Description of the Transaction Documents Requests to Repurchase and Dispute Resolution, page 90
2. | We note your disclosure that [i]f more than one investors directs the indenture trustee in connection with a request to purchase, the indenture trustee will act at the direction of investors holding a majority of the outstanding note balance of the notes held by such directing investors. It is unclear to us that this would allow any investor to utilize the dispute resolution proceeding. Please tell us why it is appropriate to impose this limitation on investors before they are able to utilize the dispute resolution provision. Refer to Section V.B.3(a)(3) of the 2014 Regulation AB Adopting Release. |
Response
We have revised the disclosure on page 90 of the prospectus to remove that language.
