(c) WEST shall designate the application of the proceeds of the Series 2007-B2 Loans made on each Funding Date as either or both of the following: (i) a Warehouse Loan to be deposited in the Engine Acquisition Account as provided in Section 3.18 of the Indenture and used to acquire Additional Engines or to fund Discretionary Engine Modifications (including Qualified Engine Modifications), in each case whether or not such acquisition or funding is in connection with a Replacement Exchange, or (ii) a Collections Loan, to be deposited in the Collections Account as provided in Section 3.18 of the Indenture and used to increase the Available Collections Amount on any Payment Date, provided that the application of any Series 2007-B2 Loan as a Collections Loan shall be subject to the Available Collections Amount on such Payment Date being in an amount, calculated without the proceeds of such Collections Loan, sufficient to fund the payment in full of accrued Base Interest on all Series B Notes on such Payment Date and all amounts ranking senior thereto as provided in Section 3.14 of the Indenture.
(d) WEST may, on any Payment Date upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Series 2007-B2 Holders, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, terminate in whole or reduce in part the aggregate Maximum Commitments of the Series 2007-B2 Holders and the Maximum Principal Balances of the Series 2007-B2 Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed the excess of such Maximum Principal Balances over the then aggregate Outstanding Principal
9
Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes; provided that any partial reduction (based on the ratio of the then Maximum Commitments of such Series prior to such reduction) of the aggregate Maximum Commitments of the Series 2007-B2 Holders and the Maximum Principal Balances of the Series 2007-B2 Notes (i) shall be applied pro rata to the individual Maximum Commitments of the Series 2007-B2 Holders and the Maximum Principal Balances of the Series 2007-B2 Notes, respectively, and (ii) shall be accompanied by a proportionate partial reduction (based on the ratio of the Maximum Commitments of such Series prior to such reduction) of the aggregate Maximum Commitments of the Series 2007-A2 Holders. Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) shall be irrevocable, and such reduction shall be deemed to occur without any Series 2007-B2 Holder having to surrender its Series 2007-B2 Notes in exchange for a new Series 2007-B2 Note reflecting the reduced Maximum Principal Balance.
(e) WEST, on any Payment Date prior to the occurrence of a Conversion Event, may terminate the agreements of the Series 2007-B2 Holders to make Series 2007-B2 Loans and repay the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes for the Redemption Price, upon (A) at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to each Series 2007-B2 Holder, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, specifying the proposed Payment Date of such termination, and (B) payment in full of (i) the principal of, and interest on, the Series 2007-B2 Notes, (ii) Increased Costs, if any, and (iii) all other amounts then due and payable (or that become due and payable as a result of such reduction) to a Series 2007-B2 Holder under the Series 2007-B2 Note Purchase Agreement, this Supplement and the Indenture and (c) the simultaneous termination of the commitments of the Series 2007-A2 Holders and the payment in full of all amounts owing with respect to the Series 2007-A2 Notes.
(f) If any Series 2007-B2 Holder shall default on its obligation to make a Series 2007-B2 Loan on any Funding Date, one or more of the other Series 2007-B2 Holders may elect (but shall not be obligated) to make the Series 2007-B2 Loan of the defaulting Series 2007-B2 Holder. In such event, the Maximum Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Note held by the defaulting Series 2007-B2 Holder and the Maximum Commitment of the Series 2007-B2 Holder shall be reduced by the amount of the Series 2007-B2 Loan so made, and the Maximum Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Note held by the Series 2007-B2 Holder making such Series 2007-B2 Loan and the Maximum Commitment of such Series 2007-B2 Holder shall be increased by the amount of such Series 2007-B2 Loan.
