AGREEMENT

 

1.             DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

 

1.1.         DEFINITIONS.  As used in this Agreement and unless the context requires a different meaning, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Schedule I hereto and, if not defined therein, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Series 2013-G1 Supplement.

 

1.2.         CONSTRUCTION.  In this Agreement, including the preamble, recitals, attachments, schedules, annexes, exhibits and joinders hereto, unless the context otherwise requires:

 

(a)           the singular includes the plural and vice versa;

 

(b)           references to an agreement or document shall include the preamble, recitals, all attachments, schedules, annexes, exhibits and joinders to such agreement or document, and are to such agreement or document (including all such attachments, schedules, annexes, exhibits and joinders to such agreement or document) as amended, supplemented, restated and otherwise modified from time to time and to any successor or replacement agreement or document, as applicable (unless otherwise stated);

 

(c)           reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and assigns but, if applicable, only if such successors and assigns are permitted by this Agreement, and reference to any Person in a particular capacity only refers to such Person in such capacity;

 

(d)           reference to any gender includes the other gender;

 

(e)           reference to any Requirement of Law means such Requirement of Law as amended, modified, codified or reenacted, in whole or in part, and in effect from time to time;

 

(f)            “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term;

 

(g)           with respect to the determination of any period of time, “from” means “from and including” and “to” means “to but excluding”;

 

(h)           the language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party;

 

(i)            as used in this Agreement, the term “title” refers to a Certificate of Title or other similar form of vehicle title and is intended by each party hereto to include the terms “vehicle registration” and “vehicle license plate,” unless specified otherwise;

 

2

 

(j)            as used in this Agreement, the term (and each defined term including the term) “rental”, when used in the context of customer rentals, daily car rental businesses, normal daily rental operations and daily motor vehicle rental industries is intended by each party hereto to include car sharing businesses, operations and platforms; and

 

(k)           unless specified otherwise, “titling” will be deemed to include the acts of registering a vehicle, including the registering of the license plates of a vehicle.

 

2.             NATURE OF AGREEMENT.  (a)  Each Lessee and the Lessor intend that this Agreement is a lease and that the relationship between the Lessor and such Lessee pursuant hereto shall always be only that of lessor and lessee, and each Lessee hereby declares, acknowledges and agrees that the Lessor is the owner of the Lease Vehicles, and legal title to the Lease Vehicles is either held by the Lessor directly or through the Nominee pursuant to the Nominee Agreement or, on any date on or after the RCFC Nominee Trigger Date, RCFC pursuant to the RCFC Nominee Agreement.  No Lessee shall acquire by virtue of this Agreement any right, equity, title or interest in or to any Lease Vehicles, except the leasehold interest and option to purchase established by this Agreement.  The parties agree that this Agreement is a “true lease” and agree to treat the leasehold interest established by this Agreement as a lease for all purposes, including accounting, regulatory and otherwise, except it will be disregarded for tax purposes to the extent the Lessor and one or more Lessees are treated as the same taxpayer under the Code or under applicable state tax laws.

 

(b)           GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.  If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this Agreement, the leasehold interest established by this Agreement is deemed by any court, tribunal, arbitrator or other adjudicative authority (each, a “Court”) in any proceeding, including any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights to constitute a financing arrangement or otherwise not to constitute a “true lease” with respect to the Lease Vehicles, then it is the intention of the parties that this Agreement together with the Collateral Agency Agreement, as such agreements apply to the Lease Vehicles, shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law (and such Lease Vehicles shall be deemed to be Pledged Master Collateral).  Each Lessee hereby acknowledges that it has granted to the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement, for the benefit of the Trustee, a first priority security interest in all of such Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to its Pledged Master Collateral (as defined therein) as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the obligations and liabilities of such Lessee to the Lessor and the Trustee, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in connection with, this Agreement and any other document made, delivered or given in connection herewith, whether on account of rent, principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, or expenses (including all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Lessor or the Trustee that are required to be paid by such Lessee pursuant to the terms hereof).

 

2.1.         Lease of Vehicles.

 

(a)           Agreement to Lease.  From time to time, subject to the terms and provisions hereof (including satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.1(b)), the Lessor 

 

3

 

agrees to lease to each Lessee, and each Lessee agrees to lease from the Lessor those certain Lease Vehicles identified on Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedules and Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedules produced from time to time by or on behalf of such Lessee pursuant to Sections 2.1(c) and 2.2(b), respectively.

 

(b)           Conditions Precedent to Lease of Leased Vehicles.  The agreement of the Lessor to commence leasing any Lease Vehicle to any Lessee hereunder is subject to the following conditions precedent being satisfied on or prior to the Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date for such Lease Vehicle:

 

(i)          No Default.  No Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date for such Lease Vehicle or would result from the leasing of such Lease Vehicle hereunder, and no Series 2013-G1 Potential Operating Lease Event of Default with respect to any event or condition specified in Section 9.1.1, Section 9.1.5 or Section 9.1.8 shall have occurred and be continuing on the Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date for such Lease Vehicle or would result from the leasing of such Lease Vehicle hereunder;

 

(ii)         Funding.  HVF shall have sufficient available funds constituting Series 2013-G1 Collateral available under the Series 2013-G1 Supplement or otherwise to purchase such Lease Vehicle;

 

(iii)        Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties contained in Section 7 are true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation or warranty contains a materiality limitation by its terms, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct) as of such date (unless any such representation or warranty by its terms makes reference to a specific date, in which case, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct for such specific date); and

 

(iv)        Eligible Vehicle.  Such Lease Vehicle is a Series 2013-G1 Eligible Vehicle.

