Floating Tranche; or
(C) on the Business Day that is

and
(iii) no Series 2000-1

termination of the applicable Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Period may occur
unless, concurrently with such Series 2000-1 Decrease, the Company shall have
paid to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers any amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 7.04.
Each distribution pursuant to
this Section 2.07(a) shall be made by the
Trustee distributing to each Funding Agent the amount of such Series 2000-1
Decrease allocable to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in such Funding Agents VFC

Subordinated Interest Amount shall be reduced by an amount (the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest Reduction Amount) such
that the Series 2000-1 Subordinated Interest 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 described in Section 2.07(a)
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, in accordance with Section 3A.03(b),

notice to the Trustee and Master Servicer, elect to decrease, in whole or in
part, the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount on the applicable maturity date in the
amount specified in such notice. In
accordance with any such notice, on the
16
maturity of the relevant tranches, the Trustee shall
distribute, in accordance with Section 3A.03(b),

Purchasers (determined based on the amount their Series 2000-1 Purchaser U.S.

funds on deposit in the Series 2000-1 Principal Concentration Subaccounts on

aggregate funds on deposit in such subaccounts; and (ii) the decrease in the Series
2000-1 Invested Amount requested by the Funding Agents, 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 respective commitments of the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers or the
commitments of any of the Series 2000-1 APA Banks pursuant to Section 2.08. If the Series
2000-1 Purchasers exercise their rights hereunder, so long as the Series 2000-1
Commitments are outstanding and any amount hereunder remains payable to any Series
2000-1 Purchaser, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers shall continue to have the
benefit of the security interests created hereunder. Each distribution pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be made by the Trustee distributing to
each Funding Agent the amount of such reduction (plus interest and fees payable
with respect thereto) allocable to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in such Funding
Agents VFC Purchaser Group.
(d) Subject to Section 2.07(e), any reduction in the Series 2000-1 Invested
Amount with respect to a VFC Purchaser Group on any Business Day shall be
allocated in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to reduce pro rata the portion of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount
with respect to such VFC Purchaser Group allocated to Series 2000-1 CP Tranches
and the Series 2000-1 Unallocated Balance, as appropriate; and
(ii) second, to reduce the
portion of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount with respect to such VFC Purchaser
Group allocated to Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranches in such order as the
Master Servicer may select in order to minimize interest expenses and costs
payable pursuant to Section 7.04.
Each distribution pursuant to this Section 2.07(d) shall be made by the Trustee distributing to
each Funding Agent the amount of such reduction (plus interest and fees payable
with respect thereto) allocable to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in such Funding
Agents VFC Purchaser Group.
(e) Any decrease in the Series 2000-1
Purchaser Invested Amount pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or

the Series 2000-1 Sterling Invested Amount as provided in the notice given by
the Master Servicer under Section 2.07(a) or
by the Funding Agents under Section 2.07(c).
17
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a Series 2000-1 Decrease initiated pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.15 or Section 2.16
shall be implemented in accordance with this Section 2.07;
provided that the provisions of this Section 2.07 shall be applied solely with respect to the
relevant VFC Purchaser Group, mutatis mutandis,
rather than to all VFC Purchaser Groups.
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
Company and the Trust may, upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to
the Funding Agents (with a copy to the Trustee), reduce or terminate the Series
2000-1 Commitments (a Series 2000-1 Commitment
Reduction); provided that:
(i) 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; and
(ii) 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 (c)(iv) and (v) of the definitions of Series 2000-1 Purchaser U.S.
Dollar Invested Amount, Series 2000-1 Purchaser Euro Invested Amount and Series
2000-1 Purchaser Sterling Invested Amount (as applicable but with regard to clause (d) of the definition of Series 2000-1 Purchaser Euro
Invested Amount and Series 2000-1 Purchaser Sterling Invested Amount)) on such
date, the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount would exceed an amount equal to the Series
2000-1 Adjusted Aggregate Commitment Amount then in effect.
Each Series 2000-1 APA Banks Series
2000-1 Commitment shall be reduced pro rata by
such Series 2000-1 APA Banks Series 2000-1 Adjusted Commitment Percentage of
the amount of such Series 2000-1 Commitment Reduction.
(b) If the Series 2000-1
Amortization Period has commenced, the Series 2000-1 Maximum Invested Amount
shall be reduced to the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount outstanding from time to
time and each Series 2000-1 APA Banks Series 2000-1 Commitment shall be
reduced by the product of (i) such Series 2000-1 APA Banks Series 2000-1
Commitment Percentage multiplied by (ii)
of the amount of such reduction multiplied by (iii)
the Applicable Liquidity Percentage.
(c) Each Series 2000-1 APA Banks Series
2000-1 Commitment shall be reduced by the product of (i) such Series 2000-1 APA
Banks Series 2000-1 Commitment Percentage multiplied by (ii)
the amount of any relevant principal reduction amount applied to the reduction
of the Series 2000-1
18
Invested Amounts pursuant to Section 2.07(d)
or 2.07(e) multiplied by (iii) the
Applicable Liquidity Percentage.
(d) Once reduced or terminated as
provided in this Section 2.08, the portion of the Series
2000-1 Aggregate Commitment Amount so reduced or terminated may not be
subsequently reinstated. Upon
effectiveness of any such reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent
shall prepare a revised Schedule I of
this Supplement to reflect the reduced or terminated 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
Administrative Agent shall distribute such revised Schedule I
to the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each Funding Agent. Concurrently therewith, each Funding Agent
shall distribute a revised Annex I to the Series
2000-1 Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to its VFC Purchaser Group to the
Company, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Trustee and each
related Series 2000-1 APA Bank.

on the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates shall be determined in accordance with Section 3A.04 and shall be payable on each Distribution Date
or other applicable day pursuant to Section 3A.06(a).
(b) Prior to the Series 2000-1
Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers shall be
entitled to receive a fee with respect to each Accrual Period (or portion
thereof) payable on each Distribution Date during the Series 2000-1 Revolving
Period (the Series 2000-1 Unused Fee). The Series 2000-1 Unused Fee 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
amount by which the average of the Series 2000-1 Aggregate Commitment Amount
during such Accrual Period exceeds the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount of the
related VFC Purchaser Group on such day.
The Series 2000-1 Unused Fee shall be determined in accordance with Section 3A.04 and be payable on a pro rata
basis (based on the amount which the then applicable Series 2000-1 Invested
Amount owned by the relevant Series 2000-1 Purchaser represents of the then
applicable Series 2000-1 Invested Amount owned by all Series 2000-1 Purchasers)
to each Funding Agent for the benefit of the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser in
its related VFC Purchaser Group or the Series 2000-1 APA Banks in such related
VFC Purchaser Group as part of the Series 2000-1 Monthly Interest on each
Distribution Date during the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period. The Trustee shall not be liable for the

