(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Supplement or the Basic Servicing Agreement, in the event that any 201[__]-[__] Vehicle is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Servicer, each of the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder and the Registered Pledgee (i) for as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, will be deemed automatically to release, and immediately prior to such sale or other disposition, does hereby agree to release at such time, any and all Liens and other rights and interests it possesses or may possess from time to time, without further action of the parties, in, to and under such 201[__]-[__] Vehicle, the proceeds thereof (including pursuant to any Insurance Policy) with respect to or covering such 201[__]-[__] Vehicle and any contract or agreement for the sale or other disposition of such 201[__]-[__] Vehicle, and (ii) during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, shall continue to have all rights and interests it possesses or may possess from time to time with respect to or covering such 201[__]-[__] Vehicle and any contract or agreement for the sale or other disposition of such 201[__]-[__] Vehicle, the proceeds thereof (including pursuant to any Insurance Policy) with respect to or covering such 201[__]-[__] Vehicle and any contract or agreement for the sale or other disposition of such Vehicle until the actual net proceeds of such sale or other disposition have been deposited into the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
7
otherwise constitute a release of any rights under the 201[__]-[__] Basic Documents to receive an amount equal to the proceeds of such sale or other disposition.
(d) Upon repayment in full of the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note and all Issuer Obligations or following release of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 8.05(b) of the Indenture, the 201[__]-[__] Reference Pool will be deemed to be terminated and the 201[__]-[__] Leases and 201[__]-[__] Vehicles included in the 201[__]-[__] Reference Pool will be reallocated to the Revolving Facility Pool.

(b) Failure to Pay Principal. The Borrower fails to pay or cause to be paid any principal of such Exchange Note on the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date and, if such failure is due to an administrative omission, mistake or technical difficulty, that failure continues for five Business Days after the date when such principal became due;
(c) Breach of Covenant. There is a default in the observance or performance of any covenant or agreement of the Borrower made in the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement or this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Supplement (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the observance or performance of which is specifically covered by another Exchange Note Default with respect to the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note), the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholders are materially and adversely affected by such default and such default is not cured on or before the 60th day after the Borrower has received a notice that states that it is a “Notice of Exchange Note Default” and specifies the default; and

Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made in the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement, this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Supplement or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection with the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement or this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Supplement proves to have been incorrect as of the time made, the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholders are materially and adversely affected by such incorrectness and such incorrectness is not cured on or before the 60th day after the Borrower has received a notice from the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholders that states that it is a “Notice of Exchange Note Default” and specifies the default.

9
(b) The proceeds of any liquidation or sale of the 201[__]-[__] Collateral pursuant to Section 6.05(a)(ii)(C) of the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement, to the extent received by the Indenture Trustee and upon receipt of instructions from the Administrator indicating the amounts to be applied by the Indenture Trustee, will be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b) of the Indenture.
(c) All amounts payable to the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder pursuant to this Section will be deposited by the Indenture Trustee into the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Collection Account.

REVERSE OF 201[__]-[__] EXCHANGE NOTE
This 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note is one of the duly authorized issue of Exchange Notes, which may be issued under the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement, to which Basic Collateral Agency 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 Exchange Noteholders. The 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note is subject to all terms of the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note, the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement, the terms of the Exchange Note Supplement will prevail. The 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder, by accepting this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note, will be deemed to have agreed to the terms and conditions of the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement with the same effect as if such 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder had been a party to the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement and the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Supplement.
Interest on and principal of the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note will be payable in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of the Exchange Note Supplement. Principal of the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Principal Distributable Amount for such Payment Date. “Payment Date” means the 15th day of each calendar month or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day, commencing [_____ __], 201[__].
As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note will be due and payable on the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note will be due and payable on the date on which an Exchange Note Default with respect to the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note has occurred and is continuing and the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder has declared the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement.
Payments of interest on this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal to the extent not in full payment of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note, will be made to the account of the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder either by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to the account of such 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder or an account designated by the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor if such 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder has provided to the Exchange Note Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check mailed first-class mail postage prepaid to the 201[__]-[__] 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 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note on a Payment Date or the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date will be payable only upon the presentation and surrender of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note in the manner set forth in Section 4.05 of the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement. Such payments will be made without requiring that this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this
A-5
201[__]-[__] Exchange Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date will be binding upon all future 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholders of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note and of any 201[__]-[__] 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 Basic Collateral Agency Agreement, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note on a Payment Date, then the Administrative Agent will notify the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder of the date on which the Borrower expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note will be paid not later than 15 days prior to such date. Such notice will specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note and will specify the place where the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.
As provided in the 201[__]-[__] Servicing Supplement, the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note may be purchased by the Servicer, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to the extent described in Section 5.01 of the 201[__]-[__] Servicing Supplement.
The transfer of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer specified on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note may be registered on the Exchange Note Register upon surrender of this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Borrower pursuant to the Basic Collateral Agency Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent duly executed by, the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder hereof or the 201[__]-[__] 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 201[__]-[__] 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 201[__]-[__] 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 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder, by accepting this 201[__]-[__] Exchange Note, acknowledges and agrees that (i) if an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Borrower, any claim that the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder may seek to enforce at any time against the Borrower will be limited in recourse to the 201[__]-[__] Reference Pool, (ii) if, notwithstanding clause (i) above, the 201[__]-[__] Exchange Noteholder is deemed to have any claim against the assets of the Borrower other than the assets included in the 201[__]-[__] Reference 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 to the holders of (a) all other Exchange Notes and (b) in the case of assets allocated to a Specified Interest other than the Daimler Retail Specified Interest, all other asset-backed securities, the payments on which are derived primarily from collections on designated assets of the Borrower and all related
A-6
