This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED INDENTURE (as amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), is made and entered into as of September 7, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by and among NRZ ADVANCE RECEIVABLES TRUST 2015-ON1, a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”), DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking association, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and as Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary (in each case, as defined below), HLSS HOLDINGS, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“HLSS”), NEW RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“NRM”), NEW PENN FINANCIAL, LLC d/b/a SHELLPOINT MORTGAGE SERVICING, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Shellpoint”), OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“OLS”), and CREDIT SUISSE AG, NEW YORK BRANCH (“Credit Suisse”), as an Administrative Agent.
RECITALS OF THE ISSUER
The Issuer entered into that certain Xxxxxxx and Restated Indenture (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Indenture”), dated as of August 17, 2017 (the “Restatement Closing Date”), among the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, HLSS, OLS, NRM and Credit Suisse.
The parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Existing Indenture pursuant to this Indenture such that the Existing Indenture continues in full force and effect as amended hereby and, except with respect to the terms that have been amended pursuant to this Indenture, all obligations of the parties hereto (including representations and warranties made and covenants to be performed prior to the Effective Date) under the Existing Indenture will remain outstanding and continue in full force and effect, unpaid, unimpaired and undischarged, and all liens created under the Existing Indenture will continue in full force and effect, unimpaired and undischarged, having the same perfection and priority for payment and performance of the obligations of the parties hereto as were in place under the Existing Indenture.
On the Effective Date, the parties are entering into this Indenture.
OLS, HLSS and HLSS MSR – EBO Acquisition LLC (“MSR – EBO”, as assignee of Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd.) are parties to MSR Purchase Agreement (as defined below). Pursuant to the MSR Purchase Agreement, OLS sold certain economics associated with various residential mortgage loan servicing agreements to HLSS.
Pursuant to the Master Agreement (as defined below) and the Transfer Agreement (as defined below), NRM has become, prior to the date hereof, the named servicer (as successor to OLS) under certain Designated Servicing Agreements.
Pursuant to the New RMSR Agreement (as defined below) and the Transfer Agreement, OLS, HLSS, MSR – EBO and NRM, as applicable, have agreed that on any date on or after the Effective Date in which all required consents and ratings agency letters required for a formal change of the named servicer under certain Designated Servicing Agreements shall have been obtained, OLS shall transfer to NRM or Shellpoint, as applicable, the related Servicing Rights Assets (as defined in the Transfer Agreement) in respect of such Designated Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Agreement. Upon any such transfer, OLS will subservice the related mortgage loans on behalf of NRM or Shellpoint pursuant the NRM Subservicing Agreement or Shellpoint Subservicing Agreement, as applicable (each as defined below).
In the event that neither of the NRZ Servicers becomes the named servicer under any particular Designated Servicing Agreement as contemplated by the New RMSR Agreement and the Transfer Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of those agreements OLS may repurchase its interests in the related mortgage servicing rights from HLSS and MSR-EBO, in accordance with the terms of the New RMSR Agreement. Upon any repurchase contemplated by the preceding sentence, such agreement shall no longer be a Designated Servicing Agreement.
Prior to the Transfer Date with respect to any Designated Servicing Agreement, OLS shall continue to (i) be the “Servicer” under such Designated Servicing Agreement, (ii) have the obligation to make the required Advances under such Designated Servicing Agreement, and (iii) have the right to collect the related Receivables in reimbursement of such Advances.
Prior to the Transfer Date with respect to any Designated Servicing Agreement, upon its disbursement of an Advance pursuant to a Designated Servicing Agreement (including the Subserviced Servicing Agreements), OLS, as servicer, becomes the beneficiary of a contractual right to be reimbursed for such Advance in accordance with the terms of the related Designated Servicing Agreement (including the Subserviced Servicing Agreements) in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
Following the Transfer Date with respect to any Designated Servicing Agreement, the applicable NRZ Servicer shall thereafter (i) be the “Servicer” under such Designated Servicing Agreement, (ii) have the obligation to make the required Advances under such Designated Servicing Agreement, and (iii) have the right to collect the related Receivables in reimbursement of such Advances. Upon the disbursement of an Advance by a subservicer (on or after the related Transfer Date) pursuant to a Designated Servicing Agreement and upon payment for such Advance to such subservicer, such NRZ Servicer becomes the beneficiary of a contractual right to be reimbursed for such Advance in accordance with the terms of the related Designated Servicing Agreement.
OLS and Homeward Residential Inc. (“Homeward”) have entered into agreements whereby OLS subservices loans under the Homeward Designated Servicing Agreements described or referenced on Schedule 2 to the Receivables Sale Agreement. Upon any transfer pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, OLS will then subservice the related loans pursuant to the NRM Subservicing Agreement or the Shellpoint Subservicing Agreement, as applicable.
Pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Existing Indenture, with prior notice to each Note Rating Agency that is then rating any Outstanding Notes and with the consent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Subservicer (whose consent shall be required only to the extent that an amendment to the Existing Indenture would materially affect the Subservicer), the Administrative Agent and any applicable Derivative Counterparty and without consent of any of the Noteholders or any other Person, the Issuer, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee upon delivery by the Issuer of an Issuer Tax Opinion (unless such opinion is waived pursuant to Section 12.1(a) or 12.1(c) of the Existing Indenture), an Officer’s Certificate complying with 12.1(c) of the Existing Indenture and either (i) confirmation in writing to the Indenture Trustee by each Note Rating Agency currently rating the Outstanding Notes that such amendment will not cause a Ratings Effect (as defined below) on any Outstanding Notes or (ii) if the Administrator and the Administrative Agents determine in their reasonable judgment that an applicable Note Rating Agency no longer provides such written confirmation described in the foregoing clause (i), (a) written notice by the Administrator to the related Note Rating Agency and (b) written consent of each Administrative Agent, may enter into one or more amendments to the Existing Indenture.
2
Pursuant to Section 12.3 of the Existing Indenture, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized and permitted by the Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied (the “Authorization Opinion”), and pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Existing Indenture, the Issuer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in the Existing Indenture relating to a proposed action have been complied with. Such Authorization Opinion and such Officer’s Certificate have been delivered.
Pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Existing Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all conditions precedent to a proposed action, if any, have been complied with, which has been included in the Authorization Opinion.
The Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance of its Variable Funding and Term Notes to be issued in one or more Series and/or Classes.
All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer, in accordance with its terms, have been done.
All defined terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Transaction Documents.
GRANTING CLAUSE
The Issuer hereby reaffirms the Grants and pledges of the security interests in the “Collateral” pursuant to the Existing Indenture. The Issuer hereby further Grants to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of (a) the Noteholders, (b) each Derivative Counterparty, if any, and/or each Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider, if any, and/or each Liquidity Provider, if any, that is a party to any Derivative Agreement, Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement or Liquidity Facility, as applicable, entered into in connection with the issuance of a Series of Notes, and (c) the Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity (clauses (a), (b) and (c), each, a “Secured Party” and collectively, the “Secured Parties”), a security interest in all its right, title and interest in and to the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wheresoever located (collectively, the “Collateral”), and all monies, “securities,” “instruments,” “accounts,” “general intangibles,” “payment intangibles,” “goods,” “letter of credit rights,” “chattel paper,” “financial assets,” “investment property” (the terms in quotations are defined in the UCC) and other property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the following:

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such Action will become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the Action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at any meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, will be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 11.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.5.

Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit will also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

Section 1.7. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.
(a) Where this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Note provides for notice to registered Noteholders of any event, such notice will be sufficiently given (unless expressly provided otherwise herein, in such Indenture Supplement or in such Note) if in writing and mailed by overnight courier, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or personally delivered to each Noteholder of a Note affected by such event, at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, facsimile, electronic transmission or delivery, none of the failure to mail, send by facsimile, send by electronic transmission or deliver such notice, or any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholders will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders and any notice that is mailed, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or delivered in the manner herein provided shall conclusively have been presumed to have been duly given.
62
Where this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Note provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver will be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders will be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing will not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
(b) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it will be impractical to mail notice of any event to any Noteholder of a Note when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any method of notification as will be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer will be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
(c) Where this Indenture provides for notice to each Note Rating Agency, failure to give such notice will not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder and will not under any circumstance constitute an Adverse Effect.
Section 1.8. Administrative Agent.
(a) Discretion of Administrative Agent. Any provision providing for the exercise of discretion of the Administrative Agent means that such discretion may be executed in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, as further provided in the definition of “Administrative Agent” herein and notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture to the contrary, any approvals, consents, votes or other rights exercisable by the Administrative Agent under this Indenture (other than any Indenture Supplement related to a specific Series) shall require the approval, consent, vote or other exercise of rights of each Person specified by name under the definition of “Administrative Agent” or in its stead its Affiliate or successor as noticed to the Indenture Trustee.
(b) Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture, a related Indenture Supplement or in the other Transaction Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Indenture or any Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Noteholder. Nothing in this Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Noteholder shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Issuer in connection with the purchase of any Note and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Issuer and the value of the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Noteholder with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date, as applicable, or at any time or times thereafter.
63

(a) Grant of Trust Estate. The Issuer has Granted the Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee has accepted this Grant, pursuant to the Granting Clause.
66
(b) Notification of MBS Trustees. The Servicer hereby represents and warrants that it has notified (or will notify) the related MBS Trustees with respect to the Designated Servicing Agreements as of the initial date of the assignment, transfer of ownership and pledge of Receivables related to such Servicing Agreements, including the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts, and that each related Receivable is subject to the Indenture Trustee’s Security Interest, pursuant to a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. The notices indicating the Security Interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables relating to a particular Designated Servicing Agreement shall be deleted, rescinded or modified when, and only when, all related Receivables have been paid in full or have been released from such Security Interest pursuant to this Indenture. In addition, each Determination Date Report shall include a list of the Receivables, and any such list or related trial balance or Schedule of Receivables, and any other list of the Receivables (other than (i) any list provided from time to time to a MBS Trustee in the ordinary course of business and (ii) any communications with owners of equity interests in HLSS and their related advisors) provided by the Servicer, the Receivables Seller or the Issuer to any third party shall include language indicating that the Receivables identified therein are subject to the Indenture Trustee’s Security Interest.
(c) Addition and Removal of Designated Servicing Agreements.
(i) Addition of Designated Servicing Agreements.
(A) HLSS may at any time designate any Facility Eligible Servicing Agreement (except in the case of Ineligible Designated Servicing Agreements which may be any Servicing Agreement) as a Designated Servicing Agreement under the Receivables Sale Agreement, whereupon such Servicing Agreement shall become a “Designated Servicing Agreement” for purposes of this Indenture with respect to the Advance Types of Receivables that are designated as eligible pursuant to such Servicing Agreement if (1) the Administrator has certified in writing to the Indenture Trustee that such Servicing Agreement is a Facility Eligible Servicing Agreement, (2) the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has approved such Servicing Agreement for addition and approved the designation of the Advance Types of Receivables that are eligible and (3) written notice of such addition has been provided to the Note Rating Agencies for the Outstanding Notes. Prior to the addition of any Designated Servicing Agreement, as provided in this Section 2.1(c), the Administrator must certify to the Indenture Trustee in writing that it has filed all financing statements or amendments to financing statements to ensure that the Indenture Trustee's Security Interest in any Receivables related to any additional Designated Servicing Agreements is perfected and of first priority.
(B) If any Servicing Agreements are added as Designated Servicing Agreements, the Administrator shall update the Designated Servicing Agreement Schedule, which shall specifically designate the Advance Type of Receivables that are eligible and furnish it to the Indenture Trustee, and the most recently furnished schedule shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee as the definitive Designated Servicing Agreement Schedule.
67
(C) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer may acquire existing Receivables under Servicing Agreements to be added as Designated Servicing Agreements directly from another special purpose financing subsidiary of HLSS pursuant to an Assignment and Recognition Agreement, the Receivables from which are at the time of transfer financed in another facility and such Receivables may constitute Facility Eligible Receivables notwithstanding that such Receivables were not transferred by the Receivables Seller to the Depositor and then by the Depositor to the Issuer.
(ii) Removal of Designated Servicing Agreements.
(A) HLSS may remove any Servicing Agreement as a Designated Servicing Agreement under Section 2(e) of the Receivables Sale Agreement, pursuant to a Permitted Refinancing (with the consent of the Administrative Agent) and/or change any Advance Types of Receivables that are designated as eligible or ineligible pursuant to such Servicing Agreement, whereupon such agreement shall no longer constitute a “Designated Servicing Agreement” or the Advance Types of Receivables shall no longer be designated as eligible or no longer be designated as ineligible (as the case may be, with respect to changes in categorization of certain Advance Types from the date on which they were originally designated with approval of the Administrative Agent) pursuant to such Servicing Agreement for purposes of this Indenture (except that, unless the Issuer conducts a Permitted Refinancing, Receivables related to Advances made by or Deferred Servicing Fees accrued by the Servicer pursuant to that agreement prior to its removal shall continue to be part of the Trust Estate, in which case HLSS may not assign to another Person any Receivables arising under that Servicing Agreement until all Receivables that arose under that Servicing Agreement that are included in the Trust Estate shall have been paid in full or sold or otherwise transferred in a Permitted Refinancing). Prior to removing any Designated Servicing Agreement or designating such Advance Types of Receivables as no longer eligible or no longer ineligible pursuant to such Servicing Agreement as provided in this Section 2.1(c), the Issuer must (1) receive prior written approval from the Administrative Agent, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion and (2) send prior written notice of such removal to each Note Rating Agency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may sell the unreimbursed Receivables with respect to a removed Servicing Agreement to the Servicer for a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the Receivable Balance thereof upon payment of which such Receivables shall no longer be part of the Trust Estate; provided, however, that in no event shall the Issuer sell Receivables to the Servicer, on any date, to the extent that, after such sale, the cumulative amount of Receivables sold to the Servicer pursuant to this sentence would exceed 10% of the aggregate Receivable Balance of the Receivables that have been conveyed to the Issuer from the Cut-off Date through and including the date of sale. Following any such sale, the related Servicing Agreement shall cease to be a “Designated Servicing Agreement” for purposes hereof and the other Transaction Documents.
68
(B) If any Servicing Agreements are removed as Designated Servicing Agreements or any Advance Types of Receivables with respect to a Designated Servicing Agreement are no longer designated as eligible or no longer designated as ineligible, as the case may be, with respect to changes in categorization of certain Advance Types from the date on which they were originally designated with the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Administrator shall update the Designated Servicing Agreement Schedule, which shall specifically designate the Advance Type of Receivables that are eligible and furnish it to the Indenture Trustee, and the most recently furnished schedule shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee as the definitive Designated Servicing Agreement Schedule.
(d) Protection of Transfers to, and Back-up Security Interests of Depositor and Issuer. The Administrator shall take all actions as may be necessary to ensure that the Trust Estate is Granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Administrator, at its own expense, shall make (or cause to be made) all initial filings on or about the Closing Date hereunder and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Indenture Trustee. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator, at its own expense at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect and maintain the first priority status of the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Estate, including without limitation (i) continuation statements, and (ii) such other statements as may be occasioned by (A) any change of name of any of the Receivables Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Issuer, (B) any change of location of the jurisdiction of any of the Receivables Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Issuer, (C) any transfer of any interest of the Receivables Seller, the Depositor or the Issuer in any item in the Trust Estate or (D) any change under the applicable UCC or other applicable laws. The Administrator shall enforce the Depositor’s obligations pursuant to the Receivables Pooling Agreement, and the Receivables Seller’s and the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. The Administrator shall enforce the related Prior Issuer’s obligations pursuant to any Assignment and Recognition Agreement or Closing Agreement, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
(e) Release of Receivables Following Receivables Sale Termination Date. The Indenture Trustee shall release to the Issuer all Receivables in the Trust Estate upon the occurrence of the Receivables Sale Termination Date, and shall execute all instruments of assignment, release or conveyance, prepared by the Issuer or the Receivables Seller, and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Receivables Seller.

