2
in any calendar quarter due to there being Excess Collateral solely as a result of interest and/or other amounts being credited to the Account
SECTION 7. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
7.1 Certain Remedies. At any time, at the election of the Secured Parties, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (a) the Secured Parties may direct the Depositary Bank to transfer to them (as directed by the Secured Parties) all or any part of the funds then held in the Account and the Secured Parties may then apply all or any part of the Collateral in payment of the Obligations in the following order: first, to pay unpaid fees and expenses due and owing to such Secured Party; second, for application by such Secured Party towards payment of any matured amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations; and third, any balance remaining after the outstanding matured Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and in excess of the Required Collateral Amount shall be paid over to Grantor or to whomsoever may be entitled thereto; and (b) the Secured Parties may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law.
7.2 Secured Party’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement; provided that such Secured Party shall not exercise such rights except during the continuance of an Event of Default. Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
7.3 The Secured Parties’ sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as such Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on each Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect such Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon either Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 8. DEPOSITARY BANK ACKNOWLEDGMENT
By executing this Agreement, the Depositary Bank (a) is deemed to have received notice of the security interest created over the Collateral pursuant hereto and the terms set out herein; (b) accepts the instructions and authorization contained herein (including in Section 9 below) and undertakes to act in accordance with and to comply with the terms thereof; and (c) represents, warrants and undertakes to the Secured Parties that: (i) except for Permitted Liens, no Lien that it is aware of exists on, over or with respect to the Account or any other Collateral or any part thereof; and (ii) except for the claims and interest of the Secured Parties, as secured party, and of Grantor, as customer, in the Account, it has not, as the date hereof, received any notice that any third party has or will have any right or interest whatsoever in, or has made or will be making any claim or demand or take any action whatsoever against or in respect of, the Account or any other Collateral or any part thereof, and if, after the date hereof, it receives any such notice, it shall immediately give written notice thereof to the Secured Parties.
SECTION 9. INSTRUCTIONS
9.1 Instructions. Each of Grantor and the Secured Parties irrevocably and unconditionally instructs the Depositary Bank (notwithstanding any previous instructions to the contrary):
3
(a) to disclose to any Secured Party, without any reference to or further authority from the other Secured Party or Grantor and without any inquiry by the Depositary Bank as to the justification for such disclosure, such information relating to the Account or other Collateral as such Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, request the Depositary Bank to disclose to it; and
(b) to comply with the terms of any written instructions (including any instructions as to the payment of the Collateral) in any way relating or purporting to relate to the Account or the other Collateral which the Depositary Bank may receive at any time and from time to time from the Secured Parties without any reference to or further authority from the Secured Parties or Grantor and without any inquiry by the Depositary Bank as to the justification therefor or the validity thereof; provided that the Secured Parties agrees with Grantor that it shall not give any such instructions to the Depositary Bank unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Annex A to Security Agreement (MMDA Investment Option)
Bank’s Money Market Deposit Account Agreement
00 Xxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000
We are pleased to provide you with a Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (the “Depositary Bank”) non-personal Money Market Deposit Account (“MMDA”). A non-personal MMDA, as defined by Federal Reserve Regulation D, is classified as a savings account. This account has been designated to bear interest in accordance with the interest calculation formula set forth below. Interest will be credited on a monthly basis, on the first business day of the following month.
Interest = Collected Balances (end-of-day) x Interest Rate / 360 days
The amount of funds to be deposited in the account (the “Deposit Amount”), the time period during which such funds shall remain on deposit in the account (the “Deposit Term”), and the rate of interest applicable to the account (the “Interest Rate”) shall be as separately agreed between you and the Depositary Bank, including through electronic communications via email. On days of extreme rate or balance volatility, the Depositary Bank may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Interest Rate.
The Depositary Bank is required by law to reserve the right to require seven days written notice of withdrawal prior to making any withdrawals or transfers from an MMDA. At this time, we do not require any such notice. Should that policy change, you will be notified. Additional deposits to your account may be made in any amount and at any time.
There is no limit on transfers from your account to another account you have with us when made by mail, messenger or in person. There is no limit on withdrawals (payments made directly to you) from your account when made by mail, messenger or in person. All other transfers of funds from your account are limited to a maximum of six transfers per calendar month, of which only three of these transfers may be made by check. Such other transfers include pre-authorized or automatic transfers. Federal regulations require that these transfer limitations be observed. Monthly statements and written notification of excessive transactions will be made available to you. If withdrawal limits are exceeded by you after notification, your account balance will be transferred to a transaction account (i.e. Demand Deposit Account – DDA), which is non-interest bearing.
The account is subject to the Depositary Bank’s terms and conditions as well as the Depositary Bank’s schedule of service charges as in effect from time-to-time. The account and this Money Market Deposit Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.
