ARTICLE II
Β
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENT
Β
2.1. Maximum Facility Amount.
Β
(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and so long as (i) the total Principal Debt related to the Facility does not exceed the Maximum Facility Amount, (ii) the Principal Debt owed to the Lenders other than the Seasonal Lenders never exceed the total Collateral Value of all Eligible Mortgage Collateral, (iii) no Borrowing ever exceeds the Availability, and (iv) Borrowings are only made on Business Days before the Drawdown Termination Date, each Issuer may, each in its sole discretion, make an Advance ratably in accordance with the Bank Commitment of its Group Bank, and if an Issuer does not make such Advance, its Group Banks shall, ratably in accordance with their Bank Commitments, make such Advance, to the Borrower from time to time in such amounts as may be requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3, so long as (A) each Borrowing is the least of (x) the Availability, and (y) the Available Collateral Value as of such date, and (B) such Borrowing is at least $15,000,000 and in integral multiples of $10,000 in excess thereof. Within the limits of the Maximum Facility Amount, the Borrower may borrow, prepay (whether pursuant to Section 2.5 or Section 3.3(a) of this Agreement or otherwise), and reborrow under this Section 2.1.
Β
(b) The Borrower may request an extension of the Drawdown Termination Date to a date occurring up to 364 days after the then Drawdown Termination Date, by written request to the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent given 60 days prior to the then Drawdown Termination Date. If the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent shall in their sole discretion consent to such extension not less than 30 days prior to the then Drawdown Termination Date, then the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Drawdown Termination Date shall be extended to the requested date (occurring up to 364 days after the then Drawdown Termination Date). If the Lenders in the Bank One Group decline to consent to an extension requested pursuant to this Section 2.1, but the Lenders in the CL New York Group nevertheless desire to consent to the extension or confirmation, then the extension shall be granted, and at the option of the Managing Agent of the CL New York Group, either (a) the Maximum Facility Amount shall be reduced by the Bank Commitments of the Banks in the Bank One Group on what would have been the Drawdown Termination Date but for the extension, or (b) the Managing Agent of the CL New York Group shall find a replacement for the Bank One Group. If the Lenders in the CL New York Group decline to consent to the extension, but the Lenders in the Bank One Group nevertheless desire to consent to the extension, then the extension shall be granted, and CL New York shall cease to be the Administrative Agent and Bank One shall become the Administrative Agent hereunder, and, at the option of the Managing Agent of the Bank One Group, either (a) the Maximum Facility Amount shall be reduced by the Bank Commitments of the Banks in the CL New York Group on what would have been the Drawdown Termination Date but for the extension, or (b) the Managing Agent of the Bank One Group shall find a replacement for the CL New York Group. To the extent that a Group Bank declines to extend the Drawdown Termination Date, the Obligations of such Group Bank will be repaid pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(iii) hereof. Any extension of the Drawdown Termination Date may be accompanied by such additional fees as the parties shall mutually agree. Any failure of any party to respond to the Borrowerβs request
Β
33
for an extension shall be deemed a denial of such request by such party. The Lenders, Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any request by the Borrower for an extension; provided that under no circumstances shall the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent have any liability to the Borrower for any failure to respond and a failure to respond shall not be deemed to be a consent to any request.
Β
(c) The Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior irrevocable notice to the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent, but no more than once every three months, reduce the Maximum Facility Amount; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided further, however that no such reduction shall reduce the Maximum Facility Amount below the greater of (i) the total Principal Debt owed to the Lenders (other than the Seasonal Lenders) and (ii) $100,000,000. Any partial reduction in the Maximum Facility Amount will reduce the Bank Commitment of each Bank Group ratably.
Β
(d) The Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) daysβ prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent, and payment in full of all Obligations, terminate the Bank Commitments and reduce the Maximum Facility Amount to zero.
Β
2.2. Promissory Notes. The Advances made by each of the Lenders related to each Group pursuant to this Article II shall be evidenced by separate Notes (i) each substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E-1 (in the case of Lenders in the CL New York Group) or Exhibit E-2 (in the case of Lenders in the Bank One Group) hereto, each in the maximum principal amount of such Groupβs related Issuer Facility Amount, or (ii) substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E-3 (in the case of the Seasonal Lenders) hereto in the Seasonal Facility Amount. Each Managing Agent on behalf of the Lenders in its Group shall record in its records the date and amount of each Advance to the Borrower and each repayment thereof. The information so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the accuracy thereof. The failure to so record, in the absence of manifest error, any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes to pay the principal of all Advances, together with interest accruing thereon.
Β
2.3. Notice and Manner of Obtaining Borrowings.
Β
(a) Borrowings.
Β
(i) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent notice of each request for a Borrowing (including a Seasonal Borrowing), pursuant to a Borrowing Request, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof. On the Borrowing Date specified in the Borrowing Request and subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Issuer may, in its sole discretion, make available to its Managing Agent at the office of its Managing Agent set forth in Section 13.1, in immediately available funds, its pro rata share of the Borrowing. On the Borrowing Date specified in the Borrowing Request and subject to all other terms
Β
34
and conditions of this Agreement, with respect to each requested Seasonal Borrowing, the Seasonal Issuer may, in its sole discretion, make available to its Managing Agent at the office of its Managing Agent set forth in Section 13.1, in immediately available funds, its pro rata share of the Borrowing.
Β
(ii) In the event that an Issuer shall elect not to fund an Advance (including a Seasonal Borrowing) requested by the Borrower, each Group Bank or Seasonal Bank of such Issuer agrees that it shall, on the Borrowing Date specified in the Borrowing Request and subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, make available to its Managing Agent at the office of its Managing Agent set forth in Section 13.1, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the product of (x) such Bankβs Bank Commitment Percentage or Seasonal Bankβs Bank Commitment Percentage, multiplied by (y) the portion of such Borrowing that such Issuer or Seasonal Issuer has elected not to fund.
