Subject to the conditions set forth below, on any Allocation Date prior to the termination of the Commitments, additional amounts may be borrowed or reborrowed by the Issuer under the 2011-A Trust Notes (each, a “Borrowing”). Notice of any Borrowing shall be given by the Issuer and the Borrower to the Administrative Agents and the Indenture Trustee no later than 11:00 a.m., Toronto time, at least two Business Days prior to such Borrowing Date (except for any initial Borrowing on the 2011-A Closing Date, for which such Borrowing Notice may be delivered no later than 11:00 a.m., Toronto time on such day).

(a) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agents thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect to such event. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the 2011-A Servicing Agreement with respect to the 2011-A Borrower Note Assets, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Required Noteholders, may, or may direct the Issuer to (and it shall thereupon), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer with respect to the 2011-A Borrower Note Assets only and appoint a Successor Servicer pursuant to the 2011-A Servicing Agreement.

- 10 -


  Applicable Law, including applicable securities laws, have notes clearly stating that the Issuer is a separate trust and that its assets are not available to satisfy the claims of the creditors of such GMF Entity;

  (L) correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity; and

 

  (M) not guarantee or otherwise become liable for any obligations of any GMF Entity except as set forth in the Related Documents or comparable documents entered into in connection with any other Series.

SECTION 4.6 Compliance with Laws.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V, it shall apply such money or property to (i) first, reimburse itself for any amounts due under Section 6.6 of the Indenture, (ii) second, pay the Issuer Trustee for unpaid fees, indemnities and expenses owing to it hereunder, under the Indenture or under the Declaration of Trust and (iii) third, pay to the Servicer any due and unpaid Servicing Fee and then apply the remainder of such money or property in accordance with Section 6.2(a). The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least fifteen (15) days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Series Collateral. This Section 5.5 replaces Section 5.7 of the Indenture for purposes of Series 2011-A. If the 2011-A Trust Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may nonetheless, at the direction of the Required Noteholders, elect to maintain possession of the Series Collateral. It is the intention of the parties to this Indenture Supplement and the Noteholders that there at all times be sufficient funds derived from the Series Collateral for the payment of principal of and interest on the 2011-A Trust Notes and any payments due to any other Series Secured Parties. The Indenture Trustee will take such intention into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Series Collateral.

SECTION 5.6 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture Supplement, any Noteholder shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on its 2011-A Trust Note on or after the respective due dates thereof

 

- 22 -


expressed in such 2011-A Trust Note or in this Indenture Supplement (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), in each case subject to the Priority and Limited Recourse Provisions, and to institute a Proceeding for the enforcement of any such payment in accordance with Section 5.8 of the Indenture. Such rights may not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Noteholder.

SECTION 5.7 Control by Required Noteholders. The Required Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the 2011-A Trust Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that:

(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture Supplement or the Indenture (as modified hereby); and

(ii) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.1 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability without receiving indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

SECTION 5.8 Waiver of Past Events of Default. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the 2011-A Trust Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Required Noteholders may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default resulting from a default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the 2011-A Trust Notes, (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof or of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder, or (c) an Event of Default under Section 5.1(e). Any waiver of a Default or an Event of Default of a type set forth in (a) through (c) of the preceding sentence shall require the consent of all Noteholders. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture Supplement and the Indenture; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.9 Action on 2011-A Trust Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the 2011-A Trust Notes or under this Indenture Supplement or under the Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture Supplement or the Indenture. Neither the Lien of the Indenture on the Series Collateral nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders or any other Series Secured Parties shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Series Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

 

- 23 -


SECTION 5.10 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Issuer Obligations.

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Financial Services Agent’s expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by each of the Servicer and the Borrower, of each of its obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with any of the Related Documents insofar as they relate to the 2011-A Borrower Note, the 2011-A Borrower Note Assets or the Series Secured Liabilities, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Related Documents to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Servicer or the Borrower of its obligations under the Related Documents insofar as they relate to the 2011-A Borrower Note, the 2011-A Borrower Note Assets or the Series Secured Liabilities.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Required Noteholders shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Servicer, the Borrower or the Performance Guarantor under or in connection with the Related Documents insofar as they relate to the 2011-A Borrower Note, the 2011-A Borrower Note Assets or the Series Secured Liabilities, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Servicer, the Borrower or the Performance Guarantor of its obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Related Documents insofar as they relate to the 2011-A Borrower Note, the 2011-A Borrower Note Assets or the Series Secured Liabilities and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended if so directed by the Indenture Trustee.

