will any Financial Asset credited to any such Account be registered in the name of,
payable to, or to the order of, or endorsed to, the Borrower except to the extent
the foregoing have been subsequently endorsed by the Borrower to the Depositary Bank
or in blank. Each item of Property (including cash, a security, security
entitlement, investment property, instrument or obligation, share, participation,
interest or other property whatsoever) credited to any Account shall to the fullest
extent permitted by law be treated as a Financial Asset.
	 
	 	 	 	Until the Termination Date, the Collateral Agent shall have “control” (within the
meaning of Section 8-106(d)(2) or Section 9-104(a) (as applicable) of the UCC) of,
and shall be entitled to provide “entitlement orders” (within the meaning of Section
8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) with respect to, the Accounts and of the Borrower’s
“security entitlements” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) with
respect to the Financial Assets credited to the Accounts. All property delivered to
the Depositary Bank pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly credited to the
applicable Account in accordance with the terms hereof. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably directs, and the Depositary Bank (in its capacity as securities
intermediary) hereby agrees, that the Depositary Bank will comply with all
instructions and orders (including entitlement orders within the meaning of Section
8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) regarding each Account and any Financial Asset therein
originated by the Collateral Agent without the further consent of the Borrower or
any other Person. In the case of a conflict between any instruction or order
originated by the Collateral Agent and any instruction or order originated by the
Borrower or any other Person (other than a court of competent jurisdiction), the
instruction or order originated by the Collateral Agent shall prevail. The
Depositary Bank shall not change the name or account number of any Account without
the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) and at least five Business Days’ prior notice to
the Borrower, and shall not change the entitlement holder with respect to any
Financial Asset credited thereto.
	 
	 	 	 	To the extent that any of the Accounts are determined not to be “securities
accounts” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC), such Accounts shall
be deemed to be “deposit accounts” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC),
which the Borrower shall maintain with the Depositary Bank acting as a “bank”
(within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC) pursuant to Section
2.01(a)(i). The Depositary Bank shall credit the Accounts with all
receipts of interest, dividends and other income received on the Property held in
the Accounts. The Depositary Bank shall administer and manage the Accounts in
strict compliance with all the terms applicable to the Accounts pursuant to this
Agreement, and shall be subject to and comply with all the obligations of the
Depositary Bank with respect to the Accounts pursuant to the terms of this

Collateral Agency Agreement

-10-

 

	 	 	 	Agreement. The Depositary Bank hereby agrees to comply with any and all
instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing disposition of funds and
all other Property in the Accounts without any further consent of the Borrower or
any other Person.

	 	(c)	 	Jurisdiction of Depositary. The Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the
Depositary Bank agree that, for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement relating to
the establishment and operation of the Accounts, the jurisdiction of the Depositary
Bank (in its capacity as securities intermediary and as bank) is the State of New York
and the laws of the State of New York govern the establishment and operation of the
Accounts.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Degree of Care; Liens. The Depositary Bank shall exercise the same
degree of care in administering the funds held in the Accounts and the investments
purchased with such funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as the
Depositary Bank exercises in the ordinary course of its day-to-day business in
administering other funds and investments for its own account and as required by
applicable law. The Depositary Bank is not party to and shall not execute and deliver,
or otherwise become bound by, any agreement (other than this Agreement) under which the
Depositary Bank agrees with any Person other than the Collateral Agent (and, to the
extent set forth herein, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Replacement
Letter of Credit Administrative Agent, but subject to Section 2.01(b)) to comply with
entitlement orders or instructions originated by such Person relating to any of the
Accounts or the security entitlements that are the subject of this Agreement. The
Depositary Bank shall not grant or accept any Lien on any Financial Asset (other than
any Lien granted under the Security Documents) and shall, if any such Lien shall
nevertheless be created, use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the prompt
release or discharge of the same.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the
Depositary Bank has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise
a Lien over any Account or in any Depositary Collateral, the Depositary Bank agrees
that such Lien shall (except to the extent provided in the last sentence of this
Section 2.01(e)) be subordinate to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The Financial
Assets standing to the credit of the Accounts will not be subject to deduction,
set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the
Collateral Agent (except to the extent of Depositary Bank’s usual and customary charges
and returned items and chargebacks either for uncollected checks or other items of
payment and transfers previously credited to one or more of the Accounts including
automatic clearinghouse or other electronic entries and later reversed,
whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason and without regard for the
timeliness of return or reversal, and the Borrower and the Collateral Agent hereby
authorize the Depositary Bank to debit the applicable Accounts for such amounts).

Collateral Agency Agreement

-11-

 

	 	(f)	 	No Other Agreements. None of the Depositary Bank, the Collateral Agent
or the Borrower has entered or will enter into any agreement with respect to any
Account or any other Depositary Collateral, other than this Agreement and the other
Financing Documents.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Notice of Adverse Claims. The Depositary Bank hereby represents that,
except for the claims and interests of the Collateral Agent and the Borrower in the
Accounts, the Depositary Bank, (i) as of the Closing Date, has no knowledge of, and has
received no notice of, and (ii) as of each date on which any Account is established
pursuant to this Agreement, has received no notice of, any claim to, or interest in,
any Account or in any other Depositary Collateral. If any Person asserts any Lien
(including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar
process) against any Account or in any other Depositary Collateral, the Depositary
Bank, upon obtaining written notice thereof, will promptly notify the Collateral Agent
and the Borrower thereof.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Reports; Documents. The Depositary Bank shall provide to the
Borrower and the Agents, and the Administrative Agent and Replacement Letter of Credit
Administrative Agent in turn shall promptly provide to the Lenders and Replacement
Lenders, respectively, a monthly statement of all deposits to, disbursements from and
interest and earnings credited to each Account. The Depositary Bank shall retain
records of all receipts, disbursements and investments of funds with respect to the
Accounts until the third anniversary of the Termination Date. Upon written request,
the Depositary Bank shall provide the Borrower and the Agents with online access to
view all activity with respect to the Accounts.
	 
