The form of the Rule 144A Definitive Note and of the Regulation S Definitive Notes that may be used to evidence the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes in the circumstances described in Section 5.4(c) of the Base Indenture are attached to the Base Indenture as Exhibits A-2 and A-4, respectively.

In addition to any provisions set forth in Section 6.5 of the Base Indenture, with respect to the Series 2013-VF1 Notes, the Noteholder of any Class of such Notes shall only transfer its beneficial interest therein to another potential investor in accordance with the applicable Note Purchase Agreement. The Indenture Trustee (in all of its capacities) shall not be responsible to monitor, and shall not have any liability, for any such transfers of beneficial interests of participation interests.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no transfer of a beneficial interest in a Retained Note that results in a Tax Issuance of the Retained Note shall be effective, and any such attempted transfer shall be void ab initio, unless, prior to and as a condition of such transfer:

(i) the transferor delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that for United States federal income tax purposes, (A) such transfer, will not result in the Issuer or the Trust Estate being subject to tax on its net income as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool taxable as a corporation, (B) after such transfer, (I) any Notes outstanding prior to such transfer (other than Specified Notes) will be debt, (II) any Class 1 Specified Notes outstanding prior to such transfer should be debt, and (C) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the transfer will not cause any Notes outstanding prior to such transfer to be sold or exchanged within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code.

In the case of a Retained Note so designated as a Specified Note, unless both (A) the Opinion of Counsel delivered by the transferor to the Indenture Trustee concludes that for United States federal income tax purposes the Retained Note should be debt and (B) the yield on the Retained Note (at the time of Tax Issuance) is no greater than the sum of (I) 7.50% plus (II) the current short-term Applicable Federal Rate, such Retained Note shall be designated as a Class 2 Specified Note; and

(iii)    if a Retained Note is so designated as a class of Specified Note, each transferee of a beneficial interest in such Note shall be required to make and shall be deemed, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, to have made the representations in Section 6.5(m) or (n) of the Base Indenture, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit E or Exhibit F of the Base Indenture, as applicable.

The minimum denominations for each class of Retained Notes will be set at the time of the first Tax Issuance of such Class in accordance with Section 6.2(b) of the Base Indenture.

After a Tax Issuance of a Retained Note it will no longer be considered to be a Retained Note for purposes of this Indenture Supplement.

Section 4.    Series Reserve Account.

In accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 4 and Section 4.6 of the Base Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain a Series Reserve Account with respect to the Series 2013-VF1 Notes, which shall be an Eligible Account, for the benefit of the Series 2013-VF1 Noteholders.

Section 5.    Collateral Value Exclusions.

For purposes of calculating “Collateral Value” in respect of the Series 2013-VF1 Notes, the Collateral Value shall be zero for any Receivable that:

(i)    is attributable to any Designated Servicing Agreement to the extent that the Receivable Balance of such Receivable, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances already outstanding with respect to such Designated Servicing Agreement, would cause the related Advance Ratio to be equal to or greater than 100.0%; provided, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Receivable that is (a) attributable to a Designated Servicing Agreement that is a Small Threshold Servicing Agreement or (b) a Loan-Level Receivable;

(ii)    is attributable to any Designated Servicing Agreement to the extent that the Receivable Balance of such Receivable, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances already outstanding with respect to such Designated Servicing Agreement, would cause the related Market Value Ratio to exceed 25.0%;

 

23


(iii)    is a Facility Eligible Receivable that is attributable to a Small Threshold Servicing Agreement to the extent that the Receivable Balance of such Receivable, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances of all Facility Eligible Receivables outstanding with respect to Small Threshold Servicing Agreements, would cause the total Receivable Balances attributable to all Facility Eligible Receivables outstanding with respect to Small Threshold Servicing Agreements to exceed 2.5% of the total Receivable Balances of all Facility Eligible Receivables included in the Trust Estate;

(iv)    is a Facility Eligible Receivable that is attributable to a Small Threshold Servicing Agreement or a Low Threshold Servicing Agreement, to the extent that the Receivable Balance of such Receivable, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances of all Facility Eligible Receivables outstanding with respect to Small Threshold Servicing Agreements and Low Threshold Servicing Agreements, would cause the total Receivable Balances attributable to all Facility Eligible Receivables outstanding with respect to Small Threshold Servicing Agreements and Low Threshold Servicing Agreements to exceed 7.5% of the total Receivable Balances of all Facility Eligible Receivables included in the Trust Estate;

