(a)      On any Business Day prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, upon the written request of the Issuer or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer, the Series 2005-1 Invested Amount may be reduced (a “Decrease”) by the Indenture Trustee’s withdrawing from the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount, depositing into the Series 2005-1 Distribution Account and distributing to the Administrative Agent funds on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount on such day in accordance with Section 5A.7(c) in an amount not to exceed the amount of such funds on deposit on such day; provided that the Administrator shall have given the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) irrevocable written notice (effective upon receipt) of the amount of such Decrease prior to 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day prior to such Decrease, in the case of any such Decrease in an amount less than $200,000,000, and prior to 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day that is at least ten days prior to such Decrease, in the case of any such Decrease in an amount of $200,000,000 or more; provided, further, that any such Decrease shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.


 

33

Upon each Decrease, the Indenture Trustee shall indicate in the Note Register such Decrease. Upon receipt of any notice required by Section 2.5(a) from the Issuer, the Administrative Agent shall forward (by telecopy or electronic messaging system) a copy of such notice to the Funding Agent with respect to each Purchaser Group, no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the day received.

(i)      On any Business Day, the Issuer shall have the right to deliver an irrevocable written notice (an “Optional Termination Notice”) to the Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and the Rating Agencies in which the Issuer declares that the Commitments shall terminate on the date (the “Optional Termination Date”) set forth in such notice (which date, in any event, shall be a Payment Date not less than ten Business Days from the date on which such notice is delivered). Upon receipt of any Optional Termination Notice from the Issuer, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Funding Agent with respect to each Purchaser Group thereof.

(ii)      From and after the Optional Termination Date, the Series 2005-1 Amortization Period shall commence for all purposes under this Indenture Supplement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b)      If there are funds on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount on any Business Day on which the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to any Non-Extending Purchaser Group shall not have been reduced to zero and the Issuer would be permitted under the terms of Section 2.5(a) to effect a Decrease with such funds, the Issuer shall request such a Decrease in accordance with Section 2.5(a) on the earliest possible date.

SECTION 2.6. Increases and Reductions of the Commitments; Extensions of the Commitments

(a)      The Issuer may from time to time request that any Purchaser Group agree to increase its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount. An increase in any Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount shall be effective hereunder if (i) such Purchaser Group shall have agreed to such increase in its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount and (ii) if such increase results in an increase in the Series 2005-1 Maximum Invested Amount, after giving effect to such increase, (A) the aggregate balances of all of the capital accounts of the Members of the Issuer are equal to at least 13% of the Issuer’s total capitalization and (B) the Issuer has one or more Series 2005-1 Lease Rate Caps that, in the aggregate, satisfy the requirements of Section 5A.12(d).

(b)      If the Issuer desires to extend the Scheduled Expiry Date with respect to the Purchaser Groups, the Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent at least 60 days prior to such Scheduled Expiry Date of its desire to extend the Scheduled Expiry Date with respect to the Purchaser Groups, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify the Funding Agent with respect to each Purchaser Group of the Issuer’s desire to so extend the Scheduled Expiry Date. Each Funding Agent, on behalf of its Purchaser Group, shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Issuer in writing of whether such Purchaser Group agrees to an extension of the Scheduled Expiry Date with respect to such Purchaser Group; provided that failure by a Funding Agent to


 

34

respond to such request shall not be construed as a consent by such Purchaser Group to such extension. The decision to extend or not extend shall be made by each Purchaser Group in its sole discretion. In the event that any Purchaser Group desires to extend its Scheduled Expiry Date for an amount that is less than its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount prior to the Issuer’s request for an extension, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may accept such extension; provided, however, that such Purchaser Group (x) shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Purchaser Group for purposes of Section 5A.7(c) having a Purchaser Group Invested Amount equal to the excess of its Purchaser Group Invested Amount over the Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount that will be available after the extension of its Scheduled Expiry Date and (y) shall be deemed to be an Extending Purchaser Group with a Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount equal to the portion of its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount that will be available after the extension of its Scheduled Expiry Date. Any extension of the Scheduled Expiry Date with respect to a Purchaser Group shall be subject to the prior written consent of any Series 2005-1 Preferred Member other than Terrapin Funding LLC and any counterparty to a Series 2005-1 Lease Rate Cap required to be maintained pursuant to Section 5A.12(d).

