SECTION 17. Limitation of Liability of Trustee, Collateral Agent and Administrator. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Administrator have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer.

SECTION 18. Nonpetition Covenants. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, neither the Administrator nor the Trustee shall, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the last Outstanding Indenture Note, petition or otherwise invoke, join with, encourage or cooperate with any other party in invoking or cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against any member, employee, officer or director of ZVF. Fees, expenses, costs or other obligations payable by ZVF hereunder shall be payable by ZVF to the extent and only to the extent that ZVF is reimbursed therefor pursuant to any of the Related Documents, or funds are then available or thereafter become available for such purpose pursuant to Article 5 of the Base Indenture, and the amount of any fees, expenses or costs exceeding such funds shall in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, ZVF

SECTION 21. Patriot Act. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide the Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas with such information as it may reasonably request in order for the Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.
