COLT 20    -SN   SERVICING AGREEMENT

THIS COLT 20    -SN   SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of [            ], 20     (this “COLT Servicing Agreement” or this “Agreement”), is between CENTRAL ORIGINATING LEASE TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust (“COLT”), ALLY FINANCIAL INC., a Delaware corporation (“Ally Financial”), as servicer (the “Servicer”), and [                    ], a [                    ], as COLT Indenture Trustee (the “COLT Indenture Trustee”).

WHEREAS, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, as COLT Owner Trustee (the “COLT Owner Trustee”) has entered into the Declaration of Trust, dated as of December 13, 2006, acknowledged, accepted and agreed by Central Originating Lease, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“COLT, LLC”), as Residual Certificateholder (as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from to time, the “Declaration of Trust”);

WHEREAS, the COLT Owner Trustee and COLT, LLC, as the Residual Certificateholder, are entering into a COLT 20    -SN   Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, dated as of the date hereof, to segregate the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets into a separate Series under the Declaration of Trust;

WHEREAS, COLT and the COLT Indenture Trustee are entering into the COLT Indenture, dated as of the date hereof, to provide for the issuance of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Notes;

WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for, among other things, the servicing of Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets by the Servicer;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in and shall have the meanings assigned to them in the COLT Series Definitions attached as Exhibit A, or if not defined therein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the COLT Program Definitions attached as Exhibit I to the Declaration of Trust. All references herein to “this Agreement” are to this COLT Servicing Agreement as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

ARTICLE II

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF LEASE ASSETS

SECTION 2.01 Duties of the Servicer.

(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to act as agent for COLT and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on and dispositions of the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets in accordance with this Agreement with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable automotive leases that it

COLT 20    -SN   Servicing Agreement


services for itself or others. Each of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders and the COLT 20    -SN   Certificateholder, by acceptance of a COLT 20    -SN   Secured Note or the COLT 20    -SN   Certificate, as the case may be, authorizes the Servicer to service, administer and make payments on its COLT 20    -SN   Secured Note or its COLT 20    -SN   Certificate as provided herein. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer set forth herein and in any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Document to which the Servicer is a party with respect to the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets, the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Notes and the COLT 20    -SN   Certificates.

(b) The Servicer’s duties shall include collecting and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Lessees, remarketing returned Vehicles, investigating delinquencies, sending billing statements or coupon books to Lessees, reporting required tax information (if any) to Lessees, policing the Vehicles, monitoring the status of insurance policies with respect to the Lessees and the Vehicles, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to COLT with respect to distributions, generating federal income tax information, giving, on a timely basis, any required notices or instructions to the COLT Owner Trustee under the Declaration of Trust, giving any required instructions to VAULT under the VAULT Trust Agreement and performing the other duties specified herein or in any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Document. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall follow its Customary Servicing Practices and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administering and collecting that it may deem necessary or desirable.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby designated by COLT as the true and lawful attorney and agent for and on behalf of COLT, with full power and authority to perform any and all acts related to managing, servicing, administering and collecting any part of the COLT 20    -SN   Trust Estate and any and all acts otherwise required or permitted to be performed by the Servicer under this Agreement and the other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Documents and is hereby authorized and empowered by COLT to execute and deliver, in its own name or on behalf of COLT, or both of them, as the case may be, any and all instruments of satisfaction, extension or cancellation, or of partial release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets. The Servicer also has the right, power and authority to designate in writing other Persons as true and lawful attorneys and agents for and on behalf of COLT to do anything that the Servicer has the power to do under this Agreement or the other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Documents; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such designation, the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder and thereunder.

(d) In addition, the Servicer shall have the full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with the servicing and administration of the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets that the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable in connection with arranging for the sale or other liquidation of the Vehicles upon its receipt of possession thereof. In connection with any such sale or other liquidation of any such Vehicle, other than any sale directly or indirectly of such Vehicle to the related Lessee in accordance with the related Series 20    -SN   Lease, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize the Sale Proceeds received in connection with the sale or other liquidation of any such Vehicle; provided, however, that the Servicer shall have no liability to COLT or the Series 20    -SN   Further Holders in connection with any sale or other liquidation of a Vehicle related to a Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset to the extent the Servicer arranges for such sale or other liquidation of such Vehicle in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices.

 

2


(e) The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of COLT, a legal proceeding to enforce a defaulted Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset as contemplated by Section 2.05, to enforce all obligations of COLT under this Agreement and the other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Documents or to commence or participate in a legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, COLT shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset to the Servicer for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by COLT to execute and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. COLT shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Documents. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset, the COLT Owner Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s expense, take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset, including bringing such suit or proceeding in the COLT Owner Trustee’s name.

SECTION 2.02 Collection of Series 20    -SN   Lease Payments and Pull Ahead Payments.