 

(c)           Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedules.  From time to time, each Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lessor one or more schedules identifying the vehicles such Lessee desires to lease from the Lessor hereunder, which schedules shall include the Basic Lease Vehicle Information (each such schedule, a “Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule”).  Each Lessee hereby agrees that each such delivery of a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule shall be deemed hereunder to constitute a representation and warranty by such Lessee, to and in favor of the Lessor, that each condition precedent to the leasing of the Lease Vehicles identified in such Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule has been or will be satisfied as of the date of such delivery.

 

(d)           Lease Vehicle Acceptance or Nonconforming Lease Vehicle Rejection.  With respect to any vehicle identified on a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule and made available for lease by the Lessor to any Lessee, such Lessee shall have the right to inspect such vehicle within five (5) calendar days of receipt (the “Inspection Period”) of such vehicle and either accept or, if 

 

4

 

such vehicle is a Nonconforming Lease Vehicle, reject such vehicle; provided that, such Lessee shall be deemed to have accepted such vehicle as a Lease Vehicle unless it has notified the Lessor in writing that such vehicle is a Nonconforming Lease Vehicle during the Inspection Period (the delivery date of such written notice, the “Rejection Date”).  If such Lessee timely notifies the Lessor that such vehicle is a Nonconforming Lease Vehicle (such Nonconforming Lease Vehicle with respect to which such Lessee has so notified the Lessor, a “Rejected Vehicle”), then the Lessor shall either (i) promptly lease such Rejected Vehicle to another Lessee or to an Alternative Lease Lessee pursuant to Section 2.2 or (ii) cause the Servicer to dispose of such Rejected Vehicle (including by returning such Rejected Vehicle to the seller thereof) in accordance with Section 6.1.

 

2.2.         Certain Transfers.

 

(a)           Inter-Lease Transfers.  From time to time, a particular Lessee (a “Reallocating Lessee”) may desire to cease leasing a Lease Vehicle hereunder and an Alternative Lease Lessee may desire to commence leasing such Lease Vehicle pursuant to another Segregated Series Lease.  With respect to any Lease Vehicle, upon delivery by such Reallocating Lessee to the Lessor of written notice identifying by VIN each Lease Vehicle to be so transferred from such Reallocating Lessee to such Alternative Lease Lessee (such notice, an “Inter-Lease Reallocation Schedule”) and upon satisfaction of each condition set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below with respect to such Lease Vehicle, such Lease Vehicle identified in such Inter-Lease Reallocation Schedule (such Lease Vehicle, a “Reallocated Vehicle”) shall cease to be leased by such Reallocating Lessee and shall contemporaneously commence being leased to such Alternative Lease Lessee pursuant to another Segregated Series Lease, and each Reallocating Lessee agrees that upon such a transfer of such Lease Vehicle from such Lessee to an Alternative Lease Lessee (each such transfer, an “Inter-Lease Vehicle Reallocation”), such Reallocating Lessee relinquishes all rights that it has in such Lease Vehicle pursuant to this Agreement.  Each Inter-Lease Reallocation Schedule may be delivered electronically (including by e-mail, file transfer protocol or otherwise) and may be delivered directly by the applicable Reallocating Lessee or on its behalf by any agent or designee of such Reallocating Lessee.  Each Inter-Lease Vehicle Reallocation shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions as of the effective date of such Inter-Lease Vehicle Reallocation (the first date on which each such condition precedent shall have been satisfied, the “Inter-Lease Vehicle Reallocation Effective Date”):

 

(i)          an amount equal to the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle as of the later of (A) the first day of the calendar month in which such Inter-Lease Vehicle Reallocation Effective Date occurred and (B) the Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date with respect to such Lease Vehicle minus the Final Base Rent for such Lease Vehicle as of such Inter-Lease Vehicle Reallocation Effective Date, shall have been deposited in the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account; and

 

(ii)         each condition precedent to the lease of such Lease Vehicle under the Segregated Series Lease pursuant to which such Lease Vehicle will be leased immediately following such Inter-Lease Vehicle Reallocation shall have been satisfied.

 

5

 

(b)           Intra-Lease Transfers.  From time to time, a particular Lessee (the “Transferor Lessee”) may desire to cease leasing a Lease Vehicle hereunder and another Lessee (the “Transferee Lessee”) may desire to commence leasing such Lease Vehicle hereunder.  Upon delivery by such Lessees to the Lessor of written notice identifying by VIN each Lease Vehicle to be so transferred from such Transferor Lessee to such Transferee Lessee (such notice, an “Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule”), each Lease Vehicle identified in such Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule shall cease to be leased by the Transferor Lessee and shall contemporaneously commence being leased to the Transferee Lessee.  Each Lessee agrees that upon such a transfer of any Lease Vehicle from one Lessee to another Lessee pursuant to this Agreement, such Transferor Lessee relinquishes all rights that it has in such Lease Vehicle pursuant to this Agreement.  Each Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by either the applicable Transferor Lessee or the applicable Transferee Lessee or on behalf of either such party by any agent or designee of such party.

 

2.3.         Lessee’s Right to Purchase Lease Vehicles.  Each Lessee shall have the option, exercisable with respect to any Lease Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder during such Lease Vehicle’s Vehicle Term, to purchase such Lease Vehicle for an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle or (ii) the Market Value of such Lease Vehicle, in each case, as of the date such amount shall be deposited in the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account (the greater of such amounts being referred to as the “Lease Vehicle Buyout Price”).  In addition, no Lessee shall be permitted to purchase any Leased Vehicle leased by it from the Lessor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

2.4.         Return.  (a)  Lessee Right to Return.  Any Lessee may return any Lease Vehicle (other than any Lease Vehicle that has experienced a Casualty or become an Ineligible Vehicle) then leased by such Lessee at any time prior to such Lease Vehicle’s Maximum Lease Termination Date to the Servicer at the location for such Lease Vehicle’s return reasonably specified by the Servicer; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Vehicle Term for such Lease Vehicle will continue until the Vehicle Operating Lease Expiration Date thereof, notwithstanding the prior return of such Lease Vehicle pursuant to this Section 2.4(a).

