PURCHASES; PAYMENTS


 


Section 2.01 Advances.


 


(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Series 2010-3 Supplement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations, warranties and agreements herein set forth, during the Series 2010-3 Revolving Period (i) RCFC from time to time may request that the Purchasers advance funds to purchase or refinance the purchase of some or all of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount (each, an “Advance”); provided, that RCFC may not request more than four Advances in any calendar month; and (ii) (A) the Conduit Purchasers of an Ownership Group (if any) may fund some or all such Advances of such Ownership Group, and (B) the Committed Purchasers of an Ownership Group shall fund such Advances of such Ownership Group to the extent that the Conduit Purchasers of such Ownership Group do not fund such Advances or if such Ownership Group does not include a Conduit Purchaser.  Each Conduit Purchaser hereby agrees with respect to itself that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to fund Advances made by its Ownership Group through the issuance of such Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper; provided, that (i) no Conduit Purchaser will have any obligation to use such commercially reasonable efforts at any time that (x) an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, or (y) the funding of such Advance through the issuance of Commercial Paper would be prohibited by the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s commercial paper program, (ii) nothing herein is (or shall be construed) as a commitment by any Conduit Purchaser to fund any Advance through the issuance of Commercial Paper, and (iii) notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Related Document to the contrary, at no time will a Conduit Purchaser that is not also a Committed Purchaser be obligated to make Advances hereunder.


 


(b) Unless the parties hereto otherwise agree, all Advances with respect to an Ownership Group shall be evidenced by a Series 2010-3 Note in the name of the applicable Managing Agent and having a principal balance that varies from time to time to reflect the Advances made by and payments made to (or to the Managing Agent on behalf of) the Purchasers with respect to such Ownership Group.


 


(c) All Advances on any date shall be allocated (i) with respect to the initial Advances made on the Series 2010-3 Original Closing Date, 


 




  





10











  






 


to the Series 2010-3 Initial Invested Amount and to each of the Initial Series 2010-3 Notes in accordance with the Applicable Pro Rata Share of each Ownership Group (as in effect at such time); and (ii) thereafter, in accordance with the provisions in Section 4A.2 of the Series 2010-3 Supplement for allocating Increases, to the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount and to each of the Series 2010-3 Notes in accordance with the Applicable Pro Rata Share of each Ownership Group.  Each of the Advances to be made on any date shall be made as part of a single borrowing (each such single borrowing being a “Borrowing”).  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2010-3 Supplement, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances and corresponding Series 2010-3 Invested Amount represented by the Series 2010-3 Notes may be increased or decreased from time to time.


 


Section 2.02 Advance Procedures.


 


(a) Notice.  RCFC may request Advances by sending each Managing Agent (by facsimile) a Borrowing Request at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Advance Date (or, in the case of the initial Advances under this Agreement, on the related Advance Date).  Each Borrowing Request shall state (i) the applicable Advance Date and (ii) the amount of the requested Advance.  Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum principal amount of two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) and integral multiples of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof; provided, that a Borrowing may be for an amount equal to the entire remaining Series 2010-3 Maximum Invested Amount even if such amount is less than the minimum principal amount or integral multiple amount, as applicable, set forth in this sentence.


 


(b) Advances.  Subject to clause (d) below, on each Advance Date identified in a Borrowing Request:  (i) the applicable Conduit Purchasers (unless such Conduit Purchasers do not fund the applicable Borrowing or the related Ownership Group does not include a Conduit Purchaser), shall fund an Increase in the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount in the amount specified in such Borrowing Request; and (ii) to the extent necessary to fully fund such Borrowing, the related Committed Purchasers shall fund the remainder of such Increase in the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount on such Advance Date.  Each Managing Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify RCFC prior to an Advance Date if its related Conduit Purchasers (if any) shall not participate in the Borrowing to be funded on such Advance Date; provided, that the failure of a Managing Agent to so notify RCFC shall not obligate such related Conduit Purchasers to participate in such Borrowing.  Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Advances shall be allocated among the Ownership Groups based on their respective Applicable Pro Rata Shares.  For avoidance of doubt, (x) the decision of a particular Conduit Purchaser to decline to participate in a Borrowing shall not obligate any other Conduit Purchasers to decline to participate in a Borrowing, and (y) the decision of a particular Conduit Purchaser to participate in a Borrowing shall not obligate any other Conduit Purchaser to participate in a Borrowing.


 




  





11











  






 


(c) Payment of Advances.  Each Managing Agent severally agrees, on behalf of its Ownership Group, in each case pro rata based on the respective Applicable Pro Rata Share of its related Ownership Group, to remit the applicable Advances to RCFC on the related Advance Date not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on such Advance Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to RCFC’s account no. 01419647, ABA# 021001033, maintained at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (ref:  Rental Car Finance Corp. Series 2010-3) (or such other account as may from time to time be specified by RCFC in a notice to each Managing Agent).


