforcement Action) shall prevent the Secured Parties through the Security Trustee from taking action with respect to the Collateral reasonably designed to preserve and protect their rights in, or to prevent any diminution in the value, utility or condition of, such Collateral so long as, prior to any Security Enforcement Action being taken, such action does not materially adversely affect any Collateral Party or their respective Affiliates’ “quiet enjoyment” or use of the Collateral.

(h)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.3 (Conduct of Security Enforcement Action) to the contrary (including any requirement to give notice or otherwise), at any time that the Security Trustee receives a notice from any counterparty under a Direct Agreement stating that a Securing Party is in default under a Material Project Agreement, the Security Trustee shall notify the Company of the receipt of such notice. The Security Trustee may take any action to cure such default if directed by the Security Enforcement Action Representative.

(i)

The Security Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that its right and remedies with respect to certain of the Collateral, including certain Permits and the Pledged Collateral, may be subject to the requirements of the statutory rules and regulations applicable to the Permits held by the Securing Parties. The Security Trustee and Secured Parties further recognize and acknowledge that (i) the disposition of any such Collateral, (ii) any direct or indirect change of control of a Securing Party and (iii) any direct or indirect exercise of management control or other control over a Securing Party may be subject to regulatory restrictions (including the need to obtain consent or approval of the applicable regulatory authorities that have granted Permits to such Securing Party).

-86-

6.4

Incidents of Sale

(a)

In addition to exercising the foregoing rights and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the initiation of a Security Enforcement Action, the Security Trustee may, to the extent permitted by applicable Government Rules and in a commercially reasonable manner, time and place, arrange for and sell, lease, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at a public or private sale (as the Security Trustee may elect), which sale may be conducted by an employee or representative of the Security Trustee. The Security Trustee or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private sale in accordance with the UCC. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Collateral Parties, and each Collateral Party hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Parties agree that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to such Collateral Party of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Security Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Security Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Collateral Party agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Security Trustee to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.

(b)

Upon any sale of any of the Collateral by the Security Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or pursuant to judicial proceedings, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Security Trustee may make and deliver, or cause to be made and delivered, to the purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed, bill of sale and instrument of assignment and transfer of the property sold and may substitute one or more Persons with like power (and the Securing Parties hereby ratify and confirm, and shall procure that Holdco ratify and confirm, all that their said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement; but if so required by the Security Trustee or by any purchaser, the Securing Parties shall ratify and confirm, and procure that Holdco ratify and confirm, any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to the Security Trustee or to such purchaser or purchasers all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request).

-87-

(c)

The Securing Parties hereby waive and release to the fullest extent permitted by law all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Senior Debt Obligations or otherwise.

(d)

For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including the Bankruptcy Code, the Security Trustee, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Security Trustee shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Senior Debt Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Security Trustee at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Senior Debt Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Senior Debt Obligations; provided that any such arrangement shall not be undertaken in a manner that is inconsistent with this Agreement.

(e)

The Security Trustee may release, temporarily or otherwise, to a Securing Party any item of Collateral of which the Security Trustee has taken possession pursuant to any right granted to the Security Trustee by this Agreement without waiving any rights granted to the Security Trustee under this Agreement, any other Finance Document or any other agreement related thereto. Each Securing Party, in dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, hereby waives all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshaling of assets or to require, upon foreclosure, sales of assets in a particular order. The Security Trustee may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Security Trustee may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Securing Party also waives its right to challenge the reasonableness of any disclaimer of warranties, title and the like made by the Security Trustee in connection with a sale of the Collateral. If the Security Trustee sells any of the Collateral upon credit, such Securing Party will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Security Trustee and applied to the payment of the outstanding Senior Debt Obligations. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Security Trustee may resell the Collateral, and such Securing Party shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. In the event the Security Trustee shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by applicable Government Rules, this Agreement or any other Finance Document, the Security Trustee may bid any amount, including more or less than the amount of the Senior Debt Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable Government Rules, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether the Security Trustee or any other party is the successful bidder, shall, absent fraud or gross negligence, be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount, if less than the amount of

-88-

the Senior Debt Obligations, and the remaining balance of the Senior Debt Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Senior Debt Obligations.

(f)

Each Securing Party recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, applicable state securities laws or other applicable Government Rules, the Security Trustee or an investment banker or other expert employed by the Security Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Securing Party acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Security Trustee than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that the inclusion of such restriction shall not deem such private sale to have not been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Security Trustee or an investment banker or other expert employed by the Security Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the respective issuer thereof to register it for public sale. Subject to compliance by the Security Trustee with this Agreement, the Securing Parties hereby waive any claims against the Security Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Security Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

(g)

In respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, the Security Trustee is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Government Rules, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Security Trustee be liable or accountable to any Securing Party for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

(h)

In exercising its right to take possession of the Collateral following the initiation of a Security Enforcement Action hereunder, the Security Trustee, personally or by its agents or attorneys, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Government Rules, may enter upon any land owned or leased by each of the Securing Parties without being guilty of trespass or any wrongdoing, and without liability to any Securing Party for damages thereby occasioned.

-89-

(i)

If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Security Trustee shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, whether because of any applicable Government Rules pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Securing Party hereby consents to such action by the Security Trustee and, to the extent permitted by applicable Government Rules, waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the Security Trustee shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation, indemnification or reimbursement which any Securing Party might otherwise have had but for such action by the Security Trustee or the terms herein. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Security Trustee to seek a deficiency judgment against any Securing Party shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable Government Rules, impair any Securing Party’s obligation hereunder.

6.5

Security Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

During the pendency of any Bankruptcy Proceeding in relation to a Collateral Party or the Collateral, the Security Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Senior Debt Obligations shall then be due and payable, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)

to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the Senior Debt Obligations owing to the Secured Parties and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Security Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, disbursements and advances of the Security Trustee, as such hereunder, its agents and counsel) and of the Secured Parties allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)

to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, Receiver, assignee, security trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Security Trustee.

6.6

Security Trustee May Enforce Claims

All rights of action and claims under this Agreement may be prosecuted and enforced by the Security Trustee in its own name as Security Trustee of an express trust; provided, however, that the Security Trustee is also hereby appointed as agent for the Secured Parties for this and the other purposes of this Agreement, and the Security Trustee may, if necessary under applicable law, pursue any such rights of action and/or claims solely as agent for the Secured Parties and/or delegate the performance of such action to a third Person. Any recovery of judgment by the Security Trustee shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties and deposited in the Enforcement Proceeds Account for application as provided in Section 6.7 (Enforcement Proceeds Account).