 

(b)           Lessee Obligation to Return.  Each Lessee shall return each Lease Vehicle leased by such Lessee on or prior to such Lease Vehicle’s Maximum Lease Termination Date to the Servicer at the location for such Lease Vehicle’s return reasonably specified by the Servicer (taking into account transportation costs and expected realizable disposition proceeds).

 

2.5.         Redesignation of Vehicles.

 

(a)           Mandatory Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle to Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations.  With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, the Lessor shall on the date specified in Section 2.5(d) redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle, if:

 

(i)          a Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer Event of Default is continuing with respect to the Manufacturer of such Lease Vehicle as of such date, or

 

6

 

(ii)         as of any such date occurring after the Minimum Program Term End Date with respect to such Lease Vehicle, such Lease Vehicle were returned as of such date pursuant to the terms of the Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer Program with respect to such Lease Vehicle, the Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer of such Lease Vehicle would not be obligated to pay a repurchase price for such Lease Vehicle, or guarantee the disposition proceeds to be received for such Vehicle, in each case in an amount at least equal to (1) the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle, as of such date, minus (2) the Final Base Rent that would be payable in respect of such Lease Vehicle, assuming that such date were the Disposition Date for such Lease Vehicle, minus (3) the Series 2013-G1 Excess Mileage Charges with respect to such Lease Vehicle, that would be applicable as of such date, assuming that such date were the Disposition Date, minus (4) the Series 2013-G1 Excess Damage Charges with respect to such Lease Vehicle, that would be applicable as of such date, assuming that such date were the Disposition Date, minus (5) the Pre-VOLCD Program Vehicle Depreciation Amount paid or payable with respect to such Lease Vehicle, as of such date, minus (6) the Program Vehicle Depreciation Assumption True-Up Amount paid or payable with respect to such Lease Vehicle, as of such date.

 

(b)           Optional Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle to Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations.  In addition to Section 2.5(a) and without limitation thereto, with respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, such Lessee may redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle upon written notice to the Lessor (which written notice may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by such Lessee or on its behalf by any agent or designee of such Lessee); provided that, such Lessee shall not redesignate any Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle as a Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) if, after giving effect to such redesignation, an HVF II Group I Aggregate Asset Amount Deficiency would exist, unless such redesignation would decrease the amount of such HVF II Group I Aggregate Asset Amount Deficiency.

 

(c)           Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle to Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle Redesignations.  With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, if such Lease Vehicle was previously designated as a Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle, then such Lessee may redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle upon written notice to the Lessor (which written notice may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by such Lessee or on its behalf by any agent or designee of such Lessee); provided that, such Lessee may not redesignate any such Lease Vehicle as a Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle if such Lease Vehicle would then be required to be redesignated as a Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.5(a) after designating such Lease Vehicle as a Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle.

 

(d)           Timing of Redesignations.  With respect to any redesignation to be effected pursuant to Section 2.5(a), such redesignation shall occur as of the first calendar day of the calendar month following the date on which the applicable event or condition described in Section 2.5(a)(i) or (ii) occurs.  With respect to any redesignation to be effected pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or 2.5(c), such redesignation shall occur as of the first calendar day of the calendar

 

7

 

month immediately following the calendar month of the date written notice was delivered by the applicable Lessee of such redesignation.

 

(e)           Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle to Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle Redesignation Payments.  With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is redesignated as a Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.5(b), the Lessee of such Lease Vehicle as of the close of business on the date of such redesignation shall pay to the Lessor on the Payment Date following the effective date of such redesignation, as determined in accordance with Section 2.5(d), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle over the Market Value of such Lease Vehicle, in each case, as of the date of such redesignation (such excess, if any, for such Lease Vehicle, a “Redesignation to Non-Program Amount”).

 

(f)            Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle to Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle Redesignation Payments.  With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is redesignated as a Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.5(c), the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee of such Lease Vehicle on the Payment Date following the effective date of such redesignation, as determined in accordance with Section 2.5(d), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle (as of the date of such redesignation and calculated assuming that such Lease Vehicle had never been designated as a Series 2013-G1 Non-Program Vehicle) over the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle (as of the date of such redesignation but without giving effect to such Lease Vehicle’s redesignation as a Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicle) (such excess, if any, for such Lease Vehicle and such redesignation, the “Redesignation to Program Amount”); provided that,

 

(i)          no payment shall be required to be made and no payment may be made by the Lessor pursuant to this Section 2.5(f) to the extent that a Series 2013-G1 Amortization Event or a Series 2013-G1 Potential Amortization Event exists or would be caused by such payment,

 

(ii)         the amount of any such payment to be made by the Lessor on any such date shall be capped at and be paid from (and the obligation of the Lessor to make such payment on such date shall be limited to) the amount of funds available to the Lessor on such date, and

 

(iii)        if any such payment from the Lessor is limited in amount pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), the Lessor shall pay to such Lessee the funds available to the Lessor on such Payment Date and shall pay to such Lessee on each Payment Date thereafter the amount available to the Lessor until such Redesignation to Program Amount has been paid in full to such Lessee.

