The Trustee shall have no liability for losses on any investments made hereunder. Any amounts earned on funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be added to amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account. Amounts deposited in the Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 10.9(a) or pursuant to Section 10.11(c) are referred to herein as the Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed by the Trustee upon the occurrence of (i) a Note Event of Default (as defined in the Trust Agreement), other than a Note Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(c) or (f) of this Indenture unless such Note Event of Default results in a declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 5.2(a) of this Indenture, or (ii) an Event of Default set forth in clause (b) or (c) of the definition of Event of Default in the Trust Agreement, at such times and in such amounts as designated by the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities in their sole discretion in respect of OHT IIs repayment obligations of the Preferred Securities, provided that any disbursements made by the Trustee pursuant to a Note Event of Default caused by an Event of Default under Section 5.1(a) of the Indenture shall be in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of all distributions then in default.

Upon the earlier of (x) compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio, (y) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 of this Indenture and (z) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 13.2 of this Indenture, as certified to the Trustee pursuant to a certificate delivered to the Trustee by the Company and the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities, the balance of the Reserve Fund then in the Trustees possession shall be paid over to the Company.

(iii) Under no circumstances shall the Trustee as beneficiary under the Letter of Credit be required to transfer the Letter of Credit to a second beneficiary.
