----------------------------------
Section 2.1. THE ADVANCES. The Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably
agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to
the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Effective Date until 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Expiry Date (unless
the obligations of the Liquidity Provider shall be earlier terminated in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.4(b)) in an aggregate amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed the Maximum Commitment.
Section 2.2. MAKING THE ADVANCES.
2.2.1. Interest Advances shall be made in one or more
Borrowings by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of one or more
written and completed Notices of Borrowing in substantially the form
of Annex I attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower, in an amount not exceeding the Maximum Available Commitment
at such time and shall be used solely for the payment when due of the
interest on the Class A Certificates at the Stated Interest Rate
therefor in accordance with Section 3.6(a) of the Intercreditor
Agreement. Each Interest Advance made hereunder shall automatically
reduce the Maximum Available Commitment and the amount available to be
borrowed hereunder by subsequent Advances by the amount of such
Interest Advance (subject to reinstatement as provided in the next
sentence). Upon repayment to the Liquidity Provider in full of the
amount of any Interest Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.2(a),
together with accrued interest thereon (as provided herein), the
Maximum Available Commitment shall be reinstated by the amount of such
repaid Interest Advance, but not to exceed the Maximum Commitment;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Maximum Available Commitment shall not be
so reinstated at any time if (i) a Liquidity Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and (ii) there is a Performing Note
Deficiency.
2.2.2. A Non-Extension Advance shall be made in a single
Borrowing if this Agreement is not extended in accordance with Section
3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement (unless a Replacement Liquidity
Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been previously
delivered to the Borrower in accordance with said Section 3.6(d)) by
delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice
of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex II attached hereto,
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to
the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to
fund the Class A Cash Collateral Account in accordance with said
Section 3.6(d).
2.2.3. A Downgrade Advance shall be made in a single
Borrowing upon a downgrading of the Liquidity Provider's short-term
unsecured debt rating issued by either Rating Agency below the
Threshold Rating (as provided for in Section 3.6(c) of the
Intercreditor Agreement) unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to
replace this Agreement shall have been previously delivered to the
Borrower in accordance with said Section 3.6(c), by delivery to the
Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in
substantially the form of Annex III attached hereto, signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum
Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class
A Cash Collateral Account in accordance with said Section 3.6(c).
2.2.4. A Final Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing
upon the receipt by the Borrower of a Termination Notice from the
Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof by delivery to the
Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in
substantially the form of Annex IV attached hereto, signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum
Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class
A Cash Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.6(i) of the
Intercreditor Agreement).
2.2.5. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice in writing
(a "NOTICE OF BORROWING") in substantially the form required by
Section 2.2(a), 2.2(b), 2.2(c) or 2.2(d), as the case may be, given by
the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is
delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing no later than
12:00 Noon (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Liquidity
Provider shall, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 4.2 with respect to a requested Borrowing, before
12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first Business Day next
following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on such
later Business Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing, make
available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment
instructions, in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds, the
amount of such Borrowing. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the
Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 12:00 Noon (New York City
time) on a Business Day, the Liquidity Provider shall, upon
satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 with
respect to a requested Borrowing, before 12:00 Noon (New York City
time) on the second Business Day next following the day of receipt of
such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by
the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing, make available to the
Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, in U.S. dollars
and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Borrowing.
Payments of proceeds of a Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Borrower in accordance with such
wire transfer instructions as the Borrower shall furnish from time to
time to the Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of
Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
2.2.6. Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant
to a Notice of Borrowing, in accordance with the Borrower's payment
instructions, the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its
obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the
Liquidity Provider shall not thereafter be obligated to make any
further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of Borrowing to
the Borrower or to any other Person. Following the making of any
Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund the
Class A Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no
interest in or rights to the Class A Cash Collateral Account, such
Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class
A Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not
affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make
the distributions contemplated by Section 3.6(e) or (f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds of
Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as
to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency
for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested.
Section 2.3. FEES. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity
Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.4. ADJUSTMENTS OR TERMINATION OF THE MAXIMUM COMMITMENT.
