On any U.S. Government Securities Business Day during the Series 2021-A Revolving Period, HVF III, subject to this Section 2.2(a) (Class A Advances), may, upon two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Class A Noteholders, increase the Class A Principal Amount (such increase, including any increase resulting from a Class A Investor Group Maximum Principal Increase Amount or a Class A Additional Investor Group Initial Principal Amount, is referred to as a “Class A Advance”), which increase shall be allocated among the Class A Investor Groups in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(iv) (Class A Advance Allocations).
A. Whenever HVF III wishes that a Class A Conduit Investor, or if there is no Class A Conduit Investor with respect to any Class A Investor Group, the Class A Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Class A Investor Group, make a Class A Advance, HVF III shall notify the Program Agent, the related Class A Funding Agent and the Trustee by providing written notice delivered to the Program Agent, the Trustee and such Class A Funding Agent (with a copy of such notice delivered to the Class A Committed Note Purchasers) no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the proposed Class A Advance (which notice may be combined with the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) (Additional Class A Investor Groups), in the case of a Class A Advance in connection with a Class A Additional Investor Group Initial Principal Amount, or pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) (Class A Investor Group Maximum Principal Increase), in the case of a Class A Advance in connection with a Class A Investor Group Maximum Principal Increase Amount). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Series 2021-A Supplement and specify the aggregate amount of the requested Class A Advance to be made on such date; provided, however, if HVF III receives a Class A Delayed Funding Notice in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(v) (Class A Delayed Funding Procedures) by 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Class A Advance, HVF III shall have the right to revoke the Class A Advance Request with respect to the requested Class A Advance by providing the Program Agent and each Class A Funding Agent (with a copy to the Trustee and each Class A Committed Note Purchaser) written notice, by telecopy or electronic mail, of such revocation no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the proposed date of such Class A Advance.
11
B. Each Class A Funding Agent shall promptly advise its related Class A Conduit Investor, or if there is no Class A Conduit Investor with respect to any Class A Investor Group, its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser, of any notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i) (Class A Advance Requests) and, if there is a Class A Conduit Investor with respect to any Class A Investor Group, shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of the Class A Advance), notify HVF III and the related Class A Committed Note Purchaser(s), whether such Class A Conduit Investor has determined to make such Class A Advance.

A. each Class A Conduit Investor, if any, may fund Class A Advances (whether as a Class A Non-Delayed Amount or a Class A Delayed Amount) from time to time during the Series 2021-A Revolving Period;
B. if any Class A Conduit Investor determines that it will not make a Class A Advance (whether as a Class A Non-Delayed Amount or a Class A Delayed Amount) or any portion of a Class A Advance (whether as a Class A Non-Delayed Amount or a Class A Delayed Amount), then such Class A Conduit Investor shall notify the Program Agent and the Class A Funding Agent with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor, and each Class A Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor, subject to Section 2.2(a)(v) (Class A Delayed Funding Procedures), shall fund its pro rata portion (by Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage) of the Class A Commitment Percentage with respect to such Class A Investor Group of such Class A Advance (whether as a Class A Non-Delayed Amount or a Class A Delayed Amount) not funded by such Class A Conduit Investor; and
C. if there is no Class A Conduit Investor with respect any Class A Investor Group, then the Class A Committed Note Purchaser(s) with respect to such Class A Investor Group, subject to Section 2.2(a)(v) (Class A Delayed Funding Procedures), shall fund Class A Advances (whether as a Class A Non-Delayed Amount or a Class A Delayed Amount) from time to time.
