On each Payment Date, Series 2015-2 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 that Payment Date, times (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Interest Collections Shortfall for Series 2015-2 for that Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount

 

25

 

of Interest Collections Shortfalls for all Excess Interest Sharing Series in Excess Interest Sharing Group One for that Payment Date.

On each Payment Date, any net investment earnings on funds in those accounts will be deposited in the Collection Account and treated as Available Investor Interest Collections for that Payment Date.  The Indenture Trustee will bear no responsibility or liability for any losses resulting from investment or reinvestment of any funds in accordance with this Section 4.8 nor for the selection of Permitted Investments in accordance with this Indenture Supplement, the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreements.

Any investment instructions may be in the form of standing instructions given to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer.  If the Indenture Trustee receives the investment instructions later than that time, the Indenture Trustee may, but is not obligated to, make the investment.  If the Indenture Trustee is unable to make an investment required in any investment instructions received by the Indenture Trustee after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day, the investment will be made by the Indenture Trustee on the next Business Day.

(a)                                 The Class C and Class D Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any State securities law.  None of the Issuer, the Transferors or the Indenture Trustee is obligated to register the Class C or Class D Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities or “blue sky” laws or to take any other action not otherwise required under this Indenture Supplement to permit the transfer of any Class C or Class D Note without registration.  The Issuer, at the direction of the Transferors or the Administrator, may elect to register, or cause the registration of, the Class C and/or Class D Notes under the Securities Act and any applicable State securities law, in which case the Issuer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Indenture Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar opinions of counsel, Officer’s Certificates and other information as determined by the Transferors as necessary to effect the registration.

 

(b)                                 Until the Class C or Class D Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and any applicable State securities law under Section 5.2(a), no Class C or Class D Note may be sold, transferred, assigned, participated, pledged or otherwise disposed of (a “Note Transfer”) to any Person except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, and any attempted Note Transfer in violation of this Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 will be null and void (each, a “Void Note Transfer”).

 

(c)                                  Each Class C and Class D Note will bear a legend to the effect of the legend contained in Exhibit A unless determined otherwise by the Administrator (as certified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate) consistent with applicable law.

 

(d)                                 The Depositors will make available to the prospective transferor and transferee of a Class C or Class D Note information requested to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A (the “Rule 144A Information”).  The Rule 144A Information will include any or all of the following items requested by the prospective transferee:

 

(i)                                     the offering memorandum relating to the Class C Notes (if any) or Class D Notes (if any), as applicable, and any amendments or supplements to the offering memorandum;

 

(ii)                                  the Monthly Investor Report for each Payment Date prior to the request; and

(i)                                     either (A) it is not a Benefit Plan and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Benefit Plan or (B) its purchase, holding or disposition of a beneficial interest in the Series 2015-2 Notes does not constitute and will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code due to the

 

29

 

applicability of a statutory or administrative exemption from the prohibited transaction rules (or, if the Series 2015-2 Note Owner is subject to any Similar Law, the purchase, holding or disposition does not constitute and will not result in a violation of Similar Law); and

 

(ii)                                  it will treat the Series 2015-2 Notes for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness secured by the Trust Property.

 

(b)                                 Each Series 2015-2 Note Owner of a Class C or Class D Note (other than the Depositors or their Affiliates), by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Class C or Class D Note, specifically agrees with and represents to the Depositors, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar, that no Note Transfer will be made unless (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable State securities laws have been complied with in respect of that class in accordance with Section 5.02(a), (ii) the Note Transfer is to the Depositors or their Affiliates or (iii) the Note Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act because the Note Transfer is in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a transferee who the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the Note Transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

 

(c)                                  Until the Class C or Class D Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and any applicable State securities law under Section 5.2(a), each Series 2015-2 Note Owner of a Class C or Class D Note (other than the Depositors or their Affiliates), by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in the Class C or Class D Note, is deemed to represent, warrant and covenant to the Issuer, the Depositors and the Indenture Trustee that:

 

(i)                                     It understands that the Series 2015-2 Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any State or other applicable securities or “blue sky” law.

 

(ii)                                  It understands that Note Transfers are only permitted if made in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and only to a person that the holder reasonably believes is a QIB or to a Depositor or its Affiliates.

 

(iii)                               It (A) is a QIB, (B) is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and if it is acquiring the Series 2015-2 Notes or any interest or participation in the Series 2015-2 Notes for the account of another QIB, the other QIB is aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (C) is acquiring the Series 2015-2 Notes or any interest or participation in the Series 2015-2 Notes for its own account or for the account of another QIB.

