(d) If the Termination Date has not occurred, a Final Advance shall be made by the Liquidity Facility Provider following the receipt by the Cash Manager of a Termination Notice from the Liquidity Facility Provider pursuant to Section 6.01, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.14(i) of the Trust Indenture, upon delivery to the Liquidity Facility Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex V, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Cash Manager, in an amount equal to the Available Amount (plus, if the delivery of such Notice of Borrowing occurs prior to the Budgeted Cash Termination Date, the Available Budgeted Cash Amount) at the time of delivery, and shall be used to fund the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account (in accordance with Sections 3.14(i) and 3.14(f) of the Trust Indenture).
(e) Each Borrowing shall be made by notice in writing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) in substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may be, given to the Liquidity Facility Provider by the Cash Manager on behalf of the Borrower, at least 3 Business Days prior to the day on which the Borrowing is to be made available to the Cash Manager. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Cash Manager in respect of any Borrowing no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Facility Provider shall make available to the Cash Manager, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available funds, before 12:00 noon (New York time) on the third Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by the Cash Manager in such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Cash Manager in respect of any Borrowing after 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Facility Provider shall make available to the Cash Manager, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available funds, before 12:00 noon (New York time) on the fourth Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by the Cash Manager in such Notice of Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Cash Manager in accordance with such wire transfer instructions as the Cash Manager shall furnish from time to time to the Liquidity Facility
11
Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Cash Manager. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof to the Liquidity Facility Provider at the address specified in Section 7.02 hereof. In the event the Liquidity Facility Provider fails to make available to the Cash Manager the amount of any such Borrowing prior to the time specified above on the due date specified above, the Cash Manager shall, prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on such due date, make a demand on the Liquidity Guarantor under the Liquidity Guarantee for payment of the amount of such Borrowing, which payment shall be due and payable by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day.
(f) Upon the making of any Advance in accordance with the Cash Manager’s payment instructions requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day after the date of receipt of the Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Facility Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Facility Provider shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances available hereunder in respect of such Notice of Borrowing to the Cash Manager or to any other Person. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) to fund the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account, the Liquidity Facility Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Cash Manager to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.14(f) of the Trust Indenture on behalf of the Borrower, and provided further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Liquidity Facility Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and the Budgeted Cash Reserve Account to the extent provided in Section 3.02 of the Trust Indenture. By paying to the Cash Manager proceeds of Advances requested by the Cash Manager in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Liquidity Facility Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested.
Section 2.03. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Facility Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.04.Termination of the Maximum Commitment. Upon the making of a Downgrade Advance, a Non-Extension Advance or a Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Liquidity Facility Provider to make further Advances hereunder with respect to the Maximum Facility Commitment shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Cash Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder with respect to the Maximum Facility Commitment. Upon the making of a Downgrade Advance, a Non-Extension Advance or a Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Budgeted Cash Termination Date or the Termination Date, the obligation of the Liquidity Facility Provider to make further Advances hereunder with respect to the Maximum Budgeted Cash Commitment shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Cash Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder with respect to the Maximum Budgeted Cash Commitment.

Section 2.05.Repayments of Liquidity Facility Advances or the Final Advance
(a) Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Facility Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Facility Provider (i) on each Payment Date, an amount equal to the amount of a Facility Advance or the Final Advance (any such Facility Advance or the Final Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an “Unpaid Advance”), plus (ii) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided that if (A) the Liquidity Facility Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Facility Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (B) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Facility Advances have reduced the Available Amount to zero, then such Facility Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Facility Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Facility Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Facility Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Facility Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Facility Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable on a Facility Advance or the Final Advance shall not be regarded as overdue unless such interest is not paid when due under Section 3.07.
(b) Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Facility Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Facility Provider (i) on each Payment Date, an amount equal to the amount of a Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advance (any such Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an “Unpaid Budgeted Cash Advance”), plus (ii) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Budgeted Cash Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided that if (A) the Liquidity Facility Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (B) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advances have reduced the Available Budgeted Cash Amount to zero, then such Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Facility Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Facility Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Facility Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable on a Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advance shall not be regarded as overdue unless such interest is not
13
paid when due under Section 3.07. In the event that the principal amount of any Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advance remains outstanding after the Budgeted Cash Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to repay such principal first, from and to the extent of remaining funds in the Budgeted Cash Account and the Budgeted Cash Reserve Account and then on each Payment Date in equal consecutive monthly installments of $625,000 each (or such lesser amount as shall equal the outstanding balance thereof) (which amounts shall remain payable if not paid) until such principal is repaid in full, subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof. The principal amount of any Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advance may also be repaid from funds withdrawn from the Budgeted Cash Account in accordance with Section 3.01(q) of the Indenture. The principal amount of each Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advance shall be immediately due and payable in full upon the occurrence of a DSCR Failure, the issuance of a Default Notice or the Acceleration of the Notes, subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof.
