The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained, in the name of the Master Collateral Agent, a separate account in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof for each Group of Segregated Collateral. The Master Servicer shall designate Related Master Collateral as belonging to a Group of Segregated Collateral, specifying the Group designated. The designation of Related Vehicles with respect to each Beneficiary on the Master Servicer’s computer system shall be considered prima facie evidence of such Beneficiary’s rights with respect to such Related Vehicles and the Related Master Collateral. If at any time a Beneficiary reasonably believes that such designation by the Master Servicer is incorrect, it may dispute such designation by delivering a written notice to the Master Collateral Agent setting forth its claim as to the correct designation of its Related Vehicles (each a "Redesignation"). The Master Collateral Agent shall, promptly upon receipt of such notice, distribute a copy thereof to each Lessee Grantor, RCFC, each Financing Source and each Beneficiary (other than the Beneficiary disputing the Master Servicer’s designation of Related Vehicles). Each such Financing Source and Beneficiary shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice from the Master Collateral Agent, notify the Master Collateral Agent in writing as to whether it consents to the disputing Beneficiary’s Redesignation. If the Master Collateral Agent receives written notice from each such Beneficiary and Financing Source containing its consent to the disputing Beneficiary’s Redesignation within the period set forth above, it shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall effect such Redesignation. Each Beneficiary shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement only with respect to its Related Vehicles and Related Master Collateral. No Beneficiary shall have any interest in (i) any Master Collateral Vehicle which is not a Related Vehicle as to such Beneficiary, (ii) any funds in the Master Collateral Account that are proceeds of any Master Collateral Vehicle which is not a Related Vehicle as to such Beneficiary, (iii) rights under any Vehicle Disposition Program with respect to any Master Collateral Vehicle which is not a Related Vehicle as to such Beneficiary or (iv) any other Master Collateral which is not Related Master Collateral as to such Beneficiary, in each case regardless of the time, order, manner or nature of attachment or perfection of security interests in Master Collateral Vehicles (including the giving of or failure to give notice of any purchase money security interest or other notice, or the order of filing financing statements), or any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, the federal Bankruptcy Code, or other applicable law.
(b) The Qualified Intermediary is designated (pursuant to a Financing Source and Beneficiary Supplement executed by the Qualified Intermediary) as a Beneficiary of (i) any Master Collateral Vehicle that is an Exchanged Vehicle, (ii) any funds in the Master Collateral Account that are proceeds of any Exchanged Vehicle, (iii) any receivables in respect of disposition of any Exchanged Vehicle, and (iv) any other Master Collateral that is designated on the Master Servicer’s computer system as Related Master Collateral for the Qualified Intermediary as Beneficiary hereunder (collectively, the "QI Master Collateral"). No other Beneficiary hereunder shall have any right, title, or interest in, claim to or lien on the QI Master Collateral.
SECTION 2.3. Redesignation of Beneficiaries. RCFC, with respect to the RCFC Master Collateral Vehicles, and each of the Lessee Grantors, with respect to the Lessee Grantor Master Collateral
Vehicles, may from time to time refinance Master Collateral Vehicles related to a particular Financing Source with proceeds from a different Financing Source. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall designate on its computer system the Financing Source the proceeds of which are used to finance or refinance such Master Collateral Vehicles, and, upon repayment of the Financing Source being refinanced, (x) such Master Collateral Vehicles shall automatically constitute Related Vehicles of the specified Beneficiary or Beneficiaries related to such refinancing Financing Source, and (y) such Master Collateral Vehicles shall cease to be Related Vehicles of the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries related to the refinanced Financing Source. In addition, the Master Servicer may from time to time redesignate on its computer system, to a new Beneficiary related to a Financing Source, one or more Master Collateral Vehicles that are Related Vehicles of another Beneficiary related to such Financing Source, if such related Vehicles have been designated to specific Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the Master Servicer to redesignate Master Collateral Vehicles that will, after such a refinancing or other redesignation, cease to be Related Vehicles with respect to a Financing Source or Beneficiary shall be subject to the conditions that immediately after giving effect to such redesignation:
(a)no Default (other than, unless the Required Noteholders of the Series of Notes with respect to which the applicable Insurer Related Amortization Event has occurred shall have instructed the Trustee and the Master Collateral Agent in writing otherwise, an Insurer Related Amortization Event with respect to a Series of Notes) shall exist under the Financing Documents related to such Financing Source or Beneficiary (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right to make such redesignation for the purpose of curing such a Default); and
(b)Unless otherwise specified in the Financing Source and Beneficiary Supplement therefor, such Financing Source or Beneficiary shall have designated to it Related Vehicles with a collateral value (as determined, in accordance with the Financing Documents relating to the Financing Source or with respect to such Beneficiary, by the Person specified therein or, if no such Person is so specified, by the Master Servicer) not less than the minimum collateral value required in such Financing Documents to support the outstanding loans or securities issued under such Financing Documents.
