The Servicer shall allocate to the Series 2012-A Noteholders an amount equal to the product of (A) the Allocation Percentage and (B) the aggregate Finance Charge Collections processed on such Date of Processing and shall deposit such amount into the Finance Charge Account, provided that, with respect to each Monthly Period falling in the Revolving Period (and with respect to that portion of each Monthly Period in the Controlled Accumulation Period falling on or after the day on which Collections of Principal Receivables equal to the related Controlled Deposit Amount have been allocated pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(ii) and deposited pursuant to Section 4.1(c)), Collections of Finance Charge Receivables shall be transferred into the Finance Charge Account only until such time as the aggregate amount so deposited equals the sum (the “Target Amount”) of (A) the Monthly Interest for the related Distribution Date, (B) if WFN is not the Servicer, the Noteholder Servicing Fee (and if WFN is the Servicer, then amounts that otherwise would have been transferred into the Finance Charge Account pursuant to this clause (B) shall instead be returned to WFN as payment of the Noteholder Servicing Fee), (C) any amount required to be deposited in the Reserve Account and the Spread Account on the related Transfer Date and (D) the sum of 150% of the Investor Default Amounts from the prior Monthly Period and any Investor Uncovered Dilution Amounts from the prior Monthly Period; provided further, that, notwithstanding the preceding proviso, if on any Business Day the Servicer determines that the Target Amount for a Monthly Period exceeds the Target Amount for that Monthly Period as previously calculated by Servicer, then (x) Servicer shall (on the same Business Day) inform Transferor of such determination, and (y) within two Business Days of receiving such notice Transferor shall deposit into the Finance Charge Account funds in an amount equal to the amount of Collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocated to the Noteholders for that Monthly Period but not deposited into the Finance Charge Account due to the operation of the preceding proviso (but not in excess of the amount required so that the aggregate amount deposited for the subject Monthly Period equals the Target Amount); and provided, further, if on any Transfer Date the Transferor Amount is less than the Specified Transferor Amount after giving effect to all transfers and deposits on that Transfer Date, Transferor shall, on that Transfer Date, deposit into the Principal Account funds in an amount equal to the amounts of Available Finance Charge Collections that are required to be treated as Available Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(vi) and (vii) but are not available from funds in the Finance Charge Account as a result of the operation of the second preceding proviso.


 


With respect to any Monthly Period when deposits of Collections of Finance Charge Receivables into the Finance Charge Account are limited to deposits up to the Target Amount in accordance with clause (i) above, notwithstanding such limitation: (1) “Reallocated Principal Collections” for the related Transfer Date shall be calculated as if the full amount of Finance Charge Collections allocated to the Noteholders during that Monthly Period had been deposited in the Finance Charge Account and applied on such Transfer Date in accordance with Section 4.4(a); and (2) Collections of Finance Charge Receivables released to Transferor pursuant to such Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be deemed, for purposes of all calculations under this Indenture Supplement, to have been retained in the Finance Charge Account and applied to the items specified in Sections 4.4(a) to which such amounts would have been applied (and in the priority in which they would have been applied) had such amounts been available in the Finance Charge Account on such Transfer Date.  To avoid doubt, the calculations referred to in the preceding clause (2) include the calculations required by clause (d) of the definition of Collateral Amount and by the definition of Portfolio Yield.

The Reserve Account shall thereafter be automatically terminated for purposes of this Indenture Supplement.

Such property shall constitute part of the Trust Estate for all purposes of the Indenture.  The foregoing transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of any obligation of the Issuer or any other Person in connection with a Qualified Maturity Agreement or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto.


 


The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges its acceptance, to the extent validly transferred, assigned, set-over or otherwise conveyed to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2012-A Noteholders, of all of the rights previously held by the Issuer under any Qualified Maturity Agreement obtained by the Issuer and all proceeds thereof, and declares that it shall hold such rights upon the trust set forth herein and in the Agreement, and subject to the terms hereof and thereof, for the benefit of the Series 2012-A Noteholders.

The amounts so deposited shall be applied on the Expected Principal Payment Date pursuant to Section 4.4(c) as if the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period had not been suspended.


 


(c)           Each Qualified Maturity Agreement shall terminate at the close of business on the Expected Principal Payment Date; provided, however, that the Issuer shall terminate a Qualified Maturity Agreement prior to such Distribution Date, with notice to each Rating Agency, if (i) the Available Reserve Account Amount equals the Required Reserve Account Amount and (ii) one of the following events occurs: (A) the Issuer obtains a substitute Qualified Maturity Agreement, (B) the provider of the Qualified Maturity Agreement ceases to qualify as an Eligible Institution and the Issuer is unable to obtain a substitute Qualified Maturity Agreement or (C) an Early Amortization Event occurs.  In the event that the provider of a Qualified Maturity Agreement ceases to qualify as an Eligible Institution, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to obtain a substitute Qualified Maturity Agreement.


 


(d)           If a Qualified Maturity Agreement is terminated prior to the earlier of the Expected Principal Payment Date and the commencement of the Early Amortization Period and the Issuer does not obtain a substitute Qualified Maturity Agreement, the Controlled Accumulation Period shall commence on the latest of (i) the beginning of business on March 1, 2018, (ii) the date to which the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period is postponed pursuant to Section 4.l3 (as determined on the date of such termination) and (iii) the first day of the Monthly Period following the date of such termination.
