(b) As contemplated by Section 14(c) hereof, periodically, NEW WORLD may sell an Instrument, including the related Promissory Note, related to a particular Advance to NEW WORLD FUNDING, LLC (herein called “FUNDING”) as may be determined by NEW WORLD, in its sole and absolute discretion, and in connection with such sale, NEW WORLD will assign to FUNDING its security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other related Collateral, together with such portion of its rights under this Agreement as are attributable to such Promissory Note and Instrument and its security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other related Collateral (herein called a “Note Purchase”); FUNDING, in its sole discretion, may finance each Note Purchase with a lender (herein called “Lender”) and in connection with such financing will collaterally assign to the Lender its interest in such Promissory Note and Instrument and its security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other related Collateral, together with such portion of its rights under this Agreement as are attributable to such Promissory Note and Instrument and its security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other related Collateral, as collateral security for the loan related to such Note Purchase (herein called the “Note Purchase Financing”). Borrower agrees that FUNDING, the Lender and any other purchaser, successor, assignee or transferee of FUNDING’s rights to the Promissory Note and Instrument and the security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other related Collateral, together with such portion of NEW WORLD’s rights under this Agreement as are attributable to such Promissory Note and Instrument and its security interests in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other related Collateral, will have all of the rights of NEW WORLD under this Agreement with respect

 

21


to such Promissory Note and Instrument and its security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other related Collateral. Upon each Note Purchase and any related Note Purchase Financing, the Custodian will serve as the agent for FUNDING and the Lender as described in Section 5(a) hereof.

 

(c) Notwithstanding any Note Purchase or Note Purchase Financing, Borrower shall remain fully liable for all of its obligations and Liabilities under this Agreement including, without limitation, with respect to all Promissory Notes and each Promissory Note in connection with a Note Purchase and a Note Purchase Financing, all in accordance with their terms and the related Liabilities. Notwithstanding any Note Purchase or Note Purchase Financing, each Guarantor shall remain fully liable under the terms of its Guaranty including, without limitation, with respect to all of the obligations and Liabilities of the Borrower to NEW WORLD under this Agreement and, in addition, with respect to all of the obligations and Liabilities of the Borrower to FUNDING, Lender and any successor or assignee with respect to each Promissory Note, whether or not the subject of a Note Purchase or a Note Purchase Financing.

 

(d) In order to effectuate the role of the Custodian in connection with the processing of each MSO, Title and notice of recorded lien, or its equivalent, the Borrower and/or the dealer from whom the Motor Vehicle is purchased with an Advance shall specify on each MSO, Title, notice of recorded lien, or its equivalent and all applications therefor, the following: “First Lienholder – U.S. Bank, National Association as Custodian”.

 

6. Defaulted Leases and Off-Lease Vehicles:

 

If any of the following events occur: any Lease is in default for any reason whatsoever for more than sixty (60) days; or if Borrower does not give NEW WORLD, promptly after written request

 

22


therefor, the location of a Lessee or of a Motor Vehicle; or if a Motor Vehicle is returned to Borrower or is repossessed by Borrower, or ceases to be held by a Lessee for any reason; or if a Lessee fails to confirm delivery of a Motor Vehicle (each of the foregoing events is herein called a “Trigger Event”); then upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Borrower shall forthwith notify NEW WORLD of the Trigger Event and shall immediately pay to NEW WORLD, as the Servicer of the Lease, the full amount of the Liability related to such Lease and Motor Vehicle, in accordance with the applicable Promissory Note plus all accrued and unpaid late charges (herein called the “Defaulted Lease Payment”), less (with respect to remaining monthly installments) NEW WORLD’S unearned interest for periods after such payment. Each Motor Vehicle that comes into the possession of the Borrower, or under the control of the Borrower, after the Motor Vehicle has been delivered to the Lessee under the Lease, whether as a result of a Trigger Event or otherwise, is herein called an “Off-Lease Vehicle”. Borrower expressly acknowledges that each Off-Lease Vehicle remains the Collateral of NEW WORLD and that NEW WORLD shall continue to have a perfected first priority purchase money security interest in each Off-Lease Vehicle. Borrower expressly agrees that it will hold and continue to hold each Off-Lease Vehicle in trust for the benefit of NEW WORLD, which Off-Lease Vehicle shall not be commingled with the inventory of Borrower until Borrower has fully paid the Defaulted Lease Payment or, if an Event of Default has occurred, until Borrower has paid all Liabilities under this Agreement. Until payment is made, as aforesaid, no Off-Lease Vehicle shall be sold without the prior written consent of NEW WORLD in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding that NEW WORLD may consent to such sale, Borrower expressly acknowledges that NEW WORLD has a perfected first priority security interest in the proceeds obtained upon the sale of the Off-Lease Vehicle. Borrower expressly agrees that it will hold the entire proceeds obtained upon the sale of any Off-Lease Vehicle in trust for the benefit

