If an Authorized Officer whose signature is on a Group II Note no longer holds that office at the time the Group II Note is authenticated, such Group II Note shall nevertheless be valid.
(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Group II Supplement, HVF II may deliver Group II Notes of any particular Series of Group II Notes executed by HVF II to the Trustee for authentication, together with one or more Company Orders for the authentication and delivery of such Group II Notes, and the Trustee, in accordance with such Company Order and this Group II Supplement, shall authenticate and deliver such Group II Notes.
(c) No Group II Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Group II Indenture or be valid for any purpose unless there appears on such Group II Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, duly executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of a Trust Officer (and the Luxembourg agent (the “Luxembourg Agent”), if the Group II Notes of the Series of Group II Notes to which such Group II Note belongs are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange). Such signatures on such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Group II Note has been duly authenticated under this Group II Supplement. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to HVF II to authenticate Group II Notes. Unless limited by the term of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Group II Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.

(f) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Group II Notes under this Section 2.4 if the Trustee, based on the written advice of counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken.

SECURITY
Section 3.1. Grant of Security Interest.
(a) To secure the Group II Note Obligations, HVF II hereby pledges, assigns, conveys, delivers, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Group II Noteholders, and hereby grants to the Trustee, for the benefit of such Group II Noteholders, a security interest in, all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by HVF II or in which HVF II now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Group II Indenture Collateral”):
(i) the Group II Leasing Company Notes, including, without limitation, all monies due and to become due to HVF II from any Group II Leasing Company under or in connection with any Group II Leasing Company Note, whether payable as principal, interest, fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance recoveries, damages for the breach of any provision of any Group II Leasing Company Note or otherwise, all security for amounts payable thereunder and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of HVF II against any other party under or with respect to any Group II Leasing Company Note (whether arising pursuant to the terms of such Group II Leasing Company Note or otherwise available to HVF II at law or in equity), the right to enforce any Group II Leasing Company Note as provided herein and to give or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or with respect to any Group II Leasing Company Note or the obligations of any party thereunder;
(ii) the Group II Related Documents (other than the Group II Indenture), including all monies due and to become due to HVF II under or in connection with any Group II Related Document, whether payable as fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance recoveries, damages for the breach of any provision of any Group II Related Document, all security for amounts payable thereunder and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of HVF II against any other party under or with respect to any Group II Related Document (whether arising pursuant to the terms of such Group II Related Document or otherwise available to HVF II at law or in equity), the right to enforce any Group II Related Document as provided herein and to give or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or with respect to any Group II Related Document or the obligations of any party thereunder;
(iii) the Group II Collection Account, all monies on deposit from time to time in the Group II Collection Account and all proceeds thereof;
(iv) all additional property that may from time to time hereafter (pursuant to the terms of the Group II Supplement or otherwise) be subjected to the grant and pledge hereof by HVF II or by anyone on its behalf; and
6
(v) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing.
(b) The foregoing grant is made in trust to secure the Group II Note Obligations and to secure compliance with the provisions of the Group II Indenture and any Group II Series Supplement, all as provided in the Group II Indenture. The Trustee, as trustee on behalf of the Group II Noteholders, acknowledges such grant, accepts the trusts under the Group II Indenture in accordance with the provisions of the Group II Indenture agrees to perform its duties required in the Group II Indenture. Except as otherwise stated in any Group II Series Supplement, the Group II Indenture Collateral shall secure the Group II Notes equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction.
(c) The Group II Indenture Collateral has been pledged to the Trustee to secure each Series of Group II Notes. For all purposes hereunder and for the avoidance of doubt, the Group II Indenture Collateral will be held by the Trustee solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Group II Notes, and no Noteholder of any Series of Notes that is not a Series of Group II Notes will have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Group II Indenture Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, if it is determined that the Group II Noteholders have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Group-Specific Collateral with respect to any Group of Notes other than Group II Notes, then the Group II Noteholders agree that their right, title and interest in, to or under such Group-Specific Collateral shall be subordinate in all respects to the claims or rights of the Noteholders with respect to such other Group of Notes, and in such case, this Group II Supplement shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(d) On the Initial Group II Closing Date, HVF II shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee as security for the Group II Note Obligations, the RCFC Series 2010-3 Note. The Trustee shall take possession of the RCFC Series 2010-3 Note in New York, New York and shall at all times during the period of the Group II Indenture maintain custody of the RCFC Series 2010-3 Note in New York, New York. The RCFC Series 2010-3 Note shall be accompanied by the indorsement of the RCFC Series 2010-3 Note in blank by an effective indorsement.