(v)    is a Facility Eligible Receivable that is attributable to a Small Threshold Servicing Agreement, a Low Threshold Servicing Agreement, or a Middle Threshold Servicing Agreement, to the extent that the Receivable Balance of such Receivable, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances of all Facility Eligible Receivables outstanding with respect to Small Threshold Servicing Agreements, Low Threshold Servicing Agreements and Middle Threshold Servicing Agreements would cause the total Receivable Balances attributable to all Facility Eligible Receivables outstanding with respect to Small Threshold Servicing Agreements, Low Threshold Servicing Agreements and Middle Threshold Servicing Agreements to exceed 15.0% of the total Receivable Balances of all Facility Eligible Receivables included in the Trust Estate;

(vi)    is attributable to a Designated Servicing Agreement, to the extent that the Receivable Balance of such Receivable, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances outstanding with respect to that same Designated Servicing Agreement, would cause the total Receivable Balances attributable to such Designated Servicing Agreement to exceed 15.0% of the aggregate of the Receivable Balances of the Aggregate Receivables;

(vii)    (a) if it is a Loan-Level Receivable, its Receivable Balance, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances of all Receivables with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, would cause the related Mortgage Loan-Level Market Value Ratio to exceed 50.0% or (b) if it is a Receivable related to a Mortgage Loan or REO Property that is attributable to a Designated Servicing Agreement that is a Small Threshold Servicing Agreement, its Receivable Balance, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances of all Receivables related to the Mortgage Loan or REO Property that is attributable to a Designated Servicing Agreement that is a Small Threshold Servicing Agreement, would cause the related Mortgage Loan-Level Market Value Ratio to exceed 50.0%;

 

  (viii)    is

24


(ix)    has a zero Advance Rate;

(x)    is a Loan-Level Receivable, to the extent that the related Receivable Balance of such Loan-Level Receivable, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances of Loan-Level Receivables already outstanding with respect to all Mortgage Loans or REO Properties, causes the aggregate Receivable Balances of Loan-Level Receivables outstanding with respect to all Mortgage Loans or REO Properties to exceed 10.0% of the aggregate Receivable Balance of all Facility Eligible Receivables included in the Trust Estate; or

(xi)    is a Facility Eligible Receivable that is (a) attributable to a Small Threshold Servicing Agreement or (b) a Loan-Level Receivable, to the extent that the Receivable Balance of such Receivable, when added to the aggregate Receivable Balances of all Facility Eligible Receivables outstanding with respect to Small Threshold Servicing Agreements and all Loan-Level Receivables, would cause the total Receivable Balances attributable to all Facility Eligible Receivables outstanding with respect to Small Threshold Servicing Agreements and all Loan-Level Receivables to exceed 12.5% of the total Receivable Balances of all Facility Eligible Receivables included in the Trust Estate.

For purposes of each of the foregoing, (i) if any Facility Eligible Receivable (other than any Deferred Servicing Fee Receivable) has a Collateral Value equal to zero pursuant to any Collateral Value exclusion test, the portion of the Receivables Balance thereof with a Collateral Value of zero shall be disregarded for all other purposes of this Section 5, in each case as determined by the Administrator in a manner that maximizes the Collateral Value and (ii) if any Facility Eligible Receivable (other than any Deferred Servicing Fee Receivable) has an Advance Rate of zero or is a Second-Lien Receivable, such Facility Eligible Receivable shall be disregarded for all other purposes of this Section 5 (other than that clause (ix) above shall apply for all Deferred Servicing Fee Receivables).

Section 6.    Payments; Note Balance Increases; Early Maturity; Other Advance Rate Reduction Events.

The Paying Agent shall make payments of interest on the Series 2013-VF1 Notes on each Payment Date in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Base Indenture and any payments of interest (including unrated interest amounts), Cumulative Interest Shortfall Amounts, Fees or Increased Costs allocated to the Series 2013-VF1 Notes shall be paid first to the Class A-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, thereafter to the Class B-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, thereafter to the Class C-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, thereafter to the Class D-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, thereafter to the Class E-T1 Term Notes and thereafter to the Class F-T1 Term Notes.

