The lesser of the Deficiency Amount and the Available Subordinated Amount shall be the "Required Subordination Draw Amount". SECTION 4.06. Application of Investor Non-Principal Collections, Investment Proceeds and Available Investor Principal Collections. The Servicer shall cause the Trustee to apply, on each Distribution Date, commencing with the Initial Distribution Date, Investor Non-Principal Collections, Investment Proceeds and Available Investor Principal Collections to make the following distributions: (a) On each Distribution Date, commencing with the Initial Distribution Date, an amount equal to the sum of Investor Non-Principal Collections and any Investment Proceeds with respect to such Distribution Date will be distributed in the following priority: (i) first, an amount equal to Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Monthly Interest previously due but not distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Additional Interest for such Distribution Date and any Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders; (ii) second, an amount equal to the Certificateholders Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Servicer (unless such amount has been netted against deposits to the Collection Account or waived); (iii) third, an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Deposit Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date shall be deposited in the Reserve Fund; (iv) fourth, an amount equal to the Investor Default Amount for such 26 27 Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections for such Distribution Date; (v) fifth, an amount equal to the Carry-over Amount (after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Yield Supplement Account on such Distribution Date), if any, for such Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Carry-over Amount previously due but not previously distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, plus the amount of any Additional Carry-over Amount for such Distribution Date and any Additional Carry-over Amount previously due but not previously distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders; (vi) sixth, an amount equal to the Yield Supplement Account Deposit Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date shall be deposited in the Yield Supplement Account; and (vii) seventh, the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Servicing and shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.10. (b) On each Distribution Date, commencing with the Initial Distribution Date, with respect to any Nonprincipal Period, an amount equal to Available Investor Principal Collections deposited in the Collection Account for the related Collection Period shall be allocated first to make a deposit to the Excess Funding Account if the sum of (i) the Invested Amount (reduced for this purpose by the amount, if any, by which the Required Participation Amount exceeds the Pool Balance due to an increase in the Subordination Factor) and (ii) the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account (other than any Investment Proceeds) prior to the allocation on such Distribution Date is less than the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2000-A Certificates and second treated as Excess Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement. (c) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Accumulation Period, an amount equal to Available Investor Principal Collections will be distributed in the following priority: (i) first, an amount equal to Monthly Principal for such Distribution Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer or the Trustee into the Principal Funding Account; and (ii) second, unless an Early Amortization Event has occurred (other than an Early Amortization Event which has resulted in an Early Amortization Period which has ended as described in clause (c) or clause (d) of the definition thereof in this Series Supplement), after giving effect to the transactions referred to in clause (i) above, an amount equal to the balance, if any, of such Available Investor Principal Collections shall be treated as Excess Principal Collections and applied in accordance with Section 4.04 of the Agreement and Section 4.11 hereof. (d) On each Distribution Date with respect to any Early Amortization Period, an amount equal to the Monthly Principal will be distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders. SECTION 4.07. Distributions to Series 2000-A Certificateholders. 27 28 (a) The Servicer shall cause the Trustee to make the following distributions at the following times from the Collection Account, the Reserve Fund, the Principal Funding Account and the Excess Funding Account: (i) on each Distribution Date, all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Reserve Fund that are payable to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders with respect to accrued interest will be distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders; (ii) on the Series 2000-A Expected Payment Date, all amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account and the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account, and all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are payable to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders with respect to principal, up to a maximum amount on any such day equal to the excess of the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2000-A Certificates over the unreimbursed Investor Charge-Offs, shall be distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders; (iii) on each Special Payment Date, all amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account and the Excess Funding Account, and all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are payable to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders with respect to principal, up to a maximum amount on any such day equal to the excess of the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2000-A Certificates over the unreimbursed Investor Charge-Offs, shall be distributed to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders. (b) On each Distribution Date on which there is any Carry-over Amount or Additional Carry-over Amount, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders the amounts on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account and the Collection Account payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(iii) and Section 4.06(a) (other than from Available Seller's Collections), respectively. (c) If, on