(c) Each Series 2000-1 Conduit
Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a fee with respect to each Accrual
Period (or portion thereof) payable on each Distribution Date during the period
prior to the occurrence of a Conduit Purchaser Termination Event with respect

19
times (ii) the
aggregate of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount funded by the Series 2000-1
Conduit Purchasers on such day. The Series
2000-1 Utilization Fee shall be determined in accordance with Section 3A.04 and be payable on a pro rata basis (based on the amount which the then
applicable Series 2000-1 Invested Amount owned by the relevant Series 2000-1
Conduit Purchaser represents of the then applicable Series 2000-1 Invested
Amount owned by all Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers) to each Funding Agent for
the benefit of the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser in its related VFC Purchaser
Group as part of the Series 2000-1 Monthly Interest on each Distribution Date
prior to the occurrence of a Conduit Purchaser Termination Event with respect
to such Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser.
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 the actual number of
days elapsed and a 360 day year with respect to interest rates except with
respect to interest rates based on ABR or the calculation of interest with
respect to the Series 2000-1 Sterling Invested Amount, each of which shall be
calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 365 (or 366,
as the case may be) day year. Each
Funding Agent shall provide an initial notice of the inclusion of Mandatory
Costs in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate promptly after such Funding
Agent becomes aware of such condition; provided that
the failure to provide such notice shall not affect or limit the right to
include Mandatory Costs in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate. Each determination of Eurocurrency Rate
including (if applicable) any Mandatory Costs by each Funding Agent shall be
conclusive and binding upon each of the parties hereto in the absence of
manifest error.
SECTION 2.10 Indemnification by Huntsman
International and the Company.
(a) Without limiting any other
rights that the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Series 2000-1
Conduit Purchasers or the Series 2000-1 APA Banks may have under this
Supplement, the Pooling Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or under
applicable law, each of Huntsman International and the Company hereby agrees to
indemnify the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Series 2000-1
Conduit Purchasers and the Series 2000-1 APA Banks 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 Supplement 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; provided that
in no event shall Huntsman International be required to make any indemnity
payments resulting from the lack of performance or collectibility of the
Receivables owned by the
20
Company (unless such loss results from a breach of
representation or undertaking by Huntsman International or one of its
Affiliates with respect to any such Receivable).
(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 Section 2.10(a),
such Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Huntsman
International and the Company and the Company and Huntsman International, upon
request of such Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel
satisfactory to such Series 2000-1 Indemnified Party to represent such Series 2000-1
Indemnified Party and shall pay the reasonable 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 Huntsman International and the
Company. Except as set forth herein, it
is understood that neither the Company nor the 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 reasonable 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 this Supplement,
the Series 2000-1 Asset Purchase Agreements or any other Transaction Document.
(c) Any payments to be made by
Huntsman International and the Company pursuant to this Section shall be,
without restriction, due and payable from Huntsman International and the
Company, jointly and severally, and shall with respect to amounts owing from
the Company be (i) Company Subordinated Obligations, (ii) be made solely from
funds available to the Company that are not required to be applied to Company
Unsubordinated Obligations then due and (iii) not constitute a general recourse
claim against the Company, but only a claim payable after the satisfaction of
all Company Unsubordinated Obligations then due, except to the extent that
funds are available (including funds available to the Company pursuant to the
exercise of its right to indemnity and other payments pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 8.02 (or
equivalent sections) of the Origination Agreements) to the Company to make such
payments.
SECTION 2.11 Inability to Determine
Eurocurrency Rate.
If, prior to the first day on
which any Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche commences:
(a) any Funding Agent shall have
determined or shall have been notified (which determination or notification, in
the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Company) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable
Eurocurrency Rate for such Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche; or
(b) any Funding Agent shall have
received notice from one or more related Series 2000-1 APA Banks that the
applicable Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such Series 2000-1
Eurocurrency Tranche will not adequately
21
and fairly reflect the cost to such Series 2000-1 APA
Bank (as conclusively certified by such Series 2000-1 APA Bank(s)) of
purchasing or maintaining its/their affected portions of relevant Series 2000-1
Eurocurrency Tranches during the related Settlement Period;
then, in either such event,
such Funding Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof (confirmed
in writing) to the Company, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the
Trustee and the Series 2000-1 APA Banks as soon as practicable (but, in any
event, within forty-five (45) days after such determination or notice, as
applicable) thereafter. Upon delivery of
such notice and until such notice has been withdrawn by such Funding Agent, no
further Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranches shall be made in the relevant
currency or currencies. Each Funding
Agent agrees to withdraw any such notice as soon as reasonably practicable
after such Funding Agent is notified of a change in circumstances which makes
such notice inapplicable.

The Trustee shall at all times
comply with the FX Hedging Policy set forth in Schedule 6