Β
(iii) After each Managing Agentβs receipt of funds pursuant to the preceding paragraph (i) or (ii) and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, each Managing Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower a like amount of immediately available funds. So long as the Borrower is otherwise entitled to make a specific Borrowing, Borrowing Requests that are received by each Managing Agent by 3:00 p.m. (eastern time) on a Business Day will be funded on the date that is two Business Days following receipt of the Borrowing Request.
Β
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank or Seasonal Bank shall not be obligated to make Advances under this Section 2.3 at any time to the extent that the principal amount of all Advances made by such Bank or Seasonal Bank would exceed such Bankβs Bank Commitment or Seasonal Bankβs Seasonal Bank Commitment less the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of any loans or purchases made by such Bank or Seasonal Bank under a Liquidity Agreement. Each Bankβs or Seasonal Bankβs obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Bank or Seasonal Bank to make available to the Borrower any funds in connection with any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Group Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such Borrowing, but no Group Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Group Bank to make funds available in connection with any Borrowing.
Β
(b) Type of Loan.
Β
(i) Each Advance by an Issuer shall initially be funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes by such Issuer.
Β
(ii) Each Advance by a Bank shall be either a Base Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Advance, as determined pursuant to Section 2.15(b).
Β
(c) Special Borrowings. The Borrower may from time to time request that certain Borrowings be funded prior to the delivery to the Collateral Agent of the corresponding Principal Mortgage Documents (individually, a βSpecial Borrowingβ; collectively, βSpecial Borrowingsβ). Advances in respect of Special Borrowings shall be made in accordance with
Β
35
Section 2.3(a), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following additional terms and conditions:
Β
(i) Pursuant to an Assignment, the Borrower shall grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, from the Borrowing Date of each Special Borrowing, a perfected, first-priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans identified in Schedule II to said Assignment (such Mortgage Loans being sometimes called βSpecial Mortgage Loansβ);
Β
(ii) The Assignment delivered by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent in connection with any Special Mortgage Loan shall describe the Mortgage Note or Mortgage Notes to be delivered to the Collateral Agent in connection therewith by the loan number assigned by one of the Originators, original principal amount, the amount funded (minus discount points paid to such Originator) by one of the Originators, Obligorβs name and interest rate;
Β
(iii) Within nine (9) Business Days after the date that each Assignment is delivered (and inclusion of the related Special Mortgage Loan within the computation of Collateral Value as reported on the Collateral Agent Daily Report), to Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent the Principal Mortgage Documents pertaining to any Special Mortgage Loan identified on Schedule II of such Assignment; and
Β
(iv) The Borrower shall not request any Special Borrowing, and no Special Borrowing shall be made, in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is closed with an escrow agent other than the relevant title insurance company, unless at the time of such request, the Borrower is entitled to the benefit of Closing Protection Rights (it being understood that pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Administrative Agent has a security interest in all Closing Protection Rights).
Β
Each request by the Borrower for a Special Borrowing shall be automatically deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the effect that immediately before and after giving effect to such Borrowing, the terms and conditions specified in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) and specified in Section 4.2 are and shall be satisfied in full as of the related Borrowing Date.
Β
(d) Failure to Deliver Principal Mortgage Documents. The failure to deliver Principal Mortgage Documents by the ninth Business Day, as required by subparagraph (iii) of Section 2.3(c) and elsewhere in this Agreement, shall not be treated as a Default or an Event of Default so long as each Managing Agent is satisfied that each such failure, when considered in the light of past and other contemporaneous failures, does not have a Material Adverse Effect; however, (i) if any such Principal Mortgage Documents related to such Special Mortgage Loans are not so delivered on a timely basis, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment or shall deliver additional Mortgage Assets so that after giving effect thereto, the Collateral Value of Eligible Mortgage Collateral (excluding such Special Mortgage Loans) shall equal or exceed the Principal Debt, and (ii) the Special Mortgage Loan shall not be an Eligible Mortgage Loan and
Β
36
shall have a Collateral Value of zero until such Principal Mortgage Documents shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in connection with a subsequent Borrowing.
Β
The Borrower diligently shall pursue delivery to the Collateral Agent of all Principal Mortgage Documents pertaining to any Special Borrowings.

Β
2.5. Prepayments.
Β

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayment made hereunder shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid. After giving notice that a prepayment will be made, the Borrower shall be liable to each Affected Party for any Consequential Loss resulting from such prepayment or the failure to make a prepayment designated in any such notice.
Β
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day, make a mandatory prepayment on the Principal Debt owed to the Lenders if, at any time, and to the extent that, (i) the Principal Debt owed to the Lenders other than the Seasonal Lenders exceeds the Maximum Facility Amount, (ii) the Principal Debt owed to the Seasonal Lenders exceeds the Seasonal Facility Amount or (iii) the Principal Debt exceeds the total Collateral Value of all Eligible Mortgage Collateral. The Borrower shall be liable for any Consequential Loss resulting from any such prepayment.
Β
2.6. Business Days. If the date for any payment under this Agreement falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then for all purposes of the Notes and this Agreement the same shall be deemed to have fallen on either (a) the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payments of interest and fees or (b) if the next following Business Day is in another calendar month and payment is being made with respect to a Eurodollar Advance, then on the immediately previous Business Day.

