(b) To secure the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations, HVF hereby confirms the grant, pledge, hypothecation, assignment, conveyance, delivery and transfer to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency Agreement for the benefit of the Trustee, on behalf of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder, of a continuing Lien on all right, title and interest of HVF in, to and under the Series 2013-G1 HVF Segregated Vehicle Collateral.
(c) The foregoing grant is made in trust to secure the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations and to secure compliance with the provisions of this Series Supplement, all as provided in this Series Supplement.

(d) For all purposes hereunder and for the avoidance of doubt, the Series 2013-G1 Collateral will be held by the Trustee solely for the benefit of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder, and no Noteholder or Segregated Series Noteholder of any Other Segregated Series of Notes will have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Series 2013-G1 Collateral.
For all purposes hereunder and for the avoidance of doubt,
(i) any Series-Specific Collateral pledged to the Trustee for the benefit of any Other Segregated Series of Notes will be held by the Trustee solely for the benefit of the Segregated Noteholders for such Segregated Series of Notes and
(ii) any Collateral pledged to the Trustee for the benefit of the Notes will be held by the Trustee solely for the benefit of the Noteholders and, in each case, the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder shall not have any right, title or interest in, to or under such Series-Specific Collateral or Collateral.
For the avoidance of doubt:
(i) if it is determined that the Segregated Noteholders of any Other Segregated Series of Notes have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Series 2013-G1 Collateral, then (a) such Segregated Noteholders agree that their right, title and interest in, to or under the Series 2013-G1 Collateral shall be subordinate in all respects to the claims or rights of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder with respect to such Series 2013-G1 Collateral and (b) this Series Supplement shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;
(ii) if it is determined that any Noteholders have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Series 2013-G1 Collateral, then (a) such Noteholders agree that their right, title and interest in, to or under such Series 2013-G1 Collateral shall be subordinate in all respects to the claims or rights of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder and (b) this Series Supplement shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; and
(iii) if it is determined that the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder has any right, title or interest in, to or under the Collateral or any Series-Specific Collateral for any Other Segregated Series of Notes, then (a) such Series 2013-G1 Noteholder agrees that its right, title and interest in, to or under such Collateral or Series-Specific Collateral, as applicable, shall be subordinate in all respects to the claims or rights of the Noteholders or the Segregated Noteholders of the Other Segregated Series of Notes to which such Series Specific Collateral relates, as applicable and (b) this Series Supplement shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 4.2. Certain Rights and Obligations of HVF Unaffected.
(a) Notwithstanding the assignment and security interest so granted to the Trustee on behalf of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder, HVF shall nevertheless be permitted,
subject to the Trustee’s right to revoke such permission with respect to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral in the event of a Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event (whose right to so revoke shall be subject to any additional conditions set forth in the HVF II Group I Indenture) and subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, to give all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers, if any, that are required to be given (which does not include waivers of default under any of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral Agreements). For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the rights of the Trustee or the Lessor under the Series 2013-G1 Lease, so long as no Servicer Default or HVF II Group I Liquidation Event has occurred and is continuing, HVF shall not be required to take any action or exercise any rights, remedies, powers or privileges with respect to any Manufacturer to the extent the Servicer determines that such inaction or failure to exercise is in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(b) The assignment of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral to the Trustee on behalf of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder shall not (i) relieve HVF from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement relating to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral on HVF’s part to be performed or observed under or in connection with any of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral Agreements or any of the Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer Programs or (ii) impose any obligation on the Trustee or the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on HVF’s part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on the Trustee or any of such Series 2013-G1 Noteholder for any act or omission on the part of HVF or from any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of HVF.
Section 4.3. Performance of Series 2013-G1 Collateral Agreements.
