2.1 Lender and Trustee agree that such parties’ interests in and to the Shared Collateral are pari passu and of equal priority.

2.2 For so long as there is any Credit Facility Indebtedness outstanding or any commitment by Lender to provide financing remains, the Trustee shall not deem or declare any future or prospective event or circumstances to be an Event of Default with respect to Bonds or the Loan (collectively “Prospective Default”), or demand or accelerate the Bonds or the Loan based on such Prospective Default, or commence any action or proceeding against Borrower to recover all or any part of the Bonds or the Loan on account of the Shared Collateral based on such Prospective Default unless Lender shall consent to the Trustee’s declaration of a Prospective Default.

First: the appropriate parties or representatives thereof, as an amount equal to any unpaid expenses of such sale, disposition or other realization, all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of such parties in connection therewith, and all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith;

Second: to Lender and Trustee, on an equal and proportionate basis, all amounts then due and owing in respect to the Credit Facility Documents and the Bond Documents, respectively;

Third: in the event the obligations of Borrower under the Credit Facility Documents and/or the Bond Documents have been declared immediately due and payable in whole, to Lender and Trustee, on an equal and proportional basis, all amounts in respect of the Credit Facility Indebtedness and the Bonds, respectively; and

Fourth: to the extent there has been an acceleration of Borrower’s obligations as described in the immediately foregoing subparagraph and all of the Credit Facility Indebtedness and the Bonds have been paid in full in accordance with their respective terms, any surplus remaining shall be paid to the Borrower or its respective successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

4. Enforcement Actions. The Creditors agree that:

4.1 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Credit Facility Documents or the Bond Documents to the contrary, Lender shall have the right but not the obligation to provide cure and make any payments for Trustee Claims to the extent such cure right is given to the Borrower under the Bond Documents, and the Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation to provide cure and make any payments for Lender Claims to the extent such cure right is given to the Borrower under the Credit Facility Documents, except as otherwise provided by applicable law in any relevant circumstance.

4.2 Beyond the duties hereunder to account to the other Creditor for moneys received by it on account of the Shared Collateral, Lender and Trustee shall each use reasonable care to preserve or protect any Shared Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any of its or their respective agents or nominees, or any income thereon or proceeds thereof, or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

4.3 Notwithstanding the commencement of any Enforcement Action, the rights and obligations of Lender and Trustee under this Agreement shall remain in full force and

effect until (i) all Credit Facility Indebtedness has been paid in full and Lender’s commitment to provide such indebtedness shall have terminated, and (ii) the Bonds shall have been paid in full, irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Bond Document or any Credit Facility Document;

(b) any change in the amount, manner, place or terms of payment or change or extension of the time of payment of or renewal or alternation of any indebtedness in any respect, or any modification or amendment of any Bond Document or Credit Facility Documents; provided that it is understood, acknowledged and agreed that no additional Bond or Loan indebtedness shall be incurred or material amendments or supplements be made to any of the Bond Documents without the prior written consent of Lender in each instance; and provided further that, Lender, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, consents to the (i) issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds as contemplated in the Bond Documents, and (ii) amendments of and supplements to the Bond Documents set forth in the Supplemental Indenture and the Loan Agreement Amendment.

(d) exercise or refrain by either Creditor from exercising any rights against Borrower and/or others;

(e) application of any sums, by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized, to any indebtedness of Borrower in any manner or order in such creditor’s sole discretion in accordance with the provisions of the related Financing Documents,; provided that it is understood, acknowledged and agreed that Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan and the Bonds are secured only to the extent of the Trustee Collateral; or

(f) any other circumstance or event that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower in respect of any of the Bonds, the Loan or the Credit Facility Indebtedness, or Trustee or Lender in respect of this Agreement.

