THIS COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT, dated as of May 24, 2010 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, this "Agreement"), among ZIPCAR VEHICLE FINANCING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("ZVF"), as grantor (the "Grantor"), ZIPCAR, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Zipcar"), as Servicer (in such capacity, the "Servicer") and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, a New York banking corporation (not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee on behalf of the Indenture Noteholders under the Indenture), as a secured party on behalf of the Noteholders (the "General Secured Party") and as secured party on behalf of the Segregated Noteholders of each Segregated Collateral Agency Series (with respect to any such Segregated Series and the Series-Specific Collateral related thereto, the "Segregated Series Secured Party", and, together with the General Secured Party, the "Secured Parties") and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, a New York banking corporation, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, the "Collateral Agent").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, ZVF owns and will from time to time acquire Vehicles and (i) lease certain of the Vehicles to Zipcar for use in Zipcar's daily domestic car-sharing business pursuant to the ZVF Lease (the "ZVF Vehicles") and (ii) lease other Vehicles to Zipcar for use in Zipcar's daily domestic car-sharing business pursuant to the applicable Segregated Series Lease (the "ZVF Segregated Vehicles");

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Trustee to enter into the Base Indenture and, as a condition precedent to the issuance of any Series of Notes thereunder, ZVF hereby agrees with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the General Secured Party, and to induce the Trustee from time to time to enter into a Segregated Series Supplement to the Base Indenture and, as a condition precedent to the issuance of any Segregated Collateral Agency Series thereunder, ZVF herby agrees with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Segregated Series Secured Party, as follows:

FOR THE SECURED PARTIES

SECTION 2.1. Security Interest. (a) Grant by ZVF for the benefit of the General Secured Party for the Further Benefit of Noteholders. As security for the payment of the Note Obligations from time to time owing by ZVF under the Indenture, ZVF hereby grants, pledges and assigns to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the General Secured Party for the further benefit of the Noteholders a security interest in all right, title and interest of ZVF in, to and under the following, whether now existing or hereafter acquired (the "ZVF Vehicle Collateral"):

(i) all ZVF Vehicles and all Certificates of Title with respect thereto;

(ii) all sale or other proceeds from the disposition of ZVF Vehicles, including all monies due in respect of such ZVF Vehicles, whether payable as the purchase price of such Vehicles, or as related fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance recoveries, or otherwise;

 

2


(iii) all payments and claims under insurance policies (whether or not the Collateral Agent or the General Secured Party is named as the loss payee thereof) with respect to ZVF Vehicles or any warranty payable by reason of loss or damage to, or otherwise with respect to, any of such ZVF Vehicles;

(iv) all monies on deposit from time to time in the Collateral Accounts relating to the ZVF Vehicles including all amounts constituting proceeds from the disposition of or otherwise arising from, related to or in respect of ZVF Vehicles and all proceeds thereof; and

(b) Grant by ZVF for the Benefit of the Segregated Series Secured Party for the Further Benefit of the Segregated Noteholders of a Segregated Series. As security for the payment of the respective obligations in respect of the Segregated Series Note Obligations from time to time owing by ZVF under the Indenture with respect to each Segregated Collateral Agency Series, ZVF hereby grants, pledges and assigns to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Segregated Series Secured Party for the further benefit of the Segregated Noteholders of such Segregated Series a security interest in all right, title and interest of ZVF in, to and under the following, whether now existing or hereafter acquired (with respect to such Segregated Series, the "ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral" and the ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral with respect to all Segregated Collateral Agency Series, the "ZVF Segregated Vehicle Collateral"):

(i) all ZVF Segregated Vehicles relating to such Segregated Series and all Certificates of Title with respect thereto;

(ii) all sale or other proceeds from the disposition of such ZVF Segregated Vehicles relating to such Segregated Series, including all monies due in respect of such ZVF Segregated Vehicles, whether payable as the purchase price of such Vehicles, or as related fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance recoveries, or otherwise;

(iii) all payments and claims under insurance policies (whether or not the Collateral Agent or the applicable Segregated Series Secured Party is named as the loss payee thereof) with respect to such ZVF Segregated Vehicles relating to such Segregated Series or any warranty payable by reason of loss or damage to, or otherwise with respect to, any of such ZVF Segregated Vehicles;

(iv) all monies on deposit from time to time in the Collateral Accounts relating to the ZVF Segregated Vehicles including all amounts constituting proceeds from the disposition of or otherwise arising from, related to or in respect of such ZVF Segregated Vehicles relating to such Segregated Series, and all proceeds thereof; and

 

3


(v) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing.