Upon the occurrence of a default or breach by any Person party to a Series 2013-G1 Collateral Agreement, promptly following a request from the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to do so, and at HVF’s expense, HVF agrees to take all such lawful action as permitted under this Series Supplement as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by:
(a) the Nominee, HGI, the Series 2013-G1 Administrator, the Servicer, any Lessee, the Intermediary or the Escrow Agent or any other party to any of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral Agreements of its obligations to HVF, solely to the extent that such obligations relate to or otherwise affect the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations;
(b) on any date on or after the RCFC Nominee Trigger Date, RCFC of its obligations to HVF, solely to the extent that such obligations relate to or otherwise affect the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations; provided that, if (i) such date occurs on or after the RCFC Nominee Qualification Date and (ii) the Series 0000-X0 Xxxxxxxxx Asset Amount as of such date (excluding therefrom the Net Book Value of all Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicles the Certificates of Title for which are then titled in the name of RCFC) shall be not be less than the Series 2013-G1 Asset Coverage Threshold Amount as of such date, then HVF shall not be required to take any such action or exercise any such rights, remedies, powers or privileges with respect to RCFC; and
(c) a Manufacturer under a Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer Program of its obligations to HVF, solely to the extent that such obligations relate to or otherwise affect any Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles or Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer Receivables, in each case, in accordance with the applicable terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges relating to such Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles as are lawfully available to HVF to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, including the transmission of notices of default and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure such performance by such parties or any other party to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral Agreements or by a Manufacturer under a Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer Program; provided that, without limiting the rights of the Trustee or the Lessor under the Series 2013-G1 Lease, so long as no Servicer Default or HVF II Group I Liquidation Event has occurred and is continuing, HVF shall not be required to take any such action or exercise any such rights, remedies, powers or privileges with respect to any Manufacturer to the extent such inaction or failure to exercise is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, if:
(i) HVF shall have failed, within thirty (30) days of receiving such direction of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable,
(ii) HVF refuses to take any such action, or
(iii) the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately (and, in the event that the action is of the type described in the proviso to the preceding sentence and no Servicer Default or HVF II Group I Liquidation Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer has notified the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, that such action is commercially reasonable), then in any such case the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may, but shall not be obligated to, take, at the expense of HVF, such previously directed action and any related action permitted under this Series Supplement (provided such action relates to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations) that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, thereafter determines is appropriate (without the need under this provision or any other provision under this Series Supplement to direct HVF to take such action), on behalf of HVF and the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder.
Section 4.4. Release of Series 2013-G1 Collateral.
(a) The Trustee shall, when required by the provisions of this Series Supplement, execute instruments to release Series 2013-G1 Collateral from the lien of this Series Supplement or convey the Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Series Supplement. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Trustee as provided in this Section 4.4(a) 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) With respect to each Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicle, on the Disposition Date with respect to such Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicle, any Lien of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent on such Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicle shall automatically be deemed to be released.
(c) The Trustee shall, at such time as there is no Series 2013-G1 Note Outstanding and no other Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations remain unpaid, release any remaining portion of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral from the lien of the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement and release to HVF any funds then on deposit in the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account. The Trustee shall release property from the lien of the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement pursuant to this Section 4.4(c) only upon receipt of a Company Order accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate meeting the applicable requirements of Section 13.3 of the Base Indenture.
Section 4.5. Opinions of Counsel.
The Trustee shall receive at least seven (7) days’ notice when requested by HVF to take any action pursuant to Section 4.4(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Series 2013-G1 Note or the rights of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder, in each case, in a manner not permitted by the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents; provided however that, such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Series 2013-G1 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.

ARTICLE VI
ALLOCATION AND APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS
Section 6.1. Series 2013-G1 Collection Account.
