In connection with any such Prepayment Notice, the Issuer shall provide a written report to the Trustee directing the Trustee to distribute such prepayment in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.6(k) of this Series Supplement. With respect to each such Series 2019-1 Prepayment, the related Prepayment Notice shall, in each case, specify (A) the Series 2019-1 Prepayment Date on which such prepayment shall be made, which in all cases shall be a Business Day, (B) the Series 2019-1 Prepayment Amount and (C) the Series 2019-1 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration Calculation Date on which the applicable Series 2019-1 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration, if any, to be paid in connection therewith shall be calculated. The Issuer shall have the option, by written notice to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Rating Agencies and the affected Noteholders, to withdraw, or amend the Series 2019-1 Prepayment Date set forth in, any Prepayment Notice relating to an optional prepayment at any time up to the second (2^nd) Business Day before the Series 2019-1 Prepayment Date set forth in such Prepayment Notice. Any such optional prepayment and Prepayment Notice may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control.

All Prepayment Notices shall be (i) transmitted by email to (A) each affected Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Noteholder to the extent such Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Noteholder has provided an email address to the Trustee and (B) to each of the Rating Agencies, the Servicer and the Trustee and (ii) sent by registered mail to each affected Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Noteholder. A Prepayment Notice may be revoked by the Issuer if the Trustee receives written notice of such revocation no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to such Series 2019-1 Prepayment Date. The Issuer shall give written notice of such revocation to the Servicer, and at the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall forward the notice of revocation to the Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Noteholders.

(ii) In the case of any Series 2019-1 Optional Scheduled Principal Payment, on the applicable Weekly Allocation Date the Issuer shall provide a written report to the Trustee directing the Trustee to distribute such prepayment in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.6(k) of this Series Supplement, which report shall specify (A) the Series 2019-1 Prepayment Date on which such prepayment shall be made, which in all cases shall be the next applicable Quarterly Payment Date, and (B) the Series 2019-1 Prepayment Amount.

On each Series 2019-1 Prepayment Date with respect to any Series 2019-1 Prepayment, the Series 2019-1 Prepayment Amount and the Series 2019-1 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration, if any, shall be due and payable. The Issuer shall pay the Series 2019-1 Prepayment Amount together with the applicable Series 2019-1 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration, if any, by, to the extent not already deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.6(f) of this Series Supplement, depositing such amounts in the applicable Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account on or prior to the related Series 2019-1 Prepayment Date to be distributed in accordance with Section 3.6(k) of this Series Supplement.

(b) On or before fifteen (15) Business Days following the last day of each Monthly Fiscal Period during the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Period, the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall deliver a Series 2019-1 Monthly Pre- Funding Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Back-Up Manager.

All amounts held in the Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Pre-Funding Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments at the written direction (which may be in the form of standing directions) of the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf), and such amounts may be transferred by the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) into an investment account for the sole purpose of investing in Eligible Investments so long as such investment account is (A) an Eligible Account, (B) pledged by the Issuer to the Trustee for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Base Indenture and (C) if not established with the Trustee, subject to an Account Control Agreement; provided that any such investment in the Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Pre-Funding Reserve Account (or in any such investment account) shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Weekly Allocation Date.

All income or other gain from such Eligible Investments shall be credited to the Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Pre-Funding Reserve Account, and any loss resulting from such Eligible Investments shall be charged to the Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Pre-Funding Reserve Account. The Issuer shall not direct (or permit) the disposal of any Eligible Investments prior to the maturity thereof if such disposal would result in a loss of any portion of the initial purchase price of such Eligible Investment. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Pre-Funding Reserve Account shall be deemed to be Investment Income on deposit for distribution to the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.10 of the Base Indenture.

(g) On each Quarterly Payment Date during the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Period, where on any related Quarterly Calculation Date the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) determines that there is a Senior Notes Interest Shortfall Amount, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture, the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall instruct the Trustee to make the following withdrawals from the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account and the Series 2019-1 Series Pre-Funding Reserve for deposit into the applicable Series Distribution Accounts: (i) from the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Account, an amount equal to the product of (A) the Senior Notes Interest Shortfall Amount and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount on deposit in the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Account as of such Quarterly Calculation Date and the denominator of which is the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Senior Notes as of such Quarterly Calculation Date and (ii) from the Senior Notes Interest Reserve an amount equal to the positive difference between (A) the Senior Notes Interest Shortfall Amount and (B) the amount determined pursuant to Section 3.7(g)(i).

Such letter of credit shall satisfy the Issuer’s requirement to maintain (i) funds in the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Account, or (ii) a letter of credit, or a combination thereof, in an aggregate amount equal to the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Amount. Such letter of credit shall not replace any pre-existing deposits or letters of credit in respect of required interest reserve amounts for the Series 2015-1 Notes, the Series 2016-1 Notes and Series 2018-1 Notes and shall be for the benefit of the Series 2019-1 Notes only. Where on any Quarterly Calculation Date the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) instructs the Trustee to withdraw funds from the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.7(g), such funds shall be drawn first, from amounts on deposit in the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Account and second, from amounts available to be drawn under the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Letter of Credit.

(i) Where on any Quarterly Calculation Date the amounts on the deposit in the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Account or available under the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Letter of Credit exceeds the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Amount, the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) may request a release of funds from the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Account or available under the Series 2019-1 Pre-Funding Reserve Letter of Credit, as applicable, to be deposited into the Collection Account to be allocated pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the immediately succeeding Weekly Allocation Date.