The Note Balance of each Class of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes may be increased from time to time on certain Funding Dates in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 4.3 of the Base Indenture, but not in excess of the related Maximum VFN Principal Balance. The Paying Agent shall make payments of principal on the Series 2013-VF1 Term Notes (other than any Retained Notes) on each Payment Date in accordance with Section 4 of the Base Indenture during any Target Amortization Period or any Full Amortization Period.

 

25


The parties hereto agree that the failure to pay any portion of any related Undrawn Fee Amount on any Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a)(i) of the Base Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Base Indenture, the Issuer may, upon at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Derivative Counterparty, redeem in whole or in part, and/or terminate and cause retirement of any of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes at any time using proceeds of issuance of new Notes.

The Series 2013-VF1 Notes are also subject to optional redemption in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1 of the Base Indenture.

Any payments of principal allocated to the Series 2013-VF1 Notes during a Full Amortization Period shall be applied in the following order of priority, first, to the Class A-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, until their Note Balance has been reduced to zero, second, to the Class B-VF1 Variable Funding Notes until their Note Balance has been reduced to zero, third, to the Class C-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, until their Note Balance has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class D-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, until their Note Balance has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the Class E-T1 Term Notes (other than any Retained Notes), until their Note Balance has been reduced to zero and sixth, to the Class F-T1 Term Notes (other than any Retained Notes), until their Note Balance has been reduced to zero.

The Administrative Agent further confirms that the Series 2013-VF1 Notes other than the Retained Notes issued on the Issuance Date pursuant to this Indenture Supplement shall be issued in the name of “Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent on behalf of Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Committed Purchaser, and Alpine Securitization Corp., as Conduit Purchaser,” as applicable, and the Administrative Agent hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to issue the Series 2013-VF1 Notes other than the Retained Notes in the name of “Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent on behalf of Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Committed Purchaser, and Alpine Securitization Corp., as Conduit Purchaser,” as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto hereby agree that, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act as agent of each Noteholder of a 2013-VF1 Note (other than any Series 2013-VF1 Term Note) and shall determine the allocation of “Additional Note Balances” (as such term is defined in the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement) to be purchased by each such Noteholder.

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure pay any Target Amortization Amount when due, as described in the definition thereof, shall constitute an Event of Default.

 

26


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.3(b)(iii) of the Base Indenture, (i) VFN draws on any Funding Date in respect of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes are required to be made on a pro rata basis among the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, the Series 2013-VF2 Variable Funding Notes and the Series 2013-VF3 Variable Funding Notes in their Revolving Periods based on the respective amounts that can be drawn under each respective Series pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Base Indenture and (ii) draws on the other Series of VFNs (other than the Series 2013-VF2 Variable Funding Notes and the Series 2013-VF3 Variable Funding Notes) do not need to be made on a pro rata basis with the Series 2013-VF1 Notes. The VFN draws in respect of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes shall be made in accordance with the instructions provided in the related Funding Certification.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture, any payments of principal made as described in Section 13.1 (d) of the Base Indenture shall be made on a pro rata basis among the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, the Series 2013-VF2 Variable Funding Notes and the Series 2013-VF3 Variable Funding Notes.

There are no “Other Advance Rate Reduction Events” in respect of the Series 2013-VF1 Notes. If any Other Advance Rate Reduction Event in respect of any other Series of Notes is the same as any reduction event specified in clause (iv) of the definition of “Facility Early Amortization Event,” and the related Other Advance Rate Reduction Event Cure Period is shorter than the applicable grace period for the same event specified in clause (iv) of the definition of “Facility Early Amortization Event”, then solely for purposes of the Series 2013-VF1 Notes, the applicable grace period specified in clause (iv) of the definition of “Facility Early Amortization Event” shall be reduced to the Other Advance Rate Reduction Event Cure Period.

Section 7.    Extension of Expected Repayment Date.

