Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Background

On March 23, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Bank”) and Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, N.A. (“WFDTC”, and collectively with Wells Fargo Bank, “Wells Fargo”) entered into a definitive agreement with Computershare Trust Company, National Association (“CTCNA”), Computershare Delaware Trust Company (“CDTC”, and collectively with CTCNA, “Computershare”) and Computershare Limited (“CPU Ltd”) to sell substantially all of their Corporate Trust Services (“CTS”) business. Effective as of November 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the sale closed, and virtually all CTS employees of Wells Fargo, along with most existing CTS systems, technology, and offices, transferred to Computershare. On the Closing Date, for some of the transactions in Wells Fargo’s CTS business, Wells Fargo transferred its roles and the duties, rights, and liabilities with such roles under the relevant transaction agreements to CTCNA or CDTC.

On March 23, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, WFDTC, CTCNA, CDTC, and CPU Ltd entered into a Servicing Agreement, which was amended and restated as of October 31, 2021 (as amended, the “Servicing Agreement”). For those transactions in Wells Fargo’s CTS business where one or more of its roles did not transfer to CTCNA or CDTC on the Closing Date (the “Non-Transferred Role(s) Transactions”), CTCNA or CDTC is performing such roles and duties as set forth in the relevant transaction agreement on behalf of Wells Fargo as its agent pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.

As of the Closing Date, ACAR Leasing Ltd. (the “Titling Trust”) was a Non-Transferred Role(s) Transaction, and CTCNA performed all or virtually all of Wells Fargo Bank’s roles pursuant to (i) the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2018 (the “GMALT Credit and Security Agreement”), among the Titling Trust, as borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc., d/b/a GM Financial (“GM Financial”), as lender (in such capacity, the “Lender”), as servicer, (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), CTCNA, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and Wells Fargo Bank, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and (ii) the Third Amended and Restated Servicing Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2018 (the “GMALT Servicing Agreement” and together with the GMALT Credit and Security Agreement, the “Transaction Documents,” and each, individually, a “Transaction Document”), among the Titling Trust, the Servicer, APGO Trust, as Settlor of ACAR Leasing Ltd., and Wells Fargo Bank, as Collateral Agent, provided that pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the appointment of CTCNA as agent to Wells Fargo Bank did not relieve Wells Fargo Bank of responsibility for its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents.

Transfer of Role for the Titling Trust

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to disclose the amendment of certain definitive agreements of the Titling Trust.

On October 3, 2022, each of the Transaction Documents were amended and restated by the amended and restated documents listed in Item 9.01(d) below by each of the parties to the Transaction Documents listed in Item 1.01 above. The amendment and restatement of the Transaction Documents were completed in connection with the transfer of Role from Wells Fargo Bank to CTCNA pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2022 (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Bank, CTCNA and GM Financial, listed in Item 9.01(d) below, and in accordance with the amendment provisions of each applicable Transaction Document.

 

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Transfer of Role for the Titling Trust Agreement

On or prior to October 3, 2022, (a) Wells Fargo Bank fully transferred, and CTCNA assumed, the duties, rights, and liabilities of the Collateral Agent (the “Role”) under the Transaction Documents pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and (b) CTCNA is therefore no longer performing the Role as agent for Wells Fargo Bank pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. As of October 3, 2022, Wells Fargo Bank is no longer responsible for the duties, rights, and liabilities of the Role under the Transaction Documents.


Therefore, as of October 3, 2022, with respect to the Titling Trust, the Servicing Agreement was terminated.

 

Item 6.02

Change of Servicer or Trustee.

Background

See the “Background” section in Item 1.01.

Transfer of Role for the Titling Trust

As of October 3, 2022, Wells Fargo Bank fully transferred, and CTCNA assumed, the duties, rights, and liabilities of the Role under the Transaction Documents.

Reg AB Disclosure for Computershare Trust Company, National Association

Reg AB Item 1108 and Item 1109 Disclosure

As of October 3, 2022, CTCNA is acting in the Role, pursuant to the Transaction Documents. CTCNA is a national banking association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPU Ltd, an Australian financial services company with approximately $6.093 billion (USD) in assets as of June 30, 2022. CPU Ltd and its affiliates have been engaging in financial service activities, including stock transfer related services, since 1997, and corporate trust related services since 2000. CTCNA provides corporate trust, custody, securities transfer, cash management, investment management and other financial and fiduciary services, and has been engaged in providing financial services, including corporate trust services, since 2000. The transaction parties may maintain commercial relationships with CTCNA and its affiliates. CTCNA maintains corporate trust offices at 9062 Old Annapolis Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045-1951 (among other locations), and its office for correspondence related to certificate transfer services is located at 600 South 4th Street, 7th Floor, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415.

CTCNA has provided corporate trust related services since 2000 through its predecessors and affiliates. CTCNA provides trustee services for a variety of transactions and asset types, including corporate and municipal bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and collateralized debt obligations. As of June 30, 2022, CTCNA was acting in some cases as the named trustee, indenture trustee or collateral agent, and in most cases as agent for the named trustee or indenture trustee, on approximately 527 asset-backed securities transactions with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $123 billion (USD). The Collateral Agent maintains a corporate trust office for correspondence purposes at 600 South 4th Street, MAC: N9300-070, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415, Attn: Asset-Backed Securities Department.

As a result of CTCNA not being a deposit-taking institution, any accounts that the Collateral Agent is required to maintain pursuant to the Transaction Documents are currently maintained at Wells Fargo Bank. Any change in location of such accounts by CTCNA will be done so in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, including any applicable eligibility criteria set forth in the Transaction Documents.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of October 3, 2022 (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. D/B/A GM FINANCIAL, a Delaware corporation (“GM Financial”), as lender (in such capacity, the “Lender”) and as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), COMPUTERSHARE TRUST COMPANY, N.A., a national banking association (“Computershare”), 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 Agreement”), as previously amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2013 (the “Amended Credit and Security Agreement”) and the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2018 (the “Second Amended Credit and Security Agreement” and together with the Original Security Agreement and the Amended Credit and Security Agreement, the “Prior Security Agreements”), in each case, among the Borrower, the Lender, the Servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, 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 Second 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.

