SECTION 2. GENERAL AGREEMENT.  (a)  As specified in the Lease Annexes, the Lessees and the Lessor intend that this Lease be (i) an operating lease with respect to the Acquired Vehicles and (ii) a financing arrangement with respect to the Financed Vehicles.
 
(b)           If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this Lease, this Lease is deemed by any court, tribunal, arbitrator or other adjudicative authority in any proceeding (each, a “Court”) to constitute a financing arrangement or otherwise not to constitute a “true lease” with respect to the Acquired Vehicles, then it is the intention of the parties that this Lease together with the Master Collateral Agency Agreement, as such agreements apply to the Acquired Vehicles, shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law (and such Acquired Vehicles shall be deemed to be Lessee Grantor Master Collateral), and it is the intention of the parties that this Lease together with the Master Collateral Agency Agreement, as such agreements apply to the Financed Vehicles, shall in all events constitute a security agreement under applicable law.  Each Lessee hereby acknowledges that it has granted to the Master Collateral Agent, pursuant to the Master Collateral Agency Agreement, for the benefit of the Trustee, a first priority security interest in all of such Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Lessee Grantor Master Collateral (as defined therein) as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the obligations and liabilities of such Lessee to the Lessor and the Trustee, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred (including interest accruing after the Lease Expiration Date and interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding), which may arise under, out of, or in connection with, this Lease and any other document made, delivered or given in connection herewith, whether on account of rent, principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, or expenses (including all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Lessor or the Trustee that are required to be paid by such Lessee pursuant to the terms hereof).
 
2.1 Leasing of Vehicles.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lessor agrees to lease to each Lessee and each Lessee agrees to lease from the Lessor each Acquired Vehicle or Financed Vehicle identified in Vehicle order summaries
 
 
3
 
 
(each, a “Vehicle Order”) produced from time to time by such Lessee, listing Eligible Vehicles ordered by the Lessee for itself or as agent for the Lessor, pursuant to the terms of any applicable Eligible Vehicle Disposition Programs or otherwise (including Eligible Vehicles refinanced or redesignated from another Segregated Group of Collateral pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Master Collateral Agency Agreement).  The Lessor shall, subject to Section 4 and to compliance with the terms of each Group VII Indenture, make available to the Lessees under this Lease financing for Financed Vehicles in an aggregate amount, and Acquired Vehicles for lease to the Lessees hereunder in an aggregate Net Book Value, which collectively shall not exceed the Maximum Lease Commitment.  The applicable Lessee shall make available to the Lessor (a) in the case of (i) the refinancing of any Financed Vehicle hereunder pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Master Collateral Agency Agreement  (collectively, (including, without limitation, any Vehicles previously subject to any other Master Lease and refinanced pursuant to such Master Lease), the “Refinanced Vehicles”), and/or (ii) the refinancing of Eligible Receivables, a schedule as set forth in Attachment A-1 hereto containing information concerning the Refinanced Vehicles and/or the Eligible Receivables of a scope agreed upon by the Lessor and such Lessee (a “Refinancing Schedule”), and (b) in the case of all other Vehicles (including Acquired Vehicles refinanced or redesignated pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Master Collateral Agency Agreement), a schedule containing the information with respect to the Vehicles included within the Vehicle Order for such Vehicle as is set forth in Attachment A-2 hereto, or in such form as is otherwise requested by the Lessor (each, a “Vehicle Acquisition Schedule”).  In addition, each Lessee shall provide such other information regarding such Vehicles as the Lessor may reasonably require from time to time.  The Lessor shall lease to the Lessees, and the Lessees shall lease from the Lessor, only Vehicles that are Eligible Vehicles.  This Lease, together with the Vehicle Disposition Programs and other incentive programs relating to the Vehicles and any other related documents attached to this Lease or submitted with a Vehicle Order or Refinancing Schedule (collectively, the “Supplemental Documents”), will constitute the entire agreement regarding the leasing of Vehicles by the Lessor to the Lessees.
 
2.2 Right of Lessees to Act as Lessor’s Agent.  The Lessor agrees that each Lessee may act as the Lessor’s agent in placing Vehicle Orders on behalf of the Lessor, as well as filing claims on behalf of the Lessor for damage in transit, and other delivery related claims with respect to the Vehicles leased hereunder; provided, however, that the Lessor may hold the applicable Lessee liable for such Lessee’s actions in performing as the Lessor’s agent hereunder.  In addition, the Lessor agrees that each Lessee may make arrangements for delivery of Vehicles to a location selected by such Lessee at such Lessee’s expense.  Each Lessee or any related lessee under a Sublease, as applicable, may accept or reject Eligible Vehicles upon delivery in accordance with such Lessee’s customary business practices, and any Eligible Vehicle, if rejected, will be deemed a Casualty hereunder.  The applicable Lessee, acting as agent for the Lessor, shall be responsible for pursuing any rights of the Lessor with respect to the return of any Eligible Vehicle to the Manufacturer thereof, or the applicable auction or dealer, as applicable, pursuant to the preceding sentence.  Each Lessee agrees that all vehicles ordered as provided herein shall be Eligible Vehicles and shall be ordered utilizing the procedures consistent with the applicable Vehicle Disposition Program or any guidelines of the Manufacturer, auction or dealer, as applicable, for the ordering or purchasing of Non-Program Vehicles, in each case as and to the extent applicable.
 
