Exchange Note Servicing Supplement 2024-A TO
CLOSED-END SERVICING AGREEMENT

 

THIS Exchange Note Servicing Supplement 2024-A TO CLOSED-END SERVICING AGREEMENT (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Exchange Note Servicing Supplement”), dated as of April 17, 2024, is among (i) WORLD OMNI FINANCIAL CORP., a Florida corporation (“World Omni”), as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), (ii) WORLD OMNI LT, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Titling Trust”) and (iii) AL HOLDING CORP., a Delaware corporation, as collateral agent (“ALHC” or the “Closed-End Collateral Agent”).

 

RECITALS

 

The Titling Trust, the Closed-End Collateral Agent and the Servicer have entered into that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Closed-End Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2009, as amended, to provide that such agreement will constitute the “Closed-End Servicing Agreement” (as defined in the Titling Trust Agreement) with respect to the Closed-End Collateral Specified Interest, which provides, among other things, for the servicing of the Titling Trust Assets by the Servicer.

 

The Titling Trust, as Borrower, the Closed-End Collateral Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Deal Agent, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Closed-End Administrative Agent, and the other Secured Parties named therein entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Collateral Agency Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Collateral Agency Agreement”).

 

The Collateral Agency Agreement contemplates that from time to time the Titling Trustee, on behalf of the Titling Trust and at the direction of the Initial Beneficiary, will identify and allocate on the Titling Trust’s books and records certain Titling Trust Assets within separate Reference Pools and create and issue to the Initial Beneficiary a Closed-End Exchange Note.

 

Concurrently herewith, World Omni Auto Leasing LLC (the “Depositor”) will purchase the Exchange Note, which represents the 2024-A Reference Pool, from the Initial Beneficiary and World Omni Automobile Lease Securitization Trust 2024-A, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuing Entity”), will purchase the Exchange Note, which represents the 2024-A Reference Pool, from the Depositor. The Issuing Entity is expected to fund such purchase from proceeds of the issuance of the Notes and Certificates.

 

Concurrently herewith, the Issuing Entity is entering into an asset-backed financing transaction pursuant to, among other agreements, an Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indenture”), among the Issuing Entity, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Account Bank, pursuant to which the Issuing Entity will issue asset-backed notes and will grant a security interest to the Indenture Trustee in certain of its assets.

 

 

Concurrently herewith, the Titling Trust, the Closed-End Collateral Agent, the Closed-End Administrative Agent, and the other Secured Parties named therein are entering into that certain Exchange Note Supplement 2024-A to the Collateral Agency Agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Exchange Note Supplement”) to supplement the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement (i) to cause the Titling Trustee to identify and allocate Titling Trust Assets to a particular Reference Pool (the “Reference Pool”), which shall consist of Titling Trust Assets which shall constitute Exchange Note Assets, (ii) to create and issue to Auto Lease Finance LLC a Closed-End Exchange Note and (iii) to set forth the terms and conditions thereof.

 

The Titling Trust desires to retain the Servicer to provide certain services with respect to the 2024-A Reference Pool allocated to the Closed-End Exchange Note owned by the Issuing Entity, and the parties hereto desire, pursuant to this Exchange Note Servicing Supplement, to supplement the terms of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement insofar as they apply to the 2024-A Reference Pool, providing for specific servicing obligations that will benefit the Issuing Entity, as holder of the Closed-End Exchange Note, and the Indenture Trustee, as the pledgee of the Closed-End Exchange Note on behalf of the Noteholders.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained and in the Closed-End Servicing Agreement, the parties hereto agree to the following supplemental obligations with regard to the Closed-End Exchange Note:

Article XII
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SERVICER

 

The Servicer represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders as follows:

 

Section 12.1      EXISTENCE AND POWER. The Servicer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida and has all power and authority required to carry on its business as it is now conducted. The Servicer has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Servicer, taken as a whole.

 

 

Section 12.2      AUTHORIZATION AND NO CONTRAVENTION. The execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and (ii) do not violate or constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its organizational instruments or (C) any agreement, contract, order or other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject and (iii) will not result in any Adverse Claim on any Transaction Unit or Closed-End EN Collected Amounts with respect to the 2024-A Reference Pool or give cause for the acceleration of any indebtedness of the Servicer.

 

Section 12.3      NO CONSENT REQUIRED. No approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of any Transaction Document, other than UCC filings and other than approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings which have previously been made.

 

Section 12.4      BINDING EFFECT. Each Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

 

Section 12.5      ACCURACY OF INFORMATION. All information heretofore furnished by or on behalf of the Servicer in writing to the Closed-End Administrative Agent for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is true and accurate in all material respects on and as of the date such information was furnished (except to the extent that such furnished information relates solely to an earlier date, in which case such information is true and accurate in all material respects on and as of such earlier date).

