On each Delivery Date, the notional balance of the Hedging Arrangement shall be in an amount equal to the Required Notional Amount and, in the case of a swap, not exceeding the Net Receivables Balance (including any Receivables to be added in connection with such Funding). The form, structure and counterparty to each Hedging Arrangement shall be acceptable to the Note Insurer (and which, unless such Hedging Agreement is a cap agreement, shall be submitted to the Note Insurer for its prior review) and must be in full force and effect at all times during which the Net Receivables Balance is greater than zero (however such required amount may be reduced for the period of time between the pricing and the funding of a structured financing utilizing receivables released to the Debtor pursuant to Section 2.16 hereof by the Aggregate Outstanding Balance of such Receivables). Any counterparty to a Hedging Arrangement shall have a long-term unsecured debt rating from Moody’s and S&P of at least “A2” and “A,” respectively.

Any Hedging Arrangement relating to a Receivables Delivery which is an interest rate cap agreement shall consist of the following requirements (each interest rate cap agreement meeting the following requirements, an “Interest Rate Cap” and collectively, the “Interest Rate Caps”): (i) any such counterparty thereto not rated at least “A” by S&P or “A2” by Moody’s shall be approved in writing by the Note Insurer, Moody’s and S&P; (ii) each Interest Rate Cap shall be documented in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Note Insurer; (iii) the strike rate of any Interest Rate Cap shall be set at a level that will not result in a Net Spread Deficiency; (iv) all amounts payable by the counterparty thereunder shall be required to be paid by such counterparty directly to the Collection Account; (v) the notional amount thereunder shall amortize according to the scheduled amortization of the Receivables funded on the related Delivery Date assuming zero prepayments and zero defaults with respect to such Receivables; (vi) the aggregate notional amount of such Hedging Arrangement together with all other Hedging Arrangements then in effect must equal the Required Notional Amount; (vii) such Hedging Arrangement must be in effect for at least as long as the latest maturing Receivables securing the Net Investment; and (viii) the Effective Date shall be no later than the Delivery Date.