(e) On any date after the Initial Group II Closing Date on which HVF II acquires an Additional Group II Leasing Company Note, HVF II shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee as security for the Group II Note Obligations, such Additional Group II Leasing Company Note. The Trustee shall take possession of such Additional Group II Leasing Company Note in New York, New York and shall at all times during the period of the Group II Indenture maintain custody of such Additional Group II Leasing Company Note in New York, New York. Such Additional Group II Leasing Company Note shall be accompanied by the indorsement of such Additional Group II Leasing Company Note in blank by an effective indorsement.

Section 3.2. Certain Rights and Obligations of HVF II Unaffected.
(a) Actions With Respect to Base Related Documents and Group II Related Documents. Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment granted to the Trustee under this Group II Supplement or the rights of the Trustee hereunder, unless a Group II Liquidation Event has occurred and is continuing and except to the extent prohibited by Section 8.2, HVF II shall be permitted to give all requests, notices, directions or approvals, if any, that are required to be given in the normal course of business (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include waivers of defaults under, or consent to amendments or modifications of, any of the Base Related Documents and Group II Related Documents) to any Person in accordance with the terms of the Base Related Documents and Group II Related Documents.
(b) Assignment of Group II Indenture Collateral to Trustee. The assignment of the Group II Indenture Collateral to the Trustee on behalf of the Group II Noteholders shall not (i) relieve HVF II from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on HVF II’s part to be performed or observed under or in connection with any of the Group II Leasing Company Related Documents or from any liability to any Person thereunder or (ii) impose any obligation on the Trustee or any such Group II Noteholders to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on HVF II’s part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on the Trustee or any of the Group II Noteholders for any act or omission on the part of HVF II or from any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of HVF II.
(c) Indemnification of Trustee. HVF II shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by it in connection with enforcing the Group II Indenture or any Group II Related Document or preserving any of its rights to, or realizing upon, any of the Group II Indenture Collateral; provided, however, the foregoing indemnification shall not extend to any action by the Trustee that constitutes negligence or willful misconduct by the Trustee or any other indemnified person hereunder. The indemnification provided for in this Section 3.2(c) shall survive the removal of, or a resignation by, such Person as Trustee as well as the termination of this Group II Supplement or any Group II Series Supplement.
Section 3.3. Performance of Group II Leasing Company Related Documents.
Upon the occurrence of a Group II Leasing Company Amortization Event, promptly following a request from the Trustee to do so and at HVF II’s expense, HVF II agrees to take all such lawful action as the Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by such party to any of the Base Related Documents and Group II Related Documents, in each case, in accordance with the applicable terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to HVF II to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by such party to any of the Base Related Documents and Group II Related Documents, as applicable, of each of its obligations under such Base Related Documents and Group II Related Documents, as applicable.
8
If (i) HVF II shall have failed, within five (5) Business Days of receiving the direction of the Trustee, to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the Trustee, (ii) HVF II refuses to take any such action, (iii) the Trustee reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately or (iv) an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Group II Notes or any Group II Liquidation Event has occurred and is continuing, then the Trustee may take such previously directed action and any related action permitted under the Group II Indenture that the Trustee thereafter determines is appropriate (without the need under this provision or any other provision under the Group II Indenture to direct HVF II to take such action), on behalf of HVF II and the Group II Noteholders.
HVF II does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Trustee its true and lawful Attorney-in-Fact for it and in its name, stead and behalf to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to HVF II with respect to any Group II Leasing Company Note pursuant to this Section 3.3.
Section 3.4. Release of Collateral.
