(i) any Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser exceed an amount equal to the aggregate of the Series 2000-1 Adjusted Commitments at such time of the Series 2000-1 APA Banks in such Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser’s VFC Purchaser Group; or
(ii) any Series 2000-1 APA Bank exceed an amount equal to such Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s Series 2000-1 Adjusted Commitment at such time.

(i) all fundings with respect to the Series 2000-1 U.S. Dollar VFC Certificate and Series 2000-1 Purchaser U.S. Dollar Invested Amounts shall be allocated first to each Dollar Only VFC Purchaser Group to the extent necessary for each Dollar Only VFC Purchaser Group to be able to fund its respective VFC Pro Rata Share of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount (up to and limited to the extent of the amount of such Dollar funding); and
(ii) to the extent that after giving effect to clause (i) above: (A) the VFC Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to each VFC Purchaser Group is in accordance with its respective VFC Pro Rata Share, then the remaining amount of the requested Dollar funding shall be allocated among the VFC Purchaser Groups in accordance with their respective VFC Pro Rata Shares, and (B) the allocation of Dollar fundings pursuant to clause (i) above is not sufficient to result in the VFC Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to each VFC Purchaser Group to be in accordance with its respective VFC Pro Rata Share, then the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates and Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amounts shall be funded on a non pro rata basis, in each case subject to the limits set forth in Section 2.03(c).

(ii) (1) in respect of a Series 2000-1 U.S. Dollar VFC Certificate, such Series 2000-1 Decrease shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or the Series 2000-1 U.S. Dollar Invested Amount at such time or (2) in respect of a Series 2000-1 Euro VFC Certificate, such Series 2000-1 Decrease shall be in an amount equal to €1,000,000 and in integral multiples of €100,000 in excess thereof or the Series 2000-1 Euro Invested Amount at such time or (3) in respect of a Series 2000-1 Sterling VFC Certificate, such Series 2000-1 Decrease shall be in an amount equal to £1,000,000 and in integral multiples of £100,000 in excess thereof or the Series 2000-1 Sterling Invested Amount at such time; provided that with respect to any Series 2000-1 Decrease pursuant to Section 2.07(f) such Series 2000-1 Decrease shall be in a minimum amount for each relevant VFC Purchaser Group of $100,000, €100,000 or £100,000 (as applicable); and
(iii) no Series 2000-1 Decrease with respect to a Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx prior to the termination of the applicable Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Period may occur unless, concurrently with such Series 2000-1 Decrease, the Company shall have paid to the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxxx any amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 7.04.
Each distribution pursuant to this Section 2.07(a) shall be made by the Trustee distributing to each Funding Agent the amount of such Series 2000-1 Decrease allocable to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in such Funding Agent’s VFC Purchaser Group.
(b) Simultaneously with any such Series 2000-1 Decrease during the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period, the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Amount shall be reduced by an amount (the “Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Reduction Amount”) such that the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Amount shall equal the Series 2000-1 Required Subordinated Amount after giving effect to such Series 2000-1 Decrease. During the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period, after the distribution described in Section 2.07(a) has been made, and the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Amount shall have been reduced by the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Reduction Amount, a distribution shall be made, in accordance with Section 3A.03(b), by the Trustee to the holder of the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest out of remaining aggregate funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Principal Concentration Subaccounts in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Reduction Amount and (y) the amount of such remaining aggregate funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Principal Concentration Subaccount.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 2.07(a), the Funding Agents may, on or prior to the maturity date of any (i) Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche; (ii) Series 2000-1 Floating Tranche; or (iii) Series 2000-1 CP Tranche, by providing written notice to the Trustee and Master Servicer, elect to decrease, in whole or in part, the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount on the applicable maturity date in the amount specified in such notice. In accordance with any such notice, on the
16
maturity of the relevant tranches, the Trustee shall distribute, in accordance with Section 3A.03(b), for the pro rata benefit of the Series 2000-1 Purchasers (determined based on the amount their Series 2000-1 Purchaser U.S. Dollar Invested Amount, Series 2000-1 Purchaser Euro Invested Amount and/or Series 2000-1 Purchaser Sterling Invested Amount (as applicable) represents of the aggregate Series 2000-1 Invested Amount denominated in the applicable currency and Section 2.07(e)), of the aggregate funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Principal Concentration Subaccounts on such day in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of such aggregate funds on deposit in such subaccounts; and (ii) the decrease in the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount requested by the Funding Agents, plus all interest and fees payable with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise of such option by the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxxx shall not result in a reduction of the respective commitments of the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers or the commitments of any of the Series 2000-1 APA Banks pursuant to Section 2.08. If the Series 2000-1 Purchasers exercise their rights hereunder, so long as the Series 2000-1 Commitments are outstanding and any amount hereunder remains payable to any Series 2000-1 Purchaser, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers shall continue to have the benefit of the security interests created hereunder. Each distribution pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be made by the Trustee distributing to each Funding Agent the amount of such reduction (plus interest and fees payable with respect thereto) allocable to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in such Funding Agent’s VFC Purchaser Group.
(d) Subject to Section 2.07(e), any reduction in the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount with respect to a VFC Purchaser Group on any Business Day shall be allocated in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to reduce pro rata the portion of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount with respect to such VFC Purchaser Group allocated to Series 2000-1 CP Tranches and the Series 2000-1 Unallocated Balance, as appropriate; and
(ii) second, to reduce the portion of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount with respect to such VFC Purchaser Group allocated to Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranches in such order as the Master Servicer may select in order to minimize interest expenses and costs payable pursuant to Section 7.04.
Each distribution pursuant to this Section 2.07(d) shall be made by the Trustee distributing to each Funding Agent the amount of such reduction (plus interest and fees payable with respect thereto) allocable to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in such Funding Agent’s VFC Purchaser Group.
(e) Any decrease in the Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or (c) shall be allocated between the Series 2000-1 U.S. Dollar Invested Amount, the Series 2000-1 Euro Invested Amount and the Series 2000-1 Sterling Invested Amount as provided in the notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 2.07(a) or by the Funding Agents under Section 2.07(c).
17
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Series 2000-1 Decrease initiated pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 shall be implemented in accordance with this Section 2.07; provided that the provisions of this Section 2.07 shall be applied solely with respect to the relevant VFC Purchaser Group, mutatis mutandis, rather than to all VFC Purchaser Groups.
SECTION 2.08 Reductions of the Series 2000-1 Commitments.
