SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of January 24, 2018 (as the same may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), among ACAR LEASING LTD., a Delaware statutory trust (the “Borrower”), AMERICREDIT FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation as lender (in such capacity, the “Lender”) and as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

WHEREAS the parties to this Agreement intend to amend and restate the Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2011 (the “Original Credit and Security Agreement”) and as of May 23, 2013 (the “Amended Credit and Security Agreement” and together with the Original Security Agreement, the “Prior Security Agreements”) among the parties, on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

WHEREAS the Borrower desires to borrow amounts from the Lender from time to time to finance its purchase of certain motor vehicles and lease agreements relating thereto;

WHEREAS the Lender is willing to loan amounts to the Borrower to finance such purchases in accordance with the terms set forth herein; and

WHEREAS the Lender and the Borrower agree that from time to time the Lender shall be entitled to request that certain Exchange Notes be issued to it in accordance with the terms set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not otherwise defined herein or in the Definitions Appendix to any Exchange Note Supplement entered into pursuant to this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A hereto, or, if not defined therein, in the Titling Trust Agreement.

SECTION 1.2. Other Definitional Provisions.

(a) All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any instrument governed hereby and in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein.

(b) As used in this Agreement, in any instrument governed hereby and in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, accounting terms not defined in this Agreement or in any such instrument, certificate or other document, and accounting terms partly defined in this Agreement or in any such instrument, certificate or other document to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings given to them under generally accepted accounting principles as in effect on the date of this Agreement or any such instrument, certificate or other document, as applicable. To the extent that the definitions of accounting terms in this Agreement or in any such instrument, certificate or other document are inconsistent with the meanings of such terms under generally accepted accounting principles, the definitions contained in this Agreement or in any such instrument, certificate or other document shall control.


(c) The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; Section, Schedule and Exhibit references contained in this Agreement are references to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; and the term “including” shall mean “including without limitation.”

(d) The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms.

(e) Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any instrument or certificate delivered in connection herewith means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented and includes (in the case of agreements or instruments) references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein; references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

SECTION 1.3. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in full the Amended Credit and Security Agreement, with effect as of the date of this Agreement, and the parties confirm that (a) all prior actions made pursuant to the Prior Security Agreements are effective as if made under this Agreement on the date made, and (b) no provision of this Agreement is intended to result in the duplication of any such prior action by any party.

ARTICLE II

THE LENDING FACILITY

SECTION 2.1. Amount and Terms of the Lending Facility.

(a) During the Lending Period, the Lender will make advances (“Advances”) from time to time to the Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Any Advances made hereunder will be repaid by the Borrower and further Advances may be made on a revolving basis by the Lender to the Borrower, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Advances will be made during the Lending Period only (i) on Business Days, and (ii) if, after the related Advance, the Lending Facility Balance does not exceed either (A) the Lending Facility Amount or (B) the Borrowing Base.

(b) The Administrative Agent will record on its books the Lending Facility Balance from time to time based solely on the reports provided by the Servicer pursuant to the Basic Servicing Agreement and taking into account any reduction in the Lending Facility Balance due to the issuance of Exchange Notes in accordance with the terms set forth herein. The failure of the Administrative Agent to make, or any error in making, any such recordation will not affect the obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Lending Facility or the Advances.

 

2


(c) The proceeds of each Advance will be used by the Borrower to purchase from a Dealer one or more Leased Vehicles and/or Lease Agreements. Each such Leased Vehicle and/or Lease Agreement will be maintained as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) The Lender shall make Advances to the Borrower in the amounts required to pay to the relevant Dealers the purchase price for (i) Leased Vehicles or (ii) Lease Agreements that the Servicer has caused such Dealers to assign, or originate on behalf of, the Borrower from time to time pursuant to the related Dealer Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the purchase of Replacement Vehicles pursuant to any Like Kind Exchange, (i) the amount of such Advances will be reduced by the amount received by the Qualified Intermediary pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Basic Servicing Agreement that is used to fund such purchase, and (ii) under the instruction and with the assistance of the Servicer, the Qualified Intermediary will use such amounts to pay the relevant Dealers the purchase price for the Replacement Vehicles that the Servicer has caused the Dealers to assign to the Borrower. The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of Advances to pay the purchase prices of the Leased Vehicles to the related Dealers. Except in connection with the purchase of Replacement Vehicles pursuant to any Like Kind Exchange, in lieu of making Advances directly to the Borrower and having the Borrower pay the Dealers, the Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower, pay or cause to be paid the amounts of such Advances directly to the Dealers to whom payment is due. For the purpose of purchasing Replacement Vehicles pursuant to any Like Kind Exchange, in lieu of paying the Advances to the Borrower and having the Borrower transfer such amounts to the Qualified Intermediary, the Lender, on behalf of the Borrower, may transfer or cause to be transferred the amount of such Advances directly to the Qualified Intermediary.

