The Administrative Agent further confirms that the Series 2013-VF1 Notes issued on the Issuance Date pursuant to this Indenture Supplement shall be issued in the name of “Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent on behalf of Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Committed Purchaser, and Alpine Securitization Corp., as Conduit Purchaser,” as applicable, and the Administrative Agent hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to issue the Series 2013-VF1 Notes in the name of “Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent on behalf of Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Committed Purchaser, and Alpine Securitization Corp., as Conduit Purchaser,” as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto hereby agree that, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act as agent of each Noteholder of a 2013-VF1 Note and shall determine the allocation of “Additional Note Balances” (as such term is defined in the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement) to be purchased by each such Noteholder.
21
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure pay any Target Amortization Amount when due, as described in the definition thereof, shall constitute an Event of Default.
There are no “Other Advance Rate Reduction Events” in respect of the Series 2013-VF1 Notes. If any Other Advance Rate Reduction Event in respect of any other Series of Notes is the same as any reduction event specified in clause (iv) of the definition of “Facility Early Amortization Event,” and the related Other Advance Rate Reduction Event Cure Period is shorter than the applicable grace period for the same event specified in clause (iv) of the definition of “Facility Early Amortization Event”, then solely for purposes of the Series 2013-VF1 Notes, the applicable grace period specified in clause (iv) of the definition of “Facility Early Amortization Event” shall be reduced to the Other Advance Rate Reduction Event Cure Period.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer may reduce the Maximum VFN Principal Balance at any time to an amount not less than the current VFN Principal Balance.
Section 7. Extension of Expected Repayment Date.
The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, may request one (1) extension of the Expected Repayment Date for any of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Optional Extension Date. The Administrative Agent shall provide written notice of whether the Administrative Agent agrees to extend the Expected Repayment Date on such Optional Extension Date at least five (5) days prior to such Optional Extension Date. If the Administrative Agent provides written notice of its agreement to extend the Expected Repayment Date, the Expected Repayment Date will be extended on such Optional Extension Date such that, after giving effect to any such extension, the Expected Repayment Date will be 180 days after the Expected Repayment Date. The Expected Repayment Date of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes cannot be extended past the Expected Repayment Date for any other Outstanding Series of Variable Funding Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Expected Repayment Date of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes shall be extended only by written notice from the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 7.
Section 8. Determination of Note Interest Rate and LIBOR.
(a) At least one (1) Business Day prior to each Determination Date, the Administrator shall calculate the Note Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period (in the case of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes using the Commercial Paper Rate determined by the Conduit Administrative Agent and One Month LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8(b) below, as applicable) and the Interest Payment Amount for the Series 2013-VF1 Notes for the upcoming Payment Date, and include a report of such amount in the related Payment Date Report.
(b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Administrative Agent will determine the arithmetic mean of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) quotations for one-month Eurodollar deposits (“One-Month LIBOR”) for the succeeding Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2013-VF1 Notes on the basis of the Reference Banks’ offered LIBOR quotations provided
22
to the Calculation Agent as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date. As used herein with respect to a LIBOR Determination Date, “Reference Banks” means leading banks engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market (i) with an established place of business in London, (ii) whose quotations appear on the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page for the LIBOR Determination Date in question and (iii) which have been designated as such by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) and are able and willing to provide such quotations to the Calculation Agent for each LIBOR Determination Date; and “Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page” means the display designated as page US0001M Index Page on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News (or such other pages as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying LIBOR quotations of major banks). If any Reference Bank should be removed from the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page or in any other way fails to meet the qualifications of a Reference Bank, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, designate an alternative Reference Bank.
If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, two or more of the Reference Banks provide offered One-Month LIBOR quotations on the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page, One-Month LIBOR for the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes will be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal places).
If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provides such offered One-Month LIBOR quotations for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period, One-Month LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2013-VF1 Notes will be the higher of (x) One-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous LIBOR Determination Date and (y) the Reserve Interest Rate. The “Reserve Interest Rate” on any date of determination will be the rate per annum that the Administrative Agent determines to be either (A) the arithmetic mean (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal places) of the one-month Eurodollar lending rate that New York City banks selected by the Administrative Agent are quoting, on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two leading banks in the London Interbank market or (B) in the event that the Administrative Agent is unable to determine such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month Eurodollar lending rate that the New York City banks so selected by the Administrative Agent are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date to leading European banks.
