Accounts. For purposes of this Agreement, the parties hereto confirm and agree
as follows:
(a) On the date hereof, and for so long as this Agreement remains

4
intangibles or cash) credited to the Noteholder Accounts shall be treated
as a "financial asset" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the
UCC).
(d) All property delivered or transferred to the Noteholder
Depositary Bank pursuant to this Agreement for credit to a Noteholder
Account will be promptly credited to the applicable Noteholder Account.

Noteholder Depositary Bank for the purposes and on the terms set forth in
this Agreement and the Note Documents and (iii) endorsed to the Note
Trustee or in blank or credited to another securities account in the name
of the Note Trustee, and in no case shall any financial asset credited to
any Noteholder Account be registered in the name of the Issuer, payable to
the order of the Issuer, or specially endorsed to the Issuer, except (A)
to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed to the Noteholder
Depositary Bank or in blank and (B) to the extent provided for in clause
Fourth of Section 5.4 of the Indenture.
(f) If at any time the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall receive
any written instruction, direction or entitlement order from the Note
Trustee directing disposition, transfer, withdrawal or redemption of any
financial asset relating to any Noteholder Account or otherwise relating
to any or all of the Note Collateral, the Noteholder Depositary Bank
hereby agrees that it shall comply with such written instruction,
direction or entitlement order without further consent from the Issuer or
any other Person. If the Issuer is otherwise entitled to issue any written
instruction, direction or entitlement order in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and such instruction, direction or entitlement order
conflicts with any written instruction, direction or entitlement order
issued by the Note Trustee, the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall follow
the orders issued by the Note Trustee.

or interest in, the Noteholder Accounts or other Note Collateral
(including any "adverse claim" within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(1)
of the UCC) by any Person other than the Note Trustee, acting on behalf of
the Holders. If any Person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim
(including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment,
execution or similar process) against the Noteholder Accounts or any other
Note Collateral, the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall promptly notify the
Note Trustee thereof.
(i) Other than this Agreement, the Noteholder Depositary Bank has
not entered into, and shall not enter into, any agreement with any other
Person relating to the Noteholder Accounts and/or any financial assets
from time to time credited thereto
5
pursuant to which it has agreed or will agree to comply with entitlement
orders of such Person or any other Person. The Noteholder Depositary Bank
has not entered into and shall not enter into any other agreement with the
Issuer or any other Person purporting to limit or condition the obligation
of the Noteholder Depositary Bank to comply with entitlement orders
originated by the Note Trustee as set forth in paragraph (f) above.
(j) In the event that the Noteholder Depositary Bank has or
subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law, or otherwise, a
security interest in the Noteholder Accounts or any other Note Collateral,
the Noteholder Depositary Bank hereby agrees that such security interest
shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Note Trustee.
(k) The Noteholder Depositary Bank hereby waives and releases any
lien, encumbrance, claim, right of set-off or other right it may have
against the Noteholder Accounts or any other Note Collateral (except that
the Noteholder Depositary Bank may set off the face amount of any checks
which have been credited to the Noteholder Accounts but are subsequently
returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds) and agrees
that it shall not assert any such lien, encumbrance, claim or right
against the Noteholder Accounts or any other Note Collateral.
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, in the event that the Noteholder Accounts are determined by any
court of law or arbitral tribunal to be "deposit accounts" (as defined in
Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC), rather than "securities accounts" (as
defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC), the Noteholder Depositary Bank
hereby (i) confirms that it is a "bank" within the meaning of Section
9-102(a)(8) of the UCC and that the bank's jurisdiction for purposes of
Section 9-304 of the UCC is, and shall continue to be, the State of New
York and (ii) agrees that it shall comply with instructions from the Note
Trustee directing disposition of funds in the Noteholder Accounts without
further consent from the Issuer or any other Person.
(m) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Noteholder Depositary Bank shall not be required to follow any instruction
that would violate applicable law, decree, regulation or order of any
Governmental Authority.
(n) The Issuer represents and warrants that it does not have (and
will not have) any legal or equitable interest in or control over the Note
Collateral.
(o) The Issuer represents and warrants that the Note Collateral
would not be part of the Issuer's estate under Section 541 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
(p) The proceeds of the Note Collateral made available to the