(a) The Servicer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Series 20    -SN   Leases as and when the same shall become due in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices; provided, however, that any waiver, extension or modification of the terms of any Series 20    -SN   Lease shall be granted by the Servicer solely (i) pursuant to a Pull Ahead Program in accordance and upon full compliance with the COLT Pull Ahead Funding Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto, or (ii) in accordance with Section 2.11; and provided, further, that the Servicer shall have no obligation to collect any payments required under any Administrative Lease Asset or Warranty Lease Asset following COLT’s receipt of the related Administrative Purchase Payment or Warranty Payment, as applicable.

(b) If Ally Financial, in its capacity as agent for General Motors, or General Motors institutes a Pull Ahead Program, the Servicer shall permit a Lessee under a Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset to participate in such Pull Ahead Program, and the Servicer shall modify such Series 20    -SN   Lease by accepting the Pull Ahead Payment from Ally Financial in lieu of receiving all or a portion of the remaining Monthly Lease Payments from the related Lessee, if (but only if) the conditions to participation specified in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01 of the COLT Pull Ahead Funding Agreement have been satisfied. On the first business day of each Collection Period, the Servicer (if the Servicer is not Ally Financial) shall notify the Pull Ahead Agent of the identity of all Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets that have become Pull Ahead Lease

 

3


Assets during the immediately preceding Collection Period and the total amount of Pull Ahead Payments paid and remaining to be paid with respect to each such Pull Ahead Lease Asset. If Ally Financial, as agent for General Motors, does not timely deposit all Pull Ahead Payments in the Collection Account, the Servicer (including any successor servicer) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such unpaid Pull Ahead Payments. Consistent with the foregoing, only the Servicer (or any replacement servicer or delegate of the Servicer) shall be entitled to modify the Series 20    -SN   Lease related to any Pull Ahead Lease Asset; provided, however, that any such modification shall be subject to and consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including Section 4.04) or any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Document, General Motors shall have no right (and the Servicer shall not allow General Motors) to waive, extend or modify any provision of any Series 20    -SN   Lease whether in connection with a Pull Ahead Program or otherwise. In connection with any Pull Ahead Lease Asset, the Servicer shall charge the related Lessee any applicable Excess Wear and Excess Mileage Charges in accordance with the related Series 20    -SN   Lease and the Customary Servicing Practices, and the Servicer shall deposit any amounts received from the related Lessee on account thereof into the COLT Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.04.

(c) Upon the return of a Vehicle to a Dealer following the expiration or termination of the related Series 20    -SN   Lease, the Servicer shall cause the Dealer or an independent third party to inspect such Vehicle to ascertain whether Excess Wear and Excess Mileage Charges are due and whether there is a need for any repairs, and shall cause the Dealer or an independent third party to deliver a vehicle condition report to the Servicer. The Servicer shall require the Lessee to pay the Excess Wear and Excess Mileage Charges for each Vehicle in accordance with the terms of the applicable Series 20    -SN   Lease.

SECTION 2.03 Collection and Application of Security Deposits.

(a) The Servicer shall separately account for any Security Deposit related to the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets remitted to it or to COLT as agent and bailee for COLT, and shall apply the proceeds of such Security Deposits in accordance with applicable law, its Customary Servicing Practices and the Series 20    -SN   Leases, including that the Servicer shall use the Security Deposit in respect of any defaulted Series 20    -SN   Lease for the payment of any amount resulting from the related Lessee’s default or failure to pay all amounts required to be paid under such Series 20    -SN   Lease and any Excess Wear and Excess Mileage Charges.

(b) In any Collection Period in which a Series 20    -SN   Lease becomes a Liquidating Lease Asset, the Servicer shall deposit into the COLT Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.04, to the extent permitted by such Series 20    -SN   Lease and applicable law, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the related Security Deposit and (ii) any amount to which the related Security Deposit shall apply in accordance with such Series 20    -SN   Lease and applicable law, and such amount shall become part of the COLT Collections on such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset for such Collection Period. The remainder of the related Security Deposit for any such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset, after the deposit of the amounts, if any, referenced in the preceding sentence, shall be returned to the related Lessee by the Servicer; provided, however, that the Servicer may separately account for a Security Deposit (including any interest therein) until the Lessee has repaid all other charges owed under such Series 20    - SN   Lease. As part of its Supplemental Servicing Fee, the Servicer shall also be entitled to the earnings from the investment of Security Deposits retained as and to the extent permitted by applicable law and the applicable Series 20    -SN   Lease and to the extent not required to be paid to the Lessees.