-90-

6.7

Enforcement Proceeds Account

(a)

Upon the authorization to commence Security Enforcement Action pursuant to Section 6.2 (Initiation of Security Enforcement Action), the Security Trustee shall establish and thereafter maintain in its name a segregated bank account in the United States (the “Enforcement Proceeds Account”) for the purpose of depositing therein the proceeds of any Security Enforcement Action (net of costs and expenses of such action) taken pursuant to this Article 6 (Security Trustee Action) and all proceeds otherwise received for satisfaction of the Senior Debt Obligations. The Securing Parties acknowledge and agree that the Enforcement Proceeds Account shall be the property of the Security Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and the Securing Parties shall not have any legal or beneficial interest therein at any time.

(b)

All monies held in the Enforcement Proceeds Account shall be trust funds held by the Security Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties for the purpose of making payments in the following order of priority:

(i)

first, to payment of that portion of the Secured Party Fees then due and payable to the Security Trustee, the Account Bank or the Intercreditor Agent, in their respective capacities as such or any of their respective agents and to reimbursement of any such fees paid by way of indemnity by any Senior Creditor;

(ii)

second, to the payment of that portion of the Secured Party Fees then due and payable to the Senior Creditor Group Representatives and to reimbursement of any such fees paid by way of indemnity by any Senior Creditor, in each case ratably in proportion to the respective Secured Party Fees due and payable to each Senior Creditor Group Representative;

(iii)

third, to the Pro Rata Payment among the holders thereof, of that portion of the Senior Debt Obligations constituting unpaid interest (including default interest and any net amounts under any Permitted Hedging Instrument in respect of interest rates);

(iv)

fourth, to the Pro Rata Payment among the holders thereof, of that portion of the Senior Debt Obligations constituting unpaid principal and Hedging Termination Amounts;

(v)

fifth, to cash collateralize any outstanding letters of credit comprising Senior Debt Obligations;

(vi)

sixth, to the Pro Rata Payment among the holders thereof, of other Senior Debt Obligations; and

-91-

(vii)

seventh, after the payment in full of the amounts in sub-clauses (i) through (vi) above, the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Securing Parties or the Securing Parties’ successors (or to Holdco or its applicable Affiliate, as the case may be), or as a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York may otherwise direct.

(c)

In applying any monies towards satisfaction of the Senior Debt Obligations, the Securing Parties shall be credited only with funds available for that purpose that actually are received by the Security Trustee. The credit shall date from the time of receipt of such funds by the Security Trustee. Such funds shall be apportioned by the Security Trustee as between principal, interest and other amounts in accordance with the order set forth in Section 2.3(d) (Payments and Prepayments – Partial Payments). Any such apportionment by the Security Trustee shall override any apportionment made by a Securing Party.

6.8

Rights of Enforcement under the Security Documents

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, no Security Document or Direct Agreement shall include rights of enforcement that are inconsistent with those provided in this Article 6 (Security Trustee Action) or have the effect of deviating from or changing the rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in this Agreement and in the other Finance Documents.

6.9

Rights of Set-Off

If a Security Enforcement Action has been previously initiated, each Senior Creditor and (subject to Section 8.21(e) (Miscellaneous)) the Security Trustee is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to any other provision of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Senior Creditor or the Security Trustee, as applicable, to or for the credit or the account of the Securing Parties against the Senior Debt Obligations due and payable to such Senior Creditor or the Security Trustee, as applicable, at the time of such set-off. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Senior Creditor or the Security Trustee, as applicable, may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purposes of the set-off. The rights of each Senior Creditor and (subject to Section 8.21(e) (Miscellaneous)) the Security Trustee under this Section 6.9 (Rights of Set-Off) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Senior Creditor or the Security Trustee, as applicable, may have. Upon the exercise or purported exercise of any right of set-off by a Senior Creditor, such Senior Creditor shall notify its respective Senior Creditor Group Representative and the Securing Parties forthwith, giving full details in relation thereto, and such Senior Creditor Group Representative shall promptly inform the Security Trustee who shall inform the other Senior Creditor Group Representatives of the same. Upon the exercise or purported exercise of any right

-92-

of set-off by the Security Trustee, it shall notify each Senior Creditor Group Representative and the Securing Parties forthwith, giving full details in relation thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts obtained by set-off by any Senior Creditor in accordance with the foregoing shall be subject to sharing as provided in Section 2.3(b) (Payments and Prepayments – Sharing of Non-Pro Rata Payments).

(e)

Senior Creditor Actions

(i)

All action by the Senior Creditors (acting through their respective Senior Creditor Group Representatives) shall be taken on a “block voting” basis whereby each Senior Creditor Group Representative shall, with respect to the matters on which it has the right to vote, act as a unanimous block in respect of all of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Debt held by the Senior Creditors it represents (and, except with respect to the exercise of remedies or where acceleration or deemed acceleration has occurred with respect to such Senior Debt, the aggregate principal amount of Senior Debt Commitments).

-98-

outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether a required voting threshold has been met, except that no Modification of any Senior Debt Instrument shall, without the consent of Sponsor or the applicable Affiliate (to the extent they hold any Senior Debt under such Senior Debt Instrument), (i) deprive Sponsor or the applicable Affiliate of its pro rata share of any payment to which all Senior Creditors of the applicable Senior Debt are entitled, (ii) affect Sponsor or the applicable Affiliate (solely in their capacity as holders of such Senior Debt) in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect on any Senior Creditor of the applicable Senior Debt or (iii) change this Section 7.4 (Sponsor Voting).

(a)

Without prejudice to, or in any way limiting, the discretion, rights and prerogatives of the individual Senior Creditors and Senior Creditor Groups under their respective Senior Debt Instruments and Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instruments and hereunder (or, with respect to the Facility Lenders and any Hedging Banks, the requirements and operation of the Intercreditor Agreement), each Senior Creditor Group Representative shall notify the Security Trustee and each other Senior Creditor Group Representative of:

(i)

any refusal or failure to fund a Senior Debt Commitment when requested by the Company;

(ii)

receipt of notice from any Collateral Party (that is not also addressed to the Security Trustee) of an event which is, or with the giving of notice or passage of time would become, an event of default under its Senior Debt Instrument or Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument; and

(iii)

receipt of a request from any Collateral Party (that is not also addressed to the Security Trustee) of a request for an amendment, consent, approval or waiver under a Senior Debt Instrument or Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument.

