Each Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall purchase its Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage of the Series 2000-1 Purchaser Percentage of the PARCO Interest by depositing its Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage of the Series 2000-1 Purchase Price in immediately available funds into the account(s) specified by the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser in the Sale Notice no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the same date as the date of such notice. If the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser delivers the Sale Notice to the Funding Agent after 12:30 p.m. New York City time, on any Business Day or the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser delivers the Sale Notice to the Funding Agent specifying that the related Series 2000-1 Purchase Date shall be a date other than the date of the Sale Notice, the Funding Agent shall promptly advise (by telecopy or by telephone call promptly confirmed in writing by telecopy) each Series 2000-1 APA Bank of the receipt and content of the Sale Notice. Notwithstanding the fact that the Series 2000-1 Purchase Date may occur on a date which is later than the date on which the Sale Notice is delivered to the Funding Agent, the several obligation of each Series 2000-1 APA Bank to make such purchase and to make payment of the amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to subsection 2.06(a) shall arise ------------------ immediately upon receipt by the Funding Agent of the Sale Notice. Upon payment of the Series 2000-1 Purchase Price as provided herein and delivery to the Trustee by the Funding Agent of the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser's Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate, the Trustee shall sign, on behalf of the Trust and without incurring any personal liability in respect of the Investor Certificates, and shall, upon the written direction of the Master Servicer, duly authenticate a new Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate in the name of the Funding Agent, with each Series 2000-1 APA Bank's Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate Interest equal to such Series 2000-1 APA Bank's Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage and in the name of the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser in a denomination equal to the Series 2000-1 Maximum Invested Amount minus the aggregate amount of the ----- Series 2000-1 APA Banks' Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate Interests, as set forth in such written direction and shall deliver such Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate to the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser, if applicable, in accordance with such written direction. (c) If, by 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on any Series 2000-1 Purchase Date, one or more Series 2000-1 APA Banks (each, a "Series 2000-1 ------------- Defaulting APA Bank", and each Series 2000-1 APA Bank other than the Series - ------------------- 2000-1 Defaulting 12 APA Bank being referred to as a "Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Bank") fails ------------------------------------- to make its Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage of the Series 2000-1 Purchase Price available to the Funding Agent pursuant to subsection 2.06(b) (the ------------------ aggregate amount not so made available to the Funding Agent being herein call the "Series 2000-1 Purchase Price Deficit"), then the Funding Agent shall, by no ------------------------------------ later than 3:30 p.m. New York City time, on such Series 2000-1 Purchase Date, instruct each Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Bank to pay, by no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on such Series 2000-1 Purchase Date, in immediately available funds, to the account designated by the Funding Agent, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Banks' proportionate share (based upon the relative Series 2000-1 Commitments of the Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Banks) of the Series 2000-1 Purchase Price Deficit and (y) such Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Bank's unused Series 2000-1 Commitment. A Series 2000-1 Defaulting APA Bank shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the Funding Agent for the ratable benefit of the Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Banks all amounts paid by each Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Bank on behalf of such Series 2000-1 Defaulting APA Bank, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by a Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Bank until the date such Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Bank has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 2%. In addition, without prejudice to any other rights that ---- the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser may have under applicable law, each Series 2000-1 Defaulting APA Bank shall pay to the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser forthwith upon demand, the difference between the Series 2000-1 Defaulting APA Bank's Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage of the Series 2000-1 Purchase Price and the amount paid with respect thereto by the Series 2000-1 Non-Defaulting APA Banks, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of the Funding Agent's request for such Series 2000-1 Defaulting APA Bank's Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage of the Series 2000-1 Purchase Price pursuant to subsection ---------- 2.06(b) until the date the requisite amount is paid to the Series 2000-1 Initial - ------- Purchaser in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 2%. ---- (d) The transfer by the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser of all or a portion of its rights in the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be without recourse or warranty, express or implied, except - ------------ that the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser represents that such Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate is free and clear of adverse claims created by or arising as a result of claims against the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser. By executing and delivering a Sale Notice pursuant to subsection 2.06(a), (i) the Series 2000-1 ------------------ Initial Purchaser makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate, or any other agreement, instrument or other document furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, including without limitation any Transaction Document, and (ii) the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Trust, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Originator, the Company or any Obligor (collectively, the "Transaction Parties") or the Funding Agent, or the performance or observance by ------------------- the 13 Transaction Parties of any of their respective obligations under the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate or the Transaction Documents. (e) If on the related Series 2000-1 Purchase Date, there is a Series 2000-1 Loss Amount, then, in such event, each Series 2000-1 APA Bank agrees that the Funding Agent, for the benefit of the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser, shall immediately remit to the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser the Series 2000-1 Reduction Percentage of any amounts received by the Funding Agent with respect to the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate; provided, however, that such -------- ------- amounts shall be remitted to the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser only after the APA Bank Aggregate Invested Amount is zero. SECTION 2.07. Procedure for Decreasing the Series 2000-1 Invested --------------------------------------------------- Amount. - ------ (a) Subject to Section 7.04, on any Business Day during the ------------ Series 2000-1 Revolving Period or the Series 2000-1 Amortization Period (except for Distribution Dates during the Series 2000-1 Amortization Period (which shall be governed by subsection 3A.06(c)), upon the written request of the Master ------------------- Servicer on behalf of the Trust, the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount may be reduced (a "Series 2000-1 Decrease") by the distribution by the Trustee to the ---------------------- Funding Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in -------- accordance with their Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount of the funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Principal Concentration Subaccount on such day in an amount not to exceed the amount of such funds on deposit on such day; provided that the Master Servicer shall have given the Funding Agent and the - -------- Trustee irrevocable written notice (effective upon receipt), prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time, (i) on the second Business Day prior to such Series 2000-1 Decrease, in the case of any Series 2000-1 Decrease occurring prior to a Series 2000-1 Purchase Date and (ii) (A) if the Series 2000-1 Decrease relates solely to a Series 2000-1 Floating Tranche, on the Business Day of such Series 2000-1 Decrease or (B) if all or any portion of the Series 2000-1 Decrease relates to a Series 2000-1 Eurodollar Tranche, on the Business Day that is three Business Days prior to such Series 2000-1 Decrease, and which notice shall state the amount of such Series 2000-1 Decrease; provided, further, that such Series -------- ------- 2000-1 Decrease shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or if the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount is less than $1,000,000 then such Series 2000-1 Decrease shall equal the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount, and; provided, further, however, that no prepayment of any -------- ------- ------- Series 2000-1 Eurodollar Tranche prior to the termination of a Series 2000-1 Eurodollar Period may occur unless, concurrently with such prepayment, the Company shall have paid to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers any amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 7.04. ------------ (b) Simultaneously with any such Series 2000-1 Decrease during the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period, the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Amount shall be reduced by an amount (the "Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest ----------------------------------- Reduction Amount") such that the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interests Amount - ---------------- shall equal the Series 2000-1 Required Subordinated Amount after giving effect to such Series 2000-1 Decrease. During the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period, after the distribution 14 described in subsection (a) above has been made, and the Series 2000-1 -------------- Subordinated Interest Amount shall have been reduced by the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Reduction Amount, a distribution shall be made to the holder of the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest out of remaining funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Principal Concentration Subaccount in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Reduction Amount and (y) the amount of such remaining funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Principal Concentration Subaccount. (c) Notwithstanding Section 2.07(a) hereof, on or prior to the --------------- maturity date of any (i) Series 2000-1 Eurodollar Tranche; (ii) Series 2000-1 Floating Tranche; (iii) Series 2000-1 CP Tranche; the Series 2000-1 Purchasers may, at their option, send written directions to the Trustee and Master Servicer requesting a decrease, in whole or in part, of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount. On the maturity of the relevant tranches, the Trustee shall distribute to the Funding Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Series 2000-1 Purchasers --- ---- in accordance with their Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount of the funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Principal Concentration Subaccount on such day in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of such funds on deposit in such subaccount; and (ii) the decrease in the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount requested by the Series 2000-1 Purchasers plus all interest and fees payable ---- with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise of such option by the Series 2000-1 Purchasers shall not result in a reduction of the commitment of the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser or any of the Series 2000-1 APA Banks pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof, provided, however, that if proceeds -------- ------- are received with respect to the issuance of another series of investor certificates, the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount will be reduced by the amount of such proceeds from such issuance. To the extent the Series 2000-1 Floating Tranche, the Series 2000-1 CP Tranche or the Series 2000-1 Euro Tranche has not been fully reduced the respective Series 2000-1 Purchaser shall continue to have the benefit of the security interests created hereunder. If the Series 2000-1 Purchasers exercise their rights hereunder all Series 2000-1 Purchasers shall be paid on a pro rata basis, to the extent of such decrease, from funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Principal Concentration Subaccounts. (d) On or after the occurrence of a PARCO Termination Event or a Series 2000-1 Purchase Date, any reduction in the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount on any Business Day shall be allocated (i) first, to reduce pro rata the portion of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount allocated to Series 2000-1 CP Tranches and the Series 2000-1 Unallocated Balance and (ii) second, to reduce the portion of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount allocated to Series 2000-1 Eurodollar Tranches, if any, in such order as the Master Servicer and the Company may select in order to minimize costs pursuant to Section 7.04. ------------ SECTION 2.08. Reductions of the Series 2000-1 Commitments. ------------------------------------------- (a) On any Distribution Date during the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust may, upon three Business Days prior written notice (effective upon receipt) (with copies to the Master Servicer and the Trustee), reduce or terminate the Series 2000-1 Commitments (a "Series 2000-1 ------------- 15 Commitment Reduction") such that in the case of a reduction, the Series 2000-1 - -------------------- Aggregate Commitment Amount may only be reduced in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and in the case of a termination, the Series 2000-1 Aggregate Commitment Amount and the Series 2000-1 Commitments shall each be terminated in their entirety; provided that no such -------- reduction or termination, as the case may be, shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any reduction in the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount (calculated without regard to clauses (d) and (e) of the definition of Series ----------- --- 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount) on such date, the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount would exceed the Series 2000-1 Aggregate Commitment Amount then in effect. Each Series 2000-1 APA Bank's Series 2000-1 Commitment shall be reduced pro rata by such Series 2000-1 APA Bank's Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Series 2000-1 Commitment Reduction. (b) If a Series 2000-1 Early Amortization Period has commenced, the Series 2000-1 Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be reduced to 102% of the Series 2000-1 Maximum Invested Amount, from time to time, and the Series 2000-1 Maximum Invested Amount shall be reduced to the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount. Each Series 2000-1 APA Bank's Series 2000-1 Commitment shall be reduced by such Series 2000-1 APA Bank's Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage of the amount of such reduction. (c) Once reduced, the portion of the Series 2000-1 Aggregate Commitment Amount so reduced may not be subsequently reinstated. Upon effectiveness of any such reduction, the Funding Agent shall prepare a revised Schedule I of this Supplement to reflect the reduced Series 2000-1 Commitment of each Series 2000-1 APA Bank and Schedule I of this Supplement shall be deemed to be automatically superseded by such revised Schedule I. The Funding Agent shall distribute such revised Schedule I to the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each Series 2000-1 APA Bank. Concurrently therewith, the Funding Agent shall distribute a revised Annex I to the Series 2000-1 Asset Purchase Agreement to the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each Series 2000- 1 APA Bank. SECTION 2.09. Interest; Fees. -------------- (a) Amounts in respect of interest shall be payable on the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate on each Distribution Date pursuant to subsection ---------- 3A.06(a). - -------- (b) Prior to the Series 2000-1 Amortization Period, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers shall be entitled to receive a fee with respect to each Accrual Period (or portion thereof) during the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period (the "Series 2000-1 Unused Fee") which shall accrue on each day during such ------------------------ Accrual Period in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Series 2000-1 Unused Fee Rate, times (ii) the excess of the Series 2000-1 Aggregate Commitment Amount ----- on such day over the Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount on such day. The Series 2000-1 Unused Fee shall be payable on a pro rata basis to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers if the Series 2000-1 APA Banks have funded, as part of the Series 2000-1 Monthly Interest on each Distribution Date during 16 the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period. The Trustee shall not be liable for the payment of the Series 2000-1 Unused Fee from its own funds. (c) Prior to the occurrence of a PARCO Termination Event, the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a fee with respect to each Accrual Period (or portion thereof) during such period (the "Series ------ 2000-1 Utilization Fee") which shall accrue on each day during such Accrual - ---------------------- Period in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee Rate, times (ii) the Series 2000-1 Initial Purchaser Invested Amount on such ----- day. The Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee shall be payable as part of the Series 2000-1 Monthly Interest on each Distribution Date prior to the occurrence of a PARCO Termination Event. The Trustee shall not be liable for the payment of the Series 2000-1 Utilization Fee from its own funds. (d) Calculations of per annum rates under this Supplement shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year with respect to interest rates except with respect to interest rates based on ABR, which shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 