(i) a copy of the related Designated Servicing Agreement and each amendment and modification thereto;
(ii) any documents other than those identified in Section 2.2(a) received from or made available by the related MBS Trustee, Servicer, securities administrator or other similar party in respect of such Receivable; and
(iii) any and all other documents that the Issuer, the Servicer or the Receivables Seller, as the case may be, shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to such Receivable or the related Mortgage Pool or Servicing Agreement.
(c) Delivery of Updated Designated Servicing Agreement Schedule. The Administrator shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an updated Schedule 1 prior to or in connection with the addition or deletion of any Servicing Agreement as a Designated Servicing Agreement, the modification to the eligibility status of any Advance Type of Receivables arising under such Servicing Agreement or the occurrence of a Transfer Date with respect to a Designated Servicing Agreement and the Indenture Trustee shall hold the most recently delivered version as the definitive Schedule 1. The Administrator represents and warrants, as of the date hereof and as of the date any new Servicing Agreement is added as a Designated Servicing Agreement, that Schedule 1, as it may be updated by the Administrator from time to time and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, is a true, complete and accurate list of all Designated Servicing Agreements.
70
In addition, the Administrator shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an updated Schedule of Receivables on each Funding Date in electronic form, and the Indenture Trustee shall maintain the most recent Schedule of Receivables it receives, and send a copy to any Noteholder upon request.
In addition, in connection with the delivery of each updated Schedule 1 pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), the Administrator shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an updated Schedule 3, Schedule 4, or Schedule 6 as necessary to reflect any updates upon the addition or removal of Designated Servicing Agreements or designation or modification of eligibility status for any Advance Type of Receivables pursuant to Section 2.1(c).
(d) Marking of Records. The Administrator or the Sub-Administrator on behalf of the Administrator shall ensure that, from and after the time of the sale and/or contribution of the Initial Receivables and all Additional Receivables to the Depositor under the Receivables Sale Agreement and to the Issuer under the Receivables Pooling Agreement, each Assignment and Recognition Agreement and the Grant thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, any records (including any computer records and back‑up archives) maintained by or on behalf of the Servicer that refer to any Receivable indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer and the Security Interest of the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and subject to the Indenture Trustee’s Security Interest. Indication of the Issuer’s ownership of a Receivable and the Security Interest of the Indenture Trustee shall be deleted from or modified on such records when, and only when, such Receivable has been paid in full, repurchased, or assigned by the Issuer and released by the Indenture Trustee from its Security Interest.
Section 2.3. Indemnity Payments for Receivables Upon Breach.
(a) Upon discovery by the Issuer or the Administrator, or upon the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, of a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Receivables Seller as to any Receivable set forth in Section 4(b) or Section 5(b), as applicable, of the Receivables Sale Agreement, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties hereto. Upon notice of such a breach, the Administrator shall enforce the Issuer’s rights to require the Receivables Seller to deposit the Indemnity Payment with respect to the affected Receivable(s) into the Collection and Funding Account. This obligation shall pertain to all representations and warranties of the Receivables Seller as to the Receivables set forth in Section 4(b) or Section 5(b), as applicable, of the Receivables Sale Agreement, whether or not the Receivables Seller has knowledge of the breach at the time of the breach or at the time the representations and warranties were made.
(b) Unless repurchased by the Receivables Seller in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Sale Agreement or in a transaction contemplated by Section 2.1 hereof, the Receivables shall remain in the Trust Estate, regardless of any receipt of an Indemnity Payment in the Collection and Funding Account. The sole remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders with respect to a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Receivables Seller as to any Receivable set forth in Section 4(b) or Section 5(b), as applicable, of the Receivables Sale Agreement shall be to enforce the obligation of the Issuer hereunder and the remedies of the Issuer (as assignee of the Depositor) against the Receivables Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the payment of any Indemnity Payment for any Receivable pursuant to this Section 2.3, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2.
71
(c) To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Administrator and solely during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee, are authorized to commence at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, legal proceedings to enforce any Receivable against the related MBS Trustee or any successor servicer or other appropriate party or to commence or participate in a legal proceeding (including without limitation a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, the Receivables Seller or the Servicer; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate the Indenture Trustee to take or initiate such action or legal proceeding, unless indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it shall have been provided. The Administrator or the Sub-Administrator on behalf of the Administrator shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection and Funding Account, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, all amounts realized in connection with any such action.

