6.1          Defend Against Claims.

It shall, at its expense, defend the Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ interest in the Assigned Revenues and the Secured Collateral against the claims and demands of all other Persons, and it shall appear in and defend any action, suit or proceeding which may affect its title to the Secured Collateral or the Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ interest in the Assigned Revenues or the Secured Collateral.

It shall not, and shall not agree to, (a) create, incur the creation of, assume, suffer to exist or permit any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Assigned Revenues and the Secured Collateral, except for the Liens granted pursuant hereto and other Permitted Liens, nor (b) sell, assign, transfer, convey, set over, surrender or otherwise dispose of, or grant any right or interest with respect to, any of the Assigned Revenues and the Secured Collateral, except as permitted by Section 8.5 of the Common Agreement.

6.3          Taxes.

It shall pay or arrange for payment prior to delinquency of all Taxes and all other charges now or hereafter imposed upon, relating to or affecting any Assigned Revenues or the Secured Collateral, either by reason of the execution, issue, delivery, registration, notarization, perfection, performance, or for the legality, validity or enforceability, of this Agreement or otherwise, except as otherwise permitted by Section 7.14 of the Common Agreement.

6.4          Place of Business; Records.

It shall:  (a) keep its place(s) of business and chief executive office and the office(s) where it keeps its records concerning the Assigned Revenues and the Secured Collateral located at the addresses set forth in Schedule 4 or, upon [•] days’ prior written notice to the Trustee of its intention to establish or relocate to a new office, at such other locations in a jurisdiction in which all action required to perfect and maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests granted or purported to be granted by this Agreement shall have previously been taken with respect to the Secured Collateral; (b) not change its name; (c) maintain, hold and preserve complete records concerning the Assigned Revenues and the Secured Collateral, including originals of all documentation with respect thereto (except for those original documents required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant hereto), records of all payments received, all credits granted thereon and all other dealings with respect thereto; (d) permit upon reasonable prior written notice from the Trustee or any Secured Party, and at reasonable times during the Borrower’s usual business hours, representatives of the Trustee or such Secured Party to inspect and make copies of abstracts from such records and discuss the affairs and accounts of the Borrower with, and be advised as to the same by, its officers all to such reasonable extent as such representatives may request; provided, however, that the requirement to provide notice hereunder shall not delay the exercise of or otherwise prejudice any remedies that the Trustee or the Secured Parties may have under this Agreement or otherwise upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; and (e) if the Trustee so directs, place a legend in form, substance and manner satisfactory to the Trustee on any of the Contracts and other agreements related to the Assigned Revenues, and on any instruments in its possession, as well as on books, records, chattel paper and documents of the Borrower, evidencing or pertaining to the same or other Secured Collateral with an appropriate reference to the fact that the relevant Contract, other agreement, instrument in its possession, or other Secured Collateral has been assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Trustee has the interests therein set out in this Agreement.

6.5          Notify Account Parties.

It shall, at the request of the Trustee made at any time and from time to time, at its expense and by a writing in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, promptly (a) notify each obligor or account debtor under or with respect to the Assigned Revenues or any other Secured Collateral of the assignment and security interest granted or purported to be granted by this Agreement and (b) direct each such obligor or account debtor to make all payments directly to the Project Account specified by the Trustee.  The Borrower shall use its best efforts to (i) cause to be collected, as and when due (including amounts that are delinquent, such amounts to be collected in accordance with generally accepted lawful collection procedures), any and all amounts payable by each obligor under or with respect to the Assigned Revenues or the Secured Collateral and (ii) cause each obligor to make all such payments directly to such Project Account.  If the Borrower shall receive from any obligor or any other Person any monies with respect to the Assigned Revenues or the Secured Collateral, the Borrower shall receive such payment in a constructive trust for the Trustee, subject to the rights granted to the Trustee and the other Secured Parties hereunder, and shall immediately, and in any event no later than [•] Business Days following receipt of such payment, transmit and deliver such payment to the Trustee if in Pesos and to the Trustee if in Dollars, in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) along with a description of the sources of funds sufficient for such Trustee to identify the appropriate Project Account to credit with such funds, to be held or applied by the Trustee as Assigned Revenues or Secured Collateral, as the case may be, under the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreements. 

