THIS SERIES 2007-1 SUPPLEMENT, dated as of May 23, 2007 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Base Indenture referred to below, this “Supplement”) between RENTAL CAR FINANCE CORP., a special purpose Oklahoma corporation (“RCFC” or the “Issuer”), and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, a New York banking corporation (together with its successors in trust thereunder as provided in the Base Indenture referred to below, the “Trustee”), to the Amended and Restated Base Indenture, dated as of February 14, 2007, between RCFC and the Trustee (as the same may be further amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, exclusive of Supplements creating a new Series of Notes, the “Base Indenture”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Sections 2.2, 2.3, 11.1 and 11.3 of the Base Indenture provide, among other things, that RCFC and the Trustee may at any time and from time to time enter into a Series Supplement to the Base Indenture for the purpose of authorizing the issuance of one or more Series of Notes;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

DESIGNATION

Section 1.1        Designation.(a) There is hereby created a Series of Notes to be issued pursuant to the Base Indenture and this Supplement and such Series of Notes shall be designated generally as Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Series 2007-1. The Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Series 2007-1, shall be issued in one class: the Class A Floating Rate Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, designated herein as the “Class A Notes”.

(b)      The net proceeds from the sale of the Series 2007-1 Notes shall be deposited into the Group IV Collection Account, and shall be used on and after the Series 2007-1 Closing Date, to acquire Group IV Vehicles that are Acquired Vehicles from certain Eligible Manufacturers, Auctions or otherwise or to refinance the same and, in certain circumstances, to pay principal on amortizing Group IV Series of Notes other than the Series 2007-1 Notes.

(c)      The Series 2007-1 Notes are a Segregated Series of Notes (as more fully described in the Base Indenture) and are hereby designated as a “Group IV Series of Notes”. On March 28, 2006, RCFC and the Trustee also entered into a supplement (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1, dated as of February 14, 2007, and that certain Amendment No. 2, dated as of May 23, 2007, and as the same may be further amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Series 2006-1 Supplement”) to the Base Indenture pursuant to which RCFC issued a segregated Series of Notes (the “Series 2006-1 Notes”) designated as a “Group IV Series of Notes.” The Issuer may, with the prior written consent of the Series 2007-1 Insurer, from time to time issue additional segregated Series of Notes (the Series 2006-1 Notes, the 2007-1 Notes and any such additional

Series, each, a “Group IV Series of Notes” and, collectively, the “Group IV Series of Notes”) that the related Series Supplements will indicate are entitled to share, together with the Series 2006-1 Notes, Series 2007-1 Notes and any other Group IV Series of Notes, in the Group IV Collateral and any other Collateral and Master Collateral designated as security for the Series 2006-1 Notes, the Series 2007-1 Notes and such other Group IV Series of Notes under this Supplement, the Series Supplement related to the Series 2006-1 Notes, the Series Supplement related to such other Group IV Series of Notes and the Master Collateral Agency Agreement. Accordingly, all references in this Supplement to “all” Series of Notes (and all references in this Supplement to terms defined in the Base Indenture that contain references to “all” Series of Notes) shall refer to all Group IV Series of Notes.