Invested Amount is paid in full. To the
extent allocated funds are available therefore, payments of principal on the Series
2000-1 VFC Certificates will commence on the Distribution Date next succeeding
the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date and will be made on each Distribution
Date thereafter until the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount is paid in full or the
Participation Assets allocated to the Series 2000-1 Interests have been
depleted. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount may, on (i) any Distribution Date on or after
the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, be paid in full out of the
proceeds of the issuance of a new Series of Investor Certificates issued in
accordance with Section 5.11 of the Pooling
Agreement, together with (if applicable) funds available in the Series 2000-1
Principal Collection Subaccount or (ii) the
22
Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, be paid in
full in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.14(b)
through Section 2.14(h). The Trustee shall give prompt notice of its
receipt of a Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Notice under this Section 2.14(a) to the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificateholders
(in the form and at the location specified by such VFC Certificateholder or the
Trustee).
(b) In connection with the consummation of the
acquisition of control of the Parent Company by Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc.
(the Hexion Acquisition), on any Business
Day, the Master Servicer may require the Trustee to cause the Series 2000-1
Revolving Period to terminate on the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date on
the terms set forth in Section 2.14(b) through
Section 2.14(h). The Master Servicer may initiate, on a
preliminary basis, procedures for a Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date by
delivering to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent a
written notice (an Initiation Notice)
by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) specifying a potential Series 2000-1 Optional
Termination Date (a Potential Series 2000-1
Optional Termination Date) which date shall not be less than one (1)
Business Day after the date on which such notice is delivered. Each Funding Agent (on behalf of itself and
the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in its VFC Purchaser Group) and the Administrative
Agent shall, by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of receipt of such
notice, notify the Company, the Contributor and the Master Servicer of the
amount (determined in accordance with the definition of Series 2000-1 Pay-Off
Amounts) estimated to pay in full all Company Obligations owing to the Series 2000-1
Purchasers, the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Trustee (the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties) as if such amounts were paid
on such Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date (collectively, the Estimated Payoff Amount).
If the Hexion Acquisition does not occur, for any reason, on a Potential
Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, but is expected to occur after such
Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, then, (i) if the following
Business Day is not a Renotification Date, the following Business Day will be
deemed to be the new Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date without
any further notice and (ii) if the following Business Day is a Renotification
Date, then the Master Servicer will deliver a written notice specifying a new
Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date (an Extension
Notice), which shall take into account the related CP Tranche
Maturity Date; provided that if the Master
Servicer does not deliver such written notice, the Funding Agent shall
determine the new CP Tranche Maturity Date at its discretion. Any Extension
Notice may only be given, and any Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date
designated pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 2.14(b)
through Section 2.14(h) may
occur only, on a Business Day falling within ten (10) calendar days following
the date on which the Master Servicer has delivered the related Initiation
Notice or, if such tenth day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day
(such period, the Initiation Period);
provided that if no Series 2000-1
Optional Termination Date has occurred during an Initiation Period, the Master
Servicer may give a new Initiation Notice on the last Business Day of such
Initiation Period or any Business Day following the end of the most recently
ended Initiation Period; provided, further,
that the Master Servicer may only give a
23
total of three (3) Initiation Notices unless otherwise
consented to in writing by the Master Servicer, the Company and the Series 2000-1
Finance Parties.
In connection with each new Potential Series 2000-1
Optional Termination Date coinciding with the expected date of the consummation
of the Hexion Acquisition, each Series 2000-1 Finance Party will provide, if
necessary, revised Estimated Payoff Amounts.
If the Master Servicer has knowledge that the Series 2000-1 Optional
Termination Date will not occur on the following Business Day, it shall deliver to the Trustee, the
Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent a written notice (x) electing to
suspend the procedures which would result in each succeeding Business Day
becoming a Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date and (y) designating
another Business Day within the relevant Initiation Period as a Potential Series
2000-1 Optional Termination Date and the obligation of the Funding Agents to
provide revised Estimated Payment Amounts shall be suspended until the Business
Day immediately preceding such designated Potential Series 2000-1 Optional
Termination Date. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section
2.14, the Master Servicer shall continue to deliver such notices as
may be required under Section
2.05 and Section
2.07 to increase or decrease the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount until
the occurrence of the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date.
(c) For purposes of this Section 2.14:
(i) Renotification Date
means 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day that is three (3) Business
Days prior to a related CP Tranche Maturity Date; and
(ii) CP Tranche Maturity Date
means each date designated by notice to the Master Servicer from the Funding
Agent for a VFC Purchaser Group as the Business Day upon which Commercial Paper
notes issued by the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser in the relevant VFC
Purchaser Group (or related swap agreements) are anticipated to mature in
amounts equal to or greater than the Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount
for such Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser.
(d) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.14(a), if, on or prior to 3:00 p.m. (London time),
on the Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date the applicable Series 2000-1
Pay-Off Amounts (as defined below) are paid to the Trustee and the Funding
Agents: (i) the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount and all other outstanding Company
Obligations shall be paid to the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties from the
proceeds of the Hexion Prepayment Amount (as defined below) and not from funds
provided by the Contributor or the Company; (ii) the Master Servicer shall be
deemed to have given the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Notice on such
date; (iii) such date shall be deemed to be the Series 2000-1 Optional
Termination Date; and (iv) the Series 2000-1 Revolving Period shall
automatically terminate on such Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date. Each Funding Agent shall give prompt notice
of its receipt of any notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 2.14(b)
or Section 2.14(d) to the Series 2000-1 Purchasers in its VFC Purchaser Group.
24
(e) The Hexion Prepayment Amount
shall be an amount paid to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the
Funding Agents, equal to the amount, calculated by each of Administrative
Agent, the Trustee and the Funding Agents to pay in full all Company Obligations
owing to the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties as if such payment were
received by them on or prior to 3:00 p.m. (London Time) one (1) Business
Day after the relevant Potential Series 2000-1 Optional Termination
Date. The Hexion Prepayment Amount for each
Series 2000-1 Purchaser will be an estimate of the sum (without
duplication) of the aggregate: (i) Series 2000-1 Daily Euro Interest
Expense, Series 2000-1 Daily Dollar Interest Expense and Series 2000-1
Daily Sterling Interest Expense (as applicable) anticipated to accrue through
the relevant CP Tranche Maturity Date (including (A) Series 2000-1
Unused Fee through the relevant CP Tranche Maturity Date and (B) Series 2000-1
Utilization Fee through the relevant Potential Series 2000-1 Optional
Termination Date); and (ii) such other amounts due and owing to the Series 2000-1
Finance Parties pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and the Series 2000-1
Supplement, including the applicable Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount
(collectively, the Series 2000-1 Pay-Off
Amounts). The Hexion Prepayment Amount for the Trustee shall be
deemed to be the monthly fee of USD 4,583.33 payable to the Trustee. The Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts shall
be paid to the accounts of the applicable parties pursuant to payment instructions
provided by the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties (which may be set forth in
any notice of Estimated Payoff Amounts).
(f) The Company, the Contributor and the Master
Servicer hereby acknowledge that the Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts
specified in any notice which is given pursuant to Section 2.14(e) are
only an estimate of the amounts which are payable to the respective Series 2000-1
Finance Parties. The Contributor and the
Master Servicer hereby acknowledge and agree that if any such Series 2000-1
Pay-Off Amounts are insufficient to pay in full the amount of all Company
Obligations which are or will be payable to any Series 2000-1 Finance
Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then the Contributor or the Master
Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the relevant Series 2000-1
Finance Party an amount equal to any such deficiency within (2) Business
Days after written demand therefor. The
Contributor and the Master Servicer hereby acknowledge and agree that any
amount payable pursuant to the preceding sentence may include any additional
cost of funds incurred by a Series 2000-1 Finance Party for funding any
such deficiency. Each Series 2000-1
Finance Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that if any Series 2000-1
Pay-Off Amounts paid to it from the proceeds of the Hexion Prepayment Amount
are, in its reasonable determination, in excess of amounts necessary to pay in
full the amount of all Company Obligations which are or will be payable to such
Series 2000-1 Finance Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then
such Series 2000-1 Finance Party shall pay to the Person(s) designated
by the Master Servicer an amount equal to such excess within two (2) Business
Days after the final application of the proceeds of the Series 2000-1
Pay-Off Amounts.
(g) Upon receipt of the Series 2000-1
Pay-Off Amounts on the Series 2000-1 Optional Termination Date, each
Funding Agent (on behalf of itself and the
25
Series 2000-1 Purchasers in its VFC Purchaser Group)
and the Administrative Agent shall send written notice in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit H, on or prior to 4:00 p.m.
(London time) on such day, to the Trustee (with a copy to each other)
confirming receipt of such amounts. Upon
receipt by the Trustee of such notice with respect to each Series 2000-1
Finance Party, the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to deliver a
release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I
(the Release Agreement) on such Series 2000-1
Optional Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Supplement or the Agreement, the payment of Series 2000-1 Pay-Off Amounts
to the Series 2000-1 Finance Parties in accordance with Section 2.14(b) through Section 2.14(h) shall
be deemed to be a final distribution pursuant to Section 9.03
of the Agreement with respect to the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates and
the termination provisions of the Pooling Agreement shall be interpreted
accordingly.
(h) The Master Servicer and the Contributor
hereby agree to indemnify each Series 2000-1 Finance Party and each of
their respective directors, officers, managers and employees (each an Indemnified Person) against all losses, claims, damages,
penalties, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited
to, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation,
negotiation, execution and performance of this Series 2000-1 Supplement
and the Release Agreement) that such Indemnified Person may on behalf of itself
or any other Indemnified Person, pay or incur arising out of or relating to
this Series 2000-1 Supplement and the Release Agreement, whether such
losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses
are paid or incurred before, on or after the date hereof, excluding, however,
any amounts that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Person.
SECTION 2.15 Mandatory Reduction in Series 2000-1
Invested Amount
On each Commitment Confirmation Date, the
Master Servicer shall determine if the aggregate Series 2000-1 Invested
Amount for each VFC Purchaser Group (determined in U.S. Dollars) exceeds the
aggregate Series 2000-1 Adjusted Commitment in relation to the Series 2000-1
APA Banks in such VFC Purchaser Group (a VFC Excess Exposure). If a VFC Excess Exposure exists with respect
to a VFC Purchaser Group, the Master Servicer shall, on the relevant Commitment
Confirmation Date, make a Series 2000-1 Decrease in an amount equal or
greater than such VFC Excess Exposure with respect only to such VFC Purchaser
Group but otherwise in accordance with Section 2.07(f) and
the other provisions of Section 2.07
which apply thereto pursuant to Section 2.07(f);
provided that this Section 2.15
shall not affect or limit the ability otherwise to initiate Series 2000-1
Decreases pursuant to Section 2.07.
SECTION 2.16 Allocations Among VFC Purchaser Groups
Notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Supplement which provide that the Series 2000-1 Initial Invested
Amount, Series 2000-1 Increases and Series 2000-1 Decreases be
allocated among VFC Purchaser Groups pro rata in accordance with the VFC Pro
Rata Shares and VFC Currency Pro Rata Shares (the Pro Rata
Rules), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that allocations
in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules may be impractical to achieve
26
and agree that the Master Servicer shall
take reasonable efforts to comply with the Pro Rata Rules requirements set
forth in this Supplement subject to the following conditions:
(i) the Master Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to allocate Series 2000-1 Increases and Series 2000-1
Decreases among the VFC Purchaser Groups in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules but
in any event shall not make any allocation after which, giving effect thereto,
any VFC Purchaser Groups Series 2000-1 Invested Amount would be more than
$15,000,000 (or the U.S. Dollar equivalent of any other currency as determined
at the Spot Rate) above or below the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount which
would apply in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules (an Excess Deviation); provided that (1) if
at any time an Excess Deviation does exist with respect to a VFC Purchaser
Group, the Master Servicer shall within three (3) Business Days after the date
on which such Excess Deviation first occurred, provide notice thereof to the
Funding Agents, and upon receipt of a request by any Funding Agent related to a
VFC Purchaser Group with respect to which such Excess Deviation exists, shall
within three (3) Business Days after such request, make a Series 2000-1
Decrease in an amount which is sufficient to eliminate such Excess Deviation
with respect to such VFC Purchaser Group; in accordance with Section 2.07(f) and the other provisions of Section 2.07 which apply thereto pursuant to Section 2.07(f); and (2) any VFC Purchaser Group
may waive the right to request a Series 2000-1 Decrease under this
provision; and
(ii) on each day upon which any Series 2000-1
CP Tranche matures, the Master Servicer shall initiate a Series 2000-1
Increase and/or a Series 2000-1 Decrease which will be allocated among VFC
Purchaser Groups in a manner which is consistent with the Pro Rata Rules so
that after giving effect to such allocations the Series 2000-1 Invested
Amounts are allocated among the VFC Purchaser Groups so that the Series 2000-1
Invested Amounts are allocated approximately in accordance with the Pro Rata
Rules;
provided that it is understood that
the Master Servicer shall not be obliged to take actions to adjust the Series 2000-1
Invested Amounts in accordance with the Pro Rata Rules as required by the
foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) if the reason such adjustment is required is due
to the Series 2000-1 U.S. Dollar Invested Amount being in amount which is
not sufficient to allocate to the Dollar Only VFC Purchaser Group in accordance
with the Pro Rata Rules.