Each designation of a Beneficiary pursuant to Section 2.2, and each redesignation by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.3, shall automatically constitute a representation and warranty by the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Beneficiary to which the Master Collateral Vehicle is being designated or redesignated that (i) with respect to such a redesignation, the conditions in Sections 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) have been met, (ii) with respect to such a redesignation, the loans or securities of the original Financing Source with respect to such refinanced Master Collateral Vehicles have been repaid or, other than with respect to redesignated Master Collateral Vehicles constituting Group IV Collateral, the original Financing Source or Beneficiary with respect to such redesignated Master Collateral has designated to it replacement Related Vehicles with an aggregate Net Book Value equal to or greater than the Net Book Value of such redesignated Master Collateral Vehicles (in each case calculated as of the date of such redesignation) and/or has cash allocated to it constituting collateral securing its loans or securities (including in the form of Exchange Proceeds, pursuant to an increase in the applicable Exchange Agreement Rights Value) in amount at least equal to such Net Book Value of such redesignated Master Collateral Vehicles and, in the case of such designation of Replacement Vehicles or allocation of cash, RCFC is in compliance with any Maximum Manufacturer Percentage, Maximum Non- Program Percentage and Maximum Program Percentage and any other covenants, agreements or conditions limiting the types of Vehicles and/or Manufacturers applicable to the pool of Vehicles pledged to secure the loans or securities of such original Financing Source or Beneficiary after giving effect to such designation or allocation, and (iii) with respect to any such designation or
redesignation, all Related Vehicles of such Beneficiary constitute Eligible Vehicles under the relevant Financing Documents. Master Collateral Vehicles shall be redesignated hereunder at their respective Net Book Values, calculated in accordance with the Financing Documents relating to the Financing Source with respect to the applicable Beneficiary. Except as provided in Section 2.5(c), no Beneficiary shall have any interest in any Master Collateral Vehicle or other Master Collateral for which it is no longer designated as the Beneficiary, it being understood that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) and repayment of the loans or securities of the original Financing Source with respect to refinanced Master Collateral Vehiclesor or the designation of replacement collateral as described above with respect to other redesignated Master Collateral Vehicles, any such redesignation shall automatically constitute a release by such Beneficiary of any interest therein.
SECTION 2.4. Master Servicer’s Fleet Report . (a) On or prior to the Reporting Date, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Master Collateral Agent a report (which may be on diskette, magnetic tape or other electronic medium acceptable to the Master Collateral Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit C ("Fleet Report"), showing for each Financing Source and each Related Vehicle designated thereto, as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month and after giving effect to the most recent redesignation of Master Collateral Vehicles as of such last day, (i) the related Beneficiary and the Group in respect thereof, (ii) whether such Related Vehicle is a Lessee Grantor Master Collateral Vehicle or an RCFC Master Collateral Vehicle, (iii) the last eight digits of the vehicle identification numbers with respect to such Related Vehicle, and (iv) the Capitalized Cost and Net Book Value of such Related Vehicle (calculated in accordance with the Financing Documents relating to the applicable Financing Source).

Each Fleet Report shall, upon delivery thereof to the Master Collateral Agent, become Exhibit C hereto and shall replace and supersede all prior Fleet Reports in such capacity. The Master Collateral Agent’s sole responsibility with respect to such Fleet Report shall be custodial.