(a) The Trustee shall, when required by the provisions of this Group II Supplement or any Group II Series Supplement, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Group II Supplement or any or all Group II Series Supplements, as applicable, or convey the Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Group II Supplement or such Group II Series Supplements, as applicable. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Trustee as provided in this Section 3.4 shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.
(b) The Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Group II Notes Outstanding, release any remaining portion of the Group II Indenture Collateral from the lien of the Group II Supplement and release to HVF II any amounts then on deposit in or credited to the Group II Collection Account. The Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Group II Supplement pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) only upon receipt of a Company Order accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel meeting the applicable requirements of Section 3.5.
Section 3.5. Opinions of Counsel.
The Trustee shall receive at least seven (7) days’ notice when requested by HVF II to take any action pursuant to Section 3.4, accompanied by copies of any instruments involved and an Opinion of Counsel (which may be based on an Officer’s Certificate), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, concluding that all such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Group II Notes or the rights of the Group II Noteholders in a manner not permitted under the Master Related Documents; provided, however that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Group II Indenture Collateral. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such action. For the avoidance of doubt, any action pursuant to Section 3.4(a) relating to the release of Group II Indenture Collateral or the conveyance by the Trustee of its security interest in the same shall be deemed not to materially and adversely impair the security for any Series of Notes that is not a Series of Group II Notes.
Section 3.6. Stamp, Other Similar Taxes and Filing Fees.
HVF II shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each Group II Noteholder from any present or future claim for liability for any stamp or other similar tax and any penalties or interest with respect thereto, that may be assessed, levied or collected by any jurisdiction in connection with the Group II Indenture. HVF II shall pay, or reimburse the Trustee for, any and all amounts in respect of, all search, filing, recording and registration fees, taxes, excise taxes and other similar imposts that may be payable or reasonably determined to be payable in respect of the execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of the Group II Indenture.
Section 3.7. Duty of the Trustee.
Except for actions expressly authorized by the Group II Indenture, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the security interests created hereunder in any of the Group II Indenture Collateral now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any of the Group II Indenture Collateral now existing or hereafter created.

On or prior to the Initial Group II Closing Date, HVF II, the Securities Intermediary and the Trustee shall have established a securities account (the “Group II Collection Account”) in the name of, and under the control of, the Trustee that shall be maintained for the benefit of the Group II Noteholders. If at any time a Trust Officer obtains actual knowledge or receives written notice that the Group II Collection Account is no longer an Eligible Account, the Trustee, within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining such knowledge, shall cause the Group II Collection Account to be moved to a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution and cause the depositary maintaining the new Group II Collection Account to assume the obligations of the existing Securities Intermediary hereunder.

Investments of funds on deposit in administrative sub-accounts of the Group II Collection Account established in respect of particular Group II Notes shall be required to mature on or before the dates specified in the applicable Group II Series Supplement. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Group II Collection Account shall remain uninvested. HVF II shall not direct the disposal of any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the initial purchase price of such Permitted Investment. The Trustee shall have no liability for any losses incurred as a result of investments made at the direction of HVF II, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to monitor the investment rating of any Permitted Investment.
(c) Earnings from Group II Collection Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on amounts on deposit in or credited to the Group II Collection Account shall be deemed to be available and on deposit for distribution.
(d) Establishment of Group II Series Accounts.

Section 5.2. Trustee as Securities Intermediary.
(a) With respect to the Group II Collection Account, the Trustee or other Person maintaining such Group II Collection Account shall be the “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC and a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC), in such capacities, the “Securities Intermediary”) with respect to the Group II Collection Account. If the Securities Intermediary is not the Trustee, HVF II shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 5.2.