(d)      If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.1 and the provisions of Section 2.2 of the Master Collateral Agency Agreement, the Series 2007-1 Notes are determined by any court to be secured by collateral, other than the Group IV Collateral and any other collateral designated as security for the Series 2007-1 Notes (and, as applicable, any other Series of Group IV Notes) under this Supplement or any other supplement to the Base Indenture relating to the issuance of any other Series of Group IV Notes thereunder or under the Master Collateral Agency Agreement or any other Related Document (such collateral other than as specified, the “Non-Group IV Collateral”), then the interest of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders in such Non-Group IV Collateral shall be subordinate in all respects to the interests of the Noteholders of the Series of Notes (other than with respect to collections designated by RCFC as shared collections allocable to the Series 2007-1 Notes) to which such Non-Group IV Collateral was pledged by the terms of the Base Indenture, the Master Collateral Agency Agreement or any other Related Document. The following shall govern the interpretation and construction of the provisions of this Supplement: (i) this Section 1.1(d) is intended to constitute a subordination agreement under New York law and for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) the subordination provided for in this Section 1.1(d) is intended to and shall be deemed to constitute a “complete subordination” under New York law, and, as such, shall be applicable whether or not the Issuer or any Series 2007-1 Noteholder is a debtor in a case (a “bankruptcy case”) under the Bankruptcy Code (or any amended or successor version thereof), (iii) (A) any reference to the Series 2007-1 Notes shall include all obligations of the Issuer now or hereafter existing under each of such Series 2007-1 Notes, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, and (B) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, “interest” owing on the Series 2007-1 Notes shall expressly include any and all interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy case or other insolvency proceeding where the Issuer is the debtor, notwithstanding any provision or rule of law (including, without limitation, 11 U.S.C. §§ 502, 506(b) (1994) (or any amended or successor version thereof)) that might restrict the rights of any holder of an interest in the Series 2007-1 Notes, as against the Issuer or any one else, to collect such interest, (iv) “payments” prohibited under the subordination provisions of this Section 1.1(d) shall include any distributions of any type, whether cash, other debt instruments, or any equity instruments, regardless of the source thereof, and (v) the holder of any interest in the Series 2007-1 Notes retains such holder’s right, under 11 U.S.C. § 1126 (1994) (or any amended or successor version thereof), to vote to accept or reject any plan of reorganization proposed for the Issuer in any subsequent bankruptcy of the Issuer; provided, however, that, regardless of any such vote or of the exercise of any other rights such holder (or its agents) may have under the Bankruptcy Code, and without limiting the generality of the other clauses of this Section 1.1 (d), any distributions that such holder is to receive on account of such holder’s

interest in the Series 2007-1 Notes under any such plan of reorganization, from the Issuer, from any collateral, from any guarantor, or from any other source shall be subordinated in right of payment as set forth herein and shall instead be distributed in the order of priority set forth herein.

Sections 4.1 through 4.5 of the Base Indenture shall be read in their entirety as provided in the Base Indenture, provided that for purposes of the Series 2007-1 Notes, clauses (c), (d) and (e) of Section 4.2 of the Base Indenture shall be modified as permitted by Section 11.1(f) of the Base Indenture and shall read as follows:

(c) Right of Master Servicer to Deduct Fees. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary but subject to any limitations set forth in the applicable Supplement, as long as (x) the Master Servicer is DTAG or an Affiliate of DTAG and (y) the Retained Interest Amount equals or exceeds zero, the Master Servicer (i) may make or cause to be made deposits of Collections to the Group IV Collection Account net of any amounts which are allocable to the Retained Distribution Account and represent amounts due and owing to it in its capacity as Master Servicer and (ii) need not deposit or cause to be deposited any amounts to be paid to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.2 and such amounts will be deemed paid to the Master Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 4.2.

(d) Sharing Collections. To the extent that Principal Collections that are allocated to the Series 2007-1 Notes on a Payment Date are not needed to make payments of principal to Series 2007-1 Noteholders or required to be deposited in the Series 2007-1 Distribution Account on such Payment Date, such Principal Collections may, at the direction of the Master Servicer, be applied to cover principal payments due to or for the benefit of Noteholders of other Group IV Series of Notes. Any such reallocation will not result in a reduction of the Aggregate Principal Balance or the Series 2007-1 Invested Amount.

(e) Unallocated Principal Collections. If, after giving effect to Section 4.2(d), Principal Collections allocated to the Series 2007-1 Notes on any Payment Date are in excess of the amount required to pay amounts due in respect of the Series 2007-1 Notes or to the Series 2007-1 Insurer on such Payment Date in full, then any such excess Principal Collections shall be allocated in accordance with Section 4.7(a)(i)(C) or 4.7(b)(i)(C) of the Series 2007-1 Supplement, if applicable, otherwise to the Retained Distribution Account (provided that no Series 2007-1 Enhancement Deficiency or Asset Amount Deficiency exists or would result from such allocation).