 

Section 12.6      NO PROCEEDINGS. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Servicer, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Servicer, or which would render invalid this Agreement or the Transaction Units or the obligations of the Servicer contemplated herein, or which would materially impair the ability of the Servicer to perform under the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

Article XIII
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE
REFERENCE POOL

 

Section 13.1      APPOINTMENT OF THE SERVICER.

 

(a)            The Servicer shall manage, service and administer the Exchange Note Assets for the benefit of each holder and pledgee of the Closed-End Exchange Note and shall make collections on the Transaction Units in accordance with its Credit and Collection Policy in effect from time to time, using the same degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable retail automotive leases that it services for itself or others.

 

 

(b)            The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations as Servicer in accordance with Section 3.5 of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)            If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Transaction Unit, the Titling Trust shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Transaction Unit to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Transaction Unit on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Transaction Unit, the Closed-End Collateral Agent shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Transaction Unit, including bringing suit in its name.

 

(d)            The Servicer shall account for the Transaction Units allocated to the 2024-A Reference Pool separately from any Other Reference Pool, any Unencumbered Reference Pool and the Warehouse Facility Pool.

 

Section 13.2      SERVICER BOUND BY CLOSED-END SERVICING AGREEMENT.

 

(a)            The Servicer shall continue to be bound by all provisions of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement with respect to the Transaction Units allocated to the 2024-A Reference Pool, including the provisions of Article VI thereof relating to the administration and servicing of Closed-End Leases; and the provisions set forth herein shall operate either as additions to or modifications of the existing obligations of the Servicer under the Closed-End Servicing Agreement, as the context may require. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Exchange Note Servicing Supplement and the Closed-End Servicing Agreement with respect to the Closed-End Exchange Note, the provisions of this Exchange Note Servicing Supplement shall prevail; provided, however, that Section 5.1(d) of the Servicing Agreement shall at all times govern the Required Deposit Amount.

 

(b)            For purposes of determining the Servicer’s obligations with respect to the servicing of the 2024-A Reference Pool under this Exchange Note Servicing Supplement, general references in the Closed-End Servicing Agreement to: (i) a Reference Pool shall be deemed to refer more specifically to the 2024-A Reference Pool; (ii) an Exchange Note Servicing Supplement shall be deemed to refer more specifically to this Exchange Note Servicing Supplement; and (iii) an Exchange Note Supplement shall be deemed to refer more specifically to the Exchange Note Supplement related to the 2024-A Reference Pool.

 

 

(c)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Exchange Note Servicing Supplement or the Servicing Agreement, including Section 6.7 thereof, the Servicer shall not in connection with any early lease termination program terminate or permit any Closed-End Obligor to terminate any Closed-End Lease and remove the related Closed-End Vehicle from the 2024-A Reference Pool in connection with such termination unless there shall have been deposited into the Exchange Note Collection Account an amount equal to the Securitization Value of such Closed-End Vehicle as of the termination date of such Closed-End Lease, provided, however, that the Servicer may at any time prior to the Maturity Date of a Closed-End Lease, agree to terminate such Closed-End Lease, provided the related Closed-End Obligor has made all remaining scheduled payments with respect to such Closed-End Lease and surrendered the related Closed-End Vehicle.

 

Section 13.3      APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.

 

(a)            Prior to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Collateral and subject to the provision of Section 5.1(d) of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to all Closed-End Exchange Note Collections received in respect of the 2024-A Reference Pool during any Closed-End EN Collection Period into the Exchange Note Collection Account on or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Closed-End Exchange Note Payment Date; provided, however, that if the Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, the Servicer will be required to deposit an amount equal to all Closed-End Exchange Note Collections into the Exchange Note Collection Account within two Business Days after receipt (including receipt of proper instructions regarding where to allocate such payment), (it being understood that, with respect to Relinquished Vehicle Proceeds, the Servicer shall remit the Relinquished Vehicle Proceeds in accordance with Section 5.1(d) of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement). The “Monthly Remittance Condition” shall be deemed to be satisfied if (i) World Omni is the Servicer, (ii) no Exchange Note Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) after providing prior notice, World Omni receives notice from the Rating Agencies that the cessation of daily deposits will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Notes. Pending deposit into the Exchange Note Collection Account, Closed-End Exchange Note Collections may be used by the Servicer at its own risk and for its own benefit and will not be segregated from its own funds.

 

(b)            After the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Collateral, the Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to Closed-End Exchange Note Collections in accordance with the instructions provided from time to time by the holder of the Exchange Note.

