With respect to any Monthly Period when deposits of Collections of Finance Charge Receivables into the Finance Charge Account are limited to deposits up to the Target Amount in accordance with clause (i) above, notwithstanding such limitation: (1) “Reallocated Principal Collections” for the related Transfer Date shall be calculated as if the full amount of Finance Charge Collections allocated to the Noteholders during that Monthly Period had been deposited in the Finance Charge Account and applied on the related Payment Date in accordance with Section 4.4(a); and (2) Collections of Finance Charge Receivables released to Transferor pursuant to clause (i) above shall be deemed, for purposes of all calculations under this Indenture Supplement, to have been applied to the items specified in Section 4.4(a) to which such amounts would have been applied (and in the priority in which they would have been applied) had such amounts been available in the Finance Charge Account on the related Payment Date. To avoid doubt, the calculations referred to in the preceding clause (2) include the calculations required by clause (b)(iv) of the definition of Collateral Amount.
(ii) Allocations of Principal Collections. The Issuer shall allocate to the Series 2007-1 Noteholders the following amounts as set forth below:
(x) Allocations During the Revolving Period.
(1) During the Revolving Period an amount equal to the product of the Allocation Percentage and the aggregate amount of Principal Collections processed on such Date of Processing, shall be allocated to the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and first, if any other Principal Sharing Series is outstanding and in its accumulation period or amortization period, retained in the Principal Account for application, to the extent necessary, as Shared Principal Collections to other Principal Sharing Series on the related Payment Date, second deposited in the Excess Funding Account to the extent necessary so that the Free Equity Amount is not less than the Minimum Free Equity Amount and third paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest.
(2) With respect to each Monthly Period falling in the Revolving Period, to the extent that Collections of Principal Receivables allocated to the Series 2007-1 Noteholders pursuant to this Section 4.3(b)(ii) are paid to Transferor, the Issuer shall cause Transferor to make an amount equal to the Reallocated Principal Collections for the related Transfer Date
21
available on that Transfer Date for application in accordance with Section 4.7.
(y) Allocations During the Controlled Accumulation Period. During the Controlled Accumulation Period an amount equal to the product of the Allocation Percentage and the aggregate amount of Principal Collections processed on such Date of Processing (the product for any such date is hereinafter referred to as a “Percentage Allocation”) shall be allocated to the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and transferred to the Principal Account until applied as provided herein; provided, however, that if the sum of such Percentage Allocation and all preceding Percentage Allocations with respect to the same Monthly Period exceeds the Controlled Deposit Amount during the Controlled Accumulation Period for the related Payment Date, then such excess shall not be treated as a Percentage Allocation and shall be first, if any other Principal Sharing Series is outstanding and in its accumulation period or amortization period, retained in the Principal Account for application, to the extent necessary, as Shared Principal Collections to other Principal Sharing Series on the related Payment Date, second deposited in the Excess Funding Account to the extent necessary so that the Free Equity Amount is not less than the Minimum Free Equity Amount and third paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest.
(z) Allocations During the Early Amortization Period. During the Early Amortization Period, an amount equal to the product of the Allocation Percentage and the aggregate amount of Principal Collections processed on such Date of Processing shall be allocated to the 2007-1 Noteholders and transferred to the Principal Account until applied as provided herein; provided, however, that after the date on which an amount of such Principal Collections equal to the Note Principal Balance has been deposited into the Principal Account such amount shall be first, if any other Principal Sharing Series is outstanding and in its accumulation period or amortization period, retained in the Principal Account for application, to the extent necessary, as Shared Principal Collections to other Principal Sharing Series on the related Payment Date, second deposited in the Excess Funding Account to the extent necessary so that the Free Equity Amount is not less than the Minimum Free Equity Amount and third paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest.

As of any Payment Date during the Controlled Accumulation Period or Early Amortization Period on which Available Principal Collections are treated as Shared Principal Collections, the Collateral Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of Available Principal Collections applied as Shared Principal Collections and (y) the Surplus Collateral Amount.
(d) On each Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay in accordance with Section 4.5 to the Class A Noteholders from the Distribution Account, the amount deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(iii) on such Payment Date, to the Class B Noteholders from the Distribution Account, the amount deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(iv) on such Payment Date and to the Class C Noteholders from the Distribution Account,

(b) On each Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay to each Class B Noteholder of record on the related Record Date such Class B Noteholder’s pro rata share of the amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account that are allocated and available on such Payment Date and as are payable to the Class B Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture Supplement.