 


(d) Conditions Precedent.  The initial Borrowing and each subsequent Borrowing under this Agreement shall be subject to the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV.  No Committed Purchaser shall be required to make a portion of any Advance to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, (A) the portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount funded or maintained by such Committed Purchaser (in each case pursuant to this Agreement) would exceed (B) the excess, if any, of (I) the product of (x) its Purchaser Percentage multiplied by (y) the Series 2010-3 Maximum Invested Amount over (II) the portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount then funded or maintained by the related Ownership Group.


 


Section 2.03 Extension of Expiration Date.  The parties hereto may mutually agree in writing to the extension of the Expiration Date to a date no later than 364 days following the date of such extension.  Each Managing Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify RCFC and DTAG thirty (30) days prior to the then current Expiration Date if its related Conduit Purchaser(s) (if any) will not extend such Expiration Date; provided, however, that the failure of such Managing Agent to give such notice to RCFC and DTAG shall not affect any Conduit Purchaser’s right to not extend such Expiration Date.  If fewer than all of the Ownership Groups have consented to an extension of the Expiration Date, then RCFC may:


 


(i) request the reallocation of the Group Funding Limit of each non-extending Ownership Group to the extending Ownership Groups in pro rata shares equal to a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Group Funding Limit of such extending Ownership Group at such time and the denominator of which is the sum of the Group Funding Limits of all extending Ownership Groups at such time; provided, however, that RCFC shall not be permitted to request such reallocation after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event; provided, further, that such reallocation shall be effected by the assignment by the non-extending Ownership Groups of their respective outstanding portions of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount and rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.04 hereof;


 


(ii) obtain a financial institution or institutions to whom the non-extending Ownership Groups shall assign their respective outstanding portions of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount and rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.04 hereof; or


 




  





12











  






 


(iii) terminate this Agreement and the obligations of the Purchasers to make Advances.


 


If a financial institution or institutions accept an assignment or assignments from the non-extending Ownership Groups as provided in subparagraph (ii) above on or before the then current Expiration Date, such Expiration Date shall be extended to a date no later than 364 days following such Expiration Date.  No extending Ownership Group shall be required to assume any commitment of any non-extending Ownership Group unless such extending Ownership Group agrees in writing to assume such commitment.  If the extending Ownership Groups do not accept the reallocation of the Group Funding Limit of the non-extending Ownership Groups or the non-extending Ownership Groups fail to assign their respective outstanding portions of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount and rights and obligations under this Agreement, as provided in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, respectively, on or prior to the then current Expiration Date, such Expiration Date shall not be extended.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of any such extension, or non-extension, of the Expiration Date.


 


Section 2.04 Reduction or Increase of Series 2010-3 Maximum Invested Amount or Group Funding Limits; Decreases.


 


(a) RCFC may reduce in whole or in part the Series 2010-3 Maximum Invested Amount or the unused Group Funding Limits of the Ownership Groups (but not below the then outstanding Series 2010-3 Invested Amount) by giving the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, at least three (3) Business Days before such reduction is to take place; provided, however, that any partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or any integral multiples of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof.  Any such reduction in the Series 2010-3 Maximum Invested Amount or unused Group Funding Limits shall be permanent unless a subsequent increase in the Series 2010-3 Maximum Invested Amount or Group Funding Limits is made in accordance with the terms hereof.  Reductions of the respective Group Funding Limits shall be made on a pro rata basis (calculated as set forth in the preceding sentence).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Schedules II and III of this Agreement shall be deemed amended, modified or changed as necessary to give effect to any such agreed reductions (and RCFC and the Administrative Agent may revise Schedules II and III of this Agreement as necessary to reflect any such agreed reductions).


 


(b) RCFC may request an increase in the Series 2010-3 Maximum Invested Amount and a pro rata increase in the Group Funding Limits (based on the then-current Applicable Pro Rata Share of each Ownership Group) by written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent at least thirty (30) days before the date on which such increase is requested to become effective.  If one or more of the Managing Agents do not consent to such requested increase, the related Ownership Groups’ aggregate Applicable Pro Rata Share of the requested increase amount (the “Reoffered Amount”) shall be reoffered to the Managing Agents that consented to such requested increase (the “Consenting Managing Agents”).  


 




  





13











  






 


The Reoffered Amount (or the portion thereof that the Consenting Managing Agents agree to add to their respective Group Funding Limits) shall be allocated pro rata among the related Consenting Managing Agents’ Ownership Groups unless otherwise agreed by each Consenting Managing Agent.  No such increase shall take effect with respect to an Ownership Group unless the Managing Agent for such Ownership Group consents in writing thereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Schedules II and III of this Agreement shall be deemed amended, modified or changed as necessary to give effect to any such agreed increases (and RCFC and the Administrative Agent may revise Schedules II and III of this Agreement as necessary to reflect any such agreed increases).