The Grantor and each Secured Party hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to be named as the first lienholder on the Certificates of Title for the ZVF Vehicles and the ZVF Segregated Vehicles for each Segregated Collateral Agency Series, in a representative capacity, as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent agrees that all of its right, title and interest in and to the Vehicle Collateral shall be solely for the respective benefit of the related Secured Party. For the avoidance of doubt each Segregated Series Secured Party shall hold all such right, title and interest with respect to a pool of Series-Specific Collateral solely for the benefit of the applicable Segregated Collateral Agency Series.

(c) Notwithstanding the assignment and security interest so granted to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the General Secured Party pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Grantor shall nevertheless be permitted, subject to the Collateral Agent's right (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 5.4(g)) to revoke such permission in the event of an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding, to give all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers, if any, which are required to be given in the normal course of business in connection with the ZVF Vehicles or any Collateral Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include waivers of default under any of the Collateral Agreements). Notwithstanding the assignment and security interest so granted to the Collateral Agent on behalf of each Segregated Series Secured Party pursuant to subsection (b) above, the Grantor shall nevertheless be permitted, subject to the Collateral Agent's right (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 5.4(g)) to revoke such permission relating to the applicable ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral with respect to ZVF in the event of an Amortization Event with respect to the applicable Segregated Series of Notes Outstanding, to give all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers, if any, which are required to be given in the normal course of business in connection with the ZVF Segregated Vehicles included as ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral with respect to such Segregated Series or any collateral agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include waivers of default under any of the Collateral Agreements) relating to such Segregated Series.

(d) The General Secured Party, in its capacity as a secured party on behalf of the Noteholders, hereby agrees that it shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement only with respect to the ZVF Vehicles and the other ZVF Vehicle Collateral. The General Secured Party hereby acknowledges that it shall have no interest in (i) any ZVF Segregated Vehicle, (ii) any funds in a Collateral Account that are proceeds of any ZVF Segregated Vehicle, (iii) any other portion of the ZVF Segregated Vehicle Collateral, in each case regardless of the time, order, manner or nature of attachment or perfection of security interests in the ZVF Vehicles or the ZVF Segregated Vehicles (including the giving of or failure to give any purchase money security interest or other notice, or the order of filing financing statements), or any provision of the UCC, the Bankruptcy Code, or other applicable law.

(e) Each Segregated Series Secured Party, in its capacity as secured party on behalf of the Segregated Noteholders of a particular Segregated Series of Notes, hereby agrees that it shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement only with respect to the ZVF Segregated

 

4


Vehicles included as Series-Specific Collateral with respect to such Segregated Series of Notes and the related ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral. The Segregated Series Secured Party for such Segregated Series of Notes hereby acknowledges that, in such capacity, it shall have no interest in (i) any ZVF Vehicle or any ZVF Segregated Vehicle not included as Series-Specific Collateral with respect to such Segregated Series of Notes, (ii) any funds in a Collateral Account that are proceeds of any ZVF Vehicle or any ZVF Segregated Vehicle not included as Series-Specific Collateral with respect to such Segregated Series of Notes or (iii) any other portion of the ZVF Vehicle Collateral or the ZVF Segregated Vehicle Collateral not included as ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral with respect to such Segregated Series of Notes, in each case regardless of the time, order, manner or nature of attachment or perfection of security interests in the ZVF Vehicles or the ZVF Segregated Vehicles (including the giving of or failure to give any purchase money security interest or other notice, or the order of filing financing statements), or any provision of the UCC, the Bankruptcy Code, or other applicable law.