(c)      On any Business Day during the Series 2005-1 Revolving Period, the Issuer may, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (effective upon receipt) (with copies to the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee) reduce the Series 2005-1 Maximum Invested Amount in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any reduction in the Series 2005-1 Invested Amount on such date, the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to any Purchaser Group would exceed the Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group then in effect. Any reduction in the Series 2005-1 Maximum Invested Amount shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amounts with respect to the Purchaser Groups, based on the Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to each Purchaser Group.

SECTION 2.7. Interest; Fees.

(a)      Interest shall be payable on the Series 2005-1 Investor Notes on each Payment Date pursuant to Section 5A.5(a).

(b)      On any Business Day, the Issuer may, subject to Section 2.7(c), elect to allocate all or any portion of the Available CP Funding Amount with respect to any Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, to one or more CP Tranches with CP Rate Periods commencing on such Business Day by giving the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser irrevocable written or telephonic (confirmed in writing) notice thereof, which notice must be received by such Funding Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior to such Business Day. Such notice shall specify (i) the applicable Business Day, (ii) the CP Rate Period for each CP Tranche to which a portion of the Available CP Funding Amount with respect to the Purchaser Group of which such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser is a member is to be allocated and (iii) the portion of such Available CP Funding Amount being allocated to each such CP Tranche. On any Business Day, the Issuer may, subject to Section 2.7(c), elect to allocate all or any portion of the Available APA


 

35

Bank Funding Amount with respect to any Purchaser Group to one or more Eurodollar Tranches with Eurodollar Periods commencing on such Business Day by giving the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent with respect to such Purchaser Group irrevocable written or telephonic (confirmed in writing) notice thereof, which notice must be received by such Funding Agent prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to such Business Day. Such notice shall specify (i) the applicable Business Day, (ii) the Eurodollar Period for each Eurodollar Tranche to which a portion of the Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group is to be allocated and (iii) the portion of such Available APA Bank Funding Amount being allocated to each such Eurodollar Tranche. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Funding Agent with respect to a Purchaser Group shall notify the CP Conduit Purchaser and the APA Banks in such Purchaser Group of the contents of such notice promptly upon receipt thereof.

(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.7, (i) (A) each Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser shall approve the length of each CP Rate Period and the portion of the Available CP Funding Amount with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser allocated to such CP Rate Period, (B) such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser may select, in its sole discretion, any new CP Rate Period if (x) the Issuer does not provide notice of a new CP Rate Period on a timely basis or (y) the Funding Agent with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, on behalf of such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, determines, in its sole discretion, that the CP Rate Period requested by the Issuer is unavailable or for any reason commercially undesirable and (C) the portion of the Available CP Funding Amount with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser allocable to each CP Tranche must be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) (A) the portion of the Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to any Purchaser Group allocable to each Eurodollar Tranche must be in an amount equal to $100,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, (B) no more than 10 Eurodollar Tranches with respect to such Purchaser Group shall be outstanding at any one time, (C) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, the Issuer may not elect to allocate any portion of the Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to any Purchaser Group to a Eurodollar Tranche and (D) during the Series 2005-1 Amortization Period, the Issuer may not select any Eurodollar Period that does not end on or prior to the next succeeding Payment Date.

(d)      On any Business Day, a Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser may elect that the Issuer no longer be permitted to select CP Tranches in accordance with Sections 2.7(b) and (c) in respect of the CP Conduit Funded Amount with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser by giving the Issuer and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice thereof, which notice must be received by the Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to such Business Day. On any Business Day, a Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser may elect thereafter to allow the Issuer to select CP Tranches in accordance with Sections 2.7(b) and (c) in respect of the CP Conduit Funded Amount with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser by giving the Issuer and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice thereof, which notice must be received by the Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to such Business Day. Any CP Conduit Purchaser making an election to change the manner in which its funding costs in respect of its Series 2005-1 Investor Note are allocated in accordance with this Section 2.7(d) will be both a Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser and a Pooled


 

36

Funding CP Conduit Purchaser during the period that its Series 2005-1 Investor Note is funded on both a “pooled” and “match funded” basis and its Monthly Funding Costs during that period will be calculated accordingly.

