(b) The Notes will be issued on the Series 2007-A Closing Date and the Series 2007-A Invested Amount may be increased on any Business Day during the Revolving Period pursuant to Section 2.2(a), provided, that each of the following conditions shall be met prior to such initial issuance and each proposed Increase:

(c) Upon receipt of the proceeds of such issuance or Increase, by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to, indicate in the Note Register the amount thereof.
(d) The Issuer shall not issue additional Notes of this Series. For this purpose, neither an Increase pursuant to Section 2.2(b) nor an amendment to this Series 2007-A Supplement to increase the Maximum Principal Amount shall constitute the issuance of additional Notes.

Upon such Voluntary Decrease, the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer shall reflect such Decrease in the next Series 2007-A Servicer Certificate.
(c) Principal Amortization. During the Rapid Amortization Period, principal will be allocated to the Series 2007-A Invested Amount (pursuant to Section 6.4) and paid to the Noteholders on a pro rata basis.
