may reasonably request, to compel or secure the performance and observance by
each party to any ▇▇▇▇▇ Agreement or any other Related Document of its
obligations to ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, respectively, in accordance with the applicable
terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and
privileges lawfully available to ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco to the extent and in the manner
reasonably directed by the Agent, including the transmission of notices of
default and the giving of directions, or the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by such
party, of their respective obligations thereunder; provided, however, that if
-------- -------
▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, as the case may be, shall have failed, within 2 Business Days
of receiving the direction by the Agent, to accomplish such directions of the
Agent, the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, take such previously
directed action (and any related action as permitted under this Agreement
thereafter determined by the Agent to be appropriate without the need under this
provision or any other provision hereunder to direct each of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Leasco to
take such action) on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, as the case may be, and the
Secured Parties. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default, the
Agent may, and upon written direction from the Majority Banks shall, take all
lawful action at the expense of ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, as the case may be (for
reasonable costs and expenses), to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers
and privileges lawfully available to the Agent to the extent and in the manner
directed by the Majority Banks or, in the absence of such direction, by the
Agent itself, including, without limitation, the transmission of notices of
default and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to

Leasco, ▇▇▇▇▇, TRS or any obligor with respect to the Collateral and to exercise
any other remedies available to a secured party.
(b) Subject to Section 4.01(b), ▇▇▇▇▇ and Leasco each further agree
that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, exercise any
right, remedy, power or privilege available to it with respect to any obligor
under the Collateral, take any action to compel or secure performance or
observance by any obligor of its obligations to ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, respectively,
or give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver
with respect to any obligor.
SECTION 4.4 Amendments; Waivers; Declaration of Default. (a)
---------------------------------------------
Without intending in any manner to derogate from the absolute nature of the
assignment granted to the Agent by this Agreement or the rights of the Agent
hereunder, each of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Leasco agrees that it will not, without giving
prior written notice to the Rating Agencies and the Dealers and without the
prior written consent of the Majority Banks and the Agent (to the extent the
rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby), amend, modify, supplement,
terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement,
termination or surrender of, the terms of any Assigned Collateral or Loan
Collateral, respectively, or waive timely performance or observance by any
obligor of its obligations under the Assigned Collateral or Loan Collateral,
respectively, or any default on the part of any obligor under the Assigned
Collateral or Loan Collateral, respectively; provided, however, that each of
-------- -------
▇▇▇▇▇ and Leasco may amend the terms of any Assigned Collateral or Loan
Collateral, respectively, if such amendment is effected only to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision therein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision therein or which is otherwise defective,
or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under such Assigned Collateral or Loan Collateral, respectively, which shall not
be inconsistent with the provisions of such Assigned Collateral or Loan
Collateral, respectively; provided, such action pursuant to this clause shall
--------
not adversely affect the interests of a Secured Party in any material respect.
Each of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Leasco will not agree to any such amendment, waiver or other
change, (i) if such amendment, waiver or other change would materially adversely
affect the rights of the Holders of the Commercial Paper Notes or (ii) if the
Agent shall not have received written confirmation of the Rating Agencies that
such amendment, waiver or other change will not result in the downgrading or
withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Commercial Paper Notes by the
Rating Agencies. If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver
shall be so consented to by the Agent (to the extent required) and the Majority
Banks (to the extent required), each of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Leasco agrees, promptly
following a request by the Agent or the Liquidity Agent to do so, to execute and
deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments,
consents and other documents as any of them may deem necessary or appropriate in
the circumstances. No consent by the Agent or any other Secured Party to any
such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be deemed to be a
determination by the Agent that such amendment, modification, supplement or
waiver will not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Commercial Paper
Notes.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default, the Agent, upon
direction by the Majority Banks, shall direct ▇▇▇▇▇ to declare that the Loan
Commitments are terminated and, if no Commercial Paper Notes are then
Outstanding, the Loan Note is immediately due and payable.