(b) The Securities Intermediary agrees that:
(i) The Group II Collection Account is an account to which Financial Assets will be credited;
(ii) All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Group II Collection Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to the Group II Collection Account be registered in the name of HVF II, payable to the order of HVF II or specially indorsed to HVF II;
(iii) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Group II Supplement and all Permitted Investments thereof will be promptly credited to the Group II Collection Account;
(iv) Each item of property (whether investment property, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Group II Collection Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;
(v) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order or instruction from the Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Group II Collection Account or any instruction with respect to the disposition of funds therein, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order on instruction without further consent by HVF II or the Group II Administrator;
(vi) The Group II Collection Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision of any other agreement. For purposes of the New York UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction within the meaning of Section 9-304 and Section 8-110 of the New York UCC and the Group II Collection Account (as well as the Securities Entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York;
(vii) The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until termination of this Group II Supplement, will not enter into, any agreement with any
12
other Person relating to the Group II Collection Account and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with Entitlement Orders or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Group II Supplement will not enter into, any agreement with HVF II purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with Entitlement Orders or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the New York UCC) as set forth in Section 5.2(b)(v); and
(viii) Except for the claims and interest of the Trustee and HVF II in the Group II Collection Account, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, the Group II Collection Account or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge of the assertion by any other person of any lien, encumbrance, or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Group II Collection Account or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Trustee, the Group II Administrator and HVF II thereof.
(c) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Group II Collection Account and in all Proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate Entitlement Orders in respect of the Group II Collection Account.
(d) The Securities Intermediary will promptly send copies of all statements for the Group II Collection Account, which statements shall reflect any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of HVF II, the Group II Administrator, and the Trustee at the addresses set forth in Section 11.9.
(e) In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Group II Collection Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Trustee for the benefit of the Group II Noteholders. The financial assets and other items deposited to the Group II Collection Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Group II Noteholders.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.1 or this Section 5.2 to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that as permitted by Section 8-504(c)(1) of the New York UCC, with respect to the Group II Collection Account, the Securities Intermediary may satisfy the duty in Section 8-504(a) of the New York UCC with respect to any cash to be credited to the Group II Collection Account by crediting to such Group II Collection Account a general unsecured claim against the Securities Intermediary, as a bank, payable on demand, for the amount of such cash.
(g) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.1 or this Section 5.2 to the contrary, with respect to the Group II Collection Account and any credit balances not constituting Financial Assets credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary shall be acting as a bank (as
13
defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) if the Group II Collection Account is deemed not to constitute a securities account.
Section 5.3. Group II Collections and Allocations.
(a) Group II Collections in General. Until this Group II Supplement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.6, HVF II shall, and the Trustee is authorized (upon written instructions) to, cause all Group II Collections due and to become due to HVF II or the Trustee, as the case may be, to be deposited to the Group II Collection Account at such times as such amounts are due. HVF II agrees that if any such monies, instruments, cash or other proceeds shall be received by HVF II in an account other than the Group II Collection Account or in any other manner, such monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds will not be commingled by HVF II with any of its other funds or property, if any, but will be held separate and apart therefrom and shall be held in trust by HVF II for, and immediately (but in any event within two (2) Business Days from receipt) remitted to, the Trustee, with any necessary indorsement. Subject to Section 9.11, all monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds received by the Trustee pursuant to this Group II Supplement shall be promptly deposited in the Group II Collection Account and shall be applied as provided in this Article V.
(b) Allocations for Group II Noteholders. On each day on which Group II Collections are deposited into the Group II Collection Account, HVF II shall allocate Group II Collections deposited into the Group II Collection Account in accordance with this Article V and shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw the required amounts from the Group II Collection Account and make the required deposits in any Group II Series Account in accordance with this Article V, as modified by each Group II Series Supplement. HVF II shall make such deposits or payments on the date indicated therein in immediately available funds or as otherwise provided in the applicable Group II Series Supplement for any Series of Group II Notes.
(c) Sharing Group II Collections. In the manner described in the applicable Group II Series Supplement, to the extent that Group II Principal Collections that are allocated to any Series of Group II Notes on a Payment Date are not needed to make payments to Group II Noteholders of such Series of Group II Notes or required to be deposited in a Group II Series Account for such Series of Group II Notes on such Payment Date, such Group II Principal Collections may, at the direction of HVF II, be applied to cover principal payments due to or for the benefit of Group II Noteholders of another Series of Group II Notes. Any such reallocation will not result in a reduction in the Principal Amount of the Series of Group II Notes to which such Group II Principal Collections were initially allocated.