(iii) Class A Conduit Investor Funding. Each Class A Conduit Investor hereby agrees with respect to itself that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to fund Class A Advances made by its Class A Investor Group through the issuance of Class A Commercial Paper; provided that, (i) no Class A Conduit Investor will have any obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to fund Class A Advances made by its Class A Investor Group through the issuance of Class A Commercial Paper at any time that the funding of such Class A Advance through the issuance of Class A Commercial Paper would be prohibited by the program documents governing such Class A Conduit Investor’s commercial paper program, (ii) nothing herein is (or shall be construed) as a commitment by any Class A Conduit Investor to fund any Class A Advance through the issuance of Class A Commercial Paper; provided further that, the Class A Conduit Investors shall not, and shall not be obligated to, fund or pay any amount pursuant to this Series 2021-A Supplement unless (i) the respective Class A Conduit Investor has received funds that may be used to make such funding or other payment and which funds are not required to repay any of the commercial paper notes (“Class A CP Notes”) issued by such Class A Conduit Investor when due and (ii) after giving effect to such funding or payment, either (x) such Class A Conduit Investor could issue Class A CP Notes to refinance all of its outstanding Class A CP Notes (assuming such outstanding Class A CP Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing its commercial paper program or (y) all of the Class A CP Notes are paid in full. Any amount that a Class A Conduit Investor does not pay pursuant to the operation of the second proviso of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of such Class A Conduit Investor for any such insufficiency.
12

13
(v) Class A Delayed Funding Procedures.
A. A Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser, upon receipt of any notice of a Class A Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i) (Class A Advance Requests), promptly (but in no event later than 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the proposed date of such Class A Advance) may notify HVF III in writing (a “Class A Delayed Funding Notice”) of its election to designate such Class A Advance as a delayed Class A Advance (such Class A Advance, a “Class A Designated Delayed Advance”). If such Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser’s ratable portion of such Class A Advance exceeds its Class A Required Non-Delayed Amount (such excess amount, the “Class A Permitted Delayed Amount”), then the Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser also shall include in the Class A Delayed Funding Notice the portion of such Class A Advance (such amount as specified in the Class A Delayed Funding Notice, not to exceed such Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser’s Class A Permitted Delayed Amount, the “Class A Delayed Amount”) that the Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser has elected to fund on a U.S. Government Securities Business Day that is on or prior to the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the proposed date of such Class A Advance (such date as specified in the Class A Delayed Funding Notice, the “Class A Delayed Funding Date”) rather than on the date for such Class A Advance specified in the related Class A Advance Request.
B. If (A) one or more Class A Delayed Funding Purchasers provide a Class A Delayed Funding Notice to HVF III specifying a Class A Delayed Amount in respect of any Class A Advance and (B) HVF III shall not have revoked the notice of the Class A Advance by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the proposed date of such Class A Advance, then HVF III, by no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the date of such proposed Class A Advance, may (but shall have no obligation to) direct each Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser to fund an additional portion of such Class A Advance on the proposed date of such Class A Advance equal to such Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser’s proportionate share (based upon the relative Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchasers) of the aggregate Class A Delayed Amount with respect to the proposed Class A Advance; provided that, (i) no Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser shall be required to fund any portion of its proportionate share of such aggregate Class A Delayed Amount that would cause its Class A Investor Group Principal Amount to exceed its Class A Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount and (ii) any Class A Conduit Investor, if any, in the Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser’s Class A Investor Group may, in its sole discretion, agree to fund such proportionate share of such aggregate Class A Delayed Amount.

14
(vi) Funding Class A Advances.
A. Subject to the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.2(a) (Class A Advances), on the date of each Class A Advance, each Class A Conduit Investor and Class A Committed Note Purchaser(s) funding such Class A Advance shall make available to HVF III its portion of the amount of such Class A Advance (other than any Class A Delayed Amount) by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds to the Series 2021-A Principal Collection Account no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Class A Advance. Proceeds from any Class A Advance shall be deposited into the Series 2021-A Principal Collection Account.
B. A Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser that delivered a Class A Delayed Funding Notice in respect of a Class A Delayed Amount shall be obligated to fund such Class A Delayed Amount on the related Class A Delayed Funding Date in the manner set forth in the next succeeding sentence, irrespective of whether the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date with respect to the Class A Notes shall have occurred on or prior to such Class A Delayed Funding Date or HVF III would be able to satisfy the Class A Funding Conditions on such Class A Delayed Funding Date. Such Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser shall (i) pay the sum of the Class A Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount related to such Class A Delayed Amount, if any, to HVF III no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Class A Delayed Funding Date by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds to the Series 2021-A Principal Collection Account, and (ii) pay the Class A Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount related to such Class A Delayed Amount, if any, on such related Class A Delayed Funding Date to each applicable Class A Funding Agent in immediately available funds for the ratable benefit of the related Class A Available Delayed Amount Purchasers that funded the Class A Delayed Amount on the date of the Class A Advance related to such Class A Delayed Amount in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(v)(B) (Class A Delayed Funding Procedures), based on the relative amount of such Class A Delayed Amount funded by such Class A Available Delayed Amount Purchaser on the date of such Class A Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(v)(B) (Class A Delayed Funding Procedures).