(a) On any Distribution Date during the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Company and the Trust may, upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Funding Agents (with a copy to the Trustee), reduce or terminate the Series 2000-1 Commitments (a “Series 2000-1 Commitment Reduction”); provided that:
(i) in the case of a reduction, the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxx Commitment Amount may only be reduced in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and in the case of a termination, the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxx Commitment Amount and the Series 2000-1 Commitments shall each be terminated in their entirety; and
(ii) no such reduction or termination, as the case may be, shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any reduction in the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount (calculated without regard to clauses (c)(iv) and (v) of the definitions of Series 2000-1 Purchaser U.S. Dollar Invested Amount, Series 2000-1 Purchaser Euro Invested Amount and Series 2000-1 Purchaser Sterling Invested Amount (as applicable but with regard to clause (d) of the definition of Series 2000-1 Purchaser Euro Invested Amount and Series 2000-1 Purchaser Sterling Invested Amount)) on such date, the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount would exceed an amount equal to the Series 2000-1 Adjusted Aggregate Commitment Amount then in effect.
Each Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s Series 2000-1 Commitment shall be reduced pro rata by such Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s Series 2000-1 Adjusted Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Series 2000-1 Commitment Reduction.
(b) If the Series 2000-1 Amortization Period has commenced, the Series 2000-1 Maximum Invested Amount shall be reduced to the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount outstanding from time to time and each Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s Series 2000-1 Commitment shall be reduced by the product of (i) such Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage multiplied by (ii) of the amount of such reduction multiplied by (iii) the Applicable Liquidity Percentage.
(c) Each Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s Series 2000-1 Commitment shall be reduced by the product of (i) such Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage multiplied by (ii) the amount of any relevant principal reduction amount applied to the reduction of the Series 2000-1
18
Invested Amounts pursuant to Section 2.07(d) or 2.07(e) multiplied by (iii) the Applicable Liquidity Percentage.
(d) Once reduced or terminated as provided in this Section 2.08, the portion of the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxx Commitment Amount so reduced or terminated may not be subsequently reinstated. Upon effectiveness of any such reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall prepare a revised Schedule I of this Supplement to reflect the reduced or terminated Series 2000-1 Commitment of each Series 2000-1 APA Bank and Schedule I of this Supplement shall be deemed to be automatically superseded by such revised Schedule I. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such revised Schedule I to the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each Funding Agent. Concurrently therewith, each Funding Agent shall distribute a revised Annex I to the Series 2000-1 Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to its VFC Purchaser Group to the Company, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Trustee and each related Series 2000-1 APA Bank.
SECTION 2.09 Interest; Fees.
(a) Amounts in respect of interest on the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates shall be determined in accordance with Section 3A.04 and shall be payable on each Distribution Date or other applicable day pursuant to Section 3A.06(a).
(b) Prior to the Series 2000-1 Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers shall be entitled to receive a fee with respect to each Accrual Period (or portion thereof) payable on each Distribution Date during the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period (the “Series 2000-1 Unused Fee”). The Series 2000-1 Unused Fee shall accrue on each day during such Accrual Period in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Series 2000-1 Unused Fee Rate, times (ii) the amount by which the average of the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxx Commitment Amount during such Accrual Period exceeds the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount of the related VFC Purchaser Group on such day. The Series 2000-1 Unused Fee shall be determined in accordance with Section 3A.04 and be payable on a pro rata basis (based on the amount which the then applicable Series 2000-1 Invested Amount owned by the relevant Series 2000-1 Purchaser represents of the then applicable Series 2000-1 Invested Amount owned by all Series 2000-1 Purchasers) to each Funding Agent for the benefit of the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser in its related VFC Purchaser Group or the Series 2000-1 APA Banks in such related VFC Purchaser Group as part of the Series 2000-1 Monthly Interest on each Distribution Date during the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period. The Trustee shall not be liable for the payment of the Series 2000-1 Unused Fee from its own funds.
(c) Each Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a fee with respect to each Accrual Period (or portion thereof) payable on each Distribution Date during the period prior to the occurrence of a Conduit Purchaser Termination Event with respect to such Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser (the “Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee”). The Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee shall accrue on each day during such Accrual Period in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee Rate,
19
times (ii) the aggregate of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount funded by the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers on such day. The Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee shall be determined in accordance with Section 3A.04 and be payable on a pro rata basis (based on the amount which the then applicable Series 2000-1 Invested Amount owned by the relevant Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser represents of the then applicable Series 2000-1 Invested Amount owned by all Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers) to each Funding Agent for the benefit of the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser in its related VFC Purchaser Group as part of the Series 2000-1 Monthly Interest on each Distribution Date prior to the occurrence of a Conduit Purchaser Termination Event with respect to such Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser. The Trustee shall not be liable for the payment of the Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee from its own funds.
(d) Calculations of per annum rates under this Supplement shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year with respect to interest rates except with respect to interest rates based on ABR or the calculation of interest with respect to the Series 2000-1 Sterling Invested Amount, each of which shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 365 (or 366, as the case may be) day year. Each Funding Agent shall provide an initial notice of the inclusion of Mandatory Costs in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate promptly after such Funding Agent becomes aware of such condition; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect or limit the right to include Mandatory Costs in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate. Each determination of Eurocurrency Rate including (if applicable) any Mandatory Costs by each Funding Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error.
SECTION 2.10 Indemnification by Huntsman International and the Company.
(a) Without limiting any other rights that the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers or the Series 2000-1 APA Banks may have under this Supplement, the Pooling Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or under applicable law, each of Huntsman International and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers and the Series 2000-1 APA Banks and any of their respective agents, officers, directors, employees, and agents (each a “Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Series 2000-1 Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs, penalties, judgments and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Series 2000-1 Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them in connection with the entering into and performance of this Supplement or any of the Transaction Documents by any of the Series 2000-1 Indemnified Parties, excluding, however, any amounts that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party; provided that in no event shall Huntsman International be required to make any indemnity payments resulting from the lack of performance or collectibility of the Receivables owned by the
20
Company (unless such loss results from a breach of representation or undertaking by Huntsman International or one of its Affiliates with respect to any such Receivable).
(b) In case any proceeding by any Person shall be instituted involving any Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 2.10(a), such Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Huntsman International and the Company and the Company and Huntsman International, upon request of such Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel satisfactory to such Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party to represent such Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at the expense of Huntsman International and the Company. Except as set forth herein, it is understood that neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall, in respect of the legal expenses of any Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Series 2000-1 Indemnified Parties and all other parties indemnified by the Company under this Supplement, the Series 2000-1 Asset Purchase Agreements or any other Transaction Document.