 


(c) Whenever the Series 2010-3 Enhancement Amount is less than the Series 2010-3 Minimum Enhancement Amount or an Asset Amount Deficiency exists, then, on the Payment Date immediately following its discovery of such deficiency, RCFC shall decrease the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount as required under Section 4A.3(a) of the Series 2010-3 Supplement and any corresponding payment shall be applied to the Series 2010-3 Notes as provided therein.


 


(d) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto to the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and the Trustee in writing, RCFC may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4A.3(b) of the Series 2010-3 Supplement and any corresponding payment shall be applied to the Series 2010-3 Notes as provided therein.


 


Section 2.05 Calculation of Series 2010-3 Interest Amount, Fees.


 


(a) On each Determination Date, each Managing Agent (i) shall calculate the portion of the Series 2010-3 Interest Amount accrued with respect to its Series 2010-3 Note for the next Payment Date and (ii) shall notify the Master Servicer and RCFC of the same in writing.


 


(b) RCFC agrees to pay (through instruction to the Trustee) on each Payment Date, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Series 2010-3 Supplement, the portion of the Series 2010-3 Interest Amount due and payable in respect of the Series 2010-3 Note held by the Managing Agent for each Ownership Group including all amounts payable by RCFC pursuant to the Fee Letters (including the Facility Fee) and any other amounts payable to any other Person pursuant to the Fee Letters (including the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter).

(a) On each Advance Date, each Managing Agent shall notify the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and RCFC as to the Purchasers in the related Ownership Group that made Advances on such Advance Date, including the amounts advanced by each.


 


(b) Not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Determination Date, each Managing Agent shall notify the Master Servicer and RCFC as to the Series 2010-3 Note Rate for all Series 2010-3 Tranche Periods funded by such Managing Agent’s Ownership Group (with, if requested by RCFC, a breakdown of the calculation thereof in respect of the applicable Base Rates, CP Rates, Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rates and Eurodollar Rates), applicable on each day during the period beginning on the Determination Date immediately preceding such Determination Date and ending on the day immediately preceding such Determination Date to each Purchaser in its Ownership Group, and all amounts payable to such Managing Agent and its Ownership Group on the next Payment Date.  The Managing Agent for the Ownership Group for each Conduit Purchaser shall allocate the portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount of such Conduit Purchaser to CP Tranche Periods or, in the case of the JPMorgan Ownership Group, Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate Tranche Periods, in accordance with the definition thereof in the Series 2010-3 Supplement; provided, that if, after the occurrence of a CP Disruption Event or otherwise, the Committed Purchasers in any Ownership Group are funding or maintaining all or any portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount of such Ownership Group, such portions of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount shall be allocated to the Series 2010-3 Base Rate Tranche, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify RCFC of such allocation.  RCFC may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the related Managing Agent, request that such portions of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount allocated to the Series 2010-3 Base Rate Tranche be allocated to the Series 2010-3 Eurodollar Rate Tranche and that the interest rate applicable thereto be the Eurodollar Rate; provided, that no Eurodollar Tranche Period may end subsequent to the Series 2010-3 Expected Final Payment Date.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, any Eurodollar Tranche Period may be terminated at the election of the related Managing Agent by notice to RCFC and the Master Servicer, and upon such election the Advances in respect of which interest was calculated by reference to such terminated Eurodollar Tranche Period shall be converted to Series 2010-3 Base Rate Tranches, Series 2010-3 CP Tranches, or, in the case of the JPMorgan Ownership Group, Series 2010-3 Daily/30 Day Tranches, until payment in full of the Series 2010-3 Notes.


 


(c) At the Closing, the Managing Agent for the RBS Ownership Group shall convert all of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount of such Ownership Group that is being funded or maintained as Series 2010-3 CP Tranche to a Series 2010-3 Eurodollar Tranche.


 


If any portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount is funded or maintained at the Eurodollar Rate, RCFC may select the Eurodollar Tranche Period that applies with respect to such portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount.  


 




  





15











  






 


If RCFC shall fail to select such Eurodollar Tranche Period at least three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then applicable Eurodollar Tranche Period and the related portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount is to continue to be funded at the Eurodollar Rate, then the related Managing Agent shall select the Eurodollar Tranche Period that applies with respect to such portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount and shall notify RCFC, the Master Servicer and the Trustee thereof.