2.4.1. AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENTS. Promptly following each date
on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in
the Pool Balance of the Class A Certificates or otherwise, clause (y)
of the definition of Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced
to an amount equal to the Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic
reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider within
two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any
such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum
Commitment.
2.4.2 TERMINATION. Upon the making of any Provider Advance
or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date,
the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances
hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing
hereunder.
Section 2.5. REPAYMENTS OF INTEREST ADVANCES OR THE FINAL ADVANCE.
Subject to Sections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.9 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without
notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which
notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be
paid, to the Liquidity Provider on each date on which the Liquidity Provider
shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to (a) the
amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as
an "UNPAID ADVANCE"), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid
Advance as provided in Section 3.7 hereof; PROVIDED that if (i) the Liquidity
Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more
Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this
Section 2.5 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility
or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have
reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances
shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been
changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance,
as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is
required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.6
and for the purposes of Section 2.6(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider
agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on
the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for
new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.
Section 2.6. REPAYMENTS OF PROVIDER ADVANCES.
2.6.1 Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider
Advance shall be deposited in the Class A Cash Collateral Account,
invested and withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account as set
forth in Sections 3.6(c), (d) and (f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular
Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date
after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal
amount of any such Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.7;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance
withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of
paying interest on the Class A Certificates in accordance with Section
3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such
withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an "APPLIED
DOWNGRADE ADVANCE" and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an
"APPLIED NON-EXTENSION ADVANCE" and, together with an Applied
Downgrade Advance, an "APPLIED PROVIDER ADVANCE") shall thereafter
(subject to Section 2.6(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under
this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity
Rate for interest payable thereon; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that if,
following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider
delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1
hereof, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final
Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. Subject to
Sections 2.7 and 2.9 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any
amounts from the Class A Cash Collateral Account on account of a
reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the
Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal
amount equal to the amount of such reduction, plus interest on the
principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.7 hereof.
2.6.2. At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or
any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A
Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause "THIRD" of
Section 2.4(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement, clause "THIRD" of
Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement or clause "FOURTH" of
Section 3.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a
"REPLENISHMENT AMOUNT") for the purpose of replenishing or increasing
the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider
Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for
purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest
payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such
Replenishment Amount and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically
increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
2.6.3. Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity
Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section
3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in
the Class A Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied
Provider Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed
to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are
necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity Provider all amounts owing
to it hereunder.
Section 2.7. PAYMENTS TO THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER UNDER THE
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the
Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement
provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the
Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider to Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement
or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as
the Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate.
Section 2.8. BOOK ENTRIES. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and
the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to
time in respect thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure by the Liquidity
Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Section 2.9. PAYMENTS FROM AVAILABLE FUNDS ONLY. All payments to be
made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts
that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under Section
9.1 of the Participation Agreements and only to the extent that the Borrower
shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to
make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the
priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The
Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent
available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and
this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not
personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this
Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash
Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under
this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in
Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 2.10. EXTENSION OF THE EXPIRY DATE; NON-EXTENSION ADVANCE. No
earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then
effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is
15 days after the Final Maturity Date for the Class A Certificates), the
Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date for a
period of 364 days after the then effective Expiry Date (unless the obligations
of the Liquidity Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with the terms
hereof). The Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower, no earlier than 40
days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date, whether,
in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the Liquidity
Provider advises the Borrower on or before the 25th day prior to the Expiry Date
then in effect that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to
irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the 25th day
prior to the Expiry Date then in effect that such Expiry Date shall be so
extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been
replaced in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the
Borrower shall be entitled on and after such 25th day (but prior to the then
effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with
Section 2.2(b) hereof and Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
ARTICLE III.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
---------------------------
Section 3.1. INCREASED COSTS. Subject to the Fee Letter, the Borrower
shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be
necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for any increased costs incurred
by the Liquidity Provider which are attributable to its making or maintaining
any LIBOR Advances hereunder or its obligation to make any such Advances
hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider
under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such
Advances or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts
receivable being herein called "ADDITIONAL COSTS"), resulting from any change
after the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign
laws or regulations (including Regulation D), or the adoption or making after
the date of this Agreement of any interpretations, directives, or requirements
applying to a class of banks including the Liquidity Provider under any U.S.
federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations (whether or not
having the force of law) by any court, central bank or monetary authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (a "REGULATORY
CHANGE"), which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the
Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such Advances (other
than Excluded Taxes); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or
other assets of, or any deposits with other liabilities of, the Liquidity
Provider (including any such Advances or any deposits referred to in the
definition of LIBOR Rate or related definitions). The Liquidity Provider agrees
to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such
change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount payable
under this Section 3.1 that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.1 as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of
this Section 3.1 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making
or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances,
and of the additional amounts required to compensate the Liquidity Provider in
respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount
owed under this Section.
Section 3.2. CAPITAL ADEQUACY. Subject to the Fee Letter, if (1) the
adoption, after the date hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or
regulation regarding capital adequacy, (2) any change, after the date hereof, in
the interpretation or administration of any such law, rule or regulation by any
central bank or other governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof or (3) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any
corporation controlling the Liquidity Provider with any applicable guideline or
request of general applicability, issued after the date hereof, by any central
bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law)
that constitutes a change of the nature described in clause (2), has the effect
of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by
the Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the Liquidity Provider,
and such increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider's obligations hereunder
and other similar obligations, the Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider
from time to time such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to
compensate the Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase as shall be
reasonably allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower
hereunder. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent
with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of
its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and
would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise
materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.2 as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of
this Section 3.2 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required
to be maintained by the bank and of the amount allocable to the Liquidity
Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima facie evidence
of the amounts owed under this Section.
Section 3.3. PAYMENTS FREE OF DEDUCTIONS. All payments made by the
Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction for or on account of, any present or future stamp or other taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, restrictions
or conditions of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed, excluding Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded
taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as "Non-Excluded Taxes" and,
individually, as a "Non-Excluded Tax"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required
to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this
Agreement, the amounts so payable to the Liquidity Provider shall be increased
to the extent necessary to yield to the Liquidity Provider (after payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any other such amounts payable under this
Agreement at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. The
Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the
jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be
otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. From time to time upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower, the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to
the Borrower two original Internal Revenue Service Forms 1001 or 4224, as
appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, certifying that the Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a
reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this
Agreement.
Section 3.4. PAYMENTS. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made
each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the
same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in
lawful money of the United States of America, to the Liquidity Provider in
immediately available funds, by wire transfer to ABN AMRO Bank N.V., New York,
NY, ABA # ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Account Name: ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. - Chicago Branch, Account
# 650-001-1789-41, Reference: Continental Airlines, Inc. Pass Through Trust
1997-3A .
Section 3.5. COMPUTATIONS. All computations of interest based on the
Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case
may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such interest is payable.
Section 3.6. PAYMENT ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be
made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional
interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been
made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so
deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the
commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance or reduce the number
of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next interest
payment date for such Advance.
Section 3.7. INTEREST.
3.7.1. Subject to Section 2.9, the Borrower shall pay, or
shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the
unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of
such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and
including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the
Class A Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A
Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be
paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, the date
on which the Class A Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in
respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder
(whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the
extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any
such other amount) which is not paid when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due
date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in
each such case, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum for each day
equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such
Advance or such other amount as in effect for such day, but in no
event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if at any time the otherwise
applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.7 shall exceed
the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then any subsequent
reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest
payable pursuant to this Section 3.7 below the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals
the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise
applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.7 had at all
times been in effect.
3.7.2. Except as provided in clause (e) below, each
Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as
provided in this Section. Each Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for
the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third
Business Day following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice
of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a
LIBOR Advance; provided that the Borrower (at the direction of the
Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity Provider is not the
Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate
Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by
giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior
written notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the Final
Advance as Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of the
Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable
Notice of Borrowing.