A monthly servicing fee (the Series 2000-1 Monthly Servicing Fee) shall be payable
to the Master Servicer on each Distribution Date for the preceding Settlement
Period, in an amount equal to the product of (a) the Servicing Fee and (b) a
fraction, the numerator of

denominator of which shall be equal to the sum of (1) the Series 2000-1

all other Outstanding Series, each calculated as of the end of such preceding

Subaccounts at any such date are insufficient to pay the Series 2000-1
Monthly Servicing Fee due on such date as set forth in the Monthly Settlement
Report delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the Trustee shall so
notify the Master Servicer and the Company, and the Company will be obligated
to immediately pay the Master Servicer the amount of any such deficiency; provided that any payments to be made by the Company
pursuant to this Section shall (i) be Company Subordinated
Obligations, (ii) be made solely from funds available to the Company that
are not required to be applied to Company Unsubordinated Obligations then due
and (iii) not constitute a general recourse claim against the Company but
only a claim against the Company, to the extent of funds available after the

Servicing Fee payable to a Successor Master Servicer (which will be payable to
the Liquidation Servicer in accordance with the preceding sentence) will not be
a Company Subordinated Obligation and shall also be payable from the
application of funds from the Series 2000-1 Non-Principal Concentration
Subaccounts in accordance with Section 3A.06(b). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Supplement or any other Transaction Document, the Monthly Servicing Fee,
including the Series 2000-1 Monthly Servicing Fee, payable to a Successor
Master Servicer shall be paid to the Liquidation Servicer so long as the
Liquidation Servicer has not resigned or been terminated.

