Section 202. Interest Payments on the Series 2012-1 Notes.

(a) Interest on Series 2012-1 Notes. Interest will be payable on the Series 2012-1 Notes on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Series 2012-1 Note Interest Payment. Such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date from amounts on deposit in the Series 2012-1 Series Account in accordance with Section 302 of the Indenture and Section 303 hereof.

(b) Interest on Overdue Amounts. If the Issuer shall default in the payment of (i) the Series 2012-1 Note Principal Balance of any Series 2012-1 Note on the Series 2012-1 Legal Final Payment Date, or (ii) the Series 2012-1 Note Interest Payment on any Series 2012-1 Note on any Payment Date, or (iii) any other amount becoming due under this Supplement, the Issuer shall, from time to time, pay interest on such unpaid amounts, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate, for the period during which such principal, interest or other amount shall be unpaid from the due date of such payment to the date of actual payment thereof (after as well as before judgment). Default Interest shall be payable at the times and subject to the priorities set forth in Section 303 hereof.

(c) Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Series 2012-1 Note exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. If at any time the interest rate charged with respect to the Series 2012-1 Notes exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to this Supplement and such Series 2012-1 Note shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, but any subsequent reductions in the LIBOR Rate or Alternative Rate, as the case may be, shall not reduce the interest to accrue on such Series 2012-1 Note below the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law until the total amount of interest accrued on such Series 2012-1 Note equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest rate had at all times been in effect. If the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Series 2012-1 Note under the foregoing provisions is less than the total amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all times been in effect, the Issuer agrees to pay to the Series 2012-1 Noteholders an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law had at all times been in effect, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest actually paid in accordance with the other provisions hereof.

Section 203. Principal Payments on the Series 2012-1 Notes; Prepayment of Principal on the Series 2012-1 Notes.

(a) The principal balance of the Series 2012-1 Notes shall be payable on each Payment Date from amounts on deposit in the Series 2012-1 Series Account in an amount equal to (i) so long as no Early Amortization Event is continuing, the sum of the Minimum Principal Payment Amount, the Scheduled Principal Payment Amount and Supplemental Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date, or (ii) if an Early Amortization Event is then continuing, the then Aggregate Series 2012-1 Note Principal Balance shall be payable in full to the extent that funds are available for such purposes in accordance with the provisions of clause (4) of Part (II) of Section 303 hereof. The unpaid principal amount of each Series 2012-1 Note, together with all unpaid interest (including all Default Interest), fees, expenses, costs and other

 

- 10 -


amounts payable by the Issuer to the Series 2012-1 Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and this Supplement, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which an Event of Default shall occur and the Series 2012-1 Notes have been accelerated in accordance with the provisions of Section 802 of the Indenture and (y) the Series 2012-1 Legal Final Payment Date.

(b) The Issuer will have the option to prepay, without premium, all, or a portion of, the Aggregate Series 2012-1 Note Principal Balance, in a minimum amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). Any such Prepayment of the Aggregate Series 2012-1 Note Principal Balance shall also include accrued interest to the date of Prepayment on the principal balance being prepaid, and, if such prepayment is made on a Business Day other than a Payment Date, any Breakage Costs attributable to such Prepayment. The Issuer may not make such Prepayment from funds in the Trust Account, the Series 2012-1 Series Account or the Restricted Cash Account, except to the extent that funds in any such account would otherwise be payable to the Issuer in accordance with the terms hereof and the Indenture. In the event of any Prepayment of the Series 2012-1 Notes in accordance with this Section 203(b) or any other provision of the Indenture, the Issuer shall pay any termination, notional reduction, breakage or other fees or costs assessed by any Interest Rate Hedge Provider. The Issuer must provide advance notice of at least two Business Days to the Series 2012-1 Noteholders and each Interest Rate Hedge Provider of any such optional Prepayment, which notice shall be irrevocable when delivered.