(g) Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event, (i) the right of WEST to borrow under the Series 2007-B2 Notes shall terminate, (ii) Conversion Step-Up Interest shall begin to accrue on the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes as provided in Section 2.04(a), and (iii) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes shall become payable as provided in Section 2.05(a) and (b), provided, however, that, if all of the Series 2007-B2 Holders and Series 2007-A2 Holders as of the date of the occurrence of any Conversion Event elect to waive the occurrence of such Conversion Event within ninety (90) days of such occurrence, such Conversion Event shall be disregarded as long as such waiver is in effect, except that any such waiver in respect of a Conversion Event based on the occurrence of the Conversion Date shall not be for a period extending beyond the first anniversary of such Conversion Date, unless a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained with respect to any waiver extending beyond such first anniversary; and provided, further, that, if WEST subsequently cures an Early Amortization Event, Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event that resulted in a
10
Conversion Event that was not so waived, WEST may request the Series 2007-B2 Holders and Series 2007-A2 Holders to waive the original occurrence of such Conversion Event, Early Amortization Event, Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event and rescind and revoke the consequences described in clause (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.03(g) occurring as a result of such Conversion Event, which waiver, rescission and revocation shall be effective only if Series 2007-B2 Holders and Series 2007-A2 Holders representing 100% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes and Series 2007-A2 Notes consent thereto. The termination of any waiver pursuant to the provisos in the preceding sentence shall be treated as the occurrence on the date of such termination of the Conversion Event that was the subject of the waiver.
Section 2.04 Interest Payments; Commitment Fee.
(a) Interest on Series 2007-B2 Notes. Interest shall accrue (i) at the Series 2007-B2 Base Interest Rate on the Outstanding Principal Balance of each Series 2007-B2 Note during all or each portion of each Interest Accrual Period from the Effective Date to (but excluding) the date on which a Conversion Event occurs, and (ii) at a combined rate equal to the sum of the Series 2007-B2 Base Interest Rate and the Series 2007-B2 Conversion Step-Up Rate on the Outstanding Principal Balance of each Series 2007-B2 Note during all or the portion of each Interest Accrual Period from and after the date on which a Conversion Event occurs, in each case on the basis of actual days elapsed over a year of 360 days and shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date for the Interest Accrual Period ending on such Payment Date. The Base Interest Amount and the Conversion Step-Up Interest Amount for each Interest Accrual Period shall be calculated separately and paid separately as provided in Section 3.14 of the Indenture and Section 3.02 hereof. All amounts of the Base Interest Amount and the Conversion Step-Up Interest Amount shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Series 2007-B2 Notes have been accelerated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 of the Indenture and (ii) the Series 2007-B2 Final Maturity Date. On each Reference Date, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly deliver a written notice to the Series 2007-B2 Holders specifying the Series 2007-B2 Base Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period.
(b) Commitment Fee on Series 2007-B2 Notes. A fee (the “Commitment Fee”) shall accrue at the Series 2007-B2 Commitment Fee Rate on the Unused Commitment of the Series 2007-B2 Holders during all or the portion of each Interest Accrual Period from the Effective Date to (but excluding) the date on which a Conversion Event occurs and shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date for the Interest Accrual Period ending on such Payment Date. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed over a year of 360 days and shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date for the Interest Accrual Period ending on (but excluding) such Payment Date.
(c) Additional Interest. If WEST shall fail to pay in full (i) any Base Interest Amount, Conversion Step-Up Interest Amount or Commitment Fee on any Series 2007-B2 Note when due, (ii) any Increased Costs or (iii) any other amount becoming due under this Supplement (other than payments of principal on the Series 2007-B2 Notes), WEST shall, from time to time, pay Additional Interest on such unpaid amounts, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to, but not including, the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment), for the period during which such interest or other amount shall be unpaid from the
11
due date of such payment to the date of actual payment thereof. Any such Additional Interest shall be payable at the times and subject to the priorities set forth in Section 3.02 of this Supplement and Section 3.14 of the Indenture. All amounts of the Additional Interest shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on the Series 2007-B2 Notes have been accelerated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 of the Indenture and (ii) the Series 2007-B2 Final Maturity Date.
(d) Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Series 2007-B2 Note exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. If at any time the Interest Amount charged with respect to the Series 2007-B2 Notes exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to this Supplement and such Series 2007-B2 Note shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, but any subsequent reductions in One-Month LIBOR shall not reduce the interest to accrue on such Series 2007-B2 Note below the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law until the total amount of interest accrued on such Series 2007-B2 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 2007-B2 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, WEST agrees to pay to the Series 2007-B2 Holders 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 equal to the Interest Amount, and (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of this Supplement.