 


(d) Any Managing Agent may exercise a Liquidity Put with respect to any request for Advance or any existing Advance funded by a Conduit Purchaser at any time in its sole discretion.  If any Managing Agent exercises a Liquidity Put with respect to any request for Advance or any existing Advance funded by a Conduit Purchaser, such Managing Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Master Servicer and RCFC of such possibility.  A Managing Agent’s failure to so notify shall not in any way prevent the exercise of a Liquidity Put.  In any event, promptly (but in no event more than one Business Day) after the occurrence of a Liquidity Put or a CP Disruption Event, each applicable Managing Agent shall notify the Master Servicer and RCFC as to the occurrence of such Liquidity Put or CP Disruption Event.


 


Section 2.07 Increased Capital Costs.


 


(a) If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person reasonably determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder or the Advances made by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person to the related Managing Agent and RCFC, RCFC shall, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt thereof, pay to such Managing Agent and such Managing Agent shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return.  In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions.


 


(b) Any demand for payment of increased costs pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall include a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of such increased costs and specifying the basis therefor and such other information as may be reasonably requested by RCFC.  In the absence of manifest error, such certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.  Each Affected Person shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect upon RCFC of any such increased costs or capital requirements; provided, that it shall not be obligated to take any action that it determines would be disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its policies.

(c) This Section 2.07 shall not be interpreted or construed to provide indemnification or compensation for reserves or reserve requirements in respect of Eurocurrency liabilities to the extent otherwise covered by the inclusion of reserves or reserve requirements in the definition of Eurodollar Rate.


 


Section 2.08 Eurodollar or Daily/30 Day LIBOR Lending Unlawful.  If a Purchaser shall reasonably determine and notify the Administrative Agent and the related Managing Agent and RCFC (which determination shall, upon such notice, be conclusive and binding on RCFC absent manifest error) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule or regulation after the date hereof makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts after the date hereof that it is unlawful, for any such Purchaser to make, continue, or maintain any Advance as, or to convert any such Advance into, the Series 2010-3 Eurodollar Tranche or the Series 2010-3 Daily/30 Day Tranche, the obligation of such Person to make, continue or maintain or convert any Advance as a part of the Series 2010-3 Eurodollar Tranche or the Series 2010-3 Daily/30 Day Tranche shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Person shall notify the related Managing Agent and RCFC that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and such Ownership Group shall immediately convert all such Advances of any such Purchaser into a Series 2010-3 Base Rate Tranche at the end of the then current Eurodollar Tranche Periods or Daily/30 day LIBOR Rate Tranche Periods, as applicable, with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.


 


Section 2.09 Deposits Unavailable.  If a Purchaser shall have reasonably determined that:


 


(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Eurodollar Tranche Period or Daily/30 day LIBOR Rate Tranche Period are not available to all related Reference Lenders in the relevant market;


 


(b) by reason of circumstances affecting all related Reference Lenders’ relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to Advances made, continued or maintained at the Eurodollar Rate or Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate; or


 


(c) such Purchaser has notified the related Managing Agent and RCFC that, with respect to any interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder to an Advance under the Series 2010-3 Eurodollar Tranche or Series 2010-3 Daily/30 Day Tranche, the Eurodollar Tranche Period or Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate Tranche Period, as applicable, for which has not then commenced, such interest rate will not adequately reflect the cost to such Purchaser of making, funding, agreeing to make or fund or maintaining such Advance for such Eurodollar Tranche Period or Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate Tranche Period, as applicable,


 


then, upon notice from such Purchaser to such Managing Agent and RCFC, the obligations of such Purchaser to make or continue any Advance as, or to convert any Advances into, part of the Series 2010-3 Eurodollar Tranche or Series 2010-3 Daily/30 Day Tranche shall forthwith be suspended until such Managing Agent shall notify RCFC

Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on RCFC.


 


Section 2.12 Taxes.  All payments by RCFC of principal of, and interest on, the Series 2010-3 Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) to or on behalf of any Affected Person shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (w) net income, franchise or similar taxes (including branch profits taxes or alternative minimum tax) imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced by, this Agreement), (x) any United States backup withholding tax and (y) with respect to any Affected Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (“Foreign Affected Person”), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person at the time the Foreign Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from RCFC with respect to withholding tax (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”).


 


Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from RCFC, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Taxes and RCFC will promptly upon receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Taxes pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as are necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.


 




  





19











  






 


If RCFC fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Affected Person or its agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, RCFC shall indemnify the Affected Person and its agent for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agent as a result of any such failure.  For purposes of this Section 2.12, any payment made by RCFC to an agent of an Affected Person shall be deemed a payment made by RCFC directly to such Affected Person.


