case may be, given by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider.  If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day.  If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing on a day that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing.

By paying to the Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested.


 


(g) A Special Termination Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the receipt by the Borrower of a Special Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 6.02, by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex VII, signed by a Responsible Officer of the

Section 2.04    Reductions or Termination of the Maximum Commitment.


 


(a) Automatic Reduction.  Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class A Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the Borrower); provided that on the first Regular Distribution Date, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to the then Required Amount.  The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider within two Business Days thereof.  The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.


 


(b) Termination.  Upon the making of any Provider Advance or Special Termination Advance or the making of or conversion to a Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder.


 


Section 2.05    Repayments of Interest Advances, the Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance.  Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance, the Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to (a) the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an “Unpaid Advance”) (if multiple Interest Advances are outstanding any such repayment to be applied in the order in which such Interest Advances have been made, starting with the earliest), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance as provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided that if (i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)); provided, further, that amounts in respect of a Special Termination Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A Certificates in accordance with Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such

withdrawal being an “Applied Special Termination Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; provided, further, that if, following the making of a Special Termination Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01, such Special Termination Advance shall thereafter be converted to and treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof and treated as an Applied Special Termination Advance for purposes of Section 2.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and, provided, further, that if, after making a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Special Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.02, any Unapplied Provider Advance shall be converted to and treated as a Special Termination Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof under the Intercreditor Agreement.  The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance, the Special Termination Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.


 


    Section 2.06    Repayments of Provider Advances.  (a)  Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class A Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.5(c), (d), (e) and (f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A Certificates in accordance with Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Downgrade Advance” and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an “Applied Non-Extension Advance” and, together with an Applied Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Provider Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the dates on which such interest is payable; provided, further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be converted to and treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof and treated as an Applied Downgrade Advance or Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for the purposes of Section 2.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to the amount of such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07 hereof.


 


    (b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance or an Applied Special Termination Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A

Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause “fourth” of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a “Replenishment Amount”) for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the amount of the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances or the Applied Special Termination Advance (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount (if multiple Applied Provider Advances are outstanding, such Replenishment Amount to be applied in the order in which such Applied Provider Advances have been made, starting with the earliest) and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances or of the Unapplied Special Termination Advance shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.


 


    (c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the replaced Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the replaced Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.


 


   Section 2.07  Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement.  In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof.  Amounts so paid to, and not required to be returned by, the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider to Liquidity Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder (or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as the Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate).


 


   Section 2.08  Book Entries.  The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances.


 


   Section 2.09  Payments from Available Funds Only.  All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 7.05 and 7.07, shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under Section 8.1 of the Participation Agreements and payments under the Fee Letter and Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.  The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts

[Revolving Credit Agreement (2010-1A)]












in respect of payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement.  Amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.


 


   Section 2.10  Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance.  No earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined).  Whether or not the Borrower has made such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower) and no later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the “Consent Period”), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date.  If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.


 


ARTICLE III






OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER


 


   Section 3.01  Increased Costs.  The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for any increased costs incurred by the Liquidity Provider which are attributable to its making or maintaining any Advances hereunder or its obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or the adoption or making after the date of this Agreement of any interpretations, directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including the Liquidity Provider under any U.S. federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court, central bank or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (a “Regulatory Change”), which:  (1) changes the basis of taxation of

BACK













[Revolving Credit Agreement (2010-1A)]












any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (other than Excluded Taxes); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with other liabilities of, the Liquidity Provider (including any such Advances or such obligation or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate or related definitions).  For the avoidance of doubt, any Regulatory Changes based on the consultative papers of The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision of December 2009 entitled “Strengthening the resilience of the banking sector” and “International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring”, in each case together with any amendments thereto (collectively, “Basel III”), will not be treated, for purposes of determining whether the Liquidity Provider is entitled to compensation under this Section 3.01, as having been adopted or having come into effect before the date hereof, and any such Regulatory Changes based on Basel III shall be determined to be adopted only when the national banking supervisory authorities, or other relevant administrative or legislative bodies having primary jurisdiction or regulatory authority over the Liquidity Provider, adopt any such Regulatory Changes based on Basel III in the primary jurisdiction of the Liquidity Provider.  The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Facility Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.


 


The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed under this Section.  Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate the Liquidity Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owed under this Section.


 


Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial Liquidity Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of Section 7.08 hereof).


