(b)Additional Interest. If any interest payment on the Series 2020-1 Notes is not timely paid in full when due, the overdue interest will bear interest at the applicable Stated Rate, payable as Additional Interest to the extent permitted by applicable law at the times and subject to the priorities set forth in the Flow of Funds.

Such Marginal Interest due (if any) shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months and (ii) due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date on or after the Rapid Amortization Date.
Section 2.05 Principal Payments on the Series 2020-1 Notes. The Scheduled Principal Payment Amount calculated for the Series 2020-1 Notes for each Payment Date shall be payable to the Series 2020-1 Noteholders on each Payment Date from amounts deposited in the 2020-1 Series Account on such Payment Date as provided in (and subject to the provisions of) the Flow of Funds under the Master Indenture and Section 3.02 hereof. At any time that an Early Amortization Event or an Event of Default is then continuing, or if a Rapid Amortization Event with respect to the Series 2020-1 Notes has occurred, then, in addition to the foregoing, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2020-1 Notes shall be payable on each Payment Date to the extent that amounts are available for such purpose in accordance with the Flow of Funds and Section 3.02 hereof.
Section 2.06 Prepayment of Principal on the Series 2020-1 Notes. (a) No Class A Optional Redemption may occur prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date.
5
Subject to the restrictions in Sections 3.12 and 3.13 of the Master Indenture, the Issuer will have the option to prepay, in an Optional Redemption on any Payment Date occurring on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date (each such Payment Date, a “Class A Optional Redemption Date”), all of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Notes (such redemption, a “Class A Optional Redemption”), for the Redemption Price equal to the sum of (i) the amount of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Notes being redeemed on such Class A Optional Redemption Date, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) thereon to the Class A Optional Redemption Date, plus (iii) if occurring on or prior to the Payment Date in June 2022, a redemption premium (the “Redemption Premium”) calculated as follows:
The Redemption Premium will be an amount equal to the product of (x) a fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the amount of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Notes being redeemed and the denominator of which is the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class A Notes immediately prior to such redemption and (y) the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of the present values of all the scheduled payments of principal and interest based upon Scheduled Targeted Principal Balances of the Class A Notes from the Class A Optional Redemption Date to and including the Payment Date in June 2022 (assuming full prepayment on such date) discounted monthly to the Class A Optional Redemption Date at a rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%), based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, over (ii) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon.
For purposes of calculating the Redemption Premium, the term “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to each Class A Note, a per annum rate (expressed as a monthly equivalent and as a decimal and, in the case of United States Treasury bills, converted to a bond equivalent yield), determined to be the per annum rate equal to the monthly yield to maturity for United States Treasury securities maturing on the Average Life Date of such Class A Note, as determined by interpolation between the most recent weekly average yields to maturity for two series of United States Treasury securities, (i) one maturing as close as possible to, but earlier than, the Average Life Date of such Class A Note, and (ii) the other maturing as close as possible to, but later than, the Average Life Date of such Class A Note, as published in the most recent H.15(519) (or, if a weekly average yield to maturity of United States Treasury securities maturing on the Average Life Date of such Note is reported in the most recent H.15(519), as published in H.15(519)). “H.15(519)” means “Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates,” or any successor publication published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The most recent H.15(519) means the latest H.15(519) which is published prior to the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the scheduled prepayment date.
The term “Average Life Date” of each Class A Note shall be the date which follows the prepayment date by a period equal to the Remaining Weighted Average Life of such Class A Note. The “Remaining Weighted Average Life” of a Class A Note at the prepayment or determination date of such Class A Note shall be the
6
number of days equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the Scheduled Targeted Principal Balances for each remaining Payment Date (from the applicable Optional Redemption Date to and including the Payment Date in June 2022, assuming full prepayment on such Payment Date) by (ii) the number of days from and including the prepayment or determination date to but excluding the scheduled payment date of such principal payment, by (b) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Notes on such date of prepayment or determination.
(a)Subject to the restrictions in Sections 3.12 and 3.13 of the Master Indenture, the Issuer will have the option to prepay, in an Optional Redemption on any Payment Date occurring on or after the first Payment Date following the June 2022 Payment Date (each such Payment Date, a “Series 2020-1 Optional Redemption Date”) all of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2020-1 Notes, for the Redemption Price equal to (i) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2020-1 Notes, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Additional Interest, if any) to the Series 2020-1 Optional Redemption Date; provided, however, that such Redemption Price shall not include any Redemption Premium.
(b)Any Optional Redemption may be funded with funds in the Collections Account, with the proceeds of Additional Notes or with any other funds of the Issuer.
(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Redemption Premium will be due as a result of (i) any Permitted Discretionary Sales (the portion of which applied disposition proceeds to early repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2020-1 Notes), Redemption Dispositions and Scrap Value Dispositions which in the aggregate are less than 25% of the Adjusted Value of the Portfolio Railcars as of the Closing Date or (ii) any Involuntary Railcar Dispositions, Purchase Option Dispositions or Permitted Discretionary Sales (the portion of which applied disposition proceeds to be invested in replacement Railcars) or in respect of, or during, an Early Amortization Event or after the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Section 2.07 Manner of Payment.
