(i) Each Second Lien Agent agrees that no Second Lien Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Grantor securing any Second Lien Obligations which assets are not also subject to the Lien of each other Second Lien Agent under the Second Lien Collateral Documents, and (ii) CIT and each Grantor agrees not to grant any Lien on any of its assets, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to grant a Lien on any of its assets, in favor of any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder unless it, or such Subsidiary, has granted (or offered to grant with a reasonable opportunity for such Lien to be accepted) a corresponding Lien on such assets in favor of each other Second Lien Agent or the other Second Lien Claimholders; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of CIT or any Grantor to offer any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder a Lien on any assets of CIT or any Grantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall not prohibit the taking of a Lien on such assets by any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders; provided further for the avoidance of doubt that, with respect to the CIT Leasing Documents, CIT Leasing shall be the only applicable Grantor.

2.4. Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the assets and property with respect to which a Lien is granted to secure any Second Lien Obligations shall be identical and constitute Collateral; provided that the Liens securing the CIT Leasing Support Obligations shall be limited to the Collateral owned by CIT Leasing. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 7.9, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(a) upon request by any Second Lien Agent, reasonably to cooperate in good faith (and reasonably to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Second Lien Documents;

(b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Collateral and guaranties for the Second Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.3, shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents; and

(c) in addition, to the extent any guaranty is entered into by any Obligor in respect of any of the Second Lien Obligations other than the Series B Guaranty by CIT on the date hereof and the CIT Leasing Support Obligations (whether or not the other Second Lien Agents or Second Lien Claimholders have consented thereto), a guaranty by such Person shall be entered into in respect of the other Second Lien Obligations and, for all purposes hereunder, such Person shall be deemed a guarantor of such other Second Lien Obligations.

SECTION 3. Enforcement.

3.1. Exercise of Remedies.

(a) Each Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholder shall have an independent right to commence, and if applicable, maintain an Enforcement Action and, subject to Section 5.1, to make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral, in each case pursuant to and as limited by the applicable Second Lien Documents, without any consultation with or the consent of the other Second Lien Agents or any other Second Lien Claimholder; provided, that the Lien securing the Second Lien Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds of such Collateral released or disposed of subject to the equal and ratable priority described in Section 2 and the applicable release provisions of the Second Lien Documents. In exercising Enforcement Actions with respect to the Collateral, any Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholder may enforce the provisions of the Second Lien Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(b) The Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders:

(1) will not contest, protest or object to any Enforcement Action brought by any other Second Lien Agent or any other commercially reasonable exercise by any other Second Lien Agent of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the Second Lien Documents or otherwise so long as the Liens granted to secure the Second Lien Obligations of the Second Lien Claimholders attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the equal and ratable priority described in Section 2; and

(2) will not contest, protest or object to the forbearance by any other Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement Action so long as the Liens granted to secure the Second Lien Obligations of the Second Lien Claimholders attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the equal and ratable priority described in Section 2.

(c) Each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any Proceeds of Collateral in connection with any Enforcement Action against any Collateral in its capacity as a creditor, except to the extent such Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholders are permitted to retain the Proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

(d) Each Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholder may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors of any Issuer or any other Obligor that has guarantied or granted Liens to secure the Second Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Documents and applicable law, including filing any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of such Obligors arising under any Insolvency Proceeding, the Bankruptcy Laws or applicable non-bankruptcy law (including filing an involuntary petition for bankruptcy against CIT or any other Obligor); provided that in the event that any Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its permitted enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Agents or any Second Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest and other amounts owed in respect of the Second Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of any Enforcement Action by any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.

3.2. Notice of Default. Each Second Lien Agent shall give to each other Second Lien Agent, and each Second Lien Claimholder shall give to each Second Lien Agent, concurrently with the giving thereof to any Issuer or any other Obligor any written notice sent by such Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholder at any time during the existence of an Event of Default under the Second Lien Documents, stating such Second Lien Agent’s or any Second Lien Claimholder’s intention to exercise any of their respective enforcement rights or remedies, including written notice pertaining to any foreclosure on any of the Collateral or other judicial or non-judicial remedy in respect thereof and any legal process served or filed in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any party to give notice as required hereby shall not affect the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof or the validity or effectiveness of any such notice as against any Issuer or any other Obligor. Each Issuer and each other Obligor, as applicable, hereby authorizes and consents to each of the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders sending any such notices.

3.3. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders represented by it, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Series A Documents, the Series B Documents and the CIT Leasing Collateral Agreement each constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, each of the Series A Obligations, the Series B Obligations and the CIT Leasing Support Obligations must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then

each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral.

SECTION 4. Payments.

4.1. Application of Proceeds.

(a) Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Collateral or Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral in connection with any Enforcement Action by any Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholder shall be paid by the Designated Agent upon receipt on a pro rata basis to the Second Lien Agents for the payment by each Second Lien Agent of the Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Second Lien Documents.

(b) No Event of Default. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral or Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral may be applied to repurchase, repay or redeem obligations under the New Notes (including purchases of notes in open-market transactions, pursuant to tender offers or otherwise) or other Second Lien Obligations as specified by CIT in its sole discretion in accordance with the Second Lien Documents.