(c) On each Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay to each Class C Noteholder of record on the related Record Date such Class C Noteholder’s pro rata share of the amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account (including amounts withdrawn from the Spread Account (at the times and in the amounts specified in Section 4.11)) that are allocated and available on such Payment Date and as are payable to the Class C Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture Supplement.

(e) All payments to Noteholders hereunder shall be made by (i) check mailed to each Series 2007-1 Noteholder (at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register), except that for any Series 2007-1 Notes registered in the name of the nominee of a Clearing Agency, such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.7(b) of the Indenture, without presentation or surrender of any Series 2007-1 Note or the making of any notation thereon.
SECTION 4.6. Investor Charge-Offs. On each Determination Date, the Issuer shall calculate the Investor Default Amount and any Investor Uncovered Dilution Amount for the preceding Monthly Period. If, on any Transfer Date, the sum of the Investor Default Amount and any Investor Uncovered Dilution Amount for the preceding Monthly Period exceeds the
26
amount of Available Finance Charge Collections allocated with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(vi) with respect to such Transfer Date, the Collateral Amount will be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of such excess (such reduction, an “Investor Charge-Off”).
SECTION 4.7. Reallocated Principal Collections. On each Transfer Date, the Issuer shall apply Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to that Transfer Date, to fund any deficiency pursuant to and in the priority set forth in Sections 4.4(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v). On each Transfer Date, the Collateral Amount shall be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections for such Transfer Date.
SECTION 4.8. Excess Finance Charge Collections. Series 2007-1 shall be an Excess Allocation Series with respect to Group One only. Subject to Section 8.6 of the Indenture, Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to the Excess Allocation Series in Group One for any Transfer Date will be allocated to Series 2007-1 in an amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to all the Excess Allocation Series in Group One for such Payment Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series 2007-1 for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all the Excess Allocation Series in Group One for such Payment Date. The “Finance Charge Shortfall” for Series 2007-1 for any Payment Date will be equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the full amount required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to Sections 4.4(a)(i) through (xiii) on such Payment Date over (b) the Available Finance Charge Collections with respect to such Payment Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Excess Finance Charge Collections).
SECTION 4.9. Shared Principal Collections. Subject to Section 8.5 of the Indenture, Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 2007-1 on any Transfer Date will be equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections with respect to all Principal Sharing Series for such Transfer Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Principal Shortfall for Series 2007-1 for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which are Principal Sharing Series for such Transfer Date. The “Principal Shortfall” for Series 2007-1 will be equal to (a) for any Transfer Date with respect to the Revolving Period or any Transfer Date during the Early Amortization Period prior to the Transfer Date relating to the earlier of (i) the Expected Principal Payment Date and (ii) the date on which all outstanding Series are in early amortization periods, zero, (b) for any Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the excess, if any, of the Controlled Deposit Amount with respect to such Transfer Date over the amount of Available Principal Collections for such Transfer Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections or amounts available to be treated as Available Principal Collections pursuant to clause (xiv) of Section 4.4(a)) and (c) for any Transfer Date relating to any Payment Date on or after the earlier of (i) the Expected Principal Payment Date and (ii) the date on which all outstanding Series are in early amortization periods, the Note Principal Balance.
SECTION 4.10. Reserve Account.
(a) On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be retained in the Reserve Account (to the extent that the Available Reserve Account
27
Amount is less than the Required Reserve Account Amount) and any remaining interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) shall be deposited into the Finance Charge Account and included in Available Finance Charge Collections for the related Monthly Period. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Reserve Account for any reason under this Indenture Supplement, except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.
(b) On or before each Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period and on or before the first Transfer Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period, the Issuer shall calculate the Reserve Draw Amount; provided, however, that such amount will be reduced to the extent that funds otherwise would be available for deposit in the Reserve Account under Section 4.4(a)(viii) on the following Payment Date.
(c) If for any Transfer Date the Reserve Draw Amount is greater than zero, the Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available Reserve Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account on such Transfer Date by the Issuer and deposited into the Finance Charge Account for application as Available Finance Charge Collections on the following Payment Date.
(d) If the Reserve Account Surplus on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Reserve Account with respect to such Transfer Date, is greater than zero, the Indenture Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Issuer, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account an amount equal to such Reserve Account Surplus and distribute any such amounts to the holders of the Transferor Interest.
