Amounts received by Payee in respect of the Junior Obligations when payment thereof is prohibited by this Section 5 shall be held by Payee in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Obligations and turned over to the holders of the Senior Obligations upon the written request of the Security Trustee (as defined under the MUSD 412 Facility).