(b)Reporting; Designation. In connection with the identification of one or more Exchanged Vehicles proposed to be redesignated to the Qualified Intermediary under an Exchange Program, the Master Servicer shall prepare the information for reporting on the Reporting Date on a Group by Group basis and upon the exchange of Exchanged Vehicles make the designations in the Master Servicer’s computer system and, if necessary, instruct the Trustee under item (vi) below as to the following:
(i)the YVIN and current Net Book Value of each proposed Exchanged Vehicle;
(ii)the VIN and Capitalized Cost or Net Book Value of each Vehicle, including Replacement Vehicles, if any, to be designated as belonging to a particular Group and as related to the Financing Source and Beneficiaries in substitution for the proposed Exchanged Vehicles;
(iii)the Substitute Exchanged Vehicle Proceeds Amount to be transferred from each Excess Funding Account for each Series of Notes (as defined in the related Series Supplement) within a Group to the Collection Account for each such Series of Notes;
(iv)the increase in Exchange Agreement Rights Value to be designated to the Financing Source and Beneficiaries in substitution for the proposed Exchanged Vehicles, and the amount by which Disposition Proceeds received in respect of Exchanged Vehicles are less than the Net Book Value, (such amount, if positive to be treated as Losses under Financing Documents for a Series of Notes, if so specified in such Financing Documents) of such Exchanged Vehicles;
(v)a calculation setting forth the sum of items (ii), (iii) and (iv) above as at least equaling the aggregate Net Book Values of the proposed Exchanged Vehicles under item (i) above; plus any Losses identified in item (iv) above; and an instruction to the
Trustee to make the transfers in item (iii) above and to the Master Collateral Agent and Servicer on its behalf (pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement) to release its lien on the Exchanged Vehicles and any Certificates of Title related thereto at the time of the transfers and designations in items (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall designate the substitute Vehicles, including Replacement Vehicles, and Exchange Agreement Rights Value in its computer system as Master Collateral related to the Financing Source and Beneficiaries tendering the Exchanged Vehicles (including the proper Group of Segregated Collateral), while simultaneously designating the Exchanged Vehicles and all proceeds thereof as QI Master Collateral related to the Qualified Intermediary as Beneficiary.

SECTION 2.5. Master Collateral Account. (a) The Master Collateral Agent shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, in the name of Master Collateral Agent for the benefit of the named Beneficiary, one or more accounts (the "Collateral Account") into which shall be initially deposited all Master Collateral and proceeds thereof, and shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, in the name of the Master Collateral Agent for the benefit of the named Beneficiary, one or more accounts for each Group of Segregated Collateral (the "Group Collateral Account" and collectively with the Collateral Account, the "Master Collateral Account") into which shall be deposited the Master Collateral and proceeds thereof designated as belonging to such Group. Each Master Collateral Account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the respective benefit of the named Beneficiary and sole dominion and control over each Master Collateral Account shall be vested in the Master Collateral Agent for the benefit of the named Beneficiary. The Master Collateral Account shall be maintained (i) with one or more Qualified Institutions, or (ii) as segregated trust accounts with the corporate trust departments of depository institutions or trust companies having corporate trust powers so long as each such institution has a credit rating for its unsecured long-term debt not lower than investment grade by Standard & Poor’s.

(b)If any Master Collateral Account (or any subaccount thereof) is not maintained in accordance with the previous clause (a), then within ten (10) days after a Responsible Officer has received written notice from any related Beneficiary or Financing Source to establish a new Master Collateral Account or subaccount thereof or has actual notice followed by written confirmation (which confirmation the Master Collateral Agent shall use its best efforts to obtain as soon as practicable at the request of the related Beneficiary or Financing Source) of such fact, the Master Collateral Agent shall establish a new Master Collateral Account (or a new subaccount) which complies with such clause (a) and transfer into the new Master Collateral Account (or subaccount) all funds from the non-qualifying Master Collateral Account (or subaccount).

In the event that any of the Master Servicer, any Servicer, RCFC or any Financing Source shall receive directly into one of its accounts any such
payments or proceeds, including cash, securities, obligations or other property, such Person shall accept in constructive trust for the Master Collateral Agent, and hold and deposit into the Master Collateral Account or the applicable Group Collateral Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, any of the foregoing payments or proceeds received directly by such Person in respect of the Master Collateral, with the endorsement or other evidence of transfer of such Person when necessary or appropriate. Each Grantor shall designate the Master Collateral Agent as loss payee on its physical damage and comprehensive insurance policies on the Master Collateral Vehicles. The Master Collateral Agent shall, within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof, notify the Master Servicer when funds are deposited in the Master Collateral Account or the Collateral Account and the amount of such funds and promptly thereafter, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after the receipt of such notice from the Master Collateral Agent, the Master Servicer shall instruct the Master Collateral Agent in writing (upon which instruction the Master Collateral Agent is entitled to conclusively rely) with respect to funds received hereunder as to (i) the aggregate amount thereof which represents payments or other proceeds arising from a Group of Segregated Collateral and the Related Vehicles and Related Master Collateral of each Beneficiary, (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default and as needed under clause (d) or (e) below or, in the sole judgment of the Master Servicer, as otherwise needed, the dollar amount thereof that is derived from Lessee Grantor Master Collateral and from RCFC Master Collateral,
