SECTION 2.2. Designation of
Beneficiaries; Beneficiaries’ Rights Limited. (a) Each of the
Trustee, RCFC, the Qualified Intermediary and any other Person who
from time to time executes a Financing Source and Beneficiary
Supplement as a beneficiary is hereby designated as a Beneficiary
with respect to the Master Collateral Vehicles designated on the
Master Servicer’s computer system as Master Collateral
Vehicles relating to such Beneficiary or as otherwise provided in a
Financing Source and Beneficiary Supplement with respect to such
Beneficiary (" Related Vehicles ") and the other Master
Collateral related thereto (the " Related Master Collateral
"). The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain or cause to be
established and maintained, in the name of the Master Collateral
Agent, a separate account in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof for
each Group of Segregated Collateral. The Master Servicer shall
designate Related Master Collateral as belonging to a Group of
Segregated Collateral, specifying the Group designated. The
designation of Related Vehicles with respect to each Beneficiary on
the Master Servicer’s computer system shall be considered
prima facie evidence of such Beneficiary’s rights with
respect to such Related Vehicles and the Related Master Collateral.
If at any time a Beneficiary reasonably believes that such
designation by the Master Servicer is incorrect, it may dispute
such designation by delivering a written notice to the Master
Collateral Agent setting forth its claim as to the correct
designation of its Related Vehicles (each a " Redesignation
"). The Master Collateral Agent shall, promptly upon receipt of
such notice, distribute a copy thereof to each Lessee Grantor,
RCFC, each Financing Source and each
16
Beneficiary (other than the Beneficiary disputing the Master
Servicer’s designation of Related Vehicles). Each such
Financing Source and Beneficiary shall, within ten (10) Business
Days of receipt of such notice from the Master Collateral Agent,
notify the Master Collateral Agent in writing as to whether it
consents to the disputing Beneficiary’s Redesignation. If the
Master Collateral Agent receives written notice from each such
Beneficiary and Financing Source containing its consent to the
disputing Beneficiary’s Redesignation within the period set
forth above, it shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the
Master Servicer shall effect such Redesignation. Each Beneficiary
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement only with
respect to its Related Vehicles and Related Master Collateral. No
Beneficiary shall have any interest in (i) any Master Collateral
Vehicle which is not a Related Vehicle as to such Beneficiary, (ii)
any funds in the Master Collateral Account that are proceeds of any
Master Collateral Vehicle which is not a Related Vehicle as to such
Beneficiary, (iii) rights under any Vehicle Disposition Program
with respect to any Master Collateral Vehicle which is not a
Related Vehicle as to such Beneficiary or (iv) any other Master
Collateral which is not Related Master Collateral as to such
Beneficiary, in each case regardless of the time, order, manner or
nature of attachment or perfection of security interests in Master
Collateral Vehicles (including the giving of or failure to give
notice of any purchase money security interest or other notice, or
the order of filing financing statements), or any provision of the
Uniform Commercial Code, the federal Bankruptcy Code, or other
applicable law.
(b) The Qualified Intermediary is designated (pursuant to a
Financing Source and Beneficiary Supplement executed by the
Qualified Intermediary) as a Beneficiary of (i) any Master
Collateral Vehicle that is an Exchanged Vehicle, (ii) any funds in
the Master Collateral Account that are proceeds of any Exchanged
Vehicle, (iii) any receivables in respect of disposition of any
Exchanged Vehicle, and (iv) any other Master Collateral that is
designated on the Master Servicer’s computer system as
Related Master Collateral for the Qualified Intermediary as
Beneficiary hereunder (collectively, the " QI Master
Collateral "). No other Beneficiary hereunder shall have any
right, title, or interest in, claim to or lien on the QI Master
Collateral.
SECTION 2.3. Redesignation of
Beneficiaries. RCFC, with respect to the RCFC Master Collateral
Vehicles, and each of the Lessee Grantors, with respect to the
Lessee Grantor Master Collateral Vehicles, may from time to time
refinance Master Collateral Vehicles related to a particular
Financing Source with proceeds from a different Financing Source.
In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall designate on its
computer system the Financing Source the proceeds of which are used
to finance or refinance such Master Collateral Vehicles, and, upon
repayment of the Financing Source being refinanced, (x) such Master
Collateral Vehicles shall automatically constitute Related Vehicles
of the specified Beneficiary or Beneficiaries related to such
refinancing Financing Source, and (y) such Master Collateral
Vehicles shall cease to be Related Vehicles of the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries related to the refinanced Financing Source. In
addition, the Master Servicer may from time to time redesignate on
its computer system, to a new Beneficiary related to a Financing
Source, one or more Master Collateral Vehicles that are Related
Vehicles of another Beneficiary related to such Financing Source,
if such related Vehicles have been designated to specific
Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the
Master Servicer to redesignate Master Collateral Vehicles that
will, after such a refinancing, cease to be Related Vehicles with
respect to a Financing Source or Beneficiary shall be subject to
the conditions that immediately after giving effect to such
redesignation:
17
-
-
(a) no Default shall
exist under the Financing Documents related to such Financing
Source or Beneficiary ( provided , however , that the
Master Servicer shall have the right to make such redesignation for
the purpose of curing such a Default); and
(b) Unless otherwise
specified in the Financing Source and Beneficiary Supplement
therefor, such Financing Source or Beneficiary shall have
designated to it Related Vehicles with a collateral value (as
determined, in accordance with the Financing Documents relating to
the Financing Source or with respect to such Beneficiary, by the
Person specified therein or, if no such Person is so specified, by
the Master Servicer) not less than the minimum collateral value
required in such Financing Documents to support the outstanding
loans or securities issued under such Financing Documents.
