The Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser shall promptly (but in no event later than the Business Day preceding the next Determination Date) notify TFFC and the Servicer of the applicable interest rate for the Advances as of the first day of each Series 2000-2 Interest Period.

If the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser, the Committed Note Purchaser or any Program Support Provider shall reasonably determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser and TFFC, be conclusive and binding on the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser and TFFC absent manifest error) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Committed Note Purchaser or any such Program Support Provider to make, continue, or maintain any Advance as, or to convert any Advance into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance, the obligation of such Person to make, continue or maintain or convert any such Advance as the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Person shall notify the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser and TFFC that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser shall immediately convert (with respect to a Program Support Provider in the manner provided for in the applicable Program Support Agreement) all Advances of the Committed Note Purchaser or any such Program Support Provider, as applicable, into the Base Rate Tranche of such Advance at the end of the then current Eurodollar Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion. SECTION 1.11 Deposits Unavailable. If the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser, the Committed Note Purchaser or any Program Support Provider shall have reasonably determined that (1) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Eurodollar Interest Period are not available to the Reference Lender in the relevant market; or (2) by reason of circumstances affecting all Reference Lender's relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to the Eurodollar Tranche of any Advance; or (3) the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser, the Committed Note Purchaser or the Majority Program Support Providers have notified the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser and TFFC that, with respect to any interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder to the Eurodollar Tranche of any Advance the Eurodollar Interest Period for which has not then commenced, such interest rate will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Program Support Providers of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance for such Eurodollar Interest Period, then, upon notice from the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser, the Committed Note Purchaser or the Majority Program Support Providers to the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser and TFFC, the obligations of the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser, the Committed Note Purchaser and all Program Support Providers to make or continue any Advance as, or to convert any Advances into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance shall forthwith be suspended until the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser shall notify TFFC that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. -10- 14 SECTION 1.12 Increased Costs, etc. TFFC agrees to reimburse the Series 2000-2 Note Purchaser and the Committed Note Purchaser and any Program Support Provider (each, an "Affected Person") for an increase in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by any such Affected Person, including reductions in the rate of return on such Affected Person's capital, in respect of making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Advances as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Advances into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation reinterpretation or phase in, in each case, after the date hereof, of any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority, except for such changes with respect to increased capital costs and taxes which are governed by Sections 3.07 and 3.08, respectively; provided, however, that TFFC shall have no obligation to pay any such additional amount under this Section 3.05 with respect to any day or days unless any such Affected Person shall have notified Twin Towers and TFFC of its demand therefor within forty-five (45) days of the date upon which such Affected Person has obtained audited information with respect to the fiscal year of such Affected Person in which such day or days occurred. Each such demand shall be provided to Twin Towers and TFFC in writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount or return. Such additional amounts shall be payable by TFFC to Twin Towers and by Twin Towers directly to such Affected Person within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Twin Towers and TFFC.

In the event any Affected Person shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Person to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Advance as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Advance into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance) as a result of: (1) any conversion or repayment or prepayment (for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of the acceleration of the maturity of the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance or the assignment thereof in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Program Support Agreement) of the principal amount of any portion of the Eurodollar Tranche on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto; (2) any Advance not being made as an Advance under the Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an Advance has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein; or (3) any Advance not being continued as, or converted into, an Advance under the Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an Advance has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein, or -11- 15 (4) any failure of TFFC to make a Decrease after giving notice thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2000-2 Supplement, (1) then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to Twin Towers and TFFC, TFFC shall pay to Twin Towers and Twin Towers shall, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Affected Person such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Twin Towers and TFFC. SECTION 1.14 Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation or reinterpretation or phase in, in each case after the date hereof, of any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person reasonably determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person's capital as a consequence of its commitment or the Advances made by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person to Twin Towers and TFFC, TFFC shall pay to Twin Towers and Twin Towers shall pay an incremental commitment fee sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; provided, however, that neither TFFC nor Twin Towers shall have any obligation to pay any such additional amount under this Section 3.07 with respect to any day or days unless such Affected Person shall have notified Twin Towers and TFFC of its demand therefor within forty-five (45) days of the date upon which such Affected Person has obtained audited information with respect to the fiscal year of such Affected Person in which such day or days occurred. A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on Twin Towers and TFFC; and provided, further, that the initial payment of such increased commitment fee shall include a payment for accrued amounts due under this Section 3.07 prior to such initial payment. In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions. SECTION 1.15 Taxes. All payments by TFFC of principal of, and interest on, the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding in the case of any Affected Person, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, overall receipts or overall assets and -12- 16 franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction of any Affected Person, as the case may be, in which it is organized or is operating or any political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, overall receipts or overall assets or franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction of any Affected Person's Domestic Office or Eurodollar Office, as the case may be, or any political subdivision thereof (such nonexcluded items being called "Taxes"). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Twin Towers hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then TFFC will pay to Twin Towers and Twin Towers will (1) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (2) promptly forward to the agent for the relevant Affected Person an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the agent for the relevant Affected Person or evidencing such payment to such authority; and (3) pay to the agent for the relevant Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Affected Person will equal the full amount such Affected Person would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent hereunder, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Taxes and Twin Towers will promptly upon receipt of prior written notice stating the amount of such Taxes, pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Affected Person would have received had not such Taxes been asserted. If TFFC fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Affected Person or its agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, TFFC shall indemnify the Affected Person and their agent for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agent as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 3.08, a distribution hereunder by the agent for the relevant Affected Person shall be deemed a payment by TFFC. Upon the request of TFFC, each Affected Person that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States shall, prior to the initial due date of any payments hereunder one or more (as TFFC may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Twin Towers shall not, however, be required to pay any increased amount under this Section 3.08 to -13- 17 any Affected Person that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States if such Affected Person fails to comply with the requirements set forth in this paragraph. SECTION 1.16 Carrying Charges. Any amounts payable by TFFC or Twin Towers under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 3.08 shall constitute Series 2000-2 Carrying Charges.

All payment obligations of Twin Towers hereunder are contingent on the availability of funds in excess of the amounts necessary to pay such short term promissory notes and each of the other parties hereto agrees that it will not have a claim under Section 1.01(5) of the Bankruptcy Code if and to the extent that any such payment obligation owed to it by Twin Towers exceeds the amount available to Twin Towers to pay such amount after paying or making provision for the payment of such short term promissory notes.