	 	(i)	 	Receipt of Certain Funds. If any Agent receives directly any amount
that is payable to an Account (due to such amount not being paid directly to the
applicable Account), such Agent (at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall
deposit such amount in the applicable Account, and the obligations of the Borrower to
deposit such amount into such Account shall be deemed satisfied upon such deposit.

	2.02	 	The Accounts.

	 	(a)	 	Establishment of Accounts. As of the Closing Date, the Depositary Bank
has established the following special, segregated and irrevocable collateral accounts
at its offices located in New York City bearing the names and account numbers
identified in Schedule I (such accounts, collectively, the “Accounts”) each of

Obligation Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Borrower.

	 	(b)	 	Account Names and Numbers. The names and account numbers of the
Accounts established hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date are set out on Schedule
I. The Depositary Bank shall advise the Agents and the Borrower in writing of the

Parties.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Each Account and all amounts from time to time held in such
Account shall be held in the custody of, and maintained by the Depositary Bank
for the purposes and on the express terms set out in this Agreement. All such
amounts shall constitute a part of the Depositary Collateral and shall not
constitute payment of any Secured Obligations or any other obligations of the
Borrower until expressly applied thereto in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement or the other Financing Documents.

	 	(e)	 	Standing Instructions. The Borrower and each Agent hereby irrevocably
instruct and authorize the Depositary Bank to deposit funds (promptly upon receipt
thereof) into, and transfer and withdraw funds from, the Accounts in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

	2.03	 	Grant of Lien on Accounts. As collateral security for the prompt and complete

in each Account, and all cash, investments, investment property, securities or other
property, including any security entitlements with respect to any of the foregoing, at any
time on deposit in or credited to any Account, including all income or gain earned thereon

with this Article III, funds held in any Account shall be invested and reinvested in
Permitted Investments (other than Permitted Investments set forth in clause (h) of the
definition thereof) by the Depositary Bank upon written direction of the
Borrower (which may be in the form of a standing instruction) or, if a Secured
Obligation Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, of the Collateral Agent,
only in Permitted Investments, and with respect to those amounts next anticipated to
be transferred or withdrawn, having a scheduled maturity no later than such next
anticipated cash withdrawal or transfer from such Account. In the event no written
instructions of the Borrower (or, if applicable of the Collateral Agent), is
received by 11:00 a.m., New York time on any Business Day, such funds shall be held
uninvested. All funds in an Account that are invested pursuant

Collateral Agency Agreement

-14-

 

	 	 	 	to this Section 3.01(a) shall be deemed to be held in such Account for purposes of this Agreement
and the other Financing Documents and shall constitute part of the Depositary
Collateral. The Borrower’s right to direct the manner of investment to the extent
provided in this Section 3.01(a) includes the right (i) to direct the Depositary
Bank to sell any Permitted Investment or hold it until maturity and (ii) upon any
sale or maturity of any Permitted Investment, to direct the Depositary Bank to
reinvest the proceeds thereof, plus any interest received by the Depositary Bank
thereon, in Permitted Investments or to hold such proceeds and interest for
application pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided
herein, net interest or gain received, if any, from such Permitted Investments shall
be deposited into the applicable Account until applied in accordance with Section
3.01(d). The Borrower shall bear all risk of loss of capital from investments in
Permitted Investments except to the extent that any such loss has resulted from the
Depositary Bank’s or the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no
appeal may be taken. It is agreed and understood that the Depositary Bank may earn
fees associated with the investments outlined above in accordance with the terms of
such investments. In no event shall the Depositary Bank be deemed an investment
manager or adviser in respect of any selection of investments hereunder. It is
understood and agreed that the Depositary Bank or its affiliates are permitted to
receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Depositary Bank’s
economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator,
shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of
the investments, (ii) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain investments
and (iii) effecting transactions in investments.

	 	(b)	 	Liability of Depositary Bank.

	 	(i)	 	The Depositary Bank shall not have any duty to determine
whether any investment or reinvestment of monies in any Account satisfies the
criteria set out in the definition of “Permitted Investments”.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Except as provided in Section 3.01(a) and Section 9.06, the
Depositary Bank shall not be liable for any loss or penalities resulting from
any investment in any Permitted Investment or the sale, disposition, redemption
or liquidation of such investment or by reason of the fact that the proceeds
realized in respect of such sale, disposition, redemption or liquidation were
less than that which might otherwise have been obtained.

	 	(c)	 	Liquidation to Make Disbursements. If and when cash is required for
the making of any transfer, disbursement or withdrawal in accordance with this Article
III, the Borrower or, if a Secured Obligation Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Collateral Agent, shall cause Permitted Investments to be sold or
otherwise liquidated into cash as and to the extent necessary in order to make such
transfers, disbursements or withdrawals required pursuant to this Article III by giving
written notice of such sale or liquidation to the Depositary Bank. Subject

	 	 	 	to Section 2.01, Section 3.04 and this Section 3.01, the Depositary Bank shall comply with any
written instruction from the Borrower with respect to any such liquidation of Permitted
Investments. In the event any such investments are redeemed prior to the maturity
thereof, the Depositary Bank shall not be liable for any loss or penalties relating
thereto.

