(i) (1) in the case of a Class A-1 Purchaser, such Class A-1 Purchaser’s Class A-1 Commitment Percentage of the Class A-1 Initial Invested Amount or such Class A-1 Increase Amount is equal to (A) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (except as set forth in clause (iv)) or (B) if less, the excess of the Class A-1 Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Class A-1 Purchaser over the Class A-1 Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Class A-1 Purchaser and (2) in the case of a Class A-2 Purchaser, the initial purchase shall be equal to the such Class A-2 Purchaser’s Class A-2 Purchaser Invested Amount as of the Effective Date;

(ii) in the case of a Class A-1 Purchaser, after giving effect to the Class A-1 Initial Invested Amount or such Class A-1 Increase Amount, the Class A-1 Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Class A-1 Purchaser would not exceed the Class A-1 Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Class A-1 Purchaser;

(iii) after giving effect thereto, no AESOP I Operating Lease Vehicle Deficiency would occur and be continuing;

(iv) no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event would occur and be continuing prior to or after giving effect thereto;

(v) all of the representations and warranties made by each of CRCF, the Lessees, the Lessors and the Administrator in the Base Indenture, this Supplement and the Related Documents to which each is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date or such Class A-1 Increase Date, as the case may be, as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are expressly made as of another date in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such other date); and

(vi) the Class A-1 Increase Date shall occur prior to the Class A-1 Increase Expiry Date;

(vii) all conditions precedent to the making of any Loan under the applicable Loan Agreements would be satisfied.

CRCF’s acceptance of funds in connection with (x) the initial purchase of Series 2004-1 Notes on the Effective Date and (y) each Class A-1 Increase occurring on any Class A-1 Increase Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by CRCF to the Purchasers as of the Effective Date or, in the case of the Class A-1 Purchasers, such Class A-1 Increase Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are expressly made as of another date), as the case may be, that all of the conditions contained in this Section 2.3(b) have been satisfied.

(c) Upon receipt of any notice required by Section 2.3(a) from CRCF, the Administrative Agent shall forward (by telecopy or electronic messaging system) a copy of such notice to each Class A-1 Purchaser, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day

received. After receipt by any Class A-1 Purchaser of such notice from the Administrative Agent, such Class A-1 Purchaser shall, so long as the conditions set forth in Sections 2.3(a) and (b) are satisfied, pay in immediately available funds its Class A-1 Commitment Percentage (or any portion thereof) of the amount of such Class A-1 Increase on the related Class A-1 Increase Date to the Trustee for deposit into the Series 2004-1 Collection Account.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Class A-1 Purchaser prior to the proposed date of any Class A-1 Increase that such Class A-1 Purchaser will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Class A-1 Purchaser’s Class A-1 Commitment Percentage of such Class A-1 Increase, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Class A-1 Purchaser has made its Class A-1 Commitment Percentage of such Class A-1 Increase available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to CRCF a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Class A-1 Purchaser has not in fact made its Class A-1 Commitment Percentage of such Class A-1 Increase available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Class A-1 Purchaser and CRCF severally agree to pay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to CRCF to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Class A-1 Purchaser, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by CRCF, the interest rate applicable to the Alternate Base Rate Tranche. If CRCF and such Class A-1 Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to CRCF the amount of such interest paid by CRCF for such period. If such Class A-1 Purchaser pays its share of the applicable Class A-1 Increase, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Class A-1 Purchaser’s Class A-1 Commitment Percentage included in such Class A-1 Increase. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Class A-1 Purchaser or CRCF with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.3(d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(e) On the Effective Date, each Class A-2 Purchaser shall, so long as the conditions to the occurrence of the Effective Date have been satisfied, pay in immediately available funds an amount equal to the amount specified on Schedule 1 next to such Class A-2 Purchaser’s name to the Trustee for deposit into the Series 2004-1 Collection Account.

