refusal by the Subclass A-1 Note Purchaser to extend the Commitment Termination Date. It shall be a condition to the extension of the Commitment Termination Date that the commitment under the Subclass A-1 Note Purchase Agreement be extended to the same date.

SECTION 2.04. The Fundings.

SECTION 2.07. Payments, Computations, Etc.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.

(c) If any Funding requested by the Issuer and approved by the Subclass A-1 Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.04, is not, for any reason whatsoever related to a default or nonperformance by the Issuer, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Issuer shall indemnify the Subclass A-1 Note Purchaser against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the Subclass A-1 Note Purchaser, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Subclass A-1 Note Purchaser to fund or maintain such Funding during such Interest Accrual Period.

SECTION 2.08. Increased Costs. If due to the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the Interpretation of any law or regulation or the imposition of any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority after the date hereof reflecting such change, there shall be an increase in the cost to an Affected Person of making or maintaining any investment in the Subclass A-1 Note or any interest therein or of agreeing to purchase or invest in the Subclass A-1 Note or any interest therein, as the case may be (other than by reason of any Interpretation of or introduction of or change in laws or regulations relating to Taxes or Excluded Taxes), such Affected Person shall promptly submit to the Issuer, the Servicer and, if such Person is not the Purchaser’s Agent, the Purchaser’s Agent, a certificate

setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of such increased costs incurred by such Affected Person. In determining such amount, such Affected Person may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods, consistent with the averaging and attribution methods generally used by such Affected Person in determining amounts of this type. The amount of increased costs set forth in such certificate (which certificate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence as to such amount) shall be included in the Subclass A-1 Increased Costs for the Interest Accrual Period immediately succeeding the date on which such certificate was delivered (or if such certificate was delivered during the last Interest Accrual Period, for such last Interest Accrual Period) and to the extent remaining outstanding, each Interest Accrual Period thereafter until paid in full. The Purchaser’s Agent, out of amounts received by it in respect of Subclass A-1 Increased Costs for Affected Persons for any Interest Accrual Period, shall pay such increased costs to such Affected Persons; provided, however, that if the amount so distributable in respect of the Subclass A-1 Increased Costs is less than the aggregate amount payable to all such Affected Persons pursuant to Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 2.10 hereof, the resulting shortfall shall be allocated among such Affected Persons on a pro rata basis (determined by the amount owed to each).

SECTION 2.09. Increased Capital. If the introduction of or any change in or in the Interpretation of any law or regulation or the imposition of any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority reflecting such change after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Affected Person, and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a result of (i) the existence of the Subclass A-1 Note Purchaser’s agreement to make or maintain an investment in the Subclass A-1 Note or any interest therein and other similar agreements or facilities, or (ii) the existence of any agreement by Affected Persons to make or maintain an investment in the Subclass A-1 Note or any interest therein or to fund any such investment and any other commitments of the same type, such Affected Person shall promptly submit to the Issuer, the Servicer and, if such Person is not the Purchaser’s Agent, the Purchaser’s Agent, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of the additional amounts required to compensate such Affected Person in light of such circumstances. In determining such amount, such Affected Person may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods, consistent with the averaging and attribution methods generally used by such Affected Person in determining amounts of this type. The amount set forth in such certificate (which certificate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence as to such amount) shall be included in the Subclass A-1 Increased Costs for the Interest Accrual Period immediately succeeding the date on which such certificate was delivered (or if such certificate was delivered during the last Interest Accrual Period, for such last Interest Accrual Period), and to the extent remaining outstanding, each Accrual Period thereafter until paid in full. The Purchaser’s Agent, out of amounts received by it in respect of Subclass A-1 Increased Costs for Affected Persons for any Interest Accrual Period, shall pay such increased costs to such Affected Persons; provided, however, that if the amount so distributable in respect of the Subclass A-1 Increased Costs is less than the aggregate amount payable to all such Affected Persons pursuant to Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 2.10 hereof, the resulting shortfall shall be allocated among such Affected Persons on a pro rata basis (determined by the amount owed to each).

SECTION 2.10. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be made under this Agreement, the Subclass A-1 Note or the Indenture by the Issuer or the

Indenture Trustee to or for the benefit of an Owner shall be made, to the extent allowed by law, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. If, as a result of any change in law, treaty or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or regulatory agency or body charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, or the adoption of any law, treaty or regulation, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees are required to be withheld from any amount payable to any Owner hereunder, the amount so payable to such Owner shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Owner (after payment of all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees) the amount stated to be payable to such Owner hereunder (such increase and any similar increase described in Section 2.10(d), a “Section 2.10(a) Amount”); provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to (i) income taxes (including, without limitation, branch profits taxes, minimum taxes and taxes computed under alternative methods, at least one of which is based on net income) and franchise taxes that are based on income or any other tax upon or measured by income or gross receipts imposed on any Owner, in each case, as a result of a present or former connection (other than any connection arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax and such Owner; (ii) any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees that would not have been imposed but for the failure by such Owner to provide and keep current any certification or other documentation permitted by applicable law to be delivered by such Owner and required to qualify for an exemption from or reduced rate thereof; (iii) any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees imposed as a result of a change by any Owner of the office through which the Subclass A-1 Note or any interest therein hereunder is acquired, accounted for or booked as a result of the sale, transfer or assignment by any Owner of its interest hereunder, other than any such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees imposed as a result of any such change or adoption occurring after any such Subclass A-1 Note or interest therein is acquired, accounted for or booked; (iv) taxes measured by income, gross receipts, assets or capital of any Owner by the taxing authority of the jurisdiction where such Owner is organized, incorporated, managed, controlled or is considered to be doing business or in which it maintains an office, branch or agency (other than Taxes imposed on the gross amount of any payments made to under this Agreement without regard to such place of origination or incorporation, such management or control, the conduct of such business or the maintenance of such office, branch or agency); (v) any Taxes imposed on such Owner as a result of payments not related to this Agreement; and (vi) any withholding tax with respect to any Owner (all such exclusions being hereinafter called “Excluded Taxes” and all other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees being hereinafter called “Taxes”). To the extent that any Owner actually realizes a tax benefit on its income tax returns (whether by reason of a deduction, credit or otherwise) (a “Tax Benefit”) for a given year that is attributable to the payment by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of any such Taxes on behalf of such Owner, such Owner shall reimburse the Issuer for the amount of such Tax Benefit, it being understood that the taking of any action to realize any Tax Benefit shall be within the sole discretion of such Owner; provided, however, that for purposes of reimbursing the Issuer, such Owner shall calculate the amount of the Tax Benefit realized that is attributable to the Issuer’s or the Indenture Trustee’s payment of such Taxes on behalf of such Owner as if such Owner realized or received such Tax Benefit pro rata with all other Tax Benefits available to it for such year.

