     Affected Party: Each Series 2009-1 Noteholder, the Deal Agent and each Interest Rate Hedge Provider.

If any of the foregoing events or conditions occur or exist, the Commitment Termination Date shall occur immediately, unless each Series 2009-1 Noteholder shall have waived in writing such event or condition.

          Section 203. Interest Payments on the Series 2009-1 Notes.
          (a) Interest on Series 2009-1 Notes. Interest shall be due and payable on each Series 2009-1 Note on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Series 2009-1 Note Interest Payment for such Series 2009-1 Note on such Payment Date. The Deal Agent shall, by not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding each Payment Date, deliver to each of the Issuer, the Manager and the Deal Agent a calculation of the Interest Payments payable on the Series 2009-1 Notes on such Payment Date. Such Interest Payments shall be payable on each Payment Date from amounts on deposit in the Series 2009-1 Series Account in accordance with Section 302 of this Supplement. To the extent that the amount of interest which is due and payable on any Payment Date is not paid in full on such date, such shortfall shall be due and payable on the immediately succeeding Payment Date.
          (b) Interest on Overdue Amounts. If the Issuer shall default in the payment of (i) the Series 2009-1 Note Principal Balance on the Legal Final Maturity Date, or (ii) the Series 2009-1 Note Interest Payment for any Series 2009-1 Note on any Payment Date, or (iii) any other amount due to the Series 2009-1 Noteholders under this Supplement and/or the Indenture on the date when due, then, in each case, the Issuer shall, from time to time, pay interest on such unpaid amounts, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to, but not including, the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment), at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate, for the period during which such principal, interest or other amount shall be unpaid from the due date of such payment to the date of actual payment thereof. Default Fees shall be distributed from the Series 2009-1 Series Account at the times and subject to the priorities set forth in Section 302 of this Supplement.
          (c) Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Series 2009-1 Note exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. If at any time the interest rate charged with respect to a Series 2009-1 Note exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to this Supplement and such Series 2009-1 Note shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, but any subsequent reductions in the Alternative Rate shall not reduce the interest to accrue on such Series 2009-1 Note below the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law until the total amount of interest accrued on such Series 2009-1 Note equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest rate had at all times been in effect. If the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Series 2009-1 Note under the foregoing provisions is less than the total amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all times been in effect, the Issuer agrees to pay to the Series 2009-1 Noteholders an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law had at all times been in effect, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of this Supplement.
          (d) Calculation of Interest. Interest on the Series 2009-1 Notes calculated utilizing the LIBOR Rate and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Interest on Series 2009-1 Notes calculated utilizing the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days

9

 

elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.
          Section 204. Principal Payments on the Series 2009-1 Notes.