 
4
 
 
2.3 Payment of Purchase Price by Lessor.  Upon receipt of the Manufacturer’s invoice and certificate of origin in respect of any new Vehicle, or such other customary documentation in respect of any used Vehicle, the Lessor or its agent shall pay or cause to be paid to the auction, the dealer or the related Manufacturer, as applicable, the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of such Vehicle under the applicable Eligible Vehicle Disposition Program (in the case of a Program Vehicle) or otherwise (in the case of a Non-Program Vehicle) as established by the invoice of the auction, the dealer or the Manufacturer, as the case may be (the “Initial Acquisition Cost”), for such Vehicle and the applicable Lessee shall pay all applicable costs and expenses of freight, packing, handling, storage, shipment and delivery of such Vehicle to the extent that the same have not been included within the Initial Acquisition Cost; provided, that (i) in the case of any Refinanced Vehicles and/or any Eligible Receivables, the Lessor shall pay to the Master Collateral Agent (x) the aggregate Net Book Value as of the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date of such Refinanced Vehicles, as the case may be on the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date and/or (y) the face amount of the Eligible Receivables being refinanced on the effective date of such refinancing and (ii) in the case of any Acquired Vehicles refinanced or otherwise redesignated pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Master Collateral Agency Agreement, the Lessor and the Master Servicer shall comply with the applicable provisions of Section 2.3 with respect to such Acquired Vehicles.
 
2.4 Non-liability of Lessor.  The Lessor shall not be liable to a Lessee for any failure or delay in obtaining Vehicles or making delivery thereof.  AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEES, ACCEPTANCE FOR LEASE OF THE VEHICLES SHALL CONSTITUTE THE APPLICABLE LESSEE’S ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT THAT THE APPLICABLE LESSEE HAS FULLY INSPECTED SUCH VEHICLES, THAT THE VEHICLES ARE IN GOOD ORDER AND CONDITION AND ARE OF THE MANUFACTURE, DESIGN, SPECIFICATIONS AND CAPACITY SELECTED BY SUCH LESSEE, THAT SUCH LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT THE SAME ARE SUITABLE FOR ITS USE AND THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER, AN AGENT OF THE MANUFACTURER OR OTHERWISE ENGAGED IN THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF VEHICLES, AND HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT HEREBY MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPABILITY, WORKMANSHIP, DURABILITY OR SUITABILITY OF SUCH VEHICLES IN ANY RESPECT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR FOR THE PURPOSES OR USES OF SUCH LESSEE, OR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE LEASED VEHICLES WILL SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAW OR ANY CONTRACT SPECIFICATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT THERETO, AND AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND SUCH LESSEE, SUCH LESSEE AGREES TO BEAR ALL SUCH RISKS AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE.  EACH LESSEE SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO MAKE CLAIMS AGAINST THE LESSOR AND ANY LEASED VEHICLE FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, AND EACH LESSEE LEASES THE LEASED VEHICLES “AS IS.”  The Lessor shall not be liable for any failure or delay in delivering any Vehicle ordered for lease pursuant to this Lease, or for any failure to perform any provision hereof, resulting from fire or other casualty, natural disaster, riot, strike or other labor difficulty, governmental regulation or restriction, or any cause beyond the Lessor’s direct control.  
 
 
5
 
 
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LESSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, WHATSOEVER OR HOWSOEVER CAUSED, WHETHER RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN OR ANY THEFT, DAMAGE, LOSS OR FAILURE OF ANY VEHICLE, OR OTHERWISE, AND THERE SHALL BE NO ABATEMENT OF RENT BECAUSE OF THE SAME.
 
SECTION 3. TERM.
 
3.1 Vehicle Lease Commencement Date.  The “Vehicle Lease Commencement Date” shall mean, for each Vehicle, the earlier of (a) the date referenced in the Vehicle Acquisition Schedule or Refinancing Schedule with respect to such Vehicle, and (b) other than in the case of Acquired Vehicles refinanced or otherwise redesignated pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Master Collateral Agency Agreement, the date that funds are expended by the Lessor to acquire or finance the acquisition of such Vehicle (with respect to such Vehicle, the “Vehicle Funding Date”).  A vehicle shall be deemed hereunder to be a Vehicle leased under this Lease on each day during the period (the “Vehicle Term”) from and including the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date to but excluding the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date.