 


Upon the request of RCFC, each Foreign Affected Person shall execute and deliver to RCFC, prior to the initial due date of any payments to it under the Series 2010-3 Notes and hereunder and to the extent permissible under then current law, and on or about the first scheduled payment date in each calendar year thereafter, one or more (as RCFC may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-9, or successor applicable forms, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Foreign Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes.  Each Foreign Affected Person shall (and shall cause other persons acting on its behalf to) take any action (including entering into any agreement with the Internal Revenue Service) and comply with any information gathering and reporting requirements, in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum available exemption from any U.S. federal withholding taxes that is available to payments received by or on behalf of such Foreign Affected Person. RCFC shall not, however, be required to pay any increased amount under this Section 2.12 to any Affected Person that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States if such Affected Person fails to comply with the requirements set forth in this paragraph.


 


If the Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12, it shall pay over such refund to RCFC (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that RCFC, upon the request of the Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to RCFC (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.12 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to RCFC or any other Person.


 


Section 2.13 Indenture Carrying Charges.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any amounts payable by RCFC under Sections 2.07, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and Article X shall constitute Carrying Charges within the meaning of the Series 2010-3 Supplement.

Each of the Purchaser Parties that is purchasing or has purchased, as applicable, Series 2010-3 Notes or an interest therein (a) from RCFC is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act and (b) from another Purchaser Party is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act.  Each Purchaser Party that is purchasing or has purchased, as applicable, Series 2010-3 Notes or an interest therein is purchasing the Series 2010-3 Notes for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribution, subject, nevertheless, to the understanding that the disposition of its property shall at all times be and remain within its control and be in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.01.


 


Each Purchaser Party understands that the offering and sale of the Series 2010-3 Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and have not and will not be registered or qualified under any applicable “blue sky” or state securities law, and that the offering and sale of the Series 2010-3 Notes have not been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to the Commission or any other Governmental Authority.

Each Committed Purchaser severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agent of such Committed Purchaser’s Ownership Group (to the extent not reimbursed by RCFC or DTAG) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Series Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent under this Agreement or any other Series Document; provided, that (i) no Committed Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting or arising from the Administrative Agent’s or such Managing Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) no Committed Purchaser shall be liable for any amount in respect of any compromise or settlement of any of the foregoing unless such compromise or settlement is approved by such Purchaser.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Committed Purchaser agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, and the Managing Agent of such Committed Purchaser’s Ownership Group, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, provided, that no Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent in defending itself against any claim alleging the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent to the extent such gross negligence or willful misconduct is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.


 


Section 11.05 Advance Decision.  Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and to purchase an interest in the Series 2010-3 Notes.  Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any Managing Agent or its Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any related agreement, instrument or other document.


 


Section 11.06 Successor Agents.  The Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent may resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days’ written notice thereof to the Purchasers, RCFC, the Master Servicer and the Trustee.  The Master Servicer, with or without cause, upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers, RCFC and the Trustee, may remove and discharge the Administrative Agent (or any successor administrative agent thereafter appointed) from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, and such Managing Agent’s Ownership Group shall have the right to appoint a successor Managing Agent, in each case as approved by RCFC (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If no successor Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, within sixty days after the Administrative Agent’s or Managing Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or receipt of notice of termination, then the Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as the case may be, may appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Managing Agent.

If such successor Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as the case may be, is not an Affiliate of the resigning or terminated Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as the case may be, such successor Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as the case may be, shall be subject to RCFC’s prior written approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Managing Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as the case may be, such successor Administrative Agent or Managing Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or terminated Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring or terminated Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as the case may be, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent hereunder as Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement.


 


ARTICLE XII.


MISCELLANEOUS


 


Section 12.01 Amendments.  No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Master Servicer, RCFC, the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent, each Conduit Purchaser and each Committed Purchaser, and in the case of any material amendments, receipt of written confirmation from each rating agency then rating the Series 2010-3 Notes that such amendment will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings in respect of the Series 2010-3 Notes or the Commercial Paper, as applicable; provided, however, that, subject to any provision of the Base Indenture or the Series 2010-3 Supplement requiring the consent of each affected Noteholder or of a higher percentage of Noteholders, any amendment hereto that does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Conduit Purchasers or the Committed Purchasers (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be based on an Officer’s Certificate) issued to each Managing Agent by a law firm of nationally recognized standing) shall only require (i) the consent of the Series 2010-3 Required Noteholders, and (ii) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.  Any such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  RCFC shall provide Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services with written notice of any amendment to this Agreement.







Section 12.02 Notices.


 


(a)           Any instruction, notice or communication provided for hereunder is duly given if in writing and delivered in person or mailed by first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telecopier or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to the other’s address set forth in Schedule I hereto or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto.  All notices to the Trustee shall be made in accordance with Section 12.1 of the Base Indenture, and all notices to the Rating Agencies shall be made in accordance with Section 8.9 of the Series 2010-3 Supplement.


