For purposes of calculating “Collateral Value” in respect of the Series 2020-VF1 Notes, the Collateral Value shall be zero for any Receivable that:

(i) is attributable to any Designated Pool to the extent that the related Receivable Balance of such Receivable, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balance already outstanding with respect to such Designated Pool, would cause the related Advance Ratio to be equal to or greater than 100%;

(ii) is not a Facility Eligible Receivable;

The Note Balance of the Series 2020-VF1 Notes may be increased from time to time on certain Funding Dates in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 4.3 of the Base Indenture, but not in excess of the related Maximum VFN Principal Balance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Base Indenture, the Issuer may, upon at least seven (7) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and Indenture Trustee, redeem in whole or in part, and/or terminate and cause retirement of any of the Series 2020-VF1 Notes at any time using proceeds of issuance of new Notes.

The Series 2020-VF1 Notes are also subject to optional redemption in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1 of the Base Indenture.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the failure pay any Target Amortization Amount when due, as described in the definition thereof, shall constitute an Event of Default.

(d) The Administrative Agent and the Issuer further confirm that the Series 2020-VF1 Notes issued on the Issuance Date pursuant to this Indenture Supplement shall be issued in the name of “JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.” The Issuer and the Administrative Agent hereby direct the Indenture Trustee to issue the Series 2020-VF 1 Notes in the name of “JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.” For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto hereby agree that, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note Purchase Agreements, the Administrative Agent may act as agent of each Noteholder (or “purchaser”, howsoever denominated) party to the Note Purchase Agreement in respect of the related Series 2020-VF 1 Notes and shall determine the allocation of “Additional Note Balances” (as such term is defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, if applicable) or VFN Principal Balance increases to be funded by each such Noteholder (or purchaser).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.3(b)(iii) of the Base Indenture, VFN draws on any other Series of VFNs shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Series 2020-VF 1 Notes. The VFN draws in respect of the Series 2020-VF 1 Variable Funding Notes shall be made in accordance with the instructions provided in the related Funding Certification.

(f) The parties hereto agree that the failure to pay any portion of any related Undrawn Fee Amount on any Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.1 (a)(i) of the Base Indenture.

Section 7. Determination of Note Interest Rate and LIBOR.

(a) At least two (2) Business Days prior to each Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Note Interest Rate (and each component thereof) for the related Interest Accrual Period (in the case of One-Month LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7(b) below) and the Interest Payment Amount for the Series 2020-VF1 Notes for the upcoming Payment Date, and include a report of such amount in the related Payment Date Report.

(b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Administrative Agent will determine the arithmetic mean of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) quotations for one-month Eurodollar deposits (“One-Month LIBOR”) for the succeeding Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2020-VF1 Notes on the basis of the Reference Banks’ offered LIBOR quotations provided to the Administrative Agent as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date. As used herein with respect to a LIBOR Determination Date, “Reference Banks” means leading banks engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market (i) with an established place of business in London, (ii) whose quotations appear on the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page for the LIBOR Determination Date in question and (iii) which have been designated as such by the Administrative Agent and are able and willing to provide such quotations to the Administrative Agent for each LIBOR Determination Date. “Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page” means the display designated as page US0001M Index Page on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News (or such other pages as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying LIBOR quotations of major banks). If any Reference Bank should be removed from the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page or in any other way fails to meet the qualifications of a Reference Bank, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, designate an alternative Reference Bank.

If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, two (2) or more of the Reference Banks provide offered One-Month LIBOR quotations on the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page, One-Month LIBOR for the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2020-VF1 Notes will be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal places).

If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, only one (1) or none of the Reference Banks provides such offered One-Month LIBOR quotations for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period, One-Month LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2020-VF1 Notes will be the higher of (x) One-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous LIBOR Determination Date and (y) the Reserve Interest Rate. The “Reserve Interest Rate” on any date of determination will be the rate per annum that the Administrative Agent determines to be either (A) the arithmetic mean (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal places) of the one-month Eurodollar lending rate that New York City banks selected by the Administrative Agent are quoting, on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two (2) leading banks in the London Interbank market or (B) in the event that the Administrative Agent is unable to determine such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month Eurodollar lending rate that the New York City banks so selected by the Administrative Agent are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date to leading European banks.

