(C) | THE OTHER SECURITY AGREEMENT CONSENTING PARTIES identified as such on the signature pages to this Security Agreement (each, a “Security Agreement Consenting Party” and, collectively, the “Security Agreement Consenting Parties”). |
BACKGROUND
1. | World Omni LT, an Alabama trust (the “Alabama Trust”), and certain of the Security Agreement Consenting Parties have entered into (1) the Existing Back-Up Security Agreement and (2) the Existing Security Agreement (each as defined in the Collateral Agency Agreement (as defined below)). |
2. | Under the Existing Back-Up Security Agreement, the Alabama Trust pledged certain of its assets to secure (subject to the limitations and conditions set forth therein) the obligations of Auto Lease Finance L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ALF LP”) under the Existing Warehouse Facilities (as defined in the Collateral Agency Agreement). |
3. | As of the date of this Security Agreement, the Alabama Trust merged with and into WOLT, with WOLT surviving, pursuant to which WOLT, by operation of law (1) assumed all of the obligations of the Alabama Trust under the Existing Back-Up Security Agreement and the Existing Security Agreement and (2) acquired all of the assets of the Alabama Trust subject, to the extent provided by applicable law, to the security interest granted by the Alabama Trust under the Existing Back-Up Security Agreement. |
4. | WOLT, as successor to the Alabama Trust, and the other parties to the Existing Back-Up Security Agreement and the Existing Security Agreement, now wish to amend and restate each such agreement, such amendments and restatements to be incorporated into a single document, this Amended and Restated Security Agreement, as set forth herein. |
5. | Pursuant to the Borrower Novation Agreement (as defined in a Collateral Agency Agreement), effective as of the date of this Security Agreement, ALF LP has transferred to WOLT, by novation, all of ALF LP’s rights and obligations, as the “Borrower” and otherwise, under and in connection with the Existing Warehouse Facilities (as defined in the Collateral Agency Agreement). |
6. | The parties now wish to provide that WOLT will grant a security interest in certain of its assets to secure its obligations under the Existing Warehouse Facilities (as such facilities are to be amended and restated as of the date of this Security Agreement). |