The Intercreditor Agent on behalf of the Facility Lenders and any Hedging Banks, any Indenture Trustee on behalf of Senior Noteholders, and any future acceding Senior Creditor Group Representative agree, upon the reasonable request of any of them, to consult with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that none of them shall have any liability to the others or to the Loan Parties for any failure to so consult and none of them shall be obligated to delay or withhold any declaration, consent, approval, waiver or other action pending such consultation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such consultation may take the form of an invitation by the Intercreditor Agent to an Indenture Trustee to participate in any meeting convened pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.

-99-

7.6

Intercreditor Agent Indemnity

(a)

The Securing Parties agree to indemnify (without duplication in respect of any other indemnity required under Section 12.18 (Other Indemnities) or any other Finance Document) the Intercreditor Agent in its individual capacity and its directors, officers, agents and employees for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss, damage, liability, claim, judgment, settlement, compromise, obligation, damage, penalty, cost, expense or disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Intercreditor Agent with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, unless arising from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Intercreditor Agent or the Persons that are seeking indemnification, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 7.6 (Intercreditor Agent Indemnity) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, each Securing Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by the Intercreditor Agent and its directors, officers, agents and employees or any of them.

(b)

Without limiting the liability of the Securing Parties under the Finance Documents, if the Securing Parties fail to comply with their obligations under clause (a) above, each Senior Creditor shall (based on the proportion of indebtedness owed to it by the Company relative to the aggregate indebtedness owed by the Company to all Senior Creditors under the Senior Debt Instruments and the Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instruments) indemnify the Intercreditor Agent, within five Business Days of demand, against any loss, liability, claim, judgment, settlement, compromise, obligation, damage, penalty, cost, expense or disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Intercreditor Agent with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, unless arising from the Intercreditor Agent’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

(c)

The Securing Parties shall, within five Business Days of demand (but without duplication of indemnification otherwise received by the Intercreditor Agent from the Securing Parties), reimburse each Senior Creditor for any payment properly made by it under clause (b) above upon production of a certificate from each such Senior Creditor setting out details of such payment, and all such amounts shall comprise “Senior Debt Obligations.”

-100-

(d)

If any indemnity furnished to the Intercreditor Agent for any purpose shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Intercreditor Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Intercreditor Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Senior Creditor to indemnify the Intercreditor Agent against liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Senior Creditor’s pro rata share thereof; provided further that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Senior Creditor to indemnify the Intercreditor Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement arising from the Intercreditor Agent’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

(e)

The agreements in this Section 7.6 (Intercreditor Agent Indemnity) shall survive the resignation or removal of the Intercreditor Agent and the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement.

8.	THE SECURITY TRUSTEE

8.1

Appointment and Duties

(a)

Each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints Société Générale as the Security Trustee hereunder, and the Security Trustee hereby accepts such appointment created in this Agreement upon the terms and conditions hereof and agrees to act as Security Trustee under the Finance Documents, and each Senior Creditor Group Representative hereby acknowledges and consents to such appointment. The Secured Parties hereby authorize and direct the Security Trustee to act as agent on their behalf and to execute, deliver and perform each Security Document and other Finance Document to which the Security Trustee is a party (including in which it is expressed to be a party on behalf of or for the benefit of the Secured Parties), as the same may be amended, supplemented, revised or renewed from time to time. No party hereto may inquire into the authority of the Security Trustee to act for any of the Secured Parties. Where the Security Trustee is required or permitted to act under this Agreement or under any other Finance Document, the Security Trustee shall, notwithstanding anything herein or therein to the contrary, (i) be entitled to request instruction or direction in respect of any such rights, powers and discretions or clarification of any written instruction received by it, as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising its rights, powers and discretions and (ii) unless the terms of the agreement unambiguously mandate the action, may refrain from acting (and will incur no liability in refraining to act) until that direction, instruction or clarification is received by it from the relevant parties or from a court of competent jurisdiction.

-101-

(b)

The Security Trustee shall have no duties other than those specifically set forth or provided for in this Agreement, the Security Documents and other Finance Documents and no implied covenants or obligations of the Security Trustee shall be read into this Agreement, the Security Documents, other Finance Documents or any related agreement to which it is a party, except for an implied covenant of good faith. The Security Trustee may refrain from acting or exercising any of its rights, powers and discretions hereunder or under any of the other Finance Documents unless and until instructed to do so, and as to the manner of doing so, by the relevant Secured Parties.

(c)

Except to the extent that a Security Trustee is acting on express instructions, the Security Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs (taking into account the interests of all the Secured Parties benefiting from this Agreement) and the Security Trustee shall at all times take such care in dealing with the Collateral as the Security Trustee would in dealing with his or her own property.

(d)

by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever claimed in any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Security Trustee in its individual capacity by an obligee under any Finance Document that (A) arises out of a breach by any Collateral Party of any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or (B) arises out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owed to such obligee or its successors from any Collateral Party (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be and remain enforceable against and only against such Collateral Parties, and shall not be enforceable against the Security Trustee (in its individual or any other capacity)),

-112-

unless arising from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Security Trustee or the Persons that are seeking indemnification, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 8.8 (Indemnity) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by the Security Trustee and its directors, officers, agents and employees or any of them.

(b)

Without limiting the liability of the Securing Parties under the Finance Documents, if the Securing Parties fail to comply with their obligations under clause (a) above, each Senior Creditor shall (based on the proportion of indebtedness owed to it by the Securing Parties relative to the aggregate indebtedness owed by the Securing Parties to all Senior Creditors under the Senior Debt Instruments and Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instruments) indemnify the Security Trustee, within five Business Days of demand, against any loss, liability, claim, judgment, settlement, compromise, obligation, damage, penalty, cost, expense or disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Security Trustee with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, unless arising from the Security Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

(d)

If the Security Trustee requests the assistance of a Secured Party:

(i)

during a time when an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing; or

otherwise with the Company’s consent,

-113-

to consult on behalf of or for the benefit of the Secured Parties with the Security Trustee, the provisions of Section 8.1(c) (Appointment and Duties) and Section 8.5 (Liability) shall apply to such Secured Party as though it were the Security Trustee and such Secured Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.8 (Indemnity). Such Secured Party shall have no responsibility or obligation to provide such assistance unless it elects to do so, and upon such election shall have no obligations unless it benefits from the indemnity and exoneration provisions as contemplated by this clause (d).