(e)      The Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Administrator upon which the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely) shall distribute pursuant to Section 5A.5(b), from amounts deposited in the Series 2005-1 Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5A.4(c), to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser Group, on each Payment Date, a commitment fee with respect to the Series 2005-1 Interest Period ending on such Payment Date (the “Commitment Fee”) during the period from the Effective Date to and including the Expiry Date with respect to such Purchaser Group at the Commitment Fee Rate of 102% of the average daily Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group during such Series 2005-1 Interest Period less the average daily Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group during such Series 2005-1 Interest Period. The Commitment Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date.

(f)      Calculations of per annum rates under this Indenture Supplement shall be made on the basis of a 360- (or 365-/366-, in the case of interest on the Floating Tranche based on the Prime Rate) day year. Calculations of Commitment Fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year. Each determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.8. Indemnification by the Issuer and the Administrator

(a)      The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Purchaser and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Company indemnified person”) from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by (a “Claim”) such Company indemnified person by reason of (i) any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of, or relating to, activities of the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (ii) a breach of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Issuer (or any of its officers) in the Indenture or other Transaction Document or (iii) a failure by the Issuer to comply with any applicable law or regulation or to perform its covenants, agreements, duties or obligations required to be performed or observed by it in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, except to the extent such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury (A) resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Company indemnified person or its officers, directors, agents, principals, employees or employers, (B) resulted solely from a default by an Obligor with respect to any Sold Unit or Fleet Receivable or (C) includes any Excluded Taxes; provided that any payments made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be made solely from funds available therefor pursuant to Section 5A.5(e), shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer to the extent that such funds are insufficient to make such payment.


 

37

(b)      The Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Purchaser and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Administrator indemnified person”) from and against any Claim by reason of (i) any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of, or relating to, activities of the Administrator pursuant to the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (ii) a breach of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Administrator (or any of its officers) in the Indenture or other Transaction Document or (iii) a failure by the Administrator to comply with any applicable law or regulation or to perform its covenants, agreements, duties or obligations required to be performed or observed by it in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, except to the extent such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury (A) resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Administrator indemnified person or its officers, directors, agents, principals, employees or employers, (B) resulted solely from a default by an Obligor with respect to any Sold Unit or Fleet Receivable or (C) include any Excluded Taxes.

SECTION 2.9. Funding Agents

(a)      The Funding Agent with respect to each Purchaser Group is hereby authorized to record on each Business Day the CP Funded Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group and the aggregate amount of Discount accruing with respect thereto on such Business Day and the APA Bank Funded Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group and the amount of interest accruing with respect thereto on such Business Day and, based on such recordations, to determine the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to each Series 2005-1 Interest Period and such Purchaser Group. Any such recordation by a Funding Agent, absent manifest error, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. Furthermore, the Funding Agent with respect to each Purchaser Group will maintain records sufficient to identify the percentage interest of the related CP Conduit Purchaser and each APA Bank with respect to such Purchaser Group holding an interest in the Series 2005-1 Investor Note registered in the name of such Funding Agent and any amounts owing thereunder.

(b)      Upon receipt of funds from the Administrative Agent on each Payment Date and the date of any Decrease, each Funding Agent shall pay such funds to the related CP Conduit Purchaser and/or the related APA Banks owed such funds in accordance with the recordations maintained by it in accordance with Section 2.9(a) and the Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser. If a Funding Agent shall have paid to any CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank any funds that (i) must be returned for any reason (including bankruptcy) or (ii) exceeds that which such CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank was entitled to receive, such amount shall be promptly repaid to such Funding Agent by such CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank.

