delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of
Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex II attached hereto, signed by

attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount
equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used solely
to fund the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with said Section 3.5(c)
and Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon the

notice thereof to the Borrower, the Class A Trustee and

substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b), 2.02(c),
2.02(d) or 2.02(g), as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the Liquidity
Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in
respect of any Borrowing no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a
Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider
shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment
instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars and immediately
available funds, before 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day
or on such later Business Day specified in such Notice of
Borrowing. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in
respect of any Borrowing on a day that is not a Business Day or after
1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested

accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S.
dollars and in immediately available funds, before 12:00 Noon (New York City
time) on the first Business Day next 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. 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. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon receipt of
a copy thereof by the Liquidity Provider at the address specified pursuant to

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. If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance
requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 12:00 Noon (New York City
time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in
Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its
obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall
not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance
pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c), (d) or (g) hereof to fund the Cash
Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights
to the Cash Collateral Account, the funds constituting such Advance or any other
amounts from time to time on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account; provided
that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the
Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by
Section 3.5(e) or (f) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and provided further,
that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Liquidity
Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and
reinvestment of amounts in the Cash Collateral Account to the extent provided in
Section 2.2(b) 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 2.04 Reductions or Termination of
the Maximum Commitment.

Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount
is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class A
Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced
to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower); provided that on the first Regular Distribution Date, the Maximum
Commitment shall automatically be reduced to the then Required
Amount. The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic
reduction of the Maximum 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 of the Maximum
Commitment.
(b) Termination. Upon
the making of any Provider Advance or Special Termination Advance or the making
of or conversion to a 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.

Advances, the Special Termination Advance or the Final
Advance. Subject
to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without

notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), 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, the Special Termination 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”) (if multiple Interest Advances are outstanding any such
repayment to be applied in the order in which such Interest Advances have been
made, starting with the earliest), plus (b) interest on the amount of each
such Unpaid Advance as provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided that if
(i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after
making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in
accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility
shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when
unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to
zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and
shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an
Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when
such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the
Liquidity
Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of
Section 2.06(b)); provided, further, that if,
following the making of a Special Termination Advance, the Liquidity Provider
delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01, such
Special Termination Advance shall thereafter be converted to and treated as a
Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the obligation
for repayment thereof and treated as an Applied Special Termination Advance for
purposes of Section 2.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement. The
Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each
Interest Advance, the Special Termination 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 Provider
Advances. (a) Amounts
advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the
Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Cash Collateral Account
as set forth in Sections 3.5(c), (d), (e) and (f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, 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 Provider Advance,
interest on the principal amount of any such Provider Advance as provided in
Section 3.07; provided, however, that amounts
in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Cash Collateral Account for
the purpose of paying interest on the Class A Certificates in accordance
with Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such
withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an “Applied
Downgrade Advance” and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance,
an “Applied
Non-Extension Advance” and, together with an Applied Downgrade Advance,
an “Applied
Provider Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be
treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining
the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on
which such interest is payable; provided further, however, that if,
following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a
Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, such
Provider Advance shall thereafter be converted to and treated as a Final Advance
under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate
for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof and
treated as an Applied Downgrade Advance or Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the
case may be, for the purposes of Section 2.6(c) of the Intercreditor
Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately
upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Cash Collateral Account on account
of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity
Provider a portion of the Provider 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 hereof.
(b) At any
time when an Applied Provider Advance or an Applied Special Termination Advance
(or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account of any amount pursuant to clause “fourth” of Section 3.2 of the
Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a “Replenishment Amount”) for the
purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the amount of
the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all Applied Provider Advances or the Applied Special Termination
Advance (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of
determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be
automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount (if multiple
Applied
Provider
Advances are outstanding, such Replenishment Amount to be applied in the order
in which such Applied Provider Advances have been made, starting with the
earliest) and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Unapplied Provider Advances or of the Unapplied Special Termination Advance
shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment
Amount.
(c) Upon the
provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement
in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts
remaining on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any
Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance on the date of
such replacement shall be reimbursed to the replaced Liquidity Provider, but
only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the replaced
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 3.5(f) of
the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in
accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to, and not
required to be returned by, the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the
Liquidity Provider to Liquidity Obligations then due and payable in accordance
with the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding
obligations of the Borrower hereunder (or, if not provided for in the
Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as the Liquidity Provider shall
deem appropriate).
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.
Section 2.09 Payments from Available
Funds Only. All
payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, Sections 7.05 and 7.07, shall be made only from the amounts that
constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under
Section 8.1 of the Participation Agreements and payments under the Fee
Letter and Section 6 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 will look solely to
such amounts in respect of payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder 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, the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the
Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments
under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly
contemplated in Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry
Date; Non-Extension Advance. No
earlier than the 45th day and no later than the 30th day prior to the then
effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is
15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A
Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the
Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final
Legal Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates and (ii) the date
that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the last day
of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the
Borrower has made such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower
no earlier than the 30th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Liquidity
Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower) and no later than
the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the “Consent
Period”), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the
Expiry Date. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or
before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not
be so extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower
on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date
shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not
have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor
Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the
Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a
Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and
Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
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 increased costs
incurred by the Liquidity Provider which are attributable to its making or
maintaining any 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, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (including
Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or the
adoption or making after the date of this Agreement of any interpretations,
directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including the Liquidity
Provider under any U.S. federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or
regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court, central bank
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 or such obligation (other than Excluded Taxes); 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 such obligation or any deposits referred to in the definition
of LIBOR Rate or related definitions). The Liquidity Provider agrees
to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its
Facility
Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
any amount payable under this Section 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 will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the
date of this Agreement that will 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. 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.
Notwithstanding
the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent
agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial Liquidity
Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of the
preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof).
Section 3.02 Capital
Adequacy. If
(1) the adoption, after the date hereof, of any applicable governmental
law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, (2) any change, after
the date hereof, in the interpretation or administration of any such law, rule
or regulation by any central bank or other governmental authority charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof or (3) compliance by the
Liquidity Provider or any corporation or bank controlling the Liquidity Provider
with any applicable guideline or request of general applicability, issued after
the date hereof, by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or
not having the force of law) that constitutes a change of the nature described
in clause (2), has the effect of (x) requiring an increase in the
amount of capital required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any
corporation or bank controlling the Liquidity Provider, or (y) reducing the rate
