(vi) all of the representations and warranties made by each of ABRCF, the Lessees, the Lessors and the Administrator in the Base Indenture, this Supplement and the Related Documents to which each is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Series 2010-6 Closing Date or such Increase Date, as the case may be, as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are expressly made as of another date); and
38
(vii) all conditions precedent to the making of any Loan under the applicable Loan Agreements would be satisfied.
ABRCF’s acceptance of funds in connection with (x) the initial purchase of Series 2010-6 Notes on the Series 2010-6 Closing Date and (y) each Increase occurring on any Increase Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by ABRCF to the Purchaser Groups as of the Series 2010-6 Closing Date or such Increase Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are expressly made as of another date), as the case may be, that all of the conditions contained in this Section 2.3(c) have been satisfied.
(d) Upon receipt of any notice required by Section 2.3(a) from ABRCF, the Administrative Agent shall forward (by telecopy or electronic messaging system) a copy of such notice to each Non-Conduit Purchaser and the Funding Agent with respect to each CP Conduit Purchaser Group, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day received. After receipt by any Funding Agent with respect to a CP Conduit Purchaser Group of such notice from the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent shall, so long as the conditions set forth in Sections 2.3(a) and (c) are satisfied, promptly provide telephonic notice to the related CP Conduit Purchaser and the related APA Banks, of the Increase Date and of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group’s Commitment Percentage of the Series 2010-6 Initial Invested Amount or the Increase Amount. If such CP Conduit Purchaser elects to fund all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage of the Series 2010-6 Initial Invested Amount or the Increase Amount, such CP Conduit Purchaser shall pay in immediately available funds its Commitment Percentage (or any portion thereof) of the Series 2010-6 Initial Invested Amount on the Series 2010-6 Closing Date or the amount of such Increase on the related Increase Date, as the case may be, to the Funding Agent with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser Group for remittance to the Trustee for deposit into the Series 2010-6 Collection Account.

Each Funding Agent shall remit the amounts received by it from its CP Conduit Purchaser or the related APA Banks pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) to the Trustee for deposit into the Series 2010-6 Collection Account. So long as the conditions set forth in Sections 2.3(a) and (c) are satisfied, each Non-Conduit Purchaser shall pay in immediately available funds the Commitment Percentage of such Non-Conduit Purchaser of the Series 2010-6 Initial Invested Amount on the Series 2010-6 Closing Date or the amount of such Increase on the related Increase Date to the Trustee for deposit into the Series 2010-6 Collection Account.

Section 2.5. Procedure for Decreasing the Series 2010-6 Invested Amount; Optional Termination.
(a) On any Business Day prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, upon the written request of ABRCF or the Administrator on behalf of ABRCF, the Series 2010-6 Invested Amount may be reduced (a “Decrease”) by the Trustee’s withdrawing (as set forth in such request) (x) funds on deposit in the Series 2010-6 Excess Collection Account on such Business Day in an amount not to exceed the amount of such funds on deposit therein on such Business Day (after giving effect to any application pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 3.2(f)) and/or (y) if such Business Day is during the Series 2010-6 Controlled Amortization Period, funds on deposit in the Series 2010-6 Collection Account on such Business Day in an amount not to exceed the amount of such funds on deposit therein on such Business Day that were allocated to the Series 2010-6 Notes pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(ii) on or prior to such Business Day which have not previously been withdrawn therefrom pursuant to either this clause (y) to make a Decrease or pursuant to Section 3.5(a) to be paid to the holders of the Series 2010-6 Notes, and, in each case, depositing such funds into the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account and distributing such funds to the Administrative Agent on such Business Day in accordance with Section 3.5(b); provided that ABRCF shall have given the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) irrevocable written notice (effective upon receipt) of the amount of such Decrease prior to 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to such Decrease; provided, further, that any such Decrease shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (or if such Decrease will be used to reduce one or more Non-Extending Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Invested Amounts, such Decrease may be in such amount as is necessary to reduce the Purchaser Group Invested Amounts of all such Non-Extending Purchaser Groups to zero). Upon each Decrease, the Administrative Agent shall indicate in its records such Decrease and the Purchaser Group Invested Amount outstanding with respect to each Purchaser Group after giving effect to such Decrease. Upon receipt of any notice required by Section 2.5(a) from ABRCF, the Administrative Agent shall forward (by telecopy or electronic messaging system) a copy of such notice to each Non-Conduit Purchaser and the Funding Agent with respect to each CP Conduit Purchaser Group, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day received.
(b) On any Business Day, ABRCF shall have the right to deliver an irrevocable written notice (an “Optional Termination Notice”) to the Administrative Agent, the Trustee, the Administrator, Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and the Rating Agencies in which ABRCF declares that the Commitments shall terminate on the date (the “Optional Termination Date”) set forth in such notice (which date, in any event, shall be a Distribution Date not less than twenty Business Days from the date on which such notice is delivered). Upon receipt of any Optional Termination Notice from ABRCF, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Non-Conduit Purchaser and the Funding Agent with respect to each CP Conduit Purchaser Group thereof.
(c) From and after the Optional Termination Date, the Series 2010-6 Rapid Amortization Period shall commence for all purposes under this Supplement, the Base Indenture and the Related Documents.
40
(d) If there are Principal Collections on deposit in the Series 2010-6 Excess Collection Account on any Business Day on which the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to any Non-Extending Purchaser Group shall not have been reduced to zero and ABRCF would be permitted under the terms of Section 2.5(a) to effect a Decrease with such funds, ABRCF shall request such a Decrease in accordance with Section 2.5(a) on the earliest possible date.
Section 2.6. Increases and Reductions of the Commitments; Extensions of the Commitments; Replacement of Purchaser Groups.
(a) ABRCF may from time to time request that any Purchaser Group agree to increase its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount. An increase in such amount shall be effective hereunder if such Purchaser Group shall have agreed in its sole discretion to such increase.