(c) Any Prepayment of less than the entire Aggregate Series 2012-1 Note Principal Balance, made in accordance with the provisions of Section 203 hereof and occurring after the Conversion Date, shall be applied to reduce the Minimum Principal Payment Amounts and Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts of the Series 2012-1 Notes in respect of each subsequent Payment Date in equal amounts such that, after giving effect to such adjustment, the Minimum Principal Payment Amounts and Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts for each subsequent Payment Date shall be reduced by an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate amount of such Prepayment actually received by the Series 2012-1 Noteholders, divided by (y) the number of remaining Payment Dates to and including the Series 2012-1 Legal Final Payment Date.

Section 204. Amounts and Terms of Series 2012-1 Noteholder Commitments; Payments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the Series 2012-1 Note Purchase Agreement, each Series 2012-1 Noteholder agrees to make its Series 2012-1 Note Commitment available to the Issuer on the Closing Date.

Each Deal Agent shall maintain records of all Series 2012-1 Advances and repayments made on each Series 2012-1 Note, which records shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive. On any Business Day requested by the Issuer in an irrevocable writing delivered by not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) preceding Business Day and presuming that the Issuer shall have satisfied all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 502 (and, in the case of the initial Series 2012-1

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Series 2012-1 Notes at the rates and in the manner set forth in Section 202 hereof. The unpaid principal amount of the Series 2012-1 Notes and all unpaid interest accrued thereon, together with any unpaid Unused Fees and, without duplication of the amounts set forth in Section 203, all other fees, expenses, costs and other sums chargeable to Issuer incurred in connection therewith, shall be due and payable on the Series 2012-1 Legal Final Payment Date.

(ii) Each request for a Series 2012-1 Advance shall constitute an affirmation by Issuer that all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 502 of the Supplement and the Series 2012-1 Note Purchase Agreement are true, correct and complete in all material respects to the same extent as though made on and as of the date of the request, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which event they shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such earlier date.

(iii) If a Series 2012-1 Noteholder fails to fund a requested Series 2012-1 Advance pursuant to a valid request made in accordance with Section 204(b), the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee that such Person should be classified as a Defaulting Noteholder. Thereafter, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of any subsequent change in such classification.

(c) Subject to Section 209(a)(iii), on each Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) to each Series 2012-1 Noteholder in an amount equal to the sum for each day during the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period of the product of (x) the applicable Unused Fee Percentage on such date, (y) 1/360 and (z) the Unused Commitment of such Series 2012-1 Noteholder on such date. Such Unused Fee shall be payable from amounts then on deposit in the Series 2012-1 Series Account in accordance with Section 303 hereof.

(d) All payments of principal and interest on the Series 2012-1 Notes and fees with respect to the Series 2012-1 Notes shall be paid to the Series 2012-1 Noteholders reflected in the Note Register as of the related Record Date on a Pro Rata basis by wire transfer of immediately available funds for receipt prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Payment Date.

(a) In addition to payments of principal and interest on the Series 2012-1 Notes when due, the Issuer shall pay, but only in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in Section 303 hereof, to each affected Series 2012-1 Noteholder, any member of its Related Group or any other Person that has advanced funds to, sold, committed to advance funds to, or committed to purchase from a Series 2012-1 Noteholder, an interest in the Series 2012-1 Note owned by such Series 2012-1 Noteholder (such Series 2012-1 Noteholder, any member of its Related Group and any such Person being an “Indemnified Party”), any and all present or future taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, or charges, or any other similar deduction or withholding, imposed by any Governmental Authority on payments owing by the Issuer to such Indemnified Party, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which that Indemnified Party’s principal office is located (and/or the office where such Indemnified Party books its investment in its Series 2012-1 Note) on all or part of the net income, profits or gains of such Indemnified Party and (ii) interest, penalties, and additions thereto arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(b) In addition, the Issuer shall pay, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 303, any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Supplement or any other documents related to the issuance of the Series 2012-1 Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) If any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted or imposed against any Indemnified Party, the Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party, subject to the priorities for distribution set forth in Section 303, for the full amount of the Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes asserted or imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 205) paid by the Indemnified Party and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted or imposed. If the Issuer fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Indemnified Party the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Issuer shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for any incremental Taxes or Other Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any such failure. Payment under this indemnification shall be made in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in Section 303 hereof after the Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor. The Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to Issuer of any assertion of Taxes or Other Taxes so that Issuer may, at its option, contest such assertion.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Issuer of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Issuer shall furnish to each of the Series 2012-1 Noteholders the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Series 2012-1 Noteholders.