SECTION 2.04 Voluntary Early Terminations. If under any Series 20    -SN   Lease the Lessee exercises its option to terminate such Series 20    -SN   Lease prior to its Scheduled Lease End Date, the Servicer shall, on behalf of COLT, give instructions to VAULT to convey title to the related Vehicle to the Person purchasing the related Vehicle. If neither the Lessee nor the Dealer purchases the related Vehicle, the Servicer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, consign such Vehicle to a motor vehicle wholesale or retail dealer for resale, sell such Vehicle at a private or public sale or take other commercially reasonable actions in order to dispose of such Vehicle. In connection with the sale of any Vehicle in accordance with this Section 2.04, the Servicer shall, on behalf of COLT, give instructions to VAULT to convey title to such Vehicle to the purchaser thereof.

SECTION 2.05 Realization Upon Defaulted Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets. The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, to repossess or otherwise comparably gain control of any Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise controlled following a default under the related Series 20    -SN   Lease. The Servicer shall follow its Customary Servicing Practices, which practices, policies and procedures may include, among other things, exercising commercially reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to any Dealers, consigning a Vehicle to a motor vehicle wholesale or retail dealer for resale, selling such Vehicle at a public or private sale and taking other actions in order to realize upon such Series 20    -SN   Lease and/or Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to commence legal proceedings with respect to a Lease Asset in its own name or in the name of COLT. In connection with the sale of any Vehicle in accordance with this Section 2.05, the Servicer shall, on behalf of COLT, give instructions to VAULT to convey title to such Vehicle to the purchaser thereof. The Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise its discretion consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices and the terms of the COLT 20    -SN   Basic Documents, in servicing the Liquidating Lease Assets so as to maximize the net collection of those Liquidating Lease Assets, including the discretion to choose to sell or not to sell any of the Liquidating Lease Assets on behalf of COLT.

SECTION 2.06 Scheduled Expiration of Series 20    -SN   Leases. At the Scheduled Lease End Date for each Series 20    -SN   Lease (or, with respect to any Extended Lease, the date to which such Scheduled Lease End Date has been extended), if the Lessee elects to exercise its option under such Lease to purchase the related Vehicle, the Servicer shall determine whether the Dealer that originated such Lease or COLT will sell the Vehicle to the Lessee. If the Dealer is to sell the Vehicle to the Lessee, upon receipt of the purchase price for such Vehicle from the Dealer and upon direction from the Dealer, the Servicer shall, on behalf of COLT, give instructions to VAULT to convey title to such Vehicle to the Lessee. If COLT is to sell the Vehicle to the Lessee, upon receipt of the Lessee Purchase Amount, the Servicer shall, on behalf of COLT, give instructions to VAULT to convey title to such Vehicle to the Lessee. If the Lessee does not exercise its option to purchase the related Vehicle at the Scheduled Lease End Date (or, with respect to any Extended Lease, the date to which such Scheduled Lease End Date has been extended), the Servicer shall determine if a Dealer will purchase such Vehicle. If a

 

5


Dealer elects to purchase the related Vehicle, upon receipt of the purchase price for such Vehicle from the Dealer, the Servicer shall, on behalf of COLT, give instructions to VAULT to convey title to such Vehicle to such Dealer. If neither the Lessee nor a Dealer purchases the related Vehicle, the Servicer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, consign such Vehicle to a wholesale or retail motor vehicle dealer for resale, sell such Vehicle at a private or public sale or take other commercially reasonable actions in order to dispose of such Vehicle. In connection with the sale of any Vehicle in accordance with this Section 2.06, the Servicer shall, on behalf of COLT, give instructions to VAULT to convey title to such Vehicle to the purchaser thereof.

SECTION 2.07 Payment and Reimbursement of Liquidation Expenses.

(a) In connection with the repossession or sale of any Vehicle, the Servicer shall be entitled, if such Vehicle shall have sustained any damage, to expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Vehicle if it has determined in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Vehicle and related Series 20    -SN   Lease by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

(b) The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for the amount of any Liquidation Expenses it has paid with respect to each Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset at such time as the related Vehicle has been sold or otherwise disposed of by the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.03(b)(iii).

SECTION 2.08 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, require that each Lessee shall have obtained all insurance required to be obtained by the Lessee under the applicable Series 20    -SN   Lease. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, monitor such insurance with respect to each Series 20    -SN   Lease to the extent required by its Customary Servicing Practices. If a Lessee under any Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset fails to obtain or maintain any insurance required under the related Series 20    -SN   Lease, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, take all actions which are necessary so that COLT is and remains covered by insurance with terms that are (1) customary for a lessor of leased vehicles and (2) consistent with the coverage that the Servicer maintains for its own portfolio of leases and leased vehicles, although the Servicer may instead indemnify COLT against the risks that would be covered by such insurance if the Servicer’s long-term unsecured debt rating is at least “BBB-” by S&P and “Baa3” by Moody’s. The Servicer shall also deposit, out of its own funds, into the COLT collection account an amount equal to the amount of an insurable loss incurred by COLT with respect to a lease asset that is not paid under an insurance policy.