CHANGE
IN CIRCUMSTANCES
SECTION 7.01 Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other
provision herein, if, after the Series 2000-1 Issuance Date, or with
respect to any Person becoming a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or a Series 2000-1
APA Bank subsequent to the Series 2000-1 Issuance Date, after the new date
such Person became a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or a Series 2000-1 APA
Bank, as applicable (the Series 2000-1
Acquisition Date), the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make
it unlawful for any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank
to make or maintain its portion of the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificateholders
Interest in any Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche and such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, as applicable, shall provide written
notice to its Funding Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Company, then effective upon the commencement of the next Series 2000-1
Eurocurrency Period, or immediately if it shall be unlawful for such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank to make or maintain its portion of the
Series 2000-1 VFC Certificateholders Interest in any Series 2000-1
Eurocurrency Tranche to the end of the applicable Series 2000-1
Eurocurrency Period, Series 2000-1 Daily U.S. Dollar Interest Expense, Series 2000-1

Tranche applicable to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank shall until the foregoing notice is withdrawn by such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank be calculated by
49
reference to the ABR (such
calculation shall be performed by the Administrative Agent and in the absence
of manifest error shall be binding and conclusive). If any such change in the method of
calculating the Series 2000-1 Daily U.S. Dollar Interest Expense, Series 2000-1
Daily Euro Interest Expense or Series 2000-1 Daily Sterling Interest
Expense occurs on a day which is not the last day of the Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency
Period with respect to any Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche, the Company
shall pay to the applicable Funding Agent for the account of such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank the amounts (if any) as may be
required pursuant to Section 7.04.