any Account in Permitted Investments shall be deposited by the Depositary Bank into the
Construction Account, prior to the Conversion Date, and into the Revenue Account, from

following the month in which such interest, gain or other amount is earned and
received; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, such proceeds shall consist

of the monies on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account at such time
plus the aggregate available amount of any other DSR Letters of Credit
that are issued by an Acceptable Bank and (2) the remaining amount available to
be drawn under such DSR Letter of Credit. The Collateral Agent shall deposit

Agent to be adequate to pay the amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section
3.03(b)(iv) and (v)(A) and (D) on such Transfer Date or Quarterly Date (such
insufficiency, the “Debt Payment Deficiency”), (A) the Depositary Bank

the account of the Lenders and the Swap Banks, as applicable, an amount
equal to the Debt Payment Deficiency (or, if less, the aggregate amount of
funds then on deposit in or credited to the Debt Service Account) for
application, first, to that portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that
relates to amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(iv), and second, to that
portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that relates to amounts due pursuant
to Section 3.03(b)(v)(A) and (D), in each case in accordance with the
Financing Documents; and (B) if one or more DSR Letters of Credit are then
in effect and, after giving effect to the transfer pursuant to the
immediately preceding subclause (A), a Debt Payment Deficiency remains, the
Collateral Agent shall make a drawing on such DSR Letters of Credit in an
amount equal to such remaining Debt

account of the Lenders and the Swap Banks, as applicable, to pay the
remaining Debt Payment Deficiency in accordance with the priorities set

amount of funds up to the Excess Reserve Amount from the Debt Service Reserve
Account to the Revenue Account as specified in a certificate signed by an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower (and countersigned by the Collateral Agent),

Issuing Lender a reduction certificate in the form attached to such DSR Letter
of Credit or otherwise in a form satisfactory to such DSR Issuing Lender in the
amount of such remaining Excess Reserve Amount, and the face amount of such DSR
Letter of Credit may be reduced as provided in such certificate.

Credit to the Debt Service Reserve Account and such DSR Letter of Credit
shall be subject to all the terms of this Section 3.03(d).

Agent to take any action in respect of the Collateral other than in accordance with
the terms hereof. The Collateral is vested in and held by the Collateral Agent or
its agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and only the Collateral Agent,
acting on the written instructions of the Required Secured Parties, has the right to
take actions (and exercise rights, remedies and options) with respect to the
Collateral.
	 
	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, nothing herein shall preclude any Secured Party from enforcing (or
refraining to enforce) the provisions of its Secured Obligation Document in respect
of the property, assets or other rights described in Section 5.03, and no such
action (or inaction) shall require the consent or approval of (or notification to)
any Person other than such Secured Party.
	 
	 	 	 	If the Collateral Agent receives a Remedies Direction directing the Collateral Agent
to commence a Foreclosure Action, the Collateral Agent shall notify each other
Secured Party of such Remedies Direction.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any action (including any Foreclosure Action) which has been requested pursuant
to a Remedies Direction may be modified, supplemented, terminated and/or countermanded
if the Collateral Agent shall have received either (i) a revocation notice from the
Required Secured Parties or (ii) a written notice from the Required Secured Parties
which contains different or supplemental directions with respect to such action.

	 	(c)	 	At the direction of the Required Secured Parties pursuant to a Remedies
Direction, the Collateral Agent shall seek to enforce the Security Documents and to
realize upon the Collateral or, in the case of any Event of Default under clause (f) or
(g) of Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement (or equivalent provision under any
Replacement Letter of Credit Facility) in respect of the Borrower of which the
Collateral Agent has been notified in writing by the Administrative Agent, to seek to
enforce the claims of the Secured Parties under the Financing Documents in respect
thereof; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to follow any Remedies Direction as to which the Collateral Agent has
received a written opinion of counsel to the effect that such Remedies Direction is in
conflict with any provisions of applicable law, this Agreement or any other Financing
Document or any order of any court or Governmental Authority. The Collateral Agent
shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to any other Secured Party or any other
Person for following with reasonable care the written directions of the Required
Secured Parties.
	 
	 	(d)	 	If the Administrative Agent is directed to accelerate the Loans in accordance
with the Credit Agreement, the Replacement Letter of Credit Administrative Agent is
directed to accelerate the Replacement Letter of Credit Loans in accordance with
the Replacement Letter of Credit Facility or any Swap Bank determines to declare (or
take other action resulting in) an early termination of its Permitted Swap Agreement
then such Secured Party shall deliver to each other Secured Party within two
Business Days of receipt of such direction or of such determination, as the case may
be, a written notice to that effect to the Agents in order to permit the Secured
Parties to coordinate the timing of the acceleration and early termination of their
respective Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
this Agreement, the requisite number of Secured Parties specified in any Secured
Obligation Document may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance
of a Secured Obligation Event of Default under such Secured Obligation Document
accelerate the Secured Obligations thereunder or cause the early termination of the
relevant Permitted Swap Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

	7.03	 	Insolvency Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under clause (f) or (g) of Section 7.01 of the
Credit Agreement (or equivalent provisions under the Replacement Letter of Credit Facility),
(a) the unutilized Commitments and commitments under the Replacement Letter of Credit Facility
shall forthwith terminate immediately and (b) all principal of and accrued interest in respect
of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party shall be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind whatsoever, in each case as provided in
Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.
	 
	7.04	 	Allocation of Collateral Proceeds. Upon the acceleration of the Secured Obligations,
the proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of any
or all of the Collateral or the enforcement of any Security Document shall be applied in
accordance with Section 3.06.