(c) Any payments to be made by Huntsman International and the Company pursuant to this Section shall be, without restriction, due and payable from Huntsman International and the Company, jointly and severally, and shall with respect to amounts owing from the Company be (i) Company Subordinated Obligations, (ii) be made solely from funds available to the Company that are not required to be applied to Company Unsubordinated Obligations then due and (iii) not constitute a general recourse claim against the Company, but only a claim payable after the satisfaction of all Company Unsubordinated Obligations then due, except to the extent that funds are available (including funds available to the Company pursuant to the exercise of its right to indemnity and other payments pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 8.02 (or equivalent sections) of the Origination Agreements) to the Company to make such payments.
SECTION 2.11 Inability to Determine Eurocurrency Rate.
If, prior to the first day on which any Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx commences:
(a) any Funding Agent shall have determined or shall have been notified (which determination or notification, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurocurrency Rate for such Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche; or
(b) any Funding Agent shall have received notice from one or more related Series 2000-1 APA Banks that the applicable Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche will not adequately
21
and fairly reflect the cost to such Series 2000-1 APA Bank (as conclusively certified by such Series 2000-1 APA Bank(s)) of purchasing or maintaining its/their affected portions of relevant Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranches during the related Settlement Period;
then, in either such event, such Funding Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof (confirmed in writing) to the Company, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Trustee and the Series 2000-1 APA Banks as soon as practicable (but, in any event, within forty-five (45) days after such determination or notice, as applicable) thereafter. Upon delivery of such notice and until such notice has been withdrawn by such Funding Agent, no further Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx shall be made in the relevant currency or currencies. Each Funding Agent agrees to withdraw any such notice as soon as reasonably practicable after such Funding Agent is notified of a change in circumstances which makes such notice inapplicable.
SECTION 2.12 Series 2000-1 FX Hedging Agreements.
The Trustee shall at all times comply with the FX Hedging Policy set forth in Schedule 6 of the Pooling Agreement.
SECTION 2.13 Notices, Reports, Directions by Master Servicer.
Any information, notice or report to be delivered by, or any instructions, requests, demands, elections or directions to be given by, the Master Servicer under this Supplement is, unless otherwise indicated, being delivered or given by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement, this Supplement and the Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 2.14 Optional Termination by the Company.
(a) On any Business Day, the Master Servicer may require the Trustee to cause the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period to terminate on the date (the “Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date”) set forth in an irrevocable written notice (the “Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Notice”) delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee (which date, in any event, shall not be less than (i) thirty (30) days after the date on which such notice is delivered or (ii) as otherwise provided in Section 2.14(d)). Following the occurrence of the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, no amounts deposited in the Series 2000-1 Principal Collection Subaccount will be distributed to the Company until the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount is paid in full. To the extent allocated funds are available therefore, payments of principal on the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates will commence on the Distribution Date next succeeding the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date and will be made on each Distribution Date thereafter until the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount is paid in full or the Participation Assets allocated to the Series 2000-1 Interests have been depleted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount may, on (i) any Distribution Date on or after the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, be paid in full out of the proceeds of the issuance of a new Series of Investor Certificates issued in accordance with Section 5.11 of the Pooling Agreement, together with (if applicable) funds available in the Series 2000-1 Principal Collection Subaccount or (ii) the
22
Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, be paid in full in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.14(b) through Section 2.14(h). The Trustee shall give prompt notice of its receipt of a Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Notice under this Section 2.14(a) to the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificateholders (in the form and at the location specified by such VFC Certificateholder or the Trustee).
(b) In connection with the consummation of the acquisition of control of the Parent Company by Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc. (the “Hexion Acquisition”), on any Business Day, the Master Servicer may require the Trustee to cause the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period to terminate on the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date on the terms set forth in Section 2.14(b) through Section 2.14(h). The Master Servicer may initiate, on a preliminary basis, procedures for a Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date by delivering to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent a written notice (an “Initiation Notice”) by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) specifying a potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date (a “Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date”) which date shall not be less than one (1) Business Day after the date on which such notice is delivered. Each Funding Agent (on behalf of itself and the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in its VFC Purchaser Group) and the Administrative Agent shall, by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of receipt of such notice, notify the Company, the Contributor and the Master Servicer of the amount (determined in accordance with the definition of Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts) estimated to pay in full all Company Obligations owing to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers, the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Trustee (the “Series 2000-1 Finance Parties”) as if such amounts were paid on such Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date (collectively, the “Estimated Payoff Amount”). If the Hexion Acquisition does not occur, for any reason, on a Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, but is expected to occur after such Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, then, (i) if the following Business Day is not a Renotification Date, the following Business Day will be deemed to be the new Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date without any further notice and (ii) if the following Business Day is a Renotification Date, then the Master Servicer will deliver a written notice specifying a new Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date (an “Extension Notice”), which shall take into account the related CP Tranche Maturity Date; provided that if the Master Servicer does not deliver such written notice, the Funding Agent shall determine the new CP Tranche Maturity Date at its discretion. Any Extension Notice may only be given, and any Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date designated pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 2.14(b) through Section 2.14(h) may occur only, on a Business Day falling within ten (10) calendar days following the date on which the Master Servicer has delivered the related Initiation Notice or, if such tenth day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day (such period, the “Initiation Period”); provided that if no Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date has occurred during an Initiation Period, the Master Servicer may give a new Initiation Notice on the last Business Day of such Initiation Period or any Business Day following the end of the most recently ended Initiation Period; provided, further, that the Master Servicer may only give a
23
total of three (3) Initiation Notices unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Master Servicer, the Company and the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties.
In connection with each new Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date coinciding with the expected date of the consummation of the Hexion Acquisition, each Series 2000-1 Finance Party will provide, if necessary, revised Estimated Payoff Amounts. If the Master Servicer has knowledge that the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date will not occur on the following Business Day, it shall deliver to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent a written notice (x) electing to suspend the procedures which would result in each succeeding Business Day becoming a Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date and (y) designating another Business Day within the relevant Initiation Period as a Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date and the obligation of the Funding Agents to provide revised Estimated Payment Amounts shall be suspended until the Business Day immediately preceding such designated Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.14, the Master Servicer shall continue to deliver such notices as may be required under Section 2.05 and Section 2.07 to increase or decrease the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount until the occurrence of the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date.
(c) For purposes of this Section 2.14:
(i) “Renotification Date” means 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day that is three (3) Business Days prior to a related CP Tranche Maturity Date; and
(ii) “CP Tranche Maturity Date” means each date designated by notice to the Master Servicer from the Funding Agent for a VFC Purchaser Group as the Business Day upon which Commercial Paper notes issued by the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser in the relevant VFC Purchaser Group (or related swap agreements) are anticipated to mature in amounts equal to or greater than the Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount for such Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser.