Section 2.05 Payments of Principal. (a) On each Payment Date prior to the date on which a Conversion Event occurs on which there is a Junior Borrowing Base Deficiency, principal shall be payable on the Series 2007-B2 Notes out of the Series B Supplemental Principal Payment Amount, to the extent and as provided in Sections 3.14 and 3.15(b) of the Indenture and in Section 3.02 hereof, provided that, on any Payment Date prior to the date on which a Conversion Event occurs, the Series 2007-B2 Notes shall be treated as Warehouse Notes for purposes of Section 3.15(b) of the Indenture and, on any Payment Date on or after a Conversion Event, the Series 2007-B2 Notes shall be treated as Term Notes for such purposes.
(b) (i) Within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of a Conversion Event (or, if earlier, by the first Payment Date following the occurrence of a Conversion Event), WEST shall cause the Administrative Agent to prepare and deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Series 2007-B2 Holders a schedule of Scheduled Targeted Principal Balances for the Series 2007-B2 Notes substantially in the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto. Payment Date Number 1 in Schedule 1 shall be on the first Payment Date after the date on which a Conversion Event occurs, and each succeeding numbered Payment Date in such Schedule 1 shall occur on each succeeding Payment Date, and the amount due on each such Payment Date shall be the product of (x) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes as of the close of business on the date on which the Conversion Event occurs and (y) the percentage specified for such Payment Date specified in Schedule 1. If the Series 2007-B2 Holders and Series 2007-A2 Holders waive the occurrence of a Conversion Event as provided in Section 2.03(g), the schedules delivered pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) in respect of such Conversion Event shall
12
be of no further force and effect and, upon the termination of such waiver or the subsequent occurrence of a Conversion Event that is not waived by the Series 2007-B2 Holders and Series 2007-A2 Holders as provided by Section 2.03(g) hereof, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a new schedule in accordance with this Section 2.01(b)(i), calculated as of the date of such termination or the date of such Conversion Event, as applicable.
(ii) On each Payment Date after a Conversion Event, unless and until the Series 2007-B2 Holders and Series 2007-A2 Holders waive such Conversion Event as provided in Section 2.03(g), the Scheduled Principal Payment Amount calculated for the Series 2007-B2 Notes for each such Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of the Series 2007-B2 Notes on each such Payment Date from amounts deposited in the Series 2007-B2 Series Account on such Payment Date as provided in Section 3.14 of the Indenture and Section 3.02 of this Supplement. So long as an Early Amortization Event or an Event of Default is then continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes shall be payable on each such Payment Date to the extent that amounts are available for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.14 of the Indenture and Section 3.02 of this Supplement. The then Outstanding Principal Balance of all Series 2007-B2 Notes shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Series 2007-B2 Notes have been accelerated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 of the Indenture and (ii) the Series 2007-B2 Final Maturity Date.
(c) WEST will have the option to prepay, on any Payment Date after a Conversion Event (each such Payment Date, an “Optional Redemption Date”), all or any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes on such Payment Date, in a minimum amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in the case of any prepayment in part, for the Redemption Price together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment; provided that, (i) as a condition to any such prepayment, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes shall be prepaid by a proportionate amount, such prepayment to be made as provided in the Series 2007-B2 Supplement, and (ii) as a condition to any such prepayment in part on a date on which an Early Amortization Event is continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance of each other Series of Notes shall be prepaid in a proportionate amount, such prepayments to be made as provided in the relevant Supplements. WEST may not make such prepayment from funds in the Collections Account, except to the extent that funds in the Collections Account would otherwise be payable to WEST in accordance with the terms of this Supplement and the Indenture, and may make any such prepayment in part from funds in the Series 2007-B2 Series Account, provided that funds in such Account may be used to fund a prepayment in whole but not in part. Any Optional Redemption in connection with a Refinancing funded with the proceeds of Additional Notes must be in whole, and any other Optional Redemption financed with funds other than funds in the Collections Account or the proceeds of Additional Notes may be in whole or in part.