Collateral Agency Agreement

	7.05	 	Restrictions on Enforcement of Liens. Until the Termination Date, except to the
extent directed or consented to by the Required Secured Parties, no Secured Party will:

	 	(a)	 	oppose or otherwise contest (or support any other Person in contesting) any
motion for relief from the automatic stay or for any injunction against foreclosure or
enforcement of Liens granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, made by the Collateral Agent, acting at the written direction of, or as
consented to by, the Required Secured Parties, in any insolvency or liquidation
proceeding of the Borrower; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	oppose or otherwise contest (or support any other Person in contesting) any
lawful exercise by the Collateral Agent, acting at the written direction of, or as
consented to by, the Required Secured Parties, of the right to credit bid the Secured
Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent, the
Replacement Letter of Credit Administrative Agent and the Swap Bank on behalf of the
applicable Secured Parties hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to credit bid all
or any portion of such holder’s Secured Obligations on a pro-rata basis with all
other Secured Obligations when and as directed by the Required Secured Parties,
provided that such credit bid is approved in writing by the Lenders, the Replacement
Lenders and the Swap Banks;

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this
Agreement, during the occurrence of an Event of Default under clause (f) or (g) of Section 7.01 of
the Credit Agreement (or equivalent provisions under the Replacement Letter of Credit Facility) of
which it has been notified in writing by the Administrative Agent : (A) the Collateral Agent may
take such actions as it deems desirable to create, prove, preserve or protect the Liens upon any
Collateral without the prior consent of the Required Secured Parties; (B) nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement,
and (C) except for actions that are expressly prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, any holder
of Secured Obligations and any Secured Party may take any actions and exercise any and all rights
that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims (including, without limitation, (I) the
commencement of an insolvency or liquidation proceeding against the Borrower in accordance with
applicable law, (II) the acceleration of the Secured Obligations under and in accordance with the
relevant Secured Obligation Document, and (III) the termination of any agreement by the holder of
any Secured Obligation in accordance with the terms thereof).

7.06 Waiver of Marshalling; No Contest.

	 	(a)	 	Prior to the Termination Date, no Secured Party may assert or enforce any right
of marshalling accorded to a holder of Secured Obligations, as against the holders of
any other Secured Obligations.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each Secured Party hereto agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right
to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any
insolvency or liquidation proceeding), the priority, validity, perfection or

Collateral Agency Agreement

-34-

 

	 	 	 	enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Secured Parties in the
Collateral as contemplated by the Security Documents or the provisions of this
Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or
impair the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Bank, any Administrative
Agent, the Replacement Letter of Credit Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to
enforce this Agreement.

	 	 
	 
	7.07	 	Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. Prior to the Termination Date, if the
Borrower shall be subject to any insolvency or liquidation proceeding and the Collateral Agent
(acting at the written direction of the Required Secured Parties) shall desire to permit the
use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term in is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code), with respect to any Collateral or to
permit the Borrower to obtain financing, whether from the Secured Parties or any other
Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP
Financing”), then each Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection to such Cash
Collateral use or DIP Financing so long as (a) each Secured Party retains the right to
object to such use of Cash Collateral or to the granting of any priming liens over any
Collateral if the terms thereof, including the terms of adequate protection (if any) granted
to the Secured Parties in connection therewith, do not provide for materially equal
treatment to all Secured Parties in their capacities as such (it being expressly understood
and agreed that if any Secured Party provides DIP Financing to the Borrower, nothing herein
shall preclude such provider of DIP Financing from having the priming liens in respect of
such DIP Financing as provided under Applicable Law), (b) each Secured Party retains the
right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the DIP Financing that
are materially prejudicial to their interests (unless such ancillary agreements or
arrangements, including without limitation any adequate protection orders, are equally
materially prejudicial to all Secured Parties, in which case there shall be no independent
right of a Secured Party to object), (c) the DIP Financing (i) does not compel the Borrower
to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all
of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document
and (ii) does not expressly require the liquidation of any Collateral prior to a default
under the DIP Financing documentation and (d) if any Cash Collateral order contemplates the
liquidation of Collateral, such order provides that the liens of the Secured Parties will
attach to the proceeds of such liquidation equally and ratably.

	8.02	 	Modification and Exercise of Discretion. Unless any Secured Obligation Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and only to the extent in all cases that the
discretion exercised by or the actions taken by the applicable Agent could not reasonably be
expected to result in any Secured Obligation Event of Default or have a material adverse
effect on the interests of any Secured Party, any Agent may, without obtaining the consent of
the Required Secured Parties or any Secured Party other than as set forth in Section 8.03,
Modify any Financing Document to which it is a party by entering into an amendment to such
Financing Document with the Borrower in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or to cure, correct or
supplement any
provision contained therein which is or appears to be inconsistent with any other provisions
contained in such Financing Document or in any other Financing Document (including without
limitation any administrative mistakes or omissions), (ii) correct any typographical errors,
drafting mistakes or other similar mistakes that do not modify the intended rights and
obligations of the parties thereto, (iii) implement the terms of any additional obligations
or refinancing of Indebtedness of the Borrower, as contemplated by, and to the extent
permitted by, the terms of the relevant Financing Documents, (iv) change the manner, place
or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, the Secured
Obligations set forth in the applicable Secured Obligation Document to which it is a party,
or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Secured Obligation Document, or, other
than this Agreement or the other Security Documents, any instrument evidencing such Secured
Obligations or any agreement under which such Secured Obligations are outstanding, (v)
release any Person or entity liable in any manner for the collection of the Secured
Obligations set forth in the applicable Secured Obligation Document to which it is a party,
(vi) subject to the terms of this Agreement, exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against the Borrower and (vii) make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to the Secured Parties or that does not adversely affect the legal rights
thereunder of any Secured Party.
	 
