(e) If a Note Owner holding a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the corresponding 144A Global Note, or to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the corresponding 144A Global Note, such exchange or transfer may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures, only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(e).

(vi) The Series 2018-1 Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision of any other agreement.

(vii) The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until termination of this Series 2018-1 Supplement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the Series 2018-1 Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with Entitlement Orders or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Series 2018-1 Supplement will not enter into, any agreement with HVF II purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with Entitlement Orders or instructions (with the meaning of Section 9-104 of the New York UCC) as set forth in Section 4.3(b)(v); and
(viii) Except for the claims and interest of the Trustee and HVF II in the Series 2018-1 Accounts, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, the Series 2018-1 Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge of the assertion by any other person of any lien, encumbrance, or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Series 2018-1 Account or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Trustee, the Group I Administrator and HVF II thereof.
(c) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2018-1 Accounts and in all Proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate Entitlement Orders in respect of the Series 2018-1 Accounts.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or this Section 4.3 to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that as permitted by Section 8-504(c)(1) of the New York UCC, with respect to any Series 2018-1 Account, the Securities Intermediary may satisfy the duty in Section 8-504(a) of the New York UCC with respect
25
to any cash credited to such Series 2018-1 Account by crediting such Series 2018-1 Account a general unsecured claim against the Securities Intermediary, as a bank, payable on demand, for the amount of such cash.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or this Section 4.3 to the contrary, with respect to any Series 2018-1 Account and any credit balances not constituting Financial Assets credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary shall be acting as a bank (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) if such Series 2018-1 Account is deemed not to constitute a securities account.

Other than in connection with a reduction or forgiveness in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 4.4(b) or an increase in the stated amount of any Class A/B/C/D Demand Note, HVF II shall not agree to any amendment of any Class A/B/C/D Demand Note without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Controlling Class Series 2018-1 Noteholders.
Section 4.5. Subordination. The Series-Specific 2018-1 Collateral has been pledged to the Trustee to secure the Series 2018-1 Notes. For all purposes hereunder and for the avoidance of doubt, the Series-Specific 2018-1 Collateral and each Class A/B/C/D Letter of Credit will be held by the Trustee solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Series 2018-1 Notes, and no Noteholder of any Series of Notes other than the Series 2018-1 Notes will have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Series-Specific 2018-1 Collateral or any Class A/B/C/D Letter of Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, if it is determined that the Series 2018-1 Noteholders have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Group I Series-Specific Collateral with respect to any Series of Group I Notes other than Series 2018-1 Notes, then the Series 2018-1 Noteholders agree that their right, title and interest in, to or under such Group I Series-Specific Collateral shall be subordinate in all respects to the claims or rights of the Noteholders with respect to such other Series of Group I Notes, and in such case, this Series 2018-1 Supplement shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