(d) If there is any Balance in the Engine Acquisition Account at the end of any Delivery Period beginning on a Funding Date on which Series 2007-B2 Loans were made by the Series 2007-B2 Holders, the portion thereof allocated to the Series 2007-B2 Notes in accordance with Section 3.03 (b) of the Indenture shall be applied to the prepayment of the
13
Series 2007-B2 Notes as provided in Section 3.16(b) of the Indenture on the next succeeding Payment Date (the “Acquisition Redemption Date”) after the end of such Delivery Period.
(e) The Scheduled Targeted Principal Balances for the Series 2007-B2 Notes, as determined pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) hereof, shall be adjusted at the times and in the manner indicated in Section 3.19 of the Indenture.
Section 2.06 Series 2007-B2 Final Maturity Date. The unpaid principal amount of the Series 2007-B2 Notes together with all unpaid interest (including all Additional Interest and Conversion Step-Up Interest), fees, expenses, costs and other amounts payable by WEST pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, this Supplement and the other Series 2007-B2 Transaction Documents shall be due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Series 2007-B2 Notes have been accelerated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 of the Indenture and (ii) the Series 2007-B2 Final Maturity Date.
Section 2.07 Manner of Payments. All payments of principal and interest on the Series 2007-B2 Notes payable on each Payment Date shall be paid to the Series 2007-B2 Holders reflected in the Register as of the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds for receipt prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Payment Date. Any payments received by the Series 2007-B2 Holders after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day shall be considered to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 2.08 Increased Costs. If due to the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or the imposition of any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority after the Series Issuance Date of the Series 2007-B2 Notes reflecting such change, there shall be an increase in the cost to a Series 2007-B2 Holder of making or maintaining any investment in the Series 2007-B2 Note or any interest therein or of agreeing to purchase or invest in the Series 2007-B2 Note or any interest therein, as the case may be (other than by reason of any interpretation of or introduction of or change in laws or regulations relating to Taxes or Excluded Taxes), such Series 2007-B2 Holder shall promptly submit to WEST, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of such increased costs incurred by such Series 2007-B2 Holder. In determining such amount, such Series 2007-B2 Holder may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods, consistent with the averaging and attribution methods generally used by such Series 2007-B2 Holder in determining amounts of this type. The amount of increased costs set forth in such certificate (which certificate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence as to such amount) shall be included in the Increased Costs for the Interest Accrual Period immediately succeeding the date on which such certificate was delivered (or if such certificate was delivered during the last Interest Accrual Period, for such last Interest Accrual Period) and to the extent remaining outstanding, each Interest Accrual Period thereafter until paid in full. The Indenture Trustee shall pay such Increased Costs to such Series 2007-B2 Holders as part of the Increased Costs out of the Available Collections Amount on each Payment Date as provided in Section 3.14 of the Indenture and Section 3.02 hereof.
Section 2.09 Increased Capital. If the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or the imposition of any guideline or request from any
14
central bank or other Governmental Authority reflecting such change after the Series Issuance Date of the Series 2007-B2 Notes affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Series 2007-B2 Holder, and such Series 2007-B2 Holder determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a result of (i) the existence of the Series 2007-B2 Holder’s agreement to make or maintain an investment in the Series 2007-B2 Notes or any interest therein and other similar agreements or facilities, or (ii) the existence of any agreement by Series 2007-B2 Holders to make or maintain an investment in the Series 2007-B2 Notes or any interest therein or to fund any such investment and any other commitments of the same type, such Series 2007-B2 Holder shall promptly submit to WEST, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the additional amounts required to compensate such Series 2007-B2 Holder in light of such circumstances. In determining such amount, such Series 2007-B2 Holder may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods, consistent with the averaging and attribution methods generally used by such Series 2007-B2 Holder in determining amounts of this type. The amount set forth in such certificate (which certificate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence as to such amount) shall be included in the Increased Costs for the Interest Accrual Period immediately succeeding the date on which such certificate was delivered, and to the extent remaining outstanding, each Interest Accrual Period thereafter until paid in full. The Indenture Trustee shall pay such Increased Costs to such Series 2007-B2 Holders as part of the Increased Costs out of the Available Collections Amount on each Payment Date as provided in Section 3.14 of the Indenture and Section 3.02 hereof.
