Such substitution shall be effected prior to the first Determination Date that occurs more than 90 days after the Originator becomes aware, or receives written notice from the Indenture Trustee or the Note Insurer, of the breach referred to in this Section 3.7. Promptly after any substitution of a Contract, the Originator shall give written notice of such substitution to each Rating Agency and the Note Insurer.