(iii)the dollar amount of Sublease payments, insurance payments, warranty payments and other payments, as set forth below, in each case relating to Master Collateral Vehicles, which, so long as no Default under the related Financing Documents has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom may be withdrawn from the Master Collateral Account and distributed to the applicable Lessee Grantor,
(iv)the dollar amount of funds not constituting Master Collateral (which may be distributed at any time to the Person entitled thereto), and (v) any additional information provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to and in accordance with Section 24.4(a) of the Lease. The Master Collateral Agent shall promptly after receipt of instructions from the Master Servicer (upon which instructions the Master Collateral Agent may conclusively rely), but in no event later than ten (10) days after any payments or proceeds are first received into the Collateral Account or Master Collateral Account, distribute or cause to be distributed to the correct Group Collateral Account, QI Account, Collection Account or other account designated by the Beneficiary with respect to such payments or proceeds. In addition, the Master Collateral Agent shall promptly after receipt of instructions from the Master Servicer (upon which instructions the Master Collateral Agent may conclusively rely), but in no event later than ten (10) days after any payments or proceeds in respect of Master Collateral are first received by RCFC, a Lessee Grantor, the Trustee or the Master Collateral Agent (including by deposit in the Collateral Account or Master Collateral Account), distribute or cause to be distributed to each Beneficiary, in an amount specified by the Master Servicer as provided above, the funds in the Master Collateral Account representing payments or other proceeds arising from the Group of Segregated Collateral, Related Vehicles and Related Master Collateral of such Beneficiary, to an account previously specified in writing by such Beneficiary to the Master Collateral Agent; provided, however, that so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, all funds representing (x) payments under a Sublease or under any contract, agreement, guaranty, insurance, warranty, instrument or certificate entered into by or delivered to a Lessee Grantor, in connection with a Sublease, or (y) payments under insurance policies or warranties payable by reason of loss or damage to, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Master Collateral Vehicles, shall promptly be distributed to the applicable Lessee Grantor, to an account previously specified in writing by such Lessee Grantor, or as the applicable Lessee Grantor shall otherwise direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may at any time instruct the Master Collateral Agent to release from any
Collateral Account or Master Collateral Account any funds not constituting Master Collateral to the Person entitled thereto.
(d)At such time as no further distributions from a Lessee Grantor to a Financing Source, pursuant to the Financing Documents, are required or will be required to be made to a Beneficiary in accordance with Section 2.5(c), and any applicable bankruptcy preference period has expired, all
remaining funds deposited in respect of Lessee Grantor Master Collateral in the Master Collateral Account and allocated to such Beneficiary shall promptly be distributed to such Lessee Grantor upon the written direction of the Master Servicer.
(e)At such time as no further distributions from RCFC to a Financing Source, pursuant to the Financing Documents, are required or will be required to be made to a Beneficiary in accordance with Section 2.5(c), and any applicable bankruptcy preference period has expired, all remaining funds deposited in respect of RCFC Master Collateral in the Master Collateral Account and allocated to such Beneficiary shall promptly be distributed to RCFC upon the written direction of the Master Servicer.
(f)If at any time the Master Collateral Agent, a Servicer or the Master Servicer shall receive any funds to which it is not entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, such Servicer or the Master Servicer shall so advise the Master Collateral Agent (upon which advice the Master Collateral Agent may conclusively rely) and the Master Collateral Agent or such Service; or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall forthwith take reasonable steps to ensure that such funds are remitted to the Person so entitled thereto, such remittance to be made promptly after the determination thereof and if by the Master Collateral Agent, as directed in writing by the Master Servicer.
(g)The Master Servicer shall instruct (upon which instruction the Master Collateral Agent may conclusively rely) the Master Collateral Agent in writing to invest funds on deposit in the Master Collateral Account in Permitted Investments. If the Master Collateral Agent does not receive instructions from the Master Servicer prior to 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on any day as to the distribution or investment of any funds in the Master Collateral Account, then the Master Collateral Agent shall invest such funds in Permitted Investments set forth in Exhibit H, as the same may be from time to time revised by the Master Servicer upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Master Collateral Agent (the "Investment Standing Instruction"). All such investments shall be redeemable or mature on the next Business Day. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Master Collateral Agent shall be responsible for any losses incurred on any investments made pursuant to and in accordance with this paragraph (g). The Master Collateral Agent shall, in accordance herewith, be entitled to rely upon the most recent Investment Standing Instruction or other written instruction received pursuant to this Section 2.5(g).