In addition, for purposes of Section 4.2(a) of the Base Indenture, the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under the Master Lease shall cause all Collections allocable to Group IV Collateral in accordance with the Indenture and the Master Collateral Agency

Agreement, as applicable, to be paid directly into the Group IV Collection Account or the Master Collateral Account, as applicable.

Article 4 of the Base Indenture (except for Sections 4.1 through 4.5 thereof subject to the proviso in the first paragraphs of this Article 4 and the immediately preceding sentence) shall read in its entirety as follows and shall be applicable only to the Series 2007-1 Notes:

Section 4.6        Establishment of Group IV Collection Account, Series 2007-1 Collection Account, Series 2007-1 Excess Funding Account and Series 2007-1 Accrued Interest Account.(a) The Trustee has created an administrative sub-account within the Collection Account for the benefit of holders of Notes from a Group IV Series of Notes, the issuer of a note guaranty insurance policy with respect to the Series 2006-1 Notes and the Series 2007-1 Insurer (such sub-account, the “Group IV Collection Account”). In addition, the Trustee shall create two administrative sub-accounts within the Collection Account. One such sub-account shall be established for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and the Series 2007-1 Insurer (such sub-account, the “Series 2007-1 Collection Account”). The second sub-account shall be established for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and the Series 2007-1 Insurer (such sub-account, the “Series 2007-1 Excess Funding Account”). A portion of funds on deposit in the Series 2007-1 Excess Funding Account may, on the Series 2007-1 Closing Date and from time to time thereafter, be designated by RCFC as either (i) the Cash Liquidity Amount or (ii) the Substitute Group IV Exchanged Vehicle Proceeds Amount. These designated amounts shall be available only for the purposes specified herein and shall not be otherwise generally available for withdrawal to be used for the purposes of other funds in the Series 2007-1 Excess Funding Account.

(b)      The Trustee will further divide the Series 2007-1 Collection Account by creating an additional administrative sub-account for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and the Series 2007-1 Insurer (such sub-account, the “Series 2007-1 Accrued Interest Account”). As directed by the Master Servicer, required pursuant to Section 4.18 hereof or otherwise required hereunder, the Trustee will further divide the Series 2007-1 Excess Funding Account by creating an additional administrative sub-account for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and the Series 2007-1 Insurer (such sub-account, the “Series 2007-1 Cash Liquidity Account”).

(c)      All Collections in respect of the Group IV Collateral and allocable to the Group IV Series of Notes and the Series 2007-1 Insurer shall be allocated to the Group IV Collection Account. All Collections in the Group IV Collection Account allocable to the Series 2007-1 Notes, the Series 2007-1 Insurer and the Series 2007-1 Available Subordinated Amount shall be allocated to the Series 2007-1 Collection Account or the Series 2007-1 Excess Funding Account as provided below; provided, however, the Trustee shall also deposit all amounts required to be deposited in the Series 2007-1 Cash Liquidity Account as provided hereinbelow and such amounts on deposit in the Series 2007-1 Cash Liquidity Account shall only be available for application as provided in Sections 4.8(c) and 4.9, and shall not be available to be withdrawn in respect of amounts otherwise to be withdrawn from the Series 2007-1 Excess Funding Account pursuant to the Base Indenture, this Supplement or any other Series Supplement.

Section 4.7        Allocations with Respect to the Series 2007-1 Notes. All allocations in this Section 4.7 will be made in accordance with written direction of the Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide written direction, in accordance with the written direction of the Series 2007-1 Insurer (which the Series 2007-1 Insurer may provide in its sole discretion). The proceeds from the sale of the Series 2007-1 Notes, together with any funds deposited with RCFC by DTAG in its capacity as the Retained Interestholder, will, on the Series 2007-1 Closing Date, be deposited by the Trustee into the Group IV Collection Account and, concurrently with such initial deposit, allocated by the Trustee to the Series 2007-1 Excess Funding Account. On each Business Day on which Collections are deposited into the Group IV Collection Account (each such date, a “Series 2007-1 Deposit Date”), the Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer shall fail to so direct the Trustee, the Series 2007-1 Insurer will direct the Trustee in writing to allocate all amounts deposited into the Group IV Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.7. If the Series 2007-1 Insurer elects in its sole discretion, to provide to the Trustee any direction under this Section 4.7, the Series 2007-1 Insurer shall provide to the Master Servicer one (1) Business Day prior written notice thereof; provided, that the failure of the Series 2007-1 Insurer to provide such notice to the Master Servicer shall not effect the Series 2007-1 Insurer’s right to provide direction to the Trustee.