15
(vii) Class A Funding Defaults. If, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of any Class A Advance, one or more Class A Committed Note Purchasers in a Class A Investor Group (each, a “Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser,” and each Class A Committed Note Purchaser in the related Class A Investor Group that is not a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, a “Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser”) fails to make its portion of such Class A Advance, available to HVF III pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vi) (Funding Class A Advances) (the aggregate amount unavailable to HVF III as a result of any such failure being herein called a “Class A Advance Deficit”), then the Class A Funding Agent for such Class A Investor Group, by no later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable date of such Class A Advance, shall instruct each Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser in the same Class A Investor Group as the Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser to pay, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), in immediately available funds, to the Series 2021-A Principal Collection Account, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser’s pro rata portion (based upon the relative Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchasers) of the Class A Advance Deficit and (ii) the amount by which such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser’s pro rata portion (by Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage) of the Class A Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount for such Class A Investor Group exceeds the portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount for such Class A Investor Group funded by such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser (determined after giving effect to all Class A Advances already made by such Class A Investor Group on such date). Subject to Section 1.3 (Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions), a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the applicable Class A Funding Agent for the ratable benefit of the Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchasers all amounts paid by each such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser on behalf of such Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by a Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser until the date such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 0.50% per annum. For the avoidance of doubt, no Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser that has provided a Class A Delayed Funding Notice in respect of a Class A Advance shall be considered to be in default of its obligation to fund its Class A Delayed Amount or be treated as a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser hereunder unless and until it has failed to fund the Class A Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount or the Class A Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount on the related Class A Delayed Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(vi)(B) (Funding Class A Advances).
(b) Class B Advances. The issuance of any Class B Additional Series 2021-A Notes shall be on the terms and subject to the conditions agreed by HVF III and the holders/potential holders of such Class B Notes.

20
Section 2.6. Commitment Terms and Extensions of Commitments.
(a) Term. The “Term” of the Commitments hereunder shall be for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date with respect to such Class of the Series 2021-A Notes.
(b) Requests for Extensions. HVF III may request, (i) through the Program Agent, that each Funding Agent, for the account of the related Investor Group, and (ii) that the Class RR Committed Note Purchaser consents to, an extension of the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date with respect to one or more Classes of Series 2021-A Notes for such period as HVF III may specify (the “Extension Length”), which consent will be granted or withheld by each Funding Agent, on behalf of the related Investor Group, or the Class RR Committed Note Purchaser, in each case, in its sole discretion. To the extent that any Funding Agent represents more than one Committed Note Purchaser in an Investor Group, the Funding Agent may extend or decline the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date on behalf of each individual Committed Note Purchasers within an Investor Group, and the Funding Agent thus may make different elections on behalf of individual Committed Note Purchasers within the same Investor Group.