(e) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article VIII of the Trust Agreement, (ii) the first Transfer Date relating to the Early Amortization Period and (iii) the Expected Principal Payment Date for the Class C Notes, the Issuer, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 2007-1 Noteholders that are payable from the Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Account and distribute any such amounts to the holders of the Transferor Interest. The Reserve Account shall thereafter be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Indenture Supplement.
SECTION 4.11. Spread Account.
(a) On or before each Transfer Date, if the aggregate amount of Available Finance Charge Collections available for application pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(v) is less than the aggregate amount required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(v), the Issuer shall withdraw from the Spread Account the amount of such deficiency up to the Available Spread Account Amount and if the Available Spread Account Amount is less than such deficiency, Investment Earnings credited to the Spread Account and shall apply such amount in accordance with Section 4.4(a)(v).
(b) Unless an Early Amortization Event occurs, the Issuer will withdraw from the Spread Account and deposit in the Collection Account for payment to the Class C Noteholders on the Expected Principal Payment Date for the Class C Notes an amount equal to the lesser of:
28
(i) the amount on deposit in the Spread Account after application of any amounts set forth in clause (a) above and (ii) the Class C Note Principal Balance.
(c) Upon an Early Amortization Event, the amount, if any, remaining on deposit in the Spread Account, after making the payments described in clause (a) above, shall be applied to pay principal on the Class C Notes on the earlier of the Series Maturity Date and the first Payment Date on which the Class A Note Principal Balance and the Class B Note Principal Balance have been paid in full.
(d) On any day following the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Series 2007-1 that has resulted in the acceleration of the Series 2007-1 Notes, the Issuer shall withdraw from the Spread Account the Available Spread Account Amount and deposit such amount in the Distribution Account for payment to the Series 2007-1 Notes in the following order of priority until all amounts owed to such Noteholders have been paid in full: (i) the Class C Noteholders, (ii) the Class A Noteholders and (iii) the Class B Noteholders.
(e) If on any Payment Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals from the Spread Account, the Available Spread Account Amount is less than the Required Spread Account Amount then in effect, Available Finance Charge Collections shall be deposited into the Spread Account pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ix) up to the amount of the Spread Account Deficiency.
(f) If, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Spread Account with respect to any Payment Date, the amount on deposit in the Spread Account exceeds the Required Spread Account Amount, the Issuer shall withdraw an amount equal to such excess from the Spread Account and distribute such amount to the Transferor. On the date on which the Class C Note Principal Balance has been paid in full, after making any payments to the Noteholders required pursuant to Sections 4.11(a), (b), (c) and (d), the Issuer shall withdraw from the Spread Account all amounts then remaining in the Spread Account and pay such amounts to the holders of the Transferor Interest.
SECTION 4.12. Investment of Accounts. (a) To the extent there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Series Accounts, the Issuer shall cause such amounts to be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Issuer that mature no later than the immediately preceding Transfer Date.
(b) On each Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period and on the first Transfer Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period, the Issuer shall transfer from the Principal Accumulation Account to the Finance Charge Account the Principal Accumulation Investment Proceeds on deposit in the Principal Accumulation for application as Available Finance Charge Collections in accordance with Section 4.4.
(c) Principal Accumulation Investment Proceeds (including reinvested interest) shall not be considered part of the amounts on deposit in the Principal Accumulation Account for purposes of this Indenture Supplement.
(d) On each Transfer Date (but subject to Section 4.11(a)), the Investment Earnings, if any, credited since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in the Spread Account shall be retained in the Spread Account (to the extent that the Available Spread Account Amount
29
is less than the Required Spread Account Amount) and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Spread Account for any reason under this Indenture Supplement (subject to Section 4.11(a)), all Investment Earnings shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit; provided that after the maturity of the Series 2007-1 Notes has been accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, all Investment Earnings shall be added to the balance on deposit in the Spread Account and treated like the rest of the Available Spread Account Amount.
