The aggregate principal amount of the Series 1998-1 Notes outstanding may not exceed such amounts.
Section 4A.2 Procedure for Increasing the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount.
(a) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in subsection (b) of this Section 4A.2 (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee), on the Series 1998-1 Closing Date, the Issuer may issue Series 1998-1 Notes in the maximum invested amount described in Section 4A.1, the initial aggregate principal amounts of which will be equal to the Series 1998-1 Initial Invested Amount. Such Series 1998-1 Notes shall be issued to the Note Purchaser. On the Series 1998-1 Funding Date and thereafter on each Increase Date during the Series 1998-1 Revolving Period, the Issuer may, upon written request by the Issuer to the Trustee and upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written notice by the Collateral Agent to the Note Purchaser in the manner provided in the Note Purchase Agreement (such notice specifying the applicable Increase Date), the Issuer may increase the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount (each such increase referred to as an “Increase”) in the manner provided in the Series 1998-1 Notes in amounts that satisfy the following requirements: (i) the portion of the Increase represented by additional Series 1998-1 Invested Amount shall be such that the Enhancement Amount shall at least equal the Minimum Enhancement Amount after giving effect to such Increase in the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount and the application of the proceeds thereof to leasing Group II Vehicles; and (ii) no Asset Amount Deficiency will result from such Increase. Satisfaction of the above conditions shall be evidenced by the delivery of a certificate from the Master Servicer to such effect to each of the Trustee and the Enhancement Agent. Proceeds from any Increase shall be deposited into the Series 1998-1 Collection Account and allocated in accordance with Article 4 hereof. Upon each Increase, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the Note Registrar to, indicate in the Note Register such Increase. The Increase in the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the Outstanding Series 1998-1 Notes.
|
- 36 - |
(b) The Series 1998-1 Invested Amount may be increased pursuant to subsection (a) above only upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions (as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee) with respect to each proposed Increase:
(i) The amount of such Increase shall be equal to or greater than $100,000;
(ii) After giving effect to such Increase, the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount shall not exceed the Series 1998-1 Maximum Invested Amount;
(iii) There shall not then exist, nor shall such Increase result in the occurrence of, (x) an Amortization Event, a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, or (y) an event or occurrence, which, with the passing of time or the giving of notice thereof, or both, would become an Amortization Event, a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default;
(iv) All conditions precedent (1) to the acquisition of additional Group II Vehicles under the Master Lease, (2) to the making of Advances (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) under the Note Purchase Agreement and (3) to the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes as specified in the Liquidity Agreement shall have, in each case, been satisfied; provided, that an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Series 1998-1 Notes will be treated as indebtedness of the Issuer for Federal income tax purposes shall not be required;
(v) The Issuer or, with respect to Financed Vehicles, the applicable Lessee, as the case may be, shall have good and marketable title to each Vehicle purchased thereby with the proceeds from the sale of and of Increases in the Series 1998-1 Notes, free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances, other than any Permitted Liens. Each Eligible Vehicle Disposition Program shall be in full force and effect, and shall be enforceable against the related Manufacturer in accordance with its terms;
(vi) Each Lessee shall have granted to the Master Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Trustee, and RCFC shall have granted to the Master Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Trustee, in each case on behalf of the Series 1998-1 Noteholders, a first priority security interest in all Series 1998-1 Vehicles now or hereafter purchased or financed by the Issuer with the proceeds from the sale of and Increases in the Series 1998-1 Notes or with any contributions of capital made by DTAG in favor of the Issuer;
(vii) the Issuer shall have granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in its right, title and interest in and to the Master Lease and the Master Lease Collateral;
(viii) on or prior to the Series 1998-1 Closing Date, the Trustee shall have received executed counterparts of the Assignment Agreements related to the assignment of rights under each Eligible Vehicle Disposition Program, duly executed by the applicable Lessee and/or the Issuer, as assignor, and the Trustee, as assignee;

and are proposed to be included in the Aggregate Asset Amount and an Officer’s Certificate, dated the Series 1998-1 Closing Date, and duly executed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer, certifying that each such copy is true, correct and complete as of the Series 1998-1 Closing Date;
(x) Notice of such Increase shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Liquidity Agent;
(xi) All representations and warranties set forth in Article 6 of the Base Indenture and in Section 23 of the Master Lease shall be true and correct; and
(xii) With respect to the initial Increase only, the Master Servicer shall have calculated the Series 1998-1 Available Subordinated Amount and the Enhancement Amount.
(a) Mandatory Decreases. Whenever the Enhancement Amount is less than the Minimum Enhancement Amount, then, on the Payment Date immediately following discovery of such deficiency, the Issuer shall decrease the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount by the amount (if any) necessary, so that after giving effect to any increases in the Enhancement Amount on or prior to such Payment Date and to all Decreases of the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount on such Payment Date, no such deficiency shall exist on such Payment Date (each reduction of the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount pursuant to this Section 4A.3(a), a “Mandatory Decrease”). Upon such discovery, the Issuer shall deliver notice of any such Mandatory Decreases to the Trustee.
(b) Voluntary Decreases. Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice to the Note Purchaser and the Trustee in writing, the Issuer may voluntarily prepay all or a portion of the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount in accordance with the procedures set forth herein (each reduction of the Series 1998-1 Invested Amount pursuant to this Section 4A.3(b), a “Voluntary Decrease”); provided, that all voluntary Decreases pursuant to this Section 4A.3(b) shall be allocated such that (1) the Enhancement Amount after giving effect to such Decrease is not less than the Minimum Enhancement Amount. Each such Decrease shall be, in the aggregate for all Series 1998-1 Notes, in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. The Note Purchaser shall promptly advise the Liquidity Agent of any notice given pursuant to this Section 4A.3(b).
(c) Upon receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of written notice that a Decrease has been completed, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the Note Registrar to, indicate in the Note Register such Decrease. The amount of any Decrease shall not exceed the amount on deposit in the Series 1998-1 Collection Account and available for distribution to Series 1998-1 Noteholders in respect of principal on the Series 1998-1 Notes on the date specified in the related notice of Decrease referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above.