under this Indenture Supplement or any other Related Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Noteholders, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Noteholders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Noteholders by an Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agents shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Noteholder with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Issuer, FinanciaLinx (as the Servicer or otherwise), the Performance Guarantor or the Borrower or any of their Affiliates which may come into the possession of either Administrative Agent or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 9.7 Indemnification. Each of the Noteholders (other than the CP Conduits) and the related Agents, agree to indemnify each Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Issuer or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Issuer or the Borrower to do so), rateably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments (or if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated, rateably in accordance with their respective interests in the Note Principal Balance) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the 2011-A Trust Notes shall have been repaid, rateably in accordance with the respective amounts of their Commitments immediately prior to their termination), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Indenture Supplement, any of the other Related Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Noteholder or Agent shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the related Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 9.8 The Administrative Agents in Their Individual Capacities. The Administrative Agents and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Issuer, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any of their Affiliates as though neither Administrative Agent were an Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to any 2011-A Trust Note held by an Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Indenture Supplement and the other Related Documents as any Noteholder or Agent and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and the terms “Noteholder,” and “Agent” shall include such Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.9 Resignation of Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent. Either Administrative Agent may resign as an Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ notice to the Agents, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer and the other Administrative Agent. If one Administrative Agent is still serving in such capacity when the other Administrative Agent resigns in accordance with this Section then that non-resigning Administrative Agent shall continue serving as the sole Administrative Agent. If after the resignation of the related Administrative Agent no Administrative Agent would then be serving under this Indenture Supplement, then the Required Noteholders shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Agents, which successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by the Issuer and the Servicer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the last then-serving Administrative Agent, the last-retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Agents, the Issuer and the Servicer, a successor agent from among the Agents. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the last-retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Indenture Trustee shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Noteholders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Indenture Supplement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Indenture Supplement and the other Related Documents.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of GMF Canada Leasing Trust Floating Rate Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2011-A (the “2011-A Trust Notes”), which are issued under the Indenture Documents. The Indenture Documents and all indentures supplemental thereto set forth the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders of 2011-A Trust Notes. The 2011-A Trust Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture Documents. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture Documents, the Indenture Documents will prevail.

The 2011-A Trust Notes are and will be secured by the Series Collateral with respect to Series 2011-A as provided in the Indenture Supplement and subject to the Priority and Limited Recourse Provisions. Interest on and principal of the 2011-A Trust Notes will be payable in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 6.2 of the Indenture Supplement.

Payments of interest and principal will be made to the Registered Noteholder hereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Registered Noteholder. However, the final instalment of principal of this Note paying the entire unpaid principal amount of the 2011-A Trust Notes on a Payment Date, Interim Payment Date or the Redemption Date, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note in the manner specified in Section 3.1(d) or 8.2, as applicable, of the Indenture Supplement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the 2011-A Trust Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee shall have declared the 2011-A Trust Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture Supplement, or the 2011-A Trust Notes shall have otherwise become immediately due and payable without any act or declaration on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any other Person. All principal payments on the 2011-A Trust Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders entitled thereto.

Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more predecessor 2011-A Trust Notes to this Note) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date, Interim Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any 2011-A Trust Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.

The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer specified on the face of this Note and to the other limitations set forth in the Indenture Documents and the Note Purchase Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder of this Note or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature meeting the requirements, if any, of the Note Registrar, and thereupon one or more new 2011-A Trust Notes in authorized denominations and


in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

The Noteholder or Note Owner (and its successors and transferees), by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, (i) acknowledges that it has read and is familiar with the provisions of Sections 10.12, 10.13 and 10.14 of the Indenture and (ii) agrees that it is bound thereby and shall comply therewith.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Paying Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture Documents) is registered as the owner of this Note for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Paying Agent or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture Documents permit, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture Documents at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Required Noteholders. The Indenture Documents also contain provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified percentages of the aggregate amount Outstanding of the 2011-A Trust Notes, on behalf of the Noteholders of all the 2011-A Trust Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture Documents and certain past defaults under the Indenture Documents and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note (or any one or more predecessor 2011-A Trust Notes to this Note) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any 2011-A Trust Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

The 2011-A Trust Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture Supplement, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

This Note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