SECTION 2.09 Maintenance of Enforceable Ownership Interest, Beneficial Ownership Interest and Security Interest in the Related Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, take such steps as are necessary to (a) establish and maintain the enforceable ownership interest of VAULT in the Vehicles related to the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets in accordance with the VAULT Trust Agreement, (b) establish and maintain COLT’s beneficial ownership interest in the Vehicles related to the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets in accordance with the VAULT Trust Agreement and (c) establish and maintain the perfection of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders’ security interest in the Vehicles related to the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets. Each COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholder hereby authorizes the Servicer to re-perfect such security interest on its behalf as may be needed from time to time.

SECTION 2.10 Custody of Lease Files. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, COLT shall enter into the COLT Custodian Agreement with the COLT Custodian pursuant to which COLT shall revocably appoint the COLT Custodian, and the COLT Custodian shall accept such appointment, to act as the agent of COLT as COLT Custodian of the following documents or instruments, which shall be constructively delivered to COLT with respect to each Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset on or prior to the Series 20    -SN   Closing Date on behalf of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders:

(a) the fully executed original of such Series 20    -SN   Lease;

(b) documents evidencing or related to any insurance policy covering the related Vehicle;

(c) the original application of each Lessee, fully executed by each Lessee on a form that meets Ally Financial’s customary origination standards;

(d) where permitted by law, the original certificate of title (as soon as it is received) and otherwise such documents, if any, that Ally Financial keeps on file in accordance with its customary procedures indicating that title to the Vehicle is in the name of VAULT and an interest as first lienholder or secured party is in the name of Ally Financial; and

(e) any and all other documents that Ally Financial keeps on file in accordance with its customary procedures relating to any Series 20    -SN   Lease, Lessee or related Vehicle, including any written modifications or extensions.

SECTION 2.11 Waivers, Modifications and Extensions on the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets.

(a) The Servicer may, in its discretion and in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices: (i) waive any late payment charge or penalty interest provision or any other provision of any Series 20    -SN   Lease; (ii) extend the term of any Series 20    -SN   Lease and/or the due date for any payment due from the Lessee thereunder; (iii) modify any provision of any Series 20    -SN   Lease; (iv) accept extended performance under any Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset; and (v) take any other action to waive, extend or modify any of the obligations of the Lessee under any Series 20    -SN   Lease; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not grant any such waiver, extension or modification or take any other action if such waiver, extension, modification or other action would (A) impair the enforceable ownership interest of VAULT, the beneficial ownership interest of COLT, the Lien of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders in the related Vehicle or the Lien of the COLT Indenture Trustee for the ratable benefit of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders in such Series 20    -SN   Lease, (B) reduce the aggregate dollar amount of the Monthly Lease Payments due under any Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset, (C) extend the term of any Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset beyond the last day of the sixth Collection Period immediately preceding the Final Scheduled Payment Date, or (D) modify the amounts due from the Lessee upon the termination of any Series 20    -SN   Lease, except that the Servicer may reduce the Lessee Purchase Amount under any Series 20    -SN   Lease

 

7


Asset (1) to the extent that the Servicer has determined, in its discretion, that the reduction of such Lessee Purchase Amount is reasonably likely to maximize the Sale Proceeds received by the Servicer in connection with the sale or other liquidation of the related Vehicle, or (2) otherwise in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not prohibit the Servicer’s waiver of the Lessee’s payment of all or a portion of the remaining Monthly Lease Payments with respect to any Pull Ahead Lease Asset pursuant to Section 2.02(b).

(b) Notwithstanding any waiver, extension, modification or other action taken by the Servicer with respect to a Series 20    -SN   Lease in accordance with Section 2.11(a), the Servicer may (but shall not be obligated to) make Monthly Payment Advances and Residual Advances in accordance with Section 3.06 and shall calculate the ABS Value of such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset as if such waiver, extension, modification or other action had not occurred.

SECTION 2.12 Covenants, Representations and Warranties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer covenants, with respect to each Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset, that from and after the Series 20    -SN   Closing Date:

(i) Legal Title to Vehicles. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the VAULT Trust Agreement, the Servicer shall maintain VAULT as the legal title holder of the related Vehicle;

(ii) No Impairment.

(a)(i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the COLT Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Central Originating Lease Trust 20    -SN   Collection Account (the “COLT Collection Account”), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 20    -SN   Further Holders.

(ii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Lessees, shall establish and maintain in the name of the COLT Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Central Originating Lease Trust COLT 20    -SN   Payment Ahead Servicing Account (the “Payment Ahead Servicing Account”). The Payment Ahead Servicing Account shall not be property of COLT.

