The Note Insurer’s obligations hereunder with respect to a particular Insured Payment shall be discharged to the extent funds equal to the applicable Insured Payment are received by the Indenture Trustee, whether or not such funds are properly applied by the Indenture Trustee. Insured Payments shall be made only at the time set forth in this Policy, and no accelerated Insured Payments shall be made regardless of any acceleration of the Obligations, unless such acceleration is at the sole option of the Note Insurer.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this Policy does not cover shortfalls, if any, attributable to the liability of any person for withholding taxes, if any (including interest and penalties in respect of any such liability).

Such payments shall be disbursed to the receiver or trustee in bankruptcy named in the final order of the court exercising jurisdiction on behalf of the Noteholder and not to any Noteholder directly unless such Noteholder has returned principal or interest paid on the Obligations to such receiver or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case such payment shall be disbursed to such Noteholder.


The Note Insurer will pay any Deficiency Amount payable hereunder no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the later of the Payment Date on which the related Deficiency Amount is due or the second Business Day following receipt in New York, New York on a Business Day by U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as Fiscal Agent for the Note Insurer or any successor fiscal agent appointed by the Note Insurer (the “Fiscal Agent”) of a Notice (as described below); provided that if such Notice is received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Business Day, it will be deemed to be received on the following Business Day. If any such Notice received by the Fiscal Agent is not in proper form or is otherwise insufficient for the purpose of making claim hereunder, it shall be deemed not to have been received by the Fiscal Agent for purposes of this paragraph, and the Note Insurer or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly so advise the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may submit an amended Notice.

 

Insured Payments due hereunder, unless otherwise stated herein, will be disbursed by the Fiscal Agent to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of the Insured Payment less, in respect of Insured Payments related to Preference Amounts, any amount held by the Indenture Trustee for the payment of such Insured Payment and legally available therefor.