The Collection Account shall be a fully segregated trust account, unless the Collection Account Bank shall be an Eligible Institution having short-term debt ratings from S&P, Xxxxxβx and Fitch no lower than A-1/P-1/F1, in which case the account need not be a trust account. The Collection Account shall be under the control of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collection Account Control Agreement, and the Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any amount from, the Collection Account until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

Each Managing Agent shall, from time to time and in its sole discretion, determine whether interest in respect of the Advances then outstanding and owing to the Lenders in the related Group, or any portion thereof, shall be calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate (such portion of the Principal Debt being herein called a βCP Allocationβ), the Eurodollar Rate or the Alternate Base Rate (such portion of the Principal Debt as shall be calculated based on the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate collectively, being herein called an βABR Allocationβ; provided, however, that each Advance made by a Bank hereunder shall be allocated to the ABR Allocation. Each Managing Agent shall provide the Borrower with reasonably prompt notice of the allocations made by it pursuant to this Section 2.9. In making its allocation decision pursuant to the foregoing sentence, each Managing Agent shall use reasonable efforts, taking into account market conditions, to accommodate the Borrowerβs preferences; provided, however, that the Managing Agents shall have the ultimate authority to make all such decisions. Following designation by each Managing Agent of any Advance, or any portion thereof, as being a CP Allocation, the Borrower may, at all times that such designation remains in effect, consult with such Managing Agent as to the number and length of Interest Periods relating to such CP Allocation. In selecting such Interest Periods, each Managing Agent shall use reasonable efforts, taking into account market conditions, to accommodate the Borrowerβs preferences; provided, however, that each Managing Agent shall have the ultimate authority to make all such selections.
Β
2.10. Interest Rates.
Β
Except where specifically otherwise provided, each CP Allocation shall bear interest for the related Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Commercial Paper Rate applicable to such Interest Period, and each ABR Allocation shall bear interest at either the Eurodollar Rate plus the Bank Spread, or the Alternate Base Rate; provided, however, that in no event shall the rate of interest with respect to any Advance or portion thereof exceed the Maximum Rate. Each change in the Alternate Base Rate and Maximum Rate, subject to the terms of this Agreement, will become effective, without notice to the Borrower or any other Person, upon the effective date of such change.
Β
2.11. Quotation of Rates.
Β
It is hereby acknowledged that an officer or other individual appropriately designated by an officer previously identified to a Managing Agent in a certificate of incumbency or other appropriately designated officer of the Borrower may call such Managing Agent from time to time in order to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but such indicated rates shall neither be binding upon such Managing Agent nor the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect.
Β
2.12. Default Rate.
Β
So long as any Event of Default exists, all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid, regardless of whether such payment is made before or after entry of a judgment.
Β
43
2.13. Interest Recapture.
Β
If the designated rate applicable to any Borrowing exceeds the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest on such Borrowing shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions in such designated rate shall not reduce the rate of interest thereon below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued thereon equals the amount of interest that would have accrued thereon if such designated rate had at all times been in effect. If at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Notes, the total amount of interest paid or accrued is less than the amount of interest that would have accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect, then, at such time and to the extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements, the Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest that would have accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect and the amount of interest that would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had at all times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on the Notes.
Β
2.14. Interest Calculations.
Β
All computations of interest and any other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed; provided, however, that any calculations of interest based on the rate set forth in clause (i)(a) and (ii)(a) of the definition of Alternate Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed. All such determinations and calculations by the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
Β
2.15. Interest Period.
Β
(a) βInterest Periodβ means with respect to any Advance included in the CP Allocation, each period (i) commencing on, and including, the date that such Advance was initially designated by the related Managing Agent as comprising a part of the CP Allocation hereunder, or the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period for such Advance (whichever is latest); and (ii) ending on, but excluding, the date that falls such number of days (not to exceed 30 days) thereafter as such Managing Agent shall select; provided, however, that no more than ten Interest Periods (five per Issuer) shall be in effect at any one time with respect to Advances included in the CP Allocation provided, however, that no Interest Period with respect to the Seasonal Facility shall extend beyond the end of a Seasonal Period.
Β
(b) βInterest Periodβ means with respect to any Advance included in the ABR Allocation, a period of one month (provided that if such Interest Period begins on a date for which there is no corresponding date in the month in which such Interest Period is scheduled to end, the last day of such Interest Period shall be the last Business Day of the month in which such Interest Period is scheduled to end), which Advance shall be a Eurodollar Advance, unless:
Β
(i) on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period the Lender with respect to such Advance shall have notified the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it
Β
44
unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to fund such Advance at the Eurodollar Rate (and such Lender shall not have subsequently notified the Administrative Agent and Managing Agents that such circumstances no longer exist), or
Β
(ii) the Borrower shall have requested a Base Rate Advance or an Interest Period shorter than one month, or
Β
(iii) the Administrative Agent and Managing Agents do not receive notice, by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding the first day of such Interest Period, that the related Advance will not be funded by issuance of Commercial Paper Notes, or
Β
(iv) the principal amount of such Advance is less than $500,000, or
Β
(v) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or
Β
(vi) the Eurodollar Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost of funds to the Issuer or the Banks (as conclusively determined by the Agent) during such Interest Period, or
Β
(vii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for the relevant Interest Period,
Β
in which case (if any of the foregoing events occurs) such Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance.
Β
(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) any Interest Period that would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (provided, however, if interest in respect of such Interest Period is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, and such Interest Period would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day, and there is no subsequent Business Day in the same calendar month as such day, such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day); (y) any Interest Period that commences before the Drawdown Termination Date and would otherwise end after the Drawdown Termination Date shall end on the Drawdown Termination Date; and (z) the duration of each Interest Period that commences on or after the Drawdown Termination Date shall be of such duration as shall be selected by the applicable Managing Agents and communicated by notice to the Borrower.