or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority made (i) as to any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank that is a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank
on the date hereof, subsequent to the date hereof or (ii) as to any Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank that becomes a Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank after the date hereof, subsequent to
the Series 2000-1 Acquisition Date:
(i) shall change the basis of taxation of payments
to any such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank in
respect of the Transaction Documents; and
(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets
held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances,
loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by,
any office of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank
which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate;
and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank by an amount which such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank deems in its reasonable judgment to be material, of making, converting
into, continuing or maintaining Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranches or to
reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such
case, the Company will pay to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank for such additional costs incurred or
reduced amount receivable other than amounts with respect to Taxes for which
the Company is held harmless pursuant to Section 7.03
and without duplication of any amounts for which the Company is obligated to
make payment under Section 7.03.
(b) If any Series 2000-1 Purchaser which is a depository institution or
trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal, state or
foreign
50
banking or depository institution authorities or Series 2000-1
APA Bank (i) that is a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank, as the case may be, on the date hereof shall have determined that the
adoption after the Series 2000-1 Issuance Date of or any change after the Series 2000-1
Issuance Date or (ii) that becomes a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank, as the case may be, after the date hereof shall have determined that
the adoption after the Series 2000-1 Acquisition Date of, or any change
after the Series 2000-1 Acquisition Date, in any Requirement of Law
regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or
compliance by such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank
or any corporation controlling such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (with respect
to any Series 2000-1 Purchaser which is a banking institution) (whether or
not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to
the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Series 2000-1
Purchasers, such Series 2000-1 APA Banks or such corporations capital
(with respect to any Series 2000-1 Purchaser which is a banking
institution) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under the
Transaction Documents to a level below that which such Series 2000-1
Purchaser, such Series 2000-1 APA Bank or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
such Series 2000-1 Purchasers, such Series 2000-1 APA Banks or such
corporations policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank in its
reasonable judgment to be material, then from time to time, the Company will
promptly pay to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA
Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank for such reduction suffered.
(c) Any payments to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section shall
(i) be Company Subordinated Obligations, (ii) be made solely from
funds available to the Company that are not required to be applied to Company
Unsubordinated Obligations then due and (iii) until the date that is one
year and one day after payment in full of the Company Unsubordinated
Obligations, not constitute a general recourse claim against the Company after
satisfying all Company Unsubordinated Obligations then due at any time during
the period of one year and one day following the date on which all Company
Unsubordinated Obligations have been paid in full, except to the extent that
funds are available (including funds available to the Company pursuant to the
exercise of its right to indemnity and other payments pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 8.02 of the
Origination Agreements) to the Company to make such payments.
(d) If any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank
becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Section (a) or (b) above,
it shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Company (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent) of the event by reason of which
it has become so entitled. A certificate
setting forth (i) any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section and
(ii) a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation of such amount
or amounts submitted by such
51
Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA
Bank to the Company (with a copy to each Funding Agent) shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Supplement
and the Pooling Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.
(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 7.02
shall not constitute a waiver of such Series 2000-1 Purchasers or Series 2000-1
APA Banks right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Company will not be required to compensate a Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank pursuant to this Section 7.02
for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the
date that such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank
notifies the Company of the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to
such increase costs or reductions and of such Series 2000-1 Purchasers or
Series 2000-1 APA Banks intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that,
if the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 7.03 Taxes.
(a) All payments made by the Company under this Supplement shall be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of,
any Taxes, excluding (i) any income, franchise, branch profits or similar
taxes imposed on or measured by the net income (or in lieu of net income) of
either Funding Agent, any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or any Series 2000-1
APA Bank by (A) the United States or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, (B) any jurisdiction under the laws of which
such Funding Agent, such Series 2000-1 Purchaser, such Series 2000-1
APA Bank or such lending office is organized, incorporated, resident or
citizen, or in which its lending office is located, managed or controlled or in
which its principal office is located or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, (ii) for any Series 2000-1 Acquiring
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 Participants, taxes to the extent that they
were Series 2000-1 Excluded Taxes (as defined below) with respect to such
persons predecessor or to the extent the taxes were Series 2000-1
Excluded Taxes as a result of the breach (including a breach of warranty),
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such predecessor, (iii) taxes
imposed as a result of any Funding Agents, Series 2000-1 Purchasers, Series 2000-1
APA Banks, Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchasers or Series 2000-1
Participants (and not its predecessors) gross negligence or willful
misconduct and (iv) for any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America
or a State thereof, any United States withholding tax to the extent existing on
the Series 2000-1 Issuance Date and not otherwise exempt after such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank has complied with Section 7.03(b) (the
Taxes referred to in the foregoing clauses (i)
(iv) individually or collectively
being called Series 2000-1 Excluded Taxes
and any and all other Taxes, collectively or individually, being called Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded
52
Taxes).
Subject to Section 7.03(b),
if any such Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld
from any amounts payable to either Funding Agent or any Series 2000-1
Purchaser or any Series 2000-1 APA Bank hereunder, the amounts so payable
to such Funding Agent or such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or such Series 2000-1
APA Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after all required
deductions have been made in respect of Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.03(a)) to such Funding Agent, such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or such Series 2000-1 APA Banks, as the case may be, receives an
amount equal to the amount which would have been due had no such deductions
been made. Whenever any Series 2000-1
Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible
thereafter, the Company shall send to the relevant Funding Agent for its own
account or for the account of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank, as the case may be, a certified copy of any original official receipt
received by the Company showing payment thereof or any other proof reasonably
acceptable to such Funding Agent. In
addition, the Company agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or
documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or similar charges or
similar levies that arise from any payment made under the Pooling Agreement,
this Supplement or the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates or from the
execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, the Pooling Agreement,
this Supplement, or the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificates (collectively, Series 2000-1 Other Taxes). The Company agrees to indemnify each of the
Funding Agents, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers and the Series 2000-1
APA Banks for the full amount of any Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes and Series 2000-1
Other Taxes paid by either Funding Agent or any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or
any Series 2000-1 APA Bank (as the case may be) and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto other than any penalties, interest or expense to the extent arising
from the failure of such Funding Agent, such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank to pay such Taxes or Series 2000-1 Other Taxes on a timely
basis. The relevant Funding Agent shall
provide immediate notice to the Company after receipt of a demand for payment
of Series 2000-1 Non-Excluded Taxes and Series 2000-1 Other
Taxes. If the Company fails to pay any Series 2000-1
Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to
remit to the applicable Funding Agent the required receipts or any other proof
reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent, the Company will indemnify such
Funding Agent, the Series 2000-1 Purchasers and the Series 2000-1 APA
Banks for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable
by such Funding Agent or any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or any Series 2000-1
APA Bank as a result of any such failure.
The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of
this Supplement and the repayment of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount and
all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b) Each Series 2000-1 Purchaser and each Series 2000-1 APA Bank
that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a
State thereof or the District of Columbia shall:
53
(i) deliver
to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Trustee and the related Funding Agent
two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
W-8BEN or W-8IMY, or successor applicable form and such other forms,
certificates and documentation as may be necessary or appropriate to establish,
in each case, that it is entitled to receive payments from the Company without
a deduction for U.S. federal withholding tax or with a deduction at a reduced
rate. In the case of a Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank that provides an Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank shall either (i) claim the benefit of a treaty that provides for
a complete exemption from United States withholding tax for payments of
interest or (ii) claim the benefit of the U.S. portfolio interest
exemption by also providing a certification that is not a bank making a loan
under this Supplement in the ordinary course of its business within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or a person related to the
Company in a manner described in Sections 871(h)(3)(B), 881(c)(3)(B) or
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. If a Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank that provides an Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN is unable to claim a complete exemption from the United States
withholding tax because of a change in law after the date such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank became a party to this Supplement, the
Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank will be treated as
satisfying the requirements of this Section 7.03(b)(i),
as the case may be;
(ii) deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Trustee, the
Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent two further copies of any
such form or certification (a) on or before the date that any such form or
certification expires or becomes obsolete, (b) after the occurrence of any
event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to
the Company, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the related Funding Agent
and (c) at the request of the Master Servicer, the Company, the Trustee or
the related Funding Agent; and
(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or
certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company, the Trustee, the
Administrative Agent or the related Funding Agent;
unless any change in treaty,
law or regulation has occurred prior to, and is in effect on, the date on which
any such delivery would otherwise be required which would prevent such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank from duly completing and delivering
any such form with respect to it and such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank so advises the Company and the related Funding Agent. Each Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank shall certify to the Company, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent
and the related Funding Agent at the time it first becomes a Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, and thereafter to the extent provided
by law, (i) all such forms are true and complete, (ii) that it is
entitled to receive payments under this Supplement without, or
54
at a reduced rate of,
withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (iii) that it is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Person that shall become a Series 2000-1
Purchaser, a Series 2000-1 APA Bank or a Series 2000-1 Participant
pursuant to Section 11.10 shall, upon the
effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide to the Company,
the Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Master Servicer and the related
Funding Agent all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this
Section, provided that in the case of a Series 2000-1 Participant such Series 2000-1
Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank from which the related participation
shall have been purchased and such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank shall provide such forms to the Company with a duly executed Form W-8IMY
and withholding statement. If the
Company or the Trustee has not received the forms set forth in Section 7.03(b)(i) hereof, the Company or the
Trustee shall withhold taxes from such payment at the applicable statutory rate
and shall not be obliged to make increased payments under Section 7.03(a) hereof
until such forms or other documents are delivered.
(c) Each Series 2000-1 Purchaser and each Series 2000-1
APA Bank that is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Trustee and
the related Funding Agent two duly completed copies of the United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor applicable form.
(d) The Company is not required to make any payment
under Section 7.03(a) to the extent
such payment would be due as the result of the relevant Funding Agent, Series 2000-1
Purchaser, Series 2000-1 APA Bank, Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser
of Series 2000-1 Participant not providing the forms required by Section 7.03(b)(i), or 7.03(b)(ii).
(e) If the Company makes a payment under Section 7.03(a) (a Tax Payment)
in respect of a payment to any Funding Agent, Series 2000-1 Purchaser, Series 2000-1
APA Bank, Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1
Participant under this Supplement and such person determines in good faith that
it has obtained a refund of tax or obtained and used a credit against tax on
its overall net income (a Tax Credit)
which such person acting reasonably is able to identify as attributable to that
Tax Payment, then provided such person has received all amounts which are then
due and payable by the Company, such person shall reimburse the Company such
amount as such person determines acting reasonably to be such proportion of
that Tax Credit as will leave such person (after that reimbursement) in no
better or worse position than it would have been in if no Tax Payment had been
required.
55
SECTION 7.04 Indemnity.
Huntsman
International and the Company jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Series 2000-1
Purchaser and each Series 2000-1 APA Bank and to hold each Series 2000-1
Purchaser and each Series 2000-1 APA Bank harmless from any loss or
expense which such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank
may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
(a) default by the Company in making a borrowing
of, conversion into or continuation of a Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency
Tranche after irrevocable notice requesting the same has been given in
accordance with the Section 2.05(a);
(b) default by the Company in making a decrease in
the Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche in connection with a Series 2000-1