(b) If ABRCF desires to extend the Scheduled Expiry Date with respect to the Purchaser Groups, ABRCF shall notify the Administrative Agent at least 60 days prior to such Scheduled Expiry Date of its desire to extend the Scheduled Expiry Date with respect to the Purchaser Groups, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify each Non-Conduit Purchaser and the Funding Agent with respect to each CP Conduit Purchaser Group of ABRCF’s desire to so extend the Scheduled Expiry Date. Each Non-Conduit Purchaser and each Funding Agent, on behalf of its CP Conduit Purchaser Group, shall notify the Administrative Agent and ABRCF in writing of whether its Related Purchaser Group agrees to an extension of the Scheduled Expiry Date with respect to such Purchaser Group; provided that failure by a Non-Conduit Purchaser or a Funding Agent to respond to such request shall not be construed as a consent by such Purchaser Group to such extension. The decision to extend or not extend shall be made by each Purchaser Group in its sole discretion. In the event that any Purchaser Group desires to extend its Scheduled Expiry Date for an amount that is less than its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount prior to ABRCF’s request for an extension, ABRCF, in its sole discretion, may accept such extension; provided, however, that such Purchaser Group (x) shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Purchaser Group for purposes of Section 3.5 having a Purchaser Group Invested Amount equal to the excess of its Purchaser Group Invested Amount over a percentage of its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount that will be available after the extension of its Scheduled Expiry Date equal to the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Purchaser Group Invested Amounts with respect to all Extending Purchaser Groups, other than such Purchaser Group and any other Purchaser Group reducing its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount, and the denominator of which is the sum of the Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amounts of all Extending Purchaser Groups, other than such Purchaser Group and any other Purchaser Group reducing its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount and (y) shall be deemed to be an Extending Purchaser Group with a Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount equal to the portion of its Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount that will be available after the extension of its Scheduled Expiry Date. In connection with any request by ABRCF to extend the Scheduled Expiry Date pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), ABRCF shall provide (i) to the Administrative Agent, who shall provide to each Purchaser
41
(c) On any Business Day during the Series 2010-6 Revolving Period, ABRCF may, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (effective upon receipt) (with copies to the Administrator and the Trustee) reduce the Series 2010-6 Maximum Invested Amount in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any reduction in the Series 2010-6 Invested Amount on such date, the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to any Purchaser Group would exceed the Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group then in effect. Any reduction in the Series 2010-6 Maximum Invested Amount shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amounts with respect to the Purchaser Groups, based on the Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to each Purchaser Group. Once reduced, the Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amounts may not be subsequently reinstated without each such Purchaser Group’s prior written consent, which consent shall be granted or not in the sole discretion of such Purchaser Group.
(d) If, (x) after receiving a request for extension of its Scheduled Expiry Date from ABRCF pursuant to Section 2.6(b), a Non-Conduit Purchaser Group or the Funding Agent with respect to a CP Conduit Purchaser Group notifies ABRCF in writing of its decision not to extend its Scheduled Expiry Date as requested or fails to respond to ABRCF’s request within 30 days of its receipt of such request, or (y) any Non-Conduit Purchaser Group or any CP Conduit Purchaser Group (or the Funding Agent with respect thereto, on behalf of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group) (a “Non-Consenting Purchaser Group”) fails to give its consent for any amendment or waiver requiring the consent of 100% of the Series 2010-6 Noteholders (or Purchaser Groups having Commitment Percentages aggregating 100%) or the consent of all affected Series 2010-6 Noteholders or Purchaser Groups (and such Purchaser Group is affected) and for which Holders of Series 2010-6 Notes representing at least a majority of the required voting percentage have consented, at the request of ABRCF, such Non-Conduit Purchaser Group or such CP Conduit Purchaser Group shall on a Distribution Date thereafter selected by ABRCF (or such other date as may be agreed by ABRCF, the Administrative Agent and such Non-Conduit Purchaser or the Funding Agent with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser Group) assign all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations under this Supplement and the Series 2010-6 Notes pursuant to Section 11.1 to a replacement Purchaser Group selected by ABRCF upon payment by the replacement Purchaser Group (or upon payment by ABRCF as agreed to by ABRCF, the assignor and the assignee) of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Non-Extending Purchaser Group, and (ii) (A) if such Purchaser Group includes a Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, the sum of (x) all accrued and unpaid Discount on all outstanding Commercial Paper issued by, or for the benefit of, such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser to fund the CP Funded Amount with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser from the issuance date(s) thereof to but excluding the date (the “Purchase Effective Date”) of the assignment to the replacement Purchaser Group and (y) the aggregate Discount to accrue on all outstanding Commercial Paper issued by, or for the benefit of, such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser to fund the CP Funded Amount with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser from and including the Purchase Effective Date to and excluding the maturity date of each CP Tranche with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser or (B) if such Non-Extending Purchaser Group includes a Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Discount on or in respect of the Commercial Paper issued by, or for the benefit of, such Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser allocated, in whole or in part, by the Funding Agent with respect to such Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, to fund the purchase or maintenance of the CP Funded Amount with respect to such Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser as of the Purchase Effective Date and (y) the aggregate amount of Discount to accrue on or in respect of the Commercial Paper issued by, or for the benefit of, such Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser allocated, in whole or in part, by the Funding Agent with respect to such Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, to fund the purchase or maintenance of the CP Funded Amount with respect to such Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser from and including the Purchase Effective Date to and excluding the maturity dates of such Commercial Paper, and (iii) (A) if such Non-Extending Purchaser Group or Non-Consenting Purchaser Group, as applicable, is a Non-Conduit Purchaser Group, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Purchaser Group Invested Amount for such Non-Conduit Purchaser Group, calculated as the sum for each day from but excluding the last day of
42
