The Deal Agent may act on behalf of and for the benefit of the VFCC Purchaser Group in this regard and each Liquidity Agent may act on behalf of and for the benefit of its Purchaser Group. Each CP Conduit may, in its sole discretion, make such Advance, or if a CP Conduit shall decline to make such Advance, the Liquidity Agent related to such CP Conduit shall make the Advance on behalf of the Investors related to such Purchaser Group, in each case, from time to time requested by the Borrower during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date. Under no circumstances shall any Lender make an Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance, (A) the aggregate Capital outstanding hereunder would exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility Limit and (ii) the Borrowing Base or (B) with respect to each Purchaser Group, the aggregate Capital funded or maintained by the Lenders in such Purchaser Group would exceed its Purchaser Group Facility Limit.

(b) (i) The Borrower may, within 60 days, but no later than 45 days, prior to the then existing Commitment Termination Date, by written notice to the Deal Agent and each Liquidity Agent, make written request for the CP Conduits and the Investors to extend the Commitment Termination Date for an additional period of 364 days. Each Liquidity Agent will give prompt notice to its Purchaser Group of its receipt of such request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date. Each CP Conduit and each Investor shall make a determination, in their sole discretion, not less than 15 days prior to the then applicable Commitment Termination Date as to whether or not it will agree to extend the Commitment Termination Date; provided , however , that the failure of any CP Conduit or any Investor to make a timely response to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such CP Conduit or Investor, as the case may be, to extend the Commitment Termination Date. With respect to each Purchaser Group, the Commitment Termination Date shall only be extended upon the consent of (i) the related CP Conduit and (ii) 100% of the related Investors.

(ii) Any Investor which notifies the applicable Liquidity Agent of its refusal to consent to the extension or which does not expressly notify such Liquidity Agent that it is willing to consent to an extension of the Commitment Termination Date during the time period set forth in clause (b)(i) above shall be deemed to be a “ Dissenting Investor ” from the date of its refusal notice or the end of the applicable time period set forth in clause (i) above and, after the Commitment Termination Date then in effect, such Dissenting Investor’s Commitment shall be zero. If an Investor has agreed to extend its Commitment Termination Date, and, at the end of the applicable time period set forth in clause (i) above no Termination Event shall have occurred, the Commitment Termination Date for such Investor then in effect shall be extended to the date which is 364 days following the first day of the time period set forth in clause (i) above or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day.

(iii) Within two Business Days following the end of the time period set forth in clause (i) above, the Liquidity Agent for each Purchaser Group shall notify each other Investor in such Purchaser Group, the Deal Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer of the identity of any Dissenting Purchaser and the amount of its Commitment, if any. The affected CP Conduit, may (but shall not be required to) request one or more other Investors in such Purchaser Group, with the consent of the related Liquidity Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), or seek another financial institution reasonably acceptable to such Liquidity Agent and, the affected CP Conduit in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of the Commitment of the Dissenting Investor and all amounts payable to it hereunder. Each Dissenting Investor hereby agrees to assign all or a portion of its Commitment and the amounts payable to it hereunder to a replacement investor identified by the Liquidity Agent for its Purchaser Group in accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to ratable payment of such Dissenting Investor’s portion of the Capital, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and a ratable portion of all fees and other amounts due to it hereunder.

(iv) If the Commitment of a Dissenting Investor is not assigned in accordance with subsection (b)(iii), (A) the Purchaser Group Facility Limit shall be reduced by the Commitment of the Dissenting Investor existing on the Commitment Termination Date; and (B) the Facility Limit shall be reduced by the Commitment of the Dissenting Investor existing on the Commitment Termination Date. The Capital outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date in effect on the date such Investor becomes a Dissenting Investor shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.7(a)(viii).

The applicable Liquidity Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, make a notation on the schedule attached to each Note of the date and the amount of the Fundings and the date and amount of the payment of principal thereon, and prior to any transfer of a Note, the applicable Liquidity Agent shall endorse the outstanding principal amount of such Note on the schedule attached thereto; provided , however , that failure to make such notation shall not adversely affect any Lender’s rights with respect to such Note.

(ii) Although the Notes shall be dated the Effective Date, interest in respect thereof shall be payable only for the periods during which amounts are outstanding thereunder. In addition, although the stated principal amount of each Note shall be equal to the Commitment Amount of the related Purchaser Group, such Note shall be enforceable with respect to the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal thereof only to the extent of the unpaid principal amount of the Capital outstanding thereunder at the time such enforcement shall be sought.

(b) The Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges its acceptance, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of the pledge by the Borrower of the Loans and all other Collateral.

The Collateral Agent shall provide the Borrower with written notice five Business Days prior to any disclosure pursuant to this subsection 2.2(c).

Section 2.3. Procedures for Funding of Advances . (a) Each Advance hereunder shall be requested by the Borrower delivering to the Deal Agent and the Liquidity Agents (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) a duly completed Funding Notice no later than 5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date. Each Funding Notice shall: (i) specify the desired amount of such Funding which amount must (a) in the case of the initial funding hereunder (the “ Initial Funding ”) be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, and (b) in the case of any Incremental Funding, be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof, (ii) specify the date of such Funding, and (iii) include a representation that all conditions precedent for a Funding described in Article III hereof have been met. Each Funding shall be allocated pro rata among each Purchaser Group based upon the aggregate Commitments related to each Purchaser Group as a percentage of the Total Commitment. Each Funding Notice shall be irrevocable.