 

2


(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.

(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,

 

3


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.

(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 GM Financial 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 GM Financial 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, GM Financial 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.

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.

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.

 

11


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.

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.

 

15


(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.

(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.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 7.1. Duties of the Administrative Agent.

(a) If an Exchange Note Default or a Lending Facility Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent will exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

INDEMNIFICATION

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.

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

 

32


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.

The Borrower irrevocably agrees that (i) the Borrower will be bound by all actions of the Servicer taken pursuant to this Section 11.1, (ii) the Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are authorized to accept any payment, notice, request, demand or similar item required or permitted under this Agreement from the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower and (iii) the execution and delivery by the Servicer to the Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent of any notice, request, demand or similar item or the taking by the Servicer of any other action described in this Section 11.1 will be conclusive evidence, as among the Borrower, the Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, of the Servicer’s authority to execute and deliver such notice, request, demand or similar item or take such other action on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 11.2. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. Upon any application or request by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent to take any action under any provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall furnish to the Collateral Agent (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with and (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Agreement shall include:

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.

Whenever in this Agreement, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Collateral Agent, it is provided that the Borrower shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Borrower’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Borrower to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Collateral Agent’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, comments, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may be consolidated in one instrument.

REVERSE OF 20[__]-[__] EXCHANGE NOTE

This 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note is one of the duly authorized issue of Exchange Notes, which may be issued under the Credit and Security Agreement, to which Credit and Security Agreement and all Exchange Note Supplements that are supplemental thereto reference is made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Borrower, the Lender, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholders. This 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note is subject to all terms of the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note, the terms of the Credit and Security Agreement and the terms of the Exchange Note Supplement, the Exchange Note Supplement will prevail.

Interest on and principal of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note will be payable in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section [__] of the Exchange Note Supplement.

Principal of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Exchange Note Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date. “Payment Date” means the [__]th day of each calendar month or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day, commencing [_____], 20[__].

As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note will be due and payable on the Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note will be due and payable on the date on which an Exchange Note Default with respect to this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note has occurred and is continuing and the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder has declared this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note to be immediately due and payable, or the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note has automatically been declared immediately due and payable, in each case in the manner provided in the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement.

Payments of interest on this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note, will be made either by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to the account of the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder or an account designated by the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor if such 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder has provided to the Exchange Note Registrar appropriate written instructions at least [__] Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check mailed first-class mail postage prepaid to the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Exchange Note Register prior to such Payment Date, except that the final installment of principal payable on this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note on a Payment Date or the Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date will be payable only upon the presentation and surrender of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note in the manner set forth the Credit and Security Agreement. Such payments will be made without requiring that this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date or due to a reallocation of any Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicle from the 20[__]-[__] Designated Pool will be binding upon all future 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholders of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note and of any

20[__]-[__] Exchange Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. 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. Such notice will specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note and will specify the place where this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

As provided in the Exchange Note Supplement, the principal amount of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note may be increased or decreased from time to time, in the manner and to the extent described in Section [__] of the Exchange Note Supplement.

The transfer of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer specified on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note may be registered on the Exchange Note Register upon surrender of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent duly executed by the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder hereof or the 20[__]-[__] 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, and thereupon a new 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

The 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder, by accepting this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note acknowledges and agrees that (i) if an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Borrower, any claim that the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder may seek to enforce at any time against the Borrower will be limited in recourse to the 20[__]-[__] Designated Pool and (ii) if, notwithstanding clause (i), the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder is deemed to have any claim against the assets of the Borrower other than the assets included in the 20[__]-[__] Designated Pool, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), such claim will be subordinate to the payment in full, including post-petition interest, of the claims of the Lender and the holders of (A) all other Exchange Notes and (B) in the case of assets allocated to a Series Interest other than the Series CSA Interest, all other asset-backed securities, the payments on which are derived primarily from collections on designated assets of the Borrower and all related hedging arrangements.

THE RECITATION SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH WILL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE AN ENFORCEABLE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(A) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

 

7


The 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder, by accepting this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note, covenants and agrees that for a period of one (1) year and one (1) day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period) after payment in full of all obligations under the Credit and Security Agreement, the Exchange Note Supplement, the Exchange Notes, the outstanding Certificates and any other outstanding Securities, it will not institute against the Borrower or the Settlor, or join in any institution against the Borrower or the Settlor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note, the Credit and Security Agreement, the Exchange Note Supplement or any of the other Program Documents.

The Borrower has entered into the Exchange Note Supplement and this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note is issued with the intention that, for U.S. federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note will qualify as indebtedness of the Borrower. The 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder, by its acceptance of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note, will be deemed to agree to treat this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note for U.S. federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Borrower.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and any agent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may treat the Person in whose name this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Exchange Note Supplement) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note be overdue, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any such agent will be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Credit and Security Agreement permits the amendment thereof (in any manner and for any purpose) by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Lender and the Administrative Agent so long as each Exchange Noteholder of an Outstanding Exchange Note has consented to such amendment. The Credit and Security Agreement also permits the amendment thereof to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth therein without the consent of the Noteholders; provided certain conditions are satisfied. Any such consent by the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder will be conclusive and binding upon the 20[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder and upon all future holders of this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note and of any 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note.

The term “Borrower”, as used in this 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note, includes any successor to the Borrower under the Credit and Security Agreement.

This 20[__]-[__] Exchange Note is issuable only in registered form as provided in the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

(c) The Servicer may retain subservicers or agents by agreement, power of attorney or otherwise to assist the Servicer in performing its servicing functions; provided, however, that any delegation of duties to any subservicer or agent shall not relieve the Servicer of any of its obligations hereunder.