(c) Procedures for Extension Consents. Upon receipt of any request described in clause (b) above, the Program Agent shall promptly notify each Funding Agent for the Class(es) of Series 2021-A Notes subject to such request, each of which Funding Agents shall notify each Conduit Investor, if any, and each Committed Note Purchaser in its Investor Group thereof. Not later than the first (1st) Business Day following the thirtieth (30th) day after such request for an extension (such period, the “Election Period”), each Committed Note Purchaser for the applicable Class(es) shall notify HVF III and each Committed Note Purchaser for the applicable Class(es) (other than the Class RR Committed Note Purchaser) shall notify the Program Agent of its willingness or refusal to consent to such extension and each Conduit Investor for the applicable Class(es) shall notify the Funding Agent for its Investor Group of its willingness or refusal to consent to such extension, and such Funding Agent shall notify HVF III and the Program Agent of such willingness or refusal by each such Conduit Investor (any such Conduit Investor or Committed Note Purchaser that refuses to consent to such extension, a “Non-Extending Purchaser”). Any Committed Note Purchaser (other than the Class RR Committed Note Purchaser) that does not expressly notify HVF III and the Program Agent that it is willing to consent to an extension of the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date during the applicable Election Period and each Conduit Investor that does not expressly notify such Funding Agent that it is willing to consent to an extension of the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date for the applicable Class(es) during the applicable Election Period shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Purchaser; provided that, if the Class RR Committed Note Purchaser fails to so consent to an extension of the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date that is the later of the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date for the Class A Notes or the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date for the Class B Notes, no other such consent received from any other Committed Note Purchaser or any Conduit Investor shall be given effect. If a Committed Note Purchaser or a Conduit Investor has agreed to extend its Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date, and, at the end of the applicable Election Period no Amortization Event shall be continuing with respect to the Series 2021-A Notes, then the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date for the Class RR Committed Note Purchaser and for such Committed Note Purchaser or Conduit Investor for the applicable Class(es) then in effect shall be extended to the date that is the last day of the Extension Length (which shall begin running on the day after the then-current Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date for such Class of Series 2021-A Notes); provided that, no such extension to the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date shall become effective until (i) the termination of each Non-Extending Purchaser’s commitment, if any, (ii) on the date of any such termination with respect to a Class A Investor Group, the prepayment in full of each such Non-Extending Purchaser’s portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount for such Non-Extending Purchaser’s Class A Investor Group and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, in each case, in accordance with Section 9.2 (Replacement of Investor Group) and (iii) on the date of any such termination with respect to a Class B Investor Group, the prepayment in full of each such Non-Extending Purchaser’s portion of the Class B Investor Group Principal Amount for such Non-Extending Purchaser’s Class B Investor Group and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, in each case, in accordance with Section 9.2 (Replacement of Investor Group). A request to extend the Series 2021-A Commitment Termination Date with respect to one but not all Classes of Series 2021-A Notes shall require concurrent written notice to (but not the consent of) each of the Funding Agents, Committed Note Purchasers or Conduit Investors with respect to the Investor Groups for the Class of Series 2021-A Notes that are not subject to the request for extension.
21

22
(f) if (i) the Class RR Committed Note Purchaser receives funds payable to it hereunder later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and (ii) prior to the later of the next succeeding Determination Date and thirty (30) days after the date on which the Class RR Committed Note Purchaser received such funds, the Class RR Committed Note Purchaser does not notify HVF III in writing of such receipt, then such funds, received later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date will be treated for all purposes hereunder as received on such date; and

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Series 2021-A Supplement to the contrary, if at any time a Class A Committed Note Purchaser in a Class A Investor Group becomes a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser has failed to pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.2 (Advances):

Such additional amounts shall be payable by HVF III to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Person on the Payment Date immediately following HVF III’s receipt of such notice, and such notice, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on HVF III.