(e) ABRCF may at any time add (A) a multi-seller commercial paper conduit as an additional CP Conduit Purchaser (an “Additional CP Conduit Purchaser”) and one or more banks providing support to the Additional CP Conduit Purchaser as APA Banks with respect to the Additional CP Conduit Purchaser (the “Related Additional APA Banks”) or (B) a financial institution or other entity (other than a commercial paper conduit) as an additional Non-Conduit Purchaser (an “Additional Non-Conduit Purchaser”), in each case with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), by providing at least ten Business Days written notice of (i) (A) the names of the Additional CP Conduit Purchaser, the Related Additional APA Banks and the funding agent with respect to the Additional CP Conduit Purchaser and the Related Additional APA Banks (the
43
“Additional Funding Agent”) or (B) the name of the Additional Non-Conduit Purchaser, as applicable, (ii) the date on which ABRCF desires to effect such addition (the “Purchaser Group Addition Date”), (iii) the proposed Maximum Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to the Additional CP Conduit Purchaser and the Related Additional APA Banks or the Additional Non-Conduit Purchaser, as applicable, and (iv) the Commitment Percentage of each Purchaser Group on the Purchaser Group Addition Date, after giving effect to the addition of the Additional CP Conduit Purchaser and the Related Additional APA Banks or the Additional Non-Conduit Purchaser, as applicable. On the Purchaser Group Addition Date, each Purchaser Group shall make an assignment and assumption to the Additional CP Conduit Purchaser, the Related Additional APA Banks and the Additional Funding Agent or the Additional Non-Conduit Purchaser, as applicable, pursuant to Section 11.1, as directed by the Administrative Agent, with the result that after giving effect thereto, the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to each such Purchaser Group shall equal the product of (x) the Series 2010-6 Invested Amount on the Purchaser Group Addition Date and (y) the Commitment Percentage of such Purchaser Group on the Purchaser Group Addition Date, after giving effect to the addition of the Additional CP Conduit Purchaser and the Related Additional APA Banks or the Additional Non-Conduit Purchaser, as applicable. No Purchaser Group shall be required to make any assignment unless such assigning Purchaser Group shall receive in cash an amount equal to the reduction in its Series 2010-6 Invested Amount.
Section 2.7. Interest; Fees.
(a) Interest shall be payable on the Series 2010-6 Notes on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.3.
(b) On any Business Day, ABRCF may, subject to Section 2.7(c), elect to allocate all or any portion of the Available CP Funding Amount with respect to any Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, to one or more CP Tranches with CP Rate Periods commencing on such Business Day by giving the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser irrevocable written or telephonic (confirmed in writing) notice thereof, which notice must be received by such Funding Agent prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to such Business Day. Such notice shall specify (i) the applicable Business Day, (ii) the CP Rate Period for each CP Tranche to which a portion of the Available CP Funding Amount with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser Group is to be allocated and (iii) the portion of such Available CP Funding Amount being allocated to each such CP Tranche. On any Business Day, ABRCF may, subject to Sections 2.7(c) and 7.4, elect to allocate all or any portion of the Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to any CP Conduit Purchaser Group to one or more Eurodollar Tranches with Eurodollar Periods commencing on such Business Day by giving the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser Group irrevocable written or telephonic (confirmed in writing) notice thereof, which notice must be received by such Funding Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) three Business Days prior to such Business Day. Such notice shall
44
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.7, (i) (A) each Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser shall approve the length of each CP Rate Period and the portion of the Available CP Funding Amount with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser allocated to such CP Rate Period, (B) such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser may select, in its sole discretion, any new CP Rate Period if (x) ABRCF does not provide notice of a new CP Rate Period on a timely basis or (y) the Funding Agent with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, on behalf of such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, determines, in its sole discretion, that the CP Rate Period requested by ABRCF is unavailable or for any reason commercially undesirable and (C) the portion of the Available CP Funding Amount with respect to such Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser allocable to each CP Tranche must be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) (A) the portion of the Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to any CP Conduit Purchaser Group allocable to each Eurodollar Tranche must be in an amount equal to $100,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, (B) no more than 7 Eurodollar Tranches with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser Group shall be outstanding at any one time, (C) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, ABRCF may not elect to allocate any portion of the Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to any CP Conduit Purchaser Group to a Eurodollar Tranche and (D) during the Series 2010-6 Controlled Amortization Period or the Series 2010-6 Rapid Amortization Period, ABRCF may not select any Eurodollar Period that does not end on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date.
(d) On any Business Day, a Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser may elect that ABRCF no longer be permitted to select CP Tranches in accordance with Sections 2.7(b) and (c) in respect of the CP Conduit Funded Amount with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser by giving ABRCF and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice thereof, which notice must be received by ABRCF and the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to such Business Day. On any Business Day, a Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser may with the prior written consent of the Administrator (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) elect thereafter to allow ABRCF to select CP Tranches in accordance with Sections 2.7(b) and (c) in respect of the CP Conduit Funded Amount with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser by giving ABRCF and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice thereof, which notice and consent must be received by ABRCF and the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to such election. Any CP Conduit Purchaser making an election to change the manner in which its funding costs in respect of its Series 2010-6 Note are allocated in accordance with this Section 2.7(d) will be both a Match Funding CP Conduit Purchaser and a Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser during the period that its Series 2010-6 Note is funded on both a “pooled” and “match funded” basis and its Monthly Funding Costs during that period will be calculated accordingly.
(e) ABRCF shall pay with funds available pursuant to Section 3.3(a) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser Group, on each Distribution Date, a commitment fee with respect to the Series 2010-6 Interest Period ending on the day preceding such Distribution Date (the “Commitment Fee”) during the period from the Series 2010-6 Closing Date to and including the Expiry Date with respect to such Purchaser Group at the
45
(f) ABRCF shall pay with funds available pursuant to Section 3.3(g) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser Group, on each Distribution Date, the Contingent Monthly Funding Costs with respect to each Purchaser Group for the related Series 2010-6 Interest Period. The Contingent Monthly Funding Costs shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Distribution Date.