(d) Unallocated Group II Principal Collections. If, after giving effect to Section 5.3(c), Group II Principal Collections allocated to any Series of Group II Notes on any Payment Date are in excess of the amount required to be paid in respect of such Series of Group II Notes on such Payment Date, then any such excess Group II Principal Collections shall be allocated to HVF II or such other party as may be entitled thereto as set forth in any Group II Series Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Series of Notes that are not Group II Notes shall have any right or claim to any such excess Group II Principal Collections.
Section 5.4. Determination of Monthly Interest.
Monthly payments of interest on each Series of Group II Notes shall be determined, allocated and distributed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Group II Series Supplement.
Section 5.5. Determination of Monthly Principal.
Monthly payments of principal of each Series of Group II Notes shall be determined, allocated and distributed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Group II Series Supplement. All principal of or interest on any Series of Group II Notes, however, shall be due and payable no later than the Legal Final Payment Date with respect to such Series of Group II Notes.

(i) If any one of the following events shall occur during the Revolving Period or the Controlled Amortization Period with respect to any Series of Group II Notes (each, an “Amortization Event”):
(a) the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to HVF II or the HVF II General Partner; or
(b) the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory body having jurisdiction reaches a final determination that HVF II is an “investment company” or is under the “control” of an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act; or
(c) any other event shall occur that may be specified in any Group II Series Supplement as an “Amortization Event” with respect to the related Series of Group II Notes;
(i) in the case of any event described in Section 9.1(c) above (only to the extent such Amortization Event is subject to waiver as set forth in the applicable Group II Series Supplement) that is continuing, either the Trustee, by written notice to HVF II, or the Required Series Noteholders of the applicable Series of Group II Notes, by written notice to HVF II and the Trustee, may declare that an Amortization Event has occurred with respect to such Series of Group II Notes as of the date of the notice, and
(ii) in the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) above, an Amortization Event with respect to all Series of Group II Notes then outstanding shall immediately occur without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Noteholder.
Section 9.2. Rights of the Trustee upon Amortization Event or Certain Other Events of Default.
(a) General and Group II Leasing Company Related Documents. If any Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Trustee, at the written direction of the Requisite Group II Investors (in the case where such Amortization Event is with respect to all Series of Group II Notes) or Required Series Noteholders with respect to any Series of Group II Notes with respect to which such Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing (in the case where such Amortization Event is with respect to less than all Series of Group II Notes), shall exercise (and HVF II agrees to exercise) from time to time any rights and remedies available to it on behalf of the applicable Group II Noteholders under applicable law or any Group II Related Documents, including the rights and remedies available to the Trustee as a Beneficiary under the Collateral Agency Agreement, and all other rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of HVF II relating to the Group II Indenture Collateral against any party to any Group II Leasing Company Related Documents, including the right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by any Leasing Company and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver in respect of the Group II Leasing Company Related Documents.
(b) Group II Liquidation Event. If any Group II Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Series of Group II Notes, then the Trustee may or, at the direction of the Requisite Group II Investors (in the case where such Group II Liquidation Event is with respect to all Series of Group II Notes) or at the direction of the Required Series Noteholders of any Series of Group II Notes with respect to which such Group II Liquidation Event shall have occurred (in the case where such Group II Liquidation Event is with respect to less than all Series of Group II Notes), shall, exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it as the result of such occurrence under the Group II Leasing Company Related Documents (including the rights and remedies available to it as a Beneficiary under the Collateral Agency Agreement).