 

23


of NEW WORLD, which proceeds shall be and remain apart from the funds of Borrower and shall not be commingled with the Borrower’s funds and the proceeds shall be paid and remitted forthwith to NEW WORLD in the same form as when received, whether by check, draft or other written instrument calling for the payment of money, duly endorsed for transfer and payment to NEW WORLD. Upon receipt of the Defaulted Lease Payment, and provided an Event of Default does not then exist, NEW WORLD will release its security interest in the Off-Lease Vehicle and the related Lease. Until Borrower has fully complied with all of the foregoing, NEW WORLD will have no obligation to provide Borrower with the Title to the Off-Lease Vehicle. If a Trigger Event occurs and Borrower fails to make the payment as provided herein, Borrower shall forthwith deliver each Off-Lease Vehicle to NEW WORLD or its designee which is in the possession or under the control of Borrower.

 

7. Interest on Late Payments:

 

If any amount payable on any of Borrower’s Liabilities is not paid in full when due, including, without limitation, any payment to be made under a Lease which causes payment under the related Promissory Note to be delinquent and provided that the late charges due under the related Lease remain unpaid at the time that the related Promissory Note is paid in full, whether at its scheduled or earlier termination by acceleration or otherwise, and provided an Event of Default has not occurred, Borrower will pay interest on such delinquent payment, from its due date until it is paid in full, at the same rate as then payable on the latest Advance made to Borrower hereunder prior to such delinquency or at such rate as is otherwise agreed to by NEW WORLD in writing, but in no event more than the highest amount permitted by Applicable Law. If an Event of Default has occurred, then the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the payment of interest shall be applicable.

 

24


8. Collections:

 

(a) Borrower irrevocably authorizes NEW WORLD, to enforce the Leases and claims against Lessees and others, adjust and settle insurance claims, and collect all sums due and to become due in respect of the foregoing, at such times, by such means and on such terms and conditions as NEW WORLD may in its sole and absolute discretion deem advisable, endorse Borrower’s name on and collect checks and other instruments representing payments, and receive and open mail relating to Motor Vehicles and Leases. NEW WORLD shall not be obligated to exercise all or any of the foregoing authority, and shall have no liability for exercising, or refraining from exercising, or for the manner of exercising, any such authority.

 

(b) All sums collected by NEW WORLD, after deducting NEW WORLD’s collection expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), may be applied by NEW WORLD at such times and in such amounts as NEW WORLD may determine, as follows:

 

(i) to the payment of the Liabilities (including, without limitation, all late charges and other charges) relating to the Motor Vehicle or Lease in respect of which such sums were received, due at the time or becoming due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) in the month in which such sums are received by NEW WORLD; and

 

(ii) the balance, if any, remaining at the end of each month may be remitted to the Borrower, as cash flow on or about the 10th day of the following month.

 

Until such sums are so applied or remitted they shall be retained by NEW WORLD, without interest, as part of the Collateral. It is agreed that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, no sums will be released to Borrower except in the sole and absolute discretion of NEW WORLD and

 

25


any release of such sums after an Event of Default has occurred shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies provided under this Agreement including, without limitation, the right to withhold the further release of any sums. Upon payment in full of all Liabilities, the balance, if any, then held by NEW WORLD shall be remitted to Borrower.