	8.03	 	Effect of Amendment on Agents. No party hereto shall amend any provision of any
Financing Document that materially affects any Agent without the written consent of the
applicable Agent.

validly given by a Person authorized to do so and act upon such notice or
certificate unless the same is revoked or superseded by a further such notice
or certificate;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	assume, absent written notice received by it to the contrary,
that the address, telecopy and telephone numbers for the giving of any written
notice to any Person hereunder is that identified in Section 9.01 of the Credit
Agreement or in the Accession Agreement to which such Person is a party until
the Collateral Agent has received from such Person a written notice designating
some other office of such Person to replace any such address, telecopy or
telephone number, and act upon any such notice until the same is superseded by
a further such written notice;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	employ at the expense of the Borrower in accordance with
Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, attorneys, accountants or other experts
whose advice or services the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine is

advice or service of any such Person and may rely upon any advice so obtained;
provided that the Collateral Agent shall be under no

Collateral Agency Agreement

	 	 	 	obligation to act upon such advice if it does not deem such action to be
appropriate;
	 
	 	(v)	 	rely on any matters of fact which might reasonably be expected
to be within the knowledge of any Person upon a certificate signed by or on
behalf of such party;

it shall have received such indemnity or security from the Secured Parties as
it may reasonably require (whether by payment in advance or otherwise) for all
reasonable costs, claims, losses, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) and liabilities which it will or may expend or incur in complying or
continuing to comply with such instructions; provided that nothing in
this subclause (vii) shall be deemed to obligate any Secured Party to provide
any such indemnity or security; and
	 
	 	(viii)	 	seek instructions from the Required Secured Parties or the Adminstrative
Agent, as applicable, as to the exercise of any of its rights, powers,
authorities or discretions hereunder (including any consents, notices,
requests, amendments, waivers, modifications, acceptances or remedies), and in
the event that it does so, it shall not be considered as having acted
unreasonably when acting in accordance with such written instructions or, in
the absence of any (or any clear) written instructions, when refraining from
taking any action or exercising any right, power or discretion hereunder.

	 	(b)	 	The Collateral Agent shall:

	 	(i)	 	promptly deliver to the Secured Parties or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, the notices, certificates, reports, opinions, agreements
and other documents which it receives under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents in its capacity as Collateral Agent;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	except as otherwise expressly provided in any Financing

refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it

under this Section 9.03).

Collateral Agency Agreement

	 	(c)	 	Without limiting the generality of Section 9.03(b), the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent shall, in exercising its rights and
performing its obligations under the other Financing Documents, act in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

	9.04	 	No Responsibility for Certain Conduct.

	 	(a)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, the
Collateral Agent shall not:

	 	(i)	 	be bound to inquire as to (w) whether or not any representation
made by any other Person in connection with any Transaction Document is true,
(x) the occurrence or otherwise of any Secured Obligation Default or Secured
Obligation Event of Default, (y) the performance by any other Person of its
obligations under any of the Transaction Documents or (z) any breach of or
default by any other Person of its obligations under any of the Transaction
Documents;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	be bound to account to any Person for any sum or the profit
element of any sum received by it for its own account except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	be bound to disclose to any Person any information relating to
the Project or to any Person if such disclosure would, or might in its
reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any applicable law or be otherwise
actionable at the suit of any Person.

	 	(b)	 	The Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of any information supplied by any Person (other than itself) in
connection with the Project or for the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or
enforceability of any Transaction Document or any other document referred to herein or
provided for herein or therein or for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by the Borrower or any other Person contained in this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document or in any certificate or other document referred to or
provided for, or received by the Collateral Agent, hereunder or thereunder. The
Collateral Agent shall not be liable as a result of any failure by the Borrower or its
Affiliates or any Person (except itself to the extent of the Collateral Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct) party hereto or to any other Transaction Document to
perform their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document
or any document referred to or provided for herein or therein or as a result of taking
or omitting to take any action hereunder or in relation to any Transaction Document.
	 
	 	(c)	 	It is understood and agreed by each Secured Party (for itself and any other
Person claiming through it) that, except as expressly set forth herein, it has itself
been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent
appraisal of, and investigations into, the financial condition, creditworthiness,

Collateral Agency Agreement

-39-

 

	 	 	 	condition, affairs, status and nature of each Person and, accordingly, each such
Secured Party warrants to the Collateral Agent that it has not relied on and will
not hereafter rely on the Collateral Agent:

	 	(i)	 	to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy
or completeness of any information provided by any Person in connection with
any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions therein contemplated
(whether or not such information has been or is hereafter circulated to such
Person by the Collateral Agent); or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial
condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of any
Person.

	 	(d)	 	In the event the Collateral Agent is instructed in writing to take any action
under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, the Collateral Agent may refuse
to take such action in the event that, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, the
Collateral Agent determines that taking such action either would be contrary to
applicable laws or regulations or would cause the Collateral Agent to incur liability
for which the Collateral Agent has not been indemnified or secured against to its
satisfaction.

	9.05	 	Defaults. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
the occurrence of any Secured Obligation Default or Secured Obligation Event of Default unless
the Collateral Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligation Default or Secured
Obligation Event of Default referring to this Agreement, describing such Secured Obligation
Default or Secured Obligation Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default.” If the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge of a Secured Obligation Default or
Secured Obligation Event of Default or receives such a Notice of Default, the Collateral Agent
shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Replacement Letter of Credit
Administrative Agent and the Swap Banks. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with
respect to such Secured Obligation Default or Secured Obligation Event of Default as is
provided in this Agreement and Article VII of the Credit Agreement; provided,
however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received a Remedies Direction, it may (but
shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such Secured Obligation Default or Secured Obligation Event of Default as it shall deem
advisable and in the best interest of the Secured Parties and any such action so taken shall
be deemed to be taken pursuant to a Remedies Direction.
	 
