(e)                                  If Available Investor Principal Collections for any Payment Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period are insufficient to deposit the amount required pursuant to Section 4.2(c)(i), as long as the Indenture Trustee has received the Monthly Investor Report by the related Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee (based on the information in the Monthly Investor Report) will, on such Payment Date, deposit into the Series 20    -   Principal Funding Account Available Depositor Interest Collections and Available Depositor Principal Collections (with respect to Available Depositor Principal Collections, in an amount not to exceed the Available Subordinated Amount) on such Payment Date in an amount equal to the excess of the Adjusted Invested Amount over the sum of the amounts deposited into the Series 20    -   Principal Funding Account from Available Investor Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.2(c)(i) and from the Excess Funding Account pursuant to Section 4.2(d).

 

(f)                                   So long as an Early Amortization Period has not begun, on the Expected Final Payment Date, or on each Payment Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period, as long as the Indenture Trustee has received the Monthly Investor Report by the related Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee (based on the information in the Monthly Investor Report) will withdraw an amount up to the aggregate Note Balance of Series 20    -   from the Series 20    -   Principal Funding Account for payment in the following order of priority: (i) to the Noteholders of Class A Notes, pro rata based upon the principal amount of each class of Class A Notes, until the Note Balance of the Class A Notes is reduced to zero, (ii) to the Noteholders of Class B Notes until the Note Balance of the Class B Notes is reduced to zero, (iii) to the Noteholders of the Class C Notes until the Note Balance of the Class C Notes is reduced to zero and (iv) to the Noteholders of the Class D Notes until the Note Balance of the Class D Notes is reduced to zero.

 

(g)                                  The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to begin on the first day of the                  20     Collection Period.  However, if the Accumulation Period Length is less than six Collection Periods, the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually begins will be delayed to the first day of the Collection Period that is the number of Collection Periods before the Expected Final Payment Date at least equal to the Accumulation Period Length.  On or before each Determination Date beginning with the Determination Date in the                    20     Collection Period and ending when the Controlled Accumulation Period begins, the Servicer will determine the “Accumulation Period Length.”

If the Investor Default Amount for any Payment Date exceeds the sum of the amounts applied to fund such Investor Default Amount pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(vii) (including any amounts applied pursuant to Section 4.2(b)), then such excess will be applied in the following order of priority to reduce (a) the Available Subordinated Amount for the related Determination Date (after giving effect to any reductions of the Available Subordinated Amount pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(ii)), (b) the Class D Invested Amount, (c) the Class C Invested Amount, (d) the Class B Invested Amount, and (e) the remaining Invested Amount.

 

Section 4.4.                                 Reallocated Principal Collections.  On each Payment Date, the Reallocated Principal Collections for such Payment Date will be applied in the following order of priority to reduce (a) the Available Subordinated Amount (after giving effect to any reductions of the Available Subordinated Amount pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(ii) and Section 4.3), (b) the Class D Invested Amount, (c) the Class C Invested Amount, and (d) the Class B Invested Amount.

 

Section 4.5.                                 Excess Interest Collections.  On each Payment Date, Series 20    -   will be allocated an amount equal to the product of (a) the aggregate amount of Excess Interest Collections for all Excess Interest Sharing Series in Excess Interest Sharing Group One for such Payment Date, times (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Interest Collections Shortfall for Series 20    -   for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Interest Collections Shortfalls for all Excess Interest Sharing Series in Excess Interest Sharing Group One for such Payment Date.

 

Section 4.6.                                 Shared Principal Collections.  On each Payment Date, Series 20    -   will be allocated an amount equal to the product of (a) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections with respect to all Principal Sharing Series in Principal Sharing Group One for such Payment Date, times (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Principal Shortfall for Series 20    -   for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Principal Sharing Series in Principal Sharing Group One for such Payment Date.

 

Section 4.7.                                 Series 20    -   Accounts.

Subject to the terms of the Interest Rate Hedge, the Series 20    -   Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account will be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee, or its agent appointed pursuant to the Interest Rate Hedge, as custodian.]

 

(d)                                 Each Series 20    -   Account will be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee, except that the Servicer may make deposits into and direct the Note Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals from each such Series 20    -   Account in accordance with this Indenture Supplement.

The Notes are subject to all of the terms of the Series Agreement.  All terms used in this Class [A-[    ]/B/C/D] Note that are defined in the Series Agreement have the meanings specified in the Series Agreement.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Series Agreement and this Class [A-[    ]/B/C/D] Note, the Series Agreement controls.