of return on assets or capital of the Liquidity Provider (or such corporation or
bank) and such adoption, change or compliance, as the case may be, relates to a
category of claims or assets that includes the Liquidity Provider’s obligations
hereunder (including funded obligations) and other similar obligations, the
Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, pay to the
Liquidity Provider from time to time such additional amount or amounts as are
necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase
or reduction as shall be reasonably allocable to the Liquidity Provider’s
obligations to the Borrower hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt,
the proposals of The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision relating to capital
adequacy rules commonly known as Basel II will not be treated for purposes of
determining whether the Liquidity Provider (or any corporation or bank
controlling the Liquidity Provider) is entitled to compensation under this
Section 3.02 as having been adopted or having come into effect before the date
hereof, which rules shall be determined to be adopted only when the national
banking authorities, or other relevant administrative or legislative bodies
having primary jurisdiction or regulatory authority over the Liquidity Provider
(or any corporation or bank controlling the Liquidity Provider), adopt Basel II
in the primary jurisdiction of the Liquidity Provider. The Liquidity
Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Facility Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount
payable
under
this Section that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable
judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider.
The
Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the
date of this Agreement that will 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. 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 Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable
to the Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be
conclusive evidence of the amounts owed under this Section, absent manifest
error.
Notwithstanding
the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent
agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial Liquidity
Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of the
preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof).
Section 3.03 Payments Free of
Deductions. (a) 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 present or future stamp or
other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings,
restrictions or conditions of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed, excluding Excluded Taxes (such
non-excluded taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as “Non-Excluded
Taxes” and each, individually, as a “Non-Excluded
Tax”). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld
from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement,
(i) the Borrower shall 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 additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such
reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the
manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) the amounts so payable to the
Liquidity Provider shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Liquidity Provider (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any
other such amounts payable under this Agreement at the rates or in the amounts
specified in this Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Facility 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 disadvantageous to the Liquidity
Provider. From time to time upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower, the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to the Borrower two original
Internal Revenue Service Forms X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-9, as appropriate, or
any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,
certifying that the Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a reduced
rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this
Agreement. 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.
(b) All
payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity
Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required
to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this
Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed
therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing
authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect
of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such
reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the
manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an
additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient
to yield to the Borrower 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 Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the
Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of)
the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment.
(c) If any
exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes is reasonably available
to the Borrower to establish that payments under this Agreement are exempt from
(or entitled to a reduced rate of) tax, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility
of the Borrower for such exemption or reduction as the Liquidity Provider may
reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes.
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. (New York City 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 account specified for the Liquidity Provider in
Schedule B.
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 Rate 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 to the Liquidity Provider shall be stated to be
due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a
result. If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so
deferred to the next succeeding 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 will be payable
on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.
Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject
to Section 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without
duplication, 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
Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, from and including the
date on which the
amount
thereof was withdrawn from the 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 Provider Advance or Applied
Special Termination Advance, the date on which the 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, to the
extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other
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 the case may be, 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 will 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.
(b) Except as
provided in clause (e) below, each Advance will be either a Base Rate
Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section. Each such
Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its
borrowing to (but excluding) the third LIBOR Business Day following the
Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance, except
with respect to any Special Termination Advance, which shall be a LIBOR Advance
from the date of its borrowing (for the avoidance of doubt, any Unapplied
Special Termination Advance and any Applied Special Termination Advance shall
bear interest hereunder at the same rate). Thereafter, such Advance
shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that the Borrower (at the direction of the
Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity Provider is not the Controlling
Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the
last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by giving the Liquidity Provider
no less than four Business Days’ prior written notice of such election or
(y) elect to maintain the Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not
requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under
Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if such Final Advance
is deemed to have been made, without delivery of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant
to Section 2.06, by requesting, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time) on the first Business Day immediately following the Borrower’s receipt of
the applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from
a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance).
(c) Each
LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the LIBOR Rate 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 a rate per annum equal to 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
outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance and Unapplied Downgrade Advance
shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on
deposit in the Cash Collateral Account plus the Applicable Margin for such
Unapplied Non-Extension Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Non-Extension
Advance or Unapplied Downgrade Advance from time to time, 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 but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum until paid.
(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. 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 Subordination Agent
in substantially the form of Annex VI attached hereto (a “Notice of
Replacement Subordination Agent”) delivered to the Liquidity Provider by
the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall be
substituted for 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 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.
Calculation
of all amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.09 shall
be made as though the Liquidity Provider had actually funded the related LIBOR
Advance through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR
Rate in an amount equal to its LIBOR Advance and having a maturity comparable to
the relevant Interest Period; provided however, that the Liquidity Provider may
fund any LIBOR Advance in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions
shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under
this Section 3.09.
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 Facility 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
Facility 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
before the effective date of any such change or request. The
Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Facility
Office if making such change would avoid or cure the aforesaid illegality and
would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise
disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