Section 3.6. Funding Losses. In the event any Affected Person shall incur any loss or expense (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Person to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Class A CP Tranche or Class A SOFR Tranche, to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Class A Advance not in the Class A CP Tranche into the Class A CP Tranche or not in the Class A SOFR Tranche into the Class A SOFR Tranche as a result of:
(i) any conversion or repayment or prepayment (for any reason, including as a result of the acceleration of the maturity of any portion of the Class A CP Tranche or Class A SOFR Tranche in connection with any Class A Decrease, pursuant to Section 2.3 (Procedure for Decreasing the Principal Amount) or any optional repurchase of the Class A Notes, as applicable, pursuant to Section 10.1 (Authorization and Action of the Program Agent) or otherwise, or the assignment thereof in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Class A Program Support Agreement) of the principal amount of any portion of the Class A CP Tranche or Class A SOFR Tranche , as applicable, on a date other than a Payment Date;
(ii) any Class A Advance not being made as part of the Class A CP Tranche or Class A SOFR Tranche, as applicable, after a request for such a Class A Advance has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein;
(iii) any Class A Advance not being continued as part of the Class A CP Tranche or Class A SOFR Tranche, as applicable, or converted into a Class A Advance under the Class A SOFR Tranche, after a request for such a Class A Advance has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein;
(iv) any failure of HVF III to make a Class A Decrease after giving notice thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(b) (Mandatory Decrease) or Section 2.3(c) (Voluntary Decrease),
then, upon the written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) by any Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and HVF III, which written notice shall be conclusive and binding on HVF III (in the absence of manifest error), HVF III shall pay to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall, on the next succeeding Payment Date, pay directly to such Affected Person such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such loss or expense; provided that, the maximum amount payable by HVF III to any Affected Person in respect of any losses or expenses that result from any conversion, repayment or prepayment described in clause (i) above shall be the amount HVF III would be obligated to pay pursuant to clause (i) above if such conversion, repayment or prepayment were scheduled to have been paid on the next succeeding Payment Date; provided further that, in no event shall any amount be payable by HVF III to any Affected Person pursuant to this Section 3.6 (Funding Losses) as a result of any conversion, repayment, prepayment or non-payment with respect to any Class A CP Tranche unless (i) the amount of such conversion, repayment, prepayment or non-payment exceeds $100,000,000 with respect to such Affected Person and (ii) such Affected Person shall have received less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice from HVF III of such conversion, repayment, prepayment or non-payment, as the case may be.

Section 3.7. Increased Capital Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person reasonably determines that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment or the Class A Advances made by such Affected Person hereunder is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such Change in Law, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and HVF III, HVF III shall pay to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person an incremental commitment fee, payable on each Payment Date, sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return to the extent that the increased costs for which such Affected Person is being compensated are allocable to the existence of such Affected Person’s Class A Advances or Class A Commitment, as applicable, hereunder. A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on HVF III; provided that, the initial payment of such increased commitment fee shall include a payment for accrued amounts due under this Section 3.7 (Increased Capital Costs) prior to such initial payment.
Section 3.8. Taxes.
(a) All payments by HVF III of principal of, and interest on, the Class A Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (x) net income, franchise or similar taxes (including branch profits taxes or alternative minimum tax) imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced by, this Series 2021-A Supplement), (y) with respect to any Affected Person organized under the laws of the jurisdiction other than the United States (“Foreign Affected Person”), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person at the time the Foreign Affected Person becomes a party to (or acquires a Participation in) this Series 2021-A Supplement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from HVF III with respect to withholding tax and (z) United States federal withholding taxes that would not have been imposed but for a failure by an Affected Person (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such Affected Person) to comply with the requirements of current Sections 1471-1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement or treaty among Governmental Authorities and published administrative guidance, in each case implementing such Sections of the Code (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”).
29
(b) Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from HVF III, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Taxes and HVF III will promptly upon receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Taxes pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had no such Taxes been asserted.
(c) If HVF III fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Affected Person or its agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, HVF III shall indemnify the Affected Person and their agent for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agent as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 3.8 (Taxes), a distribution hereunder by the agent for the relevant Affected Person shall be deemed a payment by HVF III.
(d) Each Foreign Affected Person shall execute and deliver to HVF III, prior to the initial due date of any payments hereunder and to the extent permissible under then current law, and on or about the first scheduled payment date in each calendar year thereafter, one or more (as HVF III may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, Forms W-8BEN-E, Forms W-8ECI or Forms W 9, or successor applicable forms, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. HVF III shall not, however, be required to pay any increased amount under this Section 3.8 (Taxes) to any Affected Person that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States if such Affected Person fails to comply with the requirements set forth in this paragraph.
(e) If the Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.8 (Taxes), it shall pay over such refund to HVF III (but only to the extent of amounts paid under this Section 3.8 (Taxes) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund), provided that HVF III, upon the request of the Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to HVF III (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This Section 3.8 (Taxes) shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to HVF III or any other Person.
Section 3.9. Series 2021-A Carrying Charges; Survival. Any amounts payable by HVF III under the Specified Cost Sections shall constitute Series 2021-A Carrying Charges. The agreements in the Specified Cost Sections and Section 3.10 (Minimizing Costs and Expenses and Equivalent Treatment) shall survive the termination of this Series 2021-A Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
Section 3.10. Minimizing Costs and Expenses and Equivalent Treatment.