Β
2.16. Additional Costs.
Β
(a) If any Regulatory Change occurring after the date hereof:
Β
(i) shall subject an Affected Party to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Advance to or funded by it, or any obligations or right to make Advances hereunder or to provide funding therefor, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Affected Party of any amounts in respect of a Lenderβs principal or interest owed to or funded by it or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect
Β
45
of any Advance funded by it or its obligations or rights, if any, to make Advances or to provide funding therefor (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Affected Party imposed by the United States of America, by the jurisdiction in which such Affected Partyβs principal executive office is located and, if such Affected Partyβs principal executive office is not in the United States of America, by the jurisdiction where such Affected Partyβs principal office in the United States is located); or
Β
(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (other than reserve requirements referred to in Section 2.17), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of any Affected Party, deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected Party or with or for the account of any affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an affiliate) of any Affected Party, or credit extended by any Affected Party; or
Β
(iii) shall change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Party; or
Β
(iv) shall change the rates for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or any successor thereto) assesses deposit insurance premiums or similar charges; or
Β
(v) shall impose any other condition affecting any Advance funded by any Affected Party, or its obligations or rights, if any, to make Advances or to provide funding therefor; and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be:
Β
(x) to increase the cost to or impose a cost on (I) an Affected Party funding or making or maintaining any Advances or any liquidity loan to an Issuer or any commitment of such Affected Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or (II) the Administrative Agent for continuing its, or the Borrowerβs, relationship with the Lenders,
Β
(y) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement or any Note, or under the Liquidity Agreement with respect thereto, or
Β
(z) in the sole determination of such Affected Party, to reduce the rate of return on the capital of an Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which such Affected Party could otherwise have achieved,
Β
then within thirty days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost or such reduction.
Β
46
(b) Each Affected Party will promptly notify the Borrower, the applicable Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16; provided, however, no failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation.
Β
(c) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 2.16, an Affected Party may use any averaging and attribution methods that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party when making a claim under this Section 2.16 shall submit to the Borrower a statement as to such increased cost or reduced return (including calculation thereof), which Statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.
Β
2.17. Additional Interest on Advances Bearing a Eurodollar Rate.
Β
The Borrower shall pay to any Affected Party, so long as such Affected Party shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal of each Advance or portion thereof made or funded (including fundings to an Issuer for the purpose of maintaining an Advance) by such Affected Party during each Interest Period in respect of which interest is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, for such Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal at all times during such Interest Period to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate referred to in clause (i) above by that percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Affected Party for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Affected Party and notice thereof given to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agent) within 30 days after any interest payment is made with respect to which such additional interest is requested. A certificate as to such additional interest submitted to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agent by such Affected Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Β
2.18. Consequential Loss.
Β
The Borrower and the Servicer shall indemnify each Affected Party against, and shall pay to the Administrative Agent for such Affected Party within ten days after request therefor, any Consequential Loss of any Affected Party. When any Affected Party requests that the Borrower or the Servicer pay any Consequential Loss, it shall deliver to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agent a certificate setting forth the basis for imposing such Consequential Loss and the calculation of such amount thereof, which calculation shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
Β
2.19. Replacement Banks.
Β
Upon the election of any Affected Party to request reimbursement by the Borrower for increased costs under Sections 2.16 or 2.17, the Borrower may, upon prior written
Β
47
notice to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Managing Agent and such Affected Party, seek a replacement Bank to whom such additional costs shall not apply (a βReplacement Bankβ) and, upon a Bankβs breach of its obligation hereunder to make an Advance, the Borrower may seek a Replacement Bank for such Bank. Any Replacement Bank shall be satisfactory to the applicable Managing Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not seek a replacement for a Bank that is also a Managing Agent unless the related Issuer is also terminated as a party to this Agreement and all of its outstanding Advances are repaid in full. Each Affected Party agrees that, should it be identified for replacement pursuant to this Section 2.19, upon payment in full of all amounts due and owing to such Affected Party hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, it will promptly execute and deliver all documents and instruments reasonably required by the Borrower to assign such Affected Partyβs portion of the Advances to the applicable Replacement Bank. Any such replacement shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Affected Party for any such increased costs incurred through the date of such replacement.
Β
2.20. Seasonal Facility Amount.
Β
(a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Seasonal Issuer may, in its sole discretion, make an Advance (a βSeasonal Advanceβ or βSeasonal Borrowingβ), and if the Seasonal Issuer does not make such Advance, the Seasonal Bank shall make such Advance to the Borrower from time to time in such amounts as may be requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3, so long as
Β
(i) the Seasonal Facility Amount is greater than the Principal Debt owed to the Seasonal Lenders;
Β
(ii) each Borrowing is in an amount of at least $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $10,000 in excess thereof;
Β
(iii) each such Advance is made during a Seasonal Period and prior to the Seasonal Facility Termination Date; and
Β
(iv) the Availability under the Facility at the time of such Seasonal Advance is equal to zero.
Β
(b) The Borrower may request an extension of the Seasonal Facility Termination Date to a date occurring up to 364 days after the then Seasonal Facility Termination Date, by written request to the Seasonal Lenders and the Managing Agent for the Seasonal Lenders, given 60 days prior to the then Seasonal Facility Termination Date. If the Seasonal Lenders and the Managing Agent for the Seasonal Lenders shall in their sole discretion consent to such extension not less than 30 days prior to the then Seasonal Facility Termination Date, then the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Seasonal Facility Termination Date shall be extended to the requested date (occurring up to 364 days after the then Seasonal Facility Termination Date). Any extension of the Seasonal Facility Termination Date may be accompanied by such additional fees as the parties shall mutually agree. Any failure of any party to respond to the Borrowerβs request for an extension shall be deemed a denial of such request by such party.
Β
48
(c) The Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) daysβ written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Seasonal Lenders, terminate the Seasonal Facility in whole or reduce in part the Seasonal Facility Amount; provided, that each reduction of the Seasonal Facility Amount shall (i) be effective on the next occurring Settlement Date, (ii) be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) not reduce the Seasonal Facility Amount below the Principal Debt owed to the Seasonal Lenders.

