Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Base Indenture, the Indenture Supplement, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, this Amendment serves as the written agreement, in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth herein, among the parties hereto as to the following:
(i) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Noteholder shall consider any alleged violation or non-compliance with laws or the Designated Servicing Agreements to constitute a Facility Early Amortization Event, Event of Default or event which with notice or passage of time would become an Event of Default, or Target Amortization Event (any such event, a “Facility Event”) unless such violation or non-compliance would have a material adverse effect on the collectability, timing of collection or value of receivables or the rights or interests of the Noteholders;

(iv) if a “judgment default” occurs with respect to OLS under Section 8.1(p) of the Base Indenture, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Noteholder will consider a Facility Event to have occurred solely as a result thereof;
(v) in reliance on the representations herein, if any Facility Event arises or is asserted under the Transaction Documents as a result of other Holders of Notes (other than the Upsized Notes) because of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iv) above or because of the specific allegations made in the letters from BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC (through its counsel, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxx LLP) to the Indenture Trustee, dated January 23, 2015 and February 20, 2015 (the “BlueMountain Letters”), the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders will allow a draw on the Series 2012-VF1 Notes up to any remaining capacity, to replace all Series of Term Notes that are in amortization due to such Facility Event, and if it has sufficient Notes to control amendments of the Base Indenture, the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders shall support an amendment to the Base Indenture to effect the changes described in clauses (i) through (iv) above and to waive the Facility Events because of the specific allegations made in the BlueMountain Letters;
(vii) the Administrator shall approve the transfer by “Permitted Refinancing” of any of the Designated Servicing Agreements under the Base Indenture to the HSART II Indenture if such transfer is in compliance with the Base Indenture and the PSA Migration Conditions; and
(viii) in connection with a Funding Request, the Administrative Agent and the Noteholder will not consider any Facility Event arising solely out of allegations made in the BlueMountain Letters a violation of Funding Conditions for a funding under the Series 2012-VF1 Notes or under other VFNs that will redeem all Term Notes issued under the Base Indenture, or after all such Term Notes have been redeemed, provided that the representations made in Section 17 of this Indenture Supplement remain true. Further, if (i) all Term Notes issued under the Base Indenture are refinanced and (ii) the representations made in Section 17 of this Indenture Supplement remain true, the
7