(e)

If any indemnity furnished to the Security Trustee for any purpose shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Security Trustee, be insufficient or become impaired, the Security Trustee may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Senior Creditor to indemnify the Security Trustee against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Senior Creditor’s pro rata share thereof; provided further that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Senior Creditor to indemnify the Security Trustee against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement arising from the Security Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

(f)

The agreements in Section 8.5 (Liability) and this Section 8.8 (Indemnity) shall survive resignation or removal of the Security Trustee, as the case may be, and the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement.

(g)

Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Section 8.8 (Indemnity), the Security Trustee and every Receiver, attorney, manager, agent or other Person appointed by the Security Trustee hereunder or under any other Security Document or Direct Agreement shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the Collateral in respect of all liabilities and expenses properly incurred by it or any one of them in the execution or purported execution of this Agreement or of any functions vested in it or any one of them pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Documents and any of the other Finance Documents and against all actions, proceedings, costs, claims and demands against it by third parties in respect of any acts or omissions relating to the Collateral, and the Security Trustee may retain any part of any monies held by it as a result of the operation or application of this Agreement, the Security Documents and any of the other Finance Documents constituting all sums necessary to effect such indemnity and also the remuneration of the Security Trustee.

(h)

In no event shall the Security Trustee be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business, opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive or consequential damages, whether or not the Security Trustee has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

-114-

Fees and expenses payable to the Security Trustee for its services under this Agreement and pursuant to the SG Agency Fee Letter shall be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any current or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or other deductions or withholdings levied in any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made, unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law, in which event the Securing Parties shall pay additional amounts (other than with respect to taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or other deductions or withholdings imposed on or measured by net income and resulting from a present or former connection of the Security Trustee to such jurisdiction) so that the Security Trustee will receive the amount that it would otherwise have received but for such deduction or withholding after allowing for any deductions or withholding attributable to additional amounts payable under this Agreement. Any Senior Debt Obligations paid to the Security Trustee shall be subject to the tax gross-up and indemnity provisions of the applicable Senior Debt Instrument (including, if applicable, Article 21 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities) of the Common Terms Agreement).

(b)

The Security Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement in its individual capacity, without duplication in respect of any other indemnity and/or expense reimbursement required under any other Finance Document, upon receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence (by invoice or other written evidence), for its reasonable advances, disbursements and expenses in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents, any Receiver properly appointed under a Security Document or Direct Agreement and of counsel, accountants and other experts referred to in Section 8.6 (Consultation with Counsel, Etc.)) and under the Security Documents and any other Finance Documents (including (1) for the protection, preservation, repair or recovery of the Collateral (including payment of Taxes or purchasing insurance for the Collateral), (2) for the protection of the interest of the Security Trustee in the Collateral and (3) for the collection of indebtedness secured hereby and by the other Security Documents or enforcement of the Security Trustee’s remedies hereunder and under the other Security Documents following and during the Continuance of an Event of Default), and interest thereon, from time to time as services are rendered and advances, disbursements and expenses are incurred.

8.11

The Securing Parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Security Trustee (in its capacity as such hereunder) and each other Secured Party from, and shall reimburse the Security Trustee and each other Secured Party for, any present or future claim for liability for any stamp, duty, registration, excise, property and other similar Taxes, including any penalties, additions, fines, surcharges or interest relating thereto, which may be assessed, levied or collected by any jurisdiction in connection with this Agreement, the other Security Documents and the other Finance Documents, the trust created hereunder or the attachment or perfection of the Security Interests granted to the Security Trustee in any Collateral.

any representation, notice or other document which it in good faith believes to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by, or with the authority of, the proper Person; and

The Account Bank may assume (unless it has received a notice from the Security Trustee pursuant to Section 4.6(b)(i) (Control and Investment of Funds in Accounts)) that no Event of Default has occurred and that any proposed withdrawal is permitted by this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, but shall not be obliged to give effect to any notice of withdrawal if to give such notice effect would or might (in its reasonable opinion) breach the terms of this Agreement.

(g)

If the Account Bank receives a notice from the Security Trustee pursuant to Section 4.6(b)(i) (Control and Investment of Funds in Accounts), the Account Bank will disregard any conflicting directions, notices or other documents it receives from the Company until a notice is delivered by the Security Trustee to the Account Bank pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.6(c) (Control and Investment of Funds in Accounts) with respect to the relevant Declared Event(s) of Default.

(h)

The Account Bank shall have no obligation to familiarize itself with and shall have no responsibility with respect to any agreement or document (other than the terms of this Agreement relating to the rights and duties of the Account Bank) relating to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents nor any obligation to inquire whether any notice, certificate, instrument, demand, request, direction, instruction, waiver, receipt, consent, document, communication, statement or calculation is in conformity with the terms of such agreement or document, except those errors manifestly apparent on the face of such document or of which the Account Bank has actual knowledge; provided that nothing herein shall constitute a waiver by the Company or the Secured Parties of any of their rights against the Account Bank as a result of its gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

-124-

9.6

(b)

the collectability of amounts payable under any Finance Document; or

(a)

The Account Bank shall not be liable to any other party for any action taken or not taken by it under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Finance Document unless directly caused by its gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. The Account Bank shall not otherwise be liable or responsible for any liabilities or inconvenience which may result from anything done or omitted to be done by it in connection with this Agreement.

None of the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, or the other Finance Documents shall be construed to require the Account Bank to do anything which may (i) be illegal or contrary to law or regulation or (ii) cause it to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for belief that repayment of such funds or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Account Bank shall be excused from taking any action hereunder in the circumstances described in the preceding sentence.

-125-

9.8

Indemnities

(a)

The Securing Parties agree to indemnify (without duplication in respect of any other indemnity required under Section 12.18 (Other Indemnities) or any other Finance Document) the Account Bank in its individual capacity and its directors, officers, agents, employees and Affiliates for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, judgment, settlement, compromise, damage, penalty, cost, expense or disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Finance Documents, unless arising from the gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of the Account Bank or the Persons that are seeking indemnification as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.8 (Indemnities) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Securing Parties shall contribute the maximum portion that such parties are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by the Account Bank and its directors, officers, agents and employees or any of them.