(e) Taxes and Other Taxes shall not constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Issuer or the Collateral in the event there are insufficient funds to make such payments in accordance with the payment priorities set forth in Section 303 hereof.

 

- 13 -


(f) On or before the date it acquires a Series 2012-1 Note (and, so long as it may properly do so, periodically thereafter, as requested by Issuer, to keep forms up to date), each Indemnified Party that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee any certificates, documents or other evidence that shall be required by the Code (or any regulations issued pursuant thereto) to establish that, assuming the Series 2012-1 Notes are properly characterized as indebtedness, it is exempt from existing United States Federal withholding requirements, including (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or Form 4224 or successor applicable form, properly completed and duly executed by the Series 2012-1 Noteholder certifying that it is entitled to receive payments under this Supplement without deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes, and (ii) an original copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or applicable successor form, properly completed and duly executed; provided, that if any Series 2012-1 Noteholder does not comply with this Section 205(f), amounts payable to such Series 2012-1 Noteholder under this Section 205 shall be limited to amounts that would have been payable under this Section 205 if such Series 2012-1 Noteholder had so complied.

Section 206. Increased Costs. If any Indemnified Party shall determine that, due to (a) the adoption of, or of any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation after the Closing Date (“Applicable Law”) (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of the LIBOR Rate), (b) any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation or administration by any Governmental Authority of any Applicable Law or compliance with any guideline or request issued after the Closing Date from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) and (c) the compliance, application or implementation by any Indemnified Party with the foregoing subclauses (a) or (b) or any Existing Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Indemnified Party of agreeing to maintain its investment in any Note, then the Issuer shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, pay to such Indemnified Party such additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Indemnified Party for such Increased Costs; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall (i) use reasonable efforts in good faith to mitigate any such Increased Costs and (ii) provide to Issuer in writing the basis for such Increased Costs. Payment under this indemnification shall be made in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in Section 303 hereof after the Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor. Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 206 shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer or the Collateral in the event that such amounts are not paid in accordance with Section 303 hereof.

Section 207. Capital Requirements. If any Indemnified Party shall determine that (a) the adoption of, or change in, after the Closing Date, any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or any foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to or arising out of Basel II or Basel III, (b) the adoption after the Closing Date of any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), (c) any change after the Closing Date in the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental

 

- 14 -


Authority charged with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof, including any guidance or request made a Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), or (d) the compliance, application or implementation by any Indemnified Party (or any business office of the Indemnified Party) or the Indemnified Party’s holding company with any of the foregoing subclauses (a), (b) or (c) or any Existing Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Indemnified Party’s capital or on the capital of the Indemnified Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of maintaining its commitment to purchase Notes or maintain its investment in a Note to a level below that which the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Party’s holding company could have achieved but for the occurrences set out in the foregoing subclauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) (taking into consideration the Indemnified Party’s policies and the policies of the Indemnified Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by the Indemnified Party to be material, then upon written demand by the Indemnified Party, the Issuer shall be liable for such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. Payment of this indemnification shall be made in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in Section 303 hereof after the Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor. Indemnification amounts shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer or the Collateral in the event such amounts are not paid in accordance with Section 303 hereof. Without affecting its rights under this Section 207 or any other provision hereof or the Indenture, the Indemnified Party agrees that if there is an increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by the Indemnified Party with respect to which the Issuer would be obligated to compensate the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 207, the Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative business office which would not result in any such increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to select an alternative business office if the Indemnified Party determines that (i) as a result of such selection the Indemnified Party would be in violation of any applicable law, governmental rule or regulation or would incur material, additional costs or expenses, or (ii) such selection would be unavailable for regulatory reasons.

Section 208. Affected Parties.

(a) A certificate of an Indemnified Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such an Indemnified Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 206 and/or Section 207 and delivered to the Issuer shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that such certificate (i) sets forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts payable to such Indemnified Party pursuant to such Section 206 or 207, (ii) explains the methodology used to determine such amount, (iii) states that the applicable increased costs or reductions were suffered no more than ninety (90) days (or, if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions were retroactive, such period in excess of ninety (90) days as includes the period of retroactive effect) prior to the date of such certificate, and (iv) states that such amount is consistent with amounts that such Indemnified Party has required other similarly situated borrowers or obligors to pay with respect to such increased costs or reductions.