Except where otherwise noted in the definition of “Lease Documents”, the Servicer may originate and/or maintain each Lease Document as an image, fiche or electronic record rather than in original form. The Servicer shall not be required to physically segregate the Lease Documents and related accounts, records and computer systems from any other leases, leased vehicle and related information and related documentation from other leases or leased vehicles that it services. In accordance with the Customary Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic examinations of a representative sample of the Lease Documents and of the related accounts, records and computer systems to verify compliance with the Customary Servicing Practices.

The Servicer shall promptly report to the Titling Trust, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent any material failure on the part of the Servicer to hold or retain possession of the Lease Documents and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

(e) The Servicer shall implement reasonable security measures and procedures to protect data, records and other documents related to its duties hereunder from unauthorized access by third parties.

SECTION 2.3. Custodial Duties of Servicer. The Servicer shall serve as custodian of the Lease Documents for the benefit of the Titling Trust and the Collateral Agent.

In its capacity as custodian, the Servicer shall maintain possession of the Lease Documents for the benefit of and as bailee for the Titling Trust and the Collateral Agent and all present and future Secured Parties. All Lease Documents shall be identified and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access.

(a) In connection with the filing of the application for each Certificate of Title, the Servicer shall arrange, or cause to be arranged, in accordance with applicable law, for the related Registrar of Titles to issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Servicer a Certificate of Title identifying the Titling Trust (subject to the applicable terms of any Servicing Supplements, by the use of any Titling Trust Permissible Name or the use of a quoted phrase or such other similar phrase as will satisfy the Registrar of Titles in each relevant jurisdiction, or such other designation(s) as the Servicer shall determine) as the owner of the related Leased Vehicle and the Collateral Agent as lienholder with respect to the related Leased Vehicle (or with respect to Collateral Leased Vehicles with a Lease Date on or prior to December 31, 2022, the Certificate of Title may list Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as lienholder on such Certificate of Title, provided that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. has validly assigned its security interest in such Collateral Leased Vehicle to the Collateral Agent); provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to require the Servicer to receive a paper Certificate of Title in any State where the Servicer and the related Registrar of Titles have agreed to record and disclose the interests of the Titling Trust and the Collateral Agent in any electronic title recording system maintained by such Registrar of Titles. The Certificates of Title shall be held by the Servicer. The Servicer shall direct each Dealer, Assigning Affiliate or other entity selling Leased Vehicles to the Titling Trust, assigning Lease Agreements to the Titling Trust or causing Lease Agreements to be assigned to the Titling Trust to cause each Certificate of Title to identify the owner of the Leased

The Servicer shall further direct each Dealer, Assigning Affiliate or other entity selling Leased Vehicles to the Titling Trust assigning Lease Agreements or causing Lease Agreements to be assigned to the Titling Trust to cause each Certificate of Title to identify the lienholder with respect to the related Leased Vehicle as the Collateral Agent (or with respect to Collateral Leased Vehicles with a Lease Date on or prior to December 31, 2022, the Certificate of Title may identify Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as lienholder on such Certificate of Title, provided that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. has validly assigned its lien in such Collateral Leased Vehicle to the Collateral Agent).

(b) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the related Registrar of Titles or the Customary Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall direct each Dealer or Assigning Affiliate to include an address as specified by the Servicer as the mailing address for the Certificate of Title, the address of the related lessee as the mailing address for the vehicle registration, and otherwise to comply with the Servicer’s normal requirements under the Dealer Agreements with respect to each Lease Agreement, Leased Vehicle and Certificate of Title. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or the applicable Registrar of Titles, so long as a Leased Vehicle is owned by the Titling Trust, the Servicer shall not permit the related Certificate of Title to identify any entity, or to provide for any Liens to be noted thereon, other than in compliance with Section 2.4(a).

(c) Upon transfer to or from the Titling Trust of legal title to any Leased Vehicle, the Servicer shall cause all applicable Taxes to be paid and will comply with all applicable federal and State law requirements related to the transfer of title to such Leased Vehicle. The Servicer shall remain liable for all applicable Taxes if not paid.

SECTION 2.5. Initial Funding of Payments to Dealers and Assigning Affiliates. In the ordinary course of its business, GM Financial shall maintain or enter into Dealer Agreements with Dealers eligible to generate Lease Agreements. GM Financial shall direct each Dealer and Assigning Affiliate (a) to assign to the Titling Trust all Lease Agreements and the related Leased Vehicles, (b) to transfer to the Titling Trust all Lease Agreements and the related Leased Vehicles and (c) to apply or caused to be applied for the Certificates of Title to the Leased Vehicles sold to the Titling Trust by such Dealer or Assigning Affiliate to be issued in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 2.4(a). GM Financial will instruct each Dealer and Assigning Affiliate to deliver the applicable Lease Documents to or upon the order of the Servicer. The Titling Trust shall pay each Dealer and Assigning Affiliate an amount agreed upon between the Titling Trust or the Servicer and such Dealer or Assigning Affiliate from Advances made by the Lender to the Titling Trust under the Credit and Security Agreement.

SECTION 2.6. Servicer’s Repurchase Obligations and Option.

(a) The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto and the parties to the Titling Trust Agreement that, as to each Lease Agreement and Leased Vehicle as of the relevant Assignment Date, the provisions of Section 2.4 with respect to such Lease Agreement and the application(s) for the related Certificate(s) of Title have been satisfied. The

 

8


Titling Trust shall rely on such representation and warranty in accepting each Lease Agreement and Leased Vehicle. Such representation and warranty shall survive the transfer of each Lease Agreement and each related Leased Vehicle, and delivery of the related Lease Documents to the Titling Trust pursuant to the Titling Trust Agreement and this Agreement.

