DESCRIPTION OF THE SENIOR FACILITY<br />
This description of the Senior Facility does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in<br />
its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The definitions of certain capitalized terms can<br />
be found in the "Description of the Notes," Appendix A and Appendix B, and an index of defined terms appears at<br />
the back of this Offering Circular. Certain other terms used but not defined herein have the meanings specified in<br />
the Credit Agreement. When reference is made herein to particular provisions of, or terms used in, the Credit<br />
Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein, such reference is to the actual document, copies of which<br />
are available from the Issuer. Under the Indenture, without the consent of the Noteholders or the Trustee, the Issuer<br />
may, subject to certain limitations, amend, restate, supplement, modify, refinance, refund or replace the Credit<br />
Agreement described herein. For purposes of the security, subordination and other provisions of the Indenture, the<br />
holder of any indebtedness which refinances, refunds or replaces the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will<br />
have the same rights as the holders of indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.<br />
Commitment<br />
Under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders will commit to lend up to the Total Maximum Commitment from<br />
time to time. The obligations of the Lenders to fund the initial borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject<br />
to: (i) the Issuer entering into the Indenture; (ii) the issuance by the Issuer of $8.6 million aggregate principal<br />
amount of Class B Notes; (iii) the issuance by the Issuer of $9.9 million aggregate principal amount of Class C<br />
Notes; (iv) the issuance by the Issuer of $16.4 million aggregate principal amount of Class D Notes; (v) the issuance<br />
by the Issuer of $5.3 million aggregate principal amount of Class E Notes; (vi) the issuance by the Issuer of $51.9<br />
million aggregate principal amount of the Income Notes; and (vii) the receipt of ratings of "AAA" by S&P and<br />
"Aaa" by Moody's, respectively, for the Senior Facility; and (ix) certain other conditions.<br />
The obligations of the Lenders to make any loan under the Senior Facility are subject to the following<br />
conditions, among others: (i) all representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement and the Collateral<br />
Documents remaining true and correct in all material respects; (ii) no default under the Credit Agreement existing or<br />
resulting from such loan; and (iii) immediately after giving effect to such loan, the aggregate amount of advances<br />
outstanding under the Senior Facility not exceeding the lesser of (x) the Total Maximum Commitment at such time<br />
and (y) the Senior Advance Amount.<br />
Multi-Currency Facility. The Credit Agreement will permit the Issuer to borrow up to $65,130,000 in<br />
selected foreign currencies, including British Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars and the Euro (or other currency<br />
issued by the European Monetary Union). The terms of such foreign currency borrowings will be substantially<br />
consistent with the provisions of the Senior Facility applicable to borrowings denominated in the U.S. dollar.<br />
Conduit Participation. Commercial paper conduits participating in the Senior Facility will be offered two<br />
options for structuring such participation: (i) a committed line to the Issuer similar to that which will be provided by<br />
each non-conduit Lender or (ii) an uncommitted line to the Issuer that is supported by a 364 day committed<br />
revolving liquidity facility or loan purchase agreement from one or more Lenders. In connection with the second<br />
option, in the event that the back-up commitments are not extended upon expiration, the back-up commitments will<br />
be drawn in full with the proceeds being available to fund subsequent borrowings by the Issuer under the Senior<br />
Facility.<br />
Maturity<br />
The commitment under the Credit Agreement will expire on August 12, 2016, subject to certain conditions<br />
set forth therein. All outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement must be repaid on or prior to such date.<br />
Prepayments<br />
Optional prepayments under the Credit Agreement will be permitted at any time, without premium (other<br />
than funding breakage costs) in whole or in part; provided, that, among other conditions, (i) each voluntary<br />
prepayment must be in a minimum of $1 million and integral multiples thereof and (ii) no optional prepayment of a<br />