(d) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.14(a), if, on or prior to 3:00 p.m. (London time), on the Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date the applicable Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts (as defined below) are paid to the Trustee and the Funding Agents: (i) the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount and all other outstanding Company Obligations shall be paid to the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties from the proceeds of the Hexion Prepayment Amount (as defined below) and not from funds provided by the Contributor or the Company; (ii) the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have given the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Notice on such date; (iii) such date shall be deemed to be the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date; and (iv) the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period shall automatically terminate on such Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date. Each Funding Agent shall give prompt notice of its receipt of any notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 2.14(b) or Section 2.14(d) to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in its VFC Purchaser Group.
24
(e) The “Hexion Prepayment Amount” shall be an amount paid to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents, equal to the amount, calculated by each of Administrative Agent, the Trustee and the Funding Agents to pay in full all Company Obligations owing to the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties as if such payment were received by them on or prior to 3:00 p.m. (London Time) one (1) Business Day after the relevant Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date. The Hexion Prepayment Amount for each Series 2000-1 Purchaser will be an estimate of the sum (without duplication) of the aggregate: (i) Series 2000-1 Daily Euro Interest Expense, Series 2000-1 Daily Dollar Interest Expense and Series 2000-1 Daily Sterling Interest Expense (as applicable) anticipated to accrue through the relevant CP Tranche Maturity Date (including (A) Series 2000-1 Unused Fee through the relevant CP Tranche Maturity Date and (B) Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee through the relevant Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date); and (ii) such other amounts due and owing to the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and the Series 2000-1 Supplement, including the applicable Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount (collectively, the “Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts”). The Hexion Prepayment Amount for the Trustee shall be deemed to be the monthly fee of USD 4,583.33 payable to the Trustee. The Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts shall be paid to the accounts of the applicable parties pursuant to payment instructions provided by the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties (which may be set forth in any notice of Estimated Payoff Amounts).
(f) The Company, the Contributor and the Master Servicer hereby acknowledge that the Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts specified in any notice which is given pursuant to Section 2.14(e) are only an estimate of the amounts which are payable to the respective Series 2000-1 Finance Parties. The Contributor and the Master Servicer hereby acknowledge and agree that if any such Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts are insufficient to pay in full the amount of all Company Obligations which are or will be payable to any Series 2000-1 Finance Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then the Contributor or the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the relevant Series 2000-1 Finance Party an amount equal to any such deficiency within (2) Business Days after written demand therefor. The Contributor and the Master Servicer hereby acknowledge and agree that any amount payable pursuant to the preceding sentence may include any additional cost of funds incurred by a Series 2000-1 Finance Party for funding any such deficiency. Each Series 2000-1 Finance Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that if any Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts paid to it from the proceeds of the Hexion Prepayment Amount are, in its reasonable determination, in excess of amounts necessary to pay in full the amount of all Company Obligations which are or will be payable to such Series 2000-1 Finance Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then such Series 2000-1 Finance Party shall pay to the Person(s) designated by the Master Servicer an amount equal to such excess within two (2) Business Days after the final application of the proceeds of the Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts.
(g) Upon receipt of the Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts on the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, each Funding Agent (on behalf of itself and the
25
Series 2000-1 Purchasers in its VFC Purchaser Group) and the Administrative Agent shall send written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, on or prior to 4:00 p.m. (London time) on such day, to the Trustee (with a copy to each other) confirming receipt of such amounts. Upon receipt by the Trustee of such notice with respect to each Series 2000-1 Finance Party, the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to deliver a release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Release Agreement”) on such Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Supplement or the Agreement, the payment of Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts to the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties in accordance with Section 2.14(b) through Section 2.14(h) shall be deemed to be a final distribution pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Agreement with respect to the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates and the termination provisions of the Pooling Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly.
(h) The Master Servicer and the Contributor hereby agree to indemnify each Series 2000-1 Finance Party and each of their respective directors, officers, managers and employees (each an “Indemnified Person”) against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Series 2000-1 Supplement and the Release Agreement) that such Indemnified Person may on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person, pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Series 2000-1 Supplement and the Release Agreement, whether such losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses are paid or incurred before, on or after the date hereof, excluding, however, any amounts that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Person.
SECTION 2.15 Mandatory Reduction in Series 2000-1 Invested Amount
On each Commitment Confirmation Date, the Master Servicer shall determine if the aggregate Series 2000-1 Invested Amount for each VFC Purchaser Group (determined in U.S. Dollars) exceeds the aggregate Series 2000-1 Adjusted Commitment in relation to the Series 2000-1 APA Banks in such VFC Purchaser Group (a “VFC Excess Exposure”). If a VFC Excess Exposure exists with respect to a VFC Purchaser Group, the Master Servicer shall, on the relevant Commitment Confirmation Date, make a Series 2000-1 Decrease in an amount equal or greater than such VFC Excess Exposure with respect only to such VFC Purchaser Group but otherwise in accordance with Section 2.07(f) and the other provisions of Section 2.07 which apply thereto pursuant to Section 2.07(f); provided that this Section 2.15 shall not affect or limit the ability otherwise to initiate Series 2000-1 Decreases pursuant to Section 2.07.
SECTION 2.16 Allocations Among VFC Purchaser Groups
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Supplement which provide that the Series 2000-1 Initial Invested Amount, Series 2000-1 Increases and Series 2000-1 Decreases be allocated among VFC Purchaser Groups pro rata in accordance with the VFC Pro Rata Shares and VFC Currency Pro Rata Shares (the “Pro Rata Rules”), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that allocations in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules may be impractical to achieve
26
and agree that the Master Servicer shall take reasonable efforts to comply with the Pro Rata Rules requirements set forth in this Supplement subject to the following conditions:
(i) the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to allocate Series 2000-1 Increases and Series 2000-1 Decreases among the VFC Purchaser Groups in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules but in any event shall not make any allocation after which, giving effect thereto, any VFC Purchaser Group’s Series 2000-1 Invested Amount would be more than $15,000,000 (or the U.S. Dollar equivalent of any other currency as determined at the Spot Rate) above or below the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount which would apply in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules (an “Excess Deviation”); provided that (1) if at any time an Excess Deviation does exist with respect to a VFC Purchaser Group, the Master Servicer shall within three (3) Business Days after the date on which such Excess Deviation first occurred, provide notice thereof to the Funding Agents, and upon receipt of a request by any Funding Agent related to a VFC Purchaser Group with respect to which such Excess Deviation exists, shall within three (3) Business Days after such request, make a Series 2000-1 Decrease in an amount which is sufficient to eliminate such Excess Deviation with respect to such VFC Purchaser Group; in accordance with Section 2.07(f) and the other provisions of Section 2.07 which apply thereto pursuant to Section 2.07(f); and (2) any VFC Purchaser Group may waive the right to request a Series 2000-1 Decrease under this provision; and
(ii) on each day upon which any Series 2000-1 CP Tranche matures, the Master Servicer shall initiate a Series 2000-1 Increase and/or a Series 2000-1 Decrease which will be allocated among VFC Purchaser Groups in a manner which is consistent with the Pro Rata Rules so that after giving effect to such allocations the Series 2000-1 Invested Amounts are allocated among the VFC Purchaser Groups so that the Series 2000-1 Invested Amounts are allocated approximately in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules;
provided that it is understood that the Master Servicer shall not be obliged to take actions to adjust the Series 2000-1 Invested Amounts in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules as required by the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) if the reason such adjustment is required is due to the Series 2000-1 U.S. Dollar Invested Amount being in amount which is not sufficient to allocate to the Dollar Only VFC Purchaser Group in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules.