SECTION 2.6. Certificates of Title. Each Servicer shall hold in trust, as agent of and as custodian for the Master Collateral Agent, all Certificates of Title for Master Collateral Vehicles leased by such Servicer under a Lease. The applicable Servicer shall (i) hold all such Certificates of Title under lock and key, in a safe fireproof location at one or more of the offices specified in Exhibit D (as the same may be from time to time revised by the applicable Servicer upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the parties hereto), and (ii) not release or surrender any Certificate of Title except in accordance with this Agreement (and in any event not release or surrender any of the Certificates of Title other than Certificates of Title as to which the Lien of the Master Collateral Agent has been released in accordance with this Agreement). The applicable Servicer shall cause the Certificates of Title with respect to each Lessee Grantor Master Collateral Vehicle leased by it under a Lease to show the applicable Lessee Grantor, and with respect to each RCFC Master Collateral Vehicle to show RCFC or the Nominee, as the registered owner thereof and to show Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as agent (or as otherwise required under governing law to perfect the Lien of the Master Collateral Agent), as the first lienholder at the address referred to in the next sentence. The Master Collateral Agent has established a post office box
in Tulsa, Oklahoma at an address specified in Section 5.2 hereof, to be used from and after the date hereof as its exclusive address as first lienholder noted on the Certificates of Title. The Master Collateral Agent shall, on a daily basis make available to each Lessee Grantor at its address set forth in Section 5.2 hereof, all Certificates of Title received at such post office box address.
SECTION 2.7. Notation of Liens; Release of Collateral. (a) The Master Collateral Agent hereby grants to each Servicer a limited power of attorney, with full power of substitution, to take any and all actions, in the name of the Master Collateral Agent, (i) to note the Master Collateral Agent as the holder of a first lien on the Certificates of Title, and/or otherwise ensure that the first Lien shown on any and all Certificates of Title is in the name of the Master Collateral Agent, (ii) to release the Master Collateral Agent’s Lien on any Certificate of Title in connection with the sale or disposition of the related Master Collateral Vehicle permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Financing Documents relating to such Master Collateral Vehicle; and (iii) to release the Master Collateral Agent’s Lien on any Certificate of Title with respect to any Master Collateral Vehicle which is not a Related Vehicle with respect to any Beneficiary or with respect to which all obligations under the Documents to each related Beneficiary have been satisfied in full (and any applicable bankruptcy preference period has expired). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as authorization from the Master Collateral Agent to any Servicer to release any Lien on any Certificate of Title except upon compliance with this Agreement.
(b) Each Beneficiary may cause the Master Collateral Agent to terminate the limited power of attorney referred to in Section 2.7(a) (including the related power granted under Section 2.8) with respect to such Beneficiary’s Related Vehicles after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of a Default (after giving effect to any cure period or grace period) under the Financing Documents relating to the Financing Source with respect to such Beneficiary by giving written notice to such effect to the applicable Servicer and the Master Collateral Agent. The Master Collateral Agent agrees that upon receipt of any such notice it shall promptly terminate such power of attorney with respect to such Beneficiary’s Related Vehicles by giving written notice to such effect to the applicable Servicer. The power of attorney referred to in Section 2.7(a) (including the related power granted under Section 2.8) will also terminate following the resignation or removal of the Master Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.5. The Master Collateral Agent will follow the direction (upon which direction the Master Collateral Agent may conclusively rely) of the applicable Servicer to release liens on Master Collateral Vehicles unless either a contrary direction is received from a Financing Source or Beneficiary or the Financing Documents require direction to be given by another party. In connection with any release permitted under this Section 2.7, the Master Collateral Agent and each Beneficiary agrees to execute such further documents, if any, as may be reasonably requested by the applicable Servicer to effect such release.
SECTION 2.8. Power of Attorney. To further evidence the limited power of attorney referred to in Section 2.7, the Master Collateral Agent agrees that upon request of the Servicer it will execute a separate power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit E.E-1. To further evidence the limited power of attorney referred to in Section 2.6 of the Nominee Agreement, the Master Collateral Agent agrees that upon request of the Servicer it will execute a separate power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2.

SECTION 4.1. Appointment. (a) Each Financing Source and each Beneficiary, by its execution of this Agreement, appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the Master Collateral Agent under and for purposes of this Agreement. Each Financing Source and each Beneficiary authorizes the Master Collateral Agent to act on behalf of such Financing Source and Beneficiary under this Agreement and, in the absence of other written instructions from a Beneficiary with respect to its Related Vehicles and Related Master Collateral as may be received from time to time by the Master Collateral Agent (with respect to which the Master Collateral Agent agrees that it will comply), subject to the other provisions of this Article IV, to exercise such powers hereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Master Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and to exercise such powers as are provided to each Financing Source and Beneficiary with respect to its Related Vehicles and other Related Master Collateral under the related Financing Documents, along with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto.

If any indemnity provided should become, in the determination of the Master Collateral Agent, inadequate, the Master Collateral Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease to act until and unless such additional indemnity is given.
(h) The Master Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, retain counsel, agents, independent accountants and other experts selected by it and may act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel, independent accountants and other experts concerning all matters pertaining to the agencies hereby created and its duties hereunder, and shall be held harmless and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance upon or in accordance with the statements and advice of such counsel, agents, accountants and other experts.

