The Trustee shall be required to make any such payment, deposit or withdrawal hereunder only to the extent that the Trustee has sufficient information to allow it to determine the amount thereof. The Servicer or the Transferor, as applicable, shall, upon request of the Trustee, promptly provide the Trustee with all information necessary to allow the Trustee to make such payment, deposit or withdrawal. Such funds or the proceeds of such withdrawal shall be applied by the Trustee in the manner in which such payment or deposit should have been made by the Transferor or the Servicer, as the case may be.
SECTION 4.09 Collections of Finance Charge Receivables Allocable to Segregated Transferor Interest. The Certificate Representative may from time to time notify the Transferor and the Servicer of the existence of a prefunding target amount and of the amount of the Transferor Interest that is to be the Segregated Transferor Interest in an amount equal to the prefunded amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Accounts (as defined in the Indenture and any supplement thereto) for any series of Notes. Prior to the close of business on the day any
-23-
Collections are deposited in the Collection Account during the Monthly Period in which such notice was given from and after the date of such notice, the Servicer will:
(a) allocate to the Segregated Transferor Interest and deposit in the Finance Charge Account the aggregate amount of all Collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to the Segregated Transferor Interest with respect to such Monthly Period, and
(b) on the following Transfer Date, (i) pay to the Series 2001‑D Certificateholder an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount deposited in the Finance Charge Account pursuant to clause (a) above, and (y) the aggregate amount of all Prefunding Earnings Shortfalls (as defined in the Indenture and the related supplements thereto) for all tranches of Notes with respect to such Monthly Period and (ii) pay to the Holder of the Transferor Interest an amount equal to any excess; provided, however, that within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of an Insolvency Event, the aggregate amount deposited into the Finance Charge Account pursuant to clause (a) on or prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency Event will, to the extent not previously paid to the Series 2001‑D Certificateholder, be paid to the Series 2001‑D Certificateholder.
SECTION 4.10 Class D Investor Charge‑Offs; Reallocated Class D Principal Collections.
(a) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Aggregate Class D Investor Default Amount. If on any Transfer Date the Aggregate Class D Investor Default Amount for the immediately preceding Monthly Period exceeds the sum of the amount of Available Funds allocated and available to fund such amount pursuant to subsection 4.06(a)(ii), the Class D Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the lesser of the Aggregate Class D Investor Default Amount and the Class D Investor Interest for such Transfer Date (a “Class D Investor Charge‑Off”). If on any Transfer Date prior to any applications pursuant to subsection 4.06(a)(ii) the Aggregate Class D Investor Default Amount exceeds the Class D Investor Interest, the Class D Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the amount by which the Aggregate Class D Investor Default Amount exceeds the Class D Investor Interest will be the “Aggregate Investor Default Amount.” Following the reduction of the Class D Investor Interest due to Class D Investor Charge‑Offs, the Class D Investor Interest thereafter shall be reimbursed on any Transfer Date (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate Class D Investor Charge‑Offs) by the amount of the Available Funds allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to subsection 4.06(a)(iii).
(b) On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Series 2001-D Supplement hereto) to withdraw from the Principal Account and apply Reallocated Class D Principal Collections as Available Funds. The amount of “Reallocated Class D Principal Collections” as of any Transfer Date shall be the excess (calculated prior to giving effect to any reallocations pursuant to Section 3.09 of the BAseries Indenture Supplement), if any, of the sum of the deposits, applications and payments to be made on such Transfer Date pursuant to subsections 3.01(a) and (b) of the BAseries Indenture Supplement over BAseries Available Funds (as such term is defined in the BAseries Indenture Supplement) for such Transfer Date
-24-
(such excess, the “BAseries Available Funds Shortfall”). The Class D Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount of any such Reallocated Class D Principal Collections, and thereafter shall be reimbursed on any Transfer Date (but not by an amount in excess of the Reallocated Class D Principal Collections) by the amount of the Available Funds allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to subsection 4.06(a)(iii). To the extent that the BAseries Available Funds Shortfall exceeds the Class D Investor Interest on any Transfer Date (determined after giving effect to any Class D Investor Charge‑Offs on such Transfer Date), the Class D Investor Interest shall be reduced to zero, and the excess of the BAseries Available Funds Shortfall over the amount of any Reallocated Class D Principal Collections applied on such Transfer Date shall be reimbursed to the extent amounts are available therefor pursuant to Section 3.09 of the BAseries Indenture Supplement.
