Each Series 2023-4 Noteholder and Note Owner of any Series 2023-4 Notes also acknowledges that the failure to provide information requested in connection with FATCA may cause HVF III to withhold on payments to such Series 2023-4 Noteholder (or Note Owner of such Series 2023-4 Notes) in accordance with applicable law. Any amounts withheld in order to comply with FATCA will not be grossed up and will be deemed to have been paid in respect of the relevant Series 2023-4 Notes.

If any Series 2023-4 Noteholder or Note Owner of a Series 2023-4 Note wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, HVF III, the Trustee or such other Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Person in providing readily available information so long as such Person agrees to reimburse HVF III, the Trustee or such Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation, nor relieve any obligation imposed under applicable law, on the part of HVF III, the Trustee or any other Paying Agent to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on their part or in respect of the Series 2023-4 Notes.

Section 4.5 Subordination. The Series-Specific 2023-4 Collateral has been pledged to the Trustee to secure the Series 2023-4 Notes. For all purposes hereunder and for the avoidance of doubt, the Series-Specific 2023-4 Collateral and each Class A/B/C/D Letter of Credit will be held by the Trustee solely for the benefit of the Noteholders of the Series 2023-4 Notes, and no Noteholder of any Series of Notes other than the Series 2023-4 Notes will have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Series-Specific 2023-4 Collateral or any Class A/B/C/D Letter of Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, if it is determined that the Series 2023-4 Noteholders have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Series-Specific Collateral with respect to any Series of Notes other than Series 2023-4 Notes, then the Series 2023-4 Noteholders agree that their right, title and interest in, to or under such Series-Specific Collateral shall be subordinate in all respects to the claims or rights of the Noteholders with respect to such other Series of Notes, and in such case, this Series 2023-4 Supplement shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 4.6 Duty of the Trustee. Except for actions expressly authorized by the Base Indenture or this Series 2023-4 Supplement, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the security interests created hereunder in any of the Series-Specific 2023-4 Collateral now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any of the Series-Specific 2023-4 Collateral now existing or hereafter created.