SECTION 6.01 Servicing Compensation.
A monthly servicing fee (the “Series 2000-1 Monthly Servicing Fee”) shall be payable to the Master Servicer on each Distribution Date for the preceding Settlement Period, in an amount equal to the product of (a) the Servicing Fee and (b) a fraction, the numerator of
48
which shall be equal to the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount as of the end of the preceding Settlement Period and the denominator of which shall be equal to the sum of (1) the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxx Commitment Amount and (2) the sum of the Invested Amounts for all other Outstanding Series, each calculated as of the end of such preceding Settlement Period. To the extent that funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Non-Principal Concentration Subaccounts at any such date are insufficient to pay the Series 2000-1 Monthly Servicing Fee due on such date as set forth in the Monthly Settlement Report delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the Trustee shall so notify the Master Servicer and the Company, and the Company will be obligated to immediately pay the Master Servicer the amount of any such deficiency; provided that any payments to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section shall (i) be Company Subordinated Obligations, (ii) be made solely from funds available to the Company that are not required to be applied to Company Unsubordinated Obligations then due and (iii) not constitute a general recourse claim against the Company but only a claim against the Company, to the extent of funds available after the satisfaction of all Company Unsubordinated Obligations then due; provided, further, that the Series 2000-1 Monthly Servicing Fee payable to a Successor Master Servicer (which will be payable to the Liquidation Servicer in accordance with the preceding sentence) will not be a Company Subordinated Obligation and shall also be payable from the application of funds from the Series 2000-1 Non-Principal Concentration Subaccounts in accordance with Section 3A.06(b).

ARTICLE VII
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
SECTION 7.01 Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxx Date, or with respect to any Person becoming a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or a Series 2000-1 APA Bank subsequent to the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxx Date, after the new date such Person became a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or a Series 2000-1 APA Bank, as applicable (the “Series 2000-1 Acquisition Date”), the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank to make or maintain its portion of the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificateholder’s Interest in any Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche and such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, as applicable, shall provide written notice to its Funding Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Company, then effective upon the commencement of the next Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Period, or immediately if it shall be unlawful for such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank to make or maintain its portion of the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificateholder’s Interest in any Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche to the end of the applicable Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Period, Series 2000-1 Daily U.S. Dollar Interest Expense, Series 2000-1 Daily Euro Interest Expense and Series 2000-1 Daily Sterling Interest Expense in respect of the portion of each Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche applicable to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall until the foregoing notice is withdrawn by such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank be calculated by
49
reference to the ABR (such calculation shall be performed by the Administrative Agent and in the absence of manifest error shall be binding and conclusive). If any such change in the method of calculating the Series 2000-1 Daily U.S. Dollar Interest Expense, Series 2000-1 Daily Euro Interest Expense or Series 2000-1 Daily Sterling Interest Expense occurs on a day which is not the last day of the Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Period with respect to any Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche, the Company shall pay to the applicable Funding Agent for the account of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank the amounts (if any) as may be required pursuant to Section 7.04.
SECTION 7.02 Requirements of Law.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxx Date the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made (i) as to any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank that is a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank on the date hereof, subsequent to the date hereof or (ii) as to any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank that becomes a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank after the date hereof, subsequent to the Series 2000-1 Acquisition Date:
(i) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank in respect of the Transaction Documents; and
(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank by an amount which such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank deems in its reasonable judgment to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company will pay to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduced amount receivable other than amounts with respect to Taxes for which the Company is held harmless pursuant to Section 7.03 and without duplication of any amounts for which the Company is obligated to make payment under Section 7.03.
(b) If any Series 2000-1 Purchaser which is a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal, state or foreign
50
banking or depository institution authorities or Series 2000-1 APA Bank (i) that is a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, as the case may be, on the date hereof shall have determined that the adoption after the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxx Date of or any change after the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxx Date or (ii) that becomes a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, as the case may be, after the date hereof shall have determined that the adoption after the Series 2000-1 Acquisition Date of, or any change after the Series 2000-1 Acquisition Date, in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank or any corporation controlling such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (with respect to any Series 2000-1 Purchaser which is a banking institution) (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s, such Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s or such corporation’s capital (with respect to any Series 2000-1 Purchaser which is a banking institution) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under the Transaction Documents to a level below that which such Series 2000-1 Purchaser, such Series 2000-1 APA Bank or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s, such Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank in its reasonable judgment to be material, then from time to time, the Company will promptly pay to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank for such reduction suffered.
(c) Any payments to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section shall (i) be Company Subordinated Obligations, (ii) be made solely from funds available to the Company that are not required to be applied to Company Unsubordinated Obligations then due and (iii) until the date that is one year and one day after payment in full of the Company Unsubordinated Obligations, not constitute a general recourse claim against the Company after satisfying all Company Unsubordinated Obligations then due at any time during the period of one year and one day following the date on which all Company Unsubordinated Obligations have been paid in full, except to the extent that funds are available (including funds available to the Company pursuant to the exercise of its right to indemnity and other payments pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 8.02 of the Origination Agreements) to the Company to make such payments.
(d) If any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Section (a) or (b) above, it shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate setting forth (i) any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section and (ii) a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation of such amount or amounts submitted by such
51
Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank to the Company (with a copy to each Funding Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Pooling Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.
(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall not constitute a waiver of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s or Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company will not be required to compensate a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank pursuant to this Section 7.02 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank notifies the Company of the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such increase costs or reductions and of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s or Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 7.03 Taxes.