The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, may request an extension of the Expected Repayment Date for any of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes at least fifteen (15) days prior to any Optional Extension Date. The Administrative Agent shall provide written notice of whether the Administrative Agent agrees to extend the Expected Repayment Date on such Optional Extension Date at least five (5) days prior to such Optional Extension Date. If the Administrative Agent provides written notice of its agreement to extend the Expected Repayment Date, the Expected Repayment Date will be extended on such Optional Extension Date such that, after giving effect to any such extension, the Expected Repayment Date will be 364 days after such Optional Extension Date. The Expected Repayment Date of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes cannot be extended past the Expected Repayment Date for any other Outstanding Series of Variable Funding Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Expected Repayment Date of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes shall be extended only by written notice from the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 7.

Section 8.    Determination of Note Interest Rate and LIBOR.

(a)    At least one (1) Business Day prior to each Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Note Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period (in the case of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes using the Commercial Paper Rate determined by the Conduit Administrative Agent and One Month LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8(b) below, as applicable and in the case of the Series 2013-VF1 Term Notes using One Month LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8(b) below) and the Interest Payment Amount for the Series 2013-VF1 Notes for the upcoming Payment Date, and include a report of such amount in the related Payment Date Report.

 

27


(b)    On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Administrative Agent will determine the arithmetic mean of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) quotations for one-month Eurodollar deposits (“One-Month LIBOR”) for the succeeding Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2013-VF1 Notes on the basis of the Reference Banks’ offered LIBOR quotations provided to the Calculation Agent as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date. As used herein with respect to a LIBOR Determination Date, “Reference Banks” means leading banks engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market (i) with an established place of business in London, (ii) whose quotations appear on the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page for the LIBOR Determination Date in question and (iii) which have been designated as such by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) and are able and willing to provide such quotations to the Calculation Agent for each LIBOR Determination Date; and “Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page” means the display designated as page US0001M Index Page on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News (or such other pages as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying LIBOR quotations of major banks). If any Reference Bank should be removed from the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page or in any other way fails to meet the qualifications of a Reference Bank, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, designate an alternative Reference Bank.

If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, two or more of the Reference Banks provide offered One-Month LIBOR quotations on the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page, One-Month LIBOR for the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes will be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal places).

If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provides such offered One-Month LIBOR quotations for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period, One-Month LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period for the applicable Classes of Series 2013-VF1 Notes will be the higher of (x) One-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous LIBOR Determination Date and (y) the Reserve Interest Rate. The “Reserve Interest Rate” on any date of determination will be the rate per annum that the Administrative Agent determines to be either (A) the arithmetic mean (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal places) of the one-month Eurodollar lending rate that New York City banks selected by the Administrative Agent are quoting, on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two leading banks in the London Interbank market or (B) in the event that the Administrative Agent is unable to determine such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month Eurodollar lending rate that the New York City banks so selected by the Administrative Agent are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date to leading European banks.

If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, the Administrative Agent is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in the preceding paragraph, One-Month LIBOR for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period will be One-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous LIBOR Determination Date.

 

28


Notwithstanding the foregoing, One-Month LIBOR for an Interest Accrual Period shall not be based on One-Month LIBOR for the previous Interest Accrual Period on the Series 2013-VF1 Notes for two consecutive LIBOR Determination Dates. If, under the priorities described above, One-Month LIBOR for an Interest Accrual Period on the Series 2013-VF1 Notes would be based on One-Month LIBOR for the previous LIBOR Determination Date for the second consecutive LIBOR Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall select an alternative index (over which the Administrative Agent has no control) used for determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent third party, and this alternative index shall constitute One-Month LIBOR for all purposes under this Indenture Supplement in that event.

(c) The establishment of the Commercial Paper Rate by the Conduit Administrative Agent and One-Month LIBOR by the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent’s subsequent calculation of the Note Interest Rate on the Series 2013-VF1 Notes for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.

Section 9.    Increased Costs.