 


       Section 3.02  Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Coverage.  If (1) the adoption, after the date hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity coverage, (2) any change, after the date hereof, in the interpretation or administration of any such law, rule or regulation by any central bank or other governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or (3) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation or bank controlling the Liquidity Provider with any applicable guideline or request of general applicability, issued after the date hereof, by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) that constitutes a change of the nature described in clause (2), has the effect of (x) requiring an increase in the amount of capital or liquid assets required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation or bank

controlling the Liquidity Provider, or (y) reducing the rate of return on assets or capital of the Liquidity Provider (or such corporation or bank) and such adoption, change or compliance, as the case may be, relates to a category of claims or assets that includes the Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder (including funded obligations) and other similar obligations, the Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, pay to the Liquidity Provider from time to time such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to compensate the Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase or reduction as shall be reasonably allocable to the Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, the adoption of any law, rule or regulation described in clause (1) of the first sentence of this Section 3.02, and the taking of any action described in clauses (2) and (3) of such sentence, that in each case is based on Basel III, will not be treated, for purposes of determining whether the Liquidity Provider (or any corporation or bank controlling the Liquidity Provider) is entitled to compensation under this Section 3.02, as having been adopted, come into effect, been issued or been taken before the date hereof, and any such law, rule or regulation and any of the actions described in clauses (2) and (3) of such sentence that is based on Basel III shall be determined to have been adopted, come into effect, been issued or been taken only when the central bank or other legislative or administrative governmental authorities in the primary jurisdiction of the Liquidity Provider (or any corporation or bank controlling the Liquidity Provider) adopt any such law, rule or regulation or take any such actions.  The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Facility Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.


 


The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed under this Section.  Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital or liquid assets required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable to the Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be conclusive evidence of the amounts owed under this Section, absent manifest error.


 


Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial Liquidity Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of Section 7.08 hereof).


 


       Section 3.03  Payments Free of Deductions.  (a)  All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed, excluding Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as “Non-Excluded Taxes” and each, individually, as a “Non-Excluded Tax”).  If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any

amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, (i) the Borrower shall within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Non-Excluded Taxes (and any additional Non-Excluded Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) the amounts so payable to the Liquidity Provider shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Liquidity Provider (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any other such amounts payable under this Agreement at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.  The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Facility Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.  From time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to the Borrower two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that the Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement.  Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Borrower shall furnish to the Liquidity Provider the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Non-Excluded Taxes applicable to such payment.


 


    (b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes.  If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made.  Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment.


 


    (c) If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes is reasonably available to the Borrower to establish that payments under this Agreement are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of) tax, the Borrower shall deliver to the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reduction as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes.


 


   Section 3.04  Payments.  The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due.  The Borrower shall make all such payments in lawful money of the United States of America, to the

Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account specified for the Liquidity Provider in Schedule B or to such other U.S. bank account as the Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct the Subordination Agent in writing.


 


        Section 3.05  Computations.  All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.


 


        Section 3.06  Payment on Non-Business Days.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder to the Liquidity Provider shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result.  If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.


 


        Section 3.07  Interest.  (a)  Subject to Section 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, the date on which the Class A Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been in effect.


 


    (b) Except as provided in clause (e) below, each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section.  Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third LIBOR Business Day following the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance.  Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance.

[Revolving Credit Agreement (2010-1A)]












    (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).


   


    (d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).


 


    (e) Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account plus the Applicable Margin for such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.


 


    (f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum until paid.


 


    (g) If at any time, the Liquidity Provider shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank lending market generally, the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for the current or the immediately succeeding Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Liquidity Provider (as conclusively certified by the Liquidity Provider, absent manifest error) of making or maintaining LIBOR Advances, the Liquidity Provider shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower (any such telephonic notice to be promptly confirmed in writing and transmitted by telecopier to the Borrower in accordance with Section 7.02).  If such notice is given, then the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances effective from the date of the Rate Determination Notice; provided that the Applicable Liquidity Rate in respect of such Base Rate Advances shall be increased by one percent (1.00%).  The Liquidity Provider shall withdraw a Rate Determination Notice given hereunder when the Liquidity Provider determines that the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice no longer apply to the Liquidity Provider, and the Base Rate Advances shall be converted to LIBOR Advances effective as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period after the date of such withdrawal.


 


    (h) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the “Applicable Liquidity Rate”.

Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI attached hereto (a “Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent”) delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall be substituted for the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.


 


        Section 3.09  Funding Loss Indemnification.  The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:


 


(1)           Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or


 


(2)           Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.