Section 2.10 Payments of Principal and Interest. (a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be made under this Supplement, the Series 2007-B2 Notes or the Indenture by WEST or the Indenture Trustee to or for the benefit of a Series 2007-B2 Holder shall be made, to the extent allowed by law, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. If, as a result of any change in law, treaty or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or regulatory agency or body charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, or the adoption of any law, treaty or regulation, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees (all of the foregoing collectively, “Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amount payable to any Series 2007-B2 Holder hereunder, the amount so payable to such Series 2007-B2 Holder shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Series 2007-B2 Holder (after payment of all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees) the amount stated to be payable to such Series 2007-B2 Holder hereunder (such increase and any similar increase described in this Section 2.10(a), a “Section 2.10(a) Amount”); provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to (i) income taxes (including, without limitation, branch profits taxes, minimum taxes and taxes computed under alternative methods, at least one of which is based on net income) and franchise taxes that are based on income or any other tax upon or measured by income or gross receipts imposed on any Series 2007-B2 Holder, in each case, as a result of a present or former connection (other than any connection arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Supplement) between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax and such Series 2007-B2 Holder; (ii) any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees that would not have been imposed but for the failure by such Series 2007-B2 Holder to provide and keep current any certification or other documentation permitted by Applicable Law to be delivered by such Series 2007-B2
15
Holder and required to qualify for an exemption from or reduced rate thereof; (iii) any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees imposed as a result of a change by any Series 2007-B2 Holder of the office through which the Series 2007-B2 Note or any interest hereunder is acquired, accounted for or booked as a result of the sale, transfer or assignment by any Series 2007-B2 Holder of its interest hereunder, other than any such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees imposed as a result of any such change or adoption occurring after any such Series 2007-B2 Note or interest therein is acquired, accounted for or booked; (iv) taxes measured by income, gross receipts, assets or capital of any Series 2007-B2 Holder by the taxing authority of the jurisdiction where such Series 2007-B2 Holder is organized, incorporated, managed, controlled or is considered to be doing business or in which it maintains an office, branch or agency (other than Taxes imposed on the gross amount of any payments made to such Series 2007-B2 Holder under this Supplement without regard to such place of origination or incorporation, such management or control, the conduct of such business or the maintenance of such office, branch or agency); (v) any Taxes imposed on such Series 2007-B2 Holder as a result of payments not related to this Supplement; and (vi) any withholding tax with respect to any Series 2007-B2 Holder that has not provided the documentation referred to in Section 2.10(c) (all such exclusions being hereinafter called “Excluded Taxes”). To the extent that any Series 2007-B2 Holder actually realizes a tax benefit on its income tax returns (whether by reason of a deduction, credit or otherwise) (a “Tax Benefit”) for a given year that is attributable to the payment by WEST or the Indenture Trustee of any such Taxes on behalf of such Series 2007-B2 Holder, such Series 2007-B2 Holder shall reimburse WEST for the amount of such Tax Benefit, it being understood that the taking of any action to realize any Tax Benefit shall be within the sole discretion of such Series 2007-B2 Holder; provided, however, that for purposes of reimbursing WEST, such Series 2007-B2 Holder shall calculate the amount of the Tax Benefit realized that is attributable to WEST’s or the Indenture Trustee’s payment of such Taxes on behalf of such Series 2007-B2 Holder as if such Series 2007-B2 Holder realized or received such Tax Benefit pro rata with all other Tax Benefits available to it for such year.
(b) Each of WEST and, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law (including the Code), each Series 2007-B2 Noteholder agrees that, with respect to all federal, state and local income taxes, it will treat the Series 2007-B2 Notes as indebtedness.