On such Payment Date, the Trustee shall withdraw such amount from the Series 2007-1 Accrued Interest Account and remit such amount to RCFC.

(c)       Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, the Master Servicer or the Series 2007-1 Insurer, as applicable, shall, after directing all distributions required to be made pursuant to Sections 4.8(a) and (b) of this Supplement or in the event that on the related Determination Date DTAG or any Affiliate thereof shall no longer be the Master Servicer, prior to such distributions being made (or if in addition to the foregoing the Series 2007-1 Rapid Amortization Period has also commenced, prior to making all distributions required to be made pursuant to Section 4.8(a) of this Supplement but after making all distributions required to be made pursuant to Section 4.8(b)), instruct in writing the Trustee to withdraw from the Series 2007-1 Accrued Interest Account, for payment to the Master Servicer, an amount equal to (a) the Series 2007-1 Investor Monthly Servicing Fee and any Series 2007-1 Monthly Supplemental Servicing Fee accrued during the preceding Series 2007-1 Interest Period, plus (b) all accrued and unpaid Series 2007-1 Investor Monthly Servicing Fees and any accrued and unpaid Series 2007-1 Monthly Supplemental Servicing Fees, minus (c) the amount of any Series 2007-1 Investor Monthly Servicing Fees and Series 2007-1 Monthly Supplemental Servicing Fees withheld by the Master Servicer pursuant to the Base Indenture.

56

funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Payment Date. The Trustee shall hold, for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and the Series 2007-1 Insurer, possession of any negotiable instruments or securities evidencing the Permitted Investments from the time of purchase thereof until the time of maturity.

(c)      Earnings from Series 2007-1 Distribution Account.

The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2007-1 Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof.

(b)    In the event that on any Payment Date on which (x) a Demand Notice has been transmitted to the issuer of the Demand Note on the related Determination Date pursuant to Section 4.15(a) above and the Demand Note issuer shall have failed to deposit into the Series 2007-1 Collection Account the amount specified in such Demand Notice on or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Payment Date, (y) a Demand Notice for payment by the issuer of the Demand Note could be transmitted to the issuer of the Demand Note on the related Determination Date pursuant to Section 4.15(a) above, but has been prevented from being transmitted or, if so transmitted, the issuer of the Demand Note has been prevented from making any payment thereunder, as a result of the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or (z) a payment made by the issuer of the Demand Note under the Demand Note pursuant to Section 4.15(a) above has been avoided and recovered pursuant to Sections 547 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code on or before such Payment Date, then, so long as the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit shall not have been terminated, the Trustee shall, by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day, draw on the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit by presenting a draft in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) (i) that portion of the amount demanded under the Demand Note as specified in Section 4.15(a) above that has not been deposited into the Series 2007-1 Collection Account as of 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Payment Date, in the case of clause (x) above, (ii) the amount of the stayed demand for payment in the case of clause (y) above or (iii) the amount avoided and recovered in the case of clause (z) above and (2) the Available Draw Amount, in each case accompanied by a Certificate of Credit Demand. The proceeds of such draw shall be and deposited in the Series 2007-1 Distribution Account and the Series 2007-1 Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 4.10(b) or (c) of this Supplement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall notify each Rating Agency of the amount of any draw on the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit on account of Demand Note claim amounts not later than five (5) Business Days after the date of such draw.

