ARTICLE III

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS

3.01 Permitted Investments.

(a) Permitted Investments. Pending the application of funds in accordance with Articles III and IV, funds held in any Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Collateral Agent upon written direction of the Borrower (which may be in the form of a standing instruction) only in Permitted Investments, and with respect to those amounts next anticipated to be transferred or withdrawn, having a scheduled maturity no later than such next anticipated cash withdrawal or transfer from such Collateral Account; provided, however, that: (i) upon the receipt by the Borrower of notice of a Trigger Event delivered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.04 and unless otherwise directed therein, or (ii) in the event of any failure by the Borrower to so direct the Collateral Agent in writing on or prior to the day on which any funds are (A) received by the Collateral Agent or (B) transferred between Collateral Accounts in accordance with this Agreement as to the investment of such funds, such investments and reinvestments shall be made by the Collateral Agent in Permitted Investments of the type referred to in clause (f) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”.

(b) Liability of Collateral Agent.

(i) Other than with respect to Permitted Investments required to be invested by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the proviso in Section 3.01(a), the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to determine whether any investment or reinvestment of monies in any Collateral Account satisfies the criteria set out in the definition of “Permitted Investment”.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment in any Permitted Investment or the sale, disposition, redemption or liquidation of such investment or by reason of the fact that the proceeds realized in respect of such sale, disposition, redemption or liquidation were less than that which might otherwise have been obtained.

(c) Liquidation to Make Disbursements. If and when cash is required for the making of any transfer, disbursement or withdrawal in accordance with Articles III and IV, the Borrower shall cause Permitted Investments to be sold or otherwise liquidated into cash (without regard to maturity) as and to the extent necessary in order to make such transfers, disbursements or withdrawals required pursuant to Articles III and IV by giving written notice of such sale or liquidation to the Collateral Agent. In the event any such investments are redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any loss or penalties relating thereto.

(d) Income from Investments. The proceeds from the investment of monies in any Collateral Account in Permitted Investments shall be deposited by the Collateral Agent into the Revenue Account on or before the second Business Day following the month in which such interest, gain or other amount is earned and received; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, such proceeds shall consist of interest, gain and other amounts received in respect of an investment of principal and not the principal itself.

(b) Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request withdrawals or transfers of monies from any Collateral Account without having provided a Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate authorizing such withdrawal and/or transfer.

(i) In the event that, prior to the relevant Withdrawal Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine that either or both: (A) any amounts specified in a Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate (or an amended Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate, as applicable) have been incorrectly calculated; and/or (B) such Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate (or an amended Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate, as applicable) is inconsistent with, or otherwise fails to satisfy the requirements of, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent and the Borrower in writing promptly but in no case later than the third Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate and may either (I) return such Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate (or such amended certificate, as applicable) to the Borrower with its determinations noted thereon; or (II) in consultation with the Borrower, make such corrections as it reasonably deems necessary to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement. In the event that the Administrative Agent makes any revisions to a Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate as described above, it shall promptly provide a copy of the same, as so revised, to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower will endeavor to agree and complete the final form Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate (or any amended or corrected certificate), and deliver such certificate to the Collateral Agent, no later than the Business Day prior to the Withdrawal Date to which such certificate relates.

(ii) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent each shall countersign any accepted Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate (or any amended or corrected Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate, as applicable) (which acceptance or counter-signature shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Collateral Agent shall implement such Executed Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate (or such amended or corrected certificate, as applicable) in accordance with Section 3.02(e) and the other provisions of this Agreement.

(iii) Nothing in this Section 3.02(d) shall preclude any Agent from consulting with the Borrower, any Secured Party or any consultant or expert advisor in making its determinations with respect to the accuracy of any Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate (or any amended or corrected Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate, as applicable).

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, following receipt of an Executed Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate, the Collateral Agent shall pay or transfer the amount(s) specified in such Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate by initiating such payment or transfer not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Withdrawal Date set out in such Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate for such payment or transfer

- 11 - COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT

(or if such certificate is not received by the Collateral Agent at least one Business Day prior to such Withdrawal Date, by 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day following delivery of such Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate to the Collateral Agent).

(f) Failure of the Borrower to Submit Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time the Borrower fails to timely submit or cause to be timely submitted an Executed Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate to the Collateral Agent for the withdrawal, transfer or payment of amounts to any Collateral Account or Person, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) effect any withdrawal, transfer or payment, as the case may be, of any amounts then due and payable or required to be transferred pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document.

The rights, powers and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any fights, powers or remedies which any party thereto would otherwise have. No notice to or demand by any party hereto or any Secured Party on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any party hereto or any Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

7.13 Termination. Upon the Termination Date, this Agreement shall (except as otherwise expressly set out herein) terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, that the obligations of the Borrower pursuant to Sections 6.05(e), (f) and (g), Section 6.06 and Section 7.12 shall survive the Termination Date.