(a) Each Affected Person shall be deemed to have agreed that it shall, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to in any Specified Cost Section, use commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application) to minimize the costs, expenses, taxes or other liabilities incurred by it and payable to it by HVF III pursuant to such Specified Cost Section.
30
(b) In determining any amounts payable to it by HVF III pursuant to any Specified Cost Section, each Affected Person shall treat HVF III the same as or better than all similarly situated Persons (as determined by such Affected Person in its reasonable discretion) and such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions, such that HVF III is treated the same as, or better than, all such other similarly situated Persons with respect to such other similar transactions.
Section 3.11. Timing Threshold for Specified Cost Sections. Notwithstanding anything in this Series 2021-A Supplement to the contrary, HVF III shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Affected Person pursuant to any Specified Cost Section in respect of any amount otherwise owing pursuant to any Specified Cost Section that arose during any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such Affected Person’s obtaining knowledge thereof, except that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. If, after the payment of any amounts by HVF III pursuant to any Specified Cost Section, any applicable law, rule or regulation in respect of which a payment was made is thereafter determined to be invalid or inapplicable to such Affected Person, then such Affected Person, within sixty (60) days after such determination, shall repay any amounts paid to it by HVF III hereunder in respect of such Change in Law.
Section 3.12. JPMorgan as Lender. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) hereby notifies HVF III that: (i) JPMorgan and/or its affiliates may from time to time purchase, hold or sell, as principal and/or agent, commercial paper issued by Chariot Funding, LLC; (ii) JPMorgan and/or its affiliates act as Funding Agent for Chariot Funding, LLC, and as Funding Agent JPMorgan manages Chariot Funding, LLC’s issuance of commercial paper, including the selection of amount and tenor of commercial paper issuance, and the discount or interest rate applicable thereto; (iii) JPMorgan and/or its affiliates act as a commercial paper dealer for Chariot Funding, LLC; and (iv) JPMorgan’s activities as Funding Agent and commercial paper dealer for Chariot Funding, LLC, and as a purchaser or seller of commercial paper, impact the interest or discount rate applicable to the commercial paper issued by Chariot Funding, LLC, which impact the Class A CP Rate paid by HVF III hereunder. By execution hereof, HVF III hereby (x) acknowledges the foregoing and agrees that JPMorgan does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the interest or discount rate paid by Chariot Funding, LLC in connection with its commercial paper issuance; (y) acknowledges that the discount or interest rate at which JPMorgan and/or its affiliates purchase or sell commercial paper will be determined by JPMorgan and/or its affiliates in their sole discretion and may differ from the discount or interest rate applicable to comparable transactions entered into by JPMorgan and/or its affiliates on the relevant date; and (z) waives any conflict of interest arising by reason of JPMorgan and/or its affiliates acting as Funding Agent and commercial paper dealer for Chariot Funding, LLC while acting as purchaser or seller of commercial paper.

Following the date of any increase in the Class A Maximum Principal Amount or any increase in the Class B Principal Amount issued at a floating rate, HVF III shall adjust the Series 2021-A Interest Rate Caps within ten (10) Business Days.

An assignment by a Class A Committed Note Purchaser that is part of a Class A Investor Group that includes a Class A Conduit Investor to a Class A Investor Group that does not include a Class A Conduit Investor may be made pursuant to this Section 9.3(a)(i) (Class A Assignments); provided that, immediately prior to such assignment each Class A Conduit Investor that is part of the assigning Class A Investor Group shall be deemed to have assigned all of its rights and obligations in the Class A Notes (and its rights and obligations hereunder and under each other Series 2021-A Related Document) in respect of such assigned interest to its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(vii) (Class A Assignments). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any assignment by a Class A Committed Note Purchaser to a different Class A Investor Group that includes a Class A Conduit Investor shall be made pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(iii) (Class A Assignments), and not this Section 9.3(a)(i) (Class A Assignments).