(l) Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its individual capacity, may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Lessee Grantor, any Financing Source, any Manufacturer and their respective affiliates as if it were not the agent of the Beneficiaries or the Financing Sources.
(m) The Master Collateral Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by any person of disbursements properly made by the Master Collateral Agent in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement.

(a) The Master Collateral Agent may, at any time with or without cause by giving forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice to the Master Servicer, RCFC, the Financing Sources and the Beneficiaries, resign and be discharged of its responsibilities hereunder created, such resignation to become effective upon the appointment by the Master Servicer and RCFC of a successor Master Collateral Agent with the approval of the Required Beneficiaries (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Master Collateral Agent or the appointment thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction (as and to the extent provided in the related Financing Documents). The Master Servicer and RCFC shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, provide a copy of the notice from the Master Collateral Agent referred to in the preceding sentence to each Rating Agency. The Master Collateral Agent may be removed by the Master Servicer or RCFC at any time (with or without cause) upon thirty
(30) days’ written notice by the Master Servicer or RCFC, as the case may be, to the Master Collateral Agent and each of the Rating Agencies, and the approval of the successor Master Collateral Agent by the Required Beneficiaries, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if either the Master Servicer or RCFC is in default under this Agreement or any Financing Document and such default has a material adverse effect on the Beneficiaries, then so long as such default continues, the right of the Master Servicer or RCFC, as applicable, to remove the Master Collateral Agent shall cease and the non-defaulting party shall have, or if both the Master Servicer and RCFC are then in default, then the Required Beneficiaries shall have the right to remove the Master Collateral Agent (with or without cause) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Master Servicer RCFC, the Master Collateral Agent and each of the Rating Agencies; provided, further, that no removal of the Master Collateral Agent shall be effective until the appointment of a successor Master Collateral Agent and acceptance of such appointment by such Master Collateral Agent. Any removed Master Collateral Agent shall be entitled to its reasonable fees and expenses to the date the successor Master Collateral Agent assumes the Master Collateral Agent’s duties hereunder. The indemnification of Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement as to the predecessor Master Collateral Agent. If no successor Master Collateral Agent shall be appointed and approved within thirty (30) days from the date of the giving of the aforesaid notice of resignation or within thirty (30) days from the date of such notice of removal, the Master Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Master Servicer and RCFC, each Financing Source and each Beneficiary may appoint a successor Master Collateral Agent to act until such time, if any, as a successor Master Collateral Agent shall be appointed as above provided. If a successor Master Collateral Agent does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring Master Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Master Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Master Servicer and RCFC, each Financing Source and each Beneficiary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Master Collateral Agent. Any successor Master Collateral Agent so appointed by such court shall immediately without further act supersede any predecessor Master Collateral Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Master Collateral Agent hereunder, the predecessor Master Collateral Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Agreement.
(b) The appointment and designation referred to in Section 4.5(a) shall, after any required filing, be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all the facts therein recited,
and this Agreement shall vest in such successor Master Collateral Agent, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, all of the estate and title of its predecessors and upon such filing for record the successor Master Collateral Agent shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, authority and title of its predecessors; but any predecessor Master Collateral Agent shall, nevertheless, on payment of its charges and on the written request of the Required Beneficiaries, the Master Servicer, RCFC or any successor Master Collateral Agent empowered to act as such at the time any such request is made, execute and deliver an instrument without recourse or representation transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, authority and title of such predecessor hereunder and shall deliver all securities, deposits and monies held by it to such successor Master Collateral Agent.
SECTION 4.6. Status of Successors to Master Collateral Agent. Every successor to the Master Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 4.5 shall be a bank or trust company in good standing and having power so to act and incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and shall also have capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $50,000,000 if there be such an institution with such capital, surplus and undivided profits willing, qualified and able to accept the trust upon reasonable or customary terms. The Master Servicer shall give the Rating Agencies written notice prior to any successor Master Collateral Agent being appointed pursuant to Section 4.5.
SECTION 4.7. Merger of the Master Collateral Agent. Any corporation into which the Master Collateral Agent shall be merged, or with which it shall be converted or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Master Collateral Agent shall be a party shall be the Master Collateral Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto. The Master Collateral Agent shall give the Rating Agencies, the Master Servicer, RCFC and the Servicer written notice (which, if practicable, shall be prior written notice) of any such merger, conversion or consolidation.
