If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, two (2) 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 2012-VF3 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 (1) 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 2012-VF3 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 (2) 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.

 

32


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 2012-VF3 Notes for two (2) consecutive LIBOR Determination Dates. If, under the priorities described above, One-Month LIBOR for an Interest Accrual Period on the Series 2012-VF3 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 Administrator’s subsequent calculation of the Note Interest Rate on the Series 2012-VF3 Notes for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.

 

  Section 8. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Regulatory Change or other requirement of any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to a Holder of a Series 2012-VF3 Note (a “Requirement of Law”) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Holder 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 Holder to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to its Series 2012-VF3 Note (excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes imposed on such Holder as a result of any present or former connection between such Holder and the United States, other than any such connection arising solely from such Holder having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Indenture Supplement or any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under Code sections 1471 through 1474 as of the date of this Indenture (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any regulations or official interpretations thereunder and any agreements entered into under 1471(b) of the Code or any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed as a result of a failure by such Noteholder to timely furnish the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer any applicable IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (with any applicable attachments)) or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Holder 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 Holder which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Note Interest Rate hereunder; or

 

33


(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 Holder which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Note Interest Rate hereunder; or

(3) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Holder’s capital or on the capital of such Holder’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Indenture Supplement, the VF3 Note Purchase Agreement or the Series 2012-VF3 Notes to a level below that which such Holder or such Holder’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 Holder’s policies and the policies of such Holder’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy); or

(4) shall impose on such Holder or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to taxes) affecting this Indenture Supplement, the VF3 Note Purchase Agreement or the Series 2012-VF3 Notes or any participation therein; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Holder, by an amount which such Holder deems to be material, of continuing to hold its Series 2012-VF3, 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 Holder (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 Holder or any Person controlling such Holder 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 Holder’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its obligations as a Holder of a Variable Funding Note to a level below that which such Holder or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Holder’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Holder to be material, then, in any such case, such Holder shall invoice the Administrator for such additional amount or amounts as calculated by such Holder in good faith as will compensate such Holder for such increased cost or reduced amount, and such invoiced amount shall be payable to such Holder 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 Cost Limit shall be payable to such Holder in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(1)(viii) or Section 4.5(a)(2)(vi) of the Base Indenture, as applicable.

 

34


(b) Each Support Party (as such term is defined in the VF3 Note Purchase Agreement) shall be entitled to receive additional payments and indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 as though it were a Committed Purchaser and such Section applied to its interest in or commitment to acquire an interest in the Series 2012-VF3 Notes; provided, that such Support Party shall not be entitled to additional payments pursuant to this Section 8 by reason of Requirements of Law which occurred prior to the date it became a Support Party; provided, further, that such Support Party shall be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8 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 VF3 Note Purchase Agreement) from such Support Party. The provisions of this Section 8 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 8 shall be payable on a Payment Date only to the extent invoiced to the Indenture Trustee prior to the related Determination Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the other Transaction Documents (i) it is intended that Receivables related to the No-RAC Servicing Agreements be eligible for financing under this Indenture Supplement and the other Transaction Documents notwithstanding the failure of the related transfer conditions set forth above to be satisfied, (ii) the No-RAC Servicing Agreements shall not fail to be Facility Eligible Servicing Agreements solely as a result of the failure of such transfer conditions to be satisfied, (iii) Receivables related to the No-RAC Servicing Agreements shall not fail to be Facility Eligible Receivables solely as a result of the failure of such transfer conditions to be satisfied and (iv) the failure of such transfer conditions to be satisfied shall not be deemed to constitute, cause or otherwise give rise to a breach, default, Event of Default, Facility Early Amortization Event, Target Amortization Event, Servicer Termination Event or similar event under this Indenture Supplement, the Base Indenture or the other Transaction Documents, in each case so long as the Servicer has not received a notice of termination with respect to any such No-RAC Servicing Agreement from any Person entitled to deliver such notice under such No-RAC Servicing Agreement.

  Section 15. Limited Recourse.

(a) Reimbursement of Advances upon Transfer of Servicing.

(c) It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 15 shall not (a) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Trust Estate or (b) save as specifically provided therein, constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Series 2012-VF3 Notes or secured by this Indenture Supplement. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 15 shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Series 2012-VF3 Notes or this Indenture Supplement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

  Section 20. Permitted Refinancings.