ARTICLE 3

ARTICLE 5 OF THE BASE INDENTURE

Sections 5.1 through 5.4 of the Base Indenture and each other Section of Article 5 of the Indenture relating to another Series shall read in their entirety as provided in the Base Indenture or any applicable Indenture Supplement. Article 5 of the Base Indenture (except for Sections 5.1 through 5.4 thereof and any portion thereof relating to another Series) shall read in its entirety as follows and shall be exclusively applicable to the Series 2005-1 Investor Notes:

Section 5A.1 Establishment of Series 2005-1 Subaccounts.

(a)      The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2005-1 Investor Noteholders (i) a subaccount of the Collection Account (the “Series 2005-1 Collection Subaccount”); and (ii) three subaccounts of the Series 2005-1 Collection Subaccount: (1) the Series 2005-1 General Collection Subaccount, (2) the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount and (3) the Series 2005-1 Settlement Collection Subaccount (respectively, the “Series 2005-1 General Collection Subaccount,” the “Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount” and the “Series 2005-1 Settlement Collection Subaccount”); the accounts established pursuant to this Section 5A.1(a), collectively, the “Series 2005-1 Subaccounts”), each Series 2005-1 Subaccount to bear a designation indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2005-1 Investor Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all moneys, instruments, securities and other property on deposit from time to time in the Series 2005-1 Subaccounts and the proceeds thereof for the benefit of the Series 2005-1 Investor Noteholders.

(b)      So long as no Amortization Event has occurred, the Issuer shall instruct the institution maintaining the Collection Account in writing to invest funds on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Subaccounts at all times in Permitted Investments selected by the Issuer (by standing instructions or otherwise); provided, however, that funds on deposit in a Series 2005-1 Subaccounts may be invested together with funds held in other subaccounts of the Collection Account. Amounts on deposit and available for investment in the Series 2005-1 General Collection Subaccount and the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Issuer, so long as no Amortization Event has occurred, in Permitted Investments that mature, or that are payable or redeemable upon demand of the holder thereof, on or prior to the next Business Day. On each Settlement Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds deposited in the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount and the Series 2005-1 General Collection Subaccount shall be deposited in the Series 2005-1 Settlement Collection Subaccount. The Issuer shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of principal of such Permitted Investment. In the absence of written direction as provided hereunder, all funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested.


 

39

(c)      After the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the institution maintaining the Collection Account in writing to invest funds on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Subaccounts from time to time in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative Agent (by standing instructions or otherwise). Amounts on deposit and available for investment in the Series 2005-1 Subaccounts shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Administrative Agent in Permitted Investments that mature, or that are payable or redeemable upon demand of the holder thereof on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date. On each Settlement Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds deposited in the Series 2005-1 General Collection Subaccount and the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount shall be deposited in the Series 2005-1 Settlement Collection Subaccount. The Administrative Agent shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of principal of such Permitted Investment. In the absence of written direction as provided hereunder, all funds on deposit shall remain uninvested.

Section 5A.2 Allocations with Respect to the Series 2005-1 Investor Notes.

(d)      Prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on each Deposit Date, the Administrator shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to allocate to the Series 2005-1 Investor Noteholders and deposit in the Series 2005-1 General Collection Subaccount an amount equal to the product of the Series 2005-1 Invested Percentage on such Deposit Date and the Collections deposited into the Collection Account on such Deposit Date.

(e)      The Administrator shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to allocate to the Series 2005-1 Investor Noteholders and deposit in the Series 2005-1 General Collection Subaccount the following amounts on each Business Day (the “Series 2005-1 Daily Principal Allocation”):

(i)      the proceeds from the initial sale of the Series 2005-1 Investor Notes or any Increase; and

(ii)      any amounts allocated to another Series of Investor Notes that the Issuer or the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, has elected to apply to reduce the Series 2005-1 Invested Amount.

