Except with respect to taxes included in the exclusion in the preceding sentence, if the Borrower or the Servicer shall be required by law to make any such deduction, (i) the Borrower shall make an additional payment to such Affected Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(2) Each Affected Party which is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof shall, on or prior to the date that such Affected Party becomes a party to or obtains rights under this Agreement, and prior to any payment being made by the Borrower to such Affected Party, deliver to the Borrower (i) two duly completed and executed copies of the IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor form) as applicable; and (ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so, such other forms or certificates as may be required under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction (on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete), in order to permit the Borrower to make payments to, and deposit funds to or for the account of, such Affected Party hereunder and under the other Facility Documents without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax.

(3) Each Affected Party shall deliver to the Borrower such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, to the extent applicable, (x) to demonstrate that payments to such Affected Party under this Agreement and the Loans are exempt from any United States withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (y) to allow the Borrower to determine the amount to deduct or withhold under FATCA from a payment hereunder. Each Affected Party further agrees to complete and to deliver to the Borrower from time to time, so long as it is eligible to do so, any successor or additional form required by the Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax.
(d) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the benefit of any Affected Party pursuant to this Section as a result of a change of law or treaty occurring after such Affected Party first became a party to this Agreement, such Affected Party will, at the Borrowers request, change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the sole judgment of such Affected Party, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Party.
1.9 Section 2.15(d) of the Loan and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such clause in its entirety.
1.10 Section 2.16 of the Loan and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

Garcia II and Verde Investments, Inc. subject only to the contingency that they be released from all other Subject Credit Enhancements, then, so long as no Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Lender, upon certification to the Lender by Ernest C. Garcia II and Verde Investments, Inc. of such release, shall terminate the Demand Note Guaranty and shall execute and deliver such instruments and documents as Ernest C.

SECTION 2.18. Collateral Dispositions. The Borrower may, but shall not be required to, from time to time enter into, or participate in, Contract Disposition Transactions pursuant to which the Borrower distributes or sells some or all of the Collateral as of a specified cut-off date if (i) either (A) with respect to a sale of Pledged Contracts, the net proceeds payable to the Borrower in connection with any such Contract Disposition Transaction are equal to or greater than the Required Takeout Price on the date of such sale or (B) with respect to a distribution of Collateral, the such distribution shall meet all of the Distribution Conditions, (ii) the Collateral to be included in such Contract Disposition Transaction are selected by the Borrower, DTCC or DTAC in a manner not intended to, or that could be reasonably expected to, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Lender or the Secured Parties and (iii) with respect to a sale of Pledged Contracts, the Borrower has directed the buyer of the Pledged Contracts to be included in such Contract Disposition Transaction in writing (with a copy to the Lender) to remit all such net proceeds of its purchase of such Pledged Contracts directly to the Collection Account. With respect to any sale of Pledged Contracts, upon receipt by the Lender of confirmation that the net proceeds of the purchase price for the Pledged Contracts that are included in any Contract Disposition Transaction have been credited to the Collection Account, (x) the Lender shall apply such net proceeds to reduce the Outstanding Revolving Loan Amount and Outstanding Term Loan Amount and to pay any other Borrower Obligations included in the calculation of the Required Takeout Price and (y) the related Contract Documents shall be released to the buyer thereof. With respect to any distribution of Collateral, upon approval by the Lender, exercising reasonable discretion, of a Release Request together with a Borrowing Base Certificate, if applicable, the related Contract Documents shall be released from of the security interest of the Lender in the applicable Collateral and the Lender shall execute and deliver such
instruments of release, prepared by and at the expense of the Borrower, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to release the Lenders security interest therein.

If such Additional Residual Indebtedness is sold to, or funded by, other Third-Party Lenders on varying terms, the Lenders terms and conditions shall be the same as those most favorable to the prospective Third-Party Lenders.

As used herein, Excluded Indebtedness shall mean: (i) Indebtedness outstanding from time to time under one or more
Securitization Transactions or Warehouse Facilities (including swingline or other tranches of Indebtedness within a Warehouse Facility); (ii) any Indebtedness under those certain 12.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 issued by Parent and comparable note issuances secured in part by residual cash flows; and (ii) any Indebtedness and secured by (incurred to acquire) inventory, real estate or equipment which is also secured in part by residual cash flows.

Garcia II or Verde Investments, Inc. shall so assert in writing or otherwise seek to terminate or disaffirm his or its obligations under the Demand Note Guaranty at any time following the execution thereof.