Each designation of a Beneficiary pursuant to Section 2.2
, and each redesignation by the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Section 2.3 , shall automatically constitute a
representation and warranty by the Master Servicer for the benefit
of the Beneficiary to which the Master Collateral Vehicle is being
designated or redesignated that (i) with respect to such a
redesignation, the conditions in Sections 2.3(a) and
2.3(b) have been met, (ii) with respect to such a
redesignation, the loans or securities of the original Financing
Source with respect to such refinanced Master Collateral Vehicles
have been repaid, and (iii) with respect to any such designation or
redesignation, all Related Vehicles of such Beneficiary constitute
Eligible Vehicles under the relevant Financing Documents. Master
Collateral Vehicles shall be redesignated hereunder at their
respective Net Book Values, calculated in accordance with the
Financing Documents relating to the Financing Source with respect
to the applicable Beneficiary. Except as provided in Section
2.5(c) , no Beneficiary shall have any interest in any Master
Collateral Vehicle or other Master Collateral for which it is no
longer designated as the Beneficiary, it being understood that,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Sections 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) and repayment of the loans
or securities of the original Financing Source with respect to
refinanced Master Collateral Vehicles, any such redesignation shall
automatically constitute a release by such Beneficiary of any
interest therein.
SECTION 2.4. Master Servicer’s
Fleet Report. (a) On or prior to the Reporting Date, the Master
Servicer shall furnish to the Master Collateral Agent a report
(which may be on diskette, magnetic tape or other electronic medium
acceptable to the Master Collateral Agent) substantially in the
form of Exhibit C (" Fleet Report "), showing for
each Financing Source and each Related Vehicle designated thereto,
as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month and
after giving effect to the most recent redesignation of Master
Collateral Vehicles as of such last day, (i) the related
Beneficiary and the Group in respect thereof, (ii) whether such
Related Vehicle is a Lessee Grantor Master Collateral Vehicle or an
RCFC Master Collateral Vehicle, (iii) the last eight digits of the
vehicle identification numbers with respect to such Related
Vehicle, and (iv) the Capitalized Cost and Net Book Value of such
Related Vehicle (calculated in accordance with the Financing
Documents relating to the applicable Financing Source). The Master
Collateral Agent shall make the Fleet Report available for
inspection by any Financing Source or Beneficiary at the Corporate
Trust Office, during normal business hours, upon such Financing
Source or Beneficiary’s written request. Each Fleet Report
shall, upon delivery thereof to the Master Collateral Agent, become
Exhibit C hereto and shall replace and supersede all prior
Fleet Reports in such capacity. The Master Collateral Agent’s
sole responsibility with respect to such Fleet Report shall be
custodial.
18
(b) Reporting; Designation . In connection with the
identification of one or more Exchanged Vehicles proposed to be
redesignated to the Qualified Intermediary under an Exchange
Program, the Master Servicer shall prepare the information for
reporting on the Reporting Date on a Group by Group basis and upon
the exchange of Exchanged Vehicles make the designations in the
Master Servicer’s computer system and, if necessary, instruct
the Trustee under item (vi) below as to the following:
|
|
(i)
|
the VIN and current Net Book Value of each
proposed Exchanged Vehicle;
|
(ii) the
VIN and Capitalized Cost or Net Book Value of each Vehicle,
including Replacement Vehicles, if any, to be designated as
belonging to a particular Group and as related to the Financing
Source and Beneficiaries in substitution for the proposed Exchanged
Vehicles;
(iii) the Substitute
Exchanged Vehicle Proceeds Amount to be transferred from each
Excess Funding Account for each Series of Notes (as defined in the
related Series Supplement) within a Group to the Collection Account
for each such Series of Notes;
(iv) the increase in
Exchange Agreement Rights Value to be designated to the Financing
Source and Beneficiaries in substitution for the proposed Exchanged
Vehicles, and the amount by which Disposition Proceeds received in
respect of Exchanged Vehicles are less than the Net Book Value,
(such amount, if positive to be treated as Losses under Financing
Documents for a Series of Notes, if so specified in such Financing
Documents) of such Exchanged Vehicles;
(v) a
calculation setting forth the sum of items (ii), (iii) and (iv)
above as at least equaling the aggregate Net Book Values of the
proposed Exchanged Vehicles under item (i) above; plus any Losses
identified in item (iv) above; and
(vi) an instruction to
the Trustee to make the transfers in item (iii) above and to the
Master Collateral Agent and Servicer on its behalf (pursuant to
Section 2.7 of this Agreement) to release its lien on the
Exchanged Vehicles and any Certificates of Title related thereto at
the time of the transfers and designations in items (ii), (iii) and
(iv) above.
Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
designate the substitute Vehicles, including Replacement Vehicles,
and Exchange Agreement Rights Value in its computer system as
Master Collateral related to the Financing Source and Beneficiaries
tendering the Exchanged Vehicles (including the proper Group of
Segregated Collateral), while simultaneously designating the
Exchanged Vehicles and all proceeds thereof as QI Master Collateral
related to the Qualified Intermediary as Beneficiary.
Aggregate information with respect to the above will be reported
to the Trustee, the Master Collateral Agent and others specified in
the Financing Documents for each Group and Series of Notes within
each Group on the Reporting Date.
SECTION 2.5. Master Collateral

establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained,

19
shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and
maintained, in the name of the Master Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the named Beneficiary, one or more accounts for each
Group of Segregated Collateral (the " Group Collateral

Master Collateral Account ") into which shall be deposited
the Master Collateral and proceeds thereof designated as belonging
to such Group. Each Master Collateral Account shall bear a
designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
held for the respective benefit of the named Beneficiary and sole
dominion and control over each Master Collateral Account shall be
