                the original notice stating that the Default
                is
                no longer continuing. The Security Trustee may rely on the second
                notice

                Documents.

                Trustee
                against that amount and must pay its Share to the Security Trustee
                within
                3
                Business Days of demand (the Share of a Beneficiary being determined,
                as

                any Beneficiary is a natural person then that Beneficiary will not
                be
                required to indemnify the Security Trustee under this clause 6.15(b)
                and

                from that
                Beneficiary.