75
(ii) Without limiting Section 9.3(a)(i) (Class A Assignments), each Class A Conduit Investor may assign all or a portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor and its rights and obligations under this Series 2021-A Supplement and each other Series 2021-A Related Document to which it is a party (or otherwise to which it has rights) to a Class A Conduit Assignee with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor without the prior written consent of HVF III. Upon such assignment by a Class A Conduit Investor to a Class A Conduit Assignee:
A. such Class A Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor,
B. the related administrative or managing agent for such Class A Conduit Assignee will act as the Class A Funding Agent for such Class A Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Class A Funding Agent hereunder or under each other Series 2021-A Related Document,
C. such Class A Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties, in each case relating to the Class A Commercial Paper and/or the Class A Notes, shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Class A Conduit Investor herein and in each other Series 2021-A Related Document (including any limitation on recourse against such Class A Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph),
76
D. such Class A Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Class A Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder and under each other Series 2021-A Related Document with respect to such portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount and such Class A Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations,

F. the definition of the term “Class A CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor, as applicable funded with commercial paper issued by such Class A Conduit Assignee from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “Class A CP Rate” applicable to such Class A Conduit Assignee on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Class A Conduit Assignee (rather than any other Class A Conduit Investor),
G. the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Series 2021-A Supplement and each other Series 2021-A Related Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and
H. if reasonably requested by the Class A Funding Agent with respect to such Class A Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Class A Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing.
No assignment by any Class A Conduit Investor to a Class A Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Class A Committed Note Purchasers in the same Class A Investor Group as such Class A Conduit Investor under Section 2.2 (Advances) to fund any Class A Advance not funded by such Class A Conduit Investor or such Class A Conduit Assignee.
(iii) Any Class A Conduit Investor and the Class A Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor (or, with respect to any Class A Investor Group without a Class A Conduit Investor, the related Class A Committed Note Purchaser) at any time may sell all or any part of their respective (or, with respect to a Class A Investor Group without a Class A Conduit Investor, its) rights and obligations under this Series 2021-A Supplement and the Class A Notes, with the prior written consent of HVF III, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to a Class A Investor Group with respect to which each acquiring Class A Conduit Investor is a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose commercial paper has ratings of at least “A-2” from S&P and “Prime-2” from Xxxxx’x and that includes one or more financial institutions providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (a “Class A Acquiring Investor Group”) pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 (the “Class A Investor Group Supplement”), executed by such Class A Acquiring Investor Group, the Class A Funding Agent with respect to such Class A Acquiring Investor Group (including each Class A Conduit Investor (if any) and the Class A Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Class A Investor Group), such assigning Class A Conduit Investor and the Class A Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor, the Class A Funding Agent with respect to such assigning Class A Conduit Investor and Class A Committed Note Purchasers and HVF III and delivered to the Program Agent; provided that, the consent of HVF III to any such assignment shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event with respect to the Series 2021-A Notes; provided further that HVF III may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion (and such withholding shall be deemed reasonable) to an assignment to a potential Class A Acquiring Investor Group that (a) has ratings of at least “A-2” from S&P and “Prime-2” by Xxxxx’x, but does not have ratings of at least “A-1” from S&P or “Prime-1” by Xxxxx’x if such assignment will result in a material increase in HVF III’s costs of financing with respect to the applicable Class A Notes or (b) is a Disqualified Party.