SECTION 4.8. Compensation and Expenses. The Lessee Grantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Master Collateral Agent, from time to time (i) compensation for its services hereunder for administering the Master Collateral as set forth in the fee letter dated as of December 23, 1997, between RCFC and the Master Collateral Agent, as such letter may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, and (ii) all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel) of the Master Collateral Agent (A) arising in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, or modification of this Agreement and/or the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof or (B) incurred in connection with the administration of the Master Collateral, the sale or other disposition of Master Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or to any Financing Document and/or the preservation, protection or defense of the Master Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement and the Financing Documents and in and to the Master Collateral.
SECTION 4.9. Stamp, Other Similar Taxes and Filing Fees. The Lessee Grantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Collateral Agent 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 this Agreement or any Master Collateral. The Lessee Grantors, jointly and severally, shall pay, or reimburse the Master Collateral Agent 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 determined to be payable in respect of the execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 4.9 shall relieve the Master Servicer of its responsibility and liability for filings and recordings with respect to this Agreement and the Master Collateral.
SECTION 4.10. Indemnification. The Lessee Grantors, jointly and severally, shall pay, and indemnify and hold the Master Collateral Agent and each of the officers, employees, directors and agents
thereof harmless from and against, any and all liabilities (including liabilities for penalties and liabilities arising or resulting from actions or suits), obligations, losses, judgments, demands, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Master Collateral Agent or any such officers, employees, directors or agents in any way relating to or arising out of the execution, delivery, amendment, enforcement, performance and/or administration of this Agreement or the Nominee Agreement, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts, and the Lessee Grantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse each Beneficiary for any payments made by such Beneficiary to the Master Collateral Agent or any such officers, employees, directors or agents for any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the Lessee Grantors shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities (including liabilities for penalties and liabilities arising or resulting from actions or suits), obligations, losses, judgments, demands, damages, claims, costs or expenses of the Master Collateral Agent or any such officers, employees, directors or agents which resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Master Collateral Agent or any such agent.

This Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Master Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5.5. Conflicts with Financing Documents; Reservation of Rights. The parties agree that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Financing Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to affect or limit, in any way, the rights that each of the Beneficiaries has insofar as the rights of such parties and third parties are involved. Except as expressly provided herein, the Beneficiaries specifically reserve all their respective rights against each Lessee Grantor, any Financing Source and/or any third party.
SECTION 5.6. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to give any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or the Master Collateral.
SECTION 5.7. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
SECTION 5.8. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the execution and delivery hereof and shall remain in effect until no amounts are owed to any Financing Source under any Financing Document and no Beneficiary or Financing Source shall have any claim on the Master Collateral.
SECTION 5.9. Termination of Beneficiary. Upon receipt by the Master Collateral Agent of a notice from a Beneficiary to the effect that (i) (A) such Beneficiary then has no Related Vehicles hereunder, no amounts are then owing to the related Financing Documents under its Financing Source and such Financing Documents have been terminated and are of no further force or effect or (B) the Master Collateral Agent’s security interest has been reassigned to such Beneficiary pursuant to Section 4.1(e) and
(ii)such Beneficiary has elected to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate as to such Beneficiary.
SECTION 5.10. Termination of this Agreement. At any time that there are no Beneficiaries, the Lessee Grantors and RCFC may terminate this Agreement upon notice to the Master Collateral Agent, and the Master Collateral Agent shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Lessee Grantors and RCFC, at the joint and several expense of the Lessee Grantors, to evidence the termination of this Agreement and the Master Collateral Agent’s interest in the Master Collateral, including, without limitation, execute such documents and instruments as RCFC or any Lessee Grantor may prepare and reasonably request to be executed by the Master Collateral Agent in connection with such reassignment; provided, however, that Sections 4.3, 4.4(a), (c) and (e) through (n), 4.8, and the indemnification set forth in Sections 4.9 and 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.11. Assignment by Financing Sources. Each Financing Source acknowledges that it has assigned and does hereby assign to its related Beneficiary or Beneficiaries all of its rights and interests under this Agreement and further acknowledges that its related Beneficiary or Beneficiaries may exercise all of such Financing Source’s rights hereunder assigned thereto.
SECTION 5.12. RCFC Related Documents. To the extent that this Agreement affects the secured parties under RCFC’s Financing Documents, it shall be considered a Related Document (as defined in RCFC’s Financing Documents) for all purposes except voting provisions.