SECTION 4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.
 
4.1 Conditions to Each Lease of Vehicles.  The agreement of the Lessor to make available (a) any Acquired Vehicle for lease to the applicable Lessee and (b) financing for the acquisition of or refinancing of any other Vehicle for lease to such Lessee upon such Lessee’s placement of a Vehicle Order, for itself or as agent of the Lessor, or its delivery of a Refinancing Schedule, as applicable, is subject to the applicable terms and conditions of each Group VII Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent as of the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date for such Vehicle:

(i) Proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance by the Lessees of the applicable covenants and terms of this Lease or to recover damages for the breach hereof calculated in accordance with Section 17.5; or
 
(ii) By notice in writing to each Lessee, terminate this Lease in its entirety and/or the right of possession hereunder of the Lessees as to the Vehicles, and the Lessor may direct delivery by the Lessees of documents of title to the Vehicles, whereupon all rights and interests of the Lessees to the Vehicles will cease and terminate (but the Lessees will remain liable hereunder as herein provided, calculated in accordance with Section 17.5); and thereupon, the Lessor or its agents may peaceably enter upon the premises of the Lessees or other premises where the Vehicles may be located and take possession of them and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of the Lessees, or their successors or assigns (other than the Franchisees), to employ the Vehicles for any purpose whatsoever consistent with the mitigation of losses and damages, and the Lessor will, nevertheless, have a right to recover from the Lessees any and all amounts which under the terms of Section 17.2
 
 
19
 
 
(as limited by Section 17.5) of this Lease may be then due.  The Lessor will provide the applicable Lessee with written notice of the place and time of any sale of Financed Vehicles pursuant to this Section 17.3 at least five (5) days prior to the proposed sale, which shall be deemed commercially reasonable, and such Lessee or the Lessor may purchase the Vehicle(s) at the sale.  Each and every power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Lessor will be in addition to every other power and remedy hereby specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or in bankruptcy and each and every power and remedy may be exercised from time to time and simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor; provided, however, that the measure of damages recoverable against a Lessee will in any case be calculated in accordance with Section 17.5.  All such powers and remedies will be cumulative, and the exercise of one will not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others.  No delay or omission of the Lessor in the exercise of any such power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any payments due hereunder will impair any such power or remedy or will be construed to be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein.  Any extension of time for payment hereunder or other indulgence duly granted to a Lessee will not otherwise alter or affect the Lessor’s rights or the obligations hereunder of such Lessee.  The Lessor’s acceptance of any payment after it will have become due hereunder will not be deemed to alter or affect the Lessor’s rights hereunder with respect to any subsequent payments or defaults therein; or
 
(iii) By notice in writing to a Lessee, terminate the Power of Attorney of such Lessee; provided, that following a Servicer Default and the termination of the Master Servicer and each Servicer pursuant to Section 17.7, the Issuer shall terminate the Power of Attorney.

RENTAL CAR FINANCE CORP.
as Lessor,
 
DTG OPERATIONS, INC.,
as Lessee and Servicer,
 
and those Subsidiaries
of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.
from time to time
becoming Lessees and Servicers under such Master Motor
Vehicle Lease and Servicing Agreement
 
and
 
DOLLAR THRIFTY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.

1. Scope of Annex.  This Annex A shall supplement the Base Lease but shall apply only to the acquisition, leasing and servicing of the Acquired Vehicles by the Lessor pursuant to the Base Lease, as supplemented by this Lease Annex (collectively, this “Operating Lease”).
 
2. General Agreement.  With respect to the Acquired Vehicles, each Lessee and the Lessor each intend that the Base Lease, as supplemented by this Lease Annex, is an operating lease and that the relationship between the Lessor and the Lessees pursuant thereto and hereto shall always be only that of lessor and lessee, and each Lessee hereby declares, acknowledges and agrees that the Lessor has title to and is the owner of the Acquired Vehicles.  The Lessees shall not acquire by virtue of the Lease any right, equity, title or interest in or to any Acquired Vehicles, except the right to use the same under the terms of this Operating Lease.  The parties agree that this Operating Lease is a “true lease” for all legal, accounting, tax and other purposes and agree to treat this Operating Lease, as it applies to the Acquired Vehicles, as an operating lease for all purposes, including tax, accounting and otherwise.  The parties will file all federal, state and local tax returns and reports in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence.
 
3. Operating Lease Commitment.  (a)  Upon the execution and delivery of this Operating Lease, the Lessor shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Operating Lease, purchase or refinance from time to time on or after the Lease Commencement Date and prior to the Lease Expiration Date, all Acquired Vehicles identified in Vehicle Orders placed by a Lessee for a purchase price equal to the Initial Acquisition Cost thereof, and simultaneously therewith, the Lessor shall under this Operating Lease enter into operating leases with such Lessee with respect to such Vehicles; provided, that the aggregate Net Book Value of Acquired Vehicles leased hereunder on any date shall not exceed (a) the Maximum Lease Commitment, less (b) the Base Amount as of such date with respect to the Financing Lease.
 