(b)

Without limiting the liability of the Securing Parties under the Finance Documents, if the Securing Parties fail to comply with their obligations under clause (a) above, each Senior Creditor shall (based on the proportion of indebtedness owed to it by the Company relative to the aggregate indebtedness owed by the Company to all Senior Creditors under the Senior Debt Instruments and Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instruments) indemnify the Account Bank (and its directors, officers, agents, employees and Affiliates), within five Business Days of demand, against any loss, liability, claim, judgment, settlement, compromise, obligation, damage, penalty, cost, expense or disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Account Bank or such related Persons with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, unless arising from the Account Bank’s or such Person’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

(c)

The Securing Parties shall, within five Business Days of demand (but without duplication of indemnification otherwise received by the Account Bank or a

-126-

Senior Creditor from the Company), reimburse each Senior Creditor for any payment properly made by it under clause (b) above upon production of a certificate from each such Senior Creditor setting out the details of such payment.

(d)

The provisions of Section 9.7 (Exclusion of Liability) and this Section 9.8 (Indemnities) shall survive the resignation of the Account Bank pursuant to Section 9.9 (Resignation, Removal and Replacement of Account Bank) and the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement.

(e)

The Company agrees that, subject to Article 4 (Cash Flow and Accounts) and the other terms of this Article 9 (The Account Bank), the Account Bank may act upon any instruction, including any telex, facsimile or email instructions, that are received by the Account Bank from Persons that are or which are reasonably believed by the Account Bank to be authorized by the Company, the Manager or the Security Trustee, as the case may be. The Securing Parties agree to indemnify and hold the Account Bank (and its directors, officers, agents, employees and Affiliates) harmless from any claims by virtue of the Account Bank’s acting upon any instruction, such as any telex, facsimile or email instructions, as such instructions were understood by the Account Bank, except for claims relating solely from the Account Bank’s or such Person’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. The Account Bank shall not be liable for any errors in the transmission or the illegibility of any telexed, telecopied or emailed documents. In the event the Company sends the Account Bank a manually signed confirmation of the previously sent telex, facsimile or email instructions, the Account Bank shall have no duty to compare it against the previous instructions received by the Account Bank nor shall the Account Bank have any responsibility should the contents of the written confirmation differ from the telex, facsimile or email instructions acted upon by the Account Bank.

(f)

In no event shall the Account Bank be liable for any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses and judgments (including legal fees and expenses) sustained by any party arising to it from receiving or transmitting any data from the Company or any Person authorized to act on behalf of the Company (including the Manager and any Person so authorized by the Manager) or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, via any non-secure method of transmission or communication, such as, but without limitation, by facsimile or email, except for any such claims relating solely from the Account Bank’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. The Company accepts that some methods of communication are not secure, and the Account Bank shall incur no liability for receiving instructions from Persons purporting to be, or which instructions appear to be authorized by, the Company or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, via any such non-secure method. The Account Bank is authorized to comply with and rely upon any such notice, instructions or other communications purported to have

-127-

been sent by a Person authorized by the Company or the Security Trustee, as the case may be. The Company shall use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that instructions transmitted to the Account Bank pursuant to this Agreement are complete and correct. Any such instructions shall be conclusively deemed to be valid instructions from the Company or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, to the Account Bank for the purposes of this Agreement. The Account Bank has no duty or obligation to investigate the authenticity or correctness of the matters stated in any instruction, notice or other document from the Company or the Security Trustee, or to confirm that the signatories on the instruction, notice or document were properly appointed.

(g)

If any indemnity furnished to the Account Bank for any purpose shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Account Bank, be insufficient or become impaired, the Account Bank may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Senior Creditor to indemnify the Account Bank against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Senior Creditor’s pro rata share thereof; provided further that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Senior Creditor to indemnify the Account Bank against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement arising from the Account Bank’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

(h)

The Account Bank shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Security Documents or any other Finance Documents if it is prevented from so performing by an act of God or any other force majeure event.

OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECURITY DOCUMENTS

10.1

Nature of Obligations

(a)

This Agreement and the Senior Debt Obligations shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if (and to the extent that) any payment or performance of the Senior Debt Obligations by the Company or any discharge given by a Secured Party (whether in respect of the obligations of the Company or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is rescinded, avoided, voidable, liable to be set aside, reduced or otherwise not properly payable to, or must be returned or restored by the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party (i) as a result of Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization with respect to the Company or any Collateral Party, (ii) upon the dissolution of, or appointment of any intervenor, conservator, trustee or similar official for the Company, any Collateral Party or for any substantial part of the Company’s or any other such Person’s assets, (iii) as a result of any settlement or compromise with any Person (including the Company) in respect of such payment or otherwise, or (iv) as a result of any similar event or otherwise and, in such case:

(i)

the liability of the Company shall continue as if the payment or discharge in the amount so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned had not occurred;

-131-

(ii)

such Senior Debt Obligations shall be reinstated on the same terms and conditions applicable thereto prior to the payment of the rescinded, reduced, restored or returned amount, and shall be deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned; and

(iii)

each Secured Party shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from the Company as if the payment or discharge in the amount so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned had not occurred.

(b)

Subject to Article 11 (Guarantees), the obligations of the Collateral Parties under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Section 10.1 (Nature of Obligations), would reduce, release or prejudice any of such obligations (whether or not known to it or to any Secured Party), including:

(i)

any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of the Senior Debt Obligation (including any increase in the amount thereof);

(ii)

any rescission_; waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Finance Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Senior Debt Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Finance Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security;

(iii)

the release of any other Person under the terms of any agreements or arrangement with any creditor;

(v)

any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Collateral Parties, or any Bankruptcy of the Collateral Parties;

-132-

(vi)

any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any Finance Document, Senior Debt Obligation, Security Interest or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(vii)

any other circumstance whatsoever which may in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Collateral Party as an obligor in respect of the Senior Debt Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Collateral Party for the Senior Debt Obligations, or of such Collateral Party under this Agreement or any other Finance Document or of any other Security Interest granted by any Collateral Party, whether in a Bankruptcy Proceeding or in any other instance;

(viii)

the exercise by any Secured Party of any remedy, power or privilege contained in any Finance Document or available at law, equity or otherwise;

(ix)

any action by the Security Trustee to take and hold security or Collateral for the payment of the Senior Debt Obligations, or to sell, exchange, release, dispose of, or otherwise deal with, any property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or in which the Security Trustee has been granted a Lien, to secure any indebtedness to the Security Trustee of any Securing Party, any of its Affiliates or any other Person party to a Transaction Document;

(x)

any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any of the Senior Debt Obligations for any reason other than payment or the written agreement of the Secured Parties to reduce, limit or terminate such Senior Debt Obligations and each Securing Party hereby waives any right to or claim of, any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence (other than the occurrence of the Discharge Date) affecting, any Senior Debt Obligation of any Securing Party, any Affiliate of such Securing Party or otherwise;

(xi)

the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the Finance Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Senior Debt Obligations to the payment of indebtedness other than the Senior Debt Obligations), even though any Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Senior Debt Obligations;

(xii)

any Bankruptcy of any Securing Party or any other Person;

-133-

(xiii)

any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Securing Party (other than the defense of payment); or

(xiv)

any failure or omission to assert or enforce, or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of any claim or demand or any right, power, remedy (whether arising under any Senior Debt Instrument, any Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Senior Debt Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Senior Debt Obligations.