-----------------
thereof, each of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Leasco agrees to give the Liquidity Agent, the

Leasco, as the case may be, has actual knowledge thereof) of each (a) default on
the part of Leasco of its obligations under the Loan Agreement or (b) Lease
Event of
9
Default under the Lease Agreement, in each case, that comes to ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ or
Leasco's, as the case may be, attention.

rely on such Issuance Certificate at all times from and after the issuance

obligation on the part of the Agent to confirm the truth, accuracy or
completeness of such certified statement or certificate and without any
obligation on the part of the Agent to undertake any other inquiry with respect
thereto. Upon each occasion that ▇▇▇▇▇ delivers information relating to the
Borrowing Base to the Depositary in accordance with Section 3(b) of the
Depositary Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide a copy of the notice containing such

and Deposited Funds pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 5.02 hereof, the Agent may

Funds pursuant to Section 5.02(c), the Agent may conclusively rely on such
previously received instructions.

5.02(b)(ii)(B), the Agent may rely exclusively upon a certificate or other
statement (a copy of which shall at the same time also be provided to ▇▇▇▇▇) of
the Depositary as to the amount then owing to such Holder.
(c) For purposes of determining the application to be made of
Deposited Funds and any Collateral to any Liquidity Lender or the Liquidity
Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to clause Fourth, Fifth or Sixth of Section

Agent may rely exclusively upon a certificate or other statement (a copy of
which shall at the same time also be provided to ▇▇▇▇▇) of the Liquidity Agent

to the Agent on account thereof.
(e) For purposes of determining the application to be made of Deposited

the amount then owing to any such Liquidity Lender.
The Agent shall not be liable for any application of the Deposited Funds in
accordance with any certificate or direction delivered pursuant to this Section
5.03 or 5.02(c); provided, however, that no application of the Deposited
-------- -------
Funds and Collateral in accordance with any certificate or statement delivered
pursuant to this Section 5.03 or 5.02(c) shall be deemed to restrict or limit
the right of the
14
Agent, ▇▇▇▇▇, the Liquidity Agent, the Depositary, any Liquidity Lender or any
Dealer to contest with the purported obligee its respective rights in respect of
the amount set forth in such certificate or statement.

claims of Leasco against TRS under, in connection and in accordance with the
Lease and against any party to any of the Related Documents, including the
right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by TRS
or any such party of its obligations to Leasco, the right, if any, to take
possession of any of the Vehicles, and to give any consent, request, notice,
direction, approval, extension or waiver in respect of the Lease or any of
the Related Documents, and any right of Leasco to take such action shall be
suspended.
If ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, as the case may be, shall have failed, within 2 Business
Days of receiving the directions of the Agent, to accomplish such directed
actions, the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, take such previously
directed actions (and any related action, as it would be permitted to direct
▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, as the case may be, to take, pursuant to paragraphs (i) and
(ii) of this Section 6.01(b), thereafter determined by the Agent to be
appropriate without the need under this provision or any other provision
hereunder to direct ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, as the case may be, to take such action) on
behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇, Leasco and the Secured Parties. The parties hereto agree,
however, that, until such time that no Commercial Paper Notes are Outstanding,
the number of Vehicles sold or disposed of
16
during any month shall not exceed the Fleet Disposition Limit unless the
aggregate Disposition Proceeds from such sales and dispositions exceeds the
aggregate Net Book Value of all Vehicles sold or disposed of during such month
(such Net Book Value to be measured for each Vehicle as of the date such Vehicle
was sold or disposed of).
SECTION 6.2. Special Provisions Concerning Remedies and Sale of
--------------------------------------------------
Collateral. (a) Upon any sale of any of the Collateral directly by the
----------
Agent, whether made by the power of sale given hereunder, or under judgment,
order or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the
enforcement of this Agreement:
(i) the Agent and/or any Liquidity Lender may bid for and purchase the
property being sold, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold,
retain, possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right
without further accountability; provided, however, that neither the Agent nor
-------- --------
any Liquidity Lender may bid on or purchase any such property if such action
could in any way prejudice the rights of the Secured Parties;
(ii) the Agent may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a
good and sufficient deed, ▇▇▇▇ of sale and instrument of assignment and
transfer of the property sold;
(iii) the Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful

necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment and transfer of
the property thus sold and for such other purposes as are necessary or
desirable to effectuate the provisions (including, without limitation, this
Section 6.02) of this Agreement, and for that purpose it may execute and
-------------
deliver all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment and
transfer, and may substitute one or more Persons with like power, and each of
▇▇▇▇▇ and Leasco hereby ratify and confirm all that its said attorney, or
such substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof; but if so
requested by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Agent or the Leasco Agent, as the case may be, or by
any purchaser, ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, as the case may be, shall ratify and confirm
any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to the Agent or to such
purchaser all property, deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment and
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request;
(iv) all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at
law or in equity or otherwise, of ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, as the case may be, in and
to the property so sold shall be divested; and such sale shall be a perpetual
bar both at law and in equity against, its successors and assigns, and
against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the property sold or
any part thereof from, through or under ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco, as the case may be,
its successors or assigns;
(v) the receipt of the Agent or of the officer thereof making such sale
shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale
for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and his or
their assigns or personal representatives shall not, after paying such
purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Agent or of such officer
therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money or be
in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application
thereof; and
(vi) to the extent that it may lawfully do so, each of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Leasco
agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal,
valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, or any law permitting it to
direct the order in which the Vehicles shall be sold, now or at any time
17
hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the
performance or enforcement of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the parties hereto agree that, until such time that no
-------- -------
Commercial Paper Notes are Outstanding, the number of Vehicles sold or disposed
of during any month shall not exceed the Fleet Disposition Limit unless the
aggregate Disposition Proceeds from such sales and dispositions exceeds the
aggregate Net Book Value of all Vehicles sold or disposed of during such month
(such Net Book Value to be measured for each Vehicle as of the date such Vehicle
was sold or disposed of).
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter
granted hereunder or under applicable law with respect to the Assigned
Collateral and the Loan Collateral, the Agent shall have all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any
applicable jurisdiction.
(c) After termination of this Agreement and the payment in full
of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Obligations, any proceeds of all the Assigned Collateral and Loan
Collateral received or held by the Agent shall be turned over to ▇▇▇▇▇ and
Leasco, respectively, and the Assigned Collateral or Loan Collateral shall be
reassigned to ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco by the Agent without recourse to the Agent and
without any representations, warranties or agreements of any kind.
ARTICLE VII.
The Agent, The Liquidity Lenders and
------------------------------------
the Holders of Commercial Paper Notes
-------------------------------------
SECTION 7.1 Appointment and Powers of Agent. (a) The Secured
-------------------------------
Parties hereby appoint the Agent their agent hereunder, and hereby authorize the
Agent to take such action on their behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies,
powers and privileges hereunder as are specifically authorized to be exercised
by the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such rights, remedies, powers
and privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto. The parties hereto agree
that the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any
action or refrain from taking any action in its capacity hereunder, but shall
only be required to act or refrain from acting in such capacity (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instruction of
the Majority Banks, ▇▇▇▇▇ or Leasco as the case may be, as provided herein.
The Agent may execute any of its duties as agent hereunder by or through agents
or employees and shall be entitled to retain experts and to act in reliance upon
the advice of such experts concerning all matters pertaining to the agencies
hereby created and its duties hereunder, and shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice
of such experts selected by it. The relationship between the Agent, and each of
the Secured Parties is that of agent and principal only, and nothing herein
shall be deemed to constitute the Agent a trustee for any of the Secured Parties
or impose on the Agent any obligations other than those for which express
provision is made herein.
(b) If the Agent receives unclear or conflicting instructions, it
shall be entitled to refrain from taking action until clear or non-conflicting
instructions are received, but shall inform the instructing party or parties
promptly of its decision to refrain from taking such action. Except as required
by the specific terms of this Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty to
exercise any rights, power, remedy or privilege granted to it hereby, or to take
any affirmative action hereunder or thereunder, unless directed to do so by the
Majority Banks (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting
pursuant to such directions which shall be binding on the Secured Parties), and
shall not, without the prior approval of the Majority Banks, waive any default