Β
(ii) in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, an original executed assignment in blank for each Mortgage Note and the Mortgage securing such Mortgage Note, in recordable form executed by one of the Originators (and if the related Mortgage Loan is a MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, this document shall not be required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent); and
Β
(iii) a certified copy of the executed Mortgage related to such Mortgage Note;
Β
(c) The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, with respect to each Mortgage Loan included in the Collateral,

Β
(ii) other than with respect to a HUD repossessed Property that is sold to a consumer, a mortgageeβs policy of title insurance (or binding unexpired commitment to issue such insurance if the policy has not yet been delivered to the Servicer) insuring the Borrowerβs perfected, first-priority Lien created by the Mortgage securing such Mortgage Loan (subject to such title exceptions that conform to the related Take-Out Commitments) in a policy amount not less than the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan;
Β
(iii) the original hazard insurance policy, appropriately endorsed to provide that all insurance proceeds will be paid to any of the Originators or any of the assigns of such Originator, referred to in Section 6.6(b) hereof which relate to such Mortgage Loan, or other evidence of insurance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

50
called VA Rate Reduction or FHA Streamline refinances, insurable in accordance with VA and FHA guidelines, but for which an appraisal is not required; and
Β
(v) all other original documents (collectively, the βOther Mortgage Documentsβ).
Β
Upon request of the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent, the Borrower shall immediately deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, all such items to the Collateral Agent as bailee for the Administrative Agent or such other party as may be designated in such notice.
Β
(d) Whenever a Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a loan-specific Take-Out Commitment, Servicer shall reflect such Take-Out Commitment on the Hedge and Commitment Report next delivered by the Servicer, and the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of the related master agreement or commitment with the related Approved Investor, with any confidential economic terms redacted (unless a copy of such agreement or commitment has been delivered previously).
Β
(e) The Servicer shall provide the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent with full access to all Other Mortgage Documents held in trust for the Administrative Agent at all times.

3.3. Redemption of Mortgage Collateral.
Β
(a) Generally. Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3.3, in connection with a sale or other transfer contemplated by clause (a) or (b) or otherwise, and so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower or the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) may request releases of the Administrative Agentβs security interest in all or any part of the Collateral (including releases from the Collection Account) at any time, and from time to time and such requests shall be automatically granted; provided that no such request shall be granted unless, in addition to the satisfaction of the other conditions contained in this Section 3.3,
Β
(i) (immediately after giving effect to any requested release) the total Collateral Value of all Eligible Mortgage Collateral shall equal or exceed the Principal Debt, or
Β
(ii) (A) the Borrower makes a principal payment on account of the Principal Debt in an amount, such that after giving effect to such payment or delivery, the total Collateral Value of all Eligible Mortgage Collateral will equal or exceed the Principal Debt, or (B) the Borrower delivers to the Collateral Agent as bailee for the Administrative Agent substitute Eligible Mortgage Collateral with a Collateral Value, such that after giving effect to such payment or delivery, the total Collateral Value of all Eligible Mortgage Collateral will equal or exceed the Principal Debt.
Β
51
Each request for a release of any portion of the Collateral shall be addressed to the Collateral Agent and shall be substantially in either the form illustrated in Exhibit D-5 to the Collateral Agency Agreement (or such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to or required by the Administrative Agent, from time to time), or the form of an electronic transmission which shall include a schedule substantially in the form illustrated on Schedule I to Exhibit D-5 to the Collateral Agency Agreement (or such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to or required by the Administrative Agent, from time to time) and a specific code indicating that such electronic transmission is being delivered in connection with this Agreement (a βTransfer Requestβ). Each request for a release of any portion of the Collateral from the Collection Account shall be addressed to the Administrative Agent and shall be substantially in the form illustrated in Exhibit D-11 to the Collateral Agency Agreement (or such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to or required by the Administrative Agent, from time to time) (a βCollection Account Release Noticeβ). Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer will request a release of any portion of the Collateral from the Collection Account in the amount of any payments (βUnidentified Paymentsβ) that have been deposited into the Collection Account, to the extent that the Servicer has not identified the Mortgage Loan to which any such payment relates such that the Lendersβ security interest could be released. If the Borrower or the Servicer elects to deliver a Transfer Request by electronic transmission the Borrower or the Servicer shall be deemed to have made all of the representations, covenants and warranties set forth in the Transfer Request attached as Exhibit D-5 to the Collateral Agency Agreement contemporaneously with such electronic transmission.