For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (b) is not intended to vitiate any express provision or written waiver granted by the Senior Creditors under and in accordance with the Finance Documents, in each case in accordance with the express terms (and subject to any conditions or limitations) of such provisions or waivers.

(c)

Each Securing Party waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Government Rules:

(i)

any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any Person, any security which the Security Trustee may hold or any other remedy before making a claim on the Company or any other Securing Party;

(ii)

all rights under any law limiting remedies under an obligation secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on real property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in such mortgage or deed of trust;

(iii)

all rights to require the Security Trustee to give any notices of any kind, including notices of nonpayment, nonperformance, protest, dishonor, default, delinquency or acceleration, or to make any presentments, demands or protests, except as expressly set forth herein or as expressly provided in the Common Terms Agreement or other Finance Documents; and

(iv)

all defenses based on the disability or lack of authority of a Securing Party or any Person, the repudiation of the Finance Documents by Securing Party or any Person, the failure by the Security Trustee or the Secured Parties to enforce any claim against such Securing Party, or the unenforceability in whole or in part of any Finance Documents.

-134-

(d)

Until all amounts which are due and payable by the Company to a Secured Party under or in connection with each Finance Document have been irrevocably paid in full, each such Secured Party (and any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(i)

refrain from applying or enforcing any other monies, security or rights held or received by that Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and otherwise as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise), and the Company shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(ii)

hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any monies received from the Company or on account of the Company’s liability under the Finance Documents.

(e)

Until all amounts which may be, or become, payable by the Company under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless each of the Senior Creditor Group Representatives otherwise directs, a Securing Party shall not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Secured Party.

(f)

Each Securing Party acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, its liability and recourse to it and its assets hereunder and under such other Finance Documents shall include any of its assets, wheresoever located.

10.2

Suspense Account

Unless instructed to the contrary in accordance with Section 6.3 (Conduct of Security Enforcement Action) and subject to Section 6.7 (Enforcement Proceeds Account), all monies received, recovered or realized by the Security Trustee under the Finance Documents (including prior to or following any conversion of currency) may, in the discretion of the Security Trustee, be credited to a suspense account and held therein for so long as the Security Trustee may reasonably determine pending their conversion into another currency and/or application from time to time in or towards satisfaction of the Senior Debt Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.3

Limitation on Recourse

(a)

The Senior Debt Obligations are full recourse obligations of the Securing Parties, but are non-recourse to all Affiliates of the Securing Parties and their respective

-135-

direct and indirect members (including the Sponsor and its respective Affiliates), controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees or agents (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Persons”) except as set forth in clause (b) below.

(b)

Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no claim against or recourse to any of the Non-Recourse Persons for the payment or performance of the Senior Debt Obligations or other obligations of the Securing Parties under the Finance Documents, except for (i) Holdco, but solely to the extent of its obligations under the Security Documents and Direct Agreement(s) to which it is party and (ii) any claim against a Non-Recourse Person for the recovery of any payment made to such Non-Recourse Person in breach of any of the Finance Documents. This clause (b) is not intended to impair any contractual obligations that any Non-Recourse Person has undertaken for the benefit of any Senior Creditors under any Finance Document.

(c)

Nothing in this Section 10.3 (Limitation on Recourse) shall:

(i)

affect or diminish or constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any of the Senior Debt Obligations, or of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement or any other Finance Document, and the same shall continue until the Discharge Date or, if reinstated in accordance with Section 10.1(a) (Nature of Obligations), until fully paid in US Dollars, discharged, observed or performed;

(ii)

limit or restrict the right of the Secured Parties to name a Securing Party or any other Person as a defendant in any action or suit for a judicial foreclosure or for the exercise of any remedy under or with respect to this Agreement or any other Finance Document, or for injunction or specific performance, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment shall be enforced against any Non-Recourse Person except as set forth in this Section 10.3 (Limitation on Recourse);

(iii)

prevent the commencing of any action, suit or proceeding in respect of, or causing legal papers to be served upon any Person for the purpose of obtaining jurisdiction over, a Securing Party or any other Person;

-136-

(v)

affect or diminish or constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any specific written obligation, covenant or agreement in respect of any security interest granted by a Non-Recourse Person in a Finance Document to which any Non-Recourse Person is a party or as security for the obligations of the Securing Parties.

10.4

No Interference; Payment Over; Exculpatory Provisions

(a)

Each Senior Creditor agrees that:

(i)

it shall not challenge or question or support any other Person in challenging or questioning in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Obligations or any Finance Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any Finance Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by other provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Senior Creditor from challenging or questioning the validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Obligations constituting unmatured interest or the validity of any Lien relating thereto pursuant to Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

(ii)

it shall not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral by the Security Trustee;

(iii)

except as provided herein and in the other Security Documents, it shall have no right to and shall not otherwise (A) direct the Security Trustee or any other Senior Creditor to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Common Collateral or (B) consent to, or object to, the exercise by, or any forbearance from exercising by, the Security Trustee or any other Senior Creditor represented by it of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Collateral;

(iv)

it shall not institute any suit or assert in any suit, Bankruptcy Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against the Security Trustee or any other Senior Creditor represented by it seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Collateral; and

(v)

it shall not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Security Trustee or any other

-137-

Senior Creditor (A) to enforce this Agreement and the other Finance Documents or (B) to contest or support any other Person in contesting the enforceability of any Lien purporting to secure obligations not constituting Senior Debt Obligations.

