16

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.

Section 7. Determination of Note Interest Rate and LIBOR.

(a) At least one Business Day prior to each Determination Date, the Administrator shall calculate the Note Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period 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.

(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 Notes will be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal places).

 

17


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 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.

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 One-Month LIBOR by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative 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 8. Increased Costs.

If any requirement of any law, rule, regulation, or order applicable to a Noteholder of a Series 2013-VF1 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 or that becomes effective subsequent to the date hereof:

18


enforced, this Indenture) 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 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 Note or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, or (in the case of any change in a Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy 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 (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.

Increased Costs payable under this Section 8 shall be payable on a Payment Date only to the extent invoiced to the Indenture Trustee prior to the related Determination Date.
