1.2 The aggregate principal amount of the 2004-A Term Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for 2004-A Term Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration and transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2004-A Term Notes pursuant to the Indenture) is $500,000,000.

  (x) the Trust Interest Allocation for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date; and

 

  (y) the Noteholders’ Interest for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date, to the Revolver Distribution Account for payment of interest on the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note.

 

  Any shortfall of the Trust Interest Allocation for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note for a Monthly Distribution Date below the Noteholders’ Interest for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date shall constitute a “Series Shortfall” for the

  2004-RN1 Revolving Note. Any excess of the Trust Interest Allocation for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note for a Monthly Distribution Date over the Noteholders’ Interest for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date shall constitute a “Remaining Interest Amount.”

 

5. Series Specified Maximum Revolver Balance

 

5.1. The Series Specified Maximum Revolver Balance of the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note shall be $250,000,000 (subject to increase or decrease in accordance with Section 4.9(a) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement; and provided that the Specified Maximum Revolver Balance does not exceed $2,250,000,000, the Seller will not be required to satisfy the Rating Agency Condition in respect of an increase in the Series Specified Maximum Revolver Balance).

 

5.2. Aggregate borrowings outstanding at any time under the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note are limited to the Series Specified Maximum Revolver Balance of the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note. No additional borrowings may be made under the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note during the Payment Period for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note, the Wind Down Period or any Early Amortization Period.

 

5.3. Additional borrowings at any time under the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note are subject to the discretion of the holder of 2004-RN1 Revolving Note and shall be made as agreed to from time to time by such holder and the Trust.

 

6. Allocations and Payments in Respect of Principal

 

6.1. Revolving Period

 

6.1.1 During the Revolving Period, at the discretion of the Seller, payments of principal on the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note may, but shall not be required to, be paid on a daily basis,

 

  (a) if no series of Notes then requires Available Trust Principal to be retained or set aside to fund principal payments, out of all Available Trust Principal, and

 

  (b) if any series of 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-RN1 Revolving Note is outstanding, payments of principal on such other Revolving Notes and the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note shall be made as determined by the Seller unless otherwise agreed by the Seller, the holders of such other Revolving Notes and the holders of the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note.

6.1.3 The 2004-RN1 Revolving Note may be extended or renewed (and the 2004-RN1 Targeted Final Payment Date adjusted accordingly) at any time prior to the last day of the month related to the Monthly Distribution Date that is the third Monthly Distribution Date immediately preceding the then applicable 2004-RN1 Targeted Final Payment Date by written notice from the affected holders thereof to the Indenture Trustee and the Seller setting forth the new 2004-RN1 Targeted Final Payment Date; provided that such new 2004-RN1 Targeted Final Payment Date shall be a Monthly Distribution Date on or prior to the March 2009 Monthly Distribution Date. Principal on the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note will be due (to the extent of funds available for such purpose) in three instalments on the three consecutive Monthly Distribution Dates ending on the then applicable 2004-RN1 Targeted Final Payment Date (which may be prior to the Scheduled Revolving Period Termination Date) unless such 2004-RN1 Targeted Final Payment Date has been extended to a date after the commencement of the Wind Down Period. Such instalments will be based on the outstanding balance as of the open of business on the first day of the related Payment Period.

 

6.2. Payment Period

 

6.2.1 Unless the Wind Down Period or an Early Amortization Period has commenced and is continuing, the Payment Period for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note shall commence on the first day of the Collection Period related to the Monthly Distribution Date that is two Monthly Distribution Dates immediately preceding the then applicable 2004-RN1 Targeted Final Payment Date, and shall continue until the earliest of

  (b) the commencement of the Wind Down Period, and

 

  (c) the date upon which the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note is paid in full.

If the Payment Period for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note shall be terminated upon the commencement of a Wind Down Period prior to the Final Revolving Period Termination Date, such Payment Period may be recommenced, if the Seller elects to recommence the Revolving Period as described in Section 9.5(b) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

6.2.3 During any Collection Period related to the Payment Period for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note, the Principal Allocation Percentage for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note of Available Trust Principal shall be allocated and set aside on a daily basis

 

4


  in the Revolver Distribution Account up to the amount of the 2004-RN1 Controlled Payment Amount (as defined below) for the Monthly Distribution Date related to such Collection Period, and amounts in excess thereof shall be available for the purpose of purchasing additional Receivables pursuant to Section 4.5(d)(i) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and to make discretionary payments of principal on the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note as provided above or any other Revolving Note or as otherwise provided in the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

  The “2004-RN1 Controlled Payment Amount” means

 

  (i) for any of the first three Monthly Distribution Dates relating to the Payment Period for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note, if any, the excess, if any, of

 

  (x) the product of

 

  (A) one-third of the Outstanding Amount of the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note as of the open of business on the first day of such Payment Period; and

 

  (B) the number (not to exceed three) of Collection Periods that have occurred with respect to such Payment Period through and including the Collection Period relating to such Monthly Distribution Date over

 

  (y) the aggregate amount paid or set aside for payment as principal on the 2004-RN1 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-RN1 Revolving Note as of such Monthly Distribution Date, and

 

  (y) the Principal Allocation Percentage for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note of Available Trust Principal with respect to such Monthly Distribution Date.

 

6.2.4 On each Monthly Distribution Date during the Payment Period for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note, all amounts set aside in the Revolver Distribution Account for the related Collection Period, together with the Principal Allocation Percentage for the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note of Available Trust Principal for such Monthly Distribution Date to the extent necessary to satisfy the 2004-RN1 Controlled Payment Amount shall be paid as principal on the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note (to the extent of the Outstanding Amount thereof). So long as the 2004-RN1

 

5


  Controlled Payment Amount is paid to the extent of Available Trust Principal so allocated to the 2004-RN1 Revolving Note for such Monthly Distribution Date and related Collection Period, there shall be no Event of Default under Section 5.1(b) of the Indenture.

The 2004-RN1 Revolving Note is one of the duly authorized series of Notes of the Issuer issued and to be issued from time to time pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, as to all Notes of all such series, the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of acceptance hereof (or of any interest herein) assents and by which such Person is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

 

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.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all the Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

 

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, neither the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer.