4. Lease Procedures.  In connection with the lease of any Acquired Vehicles to be leased on or after the Lease Commencement Date, to evidence the acquisition of such Acquired Vehicles by the Lessor, the applicable Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor the following:
 
(a)           a Vehicle Order (including a Vehicle Acquisition Schedule) with respect to all Acquired Vehicles to be leased by such Lessee on or after the Lease Commencement Date;
 
(b)           UCC termination statements terminating, or UCC partial releases releasing, any security interests and other liens (other than Permitted Liens) in favor of any Person with respect to each Acquired Vehicle leased on or after the Lease Commencement Date and identified in such Vehicle Order, and any related Vehicle Disposition Programs;
 
(c)           with respect to the initial lease of Acquired Vehicles by such Lessee, a fully executed Assignment Agreement covering each Program Vehicle leased under this Annex A on or after the Lease Commencement Date, the related Vehicle Disposition Programs, and any other Master Collateral relating to such Vehicles.
 
Each Lessee hereby agrees that each such delivery of a Vehicle Order shall be deemed hereunder to constitute a representation and warranty by the Lessee, to and in favor of the Lessor and the Trustee, that all the conditions precedent to the acquisition and leasing of the Vehicles identified in such Vehicle Order have been satisfied as of the date of such Vehicle Order.
 
 
2
 
 
5. Maximum Vehicle Lease Term.  The maximum lease term of the Operating Lease as it relates to each Acquired Vehicle leased hereunder shall be from the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date to the date that is 36 months from the date of the original new vehicle dealer invoice for such Acquired Vehicle (such lease term with respect to an Acquired Vehicle, the “Maximum Vehicle Lease Term”).  On the occurrence of such date for a Vehicle not previously disposed of, the applicable Lessee shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Base Lease with respect to such Vehicle.
 
6. Lessee’s Rights to Purchase Vehicles.  Each Lessee will have the option, exercisable with respect to any Acquired Vehicle during the Vehicle Term with respect to such Acquired Vehicle, to purchase any Vehicles leased by it under this Operating Lease at the Vehicle Purchase Price, in which event such Lessee will pay the Vehicle Purchase Price to the Master Collateral Agent on or before the Due Date next succeeding such purchase by the Lessee plus all accrued and unpaid Monthly Base Rent and Monthly Variable Rent with respect to such Vehicle through the date of such purchase.  In addition, each Lessee will have the option, exercisable with respect to any Manufacturer Receivable related to an Acquired Vehicle which was leased by such Lessee under this Operating Lease, to purchase such Manufacturer Receivable for a price equal to the amount due from the Manufacturer under such Manufacturer Receivable, in which event the Lessee will pay such amount to the Master Collateral Agent on or before the Payment Date next succeeding such purchase by the Lessee.  Upon receipt of such funds by the Master Collateral Agent, the Lessor, at the request of the Lessee, shall cause title to any such Vehicle or Manufacturer Receivable, as applicable, to be transferred to the applicable Lessee, and the lien of the Master Collateral Agent on such Vehicle shall be released thereby.
 
7. Vehicle Disposition.  The Lessor and each Lessee agree that, with respect to Acquired Vehicles, the applicable Lessee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver each Program Vehicle leased by it under this Operating Lease for sale in accordance with the applicable Auction Procedures or to return such related Program Vehicle to the related Manufacturer (a) not prior to the end of the Minimum Term for such Vehicle, and (b) not later than the end of the Maximum Term for such Vehicle; provided, however, if for any reason, such Lessee fails to deliver such a Program Vehicle to the applicable Manufacturer for repurchase by the Manufacturer or in accordance with the applicable Auction Procedures, in each case in accordance with the applicable Vehicle Disposition Program during the time period between the expiration of the Minimum Term and the expiration of the Maximum Term, such Lessee shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Base Lease with respect to such Vehicle.  Each Lessee shall, with respect to Acquired Vehicles leased by it under this Operating Lease, pay the equivalent of the Rent for the Minimum Term for Program Vehicles returned before the Minimum Term, regardless of actual usage, unless such a Program Vehicle is a Casualty, which will be handled in accordance with Section 7 of the Base Lease.  All Disposition Proceeds, Repurchase Payments and Guaranteed Payments due from the disposition of Program Vehicles pursuant to this paragraph 7 shall be due and payable to the Lessor as provided in paragraph 10(d) hereof.  The Lessor and each Lessee agree, with respect to Acquired Vehicles, that such Lessee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of each Non-Program Vehicle leased to it under this Operating Lease
 
 
3
 
 
(a) in a manner most likely to maximize proceeds from such disposition and consistent with industry practice and (b) within thirty-six (36) months after the date of the original new vehicle dealer invoice for such Vehicle.  All Disposition Proceeds due from the disposition of Non-Program Vehicles pursuant to this paragraph 7 shall be due and payable to the Lessor as provided in paragraph 10(d) hereof.
 