(f)      On each Determination Date, the Administrator shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to allocate to the Series 2005-1 Investor Noteholders and deposit in the Series 2005-1 Settlement Collection Subaccount on the immediately succeeding Transfer Date amounts withdrawn from the Gain on Sale Account, in an amount equal to the product of the average daily Series 2005-1 Invested Percentage during the immediately preceding Monthly Period and the amount withdrawn from the Gain on Sale Account pursuant to Section 5.2(e) of the Base Indenture on such Transfer Date.

(g)      On each Determination Date, the Administrator shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to allocate to the Series 2005-1 Investor Noteholders and deposit in the Series


 

40

2005-1 Settlement Collection Subaccount on the immediately succeeding Settlement Date the following amounts:

(i)      any Unit Repurchase Payments made by the Servicer or SPV, in an amount equal to the product of the average daily Series 2005-1 Invested Percentage during the immediately preceding Monthly Period and the amount of such Unit Repurchase Payments;

(ii)      the Monthly Servicer Advance made by the Servicer, in an amount equal to the product of the average daily Series 2005-1 Invested Percentage during the immediately preceding Monthly Period and the amount of such Monthly Servicer Advance;

(iii)      payments made under the Lease Rate Caps maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5A.12(a) and (b), in an amount equal to the product of the average daily Series 2005-1 Invested Percentage during the immediately preceding Monthly Period and the amount of such payments; and

(iv)      all payments made to the Indenture Trustee under the Series 2005-1 Lease Rate Caps.

(h)      On each Business Day, the Administrator will direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to allocate, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, the Series 2005-1 Daily Principal Allocation deposited in the Series 2005-1 Collection Subaccount in the following priority:

(i)      if such Business Day is a Settlement Date, allocate to the Series 2005-1 Settlement Collection Subaccount, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the proceeds from any Increase on such Settlement Date and (B) the Principal Overpayment Amount for such Settlement Date; and

(ii)      allocate any remaining portion of any Increase and any amounts allocated to another Series of Investor Notes that the Issuer or the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, has elected to apply to reduce the Series 2005-1 Invested Amount to the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount.

(i)      If, on any Business Day during the Series 2005-1 Revolving Period, other than during any Paydown Period, the sum of (i) the Series 2005-1 Daily Principal Allocation and (ii) the amount on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount on such Business Day is less than the Daily Principal Utilization Amount for such Business Day, the Administrator will direct the Indenture Trustee in writing, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, to withdraw an amount equal to such deficit from the Series 2005-1 General Collection Subaccount and deposit it into the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount.

(j)      The Administrator may direct the Indenture Trustee in writing by 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on any Business Day during the Series 2005-1 Revolving Period to withdraw amounts on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount for any of the following purposes:


 

41

(i)      if such Business Day is an Additional Closing Date, to pay all or a portion of the Transferred Asset Payment due on such Additional Closing Date pursuant to the Transfer Agreement;

(ii)      if the Administrator shall have given the Administrative Agent written notice of a Decrease in accordance with Section 2.5(a), to reduce the Series 2005-1 Invested Amount in accordance with Section 2.5; or

(iii)      to reduce the Invested Amount of any other Series of Investor Notes;

provided, however that during any Paydown Period the Administrator may withdraw amounts on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount pursuant to this Section 5A.2(g) only to reduce the Purchaser Group Invested Amounts of the Non-Extending Purchaser Group or Non-Extending Purchaser Groups pursuant to Sections 2.5(a) and 5A.7(c).

(k)      On any Business Day during the Series 2005-1 Amortization Period prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrator may direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to withdraw amounts on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Principal Collection Subaccount and apply them to reduce the Series 2005-1 Invested Amount in accordance with Section 2.5; provided, that the Administrator shall have given the Administrative Agent written notice of such Decrease in accordance with Section 2.5(a).