ARTICLE 4
ALLOCATION AND APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS
Any provisions of Article 4 of the Base Indenture and the Series 2000-1 Supplement which allocate and apply Collections shall continue to apply irrespective of the issuance of the Series 1998-1 Notes. Sections 4.1 through 4.5 of the Base Indenture shall be read in their entirety as provided in the Base Indenture, provided that for purposes of the Series 1998-1 Notes, clauses (c), (d) and (e) of Section 4.2 of the Base Indenture shall be modified as permitted by Section 11.1(f) of the Base Indenture and shall read as follows:
(c) Right of Master Servicer to Deduct Fees. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary but subject to any limitations set forth in the applicable Supplement, as long as (x) the Master Servicer is DTAG or an Affiliate of DTAG and (y) the Retained Interest Amount equals or exceeds zero, the Master Servicer (i) may make or cause to be made deposits of Collections to the Group II Collection Account net of any amounts which are allocable to the Retained Distribution Account and represent amounts due and owing to it in its capacity as Master Servicer and (ii) need not deposit or cause to be deposited any amounts to be paid to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.2 and such amounts will be deemed paid to the Master Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 4.2.
(d) Sharing Collections. To the extent that Principal Collections that are allocated to the Series 1998-1 Notes on a Payment Date are not needed to make payments of principal to Series 1998-1 Noteholders or required to be deposited in the Series 1998-1 Distribution Account on such Payment Date, such Principal Collections may, at the written direction of the Master Servicer, be applied to cover principal payments due to or for the benefit of Noteholders of other Group II Series of Notes. Any such reallocation will not result in a reduction of the Aggregate Principal Balance or in the Invested Amount of the Series 1998-1 Notes.
(e) Unallocated Principal Collections. If, after giving effect to Section 4.2(d), Principal Collections allocated to the Series 1998-1 Notes on any Payment Date are in excess of the amount required to pay amounts due in respect of the Series 1998-1 Notes on such Payment Date in full, then any such excess Principal Collections shall be allocated to the Retained Distribution Account (provided that no Series 1998-1 Enhancement Deficiency or Asset Amount Deficiency exists or would result from such allocation).
In addition, for purposes of Section 4.2(a) of the Base Indenture, the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under the Master Lease shall cause all Collections allocable to Group II Collateral in accordance with the Indenture and the Master Collateral Agency Agreement, as applicable, to be paid directly into the Group II Collection Account or the Master Collateral Account, as applicable.
Article 4 of the Base Indenture (except for Sections 4.1 through 4.5 thereof subject to the proviso in the first paragraphs of this Article 4 and the immediately preceding sentence) shall read in its entirety as follows and shall be applicable only to the Series 1998-1 Notes:

Section 4.6 Establishment of Group II Collection Account, Series 1998-1 Collection Account, Series 1998-1 Excess Funding Account, and Series 1998-1 Accrued Interest Account.
(a) The Trustee has created an administrative sub-account within the Collection Account for the benefit of holders of Notes from a Group II Series of Notes (such sub-account, the “Group II Collection Account”). In addition, the Trustee will create two administrative sub-accounts within the Group II Collection Account. One such sub-account will be established for the benefit of the Series 1998-1 Noteholders (such sub-account, the “Series 1998-1 Collection Account”). The second sub-account will be established for the benefit of the Series 1998-1 Noteholders (such sub-account, the “Series 1998-1 Excess Funding Account”). A portion of funds on deposit in the Series 1998-1 Excess Funding Account may, from time to time hereafter, be designated by RCFC as the Substitute Group II Exchanged Vehicle Proceeds Amount. This designated amount shall be available only for the purposes specified herein and shall not be otherwise generally available for withdrawal to be used for the purposes of other funds in the Series 1998-1 Excess Funding Account.
(b) The Trustee will further divide the Series 1998-1 Collection Account by creating an additional administrative sub-account for the Series 1998-1 Noteholders (such sub-account, the “Series 1998-1 Accrued Interest Account”).
(c) All Collections in respect of the Group II Collateral and allocable to the Group II Series of Notes shall be allocated to the Group II Collection Account. All Collections in the Group II Collection Account allocable to the Series 1998-1 Notes and the Series 1998-1 Available Subordinated Amount shall be allocated to the Series 1998-1 Collection Account or the Series 1998-1 Excess Funding Account as provided below.
Section 4.7 Allocations with Respect to the Series 1998-1 Notes. All allocations in this Section 4.7 will be made in accordance with written direction of the Master Servicer.