(A)                any such successor institution or other form of substitute credit enhancement referred to in the foregoing clauses (B) and (C) shall be approved by each Rating Agency; and

(B)                any such successor institution or other form of substitute credit enhancement referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii)(C) shall, if the short-term debt credit ratings with respect to such substitute credit enhancement, if applicable, are less than “P-1” or the equivalent from Moody’s or “A-1” or the equivalent from Standard & Poor’s be approved by the Required Series 2007-1 Noteholders;

then the Master Servicer shall or, if the Master Servicer shall fail to do so, the Series 2007-1 Insurer may, in its sole discretion, notify the Trustee and, in the case of notice from the Master Servicer, the Series 2007-1 Insurer in writing pursuant to the Master Lease no later than one Business Day prior to the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Expiration Date of (i) the Series 2007-1 Invested Amount on such date, and (ii) the amount available to be drawn on the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit on such date. Upon receipt of such notice by the Trustee on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, the Trustee shall, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day (or, in the case of any notice given to the Trustee after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next following Business Day), draw the lesser of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above on the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit by presenting a draft accompanied by a Certificate of Termination Demand and shall deposit the proceeds of the disbursement resulting therefrom in a special deposit account (the “Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account”).

(b)    The Master Servicer shall or, if the Master Servicer shall fail to do so, the Series 2007-1 Insurer may, in its sole discretion, notify the Trustee and, in the case of notice from the Master Servicer, the Series 2007-1 Insurer in writing pursuant to the Master Lease within one Business Day of becoming aware that the short-term debt credit rating of the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider has fallen below “P-1” in the case of Moody’s or “A-1” in the case of Standard & Poor’s. At such time the Master Servicer or the Series 2007-1 Insurer, as applicable, shall also notify the Trustee of (i) the Series 2007-1 Invested Amount on such date, and (ii) the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Amount on such date. Upon the 30th Business Day following receipt of such notice by the Trustee if the condition described in the first sentence of this Section 4.16(b) shall remain in effect on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, unless the Master Servicer shall have obtained a new letter of credit, substantially in the form of the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit and provided by an entity with short-term debt credit ratings of at least “P-1” in the case of Moody’s and “A-1” in the case of Standard & Poor’s and, the Trustee shall, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day (or, in the case of any notice given to the Trustee after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), by 1:00 p.m. (New

Section 4.17              The Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account. . (a) Upon receipt of notice of a draw on the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.16, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and the Series 2007-1 Insurer, or cause to be established and maintained, the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and the Series 2007-1 Insurer. The Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account. If the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account is not maintained in accordance with the prior sentence, then within ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such fact, the Master Servicer has agreed pursuant to the Master Lease that it shall establish a new Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account which complies with such sentence and shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer into the new Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account. When established, the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account is intended to function in all respects as the replacement for, and the equivalent of, the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit. Accordingly, following its creation, each reference to a draw on the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit shall refer to withdrawals from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account and references to similar terms shall mean and be a reference to actions taken with respect to the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account that correspond to actions that otherwise would have been taken with respect to the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon funding of the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account, the Trustee shall, at all times when otherwise required to make a draw under the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.14 or 4.15 of this Supplement, make a withdrawal from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account in the amount and at such time as a draw would be made under the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.14 or 4.15 of this Supplement. The Trustee shall provide written notice to DTAG of any withdrawal from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 4.14 or 4.15 of this Supplement.

(b)    In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the obligations of RCFC with respect to the Series 2007-1 Notes (but not any other Series of Notes), RCFC hereby assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and the Series 2007-1 Insurer, all of RCFC’s right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or hereafter existing and whether now owned or hereafter acquired): (i) the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account; (ii) all funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iii) all certificates and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing any or all of the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account or the funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iv) all Permitted Investments made at any time and from time to time with the monies in the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account; and (v) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing,

including, without limitation, cash. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders, the Series 2007-1 Insurer and the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider, as their interests appear herein, which interest in the case of the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider shall be subject to the interests of the holders of Series 2007-1 Notes as provided herein.