8. Lessor’s Right to Cause Vehicles to be Sold.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Operating Lease, the Lessor shall have the right, at any time after the date thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Maximum Term for any Program Vehicle leased under this Operating Lease, to require that the Lessee in respect of such Program Vehicle deliver such Program Vehicle to the Manufacturer for repurchase or, as applicable, to the designated auction site, or exercise commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the sale of such Program Vehicle to a third party for a price that is no less than the Net Book Value thereof, in which event the Lessee shall, prior to the expiration of such Maximum Term, deliver such Vehicle to its Manufacturer or the designated auction site or arrange for the sale of such Program Vehicle to a third party for a price that is no less than the Net Book Value (or purchase the Program Vehicle itself from the Lessor for the Vehicle Purchase Price).  If a sale of the Program Vehicle is arranged by a Lessee prior to the expiration of such Maximum Term, then such Lessee shall deliver the Program Vehicle to the purchaser thereof, the Lien of the Master Collateral Agent on such Program Vehicle shall be released thereby, and such Lessee shall cause to be delivered to the Lessor the funds paid for such Program Vehicle by the purchaser.  If a Lessee is unable to arrange for a sale of the Program Vehicle prior to the expiration of such Maximum Term, then such Lessee shall cease attempting to arrange for such a sale and shall return such Program Vehicle to the applicable Manufacturer or tender such Program Vehicle in accordance with applicable Auction Procedures or purchase such Vehicle as herein provided.  In no event may any Program Vehicle be sold pursuant to this paragraph 8 (other than pursuant to a Vehicle Disposition Program) unless the funds to be paid to the Lessor arising out of such sale exceed the Net Book Value of such Vehicle less reasonably estimated Excess Mileage Charges, Excess Damage Charges and other similar charges imposed by the Manufacturer.
 
9. Calculation of Rent.  Rent shall be due and payable on a monthly basis as set forth in this paragraph 9:
 
“Monthly Base Rent”, with respect to each Due Date and each Acquired Vehicle leased under this Operating Lease on any day during the Related Month, shall be the sum of all Depreciation Charges that have accrued with respect to such Vehicle during the Related Month.
 
“Monthly Variable Rent”, with respect to each Due Date and each Acquired Vehicle leased under this Operating Lease on any day during the Related Month, shall equal the sum, without double counting, of (a) the product of (i) an amount equal to the Net Book Value of such Acquired Vehicle on the first day contained within both the Related Month and the Vehicle Term with respect to such Vehicle multiplied by the VFR for the Interest Period ending on the next succeeding Payment Date and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the number of days contained within both the Related Month and the Vehicle Term with respect to such Acquired Vehicle by (B) the total number of days in the Related Month plus (b) the product of (i) an amount equal to all Carrying Charges for the Related Month with respect to the Group VII Series of Notes,
 
 
4
 
 
and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the Net Book Value of such Acquired Vehicle as of the first day of the Related Month by the Net Book Value of all Vehicles leased under the Lease as of the first day of the Related Month.
 
“Rent” means Monthly Base Rent plus Monthly Variable Rent.
 
“VFR”, for any Interest Period with respect to any Group VII Series of Notes, is an interest rate equal to the quotient, expressed as a percentage, of (i) the aggregate amount of interest (including default or penalty interest) accrued during such Interest Period with respect to all Group VII Series of Notes, divided by (ii) the average daily Aggregate Principal Balance of all such Group VII Series of Notes during such period.
 
10. Payment of Rent and Other Payments.
 
(a)           Monthly Base Rent.  On each Due Date, each Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the Monthly Base Rents that have accrued during the Related Month with respect to all Vehicles that were leased by such Lessee under this Operating Lease on any day during the Related Month;
 
(b)           Monthly Variable Rent.  On each Due Date, each Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the Monthly Variable Rents that have accrued during the Related Month with respect to all Vehicles that were leased by such Lessee under this Operating Lease on any day during the Related Month;
 
(c)           Termination Payments, Casualty Payments and Late Return Payments.  On each Due Date, each Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Termination Payments, Casualty Payments and Late Return Payments with respect to Vehicles leased by such Lessee under this Operating Lease as provided in Section 5.4 of the Base Lease; and
 