5. Waiver of Rights. Each Creditor hereby expressly waives any right that it otherwise may have to require the other Creditor to resort to the Shared Collateral, the Lender Collateral and/or the Trustee Collateral, as the case may be, in any particular order or manner, whether provided for by common law or statute, provided that this paragraph 5 will not override any specific provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, Lender shall not be required to enforce any guaranty or any security interest given by any person or entity action other than Borrower (in the Credit Facility Security Documents or by or on behalf of any Borrower Affiliate or otherwise) as a condition precedent or concurrent to the taking of any Enforcement Action with respect to the Shared Collateral.

6. Exercise of Remedies. Subject only to any express provision of this Agreement that requires a Creditor to take or refrain from taking an action, each Creditor may exercise its good faith discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any of its rights and

remedies under the Financing Documents or taking or refraining from taking any Enforcement Action in any instance other than those relating to the Shared Collateral.

7. UCC Notices; Notice of Default. In the event that any Creditor shall be required by the UCC or any other applicable law to give any notice to the other Creditor, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 18 and ten (10) days’ prior notice shall be conclusively deemed to be commercially reasonable. In addition to the foregoing, each Creditor agrees to provide notice to the other Creditor at the same time and in the same manner as notice is provided to Borrower on account of any default or event of default under the Financing Documents or any of them.

8. Independent Credit Investigation. No Creditor nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or counsel will be responsible to the other Creditor or to any other person or entity for Borrower’s solvency, creditworthiness, financial condition or ability to repay any of the Claims or for the accuracy of any recitals, statements, representatives or warranties of Borrower, oral or written, or for the validity, sufficiency, enforceability or perfection of the Claims or the Financing Documents, or any security interests or liens granted by Borrower to any Creditor in connection therewith. Each Creditor has entered into its respective financing agreements with Borrower based upon its own independent investigation, and makes no warranty or representation to the other Creditor, nor does it rely upon any representation of the other Creditor with respect to matters identified or referred to in this paragraph. Neither Creditor will have any responsibility to the other Creditor for monitoring or assuring compliance by Borrower with any of Borrower’s covenants or representations made to either Creditor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, either Creditor may perform in accordance with the terms of its Financing Documents (subject to this Agreement) without regard to whether Borrower’s performance in accordance with the terms thereof might or would constitute or result in a breach of covenants or representations under the Creditor’s Financing Documents, and under no circumstances will any Creditor be liable to the other for inducing a breach or violations of the other’s Financing Documents by virtue of performing in accordance with the terms of its own Financing Documents (subject to this Agreement).

9. Non-Avoidability and Perfection of Liens. The subordinations and relative priorities set forth in this Agreement are expressly conditioned upon the non-avoidability and perfection of the security interest to which all other security interests are subordinated. If the security interest to which another security interest is subordinated is not perfected or is voidable for any reason, then the subordination provided for herein will not be effective to the extent of such non-perfection or avoidability.

10. Perfection of Security Interests.

10.1 For the limited purpose of perfecting the security interests of the Creditors in the Shared Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by possession, each Creditor hereby appoints the other as its agent for the limited purpose of possessing on its behalf any such Collateral that may come into the possession of such other Creditor from time to time, and each Creditor agrees to act as the other’s agent for such limited purpose of perfecting the other’s security interest by possession through an agent; provided that neither Creditor will incur any liability to the other Creditor by virtue of acting as the other’s agent hereunder, and either

Creditor may relinquish possession of Collateral in its possession without the consent of the other Creditor, and without incurring liability to the other Creditor, unless there is an express written agreement to the contrary in effect between the Creditors; and provided further that each appointment made pursuant to this paragraph 10.1 shall be and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

10.2 For the purpose of perfecting the security interests of the Creditors in the Shared Collateral while such security interests may be perfected by controlling a “deposit account” or other similar depository or investment or securities account arrangement (whether or not through an intermediary) within the meaning of the UCC, the Creditors, the Borrower and the Borrower Operating Affiliates (as appropriate) shall enter into a control agreement or control agreements, as the case may be (collectively, “Control Agreements”), with the depository, intermediary and/or investment institution or institutions, as applicable, to establish such control and perfect such security interests and Creditors shall cooperate with each other in establishing, maintaining and enforcing such Control Agreements; provided that each of the foregoing actions by the Creditors or either of them shall, in each instance, be subject to this Agreement.