At the request of the Administrator, so long as PSA Migration Conditions are satisfied at such time, the Administrative Agent will permit the Permitted Refinancing of assets into a bilateral credit facility provided by the Administrative Agent. Such bilateral credit facility will be on the same terms to as the Series 2012-VF3 Notes (including, but not limited to, maintenance of an Applicable Rating), and any commitment under such bilateral credit facility will automatically result in a corresponding reduction in the Maximum VFN Principal Balance of the Series 2012-VF3 Notes.

 

  Section 21. Joint and Several Liability.

Each of NRZ and the Administrator hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders for all representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other obligations of the Administrator set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

  Section 22. Cap Payment Amount.

In accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 22 and Section 4.6 of the Base Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain a Derivative Agreement Account and Derivative Reserve Account for the benefit of the Cap Payment Holders. If either of the Derivative Agreement Account or Derivative Reserve Account loses its status as an Eligible Account, the funds in such account shall be moved to an account that qualifies as an Eligible Account within fourteen (14) days. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit and withdraw available amounts from the Derivative Agreement Account and Derivative Reserve Account pursuant to, and to the extent required by, this Section 22.

 

41


On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall remit any amounts paid by the Derivative Counterparty in respect of the Derivative Agreement (and, in accordance with the immediately succeeding paragraph of this Section 22, any applicable amounts from the Derivative Reserve Account) to the Cap Payment Holders, 2012-VF3 Noteholders and the Depositor, as applicable, in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the Cap Payment Holder in respect of the Class A-VF3 Variable Funding Notes, an amount equal to the Cap Payment Amount for the Class A-VF3 Variable Funding Notes for the prior Interest Accrual Period; (ii) second, to the Cap Payment Holder in respect of the Class B-VF3 Variable Funding Notes, an amount equal to the Cap Payment Amount for the Class B-VF3 Variable Funding Notes for the prior Interest Accrual Period; (iii) third, to the Cap Payment Holder in respect of the Class C-VF3 Variable Funding Notes, an amount equal to the Cap Payment Amount for the Class C-VF3 Variable Funding Notes for the prior Interest Accrual Period; (iv) fourth, to the Cap Payment Holder in respect of the Class D-VF3 Variable Funding Notes, an amount equal to the Cap Payment Amount for the Class D-VF3 Variable Funding Notes for the prior Interest Accrual Period; (v) fifth, to increase the balance on reserve in Derivative Reserve Account to the extent necessary to remedy any Derivative Imbalance; and (vi) sixth, with respect to any amounts remaining, to the Depositor as holder of the Owner Trust Certificate.

If the Series 2012-VF3 Note Balance is greater than the related Notional Amount on any Funding Date (such amount, the “Derivative Imbalance”), the Indenture Trustee shall withhold from any funding on such Funding Date an amount from such funding (and remit such withheld amounts from such funding to the Derivative Reserve Account) in amount necessary to cause the amounts on deposit in the Derivative Reserve Account to equal the Derivative Imbalance Required Reserve. The amounts on deposit in the Derivative Reserve Account will be used on each Payment Date to pay any shortfall in the Cap Payment Amount in accordance with this Section 22. If a Derivative Imbalance is unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days after a Responsible Officer of the Administrator obtains actual knowledge thereof or receives written notice (which may be electronic) thereof from the Indenture Trustee, Cap Payment Holder or the Administrative Agent, upon the written approval of the Administrator and the Administrative Agents, the Indenture Trustee shall release such Derivative Imbalance Required Reserve to purchase an additional Derivative Agreement (which shall have the same “Cap Rate” as the original Derivative Agreement) with the Derivative Counterparty to cure such Derivative Imbalance. If, on any Funding Date, (x) the amounts on deposit in the Derivative Reserve Account exceed the Derivative Imbalance Required Reserve and (y) there are no outstanding unpaid Cap Payment Amounts (after giving effect to the use of any other amounts on deposit in the Derivative Reserve Account to pay such amounts as contemplated hereby), then, the Indenture Trustee shall remit such excess to the Depositor as holder of the Owner Trust Certificate on the such Funding Date.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be responsible for the payment of any amounts in respect of the Derivative Agreement and the Derivative Counterparty shall not be entitled to any rights, benefits or privileges under the Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document other than as set forth in the Derivative Agreement.