(c) Any Section 2.10(a) Amounts payable to a Series 2007-B2 Holder hereunder shall be included in the Increased Costs (i) for the Interest Accrual Period in respect of which the payment subject to withholding is made and (ii) to the extent remaining outstanding, each Interest Accrual Period thereafter until paid in full. The Indenture Trustee shall pay such Section 2.10(a) Amounts to the Series 2007-B2 Holders as part of the Increased Costs out of the Available Collections Amount on each Payment Date as provided in Section 3.14 of the Indenture and Section 3.02 hereof.
(d) Each Series 2007-B2 Holder not organized under the laws of the United States or a State thereof shall, to the extent that it is entitled to receive payments under this Supplement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes (other than withholding Taxes), provide a W-8 ECI, W-8 BEN or any other information and documentation that may be necessary in order to obtain such exemption.

Section 2.11 Breakage Costs. If (i) any payment of principal on any Series 2007-B2 Loan is made on a day other than a Payment Date, or (ii) any Series 2007-B2 Loan requested by WEST is not, for any reason whatsoever related to a default or nonperformance by WEST, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, WEST shall indemnify the Series 2007-B2 Holders against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the Series 2007-B2 Holders, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Series 2007-B2 Holders to fund or maintain such Series 2007-B2 Loan during such Interest Accrual Period. The Indenture Trustee shall pay any amounts due under this Section 2.11 to the Series A Holders as part of the Increased Costs out of the Available Collections Amount on each Payment Date as provided in Section 3.14 of the Indenture and Section 3.02 hereof.
Section 2.12 Restrictions on Transfer. On the Effective Date, WEST shall sell the Series 2007-B2 Notes to the Persons named as the initial Series 2007-B2 Holders in and pursuant to the Series 2007-B2 Note Purchase Agreement and deliver such Series 2007-B2 Notes in accordance herewith and therewith. Thereafter, no Series 2007-B2 Note may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of except in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, this Supplement and the Series 2007-B2 Note Purchase Agreement. Except as provided herein and in the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligations or duties with respect to determining whether any transfers of the Series 2007-B2 Notes are made in accordance with the Securities Act or any other law; provided that with respect to the Series 2007-B2 Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce such transfer restrictions in accordance with the terms set forth in this Supplement. Prior to the occurrence of a Conversion Event that is not waived by the Series 2007-B2 Holders and Series 2007-A2 Holders as provided by Section 2.03(g) hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall not register any transfer of a Series 2007-B2 Note, in whole or in part, unless the transferee of such Series 2007-B2 Note is an Eligible Transferee and executes and delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Assignment and Assumption of the transferor’s obligations under the Series 2007-B2 Note Purchase Agreement to make the Series 2007-B2 Loans in an amount equal to the excess of the Maximum Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Note being transferred at the time of transfer over the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Series 2007-B2 Note at such time. After the occurrence of a Conversion Event that is not waived by the Series 2007-B2 Holders and Series 2007-A2 Holders as provided by Section 2.03(g) hereof, the Series 2007-B2 Notes shall be transferred in accordance with the terms of the Indenture without regard to whether any transferee of a Series 2007-B2 Note is an Eligible Transferee.
Section 2.13 Payment Date Schedule. WEST shall cause the Administrative Agent to distribute a copy of each Payment Date Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 3.13(e) of the Indenture to the Series 2007-B2 Holders.

The Holder of this Series 2007-B2 Note agrees, by acceptance hereof, to pay over to the Administrative Agent any money (including principal, premium and interest) paid to it in respect of this Series 2007-B2 Note in the event that the Indenture Trustee, acting in good faith, determines subsequently that such monies were not paid in accordance with the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or as a result of any other mistake of fact or law on the part of the Administrative Agent in making such payment.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Series of Notes to waive compliance by WEST with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Holders of this Series 2007-B2 Note and of any Series 2007-B2 Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Series 2007-B2 Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Series 2007-B2 Note.
This Series 2007-B2 Note, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws, other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Laws.