(d)           Certain Other Payments.  Each Lessee shall cause all Disposition Proceeds, Repurchase Payments, Guaranteed Payments and Incentive Payments payable in respect of Acquired Vehicles leased by it under this Operating Lease, to be paid directly to the Master Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries.  The Servicer and the Lessees each agree that in the event that the Servicer or a Lessee shall receive directly any such payment, including cash, securities, obligations or other property, the Servicer or such Lessee, as the case may be, shall accept the same as the Master Collateral Agent’s agent and shall hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of the Master Collateral Agent, and shall deposit the same, within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, into the Master Collateral Account in the same form received, with the endorsement of the Servicer or such Lessee, as the case may be, when necessary or appropriate.  For purposes of the payment of Rent and other payments for any Related Month as described above in this Annex, such Rent and other payments will net out the amount of certain Incentive Payments payable for the benefit of the Lessee in respect of costs and expenses of the Lessee in connection with the leasing of the related Program Vehicle (including, without limitation, any “in-service retention bonus” and any compensation for leasing expenses in respect of Vehicles delivered to the Manufacturer and unsold at Auction)
 
 
5
 
 
received by the Master Collateral Agent into the Master Collateral Account during such Related Month, but only to the extent that the aggregate amount of Disposition Proceeds, Repurchase Payments, Guaranteed Payments and Incentive Payments received during such Related Month on Acquired Vehicles disposed of under a Vehicle Disposition Program, as applicable, from the sale or other disposition of such Acquired Vehicle is at least equal to the aggregate Net Book Values of such Acquired Vehicles calculated as of the applicable Vehicle Lease Expiration Date.
 
11. Net Lease.  THIS OPERATING LEASE SHALL BE A NET LEASE, AND EACH LESSEE’S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER SUMS HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT OR REDUCTION FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.  The obligations and liabilities of the Lessees hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected (except as may be expressly provided in this Operating Lease, including, without limitation, the right of a Lessee to reject Vehicles pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Base Lease) for any reason, including without limitation:  (i) any defect in the condition, merchantability, quality or fitness for use of the Vehicles or any part thereof; (ii) any damage to, removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, scrapping or destruction of or any requisition or taking of the Vehicles or any part thereof; (iii) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the Vehicles or any part thereof; (iv) any defect in or any Lien on title to the Vehicles or any part thereof; (v) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission in respect of any obligation or liability of a Lessee or the Lessor; (vi) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Lessee, the Lessor or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Operating Lease by any trustee or receiver of any Person mentioned above, or by any court; (vii) any claim that such Lessee has or might have against any Person, including without limitation the Lessor; (viii) any failure on the part of the Lessor to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any other agreement; (ix) any invalidity or unenforceability or disaffirmance of this Operating Lease or any provision hereof or any of the other Related Documents with respect to any Series of Notes or any provision of any thereof, in each case whether against or by such Lessee or otherwise; (x) any insurance premiums payable by such Lessee with respect to the Vehicles; or (xi) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not such Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing and whether or not foreseen or foreseeable.  This Operating Lease shall be noncancelable by any Lessee and, except as expressly provided herein, each Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this Operating Lease, or to any diminution or reduction of Rent payable by the Lessee hereunder.  All payments by a Lessee made hereunder shall be final (except to the extent of adjustments provided for herein), absent manifest error and, except as otherwise provided in this Operating Lease, no Lessee shall seek to recover any such payment or any part thereof for any reason whatsoever, absent manifest error.  If for any reason whatsoever this Operating Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise except as expressly provided herein, each Lessee shall nonetheless pay an amount equal to each Rent payment at the time and in the manner that such payment would have become due and payable under the terms of this Operating Lease as if it had not been terminated in whole or in part.  All covenants and agreements of each Lessee in this Operating Lease shall be performed at its cost, expense and risk unless expressly otherwise stated.
 
 
6
 
 
12. Liens.  Except for Permitted Liens, each Lessee shall keep all Acquired Vehicles leased by it free of all Liens arising during the Term.  Upon the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date for each Acquired Vehicle leased hereunder, the Lessor may, in its discretion, remove any such Lien and any sum of money that may be paid by the Lessor in release or discharge thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, will be paid by the applicable Lessee upon demand by the Lessor (if not otherwise provided for herein).  The Lessor may grant security interests in the Acquired Vehicles without consent of the applicable Lessee; provided, however, that if any such Liens would interfere with the rights of such Lessee under this Operating Lease or any sublessee of such Lessee, the Lessor must obtain the prior written consent of such Lessee.  Each Lessee acknowledges that the granting of Liens and the taking of other actions pursuant to each Group VII Indenture and the Related Documents with respect to any Group VII Series of Notes does not interfere with the rights of such Lessee under this Operating Lease.
 