The Indenture Trustee or the Administrator (or a Sub-Administrator acting on the Administrator’s behalf), in its capacity as custodian (each, a “Custodian”) pursuant to Section 2.2(b), shall hold the portion of the Receivable Files that it is required to maintain under Section 2.2 in its possession from time to time for the use and benefit of all present and future Noteholders, and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Calculation Agent and the Indenture Trustee to comply with this Indenture. Each Custodian shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that it would exercise if it owned the Receivables itself. Each Custodian shall promptly report to the Issuer any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any actions or omissions of the Administrator in its capacity as Custodian or otherwise.

The Indenture Trustee and the Administrator, in their capacities as Custodian(s), shall make available to the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, any group of Interested Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee (in the case of the Administrator) or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the portion of the Receivable Files that it is required to maintain under this Indenture and the accounts, books and records maintained by the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator with respect thereto as promptly as reasonably practicable following not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice for examination during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with such Person’s ordinary conduct of business.

So long as the Indenture Trustee complies with the provisions of this Section 4.1, the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon by reason of investment performance, liquidation prior to stated maturity or otherwise in any Trust Account (including a Sinking Fund Account). The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred in any Trust Account (including a Sinking Fund Account) as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure to be provided with timely written investment direction.
In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including, without limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of the United States (“Applicable Law”), the Indenture Trustee is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Indenture Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Indenture Trustee to comply with Applicable Law.
89
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder of each Series by its acceptance of the related Note will be deemed to have agreed, that such Noteholder shall have no claim or interest in the amounts on deposit in any Trust Account created under this Indenture or any related Indenture Supplement related to an unrelated Series except as expressly provided herein or therein.
As of the Closing Date, (i) the Issuer will be disregarded as an entity separate from its single owner (the “Single Owner”), which will be a domestic corporation, all within the meaning of Section 7701 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and (ii) the Trust Accounts will be maintained and controlled by the Indenture Trustee but the amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts (including income, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the Single Owner for U.S. federal income tax reporting and withholding purposes (but, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts will be subject to the lien granted to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Issuer is the legal owner of the amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts and not the Single Owner). The Issuer agrees to notify the Indenture Trustee in writing promptly following any change in the status of the Issuer as an entity that is disregarded from a single owner that is a domestic corporation and will provide such tax documentation that is required under the Code, Treasury Regulations or similar provisions of local income tax provisions (together, the “Tax Law”) by any change in its status. As of the Closing Date, the Single Owner shall provide the Paying Agent with an IRS Form W-9 and any additional IRS forms and documentation needed to permit the Paying Agent to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under the Tax Law with respect to the Trust Accounts and will thereafter provide such additional or updated IRS Forms and documentation as reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or as required under the Tax Law. Deutsche Bank, both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Paying Agent or in any other capacity under the Transaction Documents, shall have no liability to the Single Owner or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Trust Accounts pursuant to the Tax Law arising from the Single Owner’s or other person’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph.
The Indenture Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be for the Indenture Trustee’s economic self-interest for (a) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments and Sinking Fund Permitted Investments, (b) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and Sinking Fund Permitted Investments and (c) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments and Sinking Fund Permitted Investments. Such compensation is not payable or reimbursable under this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee is hereby directed to enter into any Closing Agreement and any Assignment and Recognition Agreement executed by the Administrative Agent.
Section 4.2. Collections and Disbursements of Advances by Servicer.
(a) Daily Deposits of Advance Reimbursement Amounts. The Servicer shall deposit all Advance Reimbursement Amounts to its clearing account, and shall cause each Subservicer to deposit any Advance Reimbursement Amounts it collects to its clearing account, within one (1) Business Day after its receipt thereof. The Servicer, for and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, shall remit or cause the Subservicer to remit, into the Collection and Funding Account all Advance Reimbursement Amounts collected by the Servicer or the Subservicer pursuant to any Designated Servicing Agreement, no later than two (2) Business Days after the Servicer’s or Subservicer’s deposit thereof into its clearing account; provided, however, that if a Designated Servicing Agreement requires the related Servicer to remit such amounts to a Custodial Account, the Servicer or the Subservicer shall deposit such collections to such Custodial Account no later than two (2) Business Days after collection thereof by the Servicer or the Subservicer, and shall cause such amounts to be remitted directly (unless the Servicer has provided notice to the Administrative Agent as contemplated in the immediately following sentence) from such Custodial Account(s) to the Initial Collection Account (which amounts shall afterwards be deposited into the Collection and Funding Account within one (1) Business Day of deposit into the Initial Collection Account) or to the Collection and Funding Account no later than two (2) Business Days after such amounts are deposited into the clearing account. If the Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, remits Collections through one or more intermediate steps in the course of transfer from its clearing account to the related Custodial Account, or from the related Custodial Account to the Collection and Funding Account, the Servicer shall identify each such account in writing to the Administrative Agent. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit to the Collection and Funding Account all Advance Reimbursement Amounts it receives from the Servicer daily. To the extent the Indenture Trustee receives for deposit Advance Reimbursement Amounts in the Collection and Funding Account later than 2:00 p.m. New York City Time on a Business Day, such funds shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Servicer shall have remitted to the Collection and Funding Account, Advance Reimbursement Amounts in respect of P&I Advances made under a Designated Servicing Agreement in an amount sufficient to reimburse all P&I Advances that were made under such Designated Servicing Agreement using funds other than Amounts Held for Future Distribution, the Servicer may leave additional Advance Reimbursement Amounts collected with respect to such Designated Servicing Agreement in the related Custodial Account and use such funds to reimburse Amounts Held for Future Distribution as required pursuant to Section 4.2(c). The Initial Collection Account shall at all times qualify as an Eligible Account. If, at any time, the Initial Collection Account has ceased to qualify as an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall within sixty (60) days of the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or through receipt of written notice to the Servicer that Initial Collection Account has ceased to qualify as an Eligible Account, establish a new Initial Collection Account qualifying as an Eligible Account and transfer any cash and any investments on deposit into such newly established Initial Collection Account.
91