 

2.6.         Hell-or-High-Water Lease.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE A NET LEASE, AND EACH LESSEE’S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER SUMS HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT, SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM, DEDUCTION OR REDUCTION FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.  The obligations and liabilities of each

(vii)       any claim that such Lessee has or might have against any Person, including without limitation the Lessor;

(ix)        any invalidity or unenforceability or disaffirmance of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any of the other Series 2013-G1 Related Documents or any provision of any thereof, in each case whether against or by such Lessee or otherwise;

 

(x)         any insurance premiums payable by such Lessee with respect to the Lease Vehicles; or

 

(xi)        any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not such Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing and whether or not foreseen or foreseeable.

 

This Agreement shall not be cancellable by any Lessee (subject to Section 26) and, except as expressly provided by this Agreement, each Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this Agreement, or to any diminution or reduction of Rent or other amounts payable by such Lessee hereunder.  All payments by each Lessee made hereunder shall be final (except to the extent of adjustments provided for herein), absent manifest error and, except as otherwise provided herein, no Lessee shall seek to recover any such payment or any part thereof for any reason whatsoever, absent manifest error.  All covenants and agreements of each Lessee herein shall be performed at its cost, expense and risk unless expressly otherwise stated.

On the first day of each calendar month, each Lessee shall deliver to the Servicer a list identifying each Lease Vehicle subleased by such Lessee pursuant to the preceding clause (C) and the sublessee of each such Lease Vehicle, in each case, as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month, each of which deliveries will be satisfied by the Servicer having actual knowledge of each such subleased Lease Vehicle and the related sublessee to whom such Lease Vehicle was then being subleased.

 

The sublease of any Lease Vehicles permitted by this Section 5 shall not release any Lessee from any obligations under this Agreement.

9.1.6.      this Agreement or any portion thereof ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms or as otherwise expressly permitted in the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents) or a proceeding shall be commenced by any Lessee to establish the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement, in each case other than with respect to any Lessee that at such time is not leasing any Lease Vehicles hereunder;

 

9.1.7.      a Servicer Default occurs; or

 

9.1.8.      an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event occurs with respect to all HVF II Group I Notes.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Series 2013-G1 Potential Operating Lease Event of Default or Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default, if the event or condition giving rise (directly or indirectly) to such Series 2013-G1 Potential Operating Lease Event of Default or Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default, as applicable, ceases to be continuing (through cure, waiver or otherwise), then such Series 2013-G1 Potential Operating Lease Event of Default or Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default, as applicable, will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose under the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents.

 

9.2.         Effect of Operating Lease Event of Default.  If any Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default set forth in Sections 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.5, 9.1.6 or 9.1.8 shall occur and be continuing, the Lessee’s right of possession with respect to any Lease Vehicles leased hereunder shall be subject to the Lessor’s option to terminate such right as set forth in Sections 9.3 and 9.4.

 

9.3.         Rights of Lessor Upon Operating Lease Event of Default.

 

9.3.1.      If a Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then the Lessor may proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance by any Lessee of the applicable covenants and terms of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach hereof calculated in accordance with Section 9.5.

 

9.3.2.      If any Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default set forth in Sections 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.5, 9.1.6 or 9.1.8 shall occur and be continuing, then (i) the Lessor shall have the right (a) to terminate any Lessee’s rights of possession hereunder of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased hereunder by such Lessee, (b) to take

 

25

 

possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased by any Lessee hereunder, (c) to peaceably enter upon the premises of any Lessee or other premises where Lease Vehicles may be located and take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of any Lessee, or its successors or assigns, and to use such Lease Vehicles for any purpose whatsoever and (d) to direct delivery by the Servicer of the Certificates of Title for all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles and (ii) the Lessees, at the request of the Lessor or the Trustee acting at the direction of the HVF II Group I Requisite Investors, shall return or cause to be returned all Lease Vehicles to the Lessor or the Trustee as the case may be; provided that, the Trustee’s exercise of remedies shall be subject to Section 9.4(e).

 

9.3.3.      Each and every power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Lessor will be in addition to every other power and remedy hereby specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or in bankruptcy and each and every power and remedy may be exercised from time to time and simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor; provided, however, that the measure of damages recoverable against such Lessee will in any case be calculated in accordance with Section 9.5.  All such powers and remedies will be cumulative, and the exercise of one will not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others.  No delay or omission of the Lessor in the exercise of any such power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any payments due hereunder will impair any such power or remedy or will be construed to be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any exercise of any such right or power shall remain subject to each condition expressly specified in any Series 2013-G1 Related Document with respect to such exercise.  Any extension of time for payment hereunder or other indulgence duly granted to any Lessee will not otherwise alter or affect the Lessor’s rights or the obligations hereunder of such Lessee.  The Lessor’s acceptance of any payment after it will have become due hereunder will not be deemed to alter or affect the Lessor’s rights hereunder with respect to any subsequent payments or defaults therein.

 

9.4.         HVF II Group I Liquidation Event and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants.

 

(a)           Subject to Section 9.4(e), if an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee and HVF II Trustee shall have the rights against each Lessee and the Series 2013-G1 Collateral provided in the Series 2013-G1 Supplement, the HVF II Group I Supplement and the Collateral Agency Agreement upon an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event, including, in each case, the right (i) to terminate any Lessee’s rights of possession hereunder of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased hereunder by such Lessee, (ii) to take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased by any Lessee hereunder, (iii) to peaceably enter upon the premises of any Lessee or other premises where Lease Vehicles may be located and take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of any Lessee, or its successors or assigns, and to use such Lease Vehicles for any purpose whatsoever and (iv) to direct delivery by the Servicer of the Certificates of Title for all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles.

