3.1. The 2004-RN2 Revolving Note shall bear interest at the “Revolver Interest Rate” for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note, which shall be equal to, with respect to any Monthly Distribution Date, One-Month LIBOR plus 0.12% per annum, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed during the related Collection Period (or, in the case of the initial Monthly Distribution Date for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note, from and including the 2004-RN2 Note Closing Date). Interest shall accrue on the daily Series Net Revolver Balance attributable to the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note during a Collection Period such that the Revolver Interest for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for any Monthly Distribution Date shall, subject to the following two sentences, equal the product of (a) the average daily Series Net Revolver Balance for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note during the related Collection Period and (b) the Revolver Interest Rate for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date. With respect to the final Monthly Distribution Date for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note, Revolver Interest for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note shall include an additional amount equal to the product of (a) the average daily Series Net Revolver Balance for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for the period from and including the first day of the Collection Period in which such Monthly Distribution Date occurs through but excluding such Monthly Distribution Date and (b) the Revolver Interest Rate for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for the immediately following Monthly Distribution Date.

4. Application of the 2004-RN2 Monthly Available Amount.

 

  (a) Pursuant to Section 4.5(c)(i) clause (2) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, on each Monthly Distribution Date, the Trust Interest Allocation of the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note will be withdrawn by the Indenture Trustee, based upon the Servicer’s Accounting for such Monthly Distribution Date, from the account in which such funds are held, for application pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Officer’s Issuance Certificate.

 

  (b) The Indenture Trustee, based upon the Servicer’s Accounting for such Monthly Distribution Date, on such Monthly Distribution Date will transfer an amount equal to the lesser of

 

(x) the Trust Interest Allocation for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date, together with any amounts allocated to the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note pursuant to Section 4.5(c)(ii) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement for such Monthly Distribution Date; and

 

(y) the Noteholders’ Interest for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date,

to the Revolver Distribution Account for payment of interest on the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note.

 

Any shortfall of the Trust Interest Allocation for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for a Monthly Distribution Date below the Noteholders’ Interest for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date shall constitute a “Series Shortfall” for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note. Any excess of the Trust Interest Allocation for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for a Monthly Distribution Date over the Noteholders’ Interest for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date shall constitute a “Remaining Interest Amount.”

No additional borrowings may be made under the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note during the Payment Period for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note, the Wind Down Period or any Early Amortization Period.

6.1.1  During the Revolving Period, at the discretion of the Seller, payments of principal on the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note may, but shall not be required to, be paid on a daily basis,

  (b) if any series of Class A Notes then requires Available Trust Principal to be retained or set aside to fund principal payments, out of the excess, if any, of the Principal Allocation Percentage for such series of Notes of Available Trust Principal over the amounts required to be retained or set aside with respect to such series of Notes.

 

6.1.2 

If one or more series of Revolving Notes are issued and outstanding while the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note is outstanding, payments of principal on such other Revolving Notes and the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note shall be made as determined

(y) the aggregate amount paid or set aside for payment as principal on the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note for the preceding Monthly Distribution Date, and

 

  (ii) for each Monthly Distribution Date thereafter, the lesser of

 

(x) the then Outstanding Amount of the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note as of such Monthly Distribution Date, and

 

(y) the Principal Allocation Percentage for the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note of Available Trust Principal with respect to such Monthly Distribution Date.

Distribution Date to the extent necessary to satisfy the 2004-RN2 Controlled Payment Amount shall be paid as principal on the 2004-RN2 Revolving Note (to the extent of the Outstanding Amount thereof).

Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Trust Agreement, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Seller or the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller or the Issuer under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Seller or the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller or the Issuer.
