Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Indenture or the Indenture Supplement, as applicable.
WHEREAS, Section 12.2 of the Indenture provides, among other things, that subject to the terms and provisions of each Indenture Supplement with respect to any amendment of such Indenture Supplement, the parties to the Indenture may at any time enter into an amendment to the Indenture, including any Indenture Supplement, with prior notice to the Note Rating Agency and the consent of Holders of more than 50% (by Class Invested Amount) of each Series or Class of Notes affected by such amendment of the Indenture, including any Indenture Supplement, for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture, of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each such Series or Class under the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, upon delivery of an Issuer Tax Opinion (unless the Noteholders unanimously consent to waive such opinion); provided, however, that no such amendment will modify any of the enumerated provisions set forth in Section 12.2 without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;
WHEREAS, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “VF2 Noteholder”) owns 100% of the Class A-VF2 Variable Funding Notes, the Class B-VF2 Variable Funding Notes, the Class C-VF2 Variable Funding Notes and the Class D-VF2 Variable Funding Notes, which are the only Outstanding Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture Supplement;
WHEREAS, Section 12.3 of the Indenture provides that the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by the Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied (the “Authorization Opinion”); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Indenture Supplement as described below;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
Section 1.Amendment.
(b) Section 2 of the Indenture Supplement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions:
““Collateral Test Rectification Event”: means, if an OLS Ratings Downgrade Event has occurred, and if a Collateral Test would not be satisfied for all Series as a whole as of the close of business on the last day of the Monthly Advance Collection Period preceding the upcoming Payment Date or the Advance Collection Period preceding the upcoming Interim Payment Date, that an amount has been paid to the Variable Funding Notes or otherwise posted to the Trust Accounts (other than the General Reserve Account) on such date (after giving effect to any required payments on such date, if any) equal to the positive difference, if any, between, for all Outstanding Series of Notes, (i) the sum of the Series Invested Amount for such Series on such date (after giving effect to any required payments on such date, if any) and (ii) the product of (A) the Series Allocation Percentage for such Series and (B) (1) the aggregate Receivable Balances of all Receivables under all Designated Servicing Agreements plus (2) all Collections on deposit in the Trust Accounts (other than the General Reserve Account) on such date (after giving effect to any required payments on such date, if any); provided, however, that for the purposes of such calculation it shall be assumed that no Downgrade Advance Rate Reduction has occurred with respect to each Series of Variable Funding Notes.”
““OLS Ratings Downgrade Event”: means a downgrade by S&P or any other Note Rating Agency rating the Series 2012-VF2 Notes of the Servicer’s (prior to any MSR Transfer Date) or the related Subservicer’s (on and after any MSR Transfer Date) sub-prime servicer rating below “Average” (regardless of whether such Servicer or Subservicer has been placed on negative watch by any such Note Rating Agency).”
(c) Section 2 of the Indenture Supplement is hereby amended by deleting the first paragraph of the definition of “Advance Rates” in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
““Advance Rates”: means, for any date of determination with respect to each Receivable and any Class of Series 2012-VF2 Notes, the percentage amount based on the Advance Type of such Receivable, as set forth below; provided, that in the event of an OLS Ratings Downgrade Event, the Advance Rates applicable to the Receivables related to such Class of Notes shall be equal to the Advance Rates prior to such OLS Ratings Downgrade Event minus 5.00% (such reduction, a “Downgrade Advance Rate Reduction”); provided, however, that, following such a Downgrade Advance Rate Reduction, if (1) (a) a Collateral Test Rectification Event has occurred and (b) the Monthly Reimbursement Rate is greater
2
than 9.00%, or (2) an upgrade by S&P and any other Note Rating Agency rating the Series 2012-VF2 Notes of the Servicer’s (prior to any MSR Transfer Date) and the related Subservicer’s (on and after any MSR Transfer Date) sub-prime servicer rating to “Average” or higher occurs, then the Advance Rates applicable to the Receivables related to such Class of Notes shall be equal to the Advance Rates after giving effect to such Downgrade Advance Rate Reduction plus 5.00%; and provided, further, that the Advance Rate for any Receivable related to any Class of Notes shall be zero if such Receivable is not a Facility Eligible Receivable.”
Section 2. Waiver of Issuer Tax Opinion.
Pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Base Indenture, the VF2 Noteholder hereby waives and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee to waive the provisions of Section 12.2 of the Base Indenture which requires delivery of an Issuer Tax Opinion with respect to this Amendment.
Section 3. Conditions to Effectiveness of this Amendment.