 

26

 

(b)                                 Subject to Section 9.4(e), during the continuance of an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event, the Servicer shall return any or all Lease Vehicles that are Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles to the related Manufacturers in accordance with the instructions of the Lessor.  To the extent any Manufacturer fails to accept any such Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles under the terms of the applicable Series 2013-G1 Manufacturer Program, the Lessor shall have the right to otherwise dispose of such Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles and to direct the Servicer to dispose of such Series 2013-G1 Program Vehicles in accordance with its instructions.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the exercise of any rights or remedies pursuant to this Section 9.4, the Lessor will, nevertheless, have a right to recover from such Lessee any and all amounts (for the avoidance of doubt, as limited by Section 9.5) as may be then due.

 

(d)                                 In addition, following the occurrence of an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event, the Lessor shall have all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims vis-a-vis each Lessee, necessary or desirable to allow the Trustee to exercise the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Series 2013-G1 Supplement, and each Lessee acknowledges that it has hereby granted to the Lessor all such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims granted by the Lessor to the Trustee pursuant to Article X of the Series 2013-G1 Supplement and that the Trustee may act in lieu of the Lessor in the exercise of all such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims.

 

(e)                                  The Trustee or the HVF II Trustee may only take possession of or exercise any of the rights or remedies specified in this Agreement, with respect to such number of Lease Vehicles necessary to generate disposition proceeds in an aggregate amount sufficient to pay each HVF II Series of Group I Notes with respect to which an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event is then continuing as set forth in the related HVF II Group I Series Supplement, taking into account the receipt of proceeds of all other vehicles being disposed of that have been pledged to secure such HVF II Series of Group I Notes.

 

9.5.                            Measure of Damages.  If a Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default or HVF II Group I Liquidation Event occurs and the Lessor or the Trustee exercises the remedies granted to the Lessor or the Trustee under this Section 9 or Section 10.2 of the Series 2013-G1 Supplement, the amount that the Lessor shall be permitted to recover from any Lessee as payment shall be equal to:

 

(i)                               all Rent for each Lease Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder to the extent accrued and unpaid as of the earlier of the date of the return to the Lessor of such Lease Vehicle or disposition by the Servicer of such Lease Vehicle in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all other payments payable under this Agreement by such Lessee, accrued and unpaid as of such date; plus

 

(ii)                            any reasonable out-of-pocket damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses that the Lessor or the Trustee will have sustained by reason of such a Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default or HVF II Group I Liquidation Event, together with reasonable sums for such attorneys’ fees and such expenses as will be expended or incurred in the seizure, storage, rental or sale of the Lease Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder or in the enforcement of any right or

 

27

 

privilege hereunder or in any consultation or action in such connection, in each case to the extent reasonably attributable to such Lessee; plus

 

(iii)                         interest from time to time on amounts due from such Lessee and unpaid under this Agreement at the one-month LIBOR Rate plus 1.0% computed from the date of such a Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default or HVF II Group I Liquidation Event or the date payments were originally due to the Lessor by such Lessee under this Agreement or from the date of each expenditure by the Lessor or the Trustee, as applicable, that is recoverable from such Lessee pursuant to this Section 9, as applicable, to and including the date payments are made by such Lessee.

 

9.6.                            Servicer Default.  Any of the following events will constitute a default of the Servicer (a “Servicer Default”) as that term is used herein:

 

(i)                               the failure of the Servicer to comply with or perform any provision of this Agreement or any other Series 2013-G1 Related Document that has a Lease Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Servicer, the Lessor or any Lessee, and such default continues for more than thirty (30) consecutive days after the earlier of the date written notice is delivered by the Lessor or the Trustee to the Servicer or the date an Authorized Officer of the Servicer obtains actual knowledge thereof;

 

(ii)                            an Event of Bankruptcy occurs with respect to the Servicer;

 

(iii)                         the failure of the Servicer to make any payment when due from it hereunder or under any of the other Series 2013-G1 Related Documents or to deposit any Series 2013-G1 Collections received by it into a Collateral Account when required under the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents and, in each case, such failure continues for five (5) consecutive Business Days after the earlier of (a) the date written notice is delivered by the Lessor or the Trustee to the Servicer or (b) the date an Authorized Officer of the Servicer obtains actual knowledge thereof, except to the extent that failure to remain in such compliance would not reasonably be expected to result in a Lease Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Lessor; or

 

(iv)                        if (I) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer relating to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral in any Series 2013-G1 Related Document is inaccurate or incorrect or is breached or is false or misleading as of the date of the making thereof or any schedule, certificate, financial statement, report, notice, or other writing relating to the Series 2013-G1 Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Servicer to the Lessor or the Trustee pursuant to any Series 2013-G1 Related Document is false or misleading on the date as of which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified, (II) such inaccuracy, breach or falsehood has a Lease Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Lessor, and (III) the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation, warranty or writing was inaccurate, incorrect, breached, false or misleading, as the case may be, shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured for at least thirty (30) consecutive days after the earlier of (x) the date of the receipt of written notice thereof from the Lessor or the Trustee to the Servicer and (y) the date an Authorized Officer of the Servicer obtains actual knowledge of such circumstance or condition.

 

28

 

In the event of a Servicer Default, the Trustee, acting pursuant to Section 9.23(d) of the Series 2013-G1 Supplement, shall have the right to replace the Servicer as servicer.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Servicer Default, if the event or condition giving rise (directly or indirectly) to such Servicer Default ceases to be continuing (through cure, waiver or otherwise), then such Servicer Default will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose under the Series 2013-G1 Related Documents.