77
(iv) Any Class A Committed Note Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more financial institutions or other entities (“Class A Participants”) participations in its Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the Class A Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to it and the other Class A Committed Note Purchasers included in the related Class A Investor Group, its Class A Note and its rights hereunder (or, in each case, a portion thereof) pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to such Class A Committed Note Purchaser and the Class A Participant; provided, however, that (i) in the event of any such sale by a Class A Committed Note Purchaser to a Class A Participant, (A) such Class A Committed Note Purchaser’s obligations under this Series 2021-A Supplement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Class A Committed Note Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and (C) HVF III and the Program Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Class A Committed Note Purchaser in connection with its rights and obligations under this Series 2021-A Supplement, (ii) no Class A Committed Note Purchaser shall sell any participating interest under which the Class A Participant shall have any right to approve, veto, consent, waive or otherwise influence any approval, consent or waiver of such Class A Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amendment, consent or waiver with respect to this Series 2021-A Supplement or any other Series 2021-A Related Document, except to the extent that the approval of such amendment, consent or waiver otherwise would require the unanimous consent of all Class A Committed Note Purchasers hereunder, and (iii) no Class A Committed Note Purchaser shall sell any participating interest to any Disqualified Party. A Class A Participant shall have the right to receive reimbursement for amounts due pursuant to each Specified Cost Section but only to the extent that the related selling Class A Committed Note Purchaser would have had such right absent the sale of the related participation and, with respect to amounts due pursuant to Section 3.8 (Taxes), only to the extent such Class A Participant shall have complied with the provisions of Section 3.8 (Taxes) as if such Class A Participant were a Class A Committed Note Purchaser. Each such Class A Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions set forth in Section 3.10 (Minimizing Costs and Expenses and Equivalent Treatment) as if such Class A Participant were a Class A Committed Note Purchaser.
78
(v) HVF III authorizes each Class A Committed Note Purchaser to disclose to any Class A Participant or Class A Acquiring Committed Note Purchaser (each, a “Class A Transferee”) and any prospective Class A Transferee any and all financial information in such Class A Committed Note Purchaser’s possession concerning HVF III, the Series 2021-A Collateral, the Administrator and the Series 2021-A Related Documents that has been delivered to such Class A Committed Note Purchaser by HVF III in connection with such Class A Committed Note Purchaser’s credit evaluation of HVF III, the Series 2021-A Collateral and the Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, no Class A Committed Note Purchaser may disclose any of the foregoing information to any Class A Transferee who is a Disqualified Party without the prior written consent of an Authorized Officer of HVF III, which consent may be withheld for any reason in HVF III’s sole and absolute discretion.
(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Series 2021-A Supplement, each Class A Conduit Investor or, if there is no Class A Conduit Investor with respect to any Class A Investor Group, the Class A Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Class A Investor Group may at any time grant to one or more Class A Program Support Providers (or, in the case of a Class A Conduit Investor, to its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser) a participating interest in or lien on, or otherwise transfer and assign to one or more Class A Program Support Providers (or, in the case of a Class A Conduit Investor, to its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser), such Class A Conduit Investor’s or, if there is no Class A Conduit Investor with respect to any Class A Investor Group, the related Class A Committed Note Purchaser’s interests in the Class A Advances made hereunder and such Class A Program Support Provider (or such Class A Committed Note Purchaser, as the case may be), with respect to its participating or assigned interest, shall be entitled to the benefits granted to such Class A Conduit Investor or Class A Committed Note Purchaser, as applicable, under this Series 2021-A Supplement.
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Series 2021-A Supplement, each Class A Conduit Investor may at any time, without the consent of HVF III, transfer and assign all or a portion of its rights in the Class A Notes (and its rights hereunder and under other Series 2021-A Related Documents) to its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser. Furthermore, each Class A Conduit Investor may at any time grant a security interest in and lien on, all or any portion of its interests under this Series 2021-A Supplement, its Class A Note and each other Series 2021-A Related Document to (i) its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser, (ii) its Class A Funding Agent, (iii) any Class A Program Support Provider who, at any time now or in the future, provides program liquidity or credit enhancement, including an insurance policy for such Class A Conduit Investor relating to the Class A Commercial Paper or the Class A Notes, (iv) any other Person who, at any time now or in the future, provides liquidity or credit enhancement for the Class A Conduit Investors, including an insurance policy relating to the Class A Commercial Paper or the Class A Notes or (v) any collateral trustee or collateral agent for any of the foregoing; provided, however, any such security interest or lien shall be released upon assignment of its Class A Note to its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser. Each Class A Committed Note Purchaser may assign its Class A Commitment, or all or any portion of its interest under its Class A Note, this Series 2021-A Supplement and each other Series 2021-A Related Document to any Person with the prior written consent of HVF III, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that, HVF III may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion (and such withholding shall be deemed reasonable) to an assignment to any Person that is a Disqualified Party.