 

9. NEW WORLD Payments to Borrower as Trust Funds:

 

NEW WORLD may, from time to time, provide sums to Borrower (by wire transfer, check, draft or other instrument for the payment of money) which sums shall be trust funds held by Borrower for disbursement, as follows: (i) proceeds of Advances shall be disbursed in full only to the person, partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other business entity from which Borrower purchases the Motor Vehicle in respect of which the Advance is made in an amount not exceeding the actual purchase price paid by Borrower for such Motor Vehicle; (ii) taxes shall be disbursed, in full, only to the appropriate federal, state or local taxing authority at the time and in the manner required by Applicable Law; and (iii) any other sums which NEW WORLD provides to Borrower, which sums are specified by NEW WORLD to be used for payment to a named person, partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other business entity, or agency of any federal, state or local government, shall be disbursed only in accordance with NEW WORLD’s prior written instructions. All sums provided by NEW WORLD to Borrower as aforesaid shall be and remain segregated and apart from Borrower’s funds on the Books and Records of Borrower and Borrower shall not commingle its funds with any of the aforesaid trust funds.

 

10. Events of Default and Remedies:

 

(a) The happening of any of the following events and the continuance thereof unremedied for the grace period specified, if any, is referred to herein as an “Event of Default”: (i) default in

 

26


payment of any of Borrower’s Liabilities for ten (10) days after payment is due; (ii) the making of any misrepresentation or the breach of any covenant, warranty or other agreement by Borrower or any Guarantor that is contained in this Agreement or in any Instrument, Guaranty or other document delivered to NEW WORLD at any time; (iii) if the insurance on any Motor Vehicle is cancelled or expires and is not reinstated or replaced before the effective date of cancellation or expiration; (iv) if Borrower or any Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver or a similar officer is appointed for Borrower or any Guarantor or for any property of the Borrower or any Guarantor and is not removed within thirty (30) days or if a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency statute is commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor and is not discontinued within thirty (30) days; (v) if Borrower or any Guarantor suspends, discontinues or changes the nature of its business to a material extent, or dissolves, or disposes of all or a substantial part of its assets or business; (vi) if any judgment is entered against Borrower or any Guarantor and is not satisfied within thirty (30) days, or any levy, attachment or execution is made against any property of Borrower or any Guarantor, or if any proceeding supplementary to a judgment against Borrower or any Guarantor is commenced; (vii) if Borrower or any Guarantor fails to withhold, collect or remit when asserted or due any tax applicable to the business or operations of the Borrower or any Guarantor in accordance with Applicable Law including, without limitation, any income tax, withholding tax, Sales Tax, use tax or other tax assessment or other sum due with respect to any Motor Vehicle or for any other Collateral held for any of the Liabilities; (viii) if any Guarantor dissolves or dies; (ix) if any material change of ownership, control or management of Borrower or any Guarantor shall occur; (x) if (in the sole opinion of NEW WORLD) any material adverse change shall occur in the condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower or any Guarantor or if

 

27


any of the Collateral is (in the sole opinion of NEW WORLD) unsafe or at any risk; (xi) if a filing or issuance of a notice of lien or levy for taxes occurs against the Borrower or any Guarantor; (xii) if there is a sale of the securities, business or assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor, without the prior written consent of NEW WORLD in its sole and absolute discretion, except in the ordinary course of business; (xiii) the suspension by any regulatory agency or government or any securities exchange of any material activities of the Borrower or any Guarantor; and (xiv) if any of the foregoing shall occur as to, by, or against any maker, endorser, guarantor, surety, accommodation party or other person liable upon or for any of the Instruments, Liabilities, Leases or other Collateral. If an Event of Default occurs as a result of the provisions in subsection (xiv) of this Section being applicable to a Lessee or a guarantor of a Lessee, such Event of Default shall be deemed a Trigger Event under the provisions of Section 6, and provided the Borrower forthwith notifies NEW WORLD of such Trigger Event and immediately makes the payment in the manner and as required under Section 6, such Trigger Event shall not constitute an Event of Default, provided further, that no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the Liabilities (including, without limitation, all amounts arising from the resulting mandatory prepayment of the Liabilities) shall become forthwith due and payable without further notice or demand, and without limiting any rights, remedies or authority NEW WORLD may have before an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay NEW WORLD the then unpaid balance of all of the Liabilities together with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law from the date of such Event of Default. NEW WORLD shall also have and may exercise, at such time or times and in such order or priority as NEW WORLD may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, against Borrower