written direction of the Note Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and the
Note Indenture (other than amounts transferred by the Noteholder
Depositary Bank to the Offshore Collateral Agent for transfer to the
Offshore Depositary Bank pursuant to Section 2.2(a)), shall constitute an
extension of credit from the Holders to the Issuer. Any amounts credited
from time to time to the Note Prepayment Account may only be transferred
to the Note Trustee and the Holders and, until all of the Obligations from
the Issuer to the Holders and the Note
6
Trustee have been indefeasibly paid in full, any amounts on deposit in the
Note Interest Account may only be transferred to the Note Trustee and the
Holders, in accordance with the Financing Documents.
SECTION 2.4. Direction by Note Trustee; Note Proceeds Withdrawals.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this
Agreement, the Noteholder Depositary Bank agrees that it shall take all
directions, instructions or entitlement orders with respect to each of the
Noteholder Accounts or any financial asset credited thereto or carried therein
or any other Note Collateral solely from the Note Trustee.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Common Agreement,
the Note Trustee agrees to instruct the Noteholder Depositary Bank to make (and,
subject to the sufficiency of funds in the Note Proceeds Account or the Note
Interest Account, as applicable, the Noteholder Depositary Bank agrees to make)
the Note Proceeds Withdrawals requested by the Issuer in the applicable Notice
of Funding, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Funding date

the transfers to be made from such Noteholder Account on such day in accordance

is as of any day insufficient to cover the transfers to be made from such
Noteholder Account on such day, the Note Trustee shall direct the Noteholder
Depositary Bank to cause the sale or liquidation of the Dollar Permitted
Investments held in such Noteholder Account (without regard to maturity date) in
such manner as necessary in order to obtain cash at least sufficient to make
such transfers and
10
to pay any expenses and charges incurred in connection with effecting any such
sale or liquidation, which expenses and charges the Noteholder Depositary Bank
shall be authorized to pay with cash on deposit in such Noteholder Account.
Neither the Noteholder Depositary Bank nor the Note Trustee shall be liable to
any Person for any loss suffered because of any such sale or liquidation other
than by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Account and reinvested as provided herein until transferred or disbursed
pursuant to the terms hereof. Neither the Noteholder Depositary Bank nor the
Note Trustee shall have any liability for any loss resulting from any such
Dollar Permitted Investment other than by reason of its willful misconduct or
gross negligence.

in the Noteholder Accounts shall be valued, as the case may be, as follows:

with an executed and completed IRS Form W-8 BEN upon the reasonable request of
the Noteholder Depositary Bank. The Noteholder Depositary Bank shall comply with

RIGHTS, DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE NOTEHOLDER DEPOSITARY BANK
SECTION 6.1. Appointment of Noteholder Depositary Bank. The Issuer
and the Note Trustee hereby appoint CITIBANK, N.A., to act as the Noteholder
Depositary Bank under this Agreement, with such powers as are expressly
delegated to the Noteholder Depositary Bank by the terms of this Agreement and
the UCC, and CITIBANK, N.A., hereby accepts such appointment pursuant to the