Section 2.4. Procedure for Decreasing the Series 2004-1 Invested Amount. (a) Class A-1 Invested Amount. On any Distribution Date prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, upon the written request of CRCF or the Administrator on behalf of CRCF, the Class A-1 Invested Amount may be reduced (a “Class A-1 Decrease”) by the Trustee’s withdrawing from the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account, depositing into the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account and distributing to the Administrative Agent funds on deposit in the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account on such day in accordance with Section 3.5(b) in an amount not to exceed the amount of such funds on deposit on such day; provided that CRCF shall have given the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) irrevocable written notice (effective upon receipt) of the amount of such Class A-1 Decrease prior to 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to such Class A-1 Decrease; provided, that any such Class A-1 Decrease shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000

in excess thereof. Upon each Class A-1 Decrease, the Administrative Agent shall indicate in its records such Class A-1 Decrease and the Class A-1 Purchaser Invested Amount outstanding with respect to each Class A-1 Purchaser after giving effect to such Class A-1 Decrease.

(b) Class A-2 Invested Amount. On any Distribution Date prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, upon the written request of CRCF or the Administrator on behalf of CRCF, the Class A-2 Invested Amount may be reduced (a “Class A-2 Decrease”) by the Trustee’s withdrawing from the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account, depositing into the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account and distributing to the Administrative Agent funds on deposit in the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account on such day in accordance with Section 3.5(b) in an amount not to exceed the amount of such funds on deposit on such day; provided that CRCF shall have given the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) irrevocable written notice (effective upon receipt) of the amount of such Class A-2 Decrease prior to 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to such Class A-2 Decrease; provided, that any such Class A-2 Decrease shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof. Upon each Class A-2 Decrease, the Administrative Agent shall indicate in its records such Class A-2 Decrease and the Class A-2 Purchaser Invested Amount outstanding with respect to each Class A-2 Purchaser after giving effect to such Class A-2 Decrease. Once reduced, the Class A-2 Purchaser Invested Amounts may not be subsequently increased.

Section 2.5. Reductions of the Class A-1 Maximum Invested Amount. (a) On any Business Day prior to the Class A-1 Increase Expiry Date, CRCF may, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (effective upon receipt) (with copies to the Administrator and the Trustee) reduce the Class A-1 Maximum Invested Amount in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any reduction in the Class A-1 Invested Amount on such date, (x) the Class A-1 Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to any Class A-1 Purchaser would exceed the Class A-1 Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Class A-1 Purchaser then in effect or (y) the Class A-1 Invested Amount would exceed the Class A-1 Maximum Invested Amount. Any reduction in the Class A-1 Maximum Invested Amount shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Class A-1 Maximum Purchaser Invested Amounts with respect to the Class A-1 Purchasers, based on the Class A-1 Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to each Class A-1 Purchaser. Once reduced, the Class A-1 Maximum Purchaser Invested Amounts may not be subsequently reinstated without each such Class A-1 Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall be granted or not in the sole discretion of such Class A-1 Purchaser.

Section 2.6. Interest; Fees. (a) Interest shall be payable on the Series 2004-1 Notes on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.3. Unless otherwise provided for herein or otherwise specified in writing by CRCF, any Class A-1 Increase Amount shall be allocated to an Alternate Base Rate Tranche and shall be reallocated to a Class A-1 Eurodollar Tranche on the first Distribution Date following the applicable Class A-1 Increase Date. Unless otherwise provided for herein or otherwise specified in writing by CRCF, the proceeds of the Class A-2 Notes shall be allocated to a Class A-2 Eurodollar Tranche.

 

-34-


(b) On not less than three Business Days notice, the Administrator may, on CRCF’s behalf, convert any Eurodollar Tranche into any Alternate Base Rate Tranche on the last day of the Eurodollar Period for such Eurodollar Tranche. On not less than three Business Days notice, the Administrator may, on CRCF’s behalf, convert on any Business Day any Alternative Base Rate Tranche to a Eurodollar Tranche.

(c) CRCF shall pay with funds available pursuant to Section 3.3(a) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Class A-1 Purchaser, on each Distribution Date, a commitment fee with respect to the Series 2004-1 Interest Period ending on the day preceding such Distribution Date (the “Commitment Fee”) during the period from the Effective Date to and including the Class A-1 Increase Expiry Date at the Commitment Fee Rate of the average daily Class A-1 Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Class A-1 Purchaser during such Series 2004-1 Interest Period less the sum of the average daily Class A-1 Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Class A-1 Purchaser. The Commitment Fees shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Distribution Date.