(e) Repayment of the Lending Facility Balance will be made on each Payment Date in the manner and in the amount set forth in Section 10.2. If on any Payment Date the Borrowing Base as of the start of business on the first (1st) day of the related Collection Period exceeds the Borrowing Base as of the close of business on the last day of the related Collection Period then the amount of such excess (the “Lending Facility Principal Payment Amount”) shall be due and payable on such Payment Date. The entire outstanding Lending Facility Balance will become due and payable on the Lending Facility Termination Date. The Lender, from time to time, may adjust the Advance Rate by providing notice to the Borrower and the Servicer of the new Advance Rate, determined by the Lender in its sole discretion. Such new Advance Rate shall be effective as of the start of business on the first (1st) day of the Collection Period in which such notice is received by the Borrower and the Servicer.

(f) The Lender, in its sole discretion, may terminate the Lending Period upon not less than thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may terminate the Lending Period upon not less than thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lender and the Administrative Agent. At the request of the Borrower, the Lender, in its sole discretion, may extend the Lending Facility Termination Date by notifying the Borrower of the new Lending Facility Termination Date. If no such notice is received by the Borrower by the close of business on the tenth (10th) calendar day prior to the then-current Lending Facility Termination Date, the Lender will be deemed to have declined the request of the Borrower to extend the Lending Facility Termination Date and the Lending Facility Termination Date will remain unchanged.

 

3


(g) At the request of the Borrower, the Lender, in its sole discretion, may increase the Lending Facility Amount by notifying the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the new Lending Facility Amount. The Lender, in its sole discretion, may reduce the Lending Facility Amount upon not less than thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may reduce the Lending Facility Amount upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided, that in either case the Lending Facility Amount may not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Lending Facility Balance as of the date on which the related notice is provided.

SECTION 2.2. Interest on the Lending Facility.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, during each Collection Period until the principal amount of the Lending Facility Balance has been paid in full, the Lending Facility Balance will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Lending Facility Interest Rate for such Collection Period.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all accrued and unpaid interest for each Collection Period will be payable in arrears on the related Payment Date during the term of this Agreement. All accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Lending Facility will be due and payable on the Lending Facility Termination Date.

SECTION 2.3. Payments.

(a) All amounts to be paid hereunder by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lender will be paid by the deposit of such amounts to the account designated by the Lender in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars on the date on which such amount is due. If the date for any payment or prepayment under this Agreement is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest with respect thereto will be payable at the Lending Facility Interest Rate during such extension period.

(b) For so long as AmeriCredit is serving as both the Lender and the Servicer, it may retain for its own account Collections on the Lending Facility Pool to pay amounts payable to it as the Lender, as the Servicer or in any other capacity pursuant to this Agreement, the Basic Servicing Agreement, any Servicing Supplement or any other relevant Basic Document. To the extent that AmeriCredit elects to retain any such amounts, the amounts due to the Servicer or the Lender, as applicable, will be deemed paid in full and will not be payable on any succeeding Payment Date. However, AmeriCredit and the Borrower will account for all payments and deposits in the same manner as if such amounts had been deposited into the Lending Facility Collection Account and distributed in the manner set forth in Article X on the applicable Payment Date.

 

4


SECTION 2.4. Calculation of Interest Rates.