(b) Upon (i) discovery by the Servicer or a Secured Party, or (ii) the receipt of written notice by or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee that the representation or warranty in Section 2.6(a) was incorrect as of the related Assignment Date in a manner that materially adversely affects the interest of the Titling Trust in the related Lease Agreement or a related Leased Vehicle or the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the related Lease Agreement or a related Leased Vehicle, the Person discovering such incorrectness (if other than the Servicer) shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer and the Collateral Agent. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Exchange Note Supplement or Servicing Supplement, on or before the last day of the Collection Period that ends at least thirty (30) days after the Servicer discovers or is notified of such incorrectness, the Servicer shall cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition with respect to which the representation or warranty was incorrect as of the related Assignment Date (it being understood that the filing of a corrected application for a Certificate of Title with the appropriate Registrar of Titles shall constitute a cure for any breach of a representation or warranty related to the failure of the Servicer to hold title in the manner described in such Section). If the Servicer will be unable or unwilling to cure such circumstance or condition by such date, on the Payment Date following the Collection Period that ends at least thirty (30) days after the Servicer discovers or is notified of the incorrectness of the representation or warranty in question, the Servicer shall (i) deposit (or cause to be deposited) into the related Collection Account an amount equal to the Repurchase Payment and (ii) if such Lease Agreement or Leased Vehicle is (A) part of a Designated Pool, direct the Owner Trustee either to reallocate such Lease Agreement or Leased Vehicle from the related Designated Pool to the Lending Facility Pool or to cause such Lease Agreement or Leased Vehicle to be conveyed to the related Dealer or Assigning Affiliate as described below or to the Servicer or (B) part of the Lending Facility Pool, unless otherwise directed by the Servicer, direct the Owner Trustee to cause the Lease Agreement or Leased Vehicle to be conveyed to the related Dealer or Assigning Affiliate as described below or to the Servicer. If the Servicer receives funds from a Dealer or Assigning Affiliate pursuant to such Dealer’s or Assigning Affiliate’s obligation under a Dealer Agreement or otherwise to repurchase a Lease Agreement or Leased Vehicle that is required to be repurchased or reallocated pursuant to this Section, the Servicer shall return to such Dealer or Assigning Affiliate the Lease Agreement and/or Leased Vehicle, as applicable, and any Certificate of Title that has been issued with respect to such Leased Vehicle. Such deposit of funds in an amount at least equal to the Repurchase Payment received from a Dealer or Assigning Affiliate, as the case may be, shall satisfy the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to this Section and shall be deemed to constitute payment in full of the Repurchase Payment with respect thereto.

(c) If the domicile of or title to a Leased Vehicle is changed by a Person other than the Titling Trust, Owner Trustee, Collateral Agent, Settlor or Servicer and such change would be likely to result in the Titling Trust doing business in a Restricted Jurisdiction, then on the Payment Date related to the Collection Period that ends at least thirty (30) days after the Servicer discovers or is notified of such change, the Servicer shall purchase such Lease Agreement and the related Leased Vehicle by either (i) depositing to the related Collection Account an amount equal to the Repurchase Payment or (ii) appropriately segregating and designating an amount equal to the Repurchase Payment on its records, pending application thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

 

9


(d) The purchase by a Dealer or an Assigning Affiliate of a Lease Agreement and/or Leased Vehicle, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to cure the breach of representation or warranty or other situation giving rise to the repurchase obligation for purposes of this Agreement. Upon any such purchase, the Titling Trust shall be deemed to transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Servicer (or the related Dealer, as applicable), without recourse, representation or warranty, all of the Titling Trust’s interest in the repurchased Lease Agreement and Leased Vehicle, including all monies due or to become due with respect thereto after the date of such repurchase and all proceeds thereof.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the related Supplement or Servicing Supplement, the sole remedy of the Titling Trust, the Settlor and the related Exchange Noteholder with respect to (i) the incorrectness of a representation and warranty set forth in Section 2.6(a) or (ii) a change of domicile of a Leased Vehicle resulting in the Titling Trust doing business in a Restricted Jurisdiction shall be to require the Servicer to deposit the applicable Repurchase Payment (or such amount as specified in the Servicing Supplement) in the related Collection Account and thereby purchase the applicable Lease Agreement and Leased Vehicle as provided in this Section. The obligations of the Servicer under this Section shall survive any partial or complete termination of the Servicer hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may purchase a Matured Vehicle at any time. If such Leased Vehicle is allocated to (i) the Lending Facility Pool, the purchase price shall equal the Contract Residual Value relating to such Lease Vehicle as of the related Maturity Date or (ii) a Designated Pool, the purchase price shall be determined as set forth in the related Servicing Supplement.

SECTION 2.7. Collections, Security Deposits, Payments Ahead and Other Receipts.

(a) The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) collect all payments or balances required under each Lease Agreement and (ii) cause all payments required under its Lease Agreement to be made, accompanied by an invoice, payment coupon or electronic funds transfer notice bearing the lease number to which such payment relates.

(iii) The Servicer shall cause the portions of the Administrative Charge representing allocations of Taxes to be paid or the Servicer shall pay all such amounts as are contemplated by the related Lease Agreement.

(iv) By the later of the close of business on (A) the second (2nd) Business Day after receipt or (B) the day on which all related Payment Information is received by the Servicer, the Servicer shall, except as otherwise provided in a related Servicing Supplement, either (1) deposit into the related Collection Account all such funds other than (x) Administrative Charges and (y) Disposition Expenses, Liquidation Expenses and Insurance Expenses to be reimbursed to the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.11 (it being understood that in the case of proceeds from the sale or other disposition of a Leased Vehicle that is the subject of a Like Kind Exchange which are part of Collections, the Servicer instead shall make deposits into the related Collection Account when due in accordance with Section 2.11) or (2) appropriately segregate and designate such funds on its records, pending application thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(v) In connection with Like Kind Exchanges, if the Servicer has reallocated any Leased Vehicles from the relevant Designated Pool to the Lending Facility Pool, by the later of the close of business on (A) the second Business Date after receipt or (B) the day on which all related Payment Information is received by the Servicer, the Servicer shall, except as otherwise provided in a related Servicing Supplement, cause the Titling Trust to assign the related Net Liquidation Proceeds from the Lending Facility Pool to a Qualified Intermediary to permit the Qualified Intermediary to purchase a Replacement Vehicle.