With respect to the Series 2013-G1 Note, the following shall apply:
(a) Establishment of Series 2013-G1 Collection Account. On or prior to the Series 2013-G1 Closing Date, HVF, the Securities Intermediary and the Trustee established a securities account (such account, or any successor or replacement account, the “Series 2013-G1 Collection Account”) in the name of, and under the control of, the Trustee that is and will be maintained for the benefit of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder. The Series 2013-G1 Collection Account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder. The Series 2013-G1 Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account is at any time no longer an Eligible Account, HVF shall, within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining knowledge that the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account is no longer an
Eligible Account, establish a new Series 2013-G1 Collection Account that is an Eligible Account. If a new Series 2013-G1 Collection Account is established, HVF shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2013-G1 Collection Account into the new Series 2013-G1 Collection Account. Initially, the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account will be established with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
(b) Earnings from Series 2013-G1 Collection Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account shall be deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution unless previously distributed pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) Administration of Series 2013-G1 Collection Account. HVF may instruct (by standing instructions or otherwise) the institution maintaining the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account to invest funds on deposit in such Account from time to time in Series 2013-G1 Permitted Investments; provided however that, (x) any such investment in the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account shall mature not later than the Business Day following the date on which such funds were received (including funds received upon a payment in respect of a Series 2013-G1 Permitted Investment made with funds on deposit in the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account) and (y) any such investment in the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the first Payment Date following the date on which such funds were received (including funds received upon a payment in respect of a Series 2013-G1 Permitted Investment made with funds on deposit in such Account), unless any such Series 2013-G1 Permitted Investment is held with the Trustee, in which case such investment may mature on such Payment Date so long as such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Payment Date. HVF shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Series 2013-G1 Permitted Investments prior to the maturity date thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the initial purchase price of such Series 2013-G1 Permitted Investment. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account shall remain uninvested. The Trustee shall have no liability for any losses incurred as a result of investments made at the direction of HVF, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to monitor the investment rating of any Permitted Investment.
(d) Trustee as Securities Intermediary. The Trustee or other Person holding the Series 2013-G1 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”). If the Securities Intermediary in respect of the Series 2013-G1 Collection Accounts is not the Trustee, HVF shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 6.1(d).
(i) The Securities Intermediary agrees that:
(1) The Series 2013-G1 Collection Account is an account to which Financial Assets will be credited;
(2) All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Series 2013-G1 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 Series 2013-G1 Collection Account be registered in the name of HVF, payable to the order of HVF or specially indorsed to HVF;
(3) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Series Supplement will be promptly credited to the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account;
(4) Each item of property (whether investment property, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;
(5) 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 Series 2013-G1 Collection Account or the disposition of funds credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order or instruction without further consent by HVF or the Series 2013-G1 Administrator;
(6) The Series 2013-G1 Collection Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision of any other agreement.

A Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event described in clauses (a) through (g), (l) (with respect to (I) any agreement, covenant or provision in the Base Indenture that requires the consent of Series 2013-G1 Noteholders holding 100% of the Series 2013-G1 Principal Amount or that otherwise prohibits HVF from taking any action without the consent of Series 2013-G1 Noteholders holding 100% of the Series 2013-G1 Principal Amount or (II) any agreement, covenant or provision in the Series 2013-G1 Note, this Series Supplement or any other Series 2013-G1 Related Document the amendment or modification of which requires the consent of each HVF II Group I Noteholder or that otherwise prohibits HVF from taking any action without the consent of each HVF II Group I Noteholder), and any Series 2013-G1 Potential Amortization Event relating to any such Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event, may be waived solely with the written consent of each HVF II Group I Noteholder. Any other Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event described in clauses (h), (i), (j), (k), (l) (other than with respect to (I) any agreement, covenant or provision in the Base Indenture that requires the consent of Series 2013-G1 Noteholders holding 100% of the Series 2013-G1 Principal Amount or that otherwise prohibits HVF from taking any action without the consent of Series 2013-G1 Noteholders holding 100% of the Series 2013-G1 Principal Amount or (II) any agreement, covenant or provision in the Series 2013-G1 Note, this Series Supplement or any other Series 2013-G1 Related Document the amendment or modification of which requires the consent of each HVF II Group I Noteholder or that otherwise prohibits HVF from taking any action without the consent of each HVF II Group I Noteholder), (m), (n) or (o) above may be waived with the written consent of both HVF II, as the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder, and the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors.
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event described in clauses (h) and (i) above shall be curable at any time.
For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Series 2013-G1 Potential Amortization Event, if the event or condition giving rise (directly or indirectly) to such Series 2013-G1 Potential Amortization Event ceases to be continuing (through cure, waiver or otherwise), then such Series 2013-G1 Potential Amortization Event will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose under the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents.
Section 10.2. Rights of the Trustee upon Amortization Event or Certain Other Events of Default.