Β
(b) Redemption Pursuant to Sale. So long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower or the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) may from time to time submit a Shipping Request that would permit a sale of Mortgage Loan Collateral to, or the pooling of Mortgage Loan Collateral for, an Approved Investor, pursuant to a Take-Out Commitment. Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a Shipping Request from the Borrower identifying Collateral to be delivered to an Approved Investor, and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence or would be caused thereby:
Β
(i) The Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Approved Investor, or its loan servicing provider or custodian, under the Collateral Agentβs βBailee and Security Agreement Letterβ substantially in the form provided for in the Collateral Agency Agreement, as appropriate, the items of Mortgage Loan Collateral being sold that are held by the Collateral Agent as bailee for the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, with the release of the security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations in such items being conditioned upon timely payment to the Collection Account of the amount described in Section 3.3(b)(iii) or delivery of additional Eligible Mortgage Collateral;
Β
(ii) The Servicer shall, as agent for the Administrative Agent, deliver to such Approved Investor, or such Approved Investorβs loan servicing provider or custodian, pursuant to procedures provided for in the Collateral Agency Agreement, the items held by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.2(c) that are related to the Mortgage Loan Collateral to be transferred on the condition that such Approved Investor or its loan servicing provider or custodian shall hold or control such Other Mortgage Documents as bailee for the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations)
Β
52
until the Approved Investor has either paid the full purchase price for such Mortgage Loan Collateral to the Collateral Agent, as required by the relevant Take-Out Commitment;
Β
(iii) Within forty-five (45) days after the delivery by the Collateral Agent to such Approved Investor or its loan servicing provider or custodian of the items of Mortgage Loan Collateral described in Section 3.3(b)(i), the Borrower shall make a payment, or shall cause a payment to be made, to the Collection Account for distribution to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in an amount equal to at least the full purchase price for such Mortgage Loan Collateral; and
Β
(iv) With respect to each Shipping Request that is received by the Collateral Agent by 10:00 a.m. (eastern time), or such later time as permitted by the Collateral Agent, on a Business Day, the Collateral Agent shall use due diligence and efforts to review such Shipping Request and prepare the Mortgage Loan files identified in each Shipping Request, for shipment prior to the close of business on such day; provided, however, that for each shipment of 100 or more Mortgage Loans, the Collateral Agent shall receive the Shipping Request by 10:00 a.m. (eastern time) or such later time as permitted by the Collateral Agent, on the Business Day prior to the shipment date.
Β
(c) Transfers. So long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower shall, at any time, be permitted to transfer Mortgage Loans to either Originator by means of its daily electronic transmissions to the Collateral Agent, together with delivery of a Transfer Request delivered to the Collateral Agent, identifying each Mortgage Loan being transferred. The Collateral Agentβs sole responsibility with respect to any such transfers shall be to correctly reflect such transfers on its computer system and books and records and to indicate, on its Collateral Agentβs Daily Report on the next Business Day, that such transfers have been effected. However, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer on its behalf shall request transfers if (A) total Principal Debt will exceed the total Collateral Value of Eligible Mortgage Collateral immediately after giving effect to a requested transfer, or (B) the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent that a Default or Event of Default has occurred.
Β
(d) Continuation of Lien. Unless released in writing by the Administrative Agent as herein provided, the security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, in all Mortgage Loan Collateral transmitted pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall continue in effect until such time as payment in full of the amount described in Section 3.3(b)(iii) shall have been received.
Β
(e) Application of Proceeds; No Duty. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any duty at any time to credit Borrower for any amount due from any Approved Investor in respect of any purchase of any Mortgage Collateral contemplated under Section 3.3(b) above, until such amount has actually been received in immediately available funds and deposited to the Collection Account. Neither the Collateral Agent, nor the Lenders, nor the Administrative Agent shall be under any duty at any time to collect any amounts or otherwise enforce any obligations due from any Approved Investor in respect of any such purchase.
Β
53
(f) Mandatory Redemption of Mortgage Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if at any time a Collateral Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall, as promptly as possible and in any event within one Business Day, make a payment to the Collection Account (or make payment directly to the Administrative Agent) or pledge, assign and deliver additional or substitute Eligible Mortgage Collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, so that, immediately after giving effect to such payment or pledge and assignment, total Collateral Value of Eligible Mortgage Collateral shall be equal or greater than the Principal Debt.
Β
(g) Representation in Connection with Releases, Sales and Transfers. The Borrower represents and warrants that each request for any release or transfer pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b) shall automatically constitute a representation and warranty to the effect that immediately before and after giving effect to such release or Transfer Request, the Collateral Value of Eligible Mortgage Collateral shall equal or exceed the Principal Debt.
Β
(h) Limitation on Releases. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Servicer shall not request a release of any Collateral unless payment of the purchase price by the Approved Investor or any of the Originators shall have been made in immediately available funds to the Collection Account; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if there is no Default or Event of Default, and, immediately before and after giving effect to such release (and any related substitutions), the total Collateral Value of Eligible Mortgage Collateral shall equal or exceed the Principal Debt.
Β
3.4. Correction of Mortgage Notes. The Servicer may from time to time request, in writing, that the Collateral Agent deliver a Mortgage Note that constitutes Mortgage Loan Collateral so that such Mortgage Note may be replaced by a corrected Mortgage Note. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such a request from the Servicer, and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Servicer, under the Collateral Agentβs βTrust Receipt and Security Agreement Letter,β in the form provided for in the Collateral Agency Agreement, or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Mortgage Note to be corrected, such delivery to be conditioned upon the receipt within fourteen (14) calendar days by the Collateral Agent of a corrected Mortgage Note; provided, that
Β
(i) at no time shall Mortgage Notes having an aggregate Collateral Value in excess of $5,000,000 (the Collateral Value assigned to each such Mortgage Notes shall be determined utilizing as the principal amount of such Mortgage Note the lesser of the uncorrected face value of such Mortgage Note and the correct face value of such Mortgage Note known to the Borrower or the Servicer; provided, however, that if correct face value of such Mortgage Note is not communicated or known to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may use the uncorrected face value of such Mortgage Note in determining the Collateral Value) be so delivered for replacement with corrected Mortgage Notes under the Collateral Agency Agreement;
Β
(ii) until such time as a corrected Mortgage Note shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Value attributed to each Mortgage Note delivered to the Servicer to be corrected in accordance with this Section 3.4 shall be the
Β
54
lesser of the uncorrected face value of such Mortgage Note and the corrected face value of such Mortgage Note known to the Borrower and communicated by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that if correct face value of such Mortgage Note is not communicated or known to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may use the uncorrected face value of such Mortgage Note in determining the Collateral Value; and

Β
(ii) Each Mortgage Loan was originated using credit policies in effect at the time of such origination, which were designated to provide guidelines in underwriting the creditworthiness of the Obligors and to determine the Obligorsβ ability to repay the debt. In accordance with such policies, each of the Originators considered, among other things, the credit history of the Obligor and other credit indicators such as income verification and/or debt-to-income ratios of the Obligor. No Mortgage Loan was originated based solely on an estimation of the value of the mortgaged property without any consideration of the potential ability of the Obligor to repay the amount owed under the Mortgage Loan.