3.7.3. Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance,
payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the
event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other
than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of
interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
3.7.4. Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for
such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular
Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of
such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution
Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued
on the amount of principal repaid).
3.7.5. Each Unapplied Provider Advance (i) during the
period from and including the date of the making of such Unapplied
Provider Advance through but excluding the date of repayment thereof
or of conversion thereof into a Final Advance or Applied Provider
Advance (and for any additional periods of time during which such
Advance no longer constitutes an Applied Provider Advance but again
constitutes an Unapplied Provider Advance pursuant to Sections 2.6(a)
and (b) hereof), shall bear interest in an amount equal to the
Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash
Collateral Account for such period plus the Applicable Margin on the
amount of such Unapplied Provider Advance from time to time during
such period, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and
(ii) after conversion thereof into a Final Advance or Applied Provider
Advance (but only for such period of time during which such Advance
constitutes an Applied Provider Advance pursuant to Sections 2.6(a)
and (b) hereof), as the case may be, shall be a LIBOR Advance and
shall bear interest in accordance with clause (c) above.
3.7.6. Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether
fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but
excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus 2.00% until paid.
3.7.7. Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective
immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.7 with
respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the
"APPLICABLE LIQUIDITY RATE".
Section 3.8. REPLACEMENT OF BORROWER. From time to time and subject to
the successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in
Section 6.9 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent
upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of
Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI attached
hereto (a "NOTICE OF REPLACEMENT SUBORDINATION AGENT") delivered to the
Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated
therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.
Section 3.9. FUNDING LOSS INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower shall pay to
the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount
or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity
Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the
Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
(a) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day
of the Interest Period for such Advance; or
(b) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date
for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.2.
Section 3.10. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or
fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Liquidity
Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be
converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity
Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the
Liquidity Provider, requires immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of
the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change
or request.

Section 7.6. LIABILITY OF THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER.

documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents
should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
fraudulent or forged; or (iii) the making of Advances by the Liquidity
Provider against delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other documents
which do not comply with the terms hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Borrower shall have a claim against the Liquidity Provider, and the
Liquidity Provider shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of
any damages suffered by the Borrower which were the result of (A) the
Liquidity Provider's willful misconduct or negligence in determining
whether documents presented hereunder comply with the terms hereof, or
(B) any breach by the Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Liquidity Provider's
failure to make lawful payment hereunder after the delivery to it by
the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing strictly complying with the
terms and conditions hereof.
7.6.2. Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its
officers, employees, director or affiliates shall be liable or
responsible in any respect for (i) any error, omission, interruption
or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or
advice, however transmitted, in connection with this Agreement or any
Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder, or (ii) any action, inaction
or omission which may be taken by it in good faith, absent willful
misconduct or negligence (in which event the extent of the Liquidity
Provider's potential liability to the Borrower shall be limited as set
forth in the immediately preceding paragraph), in connection with this
Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing.
Section 7.7. COSTS, EXPENSES AND TAXES. The Borrower agrees to pay, or
cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later date or dates on
which the Liquidity Provider shall make demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of outside counsel for the Liquidity Provider) of the Liquidity
Provider in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery,
filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and any
other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement and (B)
on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees
and expenses) of the Liquidity Provider in connection with (i) the enforcement
of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, (ii) the modification or
amendment of, or supplement to, this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement
or such other documents which may be delivered in connection herewith or
therewith (whether or not the same shall become effective) or (iii) any action
or proceeding relating to any order, injunction, or other process or decree
restraining or seeking to restrain the Liquidity Provider from paying any amount
under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Operative
Agreement or otherwise affecting the application of funds in the Cash Collateral
Accounts. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all recording, stamp and
other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection
with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other
Operative Agreement and such other documents, and agrees to save the Liquidity
Provider harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or
resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.
Section 7.8. BINDING EFFECT; PARTICIPATIONS.