(g) Calculations of per annum rates under this Supplement shall be made on the basis of a 360- (or 365-/366- in the case of interest on the Floating Tranche based on the Prime Rate) day year. Calculations of Commitment Fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year. Each determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate by the Administrative Agent or by any Non-Conduit Purchaser shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error.
(h) On any date prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event on which more than 50% of the Series 2010-6 Invested Amount as of such date is funded by one or more APA Banks, each Non-Conduit Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, by delivering written notice to ABRCF, the Administrator and the Administrative Agent (a “Pricing Increase Notice”), to have the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such Non-Conduit Purchaser calculated for each day of a Series 2010-6 Interest Period that more than 50% of the Series 2010-6 Invested Amount is funded by one or more APA Banks at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the LIBO Rate with respect to such day and (B) the Applicable Margin with respect to any Eurodollar Tranche on such day (rather than the LIBO Rate with respect to such day and the Program Fee Rate on such day). At any time following delivery of a Pricing Increase Notice by a Non-Conduit Purchaser, such Non-Conduit Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, rescind such election by delivering written notice thereof to ABRCF and the Administrative Agent (a “Pricing Increase Rescission”).
Section 2.8. Indemnification by ABRCF. ABRCF agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each CP Conduit Purchaser, each APA Bank, each Non-Conduit Purchaser and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Company indemnified person”) from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by (a “Claim”) such Company indemnified person by reason of (i) any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of, or relating to, activities of ABRCF pursuant to the Indenture or the other Related Documents to which it is a party, (ii) a breach of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by ABRCF (or any of its officers) in the Indenture or other Related Document or (iii) a failure by ABRCF to comply with any applicable law or regulation or to perform its covenants, agreements, duties or obligations required to be performed or observed by it in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture or the other Related Documents, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award,
46
Section 2.9. Funding Agents.
(a) The Funding Agent with respect to each CP Conduit Purchaser Group is hereby authorized to record on each Business Day the CP Funded Amount with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser Group and the aggregate amount of Discount accruing with respect thereto on such Business Day and the APA Bank Funded Amount with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser Group and the amount of interest accruing with respect thereto on such Business Day and, based on such recordations, to determine the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to each Series 2010-6 Interest Period and such CP Conduit Purchaser Group. Any such recordation by a Funding Agent, absent manifest error, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. Furthermore, the Funding Agent with respect to each CP Conduit Purchaser Group will maintain records sufficient to identify the percentage interest of the related CP Conduit Purchaser and each APA Bank with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser Group holding an interest in the Series 2010-6 Note registered in the name of such Funding Agent and any amounts owing thereunder.
(b) Upon receipt of funds from the Administrative Agent on each Distribution Date and the date of any Decrease, each Funding Agent shall pay such funds to the related CP Conduit Purchaser and/or the related APA Bank owed such funds in accordance with the recordations maintained by it in accordance with Section 2.9(a) and the Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser. If a Funding Agent shall have paid to any CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank any funds that (i) must be returned for any reason (including bankruptcy) or (ii) exceeds that which such CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank was entitled to receive, such amount shall be promptly repaid to such Funding Agent by such CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank.

52
Business Day and a reasonable estimation of the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such Purchaser Group for the remainder of such Series 2010-6 Interest Period and (y) within three Business Days after the end of each calendar month, setting forth the Monthly Funding Costs (calculated as if such calendar month was a Series 2010-6 Interest Period) with respect to such Purchaser Group for such calendar month. The Administrative Agent shall, within two Business Days following its receipt of such information from each Funding Agent and each Non-Conduit Purchaser, compile the information provided in such written notice pursuant to (x) or (y) above, as applicable, into one written notice for all Purchaser Groups and forward such notice to the Administrator. The Administrator shall determine the Senior Monthly Funding Costs, the Contingent Monthly Funding Costs and the Series 2010-6 Senior Note Rate based on the information provided by the Funding Agents and the Non-Conduit Purchasers. If the actual amount of the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to any Purchaser Group for a Series 2010-6 Interest Period is less than or greater than the amount thereof estimated by the Funding Agent or the Non-Conduit Purchaser with respect to its Related Purchaser Group on a Determination Date, such Funding Agent or Non-Conduit Purchaser shall notify the Administrator and the Administrative Agent thereof on the next succeeding Determination Date and the Administrator will reduce or increase the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such Purchaser Group for the next succeeding Series 2010-6 Interest Period accordingly. The Administrator shall determine the Senior Monthly Funding Costs, the Contingent Monthly Funding Costs and the Series 2010-6 Senior Note Rate for the last Series 2010-6 Interest Period on the Determination Date immediately preceding the final Distribution Date based on the information provided by the Funding Agents and the Non-Conduit Purchasers.

If the Administrator determines on any Distribution Date that the amounts available from the Series 2010-6 Accrued Interest Account are insufficient to pay the sum of the amounts described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) of Section 3.3(a) above on such Distribution Date, the Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw from the Series 2010-6 Reserve Account and deposit in the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account on such Distribution Date an amount equal to the lesser of the Series 2010-6 Available Reserve Account Amount and such insufficiency.

(e) Establishment of Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account. On or prior to the date of any drawing under a Series 2010-6 Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.8(b) or (c) above, ABRCF shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2010-6 Noteholders, or cause to be established and maintained, an account (the “Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2010-6 Noteholders. The Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account; provided that, if at any time such Qualified Institution is no longer a Qualified Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such depository institution or trust company shall be reduced to below “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s or “Baa3” by Moody’s, then ABRCF shall, within 30 days of such reduction, establish a new Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account with a new Qualified Institution or a new segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company
67
having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account. If a new Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account is established, ABRCF shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account into the new Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account.