13. Non-Disturbance.  So long as a Lessee satisfies its obligations hereunder, its quiet enjoyment, possession and use of the Acquired Vehicles will not be disturbed during the Term subject, however, to paragraph 8 of this Annex A and except that the Lessor, the Master Collateral Agent and the Trustee each retains the right, but not the duty, to inspect the Acquired Vehicles without disturbing the ordinary conduct of such Lessee’s business and except as may be required as a consequence of a Liquidation Event of Default or Limited Liquidation Event of Default (or any similar event under any Supplement to the Base Indenture relating to a Group VII Series of Notes) or certain optional prepayments of a Series of Notes.  Upon the request of the Lessor, the Master Collateral Agent or the Trustee, from time to time, each Lessee will make reasonable efforts to confirm to the Lessor, the Master Collateral Agent and the Trustee the location, mileage and condition of each Acquired Vehicle and to make available for the Lessor’s, the Master Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s inspection within a reasonable time period, not to exceed forty-five (45) days, the Acquired Vehicles leased by such Lessee at the location where the Acquired Vehicles are normally located.  Further, each Lessee (and each related Franchisee) will, during normal business hours and with a notice of three (3) Business Days, make its records pertaining to such Acquired Vehicles available to the Lessor, the Master Collateral Agent or the Trustee for inspection at the location where such Lessee’s (and each such related Franchisee’s) records are normally domiciled.
 
14. Certain Risks of Loss Borne by Lessees.  Upon delivery of each Acquired Vehicle to a Lessee, as between the Lessor and such Lessee, such Lessee assumes and bears the risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction, attachment, seizure, confiscation or requisition and all other risks and liabilities with respect to such Vehicle, including personal injury or death and property damage, arising with respect to such Vehicle due to the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, delivery, leasing, subleasing, possession, use, inspection, registration, operation, condition, maintenance, repair or storage of such Vehicle, howsoever arising.
 
15. Title.  This is an agreement to lease only, and title to the Acquired Vehicles will at all times remain in the Lessor’s name.  The Lessees will not have any rights or interest in such Vehicles whatsoever other than the rights of possession and use and the right to sublease such Vehicles as provided by this Operating Lease.  
 
 
7
 
 
In addition, each Lessee, by its execution hereof, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Lessor is the sole owner and holder of all right, title and interest in and to the Vehicle Disposition Programs as they relate to the Acquired Vehicles leased hereunder and (ii) such Lessee has no right, title or interest in any Vehicle Disposition Program as it relates to any such Vehicle leased hereunder.  To confirm the foregoing, each Lessee, by its execution of the Base Lease of which this Annex A is a part, hereby assigns and transfers to the Lessor any rights that such Lessee may have in respect of any Vehicle Disposition Programs as they relate to the Acquired Vehicles leased hereunder.

Each Lessee hereby agrees that each such delivery of a Vehicle Order or Refinancing Schedule, as applicable, shall be deemed hereunder to constitute a representation and warranty by such Lessee, to and in favor of the Lessor and the Trustee, that all the conditions precedent to the acquisition or financing or refinancing and leasing of the Vehicles identified in such Vehicle Order or Refinancing Schedule, as applicable,  have been satisfied as of the date of such Vehicle Order or Refinancing Schedule.

“Monthly Supplemental Payment” with respect to each Due Date and each Financed Vehicle shall be an amount equal to, without double counting, (a) the sum of, as applicable, (i) the aggregate amount of any Guaranteed Payment, Repurchase Payment, Disposition Proceeds and Incentive Payments received by the Lessor, the Master Collateral Agent or the Trustee (including by deposit into the Collection Account or the Master Collateral Account) during the Related Month with respect to such Vehicle, (ii) the amount of any unpaid Guaranteed Payment or unpaid Repurchase Payment with respect to such Vehicle becoming a delinquent Guaranteed Payment due and owing from a Manufacturer but unpaid for 60 days or more from the date of Auction of the related Vehicle or delinquent Repurchase Payment due and owing from a Manufacturer but unpaid for 60 days or more from the date of turnback of a Program Vehicle,
 
 
3
 
 
as the case may be, during the Related Month, (iii) the amount of any Disposition Proceeds with respect to such Vehicle becoming delinquent Disposition Proceeds due and owing from the purchaser of or auction facility for a Non-Program Vehicle but unpaid for a period of sixty (60) days or more from the date of sale of such Vehicle during the Related Month, (iv) the amount of any unpaid Incentive Payments with respect to such Vehicle becoming delinquent Incentive Payments due and owing from a Manufacturer but unpaid for sixty (60) days or more from the date of delivery of the related Vehicle in accordance with such Manufacturer’s incentive program or such other date in accordance with such program during the Related Month, (v) if such Vehicle becomes a Casualty or ceases to be an Eligible Vehicle (other than as a result of the sale or other disposition thereof), in each case during the Related Month, the Net Book Value of such Vehicle calculated as of the earlier of the last day of such Related Month and the date such Vehicle becomes a Casualty or is disposed of, as applicable, and (vi) if such Vehicle was returned to its Manufacturer for repurchase or sold to any Person or otherwise disposed of, in each case during the Related Month, the excess, if any, of (A) the Net Book Value of such Vehicle, calculated as of the applicable Vehicle Lease Expiration Date, over (B) the sum, without duplication, of all amounts (other than Incentive Payments) paid and/or payable in respect of such Vehicle pursuant to clauses (i) – (iii) and (v) above, less (b) the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of Disposition Proceeds, Guaranteed Payments or Repurchase Payments, as applicable, from the sale or other disposition of such Vehicle received by the Lessor, the Master Collateral Agent or the Trustee (including by deposit into the Collection Account or the Master Collateral Account) during such Related Month over (ii) the Net Book Value of such Vehicle, calculated as of the applicable Vehicle Lease Expiration Date.
 