SECTION 4.13. Controlled Accumulation Period. The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the beginning of business on April 22, 2009; provided that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) on any Determination Date is less than or more than the number of months in the scheduled Controlled Accumulation Period, upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to each Rating Agency, the Issuer shall either postpone or accelerate, as applicable, the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences, so that, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will equal the Controlled Accumulation Period Length; provided that the length of the Controlled Accumulation Period will not be less than one month. The “Controlled Accumulation Period Length” will mean a number of whole months such that the amount available for payment of principal on the Notes on the Expected Principal Payment Date is expected to equal or exceed the Note Principal Balance, assuming for this purpose that (1) the payment rate with respect to Principal Collections remains constant at the lowest level of such payment rate during the twelve preceding Monthly Periods, (2) the total amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust (and the principal amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account, if any) remains constant at the level on such date of determination, (3) no Early Amortization Event with respect to any Series will subsequently occur and (4) no additional Series (other than any Series being issued on such date of determination) will be subsequently issued. Any notice by Issuer modifying the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall specify (i) the Controlled Accumulation Period Length, (ii) the commencement date of the Controlled Accumulation Period and (iii) the Controlled Accumulation Amount with respect to each Monthly Period during the Controlled Accumulation Period.
SECTION 4.14. Determination of LIBOR.
(a) On each LIBOR Determination Date in respect of an Interest Period, the Indenture Trustee shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate per annum displayed in the Bloomberg Financial Markets system as the composite offered rate for London interbank deposits for a period of the Designated Maturity, as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that date. If that rate does not appear on that display page, LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the rate per annum shown on page 3750 of the Moneyline Telerate Services Report screen or any successor page as the composite offered rate for London interbank deposits for a one-month period, as shown under the heading “USD” as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date. If no rate is shown as described in the preceding two sentences, LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the rate per annum based on the rates at which Dollar deposits for a period of the Designated Maturity are displayed on page “LIBOR” of the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service or such other page as may replace the LIBOR page on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the
30
LIBOR Determination Date; provided that if at least two rates appear on that page, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the displayed rates and if fewer than two rates are displayed, or if no rate is relevant, the rate for that Interest Period shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for the period of the Designated Maturity. The Indenture Trustee shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two (2) such quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two (2) quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period of the Designated Maturity.
(b) The Class A Note Interest Rate and Class C Note Interest Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its corporate trust office at (000) 000-0000 or such other telephone number as shall be designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice by the Indenture Trustee to each Series 2007-1 Noteholder from time to time.
(c) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall send to the Issuer by facsimile transmission, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
SECTION 4.15. Swaps. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer shall enter into a Class A Swap with the Class A Counterparty and a Class C Swap with the Class C Counterparty for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders, respectively. The aggregate notional amount under the Class A Swap shall, at any time, be equal to the Class A Note Principal Balance at such time. The aggregate notional amount under the Class C Swap shall, at any time, be equal to the Class C Note Principal Balance. The Issuer shall cause the Class A Counterparty or the Class C Counterparty to deposit Net Swap Receipts payable in the Collection Account. On any Payment Date when there shall be a Class A Senior Swap Payment, the Issuer shall pay such Class A Senior Swap Payment subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 4.4(a)(iii). On any Payment Date when there shall be a Class C Senior Swap Payment, the Issuer shall pay such Class C Senior Swap Payment subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 4.4(a)(v). On any Payment Date when there shall be Subordinated Termination Payments or any other miscellaneous payments payable by the Issuer to the Counterparties, the Issuer shall pay such amounts subject to the priority of payments set forth in Sections 4.4(a)(xi) and (xii).
(b) When required under the terms of the existing Class A Swap or Class C Swap, the Issuer shall obtain a Qualifying Substitute Arrangement.
SECTION 4.16. Deposit of Collections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, for any Monthly Period during which the Issuer is permitted to make a single monthly deposit to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Indenture for such Monthly Period, the Issuer need not make the daily deposits of Collections into the Collection Account as provided in Section 8.4 of the Indenture, but may make a single deposit in the Collection
31
Account in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon., New York City time, on the related Payment Date.

SECTION 8.4. GOVERNING LAW. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401(1) OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS INDENTURE SUPPLEMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939, AS AMENDED, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED THEREBY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.
(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED
36
OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE NOTES, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

ARTICLE IX
FASIT MATTERS
SECTION 9.1. FASIT Administration.
(a) FASIT Matters. An election has been made to treat the Trust Estate as a FASIT known as the RFS FASIT. December 30, 2002 was designated as the “Startup Day” of the RFS FASIT within the meaning of section 860L(d)(1) of the Code. The Ownership Interest was designated as the single class of “ownership interest” (within the meaning of section 860L(b)(2) of the Code) in the RFS FASIT. Notwithstanding any provision of the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement to the contrary, each class of Series 2007-1 Regular Interests shall mature on or before December 1, 2020.
