Guarantee of Collection. This is a guarantee of collection only, and not a guarantee of payment. Notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Guarantee to the contrary, the Guarantor shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Guarantee unless and until each of the following has occurred: (i) the Trustee or other Holder must use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain judgment against ETP, (ii) the Trustee or other Holder must use commercially reasonable efforts to execute on any judgment obtained against ETP, (iii) following execution of any such judgment, a portion of the sums due under the Senior Notes constituting Liabilities must remain unpaid, (iv) if no bankruptcy proceeding has been commenced with respect to ETP, the Trustee or other Holder shall have brought an action in a court of law having proper subject matter jurisdiction against ETP to collect such Liabilities, obtained a final and non-appealable judgment by such court against ETP in respect of such Liabilities and levied execution of such judgment against the property of ETP, and as a result of such execution received less than payment in full in cash or property of such Liabilities, and (v) if a bankruptcy proceeding has been commenced with respect to ETP, the closing of the bankruptcy proceeding after its administration under 11 U.S.C. Section 350(a) shall have occurred and the Trustee or other Holder shall have received, after all distributions contemplated by such bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, less than payment in full in cash or property in respect of such Liabilities. For these purposes, the value of any payment made in property shall be equal to the fair market value of such property at the time of such payment.