(f) References herein to "ZVF Segregated Vehicles" shall not include the ZVF Segregated Vehicles pledged to a collateral agent other than the Collateral Agent for the benefit of any Segregated Non-Collateral Agency Series unless expressly stated to the contrary herein.

SECTION 2.2. Designation of Vehicles. The Servicer shall identify on its computer system all Vehicles subject to the ZVF Lease as ZVF Vehicles and all Vehicles subject to each Segregated Series Lease as ZVF Segregated Vehicles (noting the particular Segregated Series Lease pursuant to which they are leased). The designation of the Vehicles as ZVF Vehicles and ZVF Segregated Vehicles (including the notation indicating the particular Segregated Series Lease to which they are leased) on the Servicer's computer system shall be considered prima facie evidence of (x) the General Secured Party's rights with respect to the ZVF Vehicles and the other ZVF Vehicle Collateral and (y) each Segregated Series Secured Party's rights with respect to the applicable ZVF Segregated Vehicles and the other ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral relating to such Segregated Collateral Agency Series. If at any time a Secured Party reasonably believes that such designation (including such a notation indicating a particular Segregated Series) by the Servicer is incorrect, it may dispute (the "disputing Secured Party") such designation by delivering a written notice to each of the Servicer and the Collateral Agent setting forth its claim (a "Reassignment Claim") as to the correct designation of a ZVF Vehicle or a ZVF Segregated Vehicle, as the case may be (each a "redesignation"). The Servicer shall, promptly upon receipt of such notice, distribute a copy thereof to the Grantor and the Secured Party designated as the beneficiary of such Vehicle (the "non-disputing Secured Party"). The non-disputing Secured Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice from the Servicer, notify each of the Servicer and the Collateral Agent in writing as to whether it consents to the disputing Secured Party's redesignation; it being understood that to the extent the consenting Secured Party is the Trustee, such Secured Party shall be entitled to and fully protected in relying upon a direction from the Requisite Investors. If the Servicer and the Collateral Agent receive written notice from the non-disputing Secured Party consenting to the disputing Secured Party's redesignation within the period set forth above, the Servicer shall promptly effect such redesignation on its computer system.

SECTION 2.3. Servicer's Fleet Reports. (a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Collateral Agent a report (which may be on diskette or other electronic medium reasonably acceptable to the

 

5


Collateral Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each such report, a "Fleet Report"), (i) identifying the ZVF Vehicles and the ZVF Segregated Vehicles (and the particular Segregated Series Lease pursuant to which such ZVF Segregated Vehicles is leased) as of the last day of the Related Month, (ii) listing each such Vehicle by the VIN with respect to such Vehicle, (iii) identifying the date of the original purchase of each such Vehicle, (iv) showing, as of the last day of the Related Month, the Capitalized Cost, the Third Party Market Value and the Net Book Value of each such Vehicle, (v) identifying the state in which each such Vehicle is titled, (vi) providing a list of all locations in which the Certificates of Title for the ZVF Vehicles and the ZVF Segregated Vehicles are held by the Servicer or Servicer's Agents as of such date, (viii) providing the name and address of all Servicer's Agents as of such date and (ix) providing on a confidential basis (A) the actual mileage of each such Vehicle as of its last check-in and (B) the date of the last check-in of each such Vehicle.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall make the most recent Fleet Report available for inspection by any Secured Party at the Corporate Trust Office, during normal business hours, upon such Secured Party's prior written request.

(c) On each Business Day commencing on the Initial Closing Date, the Servicer shall prepare and maintain a report identifying the ZVF Vehicles and ZVF Segregated Vehicles (specifying the particular Segregated Series Lease pursuant to which such ZVF Segregated Vehicle is leased), and the other vehicles owned by Zipcar separately by the VIN with respect to each such vehicle as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day, and shall deliver such report to ZVF upon its request.