(c) Failure of Leasing Company Trustee, Leasing Companies, RCFC Collateral Agent or Lessees to Take Action. If, after the occurrence of any Group II Liquidation Event with respect to any Series of Group II Notes, any Group II Leasing Company Trustee, the RCFC Collateral Agent or any Group II Lessee fails to take action to accomplish any instructions given to it by the Trustee within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt thereof, then the Trustee may or, at the direction of the Requisite Group II Investors (in the case where such Group II Liquidation Event is with respect to all Series of Group II Notes) or at the direction of the Required Series Noteholders of any Series of Group II Notes with respect to which such Group II Liquidation Event shall have occurred (in the case where such Group II Liquidation Event is with respect to less than all Series of Group II Notes), shall take such action or such other appropriate action on behalf of such Group II Leasing Company Trustee, the RCFC Collateral Agent or such Group II Lessee. In the event that the Trustee determines to take action pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee may direct the RCFC Collateral Agent to institute legal proceedings for the appointment of a receiver or receivers to take possession of some or all of the Group II Eligible Vehicles pending the sale thereof, and the Trustee may institute legal proceedings for the appointment of a receiver or receivers pursuant to the powers of sale granted by this Group II Supplement or to a judgment, order or decree made in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this Group II Supplement.
(d) Additional Remedies. In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted hereunder or under applicable law with respect to the Group II Indenture Collateral, the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.
(e) Amortization Event.
(i) Upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to one or more, but not all, Outstanding Series of Group II Notes, the Trustee shall exercise all remedies hereunder to the extent necessary to pay all interest on and principal of the related Series of Group II Notes up to the Principal Amount of each such Series of Group II Notes; provided that, any such actions shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Group II Noteholders of any Series of Group II Notes Outstanding with respect to which no Amortization Event shall have occurred.
(ii) Any amounts relating to the Group II Indenture Collateral or the Group II Note Obligations obtained by the Trustee on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee of any rights or remedies specified in this Article IX shall be held by the Trustee as additional collateral for the repayment of Group II Note Obligations with respect to each Series of Group II Notes with respect to which such rights or remedies were exercised and shall be applied as provided in Article V. If so specified in the applicable Group II Series Supplement, the Trustee may agree not to exercise any rights or remedies available to it as a result of the occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to a Series of Group II Notes to the extent set forth therein.
Section 9.3. Other Remedies.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Group II Indenture, if an Amortization Event occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any remedy available to it on behalf of the Group II Noteholders under applicable law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Group II Notes (or the applicable Series of Group II Notes, in the case of an Amortization Event with respect to less than all Series of Group II Notes) or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Group II Notes, the Group II Indenture, any Group II Series Supplement or any other Group II Related Document, in each case, with respect to such Series of Group II Notes.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Group II Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be in its own name as trustee. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 9.4. Waiver of Past Events.
With respect to any existing Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event described in Section 9.1(c), any such Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event (and, in any such case, any consequences thereof) with respect to such Series of Group II Notes may be waived as set forth in the related Group II Series Supplement. Upon any such waiver, such Potential Amortization Event shall cease to exist with respect to such Series of Group II Notes, and any Amortization Event with respect to such Series of Group II Notes arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Group II Indenture and related Group II Series Supplement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event or impair any right consequent thereon. With respect to any existing Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event described in Section 9.1(a) or (b), any such Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event (and, in any such case, the consequences thereof) with respect to the Group II Notes shall only be waived with the written consent of each Group II Noteholder. Upon any such waiver, such Potential Amortization Event shall cease to exist with respect to each Series of Group II Notes, and any Amortization Event with respect to each Series of Group II Notes arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Group II Indenture and each Group II Series Supplement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event or impair any right consequent thereon. The Trustee shall provide notice to each Rating Agency of any waiver by the Group II Noteholders of any Series of Group II Notes pursuant to this Section 9.4.
Section 9.5. Control by Requisite Investors.
The Requisite Group II Investors (or, where such remedy relates only to one or more particular Series of Group II Notes, the Required Series Noteholders of any such Series of Group II Notes) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee on behalf of such Group II Noteholders or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.1 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee may, however, refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Group II Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Group II Noteholders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 9.6. Limitation on Suits.
Any other provision of the Group II Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, no Group II Noteholder of any Series of Group II Notes shall have any right to institute a proceeding, judicial or otherwise, (x) with respect to the Group II Indenture or (y) for any other remedy with respect to the Group II Indenture or such Series of Group II Notes unless:
(a) such Group II Noteholder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Amortization Event with respect to such Series of Group II Notes;
(b) the Group II Noteholders of at least 25% of the Aggregate Group II Principal Amount of such Series of Group II Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Group II Noteholder or Group II Noteholders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period the Required Noteholders of such Series of Group II Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Group II Noteholder may not use the Group II Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Group II Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Group II Noteholder.