(vi) If the Servicer receives any Payment Ahead with respect to a Lease Agreement it shall maintain appropriate records so as to enable it to timely apply such Payment Ahead as an Applied Payment Ahead on the succeeding Payment Due Dates for the related Lease Agreement. On such succeeding Payment Due Dates, the Servicer shall deposit the related Applied Payment Ahead to the related Collection Account and indicate the corresponding reduction in the Retained Payment Ahead in its records.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Servicing Supplement, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain the amounts provided for in such Section received during a Collection Period until such amounts are required to be disbursed on the related Payment Date.

 

11


(c) With respect to Security Deposits:

(i) Subject to Section 6.1(b), the Servicer shall treat all Security Deposits remitted to it (or deemed remitted to it) in accordance with the Customary Servicing Practices as agent, custodian and bailee for the Titling Trust and as proceeds of the Lease Agreements, pending application of the proceeds thereof pursuant to clause (ii) below.

(ii) The Servicer shall apply the proceeds of each Security Deposit in accordance with applicable law, the Customary Servicing Practices and the terms of the related Lease Agreements, including payment of shortfalls resulting from the related lessee’s default or failure to make payments required by the related Lease Agreement or from damage to the related Leased Vehicle. Upon termination of a Lease Agreement, the Servicer shall return to the related lessee any portion of the related Security Deposit remaining after deducting any amounts permitted under applicable law and the related Lease Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Lease Agreement, if a Lease Agreement becomes a Defaulted Lease or a Liquidated Lease, then the related Security Deposit shall become Liquidation Proceeds, which the Servicer shall apply (net of any Liquidation Expenses) to amounts owed by the related lessee under such Lease Agreement.

(iii) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, (A) the Servicer shall not be required to segregate Security Deposits from its own funds and (B) any income earned from any investment on the Security Deposits by the Servicer shall be for the account of the Servicer as additional compensation.

Except as otherwise provided in the related Servicing Supplement, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for Disposition Expenses and Liquidation Expenses as provided in Section 2.10. The Titling Trust shall grant to the Servicer a Power of Attorney, and the Servicer, as “Grantee” thereunder, with full power of substitution, shall give prompt notice to the Owner Trustee upon any such substitution.

(c) In connection with any Like Kind Exchange, the Servicer shall direct or cause to occur all necessary action under such program, including:

(i) In order to effect Like Kind Exchanges, the Servicer shall be permitted from time to time to reallocate Leased Vehicles on the books and records of the Titling Trust from the relevant Designated Pool to the Lending Facility Pool prior to the sale or other disposition of such Leased Vehicles in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, with respect to any Leased Vehicle allocated to a Designated Pool, the related Servicing Supplement. Furthermore, in order to effect Like Kind Exchanges, the Servicer shall be permitted from time to time to assign the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to any such Leased Vehicle from the Lending Facility Pool to the Qualified Intermediary in connection with obtaining Replacement Vehicles. The Servicer shall be permitted to effect any reallocation of a Leased Vehicle on the books and records of the Titling Trust from the relevant Designated Pool to the Lending Facility Pool on the Business Day on which the Servicer reasonably believes the sale or other disposition of such Leased Vehicle shall occur (the “Scheduled Disposition Date”). If a Leased Vehicle has been reallocated from the relevant Designated Pool to the Lending Facility Pool and the anticipated sale or other disposition of such Leased Vehicle does not occur on or prior to the close of business on the related Scheduled Disposition Date then the Servicer shall immediately reallocate the related Leased Vehicle on the books and records of the Titling Trust from the Lending Facility Pool to the relevant Designated Pool.

 

15


(ii) With respect to any Leased Vehicle that is sold or otherwise disposed of following a reallocation described in Section 2.11(c)(i), the Servicer shall determine the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to such Leased Vehicle. By no later than the close of business on the first (1st) Business Day following the day on which such Leased Vehicle was sold or otherwise disposed of, the Servicer shall, or shall cause the Settlor to, subject to the terms of any Servicing Supplement, (A) deposit cash in an amount equal to the related Net Liquidation Proceeds into the relevant Exchange Note Collection Account, (B) allocate one or more Leased Vehicles with an aggregate Contract Residual Value that is at least equal to the Net Liquidation Proceeds of the related Leased Vehicle to the relevant Designated Pool or (C) both deposit cash to the relevant Exchange Note Collection Account and allocate one or more Leased Vehicles to the relevant Designated Pool so that the sum of such cash deposit plus the aggregate Contract Residual Value of such Leased Vehicles is at least equal to the Net Liquidation Proceeds of the related Leased Vehicle.

(iii) The Servicer shall use the same commercially reasonable efforts to sell or otherwise dispose of Liquidated Vehicles under a Like Kind Exchange as required by Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b).

(iv) Upon the disposition of a Leased Vehicle and transfer of the proceeds of such disposition to the Qualified Intermediary, GM Financial shall direct the Qualified Intermediary to use such proceeds, together with any additional amounts received from the Settlor and any proceeds then held by the Qualified Intermediary as a result of the disposition of other Leased Vehicles, to acquire one or more Replacement Vehicles. Upon the purchase of any Replacement Vehicle by the Qualified Intermediary, the Servicer shall cause such Replacement Vehicle to be titled in accordance with Section 2.4 and allocated either (A) to a Designated Pool in accordance with Section 2.11(c)(iii) or (B) if no such allocation to a Designated Pool is required to fulfill the requirements of Section 2.11(c)(iii), to the Lending Facility Pool.

(v) If any Leased Vehicle is disposed of in connection with a Like Kind Exchange by being sold to GM Financial or to an Affiliate of GM Financial, GM Financial or such Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that (1) the sale price paid in respect of such sale represents the equivalent amount that GM Financial, as Servicer, would have obtained from a third-party purchaser in respect of such Leased Vehicle (unless the Base Residual Value is paid for such Leased Vehicle, in which case, the amount that would have been paid by a third-party purchaser shall be deemed to be the Base Residual Value), and (2) the costs and expenses of the Servicer to be netted against such proceeds are no greater than had such Leased Vehicle been sold directly to a third-party purchaser.

SECTION 2.12. Servicer to Act on Behalf of Trustee.