(a) General. If any Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors, shall, direct HVF and the Collateral Agent to exercise (and HVF agrees to exercise) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims, if any, of HVF relating to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral against any party to any Series 2013-G1 Related Documents arising as a result of the occurrence of such Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event, including the right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by any such party of its obligations to HVF as such obligations relate to the Series 0000-X0 Xxxxxxxxxx; provided however, that if such Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event results in an HVF II Amortization Event with respect to less than all HVF II Series of Group I Notes Outstanding, then the Trustee’s rights and remedies pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2(a) shall,
to the extent not detrimental to the rights of the holders of the HVF II Series of Group I Notes Outstanding with respect to which no HVF II Amortization Event shall have occurred, be limited to rights and remedies pertaining only to those HVF II Series of Group I Notes with respect to which an HVF II Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee shall exercise such rights and remedies at the written direction of the HVF II Group I Noteholders holding in excess of 50% of the aggregate HVF II Principal Amount of all such HVF II Series of Group I Notes with respect to which an HVF II Amortization Event has occurred, to the extent that such rights and remedies relate to Series 2013-G1 Collateral or the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations.
(b) HVF II Group I Liquidation Event.
(i) If an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to an HVF II Series of Group I Notes, then the Trustee may, and, at the written direction of the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors (in the case where such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to all HVF II Series of Group I Notes) or at the written direction of the HVF II Required Series Noteholders of any HVF II Series of Group I Notes with respect to which such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred (in the case where such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to less than all HVF II Series of Group I Notes), shall, promptly instruct the Collateral Agent to return or to cause HVF or the applicable Lessees to return Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles to the related Series 2013-G1 Manufacturers and to sell Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicles or cause Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicles to be sold to third parties in an aggregate amount sufficient to pay the lesser of all interest on and principal of such HVF II Series of Group I Notes experiencing an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event and the amount payable in respect of such HVF II Series of Group I Notes after the occurrence of such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event as set forth in the HVF II Group I Supplement, taking into account the availability of proceeds of all other vehicles being disposed of that have been pledged to secure such HVF II Series of Group I Notes, and to the extent that any Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer fails to accept any such Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles under the terms of the applicable Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer Program to direct the Collateral Agent to liquidate or to cause HVF or the applicable Lessees to liquidate such Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles in accordance with the rights of HVF under the Series 2013-G1 Lease; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and HVF shall not select the Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles to be returned to the related Series 2013-G1 Manufacturers and the Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicles to be sold to third parties in a manner that adversely affects in any material respect the interests of the HVF II Group I Noteholders of any HVF II Series of Group I Notes in comparison to the interests of the HVF II Group I Noteholders of any other HVF II Series of Group I Notes.
(ii) If and whenever an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Trustee may, and, at the written direction of the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors (in the case where such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to all HVF II Series of Group I Notes) or at the
written direction of the HVF II Required Series Noteholders of any HVF II Series of Group I Notes with respect to which such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred (in the case where such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to less than all HVF II Series of Group I Notes), shall, direct HVF to terminate the Power of Attorney granted to the Nominee-Servicer with respect to the Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicles pursuant to the Nominee Agreement and direct the Nominee to grant a Power of Attorney to or at the written direction of HVF or the applicable HVF POA Revocation Party, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Nominee Agreement; provided that, upon the cessation of such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event, such Power of Attorney previously granted to the Nominee-Servicer may be restored by any means necessary (including re-executing such Power of Attorney in favor of the Nominee-Servicer) to permit the Nominee-Servicer to perform the functions performed by the Nominee-Servicer under the Nominee Agreement prior to the occurrence of such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event.
(iii) On any date during the RCFC Nominee Non-Qualified Period, if an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Trustee may, and, at the written direction of the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors (in the case where such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to all HVF II Series of Group I Notes) or at the written direction of the HVF II Required Series Noteholders of any HVF II Series of Group I Notes with respect to which such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred (in the case where such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to less than all HVF II Series of Group I Notes), shall, direct HVF to terminate the Power of Attorney granted to the RCFC Nominee-Servicer pursuant to the RCFC Nominee Agreement with respect to the Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicles subject thereto and direct the RCFC Nominee to grant a Power of Attorney to or at the written direction of HVF or the RCFC POA Revocation Party, as the case may be, pursuant to the RCFC Nominee Agreement; provided that, upon the cessation of such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event, such Power of Attorney previously granted to the RCFC Nominee-Servicer may be restored by any means necessary (including re-executing such Power of Attorney in favor of the RCFC Nominee-Servicer) to permit the RCFC Nominee-Servicer to perform the functions performed by the RCFC Nominee-Servicer under the RCFC Nominee Agreement prior to the occurrence of such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event.