(a) The Lender will calculate the Lending Facility Interest Rate that is applicable for each Interest Period (in each case, at a rate per annum rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1%) and the corresponding amount of interest that is payable on the related Payment Date. The determination of the Lending Facility Interest Rate by the Lender will be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

(b) The Exchange Note Interest Rate for each Exchange Note will be calculated in the manner set forth in the related Exchange Note Supplement.

ARTICLE III

APPOINTMENT OF COLLATERAL AGENT

AND GRANT OF SECURITY

SECTION 3.1. Appointment of Collateral Agent; Duties of Collateral Agent.

(a) The Lender appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

5


(iv) with respect to each Collateral Leased Vehicle that is permitted or required by the Basic Documents to be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Borrower, take all action necessary to cause (A) the security interest granted pursuant to Section 3.2 in such Collateral Leased Vehicle to be released and (B) the evidence of the Collateral Agent as lienholder on the related Certificate of Title to be removed, in each case as prepared and directed by the Servicer;

(v) take the actions required to be taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Article VI following an Lending Facility Default or an Exchange Note Default; and

(vi) take the other actions required to be taken by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

The Borrower will reimburse the Collateral Agent for all liabilities and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent, including costs of collection, and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Collateral Agent’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts, but excluding any expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent through the Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct, negligence, or bad faith. The obligations of the Borrower to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) will survive the termination of this Agreement and resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent. Any expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence of a Lending Facility Default or an Exchange Note Default are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 3.2. Security Interest.

(a) The Borrower hereby Grants to the Collateral Agent, not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising). This Agreement shall constitute a “security agreement” under applicable law.

(b) The foregoing grant is made to secure (i) the payment of principal of and interest on and any other amounts owed in respect of, the Advances and any Exchange Notes and (ii) compliance by the Borrower with the provisions of this Agreement (the obligations described in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Secured Obligations”), in each case for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(c) The Borrower authorizes the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer to file any Record or Records (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC), including financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as are necessary or advisable to perfect, and continue the perfection of, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, including any amendments or supplements hereto. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in any manner as the Collateral Agent may determine is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

 

6

The Collateral Agent will release property from the security interest granted pursuant to Section 3.2 only pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement. The Collateral Agent may fully rely upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in connection with any such release. Counsel rendering any such Opinion of Counsel may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Collateral Agent, in connection with any such action.

(b) The Collateral Agent will be deemed to release, and does release, any and all Liens and other rights and interests it possesses or may possess from time to time, without further action of the parties, in, to and under a Collateral Leased Vehicle, the proceeds thereof and the rights of the related Borrower and/or AmeriCredit (individually or as Servicer) under any contract or agreement for the sale or other disposition of such Collateral Leased Vehicle (including pursuant to any insurance policy with respect to or covering such Collateral Leased Vehicle), effective immediately prior to the sale or other disposition of such Collateral Leased Vehicle (provided that the Servicer will deposit all proceeds of such Collateral Leased Vehicle in accordance with the Basic Servicing Agreement and, if applicable, the related Servicing Supplement thereto).

(c) No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Collateral Agent as provided in this Section 3.3 is required to verify the Collateral Agent’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or require evidence as to the application of any monies.

ARTICLE IV

THE EXCHANGE NOTES

SECTION 4.1. Issuance of Exchange Notes; Form.

(a) From time to time the Lender may direct the Borrower to issue all or a portion of the Lending Facility Balance in the form of one or more definitive exchange notes (each an “Exchange Note”). The Lender and the Borrower will agree to the terms of each Exchange Note, which terms will be set forth in a supplement to this Agreement (each, an “Exchange Note Supplement”).

(b) Each Exchange Note Supplement will designate all or a portion of the Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicles included in the Lending Facility Pool as the “Designated Pool” with respect to the related Exchange Note. Following any designation of Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicles to a Designated Pool such Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicles will no longer be a part of the Lending Facility Pool and may not be allocated to any other Designated Pool. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicles are reallocated from a Designated Pool in accordance with this Agreement, the Basic Servicing Agreement, the related Exchange Note Supplement or the related Servicing Supplement, then from the time of such reallocation they will no longer be part of such Designated Pool and instead will be part of the Lending Facility Pool and will be available for further allocation to a Designated Pool in accordance with this Section 4.1(b).