“Rent” means Monthly Base Rent plus Monthly Finance Rent.
 
“VFR”, for any Interest Period with respect to any Group VII Series of Notes, is an interest rate equal to the quotient, expressed as a percentage, of (i) the aggregate amount of interest (including default or penalty interest) accrued during such Interest Period with respect to all Group VII Series of Notes, divided by (ii) the average daily Aggregate Principal Balance of all such Group VII Series of Notes during such period.
 
7. Payment of Rent and Other Payments.
 
(a)  On each Due Date:
 
(i)           Monthly Base Rent.  Each Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the Monthly Base Rents that have accrued during the Related Month with respect to all Vehicles that were leased by such Lessee under this Finance Lease on any day during the Related Month; provided, however, that in the event that delinquent payments of Guaranteed Payments, Repurchase Payments, Disposition Proceeds and/or Incentive Payments are received by the Lessor, the Master Collateral Agent or the Trustee (including by deposit into the Collection Account or the Master Collateral Account) during the Related Month,
 
 
4
 
 
such payments may be netted against the Monthly Base Rents to be paid on such Due Date to the extent (but only to the extent) that Monthly Base Rent has already been received by any of such Persons in respect of such delinquent payment obligations pursuant to any or all of clauses (a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Monthly Supplemental Payment set forth in this Annex B;
 
(ii)           Monthly Finance Rent.  Each Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the Monthly Finance Rents that have accrued during the Related Month with respect to all Vehicles that were leased by such Lessee under this Finance Lease on any day during the Related Month.
 
(iii)           Monthly Supplemental Payments.  Each Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the Monthly Supplemental Payments that have accrued during the Related Month with respect to all Vehicles that were leased by such Lessee under this Finance Lease on any day during the Related Month; provided, however, that in the event that the Monthly Supplemental Payment accrued during a Related Month is a negative dollar amount, such amount may be netted against other payments to be paid on such Due Date pursuant to this paragraph 7.
 
(b)           On the expiration of the term of this Financing Lease with respect to a Financed Vehicle, any remaining portion of the Base Amount with respect to such Vehicle, plus all other amounts payable by each Lessee under this Financing Lease with respect to such Vehicle shall be immediately due and payable.
 
(c)           Each Lessee may from time to time prepay the applicable portion of the Base Amount of this Financing Lease with respect to a Financed Vehicle, in whole or in part, on any date, provided, that such Lessee shall give the Lessor and the Trustee not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior notice of any prepayment, specifying the date and amount of such prepayment, and the Financed Vehicles to which such prepayment relates.
 
8. Risk of Loss Borne by Lessees.  Upon delivery of each Financed Vehicle to a Lessee, as between the Lessor and such Lessee, such Lessee assumes and bears the risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction, attachment, seizure, confiscation or requisition with respect to such Vehicle, however caused or occasioned, and all other risks and liabilities, including personal injury or death and property damage, arising with respect to such Vehicle or the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, leasing, subleasing, possession, use, inspection, registration, operation, condition, maintenance, repair, storage, sale, return or other disposition of such Vehicle, howsoever arising.
 
9. Lessee’s Rights to Purchase Manufacturer Receivables.  In addition, each Lessee will have the option, exercisable with respect to any Manufacturer Receivable related to a Financed Vehicle which was leased by such Lessee under this Financing Lease, to purchase such Manufacturer Receivable for a price equal to the amount due from the Manufacturer under such Manufacturer Receivable, in which event the Lessee will pay such amount to the Master Collateral Agent on or before the Payment Date next succeeding such purchase by the Lessee.  Upon receipt of such funds by the Master Collateral Agent, the Lessor, at the request of the Lessee, shall cause title to any such Manufacturer Receivable to be transferred to the Lessee,
 
 
5
 
 
and the lien of the Master Collateral Agent in such Manufacturer Receivable will automatically be released concurrently with or promptly after the purchase price for such Manufacturer Receivable (and any unpaid Monthly Base Rent, unpaid Monthly Variable Rent and other unpaid charges, payments and amounts with respect to the related Vehicle) is paid by the Lessee to the Master Collateral Agent or the Trustee.