(b)

Each Senior Creditor hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Common Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any Common Collateral pursuant to any Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the discharge of the Senior Debt Obligations in accordance with Section 12.1 (Termination), it shall hold such Common Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other Senior Creditors having a Security Interest in such Common Collateral and promptly transfer any such Common Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Security Trustee, to be distributed by the Security Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.7 (Enforcement Proceeds Account) hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Common Collateral purchased by any Senior Creditor for cash pursuant to any exercise of remedies permitted hereunder.

(c)

None of the Security Trustee, Intercreditor Agent, Account Bank, Senior Creditor Group Representatives or any Senior Creditor shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Security Trustee, Intercreditor Agent, Account Bank, Senior Creditor Group Representatives or any Senior Creditor with respect to any Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

10.5

Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy

(a)

This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Bankruptcy Proceeding or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against any Collateral Party.

(b)

If any Collateral Party shall become subject to a Bankruptcy Proceeding and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each Senior Creditor (other than any Controlling Claimholder) agrees as follows:

(i)

adequate notice to a Senior Creditor for such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral shall be deemed delivered to such Senior Creditor if such Senior Creditor receives notice five Business Days prior to the hearing to approve such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral on an interim basis and at least fifteen days in advance of the hearing to approve such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral on a final basis; and

-138-

(ii)

it will not raise any objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Common Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Common Collateral, unless the Controlling Claimholders shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (A) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Common Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Claimholders, each Non-Controlling Claimholder will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Common Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Claimholders (other than any Liens of any Senior Creditors constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (B) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Common Collateral granted to secure the Senior Debt Obligations of the Controlling Claimholders, each Non-Controlling Claimholder will confirm the priorities with respect to such Common Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (w) the Senior Creditors retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Common Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Senior Creditors (other than any Liens of the Senior Creditors constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Proceeding, (x) the Senior Creditors are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Senior Creditors as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the Senior Creditors as set forth in this Agreement (other than any Liens of any Senior Creditors constituting DIP Financing Liens), (y) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Senior Debt Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 6.7 (Enforcement Proceeds Account) of this Agreement, and (z) if any Senior Creditors are granted adequate protection with respect to the Senior Creditors subject hereto, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 6.7 (Enforcement Proceeds Account) of this Agreement; provided that the Senior Creditors shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Senior Creditors that shall not constitute Common Collateral; provided further that the Senior Creditors receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Senior Creditor receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Senior Creditors in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

-139-

Nothing in this Section 10.5(b) limits or impairs the rights of the Senior Creditors to object to any motion regarding DIP Financing (including a DIP Financing proposed by one or more Senior Creditors) or cash collateral to the extent that (1) the objection could be asserted in a Bankruptcy Proceeding by unsecured creditors generally, is consistent with the other terms of this Section 10.5(b), and is not based on the status of a Senior Creditor as holder of a Lien, or (2) the DIP Financing does not meet the conditions of this Section 10.5(b).

(c)

If any Senior Creditor is granted adequate protection (A) in the form of Liens on any additional collateral, then each other Senior Creditor shall be entitled to seek, and each Senior Creditor will consent and not object to, adequate protection in the form of Liens on such additional collateral with the same priority vis-à-vis the Senior Creditors as set forth in this Agreement, (B) in the form of a superpriority or other administrative claim, then each other Senior Creditor shall be entitled to seek, and each Senior Creditor will consent and not object to, adequate protection in the form of a pari passu superpriority or administrative claim or (C) in the form of periodic or other cash payments, then the proceeds of such adequate protection must be applied to all Senior Debt Obligations pursuant to Section 6.7 (Enforcement Proceeds Account).

11.

GUARANTEES

11.1

Guarantor Obligations

Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Security Trustee, for the ratable benefit of each Secured Party and their respective successors and permitted endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Company when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Senior Debt Obligations under the Facility Agreements and other Finance Documents (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision in any applicable jurisdiction).

(a)

[Reserved].

(b)

Each Guarantor agrees that the Senior Debt 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 this Article 11 (Guarantees) or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.

-140-

(c)

Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 7.2(c) (Modification Approval Levels – Release of Collateral, Security Interests or Guarantees), the guarantee contained in this Article 11 (Guarantees) shall remain in full force and effect, with respect to each Secured Party, until all Senior Debt Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article 11 (Guarantees) shall have been satisfied by payment in full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this guarantee in respect of obligations under future transactions that constitute Senior Debt Obligations.

(d)

No payment made by any of the Securing Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from any of the Securing Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Senior Debt Obligations under the Finance Documents shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of such Senior Debt Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of such Senior Debt Obligations), remain liable for such Senior Debt Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until such Senior Debt Obligations are paid in full.

11.2

Right of Contribution

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.4 (No Subrogation) below. The provisions of this Article 11 (Guarantees) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Secured Party, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to such Secured Party for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

11.3

Payment by Guarantors

Subject to Section 11.2 (Right of Contribution), each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Senior Debt Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) or any equivalent provision in any applicable

-141-

jurisdiction), each Guarantor will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Security Trustee for the ratable benefit of Secured Parties, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Senior Debt then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on Senior Debt Obligations (including interest which, but for the Company becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar legislation in any jurisdiction, would have accrued on such Senior Debt Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Senior Debt Obligations then owed to the Secured Parties as aforesaid.

11.4

No Subrogation

Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Secured Party against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Senior Debt Obligations under any Senior Debt Instrument, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Secured Parties by the Company on account of the Senior Debt Obligations are paid in full (as shown by payoff letter pursuant to Section 12.1 (Termination)). If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Senior Debt Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Security Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to Security Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Security Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Senior Debt Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Security Trustee may determine pursuant to Section 2.3 (Payments and Prepayments).

11.5

Amendments, etc. with respect to the Senior Debt 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:

(a)

any demand for payment of any of the Senior Debt Obligations made by the Security Trustee may be rescinded by the Security Trustee in accordance with the Finance Documents and any such Senior Debt Obligations continued;

(b)

the Senior Debt 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, substituted or released by the Security Trustee or any Secured Party; and

-142-

(c)

this Agreement and the other Finance Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part pursuant to their terms, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Facility Agent or Facility Lender for the payment of such Senior Debt Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.