(c) Each Exchange Note will be payable solely from Collections on the Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicles in the related Designated Pool in accordance with the priorities in Article X and the applicable Exchange Note Supplement. For purposes of determining the Collections that are applicable to any Designated Pool, the Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicles included in such Designated Pool will be deemed to have been included in such Designated Pool from and after the Cutoff Date specified in the related Exchange Note Supplement.

(d) Each Exchange Note, together with the Administrative Agent’s certificate of authentication thereon, shall be issued in definitive form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the related Exchange Note Supplement, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the Authorized Officers executing such Exchange Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Exchange Notes. Any portion of the text of any Exchange Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Exchange Note. Any Exchange Note issued prior to the amendment and restatement of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the fact that it is in the form set forth in (i) Exhibit A to the Original Credit and Security Agreement or (ii) Exhibit A to Amended Credit and Security Agreement.

 

8


(e) The definitive Exchange Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Exchange Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Exchange Notes.

(f) Each Exchange Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

(g) Each Exchange Note will, upon its execution and delivery, be issued to, and be payable in favor of, the Lender or such other Person as the Lender may direct in writing to the Borrower. Upon the issuance of each Exchange Note, the Lending Facility Balance will be reduced by an amount equal to the initial Exchange Note Balance of such Exchange Note and, if any Exchange Note is a revolving note, the Lending Facility Balance will be further reduced by an amount equal to any subsequent increase in the Exchange Note Balance of such Exchange Note subsequent to its Exchange Note Issuance Date, in all cases as reflected on the books and records of the Administrative Agent maintained pursuant to Section 2.1(b).

(h) No Collateral Lease or Collateral Leased Vehicle will be reallocated from a Designated Pool to the Lending Facility Pool except (i) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, the related Exchange Note Supplement and the related Servicing Supplement or (ii) with the prior written consent of all related Exchange Noteholders.

SECTION 4.2. Issuance of Exchange Notes; Execution, Authentication and Delivery.

(a) The Exchange Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Borrower by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on any Exchange Note may be manual, electronic or facsimile.

(b) Exchange Notes bearing the manual, electronic or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Borrower shall bind the Borrower, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Exchange Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Exchange Notes.

(c) Prior to or concurrently with the delivery of any Exchange Note to the Administrative Agent for authentication, the Borrower, the Lender and the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver an Exchange Note Supplement which will specify the principal terms of such new Exchange Note or Exchange Notes, as applicable.

(d) Each Exchange Note Supplement will specify:

 

9


(i) the date on which the related Exchange Note(s) will be issued (each, an “Exchange Note Issuance Date”);

(ii) the class(es) of the Exchange Note(s) being issued;

(iii) the initial Exchange Note Balance of the related Exchange Note(s) being issued;

(iv) an initial Schedule of Designated Pool Assets listing the Collateral Lease Agreements and the Collateral Leased Vehicles initially included in the Designated Pool relating to the related Exchange Note(s);

(v) the Cutoff Date for the Designated Pool relating to the related Exchange Note(s);

(vi) the Exchange Note Interest Rate for the Exchange Note(s) being issued (and, in the case of any Exchange Note that will bear interest at a floating rate, the manner of determining such floating rate);

(vii) a specification of (A) those Exchange Note Defaults set forth in Section 6.3 that are inapplicable with respect to such Exchange Note(s) (if any), (B) any modifications to those Exchange Note Defaults set forth in Section 6.3 that shall be applicable with respect to such Exchange Note(s) and (C) any additional Exchange Note Defaults that shall be applicable with respect to such Exchange Note(s);

(viii) the Final Scheduled Payment Date for the Exchange Note(s) being issued; and

(ix) if the related Exchange Note(s) are to be issued in connection with a financing involving such Exchange Note(s), whether any Rating Agency will provide a rating of the Exchange Note(s) or any securities issued in connection with such financing.

(i) the Exchange Note Supplement, executed by each party thereto other than the Administrative Agent;

(ii) the Exchange Note, including the unexecuted certificate of authentication;

(iii) written direction from the Lender to execute the certificate of authentication; and

10


(f) Following satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(e), the Administrative Agent will (i) acknowledge the Exchange Note Supplement and (ii) authenticate and deliver the related Exchange Note(s) in the form, with the principal amount and with the other terms specified in such Exchange Note Supplement.