(a) All payments made by the Company under this Supplement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, excluding (i) any income, franchise, branch profits or similar taxes imposed on or measured by the net income (or in lieu of net income) of either Funding Agent, any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or any Series 2000-1 APA Bank by (A) the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (B) any jurisdiction under the laws of which such Funding Agent, such Series 2000-1 Purchaser, such Series 2000-1 APA Bank or such lending office is organized, incorporated, resident or citizen, or in which its lending office is located, managed or controlled or in which its principal office is located or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (ii) for any Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1 Participants, taxes to the extent that they were Series 2000-1 Excluded Taxes (as defined below) with respect to such person’s predecessor or to the extent the taxes were Series 2000-1 Excluded Taxes as a result of the breach (including a breach of warranty), willful misconduct or gross negligence of such predecessor, (iii) taxes imposed as a result of any Funding Agent’s, Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s, Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s, Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser’s or Series 2000-1 Participant’s (and not its predecessor’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct and (iv) for any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof, any United States withholding tax to the extent existing on the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxx Date and not otherwise exempt after such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank has complied with Section 7.03(b) (the Taxes referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) – (iv) individually or collectively being called “Series 2000-1 Excluded Taxes” and any and all other Taxes, collectively or individually, being called “Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded
52
Taxes”). Subject to Section 7.03(b), if any such Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to either Funding Agent or any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or any Series 2000-1 APA Bank hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Funding Agent or such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or such Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after all required deductions have been made in respect of Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.03(a)) to such Funding Agent, such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or such Series 2000-1 APA Banks, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the amount which would have been due had no such deductions been made. Whenever any Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Company shall send to the relevant Funding Agent for its own account or for the account of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, as the case may be, a certified copy of any original official receipt received by the Company showing payment thereof or any other proof reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent. In addition, the Company agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or similar charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made under the Pooling Agreement, this Supplement or the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, the Pooling Agreement, this Supplement, or the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates (collectively, “Series 2000-1 Other Taxes”). The Company agrees to indemnify each of the Funding Agents, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers and the Series 2000-1 APA Banks for the full amount of any Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes and Series 2000-1 Other Taxes paid by either Funding Agent or any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or any Series 2000-1 APA Bank (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto other than any penalties, interest or expense to the extent arising from the failure of such Funding Agent, such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank to pay such Taxes or Series 2000-1 Other Taxes on a timely basis. The relevant Funding Agent shall provide immediate notice to the Company after receipt of a demand for payment of Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes and Series 2000-1 Other Taxes. If the Company fails to pay any Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the applicable Funding Agent the required receipts or any other proof reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent, the Company will indemnify such Funding Agent, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers and the Series 2000-1 APA Banks for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Funding Agent or any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or any Series 2000-1 APA Bank as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the repayment of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b) Each Series 2000-1 Purchaser and each Series 2000-1 APA Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof or the District of Columbia shall:
53
(i) deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Trustee and the related Funding Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8IMY, or successor applicable form and such other forms, certificates and documentation as may be necessary or appropriate to establish, in each case, that it is entitled to receive payments from the Company without a deduction for U.S. federal withholding tax or with a deduction at a reduced rate. In the case of a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank that provides an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall either (i) claim the benefit of a treaty that provides for a complete exemption from United States withholding tax for payments of interest or (ii) claim the benefit of the U.S. “portfolio interest exemption” by also providing a certification that is not a “bank” making a loan under this Supplement in the ordinary course of its business within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or a person related to the Company in a manner described in Sections 871(h)(3)(B), 881(c)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. If a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank that provides an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN is unable to claim a complete exemption from the United States withholding tax because of a change in law after the date such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank became a party to this Supplement, the Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank will be treated as satisfying the requirements of this Section 7.03(b)(i), as the case may be;
(ii) deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (a) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (b) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the related Funding Agent and (c) at the request of the Master Servicer, the Company, the Trustee or the related Funding Agent; and
(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the related Funding Agent;
unless any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to, and is in effect on, the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which would prevent such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank so advises the Company and the related Funding Agent. Each Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall certify to the Company, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent at the time it first becomes a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, and thereafter to the extent provided by law, (i) all such forms are true and complete, (ii) that it is entitled to receive payments under this Supplement without, or
54
at a reduced rate of, withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (iii) that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Person that shall become a Series 2000-1 Purchaser, a Series 2000-1 APA Bank or a Series 2000-1 Participant pursuant to Section 11.10 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide to the Company, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Master Servicer and the related Funding Agent all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section, provided that in the case of a Series 2000-1 Participant such Series 2000-1 Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank from which the related participation shall have been purchased and such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall provide such forms to the Company with a duly executed Form W-8IMY and withholding statement. If the Company or the Trustee has not received the forms set forth in Section 7.03(b)(i) hereof, the Company or the Trustee shall withhold taxes from such payment at the applicable statutory rate and shall not be obliged to make increased payments under Section 7.03(a) hereof until such forms or other documents are delivered.
(c) Each Series 2000-1 Purchaser and each Series 2000-1 APA Bank that is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Trustee and the related Funding Agent two duly completed copies of the United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor applicable form.
(d) The Company is not required to make any payment under Section 7.03(a) to the extent such payment would be due as the result of the relevant Funding Agent, Series 2000-1 Purchaser, Series 2000-1 APA Bank, Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser of Series 2000-1 Participant not providing the forms required by Section 7.03(b)(i), or 7.03(b)(ii).
(e) If the Company makes a payment under Section 7.03(a) (a “Tax Payment”) in respect of a payment to any Funding Agent, Series 2000-1 Purchaser, Series 2000-1 APA Bank, Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1 Participant under this Supplement and such person determines in good faith that it has obtained a refund of tax or obtained and used a credit against tax on its overall net income (a “Tax Credit”) which such person acting reasonably is able to identify as attributable to that Tax Payment, then provided such person has received all amounts which are then due and payable by the Company, such person shall reimburse the Company such amount as such person determines acting reasonably to be such proportion of that Tax Credit as will leave such person (after that reimbursement) in no better or worse position than it would have been in if no Tax Payment had been required.

