AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE COMMITMENT
Section 2.01 Advances. The Liquidity Provider hereby
irrevocably agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make
Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the
period from the Effective Date until 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
Expiry Date (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Provider shall be earlier
terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 2.04) in an aggregate amount
at any time outstanding not to exceed the Commitment.
Section 2.02 Making the Advances. (a) Each "Interest
Advance" shall be made in a single Borrowing by delivery to the Liquidity
Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the
form of Annex I, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, such Interest
Advance in an amount not exceeding the Interest Period Available Amount at such
time and shall be used solely for the payment when due of interest on the Class
A Certificates at the Stated Interest Rate therefor in accordance with Section
3.6(a) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Interest Advance made hereunder
shall automatically reduce the Available Commitment and the amount available to
be borrowed hereunder by subsequent Advances by the amount of such Interest
Advance (subject to reinstatement as provided in the next sentence). Upon
repayment to the Liquidity Provider in full of the amount of any Interest
Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), together with accrued interest
thereon (as provided herein), the Available Commitment shall be reinstated by
the amount of such repaid Interest Advance; provided, however, that the
Available Commitment shall not be so reinstated at any time if (i) a Triggering
Event shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) there is a Performing Note
Deficiency.
(b) A "Downgrade Advance" shall be made in a single
Borrowing upon a downgrading of the Liquidity Provider's long-term unsecured
debt rating issued by any Rating Agency below the Threshold Rating (as provided
for in Section 3.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement) unless a Replacement
Primary Liquidity Facility shall have been delivered to the Borrower in
accordance with said Section 3.6(c), by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex
II, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the
Remaining Commitment Amount at such time (but not to exceed the Available
Commitment at such time), and shall be used to fund the Class A Cash Collateral
Account in accordance with Section 3.6(f). Upon such downgrading, the
Liquidity Provider shall promptly deliver notice thereof to the Borrower, the
Trustee and United.
(c) A "Final Advance" shall be made in a single Borrowing
upon the receipt by the Borrower of a Termination Notice from the Liquidity
Provider pursuant to Section 6.01, by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially
7
12
the form of Annex III, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an
amount equal to the Remaining Commitment Amount at such time (but not to exceed
the Available Commitment at such time), and shall be used to fund the Class A
Cash Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.6(i) of the Intercreditor
Agreement).
(d) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice in writing (a
"Notice of Borrowing") in substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a),
2.02(b) or 2.02(c), as the case may be, given not later than 12:00 Noon
(Chicago time) on the second Business Day prior to the day of the proposed
Borrowing by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider. Upon satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested
Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall, before 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on
the date of such Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by the
Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing, make available for the account of its
Lending Office, in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount
of such Borrowing to be paid to the Borrower in accordance with its payment
instructions. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect
of any Borrowing after 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on a Business Day, the
Liquidity Provider shall, before 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the third
Business Day following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on
such later Business Day specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing,
make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, in
U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Borrowing.
Payments of proceeds of a Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Borrower in accordance with such wire
transfer instructions as the Borrower shall furnish from time to time to the
Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
(e) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to
a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions,
the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder
with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not
thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of
such Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other person (including the
holder of any Class A Certificate or the Trustee) who makes to the Trustee or
the Borrower a demand for payment with respect to any Class A Certificate.
Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b) or Section
2.02(c) to fund the Class A Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider
shall have no interest in or rights to the Class A Cash Collateral Account,
such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A
Cash Collateral Account; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect
or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions
contemplated by Section 3.6(e) or (f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By
paying to the Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes
no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or
sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and
requested.
Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

13
Section 2.04 Automatic Adjustments and Termination of the
Commitment.
(a) Automatic Adjustments. Promptly following each date
on which the Required Amount is reduced or increased, as the case may be, as a
result of a reduction or increase, respectively, in the Pool Balance of the
Class A Certificates or otherwise, the Commitment shall automatically be
reduced or increased to an amount determined in accordance with the following
formula (provided that the Commitment shall in no event exceed the Initial
Commitment): the product of (x) 1.5, multiplied by, (y) the Capped Interest
Rate, multiplied by (z) the Pool Balance of the Class A Certificates (as
calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such
automatic reduction or increase of the Commitment to the Liquidity Provider
within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any
such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction or increase of the
Commitment.