(g) No Exchange Note will be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or any Exchange Note Supplement or be valid for any purpose, unless a certificate of authentication appears on such Exchange Note, and such certificate is substantially in the form provided for with respect to such Exchange Note and is executed by the Administrative Agent by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its authorized signatories. The presence of such a certificate of authentication upon an Exchange Note will be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Exchange Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Agreement.

(h) Each Exchange Note will state that (i) any claim that the applicable Exchange Noteholder may seek to enforce at any time against the Borrower will be limited in recourse to the related Designated Pool, (ii) if, notwithstanding clause (i), the Exchange Noteholder of such Exchange Note is deemed to have any claim against the assets of the Borrower other than the assets included in the related Designated Pool, such claim will be subordinate to the payment in full, including post-petition interest, of the claims of the Lender and the Exchange Noteholders of all other Exchange Notes and (iii) such recitation constitutes an enforceable subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(i) The Lender hereby agrees that (i) any claim that it may seek to enforce at any time against the Borrower will be limited in recourse to the Lending Facility Pool and (ii) if, notwithstanding clause (i), the Lender is deemed to have any claim against the assets of the Borrower included in any Designated Pool, such claim will be subordinate to the payment in full, including post-petition interest, of the claims of the Exchange Noteholders of the related Exchange Note and (iii) such recitation constitutes an enforceable subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 4.3. Exchange Noteholders Entitled to Benefits of this Agreement. AmeriCredit will be the initial Exchange Noteholder of each Exchange Note. Any transferee or pledgee of an Exchange Note will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a UCC Notice of Security Interest in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit B. Notwithstanding the fact that a transferee or pledgee of an Exchange Note fails to deliver such notice or comply with the other terms of this Agreement, including Section 4.2(g) and Section 4.4, with respect to such transfer, such transferee or pledgee will become an Exchange Noteholder for all purposes of this Agreement. No Person holding an Exchange Note will be treated as a Secured Party for purposes of this Agreement unless such Person has complied with the terms of this Section 4.3.

SECTION 4.4. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Borrower shall cause to be kept a register (the “Exchange Note Register”) in which, subject to reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Borrower shall provide for the registration of Exchange Notes and the registration of transfers of Exchange Notes. The Administrative Agent initially shall be the “Exchange Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Exchange Notes and transfers of Exchange Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Exchange Note Registrar, the Borrower shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Exchange Note Registrar.

 

11


If a Person other than the Administrative Agent is appointed by the Borrower as Exchange Note Registrar, the Borrower will give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of the appointment of such Exchange Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Exchange Note Register, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to inspect the Exchange Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof at its own expense, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Exchange Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Exchange Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Exchange Notes.

(b) The Exchange Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other applicable securities laws and will not be listed on any exchange. An Exchange Noteholder may only offer, sell or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, an Exchange Note pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all other applicable securities laws. Transfers of the Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the related Exchange Note Supplement.

The Exchange Notes shall bear the following legend:

“THIS EXCHANGE NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES THAT SUCH EXCHANGE NOTE IS BEING ACQUIRED NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR TRANSFERRED ONLY TO A QUALIFIED PURCHASER PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE AND ANY SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL BE REQUIRED TO CERTIFY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT SUCH HOLDER OR SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS AWARE THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A. THE HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF SUCH EXCHANGE NOTES FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO ABOVE.

 

12


NO RESALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF ANY EXCHANGE NOTE SHALL BE MADE TO ANY TRANSFEREE UNLESS: (A) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT, AND WILL NOT ACQUIRE THE EXCHANGE NOTE ON BEHALF OR WITH THE ASSETS OF, AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), THAT IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF ERISA ANY OTHER “PLAN” THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975(e)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE “PLAN ASSETS” PURSUANT TO 29 C.F.R. SECTION 2510.3-101 OR A GOVERNMENTAL, NON-U.S., CHURCH OR OTHER PLAN WHICH IS SUBJECT TO ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. LAW THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE (“SIMILAR LAW”) OR (B) ITS ACQUISITION, HOLDING AND DISPOSITION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTE (OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN) WILL NOT CONSTITUTE OR RESULT IN A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR, IN THE CASE OF A GOVERNMENTAL, NON-U.S., CHURCH OR OTHER PLAN, A VIOLATION OF ANY SIMILAR LAW.