(b) Each of the COLT 20    -SN   Accounts shall be Eligible Deposit Accounts initially established with the COLT Indenture Trustee and maintained by the Servicer. At any time after the Series 20    -SN   Closing Date, the Servicer, upon 30 days written notice to the COLT Indenture Trustee or other Account Holder, shall have the right to instruct the COLT Indenture Trustee or other Account Holder to transfer any or all of the COLT 20    -SN   Accounts to another Eligible Institution designated by the Servicer in such notice. No COLT 20    -SN   Account shall be maintained with an Account Holder if the short-term unsecured debt obligations of such Account Holder cease to have the Required Deposit Rating (except that any Designated Account may be maintained with an Account Holder even if the short-term unsecured debt obligations of such Account Holder do not have the Required Deposit Rating, if such Account Holder maintains such Designated Account in its corporate trust department). Should an Account Holder no longer satisfy the requirements in the preceding sentence with respect to any Designated Account, then the Servicer shall, within ten Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days), with the Account Holder’s assistance as necessary, cause each affected COLT 20    -SN   Account (A) to be moved to an Account Holder that is an Eligible Institution or (B) with respect to the Designated Accounts only, to be moved to the corporate trust department of the Account Holder. All amounts held in COLT 20    -SN   Accounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, at the written direction of the Servicer, by such Account Holder in Eligible Investments. Such written direction shall constitute certification by the Servicer that any such investment is authorized by this Section 3.01. Such direction may be a standing direction to invest all funds from time to time on deposit in an account in a particular Eligible Investment until subsequent notice from the Servicer. If the Servicer has not provided such prior written direction to the Account Holder, the Account Holder shall invest uninvested funds in “Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves, Fund # 349.” Investments in Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the COLT Indenture Trustee or its nominee or assignee and, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies (if any Rated Notes are outstanding), may not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity; provided, however, that Eligible Investments held in the COLT 20    -SN   Reserve Account may be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity so long as (x) the Servicer directs the COLT Indenture Trustee to make such sale or disposition, and (y) the Eligible Investments are sold at a price equal to or greater than the unpaid principal balance thereof. Investment Earnings on funds deposited in the COLT 20    -SN   Accounts shall be payable to the Servicer as Supplemental Servicing Fees. Neither the COLT Owner Trustee nor the COLT Indenture Trustee shall have any liability for any loss on Eligible Investments, nor shall the COLT Owner Trustee or the COLT Indenture Trustee have any liability for transferring funds in

or to the COLT 20    -SN   Accounts based on written instructions of the Servicer. Each Account Holder holding a COLT 20    -SN   Account as provided in this Section 3.01(b) shall be a “Securities Intermediary.” If a Securities Intermediary shall be a Person other than the COLT Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 3.01 and an Opinion of Counsel that such Person can perform such obligations, and the Servicer shall send a copy of such agreement and Opinion of Counsel to the COLT Indenture Trustee.

(c) With respect to the Designated Account Property, each of the Account Holder and the Servicer, as applicable, hereby agrees that:

(i) any Designated Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in Eligible Deposit Accounts; and each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Designated Account Owner, and the Designated Account Owner or the Servicer on its behalf shall have sole authority to direct payments with respect thereto;

(ii) any Designated Account Property that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Designated Account Owner in accordance with paragraph (i) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Designated Account Owner or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) acting solely for the Designated Account Owner;

(iii) any Designated Account Property that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Designated Account Owner, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Designated Account Property as described in such paragraph;

(iv) any Designated Account Property that is an “uncertificated security” (as such term is defined in 8-102(a)(18) of the UCC) and that is not governed by clause (iii) above shall be delivered to the Designated Account Owner in accordance with paragraph (iii) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Designated Account Owner or its nominee or custodian, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Designated Account Owner’s (or its nominee’s or custodian’s) ownership of such security;

(v) each Account Holder shall maintain each item of Designated Account Property in the particular Designated Account to which such item originated and shall not commingle items from different Designated Accounts; and

(vi) the Servicer agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments (including any UCC financing statements or this Agreement) as may be necessary in order to perfect the interests of the Designated Account Owner in the Designated Account Property including to promptly execute, deliver and file any

 

17


financing statements, amendments, continuation statements, assignments, certificates and other documents with respect to such interests and to perform all such other acts as may be necessary in order to perfect or to maintain the perfection of the Designated Account Owner’s security interest.

(d) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the COLT Indenture Trustee, to make withdrawals and payments from the Designated Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the COLT Indenture Trustee to carry out their respective duties hereunder.

(e) The COLT Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Designated Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (except Investment Earnings). Except as otherwise provided herein, the Designated Accounts shall be under the exclusive dominion and control of the COLT Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders and the COLT Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature power and authority with respect thereto.

