Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Seller
whether the Issuers have determined to make the requested purchase
and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are
acceptable to the Issuers. If the Issuers have determined not to
make the entire amount of an Advance requested to be made, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly send notice of the proposed
Advance to all of the Liquidity Banks concurrently specifying the
date of such Advance, the aggregate amount of such Advance to be
funded by the Liquidity Banks (which amount shall be equal to the
portion of the Advance not funded by the Issuers), and each such

Notice delivered in connection with such Advance, and the Related
Security and Collections with respect thereto.
(d) On each
Funding Date, the obligation of each Liquidity Bank to remit its
pro rata share of each Advance shall be several from that of each
other Liquidity Bank and the failure of any Liquidity Bank to so
make such amount available to the Seller shall not relieve any
other Liquidity Bank of its obligation hereunder. No Liquidity Bank
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Liquidity Bank to
make funds available in connection with any Advance.

Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as the result
of any such reduction of the Advances Outstanding, and Seller has
paid all Hedge Breakage Costs and any payments owing to the
relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination. Any reduction
of the Advances Outstanding shall be in a minimum amount of
$250,000. Any such reduction will occur only if sufficient funds
have been remitted to pay all such amounts in the succeeding
sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative
Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata
reduction of the Advances Outstanding by paying such amounts to the
applicable Purchasers, second to the payment of related
accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be
repaid by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, and
third to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge
Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge
Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge

later determined not to have been an Eligible Asset as of the
related Cut-Off Date, upon the earlier of the Seller’s
receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Seller

breach within 30 days, the Seller shall be deemed to have
received on such day a collection (a “ Deemed
Collection ”) of such Asset in full and shall on such day
pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers and
each Hedge Counterparty, an amount equal to (x) the
Outstanding Asset Balance of the Asset (calculated without regard
to either of the provisos contained in the definition of
“Outstanding Asset Balance”) to be applied to the
pro rata reduction of the principal of each VFC plus
(y) any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other
payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of
the termination of any Hedge Transaction required as a result of
the Deemed Collection and retransfer of the related Asset
contemplated by this Section 2.4(c) . In connection
with any such Deemed Collection, the Administrative Agent, as agent
for the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further
action, be deemed to transfer to the Seller (or any Affiliate of
the Seller designated by the Seller), free and clear of any Lien
created by the Administrative Agent, all of the right, title and
interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured
Parties, in, to, and under the Asset with respect to which the

deemed to be recomputed) on each day prior to the Termination Date
as set forth in Section 2.1(a) . The variable
percentage ownership interest in the Collateral represented by each
VFC as computed (or deemed to be recomputed) as of the close of

repayment of principal thereof, and any such recordation shall
constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information
