Undertaking Fee to the account of the Payment Undertaking Issuer, Account No.

application, or the effects of the application, of any bankruptcy law or
regulation, the order of any court in any bankruptcy proceeding, the bankruptcy
or insolvency of or any other matter affecting any party hereto or the Facility
Lessee or any other Person, and such payments shall be made by the Payment
Undertaking Issuer in accordance with the terms hereof.
3
(d) Waiver of Setoff. The Payment Undertaking Issuer hereby waives all
rights it may have under Applicable Law, its general operating conditions or
otherwise to offset or otherwise satisfy its obligations under this Agreement
against any claims that it may have or have the ability to assert against the
Facility Sublessee, the Facility Lessee or either Trustee or any other Person
under the Loan Certificates or otherwise.
Section 2.02. Payment of Scheduled Amounts. Unless the Payment Undertaking
Issuer shall have paid the Full Termination Amount prior to such Scheduled
Payment Date, the Payment Undertaking Issuer shall pay to the Owner Trustee, on
each Scheduled Payment Date prior to the Release Event, the Scheduled Amount for
such Scheduled Payment Date without further act or notice by any Person. After
the Release Event, the Payment Undertaking Issuer shall pay each Scheduled
Amount to the Owner Trustee or as otherwise designated by the Owner Trustee at
least 5 Business Days in advance of the due date of such payment.
Section 2.03. Payment of Full Termination Amount. (a) Subject to receipt
from the Owner Trustee or the Lender of at least five Business Days' prior
written notice of the occurrence of the Full Termination Date (which notice
shall specify the event causing such Full Termination Date), the Payment
Undertaking Issuer shall pay to the Owner Trustee on the Full Termination Date
set forth in such notice the Full Termination Amount specified on Schedule B
hereto with respect to such Full Termination Date.

Full Termination Amount to the Owner Trustee or as otherwise designated by the

Section 2.03, the Payment Undertaking Issuer shall be released from the payment
of any future Scheduled Amounts and Full Termination Amount. Except as expressly
provided in this Article, the Payment Undertaking Issuer shall have no
obligation to make any payment hereunder.
Section 2.05. Overdue Interest. Any amount payable by the Payment
Undertaking Issuer or the Facility Lessee hereunder not paid when due shall bear
interest at the Overdue Rate from the date such amount was due to the date such
amount is paid.
4
Section 2.06. Payments by the Payment Undertaking Issuer. (a) All payments
required to be made hereunder by the Payment Undertaking Issuer shall be made in
immediately available funds prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the due
date therefor. If any payment hereunder is due on a date which is not a Business
Day, then such payment shall be made on the next following Business Day without
interest.
(b) The Facility Lessee and the Payment Undertaking Issuer acknowledge that
all right, title and interest, if any, of the Facility Lessee hereunder have
been irrevocably assigned and pledged to the Trustees under the Payment
Undertaking Pledge Agreement and assigned, pledged and repledged to the Lender
under the Loan Agreement and that, prior to the Release Event, all right, title
and interest of the Trustees hereunder have been irrevocably assigned to the
Lender under the Loan Agreement and the Payment Undertaking Pledge Agreement and
that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Release
Event, all amounts payable by the Payment Undertaking Issuer hereunder shall be
paid directly to the Lender as herein provided.
(c) All payments payable (i) to the Lender shall be paid to the Lender to
its account (No. 802-6002-533) with Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-
Boerenleenbank B.A., New York Branch or to such other account in the United
States as the Lender shall have specified in a notice to the Payment Undertaking