(ix) Such
other documents, instruments, opinions and approvals pertaining to the

limitation, such documentation as the Liquidity Provider may require to satisfy
its “know your customer” policies.

event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the entering into of
this Agreement or the making of any Advance, which constitutes a Liquidity Event
of Default.

Section 4.03 Representations and
Warranties. The
representations and warranties of the Borrower as Subordination Agent in Section
5.2 of the Participation Agreements shall be deemed to be incorporated into this
Agreement as if set out in full herein and as if such representations and
warranties were made by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider. In
addition, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Liquidity Provider
that:
(a) Investment Company
Act. The Borrower is not an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act of 1940; and
(b) Margin
Stock. The Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of
its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose,
whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying “margin stock”

will be used for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of
buying or carrying any such “margin stock”.
COVENANTS

Borrower. So
long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or the Liquidity Provider shall have any
Maximum Commitment hereunder or the
Borrower
shall have any obligation to pay any amount to the Liquidity Provider hereunder,
the Borrower will, unless the Liquidity Provider shall otherwise consent in
writing:
(a) Performance
of this and Other Agreements. Punctually pay or cause to be paid all
amounts payable by it under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements
and observe and perform in all material respects the conditions, covenants and
requirements applicable to it contained in this Agreement and the other
Operative Agreements.
(b) Reporting
Requirements. Furnish to the Liquidity Provider with reasonable
promptness, such information and data with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Agreements as from time to time may be reasonably
requested by the Liquidity Provider; and permit the Liquidity Provider, upon
reasonable notice, to inspect the Borrower’s books and records with respect to
such transactions and to meet with officers and employees of the Borrower to
discuss such transactions.
(c) Certain
Operative Agreements. Furnish to the Liquidity Provider with
reasonable promptness, such Operative Agreements entered into after the date
hereof as from time to time may be reasonably requested by the Liquidity
Provider.
Section 5.02 Negative Covenants of the
Borrower. So
long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or the Liquidity Provider shall have any
Maximum Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay
any amount to the Liquidity Provider hereunder, the Borrower will not appoint or
permit or suffer to be appointed any successor Borrower without the prior
written consent of the Liquidity Provider, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Default. If
(a) any Liquidity Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
(b) there is a Performing Note Deficiency, the Liquidity Provider may, in

securing such Series A Equipment Notes has been disposed of) at any time during
the 18 month period prior to July 8, 2016 the Liquidity Provider may, in its