(c)    Funds on deposit in the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account shall, at the written direction of the Master Servicer given pursuant to the Master Lease or, in the sole discretion of the Series 2007-1 Insurer, at the written direction of the Series 2007-1 Insurer if the Master Servicer shall fail to give such direction, be invested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments. Funds on deposit in the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account on any Payment Date, after giving effect to any deposits to or withdrawals from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account on such Payment Date, shall be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature at such time that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Payment Date. The proceeds of any such investment, to the extent not distributed on such Payment Date, shall be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature at such time that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Payment Date immediately following the date of such investment. The Trustee shall maintain for the benefit of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders, the Series 2007-1 Insurer and the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider as their interests appear herein, which interest in the case of the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider shall be subject to the interests of the holders of the Series 2007-1 Notes as provided herein, possession of the negotiable instruments or securities evidencing the Permitted Investments from the time of purchase thereof until the time of sale or maturity. On each Payment Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Payment Date on funds on deposit in the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be paid, to the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider to the extent of any unreimbursed draws on the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit. Subject to the restrictions set forth above, the Master Servicer, a Person designated in writing by the Master Servicer with written notification thereof to the Trustee or the Series 2007-1 Insurer, as applicable, shall have the authority to instruct the Trustee with respect to the investment of funds on deposit in the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balances in the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account for any reason under the Indenture, all investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

(d)    In the event that the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus on any Payment Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account, is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Master Servicer or the Series 2007-1 Insurer, as applicable, shall withdraw from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Amount Surplus and shall pay from such amount to the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider, an amount equal to the amount of unreimbursed draws under the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit.

(e)    Upon the later to occur of (i) the termination of the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture and (ii) the Business Day immediately following the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Expiration Date, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written

 

 

 

62

instructions of the Master Servicer or the Series 2007-1 Insurer, as applicable, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 2007-1 Noteholders and to the Series 2007-1 Insurer and payable from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account all amounts on deposit therein and shall pay from such amounts to the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider an amount equal to the amount of unreimbursed draws on the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit.

(f)       If the Series 2007-1 Insurer elects in its sole discretion, to provide to the Trustee any direction under this Section 4.17, the Series 2007-1 Insurer shall provide to the Master Servicer one (1) Business Day prior written notice thereof; provided, that the failure of the Series 2007-1 Insurer to provide such notice to the Master Servicer shall not affect the Series 2007-1 Insurer’s right to provide direction, notice or instruction to the Trustee.

(a)    the Series 2007-1 Notes are subject to repurchase by RCFC in whole, but not in part, on any Payment Date; provided that, the Issuer may not repurchase the Series 2007-1 Notes if it would result in a draw on the Series 2007-1 Policy or if any amount owed to the Series 2007-1 Insurer would remain unpaid. On or prior to such Payment Date, RCFC shall have paid the Series 2007-1 Insurer all amounts due and unpaid under the Insurance Agreement (each such Payment Date, a “Repurchase Date”);

Any reference in the Base Indenture or the Related Documents to materially, adversely, or detrimentally affecting the rights or interests of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders, or words of similar meaning, shall be deemed, for purposes of the Series 2007-1 Notes, to refer to the rights or interests of the Series 2007-1 Insurer.

The Trustee agrees to notify the Series 2007-1 Insurer promptly following any exercise of rights or remedies available to it as a result of the occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to the Series 2007-1 Notes.

Section 8.13   Subrogation.  (a) In furtherance of and not in limitation of the Series 2007-1 Insurer’s equitable right of subrogation, each of the Trustee and RCFC acknowledge that, to the extent of any payment made by the Series 2007-1 Insurer under the Series 2007-1 Policy with respect to interest on or principal of the Series 2007-1 Notes, the Series 2007-1 Insurer is to be fully subrogated to the extent of such payment and any additional interest due on any late payment, to the rights of the Series 2007-1 Noteholders under the Indenture. Each of RCFC and the Trustee agree to such subrogation and, further, agree to take such actions as the Series 2007-1 Insurer may reasonably request to evidence such subrogation.