If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, the Administrative Agent is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in the preceding paragraph, One-Month LIBOR for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period will be One-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous LIBOR Determination Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, One-Month LIBOR for an Interest Accrual Period shall not be based on One-Month LIBOR for the previous Interest Accrual Period on the Series 2013-VF1 Notes for two consecutive LIBOR Determination Dates. If, under the priorities described above, One-Month LIBOR for an Interest Accrual Period on the Series 2013-VF1 Notes would be based on One-Month LIBOR for the previous LIBOR Determination Date for the second consecutive LIBOR Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall select an alternative index (over which the Administrative Agent has no control) used for determining one-month
23
Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent third party, and this alternative index shall constitute One-Month LIBOR for all purposes under this Indenture Supplement in that event.
(c) The establishment of the Commercial Paper Rate by the Conduit Administrative Agent and One-Month LIBOR by the Administrative Agent and the Administrator’s subsequent calculation of the Note Interest Rate on the Series 2013-VF1 Notes for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.
Section 9. Increased Costs.
(a) If any Regulatory Change or other requirement of any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to a Noteholder of a Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Note (a “Requirement of Law”) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Noteholder with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(1) shall subject such Noteholder to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to its Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Note (excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes imposed on such Noteholder as a result of any present or former connection between such Noteholder and the United States, other than any such connection arising solely from such Noteholder having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Indenture Supplement or any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under Code sections 1471 through 1474 as of the date of this Indenture Supplement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any regulations or official interpretations thereunder and any agreements entered into under section 1471(b) of the Code) or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Noteholder in respect thereof; shall impose, modify or hold 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, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Noteholder which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Note Interest Rate hereunder; or
(2) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or credit extended or participated by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Noteholder which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Note Interest Rate hereunder; or
(3) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Noteholder’s capital or on the capital of such Noteholder’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Indenture Supplement, in the case of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement, or the
24
Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes to a level below that which such Noteholder or such Noteholder’s holding company could have achieved but for such Requirements of Law (other than any Regulatory Change, Requirement of Law, interpretation or application thereof, request or directive with respect to taxes) (taking into consideration such Noteholder’s policies and the policies of such Noteholder’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy); or
(4) shall impose on such Noteholder or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to taxes) affecting this Indenture Supplement, in the case of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement or the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes or any participation therein; or
(5) shall impose on such Noteholder any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Noteholder, by an amount which such Noteholder deems to be material, of continuing to hold its Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Note, of maintaining its obligations with respect thereto, or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Noteholder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) or (in the case of any change in a Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Noteholder or any Person controlling such Noteholder with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Noteholder’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its obligations as a Noteholder of a Variable Funding Note to a level below that which such Noteholder or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Noteholder’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Noteholder to be material, then, in any such case, such Noteholder shall invoice the Administrator for such additional amount or amounts as calculated by such Noteholder in good faith as will compensate such Noteholder for such increased cost or reduced amount, and such invoiced amount shall be payable to such Noteholder on the Payment Date following the next Determination Date following such invoice, in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(1)(ii) or Section 4.5(a)(2)(ii) of the Base Indenture, as applicable; provided, however, that any amount of Increased Costs in excess of the Increased Costs Limit shall be payable to such Noteholder in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(1)(ix) or Section 4.5(a)(2)(iv) of the Base Indenture, as applicable.
(b) Each Support Party (as such term is defined in the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement) shall be entitled to receive additional payments and indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 as though it were a Committed Purchaser and such Section applied to its interest in or commitment to acquire an interest in the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes; provided, that such Support Party shall not be entitled to additional payments pursuant to this Section 9 by reason of Requirements of Law which occurred prior to the date it became a Support Party; provided, further, that such Support Party shall be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 9 only to the extent that its related Conduit Purchaser would have been entitled to
25
receive such amounts in the absence of Support Advances (as such term is defined in the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement) from such Support Party. The provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to the Conduit Administrative Agent and to such of its Affiliates as may from time to time administer, make referrals to or otherwise provide services or support to the Conduit Purchasers (in each case as though such Conduit Administrative Agent or Affiliate were a Purchaser and such Section applied to its administration of or other provisions of services or support to such Conduit Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), whether as an administrator, administrative agent, referral agent, managing agent or otherwise.
(c) Increased Costs payable under this Section 9 shall be payable on a Payment Date only to the extent invoiced to the Indenture Trustee prior to the related Determination Date.
Section 10. Series Reports.