(iv) On any date occurring on or after the RCFC Nominee Qualification Date, if an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the Series 0000-X0 Xxxxxxxxx Asset Amount as of such date (excluding therefrom the Net Book Value of all Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicles the Certificates of Title for which are then titled in the name of RCFC) shall be less than the Series 2013-G1 Asset Coverage Threshold Amount as of such date, then the Trustee may, and, at the written direction of the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors (in the case where such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to all HVF II Series of Group I Notes) or at the written direction of the HVF II Required Series Noteholders of any HVF II Series of Group I Notes with respect to which such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred (in the case where such HVF II
Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to less than all HVF II Series of Group I Notes), shall, direct HVF to terminate the Power of Attorney granted to the RCFC Nominee-Servicer pursuant to the RCFC Nominee Agreement with respect to the Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicles subject thereto and direct the RCFC Nominee to grant a Power of Attorney to or at the written direction of HVF or the RCFC POA Revocation Party, as the case may be, pursuant to the RCFC Nominee Agreement; provided that, upon the cessation of such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event, such Power of Attorney previously granted to the RCFC Nominee-Servicer may be restored by any means necessary (including re-executing such Power of Attorney in favor of the RCFC Nominee-Servicer) to permit the RCFC Nominee-Servicer to perform the functions performed by the RCFC Nominee-Servicer under the RCFC Nominee Agreement prior to the occurrence of such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Series Supplement, if a Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event occurs and is continuing, then any of the Trustee or HVF II Trustee may pursue any remedy available to it on behalf of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder under applicable law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Series 2013-G1 Note or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Series 2013-G1 Note or this Series Supplement.
(d) Any of the Trustee or the HVF II Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess the Series 2013-G1 Note or does not produce any of them in the proceeding, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the HVF II Trustee shall be in its own name as trustee. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.2 to the contrary, the Trustee’s and the HVF II Trustee’s rights and remedies pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be exercised only to the extent that (i) such exercise is not detrimental to the rights of the holders of the Notes or the Segregated Notes of any Other Segregated Series of Notes and (ii) such rights and remedies relate solely to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations.
(f) Any amounts relating to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations obtained by the Trustee or the HVF II Trustee (or by the Collateral Agent at the written direction of the Trustee or the HVF II Trustee) on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee or the HVF II Trustee of any right shall be held by the Trustee or the HVF II Trustee as additional collateral for the repayment of Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations and shall be applied as provided in Article VII.
(g) Failure of HVF or the Collateral Agent to Take Action. If
(i) HVF or the Collateral Agent shall have failed, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the direction of the Trustee or the HVF II Trustee, to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish directions of the Trustee given pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) above,
(ii) HVF or the Collateral Agent refuses to take such action, or
(iii) subject to Section 10.2(e), the Trustee reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately,
then the Trustee may (and at the written direction of the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors (in the case where such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to all HVF II Series of Group I Notes) or at the written direction of the HVF II Required Series Noteholders of any HVF II Series of Group I Notes with respect to which such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred (in the case where such HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is with respect to less than all HVF II Series of Group I Notes) shall) take such previously directed action pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.2(a) or (b) (and any related action as permitted under this Series Supplement thereafter determined by the Trustee to be appropriate without the need under this provision or any other provision under this Series Supplement to direct HVF or the Collateral Agent to take such action). The Trustee may direct the Collateral Agent to institute legal proceedings for the appointment of a receiver or receivers to take possession of the Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicles pending the sale thereof pursuant either to the powers of sale granted by the this Series Supplement, the Collateral Agency Agreement and the other Series 2013-G1 Related Documents or to a judgment, order or decree made in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this Series Supplement.
