MASTER EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This AMENDED
AND RESTATED MASTER EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered
into as of April 13, 2006, by and among, Car for a Car, Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the “QI” or the “Intermediary”), Alamo Financing
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Alamo LP” or the “Exchangor”)
and Vanguard Car Rental USA Inc., as servicer (“Vanguard” or the “Servicer”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the
Exchangor owns Vehicles that are held for productive use in connection with its
business operations;

 

WHEREAS, the
Exchangor, as part of its business operations, desires to exchange pursuant to
one or more Master Exchanges (as defined herein) certain Vehicles used in its business
for other vehicles that are like-kind to the Relinquished Property to be held
for productive use in connection with its business operations;

 

WHEREAS, the
Relinquished Property will be sold to various buyers (each a “Buyer”)
from time to time, including Manufacturers and purchasers at auctions;

 

WHEREAS, the
Replacement Property will be purchased from various Manufacturers and vehicle
dealers (each a “Seller”) from time to time;

 

WHEREAS, it is
the intention of the parties that each Master Exchange of Relinquished Property
for Replacement Property, and the transactions related thereto, be effectuated
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the
Exchangor and the QI desire and intend that the Master Exchanges accomplished
by the Exchangor and the QI under this Agreement (the “LKE Program”)
satisfy the requirements of a “like kind exchange program” pursuant to Section
3.02 of Revenue Procedure 2003-39;

 

WHEREAS, the
Exchangor desires to effectuate each Master Exchange in a manner that will qualify
as a like-kind exchange within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the treasury
regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) promulgated thereunder (and any
applicable corresponding provisions of state tax legislation) pursuant to one
or more of the “safe harbors” described in Section 1.1031(k)-1(g) of the
Treasury Regulations and Revenue Procedure 2003-39;

 

WHEREAS, the
QI is willing to act as a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of Section
1031 of the Code and Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) of the Treasury Regulations
(such entity, a “Qualified Intermediary”) in order to facilitate Master
Exchanges of Relinquished Property for Replacement Property;

 

 

WHEREAS, it is
the intention of the parties hereto that, subject to the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, the Exchangor assign to the QI, acting as the Exchangor’s
Qualified Intermediary, the Exchangor’s Rights with respect to each disposition
of Relinquished Property and each acquisition of Replacement Property pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, it is
the intention of the parties hereto that, as provided in, and for purposes of,
Sections 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iv) and (v) of the Treasury Regulations, the QI be
considered to have acquired the Relinquished Property from the Exchangor and
transferred it to the applicable Buyer where in fact the Exchangor transfers
the Relinquished Property directly to such Buyer;

 

WHEREAS, it is
the intention of the parties hereto that, as provided in, and for purposes of,
Sections 1.1031(k)-(1)(g)(4)(iv) and (v) of the Treasury Regulations, the QI be
considered to have acquired the Replacement Property from the Seller and
transferred such Replacement Property to the Exchangor where in fact the Exchangor
acquires such Replacement Property directly from such Seller;

 

WHEREAS, it is
the intention of the parties to maintain a Master Exchange Account and one or
more Joint Collection Accounts and Joint Disbursement Accounts so that for
purposes of the Treasury Regulations the Exchangor will not be determined to be
in actual or constructive receipt of proceeds (including any earnings thereon)
from the disposition of any Relinquished Property;

 

WHEREAS, it is
the intention of the parties hereto that, as provided in Section 1.1031(b)-1(c)
of the Treasury Regulations, consideration received by the Exchangor, in the
form of relief of liabilities (or a transfer subject to a liability), shall be
offset against consideration given by the Exchangor in the form of cash, an
assumption of liabilities, or a receipt of property subject to a liability;

 

WHEREAS, the
Exchangor and the QI desire and intend this Agreement to satisfy the
requirement of a written agreement referred to in Section
1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iii)(B) of the Treasury Regulations with respect to the
applicable Relinquished Property and the applicable Replacement Property;

 

WHEREAS, the
Intermediary, Alamo LP and Vanguard are parties to a Master Exchange Agreement,
dated as of March 4, 2005 (amended to date, the “Existing Master Exchange
Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the
parties to the Existing Master Exchange Agreement desire to amend and restate
the Existing Master Exchange Agreement in it entirety, among other things, to
provide for the ability of the QI to sell receivables and related rights it
acquires upon the return of Relinquished Vehicles to a Manufacturer, or to
pledge such receivables and related rights as security for financing for the
purchase of Replacement Property.

The Exchangor and the QI shall enter into the Escrow Agreement with JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., pursuant to which the Exchangor and the QI shall maintain the
Master Exchange Account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. One or more Joint
Collection Accounts have been established and will be maintained by the Master
Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(I) of the Master
Collateral Agency Agreement, in the name of “Citibank, N.A., as Master
Collateral Agent, and Car for a Car, Corp., as Qualified Intermediary, for
Alamo Financing L.P.” and shall be operated in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the Master Collateral Agency Agreement. Initially, the Joint
Collection Accounts will be maintained at Citibank N.A. One or more Joint
Disbursement Accounts have been or will be established in the name of Alamo LP
and Car for a Car, Corp., as Qualified Intermediary for Alamo LP, with respect
to each Lender. The Joint Disbursement Accounts with respect to each Lender are
specified in Schedule B attached hereto (as such Schedule B may
from time to time be updated by Vanguard with the prior written consent of the
related Lender).

 

(a)           The
Joint Collection Accounts are intended to facilitate the orderly and efficient
collection of proceeds from the disposition of the Relinquished Property,
including the collection of all Relinquished Property Proceeds, and to allow
for the identification and separation of funds that are Relinquished Property
Proceeds from funds that are Non-Qualified Funds. All proceeds received from
(i) Buyers by or on behalf of

 

15

 

the QI, (ii)
the Exchangor in respect of sales of Relinquished Property, (iii) any
Manufacturer Receivables Purchaser and (iv) advances under any Master Exchange
Financing Agreement, in each case shall be immediately deposited in a Joint
Collection Account. The QI hereby covenants and agrees that it will not create,
incur or assume (and will not permit to exist any such created, incurred or
assumed) lien upon a Joint Collection Account or any funds on deposit therein; provided
that the foregoing shall not prevent the QI (i) from entering into any Master
Exchange Financing Agreement in accordance with Section 2.12 and the other
requirements hereof, which grants a lien to a Master Exchange Lender on funds
on deposit in the Joint Collection Account representing proceeds of Master
Exchanged Vehicle Repurchase Rights that have been pledged to such Master
Exchange Lender or (ii) entering into a Manufacturer Receivables Transfer
Agreement in accordance with Section 2.13 hereof and the other
requirements hereof, that provides for the sale of Master Exchanged Vehicle
Repurchase Rights to a Manufacturer Receivables Purchaser, and the deposit of
the proceeds of such sold Master Exchanged Vehicle Repurchase Rights into the
Joint Collection Account.

 

(b)           The
Master Exchange Account is intended (i) to receive all Relinquished Property
Proceeds that are not used for other qualified purposes including, but not
limited to, the payment of liabilities required to be paid in respect of
Relinquished Property and (ii) to provide Relinquished Property Proceeds to the
Joint Disbursement Accounts (to the extent of the funds in the Master Exchange
Account and funds then invested pursuant to the Escrow Agreement). Relinquished
Property Proceeds with respect to Relinquished Property transferred by Alamo LP
on deposit in the Joint Collection Accounts shall be deposited into the Master
Exchange Account to the extent, and only to the extent, that any portion of
such proceeds remain in such Joint Collection Accounts after all of the amounts
set forth in the instructions described in Section 4.2(b)(2) hereof to
be transferred from such Joint Collection Accounts to the account specified
with respect to the related Lender in Schedule A attached hereto (as
such Schedule A may from time to time be updated by Vanguard, solely
with respect to the information relating to a Lender, with the prior written
consent of such Lender) have been transferred.