 

28


and others and with respect to any Collateral, all the rights and remedies granted under the UCC and the Uniform Vehicle Certificate of Title Act (whether or not either is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted), and such other rights and remedies as are provided under any other Applicable Law, hereunder, by any other Instrument or Guaranty or document executed at any time, or by law, and in addition but without limitation and without impairing Borrower’s obligations, in NEW WORLD’s sole and absolute discretion, NEW WORLD may but need not (i) enforce, compromise, extend, modify or discharge any Lease and any claim relating to a Lease or Motor Vehicle, collect all sums payable with respect thereto and grant any indulgence or allowance to a Lessee or other party as NEW WORLD may deem advisable, (ii) exercise any right granted under a Lease including, without limitation, the right of termination upon a default by the Lessee, and sell, or enter into a new lease for, the Motor Vehicle covered by such Lease, (iii) cure any Event of Default arising under clause (i) of Section 10(a) hereof, at the option of NEW WORLD in its sole and absolute discretion, by increasing one or more of the Liabilities by an amount equal to the cost of such cure, (iv) repossess without notice, and after or without repossession sell or otherwise dispose of all or any Motor Vehicles, Leases or other Collateral at one or more public or private sales or other dispositions, on at least ten (10) days notice to Borrower, of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale or other disposition may be made (which notice Borrower acknowledges is reasonable), at such times and places, at wholesale or retail, for cash or on credit, on such terms and for such consideration as NEW WORLD may deem advisable, and (v) take possession of the Books and Records of Borrower. At any public sale, NEW WORLD may be the purchaser, free of any equity of Borrower’s which Borrower hereby waives. NEW WORLD may require Borrower to assemble Collateral and make it available at a place designated by NEW WORLD, reasonably

 

29


convenient to NEW WORLD. The net proceeds realized from any such sale, lease or other disposition or the exercise of any other remedy, after deducting all expenses relating thereto including, without limitation, the costs of repossessing, storing and repairing Motor Vehicles, commissions payable in connection with any new lease or sale, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of NEW WORLD, shall be applied toward payment of Borrower’s Liabilities, in such order and amounts as NEW WORLD may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, and Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency and shall be entitled to any surplus.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, NEW WORLD may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, pursue any one or more of the foregoing remedies, any combination thereof, and any other remedy or remedies available at law or in equity. NEW WORLD shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve the Collateral or any rights against prior parties to any Collateral, nor shall it be required to proceed against Collateral prior to proceeding against Borrower, or any Guarantor. After an Event of Default, if NEW WORLD shall elect to first proceed as against any Collateral, it shall, nonetheless, have the right to thereafter proceed against Borrower and/or any Guarantor and by exercising such election, neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be released from any Instrument or Liability.

 

11. Reserve:

 

(a) From each Advance that NEW WORLD makes to Borrower there shall be deducted, or at the time of the Advance, Borrower shall deliver and pledge to NEW WORLD, such amount constituting cash collateral as may be mutually agreed which, with all similar deductions or cash

 

30


collateral delivered in connection with other Advances, shall constitute a single “Reserve” that shall be retained by NEW WORLD as part of the Collateral securing all Borrower’s Liabilities, now existing or hereafter arising. The Reserve will be deposited in an interest bearing account at a federally insured bank. If any of the Liabilities is not paid in full when due, whether before or after any Trigger Event or an Event of Default, NEW WORLD may, in its sole and absolute discretion, but need not, charge the amount thereof against the Reserve, without notice to Borrower and whether or not NEW WORLD shall have taken any action with respect to any other Collateral or otherwise. Borrower shall continue to be liable for any deficiency. Charges against the Reserve shall be applied against the earliest amounts of cash collateral received by NEW WORLD.