(b) Payment Dates. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall transfer from the Collection and Funding Account to the Note Payment Account all funds then on deposit therein. Except in the case of Redemption Amounts, which may be remitted by the Issuer directly to the Note Payment Account, none of the Servicer, the Subservicer, the Administrator, the Issuer, the Calculation Agent nor the Indenture Trustee shall remit to the Note Payment Account, and each shall take all reasonable actions to prevent other Persons from remitting to the Note Payment Account, amounts which do not constitute payments, collections or recoveries received, made or realized in respect of the Receivables or the initial cash deposited by the Noteholders with the Indenture Trustee on the date hereof, and the Indenture Trustee will return to the Issuer or the Servicer any such amounts upon receiving written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such amounts are not a part of the Trust Estate.
(c) Restoration of Amounts Held for Future Distribution. The Servicer generally has the right to remit amounts held for distribution to the MBS Trustee in a future month (“Amounts Held for Future Distribution”) on deposit in each Custodial Account, to the related MBS Trustee as part of the Servicer’s monthly P&I Advances required under the related Designated Servicing Agreement. The Servicer shall deposit the full amount of any Amount Held for Future Distribution with respect to each Designated Servicing Agreement that were so used by the Servicer (or the Subservicer on its behalf), in any month, back into the related Custodial Account, to the extent not restored already out of Advance Reimbursement Amounts, by no later than the date on which the Servicer would have been required to remit such amount to the related MBS Trustee as a current monthly Mortgage Loan collection, or earlier if so required under the related Servicing Agreement. If the Servicer fails to restore any such Amount Held for Future Distribution at the time when it is required to do so pursuant to this Section 4.2(c), and does not correct such failure within one (1) Business Day, then the Servicer covenants hereunder that it shall no longer use any Amounts Held for Future Distribution in making any of its P&I Advances at any time on or after such failure.
(d) Delegated Authority to Make P&I Advances. The Receivables Seller and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoint the Noteholder(s) of any Outstanding VFN with the authority (but no obligation) to make any P&I Advance on the Servicer’s behalf to the extent the Servicer fails to make such P&I Advance when required to do so pursuant to the related Designated Servicing Agreement.
Section 4.3. Funding of Additional Receivables.
(a) Funding Certifications. By no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the first (1st) Business Day prior to each Funding Date (or such other time as may be agreed to from time to time by the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agent), the Administrator or the Sub-Administrator on behalf of the Administrator shall prepare and deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent and the Administrative Agent (and, on any Interim Payment Date, each applicable VFN Noteholder) a certification (each, a “Funding Certification”) containing a list of each Funding Condition and presenting a yes or no answer beside each indicating whether such Funding Condition has been satisfied and shall state in writing the amount to be funded on that Funding Date.
(b) VFN Draws, Discretionary Paydowns and Permanent Reductions.
92
With respect to each VFN:
(i) By no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to any Interim Payment Date or Payment Date during the Revolving Period for such VFN on which any applicable Variable Funding Note Class is Outstanding, the Issuer may deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Noteholder of such Variable Funding Notes and to the Indenture Trustee a report (a “VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request”) for such upcoming Funding Date, requesting such Noteholders to fund a VFN Principal Balance increase on any Class or Classes of VFNs in the amount(s) specified in such request, which request shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to recognize an increase in the related VFN Principal Balance, but not in excess of the lesser of (x) the related Maximum VFN Principal Balance or (y) the amount that would cause the Collateral Test to be violated. The VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request shall also state the amount, if any, of any principal payment to be made on each Outstanding Class of VFNs on the upcoming Interim Payment Date or Payment Date.
(ii) From time to time, but not exceeding once per calendar month, during the Revolving Period for such VFN, the Issuer may notify the Administrative Agent of a permanent reduction in the Maximum VFN Principal Balance by indicating such reduction on the VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request. Following such permanent reduction, the applicable VFN Noteholders shall only be required to fund increases in the VFN Principal Balance up to such reduced Maximum VFN Principal Balance. Furthermore, following a reduction in the Maximum VFN Principal Balance pursuant to this clause (ii), the Issuer shall not at any time be permitted to request an increase in the Maximum VFN Principal Balance.
(iii) If the related Funding Certification indicates that all Funding Conditions have been met, the applicable VFN Noteholders shall fund the VFN Principal Balance increase by remitting pro rata (based on such Noteholder’s percentage of the Maximum VFN Principal Balance) the amount stated in the request to the Indenture Trustee by 12:00 p.m. (noon) New York City time on the related Funding Date, whereupon the Indenture Trustee shall adjust its records to reflect the increase of the VFN Principal Balance (which increase shall be the aggregate of the amounts received by the Indenture Trustee from the applicable VFN Noteholders) by the later of (i) 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such Funding Date or (ii) two hours after the receipt by the Indenture Trustee of such funds from the VFN Noteholders, so long as, after such increase and after giving effect any Receivables to be purchased, the Collateral Test will continue to be satisfied, determined based on the VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request and Determination Date Report. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request and the related Determination Date Report and Funding Certification. The Indenture Trustee shall make available on its website to the Issuer or its designee and each applicable VFN Noteholder, notice on such Funding Date as reasonably requested by the Issuer of any increase in the VFN Principal Balance. The Indenture Trustee shall apply and remit any such payment by the VFN Noteholders toward the payment of the related New Receivables Funding Amounts and (if applicable) Excess Receivables Funding Amounts as described in Section 4.3(c). If on any Funding Date there is more than one Series with Outstanding Variable Funding Notes, VFN draws on such Funding Date shall be made on a pro rata basis among all applicable Outstanding Series of VFNs in their Revolving Periods based on their respective available Borrowing Capacities, unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement and Note Purchase Agreement. If any VFN Noteholder does not fund its share of a requested VFN draw, one or more other VFN Noteholders may fund all or a portion of such draw, but no other VFN Noteholder shall have any obligation to do so. Draws on VFNs of different Classes within the same Series need not be drawn pro rata relative to each other. Any draws under any VFNs shall be used only (i) to purchase new Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Pooling Agreement or an Assignment and Recognition Agreement and (ii) to provide funding in respect of Excess Receivables Funding Amounts, in each case, in a manner that would not be in violation of any term hereof (including, without limitation, in a manner that would result in a material adverse United States federal income tax consequence to the Trust Estate or any Noteholders).
93
(c) Payment of New Receivables Funding Amounts.
(i) Subject to its receipt of a duly executed Funding Certification from the Administrator pursuant to Section 4.3(a) stating that all Funding Conditions have been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee shall remit to the Issuer (or the Issuer’s designee), by the close of business New York City time on each Funding Date, the amount of (x) the aggregate New Receivables Funding Amount for Additional Receivables to be funded on such Funding Date and (y) any other amounts to be drawn on the VFNs on such date in respect of Excess Receivables Funding Amounts without causing the related VFN Principal Balance to exceed either (I) the related Maximum VFN Principal Balance or (II) the amount that would cause the Collateral Test not be satisfied, using the following sources of funding in the following order:
(A) any funds on deposit in the Collection and Funding Account minus the Required Expense Reserve,
(B) if such Funding Date is a Payment Date, Available Funds allocated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(1)(vii),
(C) if such Funding Date is an Interim Payment Date, Available Funds allocated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.4(e); and
(D) any amounts paid by VFN Noteholders as described in Section 4.3(b);
