(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.

(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.

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.
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
11
WEIL:\95390710\1\99910.6247
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.

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.

(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 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.

(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 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.

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.

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 RCFC Collateral Agency Agreement).

26
WEIL:\95390710\1\99910.6247
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

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
28
WEIL:\95390710\1\99910.6247
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.
29
WEIL:\95390710\1\99910.6247
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. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.12 shall be subject to and qualified in its entirety by Section 10.2(c).
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.
