(viii) on each Distribution Date from and after the Reserve Account Funding Date, but prior to the date on which the Reserve Account terminates pursuant to Section 4.09(e), an amount up to the excess, if any, of the Required Reserve Account Amount over the amount then on deposit in the Reserve Account will be deposited into the Reserve Account;

(b) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Revolving Period, an amount equal to the Available Principal Collections shall be treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 8.05 of the Master Indenture.

Available Principal Collections remaining after the deposit of the Monthly Principal into the Principal Funding Account shall be treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 8.05 of the Master Indenture. Available Transferor Principal Collections allocated to Series 2011-1 and remaining after the deposit of the Monthly Principal into the Principal Funding Account shall be paid to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates.

(d) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period and following the end of the Controlled Accumulation Period, an amount equal to the Available Principal Collections deposited in the Collection Account for the related Monthly Period shall be distributed or deposited in the following order of priority:

(i) an amount equal to the Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to the Class A Noteholders on such Distribution Date and on each subsequent Distribution Date until the Class A Note Principal Balance has been reduced to zero;

(ii) after giving effect to the distribution referred to in clause (i) above, an amount equal to any remaining Available Principal Collections shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to the Class B Noteholders on such Distribution Date and on each subsequent Distribution Date until the Class B Note Principal Balance has been reduced to zero;

(iii) after giving effect to the distributions referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an amount equal to any remaining Available Principal Collections shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to the Class C Noteholders on such Distribution Date and on each subsequent Distribution Date until the Class C Note Principal Balance has been reduced to zero; and

(iv) the balance of such Available Principal Collections remaining after application in accordance with clauses (i) through (iii) above shall be treated as Shared Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 8.05 of the Master Indenture.

(e) On the Expected Final Principal Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee, acting in accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Principal Funding Account and distribute to the Paying Agent for payment to the

(f) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence on February 1, 2016, provided, however, that if the Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) is less than eight months, the Servicer may elect to postpone the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences to the first Business Day of the month that is the number of whole months prior to the Expected Final Principal Payment Date at least equal to the Accumulation Period Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will at least equal the Accumulation Period Length. On the Determination Date immediately preceding the January 2016 Distribution Date, and each Determination Date thereafter until the Controlled Accumulation Period begins, the Servicer will determine the “Accumulation Period Length”, which will equal the number of whole months such that the sum of the Accumulation Period Factors for each month during such period will be equal to or greater than the Required Accumulation Factor Number; provided, however, that (i) the Accumulation Period Length shall be no less than the number of months that the Servicer determines in good faith is necessary to fund the Principal Funding Account from expected Available Principal Collections and Available Transferor Principal Collections (including taking into account reasonably anticipated reductions in the Transferor Interest during the anticipated length of the Controlled Accumulation Period) in an amount sufficient to pay the Offered Note Principal Balance in full on the Expected Final Principal Payment Date; (ii) the Accumulation Period Length will not be determined to be less than one month; and (iii) the determination of the Accumulation Period Length may be changed at any time if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.

Section 4.04. Investor Charge-Offs and Investor Uncovered Dilution.

If the Investor Default Amount exceeds the amount of Available Finance Charge Collections allocated with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(a)(v) with respect to such Distribution Date, then the Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount of the excess as an Investor Charge-Off. If the Investor Uncovered Dilution Amount exceeds the amount of Available Finance Charge Collections allocated with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(a)(v) (after giving effect to the allocation to cover the Investor Default Amount) with respect to such Distribution Date, and the Transferor Interest is zero, then the Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount by which the Transferor Interest would fall below zero if the Investor Uncovered Dilution Amount was deducted from the Transferor Interest. In no event, however, will the Invested Amount be reduced below zero.

Section 4.05. Reallocated Principal Collections. On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Indenture Trustee to apply, Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date, to fund any deficiency pursuant to and in the priority set forth in Sections 4.03(a)(i) through (iii). On each Distribution Date, the Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections for such Distribution Date.

Subject to Section 8.07 of the Master Indenture, Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to the Excess Allocation Series in Group One for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2011-1 in an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to all the Excess Allocation Series in Group One for such Distribution Date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series 2011-1 for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Finance Charge Shortfalls for all the Excess Allocation Series in Group One for such Distribution Date.

Section 4.07. Shared Principal Collections; Available Transferor Principal Collections. (a) Subject to Section 8.05 of the Master Indenture, Shared Principal Collections with respect to the Series in Group One for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2011-1 in an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections with respect to all Principal Sharing Series in Group One for such Distribution Date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2011-1 Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which are Principal Sharing Series in Group One for such Distribution Date.

(b) During the Controlled Accumulation Period, Available Transferor Principal Collections for any Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2011-1 in an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate amount of Available Transferor Principal Collections for such Distribution Date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2011-1 CAP Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate CAP Shortfall for such Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Available Transferor Principal Collections will not be allocated to Series 2011-1 for any period other than the Controlled Accumulation Period.

On each Distribution Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be retained in the Reserve Account (to the extent that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is less than the Required Reserve Account Amount) and the balance, if any, shall be deposited into the Collection Account and included in Available Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Reserve Account for any reason under this Series 2011-1 Indenture Supplement, except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

(c) In the event that on any Distribution Date the Reserve Account Draw Amount is greater than zero, the Reserve Account Draw Amount shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account by the Indenture Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer) and deposited into the Collection Account for application as Available Finance Charge Collections for such Distribution Date.

(d) In the event that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Reserve Account with respect to such Distribution Date, is greater than the Required Reserve Account Amount, the Indenture Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account an amount equal to the excess of the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account over the Required Reserve Account Amount, and distribute such excess to the holders of the Transferor Certificates.