(f) Administration of the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account. ABRCF may instruct (by standing instructions or otherwise) the institution maintaining the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account is held with the Paying Agent, in which case such investment may mature on such Distribution Date so long as such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical property (and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security entitlement) shall be physically delivered to the Trustee; (ii) United States security entitlements or security entitlements shall be controlled (as defined in Section 8-106 of the New York UCC) by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition, and (iii) uncertificated securities (and not United States security entitlements) shall be delivered to the Trustee by causing the Trustee to become the registered holder of such securities. The Trustee shall, at the expense of ABRCF, take such action as is required to maintain the Trustee’s security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account. ABRCF shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the purchase price of such Permitted Investment. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account shall remain uninvested.
(g) Earnings from Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account shall be deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution.
(h) Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account Surplus. In the event that the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account Surplus on any Distribution Date (or, after the Series 2010-6 Letter of Credit Termination Date, on any date) is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator, shall withdraw from the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account Surplus and shall pay such amount: first, to the Series 2010-6 Letter of Credit Providers to the extent of any unreimbursed drawings under the related Series 2010-6 Reimbursement Agreement, for application in accordance with the provisions of the related Series 2010-6 Reimbursement Agreement, second, to the Series 2010-6 Reserve Account to the extent necessary to pay any Contingent Monthly Funding Costs Shortfall (together with accrued interest thereon) and, third, to ABRCF any remaining amount.
(i) Termination of Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account. Upon the termination of this Supplement in accordance with its terms, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 2010-6 Noteholders and payable from the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account all amounts
68
on deposit therein (to the extent not withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.8(h) above) and shall pay such amounts: first, to the Series 2010-6 Letter of Credit Providers to the extent of any unreimbursed drawings under the related Series 2010-6 Reimbursement Agreement, for application in accordance with the provisions of the related Series 2010-6 Reimbursement Agreement, and, second, to ABRCF any remaining amount.
(j) Termination Date Demands on the Series 2010-6 Letters of Credit.

If the Series 2010-6 Demand Note Payment Amount is greater than zero, then the Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in writing to draw on the Series 2010-6 Letters of Credit. Upon receipt of any such notice by the Trustee on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Trustee shall, by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Business Day draw an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the Series 2010-6 Demand Note Payment Amount over the Reserve Account Transfer Amount and (ii) the Series 2010-6 Letter of
Credit Liquidity Amount on the Series 2010-6 Letters of Credit by presenting to each Series 2010-6 Letter of Credit Provider a Certificate of Termination Date Demand; provided, however, that if the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account has been established and funded, the Trustee shall draw an amount equal to the product of (a) 100% minus the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Percentage and (b) the lesser of the amounts referred to in clause (i) or (ii) on such Business Day on the Series 2010-6 Letters of Credit as calculated by the Administrator and provided in writing to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cause the Termination Date Disbursement to be deposited in the Series 2010-6 Cash Collateral Account.

If the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, ABRCF shall establish a new Series 2010-6 Distribution Account, within ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such fact, which complies with such sentence, and shall instruct the Series 2010-6 Agent in writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2010-6 Distribution Account into the new Series 2010-6 Distribution Account. Initially, the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account will be established with The Bank of New York Mellon.
69
(b) Administration of the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account. The Administrator may instruct the institution maintaining the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account is held with the Paying Agent, then such investment may mature on such Distribution Date and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical property (and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security entitlement) shall be physically delivered to the Trustee; (ii) United States security entitlements or security entitlements shall be controlled (as defined in Section 8-106 of the New York UCC) by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition, and (iii) uncertificated securities (and not United States security entitlements) shall be delivered to the Trustee by causing the Trustee to become the registered holder of such securities. The Trustee shall, at the expense of ABRCF, take such action as is required to maintain the Trustee’s security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account. ABRCF shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of purchase price of such Permitted Investments. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.

On the Series 2010-6 Closing Date, the aggregate notional amount of all Series 2010-6 Interest Rate Caps shall equal the Series 2010-6 Maximum Invested Amount, and the aggregate notional amount of all Series 2010-6 Interest Rate Caps may be reduced pursuant to the related Series 2010-6 Interest Rate Cap to the extent that the Series 2010-6 Maximum Invested Amount is reduced after the Series 2010-6 Closing Date.

RIGHT TO WAIVE PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture or the Related Documents, upon the Trustee’s receipt of notice from any Lessee, any Borrower or ABRCF that the Lessees, the Borrowers and ABRCF have determined to increase any Series 2010-6 Maximum Amount or the percentage set forth in clause (y) of any of paragraphs (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the definition of Series 2010-6 Incremental Enhancement Amount, (such notice, a “Waiver Request”), each Series 2010-6 Noteholder may, at its option, waive any Series 2010-6 Maximum Amount or any increase in the Series 2010-6 Required Enhancement Amount based upon clause (y) of any of paragraphs (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the definition of the Series 2010-6 Incremental Enhancement Amount (collectively, a “Waivable Amount”) if (i) no Amortization Event exists, (ii) the Requisite Noteholders consent to such waiver and (iii) 60 days’ prior written notice of such proposed waiver is provided to the Rating Agencies, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s by the Trustee.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request (a copy of which the Trustee shall promptly provide to the Rating Agencies), all amounts which would otherwise be allocated to the Series 2010-6 Excess Collection Account (collectively, the “Designated Amounts”) from the date the Trustee receives a Waiver Request through the Consent Period Expiration Date will be held by the Trustee in the Series 2010-6 Collection Account for ratable
74
distribution as described below.