 

(iv)                              It is purchasing the 2015-2 Notes for its own account or for one or more investor accounts for which it is acting as fiduciary or agent, in each case for investment, and not with a view to offer, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Series 2015-2 Notes in connection with any distribution of the Series 2015-2 Notes that would violate the Securities Act.

Section 5.4.                                 Amendments to Comply with Law Relating to Restricted Securities.  The Class C and Class D Notes and related documentation may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Indenture to modify the restrictions on, and procedures for, resales and other transfers of the Class C and Class D Notes to reflect any change in applicable law or regulation (or the interpretation thereof).

 SERIES 2015-2 AMORTIZATION EVENTS

 

Section 6.1.                                 Series 2015-2 Amortization Events.  If any of the following events occurs for the Series 2015-2 Notes:

 

(a)                                 failure by either Depositor (i) to make any payment or deposit required to be made under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement on or before the date occurring five Business Days after the date the payment or deposit is required to be made or (ii) to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Depositor in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement that has an Adverse Effect and continues for 60 days after the date on which notice of the failure, requiring the same to be remedied, has been given to the Depositor by the Indenture Trustee and continues to have an Adverse Effect for that 60-day period;

 

(b)                                 any representation or warranty made by either Depositor in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement, or any information contained in a computer file or other list required to be delivered by the Depositor under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or when delivered and has an Adverse Effect, which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for 60 days after the date on which notice of the failure, requiring the same to be remedied, has been given to the Depositor by the Indenture Trustee and continues to have an Adverse Effect for that 60-day period; provided, however, that a Series 2015-2 Amortization Event under this clause (b) will be deemed remedied if the Depositor has accepted reassignment of the related Receivable, or all of those Receivables, if applicable, during that period in accordance with the related Sale and Servicing Agreement;

 

(c)                                  a Servicer Termination Event that has an Adverse Effect;

 

(d)                                 the Note Balance of the Series 2015-2 Notes is not paid in full on the Expected Final Payment Date;

 

(e)                                  the average of the Monthly Principal Payment Rates for the three prior Collection Periods is less than 21%;

 

(f)                                   on any Determination Date, the Available Subordinated Amount for the next Payment Date will be less than the Required Subordinated Amount after giving effect to any payments to be made on that Payment Date, and continues unremedied for five Business Days after that Payment Date; provided that, for the purpose of determining whether a Series 2015-2

 

31

 

Amortization Event has occurred under this clause (f), any reduction of the Available Subordinated Amount resulting from reallocations of the Available Depositor Principal Collections to pay interest on the Series 2015-2 Notes if LIBOR is equal to or greater than the prime rate upon which interest on the receivables is calculated on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date will be considered a Series 2015-2 Amortization Event only if LIBOR remains equal to or greater than prime rate for the next 30 consecutive days following that LIBOR Determination Date;

 

(g)                                  the amounts in the Excess Funding Account exceed 30% of the sum of the “Adjusted Invested Amounts” of all Series for three consecutive Collection Periods, after giving effect to any payments to be made on each related Payment Date; or

 

(h)                                 the occurrence of an Event of Default for Series 2015-2 and an acceleration of the maturity of the Series 2015-2 Notes under Section 5.2 of the Indenture,

 

then, in the case of any event described in clauses (a) through (c) above that is continuing, after any applicable grace period, either the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Series 2015-2 Notes by notice to the Depositors and the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders of Series 2015-2 Notes) may declare that an Amortization Event for the Series 2015-2 Notes (a “Series 2015-2 Amortization Event”) has occurred as of the date of the notice, and, in the case of any event described in clauses (d) through (h) above, a Series 2015-2 Amortization Event, will occur without any notice or other action on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Series 2015-2 Noteholders immediately on the occurrence of the event.

 

ARTICLE VII
 SERIES FINAL MATURITY; FINAL PAYMENTS

 

Section 7.1.                                 Series Final Maturity.

