3. Additional Amounts Upon Partial Termination
On any Payment Date prior to the Expected Principal Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture Supplement), where as a result of principal payments on the Class C Notes (as defined in the Indenture Supplement), the Notional Amount would be reduced by the corresponding reduction in the Class C Note Principal Balance (as defined in the Indenture Supplement), the parties hereto shall treat the portion of such reduction (without duplication) as terminated on such Payment Date (a “Terminated Transaction”). Party A shall calculate the Market Quotation for the Terminated Transaction as set forth below.
“Market Quotation” means, with respect to a Terminated Transaction, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to Party A (expressed as a negative number) or by Party A (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement between Party A and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into such Terminated Transaction (with the same fixed and floating payment rates and remaining term as this Transaction) on the relevant Payment Date. Party A will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the relevant Payment Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by Party A. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, Party A will determine the Market Quotation in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Party A shall be the sole Reference Market-maker unless: (a) the reduction in the Notional Amount of the Transaction is equal to or greater than $56,250,000 on such Payment Date, and (b) the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee requests that quotations from Reference Market-makers other than Party A are utilized.
If the amount so determined by Party A in respect of a Terminated Transaction is positive, Party B shall owe such amount to Party A, which shall be payable (with interest thereon accruing from such Payment Date and calculated at the Fixed Rate) on the next Distribution Date to the extent provided in
3
the Indenture. If such amount is negative, no amounts shall be payable by Party A or Party B in respect of the Terminated Transaction.