(b) Series 2007-1 Regular Interests. Each Class of Notes is hereby designated a separate class of “regular interests” in the RFS FASIT within the meaning of section 860L(b)(1)(A) of the Code and each Note is hereby designated a separate “regular interest” within such Class. Each of the Class A Notes is hereby designated a “Class A Regular Interest,” each of the Class B Notes is hereby designated a “Class B Regular Interest” and each of the Class C Notes is hereby designated a “Class C Regular Interest” (the Class A Regular Interests, the Class B Regular Interests and the Class C Regular Interests being referred to collectively as the “Series 2007-1 Regular Interests”). The Series 2007-1 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate of interest on the related Class A Note, Class B Note or Class C Note, as applicable (such related interest, a “Related Interest”). The rate of interest on each Related Interest is intended to qualify as a qualifying variable rate under section 860L(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the
38
Code. Interest shall be paid on each Class of Series 2007-1 Regular Interest at the same times as Interest is paid on the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes (which Interest shall be allocated among the Series 2007-1 Regular Interests in proportion to the amount of Interest owning on the respective Related Interests if there is more than one class of such Series 2007-1 Regular Interests and Interest with respect to each class is not paid in full). The principal amount of each Series 2007-1 Regular Interest shall equal the respective amount of the Class A Note Principal Balance, Class B Note Principal Balance or Class C Note Principal Balance, as applicable, with respect to the Related Interest for such Series 2007-1 Regular Interest.
(c) Payment of Principal on Class A Regular Interests. On each Payment Date, beginning with the Payment Date in the Monthly Period following the Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulation Period or, if earlier, the Early Amortization Period, begins, the principal amount of each Class A Regular Interest related to a Class A Note shall be reduced by such Class A Note’s pro rata share of an amount equal to the least of (i) the Available Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account with respect to such Payment Date, (ii) for each Payment Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such Payment Date, (iii) the Collateral Amount (after taking into account any adjustments to be made on such Payment Date pursuant to Sections 4.6 and 4.7) prior to any deposit into the Principal Accumulation Account on such Payment Date, and (iv) the Note Principal Balance, minus any amount already on deposit in the Principal Accumulation Account on such Payment Date.
(d) Payment of Principal on Class B Regular Interests. On each Payment Date, beginning with the Payment Date in the Monthly Period following the Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulation Period or, if earlier, the Early Amortization Period, begins, the principal amount of each Class B Regular Interest related to a Class B Note shall be reduced by such Class B Note’s pro rata share of an amount equal to the least of (i) the Available Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account with respect to such Payment Date, (ii) for each Payment Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such Payment Date, (iii) the Collateral Amount (after taking into account any adjustments to be made on such Payment Date pursuant to Sections 4.6 and 4.7) prior to any deposit into the Principal Accumulation Account on such Payment Date, and (iv) the Note Principal Balance, minus any amount already on deposit in the Principal Accumulation Account on such Payment Date.
(e) Payment of Principal on Class C Regular Interests. On each Payment Date, beginning with the Payment Date in the Monthly Period following the Monthly Period in which the Controlled Accumulation Period or, if earlier, the Early Amortization Period, begins, the principal amount of each Class C Regular Interest related to a Class C Note shall be reduced by such Class C Note’s pro rata share of an amount equal to the least of (i) the Available Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account with respect to such Payment Date, (ii) for each Payment Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such Payment Date, (iii) the Collateral Amount (after taking into account any adjustments to be made on such Payment Date pursuant to Sections 4.6 and 4.7) prior to any deposit into the Principal Accumulation Account on such Payment Date, and (iv) the Note Principal Balance, minus any amount already on deposit in the Principal Accumulation Account on such Payment Date.
39
(f) The Issuer hereby agrees to take such further actions as may be required to effectuate this Article IX and the intent that the RFS FASIT be treated as a FASIT.
(g) Alternative Characterization. The Issuer acknowledges that the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) repealed the provisions of the Code governing FASITs. In the event that the Internal Revenue Service issues guidance in the form of a Notice, Revenue Procedure, Revenue Ruling, or Private Letter Ruling providing for FASITs existing prior to October 22, 2004 to terminate and/or cease issuing regular interests, then it is the intent of the parties hereto that, for federal income tax purposes, (i) the Trust Estate be disregarded as an entity separate from RFS Holding L.L.C. and (ii) the Notes be treated as debt.
