    FURTHER, that any transfer of funds from such subaccount of the relevant
    Letter of Credit Accounts pursuant to this Section 4.7(b) shall not be

    such Component A Letter of Credit to be extended or failure to provide a
    replacement letter of credit within 30 days of a downgrade of the applicable
    Acceptable Credit Provider, the Collateral Agent shall draw on the Component
    A Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of the

    such transfer, the Facility Lessee shall cause to be delivered to the
    Collateral Agent a standby letter of credit in form reasonably satisfactory
    to the Collateral Agent (the "FACILITY LESSEE PROVIDED LETTER OF CREDIT")
    issued in favor of the Collateral Agent by an Acceptable Credit Provider for
    the account of a party other than the Facility Lessee or any of the Owner
    Lessors in the face amount equal to the amount

    the terms of this Security Deposit Agreement exceeds cash then on deposit in
    such subaccount of the Equity Account, as applicable (such excess amount,
    the "FACILITY LESSEE PROVIDED SHORTFALL AMOUNT"), then the Collateral Agent
    shall draw on the Facility Lessee Provided Letter of Credit in an amount
    equal to the lesser of the Facility Lessee Provided Shortfall Amount and the
    undrawn face amount of the Facility Lessee Provided Letter of Credit and
    shall deposit the proceeds of such drawing into such subaccount of the
    Equity Account, as required (for application in accordance with the terms of
    this Security Deposit Agreement). If pursuant to the terms thereof the
    Facility Lessee Provided Letter of Credit becomes drawable as a result of
    the failure of such Facility Lessee Provided Letter of Credit to be extended
    or failure to provide a replacement letter of credit within 30 days of a
    downgrade of the applicable Acceptable Credit Provider, the Collateral Agent
    shall draw on the Facility Lessee Provided Letter of Credit in an amount

    Credit and shall deposit the proceeds of such drawing into such applicable
    subaccount of the Equity Account or in such applicable subaccount of the
    Equity Account (for application in accordance with the terms of this

the funds on deposit in each subaccount of the Equity Account in accordance with
Sections 4.1(b) and 4.13(b).

the applicable subaccount of the Equity Account are insufficient to make in full
any transfer required pursuant to clause THIRD of Section 4.7(a) and the
conditions to the payments of Component A of Basic Rent are satisfied pursuant

the applicable subaccount of each of the Supplement Account, the Subordinated
Reserve Account or the Suspended Distributions Account, as available.

Owner Lessor's Percentage of the moneys in the applicable Accounts, subject to
the other Transaction Documents, or subaccounts (after giving effect to such
liquidation and such adjustments) shall, subject to other Transaction Documents,
be distributed to the Facility Lessee or as it may direct.

         SECTION 8.4 SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the covenants or
agreements provided in this Agreement on the part of the parties hereto to be

contrary to law, such covenant or agreement shall be deemed and construed to be

in no way affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