 


Calculation of all amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.09 shall be made as though the Liquidity Provider had actually funded the related LIBOR Advance through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to its LIBOR Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that the Liquidity Provider may fund any LIBOR Advance in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.09.


 


        Section 3.10  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Facility Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its Facility Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request.  The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Facility Office if making such change would avoid or cure the aforesaid illegality and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

[Revolving Credit Agreement (2010-1A)]












of the Participation Agreements, and the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.09, 7.05 and 7.07 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


 



       Section 7.06  Liability of the Liquidity Provider.  (a)  Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for:  (i) the use which may be made of the Advances or any acts or omissions of the Borrower or any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (iii) the making of Advances by the Liquidity Provider against delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other documents which do not comply with the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Liquidity Provider, and the Liquidity Provider shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any damages suffered by the Borrower which were the result of (A) the Liquidity Provider’s willful misconduct or negligence in determining whether documents presented hereunder comply with the terms hereof, or (B) any breach by the Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Liquidity Provider’s failure to make lawful payment hereunder after the delivery to it by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing strictly complying with the terms and conditions hereof.  In no event, however, shall the Liquidity Provider be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).




 


       (b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any respect for (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder, or (ii) any action, inaction or omission which may be taken by it in good faith, absent willful misconduct or gross negligence (in which event the extent of the Liquidity Provider’s potential liability to the Borrower shall be limited as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph), in connection with this Agreement or any Notice of Borrowing.


 



       Section 7.07  Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  The Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later date or dates on which the Liquidity Provider shall make demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for the Liquidity Provider) of the Liquidity Provider in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and any other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement and (B) on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the Liquidity Provider in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, (ii) the modification or amendment of, or supplement to, this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or such other documents which may be delivered in connection herewith or therewith (whether or not the same shall become effective) or any waiver or consent thereunder (whether or not the same shall be effective), (iii) the replacement of this Agreement by a Replacement Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(i) of the Intercreditor Agreement or (iv) any action or proceeding relating to any order, injunction, or other process or decree restraining or seeking to restrain the Liquidity Provider from paying any amount under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or otherwise affecting the application

of funds in the Class A Cash Collateral Account.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all recording, stamp and other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and such other documents, and agrees to hold the Liquidity Provider harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.


 



       Section 7.08  Binding Effect; Participations.  (a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08 and in Section 3.5(l) of the Intercreditor Agreement) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b).  The Liquidity Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its rights hereunder (including, without limitation, funded participations and participations in rights to receive interest payments hereunder) and under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons (other than Continental and its Affiliates) as the Liquidity Provider may in its sole discretion select, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b).  No such granting of participations by the Liquidity Provider, however, will relieve the Liquidity Provider of its obligations hereunder.  In connection with any participation or any proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider may disclose to the participant or the proposed participant any information that the Borrower is required to deliver or to disclose to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to this Agreement.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider’s source of funds may derive in part from its participants.  Accordingly, references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to determinations, reserve, capital adequacy and liquidity coverage requirements, increased costs, reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those of each of its participants that are banks (subject, in each case, to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly if the Liquidity Provider, rather than the participant, had held the interest participated).




 


      (b) If, pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Liquidity Provider sells any participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity (each, a “Transferee”), then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such participation, the Transferee shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) either (A) that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof or (B) that under applicable law and treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld with respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of this Agreement, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated, two copies of a properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Form W-9, as appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such Transferee’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax in respect to any and all payments to be made hereunder, and (iii) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a new Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Form W-9, as appropriate, (A) on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event

requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the case of a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Form W-9 that such Transferee is entitled to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement.  Unless the Borrower has received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by applicable law) indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold taxes as required by law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.


 


    (c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment.  No such assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.


 



       Section 7.09  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.




 



       Section 7.10  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.




 



       Section 7.11  Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of Immunity (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:




 


       (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof or thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts from any thereof;


 


       (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;


 


       (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 7.02 hereof,

or at such other address of which the Liquidity Provider shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and


 


       (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.


 


    (b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims.  The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider each warrant and represent that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel.  THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.


 


    (c) To the extent that the Liquidity Provider or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and whether under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (or any successor legislation) or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from suit or service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal or execution of a judgment, or immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, the Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere.


 



       Section 7.12  Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.




 



       Section 7.13  Entirety.  This Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to which the Liquidity Provider is a party constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements of such parties.




 



       Section 7.14  Headings.  Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.




 



       Section 7.15  Transfer.  The Liquidity Provider hereby acknowledges and consents to the Transfer contemplated by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.
