was appropriated in the order and manner set forth in Clause 18 of the Loan Agreements, shall be used to repay the Secured Receivables at the time the Agent acquires the Security Beneficial Interests. If the Agent acquires money by exercising,
transferring or otherwise disposing of the Security Beneficial Interests acquired in accordance with Clause 7.1(3), the Agent shall cause the party obliged to pay such money to transfer such money to the Agent’s Account, and upon payment of
such money, the Agent shall immediately distribute such transferred money to each Pledgee in accordance with Clause 19 of the Loan Agreements. 

  

	7.6	If the Agent receives the trust principal, trust proceeds or other property upon enforcement of the Floating Pledgees and such property is not money (the “Receivables in
Kind”), the Majority Lenders shall determine the method to acquire or dispose of the Receivables in Kind. In this case, an amount equivalent to the amount that would be appropriated if the money equal to the Valued Amount of the Receivables in
Kind evaluated by times, methods, prices, etc., that are generally acknowledged as appropriate was appropriated in the order and manner set forth in Clause 18 of the Loan Agreements, shall be used to repay the Secured Receivables. In this case, if
the Agent acquires money by exercising, transferring or otherwise disposing of the Receivables in Kind, the Agent shall cause the party obliged to pay such money to transfer such money to the Agent’s Account, and upon payment of such money, the
