“Series 2007-2 Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2007-2 Noteholders, each Series 2007-2 Interest Rate Swap Counterparty and the Surety Provider. The Series 2007-2 Reserve Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account; provided that, if at any time such Qualified Institution is no longer a Qualified Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such depositary institution or trust company shall be reduced to below “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s or “Baa2” by Moody’s, then ABRCF shall, within thirty (30) days of such reduction, establish a new Series 2007-2 Reserve Account with a new Qualified Institution.

All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical property (and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security entitlement) shall be physically delivered to the Trustee; (ii) United States security entitlements or security entitlements shall be controlled (as defined in Section 8-106 of the New York UCC) by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition, and (iii) uncertificated securities (and not United States security entitlements) shall be delivered to the Trustee by causing the Trustee to become the registered holder of such securities. The Trustee shall, at the expense of ABRCF, take such action as is required to maintain the Trustee’s security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account. ABRCF shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the purchase price of such Permitted Investments. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.
(c) Earnings from Series 2007-2 Reserve Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account shall be deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution.

The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account. The Series 2007-2 Reserve Account Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2007-2 Noteholders, each Series 2007-2 Interest Rate Swap Counterparty and the Surety Provider. The Series 2007-2 Agent hereby agrees (i) to act as the securities intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC) with respect to the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account; (ii) that its jurisdiction as securities intermediary is New York; (iii) that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account shall be treated as a financial asset (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC) and (iv) to comply with any entitlement order (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) issued by the Trustee.
(e) Series 2007-2 Reserve Account Surplus. In the event that the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account Surplus on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals from the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account, is greater than zero, if no Series 2007-2 Enhancement Deficiency or AESOP I Operating Lease Vehicle Deficiency would result therefrom or exist thereafter, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator (with a copy of such written instructions to be provided by the Administrator to the Surety Provider) pursuant to the Administration Agreement, shall withdraw from the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account an amount equal to the Series 2007-2 Reserve Account Surplus and shall pay such amount to ABRCF.

ARTICLE IV
RIGHT TO WAIVE PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture or the Related Documents, but subject in all respects to the Surety Provider’s rights under Section 6.11, upon the Trustee’s receipt of notice from any Lessee, any Borrower or ABRCF that the Lessees, the Borrowers and ABRCF have determined to increase any Series 2007-2 Maximum Amount, (such notice, a “Waiver Request”), each Series 2007-2 Noteholder may, at its option, waive any Series 2007-2 Maximum Amount (collectively, a “Waivable Amount”) if (i) no Amortization Event exists, (ii) the Requisite Noteholders and the Surety Provider consent to such waiver and (iii) 60 days’ prior written notice of such proposed waiver is provided to the Rating Agencies by the Trustee.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request (a copy of which the Trustee shall promptly provide to the Rating Agencies), all amounts which would otherwise be allocated to the Series 2007-2 Excess Collection Account (collectively, the “Designated Amounts”) from the date the Trustee receives a Waiver Request through the Consent Period Expiration Date will be held by the Trustee in the Series 2007-2 Collection Account for ratable distribution as described below.
Within ten (10) Business Days after the Trustee receives a Waiver Request, the Trustee shall furnish notice thereof to the Series 2007-2 Noteholders and the Surety Provider, which notice shall be accompanied by a form of consent (each a “Consent”) in the form of Exhibit B by which the Series 2007-2 Noteholders may, on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date, consent to waiver of the applicable Waivable Amount. If the Trustee receives
-48-
the consent of the Surety Provider and Consents from the Requisite Noteholders agreeing to waiver of the applicable Waivable Amount within forty-five (45) days after the Trustee notifies the Series 2007-2 Noteholders of a Waiver Request (the day on which such forty-five (45) day period expires, the “Consent Period Expiration Date”), (i) the applicable Waivable Amount shall be deemed waived by the consenting Series 2007-2 Noteholders, (ii) the Trustee will distribute the Designated Amounts as set forth below and (iii) the Trustee shall promptly (but in any event within two days) provide the Rating Agency with notice of such waiver. Any Series 2007-2 Noteholder from whom the Trustee has not received a Consent on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date will be deemed not to have consented to such waiver.
If the Trustee receives Consents from the Requisite Noteholders on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date, then on the immediately following Distribution Date, the Trustee will pay the Designated Amounts as follows:
(i) to the non-consenting Series 2007-2 Noteholders, if any, pro rata up to the amount required to pay all Series 2007-2 Notes held by such non-consenting Series 2007-2 Noteholders in full; and
(ii) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2007-2 Excess Collection Account.
If the amount paid pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph is not paid in full on the date specified therein, then on each day following such Distribution Date, the Administrator will allocate to the Series 2007-2 Collection Account on a daily basis all Designated Amounts collected on such day. On each following Distribution Date, the Trustee will withdraw a portion of such Designated Amounts from the Series 2007-2 Collection Account and deposit the same in the Series 2007-2 Distribution Account for distribution as follows:
(a) to the non-consenting Series 2007-2 Noteholders, if any, pro rata an amount equal to the Designated Amounts in the Series 2007-2 Collection Account as of the applicable Determination Date up to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Series 2007-2 Notes held by the non-consenting Series 2007-2 Noteholders; and
(b) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2007-2 Excess Collection Account.
If the Requisite Noteholders or the Surety Provider do not timely consent to such waiver, the Designated Amounts will be re-allocated to the Series 2007-2 Excess Collection Account for allocation and distribution in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Related Documents.
In the event that the Series 2007-2 Rapid Amortization Period shall commence after receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request, all such Designated Amounts will thereafter be considered Principal Collections allocated to the Series 2007-2 Noteholders.