(f) The COLT Indenture Trustee, each Account Holder and each other Eligible Institution with whom a Designated Account is maintained waives any right of set-off, counterclaim, security interest or bankers’ lien to which it might otherwise be entitled.

(g) At any time that the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, then (x) Payments Ahead need not be remitted to and deposited in the Payment Ahead Servicing Account but instead may be remitted to and held by the Servicer and (y) the Servicer shall not be required to segregate or otherwise hold separate any Payments Ahead, but the Servicer shall be required to remit Applied Payments Ahead to the COLT Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.03(b)(ii). The Servicer shall promptly notify the COLT Indenture Trustee if the Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied. Commencing with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two Business Days after the day on which the Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied, the Servicer shall deposit in the Payment Ahead Servicing Account the amount of any Payments Ahead then held by it, and thereafter, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition continues to be unsatisfied, the Servicer shall deposit any additional Excess Payments in the Payment Ahead Servicing Account within two Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied the Servicer may utilize, with respect to any Payments Ahead then held by it and any additional Excess Payments that it may subsequently receive, an alternative remittance schedule (which may include a remittance schedule utilized by the Servicer at a time when the Monthly Remittance Condition was satisfied), if the Servicer provides the COLT Indenture Trustee with written consent of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders to such alternative remittance schedule and (y) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to any Rated Notes. The COLT Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any Servicer Default unless such trustee has received notice of such event or circumstance from the Seller, the Servicer, or the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders or unless a Responsible Officer of the COLT Indenture Trustee with knowledge hereof and familiarity herewith has actual knowledge of such event or circumstance.

SECTION 3.04 COLT Collections.

(a) If the Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, commencing with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two Business Days after the day on which the Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied the Servicer shall remit to the COLT Collection Account all COLT Collections within two Business Days after receipt thereof; provided, however, that the Servicer shall deposit into the COLT Collection Account any Pull Ahead Payments it receives from Ally Financial, as agent for General Motors, pursuant to Section 2.02(b) on the same day as such payments are received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Monthly Remittance Condition is unsatisfied, the Servicer may utilize an alternative remittance schedule (which may include a remittance schedule utilized by the Servicer at a time when the Monthly Remittance Conditions was satisfied), if (x) the Servicer provides the COLT Indenture Trustee with written instruction to follow such alternative remittance schedule and (y) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to any Rated Notes.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition has been satisfied, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain the Basic Servicing Fee, any Payments Ahead and reimbursement for any Outstanding Advances and shall deposit into the COLT Collection Account on each Payment Date only the COLT Collections received by the Servicer on the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets during the related Collection Period net of amounts to be distributed to or retained by the Servicer on account of the Basic Servicing Fee, any Excess Payments and reimbursement of any Outstanding Advances on the following Payment Date. The Servicer shall, however, account for all COLT Collections as if all of the deposits and distributions described herein were made individually.

 

21


SECTION 3.05 Application of COLT Collections. For the purposes of this Agreement and the other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Documents, all COLT Collections with respect to a Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset for each Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer no later than the related Payment Date as follows:

(a) With respect to each Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset (other than an Administrative Lease Asset, a Warranty Lease Asset or an Extended Lease), payments by or on behalf of the Lessee that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees, Excluded Amounts or Sales and Use Tax Amounts shall be applied first to reduce any Outstanding Advances made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset. Second, the amount of any such payments that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees, Excluded Amounts or Sales and Use Tax Amounts in excess of any such Outstanding Advances with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset shall be applied to the Monthly Lease Payment with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset. With respect to any Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset and any Collection Period, the “Excess Payment” shall equal the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of the payments made by or on behalf of the related Lessee and received during such Collection Period (other than any prepayment in full in connection with a termination of the related Series 20    -SN   Lease prior to its Scheduled Lease End Date) that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees, Excluded Amounts, Sales and Use Tax Amounts or Applied Payments Ahead, over (y) the amounts applied with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset pursuant to the two preceding sentences. If the amounts applied under the first two sentences of this Section 3.05(a) shall be less than the Monthly Lease Payment, whether as a result of any extension granted to the Lessee or otherwise, then an amount equal to the Applied Payments Ahead, if any, with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset shall be applied by the Servicer to the extent of the shortfall, and the Payments Ahead with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset shall be reduced accordingly.

(b) With respect to each Administrative Lease Asset and Warranty Lease Asset, payments by or on behalf of the Lessee shall be applied in the same manner in accordance with Section 3.05(a), except that any Released Administrative Amount or Released Warranty Amount shall be remitted to the Servicer or the Seller, as applicable. Any Warranty Payment shall be applied to reduce any Outstanding Advances and such Warranty Payment or an Administrative Purchase Payment, as applicable, shall be applied to the Monthly Lease Payment, in each case to the extent that the payments by or on behalf of the Lessee shall be insufficient, and then to prepay such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset in full.