 

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition has been satisfied, the Servicer shall be permitted to deposit into the Exchange Note Collection Account only the net amount distributable to the Issuing Entity, as holder of the Exchange Note, and to retain any reimbursement for outstanding Servicing Fees, on the Closed-End Exchange Note Payment Date. The Servicer shall, however, account for all Closed-End Exchange Note Collections as if all of the deposits and distributions described herein were made individually.

 

 

Section 13.4      SERVICER CERTIFICATE. On or before the close of business on each Determination Date prior to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Collateral, the Servicer shall make available to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Administrator, the Closed-End Administrative Agent, the Closed-End Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/, or such other website or distribution service or provider as the Servicer shall designate by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Administrator, the Closed-End Administrative Agent, the Closed-End Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent, a Servicer Certificate reflecting information as of the close of business of the Servicer for the immediately preceding Closed-End EN Collection Period containing the information described in Section 8.3 of the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, such information shall include any Benchmark related information as described in Section 8.3(b) of the Indenture.

 

Section 13.5      SERVICER FEE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.9(b) of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement, on each Closed-End Exchange Note Payment Date, the Titling Trust will cause the Closed-End Administrative Agent to pay to the Servicer in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Exchange Note Supplement, the Servicing Fee for the immediately preceding Closed-End EN Collection Period as compensation for its services. In addition, the Servicer may retain any Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicer may, as long as it believes that sufficient collections will be available on one or more future Closed-End Exchange Note Payment Dates to pay the Servicing Fee, by notice to the Closed-End Administrative Agent on or before a Closed-End Exchange Note Payment Date, elect to defer all or a portion of the Servicing Fee with respect to the related Closed-End EN Collection Period, without interest. If the Servicer defers all of the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee for such related Closed-End EN Collection Period will be deemed to equal zero.

 

Section 13.6      INSURANCE LAPSES; REPAIRS. The Servicer shall have no liability in the event that any Closed-End Obligor fails to maintain, in full force and effect, a physical damage insurance policy covering any Transaction Unit or naming the Titling Trust as loss payee. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the Servicer be obligated to perform or be liable for any repairs or maintenance with respect to any Transaction Unit.

 

Section 13.7      LICENSING OF TITLING TRUST. The Servicer shall cause the Titling Trust to apply for and maintain at all times all licenses and permits necessary to carry on the Titling Trust’s leasing business in each jurisdiction in which the Titling Trust operates, except where the failure to have any license or permit would not materially and adversely affect the business, properties, financial condition or results of operation of the Titling Trust, taken as a whole.

 

Section 13.8      COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NOTEHOLDERS. The Servicer will comply with its obligations under Section 7.2(e) of the Indenture to include in the Form 10-D filed by the Issuing Entity with the Commission for the Collection Period the information described in such Section.

 

Section 13.9      PAYMENT OF FEES AND EXPENSES. The Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with the administration and servicing of the 2024-A Reference Pool and the Transaction Units, including, without limitation, expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of the Titling Trustee, independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and any Titling Trustee indemnity claims.

 

 

Section 13.10      ANNUAL INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS’ SERVICING REPORT.

 

(a)            On or before the 90th day following the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer, the Depositor or their respective Affiliates) to furnish to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer (who promptly shall provide the assessment described in this Section 13.10(a) to each Rating Agency) and the Depositor each attestation report on assessments of compliance with the Servicing Criteria with respect to the Servicer or any affiliate thereof during the related fiscal year delivered by such accountants pursuant to paragraph (c) of Rule 13a-18 or Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The certification required by this paragraph may be replaced by any similar certification using other procedures or attestation standards which are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable assets or which otherwise comply with any rule, regulation, “no action” letter or similar guidance promulgated by the Commission. The obligation to furnish each such report shall be deemed satisfied upon the Servicer making each such report available at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/, or such other website or distribution service or provider as the Servicer shall designate by written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor.

 

(b)            Deliveries pursuant to this Section 13.10 may be delivered by electronic mail.

 

Section 13.11      ANNUAL OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE.