(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Downgrade
Advance or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date,
the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder
shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be
entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder.
Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final
Advance. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay,
or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider on each date on which the
Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an
amount equal to (a) the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid,
is referred to herein as an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount
of each such Unpaid Advance as provided in Section 3.07. Subject to Sections
2.06, 2.07 and 2.09, unless otherwise waived by the Liquidity Provider, the
Borrower shall be obligated, without notice of an Advance or demand for
repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby
waived by the Borrower), to repay the Liquidity Provider for all Advances on
the same day as made. The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the
repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such
Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value
given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.
Section 2.06 Repayments of Downgrade Advances. (a)
Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Downgrade Advance shall be deposited
in the Class A Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class A
Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.6(c) and (f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider,
on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution
Date after the making of a Downgrade Advance, interest on the principal amount
of any such Downgrade Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however,
that amounts in respect of a Downgrade Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash
Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement
(the amount of any such withdrawal being, an "Applied Downgrade Advance") shall
be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of
determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; and
provided, further, that if, following the making of a Downgrade Advance, the
Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to
Section 6.01, such Downgrade
9
14
Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for
purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable
thereon. Immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A Cash
Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount and
Commitment, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the
Downgrade Advances in a principal amount equal to the amount of such reduction,
plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07.
Immediately upon any increase in the Required Amount and Commitment, the
Liquidity Provider shall advance to the Borrower as a portion of the Downgrade
Advances, for deposit into the Class A Cash Collateral Account, a principal
amount equal to the amount of such increase.
(b) At any time when an Applied Downgrade Advance (or any
portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A Cash
Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause third of Section 2.4(b) of
the Intercreditor Agreement, clause third of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor
Agreement or clause fourth of Section 3.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any
such amount being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing the
balance thereof up to the amount of the Commitment, (i) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Applied Downgrade Advances shall be
automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the
principal amount of the outstanding Downgrade Advance shall be automatically
increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Primary Liquidity
Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of
the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A Cash
Collateral Account after giving effect to any application of funds therefrom to
any payment of interest on the Class A Certificates on the date of such
replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the
extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity Provider
all amounts owing to it hereunder.
Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the
Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the
Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement
provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to
the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid
to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider in the
order of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III
of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from
time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and
paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure
by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect
the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
10
15
Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All
payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only
from amounts received by it that constitute Scheduled Payments or Special
Payments or payments under Section 7(c) of the Leased Aircraft Participation
Agreement, Section 5(b) of the Owned Participation Agreement and Section 9 of
the Note Purchase Agreement, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall
have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make
payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the
priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The
Liquidity Provider agrees that it shall look solely to such amounts to the
extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor
Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity,
is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this
Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Intercreditor
Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account shall be
available to the Borrower to make payments only to the extent and for the
purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement.
ARTICLE III
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
Section 3.01 Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to
the Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to
compensate the Liquidity Provider for any costs incurred by the Liquidity
Provider which are attributable to its making or maintaining any LIBOR Advances
hereunder or its obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any
reduction in any amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this
Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or
such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable
being herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any change after the
date of this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, or municipal, or any foreign
laws or regulations, or the adoption or making after such date of any
interpretation, regulation, directive, guideline, requirement or request
whether or not having the force of law, by any court or governmental or
monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (a
"Regulatory Change"), which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts
payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such
Advances (other than Excluded Taxes or any taxes described in Section 3.03); or
(2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or
similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of,
or any deposits with other liabilities of, the Liquidity Provider (including
any such Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR or
related definitions). The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts
(consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the
jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, any amount payable under this Section 3.01 that
may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the
Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.
11
16
The Liquidity Provider shall notify the Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement that shall entitle the Liquidity
Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such
compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation
of the amounts owed under this Section 3.01. Determinations by the Liquidity
Provider for purposes of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory
Change on its costs of making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable
by it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required to
compensate the Liquidity Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be
prima facie evidence of the amount owed under this Section 3.01.