 

(c)           The
Joint Disbursement Accounts are intended to facilitate the orderly and
efficient disbursement of funds to the Sellers, including the disbursement of
all funds relating to the acquisition of Replacement Property under the LKE
Program.

 

(d)           Pursuant
to the Escrow Agreement, Relinquished Property Proceeds held by the QI on
behalf of the Exchangor in the Master Exchange Account shall be invested until
such funds are used to fund a Joint Disbursement Account in order to purchase
Replacement Property. The QI hereby covenants and agrees that it will not
create, incur or assume (and will not permit to exist any such created,
incurred or assumed) lien upon the Master Exchange Account or any funds on
deposit therein; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the QI
from entering into any Master Exchange Financing Agreement in accordance with Section
2.12 and the other requirements hereof, that grants a lien to a Master
Exchange Lender on funds on deposit in the Master Exchange Account representing
proceeds of Master Exchanged Vehicle

 

16

 

Repurchase
Rights that have been pledged to such Master Exchange Lender or (ii) entering
into a Manufacturer Receivables Transfer Agreement in accordance with Section
2.13 hereof and the other requirements hereof, that provides for the sale
of Master Exchanged Vehicle Repurchase Rights to a Manufacturer Receivables
Purchaser, and the deposit of the proceeds of such sold Master Exchanged
Vehicle Repurchase Rights into the Joint Collection Account.

 

(e)           The
Exchangor shall have no right to receive, pledge, borrow, or otherwise obtain
the benefits of Relinquished Property Proceeds and earnings thereon held by the
QI; provided that the QI may enter into Master Exchange Financing
Agreements and Manufacturer Receivables Transfer Agreements in accordance with Section
2.12 and Section 2.13, respectively, and the other requirements
hereof. In addition, all Relinquished Property Proceeds (and any earnings thereon),
whether in a Joint Collection Account, a Joint Disbursement Account or the
Master Exchange Account, shall be held subject to Sections
1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(ii) and 1.1031(k)-1(g)(6) of the Treasury Regulations. Relinquished
Property Proceeds (1) first, shall be applied to pay all amounts and any
other liabilities required to be repaid with the sale proceeds of the related
Relinquished Property as provided in Sections 2.3 and 4.2(b)
hereof and (2) second, after payment of all such amounts and other
liabilities specified in clause (1) above, may be withdrawn from the
Master Exchange Account or any Joint Disbursement Account upon a Disbursement
Occurrence with respect to the related Relinquished Property. Upon any
Disbursement Occurrence, the QI shall, at such time and in satisfaction of the
QI’s remaining obligations under this Agreement as to the related Master
Exchange with respect to such Disbursement Occurrence, have the bank
maintaining the Account where the applicable funds are on deposit pay any remaining
amount relating to such Master Exchange, including without limitation
accumulated interest as to such Master Exchange in the Master Exchange Account,
to, or as directed by, the Exchangor.

and Application of Funds in Joint Collection Accounts; Proceeds from Transfer
of Relinquished Property by the QI.

 

(a)           Reports.

aggregate Relinquished Property Proceeds identified on such Business Day in
such Joint Collection Account, and (2) the amount of Non-Qualified Funds, if
any, identified on such Business Day in such Joint Collection Account.

 

(b)           Identification
of Funds. Promptly (but in no event more than seven (7) days) after the
date of the receipt of funds (the “Receipt Date”) in the Joint
Collection Accounts, the Exchangor shall: 
(1) identify any funds received on such Receipt Date in the Joint
Collection Accounts which constitute Non-Qualified Funds and allocate and apply
such funds as provided in the Master Collateral Agency Agreement; (2) initiate
on the Business Day on which the Exchangor identifies such funds proposed
Electronic Funds Transfers from the Joint Collection Accounts in order to apply
any funds in the

 

17

 

Joint
Collection Accounts as of such Business Day which have been identified as
Relinquished Property Proceeds with respect to Relinquished Property
transferred by the Exchangor hereunder in the following order:  first, transfer an amount of such
funds sufficient to repay in full all amounts payable, and other liabilities
outstanding, which were secured by such Relinquished Property under the Base
Indenture, as supplemented by the related LKE Supplements thereto, to the
Lender (with respect to which such funds represent (as determined by the
Exchangor) payments arising from its Related Vehicles and Related Master
Collateral (as determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Master Collateral Agency Agreement including, without limitation, Section
2.2 thereof)) to the account specified with respect to such Lender in Schedule
A attached hereto (as such Schedule A may from time to time be
updated by Vanguard, solely with respect to information relating to a Lender,
with the prior written consent of the related Lender), and second,
transfer to the Master Exchange Account any remaining amount of such funds; and
(3) notify the QI, the Master Collateral Agent and the Trustee of such proposed

(c)           Approval
of Certain Transfers. If upon notification to the QI of the proposed
Electronic Funds Transfers of Relinquished Property Proceeds pursuant to clause

and agree that it is the intent of the parties hereto that funds deposited into
the Master Exchange Account and funds held in accounts maintained by the Escrow
Agent shall be used solely to enable the QI to perform its obligations
hereunder to acquire Replacement Property and shall not be considered part of
the QI’s general assets nor subject to claims by the QI’s creditors (other than
a Master Exchange Lender to the extent that such funds represent proceeds of
Master Exchanged Vehicle Repurchase Rights that have been pledged to such
Master Exchange Lender pursuant to a Master Exchange Financing Agreement to the

time to time be updated by Vanguard, solely with respect to information
relating to a Lender, with the prior written consent of the related Lender), or
if no such amounts are payable, from such Joint Collection Account to the
Master Exchange Account. The QI hereby agrees that it shall not approve any
transfer of Relinquished Property Proceeds from the Joint Collection Accounts
to any account other than the Master Exchange Account or an account specified
with respect to a Lender in Schedule A attached hereto (as such Schedule
A may from time to time be updated by Vanguard, solely with respect to
information relating to a Lender, with the prior written consent of the related
Lender). The Exchangor shall provide notice to the Master Collateral Agent, the
Trustee and each Enhancement Provider of any transfer from a Joint Collection
Account to the Master Exchange Account.

purposes of executing any authorization to cause any such funds to be applied,

On each Business Day, the Exchangor shall provide the QI with a report with
respect to each Joint Disbursement Account setting forth for such day (1) the
aggregate Replacement Property Acquisition Cost expected to be disbursed from
such Joint Disbursement Account, (2) the aggregate amount to be transferred to
such Joint Disbursement Account from the Master Exchange Account, if any, to
fund such aggregate Replacement Property Acquisition Cost, (3) the amount (if

19

 

transferred to
such Joint Disbursement Account from any other source, including the proceeds
of Notes (issued under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the LKE
Supplements thereto)  to be made directly

Acquisition Cost, (4) the aggregate amount (if any) to be transferred to such
Joint Disbursement Account from any other account, to fund disbursements not
related to the LKE Program, (5) adjustments, if any, to amounts previously
funded from the Master Exchange Account, and (6) the aggregate amount to be
repaid under any Master Exchange Financing Agreement.