(d) For so long as a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to ZVF on a weekly basis a report (which may be on diskette or other electronic medium) that contains the data set forth in a Fleet Report, but determined on a weekly basis, and ZVF shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each General Secured Party such weekly Fleet Report, and so long as a Liquidation Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Segregated Series Supplement) or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Segregated Series Supplement) has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Segregated Series of Notes, the Servicer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to ZVF on a weekly basis a report (which may be on diskette or other electronic medium) that contains the data set forth in a Fleet Report, but determined on a weekly basis, and ZVF shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Segregated Series Secured Party for such Series such weekly Fleet Report.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request from the Servicer, with 10 Business Days, prior written notice, a fully-uploadable list of Vehicles indicating whether any Vehicle is a ZVF Segregated Vehicle (and, if such Vehicle is a ZVF Segregated Vehicle, to which Segregated Series such ZVF Segregated Vehicle relates) or a ZVF Vehicle.

SECTION 2.4. Collateral Accounts. (a) The Collateral Agent shall establish and maintain for the benefit of the Secured Parties one or more accounts, as "Deposit Accounts" under and as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the New York UCC (each a "Collateral Account"), each in the name of the Collateral Agent that shall be administered and operated as provided in this Agreement, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited

 

6


therein are held for the respective benefit of the respective Secured Parties as their interests may appear. Each Collateral Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution or (ii) as a segregated trust account with a Qualified Trust Institution. If any Collateral Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, then within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining knowledge of such fact, the Collateral Agent shall establish a new Collateral Account which complies with such sentence and transfer into the new Collateral Account all funds from the non-qualifying Collateral Account. Initially, each Collateral Account will be established with the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any contrary provision that may be contained in any Related Document, the provisions contained in this Agreement relating to the Collateral Accounts and to the flow of funds into and out of the Collateral Accounts are consented to by the parties hereto (in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof) and shall control.

(b) The Servicer and the Grantor shall cause:

(i) all amounts representing the proceeds from sales of ZVF Vehicles or ZVF Segregated Vehicles to third parties to be deposited directly into a Collateral Account and, to the extent that any such amounts are received by the Servicer, to be deposited into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of such receipt;

(ii) all insurance proceeds and warranty payments in respect of ZVF Vehicles or ZVF Segregated Vehicles to be deposited directly into a Collateral Account and, to the extent that any such insurance proceeds or warranty payments are received by the Servicer, to be deposited into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of such receipt; provided, however, that unless an Amortization Event or Specified Potential Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes has occurred and is continuing, insurance proceeds and warranty payments with respect to the ZVF Vehicles shall not be required to be deposited in a Collateral Account; provided, further, however, that unless an Amortization Event with respect to a Segregated Collateral Agency Series Outstanding has occurred and is continuing, insurance proceeds and warranty payments with respect to the ZVF Segregated Vehicles relating to such Segregated Series shall not be required to be deposited into a Collateral Account; and

(iii) all other Proceeds from the sale (other than a sale to Zipcar under Section 2.4 of the ZVF Lease) of the Vehicle Collateral, to be deposited directly into the applicable Collateral Account and, to the extent that any such Proceeds are received by the Servicer, to be deposited into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of such receipt.

In addition, if the Grantor receives any Proceeds of the Vehicle Collateral directly, it shall deposit such Proceeds into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer receives any amount pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.4(b) and determines that such amount is Proceeds of the ZVF Collateral, Proceeds of the ZVF Segregated Collateral or Proceeds with respect to the other vehicles owned by Zipcar before it is obligated to deposit such amount into a Collateral Account in accordance with this Section 2.4(b), the Servicer shall deposit such amount directly into the Collection Account if it is Proceeds of the ZVF Vehicle Collateral, deposit such amount directly into the

 

7


collection account specified in the Segregated Series Supplement for the applicable Segregated Series of Notes if it is Proceeds of any ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral and deposit such amount into an account specified by Zipcar if it is Proceeds of other vehicles owned by Zipcar.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Servicer when funds are deposited in any Collateral Account or, in lieu thereof, the Collateral Agent may grant the Servicer online access in "read-only" format to view balances, deposits and activity relating to the Collateral Account. Promptly after the deposit of any funds into a Collateral Account, but in no event more than three Business Days thereafter, the Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent in writing as to (i) the amount thereof which represents Proceeds of the ZVF Vehicle Collateral and (ii) the amount thereof which represents Proceeds of ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral with respect to each Segregated Series. The Collateral Agent shall pursuant to and promptly after receipt of instructions from the Servicer, withdraw from the applicable Collateral Account and deposit in the Collection Account all amounts representing Proceeds of the ZVF Collateral and withdraw from the applicable Collateral Account and deposit in the appropriate collection account relating to the applicable Segregated Series all amounts representing Proceeds of any ZVF Segregated Series Vehicle Collateral.