(d) Calculations of per annum rates under this Supplement shall be made on the basis of a 360- (or 365-/366- in the case of interest on an Alternate Base Rate Tranche) day year. Calculations of Commitment Fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year. Each determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error.

(e) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Series 2004-1 Note exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. If at any time the interest rate charged with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to this Supplement and such Series 2004-1 Note shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, but any subsequent reductions in LIBO Rate shall not reduce the interest to accrue on such Series 2004-1 Note below the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law until the total amount of interest accrued on such Series 2004-1 Note equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest rate had at all times been in effect. If the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Series 2004-1 Note under the foregoing provisions is less than the total amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all times been in effect, CRCF agrees to pay to the Series 2004-1 Noteholders an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law had at all times been in effect, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the Adjusted LIBO Rate had at all times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of this Supplement.

Section 2.7. Indemnification by CRCF. CRCF agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Company indemnified person”) from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by (a “Claim”) such Company indemnified person by reason of (i) any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of, or relating to, activities of CRCF pursuant to the Indenture or the other Related Documents to which it is a party, (ii) a breach of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by CRCF (or any of its officers) in the Indenture or other Related Document or (iii) a

(j) Termination Date Demands on the Series 2004-1 Letters of Credit. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately succeeding the Series 2004-1 Letter of Credit Termination Date, the Administrator shall determine the Series 2004-1 Demand Note Payment Amount as of the Series 2004-1 Letter of Credit Termination Date. If the Series 2004-1 Demand Note Payment Amount is greater than zero, then the Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in writing to draw on the Series 2004-1 Letters of Credit. Upon receipt of any such notice by the Trustee on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Trustee shall, by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Business Day draw an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the Series 2004-1 Demand Note Payment Amount over the Series 2004-1 Available Reserve Account Amount and (ii) the Series 2004-1 Letter of Credit Liquidity Amount on the affected Series 2004-1 Letters of Credit by presenting to each Series 2004-1 Letter of Credit Provider a draft accompanied by a Certificate of Termination Date Demand; provided, however, that if the Series 2004-1 Cash Collateral Account has been established and funded, the Trustee shall draw an amount equal to the product of (a) 100% minus the Series 2004-1 Cash Collateral Percentage and (b) the lesser of the amounts referred to in clause (i) or (ii) on such Business Day on the Series 2004-1 Letters of Credit as calculated by the Administrator and provided in writing to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cause the Termination Date Disbursement to be deposited in the Series 2004-1 Cash Collateral Account.

Section 3.9. Series 2004-1 Distribution Account. (a) Establishment of Series 2004-1 Distribution Account. CRCF shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, or cause to be established and maintained, an account (the “Series 2004-1 Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty. The Series 2004-1 Distribution Account shall be maintained (i) with a

 

-56-


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 2004-1 Distribution 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 depository institution or trust company shall be reduced to below “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s or “Baa3” by Moody’s, then CRCF shall, within 30 days of such reduction, establish a new Series 2004-1 Distribution Account with a new Qualified Institution. If the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, CRCF shall establish a new Series 2004-1 Distribution Account, within ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such fact, which complies with such sentence, and shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2004-1 Distribution Account into the new Series 2004-1 Distribution Account. Initially, the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account will be established with The Bank of New York.

(b) Administration of the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account. The Administrator may instruct the institution maintaining the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account is held with the Paying Agent, then such investment may mature on such Distribution Date and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 2004-1 Distribution 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 CRCF, take such action as is required to maintain the Trustee’s security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account. CRCF 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 purchase price of such Permitted Investments. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.

(c) Earnings from Series 2004-1 Distribution Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account shall be deemed to be on deposit and available for distribution.

