Each Variable Funding Note shall evidence each Purchaser’s ratable share of the security interest in the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 9.1 . Interest shall accrue, and each VFN shall be payable, as described herein. The VFN purchased by (1) WBNA shall be in the name of “Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as the WBNA Agent” and shall be in the face amount equal to $90,000,000 and otherwise duly completed, and (2) an Additional Purchaser shall be in the name of such Additional Purchaser and shall be in a face amount to be determined; provided , that the aggregate amount outstanding under all VFNs at any one time shall not exceed the Facility Amount.

     (b) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from the Closing Date to, but excluding the Termination Date, the Seller may, at its option, request the Purchasers to make advances of funds under the VFNs (each, an “ Advance ”) and the Purchasers shall make such Advance in an amount equal to their Pro-Rata Share of such requested Advance; provided , that in no event shall the Purchasers make any Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance the aggregate Advances Outstanding hereunder would exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility Amount or (ii) the Maximum Availability.