(a) The Noteholder Depositary Bank undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement or
the UCC, as expressly modified by this Agreement, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Noteholder Depositary
Bank. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this
11
Agreement, the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall not be required to take any
action or exercise any discretion, but, subject to Sections 6.2(d), 6.2(e) and
6.2(f) hereof, shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon
instructions of the Note Trustee and shall in all such cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of the Note Trustee.
(b) The Note Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholder Depositary
Bank agree, with respect to the Noteholder Accounts as follows: (i) with
reference to Section 8-504 of the UCC, the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall
credit to the Noteholder Accounts security entitlements to any financial asset
purported to be credited to the Noteholder Depositary Bank pursuant to
applicable law, (ii) with reference to Section 8-505 of the UCC, the Noteholder
Depositary Bank shall distribute any payments or other distributions actually
received by the Noteholder Depositary Bank with respect to such security
entitlements in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) with reference to
Section 8-506 of the UCC, the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall exercise rights
with respect to the financial assets only if directed to do so by subsequent
receipt of an entitlement order complying with Section 8-507 of the UCC from the
Note Trustee and then only to the extent of such instructions. In connection to
the Noteholder Depositary Bank's duties with respect to clause (i) of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Note Trustee and the Issuer agree that the
Noteholder Depositary Bank shall have satisfied its duties thereunder and under
Section 8-504 of the UCC so long as the Noteholder Depositary Bank credits as a
security entitlement to the applicable party in accordance with this Agreement
whatever rights the Noteholder Depositary Bank purportedly has in the financial
assets credited to the Noteholder Depositary Bank but that the Noteholder
Depositary Bank shall have no duty or responsibility to any person or entity for
ensuring that applicable law has been complied with to transfer or create a
security interest in any right, title or interest in or to, or in any right
whatsoever in and to, any financial asset purportedly transferred to the
Noteholder Depositary Bank or in which any security interest in any such
financial assets has purportedly been transferred or assigned to the Noteholder
Depositary Bank. With respect to Section 8-505(a) of the UCC, the sole
responsibility of the Noteholder Depositary Bank with respect to obtaining
payments or distributions on any financial asset is to notify the Issuer and the
Note Trustee if in the actual knowledge of the Noteholder Depositary Bank any
such payment or distribution has not been received by the Noteholder Depositary
Bank.
(c) The Noteholder Depositary Bank shall be entitled to rely upon
any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram,
telecopy or telex) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent
by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Note Trustee and upon advice and statements
of legal counsel and other experts selected by the Noteholder Depositary Bank.
(d) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Noteholder Depositary Bank from liability for its own grossly negligent
action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct,
except that to the extent, but only to the extent, the following limitations on
the Noteholder Depositary Bank's liability would not prevent the Noteholder
Depositary Bank from being a "Securities Intermediary" under the UCC, the
following limitations shall apply:
12
(i) the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall not be liable for any
error of judgment of an officer of the Noteholder Depositary Bank, unless
it shall be proved that such officer of the Noteholder Depositary Bank was
grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(ii) the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Note Trustee relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Noteholder Depositary Bank, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Noteholder Depositary Bank, under this Agreement;

loss of profits, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or
indirect damages;

knowledge of the existence of any Default or Event of Default until such
time as it has received notification of such Default or Event of Default
from the Note Trustee; and
(v) no provision of this Agreement shall require the Noteholder
Depositary Bank to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or
in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(e) The Noteholder Depositary Bank shall be under no obligation to
institute any suit, or to take any remedial proceeding under this Agreement, or
to enter any appearance or in any way defend in any suit in which it may be made
defendant, or in the enforcement of any rights or powers hereunder, if the
Noteholder Depositary Bank reasonably believes that it will not be adequately
indemnified against any and all costs and expenses, outlays, and counsel fees
and other reasonable disbursements and against all liability, except liability
that is adjudicated to have resulted from its gross negligence or willful
misconduct, in connection with any actions so taken.
(f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision
of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the eligibility of or
affording protection to the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section 6.2.
SECTION 6.3. Resignation and Removal of Noteholder Depositary Bank.
The Note Trustee may remove the Noteholder Depositary Bank upon 30 days' prior
written notice to the Issuer and the Noteholder Depositary Bank. The Noteholder
Depositary Bank shall have the right to resign upon 30 days' prior written
notice to the Issuer and the Note Trustee. Upon any such removal or resignation
of the Noteholder Depositary Bank to act hereunder, the Note Trustee shall
appoint a successor Noteholder Depositary Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no resignation, removal or replacement of the Noteholder Depositary Bank shall
be effective until a successor Noteholder Depositary Bank has been appointed and
has agreed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Note Trustee to act as
Noteholder Depositary Bank hereunder.

Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnity obligations of
the Issuer contained in this Article VII shall continue in full force and effect
