SECTION 4.10. Investor Charge-Offs.

(a) On or before each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class A Investor Loss Amount. If on any Distribution Date, the Class A Investor Loss Amount for the prior Due Period exceeds the sum of the amounts allocated with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.9(a)(iii), subsection 4.11(a) and Section 4.12 with respect to such Due Period, the Class D-2 Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D-2 Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (e) and any Reallocated Class D-2 Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount of such excess. If such reduction would cause the Class D-2 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-2 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class D-1 Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D-1 Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (e) and any Reallocated Class D-1 Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-2 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class D-1 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-1 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class C Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class C Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (d) and any Reallocated Class C Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-1 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class C Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class C Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class B Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (c) and any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class C Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class B Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class B Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class M Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class M Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (b) and any Reallocated Class M Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class M Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class M Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class A Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount by which the Class M Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than

 

47


the Class A Investor Loss Amount for such Distribution Date. Additionally, the Class A Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount of any Series 2007-1 Unfunded Dilution Amount remaining after giving effect to any related Class M Investor Charge-Off, Class B Investor Charge-Off, Class C Investor Charge-Off and Class D Investor Charge-Off. The reductions described in the two prior sentences are referred to collectively as a “Class A Investor Charge-Off”. If the Class A Investor Interest has been reduced by the amount of any Class A Investor Charge-Offs, it will be reimbursed on any Distribution Date (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate Class A Investor Charge-Offs) by the amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for such purpose pursuant to subsection 4.11(b).

(b) On or before each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class M Investor Loss Amount. If on any Distribution Date, the Class M Investor Loss Amount for the prior Due Period exceeds the amounts allocated with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) and Section 4.12 with respect to such Due Period, the Class D-2 Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D-2 Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (a) and paragraph (e) and any Reallocated Class D-2 Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount of such excess. If such reduction would cause the Class D-2 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-2 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class D-1 Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D-1 Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (a) and paragraph (e) and any Reallocated Class D-1 Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-2 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class D-1 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-1 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class C Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class C Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (a) and paragraph (d) and any Reallocated Class C Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-1 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class C Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class C Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class B Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (a) and paragraph (c) and any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class C Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class B Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class B Investor Interest shall be reduced to zero, and the Class M Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the Class M Investor Loss Amount for such Distribution Date. Additionally, the Class M Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount of any Series 2007-1 Unfunded Dilution Amount remaining after giving effect to any related Class B Investor Charge-Off, Class C Investor Charge-Off and Class D Investor Charge-Off. The reductions to the Class M Investor Interest under this subsection 4.10(b), together with all reductions to the Class M Investor Interest under subsection 4.10(a), are collectively referred to as a “Class M Investor Charge-Off”. The Class M Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but not to an amount in excess of the unpaid principal amount of the Class M Certificates) on any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose as described under subsection 4.11(d).

 

48


(c) On or before each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class B Investor Loss Amount. If on any Distribution Date, the Class B Investor Loss Amount for the prior Due Period exceeds the amounts allocated with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 4.11(e) and Section 4.12 with respect to such Due Period, the Class D-2 Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D-2 Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (a), paragraph (b) and paragraph (e) and any Reallocated Class D-2 Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount of such excess. If such reduction would cause the Class D-2 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-2 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class D-1 Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D-1 Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (a), paragraph (b) and paragraph (e) and any Reallocated Class D-1 Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-2 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class D-1 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-1 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class C Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class C Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraph (a), paragraph (b) and paragraph (d) and any Reallocated Class C Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-1 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class C Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class C Investor Interest shall be reduced to zero and the Class B Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by which the Class C Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the Class B Investor Loss Amount for such Distribution Date. Additionally, the Class B Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount of any Series 2007-1 Unfunded Dilution Amount remaining after giving effect to any related Class C Investor Charge-Off and Class D Investor Charge-Off. The reductions to the Class B Investor Interest under this subsection 4.10(c), together with all reductions to the Class B Investor Interest under subsections 4.10(a) and 4.10(b), are collectively referred to as a “Class B Investor Charge-Off”. The Class B Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but not to an amount in excess of the unpaid principal amount of the Class B Certificates) on any Distribution Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose as described under subsection 4.11(f).

