SERIES 2008-1 ALLOCATIONS

 

With respect to the Series 2008-1 Notes only, the following shall apply:

 

Section 3.1.   Series 2008-1 Series Accounts.

 

(a)           Establishment of Series 2008-1 Series Accounts.  HVF shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2008-1 Noteholders three accounts: the Series 2008-1 Collection Account (such account, the “Series 2008-1 Collection Account”), the Series 2008-1 Accrued Interest Account (such account, the “Series 2008-1 Accrued Interest Account”) and the Series 2008-1 Excess Collection Account (such account, the “Series 2008-1 Excess Collection Account” and, together with the Series 2008-1 Collection Account and the Series 2008-1 Accrued Interest Account, the “Series 2008-1 Series Accounts”).  Each Series 2008-1 Series Account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2008-1 Noteholders.  Each Series 2008-1 Series Account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account.  If a Series 2008-1 Series Account is at any time no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, HVF shall, within 10 Business Days of obtaining knowledge that such Series 2008-1 Series Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, establish a new Series 2008-1 Series Account that is an Eligible Deposit Account.  If a new Series 2008-1 Series Account is established, HVF shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2008-1 Series Account into the new Series 2008-1 Series Account.

 

45



 

Initially, each of the Series 2008-1 Series Accounts will be established with The Bank of New York.

 

(b)           Administration of the Series 2008-1 Series Accounts.  HVF may instruct (by standing instructions or otherwise) the institution maintaining each of the Series 2008-1 Series Accounts to invest funds on deposit in such Series 2008-1 Series Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that (x) any such investment in the Series 2008-1 Excess Collection Account shall mature not later than the Business Day following the date on which such funds were received (including funds received upon a payment in respect of a Permitted Investment made with funds on deposit in the Series 2008-1 Excess Collection Account) and (y) any such investment in the Series 2008-1 Collection Account or the Series 2008-1 Accrued Interest Account shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the first Payment Date following the date on which such funds were received (including funds received upon a payment in respect of a Permitted Investment made with funds on deposit in the Series 2008-1 Collection Account or Series 2008-1 Accrued Interest Account), unless any such Permitted Investment is held with the Trustee, then such investment may mature on such Payment Date so long as such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Payment Date.  HVF 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 initial purchase price of such Permitted Investment.  In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2008-1 Series Accounts shall remain uninvested.

 

(c)           Earnings from Series 2008-1 Series Accounts.  All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2008-1 Series Accounts shall be deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution.

 

(d)           Series 2008-1 Series Accounts Constitute Additional Collateral for Series 2008-1 Notes.  In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the Note Obligations with respect to the Series 2008-1 Notes, HVF hereby grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2008-1 Noteholders, all of HVF’s right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or hereafter existing or acquired):  (i) the Series 2008-1 Series Accounts, including any security entitlement thereto; (ii) all funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iii) all certificates and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing any or all of the Series 2008-1 Series Accounts or the funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iv) all investments made at any time and from time to time with monies in the Series 2008-1 Series Accounts, whether constituting securities, instruments, general intangibles, investment property, financial assets or other property; (v) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Series 2008-1 Series Accounts, the funds on deposit therein from time to time or the investments made with such funds; and (vi) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash (the items in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are referred to, collectively, as the “Series 2008-1 Series Account Collateral”).

(b)           The Securities Intermediary agrees that:

(ii)           All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Series 2008-1 Designated Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any Series 2008-1 Designated Account be registered in the name of HVF, payable to the order of HVF or specially endorsed to HVF;

 

(iii)          All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Series Supplement will be promptly credited to the appropriate Series 2008-1 Designated Account;

 

(iv)          Each item of property (whether investment property, security, instrument or cash) credited to a Series 2008-1 Designated Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;

 

(v)           If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Series 2008-1 Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by HVF or the Administrator;

 

(vi)          The Series 2008-1 Designated Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision of any other agreement.  For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Series 2008-1 Designated Accounts (as well as the “securities entitlements” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the

 

66



 

New York UCC) related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York;

 

(vii)         The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until termination of this Series Supplement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the Series 2008-1 Designated Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Series Supplement will not enter into, any agreement with HVF purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 3.11(b)(v) of this Series Supplement; and

 

(viii)        Except for the claims and interest of the Trustee and HVF in the Series 2008-1 Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest, in the Series 2008-1 Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto.  If the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge of the assertion by any other person of any lien, encumbrance, or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Series 2008-1 Designated Account or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Trustee, the Administrator and HVF thereof.