Within ten (10) Business Days after the Trustee receives a Waiver Request, the Trustee shall furnish notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be accompanied by a form of consent (each a “Consent”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto by which the Series 2010-6 Noteholders may, on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date, consent to waiver of the applicable Waivable Amount. Upon receipt of notice of a Waiver Request, the Administrative Agent shall forward a copy of such request together with the Consent to each Non-Conduit Purchaser and Funding Agent with respect to its Related Purchaser Group. If the Trustee receives the Consents from the Requisite Noteholders agreeing to waiver of the applicable Waivable Amount within forty-five (45) days after the Trustee notifies the Administrative Agent of a Waiver Request (the day on which such forty-five (45) day period expires, the “Consent Period Expiration Date”), (i) the applicable Waivable Amount shall be deemed waived by the consenting Series 2010-6 Noteholders, (ii) the Trustee will distribute the Designated Amounts as set forth below and (iii) the Trustee shall promptly (but in any event within two days) provide the Rating Agencies, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s with notice of such waiver. Any Purchaser Group from whom the Trustee has not received a Consent on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date will be deemed not to have consented to such waiver.
If the Trustee receives Consents from the Requisite Noteholders on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date, then on the immediately following Distribution Date, upon receipt of written direction from the Administrator the Trustee will pay the Designated Amounts to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the non-consenting Purchaser Groups. Upon the receipt of funds from the Trustee pursuant to this Article V, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Designated Amounts as follows:
(i) to each Non-Conduit Purchaser or Funding Agent with respect to a non-consenting Purchaser Group, such Purchaser Group’s pro rata share based on the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group relative to the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to all non-consenting Purchaser Groups of the Designated Amounts up to the amount required to reduce to zero the Purchaser Group Invested Amounts with respect to all non-consenting Purchaser Groups; and
(ii) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2010-6 Excess Collection Account.
If the amount distributed pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph is not sufficient to reduce the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to each non-consenting Purchaser Group to zero on the date specified therein, then on each day following such Distribution Date, the Administrator will allocate to the Series 2010-6 Collection Account on a daily basis all Designated Amounts collected on such day. On each following Distribution Date, the Trustee will withdraw such Designated Amounts from the Series 2010-6 Collection Account and deposit the same in the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account for distribution to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the non-consenting Purchaser Groups. Upon the receipt of funds from the Trustee pursuant to this Article V, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Designated Amounts as follows:
75
(a) to each Non-Conduit Purchaser or Funding Agent with respect to a non-consenting Purchaser Group, such Purchaser Group’s pro rata share based on the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group relative to the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to all non-consenting Purchaser Groups of the Designated Amounts in the Series 2010-6 Collection Account as of the applicable Determination Date up to the amount required to reduce to zero the Purchaser Group Invested Amounts with respect to all non-consenting Purchaser Groups; and
(b) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2010-6 Excess Collection Account.
If the Requisite Noteholders do not timely consent to such waiver, the Designated Amounts will be re-allocated to the Series 2010-6 Excess Collection Account for allocation and distribution in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Related Documents.
In the event that the Series 2010-6 Rapid Amortization Period shall commence after receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request, all such Designated Amounts will thereafter be considered Principal Collections allocated to the Series 2010-6 Noteholders.

ARTICLE VII
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
Section 7.1. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law (except with respect to Taxes which shall be governed by Section 7.2) shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or
(ii) impose on any Affected Party or the London interbank market any other condition affecting the Indenture or the Related Documents or the funding of Eurodollar Tranches by such Affected Party;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Party of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Tranches (or maintaining its obligation to do so) or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or in connection herewith (whether principal, interest or otherwise), then ABRCF will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Affected Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Affected Party or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Party’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, ABRCF shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of an Affected Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Party as specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 7.1 shall be delivered to ABRCF (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent, if any, with respect to such Affected Party) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any payments made by ABRCF pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be made solely
82
from funds available in the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VII Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against ABRCF to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in this Section 7.1 shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of an Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that ABRCF shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section 7.1 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies ABRCF of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation under this Section 7.1; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 7.2. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of ABRCF hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if ABRCF shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) subject to Section 7.2(c) below, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.2) the recipient receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) ABRCF shall make such deductions and (iii) ABRCF shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, ABRCF shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) ABRCF shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Non-Conduit Purchaser, each Funding Agent, each Program Support Provider and each member of each CP Conduit Purchaser Group within the later of 10 days after written demand therefor and the Distribution Date next following such demand for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Non-Conduit Purchaser, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of ABRCF hereunder or under the Indenture (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.2) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that no Person shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.2(c) or entitled to receive additional amounts under the proviso of Section 7.2(a) to the extent that the reason for such indemnification results from the failure by such Person to comply with the provisions of Section 7.2(e) or (g). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to ABRCF by the Administrative Agent, any Non-Conduit Purchaser, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any CP Conduit Purchaser Group shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any payments made by ABRCF pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VII Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with
83
respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against ABRCF to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by ABRCF to a Governmental Authority, ABRCF shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) The Administrative Agent, each Non-Conduit Purchaser, each Funding Agent, each member of each CP Conduit Purchaser Group and each Program Support Provider, if entitled to an exemption from or reduction of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax with respect to payments made hereunder or under the Indenture shall (to the extent legally able to do so) deliver to ABRCF (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by ABRCF on the later of (i) 30 Business Days after such request is made and the applicable forms are provided to the Administrative Agent, such Non-Conduit Purchaser, such Funding Agent, such member of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group or such Program Support Provider or (ii) thirty (30) Business Days before prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or with an exemption from or reduction of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.
(f) If the Administrative Agent, any Non-Conduit Purchaser, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any CP Conduit Purchaser Group receives a refund solely in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, it shall pay over such refund to ABRCF to the extent that it has already received indemnity payments or additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.2 with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that ABRCF shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Non-Conduit Purchaser, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group, repay such refund (plus interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Non-Conduit Purchaser, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group if the Administrative Agent, such Non-Conduit Purchaser, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained herein shall require the Administrative Agent, any Non-Conduit Purchaser, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any CP Conduit Purchaser Group to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) available to ABRCF or any other Person.