Section 3.02 Capital Adequacy. If (1) compliance with any
judicial, administrative or other governmental interpretation of any law or
regulation or (2) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation
controlling the Liquidity Provider with any guideline or request from any
central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force
of law) has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any
corporation controlling the Liquidity Provider, and such increase is based upon
the Liquidity Provider's obligations hereunder and other similar obligations,
the Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amount as
shall be reasonably allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the
Borrower hereunder. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts
(consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the
jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, any amount payable under this Section 3.02 that
may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the
Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider shall notify the Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement that shall entitle the Liquidity
Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such
compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation
of the amounts owed under this Section 3.02. Determinations by the Liquidity
Provider for purposes of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the
amount of capital required to be maintained by the bank and of the amount
allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder
shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section 3.02.
Section 3.03 Payments Free of Deductions. All payments
made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and
without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes, excluding Excluded Taxes
(such non-excluded taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as
"Non-Excluded Taxes"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld
or deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this
Agreement, the Borrower shall (a) within the time prescribed therefor by
applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full
amount of any such Non-Excluded Taxes (and any additional Non-Excluded Taxes in
respect of the payment required under clause (b) below) and make such reports
or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner
prescribed by applicable law, and (b) pay to the Liquidity Provider an
additional amount which (after deduction of all such
12
17
Non-Excluded Taxes) shall be sufficient to yield to the Liquidity Provider the
full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or
deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Liquidity Provider the original or a
certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the
Non-Excluded Taxes applicable to such payment. The Liquidity Provider agrees
to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such
change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional
amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of
the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the
Liquidity Provider or require the Liquidity Provider to incur any cost or
expenses for which it is not indemnified by the Borrower. The Liquidity
Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such certificates and documents as may
be reasonably requested by the Borrower and required by applicable law to
establish that payments hereunder are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced
rate of) withholding Tax.
Section 3.04 Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause
to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to
cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00
P.M. (Chicago time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such
payments in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Liquidity
Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the office of
Citibank, N.A. New York City, for credit to KfW, Account No. 000-000-00.
Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest
based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR shall
be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number
of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest is payable.
Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any
payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment
of interest or fees, as the case may be. If any payment in respect of interest
on an Advance is so deferred to the next Business Day, such deferral shall not
delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such
Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest
shall be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such
Advance.
Section 3.07 Interest. (a) The Borrower shall pay, or
shall cause to be paid, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each
Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an
Applied Downgrade Advance, from and including the date on which the amount
thereof was withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account to pay interest
on the Class A Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount
shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Downgrade Advance, the
date on which the Class A Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in
respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder (whether fees,
commissions, expenses or other amounts or, installments of interest on Advances
or any such other
13
18
amount) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date
such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined
below) for such Advance or such other amount as in effect for such day, but in
no event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law; provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise
applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then any subsequent reduction in such
interest rate shall not reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this
Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total
amount of interest accrued equals the amount of interest that would have
accrued if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section
3.07 had at all times been in effect. Nothing contained in this Section 3.07
shall require the Borrower to pay any amount under this Section 3.07 other than
to the extent the Borrower shall have funds available therefor.
(b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance
shall be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this
Section or Section 3.10. Each Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the
period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day
following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such
Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance.
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each
Interest Period at the LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such
Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR
Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the
extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at the
Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in
arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of
principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution
Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the
amount of principal repaid).
(e) Each Downgrade Advance other than an Applied
Downgrade Advance shall bear interest during the period from and including the
date of the making of such Downgrade Advance through but excluding the Expiry
Date (or, if earlier, the date of repayment thereof or of conversion thereof
into a Final Advance), in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts
on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account for such period, payable in
arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.
(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether
fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, installments of interest on Advances) shall bear interest at
the Base Rate plus 1.00% per annum.
14
19
(g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective
immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect
to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable
Liquidity Rate."
Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section
5.02, from time to time and subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.9 of the Intercreditor
Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and
time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Borrower in
substantially the form of Annex V (a "Notice of Replacement Borrower")
delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor
Borrower designated therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all
purposes hereunder.
Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower
shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity
Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable
opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR
Advance (but excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance, any conversion of a
LIBOR Advance to a Base Rate Advance or a conversion of a LIBOR
Advance to an Advance bearing interest in accordance with Section
3.07(e), in any case on a date other than the last day of the Interest
Period for such Advance; or
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance
on the date for Borrowing specified in the relevant notice under
Section 2.02.
Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity
Provider (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its
Lending Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the
Borrower by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the
LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon
demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such
request, in the judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate
repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire after
the effective date of any such change or request.

by the Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, the Liquidity Provider's failure to make lawful payment
hereunder after the delivery to it by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing
complying with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its
officers, employees, directors or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible in
any respect for (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission,
dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in
connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder,
or (ii) any action, inaction or omission which may be taken by it in good
faith, absent willful misconduct or negligence (except to the extent that such
conduct would otherwise be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.05, in which case
gross negligence shall apply) (in which event the extent of the Liquidity
Provider's potential liability to the Borrower shall be limited as set forth in
the preceding paragraph), in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of
Borrowing.

agrees to pay, or cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later
date or dates on which the Liquidity Provider shall make demand, all reasonable

or other process or decree restraining or seeking to restrain the Liquidity
Provider from paying any amount under this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement or any other Operative Document or otherwise affecting the
application of funds in the Cash Collateral Accounts. In addition, the
Borrower shall pay any and all recording, stamp and other similar taxes and
fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution,
delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement any other Operative Agreement

Section 7.08 Binding Effect; Participations. (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and
the Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and assigns, except that
neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section
7.08) nor the Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or
any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other party,
subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may
grant participations herein or in any of its rights or security hereunder and
under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons as the Liquidity Provider
may in its sole discretion select, subject to the requirements of Section
7.08(b). No such participation by the Liquidity Provider, however, shall
relieve the Liquidity Provider of its obligations hereunder. In connection
with any participation or any proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider
may disclose to the participant or the proposed participant any information
that the Borrower is required to deliver or to disclose to the Liquidity
Provider pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
the Liquidity Provider's source of funds may derive in part from its
participants. Accordingly, references in this Agreement and the other
Operative Agreements to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy
requirements, increased costs, reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to
the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of each of its
participants (subject, in each case, to the maximum amount that would have been
incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly if the Liquidity
Provider, rather than the participant, had held the interest participated).
(b) If, pursuant to Section 7.08(a) above, the Liquidity
Provider sells any participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity
(each, a "Participating Institution"), then, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such participation, the Participating Institution shall (i)
represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider
and the Borrower) either (A) that it is incorporated under the laws of the
United States or a state thereof or (B) that under applicable law and treaties,
no taxes shall be required to be withheld by the Borrower or the Liquidity
Provider with respect to any payments to be made to such Participating
Institution in respect of this Agreement, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity
Provider and the Borrower either (x) a statement that it is incorporated under
the laws of the United States or a state thereof or (y) if it is not so
incorporated, two copies of a properly completed United States Internal Revenue
Service Form 4224 or Form 1001, as appropriate, or other applicable form,
certificate or document
22
27
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such
Participating Institution's entitlement to a complete exemption from United
States federal withholding tax in respect to any and all payments to be made
hereunder, and (iii) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the
Borrower) to provide the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a new Form 4224 or
Form 1001, as appropriate, (A) on or before the date that any such form expires
or becomes obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change
in the most recent form previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately
following due date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the
case of a Form 1001 or Form 4224 that such Participating Institution is
entitled to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on
payments under this Agreement. Unless the Borrower has received forms or other
documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by applicable law) from
the Participating Institution indicating that payments hereunder are not
subject to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower shall withhold
taxes as required by law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate
without any obligation to make additional payments under Section 3.03.
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section
7.08, the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the
Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury
as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal
Reserve Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances
made by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect
of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment
shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.
Section 7.09 Severability. Any provision of this
Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating
the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or
legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 7.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
(WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF (OTHER THAN

which the Liquidity Provider shall have been notified pursuant
thereto; and
(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the
right to effect service of process in any other manner
permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other
jurisdiction.
(b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY
AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS
BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims,
breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The
Borrower and the Liquidity Provider each warrant and represent that it has
reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and
voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal
counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR
IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,
SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.
(c) The Liquidity Provider hereby waives any immunity it
may have from the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States or of any
State and waives any immunity any of its properties located in the United
States may have from attachment or execution upon a judgment entered by any
such court under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 or