(d) If at any time the Servicer or any Secured Party shall receive any funds with respect to which it has knowledge that it is not entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer or such Secured Party shall so advise the other parties hereto in writing (upon which written advice the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely) and the Servicer or such Secured Party, as the case may be, shall forthwith take reasonable steps to ensure that such funds are remitted to the Person so entitled thereto or as such Person directs or as otherwise provided in the Related Documents.

SECTION 2.5. Certificates of Title. (a) The Servicer or its designated agents (each such agent that agrees to perform services subject to the applicable terms hereof and of the other Related Documents and that is consented to by the Issuer, the "Servicer's Agent") on behalf of the Servicer shall hold all of the Certificates of Title for the ZVF Vehicles and the ZVF Segregated Vehicles in the Servicer's capacity as agent of, and custodian for, the Collateral Agent. The Servicer or the Servicer's Agents on behalf of the Servicer shall (i) hold all such Certificates of Title, under lock and key, in a safe fireproof location at one or more of the offices specified in each Fleet Report delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3, and (ii) not release or surrender any such Certificate of Title other than Certificates of Title as to which the security interest of the Collateral Agent has been released in accordance with Section 2.6 of this Agreement; provided, however that the Servicer or the Servicer's Agents, on behalf of and at the direction of the Servicer, may deliver the Certificate of Title for any ZVF Vehicle or ZVF Segregated Vehicle sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the Related Documents to the purchaser thereof, together with any documentation necessary to effect the removal of the notation of the Lien of this Agreement on such Certificate of Title upon the release of the lien of such ZVF Vehicle or ZVF Segregated Vehicle, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.6. The Servicer shall cause the Certificates of Title with respect to each ZVF Vehicle and ZVF Segregated Vehicle to show ZVF as the registered owner of such Vehicle, and the Collateral Agent, as agent, as the first lienholder, at the address of one of the offices of the Servicer referred to in the preceding sentence. The Servicer shall pay any compensation payable to a Servicer's

 

8


Agent from its own funds. Notwithstanding any delegation of duties to a Servicer's Agent hereunder, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties. The Servicer shall notify the Rating Agencies, if any, in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the replacement of an existing Servicer's Agent or the designation of any new Servicer's Agent.

(b) The Collateral Agent hereby grants to the Servicer a power of attorney to take any and all actions, in the name of the Collateral Agent, (i) to note the Collateral Agent as the holder of a first lien on the Certificates of Title for the ZVF Vehicles and the ZVF Segregated Vehicles, and/or otherwise ensure that the first Lien shown on any and all Certificates of Title for the ZVF Vehicles and the ZVF Segregated Vehicles is in the name of the Collateral Agent and (ii) to release the Collateral Agent's Lien on any Certificate of Title in connection with the release of the related Vehicle from the Lien of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.6. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as authorization from the Collateral Agent to the Servicer to release any Lien on the Certificates of Title for the ZVF Vehicles and the ZVF Segregated Vehicles except upon compliance with this Agreement. To further evidence the power of attorney referred to in this Section 2.5(b), the Collateral Agent agrees that upon request of the Servicer it will execute a separate power of attorney in respect of the ZVF Vehicles or the ZVF Segregated Vehicles pledged for the benefit of each Segregated Series substantially in the form of Exhibit B. In no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee have any responsibility for or liability in connection with any action taken pursuant to the Power of Attorney.

If, notwithstanding the grant of the Power of Attorney, the Collateral Agent or Trustee is requested to execute a document to evidence a release of Lien of Certificate of Title, the Collateral Agent and/or the Trustee shall be entitled to receive a Company Order authorizing it to execute such release, together with an Officer's Certificate stating that such release is permitted by the Related Documents. If, after a Liquidation Event of Default, ZVF has not provided such a Company Order or the Collateral Agent is not otherwise acting at the direction of the Servicer in accordance with Section 2.5(c), within a reasonable time after a request for a Company Order, the Collateral Agent and/or the Trustee may seek a general direction from the Requisite Investors directing it to execute any documents evidencing a release of Liens of Certificates of Title on which direction the Collateral Agent and/or the Trustee shall be entitled to rely.