(d) Series 2004-1 Distribution Account Constitutes Additional Collateral for Series 2004-1 Notes. In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the CRCF Obligations with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes, CRCF hereby grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, all of CRCF’s right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or hereafter existing or acquired): (i) the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account, including any security entitlement thereto; (ii) all

 

-57-


funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iii) all certificates and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing any or all of the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account or the funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iv) all investments made at any time and from time to time with monies in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account, whether constituting securities, instruments, general intangibles, investment property, financial assets or other property; (v) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account, the funds on deposit therein from time to time or the investments made with such funds; and (vi) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash (the items in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are referred to, collectively, as the “Series 2004-1 Distribution Account Collateral”). The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account and in and to all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account. The Series 2004-1 Distribution Account Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty. The Series 2004-1 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 2004-1 Distribution 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 2004-1 Distribution 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 without further consent by CRCF or any other entitlement holder.

Section 3.10. Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedges. (a) CRCF may from time to time enter into one or more interest rate swaps or interest rate caps (each a “Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge”) with a Qualified Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty in order to hedge its floating rate interest rate exposure. Each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge shall limit the right of the related Qualified Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty to receive payments from CRCF only to the extent of funds available for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of this Supplement.

(b) To secure payment of all CRCF Obligations with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes, CRCF grants a security interest in, and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders, all of CRCF’s right, title and interest in the Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedges and all proceeds thereof (the “Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Collateral”). CRCF shall require all Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Proceeds to be paid to, and the Trustee shall allocate all Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Proceeds to, the Series 2004-1 Accrued Interest Account of the Series 2004-1 Collection Account.

(c) If at any time the Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty to a Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge is no longer a Qualified Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, then CRCF shall take one of the following actions within 30 days from the date it ceases to be a Qualified Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty: (i) cause the Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty to post collateral in an amount and in a manner acceptable to the Administrative

 

-58-


Agent; (ii) cause the Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty to provide at the Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty’s cost a guarantee of its obligations under each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge to which it is a party from a person who would qualify as a Qualified Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty or (iii) with the consent of the Administrative Agent, terminate the Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge with such Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty.

(d) If at any time (i) a Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty fails to make a payment on a Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge or (ii) a Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty is no longer a Qualified Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty and fails to take one of the actions within the timeframe set forth in Section 3.10(c) hereof, CRCF shall, at the Administrative Agent’s direction, terminate such Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge.

(e) CRCF shall, promptly following the execution of a Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge, deliver to the Trustee such Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge.

Section 3.11. Series 2004-1 Demand Notes Constitute Additional Collateral for Series 2004-1 Notes. In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the obligations with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes, CRCF hereby grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, all of CRCF’s right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or hereafter existing or acquired): (i) the Series 2004-1 Demand Notes; (ii) all certificates and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing the Series 2004-1 Demand Notes; and (iii) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash. On the date hereof, CRCF shall deliver to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, each Series 2004-1 Demand Note, endorsed in blank. The Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, shall be the only Person authorized to make a demand for payments on the Series 2004-1 Demand Notes.

Section 3.12. Payments to Purchasers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Base Indenture, amounts distributable by CRCF, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Administrative Agent to Purchaser shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) for credit to the account or accounts designated by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be so obligated unless the Administrative Agent shall have received the funds by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time).

Section 3.13. Appointment of Series 2004-1 Agent. Each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Series 2004-1 Agent as the agent of such Person with respect to the Series 2004-1 Collateral under this Supplement and irrevocably authorizes the Series 2004-1 Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf with respect to the Series 2004-1 Collateral (other than the Collateral) under the provisions of this Supplement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Series 2004-1 Agent by the terms of this Supplement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