(c) the making of a decrease of a Series 2000-1
Eurocurrency Tranche prior to the termination of the Series 2000-1
Eurocurrency Period for such Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche.
Such indemnification may
include an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid or not so borrowed,
converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of
such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the Series 2000-1
Eurocurrency Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, the Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Period that would have commenced
on the date of such prepayment or of such failure) in each case at the
applicable rate of interest for such Series 2000-1 Eurocurrency Tranche
provided for herein (excluding, however, the Series 2000-1 Applicable
Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the
amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank) which would have accrued to such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank on such amount by placing such amount
on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank
eurocurrency market; provided that
any payments made by Huntsman International or the Company pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be, without exception, due and
payable from the Company and with respect to amounts owing from the Company any
amounts paid pursuant hereto shall be Company Subordinated Obligations. This covenant shall survive the termination
of this Supplement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder. A certificate of a Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank setting forth (x) any amount that
such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section 7.04
and (y) a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation of such
amount by the affected Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA
Bank, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Company and the Master
Servicer and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 7.05 Assignment of Series 2000-1 Commitments Under Certain
Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.

Series 2000-1 APA Bank delivers a notice described in Section 7.02
or (ii) the Company is required to pay any
56
additional amount or indemnification payment to any Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank pursuant to Section 7.03,
the Company may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the
processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.10(b)),
upon notice to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank
and to the related Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent, require such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank to transfer and assign, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.10), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Supplement to an assignee that shall assume such
assigned obligations pursuant to the execution and delivery, by such assignee,
of a Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B (which assignee may be
another Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank, as
applicable, if another Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA
Bank accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such
assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of
any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (B) the
Company will have received the prior written consent of the related Funding
Agent, and (C) the Company or its assignee shall have paid to the affected
Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank in immediately
available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of, and interest
accrued to the date of such payment on, the outstanding Series 2000-1 VFC
Certificate Interests of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank plus all fees and other amounts accrued
for the account of such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA
Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Sections
7.02, 7.03 and 7.04);
and provided, further,
that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event
that resulted in such Series 2000-1 Purchasers or Series 2000-1 APA
Banks notice under Section 7.02
or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 7.03,
as the case may be, cease to cause such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable
or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified
in Section 7.02, or cease to result
in amounts being payable under Section 7.03,
as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank pursuant to Section 7.05(b)),
or if such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall
withdraw its notice under Section 7.02
or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 7.03

Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall not thereafter be required to
make any such transfer and assignment hereunder.
(b) If (i) any Series 2000-1 Purchaser or
Series 2000-1 APA Bank delivers a notice described in Section 7.02
or (ii) the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank pursuant to Section 7.03,
then such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank shall use
reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Series 2000-1 Purchaser
or Series 2000-1 APA Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed
cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal
policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or
burden reasonably deemed by it to be significant) (A) to file
57
any certificate or document reasonably requested in
writing by the Company (or the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Company) or (B) to
assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment
would enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 7.02
or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.03,
as the case may be, in the future. The
Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Series 2000-1
Purchaser or Series 2000-1 APA Bank in connection with any such filing or
assignment, delegation and transfer.

except to the extent such notice is given more than 90 days after such Person
becomes aware of the occurrence of the relevant Accounting Based Consolidation
Event, in which event the amount payable by the Company under this Section 7.06 shall be determined based on fees,
expenses, increased costs or other amounts payable hereunder which have arisen

(v) such Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser will independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, either Funding Agent, the
Trustee, the assigning Series 2000-1 Purchaser or any other Series 2000-1
Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem

(vii) such Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser
agrees that it will perform in accordance with its terms all the obligations

(d) Notwithstanding and in addition to the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Series 2000-1
Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register for the recordation
of the names and addresses of the Series 2000-1 Purchaser, and the Series 2000-1
Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Series 2000-1 VFC
Certificate issued to, the Series 2000-1 VFC Certificateholder and each Series 2000-1
VFC Certificate Interest allocated to each Series 2000-1 Purchaser
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the Series 2000-1
Register). Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 5.06

provided in this Section 11.10(d) shall
be conclusive and the Company, the Master Servicer, the Series 2000-1

related Funding Agent and the Trustee shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Series 2000-1 Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Series 2000-1

83
owned by the Company, the Master Servicer, any
Originator or any Affiliate thereof which has been pledged in good faith shall
not be disregarded and may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee
establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgees right so to act
with respect to such Investor Certificate and that the pledgee is not the
Company, the Master Servicer, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof. The Series 2000-1 Register shall be
available for inspection by the Company, the Master Servicer, any Originator,
the Series 2000-1 Purchasers and the Trustee, at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Acquiring Purchaser (unless the Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser shall
already be a Series 2000-1 Purchaser hereunder) and the processing and
recordation fee referred to in Section 11.10(b) above,
(i) the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent shall accept
such Series 2000-1 Commitment Transfer Supplement, (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Series 2000-1
Register and (iii) the related Funding Agent shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the Series 2000-1 Purchaser, the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee. No assignment

Documents (including all or a portion of its Series 2000-1 Commitment and

however, that:
(i) such Series 2000-1 Purchasers or Series 2000-1

pursuant to such Sections than a Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank, as applicable, would have been entitled to receive in respect of the
amount of the participation sold by such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank to such Series 2000-1 Participant had no sale occurred;
84
(iv) the Company, the Master Servicer, the other Series 2000-1
Purchasers, the Series 2000-1 APA Banks, the Administrative Agent, the
Funding Agents and the Trustee shall continue to deal solely and directly with

connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation pursuant to this Section 11.10,
disclose to the Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1
Participant or proposed Series 2000-1 Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1
Participant any information relating to any Originator, the Master Servicer,
the Trust or the Company furnished to such Series 2000-1 Purchaser or Series 2000-1
APA Bank by or on behalf of such entities; provided that,
prior to any such disclosure of information, each such Series 2000-1
Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1 Participant or proposed Series 2000-1
Acquiring Purchaser or Series 2000-1 Participant shall execute and deliver
to the Master Servicer a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit G.
(h) Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall assign or delegate any
of its rights or duties hereunder other than to an Affiliate thereof without
the prior written consent of the Funding Agents, the Trustee and each Series 2000-1
Purchaser, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and
void.
(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. § 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

