The “Principal Shortfall” for Series 2012-1 will be equal to (a) for any Transfer Date with respect to the Revolving Period or any Transfer Date during the Early Amortization Period prior to the Transfer Date relating to the earlier of (i) the Expected Principal Payment Date and (ii) the date on which all outstanding Series are in early amortization periods, zero, (b) for any Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the excess, if any, of (i) the Controlled Deposit Amount over (ii) the amount of Available Principal Collections for such Transfer Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Shared Principal Collections or amounts available to be treated as Available Principal Collections pursuant to clauses (vi) and (vii) of Section 4.4(a)) and (c) for any Transfer Date relating to any Payment Date on or after the earlier of (i) the Expected Principal Payment Date and (ii) the date on which all outstanding Series are in early amortization periods, the sum of the Note Principal Balance and the Principal Overcollateralization Amount with respect to such Transfer Date.

 

SECTION 4.10. Reserve Account.

 

(a)          On each Transfer Date, if the aggregate amount of Available Non-Principal Collections is less than the aggregate amount required to be paid or deposited pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 4.4(a), the Issuer shall withdraw from the Reserve Account the amount of such deficiency up to the Available Reserve Account Amount and shall apply such amount in accordance with such clauses of Section 4.4(a).

 

(b)          On the Series 2012-1 Final Maturity Date, and on any day following the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Series 2012-1 that has resulted in the acceleration of the Series 2012-1 Notes, the Issuer shall withdraw from the Reserve Account the Available Reserve Account Amount and deposit such amount in the Distribution Account for payment to the Series 2012-1 Noteholders to fund any shortfalls in amounts owed to the Series 2012-1 Noteholders in the order of priority described in Section 4.4(a).

 

(c)          If on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals from the Reserve Account, the Available Reserve Account Amount is less than the Required Reserve Account Amount then in effect, Available Non-Principal Collections shall be deposited into the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(viii) up to the amount of the Reserve Account Deficiency.

 

(d)          If, after giving effect to all withdrawals from and deposits to the Reserve Account on any Transfer Date, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account exceeds the Required Reserve Account Amount, an amount equal to such excess shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account and distributed to the Issuer on the related Payment Date. On the date on which the Reserve Account has been terminated, after giving effect to any withdrawal on such date pursuant to Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(b) and making any payments to the Series 2012-1 Noteholders required pursuant to this Indenture Supplement, all amounts then remaining in the Reserve Account shall be released to the Issuer.

SECTION 4.11. Investment of Amounts on Deposit in Series Accounts.

 

(a)          To the extent there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Series Accounts, the Issuer shall cause such amounts to be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Issuer that mature no later than the following Transfer Date.

 

(b)          On each Transfer Date, the Investment Earnings, if any, accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on funds on deposit in the Reserve Account or the Principal Account shall be treated as Available Non-Principal Collections and paid or deposited in accordance with Section 4.4(a). Subject to the foregoing, for purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Reserve Account for any reason under this Indenture Supplement, all Investment Earnings shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

 

SECTION 4.12. Controlled Accumulation Period. The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the beginning of business on the Controlled Accumulation Date. On each Determination Date until the Controlled Accumulation Date, the Issuer shall review the amount of expected Principal Collections and determine the Controlled Accumulation Period Length; provided, that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) on any Determination Date is less than or more than the number of months in the scheduled Controlled Accumulation Period, upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to each Rating Agency, the Issuer shall either postpone or accelerate, as applicable, the Controlled Accumulation Date, so that as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will equal the Controlled Accumulation Period Length; provided, that the length of the Controlled Accumulation Period will not be less than one (1) month. The “Controlled Accumulation Period Length” will mean a number of whole months such that the amount available for payment of principal on the Notes and the reduction of the Principal Overcollateralization Amount on the Expected Principal Payment Date is expected to equal or exceed the Note Principal Balance plus the Principal Overcollateralization Amount, assuming for this purpose that (1) the weighted average principal payment rate on the Receivables held by the Issuer will be no greater than the lowest weighted average monthly principal payment rate for the Receivables held by the Issuer for the prior twelve (12) Monthly Periods, (2) the total amount of Principal Receivables held by the Issuer in the Trust (and the principal amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account, if any) remains constant at the level on such date of determination, (3) no Early Amortization Event with respect to any Series will subsequently occur and (4) no additional Series (other than any Series being issued on such date of determination) will be subsequently issued by the Issuer. Any notice by the Issuer modifying the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall specify (i) the Controlled Accumulation Period Length and (ii) the commencement date of the Controlled Accumulation Period.

SECTION 4.13. Determination of LIBOR.

 

(a)          On each LIBOR Determination Date in respect of an Interest Period, the Indenture Trustee shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate per annum displayed in the Bloomberg Financial Markets system as the composite offered rate for London interbank deposits for a period of the Designated Maturity, as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that date. If that rate does not appear on that display page, LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the rate per annum shown on Reuters page LIBOR01 or any successor page as the composite offered rate for London interbank deposits for a period of the Designated Maturity, as shown under the heading “USD” as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date. If no rate is shown as described in the preceding two sentences, LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the rate per annum based on the rates at which U.S. dollar deposits for a period of the Designated Maturity are displayed on page “LIBOR” of the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service or such other page as may replace the LIBOR page on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date; provided, that if at least two rates appear on that page, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the displayed rates and if fewer than two rates are displayed, or if no rate is relevant, the rate for that Interest Period shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of the Designated Maturity. The Indenture Trustee shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two (2) such quotations are provided, LIBOR for that Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean of all quotations provided. If fewer than two (2) quotations are provided as requested, LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Master Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for period of the Designated Maturity.

 

(b)          The Class A Note Interest Rate, Class B Note Interest Rate and Class C Note Interest Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at ###-###-#### or such other telephone number as shall be designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice to each Series 2012-1 Noteholder from time to time.

 

(c)          On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall send to the Issuer, by facsimile transmission, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
