ARTICLE IX REDEMPTION Section 9.1. Optional Redemption; Election to Redeem. (a) At the direction of the Required Redemption Percentage to the Issuer (with a copy to the Trustee), the Rated Notes shall be redeemable at their respective Redemption Prices from Sale Proceeds (and the net proceeds of the Pledged Collateral Obligations and Equity Securities representing accrued interest) and any other funds in the Collection Account and the Payment Account (including any proceeds from a Redemption Financing) (i) on any Distribution Date after the last day of the Non-Call Period; or (ii) on any Distribution Date during or after the end of the Non-Call Period, upon and during the continuance of a Tax Event. The redemption direction may specify a redemption of one or more specified Classes of Rated Notes (in whole but not in part) with Refinancing Proceeds (each, a "Refinancing") or, if a Refinancing is not specified, the Issuer will redeem each Class of Rated Notes (in whole but not in part) (a "Rated Notes Redemption"). On any Distribution Date on or after the Rated Notes have been redeemed or paid in full, the Subordinated Securities (in whole but not in part) will be redeemed (an "Equity Redemption") at the direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Securities to the Issuer (with a copy to the Trustee).

The Issuer will provide notice to each Rating Agency at least 10 Business Days prior to the execution ofRedemption Financing and shall enter into a supplemental indenture pursuant to Article VIII to facilitate Redemption Financing (including, without limitation, to Grant a security interest to the Redemption Financing lender).