 

(b) Within a reasonable time after payment in full of all of Borrower’s Liabilities, and provided an Event of Default does not then exist, NEW WORLD will release and pay to Borrower the balance of the Reserve, less any part of the Reserve that may have theretofore been applied by NEW WORLD toward the payment of any of Borrower’s Liabilities, together with interest thereon calculated from the date the remaining amounts of cash collateral of the Reserve were first received by New World.

 

12. Prepayment:

 

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have prepayment rights limited as follows:

 

(a) The Borrower shall only have the right to prepay a specific Promissory Note and the Liabilities related only to such Promissory Note, provided that the Lessee under the specific Lease related to such Promissory Note (i) elects to terminate the Lease pursuant to a specific

 

31


provision under Applicable Law permitting such termination, or (ii) elects to terminate the Lease pursuant to a specific term or provision of the Lease, or (iii) any Trigger Event has occurred under the related Lease, as specified in Section 6 hereof. Upon the date of such termination or Trigger Event, the Borrower shall be required to pay the full amount of the Liability related to the Lease and Motor Vehicle, in accordance with the applicable instruments including, without limitation, the principal balance of the Promissory Note or Promissory Notes prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and any other amounts then due or payable including late charges). Except as specifically permitted herein, the Borrower shall have no right to prepay any other Promissory Notes, Instruments or Liabilities.

 

(b) Borrower may at any time voluntarily prepay all of the Liabilities by paying the full amount of such Liabilities in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable instruments including, without limitation, the principal balance of the Promissory Note or Promissory Notes prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and any other amounts then due or payable including late charges) plus the Make-Whole Payment. “Make-Whole Payment” shall be defined as the excess of (i) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled loan payment discounted, from the date such scheduled loan payment is due to the date of such prepayment, at the Treasury Rate, compounded with the same frequency as the occurrence of the scheduled payment dates, over (ii) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled loan payment discounted, from the date such scheduled loan payment is due to the date of such prepayment, at an interest rate equal to the interest rate provided for in the Promissory Note. “Treasury Rate” shall mean the then prevailing yield on U. S. Treasury Constant Maturities, as quoted in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) on the date of such prepayment for an obligation with a maturity date closest to the remaining term of the

 

32


Note. The Make-Whole Payment shall be paid to NEW WORLD as compensation for the costs incurred by NEW WORLD in making funds available under this Agreement and for the loss of the bargain agreed upon by the parties.

 

13. Consent to Relief from Stay:

 

The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that in the event the Borrower (by its own action, or the action of any other persons) shall, on or before the date NEW WORLD is paid in full for the Liabilities in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and under the Instruments and related documents, (a) file with a bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or be the subject of any petition for relief under Title 11 of the U.S. Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), as amended, or any otherwise Applicable Law of any jurisdiction, (b) be the subject of an order for relief issued under the Bankruptcy Code, (c) file or be the subject of any petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, (d) have sought or consented to or acquiesced in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, (e) be the subject of any order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against such party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief for debtors, NEW WORLD shall thereupon be entitled to relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to NEW WORLD as provided in this Agreement, the Instruments and related documents, and as otherwise provided by Applicable Law including, without limitation, its right to foreclose upon and repossess the Collateral, and the Borrower hereby

 

33


waives the benefits of such automatic stay and consents and agrees to raise no objection to any request made by NEW WORLD for such relief.

 

14. Miscellaneous:

 

(a) If Borrower fails to comply with any term, covenant or provision of this Agreement including, without limitation, any warranty or representation hereunder, or fails to perform its obligations under any Lease, then in addition to any other right that NEW WORLD may have, it may, in its sole and absolute discretion, perform on behalf of Borrower and, in that event, Borrower shall pay NEW WORLD, on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by NEW WORLD in connection therewith, with interest thereon at a rate equal to four percent (4%) above the rate charged by NEW WORLD to Borrower on the last Promissory Note evidencing NEW WORLD’S last Advance to Borrower, but in no event more than the highest interest rate permitted by Applicable Law. Such costs, expenses and interest shall be Liabilities hereunder. After an Event of Default has occurred, if any amount payable on any Instrument or Liability is not paid in full when due, Borrower shall pay interest on such delinquent payment, from its due date until it is paid in full, at the highest interest rate permitted by law.

