Special Provisions Regarding Non-Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit and Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranties. As an accommodation to each of the Account Parties, it is understood and agreed that the respective Issuing Lenders and Bank Guaranty Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, issue from time to time Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties, as the case may be, denominated in Alternative Currencies, otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2. The respective Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty Issuer, as the case may be, may, at any time, in its sole discretion, determine not to issue Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties, as the case may be, denominated in any Alternative Currency. If any Non-Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit and/or Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranties are from time to time issued, it is understood that the definitions of Stated Amount (in the case of Non-Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit) and Face Amount (in the case of Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranties) contained in this Agreement are each, respectively, designed to provide (pursuant to the proviso thereto) a cushion to reduce the risk that the sum of (x) the aggregate Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Letters of Credit and (y) the aggregate Unreimbursed Payments with respect to the Bank Guaranties would ever exceed the aggregate amount of Credit-Linked Deposits available to repay same. Nonetheless, it is possible, because of currency fluctuations, that the sum of the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings and Bank Guaranty Outstandings would exceed the amount of Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time. If that situation ever occurs at any time, the U.S. Borrower and/or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, shall immediately make all payments required pursuant to Section 4.02(a). Furthermore, if a Drawing occurs under any Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit or a Bank Guaranty Payment occurs under any Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty at a time when the sum of the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings and Bank Guaranty Outstandings exceeds the Total Credit-Linked Deposits as a result of currency fluctuations after the initial issuance of the respective Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit and/or Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty, as the case may be, then, unless the respective Account Party repays such Drawing and/or Bank Guaranty Payment (or the portion thereof which represents the excess amounts described above), (x) the respective Issuing Lender shall bear the risk on that portion of the Unpaid Drawings with respect to such Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit which represents the excess of the sum of the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings and Bank Guaranty Outstandings over the amount of Credit-Linked Deposits (but only to the extent caused by currency fluctuations after the issuance of the respective Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit) and (y) the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer shall bear the risk on that portion of the Bank Guaranty Payments with respect to such Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranties which represents the excess of the sum of the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings and Bank Guaranty Outstandings over the amount of Credit-Linked Deposits (but only to the extent caused by currency fluctuations after the issuance of the respective Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty), and any payments received by the Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty Issuer, as the case may be, (or others on their respective be- half) with respect to such Unpaid Drawings (and interest thereon, which shall in any event be payable at the rates specified in Section 2A.05(a)) and/or Unreimbursed Payments (and interest thereon, which shall in any event be payable at the rates specified in Section 2B.05(a)), shall be retained by the respective Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty Issuer, as the case may be, for its own account.