Section 9.7. Right of Holders to Bring Suit.
Subject to Section 9.6 and Section 10.15 of the Base Indenture, the right of any Group II Noteholder to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or interest on any Group II Note, in each case, on or after the respective due dates therefor expressed in such Group II Note, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Group II Noteholder.
Section 9.8. Collection Suit by the Trustee.
If any Amortization Event arising from the failure to make a payment in respect of a Series of Group II Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against HVF II for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Group II Notes of such Series of Group II Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 9.9. The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Group II Noteholders relating to the Group II Indenture Collateral or the Group II Note Obligations allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to HVF II (or any other obligor upon the Group II Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Group II Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Group II Noteholders, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.5 of the Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.5 of the Base Indenture out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money and other properties which such Group II Noteholders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any such Group II Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Group II Notes of any Group II Noteholder or the rights of any such Group II Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Group II Noteholder in any such proceeding.
Section 9.10. Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, the Trustee shall pay out the money in accordance with the provisions of Article V.
Section 9.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders of Group II Notes is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under the Group II Indenture or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under the Group II Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other valid right or remedy.
Section 9.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Group II Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Amortization Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Amortization Event or acquiescence thereto (other than any such right or remedy that by its terms requires such Amortization Event to be continuing at the time of exercising such right or remedy). Every right and remedy given by this Article IX or by law to the Trustee or to each Group II Noteholder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or such Group II Noteholder, as the case may be.
Section 9.13. Reassignment of Surplus.
After termination of this Group II Supplement and the payment in full of the Group II Note Obligations, any proceeds of the Group II Indenture Collateral received or held by the Trustee shall be turned over to HVF II and the Group II Indenture Collateral shall be reassigned to HVF II by the Trustee without recourse to the Trustee and without any representations, warranties or agreements of any kind.

(i) to create a new Series of Group II Notes;
(ii) to add to the covenants of HVF II for the benefit of any Group II Noteholders (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all Series of Group II Notes, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such Series of Group II Notes) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon HVF II (provided, however, that HVF II will not pursuant to this Section 10.1(a)(ii) surrender any right or power it has under any Group II Related Documents);
(iii) to mortgage, pledge, convey, assign and transfer to the Trustee any additional property or assets, or increase the amount of such property or assets that are required as security for the Group II Notes and to specify the terms and conditions upon which such additional property or assets are to be held and dealt with by the Trustee and to set forth such other provisions in respect thereof as may be required by the Group II Supplement or as may, consistent with the provisions of the Group II Supplement, be deemed appropriate by HVF II and the Trustee, or to correct or amplify the description of any such property or assets at any time so mortgaged, pledged, conveyed and transferred to the Trustee on behalf of the Group II Noteholders;

provided, however, that, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of HVF II, such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Group II Noteholder or Group II Series Enhancement Provider.
(b) Group II Series Supplements. Upon the request of HVF II and receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 2.2, the Trustee shall join with HVF II in the execution of any Group II Series Supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of the Group II Supplement and shall make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such Group II Series Supplement that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under the Group II Indenture or otherwise.
Section 10.2. With Consent of the Noteholders.