RIGHT TO WAIVE PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture or the Related Documents, upon the Trustee’s receipt of notice from any Lessee, any Borrower or CRCF (i) to the effect that a Manufacturer Program is no longer an Eligible Manufacturer Program and that, as a result, either (a) the Series 2004-1 Maximum Non-Program Vehicle Amount is or will be exceeded or (b) an excess will exist under clause (y) of paragraph (ii) of the definition of Series 2004-1 Required Enhancement Amount or (ii) that the Lessees, the Borrowers and CRCF have determined to increase any Series 2004-1 Maximum Amount or the percentage set forth in clause (y) of any of paragraphs (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) or (viii) of the definition of Series 2004-1 Required Enhancement Amount, (such notice, a “Waiver Request”), each Series 2004-1 Noteholder may, at its option, waive the Series 2004-1 Maximum Non-Program Vehicle Amount, any other Series 2004-1 Maximum Amount or any increase in the Series 2004-1 Required Enhancement Amount based upon clause (y) of any of paragraphs (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) or (viii) of the definition of the Series 2004-1 Required Enhancement Amount (collectively, a “Waivable Amount”) if (i) no Amortization Event exists, (ii) the Requisite Noteholders consent to such waiver and (iii) 60 days’ prior written notice of such proposed waiver is provided to the Administrative Agent by the Trustee.

 

-61-


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 2004-1 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 2004-1 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 Administrative Agent, which notice shall be accompanied by a form of consent (each a “Consent”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto by which the Series 2004-1 Noteholders may, on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date, consent to waiver of the applicable Waivable Amount. Upon receipt of notice of a Waiver Request, the Administrative Agent shall forward a copy of such request together with the Consent to each Purchaser. If the Trustee receives the Consents from the Requisite Noteholders agreeing to waiver of the applicable Waivable Amount within forty-five (45) days after the Trustee notifies the Administrative Agent 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 2004-1 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 Purchaser 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, upon receipt of written direction from the Administrator the Trustee will pay the Designated Amounts to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the non-consenting Purchasers. Upon the receipt of funds from the Trustee pursuant to this Article V, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Designated Amounts as follows:

(i) to each non-consenting Purchaser, such Purchaser’s pro rata share based on the Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser relative to the Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to all non-consenting Purchasers of the Designated Amounts up to the amount required to reduce to zero the Purchaser Invested Amounts with respect to all non-consenting Purchasers; and

(ii) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account.

If the amount distributed pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph is not sufficient to reduce the Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to each non-consenting Purchaser to zero on the date specified therein, then on each day following such Distribution Date, the Administrator will allocate to the Series 2004-1 Collection Account on a daily basis all Designated Amounts collected on such day. On each following Distribution Date, the Trustee will withdraw such Designated Amounts from the Series 2004-1 Collection Account and deposit the same in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account for distribution to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the non-consenting Purchasers. Upon the receipt of funds from the Trustee

 

-62-


pursuant to this Article V, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Designated Amounts as follows:

(a) to each non-consenting Purchaser, such Purchaser’s pro rata share based on the Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser relative to the Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to all non-consenting Purchasers of the Designated Amounts in the Series 2004-1 Collection Account as of the applicable Determination Date up to the amount required to reduce to zero the Purchaser Invested Amounts with respect to all non-consenting Purchasers; and

(b) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account.

If the Requisite Noteholders do not timely consent to such waiver, the Designated Amounts will be re-allocated to the Series 2004-1 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 2004-1 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 2004-1 Noteholders.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 7.1. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law (except with respect to Taxes which shall be governed by Section 7.2) shall:

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Purchaser of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Tranches (or maintaining its obligation to do so) or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Purchaser hereunder or in connection herewith (whether principal, interest or otherwise), then CRCF will pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Purchaser determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Purchaser’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Purchaser as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Purchaser or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Purchaser’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, CRCF shall pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Purchaser setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser as specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 7.1 shall be delivered to CRCF (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any payments made by CRCF pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VII Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against CRCF to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of a Purchaser to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Purchaser’s right to demand such compensation; provided that CRCF shall not be required to compensate any Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.1 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Purchaser notifies CRCF of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Purchaser’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 7.2. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of CRCF hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if CRCF shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) subject to Section 7.2(c) below, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.2) the recipient receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) CRCF shall make such deductions and (iii) CRCF shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

-66-


(b) In addition, CRCF shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) CRCF shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser within the later of 10 days after written demand therefor and the Distribution Date next following such demand for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of CRCF hereunder or under the Indenture (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.2) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that no Person shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.2(c) or entitled to receive additional amounts under the proviso of Section 7.2(a) to the extent that the reason for such indemnification results from the failure by such Person to comply with the provisions of Section 7.2(e) or (g). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to CRCF by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any payments made by CRCF pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VII Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against CRCF to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by CRCF to a Governmental Authority, CRCF shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt, if any, issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return, if any, reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and reasonably available to CRCF.