the Final Payment Date, there is any Carry-over Amount or Additional Carry-over Amount (after giving effect to any distributions on such date pursuant to Section 4.07(b)), the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders the amounts payable with respect thereto pursuant to Sections 4.08(b) and 4.08(d). (d) The distributions to be made pursuant to this Section are subject to the provisions of Sections 2.03, 9.02, 10.01 and 12.02 of the Agreement and Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of this Series Supplement. SECTION 4.8. Application of Reserve Fund and Available Subordinated Amount. (a) If the portion of Investor Non-Principal Collections and Investment Proceeds allocated to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders on any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a) is not sufficient to make the entire distributions required on such Distribution Date by Sections 4.06(a)(i), (ii) and (iv), the Servicer shall cause the Trustee to withdraw funds from the Reserve Fund to the extent available therein, and apply such funds to complete the distributions 28 29 pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i), (ii) and (iv); provided, however, that during any Early Amortization Period (other than an Early Amortization Period which has ended as described in clause (c) or clause (d) of the definition thereof in this Series Supplement) funds shall not be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund to make distributions otherwise required by Section 4.06(a)(iv) to the extent that, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be less than $750,000. (b) If there is a Required Subordination Draw Amount for such Distribution Date, and such Distribution Date is not the Final Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply or cause the Trustee to apply the Available Seller's Collections on deposit in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date, but only up to the amount of the Required Subordination Draw Amount, to make the distributions required by Sections 4.06(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) that have not been made through the application of funds from the Reserve Fund in accordance with the preceding paragraph. If there is a Required Subordination Draw Amount for such Distribution Date, and such Distribution Date is the Final Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply or cause the Trustee to apply the Available Seller's Collections on deposit in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date, but only up to the amount of the Required Subordination Draw Amount, to make the distributions required by Sections 4.06(a)(i), (ii), (iv) and (v) with respect to the Series 2000-A Certificates that have not been made through the application of funds from the Reserve Fund in accordance with Section 4.08(d). Any such Available Seller's Collections remaining after the application thereof pursuant to the first or second preceding sentence, as applicable, shall be treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections for such Distribution Date, but only up to the amount of unpaid Adjustment Payments allocated to Series 2000-A as described in Section 4.05(a)(vi). The amount of the Available Seller's Collections applied in accordance with the three preceding sentences shall reduce the Available Subordinated Amount in all other cases as described in clause (A) of the definition thereof. If the Required Subordination Draw Amount exceeds Available Seller's Collections for such Distribution Date, the Available Subordinated Amount shall be further reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the sum of (x) the Investor Default Amount and (y) the amount of unpaid Adjustment Payments allocated to Series 2000-A as described in Section 4.05(a)(vi). (c) If, after giving effect to the allocations of, distributions from, and deposits in, the Reserve Fund made pursuant to Sections 4.01(c), 4.04, 4.06(a), 4.08(a) and 4.08(e), (i) the amount in the Reserve Fund is greater than the Reserve Fund Required Amount (or, for any Distribution Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period, the Excess Reserve Fund Required Amount) for such Distribution Date, the Servicer shall cause the Trustee to distribute such excess amount to the Seller, subject to the proviso contained in paragraph (f) below or (ii) the amount in the Reserve Fund is less than such Reserve Fund Required Amount, then the Trustee shall deposit any remaining Available Seller's Collections on deposit in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date after giving effect to Section 4.08(b) into the Reserve Fund until the amount in the Reserve Fund is equal to such Reserve Fund Required Amount. On the Termination Date, any funds in the Reserve Fund will be treated as Available Investor Principal Collections. (d) If, on the Final Payment Date, after giving effect to (c) above, there is a Carry-over Amount or a Additional Carry-over Amount after giving effect to withdrawals from the Yield 29 30 Supplement Account on such date, the Servicer shall cause the Trustee to withdraw funds in the amount of such Carry-over Amount or Additional Carry-over Amount from the Reserve Fund (to the extent available therein), and distribute such funds to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders. (e) If, for any Distribution Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period, after giving effect to the allocations of, distributions from, and deposits in, the Reserve Fund made pursuant to Sections 4.01(c), 4.04, 4.06(a) and 4.08(a), the amount in the Reserve Fund is less than the Excess Reserve Fund Required Amount for such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit any remaining Available Seller's Collections on deposit in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date into the Reserve Fund until the amount in the Reserve Fund is equal to such Excess Reserve Fund Required Amount. (f) The balance of Available Seller's Collections on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to any distributions thereof pursuant to Section 4.08(a), (b), (c) or (e), shall be distributed to the Seller on such Distribution Date; provided that, in the case of any remaining Available Seller's Principal Collections, if the Trust Available Subordinated Amount for the immediately preceding Determination Date exceeds the Seller's Participation Amount on such date (determined after giving effect to any Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such Distribution Date), Section 4.08(c) hereof shall not apply and the amount of such excess shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund, with any remaining Available Seller's Principal Collections paid to the Seller. SECTION 4.9. Investor Charge-Offs. If, on any Distribution Date on which the Available Subordinated Amount on the preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on such Distribution Date) is zero and the Deficiency Amount for such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of the excess of such Deficiency Amount over any remaining Available Subordinated Amount on such Determination Date, but not by more than the Investor Default Amount (an "Investor Charge-Off"). Any such Investor Charge-Off shall be applied to reduce the Invested Amount for the related Collection Period. Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Investor Charge-Offs on any Distribution Date) by the sum of (a) Allocable Miscellaneous Payments with respect to such Distribution Date and (b) the amount of Excess Servicing allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.10(a). Any such increase shall be applied to increase the outstanding principal balance the Series 2000-A Certificates for the related Collection Period. SECTION 4.10. Excess Servicing. The Servicer shall cause the Trustee to apply, on each Distribution Date, commencing with the Initial Distribution Date, Excess Servicing with respect to the Collection Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date, to make the following distributions in the following priority: (a) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Investor Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed as provided in Section 4.09 (after giving effect to the allocation on such Distribution Date of any amount for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.09) shall be treated as a portion of Available Investor Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date; 30 31 (b) an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding amounts of the Certificateholders Monthly Servicing Fee which have been previously waived pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be distributed to the Servicer; and (c) the balance, if any, shall be distributed to the Seller. SECTION 4.11. Excess Principal Collections. (a) That portion of Excess Principal Collections for any Distribution Date equal to the amount of Series 2000-A Excess Principal Collections for such Distribution Date will be allocated to Series 2000-A and will be distributed as set forth in this Series Supplement. (b) Series 2000-A Excess Principal Collections, with respect to any Distribution Date, shall mean an amount equal to the Series 2000-A Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date; provided, however, that, if the aggregate amount of Excess Principal Collections for all Series for such Distribution Date is less than the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Series entitled to share Excess Principal Collections for such Distribution Date, then Series 2000-A Excess Principal Collections for such Distribution Date shall equal the product of (x) Excess Principal Collections for all Series for such Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2000-A Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Series entitled to share Excess Principal Collections for such Distribution Date. The "Series 2000-A Principal Shortfall", with respect to any Distribution Date, shall equal the excess of (i) (x) for any Distribution Date with respect to the Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount, or (y) for any Distribution Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period, the Invested Amount, over (ii) (x) with respect to the Accumulation Period, Available Investor Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Excess Principal Collections) or (y) with respect to an Early Amortization Period, Available Investor Principal Collections for such Distribution Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Excess Principal Collections). SECTION 4.12. Excess Funding Account. (a) Any funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account on the September 2002 Distribution Date will be deposited in the Principal Funding Account on such date. No funds will be deposited in the Excess Funding Account during any Early Amortization Period. Additionally, no amounts will be deposited in the Excess Funding Account with respect to any Collection Period following the August 2002 Collection Period. (b) On each Determination Date during any Nonprincipal Period, the Seller shall determine whether the sum of the Invested Amount (reduced for this purpose by the amount, if any, by which the Required Participation Amount exceeds the Pool Balance due to an increase in the Subordination Factor) and the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account (other than any Investment Proceeds) is greater than the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2000-A Certificates. If on any such Determination Date such sum is greater than the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2000-A Certificates and thus there are sufficient Principal Receivables in the Trust to permit an increase in the Invested Amount without causing an Early Amortization Event 31 32 to occur with respect to any outstanding Series, the Seller shall notify the Trustee of the amount of the increase in the Invested Amount. Subject to the provisions set forth below in this Section 4.12(b) and to Sections 4.12(c) and (d) below, upon receipt of such notice the Invested Amount shall be increased by the amount specified, and the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Excess Funding Account and pay to the Seller or allocate to one or more other Series, on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, an amount equal to the amount of such increase in the Invested Amount. Such payment shall be in payment or partial payment pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement for additional Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust or allocated to Series 2000-A. To the extent that the Invested Amount is increased by any payment to the Seller or any allocation to one or more other Series, the Seller's Interest or such other Series invested amount, as applicable, shall be reduced by the amount of such payment. In addition, any increase in the Invested Amount is subject to the condition that after giving effect to such increase (i) the Pool Balance equals or exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) the Required Participation Amount, (B) the sum of the Required Subordinated Amount and the sum of the required subordinated amounts for all other Series (or, if such other series shall have no required subordinated amount, the available subordinated amount with respect to such Series) and (C) the sum of any subordinated amounts supporting any Enhancement for all other Series. In connection with the foregoing, the Seller shall endeavor (taking into account any seasonality experienced in the Accounts in the Trust) to minimize the amounts on deposit, from time to time, in the Excess Funding Account. (c) In the event that other Series issued by the Trust provide for excess funding accounts or other arrangements similar to the Excess Funding Account involving fluctuating levels of investments in Principal Receivables, (i) the allocation of additional Principal Receivables to increase the Invested Amount, and the invested amounts of such other Series (and the related withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account and the other excess funding or similar accounts) will be based on the proportion that the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account bears to amounts on deposit in the excess funding accounts of all Series providing for excess funding accounts or such similar arrangements or to amounts otherwise similarly available and (ii) the deposit of amounts into the Excess Funding Account and the excess funding accounts of such other Series will be pro rata based on the proportion that the Adjusted Invested Amount bears to the adjusted invested amounts of all Series providing for excess funding accounts or such similar arrangements. (d) In the event that any other Series is in an amortization, early amortization or accumulation period the amounts of any withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account shall be applied first to satisfy in full any then applicable funding or payment requirements of such Series and second to make a payment to the Seller. In the event that more than one other Series is in an amortization, early amortization or accumulation period, the amounts of any withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account shall be allocated (and, if necessary, reallocated) among such Series as specified in the related Series Supplement to meet the funding or payment requirements of each such Series first to satisfy in full all then applicable funding or payment requirements of each such Series and second to make a payment to the Seller. SECTION 4.13. Accumulation Period Length; Accumulation Period Commencement Date. Beginning on the September 2002 Distribution Date, and on each Distribution Date thereafter that occurs prior 32 33 to the Accumulation Period Commencement Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Accumulation Period Length and, if applicable, determine the Accumulation Period Commencement Date. Once the Servicer has determined the Accumulation Period Commencement Date, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such determination. In connection therewith, the Seller hereby agrees not to cause the Trust to issue any new Series during the period from the date hereof until the date that the Series 2000-A Certificates shall have been paid in full, if such issuance would have an adverse effect on the results obtained by application of the formula used to compute the Accumulation Period Length. ARTICLE V Distributions and Reports to Series 2000-A Certificateholders SECTION 5.1. Distributions. (a) On each Distribution Date, commencing with the Initial Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each Series 2000-A Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 12.02 of the Agreement respecting a final distribution) such Certificateholder's pro rata share (based on the aggregate fractional undivided interests represented by the Series 2000-A Certificates held by such Certificateholder) of the amounts on deposit in the Series 2000-A Accounts as is payable to the Series 2000-A Certificateholders on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.07. (b) Except as provided in Section 12.02 of the Agreement with respect to a final distribution, distributions to Series 2000-A Certificateholders hereunder shall be made by check mailed to each Series 2000-A Certificateholder at such Certificateholder's address appearing in the Certificate Register without presentation or surrender of any Series 2000-A Certificate or the making of any notation thereon; provided, however, that, with respect to Series 2000-A Certificates registered in the name of a Depository, such distributions shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds. SECTION 5.2. Reports and Statements to Series 2000-A Certificateholders. (a) At least two Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, commencing with the Initial Distribution Date, the Servicer will provide to the Trustee, and on each such Distribution Date, the Servicer will make available via the Internet, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit B prepared by the Servicer setting forth certain information relating to the Trust and the Series 2000-A Certificates. (b) A copy of each statement provided pursuant to paragraph (a) will be made available for inspection at the Corporate Trust Office. (c) On or before January 31 of each calendar year, beginning with calendar year 2000, the Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the preceding calendar year was a Series 2000-A Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner), a statement 33 34 prepared by the Servicer containing the information which is required to be contained in the statement to Series 2000-A Certificateholders as set forth in paragraph (a) above, aggregated for such calendar year or the applicable portion thereof during which such Person (or any related Certificate Owner) was a Series 2000-A Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner), together with other information as is required to be provided by an issuer of indebtedness under the Internal Revenue Code and such other customary information as is necessary to enable the Series 2000-A Certificateholders (or Certificate Owners) to prepare their tax returns. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as from time to time in effect. ARTICLE VI Amortization Events SECTION 6.1. Additional Amortization Events. The occurrence of any of the following events shall be deemed to be an Early Amortization Event solely with respect to Series 2000-A: (a) on any Determination Date, the average of the Monthly Payment Rates for the three preceding Collection Periods is less than 20%; (b) on any Determination Date, the Available Subordinated Amount for the next Distribution Date will be less than the Required Subordinated Amount on such Determination Date, after giving effect to the distributions to be made on the next Distribution Date; (c) any Service Default with respect to Series 2000-A occurs; (d) on any Determination Date, as of the last day of the preceding Collection Period, the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables relating to Used Vehicles exceeds 20% of the Pool Balance on such last day; (e) any Carry-over Amount or any Additional Carry-over Amount is outstanding on six consecutive Distribution Dates; (f) the outstanding principal amount of the Series 2000-A Certificates is not repaid by the Series 2000-A Expected Payment Date; (g) the Trust shall file a petition commencing a voluntary case under any chapter of the Federal bankruptcy laws; or the Trust shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition under any other similar applicable Federal law, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, answer, or consent; or the Trust shall appoint, or consent to the appointment of, a custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, assignee, sequestrator or other similar official in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of any substantial part of its property; or the Trust shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; and 34 35 (h) any order for relief against the Trust shall have been entered by a court having jurisdiction in the premises under any chapter of the Federal bankruptcy laws, and such order shall have continued undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition of the Trust under any other similar applicable Federal law, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged or unstayed for a period of 120 days; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, assignee, sequestrator, or other similar official in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Trust or of any substantial part of its property, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 120 days. The Trustee agrees that upon gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event described in Section 9.01 of the Agreement or Section 6.01 of this Series Supplement it shall (a) promptly provide notice to the Rating Agencies of the occurrenc e of such event and (b) notify the Series 2000-A Certificateholders of the occurrence of such event within 45 days of the expiration of the applicable grace period, if any. In the case of any event described in Sections 9.01(f) or (g) of the Agreement or Section 6.01(c) of this Series Supplement, an Early Amortization Event with respect to Series 2000-A will be deemed to have occurred only if, after the applicable grace period described in such Sections, if any, either the Trustee or Series 2000-A Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Series 2000-A Certificates by written notice to the Seller and the Servicer (and the Trustee, if given by Series 2000-A Certificateholders) declare that an Early Amortization Event has occurred as of the date of such notice. In the case of any other Early Amortization Event, such Early Amortization Event will be deemed to have occurred immediately upon the occurrence of such event, without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or the Series 2000-A Certificateholders. In the case of any Early Amortization Event described in Sections 9.01(a) or (f) of the Agreement or this Section 6.01, other than Sections 6.01(f), (g) or (h), provided that (i) no other Early Amortization Event (other than an Early Amortization Event which has resulted in an Early Amortization Period which has terminated as described in clause (c) or clause (d) of the definition thereof in this Series Supplement) has occurred and (ii) the scheduled termination of the Revolving Period has not occurred, the Trustee agrees that it shall request written confirmation from Standard & Poor's that the termination of the Early Amortization Period caused by the occurrence of such Early Amortization Event will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of such entity's rating of the Series 2000-A Certificates. The Trustee further agrees that, where applicable, it shall promptly notify the Series 2000-A Certificateholders that it has received the written confirmation referred to in the preceding paragraph, and that the Series 2000-A Certificateholders may elect to terminate the related Early Amortization Period. ARTICLE VII Optional Repurchase 35 36 SECTION 7.1. Optional Repurchase. (a) On any Distribution Date occurring after the date on which the Invested Amount is reduced to $75,000,000 or less, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase the entire Series 2000-A Certificateholders' Interest, at a purchase price equal to the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date. (b) The Servicer shall give the Seller and the Trustee at least 10 days' prior written notice of the Distribution Date on which the Servicer intends to exercise one of the purchase options described above. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Distribution Date the Servicer shall deposit the Reassignment Amount into the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Such purchase options are subject to payment in full of the Reassignment Amount. The Reassignment Amount shall be distributed as set forth in Section 8.01(d). (c) If at the time the Servicer exercises one of its purchase options hereunder the Servicer's long-term unsecured debt has a rating lower than Baa3 by Moody's, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on such Distribution Date an opinion of Counsel (which must be an independent outside counsel) to the effect that, in reliance on certain certificates to the effect that the Series 2000-A Certificateholders' Interest purchased by the Servicer constitutes fair value for the consideration paid therefor and as to the solvency of the Servicer, the purchase of the Series 2000-A Certificateholders Interest would not be considered a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. ARTICLE VIII Final Distributions SECTION 8.1. Sale of Certificateholders' Interest Pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Agreement; Distributions Pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Series Supplement or Section 2.03 or 12.02(c) of the Agreement.