	9.06	 	Liability.

	 	(a)	 	Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Depositary Bank nor any of their officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Person for any action taken or
omitted under this Agreement or under the other Financing Documents, or in connection
therewith, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank, as determined

Collateral Agency Agreement

-40-

 

	 	 	 	by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken. The Secured
Parties party hereto each (for itself and any Person claiming through it) hereby
releases, waives, discharges and exculpates the Collateral Agent and the Depositary
Bank for any action taken or omitted under this Agreement or under the other Financing
Documents, or in connection therewith, except to the extent caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank (as the
case may be), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment
from which no appeal may be taken.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Neither the Depositary Bank nor the Collateral Agent shall not incur any
liability for not performing any act or not fulfilling any duty, obligation or
responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the
Depositary Bank or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be (including any act or
provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act
of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of
terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other
wire or communication facility).

	9.07	 	Indemnity. Each Secured Party shall, from time to time on demand by the Collateral
Agent or the Depositary Bank, indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank in
proportion to (a) prior to any acceleration of the Secured Obligations, its pro rata share of
the aggregate of the undrawn Commitments and commitments under any Replacement Letter of
Credit Facility and the outstanding principal amount of Secured Obligations and (b) following
any acceleration of the Secured Obligations, its pro rata share of outstanding principal of
Secured Obligations at the time of demand (or, if all outstanding principal have then been
repaid in full, immediately prior to the final repayment thereof), against any and all costs,
claims, losses, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) and liabilities, which
the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank may incur on or after the date hereof in acting in
its capacity as the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable, hereunder and
under the other Financing Documents, other than by reason of its own respective gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Secured Party
shall reimburse the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank promptly upon demand for its
ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
incurred by it in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement
of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Transaction Documents,
to the extent that the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank are not promptly reimbursed
for such expenses by the Borrower. The provisions of this Section 9.07 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

	9.08	 	Resignation and Removal.

	 	(a)	 	Subject to Section 9.09, either the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank may
resign from its appointment hereunder at any time without providing any reason

Collateral Agency Agreement

-41-

 

	 	 	 	therefor by giving 30 days prior written notice to that effect to each of the other parties
hereto.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Subject to Section 9.09, the Required Secured Parties, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Borrower, may remove
either the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank from its appointments hereunder with
or without cause by giving 30 days prior written notice to that effect to each of the
other parties hereto.

	9.09	 	Successor Collateral Agents and Depositary Banks.

	 	(a)	 	No resignation or removal pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be effective until:

	 	(i)	 	a successor for the Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank, as the
case may be, is appointed in accordance with (and subject to) the provisions of
this Section 9.09;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the resigning Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank, as the case
may be, has transferred to its successor (A) all of its rights and obligations
in its capacity as a Collateral Agent or a Depositary Bank, as the case may be,
under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and (B) all
documentation held by it and relating to the Financing Documents (other than
such documentation that the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank, as the
case may be, is required to retain pursuant to applicable law); and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the successor Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank, as the case
may be, has executed and delivered an agreement to be bound by the terms of
this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to perform all duties
required of Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank, as the case may be, hereunder
and under the other Financing Documents;

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, a removal of a Collateral Agent or Depositary
Bank shall be effective notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of clause (a)(ii) above.

	 	(b)	 	If the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank has given notice of its
resignation pursuant to Section 9.08(a) or if the Required Secured Parties give the
Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank notice of removal thereof pursuant to Section
9.08(b), then a successor to the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank, as the case
may be, may be appointed by the Required Secured Parties (and, unless a Secured
Obligation Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the
written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or
delayed) during a 30 day period beginning on the date of such notice but, if no such
successor is so appointed within 30 days after the above notice, the resigning or
removed Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank may appoint such a successor or petition
to a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint such a successor. If a resigning or
removed Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank, or a court of competent jurisdiction
appoints a successor, such successor shall (i) be authorized under all applicable
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (ii) have a

Collateral Agency Agreement

-42-

 

	 	 	 	combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and (iii) be acceptable to the
Required Secured Parties (and, unless a Secured Obligation Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, approval by which shall not unreasonably be
withheld or delayed).
	 
	 	(c)	 	If a successor to the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank is appointed
under the provisions of this Section 9.09, then:

	 	(i)	 	the predecessor Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank, as the
case may be, shall be discharged from any further obligation hereunder (but
without prejudice to any accrued liabilities);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the resignation pursuant to Section 9.08(a) or removal pursuant
to Section 9.08(b) of the predecessor Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank, as
the case may be, notwithstanding, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure
to the predecessor Collateral Agent’s benefit or Depositary Bank’s benefit, as
the case may be, as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under
this Agreement and the other Financing Documents while it was Collateral Agent
or Depositary Bank, as the case may be; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the successor Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank, as the case
may be, and each of the other parties hereto shall have the same rights and
obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor
Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank, as the case may be, had been a party
hereto beginning on the date of this Agreement.

	9.10	 	Authorization. The Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank are each hereby
authorized to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which the

remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies
which any party hereto would otherwise have. No notice to or demand by any party hereto or

rights of any party hereto or any Secured Party to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.
	 
	10.02	 	Notices. All notices, payment instructions, Remedies Directions and other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be (a) in writing and be

jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
	 
	10.10	 	Conflict with Other Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the

Parties against any liabilities, costs, claims, expenses, penalties and interest resulting

a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken.
	 