 




  





41











  






 


(b)           Any notice (i) given in person shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice, (ii) given by first class mail shall be deemed given five (5) days after the date that such notice is mailed, (iii) delivered by telecopier shall be deemed given on the date of delivery of such notice, and (iv) delivered by overnight air courier shall be deemed delivered one Business Day after the date that such notice is delivered to such overnight courier.  In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.


 


(c)           In any case where notice to a Managing Agent is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Managing Agent shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Managing Agents, and any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.  Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.


 


Section 12.03 No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.


 


Section 12.04 Binding Effect; Assignability.


 


(a) Subject to clauses (b) through (i) of this Section 12.04, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent Holders of the Series 2010-3 Notes) subject, in the case of the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents, to Section 11.06; provided, however, that neither RCFC nor DTAG shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Managing Agents; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent RCFC from assigning its rights to the Trustee under the Base Indenture and the Series 2010-3 Supplement; provided, further, that none of the Purchaser Parties may transfer, pledge, assign, sell participations in or otherwise encumber its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein except as permitted under this Section 12.04.  Nothing expressed herein is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the Persons referred to in the preceding sentence any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement.


 




  





42











  






 


(b) With the consent of RCFC (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), each Committed Purchaser party to this Agreement may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2010-3 Notes and any other Related Documents to any financial institution; provided, that the consent of RCFC to any such assignment shall not be required (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event with respect to the Series 2010-3 Notes or (ii) if the applicable assignee is an Affiliate of the assigning Committed Purchaser that is a financial institution; provided, that, no Committed Purchaser shall be permitted to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the related Series 2010-3 Notes to any Ineligible Assignee/Participant.  The parties to each such permitted assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies thereof to the Managing Agents and RCFC).  From and after the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (i) the assigning Committed Purchaser shall be relieved of its rights and obligations hereunder to the extent so assigned and (ii) Schedules I, II and III shall be deemed amended, modified or changed as necessary to give effect to the terms of such assignment (and RCFC and the Administrative Agent may revise Schedules I, II and III of this Agreement as necessary to reflect the terms of any such assignment).  In connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) to a Committed Purchaser part of a different Ownership Group, the acquiring Committed Purchaser and its related Managing Agent shall also execute and deliver an Addendum to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies thereof to the Managing Agents and RCFC).  An assignment by a Committed Purchaser part of an Ownership Group that includes a Conduit Purchaser to an Ownership Group that does not include a Conduit Purchaser may be made pursuant to this Section 12.04(b); provided, that immediately prior to such assignment each Conduit Purchaser part of the assigning Ownership Group shall be deemed to have assigned all of its rights and obligations in the Series 2010-3 Notes (and its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Related Documents) in respect of such assigned interest to its related Committed Purchaser pursuant to Section 12.04(f).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any assignment by a Committed Purchaser to a different Ownership Group that includes a Conduit Purchaser shall be made pursuant to Section 12.04(d), and not this Section 12.04(b).


 


(c) Each Conduit Purchaser party to this Agreement may assign all or a portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount with respect to such Conduit Purchaser and its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2010-3 Notes and any other Related Documents to which it is a party (or otherwise to which it has rights) to a Conduit Assignee with respect to such Conduit Purchaser without the prior written consent of RCFC.  The parties to each such permitted assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies thereof to the Managing Agents and RCFC).  Upon such assignment by a Conduit Purchaser to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Purchaser, 


 




  





43











  






 


(ii) the related administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Managing Agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to Managing Agents hereunder or under the other Related Documents, including serving as Holder of the Series 2010-3 Note corresponding to the portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount so assigned, (iii) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Purchaser’s obligations, if any, and shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Conduit Purchaser, in each case, hereunder, under the Series 2010-3 Indenture and under any other Related Document with respect to such portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount, and such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from such obligations and no longer have the benefit of such rights and protections (except such rights and protections that by their terms survive such assignment), (iv) all distributions in respect of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Purchaser shall be made to the applicable Managing Agent on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (v) if requested by the Managing Agent with respect to such Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Managing Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing, and (vi) Schedules I, II and III shall be deemed amended, modified or changed as necessary to give effect to the terms of such assignment (and RCFC and the Administrative Agent may revise Schedules I, II and III of this Agreement as necessary to reflect the terms of any such assignment).  No assignment by any Conduit Purchaser to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount with respect to such Conduit Purchaser shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Committed Purchasers in the same Ownership Group as such Conduit Purchaser to fund any Increase not funded by such Conduit Purchaser or such Conduit Assignee.