7.8.1. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider and their
respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Liquidity
Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.8) nor
(except as contemplated by Section 3.8) the Borrower shall have the
right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest
herein without the prior written consent of the other party, subject
to the requirements of Section 7.8(b). The Liquidity Provider may
grant participations herein or in any of its rights hereunder
(including, without limitation, funded participations and
participations in rights to receive interest payments hereunder) and
under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons as the Liquidity
Provider may in its sole discretion select, subject to the
requirements of Section 7.8(b). No such participation by the Liquidity
Provider, however, will relieve the Liquidity Provider of its
obligations hereunder. In connection with any participation or any
proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider may disclose to the
participant or the proposed participant any information that the
Borrower is required to deliver or to disclose to the Liquidity
Provider pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that the Liquidity Provider's source of funds may derive in
part from its participants (other than Continental). Accordingly,
references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to
determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, increased
costs, reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section
3.3(a) and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be
deemed also to include those of each of its participants (subject, in
each case, to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by or
attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly if the Liquidity
Provider, rather than the participant, had held the interest
participated).
7.8.2. If, pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Liquidity
Provider sells any participation in this Agreement to any bank or
other entity (each, a "TRANSFEREE"), then, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such participation, the Transferee shall (i)
represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity
Provider and the Borrower) either (A) that it is incorporated under
the laws of the United States or a state thereof or (B) that under
applicable law and treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld
with respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect
of this Agreement, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the
Borrower either (x) a statement that it is incorporated under the laws
of the United States or a state thereof or (y) if it is not so
incorporated, two copies of a properly completed United States
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or Form 1001, as appropriate, or
other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such Transferee's
entitlement to a complete exemption from United States federal
withholding tax in respect to any and all payments to be made
hereunder, and (iii) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider
and the Borrower) to provide the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a
new Form 4224 or Form 1001, as appropriate, (A) on or before the date
that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or (B) after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately following due
date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the case
of a Form 1001 or Form 4224 that such Transferee is entitled to a
complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on
payments under this Agreement. Unless the Borrower has received forms
or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by
applicable law) indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to
United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold
taxes as required by law from such payments at the applicable
statutory rate.
7.8.3. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 7.8, the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any
portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the
United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any
Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that
any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower
to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's obligations hereunder in
respect of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No
such assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its
obligations hereunder.
Section 7.9. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or nonauthorization without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 7.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 7.11. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; WAIVER
OF IMMUNITY.
7.11.1. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:
(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of
any judgment in respect hereof or thereof, to the
nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State
of New York, the courts of the United States of America for
the Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts
from any thereof;
(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may
be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or
proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees
not to plead or claim the same;
(iii) agrees that service of process in any such
action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy
thereof by registered or certified mail (or any
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to
each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 7.2
hereof, or at such other address of which the Liquidity
Provider shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and
(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the
right to effect service of process in any other manner
permitted by law or shall limit the right to ▇▇▇ in any
other jurisdiction.
7.11.2. THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY
AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without
limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and
all other common law and statutory claims. The Borrower and the
Liquidity Provider each warrant and represent that it has reviewed
this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and
voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with
such legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED
EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY
SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
AGREEMENT.
7.11.3. The Liquidity Provider hereby waives any immunity
it may have from the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States
or of any State and waives any immunity any of its properties located
in the United States may have from attachment or execution upon a
judgement entered by any such court under the United States Foreign
Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 or any similar successor legislation.
Section 7.12. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on
separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and
delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts,
taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
Section 7.13. ENTIRETY. This Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement
and the other Operative Agreements to which the Liquidity Provider is a party
constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements of
such parties.
Section 7.14. HEADINGS. Section headings in this Agreement are
included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 7.15. LIQUIDITY PROVIDER'S OBLIGATION TO MAKE ADVANCES. EXCEPT
AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIQUIDITY
PROVIDER TO MAKE ADVANCES HEREUNDER, AND THE BORROWER'S RIGHTS TO DELIVER
NOTICES OF BORROWING REQUESTING THE MAKING OF ADVANCES HEREUNDER, SHALL BE
UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE, AND SHALL BE PAID OR PERFORMED, IN EACH CASE
STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