(a) default by the Company in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx after irrevocable notice requesting the same has been given in accordance with the Section 2.05(a);

(b) Any Series 2000-1 Purchaser (x) may at any time, upon the consent of the related Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser and the related Funding Agent, and (y) shall, upon the request of the related Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser and the related Funding Agent, in the event that a Series 2000-1 Purchaser that is a Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall cease to have short term debt ratings of at least “A-1” by S&P and at least “P-1” by Xxxxx’x, or, if such Series 2000-1 APA Bank does not have short term debt which is rated by S&P and Xxxxx’x, in the event the parent corporation of such Series 2000-1 APA Bank has rated short term debt, such parent corporation ceases to have short term debt ratings of at least “A-1” by S&P and at least “P-1” by Xxxxx’x, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (any such assignee shall be referred to herein as “Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser”) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Supplement and the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that:
(i) the amount of the Series 2000-1 Commitment of the assigning Series 2000-1 APA Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the related Funding Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s Series 2000-1 Commitment);
(ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent a Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, together with, in the case of any assignment to a Person other than an Eligible Assignee (excluding clause (B) of the definition thereof), a processing and recordation fee payable to the Administrative Agent of $3,500;

81
to the obligations of the Company or such Affiliate pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof, in which instance Company consent would be required (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld). Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 11.10(e), from and after the applicable Series 2000-1 Transfer Effective Date (A) the Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Series 2000-1 Purchaser under this Supplement and (B) the assigning Series 2000-1 Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Supplement and the other Transaction Documents (and, in the case of a Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s rights and obligations under this Supplement and the other Transaction Documents, such Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.04 and 11.05, as well as to any fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).
(c) By executing and delivering a Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement, the assigning Series 2000-1 APA Bank thereunder and the Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i) such assigning Series 2000-1 Purchaser warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Series 2000-1 Commitment and the outstanding balances of the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates being assigned, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement;
(ii) except as set forth in sub-clause (i) above, such assigning Series 2000-1 Purchaser makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Supplement or any other Transaction Document, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Supplement, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the financial condition of any Originator, the Master Servicer or the Company or the performance or observance by any Originator, the Master Servicer or the Company of any of their respective obligations under this Supplement, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto;
(iii) such Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement;
(iv) such Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser confirms that it has received a copy of this Supplement or any other Transaction Document and such
82
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement;
(v) such Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, either Funding Agent, the Trustee, the assigning Series 2000-1 Purchaser or any other Series 2000-1 Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Supplement or any other Transaction Document;
(vi) such Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent and the Trustee to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Supplement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent and the Trustee, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and
(vii) such Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser agrees that it will perform in accordance with its terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Supplement are required to be performed by it as a Series 2000-1 Purchaser.
(d) Notwithstanding and in addition to the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Series 2000-1 Purchaser, and the Series 2000-1 Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate issued to, the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificateholder and each Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate Interest allocated to each Series 2000-1 Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Series 2000-1 Register”). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.06 of the Pooling Agreement, the entries in the Series 2000-1 Register as provided in this Section 11.10(d) shall be conclusive and the Company, the Master Servicer, the Series 2000-1 Purchaser, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Administrative Agent, the related Funding Agent and the Trustee shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Series 2000-1 Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Series 2000-1 Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Supplement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. However, in accordance with Section 5.06 of the Pooling Agreement, in determining whether the holders of the requisite Fractional Undivided Interests have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, any Investor Certificate owned by the Company, the Master Servicer, the Servicer Guarantor, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only an Investor Certificate which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Any Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate
83
owned by the Company, the Master Servicer, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof which has been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded and may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Investor Certificate and that the pledgee is not the Company, the Master Servicer, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof. The Series 2000-1 Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Master Servicer, any Originator, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers and the Trustee, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by an assigning Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, as applicable, and a Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser (unless the Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser shall already be a Series 2000-1 Purchaser hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.10(b) above, (i) the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent shall accept such Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Series 2000-1 Register and (iii) the related Funding Agent shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Series 2000-1 Purchaser, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee. No assignment shall be effective unless and until it has been recorded in the Series 2000-1 Register as provided in this Section 11.10(e).
(f) Any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (the “Series 2000-1 Participants”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Supplement and the other Transaction Documents (including all or a portion of its Series 2000-1 Commitment and its Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate Interest); provided, however, that:
(i) such Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s or Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s obligations under this Supplement shall remain unchanged;
(ii) such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;
(iii) the Series 2000-1 Participants shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04, and shall be required to provide the tax forms and certifications described in Section 7.03(b), to the same extent as if they were Series 2000-1 Purchasers or Series 2000-1 APA Banks; provided that no such Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, as applicable, would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation sold by such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank to such Series 2000-1 Participant had no sale occurred;
84
(iv) the Company, the Master Servicer, the other Series 2000-1 Purchasers, the Series 2000-1 APA Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Trustee shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank in connection with such Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s or Series 2000-1 APA Bank’s rights and obligations under this Supplement, and such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce its rights under its Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate Interest and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Supplement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates or increasing or extending the Series 2000-1 Commitments); and
(v) the sum of the aggregate amount of any Series 2000-1 Commitment or portion thereof subject to each such participation plus the portion of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount represented by any Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate Interest subject to such participation shall not be less than $10,000,000.
(g) Any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 11.10, disclose to the Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1 Participant or proposed Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1 Participant any information relating to any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Trust or the Company furnished to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank by or on behalf of such entities; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information, each such Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1 Participant or proposed Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1 Participant shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit G.
(h) Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder other than to an Affiliate thereof without the prior written consent of the Funding Agents, the Trustee and each Series 2000-1 Purchaser, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, no transfer or assignment of any interests or obligations of any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would result in a prohibited transaction under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 406 of ERISA or cause the Participation Assets to be regarded as “plan assets” pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3 101, or require the Company or an Originator to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to qualify under the “blue sky” laws of any state.
85
(j) No provision of the Transaction Documents shall in any manner restrict the ability of the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any portion of their respective Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amounts. Without limiting the foregoing, each Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser may, on one or a series of transactions, transfer all or any portion of its Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount, and its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to a Conduit Assignee.
(k) Any Series 2000-1 APA Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate and its rights under this Supplement and the Transaction Documents (including any rights to payment of Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount and Series 2000-1 Monthly Interest Distribution) to secure obligations of such Series 2000-1 APA Bank to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 11.10(k) shall not prohibit or otherwise limit to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Series 2000-1 APA Bank from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Series 2000-1 APA Bank as a party hereto.
SECTION 11.11 Counterparts.
This Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
SECTION 11.12 Adjustments; Setoff.
(a) If any Series 2000-1 Purchaser (a “Series 2000-1 Benefited Purchaser”) shall at any time receive in respect of its Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount any distribution of any amount, including Series 2000-1 Unused Fee, Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee or other fees, or any interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such distribution (if any) received by any other Series 2000-1 Purchaser in respect of such other Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount, or interest thereon, such Series 2000-1 Benefited Purchaser shall purchase for cash from the other Series 2000-1 Purchasers such portion of each such other Series 2000-1 Purchaser’s Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate Interest, or shall provide such other Series 2000-1 Purchasers with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Series 2000-1 Benefited Purchaser to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Series 2000-1 Purchasers; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Series 2000-1 Benefited Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Master Servicer agrees that each Series 2000-1 Purchaser so purchasing a Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate Interest may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of
86
setoff) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Series 2000-1 Purchaser were the direct holder of such portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Series 2000-1 Purchasers provided by law, each Series 2000-1 Purchaser shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Company hereunder or under the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates to setoff and appropriate and apply against any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Series 2000-1 Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of the Company. Each Series 2000-1 Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents after any such setoff and application made by such Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxx; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
SECTION 11.13 Limitation of Payments by the Company.