(h) Sale of Series 2013-G1 Collateral. Upon any sale of any of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral directly by the Trustee, or by the Collateral Agent at the written direction of the Trustee, whether made under the power of sale given under this Section 10.3(h) or under judgment, order or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of the Base Indenture or this Series Supplement:
(i) the Trustee and any Indenture Noteholder may bid for and purchase the property being sold, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability;
(ii) the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent at the written direction of the Trustee, may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed, xxxx of sale and instrument of assignment and transfer of the property sold;
(iii) all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity or otherwise, of HVF of, in and to the property so sold shall be divested; and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against HVF, its successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the property sold or any part thereof from, through or under HVF or its successors or assigns;
(iv) the receipt of the Trustee or of the officer thereof making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale for his
or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee or of such officer therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof; and
(v) to the extent that it may lawfully do so, HVF agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, or any law permitting it to direct the order in which the Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicles shall be sold, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Series Supplement.
Section 10.3. Control by Series 2013-G1 Required Noteholders.
With respect to any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee on behalf of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee relating to the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations or the Series 2013-G1 Collateral, the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors (in the case where such remedy is with respect to all HVF II Series of Group I Notes) or the HVF II Required Series Noteholders of any HVF II Series of Group I Notes with respect to which such remedy shall benefit (in the case where such remedy is with respect to less than all HVF II Series of Group I Notes) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee on behalf of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee relating to the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations or the Series 2013-G1 Collateral. However, subject to Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, the Base Indenture or this Series Supplement, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Indenture Noteholders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 10.4. Collection Suit by the Trustee.
If any Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event arising from the failure to make a payment in respect of the Series 2013-G1 Note occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against HVF for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Series 2013-G1 Note 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; provided, that the Trustee shall not be permitted to recover such a judgment from any Collateral or any Series-Specific Collateral relating to any Other Segregated Series of Notes Outstanding.
Section 10.5. 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 Series 2013-G1 Noteholder relating to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or the Series 2013-G1 Note Obligations allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to HVF (or any other obligor upon the Series 2013-G1 Note), 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 the Series 2013-G1 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 Series 2013-G1 Noteholder, 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 9.5 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 9.5 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 Series 2013-G1 Noteholder 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 Series 2013-G1 Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Series 2013-G1 Note or the rights of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder in any such proceeding.
Section 10.6. 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 VII and Article X.
Section 10.7. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or Series 2013-G1 Noteholder 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 this Series Supplement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under this Series Supplement, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 10.8. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any Series 2013-G1 Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article X or Article IX of the Base Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient,
by the Trustee or by the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.8 shall be subject to and qualified in its entirety by the final paragraph of Section 11.7.

No failure or delay on the part of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder or the Trustee in exercising any power or right under this Series Supplement or any other Series 2013-G1 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; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any exercise of any such right or power shall remain subject to each condition expressly specified in any Series 2013-G1 Related Document with respect to such exercise.

Each of the Trustee and HVF hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing “Note” (as defined in the HVF II Base Indenture), it will not institute against, or join with, encourage or cooperate with any other Person in instituting, against HVF II or the HVF II General Partner any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided, however, that, nothing in this Section 11.11 shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from HVF II pursuant to this Series Supplement. In the event that HVF or the Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 11.11, HVF II, the HVF II General Partner or its Independent Director, as the case may be, shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by HVF or the Trustee against HVF II or the HVF II General Partner, as the case may be, or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that HVF or the Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded
therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall survive the termination of this Series Supplement, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by HVF or the Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving HVF II, the HVF II General Partner or its Independent Director.
Section 11.12. No Recourse.
The obligations of HVF hereunder are solely the obligations of HVF. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Series Supplement against any member, employee, officer or director of HVF. Fees, expenses, costs or other obligations payable by HVF hereunder shall be payable by HVF to the extent and only to the extent that HVF is reimbursed therefor pursuant to any of the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents. In the event that HVF is not reimbursed for such fees, expenses, costs or other obligations, the excess unpaid amount of such fees, expenses, costs or other obligations shall in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, HVF. Nothing in this Section 11.12 shall be construed to limit the Trustee from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral.
Section 11.13. Third Party Beneficiary. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the HVF II Trustee (for the benefit of the HVF II Group I Noteholders) shall be a third party beneficiary of, and shall be entitled to enforce rights and remedies under, this Series Supplement to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 11.14. Waiver of Jury Trial.