 

(b)           Funding
by the QI. On each Business Day, the Exchangor shall initiate a series of
proposed Electronic Funds Transfers in order to withdraw from the Master
Exchange Account and transfer to one or more Joint Disbursement Accounts on
such day amounts to fund the aggregate Replacement Property Acquisition Cost on
such day in accordance with the report delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(a)
hereof and shall notify the QI of such proposed Electronic Funds Transfers. If
upon such notification of the proposed Electronic Funds Transfers the QI

transferred from the Master Exchange Account to a Joint Disbursement Account
for the purchase of Replacement Property on any Business Day exceeds the total
amount of funds in the Master Exchange Account available for such purpose on
such Business Day, including any funds earned from the investment of funds held
in the Master Exchange Account pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the amounts to
be transferred to a Joint Disbursement Account from the Master Exchange Account
on such Business Day to fund the aggregate Replacement Property Acquisition
Cost shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall.

 

(d)           Effectuation
of Transfers. On each Business Day, the QI shall direct the Escrow Agent to
cause the bank maintaining the Master Exchange Account to cause the amounts, if
any, set forth in the instructions described in Section 4.3(b) hereof,

transferred from the Master Exchange Account to the applicable Joint
Disbursement Account.

 

(e)           Funding
by the Exchangor. In the event that the aggregate funds transferred from
the Master Exchange Account to the Joint Disbursement Accounts on any Business
Day are insufficient to fund all Replacement Property Acquisition Costs and
Non-LKE Disbursements to be made from each Joint Disbursement Account on such
day, the Exchangor may borrow funds under any Master Exchange Financing
Agreement (to the extent that funds are available thereunder), sell Master
Exchanged Vehicle

sufficient for the QI to acquire the Replacement Property. The QI shall not be
required to pay Replacement Property Acquisition Costs or make Non-LKE

Section 8.3.            Amendments.
This Agreement may be amended and supplemented only by a written instrument
duly executed by all the parties hereto and upon satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Confirmation Condition.

 

Section 8.4.            Successors
and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of each party and its successors in interest and
permitted assigns. Except as expressly otherwise allowed herein, no party may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties or

 

29

 

obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however,
that no assignment by the QI shall be effective without satisfaction of the
Rating Agency Confirmation Condition; provided  further, however,
that (1) the Exchangor may pledge all of its right, title and interest in this
Agreement to secure advances made for the purchase of vehicles and (2) the
Exchangor may assign (subject to the Rating Agency Confirmation Condition in
the case of the QI) this Agreement, without such written consent, to a
successor or surviving entity resulting from a merger or acquisition involving
substantially all of a party’s stock or assets; provided  further
that any assignment by the QI or any transfer of any interest in this Agreement
by the QI, whether by merger or acquisition or otherwise, shall only be
effective if the successor or surviving entity (x) is a bankruptcy-remote,
special purpose entity organized under the laws of any state of the United
States and is not an affiliate of Alamo LP and (y) expressly agrees in writing
to abide by the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. To secure
Alamo LP’s obligations under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the LKE
Supplements thereto, Alamo LP has pledged, assigned, conveyed, delivered,
transferred and set over to the Master Collateral Agent a security interest in
all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement, including
any amendments hereto, all monies due and to become due to Alamo LP hereunder,
whether such amounts are payable to Alamo LP from the applicable Joint
Collection Account by the QI or payable as damages for breach of this Agreement
or otherwise, and all other property paid or payable by the QI to Alamo LP
hereunder and all rights to compel performance and otherwise exercise remedies
hereunder and the QI hereby consents to such assignment. Except as provided in
this paragraph, nothing contained in this Agreement is intended, or will be
construed, to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the parties hereto
and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies
under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the QI shall be permitted, as set forth in Section 2.12
and Section 2.13, to sell and/or pledge Master Exchanged Vehicle
Repurchase Rights subject only to the requirements set forth in such sections.

 

Section 8.5.            Scope
of Master Exchange Agreement and the QI. Each of the parties hereto
acknowledges and agrees that the LKE Program is being implemented, and that the
QI is being engaged, for the sole purpose of facilitating the like-kind
exchanges of Alamo LP’s Vehicles pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The QI is acting solely in its capacity as “qualified
intermediary” on behalf of Alamo LP and each of its rights under this Agreement
or any other Related Document is derivative from Alamo LP such that the QI’s
rights, claims or interest in any Vehicle proceeds (including, without
limitation, any receivables due from a Manufacturer with respect to any
Vehicle) and all funds maintained pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement or pursuant to the LKE Program are limited to either (i) acquiring
Replacement Property, solely in its capacity as “qualified intermediary, on
behalf of Alamo LP, with such proceeds and/or funds, (ii) disbursing to, or on
behalf of, Alamo LP, such proceeds and/or funds, in each case as set forth
herein or (iii) with respect to

 

30

 

proceeds from
Master Exchanged Vehicle Repurchase Rights, repay any advances made under the
related Master Exchange Financing Agreement. Except as expressly set forth
herein, the provisions of this Agreement are not intended to affect the
relative rights of any of the parties to any of the Related Documents
including, without limitation, any of such rights in, to and under the Vehicles
(as defined in the Base Indenture and in the ARG Base Indenture), Eligible
Receivables (as defined in the Base Indenture and in the ARG Base Indenture),
any proceeds therefrom or the collateral value (as determined under the
applicable Related Documents) of the collateral supporting the outstanding
loans or securities issued under the Related Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and merely by way of illustration, the parties
hereto agree that, given the nature of this Agreement and the QI (as described
above) and the pledge of Alamo LP’s right, title and interest in, to and under
this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, it is consistent with this Agreement
and the LKE Program, when construing and interpreting provisions and defined
terms in any of the Related Documents that refer to funds which are receivable
by, due to or paid to a party other than the QI (a “Third Party”), but which
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the LKE Program are receivable by,
due to or paid to the QI, solely in its capacity as “qualified intermediary” on
behalf of Alamo LP and subject to the limitations set forth in Section
4.1(e), to interpret such references in such provisions and defined terms
as if such references expressly address and provide for the implementation of
the LKE Program and the role of the QI. Likewise, the parties hereto agree
that, given the nature of this Agreement and the QI (as described above) and
the pledge of Alamo LP’s right, title and interest in, to and under this
Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, it is consistent with this Agreement and
the LKE Program, when construing and interpreting provisions or defined terms
in any of the Related Documents that refer to the assignment or pledge of
certain rights and/or assets to Third Parties, but which pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement and the LKE Program are assigned to the QI, solely in its
capacity as “qualified intermediary” on behalf of Alamo LP and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 4.1(e), to interpret such references in
such provisions and defined terms as if such references expressly address and
provide for the implementation of the LKE Program and the role of the QI.

 

Section 8.6.            Governing
Law, Venue, Jury Trial Waiver, and Attorneys’ Fees.

 

(a)           GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. THIS
AGREEMENT AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. VENUE SHALL BE IN
ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(b)           JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THE EXCHANGOR AND
THE QI HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING

 

31

 

FROM
THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM THERETO.