on the part of ▇▇▇▇▇ or
18
Leasco with respect to the Collateral or amend, modify, supplement or terminate,
or agree to any surrender of, this Agreement or the Collateral. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any
action which the Agent has reasonably determined that a reasonable likelihood
exists that such action will expose the Agent to personal or financial
liability, unless indemnified to its satisfaction, or which is contrary to this
Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral or
applicable law.
(c) None of the Secured Parties nor any of its or their respective
directors, officers, employees or agents, shall be liable to any Secured Party
or any other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
hereunder, or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct; nor (except for its own due execution and
delivery thereof) shall the Agent be responsible to any Secured Party for the
validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against Leasco or
▇▇▇▇▇ of this Agreement or any other document furnished pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith , or of the Collateral (or any part thereof), the Eligible
investments (or any part thereof) or the Deposited Funds (or any part thereof)
except to the extent arising out of its own gross negligence or wilful
misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (i)
makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party and shall not be
responsible to any Secured Party for any statements, warranties or
representations made by any other Person in or in connection with this
Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Liquidity Agreement or any other document
relating to the Collateral; and (ii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to
inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, or any other agreements or
instruments relating to the Collateral on the part of any party hereto or
thereto or to inspect any books or records relating to the Collateral other than
as it determines necessary in the fulfillment of its own obligations hereunder.
(d) The Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication,
instrument, paper or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been given, signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons.
The Agent shall be entitled to assume (unless it has actual knowledge to the
contrary) that no Amortization Event or Loan Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and that the Accounts, and any funds on deposit in or
to the credit of such Accounts, are not subject to any writ, order, judgment,
warrant of attachment, execution or similar process (collectively a "write"),
unless (i) in the case of any writ, an officer in the asset finance department
of the Agent has actual knowledge thereof or (ii) the Agent has received written
notice from the Liquidity Agent or Leasco under the Loan Agreement that the
Majority Banks consider that such an Amortization Event or Loan Event of Default
has occurred or such writ has been issued and continues to be in effect, which
notice specifies the nature thereof. The Agent may accept deposits from, lend
money to and generally engage in any kind of business with ▇▇▇▇▇, Leasco, TRS
and their respective affiliates as if it were not the agent of the Liquidity
Lenders and the Holders of Commercial Paper Notes. The Agent shall have the
right to refrain from taking any action under Article VI hereof unless it has
received written directions from the appropriate parties to take such action.
SECTION 7.2 Agents and Employees of the Agent. (a) Each Liquidity
---------------------------------
Lender hereby agrees, in accordance with its pro rata percentage of the sum of
the Aggregate Liquidity Commitment under the Liquidity Agreement, subject to the
limitations set forth in this clause (a), to indemnify and hold harmless the
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇), from and against any and all
losses (other than the Agent's loss of profit), liabilities (including,
liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, out-of-
pocket costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts) incurred or suffered
by the Agent in its capacity as agent hereunder as a result of any action taken
or omitted to be taken by the Agent in such capacity or otherwise incurred or
suffered by, made upon, or assessed
19
against the Agent in such capacity to the extent not reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇ or by
application of the Collateral; provided that no Liquidity Lender shall be liable
for any portion of any such losses, liabilities, actions, suits, judgments,
demands, costs or expenses resulting from or attributable to gross negligence or
wilful misconduct on the part of the Agent or its agents or employees. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Liquidity Lender hereby agrees,
in the ratio aforesaid, to reimburse the Agent promptly following its demand for
any out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent hereunder and not promptly reimbursed
to the Agent by ▇▇▇▇▇ or by application of the Collateral. The obligations of
each Liquidity Lender under this paragraph shall survive the termination of this
Agreement, and the Liquidity Agreement respectively, and the discharge of
▇▇▇▇▇'▇ obligations thereunder. The aggregate liability of the Liquidity Lenders
hereunder for any claim shall be limited to a percentage of the indemnity owing
equal to the percentage that the Aggregate Liquidity Commitments are of the
Program Size. If at any time, following its demand therefor, the Agent shall not
be reimbursed by Finco or by the Liquidity Lenders, the Agent is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time held by the Agent for
the benefit of the Liquidity Lenders, including without limitation any such
amounts designated for disbursement to the Liquidity Lenders in accordance with
Section 2.01 or Section 5.02(b), against any and all of the obligations of the
Liquidity Lenders to the Agent now or hereafter existing under this Agreement.
The Agent agrees promptly to notify each Liquidity Lender after any such set-off
and application made by the Agent, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the
Agent under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies which the