EACH OF HVF AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE BASE INDENTURE OR THIS SERIES SUPPLEMENT, THE SERIES 2013-G1 NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 11.15. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court in New York County or federal court of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Base Indenture or this Series Supplement, the Series 2013-G1 Note or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment arising out of or relating to the Base Indenture or this Series Supplement, the Series 2013-G1 Note or the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, federal court; (iii) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; (iv) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
such action or proceeding in any such court and any objection it may now or hereafter have that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court, and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (v) consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 13.1 of the Base Indenture (provided that, nothing in this Series Supplement shall affect the right of any such party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law).
Section 11.16. Representations and Warranties of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder. The Series 2013-G1 Noteholder hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Annex 1 hereto.
Section 11.17. Additional Trustee Provisions.
(a) HVF hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses arising out of or resulting from the assignment granted by this Series Supplement or, solely with respect to the Series 2013-G1 HVF Segregated Vehicle Collateral, by the Collateral Agency Agreement, whether arising by virtue of any act or omission on the part of HVF or otherwise, including, without limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee in enforcing this Series Supplement or the Segregated Series 2013-G1 Documents or preserving any of its rights to, or realizing upon, any of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral; provided, however, the foregoing indemnification shall not extend to any action by the Trustee which constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Trustee. The indemnification provided for in this Section 11.17(a) shall survive the removal of, or a resignation by, such Person as Trustee as well as the termination of this Series Supplement or any Segregated Series 2013-G1 Document.
(b) HVF shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any loss, liability, claim, expense (including taxes, other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee), damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of or in connection with the activities of the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Series Supplement or any Segregated Series 2013-G1 Document, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding, claim (whether asserted by HVF or the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Series Supplement, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 11.17(b); provided, however, that HVF shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute bad faith or negligence by the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee, as the case may be. The indemnity provided in this Section 11.17(b) shall survive the termination of this Series Supplement and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.
(c) Solely with respect to the responsibility and liability of the Trustee under this Series Supplement, in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, punitive, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
(d) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Series 2013-G1 Potential Amortization Event or Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event unless a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such Series 2013-G1 Potential Amortization Event or Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Series 2013-G1 Note or this Series Supplement.
ARTICLE XII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 12.1. Duties of the Trustee.
(a) If a Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided however that, the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of a Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event of which a Trust Officer has not received written notice. The preceding sentence shall not have the effect of insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of a Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event:
(i) The Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Series Supplement and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Series Supplement against the Trustee; and
(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Series Supplement; however, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine such certificates or opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Series Supplement (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). Except as otherwise provided, the delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee
is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including HVF’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) This clause does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 12.1.
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 10.3.
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default by any Person in the performance of its obligations under any Series 2013-G1 Related Document, unless a Trust Officer receives written notice of such failure from HVF, Hertz or the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder (or its assign) or otherwise has actual knowledge thereof.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Series Supplement or any of the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents, no provision of this Series Supplement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability (financial or otherwise) if there are reasonable grounds (as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion) for believing that the repayment of such funds is not reasonably assured to it by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Series Supplement. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any risk, loss, liability or expense.
(e) Subject to Section 10.3 of the Base Indenture, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents.
(f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Series Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.1.
(g) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Series 2013-G1 Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and, unless
directed by the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors, the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Series 2013-G1 Collateral. The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral in its possession if the Series 2013-G1 Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral, by reason of the act or omission or any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee with due care in good faith.
(h) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of HVF to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral, for insuring the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Series 2013-G1 Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Series 2013-G1 Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Series Supplement or the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents by HVF or the Collateral Agent.
Section 12.2. Rights of the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided by Section 12.1:
(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting based upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by or presented by the proper person.
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
(c) The Trustee may act through agents, custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care. The appointment of agents (other than legal counsel) pursuant to this clause (c) shall be subject to the prior consent of HVF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by the Base Indenture or this Series Supplement.
(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Series Supplement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder or the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors, pursuant to the provisions of the Base Indenture or this Series Supplement, unless the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder or the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors, as the case may be, shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of a default by any Lessee, the Servicer, the Nominee, HGI or HVF (which, in any such case, has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Base Indenture or this Series Supplement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this clause (e) shall not modify any rights or duties of the Trustee with respect to any Series of Indenture Notes other than the Series 2013 G-1 Note.