Β

THE MERS AGENT
Β
13.1. Authorization. Each Lender has appointed the MERS Agent as its agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Electronic Tracking Agreement as are delegated to the MERS Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Electronic Tracking Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of the Electronic Tracking Agreement), the MERS Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the MERS Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the MERS Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to the Electronic Tracking Agreement or applicable law.
Β
13.2. Reliance by Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Electronic Tracking Agreement, neither the MERS Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them (in their capacity as or on behalf of the MERS Agent) under or in connection with the Electronic Tracking Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the MERS Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it or the Borrower and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or the Managing Agent and shall not be responsible to any Lender or the
Β
89
Managing Agent for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Electronic Tracking Agreement; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Electronic Tracking Agreement on the part of the parties thereto or to inspect the Property (including the books and records) of the Borrower; (d) shall not be responsible to any Lender or the Managing Agent for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Electronic Tracking Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of the Electronic Tracking Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, cable or telex) believed by the MERS Agent to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper Person or party.
Β
13.3. Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Advance made by Bank One, Bank One shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as would any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the MERS Agent. Bank One and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, the Managing Agents, any of the Borrowerβs Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower, the Managing Agents or any such Affiliate, all as if Bank One were not the MERS Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. If Bank One is removed as MERS Agent, such removal will not affect Bank Oneβs rights and interests as a Lender.
Β
13.4. Rights of the MERS Agent. Each right and remedy expressly provided by the Electronic Tracking Agreement as being available to the MERS Agent shall be exercised by the MERS Agent only at the direction of the Majority Banks.
Β
13.5. Indemnification of MERS Agent. Each Bank agrees to indemnify the MERS Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts held by it (or if no Advances are then outstanding, each Bank shall indemnify the MERS Agent ratably according to the amount of its Bank Commitment), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the MERS Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Electronic Tracking Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the MERS Agent under the Electronic Tracking Agreement, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the MERS Agentβs gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Any communication so addressed and mailed shall be deemed to be given when so mailed, except that notices and requests given pursuant to Section 3.3(e). Borrowing Requests and communications related thereto shall not be effective
Β
93
until actually received by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuers or the Borrower, as the case may be; and any notice so sent by rapid transmission shall be deemed to be given when receipt of such transmission is acknowledged, and any communication so delivered in person shall be deemed to be given when receipted for by, or actually received by, an authorized officer of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent.
Β
14.2. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Majority Banks, the Administrative Agent (as agent for the Issuers) and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any amendment, also signed by the Borrower), and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an amendment, waiver or consent shall be made in writing and signed by each of the Banks, the Managing Agents, and the Administrative Agent, and each of the Rating Agencies shall confirm that any amendment will not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to any Commercial Paper Notes, no amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following:
Β
(a) amend the definitions of Eligible Mortgage Loan, Collateral Value, Advance Rate or Majority Banks or
Β
(b) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement in any way that would:
Β
(i) reduce the amount of principal or interest that is payable on account of any Advance or delay any scheduled date for payment thereof or
Β
(ii) impair any rights expressly granted to an assignee or participant under this Agreement or
Β
(iii) reduce the fees payable by the Borrower to the Managing Agents, to the Administrative Agent, or to the Lenders or
Β
(iv) delay the dates on which such fees are payable or
Β
(c) amend or waive the Event of Default set forth in Sections 8.1(f), (g) or (h) relating to the bankruptcy of the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or the Borrower or
Β
(d) amend or waive the Event of Default set forth in Sections 8.1(i), (j), (v) or (w) or
Β
(e) amend clause (a) of the definition of Drawdown Termination Date or
Β
(f) amend this Section 13.2;
Β
and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Servicer in addition to the other parties required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Servicer under this Agreement. No failure on the part of the Lenders, the Managing Agents, or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
Β
94
thereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
Β
14.3. Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in the Notes, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of such document.
Β
14.4. Restrictions on Informal Amendments. No course of dealing or waiver on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Affected Party, or any of their officers, employees, consultants or agents, or any failure or delay by any such Person with respect to exercising any right, power or privilege under the Notes, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall operate as an amendment to the express written terms of the Notes, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or shall act as a waiver of any right, power or privilege of any such Person.
Β
14.5. Cumulative Rights. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of each of the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents, and the Administrative Agent under the Notes, this Agreement, and any other Transaction Document shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy.
Β
14.6. Construction; Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL APPLY HERETO).
Β
14.7. Interest. Any provisions herein, in the Notes, or in any other Transaction Document, or any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith, or in any other agreement or commitment, whether written or oral, expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lenders shall in no event be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall or may amounts received hereunder be credited, so that the Lenders shall be paid, as interest, a sum greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged to the Person primarily obligated to pay such Note at the time in question. If any construction of this Agreement, any Note or any other Transaction Document, or any and all other papers, agreements or commitments indicate a different right given to a Lender to ask for, demand or receive any larger sum as interest, such is a mistake in calculation or wording that this clause shall override and control, it being the intention of the parties that this Agreement, each Note, and all other Transaction Documents or other documents executed or delivered in connection herewith shall in all things comply with applicable law and proper adjustments shall automatically be made accordingly. In the event that any of the Lenders shall ever receive, collect or apply as interest, any sum in excess of the maximum nonusurious rate permitted by applicable law (the βMaximum Rateβ), if any, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Note held by such Lender, and if such Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Rate, if any,
Β
95
the Borrower and each of the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) βspreadβ the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of the respective Note; provided that if any Note is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, if any, the respective Lender shall refund to the Borrower the amount of such excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Advances made by such Lender hereunder at the time in question.