(d) On or before each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class C Investor Loss Amount. If on any Distribution Date, the Class C Investor Loss Amount for the prior Due Period exceeds the amount of Excess Spread, Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections and Reallocated Class D Principal Collections which are allocated and available to fund such amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(i) and Section 4.12, the Class D-2 Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D-2 Investor Charge-Offs described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) and paragraph (e) and any Reallocated Class D-2 Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount of such excess. If such reduction would cause the Class D-2 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-2 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class D-1 Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class D-1 Investor Charge-Offs described in

 

49


paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) and paragraph (e) and any Reallocated Class D-1 Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-2 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. If such reduction would cause the Class D-1 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-1 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class C Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-1 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the Class C Investor Loss Amount for such Distribution Date. Additionally, the Class C Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount of any Series 2007-1 Unfunded Dilution Amount remaining after giving effect to any related Class D Investor Charge-Off. The reductions to the Class C Investor Interest under this subsection 4.10(d), together with all reductions to the Class C Investor Interest under subsections 4.10(a), (b) and (c), are referred to collectively as a “Class C Investor Charge-Off”. The Class C Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but not in excess of the unreimbursed amount of such reductions) on any Distribution Date by the amount of the Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available under subsection 4.11(k).

(e) On or before each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class D Investor Loss Amount. If on any Distribution Date, the Class D Investor Loss Amount for the prior Due Period exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections which is allocated and available to fund such amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(o), the
Class D-2 Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount of such excess. If such reduction would cause the Class D-2 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-2 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class D-1 Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-2 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero but not by more than the lesser of any remaining Class D Investor Loss Amount for such Distribution Date and the Class D-1 Investor Interest. Additionally, the Class D-2 Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount of any Series 2007-1 Unfunded Dilution Amount. If such reduction would cause the Class D-2 Investor Interest to be a negative number (but for the proviso in the definition thereof), the Class D-2 Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class D-1 Investor Interest will be reduced by the amount by which the Class D-2 Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero but not by more than the lesser of any remaining Series 2007-1 Unfunded Dilution Amount for such Distribution Date and the Class D-1 Investor Interest. The reductions to the Class D-2 Investor Interest under this clause (e), together with all reductions to the Class D-2 Investor Interest under subsections 4.10(a), (b), (c) and (d), are referred to collectively as a “Class D-2 Investor Charge-Off”. The reductions to the Class D-1 Investor Interest under this subsection 4.10(e), together with all reductions to the Class D-1 Investor Interest under subsections 4.10(a), (b), (c) and (d), are referred to collectively as a “Class D-1 Investor Charge-Off”. Each of the Class D-1 Investor Interest and the
Class D-2 Investor Interest will thereafter be reimbursed (but not in excess of the unreimbursed amount of such reductions) on any Distribution Date by the amount of the Excess Spread and Shared Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and available for that purpose as described under subsection 4.11(q).

The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, promptly provide the Trustee with all information necessary to allow the Trustee to make such payment, deposit or withdrawal.

SECTION 4.16. Purchase and Cancellation of Certificates. The Seller may on any Distribution Date on or after the Funding Period Termination Distribution Date, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Trustee, purchase Series 2007-1 Certificates on the secondary market and request the Trustee to cancel such Series 2007-1 Certificates purchased by the Seller on such Distribution Date.

If such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be determined based on the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of the Designated Maturity. The Trustee or the Hedge Counterparty will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in New York City, selected by the Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period of the Designated Maturity.

Such Paired Series either shall be prefunded with an initial deposit to a prefunding account in an amount up to the initial principal amount of such Paired Series and primarily from the sale of such Paired Series or shall have a variable principal amount. Any such prefunding account shall be held for the benefit of such Paired Series and not for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Certificateholders. As funds in the Collection Account are allocated for distribution as Available Principal Collections during the Early Amortization Period or Controlled Amortization Period, either (i) in the case of a prefunded Paired Series, an equal amount of funds in any prefunding account for such Paired Series shall be released and distributed pursuant to the terms of such Paired Series or (ii) in the case of a Paired Series having a variable principal amount, an interest in such variable Paired Series in an equal or lesser amount may be sold by the Trust and the proceeds thereof will be distributed pursuant to the terms of such Paired Series, and, in either case, the Investor Interest of such Paired Series will increase by up to a corresponding amount. Upon payment in full of the Series Investor Interest, assuming that there have been no unreimbursed Loss Amounts with respect to any related Paired Series, the aggregate amount of such Paired Series shall have been increased by an amount up to an aggregate amount equal to the Series Investor Interest paid to the Series 2007-1 Certificateholders (or such other amount as the holders of such Paired Series shall agree).