 

(a)            The Servicer will make available to the Rating Agencies, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee on or before the 90th day following the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/, or such other website or distribution service or provider as the Servicer shall designate by written notice to the Rating Agencies, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate providing such information as is required under Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

(b)            The Servicer will make available to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, on or before the 90th day following the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/, or such other website or distribution service or provider as the Servicer shall designate by written notice to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year including disclosure of any material instance of non-compliance identified by the Servicer, as required under paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-18, Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

 

 

Section 13.12      POST-MATURITY TERM EXTENSION. Consistent with its Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer may, in its discretion, grant a Post-maturity Term Extension with respect to any Closed-End Lease in the 2024-A Reference Pool. If the Servicer grants a Post-maturity Term Extension with respect to a Closed-End Lease in the 2024-A Reference Pool beyond the month immediately preceding the month in which the Final Scheduled Payment Date of the most subordinate class of Notes occurs, then the Servicer shall direct the Titling Trustee to reallocate the Transaction Unit related to such Closed-End Lease from the 2024-A Reference Pool to the Warehouse Facility Pool or any Unencumbered Reference Pool on the Closed-End Exchange Note Payment Date following the beginning of the Closed-End EN Collection Period during which such Post-maturity Term Extension was granted. In consideration for such reallocation, the Servicer shall make a payment to the Issuing Entity equal to the Securitization Value of such Transaction Unit as of the end of the Closed-End EN Collection Period preceding such Closed-End Exchange Note Payment Date by depositing such amount into the Exchange Note Collection Account prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Closed-End Exchange Note Payment Date. None of the Servicer, the Titling Trustee, the Closed-End Collateral Agent, the Closed-End Administrative Agent, the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Seller, the Depositor or the Administrator will have an obligation to investigate whether a breach or other event has occurred that would require the reallocation of any Transaction Unit under this Section 13.12 or whether any Transaction Unit is required to be reallocated under this Section 13.12.

 

Section 13.13      INSURANCE POLICIES; ADDITIONAL INSUREDS. The Servicer shall at all times comply with Section 3.7(a) of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 13.14      SECURITY DEPOSITS. In accordance with Section 5.1(d) of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement, on the Closed-End Exchange Note Payment Date related to the Closed-End EN Collection Period in which a Security Deposit becomes a Closed-End Exchange Note Collection with respect to the 2024-A Reference Pool, the Servicer shall deposit such amounts (including, as applicable, any Required Deposit Amount) in the Exchange Note Collection Account.

 

Article XIV
TERMINATION OF THE SERVICER

 

Section 14.1      TERMINATION OF THE SERVICER AS TO THE SERIES 2024-A REFERENCE POOL.

 

(a)            Notwithstanding Section 8.3(a) of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement, as used herein “Exchange Note Servicer Default” means the occurrence and continuance of the following events:

 

(i)            Any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Closed-End Administrative Agent any proceeds or payment required to be delivered with respect to the Exchange Note, which failure continues unremedied for more than five Business Days after the earlier of notice from the Closed-End Administrative Agent is received by the Servicer or an Authorized Officer of the Servicer obtains actual knowledge of such failure; provided, that if such delay in or failure of performance referred to in this clause is caused by Force Majeure, such five Business Day grace period shall be extended for an additional 60 days; or

 

 

(ii)            Any failure by the Servicer to duly observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement of the Servicer in this Exchange Note Servicing Supplement or the Closed-End Servicing Agreement with respect to the Exchange Note which materially and adversely affects the rights of the Closed-End Administrative Agent or the Exchange Noteholder and which continues unremedied for more than 90 days after notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Closed-End Administrative Agent or the Exchange Noteholder; provided, that if such delay in or failure of performance referred to in this clause is caused by Force Majeure, such 90 day grace period shall be extended for an additional 60 days.

 

(b)            Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Exchange Note Servicer Default, the Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Administrator, the Closed-End Collateral Agent and each Rating Agency prompt notice specifying such Exchange Note Servicer Default, together with a description of its efforts to perform its obligations. The Servicer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under this Exchange Note Servicing Supplement and the Closed-End Servicing Agreement. The Servicer may not resign except in accordance with Section 8.4 of the Closed-End Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)            If an Exchange Note Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Titling Trustee on behalf of the holder of the Exchange Note, shall, at the direction of the Required Related Holders, by notice given to the Servicer (who promptly shall provide such notice to each Rating Agency), the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Closed-End Collateral Agent, the Titling Trust Administrator and the Administrator, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Exchange Note Servicing Supplement and the Closed-End Servicing Agreement with respect to the Exchange Note and the Included Units. In the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Exchange Note Assets, the Required Related Holders shall appoint a successor Servicer. With respect to any Exchange Note Servicer Default, the Closed-End Administrative Agent, acting on the direction of the Required Related Holders may waive any default of the Servicer. For purposes of this Section, so long as the Lien of the Indenture is in place, the “Required Related Holders” shall be deemed to be the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Notes and thereafter, the Issuing Entity, acting at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders.

 

(d)            If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Transaction Units to a successor Servicer.

 

 

(e)            Upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the successor Servicer of its duties pursuant to this Section 14.1, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under the Closed-End Servicing Agreement with respect to the 2024-A Reference Pool, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as Servicer as set forth in this Section 14.1(f).