(b) Failure or delay on the part of any Indemnified Party to demand compensation pursuant to Section 206 and/or Section 207 shall not constitute a waiver of such Indemnified Party’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Issuer shall not be

 

- 15 -


required to compensate an Indemnified Party pursuant to such Sections (i) to the extent that such increased costs or reductions were suffered more than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which such Indemnified Party notifies the Issuer of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Indemnified Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the ninety (90) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) or (ii) if such Indemnified Party has not required other similarly situated borrowers or obligors to pay comparable amounts with respect to such increased costs or reductions.

(c) The Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon not less than three Business Days prior written notice to any Indemnified Party that makes a demand pursuant to Section 206 or 207 (each an “Affected Party”), require such Affected Party to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in the Indenture), all of its interests, rights and obligations under its Series 2012-1 Note to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may or may not be another Series 2012-1 Noteholder, if a Series 2012-1 Noteholder accepts such assignment, but is not required to be another Series 2012-1 Noteholder); provided that (A) such Affected Party shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Series 2012-1 Note, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts that have been accrued pursuant to Section 206 and/or Section 207, as applicable) and under the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents from the Issuer or the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Issuer (in the case of all other amounts); and (B) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

Section 209. Defaulting Noteholders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Series 2012-1 Related Document, if any Series 2012-1 Noteholder becomes a Defaulting Noteholder, then, until such time as that Series 2012-1 Noteholder is no longer a Defaulting Noteholder, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Series 2012-1 Related Document, a Series 2012-1 Noteholder that is then classified as Defaulting Noteholder shall not have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent under any Series 2012-1 Related Document (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Series 2012-1 Noteholders or each affected Series 2012-1 Noteholder may be effected with the consent of the applicable Series 2012-1 Noteholders other than Defaulting Noteholders), except that (A) the Series 2012-1 Note Commitment of any Defaulting Noteholder may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Series 2012-1 Noteholder and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Series 2012-1 Noteholders or each affected Series 2012-1 Noteholder that by its terms affects any Defaulting Noteholder more adversely than other affected Series 2012-1 Noteholders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Noteholder.

(ii) Limited Right of Set-off. During the period from the Closing Date to the Conversion Date, any amounts on deposit in the Series 2012-1 Series Account which would otherwise be payable as principal, interest, fees or other amounts (whether payable

 

- 16 -


pursuant to Section 303 or otherwise) to a Series 2012-1 Noteholder that is then classified as a Defaulting Noteholder, shall, in accordance with the written direction of the Issuer, be applied to fund to the Issuer any previously requested Series 2012-1 Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Noteholder has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by the terms of the Series 2012-1 Related Documents. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Noteholder that are so applied shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Noteholder, and each Series 2012-1 Noteholder is hereby deemed to have irrevocably consented to this treatment.

(iii) Unused Fees. A Defaulting Noteholder shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee accrued during any period in which such Series 2012-1 Noteholder is a Defaulting Noteholder (and the Issuer shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Noteholder).

(b) Replacement of Defaulting Noteholder. The Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon not less than three Business Days prior written notice to a Defaulting Noteholder, require such Defaulting Noteholder to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in the Indenture), all of its interests, rights and obligations under its Series 2012-1 Note to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may or may not be another Series 2012-1 Noteholder, if a Series 2012-1 Noteholder accepts such assignment, but is not required to be another Series 2012-1 Noteholder); provided that (A) such Defaulting Noteholder shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Series 2012-1 Note, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents, excluding Breakage Costs, from the Issuer or the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Issuer (in the case of all other amounts), except to the extent that any Unused Fees are not due and payable to such Defaulting Noteholder pursuant to Section 209(a)(iii); and (B) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

(c) Defaulting Noteholder Cure. If through the application of the provisions of Section 209(a)(ii) hereof or otherwise by the Defaulting Noteholder, a Defaulting Noteholder shall have fully funded all Series 2012-1 Advances that it has previously failed to fund, such Person shall cease to be classified as a Defaulting Noteholder.