(c) With respect to each Extended Lease, payments by or on behalf of the Lessee that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees, Excluded Amounts or Sales and Use Tax Amounts shall be applied first to reduce any Outstanding Advances made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset. Second, the amount of any such payments that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees, Excluded Amounts or Sales and Use Tax Amounts in excess of any such Outstanding Advances with respect to such Extended Lease shall be applied to the Extended Lease Payment with respect to such Extended Lease.

 

22


SECTION 3.06 Advances.

(a) Subject to the following sentence, with respect to each Collection Period and each Series 20    -SN   Lease (other than an Administrative Lease Asset, a Warranty Lease Asset or an Extended Lease), if there is a shortfall in the Monthly Lease Payment remaining after application of the Applied Payments Ahead pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Servicer in its sole discretion may (but shall have no obligation to) advance an amount equal to such shortfall (such amount, a “Monthly Payment Advance”) on the second Business Day of the following Collection Period or, if the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, on the related Payment Date. The Servicer may make a Monthly Payment Advance in respect of a Series 20    -SN   Lease only to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that such Monthly Payment Advance shall be recoverable from subsequent collections or recoveries on such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset.

(b) With respect to each Collection Period and each Series 20    -SN   Lease (i) which terminated by reason of having reached its Scheduled Lease End Date 120 days or more prior to the last day of such Collection Period, and (ii) for which the related Vehicle has not been sold during or prior to such Collection Period, the Servicer, in its sole discretion, may (but shall have no obligation to) advance, on the second Business Day of the following Collection Period or, if the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, on the Business Day preceding the related Payment Date, an amount (the “Residual Advance”) equal to the lesser of (x) the Lease Residual for the related Vehicle, reduced, in the case of any Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset that is an Extended Lease, by the aggregate amount of any Extended Lease Payments on such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset received by the Servicer since the Scheduled Lease End Date of such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset, and (y) the amount that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, has estimated shall be recoverable from the sale or other disposition of the Vehicle related to such Series 20    -SN   Lease.

(c) The Servicer shall be reimbursed for Outstanding Advances with respect to a Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset from subsequent COLT Collections and recoveries received with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease Asset.

(d) If the sources specified in Section 3.06(c) are insufficient to reimburse all Outstanding Advances with respect to a Series 20    -SN   Lease upon collection of all amounts expected by the Servicer to be collected with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease and the related Vehicle, then the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of any remaining Outstanding Advances with respect to such Series 20    -SN   Lease from COLT Collections and recoveries on any other Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets.

(iii) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Indemnified Person through the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or under any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Document, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Documents;

If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 4.01 and the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.

(c) The Servicer’s indemnification obligations under this Section 4.01 shall survive termination or resignation of the COLT Owner Trustee or the COLT Indenture Trustee and the termination of this Agreement.

Any corporation or other entity

(a) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated,

The Servicer shall provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 4.02 to the COLT Indenture Trustee, the COLT Owner Trustee and, if any Rated Notes are outstanding, the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 4.03 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

(a) Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to COLT or any Indemnified Person, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Document, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except errors in judgment) in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Document. The Servicer and any director, officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

 

25


(b) The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer shall be reimbursed by (x) the COLT Owner Trustee for any contractual damages, liability or expense incurred by reason of the COLT Owner Trustee’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the COLT Owner Trustee’s duties under this Agreement, the COLT Indenture, the Declaration of Trust or the COLT 20    -SN   Supplement to the Declaration of Trust or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, the COLT Indenture, or the Declaration of Trust, and (y) the COLT Indenture Trustee for any contractual damages, liability or expense incurred by reason of the COLT Indenture Trustee’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the COLT Indenture Trustee’s duties under this Agreement or any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Documents or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Documents. In no event, however, shall the COLT Indenture Trustee or the COLT Owner Trustee be liable to the Servicer for any damages in the nature of special, indirect or consequential damages, however styled, including lost profits, even if either or both of them have been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage.

(c) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to service the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement or any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Document and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Series 20    -SN   Further Holders under this Agreement. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs for such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be payable from collections received on the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets and the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor.

SECTION 4.04 Delegation of Duties. So long as Ally Financial acts as Servicer, the Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate any duties under this Agreement to General Motors or any corporation or other entity in which (x) more than 15% of the voting interests of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by General Motors and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., in the aggregate or (y) more than 50% of the voting interests of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by General Motors or Ally Financial. The Servicer may at any time perform specific duties as servicer through independent contractors or sub-contractors who are in the business of servicing or providing services to the servicers of automotive retail leases. No such delegation, independent contracting or sub-contracting shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility for such duties.