in any manner restrict the ability of the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers
to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any
portion of their respective Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amounts. Without limiting the foregoing, each Series 2000-1
Conduit Purchaser may, on one or a series of transactions, transfer all or any
portion of its Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount, and its rights and
obligations under the Transaction Documents to a Conduit Assignee.
(k) Any Series 2000-1 APA Bank may at any time pledge or grant a
security interest in all or any portion of its Series 2000-1 VFC
Certificate and its rights under this Supplement and the Transaction Documents
(including any rights to payment of Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested
Amount and Series 2000-1 Monthly Interest Distribution) to secure
obligations of such Series 2000-1 APA Bank to a Federal Reserve Bank, and
this Section 11.10(k) shall not
prohibit or otherwise limit to any such pledge or grant of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or grant of
a security interest shall release a Series 2000-1 APA Bank from any of its
obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Series 2000-1
APA Bank as a party hereto.
SECTION 11.11 Counterparts.
This Supplement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.
SECTION 11.12 Adjustments; Setoff.
(a) If any Series 2000-1 Purchaser (a Series 2000-1 Benefited Purchaser) shall at any time
receive in respect of its Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount any
distribution of any amount, including Series 2000-1 Unused Fee, Series 2000-1
Utilization Fee or other fees, or any interest thereon, or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff,
or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such distribution (if any)
received by any other Series 2000-1 Purchaser in respect of such other Series 2000-1
Purchasers Series 2000-1 Purchaser Invested Amount, or interest thereon,
such Series 2000-1 Benefited Purchaser shall purchase for cash from the
other Series 2000-1 Purchasers such portion of each such other Series 2000-1
Purchasers Series 2000-1 VFC Certificate Interest, or shall provide such
other Series 2000-1 Purchasers with the benefits of any such collateral,
or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Series 2000-1
Benefited Purchaser to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral
or proceeds ratably with each of the Series 2000-1 Purchasers; provided, however, that
if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such Series 2000-1 Benefited Purchaser, such purchase shall
be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of
such recovery, but without interest. The
Master Servicer agrees that each Series 2000-1 Purchaser so purchasing a Series 2000-1
VFC Certificate Interest may exercise all rights of payment (including rights
of
86
setoff) with respect to such portion as fully as if
such Series 2000-1 Purchaser were the direct holder of such portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Series 2000-1
Purchasers provided by law, each Series 2000-1 Purchaser shall have the
right, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly
waived by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any
amount becoming due and payable by the Company hereunder or under the Series 2000-1
VFC Certificates to setoff and appropriate and apply against any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Series 2000-1 Purchaser to or
for the credit or the account of the Company.
Each Series 2000-1 Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Company,
the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents 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 Companys 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 Pooling Agreement and any Supplement and neither the
Administrative Agent, nor any 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.
SECTION 11.14 No Bankruptcy Petition; No Recourse.
(a) The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent,
each Series 2000-1 Purchaser, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each Series 2000-1

and IV of this Supplement and Article III of the Pooling Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any
Funding Agent, nor any Series 2000-1 Purchaser, nor any Series 2000-1
APA Bank, nor the Trustee, nor the Master Servicer, nor any other person shall
have any claim against the Company to the extent that such assets are
insufficient to meet any such obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or
agreement (the difference being referred to herein as shortfall)
and all claims in respect of
87
the shortfall shall be extinguished. A director, member, independent manager,
managing member, officer or employee, as applicable, of the Company shall not
have liability for any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any
Transaction Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,
any Transaction Document, unless such claim results from the gross negligence,
fraudulent acts or willful misconduct of such director, officer or employee.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Supplement or any other Transaction Document, each Series 2000-1 Conduit
Purchaser (other than with respect to itself), the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and the Series 2000-1
APA Banks each hereby covenant and agree that prior to the date which is one
year (or, if longer, such preference period as is then applicable) and one day
after the latest of (i) the last day of the Series 2000-1
Amortization Period, (ii) the date on which all Investor Certificates of
each other Outstanding Series are repaid in full, and (iii) the date
on which all outstanding Commercial Paper of each Series 2000-1 Conduit
Purchaser is paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against, any Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings,
or other similar proceedings under any Applicable Insolvency Laws.
The provisions of this Section 11.14 shall survive termination of this
Supplement.
SECTION 11.15 Limitation on Addition of Approved Originators,
Approved Currency, Approved Obligors and a Successor Master Servicer; Mergers
and Consolidations

set forth in Section 2.09 of the Pooling

Certificate is outstanding:

law other than an Approved Contract Jurisdiction;
(v) the appointment of a Successor Master Servicer;
(vi) the addition of a jurisdiction as an Approved
Obligor Country which is a Non-Investment Grade Country;
(vii) any merger, consolidation, conveyance, sale or

shall, in each case, require the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent acting at the direction of all Series 2000-1
Purchasers.
(b) Notwithstanding satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.03 of the Pooling Agreement, Section 5.01 of the Servicing Agreement and Section 6.11 (or any corresponding section) of the
Origination Agreements, the occurrence of any such event set forth in such
Sections shall require the delivery to the Trustee of the prior written consent
of each Funding Agent.
SECTION 11.16 Subordinated Loan.
(a) If the Company elects to deliver U.S. Dollars,
Euro and/or Pounds Sterling (as applicable) to cure an Early Amortization Event
pursuant to Section 5.01, such cash
contribution, which may be made only out of Collections from the Series 2000-1
Concentration Accounts which are otherwise allocable under Section 3A.03
to be paid to the Company Receipts Account, 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 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
89
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 Administrative 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;
(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;
(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 Pooling
Agreement, this Supplement or any other agreement that may be made relating to
any Senior Claim;
(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 Pooling Agreement, this Supplement or any waiver of
any such right, power, privilege or remedy or of any default with respect to
such Senior Claim, the Pooling Agreement or this Supplement, or any receipt by
the holder of any Senior Claim of any security, or any
90
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;
(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;
(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 sub-clauses (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 Funding Agent(s) representing
Certificateholders of more than 50% of the Series 2000-1 Invested Amount
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 Pooling 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
91
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 SECOND
AMENDED AND RESTATED SERIES 2000-1 SUPPLEMENT AMONG HUNTSMAN RECEIVABLES

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 Companys offices.
SECTION 11.17 Limited Recourse.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Supplement or any other Transaction Document, each of the parties hereto agrees
that the respective obligations of each Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser
under this Supplement or any other Transaction Document are solely the
corporate obligations of the Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchasers and, in the
case of obligations of each Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser other than
Commercial Paper, shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or are
available to such Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser in excess of funds
necessary to pay in full all outstanding Commercial Paper issued by such Series 2000-1
Conduit Purchaser and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such
obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against
such Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of
any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code)
of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all

of any Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser contained in this Supplement shall
be had against any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer, director,

Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents or any of their Affiliates (solely by
virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal

of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations,
covenants or agreements of such Series 2000-1 Conduit Purchaser contained