(a)    If any Regulatory Change or other requirement of any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to a Noteholder of a Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Note (a “Requirement of Law”) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Noteholder with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(1)    shall subject such Noteholder to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to its Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Note (excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes imposed on such Noteholder as a result of any present or former connection between such Noteholder and the United States, other than any such connection arising solely from such Noteholder having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Indenture Supplement) or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Noteholder in respect thereof; shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Noteholder which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Note Interest Rate hereunder; or

(2)    shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or credit extended or participated by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Noteholder which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Note Interest Rate hereunder; or

 

29


(3)    shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Noteholder’s capital or on the capital of such Noteholder’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Indenture Supplement, in the case of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement, or the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes to a level below that which such Noteholder or such Noteholder’s holding company could have achieved but for such Requirements of Law (other than any Regulatory Change, Requirement of Law, interpretation or application thereof, request or directive with respect to taxes) (taking into consideration such Noteholder’s policies and the policies of such Noteholder’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy); or

(4)    shall impose on such Noteholder or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to taxes) affecting this Indenture Supplement, in the case of the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes, the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement or the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes or any participation therein; or

(5)    shall impose on such Noteholder any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Noteholder, by an amount which such Noteholder deems to be material, of continuing to hold its Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Note, of maintaining its obligations with respect thereto, or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Noteholder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) or (in the case of any change in a Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Noteholder or any Person controlling such Noteholder with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental or quasi-governmental authority made subsequent to the date hereof) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Noteholder’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its obligations as a Noteholder of a Variable Funding Note to a level below that which such Noteholder or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Noteholder’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Noteholder to be material, then, in any such case, such Noteholder shall invoice the Administrator for such additional amount or amounts as calculated by such Noteholder in good faith as will compensate such Noteholder for such increased cost or reduced amount, and such invoiced amount shall be payable to such Noteholder on the Payment Date following the next Determination Date following such invoice, in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(1)(ii) or Section 4.5(a)(2)(ii) of the Base Indenture, as applicable; provided, however, that any amount of Increased Costs in excess of the Increased Costs Limit shall be payable to such Noteholder in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(1)(ix) or Section 4.5(a)(2)(iv) of the Base Indenture, as applicable.

(b)    Each Support Party (as such term is defined in the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement) shall be entitled to receive additional payments and indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 as though it were a Committed Purchaser and such Section applied to its interest in or commitment to acquire an interest in the Series 2013-VF1 Variable Funding Notes; provided, that such Support Party shall not be entitled to additional payments pursuant to this Section 9 by reason of Requirements of Law which occurred prior to the date it became a Support Party;

 

30


provided, further, that such Support Party shall be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 9 only to the extent that its related Conduit Purchaser would have been entitled to receive such amounts in the absence of Support Advances (as such term is defined in the VF1 Note Purchase Agreement) from such Support Party. The provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to the Conduit Administrative Agent and to such of its Affiliates as may from time to time administer, make referrals to or otherwise provide services or support to the Conduit Purchasers (in each case as though such Conduit Administrative Agent or Affiliate were a Purchaser and such Section applied to its administration of or other provisions of services or support to such Conduit Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), whether as an administrator, administrative agent, referral agent, managing agent or otherwise.

(c)    Increased Costs payable under this Section 9 shall be payable on a Payment Date only to the extent invoiced to the Indenture Trustee prior to the related Determination Date.

Section 10.    Series Reports.

(a)    Series Calculation Agent Report.  The Calculation Agent shall deliver a report of the following items together with each Calculation Agent Report pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Base Indenture to the extent received from the Servicer, with respect to the Series 2013-VF1 Notes:

(ii)    the Advance Ratio for each Designated Servicing Agreement, and whether the Advance Ratio for such Designated Servicing Agreement exceeds 100.0%;

(iii)    the Market Value Ratio for each Designated Servicing Agreement, and whether the Market Value Ratio for such Designated Servicing Agreement exceeds 25.0%;

(iv)    for each Small Threshold Servicing Agreement, as of the end of the most recently concluded calendar month, the aggregate of the Funded Advance Receivable Balances of all Receivables attributable to such Designated Servicing Agreement as a percentage of the aggregate of the Funded Advance Receivable Balances of all Receivables included in the Trust Estate;

(v)    for each Middle Threshold Servicing Agreement, as of the end of the most recently concluded calendar month, the aggregate of the Funded Advance Receivable Balances of all Receivables attributable to such Designated Servicing Agreement as a percentage of the aggregate of the Funded Advance Receivable Balances of all Receivables included in the Trust Estate;

(vi)    for each Low Threshold Servicing Agreement, as of the end of the most recently concluded calendar month, the aggregate of the Funded Advance Receivable Balances of all Receivables attributable to such Designated Servicing Agreement as a percentage of the aggregate of the Funded Advance Receivable Balances of all Receivables included in the Trust Estate;

 

31