Section 5A.3. Determination of Interest

(l)      On each Determination Date, the Administrator shall determine the Series 2005-1 Note Rate for the Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Period ending on the next succeeding Payment Date, based on the information provided by the Funding Agents pursuant to this Section 5A.3(a), and the amount of interest payable on such next succeeding Payment Date on the Series 2005-1 Investor Notes (“Series 2005-1 Monthly Interest”). Series 2005-1 Monthly Interest for each Series 2005-1 Interest Period will equal the product of (i) the Series 2005-1 Note Rate for such Series 2005-1 Interest Period, (ii) the average daily Series 2005-1 Invested Amount during such Series 2005-1 Interest Period and (iii) the actual number of days elapsed in such Series 2005-1 Interest Period divided by 360. On each Determination Date, the Funding Agent with respect to each Purchaser Group shall provide written notice to the Administrator of the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such Purchaser Group with respect to the portion of the current Series 2005-1 Interest Period ending on such Determination Date (or, in the case of the Series 2005-1 Interest Period immediately preceding the Series 2005-1 Note Termination Date, an estimate of the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such Purchaser Group for such Series 2005-1 Interest Period). For the purposes of determining Series 2005-1 Monthly Interest for each Series 2005-1 Interest Period (other than the Series 2005-1 Interest Period immediately preceding the Series 2005-1 Note Termination Date), the Administrator may make a reasonable estimation of the portion of the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to each Purchaser Group to accrue during the portion of such Series 2005-1 Interest Period succeeding such Determination Date, based on its reasonable expectations of the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group during such period, the Discount on the Commercial Paper issued by, or for the benefit of, such Purchaser Group to fund such Purchaser Group Invested Amount during


 

42

such period or the Adjusted LIBO Rates or the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Purchaser Group Invested Amount during such period. If the actual amount of the portion of the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to any Purchaser Group accruing during the portion of any Series 2005-1 Interest Period succeeding the Determination Date in such Series 2005-1 Interest Period is less than or greater than the amount thereof estimated by the Administrator on such Determination Date, the Administrator will reduce or increase the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such Purchaser Group with respect to the next succeeding Series 2005-1 Interest Period accordingly. The Administrator shall determine Series 2005-1 Monthly Interest for the Series 2005-1 Interest Period immediately preceding the Series 2005-1 Note Termination Date on the Determination Date immediately preceding the last day of such Series 2005-1 Interest Period based on the information provided by the Funding Agents. If a Funding Agent with respect to any Purchaser Group determines that the actual Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such Purchaser Group for the Series 2005-1 Interest Period immediately preceding the Series 2005-1 Note Termination Date will be more or less than the estimate thereof provided to the Administrator and informs the Administrator of such variance prior to the Payment Date for such Series 2005-1 Interest Period, the Administrator will amend the Monthly Settlement Statement relating thereto to reflect that variance and provide the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent with an amended Monthly Settlement Statement on or prior to such Payment Date.

(m)      On each Determination Date, the Administrator shall determine the excess, if any (the “Interest Shortfall”), of (i) the sum of (x) the Series 2005-1 Monthly Interest for the Series 2005-1 Interest Period ending on the next succeeding Payment Date and (y) the amount of any unpaid Interest Shortfall, as of the preceding Payment Date (together with any Additional Interest on such Interest Shortfall) over (ii) the amount which will be available to be distributed to the Series 2005-1 Investor Noteholders on such Payment Date in respect thereof pursuant to this Indenture Supplement.

Value of the related Leased Vehicle and on each Payment Date thereafter at least equal to the scheduled Lease Balance of such Fixed Rate Lease as of the last day of the Monthly Period immediately preceding such Payment Date, plus, in the case of a Closed-End Lease, the Stated Residual Value of the related Leased Vehicle and an effective strike rate based on the eurodollar rate set forth therein in effect on the dates set forth therein at the most equal to the fixed rate of interest on such Fixed Rate Lease minus 0.84% per annum.

The Issuer will not permit any interest rate cap required to be obtained and maintained by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 5A.12 to be terminated or transferred in whole or in part unless a replacement interest rate cap therefor has been provided as described in the immediately preceding sentence and, after giving effect thereto, the Issuer has the interest rate caps required to be obtained and maintained by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 5A.12.

(ss)      In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the Issuer Obligations with respect to the Series 2005-1 Investor Notes, the Issuer hereby grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2005-1 Investor Noteholders, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the Series 2005-1 Lease Rate Caps (whether now or hereafter existing or acquired) and any and all payments thereunder and any and all proceeds thereof (including as a result of the termination thereof).