Calculation of Principal and Interest. The interest shall be computed on a monthly basis by applying the Interest Rate effective for the Series 2007-2 Interest Period to the outstanding principal balance for such Series 2007-2 Interest Period. The outstanding principal balance as of
Exhibit C
Page 2
any day shall be the outstanding principal balance as of the beginning of such day, less any payments of principal credited to the Demand Note Issuer’s account on that day. The records of Holder with respect to amounts due and payments received hereunder shall be presumed to be correct evidence thereof.
Maturity Date. On the Demand Date on which payment of the remaining principal balance of this Demand Note is to be made, or such earlier date as payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be due, whether by mandatory prepayment, acceleration or otherwise (the “Maturity Date”), the entire outstanding principal balance of this Demand Note, together with accrued interest and any other sums then outstanding under this Demand Note, shall be due and payable.
Payments. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in immediately available funds and shall be applied first to fees and costs, including collection costs, if any, next to interest and then to principal.

Collection Costs. The Demand Note Issuer agrees to pay all costs of collection of this Demand Note, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, paralegal’s fees and other legal costs (including court costs) incurred in connection with consultation, arbitration and litigation (including trial, appellate, administrative and bankruptcy proceedings) regardless of whether or not suit is brought, and all other costs and expenses incurred by Holder exercising its rights and remedies hereunder. Such costs of collection shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.
Default. (a) If the Demand Note Issuer shall fail to pay any principal, interest or other amounts on the date of written demand for payment; provided that such demand is made prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, or on the next Business Day if written demand is made on or after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, or (b) upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to the Demand Note Issuer (each, an “Event of Default”), the entire outstanding principal balance of this Demand Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall (x) in the case of an Event of Default under clause (a) above, at the option of Holder and without further notice (any notice of such event being hereby waived by the Demand Note Issuer), or (y) in the case of an Event of Default under clause (b) above, automatically without notice (any notice of any such event being waived by the Demand Note Issuer), become immediately due and payable and may be collected forthwith, and Holder may exercise any and all rights and remedies provided herein, in law or in equity.
Default Interest. After the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Demand Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrued and unpaid interest, shall bear interest (the “Default Rate”) at the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) until paid in full, provided, however, in no event shall such rate exceed the highest rate permissible under applicable law.
Waivers. The Demand Note Issuer waives all applicable exemption rights and also waives valuation and appraisement, demand, presentment, protest and demand, and notice of protest, demand and dishonor, and nonpayment of this Demand Note, and agrees that Holder shall have

No Waiver. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising its rights under this Demand Note, or delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising its rights hereunder, or course of conduct relating thereto, shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any other right of Holder, nor shall any waiver by Holder of any such right or rights on any one occasion be deemed a bar to, or waiver of, the same right or rights on any future occasion. Acceptance by Holder of any payment after its due date shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require prompt payment when due of all other sums, and acceptance of any payment after Holder has declared the indebtedness evidenced by this Demand Note due and payable shall not cure any Event of Default or operate as a waiver of any right of Holder.
Modifications. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Demand Note shall in any event be effective unless (a) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by each of Holder and the Demand Note Issuer and (b) all consents required for such actions under the Base Indenture and the Related Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

If you so request the Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Provider, payment under this Letter of Credit may be made by wire transfer of Federal Reserve Bank of New York funds to your account in a bank on the Federal Reserve wire system or by deposit of same day funds into a designated account.
For purposes of the certificates to be delivered by you in the form attached hereto as Annexes A, B and D: “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to any Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Provider as of any date, the fraction (expressed as a percentage) obtained by dividing (A) such Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Provider’s Letter of Credit Amount as of such date by (B) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Amounts of all the Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Providers under their respective Series 2007-2 Letters of Credit as of such date; provided, that only for purposes of calculating the Pro Rata Share with respect to any Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Provider as of any date, if such Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Provider has not complied with its obligation to pay the Trustee the amount of any Lease Deficit Demand, Unpaid Demand Note Demand, Termination Demand or Termination Date Demand (as defined in the related Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit) made prior to such date, such Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Provider’s Letter of Credit Amount, as of such date shall be treated as reduced (for calculation purposes only) by the amount of such unpaid Lease Deficit Demand, Unpaid Demand Note Demand, Termination Demand or Termination Date Demand, as the case may be, and shall not be reinstated for purposes of such calculation unless and until the date as of which such Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Provider has paid such amount to the Trustee and been reimbursed by ABRCF, a Lessee or ABCR, as the case may be, for such amount (provided that the forego-ing calculation shall not in any manner reduce the undersigned’s actual liability in respect of any failure to pay any Lease Deficit Demand, Unpaid Demand Note Demand, Termination Demand or Termination Date Demand).

Upon such presentation the Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Provider shall forthwith transfer this 2007-2 Letter of Credit to the transferee.

In furtherance of the foregoing, with regard to any conflict between the terms hereof and those contained in the Credit Agreement, the terms hereof shall govern.
On the Business Day immediately following any Business Day on which the Series 2007-2 Invested Amount shall have been reduced (each a “Decrease Day”), the Letter of Credit Amount may be reduced upon prior written notice (which may be by facsimile
Exhibit D

transmission with telephone confirmation of receipt as herein provided) delivered to the Series 2007-2 Letter of Credit Provider on or before such Decrease Day purportedly signed by the Administrator by an amount (which will be expressed in United States Dollars in such notice) set forth in such notice equal to the lesser of the Pro Rata Share of (1) the excess, if any, of the Series 2007-2 Enhancement Amount over the Series 2007-2 Required Enhancement Amount and (2) the excess, if any, of the Series 2007-2 Liquidity Amount over the Series 2007-2 Required Liquidity Amount, in the case of (1) and (2) calculated as of such Decrease Day after giving effect to all payments of principal on such Decrease Day with respect to the Series 2007-2 Notes.