day year. Each determination of Eurodollar Rate by the Funding Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error. SECTION 2.10. Indemnification by the Contributor and the Company. -------------------------------------------------- (a) Without limiting any other rights that the Funding Agent, PARCO or the Series 2000-1 APA Banks may have under this Supplement, the Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or under applicable law, each of the Contributor and the Company hereby agree to indemnify PARCO, the Series 2000-1 APA Banks and the Funding Agent and any of their respective agents, officers, directors, employees, and agents (each a "Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party" and ------------------------------- collectively, the "Series 2000-1 Indemnified Parties") from and against any and --------------------------------- all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs, penalties, judgments and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as "Series 2000-1 Indemnified ------------------------- Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them in connection with the - ------- entering into and performance of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents by any of the Series 2000-1 Indemnified Parties, excluding, however, any amounts that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party. (b) In case any proceeding by any Person shall be instituted involving any Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Article II, such Series 2000-1 ------------- ---------- Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Contributor and the Company and the Company and the Contributor, upon request of the Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel satisfactory to the Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party to represent the Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the Contributor and the Company. Except as set forth herein, it is understood that neither the Company nor the 17 Master Servicer shall, in respect of the legal expenses of any Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Series 2000-1 Indemnified Parties and all other parties indemnified by the Company under the Series Supplement, the Series 2000-1 Asset Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Trustee.

Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Funding Agent, no further Series 2000-1 Eurodollar Tranches shall be made.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, no transfer or assignment of any interests or obligations of any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would result in a prohibited transaction under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 406 of ERISA or cause the Participation Assets to be regarded as "plan assets" pursuant ----------- to 29 C.F.R. (S) 2510.3-101, or require the Company or an Originator to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to qualify under the "blue sky" laws of any state. -------- (j) No provision of the Transaction Documents shall in any manner restrict the ability of PARCO to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any portion of its Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount.

Each Series 2000-1 Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Funding Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Series 2000-1 Purchaser; provided that the failure to give such notice -------- shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. SECTION 11.13. Limitation of Payments by the Company. The Company's ------------------------------------- obligations under Article VII shall be limited to the funds available to the ----------- Company which have been properly distributed to the Company pursuant to the Agreement and any Supplement and neither the Funding Agent nor any Series 2000-1 Purchaser shall have any actionable claim against the Company for failure to satisfy such obligation because it does not have funds available therefor from amounts properly distributed.

Subordinated Loan. ----------------- (a) If the Company elects to deliver U.S. Dollars to cure an Early Amortization Event pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof, such cash contribution ------------ shall be evidenced as a Subordinated Loan, will constitute a Junior Claim and will be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.16. Irrespective of the ------------- time, order or method of payment and irrespective of anything else contained in this or any other document or agreement other than in this Section 11.16, so ------------- long as any VFC Certificate remains outstanding, the Company agrees that any and all Junior Claims are and shall be expressly subordinate and junior to the Senior Claims in right and time of payment. Each Junior Claimant by acceptance thereof waives any and all notice of the creation or accrual of any such Senior Claim and notice of proof of reliance upon these subordination provisions by any holder of any Senior Claim. Any such Senior Claim shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon these subordination provisions and all dealings between the Company and any holders of any such Senior Claims (including the Company as an ECI Holder) so arising shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon these subordination provisions. The provisions of this Section 11.16 are and are intended to be ------------- solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Junior Claimants, on the one hand, and the holders of any Senior Claims, on the other hand. (b) In the event of any Insolvency Event: (i) all Senior Claims shall first be Indefeasibly Paid, or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner satisfactory to all of the holders of Senior Claims, before any payment or 63 distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Junior Claimant on account of such Junior Claim; and (ii) any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property that would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable with respect to any Junior Claim shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Claims (or to a banking institution selected by the court or other Person making the payment or delivery or designated by any holder of any Senior Claim) for application in payment of the Senior Claims in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Claims shall have been Indefeasibly Paid, or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner satisfactory to all of the holders of Senior Claims. As used in this Section 11.16, the term "Indefeasibly Paid" means, with ------------- ----------------- respect to the making of any payment on or with respect to any Senior Claim, a payment of such Senior Claim in full that is not subject to avoidance under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code. (c) Turnover of Improper Payments. If any payment or ----------------------------- distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property shall be received by any Junior Claimant in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all the Senior Claims shall have been Indefeasibly Paid or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner satisfactory to all of the holders of Senior Claims, such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Claims at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Claims remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Claims in full. In the event of the failure of any Junior Claimant to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, the Funding Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same. (d) No Prejudice or Impairment. The rights under these -------------------------- subordination provisions of the holders of any Senior Claims as against any Junior Claimant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by (i) any act or failure to act on the part of the Company; or (ii) any extension or indulgence with respect to any payment or prepayment of any Senior Claim or any part thereof or with respect to any other amount payable to any holder of any Senior Claim; or (iii) any amendment, modification or waiver of, or addition or supplement to, or deletion from, or compromise, release, consent or other action with respect to, any of the terms of any Senior Claim, the Agreement, this Supplement or any other agreement that may be made relating to any Senior Claim; or (iv) any exercise or non-exercise by the holder of any Senior Claim of any right, power, privilege or remedy under or with respect to such Senior Claim, the Agreement, this Supplement or any waiver of any such right, power, privilege or remedy 64 or of any default with respect to such Senior Claim, the Agreement or this Supplement, or any receipt by the holder of any Senior Claim of any security, or any failure by such holders to perfect a security interest in, or any release by such holder of, any security for the payment of such Senior Claim; or (v) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries into or with any other Person, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any other Person; or (vi) absence of any notice to, or knowledge by, any Junior Claimant of the existence or occurrence of any of the matters or events set forth in the foregoing subdivisions (i) through (v); or (vii) any other circumstance. The terms and conditions of this Section 11.16 shall not be modified or amended without the ------------- express written consent of the Certificateholders of at least 50% of the Invested Amount of each Outstanding Series of VFC Certificates and, if any such amendment would adversely affect the interests of an ECI Holder, without the written consent of the ECI Holder or Holders. (e) The obligations of the Junior Claimants under these subordination provisions shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment with respect to any Senior Claim, or any other payment to any holder of any Senior Claim in its capacity as such, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the holder of such Senior Claim upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any substantial part of property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. (f) No Junior Claimant shall have any subrogation or other rights as the holder of a Senior Claim, and each Junior Claimant hereby waives all such rights of subrogation and all rights of reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever and all rights of recourse to any security for any Senior Claim, until such time as all the Senior Claims shall be Indefeasibly Paid or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner satisfactory to all of the holders of Senior Claims and all of the obligations of the Company under the Senior Claims, the Agreement and this Supplement shall have been duly performed. From and after the time at which all Senior Claims have been Indefeasibly Paid or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner satisfactory to all of the holders of Senior Claims, the Junior Claimants shall be subrogated to all rights of any holders of Senior Claims to receive any further payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Claims until the Junior Claims shall have been paid in full or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner satisfactory to the majority in amount of the Junior Claimants, and for the purposes of such subrogation, no payment or distribution received by the holders of Senior Claims of cash, securities or other property to which the Junior Claimants would have been entitled except for these subordination provisions shall, as between the Company and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Claims, on the one hand, and the Junior Claimants, on the other, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Claims. (g) Each Certificate or other instrumentality evidencing any Junior Claim shall contain the following legend conspicuously noted on the face thereof: "THIS [NAME OF INSTRUMENT] IS SUBJECT TO THE SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------- SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.16 OF THE SERIES 2000-1 - ----------------------------------------------- 65 SUPPLEMENT AMONG HUNTSMAN RECEIVABLES FINANCE LLC, HUNTSMAN (EUROPE) BVBA, AS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MASTER SERVICER, PARCO, THE SEVERAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS PARTY THERETO FROM - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIME TO TIME AS SERIES 2000-1 APA BANKS AND THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, AS FUNDING - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENT AND TRUSTEE, DATED AS OF DECEMBER 21, 2000" and shall specifically state - ------------------------------------------------ that a copy of these subordination provisions (to the extent not expressly stated in such instrument) is on file with the Company and is available for inspection at the Company's offices.