The Company’s obligations under Article VII shall be limited to the funds available to the Company which have been properly distributed to the Company pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and any Supplement and neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Funding Agent nor any Series 2000-1 Purchaser shall have any actionable claim against the Company for failure to satisfy such obligation because it does not have funds available therefor from amounts properly distributed.
SECTION 11.14 No Bankruptcy Petition; No Recourse.
(a) The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Series 2000-1 Purchaser, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each Series 2000-1 APA Bank hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Company, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings (including, but not limited to, petitioning for the declaration of the Company’s assets en désastre) under any Applicable Insolvency Laws.
(b) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere herein contained, the sole remedy of the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, each Series 2000-1 Purchaser, each Series 2000-1 APA Bank or any other person in respect of any obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement of the Company under or related to this Supplement shall be against the assets of the Company, subject to the payment priorities contained in Articles III and IV of this Supplement and Article III of the Pooling Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Funding Agent, nor any Series 2000-1 Purchaser, nor any Series 2000-1 APA Bank, nor the Trustee, nor the Master Servicer, nor any other person shall have any claim against the Company to the extent that such assets are insufficient to meet any such obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement (the difference being referred to herein as “shortfall”) and all claims in respect of
87
the shortfall shall be extinguished. A director, member, independent manager, managing member, officer or employee, as applicable, of the Company shall not have liability for any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any Transaction Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, any Transaction Document, unless such claim results from the gross negligence, fraudulent acts or willful misconduct of such director, officer or employee.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplement or any other Transaction Document, each Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser (other than with respect to itself), the Company, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and the Series 2000-1 APA Banks each hereby covenant and agree that prior to the date which is one year (or, if longer, such preference period as is then applicable) and one day after the latest of (i) the last day of the Series 2000-1 Amortization Period, (ii) the date on which all Investor Certificates of each other Outstanding Series are repaid in full, and (iii) the date on which all outstanding Commercial Paper of each Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser is paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any Applicable Insolvency Laws.
The provisions of this Section 11.14 shall survive termination of this Supplement.
SECTION 11.15 Limitation on Addition of Approved Originators, Approved Currency, Approved Obligors and a Successor Master Servicer; Mergers and Consolidations
(a) Notwithstanding satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.09 of the Pooling Agreement or in any Origination Agreement, while any Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate is outstanding:
(i) the addition of any Receivables denominated in a currency other than an Approved Currency;
(ii) the execution and delivery of any other Origination Agreement (other than those entered into on or before the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxx Date);
(iii) the addition of an Additional Originator;
(iv) the addition of any Receivable governed by any law other than an Approved Contract Jurisdiction;
(v) the appointment of a Successor Master Servicer;
(vi) the addition of a jurisdiction as an Approved Obligor Country which is a Non-Investment Grade Country;

88
(viii) any Acquired Line of Business or disposition of line of business other than Permitted Designated Line of Business Disposition,
shall, in each case, require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of all Series 2000-1 Purchasers.
(b) Notwithstanding satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.03 of the Pooling Agreement, Section 5.01 of the Servicing Agreement and Section 6.11 (or any corresponding section) of the Origination Agreements, the occurrence of any such event set forth in such Sections shall require the delivery to the Trustee of the prior written consent of each Funding Agent.
SECTION 11.16 Subordinated Loan.
(a) If the Company elects to deliver U.S. Dollars, Euro and/or Pounds Sterling (as applicable) to cure an Early Amortization Event pursuant to Section 5.01, such cash contribution, which may be made only out of Collections from the Series 2000-1 Concentration Accounts which are otherwise allocable under Section 3A.03 to be paid to the Company Receipts Account, shall be evidenced as a Subordinated Loan, will constitute a Junior Claim and will be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.16. Irrespective of the time, order or method of payment and irrespective of anything else contained in this or any other document or agreement other than in this Section 11.16, so long as any VFC Certificate remains outstanding, the Company agrees that any and all Junior Claims are and shall be expressly subordinate and junior to the Senior Claims in right and time of payment. Each Junior Claimant by acceptance thereof waives any and all notice of the creation or accrual of any such Senior Claim and notice of proof of reliance upon these subordination provisions by any holder of any Senior Claim. Any such Senior Claim shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon these subordination provisions and all dealings between the Company and any holders of any such Senior Claims (including the Company as an ECI Holder) so arising shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon these subordination provisions. The provisions of this Section 11.16 are and are intended to be solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Junior Claimants, on the one hand, and the holders of any Senior Claims, on the other hand.
(b) In the event of any Insolvency Event:
(i) all Senior Claims shall first be Indefeasibly Paid, or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner satisfactory to all of the holders of Senior Claims, before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Junior Claimant on account of such Junior Claim; and
(ii) any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property that would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable with respect to any Junior Claim shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Claims (or to a banking institution selected by the court or other Person
89
making the payment or delivery or designated by any holder of any Senior Claim) for application in payment of the Senior Claims in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Claims shall have been Indefeasibly Paid, or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner satisfactory to all of the holders of Senior Claims.
As used in this Section 11.16, the term “Indefeasibly Paid” means, with respect to the making of any payment on or with respect to any Senior Claim, a payment of such Senior Claim in full that is not subject to avoidance under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(c) Turnover of Improper Payments. If any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property shall be received by any Junior Claimant in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all the Senior Claims shall have been Indefeasibly Paid or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner satisfactory to all of the holders of Senior Claims, such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Claims at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Claims remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Claims in full. In the event of the failure of any Junior Claimant to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.
(d) No Prejudice or Impairment. The rights under these subordination provisions of the holders of any Senior Claims as against any Junior Claimant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by:
(i) any act or failure to act on the part of the Company;
(ii) any extension or indulgence with respect to any payment or prepayment of any Senior Claim or any part thereof or with respect to any other amount payable to any holder of any Senior Claim;
(iii) any amendment, modification or waiver of, or addition or supplement to, or deletion from, or compromise, release, consent or other action with respect to, any of the terms of any Senior Claim, the Pooling Agreement, this Supplement or any other agreement that may be made relating to any Senior Claim;