 


(d) Any Conduit Purchaser and the Committed Purchaser with respect to such Conduit Purchaser (or, with respect to any Ownership Group without a Conduit Purchaser, the related Committed Purchaser) may at any time sell all or any part (but the same percentage) of their respective (or, with respect to an Ownership Group without a Conduit Purchaser, its) rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Series 2010-3 Notes, with the prior written consent of RCFC (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to an Ownership Group with respect to which each acquiring Conduit Purchaser is a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose commercial paper has ratings of at least “A-2” from Standard & Poor’s and “P2” from Moody’s, and that includes one or more financial institutions providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (each, an “Acquiring Ownership Group”) pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and an Addendum, executed by such Acquiring Ownership Group (including each Conduit Purchaser and Committed Purchaser with respect to such Acquiring Ownership Group), the Managing Agent with respect to such Acquiring Ownership Group, such assigning Conduit Purchaser (if any) and the Committed Purchasers with respect to such assigning Ownership Group, the Managing Agent with respect to such assigning Ownership Group and RCFC and delivered to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies thereof to the Managing Agents and RCFC); 


 




  





44











  






 


provided that the consent of RCFC to any such assignment shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event with respect to the Series 2010-3 Notes and; provided, further, that it shall not be considered unreasonable for RCFC to withhold its consent to an assignment to a potential Acquiring Ownership Group if the affiliated commercial paper conduit has ratings of at least “A-2” from Standard & Poor’s and “P2” from Moody’s but does not have ratings of at least “A-1” from Standard & Poor’s and “P1” from Moody’s and such assignment would result in a material increase in RCFC’s costs of financing with respect to the applicable Series 2010-3 Notes.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Committed Purchaser shall at any time be permitted to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the related Series 2010-3 Notes to any Ineligible Assignee/Participant.  From and after the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and such Addendum, Schedules I, II and III shall be deemed amended, modified or changed as necessary to give effect to the terms of such assignment (and RCFC and the Administrative Agent may revise Schedules I, II and III of this Agreement as necessary to reflect the terms of any such assignment).


 


(e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more Program Support Providers (or to its related Committed Purchaser) a participating interest in or lien on, or otherwise transfer and assign to one or more Program Support Providers (or to its related Committed Purchaser), such Conduit Purchaser’s interests in the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount made hereunder and such Program Support Provider (or such Committed Purchaser, as the case may be), with respect to its participating or assigned interest, shall be entitled to the benefits in respect of the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount granted to such Conduit Purchaser under this Agreement.


 


(f) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Conduit Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of RCFC, transfer and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations in the Series 2010-3 Notes (and its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Related Documents) to its related Committed Purchaser.  Furthermore, each Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant a security interest in and lien on all or any portion of its interests under this Agreement, the Series 2010-3 Notes and all Related Documents to (i) its related Committed Purchaser, (ii) its Managing Agent, (iii) any Program Support Provider who, at any time now or in the future, provides program liquidity or credit enhancement, including without limitation, an insurance policy, for such Conduit Purchaser relating to such Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper or the Series 2010-3 Notes, (iv) any other Person who, at any time now or in the future, provides liquidity or credit enhancement for the Conduit Purchasers, including without limitation, an insurance policy relating to such Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper or the Series 2010-3 Notes or (v) any collateral trustee or collateral agent for any of the foregoing; 


 




  





45











  






 


provided, however, any such security interest or lien shall be released upon assignment of its rights and obligations in respect of the Series 2010-3 Notes to its related Committed Purchaser.  Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement, each Committed Purchaser may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Series 2010-3 Notes and the Related Documents in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any similar foreign entity.   No assignment by any Conduit Purchaser to any of the foregoing Persons of all or any portion of its interest in the Series 2010-3 Invested Amount or Series 2010-3 Notes with respect to such Conduit Purchaser shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Committed Purchasers in the same Ownership Group as such Conduit Purchaser to fund any Increase not funded by such Conduit Purchaser or such other Persons.


 


(g) Any Committed Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Series 2010-3 Notes pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to such Committed Purchaser and the related Participant; provided, that no Committed Purchaser shall be permitted to sell any participating interest in all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the related Series 2010-3 Notes to any Ineligible Assignee/Participant.  Notwithstanding any such sale by a Committed Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, (i)(x) such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (y) such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and (z) RCFC, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and (ii) no Committed Purchaser shall sell any participating interest under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement, the Base Indenture, the Series 2010-3 Supplement or any Related Document, except to the extent that the approval of such amendment, consent or waiver requires the consent of each affected Noteholder under Section 11.2 of the Base Indenture.  RCFC also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.07, 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 hereof; provided, however, that all amounts payable by RCFC to any such Participant shall be limited to the amounts which would have been payable to the Committed Purchaser selling such participating interest had such interest not been sold and, with respect to amounts due pursuant to Section 2.12, only to the extent such Participant shall have complied with the provisions of Section 2.12 as if such Participant were a Committed Purchaser.


 


(h) RCFC acknowledges that each Conduit Purchaser may, without any consent, assign as collateral its rights under this Agreement to the collateral agent for such Conduit Purchaser for the benefit of the secured parties, if any, under such Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper program.