SECTION 5.13. Limited Recourse; Subordination. The obligations of RCFC under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of RCFC and shall be limited to recourse against the RCFC Master Collateral. In addition, the obligations of RCFC to the Master Collateral Agent on behalf of a Beneficiary shall be limited to recourse against the Group of Segregated Collateral, including the RCFC Master Collateral designated to such Group, securing RCFC’s obligations to such Beneficiary, and such obligations of RCFC shall be paid only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture. If all the amounts ultimately realized on the Collateral and RCFC Master Collateral in the Group of Segregated Collateral securing RCFC’s obligations to a Beneficiary are insufficient to satisfy RCFC’s obligations under this Agreement and the Indenture, RCFC shall have no further liability under this Agreement or the Indenture and any outstanding obligations of RCFC shall be extinguished as against such Beneficiary. No recourse shall be had against any officer, member, director, employee, security holder or incorporator of RCFC or its Affiliates or their respective successors or assigns for the payment of any amounts payable under this Agreement or the Indenture. To the extent that the Master Collateral Agent on behalf of a Beneficiary is deemed to have any interest in the Collateral or Master Collateral of a Group of Segregated Collateral not designated as securing the obligations of RCFC to such Beneficiary,
the Master Collateral Agent on behalf of such Beneficiary agrees that its interests in such other Group of Segregated Collateral are subordinated in all respects to the claims or rights of the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated as being secured by such Group of Segregated Collateral. This Agreement shall constitute a Subordination Agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. This Section 5.13 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.
SECTION 5.14. No Bankruptcy Petition Against Financing Sources. The Master Collateral Agent hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing debt security issued by a Financing Source, it will not institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, such Financing Source, 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 5.14 shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from any Financing Source or Beneficiary pursuant to this Agreement; provided, further, that this Section 5.14 shall only be effective with respect to a Financing Source for which the related Financing Documents contain a "no bankruptcy petition" provision similar to this Section 5.14. In the event that the Master Collateral Agent takes action in violation of this Section 5.14, each affected Financing Source agrees that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by the Master Collateral Agent against such Financing Source or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that the Master Collateral Agent 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 5.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the resignation or removal of the Master Collateral Agent.
SECTION 5.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY LESSEE GRANTOR, THE MASTER SERVICER. THE MASTER COLLATERAL AGENT, ANY FINANCING SOURCE OR ANY BENEFICIARY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE COURT OR (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, IN NEW YORK, IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LESSEE GRANTOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, THE MASTER COLLATERAL AGENT, EACH FINANCING SOURCE AND EACH BENEFICIARY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH LESSEE GRANTOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, EACH FINANCING SOURCE AND EACH BENEFICIARY (OTHER THAN THE TRUSTEE) DESIGNATES AND APPOINTS CT CORPORATION SYSTEM, INC., 000 XXXXXX XXXXXX, 00XX XXXXX, XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX 00000, AND SUCH OTHER PERSONS AS MAY HEREAFTER BE SELECTED BY A LESSEE GRANTOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, ANY FINANCING SOURCE OR ANY BENEFICIARY AND AS SHALL IRREVOCABLY AGREE IN WRITING TO SERVE, AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDINGS IN ANY SUCH COURT, SUCH SERVICE BEING HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY EACH LESSEE GRANTOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, EACH FINANCING SOURCE AND EACH BENEFICIARY (OTHER THAN THE TRUSTEE) TO BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT. A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS SO SERVED SHALL BE MAILED BY REGISTERED MAIL TO EACH LESSEE GRANTOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, SUCH FINANCING SOURCE OR SUCH BENEFICIARY SO SERVED AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN THE APPLICABLE SIGNATURE PAGE HERETO, EXCEPT THAT,
UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY FAILURE TO MAIL SUCH COPY SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SERVICE OF PROCESS. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED BY A LESSEE GRANTOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, SUCH FINANCING SOURCE OR SUCH BENEFICIARY REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE, EACH LESSEE GRANTOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, EACH FINANCING SOURCE AND EACH BENEFICIARY HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT NOTICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHTS TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY FINANCING SOURCE OR BENEFICIARY TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY LESSEE GRANTOR OR THE MASTER SERVICER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
SECTION 5.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE MASTER COLLATERAL AGENT, EACH FINANCING SOURCE, EACH BENEFICIARY AND EACH LESSEE GRANTOR, AND THE MASTER SERVICER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE MASTER COLLATERAL AGENT, ANY FINANCING SOURCE, ANY BENEFICIARY, ANY LESSEE GRANTOR OR THE MASTER SERVICER IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH. EACH LESSEE GRANTOR, AND THE MASTER SERVICER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE MASTER COLLATERAL AGENT, EACH FINANCING SOURCE AND EACH BENEFICIARY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT.
SECTION 5.17. Insurance Notification. The Master Collateral Agent shall, promptly upon its receipt of written notification of any termination of or proposed cancellation or nonrenewal of any insurance policies required to be maintained under any of the Financing Documents, notify the Beneficiary thereof of any such termination, proposed cancellation or nonrenewal.