	10.16	 	Filing Fees, Excise Taxes, Etc. The Borrower agrees to pay or to reimburse each
Agent promptly on demand for any and all amounts in respect of all search, filing and
recording fees, taxes, excise taxes, sales taxes and other similar imposts which may be
payable or determined to be payable in respect of the execution, delivery, performance and

is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense,

ARTICLE II

PARENT SUPPORT

          2.01. Undertakings.

          (a) Contribution.

               (i) Base Equity Contribution Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and
as a condition precedent to the Initial Extension of Credit Date, the Parent hereby agrees to make
equity contributions to the Borrower (each such contribution, a “Base Equity Contribution”)
from time to time in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Base Equity Contribution
Amount. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that as of June 30, 2010, the Borrower has
made Base Equity Contributions aggregating $11,850,000 and as more further described in the
Parent’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended on June 30, 2010 filed with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

               (ii) Base Equity Contribution. The Parent shall pay Base Equity Contributions made
after the date hereof to the Collateral Agent and identify in writing such contributions to the
Collateral Agent as Base Equity Contributions pursuant to Section 2.01(c) for deposit into the
Construction Account and application in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement. Upon the
payment by the Parent of each Base Equity Contribution, the Parent shall be deemed to have made an
equity contribution to the Borrower in the amount of such portion of the Base Equity Contribution
Amount.

               (iii) Contingent Equity Contributions. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Parent hereby agrees to make equity contributions to the Borrower (each such contribution, a
“Contingent Equity Contribution”) from time to time until the Support Termination Date in
an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Contingent Equity Contribution Amount. Contingent
Equity Contributions shall be provided by the Parent from time to time, only (A) following the
funding in full of the Base Equity Contribution Amount and the full utilization of the Term Loan
Commitments, in such amounts that, when added to the amount then on deposit in the Construction
Account, are sufficient to enable the Borrower to pay Project Costs then due and payable or
anticipated to be due and payable through and including the immediately succeeding Transfer Date
and (B) upon the occurrence and continuance of an Acceleration Event in an amount equal to the
Accelerated Contribution Amount on the applicable Funding Date.

               (iv) Construction Contribution Date. The Borrower shall deliver to the Parent (with a
copy thereof delivered to each Agent) an Equity Contribution Request at any time a Contingent
Equity Contribution is required to be made in accordance with clause (A) of the second sentence of
Section 2.01(a)(iii). Each such Equity Contribution Request shall specify (x) the Project Costs then due and payable and anticipated to be due and payable through and
including the immediately succeeding Transfer Date, (y) the aggregate amount of such Equity
Contribution Request (the “Construction Contribution Funding Amount”) and (z) the requested
date of contribution (which shall be at least five Business Days before such Transfer Date) (a
“Construction Contribution Date”). On each Construction Contribution Date, the Parent
shall

Equity Contribution Agreement

 - 4 -

 

make a Contingent Equity Contribution in an amount equal to the Construction Contribution
Funding Amount required to be made on such Construction Contribution Date, which shall be paid to
the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.01(c) for deposit into the Construction Account and
application in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement. Upon the payment by the Parent of
the Construction Contribution Funding Amount, the Parent shall be deemed to have made an equity
contribution to the Borrower in the amount of the Construction Contribution Funding Amount.

               (v) Equity Contribution Requests by the Collateral Agent. Without limitation of
Section 2.01(b), if the Borrower has failed to deliver an Equity Contribution Request with respect
to any Contingent Equity Contribution as required pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iv), the Collateral
Agent (acting at the written direction of the Administrative Agent) may deliver an Equity
Contribution Request (each, a “Collateral Agent Contribution Request”) in accordance with
Section 2.01(a)(iv), on behalf of the Borrower, and the Parent shall comply with such Collateral
Agent Contribution Request as if delivered by the Borrower; in the event of any inconsistency
between a Collateral Agent Contribution Request and an Equity Contribution Request, the Collateral
Agent Contribution Request shall, absent manifest error, be determinative.

          (b) Accelerated Contribution. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Acceleration Event, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to instruct the Collateral Agent in
writing to, and, if so instructed, the Collateral Agent shall, deliver a written demand to the
Parent requesting payment by the Parent of the Accelerated Contribution Amount as of such date and
providing notice to the Parent of the occurrence of such Acceleration Event. Within three Business
Days following such demand (the “Accelerated Contribution Date”), the Parent shall pay to
the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement the
Accelerated Contribution Amount in full pursuant to Section 2.01(c). Upon the occurrence of any
Acceleration Event, the Accelerated Contribution Amount of the Parent shall automatically become
due and payable without (except as expressly set forth in the preceding sentence) presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Parent. Upon
the payment by the Parent of the Accelerated Contribution Amount to the Collateral Agent, the
Parent shall be deemed to have made an equity contribution to the Borrower in the amount of such
Accelerated Contribution Amount.

          (c) Payment of Funding Amounts.

               (i) Not later than 12:00 noon New York time one Business Day prior to each Funding Date, the
Parent shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing whether it intends to pay the applicable
Funding Amount directly (such notice, a “Funding Notice”) or whether the Collateral Agent
should draw upon the Contingent Equity LC in the amount of such Funding Amount. Subject to clause
(ii) below, if the Parent has elected to fund the applicable Funding Amount directly, it shall pay
such Funding Amount on the applicable Funding Date to the Collateral Agent, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, for deposit into the
Construction Account and as specified in this Agreement for application in accordance with the
Collateral Agency Agreement. If the Parent has elected that the Collateral Agent draw upon the
Contingent Equity LC (or if no Funding Notice is provided by the Parent or if no election is
specified in the Funding Notice), the Collateral Agent shall draw upon the Contingent Equity LC in
the amount

Equity Contribution Agreement

 - 5 -

 

of such Funding Amount on the applicable Funding Date and shall deposit the proceeds of
such draw (or draws) into the Construction Account for application in accordance with the
Collateral Agency Agreement.