6.6          Protection of the Trustee’s Interests.

It shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Trustee or the other Secured Parties in the Assigned Revenues and the Secured Collateral; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.6 shall prevent the Borrower, prior to the exercise by the Trustee of any such rights, from undertaking the Borrower’s operations in the ordinary course of business.  The Borrower assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Assigned Revenues and the Secured Collateral, and the liability of the Borrower with respect to the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Assigned Revenues and Secured Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to the Borrower.

6.7          Protect Intellectual Property.

12.5        Divestiture.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any sale by the Trustee or any other Secured Party of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Secured Collateral or Assigned Revenues will operate to divest all right, title and interest, either at law or in equity, of the Borrower therein and thereto, and will be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Borrower, and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim from, through and under the Borrower, from claiming any right, title or interest in, to or under the Secured Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof.

The agreements contained herein are made solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and successors and assigns of the Secured Parties, as specified in the Financing Documents, and shall not be construed as having been intended to benefit any third party.

13.11      Assignments.

This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the Borrower, the Trustee and the other Secured Parties; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Senior Lenders. The Trustee may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder in connection with an assignment or transfer of its rights or obligations under and in accordance with the Financing Documents. Any other Secured Party may assign or transfer its rights hereunder in connection with an assignment or transfer of all or any part of its interest in Obligations owed to it in accordance with the provisions of the Common Agreement. Any attempted assignment in contravention of this Section 13.11 shall be null and void.

13.12      Special Exculpation, Indemnity.

None of the Secured Parties shall be liable to the Borrower or any other Person for any indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profit, business opportunity or anticipated savings) howsoever arising (whether in negligence or otherwise), out of or in connection with the performance or non-performance of this Agreement or any other Financing Document.

13.13      Reinstatement.

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Trustee or any other Secured Party. In the event that any payment or performance or any part thereof is so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, such obligations shall be reinstated and deemed to be reduced only by such amount paid or performed and not so rescinded, restored or returned.  To the extent any such reinstatement would not be effective under Applicable Law, the Borrower covenants and agrees to secure the Obligations on the same terms and conditions and with the same force and effect as this Agreement and the Liens hereunder, by (a) executing and delivering to the Trustee a new agreement with the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Agreement and (b) doing all things the Trustee deems necessary to create new Liens equivalent to those created hereunder, and, if applicable, duly perfecting such Liens.  Without limiting the indemnity obligations of the Borrower contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Financing Document, the Borrower shall indemnify the Trustee and each other Secured Party within [•] Business Days after written demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Trustee or other Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration.

13.14      Authority of the Trustee.

The Borrower acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Trustee under this Agreement with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee or the exercise or non‑exercise by the Trustee of any power, right or remedy provided for or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Trustee and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Common Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Trustee and the Borrower, the Trustee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as the Trustee for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Borrower shall be under no obligation or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

13.15      Continuing Security Interest; Termination.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Secured Collateral and shall apply to all past, present and future Obligations, including Obligations that arise under transactions that continue any of the Obligations, increase or decrease any of the Obligations, or from time to time create new Obligations after all or any prior Obligations have been satisfied. Upon the indefeasible payment, performance and discharge in full of all Obligations and the termination of all Commitments, (a) the security interests granted under this Agreement shall terminate and the Borrower shall be entitled to the return upon its written request and at its expense, of such of the Secured Collateral in the possession of the Trustee as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (b) the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, any instruments reasonably requested by the Borrower (which may include a UCC termination statement) acknowledging such termination or necessary to reconvey to the Borrower such of the Secured Collateral (including any amount of the Assigned Revenue and, where applicable, the beneficial interest held by the Trustee under the S/C Contracts Performance Securities and the Jetty Contract Performance Bond) in the possession of the Trustee as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all indemnity obligations of the Borrower to the Secured Parties under the Financing Documents shall survive such termination.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date hereof on the signature pages of the Omnibus Agreement, of which this Agreement constitutes Volume 7.