 

Section 8.7.            Indebtedness.
The QI shall not assume any secured loan or other obligation on any Replacement
Property or to execute any promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness in
connection with the acquisition of any Replacement Property, including any of
the foregoing that would impose any personal liability upon the QI for
repayment of such obligation. The QI shall not execute any agreement nor
participate in any transaction which, in the reasonable opinion of the QI or
its counsel, would require the QI to engage in any unlawful or fraudulent
action.

 

Section 8.8.            Strict
Performance. The failure of any party to insist upon strict performance of
any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver
of any of its rights hereunder, provided that any provision may be
waived by the party intended to benefit therefrom by a written instrument
signed by such party.

 

Section 8.9.            Severability;
Interpretation. If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid
or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, this Agreement will, in such circumstances,
be deemed modified in such jurisdiction to the extent necessary to render
enforceable the provisions hereof, and such illegality, invalidity or
unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement comply
with the requirements for like-kind exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the
Code and the regulations thereunder and for a like-kind exchange program
pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2003-39. To the greatest extent possible, the
provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with
such intent.

 

Section 8.10.          Dates,
Descriptions, Values, and Matching. The Exchangor shall be ultimately and
solely responsible for the accuracy of any transfer dates, the Relinquished
Property and the Replacement Property descriptions, the Relinquished Property
and the Replacement Property values and/or the Relinquished Property and the
Replacement Property matching with respect to each Master Exchange performed
pursuant to its LKE Program.

 

Section 8.11.          Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party
hereto may execute any such counterpart, each of which when executed and
delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts when
taken together will constitute but one and the same instrument. The execution
of this Agreement by any party hereto will not become effective until
counterparts hereof have been executed and delivered by each other party hereto.
It will not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any counterpart
hereof to produce or account for any other counterparts.

 

Section 8.12.          Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, as supplemented by the Escrow Agreement,
constitutes the entire understanding and agreement among the parties

 

32

 

with respect
to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes and merges any prior
understandings and agreements (whether written or oral) respecting such subject
matter.

 

Section 8.13.          Electronic
Signature. In the satisfaction of their respective obligations and the
exercise of their respective rights under this Agreement and any related
documents and/or agreements, to include bills of sale, each party hereto is,
and hereby agrees to be, bound (as though duly authorized, notarized, and
sealed original signatures were affixed to a document) by any evidence of
consent, approval, authorization and/or agreement such party transmits or
causes to be transmitted by electronic means, including but not limited
to:  downloading and/or transmitting of
information via e-mail; facsimile; and the internet or similar electronic
transmission. Though in no way a pre-requisite to being so bound and obligated,
the parties hereto further agree, upon the request of any other party, to use
their respective best efforts to confirm any such electronic transmission
(other than with respect to routine consents, approvals or authorizations) by
thereafter delivering or making available to the other parties, an original
paper counterpart with an ink signature.

 

Section 8.14.          Acknowledgment
of Independent Relationship. The Exchangor and the QI mutually acknowledge
and agree that, pursuant to this Agreement, the QI will solely acquire Rights
in contracts to both the Relinquished Property and the Replacement Property in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder and that legal title to the Relinquished Property will
be directly transferred to one or more Buyers and legal title to the
Replacement Property will be directly transferred to the Exchangor. The QI and
the Exchangor desire to maintain an independent relationship, therefore, the QI
and the Exchangor hereby acknowledge that in engaging in the activities
contemplated by this Agreement, the QI is acting as a Qualified Intermediary. In
no event shall the QI or any of the QI’s directors, officers, employees, agents
or shareholders be deemed to be acting as an agent of the Exchangor (except as
expressly provided in this Agreement and the Treasury Regulations), nor shall
the QI have any fiduciary relationship to the Exchangor.

 

Section 8.15.          Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not
affect its interpretation.

 

Section 8.16.          Force
Majeure. No party to this Agreement is liable to any other party for losses
due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this
Agreement if such inability to perform is caused by, circumstances reasonably
beyond a party’s control, such as natural disasters, fire, floods, third party
strikes, failure of public utilities or telecommunications infrastructure or
any other causes reasonably beyond its control.

 

Section 8.17.          Consequential
Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no
event shall the QI or any director, officer, employee, member, shareholder or
agent of the QI be liable for, and the Exchangor releases the QI and each director,
officer, employee, member, shareholder or agent of the QI from, any and all
liability for special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any
kind whatsoever

 

33

 

(including but
not limited to lost profits) even if the QI or any director, officer, employee,
member, shareholder or agent of the QI is advised of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action. The aforesaid is not intended to and shall in
no way diminish or bar the Exchangor’s (and any of its affiliates that may be a
party to the Indemnity Agreement) obligation to indemnify the QI and other
Indemnified Parties for third party claims for such damages.

 

Section 8.18.          Investment
Losses. In no event shall the QI be liable for, and the Exchangor hereby
releases the QI from, any and all liability from any damages resulting from,
any loss of principal, interest or other earnings which may be incurred as a
result of the investment of any funds or in redeeming any investment held by the
QI in any Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow
Agreement.

 

Section 8.19.          Treasury
Regulations Disclosure Requirements. The Exchangor represents that it does
not intend to treat any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as a
reportable transaction within the meaning of Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury
Regulations, and without limiting the foregoing, will fully comply with the
filing and reporting requirements applicable to like-kind exchanges, including
any requirement in any applicable regulations or forms. In the event that the
Exchangor determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, the
Exchangor will promptly notify the QI, and the Exchangor acknowledges that in
this event any other party to this Agreement may treat the transaction as
subject to Section 301.6112-1 of the Treasury Regulations, and maintain the
investor list and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.

 

Section 8.20.          No
Petitions. (a)  Each of Alamo LP and Vanguard hereby covenants
and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all of the Notes, it will not institute against, or join any
other Person in instituting against, the QI, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding
under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States. In the
event that Alamo LP or Vanguard takes action in violation of this Section
8.20(a), the QI agrees, for the benefit of the secured parties under the
Base Indenture, as supplemented by the LKE Supplements thereto, that it shall
file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the
filing of such a petition by Alamo LP or Vanguard, as applicable, against the
QI or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that Alamo LP or
Vanguard, as applicable, 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.

 

(b)           Each
of the QI and Vanguard hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date
which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all of the Notes, it
will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against,
Alamo LP, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the
United States or any state of the United States. In the event that the QI or
Vanguard takes action in violation of this Section 8.20(b), Alamo LP
agrees, for the benefit of the secured parties under the Base Indenture, as
supplemented by the LKE Supplements thereto, that it shall file an answer with
the

 

34

 

bankruptcy
court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by the QI or
Vanguard, as applicable, against Alamo LP or the commencement of such action
and raise the defense that the QI or Vanguard, as applicable, 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.

 

(c)           The
provisions of this Section 8.20 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

 

Section 8.21.          No
Recourse. The obligations of Alamo LP under this Agreement are solely the
obligations of Alamo LP. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount
owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising
out of or based upon this Agreement against any manager, partner, employee,
officer or director of Alamo LP. Fees, expenses, costs and indemnities payable
by Alamo LP hereunder shall be payable by Alamo LP to the extent and only to
the extent that Alamo LP is reimbursed therefor. No amounts owing hereunder by
Alamo LP shall constitute a “claim” for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Section 8.22.          Master
Exchange Agreement Constitutes a Collateral Agreement. This Agreement is
entered into in connection with the issuance and purchase of the Notes and
relates to the Leases and the Vehicles. This Agreement shall constitute a
Collateral Agreement under the Base Indenture, including without limitation,
for the purposes of Sections 8.24 and 12.2 thereof.