(a) In addition to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents, the Servicer shall perform such calculations and shall prepare for execution by the Titling Trust or the Owner Trustee or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions

 

16


as it shall be the duty of the Titling Trust or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or under state and federal tax and securities laws (including any filings required pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder), and at the request of the Owner Trustee shall take all appropriate action that it is the duty of the Titling Trust to take pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents. In accordance with the directions of the Titling Trust or the Owner Trustee, the Servicer shall administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the Collateral as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by the Titling Trust or the Owner Trustee and are reasonably within the capability of the Servicer.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall be responsible for promptly notifying the Owner Trustee and the Administrative Agent in the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Titling Trust’s payments (or allocations of income) to any Certificateholder (as defined in the Titling Trust Agreement) as contemplated by this Agreement or any other Basic Document. Any such notice shall be in writing and specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Owner Trustee or the Administrative Agent pursuant to such provision.

(c) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations under this Agreement, the Servicer may enter into transactions with or otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any directions received from the Titling Trust and shall be, in the Servicer’s opinion, no less favorable to the Titling Trust in any material respect.

(d) The Servicer shall prepare and file, on behalf of APGO and the Titling Trust, all tax returns, tax elections, financial statements and such annual or other reports attributable to the activities engaged in by the Titling Trust as are necessary for preparation of tax reports, including without limitation forms 1099. All tax returns will be signed by APGO or the Servicer.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer are non-ministerial, the Servicer shall not take any action pursuant to this Section 2.12 unless within a reasonable time before the taking of such action, the Servicer shall have notified the Owner Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of the proposed action and the Owner Trustee and, with respect to items (A), (B), (C) and (D) below, the Owner Trustee shall not have withheld consent. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include: (A) the amendment of or any supplement to the Credit and Security Agreement; (B) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Titling Trust and the compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Titling Trust (other than in connection with the collection of the Lease Agreements or liquidation of the Leased Vehicles); (C) the amendment, change or modification of this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents; and (D) the removal of, and appointment of a successor, Collateral Agent.

 

17


(f) The Servicer shall identify from time to time all (i) UCC financing statements reflecting certain interests in Lease Agreements allocated to a particular Pool and all related rights, (ii) periodic sales and use Tax, income or franchise Tax or property (real or personal) Tax reports for the Titling Trust and the Owner Trustee, (iii) periodic renewals of licenses and permits, (iv) periodic renewals of qualifications to act as a statutory trust and trustee of a statutory trust and (v) other periodic governmental filings, returns, registrations or approvals (items (i) through (v), collectively, “Filings”) arising with respect to or required of the Owner Trustee or the Titling Trust, including (in the ease of clauses (iii) and (v)) such licenses, permits and other Filings as are required for the Titling Trust or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Titling Trust, as the case may be, to originate and accept assignments of Lease Agreements or Leased Vehicles and to be identified and maintained as the owner of the Leased Vehicles on the related Certificates of Title, as contemplated by Sections 2.4 and 2.5(a). The Servicer shall also identify any surety bonds or other ancillary undertakings required of the Titling Trust or the Owner Trustee in respect of any Filing. The Servicer, with, to the extent applicable, the cooperation of the Settlor, the Owner Trustee or the Titling Trust, shall timely prepare and file or cause to be filed, with the appropriate Person each Filing and each such ancillary undertaking, and shall pay any and all fees, Taxes or expenses required to be paid in connection with the foregoing. In connection with the foregoing, the Titling Trust grants to the Servicer such authority, and will, from time to time, execute and deliver to the Servicer any necessary power of attorney (including a Power of Attorney), as it may require, to effect each such Filing or ancillary undertaking. If the Servicer receives notice, or has actual knowledge, of material non-compliance with any Filing requirement, it shall promptly so notify the Owner Trustee and take all required action to rectify such noncompliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to perform any of the actions specified in this Section in connection with any requirements that may be applicable to any Co-Trustee (except to the extent provided for in an applicable Co-Trustee Agreement to which the Servicer is a party), separate trustee or nominee of the Titling Trust.

SECTION 2.13. Liability of Servicer; Indemnities.

(a) The Servicer (in its capacity as such) shall be liable hereunder only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically undertaken by the Servicer and the representations made by the Servicer.

(b) The Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Titling Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Settlor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees and the Secured Parties from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof of any Leased Vehicle.

(c) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Titling Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Settlor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees and the Secured Parties from and against any Taxes that may at any time be asserted against any of such parties with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but not including any federal or other income taxes based on income payable to such Persons hereunder or thereunder) and costs and expenses in defending against the same.

 

18


(d) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Titling Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Settlor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees and the Secured Parties from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon the Titling Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Settlor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties by reason of the negligence, misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of the Servicer’s duties under this Agreement or any other Basic Document or by reason of reckless disregard of the Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Basic Document (excluding credit and residual value losses).

(e) GM Financial shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Titling Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Settlor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees and the Secured Parties from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the violation by Servicer of federal or state securities laws in connection with the registration or the sale of any Exchange Note.

(f) Indemnification under this Article shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation and shall include costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any such indemnification rights. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.

(g) The obligations of the Servicer under this Section shall survive (i) any transaction described in Section 5.4 and any acts, occurrences or transactions related thereto whether arising before or after the date of such transaction, (ii) the resignation or removal of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and (iii) the termination of this Agreement, any related Servicing Supplement and the other Basic Documents.

SECTION 2.14. Third Party Claims. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Settlor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee and each affected Secured Party upon learning of a Claim or Lien of whatever kind of a third party that would be likely to have a material adverse impact (not reasonably expected to be covered by insurance) on the Titling Trust or any Trust Assets allocated to a particular Pool. The Servicer shall be responsible for the defense of any Claim against the Owner Trustee arising pursuant to or in connection with a Claim or Proceeding (a) contemplated by SECTION 2.13(a), (b), (c) and (d), subject to the qualifications described therein, (b) originally commenced by the Servicer or the Titling Trust to enforce a Lease Agreement or (c) with respect to the servicing of a Lease Agreement. If the Servicer is responsible for the defense of such a Proceeding or Claim, the Servicer will provide such information with respect thereto as is reasonably requested by the Settlor, the Owner Trustee or the related Secured Party, as applicable.