(ii) Subject to its receipt of a duly executed Funding Certification from the Administrator pursuant to Section 4.3(a) indicating that all Funding Conditions have been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee shall remit to the Issuer (or the Issuer’s designee) by the close of business on each Interim Payment Date or Payment Date occurring at any time when not all Outstanding Notes are in Full Amortization Periods, (A) the amount of the aggregate New Receivables Funding Amount for Additional Receivables to be funded on such Interim Payment Date or Payment Date, using (1) Available Funds allocated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.4(e) or Section 4.5(a)(1)(vii), and (2) any amounts funded by VFN Noteholders in respect of such New Receivables Funding Amount as described in Section 4.3(b) and (B) any amounts funded by VFN Noteholders in respect of Excess Receivables Funding Amounts as described in Section 4.3(b).
94
(iii) Except with respect to P&I Advance Receivables eligible for funding on a Funding Date prior to disbursement of the related P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.3(e) and except for Deferred Servicing Fee Receivables, the Administrator shall not and shall not permit the Issuer or the Depositor to, request funding for any Receivables except to the extent that the related Advances shall have been disbursed to the related MBS Trustees, prior to the receipt of the related New Receivables Funding Amount. Unless and until a VFN Noteholder or the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes instruct the Indenture Trustee by a written notice that no portion of the New Receivables Funding Amount may be paid by the Indenture Trustee without first receiving a written certification that all of the related P&I Advances have been previously disbursed by the Receivables Seller (a “Cease Pre-Funding Notice”), which may be delivered at any time as deemed necessary by such Noteholder(s) in the exercise of its or their sole and absolute discretion, the Indenture Trustee may pay the New Receivables Funding Amount for P&I Advances on any Funding Date. If a Cease Pre-Funding Notice has been delivered, then no P&I Advance Receivables may be funded until all the related P&I Advances have been disbursed and the Receivables Seller shall have delivered a written certification to such effect to the Indenture Trustee with respect to all related Advances.
(d) P&I Advance Disbursement Account. Pursuant to Section 4.1, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account in the name of the Issuer as the P&I Advance Disbursement Account. The taxpayer identification number associated with the P&I Advance Disbursement Account shall be that of the Issuer and the Receivables Seller will report for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, the income, if any, on funds on deposit in the P&I Advance Disbursement Account. Subject to Section 4.1, funds on deposit from time to time in the P&I Advance Disbursement Account shall remain uninvested. The Indenture Trustee shall have and is hereby directed by the Issuer to exercise the sole and exclusive right to disburse funds from the P&I Advance Disbursement Account and each of the Servicer, Administrator and Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right to provide payment or withdrawal instructions with respect to the P&I Advance Disbursement Account or to otherwise direct the disposition of funds from time to time on deposit in the P&I Advance Disbursement Account. The P&I Advance Disbursement Account shall at all times qualify as an Eligible Account. If, at any time, the P&I Advance Disbursement Account has ceased to qualify as an Eligible Account, the Indenture Trustee shall within sixty (60) days of the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or through receipt of written notice to the Indenture Trustee that the P&I Advance Disbursement Account has ceased to qualify as an Eligible Account, establish a new P&I Advance Disbursement Account qualifying as an Eligible Account and transfer any cash and any investments on deposit into such newly established P&I Advance Disbursement Account.
95
(e) Pre-Funding of P&I Advances. On any Funding Date during the Revolving Period for any Series or Class of Notes, the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf) may request that all or a portion of the New Receivables Funding Amount be applied in satisfaction of the Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances under one or more Designated Servicing Agreements. Prior to the receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a Cease Pre-Funding Notice, the Indenture Trustee shall apply the portion of the New Receivables Funding Amount requested by the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf) on any Funding Date to “Noteholders’ Amounts” (as defined below) in accordance with this Section 4.3(e). Not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) New York City time on the Business Day preceding each Funding Date (or such other time as may be agreed to from time to time by the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agent), the Issuer (or the Administrator (or the Sub-Administrator on the Administrator’s behalf) on its behalf) shall deliver a disbursement report (the “Disbursement Report”) to the Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail (A) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances required to be advanced by the Servicer under each Designated Servicing Agreement on such Funding Date for which HLSS desires pre-funding in accordance with this Section 4.3(e) (each such amount, a “P&I Advance Amount”), (B) the payment or wiring instructions for the Custodial Account or accounts relating to each Designated Servicing Agreement with respect to which the Servicer is obligated to disburse a P&I Advance Amount on such Funding Date, (C) the Series New Receivables Funding Amount for each Series and the full New Receivables Funding Amount, that would apply to each P&I Advance Amount if such P&I Advance Amount were a P&I Advance Receivable (such Collateral Value, the “Noteholders’ Amount”), and (D) a calculation for each P&I Advance Amount of the excess of such P&I Advance Amount over the Noteholders’ Amount (such excess, the “Issuer Amount”). Not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) New York City time on each Funding Date, (x) the Issuer (or the Administrator (or the Sub-Administrator on the Administrator’s behalf) on its behalf) shall deposit to the P&I Advance Disbursement Account in cash or immediately available funds, an amount equal to the sum of the Issuer Amounts with respect to each Designated Servicing Agreement and (y) the Indenture Trustee shall transfer to the P&I Advance Disbursement Account, out of the proceeds of the New Receivables Funding Amount, an amount equal to the sum of the Noteholders’ Amounts with respect to each Designated Servicing Agreement. Not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on each Funding Date, the Indenture Trustee will, solely from funds on deposit in the P&I Advance Disbursement Account, remit the P&I Advance Amount with respect to each Designated Servicing Agreement to the applicable custodial accounts listed in the related Disbursement Report. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not transfer any funds from the Collection and Funding Account to the P&I Advance Disbursement Account or disburse any P&I Advance Amount on any Funding Date unless it shall have confirmed receipt of the sum of the Issuer Amounts described on the related Disbursement Report.
(f) Limited Funding Dates. On any Limited Funding Date, subject to its receipt of a duly executed Funding Certification from the Administrator or the Sub-Administrator on behalf of the Administrator pursuant to Section 4.3(a) stating that all Funding Conditions have been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee shall, by the close of business New York City time on each Limited Funding Date occurring during the Revolving Period for any Series or Class of Notes, (i) remit to the Issuer (or the Issuer’s designee) the amount of the aggregate New Receivables Funding Amount for Additional Receivables to be funded on such Limited Funding Date, using only funds on deposit in the Collection and Funding Account minus the Required Expense Reserve, and (ii) thereafter, release any Excess Cash Amount to the Depositor as holder of the Owner Trust Certificate it being understood that no such Excess Cash Amounts may be paid to the Depositor under this clause (f) if, after the payment of such cash amounts, the Collateral Test would no longer be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no draws on Variable Funding Notes may be made on a Limited Funding Date, and no payments on any Notes shall be made on a Limited Funding Date, as Limited Funding Dates shall not be treated as Interim Payment Dates but instead shall be for the sole purpose of funding new Receivables, funding the Accumulation Accounts and the Series Reserve Account for each Series as described in the following sentence and releasing Excess Cash Amounts to the extent permissible under the terms of this Indenture. On each Limited Funding Date, prior to amounts being released for the purchase of new Receivables in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 4.3(f), the Indenture Trustee shall release from the Collection and Funding Account to each of the Fee Accumulation Account, Interest Accumulation Account, Target Amortization Principal Accumulation Account and the Series Reserve Account for each Series, the amounts required to be deposited therein for such Limited Funding Date in order for the Funding Conditions to be satisfied on such date.
96