 

Section 8.23.          Master
Servicer to Act. The Master Servicer may act on behalf of the Exchangor
hereunder.

 

Section 8.24.          Ownership
of the QI. If at any time, there has occurred a QI Parent Downgrade Event
with respect to the Intermediary, JPMPH may, and upon request by either the
Exchangor or Vanguard shall, transfer its ownership interest of all of the
issued and outstanding shares of the QI to another Person; provided that
the Rating Agency Confirmation Condition is satisfied with respect to such
Person. In connection with such transfer of the QI’s issued and outstanding
shares, each of JPMPH and the QI shall fully cooperate with Vanguard and the
Exchangor in any way reasonably requested by the Exchangor or Vanguard in order
to assist the Exchangor and Vanguard in effecting a transfer of the QI’s issued
and outstanding shares to such Person, and shall do such further acts and
things, and execute and deliver such additional assignments, agreements, powers
and instruments, as is required or as the Exchangor or Vanguard reasonably
determine to be necessary to effect such transfer.

AMENDED AND RESTATED ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

This AMENDED
AND RESTATED ESCROW AGREEMENT (as supplemented by the terms of the Amended and
Restated Master Exchange Agreement, this “Escrow Agreement”) is entered
into as of April 13, 2006, by and among Car for a Car, Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the “QI”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a New York banking
corporation, as the escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), Alamo Financing
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Alamo LP” or the “Exchangor”)
and Vanguard Car Rental USA Inc., as servicer (“Vanguard” or the “Servicer”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the
Exchangor, as part of its business operations, desires to exchange pursuant to
one or more Master Exchanges (the “LKE Program”) certain Vehicles used
in its business for other vehicles that are of like-kind, to be held for
productive use in its trade or business and to have each such transaction
qualify as a like-kind exchange within the meaning of Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”) pursuant
to one or more of the “safe harbors” described in Section 1.1031(k)-1(g) of the
Treasury Regulations, and Revenue Procedure 2003-39;

 

WHEREAS,
subject to the terms and provisions of a master exchange agreement (the “Master

Exchangor, the Exchangor has engaged the QI to act as a qualified intermediary
pursuant to Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) of the Treasury Regulations (such entity,
a “Qualified Intermediary”) with respect to its LKE Program in order to
facilitate the Master Exchange of Relinquished Property for Replacement
Property and to sell receivables and related rights it acquires upon return of
Relinquished Vehicles to a Manufacturer or to pledge such receivables and
related rights as security for financing for the purchase of Replacement
Property and has directed the QI to establish, or become a joint holder of, one
or more accounts (with only the Master Exchange Account to be held in escrow by
the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement) to hold proceeds from the
disposition of Relinquished Property and any Additional Subsidies and to
disburse such proceeds and any Additional Subsidies in accordance with Section 1031
of the Code;

 

WHEREAS, it is
the intention of the parties that, as provided in Section 1.1031(b)-1(c) of the
Treasury Regulations, consideration received by the Exchangor in the form of a
relief from liabilities (or transfer subject to a liability) shall be offset by
consideration given by the Exchangor in the form of cash, an assumption of
liabilities, or a receipt of property subject to a liability;

 

WHEREAS, the
Escrow Agent may from time to time hold and disburse, pursuant to the terms of
this Escrow Agreement, certain funds belonging to the Exchangor that are not
derived from the disposition of Relinquished Property for purposes other than
the acquisition of Replacement Property;

 

 

WHEREAS,
subject to the terms and provisions of the Master Exchange Agreement, it is
intended that the Exchangor shall not be determined to be in actual or
constructive receipt of proceeds from the disposition of Relinquished Property
or any earnings thereon; and

 

WHEREAS,
notwithstanding the immediately foregoing paragraph, it is the intent of the
parties that the funds held in the Escrow Accounts maintained by the Escrow
Agent shall not be part of the QI’s general assets, nor subject to claims by
the QI’s creditors;

the Escrow Accounts, or any other account or sub-account established pursuant
to the terms of this Escrow Agreement, shall only be distributed in accordance

8

 

Exchange
Account for the purposes described herein that are subject to the QI’s approval
and shall notify the QI of such initiated transfers. The instructions with
respect to the proposed Electronic Funds Transfers shall set forth the amounts
to be withdrawn from the Master Exchange Account and transferred to a Joint Disbursement
Account on such day to fund all or a portion of the Replacement Property
Acquisition Cost on such day, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
A hereto, and shall be either (1) executed by or on behalf of both the
Exchangor and the QI or (2) executed by or on behalf of the Exchangor with the
certification contained in Exhibit A stating that the Exchangor has
provided such instruction simultaneously to the Escrow Agent and the QI. Such
instructions to the Escrow Agent shall also include instructions regarding
adjustments (e.g., calculation errors, overpayments, etc.), if any, to amounts
previously funded from the Master Exchange Account. If the QI does not approve
any of the proposed Electronic Funds Transfer transactions, the QI shall immediately
notify the Exchangor and the Escrow Agent via telephone or fax within one hour
of its receipt of notice of such Electric Funds Transfer of the disapproval and
the reasons for such disapproval. Any disapproval communicated by telephone
shall be confirmed in writing. If the Escrow Agent receives instructions in the
form of Exhibit A (i) executed by or on behalf of both the Exchangor and
the QI or (ii) executed by or on behalf of the Exchangor with the appropriate
certification and the QI has not disapproved of the instructions (orally or in
writing) within one hour of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such instructions,
then the Escrow Agent shall promptly execute instructions delivered to the
Escrow Agent (subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.1(a) and to
any other reasonable conditions to acceptance established by the Escrow Agent
in the ordinary course of business, such as proper formatting, complete
instructions, etc.). The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to
verify or confirm any of the information contained in the electronic

exceeds the total amount of collected funds in the Master Exchange Account,
including any Qualified Earnings from the investment of funds held in the
Master Exchange Account pursuant to this Escrow Agreement on such day and
actually credited to the Master Exchange Account, the amounts to be transferred
to such Joint Disbursement Account from the Master Exchange Account on such day
shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall.

abbreviations including, but not limited to, the following names, are

Section 3.6.            Limitation
on Rights to Master Exchange Proceeds.