11.6

Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional

(a)

The Senior Debt Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article 11 (Guarantees); and all dealings between the Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article 11 (Guarantees). Each Guarantor waives:

(i)

any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Debt Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Article 11 (Guarantees) or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article 11 (Guarantees);

(ii)

diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, protest for nonpayment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Securing Parties with respect to such Senior Debt Obligations;

(iii)

each and any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (A) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Senior Debt Obligations or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any Security Interest, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of any Securing Party or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever;

(iv)

any defense arising by reason of the lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Senior Debt Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Senior Debt Obligations;

-143-

(v)

any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

(vi)

any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Senior Debt Obligations, except behavior which amounts to fraud, gross negligence or bad faith;

(vii)

(A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, and (C) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto;

(viii)

notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, under any Finance Documents or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Senior Debt Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in clause (c) below and any right to consent to any thereof; and

(ix)

any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

(b)

Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Article 11 (Guarantees) shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to:

(i)

the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Finance Document, any of such Senior Debt 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 any Secured Party;

(ii)

any defense, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any other Person against any Secured Party; or

(iii)

any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or Knowledge of the Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or

-144-

might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for such Senior Debt Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article 11 (Guarantees), in a Bankruptcy Proceeding or in any other instance.

(c)

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor, whether or not any action is brought against the Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Company is joined in any such action or actions. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Security Trustee 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 any of the Securing Parties or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for such Senior Debt Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Securing Party 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 any other Securing Party 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 any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(d)

In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(i)

The Security Trustee may enforce this guarantee upon the occurrence of a Declared Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Company and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Declared Event of Default; and

(ii)

The Security Trustee, on instructions of the Secured Parties as provided herein, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (A) subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, enforce and apply any Security Interest now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of the Secured Party in respect hereof or the Senior Debt Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Secured Party may have against any such Security

-145-

Interest, in each case as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such Security Interest pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any other Securing Party or any Security Interest for the Senior Debt Obligations; and (B) exercise any other rights available to it under the Finance Documents.

11.7

Authority of Guarantors or Company

It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor of the Company or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

11.8

Bankruptcy

(a)

So long as any Senior Debt Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Secured Parties, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any Bankruptcy Proceeding of or against the Company or any other Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Bankruptcy Proceeding the Guarantors may file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Senior Debt Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, terminated or, subject to the applicability of a stay in connection with a Bankruptcy Proceeding, deferred or suspended by any Bankruptcy of any other Securing Party or by any defense which any other Securing Party may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any Bankruptcy Proceeding.

(b)

Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Senior Debt Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any Bankruptcy of any Securing Party (or, if interest on any portion of such Senior Debt Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such Bankruptcy Proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of such Senior Debt Obligations if such Bankruptcy Proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in such Senior Debt Obligations. The Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party, or allow the claim of the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such Bankruptcy Proceeding is commenced.

-146-

(c)

If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Company under this Agreement or any other Finance Document is stayed upon the Bankruptcy of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or any other Finance Document shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Security Trustee subject to the applicability of any stay in connection with a Bankruptcy Proceeding.

11.9

Release

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Finance Document, the guarantees in this Article 11 (Guarantees) are automatically released on the Discharge Date in respect of all Senior Debt Obligations and the Security Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party except as expressly required by this Agreement) to take any action requested by the Company having the effect of releasing any guarantee of a Guarantor to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Finance Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 7.2(c) (Modification Approval Levels – Release of Collateral, Security Interests or Guarantees).

(b)

If all of the Guarantor Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, then the guarantee of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any other Person effective as of the time of such asset sale.

11.10

Reinstatement

Each Guarantor agrees that the guarantee contained in this Article 11 (Guarantees) shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Senior Debt Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the Bankruptcy of any Securing Party or in any of the circumstances described in Section 10.1(a) (Nature of Obligations), all as though such payments had not been made.

11.11

Information

Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the other Securing Parties’ financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Debt Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that no Secured Party will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks or to disclose or discuss with any

-147-

Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Company. Any Advance may be made to the Company or continued from time to time, and any Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instruments may be entered into from time to time, in each^- case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Company at the time of any such grant, continuation or Advance, or at the time such Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instrument is entered into, as the case^-may be. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Company and its ability to perform its obligations under the Finance Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Debt Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Company now known or hereafter known by any Secured Party.

11.12

Instrument for Payment of Money

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article 11 (Guarantees) constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Security Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

11.13

Limitation on Guarantee Obligations

In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and under the other Finance Documents would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability hereunder or under any of the other Finance Documents), then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any other Securing Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.2 (Right of Contribution)) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

11.14

Swap Obligations

(a)

Excluded Swap Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but after taking into account clause (b) below, no Securing Party shall be obligated to provide a guarantee or grant security in respect of an Excluded Swap Obligation.

-148-

(b)

Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Party hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Securing Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement and otherwise under the Finance Documents in respect of Swap Obligations; provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Party shall only be liable under this clause (b) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this clause (b), or otherwise under this Agreement and otherwise under the Finance Documents, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. The obligations of each Qualified ECP Party under this clause (b) shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge Date. Each Qualified ECP Party intends that this clause (b) constitute, and this clause (b) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Securing Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

12.2

Waiver of Immunity

To the extent that any party hereto has or hereafter may acquire, or be entitled to claim for itself or its assets, any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its assets, it hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Finance Documents to which it is a party and all other documents to be executed and delivered in connection with the Finance Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated thereby and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 12.2 (Waiver of Immunity) shall be effective to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

12.3

Judgment Currency

In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due under this Agreement or any other Finance Document that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than US Dollars, the Securing Parties shall indemnify each Secured Party against any loss incurred by it as a result of any variation as between (a) the rate of exchange at which the US Dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (b) the rate of exchange on the Business Day following receipt by such Secured Party of any sum adjudged to be due under the Finance Documents, as quoted by the Security Trustee or by a known dealer in the Judgment Currency that is designated by the Security Trustee, at which such Secured Party is able to purchase US Dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such Secured Party. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Securing Parties and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into US Dollars.

12.4

Severability

Any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any circumstance that is illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable (to any extent) in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining terms or provisions hereof or the application of such term or provision to circumstances other than those to which it is held illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable. Any such illegality, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction and the parties hereto shall enter into good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal, prohibited, or unenforceable term or provision with a view to obtaining the same commercial effect as this Agreement would have had if such term or

-150-

provision had been legal, valid, and enforceable. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, the parties hereto waive any provision of law that renders any term or provision of this Agreement illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

12.5

This Agreement (including Schedules), the Security Documents and the other Finance Documents (together with any other agreements or documents referred to or incorporated by reference therein) constitute the entire agreement and understanding, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings (both written and oral), between or among any of the parties hereto relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(c)

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Finance Document, no failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or any other Finance Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any such document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
