If such Lessee rejects the vehicle, it shall notify the Lessor in writing that such vehicle is a Non-conforming 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 Non-conforming Lease Vehicle, then such Non-conforming Lease Vehicle with respect to which such Lessee has so notified the Lessor shall be a “Rejected Vehicle”.
(ii)Notwithstanding Sub-Clause 2.1(e)(i) above, a Lessee will be only entitled to reject any Vehicle delivered to it by or on behalf of the Lessor (A) if the Lessor is itself entitled to reject such Vehicle under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement pursuant to which such Vehicle was ordered and (B) subject to the same conditions (to the extent applicable) as to rejection as may be applicable to the Lessor under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement in respect of such Vehicle.
(iii)The Lessor shall cause the Servicer to dispose of a Rejected Vehicle described in sub-paragraph (i) above (including by returning such Rejected Vehicle to the seller thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Vehicle Purchasing Agreement) in accordance with Sub-Clause 6.2 (Servicer Functions).

The parties hereto agree that:
(i)each party so represented shall deliver to the respective other party the relevant original power of attorney or the original of the relevant servicing contract containing such power of attorney, at the time of or prior to the direct declaration made, delivered (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, electronic delivery), received and/or accepted on behalf of it;
(ii)each party so represented shall promptly notify the respective other party of any amendments of such power of attorney;

(iv)each party shall procure that its respective service provider shall not sub-delegate its authority to any other Person.
(g)Indemnity. Each Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor in respect of any Liabilities which the Lessor may suffer in circumstances where the Lessor has purchased a Vehicle or Vehicles under an Individual Purchase Agreement (as defined pursuant to the German Master Fleet Purchase Agreement) and a lease is not entered into by the date on which the Lessor pays the purchase price for such Vehicle or Vehicles (including, without limitation, where a lease is not entered into because the conditions precedent in Clause 2.1(c) (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Leased Vehicles) are not satisfied).
2.2Certain Transfers
(a)Sales to Lessee. The Lessor may sell a Lease Vehicle during such Lease Vehicle’s Vehicle Term to the relevant Lessee for an amount equal to the market value of such Lease Vehicle.
(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.

respect to which the lease shall 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 from the Lessor to the Transferee Lessee, provided that such transfer does not result in the breach of any prescribed limits relating to Lease Vehicles set out in the Related Documents. Each Lessee agrees that upon such a transfer of the lease with respect to any Lease Vehicle from one Lessee to another Lessee pursuant to this Agreement, such Transferor Lessee relinquishes all rights that it has under such lease with respect to 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, provided the Transferor Lessee and the Transferee Lessee shall have separately agreed to such Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule and, with respect to such agreement, may not be represented by the same agent.

2.5Redesignation of Vehicles
(a)Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations. With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, the Lessor shall on the date specified in Sub-Clause 2.5(d) (Timing of Redesignations) redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a Non-Program Vehicle, if:
(i)a Manufacturer Event of Default is continuing with respect to the Manufacturer of such Lease Vehicle as of such date; or
(ii)as of any such date occurring after the Minimum Program Term End Date with respect to such Lease Vehicle, such Lease Vehicle was returned as of such date pursuant to the terms of the Manufacturer Program with respect to such Lease Vehicle, the 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 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 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-VLCD 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.

(c)Non-Program Vehicle to Program Vehicle Redesignations. With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Non-Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, if such Lease Vehicle was previously designated as a Program Vehicle, then such Lessee may redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a 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 Program Vehicle if such Lease Vehicle would then be required to be redesignated as a Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to Sub-Clause 2.5(a) (Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations) after designating such Lease Vehicle as a Program Vehicle.

(ii)the purchase price of the Vehicle(s) shall be paid to the relevant Dealer or Auction Seller in full by the date falling no later than five (5) Business Days from the date of (A) in respect of a purchase from a Dealer, delivery of the relevant Vehicle(s) and (B) in respect of a purchase from an Auction Seller, the applicable Vehicle Purchasing Agreement and in each case, to the extent that the purchase price has not been paid in full by the date falling no later than five (5) Business Days in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (B) above, such Vehicle(s) will not constitute Non-RCC Compliant Eligible Vehicles for the purposes of this Agreement;
(iii)the Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that there is an absolute transfer of title of the Non-Program Vehicle from the relevant Dealer or Auction Seller to the German FleetCo, immediately following the payment of the purchase price of the Non-Program Vehicle, and the German FleetCo shall not under any circumstances have any obligations of any nature in favour of such Dealer or Auction Seller under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement following such payment;
(iv)at any time of determination, the aggregate Net Book Value of such Vehicles where the Vehicles have been delivered to or to the order of the German FleetCo by an Auction Seller or Dealer pursuant to a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement but for which the full purchase price payable by or on behalf of the German FleetCo has not yet

been paid by or on behalf of the German FleetCo, shall, in aggregate with the Net Book Value of such Vehicles acquired by the relevant FleetCo pursuant to the equivalent clause in each of the other Master Leases, be no more than EUR 10,000,000.

