          (b) Each such Principal Balance Increase will be allocated to the Class A Note Principal
Balance and the Class B Note Principal Balance on a pro rata basis determined by reference to the
Class A Note Maximum Principal Balance and the Class B Note Maximum Principal Balance; provided,
however, that if the Increase Condition set forth in clause (f)(ii) of the definition of Increase
Condition is not satisfied, the Transferor may, with the prior written consent of each Class B
Noteholder, direct the Indenture Trustee in writing, with a copy to each Agent, to allocate to the
Class B Note Principal Balance a larger share of the Principal Balance Increase to the extent
necessary to satisfy the Increase Condition set forth in clause (f)(i) of the definition of
Increase Condition.




          (c) On the Increase Date for such Principal Balance Increase, after satisfaction of all
conditions to such Principal Balance Increase, each Purchaser shall initiate the remittance of such
Increase Amount allocated to it in accordance with Section 4.09(b), to the extent it has otherwise
agreed or committed to fund such Principal Balance Increase, no later than 4:00 p.m., Chicago City
time, in same day funds in accordance with the payment instructions specified in the Principal
Balance Increase Request, and upon such remittance the outstanding Class A Note Principal Balance
and the Class B Note Principal Balance, as the case may be, shall be increased by the amount of
such remittance. Concurrently with the making of such Principal Balance Increase, the Transferor
and the Requisite Agent shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a Principal

2007-A Notes; provided, however, that any Note Assignment shall be void unless (i) the minimum

Assignment to a Person other than either



29









 








Agent, any Purchaser or any other Person specified in Section 11.03(c) of the Class A Note
Purchase Agreement, the assignor Series 2007-A Noteholder shall request in writing to the Indenture
Trustee (who shall promptly deliver it to the Transferor) for the consent of the Transferor (the
Transferor shall respond to any such request within ten Business Days after its receipt and the
Transferor will not unreasonably withhold such consent) it being understood that the obtaining of
such consent is a condition to the effectiveness of such Note Assignment. Each assignee Series
2007-A Noteholder is subject to the terms and conditions of Section 8.07(b) on an ongoing basis and
hereby makes the certifications, representations and warranties contained therein, and the
assigning Series 2007-A Noteholder hereby certifies, represents and warrants that its assignee’s
certifications, representations and warranties thereunder are true.



     (e) Each Series 2007-A Noteholder, by its holding an interest in the Series 2007-A Notes,
hereby severally represents, warrants and covenants, and each Series 2007-A Noteholder that
acquires an interest in the Series 2007-A Notes by Note Assignment shall be deemed to have
severally represented, warranted and covenanted upon such Note Assignment that (i) it intends to
treat the Series 2007-A Notes for all federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as
indebtedness and (ii) (A) it has neither acquired, nor will it sell, trade or transfer any interest
in the Series 2007-A Notes or cause any interest in the Series 2007-A Notes to be marketed on or

market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704(b)(2),
including a market wherein interests in the Series 2007-A Notes are regularly quoted by any Person
making a market in such interests and a market wherein any Person regularly makes available to the
public bid or offer quotes with respect to interests in the Series 2007-A Notes and stands ready to
effect buy or sell transactions at the quoted prices for itself or on behalf of others and (B)
unless the Transferor consents otherwise (which consent shall be based on an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the action taken pursuant to the consent will not cause the Trust to become a
publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation), such holder (1) is properly classified as,
and will remain classified as, a “corporation” as described in Code Section 7701(a)(3) and (2) is
not, and will not become, an S corporation as described in Code Section 1361. Each such Series
2007-A Noteholder shall further agree in connection with its acquisition of such interest that, in
the event of any breach of its representation and covenant that it is and shall remain classified
as a corporation other than an S corporation, the Transferor shall have the right to procure a
replacement investor to replace such Series 2007-A Noteholder, and further that such Series 2007-A
Noteholder shall take all actions necessary to permit such replacement investor to succeed to its
rights and obligations as a Series 2007-A Noteholder.



     (f) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.02, any Series 2007-A Noteholder may at any time
grant a participation in all or part (but not less than $5,000,000) of its interest in the Series
2007-A Notes to (i) either Agent, the Purchaser or any other Person specified in Section 11.03(c)
of the Class A Note Purchase Agreement, or (ii) any other Person to which the Transferor may
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (the Agents, the Purchaser and each such
other Person, a “Participant” and each Participant acquiring a participation in less than all of a
Series 2007-A Noteholder’s rights with respect to payments due thereunder, a “Partial
Participant”); provided, however, that such participation shall be void,



30









 







unless (i) such Participant complies with the applicable provisions of this Section 8.08, (ii)
there shall not be, in the aggregate, more than five (5) Class A Noteholders and Partial
Participants and five (5) Class B Noteholders and Partial Participants after giving effect to such
participation, and (iii) such Series 2007-A Noteholder delivers to the Indenture Trustee, prior to
the effectiveness of its participation, a copy of an agreement under which such Participant has
made the representations, warranties and covenants required to be made pursuant to this Section.
In connection with the granting of any such participation to any Person other than to either Agent,
the Purchaser or any other Person specified in Section 11.03(c) of the Class A Note Purchase
Agreement, the granting Series 2007-A Noteholder shall provide a written request to the Indenture
Trustee (who shall promptly deliver it to the Transferor) for the consent of the Transferor to the
granting of the specified interest to any identified prospective Participant, the Transferor shall
respond to any such request within ten Business Days after its receipt, it being understood that
the obtaining of such consent is a condition to the effectiveness of such a participation. Each

shall be based on an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the action taken pursuant to the
consent will not cause the Trust to become a publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation),
such holder (1) is properly classified as, and will remain classified as, a “corporation” as
described in Code Section 7701(a)(3) and (2) is not, and will not become, an S corporation as

representation and covenant that it (or its participant) is and shall remain classified as a
corporation other than an S corporation, the Transferor shall have the right to procure a
replacement investor to replace such Series 2007-A Noteholder (or its participant), and further
that such Series 2007-A Noteholder shall take all actions necessary to permit such replacement
investor to succeed to its rights and obligations as a Series 2007-A Noteholder (or to the rights

right to receive certain payments from the Issuer. The Class A Notes are subject to all of the

the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency
between the Indenture and this Note, the Indenture shall control. The Class B Notes will also be
issued under the Indenture.



     The Noteholder, by its acceptance of this Class A Note, agrees that it will look solely to the

evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Indenture Trustee.

Noteholders on or prior to such date.