On each Business Day on which Collections are deposited into the Group II Collection Account (each such date, a “Series 1998-1 Deposit Date”), the Master Servicer will direct the Trustee in writing to allocate all amounts deposited into the Group II Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.7:

When established, the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account is intended to function in all respects as the replacement for, and the equivalent of, the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit. Accordingly, following its creation, each reference to a draw on the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit shall refer to withdrawals from the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account and references to similar terms shall mean and be a reference to actions taken with respect to the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account that correspond to actions that otherwise would have been taken with respect to the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon funding of the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account, the Trustee shall, at all times when the Enhancement Agent is otherwise required to make a draw under the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.14, 4.15 or 4.16 of this Supplement, make a draw from the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account in the amount and at such time as a draw would be made under the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.14, 4.15 or 4.16 of this Supplement. The Trustee shall provide written notice to DTAG of any draw from the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 4.14, 4.15 or 4.16 of this Supplement.
(b) In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the obligations of RCFC with respect to the Series 1998-1 Notes (but not any other Series of Notes), RCFC hereby assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 1998-1 Noteholders, all of RCFC’s right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or hereafter existing and whether now owned or hereafter acquired): (i) the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account; (ii) all funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iii) all certificates and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing any or all of the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account or the funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iv) all Permitted Investments made at any time and from time to time with the monies in the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account; and (v) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1998-1 Noteholders and the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit Provider, as their interests appear herein, which interest in the case of the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit Provider shall be subject to the interests of the holders of Series 1998-1 Notes as provided herein.
(c) Funds on deposit in the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account shall, at the written direction of the Master Servicer given pursuant to the Master Lease, be invested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments subject to the right of the Liquidity Agent pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Collateral Agreement to direct the investment of such amounts so long as a Liquidity Agreement Amortization Event (other than Scheduled Liquidity Agreement Amortization Events) shall have occurred and be continuing. Funds on deposit in the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account on any Payment Date, after giving effect to any deposits to or withdrawals from the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account on such Payment Date, shall be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature at such time that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Payment Date. The proceeds of any such investment, to the extent not distributed on such Payment Date, shall be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature at such time that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Payment Date immediately following the date of such investment. The Trustee shall maintain

for the benefit of the Series 1998-1 Noteholders and the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit Provider as their interests appear herein, which interest in the case of the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit Provider shall be subject to the interests of the holders of the Series 1998-1 Notes as provided herein, possession of the negotiable instruments or securities evidencing the Permitted Investments from the time of purchase thereof until the time of sale or maturity. On each Payment Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Payment Date on funds on deposit in the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be paid to the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit Provider to the extent of any unreimbursed draws on the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit. Subject to the restrictions set forth above, the Master Servicer, or a Person designated in writing by the Master Servicer with written notification thereof to the Trustee, shall have the authority to instruct the Trustee in writing with respect to the investment of funds on deposit in the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balances in the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account for any reason under the Indenture, all investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.
(d) In the event that the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus on any Payment Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals from the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account, is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Master Servicer, shall withdraw from the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Amount Surplus and shall pay from such amount to the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit Provider, an amount equal to the amount of unreimbursed draws under the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit.
(e) Upon the later to occur of (i) the termination of the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture and (ii) the Business Day immediately following the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit Expiration Date, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Master Servicer, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 1998-1 Noteholders and payable from the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Series 1998-1 Cash Collateral Account all amounts on deposit therein and shall pay from such amounts to the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit Provider an amount equal to the amount of unreimbursed draws on the Series 1998-1 Letter of Credit.

1. Principal Payment Date. Any unpaid principal of this promissory note (this “Demand Note”) shall be paid on the Demand Date.
2. Interest. DTAG also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding at an interest rate of one-year LIBOR, as determined for such period in the manner set forth under the Amended and Restated Base Indenture, dated as of February 14, 2007, between RCFC and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Base Indenture”) as supplemented by the Second Amended and Restated Series 1998-1 Supplement, dated as of February 14, 2007 (the “Series 1998-1 Supplement” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) for the determination of LIBOR thereunder, plus 1.5% (the “Demand Note Rate”) from the date hereof until the principal amount shall be paid in full. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth therefor in the Indenture.
3. Prepayments. DTAG shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of the Demand Note or any portion thereof upon the Demand Date hereof to the extent demand is made therefor. Prior thereto, DTAG:
(a) may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of this Demand Note; provided, however, that
(i) no Event of Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(ii) such voluntary prepayments shall require at least three but no more than five Business Days’ prior written notice to RCFC.
Each prepayment of any Demand Note made pursuant to this Section 3 shall be without premium or penalty.
