Section 2.7. Series 2022-5 Reserve Account.
(a) Establishment of Series 2022-5 Reserve Account. ABRCF shall establish and maintain in the name of the Series 2022-5 Agent for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders, or cause to be established and maintained, an account (the “Series 2022-5 Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders. The Series 2022-5 Reserve Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account; provided, however, that, if at any time such Qualified Institution is no longer a Qualified Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such depositary institution or trust company shall be reduced to below “Baa3” by Moody’s or “BBB-” by Fitch, then ABRCF shall, within thirty (30) days of such reduction, establish a new Series 2022-5 Reserve Account with a new Qualified Institution. If the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, ABRCF shall establish a new Series 2022-5 Reserve Account, within ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such fact, which complies with such sentence, and shall instruct the Series 2022-5 Agent in writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2022-5 Reserve Account into the new Series 2022-5 Reserve Account. Initially, the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account will be established with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
(b) Administration of the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account. The Administrator may instruct the institution maintaining the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account to invest funds on
| 41 |
deposit in the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account is held with the Paying Agent, then such investment may mature on such Distribution Date and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution Date; provided further, that in the case of Permitted Investments held in the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account and so long as any Series 2022-5 Note is rated by Fitch (x) any Permitted Investment set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (vi) and (vii) of the definition thereof will have a rating of “AA-” or “F1+” by Fitch and (y) any Permitted Investment set forth in clause (v) of the definition thereof will either have a rating of “AAAmmf” by Fitch or, if such fund is not rated by Fitch, the then highest rating from two nationally recognized investment rating agencies (other than Fitch). All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical property (and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security entitlement) shall be physically delivered to the Trustee; (ii) United States security entitlements or security entitlements shall be controlled (as defined in Section 8-106 of the New York UCC) by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition, and (iii) uncertificated securities (and not United States security entitlements) shall be delivered to the Trustee by causing the Trustee to become the registered holder of such securities. The Trustee shall, at the expense of ABRCF, take such action as is required to maintain the Trustee’s security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account. ABRCF shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investment prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the purchase price of such Permitted Investment. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.
(c) Earnings from Series 2022-5 Reserve Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account shall be deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution.
(d) Series 2022-5 Reserve Account Constitutes Additional Collateral for Series 2022-5 Senior Notes. In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the ABRCF Obligations with respect to the Series 2022-5 Senior Notes, ABRCF hereby grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders, all of ABRCF’s right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or hereafter existing or acquired): (i) the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account, including any security entitlement thereto; (ii) all funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iii) all certificates and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing any or all of the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account or the funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iv) all investments made at any time and from time to time with monies in the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account, whether constituting securities, instruments, general intangibles, investment property, financial assets or other property; (v) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account, the funds on deposit therein from time to time or the investments made with such funds; and (vi) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash (the items in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are referred to, collectively, as the “Series 2022-5 Reserve

The Series 2022-5 Reserve Account Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders. The Series 2022-5 Agent hereby agrees (i) to act as the securities intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC) with respect to the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account; (ii) that its jurisdiction as securities intermediary is New York; (iii) that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account shall be treated as a financial asset (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC) and (iv) to comply with any entitlement order (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) issued by the Trustee.

(f) Termination of Series 2022-5 Reserve Account. Upon the termination of the Indenture pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 2022-5 Noteholders and payable from the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Series 2022-5 Reserve Account all amounts on deposit therein for payment to ABRCF.

ABRCF shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investment prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the purchase price of such Permitted Investment.

Section 2.9. Series 2022-5 Distribution Account.
(a) Establishment of Series 2022-5 Distribution Account. ABRCF shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2022-5 Noteholders, or cause to be established and maintained, an account (the “Series 2022-5 Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2022-5 Noteholders. The Series 2022-5 Distribution Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account; provided, however, that if at any time such Qualified Institution is no longer a Qualified Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such depositary institution or trust company shall be reduced to below “Baa3” by Moody’s or “BBB-” by Fitch, then ABRCF shall, within thirty (30) days of such reduction, establish a new Series 2022-5 Distribution Account with a new Qualified Institution.

Initially, the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account will be established with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
(b) Administration of the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account. The Administrator may instruct the institution maintaining the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account is held with the Paying Agent, then such investment may mature on such Distribution Date and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical property (and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security entitlement) shall be physically delivered to the Trustee; (ii) United States security entitlements or security entitlements shall be controlled (as defined in Section 8-106 of the New York UCC) by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition, and (iii) uncertificated securities (and not United States security entitlements) shall be delivered to the Trustee by causing the Trustee to become the registered holder of such securities. The Trustee shall, at the expense of ABRCF, take such action as is required to maintain the Trustee’s security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account. ABRCF shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted
| 48 |
Investment prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the purchase price of such Permitted Investment. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.
(c) Earnings from Series 2022-5 Distribution Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2022-5 Distribution Account shall be deemed to be on deposit and available for distribution.
