Any associated Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amounts incurred as a result of such decrease (calculated in accordance with the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement) shall be deposited in the Collection Account for allocation pursuant to the Priority of Payments.  It shall be a condition to any Voluntary Decrease that the amount on deposit in the Collection Account is sufficient to pay the Trustee, the Servicer and the Manager, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Advances and Manager Advances (in each case, with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate), if any, on the Weekly Allocation Date immediately following such Voluntary Decrease.

From and after the Series 2018-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, if the Series 2018-1 Final Payment has not been made on the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes, then additional interest (the “Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest”) will accrue on the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount at an interest rate equal to the rate determined by the Manager to be the greater of (I) 5.0% per annum and (II) a per annum rate equal to the amount, if any, by which the sum of the following exceeds the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Note Rate: (A) the yield to maturity (adjusted to a quarterly bond-equivalent basis) on the Series 2018-1 Anticipated Repayment Date of the United States Treasury Security having a term closest to 10 years, plus (B) 5.0%, plus (C) 1.814% (the “Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest Rate”).  In addition, regular interest will continue to accrue at the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Note Rate from and after the Series 2018-1 Anticipated Repayment Date.  
(ii)    Payment of Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest.  Amounts accrued in respect of Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest will be due and payable on any applicable Quarterly Payment Date as and when amounts are made available for payment thereof (I) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (II) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture, in the amount so available.  The failure to pay any Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest in excess of available amounts in accordance with the foregoing (including on the Series 2018-1 Legal Final Maturity Date) will not be an Event of Default and interest will not accrue on any unpaid portion thereof; provided that in any event all accrued but unpaid Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest shall be due and payable in full on the Series 2018-1 Legal Final Maturity Date, on any Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date with respect to a prepayment in full of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes or otherwise as part of any Series 2018-1 Final Payment.

It shall be a condition to the effectiveness of the Series 2018-1 Extension Elections that, in the case of the Series 2018-1 First Extension Election, on the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in December 2021 or, in the case of the Series 2018-1 Second Extension Election, on the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in December 2022, that (a) the DSCR is greater than or equal to 2.25:1.00 (calculated as of the most recent Quarterly Calculation Date), (b) the rating assigned to the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Notes by the Rating Agency has not 


8







been downgraded below “BBB” (or the structured finance equivalent) or withdrawn and (c) all Class A-1 Extension Fees shall have been paid on or prior to such Quarterly Payment Date.  Any notice given pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(i) or (ii) shall be irrevocable; provided that if the conditions set forth in this Section 3.6(b)(iii) are not met as of the applicable extension date, the election set forth in such notice shall automatically be deemed ineffective; provided that if, notwithstanding the notice certifying the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Section 3.6(b)(iii) for any extension, the conditions set forth in this Section 3.6(b)(iii) are not met as of the applicable extension date, the election set forth in such notice shall automatically be deemed ineffective and such extension shall automatically be deemed null and of no force and effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, no consent of the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, any Noteholder or any other Secured Party shall be necessary for the effectiveness of the Series 2018-1 First Extension Election or the Series 2018-1 Second Extension Election.

Such payments shall be ratably allocated among the Series 2018-1 Noteholders within 


9







each applicable Class based on their respective portion of the Series 2018-1 Outstanding Principal Amount of such Class (or, in the case of the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Noteholders, in accordance with the order of distribution of principal payments set forth in Section 4.02 of the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement).  
(ii)    If the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Notes shall not have been repaid in full or otherwise refinanced in full (which refinancing may also include an extension thereof) on or before the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date (after giving effect to extensions), principal payments shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Payment Date on the applicable Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Notes as and when amounts are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture, in the amount so available.  Such payments shall be allocated among the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Noteholders, in accordance with the order of distribution of principal payments set forth in Section 4.02 of the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement.

(i)    the amount on deposit in the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account, together with the amount on deposit in the Senior Notes Principal Payment Account that is allocable to the Tranche or Tranches of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes to be prepaid is sufficient to pay the principal amount of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes to be prepaid and any Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment 