(b) Each of the Issuer and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (including the Code), each Owner agrees that, with respect to all Federal, state and local income franchise taxes, it will treat the Subclass A-1 Note as indebtedness. Each Owner not organized under the laws of the United States or a State thereof covenants that to the extent that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes (other than Withholding Taxes) because such income is effectively connected with a United States trade or business, it will continue to hold the Subclass A-1 Note in connection with a United States trade or business for so long as it is an Owner.

(c) Any Section 2.10(a) Amounts payable to an Owner hereunder shall be included in the Subclass A-1 Increased Costs (i) for the Interest Accrual Period in respect of which the payment subject to withholding is made and (ii) to the extent remaining outstanding, each Interest Accrual Period thereafter until paid in full. The Purchaser’s Agent, out of amounts received by it in respect of Subclass A-1 Increased Costs for Affected Persons for any Interest Accrual Period, shall pay such increased costs to such Affected Persons; provided, however, that if the amount so distributable in respect of the Subclass A-1 Increased Costs is less than the aggregate amount payable to all such Affected Persons pursuant to Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 2.10 hereof, the resulting shortfall shall be allocated among such Affected Persons on a pro rata basis (determined by the amount owed to each).

(d) If, in connection with an agreement or other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to any Owner in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of its interest in the Subclass A-1 Note or any interest therein hereunder, such Owner is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described in this Section 2.10, then the amounts payable to such Owner hereunder shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Owner (after payment of all Taxes to such bank or other financial institutions) the amount stated to be payable to such Owner hereunder.

SECTION 9.03. Purchaser’s Agent and Affiliate. Barclays Bank PLC and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Issuer or the Servicer, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Issuer or the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all as if Barclays Bank PLC were not the Purchaser’s Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Sheffield Owners.

SECTION 9.04. Indemnification. Each Sheffield Owner severally agrees to indemnify the Purchaser’s Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Issuer or the Servicer), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Purchaser’s Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Subclass A-1 Note Purchase Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Purchaser’s Agent under this Subclass A-1 Note Purchase Agreement; provided, that (i) a Sheffield Owner shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting or arising from the Purchaser’s Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) a Sheffield Owner shall not be liable for any amount in respect of any compromise or settlement or any of the foregoing unless such compromise or settlement is approved by the Subclass A-1 Note Purchaser. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Sheffield Owner agrees to reimburse the Purchaser’s Agent, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Purchaser’s Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or

enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Subclass A-1 Note Purchase Agreement; provided, that no Sheffield Owner shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of the Purchaser’s Agent in defending itself against any claim alleging the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Purchaser’s Agent to the extent such gross negligence or willful misconduct is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.

SECTION 9.05. Purchase Decision. Each Sheffield Owner acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Purchaser’s Agent, any other Sheffield Owner or any of their respective Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Subclass A-1 Note Purchase Agreement and to purchase an interest in the Subclass A-1 Note. Each Sheffield Owner also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Purchaser’s Agent, any other Sheffield Owner or any of their respective Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Subclass A-1 Note Purchase Agreement or any related agreement, instrument or other document.

SECTION 9.06. Successor Purchaser’s Agent. (a) The Purchaser’s Agent may resign at any time by giving sixty days’ written notice thereof to the Sheffield Owners, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. Upon any such resignation, a majority of the Sheffield Owners shall have the right to appoint a successor Purchaser’s Agent approved by the Issuer (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Purchaser’s Agent shall have been so appointed by a majority of the Sheffield Owners and shall have accepted such appointment, within sixty days after the retiring Purchaser’s Agent’s giving of notice or resignation, then the retiring Purchaser’s Agent may, on behalf of the Sheffield Owners appoint a successor Purchaser’s Agent. If such successor Purchaser’s Agent is not an Affiliate of Barclays Bank PLC, such successor Purchaser’s Agent shall be subject to the Issuer’s prior written consent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Purchaser’s Agent hereunder by a successor Purchaser’s Agent, such successor Purchaser’s Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Purchaser’s Agent, and the retiring Purchaser’s Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Subclass A-1 Note Purchase Agreement. After any retiring Purchaser’s Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Purchaser’s Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Purchaser’s Agent under this Subclass A-1 Note Purchase Agreement.