SECTION 4.05 Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer except (x) upon determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement is no longer permissible under applicable law or (y) upon determination by the board of directors of the Servicer that by reason of change in applicable legal requirements the continued performance

 

26


by the Servicer of its duties as Servicer under this Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner that would result in a material adverse effect on the Servicer or its financial condition, said determination to be evidenced by resolutions of the board of directors to such effect (provided that any Servicer other than Ally Financial may resign if upon such resignation another successor Servicer will perform the duties of Servicer hereunder and such Servicer has been approved by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of COLT 20    -SN   Secured Notes). Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to each of the Series 20    -SN   Further Holders. No such resignation shall become effective until and unless the COLT Indenture Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have entered into a servicing agreement with COLT, such agreement to have substantially the same provisions of this Agreement. COLT shall not unreasonably fail to consent to such a servicing agreement. The resigning Servicer shall promptly provide notice of its resignation to each of the Rating Agencies (if any Rated Notes are outstanding) and Series 20    -SN   Further Holders.

ARTICLE V

SERVICER DEFAULTS

SECTION 5.01 Servicer Defaults. For purposes of this Agreement, each of the following shall constitute a “Servicer Default”:

(a) any failure by the Servicer to deposit any required distribution, payment, transfer or deposit into any COLT 20    -SN   Account (including, with respect to Ally Financial as Servicer, to obtain and deposit Pull Ahead Payments under Section 2.02(b), and, with respect to any successor Servicer, to deposit such amounts, if obtained, pursuant to Section 2.02(b)) or to direct the COLT Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions from any COLT 20    -SN   Account, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five Business Days after (x) written notice thereof is received by the Servicer or (y) discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer;

(b) any failure on the part of the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or in any other COLT 20    -SN   Basic Document, which failure (i) materially and adversely affects the rights of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholder, and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of 90 days after (x) the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer or (y) discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer;

(c) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator for the Servicer, in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of their respective affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

(d) the consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to substantially all of its property; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

 

27


Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Servicer Default where a Servicer Default would otherwise exist under clause (a) above for a period of ten Business Days or under clause (b) for a period of 60 days if the delay or failure giving rise to the default was caused by an act of God or other similar occurrence. Upon the occurrence of any of those events, the Servicer shall not be relieved from using its best efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the COLT Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the COLT Indenture Trustee, the COLT Owner Trustee, COLT, LLC and the CARAT Indenture Trustee, as holder of the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Notes, prompt notice of that failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations.

SECTION 5.02 Consequences of a Servicer Default.

(a) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the COLT Indenture Trustee may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement but any such termination shall not relieve the Servicer for any liability that accrued prior to such termination. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the COLT Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 5.02. The COLT Indenture Trustee is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the COLT Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the COLT Indenture Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the COLT 20    -SN   Accounts or thereafter received with respect to the Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets and all Payments Ahead that shall at that time be held by the Servicer or deposited in the Payment Ahead Servicing Account.

(b) The termination of the Servicer under clause (a) above shall also result in the termination of the Custodian under the Custodian Agreement.

SECTION 5.03 COLT Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the rights and obligations of the Servicer are terminated pursuant to Section 5.02, the COLT Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, restrictions, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the COLT Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no such notice of termination had been given, including the Basic Servicing Fee, the Additional Servicing Fee and the Supplemental

 

28


Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the COLT Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor (i) having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000, (ii) having a long-term unsecured debt rating from Moody’s of at least “Baa3” (unless such requirement is expressly waived by Moody’s), and (iii) whose regular business includes the servicing of automotive instalment contracts, leases or similar receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the COLT Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Series 20    -SN   Lease Assets as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement. The COLT Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Costs associated with the resignation of the Servicer and the appointment of a successor Servicer will be distributed by the COLT Indenture Trustee from amounts in the COLT 200    -SN   Trust Estate.

SECTION 5.04 Notification to the Series 20    -SN   Further Holders and the Rating Agencies. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article V, the COLT Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Series 20    -SN   Further Holders and the Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Rating Agencies (if any Rated Notes are outstanding). The COLT Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Servicer Default unless the COLT Indenture Trustee has received notice of such event or circumstance from the Servicer in an Officer’s Certificate or from the COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders or, unless a Responsible Officer of the COLT Indenture Trustee with knowledge hereof and familiarity herewith has actual knowledge of such event or circumstance. If the Servicer obtains knowledge that any Servicer Default has occurred, the Servicer shall promptly deliver notice of such event to the COLT Indenture Trustee, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the facts surrounding such event.

SECTION 5.05 Waiver of Past Servicer Defaults. The COLT 20    -SN   Secured Noteholders may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.06 Repayment of Outstanding Advances. If the identity of the Servicer shall change, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the same extent as if it were still the Servicer hereunder pursuant to Article III, to the extent of available funds, reimbursement for all Outstanding Advances that were made by such predecessor Servicer and have not been repaid.