 

9.7.                            Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds of any sale or other disposition pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 shall be applied by the Lessor in its discretion as the Lessor deems appropriate.

 

10.                               CERTIFICATION OF TRADE OR BUSINESS USE.  Each Lessee hereby warrants and certifies, under penalties of perjury, that it intends to use the Lease Vehicles that are subject to this Agreement in connection with its trade or business.

 

11.                               GUARANTY.

 

11.1.                     Guaranty.  In order to induce the Lessor to execute and deliver this Agreement and to lease Lease Vehicles hereunder to the Lessees, and in consideration thereof, the Guarantor hereby (i) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lessor the obligations of each of the Lessees to make any payments required to be made by them under this Agreement, (ii) agrees to cause each Lessee to duly and punctually perform and observe all of the terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and indemnities applicable to such Lessee under this Agreement, and (iii) agrees that, if for any reason whatsoever, any Lessee fails to so perform and observe such terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and indemnities, the Guarantor will duly and punctually perform and observe the same (the obligations referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above are collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  The liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor under the guaranty contained in this Section 11 (this “Guaranty”) will be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances.  The Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

 

11.2.                     Scope of Guarantor’s Liability.  The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty are independent of the obligations of the Lessees, any other guarantor or any other Person, and the Lessor may enforce any of its rights hereunder independently of any other right or remedy that the Lessor may at any time hold with respect to this Agreement or any security or other guaranty therefor.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lessor may bring a separate action against the Guarantor under this Guaranty without first proceeding against any of the Lessees, any other guarantor or any other Person, or any security held by the Lessor, and regardless of whether the Lessees or any other guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action.  The Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall at all times remain effective with respect to the full amount due from the Lessees hereunder.  The Lessor’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by any action taken by the Lessor until all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

 

11.3.                     Lessor’s Right to Amend; Assignment of Lessor’s Rights in Guaranty.  The Guarantor authorizes the Lessor, at any time and from time to time without notice and

 

29

 

without affecting the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, to: (a) accept new or additional instruments, documents, agreements, security or guaranties in connection with all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) accept partial payments on the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) release any Lessee, any guarantor or any other Person from any personal liability with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee.

 

11.4.                     Waiver of Certain Rights by Guarantor.  The Guarantor hereby waives each of the following to the fullest extent allowed by law:

 

(a)                                 any defense to its obligations under this Guaranty based upon:

 

1.                          the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations or the lack of perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

2.                          any act or omission of the Lessor or any other Person (other than a defense of payment or performance) that directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of any of the Lessees or any other Person or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; provided that, the Guarantor’s liability in respect of this Guaranty shall be released to the extent the Lessor expressly releases such Lessee or other Person, in a writing conforming to the requirements of Section 22, from any Guaranteed Obligations; or

 

3.                          any disability or any other defense of any Lessee or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (other than a defense of payment or performance), whether consensual or arising by operation of law or any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor-relief proceeding, or from any other cause;

 

(b)                                 any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require the Lessor, as a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty, to:

 

1.                          give notice to the Guarantor of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; or

 

2.                          proceed against any Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, or proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(c)                                  presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, including without limitation notices of default and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty;

 

(d)                                 all suretyship defenses and rights of every nature otherwise available under New York law and the laws of any other jurisdiction;

 

(e)                                  any right that the Guarantor has or may have to set-off with respect to any right to payment from any Lessee; and

 

30

 

(f)                                   all other rights and defenses the assertion or exercise of which would in any way diminish the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty (other than a defense of payment or performance).

 

(g)                                  Except as provided in Section 11.7, nothing express or implied in this Guaranty shall give any Person other than the Lessees, the Lessor, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Guarantor any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Guaranty.

 

11.5.                     Guarantor to Pay Lessor’s Expenses.  The Guarantor agrees to pay to the Lessor (or the Trustee), on demand, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional and paraprofessional fees, incurred by the Lessor (or the Trustee) in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Guaranty, or in the enforcement of this Guaranty, whether or not any action is filed in connection therewith.

 

11.6.                     Reinstatement.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the amounts payable by any Lessee under this Agreement is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lessor, upon an event of bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Lessee or the Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Lessee, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person, or any substantial part of their respective property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

11.7.                     Third-Party Beneficiaries.  The Guarantor acknowledges that the Trustee has accepted the assignment of the Lessor’s rights under this Agreement and that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Series 2013-G1 Noteholder and its assigns) shall be a third-party beneficiary under this Guaranty.

 

12.                               ADDITIONAL LESSEES.  Any Affiliate of the Guarantor (each, a “Permitted Lessee”) shall have the right to become a “Lessee” under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement by complying with the provisions of this Section 12.  If a Permitted Lessee desires to become a “Lessee” under this Agreement, then the Guarantor and such Permitted Lessee shall execute (if appropriate) and deliver to the Lessor and the Trustee:

 

12.1.                     a Joinder in Lease Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A (each, an “Affiliate Joinder in Lease”);

 

12.2.                     the certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents for such Permitted Lessee, duly certified by the Secretary of State of the jurisdiction of such Permitted Lessee’s incorporation or formation, together with a copy of the by-laws or other organizational documents of such Permitted Lessee, duly certified by a Secretary or Assistant Secretary or other Authorized Officer of such Permitted Lessee;

 

12.3.                     copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors or other authorizing action of such Permitted Lessee authorizing or ratifying the execution, delivery and performance, respectively, of those documents and matters required of it with respect to this Agreement, duly certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or other Authorized Officer of such Permitted Lessee;

 