(e) to be retained in the Collection and Funding Account, the aggregate New Receivables Funding Amount for any Facility Eligible Receivables to be funded on such Interim Payment Date (without duplicating any portion of such New Receivables Funding Amount to be paid using the proceeds of a borrowing on any Class of VFN) and the aggregate Excess Receivables Funding Amount to be funded on such Interim Payment Date; provided that no New Receivables Funding Amounts will be released to fund new Receivables and no Excess Receivables Funding Amounts will be released under this clause (e) unless the Funding Conditions have been met;
97
(f) prior to the Full Amortization Period, to pay down the VFN Principal Balance of each Outstanding Class of VFNs, the amount necessary to satisfy the Collateral Test after giving effect to the allocations, payments and distributions in clauses (a) through (e) above;

Section 4.5. Payment Dates.
(a) On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall transfer all funds on deposit in the Collection and Funding Account, the Interest Accumulation Account, the Fee Accumulation Account and the Target Amortization Principal Accumulation Account for such Payment Date to the Note Payment Account. On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall apply such Available Funds or Series Available Funds, as applicable, (and other amounts as specifically noted in clause (a)(1)(v) below) in the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date (provided that amounts on deposit in the Target Amortization Principal Accumulation Account may only be used to pay the Target Amortization Amounts of the Classes for which the related Indenture Supplement provides that there will be intra-month reservation of Target Amortization Principal Accumulation Amounts (pro rata based on their respective Target Amortization Principal Accumulation Amounts)):
(1) Prior to commencement of the Full Amortization Period, the Available Funds shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

Section 4.6. Series Reserve Account.
(a) Pursuant to Section 4.1, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain a Series Reserve Account or Accounts for each Series, each of which shall be an Eligible Account, for the benefit of the Secured Parties of such Series. If any such 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 thirty (30) days. On or prior to the Issuance Date for each Series, the Issuer shall cause an amount equal to the related Series Reserve Required Amount(s) to be deposited into the related Series Reserve Account(s). Thereafter, on each Payment Date and Interim Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw Available Funds from the Note Payment Account and deposit them into each such Series Reserve Account pursuant to, and to the extent required by, Section 4.5(a) and the related Indenture Supplement.
104
(b) On each Payment Date, an amount equal to the aggregate of amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.5(a)(1) or clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) (A) through (C) of Section 4.5(a)(2) allocable to the related Series, as appropriate, and which is not payable out of Available Funds or the related Series Available Funds, as applicable, due to an insufficiency of Available Funds or Series Available Funds, as applicable, shall be withdrawn from such Series Reserve Account by the Indenture Trustee and remitted to the Note Payment Account for payment in respect of the related Class' allocable share of such items as described in Section 4.5(a) or the related Indenture Supplement. On any Payment Date on which amounts are withdrawn from such Series Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.5(a), no funds shall be withdrawn from the Collection and Funding Account (or from the Note Payment Account for deposit into the Collection and Funding Account) to pay New Receivables Funding Amounts or amounts to the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.3 if, after giving effect to the withdrawals described in the preceding sentences, the amount then standing to the credit of such Series Reserve Account is less than the related Series Reserve Required Amount. All Collections received in the Collection and Funding Account shall be deposited into the related Series Reserve Accounts until the amount on deposit in each Series Reserve Account equals the related Series Reserve Required Amount, as described in Section 4.5 and the related Indenture Supplement. For purposes of the foregoing the portion of any such fees and expenses payable under clause (i) or (ii) shall equal the related Series Allocation Percentage of the amounts payable under such clause.
(c) If on any Payment Date the amount on deposit in a Series Reserve Account is equal to or greater than the aggregate Note Balance for the related Series (after payment on such Payment Date of the amounts described in Section 4.5) the Indenture Trustee will withdraw from such Series Reserve Account the aggregate Note Balance for such Series and remit it to the Noteholders of the Notes of such Series in reduction of the aggregate Note Balance for all Classes of Notes of such Series that are Outstanding. On the Stated Maturity Date for the latest maturing Class in a Series, the balance on deposit in the related Series Reserve Account shall be applied as a principal payment on the Notes of that Series to the extent necessary to reduce the aggregate Note Balance for that Series to zero. On any Payment Date after payment of principal on the Notes and when no Event of Default has occurred, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from each Series Reserve Account the amount by which the balance of the Series Reserve Account exceeds the related Series Reserve Required Amount and pay such amount to the Depositor as holder of the Owner Trust Certificate.
(d) Amounts held in a Series Reserve Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments at the direction of the Administrator as provided in Section 4.1.
(e) On any Payment Date, after payment of all amounts pursuant to Section 4.5(a), if the Collateral Test is not satisfied, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from each Series Reserve Account the amount by which the amount standing to the credit of such Series Reserve Account exceeds the related Series Reserve Required Amount, and shall apply such excess to reduce the Note Balances of the Notes of the related Series, pursuant to Section 4.5. Such principal payments shall be made pro rata based on Note Balances to multiple Classes within a Series, except that in a Full Amortization Period such principal payment shall be made in accordance with the terms and provisions of the related Indenture Supplement. On any Payment Date following the payment in full of all principal payable in respect of the related Series or Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw any remaining amounts from the related Series Reserve Account and distribute it to the Depositor as holder of the Owner Trust Certificate. Amounts paid to the Depositor or its designee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be released from the Security Interest.
105
(f) If on any Funding Date, the amount on deposit in one or more Series Reserve Accounts is less than the related Series Reserve Required Amounts, then the Administrator may direct the Indenture Trustee to transfer from the Collection and Funding Account to such Series Reserve Accounts an amount equal to the amount by which the respective Series Reserve Required Amounts exceed the respective amounts then on deposit in the related Series Reserve Accounts.
(g) For the avoidance of doubt, any funds on deposit in any Series Reserve Account or any Derivative Account are to be applied to make any required payments in respect of the related Series or Class of Notes only, and no other Series or Class of Notes shall have any interest or claim against such amounts on deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Series or Class of Notes is deemed to have an interest or claim on the funds on deposit in the Series Reserve Account or the Derivative Account established for another Series, it shall not receive any amounts on deposit in such Series Reserve Account or Derivative Account unless and until the Series or Class of Notes related to such Series Reserve Account or Derivative Account are paid in full and are no longer Outstanding.

The Indenture Trustee shall deposit and withdraw Available Funds from a Sinking Fund Account pursuant to, and to the extent required by, Section 4.5. During the Full Amortization Period all amounts on deposit in the Sinking Fund Accounts with respect to Sinking Fund Classes will be available for the benefit of all Outstanding Notes in accordance with the definition of “Series Available Funds”.

Upon the termination of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall inform the Securities Intermediary of such termination. By acceptance of their Notes or interests therein, the Noteholders and all beneficial owners of Notes shall be deemed to have appointed Deutsche Bank, as Securities Intermediary. Deutsche Bank hereby accepts such appointment as Securities Intermediary.