Β
14.8. Right of Offset. The Borrower hereby grants to each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and to any assignee or participant a right of offset, to secure the repayment of the Obligations, upon any and all monies, securities or other Property of the Borrower, and the proceeds therefrom now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to such Person, from or for the account of the Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and credits of the Borrower, and any and all claims of the Borrower against such Person at any time existing, in accordance with the following sentence. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, such Person is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower, to offset, appropriate, and apply any and all items hereinabove referred to against the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any assignee or participant shall not have any right to offset, appropriate or apply any accounts of the Borrower that consist of escrowed funds (except and to the extent of any beneficial interest of the Borrower in such escrowed funds) that have been so identified by the Borrower in writing at the time of deposit thereof.
Β
14.9. Successors and Assigns.
Β
(a) This Agreement and the Lendersβ rights and obligations herein (including ownership of each Advance) shall be assignable by the Lenders and their successors and assigns to any Eligible Assignee. Each assignor of an Advance or any interest therein shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any such assignment.
Β
(b) Each Bank may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Bank all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Bank Commitment and any Advances or interests therein owned by it), provided however, that:
Β
(i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement,
Β
(ii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (x) $20,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning Bankβs Bank Commitment,
Β
96
(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500, and
Β
(iv) concurrently with such assignment, such assignor Bank shall assign to such assignee Bank an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under the related Liquidity Agreement.
Β
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder or under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and thereunder and (y) the assigning Bank shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bankβs rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party thereto).
Β
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 13.1 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Bank Commitment of, and aggregate outstanding principal of Advances or interests therein owned by, each Bank from time to time (the βRegisterβ). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Managing Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Managing Agents, the Administrative Agent or any Bank at any time and from time to time upon prior notice.
Β
(d) Each Bank may sell participations, to one or more banks or other entities that are Eligible Assignees, in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Bank Commitment and the Advances or interests therein owned by it); provided, however, that:
Β
(i) such Bankβs obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Bank Commitment to the Borrower thereunder) shall remain unchanged,
Β
(ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations, and
Β
(iii) concurrently with such participation, the selling Bank shall sell to such bank or other entity a participation in an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under the related Liquidity Agreement.
Β
97
The Administrative Agent, the other Banks, the Managing Agents, the Servicer and the Borrower shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bankβs rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Β
(e) The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent, and each Lender.
Β
(f) The parties hereto acknowledge that Atlantic has granted to the Atlantic Program Agent for the benefit of holders of its Commercial Paper Notes, its liquidity banks, and certain other creditors of Atlantic, a security interest in its right, title and interest in and to the Advances, the Transaction Documents and the Collateral. Each reference herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents to the Liens in the Collateral granted to Atlantic under the Transaction Documents shall be deemed to include a reference to such security interest of the Atlantic Program Agent.
Β
14.10. Survival of Termination. The provisions of Article X and Sections 2.12, 11.4, 13.14, 13.15 and 13.20 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Β
14.11. Exhibits. The exhibits attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this Agreement for the purposes stated herein, except that in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions of such exhibits and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
Β
14.12. Titles of Articles, Sections and Subsections. All titles or headings to articles, sections, subsections or other divisions of this Agreement or the exhibits hereto are only for the convenience of the parties and shall not be construed to have any effect or meaning with respect to the other content of such articles, sections, subsections or other divisions, such other content being controlling as to the agreement between the parties hereto.
Β
14.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of each of the parties hereto be contained on any one counterpart hereof; each counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Β
14.14. No Proceedings. The Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Bank hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Issuers, or join any other Person in instituting against the Issuers, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law so long as any Commercial Paper Notes issued by either of the Issuers shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Commercial Paper Notes shall have been outstanding. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Managing Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Bank to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any other Person.
Β
14.15. Confidentiality. The Borrower and the Servicer each hereby agrees that it will maintain and cause its respective employees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement,
Β
98
and the other Transaction Documents (and all drafts thereof), and each Lender, each Managing Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will maintain and cause its respective employees to maintain the confidentiality of the Collateral and all other non-public information with respect to the Borrower and the Servicer, and their respective businesses obtained by such party in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, in each case except (a) as may be required or appropriate in communications with its respective independent certified public accountants, legal advisors, or with independent financial rating agencies, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over it, (c) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) as may be required by or in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling, (e) as may be required or appropriate in connection with disclosures to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, of information relating in the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to the Borrower or any of the Originators relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, (f) in the case of any Bank, any Issuer, each Managing Agent, or the Administrative Agent, to any Liquidity Bank or provider of credit support to either of the Issuers, either Managing Agent, any dealer or placement Administrative Agent for either of the Issuersβ commercial paper, and any actual or potential assignee of, or participant in, any of the rights or obligations of such Lender, or (g) in the case of any Issuer, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, to any Person whom any dealer or placement Administrative Agent for either of the Issuers shall have identified as an actual or potential investor in Commercial Paper Notes; provided that any proposed recipient under clause (f) or (g) shall, as a condition to the receipt of any such information, agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof.
Β
14.16. No Recourse Against Directors, Officers, Etc. The Obligations are solely the entity obligations of the Borrower. No recourse for the Obligations shall be had hereunder against any director, officer, employee (in its capacity as such, and not as Servicer), trustee, Administrative Agent or any Person owning, directly or indirectly, any legal or beneficial interest in the Borrower (in its capacity as such owner, and not as Servicer, Performance Guarantor or otherwise as a party to any Transaction Document). This Section 13.16 shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of the Obligations, or (b) affect the validity or enforceability of the Performance Guaranty or any other Transaction Document to which the Originators, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any of their Affiliates may be a party.
Β
14.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED OR THAT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
Β
99
14.18. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT:
Β