The Seller does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Certificateholders, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest (if any) in, to and under the Pre-Funding Account, any cash and/or investments on deposit therein and any proceeds of the foregoing, including the investment earnings. The Pre-Funding Account shall be owned by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Certificateholders. If, at any time, the institution holding the Pre-Funding Account ceases to be a Qualified Depository Institution, the Seller shall direct the Servicer to establish within 10 Business Days a new Pre-Funding Account meeting the conditions specified above with a Qualified Depository Institution, transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Pre-Funding Account and from the date such new Pre-Funding Account is established, it shall be the “Pre-Funding Account.” In addition, after five days notice to the Trustee, the Seller may direct the Servicer to establish a new Pre-Funding Account meeting the conditions specified above with a different Qualified Depository Institution, transfer any cash and/or investments to such new Pre-Funding Account and from the date such new Pre-Funding Account is established, it shall be, for the Series 2007-1 Certificates, the “Pre-Funding Account.” The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall make withdrawals and payments from the Pre-Funding Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or Trustee’s duties hereunder.

(b) A portion of the cash proceeds of the sale of the Series 2007-1 Certificates in an amount equal to $285,000,000 shall be deposited into the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date. This amount shall be the Initial Total Pre-Funded Amount. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account and deposit in the Collection Account all interest and other investment income on the Cash Pre-Funded Amount. Interest (including reinvested interest) and other investment income on funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall not be considered part of the Cash Pre-Funded Amount for purposes of this Supplement. Funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall be withdrawn by the Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, and paid to the Seller to the extent of any increases in the Series Investor Interest pursuant to Section 4.21. If (x) the Lane Bryant Portfolio shall not have been acquired by the Originator on or before January 31, 2008, or the Servicer shall have notified the Trustee in writing on or prior to January 31, 2008 that the Originator will not acquire the Lane Bryant Portfolio prior to January 31, 2008, and (y) any Cash Pre-Funded Amount remains on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account, on the Lane Bryant Portfolio Distribution Date the lesser of (i) such remaining Cash Pre-Funded Amount net of interest and earnings on investments of funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account on such date) and (ii) $220,000,000 will be deposited into the Collection Account and applied by the Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, in accordance with subsection 4.9(h) to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Class D Certificates as specified in subsection 4.9(h).

All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall be deposited by the Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, in the Collection Account on each Distribution Date and treated as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocated to the Series 2007-1 Certificates for the prior Due Period.

(d) The parties hereto intend that the Pre-Funding Account shall be an account of the Trustee, and not an account of the Seller. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, it shall be determined that the Seller has any rights in the Pre-Funding Account, the Seller hereby grants to the Trustee, to secure all of its obligations hereunder, a security interest in all of its right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under the Pre-Funding Account, all money, instruments, investment property, and other property credited to or on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account, and all proceeds thereof.

(b) The Seller may on any Business Day during the Funding Period determine to increase the Series Investor Interest amount up to the Initial Investor Interest by transferring new Receivables to the Trust so long as such increase to the Series Investor Interest would not cause the Seller Interest to be reduced below zero or cause an Early Amortization Event to occur with respect to any outstanding Series. Upon determining to increase the Series Investor Interest pursuant to this Section 4.21(b), the Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the increase in the Series Investor Interest the Seller has determined to make and certifying that such increase to the Series Investor Interest will not cause the Seller Interest to be reduced below zero or cause an Early Amortization Event to occur with respect to any outstanding Series.

Upon any such exchange, the portion of the Class D Investor Interest attributable to one subclass shall be proportionately reduced based on the proportion that the outstanding principal amount of the Class D Certificates so exchanged bears to the outstanding principal amount of the Class D Certificates of such subclass before giving effect to the exchange, and the portion of the Class D Investor Interest attributable to the other subclass shall be increased by a corresponding amount.

The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to each Person requesting such an exchange such new Class D-1 Certificates and Class D-2 Certificates as such Person shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 16(e).