31

 

12.4.                     a certificate of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or other Authorized Officer of such Permitted Lessee certifying the names of the individual or individuals authorized to sign the Affiliate Joinder in Lease and any other Series 2013-G1 Related Documents to be executed by it, together with samples of the true signatures of each such individual;

 

12.5.                     a good standing certificate for such Permitted Lessee in the jurisdiction of its organization;

 

12.6.                     an Officer’s Certificate stating that such joinder by such Permitted Lessee complies with this Section 12 and an opinion of counsel, which may be based on an Officer’s Certificate and is subject to customary exceptions and qualifications (including, without limitation, insolvency laws and principles of equity), stating that(a) all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 12 relating to such joinder by such Permitted Lessee have been complied with and (b) upon the due authorization, execution and delivery of such Affiliate Joinder in Lease by the parties thereto, such Affiliate Joinder in Lease will be enforceable against such Permitted Lessee;

 

12.7.                     an executed Grantor Supplement to the Collateral Agency Agreement pursuant to which such Permitted Lessee has granted a security interest in certain collateral for the benefit of the Lessor and the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee to secure such Permitted Lessees obligations hereunder if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this Agreement, this Agreement is characterized by any court of competent jurisdiction as a financing arrangement or as otherwise not constituting a true lease; and

 

12.8.                     any additional documentation that the Lessor or the Trustee may reasonably require to evidence the assumption by such Permitted Lessee of the obligations and liabilities set forth in this Agreement.

 

Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and receipt by such Permitted Lessee of the applicable Affiliate Joinder in Lease executed by the Lessor, such Permitted Lessee shall for all purposes be deemed to be a “Lessee” for purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Guaranty which is a part of this Agreement) and shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the liabilities and obligations of a Lessee hereunder.

 

13.                               LIENS AND ASSIGNMENTS.

 

13.1.                     Rights of Lessor Assigned to Trustee.  Each Lessee acknowledges that the Lessor has assigned or will assign all of its rights under this Agreement to the Trustee pursuant to the Series 2013-G1 Supplement.  Accordingly, each Lessee agrees that:

 

(i)                               subject to the terms of the Series 2013-G1 Supplement, the Trustee shall have all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Lessor hereunder and such Lessee’s obligations hereunder (including the payment of Rent and all other amounts payable hereunder) shall not be subject to any claim or defense that such Lessee may have against the Lessor (other than the defense of payment actually made) and shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any abatement, setoff, counterclaim, deduction or reduction for any reason whatsoever.  Specifically, each Lessee agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of

 

32

 

Default or HVF II Group I Liquidation Event, the Trustee may exercise (for and on behalf of the Lessor) any right or remedy against such Lessee provided for herein and such Lessee will not interpose as a defense that such claim should have been asserted by the Lessor;

 

(ii)                            upon the delivery by the Trustee of any notice to such Lessee stating that a Series 2013-G1 Operating Lease Event of Default or an HVF II Group I Liquidation Event has occurred, such Lessee will, if so requested by the Trustee, treat the Trustee for all purposes as the Lessor hereunder and in all respects comply with all obligations under this Agreement that are asserted by the Trustee, as the Lessor hereunder, irrespective of whether such Lessee has received any such notice from the Lessor; and

 

(iii)                         such Lessee acknowledges that pursuant to this Agreement it has agreed to make all payments of Rent hereunder (and any other payments hereunder) directly to the Trustee for deposit in the Series 2013-G1 Collection Account.

 

13.2.                     Right of the Lessor to Assign this Agreement.  The Lessor shall have the right to finance the acquisition and ownership of Lease Vehicles by selling or assigning its right, title and interest in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in moneys due from any Lessee and any third party under this Agreement, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders; provided, however, that any such sale or assignment shall be subject to the rights and interest of the Lessees in the Lease Vehicles, including but not limited to the Lessees’ right of quiet and peaceful possession of such Lease Vehicles as set forth in Section 5.3 hereof, and under this Agreement.

 

13.3.                     Limitations on the Right of the Lessees to Assign this Agreement.  No Lessee shall assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder to any other party; provided, however, that (i) each Lessee may rent the Lease Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder in connection with its business and may use and sublease Lease Vehicles pursuant to Section 5.2 and (ii) each Lessee may delegate to one or more of its Affiliates the performance of any of such Lessee’s obligations as Lessee hereunder (but such Lessee shall remain fully liable for its obligations hereunder).  Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 13.3 shall be void and of no force or effect.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of any Lessee to acquire or dispose of, by purchase, lease, financing, or otherwise, motor vehicles that are not subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

13.4.                     Liens.  The Lessor may grant security interests in the Lease Vehicles leased by any Lessee hereunder without consent of any Lessee or the Guarantor.  Except for Permitted Liens, each Lessee shall keep all Lease Vehicles free of all Liens arising during the Term.