(A) with respect to any portion of the Trust Estate that is held in deposit accounts, each such deposit account shall be subject to the security interest granted pursuant to this Indenture, and the Securities Intermediary shall comply with instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing dispositions of funds in the deposit accounts without further consent of the Issuer and otherwise shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Securities Intermediary, and the Securities Intermediary shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(C) any portion of the Trust Estate that is, or is treated as, a Financial Asset shall be physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or other eligible institution maintaining any Trust Account in accordance with the Securities Intermediary’s customary procedures such that the Securities Intermediary or such other institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto over which the Securities Intermediary or such other institution has “control” (as defined in the UCC); and
(D) it will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer if any other Person claims that it has a property interest in a Financial Asset in any Trust Account and that it is a violation of that Person’s rights for anyone else to hold, transfer or deal with such Financial Asset.
108
(ii) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (A) each Trust Account is an account to which Financial Assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture treat the Indenture Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to any Trust Account, (B) any portion of the Trust Estate in respect of any Trust Account will be promptly credited by the Securities Intermediary to such account, and (C) all securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Trust Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any Trust Account be registered in the name of the Issuer or the Administrator, payable to the order of the Issuer or the Administrator or specially endorsed to any of such Persons.

If at any time the Indenture Trustee notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that this Indenture has been discharged in accordance herewith, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Indenture Trustee or any other Person.
(iv) In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Account or any Financial Asset or Security Entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee. The Financial Assets and Security Entitlements credited to the Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee in the case of the Trust Accounts.
(v) There are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary in such capacity, and the Securities Intermediary agrees that it will not enter into any agreement with, the Issuer, the Administrator, or any other Person (other than the Indenture Trustee) with respect to any Trust Account. In the event of any conflict between this Indenture (or any provision of this Indenture) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Indenture shall prevail.
(vi) The rights and powers granted herein to the Indenture Trustee have been granted in order to perfect its interest in the Trust Accounts and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and are powers coupled with an interest and will not be affected by the bankruptcy of the Issuer, the Administrator or the Receivables Seller nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Accounts and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Indenture Trustee has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing.

The Securities Intermediary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, on its face, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Securities Intermediary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of such document.
(d) Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Securities Intermediary. The Securities Intermediary represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the Securities Intermediary has a physical office in the United States and is engaged in a business or other regular activity of maintaining securities accounts. The Securities Intermediary agrees that, at such time as this Indenture is amended, it shall notify the parties if it no longer maintains a physical office in the United States and is no longer engaged in a business or other regular activity of maintaining securities accounts.
Section 4.10. Notice of Adverse Claims.
Except for the claims and interests of the Secured Parties in the Trust Accounts, the Securities Intermediary has no actual knowledge of any claim to, or interest in, any Trust Account or in any financial asset credited thereto. If any Person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Trust Account or in any financial asset carried therein of which a Responsible Officer of the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer thereof.

Section 4.11. No Gross Up.
No Person, including the Issuer, shall be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Noteholders or Note Owners as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges. In addition, the Indenture Trustee will withhold on payments of Undrawn Fees to Non-U.S. Noteholders unless such Noteholder provides a correct, complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation on U.S. source Undrawn Fees and such Non-U.S. Noteholder provides a correct, complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E. The Indenture Trustee may rely on such U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E to evidence the Noteholders’ eligibility.
Section 4.12. Full Amortization Period; Target Amortization Events.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Revolving Period or Target Amortization Period for all Classes and Series of the Notes shall automatically terminate and the Full Amortization Period for all Outstanding Notes shall commence without further action on the part of any Person, unless, together, the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes that are not Variable Funding Notes and the Series Required Noteholders for each Series of Variable Funding Notes that are Outstanding, plus the Administrative Agent, notify the Indenture Trustee that they have waived the occurrence of such Event of Default and consent to the continuation of the Revolving Period or Target Amortization Period, as the case may be, for each Outstanding Series that is still in its Revolving Period or Target Amortization Period; provided, however, an Event of Default under clause 8.1(c), (g)(i) or (k) shall not occur and the Full Amortization Period shall not commence until the earlier of: (A) (I) in the case of clause (k), the 60th day from the delivery of a report from the Administrator or the Servicer demonstrating non-compliance with the Collateral Test (in any case, so long as the Collateral Test remains out of compliance on such 60th day), (II) in the case of clause (c), the 60th day following the occurrence thereof (in any case, so long as such Event of Default remains continuing on such 60th day) or (III) in the case of clause (g)(i), the 30th day following the occurrence thereof (in any case, so long as such Event of Default remains continuing on such 30th day), and (B) the day on which any of the Administrative Agent, the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes that are not Variable Funding Notes or the Series Required Noteholders for any Series of Variable Funding Notes that are Outstanding have provided notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee stating that, because of such event, the Full Amortization Period shall commence. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of the Issuer to pay or reserve any Default Supplemental Fee or Cumulative Default Supplemental Fee Shortfall Amounts shall begin only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and commencement of the Full Amortization Period as described in Section 4.12.
111
Upon the occurrence of a Target Amortization Event with respect to a Class or Series, unless otherwise provided in the Indenture Supplement, the related Target Amortization Period shall be deemed to commence when the Administrator or the Administrative Agent has provided written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee stating that the Notes of such Class or Series shall enter their Target Amortization Periods and as a result shall be paid principal in Target Amortization Amounts under Section 4.5(a)(1)(v) on subsequent Payment Dates, unless the requisite parties pursuant to the Indenture Supplement related to that Series notify the Indenture Trustee that they have waived the occurrence of such Target Amortization Event and consent to the continuation of the Revolving Periods (in the case of any Notes still in their Revolving Periods prior to the occurrence of such Target Amortization Event); provided that no Series of VFNs may continue its Revolving Period unless all outstanding Series of VFNs consent to continuation of their Revolving Periods; provided further that if a Target Amortization Event occurs under a Series of Variable Funding Notes and is also a Target Amortization Event under a Series of Term Notes that can become effective upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee from the Administrative Agent, and if such Administrative Agent does not waive the corresponding Target Amortization Event under such Series of Variable Funding Notes, it shall send written notice to the Indenture Trustee to commence any related Target Amortization Event under such Series of Term Notes; provided further that if the Administrative Agent waives a Target Amortization Event under a Series of Variable Funding Notes, it will take no action with respect to the related Target Amortization Event under any Series of Term Notes that contain a similar Target Amortization Event that requires affirmative action to commence, and any such Target Amortization Event will only commence upon an affirmative vote of the Series Required Noteholders for such Series of Term Notes. The Administrator shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agent immediately upon its becoming aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Target Amortization Event (including notice of an event described in the definition of Target Amortization Event that only occurs upon an affirmative vote of either the Administrative Agent or the Series Required Noteholders). The Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Indenture Trustee and each Derivative Counterparty (as applicable in the case of any Target Amortization Event, with respect to the related Series of Notes) promptly upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Target Amortization Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation for the Issuer to pay or reserve any Default Supplemental Fee or Cumulative Default Supplemental Fee Shortfall Amounts shall begin only upon the commencement of the Full Amortization Period as described in Section 4.12.