(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors. If the Trustee is so requested by the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors or determines in its own discretion to make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit, the Trustee shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice and upon reasonable request, to examine the books, records and premises of HVF, personally or by agent or attorney, at the sole cost of HVF and the Trustee shall incur no liability by reason of such inquiry or investigation.
(g) The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses or liquidation penalties in connection with Series 2013-G1 Permitted Investments, unless such losses or liquidation penalties were incurred through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
(h) The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor to the Trustee so long as such acts or omissions were not the result of the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the predecessor Trustee.
(i) The Trustee shall not be required to take any action pursuant to any request or direction of HVF unless such request or direction is sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order.
(j) Whenever in the administration of this Series Supplement the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.
(k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder.
(l) The Trustee may request that HVF deliver an incumbency certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to the Base Indenture or this Series Supplement, which incumbency certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.
(m) In acting under the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement, the Trustee may obtain a written direction from the Servicer to clarify the identification of any Series 2013-G1 Collateral and the related beneficiaries thereof.
(n) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware services); it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
Section 12.3. Notice of Amortization Events and Potential Amortization Events.
If a Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event or a Series 2013-G1 Potential Amortization Event occurs and is continuing of which a Trust Officer shall have received written notice, the Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) provide the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder, HVF and each Rating Agency with notice of such Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event or Series 2013-G1 Potential Amortization Event, to the extent that the Series 2013-G1 Note is a Book-Entry Note, by telephone and facsimile and otherwise by first class mail.
Section 12.4. Compensation.
(a) HVF shall promptly pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Series Supplement and services hereunder as the Trustee and HVF shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. HVF shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such
expenses shall include (i) the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel and (ii) the reasonable expenses of the Trustee’s agents.
(b) HVF shall not be required to reimburse any expense or indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability, or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence.
(c) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code.
(d) The provisions of this Section 12.4 shall survive the termination of this Series Supplement and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.
Section 12.5. Replacement of the Trustee.
So long as no Series of Notes is Outstanding:
(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 12.5.
(b) The Trustee may, after giving forty-five (45) days prior written notice to HVF, the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder and each Rating Agency, resign at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created; provided, however, that no such resignation of the Trustee shall be effective until a successor trustee has assumed the obligations of the Trustee hereunder. The HVF II Requisite Group I Investors may remove the Trustee with respect to the trust hereby created at any time by so notifying the Trustee and HVF. So long as no Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Series 2013-G1 Note, HVF may remove the Trustee at any time. HVF shall remove the Trustee if:
(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.8(a) of the Base Indenture;
(ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under the Bankruptcy Code;
(iii) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, HVF shall promptly appoint a successor trustee. Within one year after the successor trustee takes office, the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors may appoint a successor trustee to replace the successor trustee appointed by HVF.
(c) If a successor trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, at the expense of HVF, HVF or the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(d) If the Trustee after written request by the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors fails to comply with Section 10.8(b) of the Base Indenture, the HVF II Requisite Group I Investors may (i) petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee or (ii) remove the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.5(b), provided that, a successor trustee has been appointed and accepted such appointment prior to the effective date of such removal.
(e) A successor trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or removed Trustee and to HVF. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Series Supplement. The successor trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor trustee; provided, however, that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 12.5, HVF’s obligations under Section 12.4 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
Section 12.6. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Series Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Series 0000-X0 Xxxxxxxxx Collateral may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Series 0000-X0 Xxxxxxxxx Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholders, such title to the Series 0000-X0 Xxxxxxxxx Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 12.6, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.8(a) of the Base Indenture and no notice to Series 2013-G1 Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 12.5. No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of HVF unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) The Series 2013-G1 Note shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee;
(ii) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform, such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Series 0000-X0 Xxxxxxxxx Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(iii) No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iv) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Series Supplement and the conditions of this Article XII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Series Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Series Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to HVF.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to this Series Supplement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, HVF and the Trustee have caused this Series Supplement to be duly executed by their respective officers hereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.