 

(b) As used in this Agreement, NEW WORLD includes within its meaning the successors and assigns of NEW WORLD and their successors and assigns.

 

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, as determined by NEW WORLD in its sole and absolute discretion, Borrower hereby agrees that NEW WORLD may sell each Promissory Note related to an Advance and in connection with such sale assign its security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other Collateral, together with such portion of its rights under this Agreement as are attributable to

 

34


such Promissory Note and its Security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other Collateral, and/or it may sell all Promissory Notes related to all Advances and in connection with such sale transfer this Agreement and its security interest in the Collateral; and/or it may collaterally assign its interest in each Promissory Note related to an Advance and assign its security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other Collateral together with such portion of its rights under this Agreement as are attributable to such Promissory Note and its security interest in the related Lease, Motor Vehicle, Reserve and other Collateral, and/or it may collaterally assign its interest in all Promissory Notes related to all Advances, together with this Agreement, and/or it may do all or any part of the foregoing without notice to Borrower. Any purchaser, successor, assignee or transferee with respect to any of the foregoing shall have the same rights, powers and authorities as are granted to NEW WORLD hereunder and upon a sale, assignment or transfer, NEW WORLD shall be fully discharged from all claims with respect to Collateral so sold, assigned or transferred, but NEW WORLD shall retain all rights, powers and authorities with respect to any Collateral not so sold, assigned or transferred. Borrower waives any and all right to assert against a purchaser, successor, assignee or transferee of NEW WORLD, or any subsequent purchaser, successor, assignee or transferee, any defense, claim, counterclaim or setoff that Borrower may have against NEW WORLD or which Borrower could assert against NEW WORLD in an action brought by New World against Borrower under this Agreement. Borrower shall not sell, assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest in any Collateral without the prior written consent of NEW WORLD in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d) No delay on the part of NEW WORLD or any purchaser, successor, assignee or transferee in exercising any right, power or authority under this Agreement or any Promissory

 

35


Note, Instrument or related document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or authority preclude other or further exercising thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or authority. The rights, powers and authorities granted hereunder to NEW WORLD, its purchasers, successors, assigns or transferees, are irrevocable, cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be deemed in addition to, any rights, power or authorities that NEW WORLD or its purchasers, successors, assigns or transferees may or would otherwise have. The provisions of this Agreement are in addition to the provisions of any Promissory Note, Instrument, assignment or other document heretofore, contemporaneously herewith or hereafter executed by Borrower and shall apply to all future as well as to all existing Advances, Promissory Notes, Instruments and Liabilities and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Borrower. The latter clause with respect to the successors and assigns of Borrower shall not be construed to modify the prohibition against a sale, assignment or transfer of Borrower’s rights or obligations hereunder or with respect to any interest in any Collateral as set forth in Section 14(c) hereof.

 

(e) The execution of this Agreement by NEW WORLD shall not in any way be construed, either now or in the future, as imposing upon NEW WORLD the obligation to make any Advance to Borrower whatsoever, or as an assumption by NEW WORLD of any liability or responsibility to any Lessee under a Lease or to any third party or with respect to any Motor Vehicle, whether by reason of any term or provision of this Agreement or any Lease, Motor Vehicle, Collateral, Liabilities, Instruments, assignment, or other instrument or document executed or delivered by NEW WORLD or Borrower in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Nothing contained herein or in any other document and no action taken by or omission of NEW WORLD shall be deemed an assumption by NEW WORLD of any obligation

 

36


under any Lease or with respect to any Motor Vehicle. NEW WORLD shall have absolutely no obligation at any time to repair, insure, title, register or license any Motor Vehicle.