(h) If the Trustee determines or is notified by the Trust, the Seller or the Servicer that (i) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any interest in any Series 2007-1 Certificate was not consummated in compliance with the provisions of Section 16 of this Supplement on the basis of an incorrect form or certification from the transferee or purported transferee, (ii) a transferee failed to deliver to the Trustee any form or certificate required to be delivered hereunder, (iii) the holder of any interest in a Series 2007-1 Certificate is in breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certificate or any deemed representation or agreement of such holder or (iv) such transfer would have the effect of causing the assets of the Trust to be deemed to be “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, the Trustee will not register such attempted or purported transfer and if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding holder of such interest in such Series 2007-1 Certificate that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer of such Series 2007-1 Certificate by such holder. The purported transferor of such Series 2007-1 Certificates or beneficial interest therein shall be required to cause the purported transferee to surrender the Series 2007-1 Certificates or any beneficial interest therein in return for a refund of the consideration paid therefor by such transferee (together with interest thereon) or to cause the purported transferee to dispose of such Series 2007-1 Certificates or beneficial interest promptly in one or more open market sales to one or more Persons each of whom satisfies the requirements of the Agreement and this Supplement and the legends on the Series 2007-1 Certificates, and such purported transferor shall take, and shall cause such transferee to take, all further action necessary or desirable, in the judgment of the Trustee, to ensure that such Series 2007-1 Certificates or any beneficial interest therein are held by Persons in compliance therewith.

In addition, the Trust may require that the interest in the Series 2007-1 Certificate referred to in (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding paragraph be transferred to any Person designated by the Trust at a price determined by the Trust, based upon its estimation of the prevailing price of such interest and each Holder, by acceptance of an interest in a Series 2007-1 Certificate, authorizes the Trust to take such action. In any case, neither the Trust nor the Trustee will be held responsible, other than the Trustee, to the extent of its obligations under Section 16(g) (but subject to Article XI), for any losses that may be incurred as a result of any required transfer under this Section 16(h).

(i) To the extent applicable to the Trust, the Trust shall comply with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Pub. L. No. 107-56 (2001) (the “Patriot Act”). To the extent applicable to the Trust, the Trust shall impose additional transfer restrictions to comply with the Patriot Act and each Holder agrees to comply with such transfer restrictions. The Trust shall notify the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar of the imposition of any such transfer restrictions, and the Trustee shall give notice to all Holders of such transfer restrictions. In order to comply with U.S. laws and regulations, including the Patriot Act, the Trust may request from an owner or a prospective owner such information as it reasonably believes is necessary to verify the identity of such owner or prospective owner, and to determine whether such owner or

 

75


prospective owner is permitted to be an owner of the Series 2007-1 Certificates pursuant to such laws and regulations. In the event of the delay or failure by any owner or prospective owner of the Series 2007-1 Certificates to deliver to the Trust any such requested information, the Trust (or the Initial Purchaser, the Servicer or the Trustee on its behalf) may (i) require such owner to immediately transfer any Series 2007-1 Certificate, or beneficial interest therein, held by such owner to an owner meeting the requirements of this Supplement and the Agreement, (ii) refuse to accept the subscription of a prospective owner, or (iii) take any other action required to comply with such laws and regulations. In addition, following the delivery of any such information, the Trust (or the Initial Purchaser, the Servicer or the Trustee on its behalf) may take any of the actions identified in clauses (i)-(iii) above. In certain circumstances, the Trust, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Initial Purchaser may be required to provide information about owners to regulatory authorities and to take any further action as may be required by law. None of the Trust, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Initial Purchaser will be liable for any loss or injury to an owner or prospective owner that may occur as a result of disclosing such information, refusing to accept the subscription of any potential owner, redeeming any investment in a certificate or taking any other action required by law.

SECTION 17. Certain Amendments. In addition to any other provisions relating to amendments in either the Agreement or this Supplement:

(i) This Supplement may be amended by written agreement of the Seller, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition but without the consent of the Servicer, Trustee or any Series 2007-1 Certificateholder, if such amendment is to the Series 2007-1 Supplement and is made to conform the terms of this Supplement to the terms described in any offering memorandum relating to the initial offer and sale of the Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be deemed effective without the Trustee’s consent, if the Trustee’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder are thereby modified; and

(ii) None of Sections 4.9(a), 4.9(b), 4.9(c) and 4.11(t) of this Supplement may be amended in a manner that adversely affects the payment priority of the Hedge Counterparty, relative to the payment priority of the Certificateholders described in such Section, without the prior written consent of the Hedge Counterparty.