ARTICLE 7

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

SECTION 7.1. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Purchaser Group to make or maintain any portion of the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group allocated to a Eurodollar Tranche and such Purchaser Group shall notify in writing the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agent with respect to such Purchaser Group, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, then the portion of such Purchaser Group Invested Amount allocated to Eurodollar Tranches shall thereafter be calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. If any such change in the method of calculating interest occurs on a day which is not the last day of the Eurodollar Period with respect to any Eurodollar Tranche, the Issuer shall pay to such Purchaser Group the amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 7.4.

SECTION 7.2. Increased Costs.

(a)      If any Change in Law (except with respect to Taxes which shall be governed by Section 7.3) shall:

(i)      impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii)      impose on any Affected Party or the London interbank market any other condition affecting the Transaction Documents or the funding of Eurodollar Tranches by such Affected Party;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Party of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Tranches (or maintaining its obligation to do so) or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or in connection herewith (whether principal, interest or otherwise), then the Issuer will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)      If any Affected Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Affected Party or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Party’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, the Issuer shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for any such reduction suffered.


 

59

(c)      A certificate of an Affected Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Party as specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 7.2 shall be delivered to the Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent with respect to such Affected Party) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

(d)      Failure or delay on the part of an Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section 7.2 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Issuer of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 7.3. Taxes.

(a)      Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Issuer hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Issuer shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) subject to Section 7.3(c) below, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.3) the recipient receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Issuer shall make such deductions and (iii) the Issuer shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)      In addition, the Issuer shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)      The Issuer shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Program Support Provider and each member of each Purchaser Group within the later of 10 days after written demand therefor and the Payment Date next following such demand for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Issuer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.3) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that no Person shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) or required to pay additional amounts under the proviso of Section 7.3(a) to the extent that the reason for such indemnification results from the failure by such Person to comply with the provisions of Section 7.3(e) or (g). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support


 

60

Provider or any member of any Purchaser Group shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any payments made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be made solely from funds available therefor pursuant to Section 5A.4(c), shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

(d)      As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Issuer to a Governmental Authority, the Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)      The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each member of each Purchaser Group and each Program Support Provider, if entitled to an exemption from or reduction of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax with respect to payments made under this Indenture Supplement and the Base Indenture shall (to the extent legally able to do so) deliver to the Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Issuer on the later of (i) 30 Business Days after such request is made and the applicable forms are provided to the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such member of such Purchaser Group or such Program Support Provider or (ii) 30 Business Days before prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or with an exemption from or reduction of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

(f)      If the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of a Purchaser Group receives a refund solely in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, it shall pay over such refund to the Issuer to the extent that it has already received indemnity payments or additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.3 with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Issuer shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of a Purchaser Group, repay such refund (plus interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of a Purchaser Group if the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of a Purchaser Group is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained herein shall require the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of a Purchaser Group to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) available to the Issuer or any other Person.

(g)      The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Program Support Provider and each member of each Purchaser Group (other than any such entity which is a domestic corporation) shall:


 

61

(i)      upon or prior to becoming a party hereto, deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or successor applicable forms, as the case may be, establishing a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect to payments under the Series 2005-1 Notes and this Indenture Supplement;

(ii)      deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent two (2) further copies of any such form or certification establishing a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect to payments under the Series 2005-1 Notes and this Indenture Supplement on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Issuer; and

(iii)      obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Issuer and the Administrative Agent;

unless, in any such case, any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the Series 2005-1 Closing Date (or, if later, the date the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group becomes an indemnified party hereunder) and prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders the relevant form inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group from duly completing and delivering the relevant form with respect to it, and the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group so advises the Issuer and the Administrative Agent.