(b) Following receipt of such Funding Notice, the Deal Agent, in the case of the VFCC Purchaser Group, and each Liquidity Agent, in the case of each other Purchaser Group, will consult with VFCC, or the related CP Conduit, as applicable, in order to assist VFCC or the CP Conduit, as applicable, in determining whether or not to make the Advance. If a CP Conduit decides in its sole discretion that it is unwilling or unable to make a proposed Advance, the Investors related to such CP Conduit will make such Advance. Each CP Conduit shall notify its Liquidity Agent by 10:00 am (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date whether it has elected to effect the proposed Funding and each Liquidity Agent will notify the related Investors by 11:00 am (New York City time) on such Funding Date if the related CP Conduit has elected not to effect all or a portion of the proposed Funding. On the Funding Date, the CP Conduit or Investors shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Borrower in same day funds, at such bank or other location reasonably designated by Borrower in its Funding Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount requested by the Borrower from such Purchaser Group for such Advance or (B) the excess of the total Commitments related to such Purchaser Group over such Purchaser Group’s portion of Capital then outstanding.

(c) In the event that notwithstanding the fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III hereof with respect to a Funding, a CP Conduit elected to make a Funding on a Funding Date but failed to make such amount available to the Borrower on such date, such CP Conduit shall be deemed to have rescinded its election to make such purchase, and neither the Borrower nor any other party shall have any claim against such CP Conduit by reason of its failure to timely effect such Funding. In any such case, the Liquidity Agent for the related Purchaser Group shall give notice of such failure not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Funding Date to each Investor for such CP Conduit and to the Borrower, which notice shall specify (i) the identity of such CP Conduit and (ii) the amount of the Funding which it had elected but failed to make. Subject to receiving such notice, each of such CP Conduit’s Investors shall effect such funding on such Funding Date and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) In no event shall an Investor be required on any date to make any Funding which would result in its portion of the Capital, determined after giving effect to such funding, exceeding its Commitment.

Section 2.4. Determination of Yield . The Deal Agent, with respect to the VFCC Purchaser Group, and the related Liquidity Agent with respect to each other Purchaser Group, shall initially determine the applicable Yield Rate and the Yield (including unpaid Yield, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Borrower with respect to the Advance on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Servicer and the Backup Servicer thereof on the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date. Prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, the Deal Agent, on behalf of the VFCC Purchaser Group and each Liquidity Agent, with respect to its Purchaser Group, shall determine the amount of Yield, if any, payable in connection with Section 2.16(a)(iv) and not previously paid. The amount owed in respect of the Yield for the next succeeding Accrual Period, as initially determined by the Deal Agent, or Liquidity Agent, as applicable shall be increased, if necessary and as appropriate, to reflect any Yield payable in connection with Section 2.16(a)(iv) and not previously paid.

(a) The Borrower may, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Deal Agent and each Liquidity Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Limit that exceeds the aggregate Capital. With respect to any such reduction, (a) the Commitments of the Investors within each Purchaser Group shall be reduced proportionately based upon the total Commitments of such Purchaser Group and (b) each Purchaser Group Facility Limit shall be reduced pro rata based upon the Purchaser Group Facility Limit as a percentage of the Facility Limit; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Facility Limit shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall be irrevocable.

(b) In the event that an Investor is a Downgraded Investor, the related CP Conduit shall have the right to replace such Investor with a replacement Investor consented to by the Borrower (which consent shall not be withheld except for a commercially reasonable purpose or reason), which replacement Investor shall succeed to the rights of such Investor under this Agreement in respect of its Commitment as an Investor, and such Investor shall assign such Commitment and its interest in the Capital to such replacement Investor in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5(b); provided , that (A) such Investor shall not be replaced hereunder with a new investor until such Investor has been paid in full its outstanding portion of the Capital and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon by such new investor and all other amounts owed to it pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this subsection, an Investor shall be a “ Downgraded Investor ” if and so long as the credit rating assigned to its short-term obligations by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s on the date on which it became a party to this Agreement shall have been reduced or withdrawn, or as may be otherwise agreed among the Borrower, such Investor, the CP Conduit in its Purchaser Group and the Deal Agent.

The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not apply with respect to net income or franchise taxes imposed on a Lender or the Deal Agent, respectively, with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or Servicer under this Agreement, by a taxing jurisdiction in which such Lender or Deal Agent is organized, conducts business or is paying taxes as of the Effective Date (as the case may be).

No such reduction shall be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that any derivative transaction related thereto be terminated in whole or in part as a result of any such reduction in the Capital and Borrower has paid all Hedge Costs due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination.

(v) Upon receipt of the amount set forth in Section 2.16(a)(iv), the Collateral Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro-rata reduction of the Capital, second to the payment of accrued Yield on the amount of Capital to be repaid and to the payment of any Breakage Costs, by paying such amounts to the Lenders, and third to pay any Hedge Costs related to such reduction of the Capital due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty, and fourth to pay all other Aggregate Unpaids related to such reduction of the Capital due to the relevant party.