For the avoidance of doubt, a breach by the German FleetCo of the obligation to ensure the aggregate Net Book Value of Non-RCC Compliant Eligible Vehicles shall be equal to or less than thirty (30) per cent. of the aggregate Net Book Value of all Eligible Vehicles set out in this Sub-Clause (v) shall not on its own constitute a Lease Event of Default or a Leasing Company Amortization Event.
On any date after the Non-RCC Expiry Date, the Servicer shall not negotiate any Vehicle Purchasing Agreements on behalf of German FleetCo which do not comply with the Required Contractual Criteria. For the avoidance of doubt, this restriction shall not apply to any Vehicles which the German FleetCo may have purchased pursuant to sub-clause (b) above

9.2Effect of Lease Event of Default.
If any Lease Event of Default set forth in Sub-Clause 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.5, 9.1.6 or 9.1.8 (Events of Default) shall occur and be continuing, the relevent Lessee’s leases with respect to any Lease Vehicles leased hereunder shall be subject to the Lessor’s option to terminate such leases as set forth in Sub-Clause 9.3 (Rights of Lessor Upon Lease Event of Default) and 9.4 (Liquidation Event and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants).

9.3.2    If any Lease Event of Default set forth in Sub-Clause 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.5, 9.1.6 or 9.1.8 (Events of Default) shall occur and be continuing, then (i) subject to the terms of this Clause 9.3.2, the Lessor or the German Security Trustee (acting on the written instructions of the Issuer Security Trustee (whose instructions, in turn, have been obtained in accordance with the terms of the German Security Trust Deed and the Issuer Security Trust Deed)) shall have the right to serve notice on the other parties hereto whereby any Lessee’s leases hereunder of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased hereunder by such Lessee are terminated, a “Master Lease Termination Notice”, and following service of such notice shall have the right to (a) take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased by any Lessee hereunder the lease of which has been so terminated and (b) 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 (ii) the Lessees, at the request of the Lessor or the German Security Trustee (whose instructions, in turn, have been obtained in accordance with the terms of the German Security Trust Deed), shall return or cause to be returned all Lease Vehicles to and in accordance with the directions of the Lessor or the German Security Trustee as the case may be.

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
28
A36887653
WEIL:

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 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 alter or affect the Lessor’s rights hereunder with respect to any subsequent payments or defaults therein.

(b)During the continuance of a Liquidation Event, the Servicer shall return any or all Lease Vehicles that are Program Vehicles to the related Manufacturers in accordance with the instructions of the Lessor.

(c)Notwithstanding the exercise of any rights or remedies pursuant to this Sub-Clause 9.4 (Liquidation Event and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants), the Lessor will, nevertheless, have a right to recover from such Lessee any and all amounts (for the avoidance of doubt, as limited by Sub-Clause 9.5 (Measure of Damages)) as may be then due.
(d)In addition, following the occurrence of a 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 German Security Trustee to exercise the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims given to the German Security Trustee pursuant to Sub-Clause 10.2 (Rights of the German Security Trustee upon Amortization Event or Certain Other Events of Default) of the German Facility Agreement, 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 German Security Trustee pursuant to Clause 10 of the German Facility Agreement and that the German Security Trustee may act in lieu of the Lessor in the exercise of all such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims.
(e)The German Security 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 German Note with respect to which a Liquidation Event is then continuing as set forth in the German Facility Agreement, taking into account the receipt of proceeds of all other vehicles being disposed of that have been transferred to secure such German Note.
9.5Measure of Damages
If a Lease Event of Default or Liquidation Event occurs and the Lessor or the German Security Trustee exercises the remedies granted to the Lessor or the German Security Trustee under Sub-Clause 8.7 (Preservation of rights), this Clause 9 (Default and Remedies Therefor) or Sub-Clause 10.2 of the German Facility Agreement, 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

applicable) meeting any minimum vehicle purchase level in that relevant year, be payable to or for the account of German OpCo (rather than German FleetCo). For the avoidance of doubt, German FleetCo may however take the benefit of reductions applied to purchase prices applicable to vehicles as a result of any such minimum vehicle purchase levels being reached.