10







Consideration required pursuant to Section 3.6(e), in each case, payable on the relevant Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date;
(ii)    in the case of a prepayment of any Tranche of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes in part, the amounts on deposit in, or allocable to, the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account to be distributed on the Quarterly Payment Date which coincides with such Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date are sufficient to pay the Prepayment Condition Amounts on such Quarterly Payment Date;
(iii)    in the case of an optional prepayment of all of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes in whole:
(A)    the amounts on deposit in the Indenture Trust Accounts or other available amounts, in each case allocable to the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes, are sufficient to pay all monetary Obligations in respect of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes set forth in Section 5.11 of the Base Indenture after giving effect to the allocations set forth therein on such Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date pursuant to Section 3.6(k), and 
(B)    the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, the Indenture Trust Accounts or otherwise available are reasonably expected by the Manager to be sufficient to pay the Prepayment Condition Amounts, other than with respect to the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes, on the immediately following Quarterly Payment Date, if any, or are sufficient to pay such amounts on such Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date, if such date is a Quarterly Payment Date,
or, in each case, any shortfalls in such amounts have been deposited to the applicable accounts.
The Issuer may prepay the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes in full at any time regardless of the number of prior optional prepayments or any minimum payment requirement.
(g)    Notices of Prepayments.  The Issuer shall give prior written notice (each, a “Prepayment Notice”) at least fifteen (15) Business Days but not more than twenty (20) Business Days prior to any Series 2018-1 Prepayment with respect to the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes pursuant to Section 3.6(f) to each Series 2018-1 Noteholder affected by such Series 2018-1 Prepayment, the Rating Agency, the Servicer, the Control Party and the Trustee; provided that at the request of the Issuer, such notice to the affected Series 2018-1 Noteholders shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.  In connection with any such Prepayment Notice, the Issuer shall provide a written report to the Trustee directing the Trustee to distribute such prepayment in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.6(k).  With respect to each such Series 2018-1 Prepayment, the related Prepayment Notice shall, in each case, specify (A) the Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date on which such prepayment will be made, which in all cases shall be a Business Day, (B) the Series 2018-1 Prepayment Amount and (C) the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration Calculation Date on which the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration, if any, to be paid in connection therewith will be calculated.  The Issuer shall have the option, by written notice to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Rating Agency and the affected Noteholders, to withdraw, or amend the Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date set forth in any Prepayment Notice relating to an optional prepayment at 


11







any time up to the second (2nd) Business Day before the Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date set forth in such Prepayment Notice.  Any such optional prepayment and Prepayment Notice may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control.  The Issuer shall have the option to provide in any Prepayment Notice that the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 3.6(f) and the performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such optional prepayment may be performed by another Person.  All Prepayment Notices shall be (i) transmitted by email to (A) each affected Series 2018-1 Noteholder to the extent such Series 2018-1 Noteholder has provided an email address to the Trustee and (B) to the Rating Agency, the Servicer and the Trustee and (ii) sent by registered mail to each affected Series 2018-1 Noteholder.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Voluntary Decrease or a Subfacility Decrease in respect of the Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Notes is governed by Section 2.2 and not by this Section 3.6.  A Prepayment Notice may be revoked by the Issuer if the Trustee receives written notice of such revocation no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to such Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date.  The Issuer shall give written notice of such revocation to the Servicer, and at the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall forward the notice of revocation to the Series 2018-1 Noteholders.

In connection with any prepayment made with Indemnification Amounts or Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to this Section 3.6(j), the Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration.  The Issuer shall, however, be obligated to pay any applicable Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.6(e) in connection with any prepayment made with Asset Disposition Proceeds pursuant to this Section 3.6(j); provided, for avoidance of doubt, that it shall not constitute an Event of Default if any such Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration is not paid because insufficient 


12







funds are available to pay such Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration, in accordance with the Priority of Payments.
(j)    Distributions of Optional Prepayments of Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes.

If the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes are paid in whole on a Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date that is not a Quarterly Payment Date, the applicable written report provided to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.6(g) shall instruct the Trustee to (A) first, withdraw the amount on deposit in the Collection Account on such Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date for allocation or payment in accordance with Section 5.11 of the Base Indenture (other than with respect to any Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount pursuant to priority (ix) of the Priority of Payments); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, for the purpose of such allocation or payment (i) only the applicable Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes shall be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) any unpaid Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Interest Amount shall be due and payable only with respect to the period beginning on the first day of the most recent Interest Accrual Period and ending on such Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date, (iii) references to “Weekly Allocation Date” shall be deemed to refer to such Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date and (iv) any Obligations not allocable to a particular Series, Class or Tranche of Notes shall only be due and payable in the amount allocated ratably to the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes by the Manager based on the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes relative to the Outstanding Principal Amount on such Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date; provided that any unreimbursed Advances (and interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate) shall be due and payable in full, and (B) second, distribute to the applicable Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Noteholders of record on the preceding Prepayment Record Date on a pro rata basis, based on their respective portion of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount, the amounts on deposit in the Indenture Trust Accounts or other available amounts, in each case allocable to the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes.

The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Servicer and the Rating Agency on or before the Prepayment Record Date preceding the Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date that will be the Series 2018-1 Final Payment Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Series 2018-1 Final Payment that is made in connection with any mandatory or optional prepayment in full, the Issuer shall not be obligated to provide any additional notice to the Trustee or the Rating Agency of such Series 2018-1 Final Payment beyond the notice required to be given in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 


13







3.6(g). The Trustee shall provide any written notice required under this Section 3.6(l) to each Person in whose name a Series 2018-1 Note is registered at the close of business on such Prepayment Record Date of the Series 2018-1 Prepayment Date that will be the Series 2018-1 Final Payment Date.