particular, all Relinquished Property Proceeds, and any earnings thereon, shall
be held subject to Sections 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(ii) and 1.1031(k)-1(g)(6) of the
Treasury Regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, the Exchangor’s rights to
receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of any Relinquished
Property Proceeds (whether in the form of money or other property) and any
earnings thereon are expressly limited as provided in Sections
1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(ii) and 1.1031(k)-1(g)(6) of the Treasury Regulations. In
order to preserve the qualification of Master Exchanges as valid like-kind
exchanges under the Safe Harbor, the Exchangor shall not have any rights to
receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of the Relinquished
Property Proceeds or the Qualified Earnings thereon held by either the QI or
the Escrow Agent except that (1) Relinquished Property Proceeds shall be
applied to pay amounts payable (and any other obligations or liabilities
arising) under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the LKE Supplements
thereto, required to be repaid with such proceeds pursuant to the terms of the
Master Exchange Agreement and (2) Relinquished Property Proceeds may be
withdrawn solely for one of the following occurrences with respect to any
Master Exchange (each a “Disbursement Occurrence”):  (i) the Exchangor has not identified the
Replacement Property with respect to any Relinquished Property on or before the
expiration of the Identification Period with respect to such Relinquished
Property, (ii) after the identification of Replacement Property with respect to
any applicable Relinquished Property and the expiration of the Identification
Period with respect to such Relinquished Property, the Exchangor has received
all of such identified Replacement Property to which the Exchangor is entitled,
(iii) the expiration of the Master Exchange Period for any of the applicable
Relinquished Property, (iv) that the QI may enter into Master Exchange
Financing Agreements and Manufacturer Receivables Transfer Agreements in
accordance with Section 2.12 and Section 2.13 and the other
requirements of the Master Exchange Agreement or (v) any occurrence otherwise
provided for in Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)6(iii)(B) of the Treasury Regulations. Further,
each Escrow Account shall be subject to such restrictions as are necessary for
such Escrow Account to satisfy the requirements of Sections 5.02 and 5.03 of
Revenue Procedure 2003-39, including, but not limited to, the requirement (i)
that each Escrow Account is in the name of the Exchangor and the QI, or in the
name of a third party (other than a Disqualified Person), (ii) that each Escrow
Account is used to collect, hold, and/or disburse proceeds arising from the
sale of Relinquished Property for the benefit of the QI,

 

10

 

(iii) that the
terms of fund transfers from each such Escrow Account require authorization
from the QI to transfer Relinquished Property Proceeds and (iv) that the
Exchangor may not pledge, borrow, or otherwise obtain the benefits of the
Relinquished Property Proceeds held in the Escrow Accounts. This provision shall apply notwithstanding any
inconsistent instruction given by the Exchangor and notwithstanding any
decision by the Exchangor not to pursue a deferred exchange or to abandon the
transactions contemplated by this Escrow Agreement.

 

(b)           The
QI shall have only such interest in any of the Escrow Funds as is expressly
provided in the Master Exchange Agreement and shall have the right to use,
withdraw, transfer or otherwise act with respect to any of the Escrow Funds
only as expressly provided in, and for the purposes set forth in, this Escrow
Agreement and/or the Master Exchange Agreement.

 

(c)           In
the event this Escrow Agreement is terminated, whether or not replaced with a
new Escrow Agreement, the Relinquished Property Proceeds will continue to be
held by the Qualified Intermediary subject to the same limitations of this
agreement, specifically Sections 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(ii) and 1.1031(k)-1(g)(6) of
the Treasury Regulations until such time as they become Additional Subsidies.

 

Section 3.7.            Returns.
If at any time, for any reason, funds transferred from an Escrow Account are
returned to such Escrow Account, such funds shall be transferred by the Escrow
Agent upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of electronic written instructions from
the Exchangor and the QI.

as a result of the deposit of the Relinquished Property Proceeds in the Master
Exchange Account, the Exchangor acknowledges and agrees that absent a
Disbursement Occurrence it will not have the right to receive, pledge, borrow
or

 

11

 

otherwise
obtain the benefit of any of the Qualified Funds, any interest thereon, or any
other benefits earned in lieu of interest, held or otherwise provided by the QI
or the Escrow Agent.

 

(b)           If
any Qualified Earnings on Relinquished Property Proceeds are held in the Master
Exchange Account, such Qualified Earnings shall not be disbursed during the
Master Exchange Period for the related Relinquished Property. Any Qualified
Earnings as to which the Master Exchange Period of the Relinquished Property
has expired shall thereafter be deemed Additional Subsidies.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not have any liability for any loss
sustained as a result of any investment made as provided in this Section 4.1
or any liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity, other than
investments, if any, for which the Escrow Agent is the obligor.

receives a request pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof authorizing release of
the Escrow Funds, or a portion thereof, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the
terms and conditions described in this Escrow Agreement, disburse the Escrow
Funds, or designated portion thereof, including any interest or other amounts

receives written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto
authorizing termination of the escrow hereunder for failure to identify the

Funds), or designated portion thereof, to the Master Collateral Account
pursuant to the instructions set forth in such notice.

(iv)          If the Escrow Agent

escrow agreement substantially in the form of this Escrow Agreement and

of authorized representatives of the QI and the Exchangor, the Escrow Agent
shall release the Escrow Funds (or any portion thereof), in the amounts and to
the parties referenced in such notice, and any documentation related to the tax
deferred exchange that it may hold. At no time during the transition from
existing Escrow Agent to the new Escrow Agent shall the Exchangor have the
right to receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of the Escrow
Funds unless such funds become Additional Subsidies.

 

(v)           If the Exchangor
terminates this Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 6.14 hereof, and
thereafter the Escrow Agent receives written notice substantially in the form
of Exhibit E hereto stating that a new escrow holder has been appointed
pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the form of this Escrow
Agreement following the termination of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent

(vii)         Except as otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.6(a) hereof and
this Section 5.1, the Escrow Funds may not be disbursed under any
conditions except those set forth above in this Section 5.1, and the
parties agree that neither the QI nor the Exchangor shall have the authority to
direct (and no such direction shall be effective against) the Escrow Agent to
disburse Escrow Funds. All disbursements made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement
by the Escrow Agent shall be made by wire, ACH or other Electronic Funds
Transfer

 

13

 

unless such
party, in its sole discretion, agrees to another method of disbursement or
delivery.

 

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

Section 6.1.            Obligations
of the Escrow Agent.

 

(a)           The
Escrow Agent shall invoice the Exchangor for authorized fees and expenses
payable by the Exchangor. Payments of reasonable fees and expenses pursuant to
an invoice shall be due thirty (30) days from the date of the Exchangor’s
receipt of such invoice plus any required supporting documentation.

 

(b)           The
Escrow Agent shall not have any obligation to, nor shall it incur any liability
for failing to, advance, use or risk, in any manner or for any purpose, its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder. The
provisions of this Section 6.1(b) shall survive the termination of this
Escrow Agreement.

 

(c)           Except
as expressly contemplated by this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of in any manner all or any portion of the
Escrow Funds, except pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(d)           The
duties, responsibilities and obligations the Escrow Agent under this Escrow
Agreement shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein, and no duties,
responsibilities or obligations shall be inferred or implied. Other than as
contemplated herein, the Escrow Agent shall not be subject to, or required to
comply with, any other agreement between the Exchangor and the QI or to which
the Exchangor or the QI is a party, or to comply with any direction or
instruction (other than those contained herein or delivered in accordance with
this Escrow Agreement) from the Exchangor or the QI or an entity or entities
acting on their behalf.

 

(e)           If
at any time the Escrow Agent is served with any judicial or administrative
order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative
process that in any way affects the Escrow Funds (including, but not limited
to, orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies, injunctions
or stays relating to the transfer of the Escrow Funds), the Escrow Agent shall
promptly notify the Trustee and the Master Collateral Agent of such occurrence
and the Escrow Agent shall thereafter be authorized to comply therewith in any
manner that it or legal counsel of its own choosing reasonably deems
appropriate; and if the Escrow Agent complies with any such judicial or
administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or
administrative process, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or
to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or
process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have
been without legal force or effect.

 

14

 

(f)            The
Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the Escrow Funds held by it
hereunder any greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property and
shall not be required to invest any Escrow Funds held hereunder except as
directed in this Escrow Agreement. Uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn
or accrue interest.

