In the event that sufficient funds are not available for their payment pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Master Indenture, the excess unpaid amount of such fees, expenses, costs or other obligations shall in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, the Issuers. Nothing in this Section 4.06 shall be construed to limit the Indenture Trustee from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral Pool.
10