 




  





46











  






 


(i) Each Managing Agent shall remain the Holder of its respective Series 2010-3 Note until such Series 2010-3 Note is transferred in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.


 


Section 12.05 Provision of Documents and Information.  RCFC acknowledges and agrees that the Conduit Purchasers, the Committed Purchasers, the Managing Agents and Administrative Agent are permitted, subject to Section 12.17, to provide to the Program Support Providers, permitted assignees and participants, the placement agents for their respective Commercial Paper, the rating agencies with respect to such Commercial Paper and other liquidity and credit providers under their respective Commercial Paper programs, opinions, certificates, documents and other information relating to RCFC, DTAG and the Group VII Collateral delivered to the Conduit Purchasers, the Committed Purchasers, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement.


 


Section 12.06 GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).


 


Section 12.07 No Proceedings.


 


(a) Each party hereto agrees that so long as any Commercial Paper or other senior indebtedness of a Conduit Purchaser shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any Commercial Paper or other senior indebtedness of a Conduit Purchaser shall have been outstanding, it shall not file, or join in the filing of, or solicit or encourage any Person to file, a petition against such Conduit Purchaser under the Bankruptcy Code, or commence or join in, or solicit or encourage any Person to commence or join in, the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, liquidation or other similar proceeding against such Conduit Purchaser.  The provisions of this Section 12.07(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


 


(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of any Series 2010-3 Notes issued by RCFC pursuant to the Base Indenture, it will not institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, RCFC, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, all as more particularly set forth in Section 12.15 of the Base Indenture and subject to any retained rights set forth therein; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12.07(b) shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from RCFC pursuant to this Agreement or the Series 2010-3 Indenture.  


 




  





47











  






 


If any party hereto takes action in violation of this Section 12.07(b), RCFC agrees that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by any such Person against RCFC or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert.  The provisions of this Section 12.07(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any party hereto in assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving RCFC.


 


Section 12.08 Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

The obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement, or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered by or issued by such Purchaser or any officer thereof are solely the corporate or partnership obligations of such Purchaser.

Section 12.10 Limited Recourse.  The obligations of RCFC under this Agreement and the other Series Documents to which it is a party are solely the corporate obligations of RCFC.  No recourse shall be had for the payment of any fee or other obligation or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Series Documents or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered or issued by RCFC or by any stockholder, officer, director or employee thereof in connection herewith or therewith, against any stockholder, employee, officer or director of RCFC.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees that amounts owed to them by RCFC under the Series Documents to which RCFC is a party shall be payable solely from amounts that become available for payment pursuant to the Series 2010-3 Indenture.


 


Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) RCFC shall have no liability for any obligation of DTAG or for any claim against DTAG, and (ii) DTAG shall have no liability for any obligation of RCFC or for any claim against RCFC.


 


Section 12.11 Term; Survival.


 


(a) This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as all amounts payable with respect to the Series 2010-3 Notes shall have been paid in full, at which time this Agreement shall terminate except as otherwise provided in Section 12.11(b).


 




  





48











  






 


(b) All covenants and indemnification contained in Article X and Sections 12.07, 12.09 and 12.10 of this Agreement shall survive the sale, transfer or repayment of the Series 2010-3 Notes.

Each party to this Agreement (a) acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that, for accounting purposes and for all federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Series 2010-3 Notes will be treated as evidence of indebtedness issued by RCFC, (b) agrees to treat the Series 2010-3 Notes for all such purposes as indebtedness and (c) agrees that the provisions of the Related Documents shall be construed to further these intentions.


 


Section 12.13 Severability; Series 2010-3 Note Rate Limitation.


 


(a) If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Series 2010-3 Notes.


 


(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the other Series Documents or any Series 2010-3 Note to the contrary, if at any time the Series 2010-3 Note Rate with respect to a Series 2010-3 Note, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Series 2010-3 Note, under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Series 2010-3 Noteholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the other Series Documents or such Series 2010-3 Note, then the Series 2010-3 Note Rate, together with all Charges payable in respect of such Series 2010-3 Note, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the Series 2010-3 Note Rate and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Series 2010-3 Note, but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section (or the proviso to the definition of the Series 2010-3 Note Rate in the Series 2010-3 Supplement), shall be cumulated and such cumulated amounts shall be payable to the applicable Series 2010-3 Noteholder in later periods to the extent such payment would not cause the then current Series 2010-3 Note Rate and then current Charges together with such cumulated amounts to exceed the Maximum Rate until such cumulated amount shall have been received by such Series 2010-3 Noteholder.

Each of the parties to this Assignment and Assumption Agreement agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the written request of any other party, it will execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as such other party may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement.