(e) The Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, if entitled to an exemption from or reduction of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax with respect to payments made hereunder or under the Indenture shall (to the extent legally able to do so) deliver to CRCF (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by CRCF on the later of (i) 30 Business Days after such request is made and the applicable forms are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser or (ii) 30 Business Days before prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or with an exemption from or reduction of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser receives a refund solely in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, it shall pay over such refund to CRCF to the extent that it has already received indemnity payments or additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.2 with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that CRCF shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, repay such refund (plus interest or other

 

-67-


charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser if the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained herein shall require the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) available to CRCF or any other Person.

(g) The Administrative Agent and each Purchaser (other than any such entity which is a domestic corporation) shall:

(i) upon or prior to becoming a party hereto, deliver to CRCF and the Administrative Agent two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or successor applicable forms, as the case may be, establishing a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect to payments under the Series 2004-1 Notes and this Supplement;

(ii) deliver to CRCF and the Administrative Agent two (2) further copies of any such form or certification establishing a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect to payments under the Series 2004-1 Notes and this Supplement on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to CRCF; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by CRCF and the Administrative Agent;

unless, in any such case, any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the Effective Date (or, if later, the date the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser becomes an indemnified party hereunder) and prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders the relevant form inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser from duly completing and delivering the relevant form with respect to it, and the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser so advises CRCF and the Administrative Agent.

(h) If a beneficial or equity owner of the Administrative Agent or Purchaser (instead of the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser itself) is required under United States federal income tax law or the terms of a relevant treaty to provide IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or any successor applicable forms, as the case may be, in order to claim an exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes, then each such beneficial owner or equity owner shall be considered to be the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser for purposes of Section 7.2(g).

Section 7.3. Break Funding Payments. CRCF agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and to hold each Purchaser harmless from any loss or expense which such Purchaser may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by CRCF to accept any Class A-1 Increase after CRCF has given irrevocable notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Supplement, (b) default by CRCF in making any prepayment in connection with a Class A-1 Decrease and/or Class A-2 Decrease after CRCF has given irrevocable notice

 

-68-


thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5, (c) the making of any prepayment of a Eurodollar Tranche, or the conversion of any Alternate Base Rate Tranche into a Eurodollar Tranche prior to the termination of the Eurodollar Period for such Eurodollar Tranche or (d) the failure of CRCF to convert any Eurodollar Tranche or Alternate Base Rate Tranche after notice of such conversion has been given pursuant to Section 2.6(d) hereof. Such indemnification shall include an amount determined by such Purchaser equal to either (x) the excess, if any, of (i) such Purchaser’s cost of funding the amount so prepaid or not so borrowed for the period from the date of such prepayment or, in the case of a Class A-1 Purchaser, of such failure to borrow to the last day of the Eurodollar Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow the Eurodollar Period that would have commenced on the date of such prepayment or of such failure), as the case may be, over (ii) the amount of interest earned by such Purchaser upon redeployment of an amount of funds equal to the amount prepaid or, in the case of a Class A-1 Purchaser, not borrowed for a comparable period or (y) if such Purchaser is able to terminate the funding source before its scheduled maturity, any costs associated with such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments made by CRCF pursuant to this subsection shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VII Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against CRCF to the extent that such funds are insufficient to make such payment. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any Purchaser to CRCF shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 7.4. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Eurodollar Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by any Purchaser that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchaser of making or maintaining the Eurodollar Tranches during such Eurodollar Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to CRCF and the Trustee, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies CRCF and the Trustee that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to any Purchaser shall not be allocated to any Eurodollar Tranche.

