(c) Exclusions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(a), it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Lessee Grantor Master Collateral does not and shall not in any event include any of the following items or types of property:

Each Financing Source and each Beneficiary hereby disclaims and affirmatively waives any right, title or interest in and to any of the foregoing items or types of property under or pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 2.2. Designation of Beneficiaries; Beneficiaries’ Rights Limited. (a) Each of the Trustee, RCFC, the Qualified Intermediary and any other Person who from time to time executes a Financing Source and Beneficiary Supplement as a beneficiary is hereby designated as a Beneficiary with respect to the Master Collateral Vehicles designated on the Master Servicer’s computer system as Master Collateral Vehicles relating to such Beneficiary or as otherwise provided in a Financing Source and Beneficiary Supplement with respect to such Beneficiary (“Related Vehicles”) and the other Master Collateral related thereto (the “Related Master Collateral”). 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
16
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.
17
(a) no Default 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, 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 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). The Master Collateral Agent shall make the Fleet Report available for inspection by any Financing Source or Beneficiary at the Corporate Trust Office, during normal business hours, upon such Financing Source or Beneficiary’s written request. 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.
18
(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 VIN 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
(vi) 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.
Aggregate information with respect to the above will be reported to the Trustee, the Master Collateral Agent and others specified in the Financing Documents for each Group and Series of Notes within each Group on the Reporting Date.
SECTION 2.5. Master Collateral Account(a) . (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
19
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).
(c) The Servicer and the Grantors shall direct all payments representing (i) Disposition Proceeds, (ii) Guaranteed Payments and Repurchase Payments under Vehicle Disposition Programs, (iii) Incentive Payments under incentive programs, (iv) all payments under the Subleases and (v) all other payments or other proceeds arising from the Master Collateral to be deposited directly into the Collateral Account or the applicable Group Collateral Account. 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
20
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
21
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, 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
22
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.

THE MASTER COLLATERAL AGENT
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. The Master Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each of the Beneficiaries, in its name and stead, for such purposes as are necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, in exercising remedies upon or otherwise dealing with the Master Collateral. Each such power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

If any Beneficiary notifies the Master Collateral Agent in writing that it or the Master Collateral Agent has the right to act with respect to the Beneficiary’s related Master Collateral pursuant to its related Financing Documents or pursuant to the UCC as in effect in the applicable jurisdiction, then the Master Collateral Agent, if it has been indemnified to its satisfaction and is legally able to do so, shall exercise or arrange for the exercise of any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges available to such Beneficiary or the Master Collateral Agent with respect to the Beneficiary’s related Master Collateral to the extent and in the manner directed by such Beneficiary, at such Beneficiary’s expense and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4.4(g)), as permitted under the related Financing Documents and under relevant law and regulations, including, without limitation, the transmission of notices of default, repossession of Related Vehicles, and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings. Each of the Lessee Grantors, RCFC, the Beneficiaries and the Financing Sources agrees that the Master Collateral Agent may exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges assigned to it in lieu of a Beneficiary in accordance with the preceding sentence and agrees that the Grantors shall reimburse the Master Collateral Agent for such enforcement expenses only to the same extent that they would be obligated to reimburse the Master Collateral Agent or the applicable Beneficiary for such enforcement expenses pursuant to the related Financing Documents.

(d) The Master Collateral Agent may at any time delegate any duties or obligations hereunder (including, but not limited to, any duties or obligations arising pursuant to Section 3.4 or 4.1(b) hereof) to any Person (other than, with respect to any actions as agent of the Beneficiaries as secured parties, any Person with any other interest in the Master Collateral) who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the terms hereof. Any such delegation shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 4.5 hereof and the Master Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the negligence, acts or omissions of such Persons so long as such Persons are selected with due care. If any such delegation occurs, notification of the identity of such Person shall be given to the Servicer, Master Servicer, the Beneficiaries and the Rating Agencies.

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”
35
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
36
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.