(a) Except as provided in Section 10.1, the provisions of this Group II Supplement may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if (i) such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and is consented to in writing by HVF II, the Trustee and, unless otherwise specified in a Group II Series Supplement for a Series of Group II Notes, the Group II Noteholders holding in excess of 50% of the aggregate Principal Amount of each Series of Group II Notes materially adversely affected thereby, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of HVF II to such effect and (ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment, modification, or waiver; provided that, (x) any amendment, modification or waiver of this Group II Supplement that materially and adversely affects all the Group II Notes, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of HVF II, shall require the consent of the Requisite Group II Investors rather than the Required Series Noteholders of each Series of Group II Notes; and (y) HVF II shall be permitted to issue any Subordinated Series of Group II Notes and effect any amendments hereto reasonably necessary to effect such issuance without the consent of any Group II Noteholder (other than the Required Noteholders of each such previously issued
18
Subordinated Series of Group II Notes); provided that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Group II Notes Outstanding shall have been satisfied with respect to such issuance of such Subordinated Series of Group II Notes and that each Subordinated Series of Group II Notes shall be deemed to be subordinated in all material respects to each Series of Group II Notes.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject, in each case, to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Group II Notes Outstanding):
(i) any modification of this Section 10.2 or any requirement hereunder that any particular action be taken by Group II Noteholders holding the relevant percentage in Principal Amount of the Group II Notes shall require the consent of each Group II Noteholder materially adversely affected thereby;
(ii) any amendment, waiver or other modification to this Group II Supplement or any Group II Series Supplement that would (A) extend the due date for, or reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Group II Note, or the amount of any scheduled repayment or prepayment of interest on any Group II Note (or reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on any Group II Note) shall require the consent of each holder of such Group II Note materially adversely affected thereby; (B) affect adversely in any material respect the interests, rights or obligations of any Group II Noteholder individually in comparison to any other Group II Noteholder shall require the consent of such Group II Noteholder; or (C) amend or otherwise modify any Amortization Event shall require the consent of each Group II Noteholder to which such Amortization Event applies that would be materially adversely affected thereby; and
(iii) any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (A) approve the assignment or transfer by HVF II of any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Group II Related Document to which it is a party, except in each case pursuant to the express terms hereof or thereof or (B) release any obligor under any Group II Related Documents to which it is a party, except pursuant to the express terms hereof or of such Related Document, shall require in each case the consent of the Group II Required Noteholders, unless, with respect to any such case set forth in the preceding clauses (A) and (B), as otherwise set forth in the Group II Series Supplement with respect to such Group II Noteholders; provided, however, that if any such amendment, waiver, or other modification relating to a Group II Related Document that relates solely to a single Series of Group II Notes (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of HVF II), then all other Series of Group II Notes shall be deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of obtaining the foregoing consent (and the related calculation of Group II Required Noteholders shall be modified accordingly); provided, further that with respect to any such amendment, waiver or other modification relating to a Group II Related Document or portion thereof that does not adversely affect in any material respect a Series of Group II Notes, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of HVF II, then such Series of Group II Notes shall be deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of the foregoing consent (and the calculation of Group II Required Noteholders shall be modified accordingly).
19
(c) No failure or delay on the part of any Group II Noteholder or the Trustee in exercising any power or right under this Group II Supplement or any other Group II Related Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section for such Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such Person consents to the substance thereof.
(e) HVF II will not consent to the issuance of any series of notes by a Leasing Company under its Leasing Company Indenture that is secured by the same pool of assets that is direct collateral for a Group II Leasing Company Note without the prior written consent of the Requisite Group II Investors.
Section 10.3. Supplements and Amendments.
Each amendment or other modification to this Group II Supplement shall be set forth in a Group II Supplemental Indenture. The initial effectiveness of each Group II Supplemental Indenture shall be subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Group II Notes Outstanding and the delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Group II Supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Group II Supplement. Subject to the terms hereof, each Group II Series Supplement may be amended as provided in such Group II Series Supplement.
Section 10.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Group II Noteholder of a Group II Note is a continuing consent by the Group II Noteholder and every subsequent Group II Noteholder of a Group II Note or portion of a Group II Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Group II Noteholder’s Group II Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Group II Note. Any such Group II Noteholder or subsequent Group II Noteholder may, however, revoke the consent as to his Group II Note or portion of a Group II Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Group II Noteholder. HVF II may fix a record date for determining which Group II Noteholders are eligible to consent to any amendment or waiver.
Section 10.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Group II Note thereafter authenticated. HVF II, in exchange for all Group II Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Group II Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Group II Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.
20
Section 10.6. The Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any Group II Supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article X if the Group II Supplemental Indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such Group II Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and, subject to Section 7.2 of the Base Indenture, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of HVF II and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such Group II Supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Group II Supplement and that all conditions precedent have been satisfied, and that it will be valid and binding upon HVF II in accordance with its terms.