 

(c)           The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2008-1 Designated Accounts and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Series 2008-1 Designated Accounts.

 

Section 3.12.   Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Caps.

 

(a)           On the Series 2008-1 Closing Date, HVF shall acquire one or more interest rate caps (each a “Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap”) from an Eligible Interest Rate Cap Provider.  At the time of the acquisition of the initial Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Caps, the aggregate notional amount of all Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Caps shall equal the Series 2008-1 Maximum Principal Amount, and the aggregate notional amount of all Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Caps may be reduced to the extent that the Series 2008-1 Maximum Principal Amount is reduced after the acquisition of the initial Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Caps but shall not at any time be less than the Series 2008-1 Maximum Principal Amount at such time.  HVF shall acquire one or more additional Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Caps in connection with any increase of the Series 2008-1 Maximum Principal Amount such that the aggregate notional amounts of all Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Caps shall equal the Series 2008-1 Maximum Principal Amount after giving effect to such increase. The strike rate of each Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap shall not be greater than 7.0%. Each Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap shall have a term of at least until the Legal Final Payment Date.  HVF shall satisfy the Series 2008-1 Rating Agency Condition and obtain the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be

 

67



 

unreasonably withheld or delayed) in connection with its acquisition of any Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap or replacement thereof.

 

(b)           If, at any time, an Interest Rate Cap Provider (and, if the present and future obligations of an Interest Rate Cap Provider under its Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap are guaranteed pursuant to a guarantee (in form and substance satisfactory to the Rating Agencies and the Administrative Agent and satisfying the other requirements set forth in the related Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap), the related guarantor) fails to satisfy the Moody’s First Trigger Required Ratings or the Standard & Poor’s First Trigger Required Rating, then the Interest Rate Cap Provider will be required, pursuant to the terms of the Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap, at the Interest Rate Cap Provider’s expense, to post and maintain collateral pursuant to a credit support annex entered into in connection with the Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap (the “Credit Support Annex”).

 

(c)           If, at any time, an Interest Rate Cap Provider is not an Eligible Interest Rate Cap Provider, then such Interest Rate Cap Provider will be required, pursuant to the terms of the Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap, at such Interest Rate Cap Provider’s expense, to obtain a replacement interest rate cap on the same terms as the Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap (or with such modifications as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the Administrative Agent) from an Eligible Interest Rate Cap Provider and, simultaneously with such replacement, HVF shall terminate the Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap being replaced; provided that no termination of the Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap shall occur until HVF has entered into a replacement Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap. Each Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap must provide that if the Interest Rate Cap Provider is required to obtain a replacement as described in the preceding sentence and such replacement is not obtained within the period specified in the Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap, then the Interest Rate Cap Provider must, until such replacement is obtained or such Interest Rate Cap Provider again becomes an Eligible Interest Rate Cap Provider, collateralize its obligations under such Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap in an amount determined pursuant to the Credit Support Annex.  If HVF is unable to cause such Interest Rate Cap Provider to take any of the actions described in this Section 3.12(c) after making commercially reasonable efforts, HVF will obtain a replacement Series 2008-1 Interest Rate Cap at the expense of the replaced Interest Rate Cap Provider or, if the replaced Interest Rate Cap Provider fails to make such payment, at the expense of HVF (in which event, such amount will be considered Indenture Carrying Charges and paid solely from Interest Collections available pursuant to Section 3.3(f) of this Series Supplement).