EACH HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL NOT TRANSFER THIS EXCHANGE NOTE OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN EXCEPT TO A PURCHASER WHO CAN MAKE THE ABOVE REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS PURCHASING.

THE HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EXCHANGE NOTE REGISTRAR AND THE BORROWER RESERVE THE RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION AS THE EXCHANGE NOTE REGISTRAR OR THE BORROWER MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE PROPOSED SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.”

(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Exchange Note, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Borrower shall execute, and the Administrative Agent shall authenticate and the Exchange Noteholder shall obtain from the Administrative Agent, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Exchange Notes in any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Exchange Noteholder, Exchange Notes may be exchanged for other Exchange Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Exchange Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Exchange Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Borrower shall execute, and the Administrative Agent shall authenticate and the Exchange Noteholder shall obtain from the Administrative Agent, the Exchange Notes which the Exchange Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Exchange Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Credit and Security Agreement and the related Exchange Note Supplement, as the Exchange Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

13


Every Exchange Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent duly executed by, the Exchange Noteholder thereof or such Exchange Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Exchange Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Exchange Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

No service charge shall be made to an Exchange Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes, but the Borrower may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be required to make and the Exchange Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Exchange Notes selected for redemption or of any Exchange Note for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Exchange Note.

SECTION 4.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Exchange Notes.

If (i) any mutilated Exchange Note is surrendered to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Exchange Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Administrative Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Borrower and the Administrative Agent harmless, then, in the absence of notice from the Borrower, the Exchange Note Registrar or the Administrative Agent that such Exchange Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC (a “Protected Purchaser”), and provided that the requirements of Sections 8-405 and 8-406 of the UCC are met, the Borrower shall execute, and upon receipt of a written request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Exchange Note, a replacement Exchange Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Exchange Note, but not a mutilated Exchange Note, shall have become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Exchange Note, the Borrower may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Exchange Note when so due or payable or upon the Exchange Note Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Exchange Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Exchange Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a Protected Purchaser of the original Exchange Note in lieu of which such replacement Exchange Note was issued presents for payment such original Exchange Note, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such replacement Exchange Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Exchange Note from such Person to whom such replacement Exchange Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a Protected Purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in connection therewith.

 

14


Upon the issuance of any replacement Exchange Note under this Section, the Borrower may require the payment by the Exchange Noteholder of such Exchange Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent) connected therewith.

Every replacement Exchange Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Exchange Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Borrower, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Exchange Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Exchange Notes duly issued hereunder and under the related Exchange Note Supplement.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Exchange Notes.

SECTION 4.6. Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) Each Exchange Note will accrue interest at the applicable Exchange Note Interest Rate, and such interest will be due and payable on each applicable Payment Date. Interest and principal on the Exchange Notes will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to the account of such Exchange Noteholder (as designated by such Exchange Noteholder to the Exchange Note Registrar on or prior to the date such payment is to be made) except that the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Exchange Note on a Payment Date, an Exchange Note Redemption Date or the Final Scheduled Payment Date will be payable in accordance with Section 4.6(b). Amounts withheld under the Code or any State or local tax law by any Person from a payment to any Exchange Noteholder of interest and/or principal will be considered as having been paid by the Borrower to such Exchange Noteholder for all purposes of this Agreement and the related Exchange Note Supplement.

(b) The principal of each Exchange Note will be payable in accordance with Article X and the related Exchange Note Supplement. Principal payments will be due on each Exchange Note on each Payment Date in the amount set forth in the applicable Exchange Note Supplement. The entire outstanding Exchange Note Balance of each Exchange Note will become due and payable on the Final Scheduled Payment Date with respect to such Exchange Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Exchange Note Balance of any Exchange Note will be due and payable on the date on which an Exchange Note Default with respect to such Exchange Note has occurred and is continuing, if the applicable Exchange Noteholder has declared such Exchange Note to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 6.3(c). The final installment of principal of each Exchange Note will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Exchange Note to the Exchange Note Registrar.