be due or (ii) to the Owner Trustee shall be paid to the Owner Trustee to its
account at Fleet National Bank, ABA No. 000-000-000, Account No. 0067548290, or
to such other account in the United States as the Owner Trustee shall have
specified in a notice to the Payment Undertaking Issuer at least 10 Business
Days prior to the date on which such payment shall be due.
Section 2.07. Withholding Taxes. If any deduction or withholding of Tax is
required to be made from any payment to be made by the Payment Undertaking
Issuer to the Lender, the Payment Undertaking Issuer shall (i) (a) if the
Release Event shall not have occurred at the time or (b) if the Release Event
shall have occurred and the Payment Undertaking Issuer is neither a US Person
(as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended) nor the US branch of a foreign corporation at the time, increase the
amount paid so that the net amount actually paid to the Lender equals the amount
due and payable (and no increase shall be made in the amount paid in any other
case), (ii) pay to the relevant taxation or other authorities within the period
for payment permitted by Applicable Law the full amount of the deduction or
withholding Tax and (iii) notify the Facility Lessee and the Owner Trustee as
soon as practicable of the amount so deducted or withheld. The Facility Lessee
will indemnify and hold harmless the Payment Undertaking Issuer on an After Tax
Basis with respect to the assertion by any taxation authority that the Payment
5
Undertaking Issuer failed to deduct or withhold as required by Applicable Law,
unless such a failure constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the
Payment Undertaking Issuer.
Section 2.08. Breakage Costs. If this Agreement remains in effect after the
Release Event and the Payment Undertaking Issuer is required to make a payment
hereunder either on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date or on a Scheduled
Payment Date but in an amount other than the Scheduled Amount due on such date,
the Facility Lessee shall reimburse the Payment Undertaking Issuer on demand for
any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred by it, including without limitation
any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third
parties, provided that the Payment Undertaking Issuer shall have delivered to
the Facility Lessee a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense,
which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.09. Increased Costs. (a) If this Agreement remains in effect
after the Release Event, the Facility Lessee shall pay directly to the Payment
Undertaking Issuer from time to time on request such amounts as the Payment
Undertaking Issuer may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs
thereafter incurred (other than increases pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof of
amounts paid by the Payment Undertaking Issuer hereunder) which the Payment
Undertaking Issuer reasonably determines are attributable to its making or
maintaining the payment undertaking hereunder or the funding arrangements in
respect thereof, or any reduction in the amount of the Undertaking Fee which the
Payment Undertaking Issuer may retain, resulting from any change or proposed
change in or any introduction of Applicable Law (including regulations,
policies, directives and guidelines issued by any governmental body, central
bank or other fiscal or monetary or accounting authority or other national,
international, state or local organization which purport to regulate the
treatment of rights and obligations similar to the payment undertaking of the
Payment Undertaking Issuer hereunder and any interpretation of Applicable Law by
any authority having jurisdiction) by the United States, The Netherlands or any
other jurisdiction in which the Payment Undertaking Issuer or any other obligor
under this Agreement is organized or has its principal office or lending office
or interpretation or application of any Applicable Law, whether or not having
the force of law, which is enacted or promulgated after the date hereof (a
"Regulatory Change") and such Regulatory Change:
(i) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, deposit
insurance or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or
other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, the Payment
Undertaking Issuer; or
6
(ii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its
payment undertaking hereunder; or
(iii) requires the payment undertaking hereunder to be shown on the
balance sheet of the Payment Undertaking Issuer.
(b) The Payment Undertaking Issuer will notify the Facility Lessee of any
event occurring after the date hereof that will entitle the Payment Undertaking
Issuer to compensation under subsection (a) of this Section as promptly as
practicable after the Payment Undertaking Issuer obtains Actual Knowledge
thereof; provided that the Payment Undertaking Issuer will make reasonable
efforts and will take reasonable actions if such efforts and/or actions will
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in
the sole opinion of the Payment Undertaking Issuer, be disadvantageous to the
Payment Undertaking Issuer. The Payment Undertaking Issuer will furnish to the
Facility Lessee a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request
by the Payment Undertaking Issuer for compensation under subsection (a) of this
Section, and the Facility Lessee shall have no responsibility for the validity
and accuracy of any such certificate and shall have no obligation to make any
investigation relating thereto. Determinations and allocations by the Payment
Undertaking Issuer for purposes of this Section of the effect of any Regulatory
Change pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, and of the amounts required to
compensate the Payment Undertaking Issuer under this Section, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) No amounts shall be payable under subsection (a) of this Section to the
Payment Undertaking Issuer that arise from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Payment Undertaking Issuer or from its failure to comply with
any request from any central bank or other applicable governmental authority. If
the Payment Undertaking Issuer transfers its obligations hereunder, the Facility
Lessee shall not be obligated to pay to any subsequent obligor hereunder any
amounts payable under this Section in excess of the amount that otherwise would
have been payable to the Payment Undertaking Issuer if it had continued to be
the obligor hereunder, unless such transfer is made with the Facility Lessee's
consent or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment
did not exist.
Section 2.10. Direct Obligations. The payment obligations of the Payment
Undertaking Issuer hereunder constitute direct obligations to the Trustees and
the Lender, as assignee of the Trustees' rights, enforceable by the Trustees and
the Lender against the Payment Undertaking Issuer in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. The right of the Trustees and the Lender to receive payments
hereunder represents a separate and independent right of each such Person.

provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but

Section 4.06. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND

shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but
one and the same instrument. To the extent, if any, that this Agreement
constitutes chattel paper or an instrument (as such terms are defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction), no
security interest in this Agreement may be created through the transfer or

Section 4.09. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal or unenforceable under Applicable Law, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be affected or

Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New
York County (without prejudice to the right of any party to remove to the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York) and to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out
of this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby brought by any of the parties hereto or their successors or
assigns, (ii) hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court
or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal court,
and (iii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby irrevocably waives,
and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any
such suit, action or proceeding any claim that is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or
proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may
not be enforced in or by such court. A final judgment obtained in respect of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Section shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit as the judgment or in any manner
as provided by Applicable law. The Facility Lessee irrevocably appoints CT
Corporation System, with an office at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,
as its agent to receive on its behalf service of copies of the summons and
complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or
proceeding (such agent, with respect to the Facility Lessee, being the "Process
Agent").
(b) Service of Process. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to
service of process in connection with the subject matter specified in the first
sentence of subsection (a) of this Section in connection with the
above-mentioned courts in New York by registered mail, Federal Express, DHL or
similar courier at the address to which notices to it are to be given, or to
such party in the case of the Process Agent at the Process Agent's above
address, it being agreed that service in such manner shall constitute valid
service upon such party or its successors or assigns in connection with any such
action or proceeding only; provided that nothing in this Section shall affect
the right of any of such parties or its successors
11
or assigns to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect
the right of such party or its successors or assigns to bring any action or
proceeding against any other such party or its property in the courts of other
jurisdictions.
Section 4.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE FACILITY LESSEE AND THE
PAYMENT UNDERTAKING ISSUER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 4.12. Judgment Currency. (a) This is an international financing
transaction in accordance with which the specification of Dollars is of the
essence, and Dollars shall be the currency of account in the case of all
obligations under this Agreement. The payment obligations of the Payment
Undertaking Issuer hereunder shall not be discharged by an amount paid in a
currency or in a place other than that specified with respect to such
obligations, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the
amount so paid on prompt conversion to Dollars and transfer to the specified
place of payment under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of
Dollars, in such place, due hereunder. To such extent, the obligee of such
obligations shall have a separate cause of action against the party making
payment thereof. If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court with
respect to any obligation of the Payment Undertaking Issuer hereunder, it shall
be necessary to convert to any other currency any amount in Dollars due
hereunder and a change shall occur between the rate of exchange applied in
making such conversion and the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of
payment of such judgment, the Payment Undertaking Issuer agrees to pay such
additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to insure that the amount paid
on the date of payment is the amount in such other currency which, when
converted into Dollars and transferred to New York, New York in accordance with
normal banking procedures will result in the amount then due hereunder in
Dollars.
(b) Any amount due from the Payment Undertaking Issuer shall be due as a
separate debt and shall not be affected by or merged into any judgment being
obtained from any other sum due hereunder or in respect of this Agreement. In no
event, however, shall the Payment Undertaking Issuer be required to pay a larger
amount in such other currency at the rate of exchange in effect on the date of
payment than the amount of Dollars stated to be due hereunder, so that in any
event the obligations of the Payment Undertaking Issuer hereunder will be
effectively maintained as Dollar obligations.
12
Section 4.13. Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute promptly and
duly deliver to each other such further documents and assurances and to take
such further actions as are necessary or desirable, in each case at the sole
cost and expense of the Facility Lessee, in order effectively to carry out the
intent and purpose of this Agreement.
Section 4.14. Third-Party Beneficiaries. The obligations of the Payment
Undertaking Issuer hereunder are intended to be for the benefit of each Trustee,
each of which shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.
13
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Payment Undertaking Issuer and the Facility
Lessee has executed this Agreement as of the date and year first above written.