(b)    In the event that (x) amounts are withdrawn from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 4.17(e) hereof and paid to the Series 2007-1 Insurer with respect to a Series 2007-1 Preference Amount paid by the Series 2007-1 Insurer under the Series 2007-1 Policy and (y) the Series 2007-1 Insurer has been paid all Series 2007-1 Insurer Payments and all other Series 2007-1 Insurer Reimbursement Amounts payable under the Insurance Agreement and the Series 2007-1 Insurer has no further obligations in respect of the Series 2007-1 Policy, the Series 2007-1 Insurer acknowledges that, to the extent of such withdrawal from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account and payment to the Series 2007-1 Insurer, the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider, if any, is to be fully subrogated to the extent of such payment to the Series 2007-1 Insurer, to the Series 2007-1 Insurer’s equitable subrogation rights described in Section 8.13(a). By accepting payment of amounts withdrawn from the Series 2007-1 Cash Collateral Account, the Series 2007-1 Insurer agrees to such subrogation and, further, agrees to take such actions at the expense of the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider, as the Series 2007-1 Letter of Credit Provider, may reasonably request to evidence such subrogation.

Section 8.14   Financed Vehicles.   RCFC shall not lease any Financed Vehicles under the Financing Lease without the prior written consent of the Required Beneficiaries, each Enhancement Provider with respect to each Group IV Series of Notes and the Rating Agencies (which consent of the Rating Agencies may be evidenced by a written confirmation by such Rating Agencies that the leasing of such Financed Vehicles by RCFC under the Financing Lease will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings on each outstanding Group IV Series of Notes).

 

 

 

75

Section 8.15   Termination.   The RCFC Obligations with respect to this Supplement shall not be deemed to be fully satisfied for purposes of Section 12.15 of the Base Indenture, and this Supplement shall not terminate, until all of the Group IV Collateral has been liquidated and all of the applicable proceeds thereof have been allocated in accordance with Section 4.7(e) hereof.

(ii)     any payment out of the proceeds from or distributions made under the Master Lease of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee or agent, directly to the Senior Lender or its representative under the agreements pursuant to which the Payment Obligations may have been made, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Payment Obligations remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Senior Lender in respect of the Payment Obligations; and

(iii)    in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(d), any payment of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Subordinated Lender on account of principal of this Demand Note before all Payment Obligations are paid in full in cash or in a manner satisfactory to the Senior Lender, or effective provisions made for its payment, such payment out of the proceeds from or distributions made under the Master Lease shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the Senior Lender in respect of Payment Obligations remaining unpaid or unprovided for or their representative under the agreements pursuant to which the Payment Obligations have been made, for application to the payment of such Payment Obligations until all such Payment Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash or in a manner satisfactory to the Senior Lender, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Senior Lender in respect of Payment Obligations.

provided, however, that nothing in this clause (a) shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from RCFC to such party pursuant to any Related Document (other than this Agreement) to which RCFC is a party.

(b)          In the event that any such party takes action in violation of clause (a)(ii), RCFC agrees that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by such party against RCFC or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Insurer be (i) required to make any payment under this Policy in respect of any Preference Amount to the extent such Preference Amount is comprised of amounts previously paid by the Insurer hereunder, or (ii) obligated to make any payment in respect of any Preference Amount, which payment represents a payment of the principal amount of any Notes, prior to the time the Insurer otherwise would have been required to make a payment in respect of such principal, in which case the Insurer shall pay the balance of the Preference Amount when such amount otherwise would have been required.

The Insurer will pay any other amount payable hereunder no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the Trustee on the later of the Payment Date on which the related Deficiency Amount is due and the Business Day following receipt in New York, New York on a Business Day by the Insurer of a Notice (as described below); provided that if such Notice is received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a given Business Day or on any day that is not a Business Day, it will be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

In addition, at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Insurer may, in its sole discretion, direct the Trustee to submit a claim hereunder for the payment on the next succeeding Payment Date of an amount equal to the amount by which the Series 2007-1 Outstanding Principal Amount as of such date exceeds the amount on deposit in the Series 2007-1 Distribution Account on such date for the payment of principal after making all allocations, deposits and claims under available credit enhancement for such Payment Date. The Insurer will pay such amount in the manner described in the two immediately preceding paragraphs.
