the Lockbox
Accounts solely to the extent such Remittances represent Other
Assets and subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) Nothing
herein shall be deemed to waive any rights of any Financing Agent
in the event of any transfer or other disposition of Financing
Assets, as the case may be, in violation of the agreements relating
thereto or to preclude the exercise by any Financing Agent of
rights and remedies provided for under the Financing Documents
related to the Remittances related to such Financing Agent, as

account other than the Lockbox Accounts without the prior written
consent of each other Financing Agent that would be affected
thereby and, in the case of Other Assets, the Originator, as
applicable.
(d) In
exercising any of its rights or remedies under the Financing
Documents, as applicable, with respect to any right, title and
interest of the Originator as lessee, licensee or otherwise, in and

of any other party to use such property in connection with the
transactions contemplated under the Financing Documents, as
applicable. The parties acknowledge that such property may be
necessary to or useful in the servicing, administration and
collection of all of the Financing Assets and agree to cooperate in

preserved.
Section 2. Separation of Collateral .
(a) Each
Financing Agent hereby agrees promptly to transfer and return to,
or in accordance with the directions of, any other applicable
Financing Agent or the Originator (as applicable), at such account
or other place as the appropriate other Financing Agent or the
Originator (as applicable) may instruct, any funds or other
property that are received by such Financing Agent and that are
identifiable by such Financing Agent, using reasonable efforts, or
that are identified by the Originator, the Original Servicer (or a
Successor Servicer, if applicable), the Lockbox Servicer, the Owner
or another Financing Agent, in each case, as not constituting
Financing Assets (or portions thereof) in which such Financing
Agent has been granted an interest pursuant to its applicable
Financing Documents but instead constituting (x) Financing
Assets (or portions thereof) other than those in which such
Financing Agent has been granted an interest under its Financing
Documents or (y) Other Assets. For purposes of maintaining the
perfection of the other Financing Agent’s (as applicable)
interest therein, the other Financing Agents each hereby appoint
such Financing Agent as its agent in respect of such funds and
other property; provided , that such Financing
Agent’s sole duty as such agent shall be to hold such funds
or other property for the benefit of the applicable Financing Agent
and to transfer such funds or other property to or at the direction
of such other Financing Agent (as applicable) as aforesaid. To the
extent any Financing Agent fails to promptly comply with its
obligations to return funds or other property as provided in this

distributions
that would otherwise be made to such Financing Agent may be paid
(on behalf of such Financing Agent at the instruction of the
Originator or such Financing Agent) to such other Financing Agent
or the Originator until such Financing Agent’s obligation to
return such funds or other property is satisfied (whether by return
of such funds or other property or through subsequent
distributions), and each Financing Agent hereby agrees to and
authorizes the application of such payments and the rights of the
Originator or the applicable Financing Agent, as applicable, to
cause such application.
(b) Each of
the Originator, the Original Servicer, the Lockbox Servicer and the
Owner hereby agrees promptly to transfer and return to, or in
accordance with the directions of, the applicable Financing Agent,
at such account or other place as such Financing Agent may
instruct, any funds or other property that are received by the
Originator, the Original Servicer, the Lockbox Servicer or the
Owner, and that are identifiable by the Originator, the Original
Servicer, the Lockbox Servicer or the Owner, using reasonable
efforts, or that are identified by any Financing Agent, in each
case, as not constituting Other Assets but instead constituting
Financing Assets (or proceeds thereof). For purposes of maintaining
the perfection of the respective Financing Agent’s interest
therein, the applicable Financing Agents each hereby appoint the
Originator, the Original Servicer, the Lockbox Servicer or the
Owner, as applicable, as their agent in respect of any such funds
and other property. The Originator, the Original Servicer, the
Lockbox Servicer or the Owner, as such agent, shall hold such funds
or other property for the benefit of the applicable Financing Agent
and transfer such funds or other property to or at the direction of
such Financing Agent as aforesaid. To the extent the Originator
fails to promptly comply with its obligations to return funds or
other property as provided in this Section 2(b) ,
subsequent distributions that would otherwise be made to the
Originator shall be paid (on behalf of the Originator and the
Originator hereby directs such amounts to be paid as described
herein) to any applicable Financing Agent (or, pro rata among any
applicable group of Financing Agents) until the Originator’s
obligation to return such funds or other property is satisfied
(whether by return of such funds or other property or through
subsequent distributions), and the Originator hereby agrees to and
authorizes the application of such payments and the rights of the
applicable Financing Agent or Financing Agents to cause such
application.
(c) Each
Financing Agent hereby acknowledges that certain related records
and other files (including electronic files), documentation,
software and similar assets may comprise a portion of the Financing
Assets inapplicable to that Financing Agent and/or Other Assets.
Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate in good faith such
that the respective interests of the applicable Financing Agent (or
further assignees thereof) in such assets shall be protected and
preserved and, without limiting the obligations of any party
hereto, each party hereto agrees to permit each other reasonable
access to such assets (to the extent they shall be in the
possession or control of such party) as shall be necessary or
desirable to manage and realize on the Financing Assets or the
Other Assets, as the case may be. Except as otherwise provided in
the immediately preceding sentence, in the event that any of the
Financing Assets or the Other Assets become commingled, then each
of the Financing Agents shall, in good faith, cooperate with each
other to identify and separate any such commingled Financing Assets
or the Other Assets, as applicable.
(d) The
out–of–pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
parties hereto to effect any identification, separation and/or

Original
Servicer or the Originator (at their own expense) shall be borne by

Section 2 to take any action that it believes, in good
faith, may prejudice its ability to realize the value of, or to
otherwise protect, its interests (and the interests of the parties
for which it acts) in the applicable Financing Assets or the Other
Assets, respectively; provided , that nothing in this
sentence shall relieve the Originator or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates of its obligations hereunder or under the Financing
Documents, as applicable, with respect to the Financing Assets
notwithstanding any effect thereof on the Other Assets or the
rights or interests of the Originator or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates therein or thereto.