(c) If funds are expected to be available for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of an Exchange Note on a Payment Date, then the Administrative Agent will notify the applicable Exchange Noteholder of the date on which the Borrower expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Exchange Note will be paid not later than five (5) days prior to such date. Such notice will specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Exchange Note and will specify the place where such Exchange Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

 

15


(d) Interest will be payable on each Exchange Note on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Exchange Note Interest Payment Amount.

SECTION 4.7. Cancellation of Exchange Notes. In connection with an optional redemption in full of an Exchange Note pursuant to the applicable Servicing Supplement or Exchange Note Supplement, the Servicer (provided, that the Servicer and the Lender are the same entity), by notice to the Borrower, the Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, may, pursuant to such Servicing Supplement or Exchange Note Supplement, as applicable, request that the Borrower cancel the Exchange Note. Upon such request, the Borrower will, pursuant to this Section 4.7, cancel the Exchange Note and, upon cancellation, if no other Exchange Notes related to such Designated Pool are Outstanding, the applicable Designated Pool will be deemed to no longer exist and the Collateral Lease Agreements and related Collateral Leased Vehicles included in such Designated Pool will be reallocated to the Lending Facility Pool.

SECTION 4.8. Acceptance of Terms of this Agreement. Each Exchange Noteholder, by accepting the related Exchange Note, will be deemed to have agreed to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with the same effect as if such Exchange Noteholder had been a party to this Agreement. A provision that is substantively identical to this Section 4.8 will be included in each Exchange Note Supplement and each Exchange Note.

SECTION 8.1. Indemnification of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The Borrower will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities incurred by it in connection with the acceptance, administration and performance of their respective duties and obligations under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by it in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement, but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, through the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s, respectively, own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

 

32


SECTION 8.2. Indemnification Procedures. Promptly upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against any such Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect of such Proceeding is to be made under Section 8.1, notify the Borrower of the commencement of such Proceeding. Failure by the Indemnified Person to so notify the Borrower will not relieve the Borrower of its obligations under this Section 8.2; provided, that the Borrower has not been materially prejudiced by such failure to so notify and notice is given within one-hundred and eighty (180) days of the Indemnified Person learning of such Proceeding.

The Borrower may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of any such Proceeding at its own expense, and no settlement of such Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Borrower and such Indemnified Person, which approvals will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. After notice from the Borrower to the Indemnified Person of the intention of the Borrower to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and so long as the Borrower so assumes the defense of such Proceeding in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, the Borrower will not be liable for any legal expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Borrower, on one hand, and an Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in which case the Borrower will pay for the separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and such Indemnified Person.

SECTION 8.3. Survival.

The payment obligations of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article VIII will survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent and the termination of this Agreement. When the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Lending Facility Default or an Exchange Note Default the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(i) except to the extent of funds allocated to such Exchange Noteholder pursuant to this Article X and any applicable Exchange Note Supplement, any claim against the Borrower in respect of any Secured Obligations under this Agreement by (A) the Lender will be limited in recourse to the assets of the Borrower that are included in the Lending Facility Pool and (B) any Exchange Noteholder will be limited in recourse to the assets of the Borrower that are included in the related Designated Pool; and

(ii) none of the Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Exchange Noteholder has any right, title or interest in or to any other assets of the Borrower (collectively, the “Other Assets”).

(e) The Lender, by entering into this Agreement, each Exchange Noteholder, by taking delivery of an Exchange Note, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each such Person, irrevocably makes the election afforded to secured creditors by Section 1111(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code to receive the treatment afforded by Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any secured claim that such Person may have at any time against any Other Assets (including any Series Interest of the Borrower other than the Series CSA Interest).

(f) This Section 10.7 is for the third party benefit of the holders, pledgees or other beneficiaries of any Other Liabilities and will survive the termination of this Agreement.

If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Exchange Note Supplement and the Credit and Security Agreement, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this 20[    ]-[    ] Exchange Note on a Payment Date, then the Administrative Agent will notify the 20[    ]-[    ] Exchange Noteholder of the date on which the Borrower expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on this 20[    ]-[    ] Exchange Note will be paid not later than [    ] days prior to such date.