Agent may have. Any such set-off against amounts owed to Liquidity Lenders by
the Agent shall not cause a payment default of ▇▇▇▇▇ on amounts due to such
Liquidity Lenders to the extent funds are available in the Accounts to be
allocated to the payment of all amounts due to the Liquidity Lenders in
accordance with Section 2.01 or 5.02(b), as applicable.
(b) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the
performance of any duties hereunder or in the exercise of any rights and powers
hereunder.
(c) Any action or proceeding alleging any breach by the Agent of duties
under this Agreement shall be prosecuted only in the courts of the State of New
York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York. The Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from any
court of competent jurisdiction. The Agent may rely on the advice of counsel and
shall be held harmless for actions taken in reliance thereon.
(d) Subject to Section 3.04 hereof, the Agent makes no representation
as to, and shall have no responsibility for, the correctness of any statement
contained in, or the validity or sufficiency of, this Agreement or any documents
or instruments referred to in this Agreement or the sufficiency or effectiveness
of any collateral assigned by this Agreement or as to or for the validity or
collectibility of any obligation contemplated by this Agreement. The Agent
shall not be accountable for the use or application by any, person of
disbursements properly made by the Agent in conformity with the provisions of
this Agreement.
(e) The Agent may exercise any of its duties hereunder by or through
agents or employees. The possession of the Collateral by such agents or
employees shall be deemed to be the possession of the Agent.
(f) The provisions of this Section 7.02 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement or the resignation of the Agent hereunder.
20
SECTION 7.3. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
--------------------
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT 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 PARTIES HERETO IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO 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 PARTIES HERETO ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH
OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT.
SECTION 7.4. Successor Agent. The Agent acting hereunder at any
---------------
time may resign by an instrument in writing addressed and delivered, 60 days
prior to the effectiveness of such resignation, to each Liquidity Lender, the
Liquidity Agent, the Dealers, ▇▇▇▇▇, Leasco, each Rating Agency and the
Depositary, and may be removed at any time with or without cause by an
instrument in writing duly executed by or on behalf of the Majority Banks with
written notice to each of the Rating Agencies. Subject to the provisions
hereof, the Majority Banks shall appoint, subject to the written consent of
▇▇▇▇▇ (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), a successor to the
Agent upon any such resignation or removal, by an instrument of substitution
complying with the requirements of applicable law, or, in the absence of any
such requirements, without any formality other than appointment and designation
in writing. Upon the making and acceptance of such appointment, the execution
and delivery by such successor Agent of a ratifying instrument pursuant to which
such successor Agent agrees to assume the duties and obligations imposed on the
Agent by the terms of this Agreement, and the delivery to such successor Agent
of the Collateral, the Deposited Funds and documents and instruments then held
by the retiring Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the estate, rights, powers, remedies, privileges,
immunities, indemnities, duties and obligations hereby granted to or conferred
or imposed upon the retiring Agent named herein, and one such appointment and
designation shall not exhaust the right to appoint and designate further
successor Agents hereunder. No removal or resignation of the Agent shall be
effective unless and until a successor Agent has been duly appointed, and the
appointment of such successor Agent has been accepted by such successor Agent.
No Agent shall be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder until the
Collateral, the Deposited Funds and documents and instruments then held by such
retiring Agent shall have been transferred or delivered to the successor Agent
in its capacity as bank or trust company, until all Deposited Funds held in the
Accounts maintained with or in the name of the retiring Agent shall have been
transferred to the new Collateral Account and until such retiring Agent shall
have executed and delivered to the successor Agent appropriate instruments
assigning the retiring Agent's interest in the Collateral, the Accounts, the
Deposited Funds and Eligible Investments to the successor Agent. If no
successor Agent shall be appointed, as aforesaid, or, if appointed, shall not
have accepted its appointment, within 30 days after notice of resignation or
removal of the retiring Agent, then, subject to the provisions hereof, the
retiring Agent may appoint a successor Agent with the written consent of the
Liquidity Agent and (so long as no Amortization Event (other than a Scheduled
Amortization Event) or Loan Event of Default then exists) ▇▇▇▇▇, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each such successor Agent shall provide
▇▇▇▇▇, Leasco, each Liquidity Lender, the Liquidity Agent and the Depositary
with its address, and telephone, telecopy, telex, E-Mail (if applicable) and TWX
numbers, to be used for purposes of Section 9.04 hereof, in a notice complying
with the terms of said Section. Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of
any Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article VII
21
shall continue to inure to the benefit of such retiring Agent in respect of any
action taken or omitted to be taken by such retiring Agent in its capacity as
such while it was Agent under this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide prompt notice
to each Rating Agency of the appointment of a successor Agent. Upon the
appointment of a successor Agent hereunder, the predecessor Agent shall be
discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection
with this Agreement.