 

(f) In the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement or any other document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

 

(g) In the event any term or provision of this Agreement shall be declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall be limited solely to the specific term or provision invalidated by such court and, nonetheless, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms.

 

(h) Borrower shall, at its own expense, execute such other documents and take such other actions as NEW WORLD may reasonably require in order to confirm or give effect to any term or provision of this Agreement or any Promissory Note, Instrument or document delivered to NEW WORLD.

 

(i) Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds NEW WORLD harmless from all claims, suits, damages or losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) sustained by NEW WORLD and arising directly or indirectly from or relating to: (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, any Promissory Note, Instrument, Lease or related document; (ii) the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement, any Promissory Note, Instrument, Lease or related document; or (iii) any Collateral including, without limitation, any Lease, the breach of any Lease by Borrower or any Lessee, or arising directly or indirectly from the use or operation of any Motor Vehicle including, without limitation, the design, manufacture, purchase, installation, delivery, repair, replacement or condition of any Motor Vehicle and irrespective of whether any defects claimed are latent or

 

37


discoverable by Borrower or Lessee, any and all loss or damage to a Motor Vehicle, any failure by Borrower or Lessee to comply in any respect with any Applicable Law to a Motor Vehicle or Lease or the violation by Borrower or Lessee of any Applicable Law.

 

(j) If any term or provision of this Agreement requires the written consent or written instructions of NEW WORLD, such written consent or written instructions shall not be deemed given unless the applicable document is executed by an executive officer of NEW WORLD.

 

(k) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, NEW WORLD shall have and may exercise, without further notice, a right of set-off and lien against and in respect of any of the Collateral including, without limitation, the Reserve. Any right of set-off exercised by NEW WORLD shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately on the occurrence of an Event of Default, even though such set-off is made or entered on the books of NEW WORLD subsequent thereto.

 

(l) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints NEW WORLD, and all persons and entities designated by NEW WORLD for that purpose, with full power of substitution, as Borrower’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact to make, execute, sign, endorse, acknowledge, file and deliver in Borrower’s name, place and stead, in NEW WORLD’S sole and absolute discretion, as follows: to execute, acknowledge and deliver such certificates and other evidences of title, notices of recorded lien, or their equivalents, registrations, UCC financing statements, amendments, assignments and/or terminations, and/or such other documents and instruments in writing of whatever kind and nature, and to do all acts and things, as may be necessary or appropriate to: (i) vest in NEW WORLD all of NEW WORLD’S rights and benefits as provided under this Agreement including, without limitation, endorsing the name of Borrower upon any

 

38


Lease, certificate of title, financing statement, document, instrument, or similar document or agreement evidencing or relating to the Collateral or any lien on the Collateral; (ii) perfect NEW WORLD’S security interest in any of the Collateral; and/or (iii) release and discharge, and/or assign to NEW WORLD, Borrower’s security interest, if any, in the Collateral. Borrower hereby ratifies, approves and confirms all lawful acts that NEW WORLD, and its respective designees or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this power. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable for all purposes with respect to the foregoing matters, but neither NEW WORLD nor its designees shall have any obligation to do any of the foregoing or to perfect, renew or preserve the Collateral or NEW WORLD’S security interest. Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse NEW WORLD for all expenses incurred by NEW WORLD in perfecting or maintaining perfection of NEW WORLD’S security interest in any Collateral, and such expenses shall constitute Liabilities hereunder.

 

(m) All notices, requests, approvals, demands and consents provided for herein shall be in writing and deemed effectively given or made when sent by either: (i) registered or certified first class mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or (ii) a nationally recognized overnight courier, to the parties at their addresses as set forth first above or in each case, at such other address as a party may from time to time designate as its address in writing to the other party to this Agreement with notice as provided in this paragraph. Borrower waives demand, protest and notice of default and dishonor with respect to the Promissory Notes, Leases, and collections. No provision hereof and no right or remedy of NEW WORLD may be waived except in writing signed by an executive officer of NEW WORLD. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NASSAU IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR

 

39
