Section 3. Interest On Series 2005-2 Notes. Each class of the Series 2005-2 Notes shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate, and at such Applicable Interest Rate (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) on overdue installments of interest.

 

11


Interest on each class of the Series 2005-2 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the number of days actually elapsed during the applicable Interest Period and shall be payable or subject to accrual on each Quarterly Distribution Date with respect to such class prior to the Maturity thereof and at the Maturity thereof. The interest payable or subject to accrual on each Quarterly Distribution Date for each class of the Series 2005-2 Notes shall be calculated on an aggregate principal amount basis, and shall be that interest which has accrued through the last day preceding such Quarterly Distribution Date or, in the case of the Maturity of a Series 2005-2 Note, the last day preceding the date of such Maturity.

The determination of each Applicable Interest Rate by the Trustee or any other Person pursuant to the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Series 2005-2 Notes, and the Issuer may rely thereon for all purposes.

 

In no event shall the cumulative amount of interest paid or payable on a class of Series 2005-2 Notes (including interest calculated as provided herein, plus any other amounts that constitute interest on the Series 2005-2 Notes of such class under applicable law, which are contracted for, charged, reserved, taken or received pursuant to the Series 2005-2 Notes of such series or related documents) calculated from the date of issuance of such class through any subsequent day during the term of such class or otherwise prior to payment in full of the Series 2005-2 Notes of such class exceed the amount permitted by applicable law. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Series 2005-2 Notes of a class or related documents or otherwise contracted for, charged, reserved, taken or received in connection with the Series 2005-2 Notes of such class, or if the redemption or acceleration of the maturity of the Series 2005-2 Notes of such class results in payment to or receipt by the Holder or any former Holder of the Series 2005-2 Notes of such class of any

Section 9. Book-Entry Series 2005-2 Notes.

Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Series 2005-2 Note shall be registered in the registration books kept by the Note Registrar in the name of the nominee of the Securities Depository. The Trustee and the Issuer may treat the Securities Depository (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Series 2005-2 Offered Notes registered in its name for the purposes of (i) payment of the principal or Prepayment Price of and interest on the Series 2005-2 Offered Notes, (ii) redemption of the Series 2005-2 Offered Notes, (iii) giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Holders under the Indenture, (iv) registering the transfer of Series 2005-2 Offered Notes, and (v) obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Holders and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor the Issuer shall be affected by any notice to the contrary (except as provided in subsection (c) below).

The Trustee shall pay all principal and Prepayment Price of and interest on the Series 2005-2 Offered Notes only to or upon the order of the Securities Depository, and all such payments shall

 

14


be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the principal, purchase price or Prepayment Price of and interest on the Series 2005-2 Offered Notes to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Except as provided in subsection (c) below, no Person other than the Securities Depository shall receive an authenticated Series 2005-2 Offered Note evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal or Prepayment Price and interest pursuant to this Indenture.

Such notice to the Securities Depository shall be given only when the Securities Depository is the sole Holder.

 

(f) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Series 2005-2 Offered Notes is permitted under subsection (b) or (c) of this Section, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Trustee from the registered Holder thereof of the Series 2005-2 Offered Notes to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted transferee, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.