 

(a)                                 The amount to be paid for Series 2015-2 in connection with a reassignment of the Sold Receivables under Section 2.3(c) or 6.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreements will be the Reassignment Amount for the first Payment Date following the Collection Period in which the reassignment obligation arises under the Sale and Servicing Agreements. For the Reassignment Amount deposited in the Collection Account under Section 2.3(c) or 6.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreements or the proceeds from any liquidation of Collateral allocable to Series 2015-2 under Section 5.6(c) of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will, (based on the information in the most recent Monthly Investor Report) on the related Payment Date, make payments or distributions of those amounts under Section 4.2.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture Supplement, the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreements, (i) all amounts distributed to the Note Paying Agent under Section 7.1(a) for payment to the Noteholders of the Series 2015-2 Notes will be deemed paid in full to the Noteholders the Series 2015-2 Notes on the date on which those funds are distributed to the Note Paying Agent under this Section 7.1(b) and will be deemed to be a final payment of the Series 2015-2 Notes and (ii) if the amounts available for final payment to the Noteholders of the Series 2015-2 Notes and to the Noteholders of any other Series on any

 

32

 

Payment Date are less than the amount required to be so paid, the available amounts will be allocated to each Series based on the respective amounts required to be paid to each Series on that Payment Date.

The holder of this Class [A-[    ]/B/C/D] Note, by its acceptance of this Class [A-[    ]/B/C/D] Note, and the owner of a beneficial interest in this Class [A-[    ]/B/C/D] Note, by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in this Class [A-[  ]/B/C/D] Note, covenant and agree that (a) they will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Depositors, or join in instituting against the Issuer or the Depositors, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement or any of the other related transaction documents and (b) if any Depositor becomes a debtor or debtor in possession in a case under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise subject to any insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, rehabilitation or other similar proceedings, any claim that the holders of the Notes of any Series may have at any time against the Issuer’s assets allocated in accordance with the Indenture to any Series unrelated to the Notes, and any claim that the holders of the Notes have at any time against the Depositors that they may seek to enforce against the Issuer’s assets allocated to any unrelated Series, will be subordinate to the payment in full (including post-petition interest) of the claims of the holders of any Notes of the unrelated Series and of the holders of any other notes, bonds, contracts or other obligations relating to the unrelated Series.

 

The holder of this Class [A-[    ]/B/C/D] Note, by acceptance of this Class [A-[    ]/B/C/D] Note, and each holder of a beneficial interest therein, agree to treat the Class [A-[    ]/B/C/D] Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer for applicable United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.

			Calculation of Losses.

			7.4     Indemnification Procedures.    
		

			
	
			
				 (a)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee’s failure to send or delay in sending a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or delay.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			In the event of the assertion of any third party Claim for which, by the terms hereof, an Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee and in 
		

		 

		

			13

		

 

		

			 

		

			respect of which the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to indemnify the Indemnitee for all of such Indemnitee’s Losses (subject to any applicable limitations in Section 7.3), the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, to assume the defense of same including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of the Indemnitee so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such third party Claim, it shall within thirty (30) days notify the Indemnitee in writing of its intent to do so.  Subject to Section 7.4(c), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remedial action with respect to any such Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnitee will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Claim, unless separate representation of the Indemnitee by counsel is reasonably necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case such representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such third-party Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Claim, the Indemnitee may assume control of such defense and in the event the Claim is determined to be a matter for which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including fees and expenses of counsel).

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Indemnifying Party will not be permitted to enter into any settlement or compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree, in each case, that  does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a binding, irrevocable, written release of the Indemnitee from all Liability,  provides for any admission of Liability on the part of the Indemnitee,  requires an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnitee,  imposes any continuing obligation on or requires any payment from the Indemnitee or  binds the Caliber Entities or any of their respective subsidiaries or any Indemnitee with respect to a Tax after the Closing.

			
	
			
				 (d)
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, an Indemnitee will not be permitted to enter into any settlement or compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree, including in cases where the Indemnittee has assumed control of the defense.

		
			7.5     No Reliance.

				 (b)
			No Party hereto nor any Affiliate of a Party hereto shall assert or threaten, and each Party hereto hereby waives, and shall cause such Affiliates to waive, any claim or other method of recovery, in contract, in tort or under applicable Law, against any Person that is not a Party hereto (or a successor to a Party hereto) relating to this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be enforced only against the named parties hereto.  All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto; and no past, present or future Affiliate of any party hereto, or any director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any such party or Affiliate (including any Person negotiating or executing this Agreement on behalf of a party hereto), unless party to this Agreement, shall have any Liability or obligation with respect to this Agreement or with respect to any claim or cause of action (whether in contract or tort) that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including a representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement).