 

(g)           At
any time the Escrow Agent may request an instruction in writing from the
Exchangor and the QI and may, at its own option, include in such request the
course of action it proposes to take and the date on which it proposes to act,
regarding any matter arising in connection with its duties and obligations
hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for acting in accordance with
such a proposal on or after the date specified therein, provided that
the specified date shall be at least three (3) Business Days after the
Exchangor and the QI receive the Escrow Agent’s request for instructions and
its proposed course of action, and provided  further that, prior
to so acting, the Escrow Agent has not received the written instructions
requested, including a refusal to the proposed course of action.

 

(h)           In
the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder or in any notice,
instruction or other communication received hereunder by the Escrow Agent, the
Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, only after notifying the Exchangor
and the QI in writing, refrain from taking any action other than retaining
possession of the Escrow Funds unless the Escrow Agent receives written
instructions, signed by the Exchangor and the QI, which eliminates such
ambiguity or uncertainty.

 

(i)            The
Exchangor shall pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request, for any taxes
relating to the Escrow Funds incurred in connection herewith and shall
indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from any amounts it is obligated
to pay in the way of such taxes. In addition, all interest or other income
earned under this Escrow Agreement shall be allocated to the Exchangor for
federal income tax purposes, and paid only as directed by the Exchangor and the
QI pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement, as
supplemented by the terms of the Master Exchange Agreement, and reported by the
Exchangor to the IRS or any other taxing authority. Notwithstanding any written
directions, the Escrow Agent shall report, and as required withhold, any taxes
it determines may be required by any law or regulation in effect at the time of
distribution. If any earnings remain undistributed at the end of any calendar
year, the Escrow Agent shall report to the IRS or such other authority such
earnings as it deems appropriate or as required by any applicable law or
regulation. This Section 6.1(i) shall survive the termination of this
Escrow Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

 

(j)            The
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification,
demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it by the Exchangor or
otherwise hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the
correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the
service thereof. Subject to Section 5.1(vi) hereto, the Escrow Agent may
act in reliance upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any
instrument or signature reasonably believed by it to

 

15

 

be genuine and
may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any
statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has
been duly authorized to do so. All written notices when received as provided
pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof shall be valid and accepted whether
signed in counterparts or one document.

 

Section 6.2.            Conflicting
Instructions; Adverse Claims. In the event of any disagreement between the
Exchangor and the QI resulting in conflicting instructions to (including,
without limitation, the disapproval by the QI of a proposed Electronic Funds
Transfer pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof), or adverse claims or demands
by the Exchangor and the QI upon, the Escrow Agent with respect to the release
of the Escrow Funds or any part thereof, then the Escrow Agent shall
immediately deliver a true copy thereof to the Exchangor, the QI, the Master
Collateral Agent and the Trustee along with the Escrow Agent’s written notice
in refusing to comply with the adverse claims or demands referred to above, or
as an alternative, wait for clarification from both the Exchangor and the QI
before complying. If the Escrow Agent gives written notice to the Exchangor,
the QI, the Master Collateral Agent and the Trustee as referred to above, then
the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to and be fully protected in refusing to
comply with any claims or demands on it and shall continue to hold the Escrow
Funds until it receives either (i) a written notice signed by both the QI and
the Exchangor directing the delivery of the Escrow Funds or (ii) a final order
of a court of competent jurisdiction, entered in a proceeding in which the QI
and the Exchangor are named as parties, directing the delivery of the Escrow
Funds in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement, in either of which
events the Escrow Agent shall then deliver the Escrow Funds in accordance with
said direction. The Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to
any person for its refusal to comply with any such claims or demands until and
unless it has received a direction of the nature described in clause (i)
or (ii) above. Upon the taking by the Escrow Agent of any action in
accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above, the Escrow Agent shall
be released of and from all liability hereunder with respect to the Escrow
Funds.

without limitation, Federal Express), (iii) by certified or registered mail,

delivered pursuant to any Funds Transfer Protocol made a part of this Escrow
Agreement including by facsimile transmission. Notices, demands and requests

Section 6.4.            Notice
of Claims Relating to the Escrow Accounts. If the Escrow Agent receives a
written notice signed by or on behalf of either the QI or the Exchangor (or a
third party having knowledge and disclosing to the Escrow Agent reasonably
reliable proof of such matter) advising the Escrow Agent that there is a
pending litigation between the QI and the Exchangor or any other entity
claiming entitlement to the Escrow Funds, (i) the Escrow Agent may, on notice
to the Master Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the QI and the Exchangor, deposit
the Escrow Funds with the clerk of the court in which said litigation is
pending; or (ii) take such affirmative steps as it elects in order to terminate
its duties as escrow holder hereunder, including, without limitation, the
deposit of the Escrow Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction and, if no
action to which the QI and the Exchangor are parties is then pending with
respect to the Escrow Funds, the commencement of an action for interpleader,
the costs thereof to be borne jointly and severally by the QI and the
Exchangor.

 

Section 6.5.            Limitation
of Liabilities; Indemnification. (a)  The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that the duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder are purely
ministerial, at the request of the QI and the Exchangor and for their
convenience. The Escrow Agent shall not be or be deemed to be the agent or
trustee for the QI or the Exchangor, and neither the QI nor the Exchangor shall
be or be deemed to be the agent or trustee of the Escrow Agent. The QI and the
Exchangor agree that, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the
Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability whatsoever for any action taken,
suffered or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from their respective
actions or their respective performance or lack of performance of their
respective duties hereunder in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on its part, and do hereby release and waive any claim they may have
against the Escrow Agent, which may result from its performance of its
obligations under this Escrow Agreement other than as a result of gross
negligence or willful misconduct including, but not limited to, a delay in the
electronic wire transfer of, or other delivery of, funds. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be

 

18

 

responsible or
liable in any manner whatsoever for (a) acting in accordance with or relying
upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document from the
Exchangor or the QI or any entity acting on behalf of the Exchangor or the QI
provided for herein, (b) for the acts or omissions in compliance and accordance
with this Escrow Agreement of their respective nominees, correspondents,
designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians, so long as such nominees,
correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians are selected with
due care, (c) for the investment or reinvestment of any Escrow Funds held by it
hereunder, in each case in good faith, in accordance with the terms hereof,
including, without limitation, any liability for any delays (not resulting from
its negligence or willful misconduct) in the investment or reinvestment of the
Escrow Funds or any loss of interest incident to any such delays, (d) an amount
in excess of the value of the Escrow Funds valued as of the date of deposit,
(e) the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, validity or enforceability of
any document or instrument delivered to it, including without limitation, any
fax document or instrument, (f) the form of execution of any such document or
instrument, (g) the apparent identity, authority, or rights of any person
executing or delivering any such document or instrument, (h) the terms and
conditions of any document or instrument pursuant to which the parties may act,
or (i) the validity or effectiveness of any of the transactions, or the
treatment for tax purposes, of any of the transactions contemplated herein, (j)
the sale of the Relinquished Property or the selection or terms of acquisition
of any Replacement Property or other property, or the state of title,
condition, quality or value of any Relinquished Property, Replacement Property
or other property, (k) compliance with or monitoring the requirements of
Section 1031 of the Code and/or Revenue Procedure 2003-39, including, without
limitation, any time periods or notice or performance requirements, or (l) the
treatment for tax purposes (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section
1031 of the Code and/or Revenue Procedure 2003-39) of any Escrow Funds
delivered or held hereunder or the income, interest or other amounts which may
be earned or accrue relative to the Escrow Funds. Subject to Section 5.1(vi)
hereto, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the authenticity of any
signature, including, without limitation, any fax signature, purporting to be
by the QI or the Exchangor received by it relating to this Escrow Agreement.

