The Agent shall have exclusive possession of and sole dominion and control over the Tranche A Repayment Account and Tranche B Repayment Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Agent shall maintain two ledgers (the “Tranche A Repayment Ledger” and “Tranche B Repayment Ledger”, and, collectively, the “Repayment Ledgers”) with respect to the Roanoke Account and such ledgers shall be titled “Tranche A Repayment Ledger” and “Tranche B Repayment Ledger”.

(k) Permitted Investments. Following execution of a securities account control agreement among the Borrower, BNY and the Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to BNY and the Agent), funds in the Roanoke Account (for the sole account of any of Ash Reserve Ledger, Repair and Maintenance Ledger, Debt Protection Ledger, Disallowance Reserve Ledger and Additional Collateral Ledger only) may be invested and reinvested only in Permitted Investments and liquidated (at the risk and expense of Borrower) in accordance with instructions given to Agent by Borrower (prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and, thereafter, as determined by Agent). Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to investing the funds in the Roanoke Account (for the sole account of any of the Ash Reserve Ledger, the Repair and Maintenance Ledger, the Debt Protection Ledger, the Disallowance Reserve Ledger or the Additional Collateral Ledger) in the absence of written instructions by Borrower. Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any Permitted Investment or the sale or redemption thereof. If and when cash is required for disbursement in accordance with this Section 6.1, Agent is authorized, without instructions from Borrower, to the extent necessary to make payments required pursuant to this Section 6.1 in the event Borrower fails to do so in a timely manner, to cause Permitted Investments to be sold or otherwise liquidated into cash (without regard to maturity) in such manner as Agent shall deem reasonable and prudent under the circumstances.

All funds in the Roanoke Account (for the sole account of any of the Ash Reserve Ledger, the Repair and Maintenance Ledger, the Debt Protection Ledger, the Disallowance Reserve Ledger or the Additional Collateral Ledger) and all Permitted Investments made in respect thereof, shall be held by Agent and the interests of Borrower therein shall constitute part of the security subject to the pledge and security interests created by the Security Documents; provided, that if at any time any funds are to be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with this paragraph (k) but Agent is unable or unwilling at such time to purchase or hold the Permitted Investments selected, then such funds shall be transferred to Swiss American Securities, Inc. (“▇▇▇▇”), a subsidiary of Credit Suisse (or any successor custodian thereto requested by Borrower and approved by Agent and Institutional Agent), so that the selected investments may be made and held while permitting the Secured Parties to maintain their perfected and prior security interests in the funds and/or investments in a manner and pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Agent and Institutional Agent. Borrower shall pay Agent or ▇▇▇▇ (or its successor) the published fees applicable at the time to the transactions then effected pursuant to this paragraph (k). Upon the instructions of Borrower, to be issued at its option, Agent shall transfer such funds from any one or more of the Roanoke Account (for the sole account of the Project Control Ledger) (excluding the Rova II Sub-Ledger)), the Roanoke Account (for the sole account of the Rova I Contingency Ledger), the Roanoke Account (for the sole account of the Rova II Contingency Ledger), the Roanoke Account (for the sole account of the Tranche A Repayment Ledger) or the Roanoke Account (for the sole account of the Tranche B Repayment Ledger) to an Investment Institution for investment by such Investment Institution into Permitted Investments; provided, that no such transfers shall be made by Agent to an Investment Institution until (i) such Investment Institution has acknowledged and agreed in writing that it is holding such funds and Permitted Investments in its capacity as collateral agent for Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in order to maintain Agent’s first priority lien and security interest therein, that it will maintain continuous possession of such funds at all times in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1(k) and that it shall release such funds to Agent and only upon the written instructions thereof and (ii) Borrower and any such Investment Institution have executed all security agreements and financing statements that Agent deems necessary in order to maintain a first priority security interest in the funds and Permitted Investments held by the Investment Institution. All such funds held by Agent or the Investment Institution, as the case may be, and all such Permitted Investments made in respect thereof, shall be held by Agent or the Investment Institution, as the case may be, and the interest of Borrower therein shall constitute part of the security subject to the pledge and security interests created by this Agreement and the other Security Documents. Agent’s remedies and rights under this Section 6.1 or Section 7.2 hereof with respect to any funds transferred from the Roanoke Account to an Investment Institution shall remain unchanged, notwithstanding such transfer. The term “Investment Institution” means a brokerage, investment or similar firm selected by Borrower and approved (and not subsequently disapproved) by Agent, for the purpose of making Permitted Investments on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1(k) hereof, provided, that Agent’s approval or disapproval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or given, respectively.

(l) Roanoke Account and Ledgers, Generally. Borrower shall not make, attempt to make or consent to the making of any withdrawal or transfer from the Roanoke Account or any Ledger thereof except in strict adherence to the provisions of this Agreement. The Agent reserves its right at any time and from time to time to create separate accounts and ledgers in respect of the Rova I Facility and the Rova II Facility and Borrower shall execute such documentation as Agent requests in connection with the creation of any such accounts and ledgers and the continuation of the Lien created pursuant to the Account Pledge Agreement as to such new accounts and ledgers.

(a) the words “Project Control Account” in line 2 of the fifth paragraph of Section 3(a) shall be deleted and the words “Roanoke Account (for the sole account of the Project Control Ledger)” inserted in their place and stead.

8. Project Secured Parties’ Security Interest. The Borrower has granted and pledged and hereby grants and pledges to the Secured Parties, and the Borrower hereby confirms the continuation of such grant and pledge to the Secured Parties of, a first-priority perfected lien and security interest in any right, title or interest it may have or come to have in the Accounts and the Roanoke Account and the related funds, instruments and other assets held therein or credited thereto as well as all income or gain earned on any of the foregoing and all proceeds of the foregoing.