If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, the Administrative Agent is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in the preceding paragraph, One-Month LIBOR for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period will be One-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous LIBOR Determination Date.

(c) The establishment of One-Month LIBOR by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent’s subsequent calculation of the Note Interest Rate (and each component thereof) on the Series 2020-VF1 Variable Funding Notes for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, and the Interest Payment Amount for the Series 2020-VF1 Notes, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.

(d) If prior to any Payment Date, the Administrative Agent determines in its sole good faith discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining One-Month LIBOR, One-Month LIBOR is no longer in existence, or the administrator of One-Month LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which One-Month LIBOR shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Administrative Agent may give prompt written notice thereof to the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, whereupon the rate for such period that will replace One-Month LIBOR for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Administrative Agent, shall be the greater of (i) an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) and (ii) zero, in lieu of One-Month LIBOR (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole good faith discretion and otherwise consistent with those used for similarly situated customers and with substantially similar assets subject thereto that are under the supervision of Administrative Agent’s investment bank New York mortgage finance business that administers the Notes.

Section 8. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Regulatory Change or other change of requirement of any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to a Noteholder of a Series 2020-VF1 Variable Funding Note (a “Requirement of Law”) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Noteholder with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(1) shall subject such Noteholder to any Taxes (other than Taxes described in paragraph (a)(ii) through (d) of the definition of Indemnified Taxes including any such (a)(ii) Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) (including Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) with respect to its Series 2020-VF1 Variable Funding; shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Noteholder which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Note Interest Rate hereunder; or

(2) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or credit extended or participated by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Noteholder which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Note Interest Rate hereunder; or

(3) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Noteholder’s capital or on the capital of such Noteholder’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Indenture Supplement, in the case of the Series 2020-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, or the Series 2020-VF1 Variable Funding Notes to a level below that which such Noteholder or such Noteholder’s holding company could have achieved but for such Requirements of Law (other than any Regulatory Change, Requirement of Law, interpretation or application thereof, request or directive with respect to taxes) (taking into consideration such Noteholder’s policies and the policies of such Noteholder’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy); or

(4) shall impose on such Noteholder or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to taxes) affecting this Indenture Supplement, in the case of the Series 2020-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or the Series 2020-VF1 Variable Funding Notes or any participation therein; or

(5) shall impose on such Noteholder any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Noteholder, by an amount which such Noteholder deems, in good faith, to be material (collectively or individually, “Increased Costs”), of continuing to hold its Series 2020-VF1 Variable Funding Note, of maintaining its obligations with respect thereto, or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Noteholder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) or (in the case of any change in a Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Noteholder or any Person controlling such Noteholder with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority made subsequent to the date hereof) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Noteholder’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its obligations as a Noteholder of a Variable Funding Note to a level below that which such Noteholder or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Noteholder’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed, in good faith, by such Noteholder to be material, then, in any such case, such Noteholder (i) agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Administrator with notice of such change in Requirements of Law; provided that any failure to provide such notice shall not affect the Administrator’s obligation to pay such documented additional amount or amounts, and (ii) shall provide the Administrator with an invoice evidencing such documented additional amount or amounts as calculated by such Noteholder in good faith as will compensate such Noteholder for such increased cost or reduced amount, and such invoiced amount shall be payable to such Noteholder on the Payment Date following the next Determination Date following such invoice, in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(l)(ii) or Section 4.5(a)(2)(iv) of the Base Indenture, as applicable; provided, however, that any amount of Increased Costs in excess of the Increased Costs Limit shall be payable to such Noteholder in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(l)(ix) or Section 4.5(a)(2)(iv) of the Base Indenture, as applicable.

(b) Increased Costs payable under this Section 8 shall be payable on a Payment Date only to the extent invoiced to the Indenture Trustee prior to the related Determination Date.

(c) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Increased Costs as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (c) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (c) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(d) Each Noteholder agrees that if any IRS form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such IRS form or certification or promptly notify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing of its legal inability to do so.