Section 7.5. Mitigation Obligations. If a Purchaser requests compensation under Section 7.1, or if CRCF is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2, then, upon written notice from CRCF, such Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its obligations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, which pays a price for such assignment which is acceptable to such Purchaser and its assignee, in the judgment of such

 

-69-


Purchaser, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Purchaser to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Purchaser. CRCF hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Purchaser in connection with any such designation or assignment.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.1. Appointment. Each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Person under this Supplement and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Supplement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Supplement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Supplement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

 

-72-


Section 9.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Supplement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 9.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Base Indenture, this Supplement or any other Related Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by CRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary, the Administrator or any officer thereof contained in this Supplement or any other Related Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Supplement or any other Related Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Supplement, any other Related Document, or for any failure of any of CRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary or the Administrator to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Supplement, any other Related Document or to inspect the properties, books or records of CRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary or the Administrator.

Section 9.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to CRCF or the Administrator), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the registered holder of any Series 2004-1 Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Supplement or any other Related Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Noteholders, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Purchasers against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Supplement and the other Related Documents in accordance with a request of the Requisite Noteholders (unless, in the case of any action relating to the giving of consent hereunder, the giving of such consent requires the consent of all Series 2004-1 Noteholders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers.

 

-73-


Section 9.5. Notice of Administrator Default or Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event or any Administrator Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Purchaser, CRCF or the Administrator referring to the Indenture or this Supplement, describing such Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, or Administrator Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of an Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event” or “notice of an Administrator Default,” as the case may be. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Purchasers, the Trustee, CRCF and the Administrator. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the Requisite Noteholders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers.

Section 9.6. Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of CRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary or the Administrator shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any such Person. Each of the Purchasers represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of CRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary and the Administrator and made its own decision to enter into this Supplement. Each of the Purchasers also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Supplement and the other Related Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of CRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary and the Administrator. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Purchasers by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of CRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary or the Administrator which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 9.7. Indemnification. Each of the Purchasers agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by CRCF and the Administrator and without limiting the obligation of CRCF and the Administrator to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares in effect on the date on which

 

-74-


indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 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 the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this 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 the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Purchaser 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 Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

Section 9.8. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with CRCF, the Administrator or any of their Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to any Series 2004-1 Note held by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Supplement and the other Related Documents as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Purchaser” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 9.9. Resignation of Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to the Purchasers, the Trustee, CRCF and the Administrator. If Mizuho shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Supplement, then the Requisite Noteholders shall appoint a successor administrative agent from among the Purchasers, which successor administrative agent shall be approved by CRCF and the Administrator (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor 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 Supplement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Purchaser with the greatest Purchaser Invested Amount (or, if such Person is the retiring Administrative Agent, the Person with the next highest Purchaser Invested Amount) shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Noteholders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Supplement.

GENERAL

Section 10.1. Successors and Assigns.

(c) Any Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more financial institutions or other entities (“Participants”) participations in its Series 2004-1 Note, its Commitment and its rights hereunder pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to such Purchaser and the Participant; provided, however, that (i) in the event of any such sale by a Purchaser to a Participant, (A) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Supplement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and (C) CRCF and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with its rights and obligations under this Supplement and (ii) no Purchaser shall sell any participating interest under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Supplement, the Base Indenture or any Related Document, except to the extent that the approval of such amendment, consent or waiver otherwise would require the unanimous consent of all Purchasers hereunder.

Section 10.2. Securities Law. Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to CRCF that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and has sufficient assets to bear the economic risk of, and sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of, its investment in a Series 2004-1 Note. Each Purchaser agrees that its Series 2004-1 Note will be acquired for investment only and not with a view to any public distribution thereof, and that such Purchaser will not offer to sell or otherwise dispose of its Series 2004-1 Note (or any interest therein) in violation of any of the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or any applicable state or other securities laws. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has no right to require CRCF to register its Series 2004-1 Note under the Securities Act or any other securities law. Each Purchaser hereby confirms and agrees that in connection with any transfer by it of an interest in the Series 2004-1 Note, such Purchaser has not engaged and will not engage in a general solicitation or general advertising including advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over radio or television, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