In the event that any Lessee or the Servicer takes action in violation of this Section 15, the Lessor, the Nominee, RCFC or the Intermediary, as the case may be, agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Noteholders, that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a

Nothing herein contained shall affect the right of the Trustee and the Lessor to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or preclude the Lessor or the Trustee from bringing an action or proceeding in respect hereof in any other country, state or place having jurisdiction over such action. Each Lessee hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court located in the State of New York and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

17.                               GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAW.

27.                               THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES.

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers have entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2011 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of December 12, 2012 and as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrowers, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, GELCO as, as Administrative Agent, Domestic Collateral Agent and PRUSVI Collateral Agent and the other financial institutions party thereto;

 

WHEREAS, the Parent Borrower has requested that the Lenders consent to extend the date for delivery of the March 2014 Quarterly Financial Statements (as defined below) and certain other information required pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Credit Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the Parent Borrower has requested that the Lenders waive any Default, Specified Default or Event of Default that may arise directly or indirectly from or in connection with the failure to deliver the March 2014 Quarterly Financial Statements (and any certificates and other information required to be delivered concurrently therewith) on or prior to the Extended Delivery Date (as defined below) to the Lenders or in accordance with any agreement or condition relating to other Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement the Parent Borrower delivered annual and quarterly financial statements of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries from time to time on or prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “Previous THC Financial Statements”);

 

WHEREAS, as part of the process of completing the March 2014 Quarterly Financial Statements, the Parent Borrower is reviewing the Previous THC Financial Statements;

 

WHEREAS, the Parent Borrower does not currently know what action, if any, will be required to be taken as a result of such review, which has not yet been completed; however, it is possible that the Parent Borrower may restate one or more of the Previous THC Financial Statements and one or more financial statements or other financial information relating to any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower (such a restatement, if it were to occur, the “Restatement”);

 

WHEREAS, the Parent Borrower has requested that the Lenders waive any Default,

 

 

Specified Default or Event of Default (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) that may arise as a result of or in connection with the Restatement, if any, or any action taken or any failure to take action while any such Default, Specified Default or Event of Default was continuing to the extent such action or failure to take action would have been permitted but for the existence of such Default, Specified Default or Event of Default;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.                                           Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 2.                                           Waiver and Consent.

 

(a)                                 The Lenders hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the quarterly financial statements required to be delivered under Section 7.1(b) for the Parent Borrower’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 (the “March 2014 Quarterly Financial Statements”) and the certificates and other information required by Sections 7.1 and 7.2 to be delivered concurrently therewith need not be delivered on or prior to June 15, 2014 (such date, the “Extended Delivery Date”).

 

(b)                                 So long as the March 2014 Quarterly Financial Statements and the certificates and other information required to be delivered in connection therewith to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement are delivered on or prior to the Extended Delivery Date, the Lenders hereby waive any existing or future Default, Specified Default or Event of Default that may arise directly or indirectly (i) as a result of or in connection with the failure to deliver any of the March 2014 Quarterly Financial Statements, such certificates or other information, or (ii) under Section 9(e) of the Credit Agreement in connection with any failure to file or deliver quarterly reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the March 2014 Quarterly Financial Statements, or any financial statements or other financial information of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 (and any certificates and other information concurrently therewith) in accordance with any agreement or condition relating to any other Indebtedness.

 

(c)                                  The Lenders hereby waive, from the Consent Effective Date until the Extended Delivery Date, any Default, Specified Default or Event of Default that may arise, directly or indirectly, as a result of or in connection with the Restatement, if any, or any action taken or any failure to take action while any such Default, Specified Default or Event of Default was continuing to the extent such action or failure to take action would have been permitted but for the existence of such Default, Specified Default or Event of Default, including without limitation any Default, Specified Default or Event of Default that may arise directly or indirectly (i) from any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.7 of the Credit Agreement or of any other representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents, (ii) from any request for any Extension or Credit under the Credit Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of any such Default, Specified Default or Event of Default, (iii) from

any failure to comply with any covenant or other obligation under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Credit Agreement or with any other covenants and conditions in the Loan Documents and (iv) under Section 9(e) of the Credit Agreement or otherwise under Section 9 of the Credit Agreement, in each case as a result of or in connection with the Restatement, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the waiver in this Section 2(c) is a limited waiver for the period ending on the Extended Delivery Date and for the avoidance of doubt, after the Extended Delivery Date, unless otherwise waived, no such Default, Specified Default or Event of Default that arises directly or indirectly from the Restatement shall be deemed waived pursuant to this Section 2(c).

 

(d)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, until the Extended Delivery Date (i) each Lender shall continue to honor notices for Borrowing delivered in compliance with the Credit Agreement notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of the events described in this Section 2 and (ii) no Loan Party shall be required to deliver any notice pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise in connection with the occurrence or continuation of the events described in this Section 2.

 

Section 3.                                           Conditions to Effectiveness of Consent.  This Consent shall become effective on the date (such date, if any, the “Consent Effective Date”) the Administrative Agent shall have received this Consent executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Parent Borrower and the requisite Lenders set forth in Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice in writing to the Parent Borrower of the occurrence of the Consent Effective Date.

 

Section 4.                                           Effects on Loan Documents; Acknowledgement.

 

(a)                                 Except as expressly set forth herein, this Consent (i) shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Domestic Collateral Agent, PRUSVI Collateral Agent or the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.  Each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby ratified and re-affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect as modified hereby and nothing herein can or may be construed as a novation thereof.  Each Loan Party reaffirms on the Consent Effective Date its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party and the validity, enforceability and perfection of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Security Documents.  This Consent shall constitute a Loan Document for purposes of the Credit Agreement and from and after the Consent Effective Date, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Credit Agreement as modified by this Consent.

 

(b)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, this Consent does not constitute an acknowledgement by the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries that a Restatement, if any, would result in a Default,

Specified Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents and the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries reserve all of their respective rights under the Loan Documents in connection therewith.

 

Section 5.                                           Expenses.  The Parent Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for (1) all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Consent, any other documents prepared in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (2) the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Latham & Watkins LLP, as counsel to the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 6.                                           Counterparts.  This Consent may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Consent by facsimile or any other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

Section 7.                                           Applicable Law.  THIS CONSENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS CONSENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

 

Section 8.                                           Headings.  The headings of this Consent are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