 

(b)           The
Exchangor shall, and hereby does indemnify, protect, save, defend and hold
harmless the Escrow Agent and its respective officers, directors, employees,
agents and attorneys from and against all claims, loss, damage and costs,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in
connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder
(including, without limitation, such reasonable legal fees and court costs as
may be incurred by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Escrow Agreement), except
with respect to acts involving gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of the Escrow Agent (and then only to the extent attributable to the same).
Anything in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event
shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even
if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless

 

19

 

of the form of
action. The provisions of this Section 6.5(b) shall survive the
termination of this Escrow Agreement.

 

(c)           The
Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of its own choosing, at the
reasonable expense of the Exchangor, as to any matter relating to this Escrow
Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability in acting in good
faith in accordance with any advice from such counsel.

 

(d)           The
Escrow Agent shall not be required to give any bond or other security hereunder.
The QI and the Exchangor hereby acknowledge that the Escrow Agent shall not
have any liability for any loss, cost or damage that the QI or the Exchangor or
any other person or entity may sustain by reason of the failure to pay,
default, insolvency or bankruptcy of any entity or investment in which the
Escrow Funds may have been invested or deposited which prevents or delays
payment of the Escrow Funds or any interest, income or other amount earned or
accrued thereon as herein provided.

 

(e)           The
Escrow Agent has executed this Escrow Agreement for the sole purpose of
agreeing to act as such in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Escrow Agreement. The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the
statements of the QI and the Exchangor and shall not be deemed representations
or warranties of the Escrow Agent.

 

Section 6.6.            Entire
Agreement. This Escrow Agreement, the Master Exchange Agreement and the
other agreements referenced herein and in the Master Exchange Agreement contain
the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof
and there are no verbal or collateral understandings, agreements,
representations or warranties not expressly set forth herein. This Escrow Agreement
may not be assigned, modified, or amended except by writing executed by the
parties hereto and satisfaction of the Rating Agency Confirmation Condition. No
change or amendment of this Escrow Agreement affecting the rights, duties, or
liability of a party hereto shall be binding upon such party, unless agreed to
in writing signed by such party.

 

Section 6.7.            Counterparts.
This Escrow Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and such
counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

Section 6.8.            No
Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in this Section 6.8,
the terms and provisions of this Escrow Agreement shall give rise to no right
in any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have the
right to enforce or benefit from the terms hereof. To secure Alamo LP’s
obligations under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the LKE Supplements
thereto, Alamo LP has pledged, assigned, conveyed, delivered, transferred and
set over to the Master Collateral Agent a security interest in all of its
right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow Agreement, including any
amendments hereto, all monies due and to become due to Alamo LP

 

20

 

hereunder,
whether such amounts are released from the Joint Collection Account by the QI
and payable to Alamo LP or payable as damages for breach of this Escrow
Agreement or otherwise, and all other property released or to be released by
the QI to Alamo LP hereunder and all rights to compel performance and otherwise
exercise remedies hereunder.

 

Section 6.9.            Authorization.
The persons signing this Escrow Agreement and any accompanying exhibits each
represent and warrant that they have the power and authority to do so and have
been duly authorized to execute and deliver this Escrow Agreement and any
accompanying exhibits on behalf of the party for whom they are so executing and
delivering the same.

 

Section 6.10.          Termination.
Upon delivery of all of the Escrow Funds and all interest earned thereon as
required or permitted hereunder and following written notice to each of the
Escrow Agent, the Master Collateral Agent and the Trustee from the Exchangor of
the termination of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved
and discharged from all obligations and liabilities hereunder with respect
thereto and this Escrow Agreement shall thereupon be deemed terminated.

 

Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to
terminate this Escrow Agreement at any time (the “Termination Date”)
prior to complete disbursement of all of the Escrow Funds upon not less than
ninety (90) Business Days’ notice to the QI, the Exchangor, the Master
Collateral Agent and the Trustee, provided, however, that (i) if
a notice to disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof is
received by the Escrow Agent and such disbursement is to occur prior to the
Termination Date, then the Escrow Agent will comply with the terms of this
Escrow Agreement and make such disbursement pursuant hereto and (ii) in the
event that any party hereto terminates this Agreement, such party shall not do
so in a manner that causes a pending Master Exchange not to qualify under
Section 1031 of the Code or in a manner that would violate Sections
1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(ii) or (g)(6) of the Treasury Regulations or Revenue
Procedure 2003-39. If the Escrow Agent gives notice setting a Termination Date,
the Exchangor and the QI may, at their option and provided that the Rating
Agency Confirmation Condition is satisfied with respect thereto, appoint one or
more new escrow agents pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the
form of this Escrow Agreement and, provided the Escrow Agent shall receive an
instruction substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto not less than
two (2) Business Days prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall
deliver the Escrow Funds in accordance with such instruction.

 

Section 6.11.          No
Discretion. The Escrow Agent may act through agents or attorneys-in-fact,
by and under a power of attorney duly executed by the Escrow Agent in carrying
out any of the powers and duties pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, subject to clause
(b) of Section 6.5(a) hereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be required
to exercise any discretion hereunder.

 

21

 

Section 6.12.          CHOICE
OF LAW. THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HERETO UNDER THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
IN ANY WAY TO THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. VENUE SHALL BE
IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

Section 6.13.          JURY
TRIAL WAIVER. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE
THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING FROM THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM THERETO.

 

Section 6.14.          Certain
Bankruptcy Events. If the Escrow Agent:

 

(a)           suffers
the entry against it of a judgment, decree or order for relief by a court of
competent jurisdiction or any regulatory agency in an involuntary proceeding
commenced under any applicable insolvency, receivership or other similar law of
any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, or has any such proceeding
commenced against it which remains undismissed for a period of thirty (30)
days, or

 

(b)           commences
a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
similar law now or hereafter in effect; or applies for or consents to the entry
of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law; or makes a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or fails generally to pay (or
admits in writing its inability to pay) its debts as such debts become due; or
takes corporate or other action to authorize any of the foregoing, then

 

the Exchangor
may, immediately upon notice to the QI, the Master Collateral Agent, the
Trustee and the Escrow Agent, appoint, or cause the QI to appoint, a successor
and upon such appointment such successor shall be vested with all title,
estate, rights, obligations and powers conveyed to the Escrow Agent hereunder,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

Section 6.15.          Force

the United States. In the event that the Escrow Agent, Alamo LP or Vanguard
takes action in violation of this Section 6.18, the QI agrees, for the
benefit of the secured parties under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the
LKE Supplements thereto, that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court
or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by the Escrow
Agent, Alamo LP or Vanguard, as applicable, against the QI or the commencement
of such action and raise the defense that the Escrow Agent, Alamo LP and
Vanguard, as applicable, 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.

(ii) items, including, without limitation any Automated Clearing House
transactions, which are returned for any reason or any adjustments.

 

Section 6.20.          No
Recourse. The obligations of Alamo LP under this Escrow Agreement are
solely the obligations of Alamo LP. No recourse shall be had for the payment of
any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or

partner, employee, officer or director of Alamo LP. Fees, expenses, costs and
indemnities payable by Alamo LP hereunder shall be payable by Alamo LP to the