(g) The Administrative Agent, each Non-Conduit Purchaser, each Funding Agent, each Program Support Provider and each member of each CP Conduit Purchaser Group (other than any such entity which is a domestic corporation) shall:
(i) upon or prior to becoming a party hereto, deliver to ABRCF and the Administrative Agent two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or successor applicable forms, as the case
84
may be, establishing a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect to payments under the Series 2010-6 Notes and this Supplement;
(ii) deliver to ABRCF and the Administrative Agent two (2) further copies of any such form or certification establishing a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect to payments under the Series 2010-6 Notes and this Supplement on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to ABRCF; and
(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by ABRCF and the Administrative Agent;
unless, in any such case, any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the Series 2010-6 Closing Date (or, if later, the date the Administrative Agent, such Non-Conduit Purchaser, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group becomes an indemnified party hereunder) and prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders the relevant form inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent, such Non-Conduit Purchaser, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group from duly completing and delivering the relevant form with respect to it, and the Administrative Agent, such Non-Conduit Purchaser, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such CP Conduit Purchaser Group so advises ABRCF and the Administrative Agent.
(h) If a beneficial or equity owner of the Administrative Agent, a Non-Conduit Purchaser, a Funding Agent, a Program Support Provider or a member of a CP Conduit Purchaser Group (instead of the Administrative Agent, the Non-Conduit Purchaser, the Funding Agent, the Program Support Provider or the member of the CP Conduit Purchaser Group itself) is required under United States federal income tax law or the terms of a relevant treaty to provide IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or any successor applicable forms, as the case may be, in order to claim an exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes, then each such beneficial owner or equity owner shall be considered to be the Administrative Agent, a Non-Conduit Purchaser, a Funding Agent, a Program Support Provider or a member of a CP Conduit Purchaser Group for purposes of Section 7.2(g).
Section 7.3. Break Funding Payments. ABRCF agrees to indemnify each Purchaser Group and to hold each Purchaser Group harmless from any loss or expense which such Purchaser Group may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by ABRCF to accept any Increase after ABRCF has given irrevocable notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Supplement, (b) the conversion into or continuation of a CP Tranche or a Eurodollar Tranche that occurs other than on the last day of the applicable CP Rate Period or Eurodollar Period, (c) default by ABRCF in making any prepayment in connection with a Decrease after ABRCF has given irrevocable notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5 or (d) the making of a repayment of any portion of the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group (including, without limitation,
85
any Decrease) prior to the termination of a CP Rate Period for a CP Tranche or a Eurodollar Period for a Eurodollar Tranche or on a date other than a Distribution Date or the date contained in a notice of Decrease, or the making of a Decrease in a greater amount than contained in any notice of a Decrease. Such indemnification shall include an amount determined by the Non-Conduit Purchaser or the Funding Agent with respect to its Related Purchaser Group and shall equal (a) in the case of the losses or expenses associated with a CP Tranche or a Eurodollar Tranche, either (x) the excess, if any, of (i) such Related Purchaser Group’s cost of funding the amount so paid or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such payment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the CP Rate Period or the Eurodollar Period or applicable Series 2010-6 Interest Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the CP Rate Period or the Eurodollar Period that would have commenced on the date of such prepayment or of such failure), as the case may be, over (ii) the amount of interest earned by such Related Purchaser Group upon redeployment of an amount of funds equal to the amount prepaid or not borrowed, converted or continued for a comparable period or (y) if such Related Purchaser Group is able to terminate the funding source before its scheduled maturity, any costs associated with such termination and (b) in the case of the losses or expenses incurred by a Non-Conduit Purchaser or Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, the losses and expenses incurred by such Non-Conduit Purchaser or Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser in connection with the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Non-Conduit Purchaser or Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser as a result of the failure to accept an Increase, a default in the making of a Decrease or the making of a Decrease in an amount or on a date not contained in a notice of a Decrease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments made by ABRCF pursuant to this subsection shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2010-6 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VII Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against ABRCF to the extent that such funds are insufficient to make such payment. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any Non-Conduit Purchaser or Funding Agent on behalf of its Related Purchaser Group to ABRCF shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 7.4. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Eurodollar Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by any APA Bank that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such APA Bank of making or maintaining the Eurodollar Tranches during such Eurodollar Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to ABRCF and the Trustee, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies ABRCF and the Trustee that the circumstances giving rise to
86
such notice no longer exist, the Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to any CP Conduit Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (a) above) or with respect to the related CP Conduit Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (b) above) shall not be allocated to any Eurodollar Tranche.
Section 7.5. Mitigation Obligations. If an Affected Party requests compensation under Section 7.1, or if ABRCF is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser Group or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser Group pursuant to Section 7.2, then, upon written notice from ABRCF, such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its obligations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, which pays a price for such assignment which is acceptable to such Purchaser Group and its assignee, in the judgment of such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Party or Purchaser Group to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Party or Purchaser Group. ABRCF hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Party or Purchaser Group in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this
89
Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Non-Conduit Purchaser, any CP Conduit Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Supplement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
Section 9.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Supplement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 9.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Base Indenture, this Supplement or any other Related Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Non-Conduit Purchasers, the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks or the Funding Agents for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by ABRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary, the Administrator or any officer thereof contained in this Supplement or any other Related Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Supplement or any other Related Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Supplement, any other Related Document, or for any failure of any of ABRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary or the Administrator to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Non-Conduit Purchaser, any CP Conduit Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Supplement, any other Related Document or to inspect the properties, books or records of ABRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary or the Administrator.