SECTION 2.15. Insurance. The Servicer shall cause each Lease Agreement to require (i) a comprehensive and collision physical damage insurance policy covering the actual cash value of the related Leased Vehicle and (ii) automotive liability insurance in amounts at least equal to the amount prescribed by applicable State law shall be obtained and maintained in full

 

19


force and effect during the related Lease Term. Each Lease Agreement shall provide that failure to obtain and maintain the required insurance is a default under the Lease Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, evidence that a “self-insurance” policy is maintained that satisfies the dollar amount requirements in clauses (i) and (ii) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.15.

SECTION 2.16. Subservicer.

(a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with one or more subservicers for the servicing and administration of any or all of the Lease Agreements. References in this Agreement to actions taken, to be taken, permitted to be taken, or restrictions on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer in servicing the Lease Agreements shall include actions taken, to be taken, permitted to be taken, or restrictions on actions permitted to be taken, by a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer. Each subservicing agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and the standard of care set forth herein and as the Servicer and the subservicer have agreed. All compensation payable to a subservicer under a subservicing agreement shall be payable by the Servicer from its servicing compensation or otherwise from its own funds.

(b) Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or any arrangements between the Servicer or a subservicer or any reference to actions taken through such Persons or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the servicing and administering of the Lease Agreements in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements.

(c) Any subservicing agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or servicing arrangements relating to or involving a subservicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Titling Trust, the Owner Trustee and any Secured Party shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the subservicer except as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph.

In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be acting as such, the Successor Servicer may, in its discretion, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing Servicer under a subservicing agreement. In such event, the Successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing Servicer as a party to each such subservicing agreement to the same extent as if such subservicing agreement had been assigned to the Successor Servicer, except that the outgoing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations on the part of the outgoing Servicer to the subservicer under such subservicing agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall deliver to the Successor Servicer all documents and records relating to each such subservicing agreement and the Lease Agreements then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any subservicing agreement to the Successor Servicer. In the event that the predecessor servicer is being replaced upon the occurrence of a Lending Facility Servicer Default or Exchange Note Servicer Default or otherwise for cause, the predecessor Servicer shall pay all reasonable set-up and conversion costs associated with the transfer of the servicing rights to the Successor

 

20


Servicer. In the event that the Successor Servicer elects not to assume a subservicing agreement, the outgoing Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the subservicer to deliver to the Successor Servicer all documents and records relating to the Lease Agreements and Leased Vehicles being serviced thereunder and all amounts held (or thereafter received) by such subservicer (together with an accounting of such amounts) and shall otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing of the Lease Agreements and Leased Vehicles being serviced by such subservicer to the Successor Servicer.

SECTION 2.17. Pull Ahead Lease Agreements. If a Pull Ahead Program is instituted, any Lease Agreement subject to such Pull Ahead Program shall become a Pull Ahead Lease Agreement as of the end of the Collection Period during which the related Lessee elected to terminate the Lease Agreement prior to its Maturity Date by delivery of the related Leased Vehicle to a Dealer and payment of any required Monthly Payments and any other required amount pursuant to such Pull Ahead Program. The Servicer shall cause the related Pull Ahead Payment Provider to remit to it all Pull Ahead Payments relating to Pull Ahead Lease Agreements in accordance with the terms of the related Pull Ahead Program, including pursuing applicable legal remedies if such payments are not paid. For the avoidance of doubt, no Successor Servicer shall be obligated to maintain a Pull Ahead Program.

ARTICLE III

ACCOUNTS, STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

SECTION 3.1. Establishment of Collection Accounts.

(a) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lender, has established and maintains in its own name an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Lending Facility Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lender. The Collateral Agent will also establish an Exchange Note Collection Account pursuant to each Servicing Supplement that will relate to the related Designated Pool and Exchange Note. Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account established with an Eligible Institution.

(b) Unless otherwise specified in the related Servicing Supplement with respect to an Exchange Note Collection Account, funds on deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be invested by the Collateral Agent (or any custodian with respect to funds on deposit in any such account) in Permitted Investments selected in writing by the Servicer (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise). All such Permitted Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the related Secured Party. Funds on deposit in any Trust Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the following Payment Date. All Permitted Investments will be held to maturity. The Servicer acknowledges that upon its written request and at no additional cost, it has the right to receive notification after the completion of each such investment or the Collateral Agent’s receipt of a broker’s confirmation. The Servicer agrees that such notifications will not be provided by the Collateral Trustee hereunder, and the Collateral Trustee shall make available, upon request and in lieu of notifications, periodic account statements that reflect such investment activity. No statement need be made available if no activity has occurred in the relevant Account during such period.

 

21


(c) All Investment Earnings of moneys deposited in each Collection Account shall be deposited (or caused to be deposited) in such Collection Account by 10:00 a.m. on each Payment Date by the Collateral Agent and applied in the manner set forth in the Credit and Security Agreement or related Exchange Note Supplement, as applicable, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to such Collection Account. The Servicer will not direct the Collateral Agent to make any investment of any funds held in any of the Collection Accounts unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Collateral Agent to make any such investment, if requested by the Collateral Agent, the Servicer shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Collateral Agent, to such effect.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Collection Accounts resulting from any loss on any Permitted Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Collateral Agent’s failure to comply with the applicable investment instructions pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or its failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments issued by the Collateral Agent, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as Collateral Agent, in accordance with their terms.

(e) If (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions in writing for any funds on deposit in the Collection Accounts to the Collateral Agent by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and Collateral Agent) on any Business Day the funds in such Collection Account will be invested in accordance with the investment direction most recently provided by the Servicer; provided, that, if no investment direction has been provided by the Servicer by such date, the funds in such Collection Account will be held univested.