Section 2.06.Repayments of Provider Advances
(a) Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.14(c), 3.14(d), 3.14(f), and 3.14(i) of the Trust Indenture. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Facility Provider, on each Payment Date, commencing on the first Payment Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such Provider Advance, in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account for the purpose of paying part or all of a Shortfall in accordance with Section 3.14(f) of the Trust Indenture (the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Downgrade Advance” and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an “Applied Non-Extension Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as a Liquidity Facility Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Facility Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Facility Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Cash Manager pursuant to Section 6.01 or an Insolvency Proceeding occurs, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement solely for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Facility Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account or the Budgeted Cash Reserve Account on account of excess amounts in such account, as determined by and in accordance with Section 3.14(f)(ii) of the Trust Indenture, the Borrower agrees to repay or cause to be repaid to the Liquidity Facility Provider any Provider Advance in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07.
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account or the Budgeted Cash Reserve Account of any amount pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iv) of the Trust Indenture (any such amount being a “Replenishment Amount”) for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the Maximum Commitment at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as a
14
Liquidity Facility Advance for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Facility Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.14(e) of the Trust Indenture, as provided in Section 3.14(f) of the Trust Indenture, amounts remaining on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and the Budgeted Cash Reserve Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Facility Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity Facility Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.
Section 2.07.Payments to the Liquidity Facility Provider Under the Trust Indenture. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Facility Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Trust Indenture provides that amounts available and referred to in Article III of the Trust Indenture, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Facility Provider pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.14(f) of the Trust Indenture), shall be paid to the Liquidity Facility Provider in accordance with the terms thereof (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable hereunder). Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Facility Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Facility Provider in the order of priority required by the applicable provisions of Article III of the Trust Indenture and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder.
Section 2.08.Book Entries. The Liquidity Facility Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Facility Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower and the Cash Manager in respect of such Advances.
Section 2.09.Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the Borrower to the Liquidity Facility Provider under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts on deposit in Accounts and the other property described in the Trust Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement and only to the extent that such Accounts and such other property shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Cash Manager to make payments on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Trust Indenture. The Liquidity Facility Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts and property to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Trust Indenture and this Agreement and that the Borrower and the Cash Manager, in their respective individual capacities, are not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and the Budgeted Cash Reserve Account shall be available to the Cash Manager to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.14(f) of the Trust Indenture. Amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account constituting Provider Advances shall be promptly returned to the
15
Liquidity Facility Provider following the Termination Date (other than in the circumstances described in clauses (i), (iv) or (v) of the definition of Termination Date) until all amounts owed to the Liquidity Facility Provider hereunder have been paid in full, and the balance remaining in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account shall be deposited by the Cash Manager into the Collections Account. Amounts on deposit in the Budgeted Cash Reserve Account constituting Unapplied Provider Advances shall be promptly returned to the Liquidity Facility Provider following the Budgeted Cash Termination Date until all amounts owed to the Liquidity Facility Provider hereunder have been paid in full and the balance thereof shall be deposited by the Cash Manager into the Collections Account. In the event that the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries are insufficient, after payment of all other claims, if any, ranking in priority to the claims of the Liquidity Facility Provider hereunder, to pay in full such claims of the Liquidity Facility Provider, then the Liquidity Facility Provider shall have no further claim against the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in respect of any such unpaid amounts.
Section 2.10.Extension of the Expiry Date; Replacement Liquidity Facility; Non-Extension Advance. No earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 30th day prior to the then applicable Expiry Date, the Borrower or the Cash Manager shall make an Extension Request requesting that the Liquidity Facility Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Maturity Date, and (ii) a date that is not more than 364 days from the then effective Expiry Date (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Facility Provider hereunder have been earlier terminated in accordance herewith). The Liquidity Facility Provider must accept or reject the Extension Request on or before the 10th day prior to the then applicable Expiry Date. The Liquidity Facility Provider is not required to agree to the Extension Request. If the Liquidity Facility Provider rejects the Extension Request, then the Liquidity Facility Provider may, at its option in accordance with Section 3.14(e)(i) of the Trust Indenture, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement during the period no earlier than 35 days and no later than 10 days prior to the then applicable Expiry Date. In addition, the Liquidity Facility Provider may, at its option in accordance with Sections 3.14(e)(ii) and 3.14(e)(iii)(A) of the Trust Indenture, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement at any time (regardless of whether a Downgrade Event or the Expiry Date has occurred). If a Replacement Liquidity Facility is provided at any time after the making of a Downgrade Advance or a Non-Extension Advance under the Liquidity Facility, the funds with respect to such Liquidity Facility on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account (with any accrued interest on such funds computed in accordance with Section 3.07) will be returned to the Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced. If the Liquidity Facility Provider neither agrees to the Extension Request contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 2.10 nor provides for a Replacement Liquidity Facility (whether or not the Cash Manager has in fact made such Extension Request), the Cash Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall immediately request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.14(d) of the Trust Indenture.