Section 10.3. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Purchaser (a “Benefitted Purchaser”) shall at any time receive in respect of its Purchaser Invested Amount any distribution of principal, interest or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such distribution received by any other Purchaser, if any, in respect of such other Purchaser’s Purchaser Invested Amount, or interest thereon, such Benefitted Purchaser shall purchase for cash from the other Purchaser such portion of such other Purchaser’s interest in the Series 2004-1 Notes, or shall provide such other Purchaser with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Purchaser to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with the other Purchaser; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. CRCF agrees that any Purchaser so purchasing a portion of another Purchaser’s Purchaser Invested Amount may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Purchaser were the direct holder of such portion.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Purchaser provided by law, each Purchaser shall have the right, without prior notice to CRCF, any such notice being expressly waived by CRCF to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by CRCF hereunder or under the Series 2004-1 Notes to set-off and appropriate and apply against any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of CRCF. Each Purchaser agrees promptly to notify CRCF, the Administrator and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Purchaser; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 10.4. No Bankruptcy Petition.

(b) This covenant shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

Section 10.5. Costs and Expenses. CRCF agrees to pay on demand (x) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent) and of each Purchaser (including in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Supplement the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser) in connection with (i) the preparation, execution and delivery of this Supplement and the other Related Documents and any amendments or waivers of, or consents under, any such documents and (ii) the enforcement by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser of the obligations and liabilities of CRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary and the Administrator under the Indenture, this Supplement, the other Related Documents or any related document and all costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Related Documents and (y) all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent) in connection with the administration of this Supplement and the other Related Documents. Any payments made by CRCF pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VII Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against CRCF to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

Section 10.16. Collateral Representations and Warranties of CRCF. CRCF hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser that:

(a) the Base Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from CRCF. This Supplement will create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Series 2004-1 Collateral in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and each Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from CRCF.

(b) The Collateral and the Series 2004-1 Collateral (in each case, other than the Vehicles) consist of “investment property,” “securities accounts,” “instruments,” “general intangibles,” “deposit accounts” and “chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(c) CRCF owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral and the Series 2004-1 Collateral free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

(d) With respect to the portion of the Collateral that consists of instruments, all original executed copies of each instrument that constitute or evidence part of the Collateral have been delivered to the Trustee. None of the instruments that constitute or evidence the Collateral have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Trustee.

(e) With respect to the portion of the Collateral that consists of general intangibles, CRCF has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Trustee under the Base Indenture.

 

-80-


(f) With respect to the portion of the Collateral and the Series 2004-1 Collateral that consists of deposit or securities accounts maintained with a bank other than the Trustee (collectively, the “Bank Accounts”), CRCF has delivered to the Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the Bank Accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Trustee directing disposition of the funds in the Bank Accounts without further consent by CRCF. The Bank Accounts are not in the name of any person other than CRCF or the Trustee. CRCF has not consented to the bank maintaining the Bank Accounts to comply with instructions of any person other than the Trustee.

(g) Other than the security interest granted to the Trustee under the Base Indenture and this Supplement, CRCF has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral or the Series 2004-1 Collateral. CRCF has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against CRCF that includes a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statement under the Base Indenture or that has been terminated. CRCF is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against CRCF.

(h) CRCF has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against CRCF that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statements (i) relating to the security interest granted to the Trustee in the Base Indenture or (ii) that has been terminated.

Section 10.17. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 10.18. Waiver of Setoff. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplement or any other agreement to the contrary, all payments to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.

Section 10.19. Notices. All notices, requests, instructions and demands to or upon any party hereto to be effective shall be given (i) in the case of CRCF, the Administrator and the Trustee, in the manner set forth in Section 13.1 of the Base Indenture and (ii) in the case of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, in writing, and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, in the case of facsimile notice, when received, or in the case of overnight air courier, one Business Day after the date such notice is delivered to such overnight courier, addressed as follows in the case of the Administrative Agent and to the addresses therefor set forth in Schedule I, in the case