(f) The Collateral Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Collection Accounts and in all proceeds thereof for the benefit of the related Secured Parties and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust Estate and the Collateral Agent shall be the only Person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Collection Accounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Collection Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the related Secured Parties. If, at any time, any of the Collection Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Collateral Agent (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as to which the Rating Agencies rating any securities backed by the related Exchange Note, if any, may consent) establish a new Collection Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Collection Account. In connection with the foregoing, the Servicer agrees that, in the event that any of the Collection Accounts are not accounts maintained in the name of the Collateral Agent at an Eligible Institution, the Servicer shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing promptly upon any of such Collection Accounts ceasing to be an Eligible Deposit Account.

 

22


(g) The Collateral Agent or Person holding the Collection Accounts shall be the “Securities Intermediary” with respect to the Collection Accounts. If the Securities Intermediary in respect of the Collection Accounts is not the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall obtain the express written agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 3.1(g) and the Collateral Agent shall provide a copy of such agreement to the Servicer. With respect to the Collection Accounts and the Trust Account Property, the Securities Intermediary agrees that:

(i) any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the Eligible Deposit Accounts; and, except as otherwise provided herein, each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(ii) any Trust Account Property that constitutes “physical property” (as such term is defined in the definition of “Delivery” contained in Annex A hereto) shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with paragraph (i) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Collateral Agent or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(14) of the UCC) acting solely for the Collateral Agent;

(iii) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” for purposes of Section 8-110 of the UCC shall be the State of New York;

(iv) any property that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Collateral Agent, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Trust Account Property as described in such paragraph;

(v) any Trust Account Property that is an “uncertificated security” or a “security entitlement” under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (4) above shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with paragraph (iii) or (iv), if applicable, of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Collateral Agent, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Collateral Agent’s (or its nominee’s) ownership of such security; and

(vi) any cash shall be considered a “financial asset” under Article 8 of the UCC.

(h) The Servicer shall have the power to instruct the Collateral Agent to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer and the Collateral Agent to carry out its respective duties hereunder, under the Credit and Security Agreement and under any other agreements related thereto or to withdraw amounts that do not constitute Collections for any Collection Period that were deposited in error.

(i) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.1, if the Collateral Agent transfers any Collection Account to another Eligible Institution, it shall provide no less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to GM Financial and shall consult with GM Financial no less than sixty (60) days in advance of any change in who shall be such Eligible Institution.

 

23


SECTION 3.2. Reporting by the Servicer; Delivery of Certain Documentation.

(a) On or before each Determination Date, in accordance with Section 2.8(a), the Servicer shall deliver the Monthly Lending Facility Pool Report to the Owner Trustee, the Settlor, the Lender and the Collateral Agent and each Monthly Exchange Note Report to the related Secured Parties, in each case, for the related Collection Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 2.8(a), if at any time no Exchange Notes are outstanding the Servicer shall not be required to deliver any Servicer Reports unless requested to do so by the Lender.

(b) The Servicer will also provide any additional reports, certificates or notices specified in any Servicing Supplement to the recipients and in accordance with the terms specified therein.

ARTICLE IV

(b) Except as otherwise provided in the related Servicing Supplement, the following acts and occurrences with respect to any Designated Pool, will constitute “Exchange Note Servicer Defaults” for such Designated Pool:

(iii) failure on the part of the Servicer to observe its covenants and agreements set forth in Section 5.3; or

(c) The Servicer shall provide to the Owner Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent the related Secured Party and the related Exchange Noteholder, if applicable, prompt notice of any Lending Facility Servicer Default or Exchange Note Servicer Default.

(d) If a Lending Facility Servicer Default or Exchange Note Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Titling Trust may, upon being provided indemnity or security satisfactory to it, remedy such Lending Facility Servicer Default or Exchange Note Servicer Default, as applicable, or at the direction of the related Secured Party, by notice to the Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and the related Servicing Supplement in respect of the related Pool, including all or a portion (allocable to the rights and obligations terminated) of the rights of the Servicer to receive the servicing compensation provided for in Section 2.10 (or the applicable portion thereof) with respect to such Pool following the assumption by a successor of the Servicer’s duties hereunder. Upon any such termination, the Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer until the earlier of the date specified in the termination notice or, if no such date is specified therein, the date of the Servicer’s receipt of such notice, at which time all rights, powers, duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement and the related Servicing Supplement, whether with respect to the Servicing Fee or otherwise, so terminated with respect to the related Pool shall, as applicable, vest in and be assumed by a Successor Servicer appointed by the related Secured Party, pursuant to a servicing agreement with the Titling Trust and such Secured Party, containing substantially the same provisions as this Agreement in respect of the related Pool (including those with respect to the compensation of such Successor Servicer). The Successor Servicer is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments (including any notices to Lessees deemed necessary or advisable by the Successor Servicer), and

 

25


to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect such vesting and assumption. Such action shall include, directing any or all of the related Lessees to remit payments on or in respect of the related Lease Agreements and Leased Vehicles to an account or address designated by the Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall comply with its obligations under Section 6.1(b) in connection with any such termination.

(e) All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with transferring the servicing of the related Lease Agreements and Leased Vehicles to the Successor Servicer and amending this Agreement and the related Servicing Supplement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. In the event that a Servicer fails to pay costs and expenses for which it is responsible under this Section within a reasonable time after presentation of such documentation, the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as a Liability payable from Trust Assets in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Titling Trust Agreement, and the Titling Trust shall be subrogated to the reimbursement rights of the Successor Servicer against the departing Servicer.

(f) At the written direction of the related Secured Party, the Titling Trust shall waive a default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences with regard to any Pool, except that any such waiver in respect of a Pool may only be given in accordance with the related Exchange Note Supplement or the related Servicing Supplement. Upon any such waiver by the Titling Trust of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Lending Facility Servicer Default or Exchange Note Servicer Default, as applicable, arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement and the related Servicing Supplement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(g) If the Servicer resigns or is terminated as Servicer hereunder with respect to a Pool, the related Secured Party shall appoint a Successor Servicer hereunder.