(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding, the General Secured Party may cause the Collateral Agent to terminate the power of attorney in respect of the ZVF Vehicles referred to in Section 2.5(b) (including the related power granted under Section 2.5(b)) by giving written notice to such effect to the Servicer and the Collateral Agent. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event with respect to a Segregated Collateral Agency Series, the applicable Segregated Series Secured Party may cause the Collateral Agent to terminate the power of attorney in respect of the ZVF Segregated Vehicles pledged for the benefit of such Segregated Series referred to in Section 2.5(b) (including the related power granted under Section 2.5(b)) by giving written notice to such effect to the Servicer and the Collateral Agent. The Servicer agrees that upon receipt of any such notice such power of attorney shall automatically terminate by giving written notice to such effect to the Servicer. After any such termination, the Collateral Agent will follow the written direction of the Servicer to release liens on ZVF Vehicles or ZVF Segregated Vehicles, as applicable, unless a contrary written direction is received from the applicable Secured Party.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action (a) that in its reasonable opinion is or may be contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement, any Related Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Vehicle Collateral, or (b) which might or would in its reasonable opinion subject it or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents to personal or financial liability unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction (and if any indemnity should become, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent, inadequate, the Collateral Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease to act until such additional indemnity is given).

If no successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed and approved within thirty (30) days from the date of the giving of the aforesaid notice of resignation or within thirty (30) days from the date of such notice of removal, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent to act until such time, if any, as a successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed as above provided. Any successor Collateral Agent so appointed by such court shall immediately upon its acceptance of such appointment without further act supersede any predecessor Collateral Agent.

without any further act, deed or conveyance, all of the estate and title of its predecessors and upon such filing for record the successor Collateral Agent shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, authority and title of its predecessors; but any predecessor Collateral Agent shall nevertheless, on the written request of any Secured Party, the Servicer, the Grantor or any successor Collateral Agent empowered to act as such at the time any such request is made, execute and deliver an instrument without recourse or representation transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, authority and title of such predecessor hereunder and shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it to such successor Collateral Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent hereunder, the predecessor Collateral Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the predecessor Collateral Agent will be obligated to serve as nominee lienholder for the successor Collateral Agent with respect to those Vehicles on whose Certificate of Title the predecessor Collateral Agent had been named as lienholder prior to its resignation or removal pursuant to this Section 5.5.

SECTION 5.6. Qualification of Successors to Collateral Agent.

SECTION 6.16. Confidentiality. Each party hereto (other than Zipcar and the Grantor) agrees that it shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of Zipcar or the Grantor, as the case may be, other than (a) to any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or any judicial process of which Zipcar or the Grantor, as the case may be, has knowledge; provided that any party hereto may disclose Confidential Information as required by law, rule or regulation or any judicial process of which Zipcar or the Grantor, as the case may be, does not have knowledge if such party is prohibited by law from disclosing such requirement to Zipcar or the Grantor, as the case may be, and (c) in the course of litigation with Zipcar, the Grantor, or any Secured Party.

"Confidential Information" means information that Zipcar or the Grantor, furnishes to a Secured Party on a confidential basis, but does not include any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Secured Party or other Person to which such Secured Party delivered such information or that is or becomes available to such Secured Party from a source other than Zipcar or the Grantor provided that such source is not (1) known to such Secured Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with Zipcar or the Grantor, or (2) known to such Secured Party to be otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

In the event that the Grantor is not reimbursed for such fees, expenses, costs or other obligations, the excess unpaid amount of such fees, expenses, costs or other obligations shall in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, the Grantor. Nothing in this Section 6.17 shall be construed to limit the Collateral Agent from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.

SECTION 6.18. Trustee Protections. In acting under and by virtue of this Agreement, the Trustee shall have all of the rights, protections and immunities granted to it under the other Related Documents.