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.01 Amendments,
Etc. No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the

of an amendment or of a waiver by the Borrower, the Borrower, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.
Section 7.02 Notices,
Etc. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier and mailed or
delivered or sent by telecopier) addressed to the applicable party at its
address specified on Schedule B or to such other address as shall be designated
by such Person in a written notice to the others. The Borrower shall
give all Notices of Borrowing via telecopier; provided, that, in
the event of a transmission failure, the Borrower shall use reasonable efforts
to deliver the applicable Notice of Borrowing to the Liquidity Provider on the
same Business Day using such other means as may be reasonably deemed necessary
by the Borrower. All such notices and communications shall be

number specified above, (ii) if given by mail, five Business Days after
being deposited in the mails addressed as specified above, and (iii) if
given by other means, when delivered at the address specified above, except that
written notices to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the provisions of
Article II and Article III hereof shall not be effective until
received by the Liquidity Provider. A copy of all notices delivered
hereunder to either party shall in addition be delivered to each of the parties
to the Participation Agreements at their respective addresses set forth
therein.
Section 7.03 No Waiver;
Remedies. No
failure on the part of the Liquidity Provider to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive
of any remedies provided by law.
Section 7.04 Further
Assurances. The
Borrower agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to
the Liquidity Provider such additional assignments,
agreements,
powers and instruments as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably require or deem
advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement and the other
Operative Agreements or to better assure and confirm unto the Liquidity Provider
its rights, powers and remedies hereunder and under the other Operative
Agreements.
Section 7.05 Indemnification; Survival of
Certain Provisions. The
Liquidity Provider shall be indemnified hereunder to the extent and in the
manner described in Section 8.1 of the Participation Agreements. In
addition, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless
the Liquidity Provider from, against and in respect of, and shall pay on demand,
all Expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than any Expenses of the
nature described in Section 3.01, 3.02 or 7.07 hereof or in the Fee Letter
applicable to this Agreement (regardless of whether indemnified against pursuant
to said Sections or in such Fee Letter)), that may be imposed, incurred by or
asserted against any Liquidity Indemnitee, in any way relating to, resulting
from, or arising out of or in connection with any action, suit or proceeding by
any third party against such Liquidity Indemnitee and relating to this
Agreement, the Fee Letter, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Financing
Agreement; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless
any Liquidity Indemnitee in respect of any Expense of such Liquidity Indemnitee
to the extent such Expense is (i) attributable to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Liquidity Indemnitee or any other Liquidity
Indemnitee, (ii) ordinary and usual operating overhead expense, or
(iii) attributable to the failure by such Liquidity Indemnitee or any other
Liquidity Indemnitee to perform or observe any agreement, covenant or condition
on its part to be performed or observed in this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement or any other Operative
Agreement to which it is a party. The indemnities contained in
Section 8.1 of the Participation Agreements, and the provisions of
Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.09, 7.05 and 7.07 hereof, shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.06 Liability of the Liquidity
Provider. (a) Neither
the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors or
Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use which
may be made of the Advances or any acts or omissions of the Borrower or any
beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if
such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
fraudulent or forged; or (iii) the making of Advances by the Liquidity
Provider against delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other documents which do
not comply with the terms hereof; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall have a claim against the Liquidity Provider, and the Liquidity
Provider shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any damages suffered
by the Borrower which were the result of (A) the Liquidity Provider’s
willful misconduct or negligence in determining whether documents presented
hereunder comply with the terms hereof, or (B) any breach 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 strictly complying with
the terms and conditions hereof. In no event, however, shall the
Liquidity Provider be liable on any theory of liability for any special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any
loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).
(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 gross negligence (in
which event the extent of the Liquidity Provider’s potential liability to the
Borrower shall be limited as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph),
in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing.
Section 7.07 Costs, Expenses and
Taxes. The
Borrower 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 out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for the Liquidity Provider)
of the Liquidity Provider in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative
Agreement and any other documents which may be delivered in connection with this
Agreement and (B) on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the Liquidity Provider in connection
with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Operative
Agreement, (ii) the modification or amendment of, or supplement to, this
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or such other documents which may be
delivered in connection herewith or therewith (whether or not the same shall
become effective) or any waiver or consent thereunder (whether or not the same
shall be effective) or (iii) any action or proceeding relating to any
order, injunction, 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 Agreement or otherwise affecting
the application of funds in the Cash Collateral Account. 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
and such other documents, and agrees to hold the Liquidity Provider harmless
from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any
delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.
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 and in Section 3.5(l) of the Intercreditor Agreement) nor
(except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall have the right
to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the
prior written consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of
Section 7.08(b). In addition, the immediately preceding sentence
and this sentence of Section 7.08(a) and the first sentence of Section 7.08(b)
shall inure to the benefit of Continental and its successors and assigns, and
(without limitation of the foregoing) Continental is hereby constituted, and
agreed to be, an express third party beneficiary with respect to the provisions
referred to in this sentence. The Liquidity Provider may grant
participations herein or in any of its rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, funded participations and participations in rights to receive
interest payments hereunder) and under the other Operative Agreements to such
Persons (other than Continental and its Affiliates) as the Liquidity Provider
may in its sole discretion select, subject to the requirements of
Section 7.08(b). No such granting of participations by the
Liquidity Provider, however, will 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, additional
amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like as they pertain to the
Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of each of its
participants that are banks (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) Borrower
agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.02, 3.03 and 3.09 to the same extent as if it were the Liquidity Provider and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 7.08(a); provided, however, that (A)
a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 than the Liquidity Provider would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the
sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the
Borrower and Continental and (B) a participant that is not incorporated in the
United States or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 3.03 unless the Borrower and Continental are notified of the
participation sale to such participant and such participant agrees to comply
with Section 3.03 as if it were the Liquidity Provider. Except as
specifically set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above nothing herein shall require
any notice to Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any
participation.
(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 LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 7.11 Submission to Jurisdiction;
Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of Immunity. (a) Each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(i) submits
for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement
of any judgment in respect hereof or thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America
for the Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts from any
thereof; provided, that, in the case Continental is a debtor in a proceeding
under the Bankruptcy Code, each party also submits for itself and its property
to the court that has jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceedings;
(ii) consents
that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(iii) agrees
that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially
similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set
forth in Section 7.02 hereof, or at such other address of 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 any similar successor
legislation.
Section 7.12 Execution in
Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed
and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts,
taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
Section 7.13 Entirety. This
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to
which the Liquidity Provider is a party constitute the entire agreement of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior understandings and agreements of such parties.
Section 7.14 Headings. Section
headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only
and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other
purpose.
Section 7.15 Transfer. The
Liquidity Provider hereby acknowledges and consents to the Transfer contemplated
by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.
Section 7.16 LIQUIDITY PROVIDER’S
OBLIGATION TO MAKE ADVANCES. EXCEPT
AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIQUIDITY
PROVIDER TO MAKE ADVANCES HEREUNDER, AND THE BORROWER’S RIGHTS TO DELIVER
NOTICES OF BORROWING REQUESTING THE MAKING OF ADVANCES HEREUNDER, SHALL BE
UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE, AND SHALL BE PAID OR PERFORMED, IN EACH CASE
STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 7.17 Patriot
Act. In
compliance with the USA Patriot Act and 31 CFR Part 103.121 and, in the case of
a non-U.S. entity, any other similar requirements of the relevant foreign
jurisdiction, when requested the Borrower shall provide to the Liquidity
Provider certain information relating to the Borrower that the Liquidity
Provider may be required to obtain and keep on file, including the Borrower’s
name, address and various identifying documents.
Section 7.18 Fiduciary
Duty. The Liquidity Provider and its Affiliates may have
economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders
and/or its Affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the
Operative Agreements or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory,
fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or implied duty between the
Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its
stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Agreements (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and
thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Liquidity
Provider and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other,
and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i)
neither the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates have assumed an advisory or
fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise
of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates have advised,
are currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its
Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the
obligations expressly set forth in the Operative Agreements and (ii) each of the
Liquidity Provider and its Affiliates is acting solely as principal and not as
the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors
or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it
deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent
judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading
thereto. The
Borrower
agrees that it will not claim that the Liquidity Provider or its Affiliates have
rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or
similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process
leading thereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their
respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first set forth
above.