11. Additional Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Financing Documents or any of them, the Creditors hereby agree as follows:

(i) Borrower shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to engage in or benefit from any hedge or derivative transactions relating, directly or indirectly, to the Loan or the Bonds without the prior written consent of Lender;

(ii) Borrower shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to engage in or benefit from any off balance sheet transactions without the prior written consent of Lender, irrespective of the treatment of such transactions under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied;

(iii) there shall be no defeasance of Bonds under the Trust Indenture with a direct assignment or application of the Shared Collateral without reasonable prior notice to and consultation with Lender;

(iv) Borrower agrees that it will give prior notice to and consult with Lender prior to exercising (whether in whole or in part) its right to optionally prepay the Loan under the Loan Agreement or redeem the Bonds under the Trust Indenture;

(v) there shall be no purchase of Bonds in lieu of redemption under the Trust Indenture or in the open markets with a direct assignment or application of the Shared Collateral without reasonable prior notice to and consultation with Lender;

(vi) except to the extent expressly set forth herein with respect to the issuance of the Series 2008 Bonds and the execution and delivery of the Second Supplemental Trust Indenture and the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement, there shall be no further amendment of the economic terms of (i) the Loan or the Bonds (whether or not resulting in a reissuance for federal income tax purposes), (ii) any credit enhancement or liquidity support for the Bonds, or (iii) the Bond Documents, in any instance, without prior consent of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(vii) Lender shall amend the Credit Facility Documents to add as an additional default thereunder any default or “event of default” under the Bond Documents or any of them; and

(viii) Creditors’ rights to notice and cure as set forth in this Agreements shall, in each instance, be subject to the applicable terms of the Financing Documents and any cure offered by a Creditor shall be accepted or rejected by the other Creditor upon the same terms, standards and conditions (including without limitation, any timing requirements) as if such cure had been offered by Borrower or any Borrower Affiliate.

12. Amendments, Modifications and Increases. Each Creditor may, subject to the terms of such documents and the express limitations of this Agreement, enter into amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of its Financing Documents with Borrower without in any way affecting the rights and obligations of the Creditors or either of them under this Agreement. Should either or both Creditors enter into amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of its Financing Documents with Borrower, this Agreement nevertheless shall continue in effect in full force and effect as to the outstanding Claims of each Creditor until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

13. Termination. This Agreement is a continuing agreement, and, unless both Creditors have specifically consented in writing to its earlier termination, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect in all respects until the earlier of the time when (a) no Bonds remain outstanding within the meaning of the Trust Indenture and the lien of the Trust Indenture upon the Trust Estate shall have been released and discharged with respect to the Trust Estate, (b) no portion of the Loan remains unpaid under the Loan Agreement and all promissory notes relating thereto have been paid in full and canceled, (c) all of the Credit Facility Indebtedness shall have been paid in full and Lender terminates its commitment to provide financing to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Facility Documents or otherwise, or (d) either Creditor releases or terminate its security interest in the Shared Collateral.

14. Accountings. Each Creditor agrees, upon the occurrence of any Enforcement Action, to provide timely to the other Creditor upon reasonable request periodic accountings of the amount of such Creditor’s Claims, giving effect to any proposed applications of realization upon the Shared Collateral. Additionally, Trustee agrees to provide the Lender with copies of all reports, notices and any amendments or supplements received by the Trustee under the Bond Documents with respect to defaults (prospective or otherwise) or events of default thereunder.

15. Effect on Bankruptcy. This Agreement will be and remain enforceable notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar creditors’ rights proceedings by or against Borrower.