Section 2.11.Use of Downgrade Advances and Non-Extension Advances. The proceeds of Non-Extension Advances and Downgrade Advances to the extent of the Available Amount will be held in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account as cash collateral to be used for the same purposes and under the same circumstances, and subject to the same conditions, as cash payments of Facility Advances under the Liquidity Facility would be used. The proceeds of Non-Extension Advances and Downgrade Advances to the extent of the Available Budgeted
16
Cash Amount will be held in the Budgeted Cash Reserve Account as cash collateral to be used for the same purposes and under the same circumstances, and subject to the same conditions, as cash payments of Budgeted Cash Shortfall Advances under the Liquidity Facility would be used.
ARTICLE III
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
Section 3.01.Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Facility Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Facility Provider of making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances or there shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Facility Provider to be material in (x) its return on capital or equity or (y) the amount receivable by the Liquidity Facility Provider under this Agreement or the Trust Indenture in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or reduction, such event does not arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Facility Provider, from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an “Increased Cost”), then the Borrower agrees, subject to Section 2.09, from time to time to pay to the Liquidity Facility Provider an amount equal to such Increased Cost within 10 Business Days after delivery to the Borrower and the Cash Manager of a certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Facility Provider describing in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the basis for the determination of the amount of such Increased Cost; provided that, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with respect to any Increased Costs accruing from the date 90 days prior to the date of delivery of such certificate. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima facie evidence of the amount of the Increased Costs for purposes of this Agreement; provided that any determinations and allocations by the Liquidity Facility Provider of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the Advances are made on a reasonable basis. The Liquidity Facility Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of or attributable to Taxes (the indemnifications for which are set out solely in Section 3.03). The Liquidity Facility Provider will notify the Borrower as promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Facility Provider to compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity Facility Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased Costs and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce, to the greatest extent possible, any claim in respect of Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Facility Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Facility Provider to take any action that is not materially consistent with its internal policies or is otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Facility Provider or that would cause the Liquidity Facility Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Facility Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, the Borrower may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.14(e) of the Trust Indenture.
17
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Facility Provider’s jurisdiction of organization and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being agreed that the consultative document issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision entitled “The New Basel Capital Accord,” shall not be considered a Regulatory Change proposed or pending as of the date of this Agreement); (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances peculiar to the Liquidity Facility Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule, regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to such Increased Cost; or (c) if the Liquidity Facility Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01.
Section 3.02. [Intentionally omitted]
Section 3.03.Withholding Taxes.
(a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Facility Provider under this Agreement, the Borrower shall deduct and pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, subject to Section 2.09, pay to the Liquidity Facility Provider such additional amounts as shall be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity Facility Provider (after deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount that would have been received by the Liquidity Facility Provider had no withholding or deduction of Covered Taxes been required;provided,however, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount in respect of any Covered Tax unless such Covered Tax is imposed as a result of a change in law after the date hereof, or if such tax is imposed as a result of the failure of the Liquidity Facility Provider to fulfill its obligations under the succeeding paragraph. The Liquidity Facility Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Facility Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Facility Provider. If the Liquidity Facility Provider receives a refund of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes for which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Liquidity Facility Provider shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collections Account) the amount of such refund (and any interest thereon) or net benefit.
The Liquidity Facility Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower such forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of Tax on payments hereunder (including an exemption under an applicable income tax treaty) so that such forms or documentation are effective for all periods during which it is the Liquidity Facility
18
Provider and (ii) provide timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation is or becomes inaccurate. The Liquidity Facility Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that payments hereunder are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes. The Liquidity Facility Provider agrees to take such actions as the Borrower shall reasonably request and as are consistent with applicable requirements of law to claim any available reductions or exemptions from Covered Taxes and to otherwise cooperate with the Borrower to minimize any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 3.03. The Liquidity Facility Provider further represents that it is a Qualifying Lender as of the Effective Date and will be a Qualifying Lender on each Payment Date thereafter. In the event the Liquidity Facility Provider grants a Participation, it agrees to provide to the Borrower a letter of representation from the intended participant providing that the participant is at that time and will be on each Payment Date a Qualifying Lender and including the name and address and the country of tax residence of the intended participant as well as an undertaking by the intended participant to notify the Borrower of any relevant changes in this information.