               (ii) Any draw upon the Contingent Equity LC paid to the Collateral Agent in accordance with
the terms of the Contingent Equity LC shall satisfy the funding obligations of the Parent in
respect of the applicable Funding Amount and shall be deemed to be an equity contribution to the
Borrower as provided herein.

               (iii) In the event that the Parent funds any Funding Amount without resort to a draw on the
Contingent Equity LC, the Collateral Agent shall reduce the amount available for drawing on the
Contingent Equity LC by an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which such amount available for
drawing exceeds the Maximum Available Contingent Equity Contribution Amount by delivering a
Reduction Certificate to the issuer of the Contingent Equity LC.

          (d) Contingent Equity LC.

               (i) To secure the obligations of the Parent to fund Contingent Equity Contributions, the
Parent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent as a condition precedent to the Initial Extension of
Credit Date, and maintain until the Support Termination Date, the Contingent Equity LC in an
aggregate available face amount initially equal to the Contingent Equity Contribution Amount.

               (ii) Upon the failure of the Parent to make payment when due in respect of any Funding Amount,
the Collateral Agent shall make a drawing under the Contingent Equity LC in an amount equal to the
amount of such payment of a Funding Amount not made by the Parent when due and shall promptly,
deposit or cause to be deposited the proceeds thereof in the Construction Account for application
in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement. Any such drawing shall be deemed to satisfy
the funding obligations of the Parent in respect of the applicable Funding Amount.

               (iii) Upon the Support Termination Date, the Collateral Agent shall return the Contingent
Equity LC to the issuer thereof together with a written request from the Collateral Agent to cancel
the Contingent Equity LC.

               (iv) If either (x) the Collateral Agent receives written notice from the issuer of the
Contingent Equity LC that such issuer has elected not to renew the Contingent Equity LC (which
notice the Collateral Agent shall promptly forward to the Administrative Agent) and on the
30th day prior to the expiration date thereof the Collateral Agent has not received a
replacement Contingent Equity LC (such date, the “Non-Renewal Drawing Date”) or (y) the
Borrower, the Parent or any Secured Party notifies the Collateral Agent in writing of a
Negative Credit Event with respect to the issuer of the Contingent Equity LC and the Parent
has failed to deliver a replacement Contingent Equity LC within the earlier of (1) five Business
Days after such Negative Credit Event and (2) two Business Days prior to the then expiration date
of the Contingent Equity LC (the earlier of (1) and (2), the “Collateral Agent Negative Credit
Event Drawing Date”), then, in the case of either (x) or (y), the Collateral Agent shall make a
drawing

under the Contingent Equity LC in an amount equal to the full available amount of the
Contingent Equity LC, at any time, in the case of clause (x), on or after the Non-Renewal Drawing
Date, or, in the case of clause (y), after the Collateral Agent Negative Credit Event Drawing Date,
and in the case of both clauses (x) and (y), in accordance with the terms of the Contingent Equity
LC, and deposit the proceeds thereof in the Construction Account as cash collateral on behalf of
the Parent.

               (v) All fees, costs and expenses in connection with the issuance and/or maintenance of the
Contingent Equity LC shall be for the account of the Parent or an Affiliate of the Parent (other
than the Borrower).

               (vi) For avoidance of doubt, each of the Borrower and the Parent acknowledges and agrees that
the Borrower shall not be the account party in respect of the Contingent Equity LC, and that any
such letter of credit shall not otherwise constitute Indebtedness of the Borrower or be secured by
a Lien on any of the property of the Borrower.

          2.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent under Section 2.01 are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity or enforceability of
any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any
substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Secured
Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
of their undertakings hereunder, it being the intent of this Section 2.02 that the obligations of
the Parent hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, under any and all circumstances. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of
the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Parent hereunder which shall remain
absolute and unconditional as described above:

     (a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Parent, the time for any
performance of, or compliance with, any of the Secured Obligations or any of the obligations
of the Borrower under any other Transaction Document shall be extended, or such performance
or compliance shall be waived;

     (b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any Transaction Document or
any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

     (c) the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Secured Obligations or any of the obligations of the Borrower under any other Transaction
Document shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or
any right under any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred
to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Secured
Obligations or any of the obligations of the Borrower under any other Transaction Document
or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise
dealt with;

Equity Contribution Agreement

     (d) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party or any party to a Transaction Document as security for any of the
Secured Obligations (including without limitation Liens intended to be created by the
Security Documents) or any of the obligations of the Borrower under any other Transaction
Document shall fail to be perfected or shall be released;

     (e) the performance or failure to perform by the Parent of its obligations hereunder,
or under any other agreement, or by the condition (financial, legal or otherwise), affairs,

of assets and liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, custodianship, insolvency,

          The Parent hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all
notices whatsoever (other than any notices required under this Agreement) and any requirement that
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any party to a Transaction Document exhaust any
right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement, any other Transaction
Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under
any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Secured Obligations or any of the obligations
of the Borrower under any other Transaction Document.

          2.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Parent under this Article II shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of
the Parent under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by the Borrower or the
Collateral Agent to the Parent as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy and the Parent agrees
that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by such Secured Party
in connection with such rescission or restoration.

          2.04. Subrogation. Until the Termination Date, the Parent will not exercise any
rights of subrogation or contribution against the Borrower, whether arising by contract or
operation of law or otherwise (including, without limitation, any such right arising under
applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law), by reason of any payment by the Parent (including any
draw on the Contingent Equity LC) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the issuance,
provision or maintenance of the Contingent Equity LC.