(h)      If a beneficial or equity owner of the Administrative Agent, a Funding Agent, a Program Support Provider or a member of a Purchaser Group (instead of the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agent, the Program Support Provider or the member of the Purchaser Group itself) is required under United States federal income tax law or the terms of a relevant treaty to provide IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or any successor applicable forms, as the case may be, in order to claim an exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes, then each such beneficial owner or equity owner shall be considered to be the Administrative Agent, a Funding Agent, a Program Support Provider or a member of a Purchaser Group for purposes of Section 7.3 (g).

SECTION 7.4. Break Funding Payments. The Issuer agrees to indemnify each Purchaser Group and to hold each Purchaser Group harmless from any loss or expense which such Purchaser Group may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Issuer in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a CP Tranche or a Eurodollar Tranche after the Issuer has given irrevocable notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture Supplement, or (b) default by the Issuer in making any prepayment in connection with a Decrease after the Issuer has given irrevocable notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5 or (c) the making of a prepayment of a CP Tranche or a

Eurodollar Tranche (including, without limitation, any Decrease) prior to the termination of the CP Rate Period for such CP Tranche or the Eurodollar Period for such Eurodollar Tranche, as the case may be. Such indemnification shall include an amount determined by the Funding Agent with respect to such Purchaser Group and shall equal either (x) the excess, if any, of (i) such Purchaser Group’s cost of funding the amount so prepaid or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the CP Rate Period or the Eurodollar Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the CP Rate Period or the Eurodollar Period that would have commenced on the date of such prepayment or of such failure), as the case may be, over (ii) the amount of interest earned by such Purchaser Group upon redeployment of an amount of funds equal to the amount prepaid or not borrowed, converted or continued for a comparable period or (y) if such Purchaser Group is able to terminate the funding source before its scheduled maturity, any costs associated with such termination; provided that any payments made by the Issuer pursuant to this subsection shall be made solely from funds available therefor pursuant to Section 5A.4(c), shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer to the extent that such funds are insufficient to make such payment. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Indenture Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any Funding Agent on behalf of a Purchaser Group to the Issuer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 7.5. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Eurodollar Period:

(a)      the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period, or

(b)      the Administrative Agent is advised by any Purchaser Group that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchaser Group of making or maintaining the Eurodollar Tranches during such Eurodollar Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to any Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (a) above) or with respect to such Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (b) above) shall not be allocated to any Eurodollar Tranche.

SECTION 7.6. Mitigation Obligations. If an Affected Party requests compensation under Section 7.2, or if the Issuer is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser Group or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser Group pursuant to Section 7.3, then, upon written notice from the Issuer, such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its obligations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, which pays a price for


 

63

such assignment which is acceptable to such Purchaser Group and its assignee, in the judgment of such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Party or Purchaser Group to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Party or Purchaser Group. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Party or Purchaser Group in connection with any such designation or assignment.

The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any CP Conduit Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture Supplement, any other Transaction Document, the SUBI Certificates, the Sold Units or the Fleet Receivables or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Issuer, the Administrator, SPV, the Origination Trust or the Servicer.

SECTION 10.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or the Administrator), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the registered holder of any Series 2005-1 Investor Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Funding Agents, on behalf of the Purchasers, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Funding Agents against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the Series 2005-1 Required Investor Noteholders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers.

shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Indenture Supplement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Issuer, the Administrator, SPV, the Origination Trust and the Servicer. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Funding Agents by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any CP Conduit Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Issuer, the Administrator, SPV, the Origination Trust or the Servicer which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 10.8. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Issuer, the Administrator or any of their Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to any Series 2005-1 Investor Note held by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Indenture Supplement and the other Transaction Documents as any APA Bank or Funding Agent and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “APA Bank,” and “Funding Agent” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 10.9. Resignation of Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to the Funding Agents, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Administrator. If


 

71

JPMorgan Chase shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Indenture Supplement, then the Series 2005-1 Required Investor Noteholders shall promptly appoint a successor administrative agent from among the Funding Agents, which successor administrative agent shall be approved by the Issuer and the Administrator (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Funding Agents, the Issuer and the Administrator, a successor agent from among the Funding Agents. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Administrator shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Series 2005-1 Required Investor Noteholders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Effective upon the appointment of a successor administrative agent, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Indenture Supplement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Indenture Supplement.