If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax, the Liquidity Facility Provider will cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Tax at the Borrower’s expense and if requested by the Borrower in writing; provided, however, that the Liquidity Facility Provider will not be required to take any action hereunder which, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidity Facility Provider, would cause the Liquidity Facility Provider or its applicable Lending Office to suffer a material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.
(b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Facility Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Facility Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Facility Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment.
If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the Liquidity Facility Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Class G-1 Notes, the Borrower shall deliver to the Liquidity Facility Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Class G-1 Notes) as the Liquidity Facility Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes.
19
Section 3.04.Payments The Cash Manager shall make available, or shall cause to be made available, each payment to the Liquidity Facility Provider under this Agreement no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due. The Cash Manager shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Facility Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the following account:
Beneficiary: | [__________] |
Swift Code: | [__________] |
US Correspondent: | [__________] |
Swift Code: | [__________] |
Account Number: | [__________] |
Section 3.05.Computations. All computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.
Section 3.06.Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.
Section 3.07.Interest.
(a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Liquidity Facility Advance or Final Advance from and including the date of such Liquidity Facility Advance or Final Advance and, in the case of any Applied Provider Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account to pay the amounts set forth in Section 2.01) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Liquidity Facility Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at the interest rate per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Facility Rate (as defined below) for such Liquidity Facility Advance, Final Advance or Applied Provider Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest payable
20
pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would have accrued (without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect.
(b) Except as provided in Sections 3.07(e) and 3.10 and clause (d) of the definition of “LIBOR Rate”, each Advance (other than an Unapplied Non-Extension Advance or an Unapplied Downgrade Advance) will be a LIBOR Advance.
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(d) [Intentionally omitted]
(e) Each Unapplied Non-Extension Advance and Unapplied Downgrade Advance will be invested by the Cash Manager in Permitted Account Investments. The Liquidity Facility Provider shall direct the Cash Manager’s investments in writing in Permitted Account Investments. Each Unapplied Non-Extension Advance and Unapplied Downgrade Advance will bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts deposited in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account or the Budgeted Cash Reserve Account, as applicable. The Cash Manager will apply such Investment Earnings, calculated as of the applicable Calculation Date, to satisfy the Borrower’ interest payment obligations (payable in arrears on each Payment Date) to the Liquidity Facility Provider. Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance and each outstanding Unapplied Downgrade Advance will continue to be subject to payment of the Liquidity Facility Non-Use Fee as if no Downgrade Advance or Non-Extension Advance is outstanding and, from and after the date, if any, on which such Downgrade Advance or Non-Extension Advance is converted into a Liquidity Facility Advance or a Final Advance (as described in Section 6.01 under “Liquidity Facility Events of Default”), will bear interest at a rate equal to the Liquidity Facility Interest Rate. On the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees, subject to Section 2.09, fully to repay any Downgrade Advance or Non-Extension Advance remaining outstanding, together with accrued interest to the Liquidity Facility Provider.
(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Liquidity Facility Interest Rate for such Interest Period.
(g) The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the “Applicable Liquidity Facility Rate”.
Section 3.08.[Intentionally omitted]
Section 3.09.Funding Loss Indemnification. Subject to Section 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Liquidity Facility Provider, upon the request of the
21
Liquidity Facility Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Facility Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Facility Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of the Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice delivered by the Cash Manager under Section 2.02.
Section 3.10.Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Facility Provider, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Facility Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Facility Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then the Liquidity Facility Provider, after using all reasonable endeavors to make alternative arrangements satisfactory to the Borrower to meet its obligations as contemplated hereby, may give notice to the Borrower and the Cash Manager specifying: (a) the relevant change; (b) its effect upon the Liquidity Facility Provider; and (c) if the illegality or prohibition may be avoided by repayment of only part of the LIBOR Advance, then the amount of the LIBOR Advance required to be repaid for that purpose shall (subject to Section 2.09) be repaid without penalty, or if the illegality or prohibition cannot be avoided as aforesaid, declaring that the Liquidity Facility Provider’s obligations to permit further Advances under this Agreement up to the Available Amount (plus, if such date of determination occurs prior to the Budgeted Cash Termination Date, the Available Budgeted Cash Amount) shall be terminated forthwith provided that all sums already advanced to the Borrower shall continue to be repayable on the terms and in the manner provided in this Agreement. The Liquidity Facility Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such actions, including, without limitation, designating a different Lending Office; provided, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Facility Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Facility Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Facility Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for such actions, the Borrower may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.14(e) of the Trust Indenture.