The Originator
and the Owner agree that the Lockbox and the Lockbox Accounts shall

(c) The
Lockbox Bank’s authorized representatives will have sole
access to the Lockbox, and neither the Originator nor any of its
affiliates (including, without limitation, the

Owner) shall
have any authority to cancel or alter the name, address, location
and other terms of the Lockbox without the prior written consent of
all the parties hereto. Items will be endorsed, credited to the
Lockbox Accounts and presented for payment in accordance with the
Standard Terms and Conditions as attached as Exhibit A
to and made a part of the Lockbox Agreement.
(d) The
Original Servicer is hereby designated as the initial Lockbox
Servicer. The Original Servicer confirms to each of the parties
hereto that all actions of the Original Servicer taken hereunder
and under the Lockbox Agreement with respect to Remittances
received in the Lockbox or Lockbox Accounts shall be in its
capacity as servicer under the applicable Financing Documents or
hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Original Servicer
(or any Successor Servicer (as defined below)), shall (within two
(2) business days of receipt of the associated remittance
details) determine and identify the portion of such Remittance
received in the Lockbox or Lockbox Accounts that represents the
Financing Assets (“ Financing Remittances ”) and
the portion that represents Other Assets (“ Other
Remittances ”). To the extent such Remittances constitute
Financing Remittances, the Original Servicer shall determine which
Financing each portion of such Financing Remittances relate to and
cause the transfer of such funds, to the extent it is permitted to
do so pursuant to Section 3(e)(1) below, to the appropriate
collection account in accordance with (and within the time frames
specified by) the related Financing Documents. In addition, the
Original Servicer (or a Successor Servicer) shall determine whether
any amounts in the Lockbox Accounts do not constitute Remittances
with respect to either Financing Assets or Other Assets, but have
nonetheless been paid or deposited thereto by a customer in error
(“ Misdirected Payments ”). The Original
Servicer (or a Successor Servicer) shall provide notice to the
Lockbox Servicer (if a separate entity) of the amounts of the
payments to be made to each Financing Agent and the Originator, as
applicable, and of any Misdirected Payments (such notice being an
“ Allocation Notice ”), which amounts shall be
determined in accordance with this Section 3(d). For purposes
of this Agreement, portions of Financing Remittances that relate to
each Financing and the Other Remittances shall each constitute a
“ Type ” of Remittance and the category of
Obligations (or portion thereof) to which such Remittance relates
constituting a “ Type ” of
Obligation.
Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees that:
|
|
(1)
|
|
if
the Original Servicer is terminated or has resigned its role as
servicer under any of the applicable Financing Documents,
or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
|
if
the funds in the Lockbox or Lockbox Accounts become subject to any
seizure, freeze application, or enforcement of any security
interest adverse to the interests of any Financing Agent
|
(each of the
events in clause (1) and (2) being a “ Lockbox
Trigger Event ”), then in any such case this Agreement
and the Lockbox Agreement shall continue to remain in full force
and effect and a successor servicer to the Original Servicer
hereunder shall be appointed by delivery of joint written notice
from both (a) the Financing Agents representing holders of at
least 66.67% of the Financing Assets that are part of financings
that are term securitizations and (b) the Financing Agents
representing holders of at least 66.67% of the Financing Assets
that are part of financings that are not term securitizations, each
as determined from the most recent Financing Asset Report (as
defined below) delivered by the Originator (such Financing Agents
being the

Requisite Financing Agents ”), to the Originator (with
a copy to the Lockbox Bank) identifying such successor servicer,
together with such successor servicer’s written acceptance of
such appointment, and such successor servicer (being referred to
herein as the “ Successor Servicer ”) shall
thereupon succeed to all rights, benefits, duties and obligations
of the Original Servicer hereunder, to the extent the same relate
to the giving of disbursement instructions above.
Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees that if the Lockbox Bank’s
short-term debt rating is reduced below “F-1” by Fitch,
Inc., then in any such case this Agreement and the Lockbox
Agreement shall continue to remain in full force and effect and a
successor lockbox bank to the initial Lockbox Box hereunder shall
be appointed by delivery of joint written notice from each
Financing Agent then party to this Agreement pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3(h)
hereof.
In the event a
customer with respect to an Obligation of one Type is also a
customer with respect to any other Type of Obligation, and one or
more Remittances related to such customer are in the Lockbox
Accounts at any one time, the Original Servicer (or a Successor
Servicer, if applicable) shall determine which Remittances relate
to which Type, and shall also determine how such Remittances are to
be allocated, in accordance with the allocation rules described
below (unless otherwise specified in writing by the customer in
respect of that customer’s Remittance, in which case the
Remittance shall be allocated in accordance with such customer
specification to the extent that none of the parties hereto object
to such specification):
(i) First, to
all past due payments, if any, with respect to each Obligation of
such customer, without regard to Type (but subject to the
proviso below);
(ii) Second,
to the minimum payment due in the current payment period with
respect to each Obligation of such customer, without regard to Type
(but subject to the proviso below); and
(iii) Third,
to the remaining outstanding balance of each Obligation of such
customer, without regard to Type (but subject to the proviso
below);
provided , that if in allocating Remittances in
accordance with the above,
(x) the
Remittances to be allocated are in respect of more than one Type,