Section 9.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to ABRCF or the Administrator), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the registered holder of any Series 2010-6 Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Supplement or any other Related Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Noteholders, as it deems appropriate
90
or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Non-Conduit Purchasers and the Funding Agents against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Supplement and the other Related Documents in accordance with a request of the Requisite Noteholders (unless, in the case of any action relating to the giving of consent hereunder, the giving of such consent requires the consent of all Series 2010-6 Noteholders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Non-Conduit Purchasers, the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents.
Section 9.5. Notice of Administrator Default or Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event or any Administrator Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Non-Conduit Purchaser, a CP Conduit Purchaser, an APA Bank, a Funding Agent, ABRCF or the Administrator referring to the Indenture or this Supplement, describing such Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, or Administrator Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of an Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event” or “notice of an Administrator Default,” as the case may be. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Non-Conduit Purchasers, the Funding Agents, the Trustee, ABRCF and the Administrator. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the Requisite Noteholders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchaser Groups.
Section 9.6. Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Purchaser Groups. Each of the Non-Conduit Purchasers, the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of ABRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary or the Administrator shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any such Person. Each of the Non-Conduit Purchasers, the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Non-Conduit Purchaser, CP Conduit Purchaser, APA Bank or Funding Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of ABRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary and the Administrator and made its own decision to enter into this Supplement. Each of the Non-Conduit Purchasers, the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Non-Conduit Purchaser, CP Conduit Purchaser, APA Bank or Funding Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
91
analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Supplement and the other Related Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of ABRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary and the Administrator. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Non-Conduit Purchasers and the Funding Agents by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Non-Conduit Purchaser, any CP Conduit Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of ABRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary or the Administrator which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
Section 9.7. Indemnification. Each Non-Conduit Purchaser and each of the APA Banks in a CP Conduit Purchaser Group agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by ABRCF and the Administrator and without limiting the obligation of ABRCF and the Administrator to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated, ratably in accordance with their respective Purchaser Group Invested Amounts) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Purchaser Group Invested Amounts shall have been reduced to zero, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages immediately prior to their termination) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Supplement, any of the other Related Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Non-Conduit Purchaser, APA Bank or Funding Agent shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.
Section 9.8. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with ABRCF, the Administrator or any of their Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to any Series 2010-6 Note held by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Supplement and the other Related Documents as any APA Bank or Funding Agent and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “APA Bank,” and “Funding Agent” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 9.9. Resignation of Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to the Non-Conduit Purchasers, the Funding Agents, the Trustee, ABRCF and the Administrator. If JPMorgan Chase shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Supplement, then the Requisite Noteholders shall appoint a successor administrative
92
agent from among the Non-Conduit Purchasers and Funding Agents, which successor administrative agent shall be approved by ABRCF and the Administrator (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Supplement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Non-Conduit Purchasers, the Funding Agents, the Administrator and ABRCF, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Non-Conduit Purchasers and the Funding Agents. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Administrator shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Noteholders appoint a successor administrative agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative 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 Administrative Agent under this Supplement.

In the event that any Funding Agent receives such a notice, such Funding Agent shall give notice thereof to the CP Conduit Purchaser and
94
APA Banks in its CP Conduit Purchaser Group. Such Funding Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the CP Conduit Purchaser and APA Banks in its CP Conduit Purchaser Group, provided that unless and until such Funding Agent shall have received such directions, such Funding Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the CP Conduit Purchaser and APA Banks in its CP Conduit Purchaser Group.

Prior to or concurrently with the effectiveness of any such assignment (or if impracticable, immediately thereafter), the assigning CP Conduit Purchaser shall notify the Administrative Agent, ABRCF, the Trustee and the Administrator thereof. Upon such assignment by a CP Conduit Purchaser to a Conduit Assignee, (A) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Purchaser Group Invested Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser, (B) the related administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the administrative agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Funding Agent hereunder or under the other Related Documents, (C) such Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such CP Conduit Purchaser herein and in the other Related Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (D) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such CP Conduit Purchaser’s obligations, if any, hereunder or under the Base Indenture or under any other Related Document with respect to such portion of the Purchaser Group Invested Amount and such CP Conduit Purchaser shall be released from such obligations, (E) all distributions in respect of the Purchaser Group Invested Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser shall be made to the applicable agent or administrative agent, as applicable, on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (F) the definitions of the terms “Monthly Funding Costs” and “Discount” shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “Monthly Funding Costs” and “Discount” applicable to such CP Conduit Purchaser on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee (rather than such CP Conduit Purchaser), (G) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Supplement, the Base Indenture and the other Related Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (H) if requested by the Administrative Agent or the agent or administrative agent with respect to the

Section 11.2. Securities Law.

Section 11.3. Adjustments; Set-off.
(a) If any member of a Purchaser Group (a “Benefited Purchaser Group”) shall at any time receive in respect of its Purchaser Group Invested Amount any distribution of principal, interest, Commitment Fees or any interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such distribution received by any other Purchaser Group, if any, in respect of such other Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Invested Amount, or interest thereon, such Benefited Purchaser Group shall purchase for cash from the other Purchaser Group such portion of such other Purchaser Group’s interest in the Series 2010-6 Notes, or shall provide such other Purchaser Group with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Purchaser Group to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with the other Purchaser Group; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Purchaser Group, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. ABRCF agrees that any Purchaser Group so purchasing a portion of another Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Invested Amount may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Purchaser Group were the direct holder of such portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Purchaser Groups provided by law, each member of a Purchaser Group shall have the right, without prior notice to ABRCF, any such notice being expressly waived by ABRCF to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by ABRCF hereunder or under the Series 2010-6 Notes to set-off and appropriate and apply against any and all deposits (general or
99
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Purchaser Group to or for the credit or the account of ABRCF. Each Non-Conduit Purchaser, CP Conduit Purchaser and APA Bank agrees promptly to notify ABRCF, the Administrator and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