4.2. Payment Turnover. (a) Any Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder in connection with any Enforcement Action in all cases shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Designated Agent for the benefit of all Second Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Designated Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the other Second Lien Agents and Second Lien Claimholders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations shall have occurred.

(b) If in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced following the date of this Agreement any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder shall receive any distribution of money or other property in respect of the Collateral, such money or other property shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Designated Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements. Any Lien received by any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder in any Insolvency Proceeding shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 5. Other Agreements.

5.1. Releases. (a) If in connection with any Enforcement Action by any Second Lien Agent, such Second Lien Agent, for itself or on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders represented by it, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral

or releases any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the Second Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of each other Second Lien Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the other Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its guaranties of the other Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released; provided, that the Lien securing the Second Lien Obligations shall, to the extent required in the applicable Second Lien Collateral Document, remain on the Proceeds of such Collateral released or disposed of in connection with such Enforcement Action and such Lien shall be subject to the equal and ratable priority described in Section 2 and the applicable release provisions of the Second Lien Documents. Each Second Lien Agent is authorized and hereby directed by the Second Lien Claimholders represented by it, for itself or on behalf of such Second Lien Claimholders, to promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Second Lien Agent or CIT or such Subsidiary Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as such Second Lien Agent or CIT or such Subsidiary Guarantor may request to effectively confirm such release (acceptance of the New Notes by the applicable Second Lien Claimholders on the date hereof to be conclusive evidence of such authorization and direction).

(b) Until the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations has occurred, to the extent that any Second Lien Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral or any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligation under its guaranty, other than in connection with a Discharge of Applicable Second Lien Obligations, and any such Liens or guaranty are later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new liens from CIT or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any additional guaranties from any Subsidiary Guarantor, then each other Second Lien Agent, for itself and for the applicable Second Lien Claimholders represented by it, shall be granted a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the pari passu lien provisions of this Agreement, and an additional guaranty, as the case may be.

5.2. Insurance. To the extent required under the Second Lien Documents, each Second Lien Agent shall be named as additional insureds under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Grantor, to the extent provided under the applicable Second Lien Documents. Unless and until the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations has occurred, and to the extent provided under the Second Lien Documents, all Proceeds of any such policy and any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the Designated Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Collateral Documents and then, to the extent no Second Lien Obligations are outstanding or such payment of Proceeds is not required, to the owner of the subject property, or such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such Proceeds over to the Designated Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

5.3. Amendments to Second Lien Documents. (a) The Second Lien Documents, other than this Agreement, representing any Series of Second Lien Obligations may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and any Series of Second Lien Obligations may be Refinanced, in each case without the consent of any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder of any other Series of Second Lien Obligations; provided, however, that the holders of such Refinancing debt bind themselves in a writing addressed to the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) To the extent, and only to the extent, permitted by this Agreement and the other Second Lien Documents, CIT, the other Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors may from time to time incur, issue or sell one or more series or classes of additional Second Lien Obligations (the “Additional Second Lien Debt”). The Additional Second Lien Debt and any guaranties delivered by CIT or the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection therewith (the “Additional Second Lien Guaranties”) may be secured by the Second Lien Collateral Documents; provided that the administrative agent and the collateral agent or similar agents (the “Authorized Representatives”) in respect of the Additional Second Lien Debt shall deliver a Joinder Agreement to become parties to this Agreement, and shall become parties to the other Second Lien Documents, each in accordance with its terms. This Agreement may be amended from time to time pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements upon prior notice to but without the consent of the Second Lien Agents or the Second Lien Claimholders to add the Authorized Representatives of any applicable Additional Second Lien Debt.

5.4. Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. (a) Until the Discharge of Series A Obligations has occurred, the Series A Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as gratuitous bailee for each Second Lien Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Section 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a))(2) and 9-313(e) of the UCC) solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Second Lien Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. If, prior to the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, any Obligor that is required to deliver possession or control of any Pledged Collateral to a Second Lien Agent pursuant to the terms of any Second Lien Document delivers possession or control of such Pledged Collateral to the Series A Collateral Agent, such Obligor shall be deemed to be in compliance with the applicable requirement under such Second Lien Document.

(b) The Series A Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or that any Lien created under the Second Lien Collateral Documents is valid or perfected, or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4. The duties or responsibilities of the Series A Collateral Agent under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral as provided in paragraph (d) below.

(c) The Series A Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of the Second Lien Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder and each Second Lien Agent and each Second Lien Claimholder hereby waives and releases the Series A Collateral Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Series A Collateral Agent’s role under this Section 5.4 as gratuitous bailee and gratuitous agent with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

(d) Following the Discharge of Series A Obligations, the Series A Collateral Agent shall deliver without recourse, representation or warranty the remaining Pledged Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (such endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), first, to the Series B Collateral Agent to the extent the Discharge of Series B Obligations has not occurred, and second, to CIT or its designee to the extent no Second Lien Obligations (other than the Support Agreements) remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).

SECTION 6. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

6.1. No Reliance. Each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders represented by it, acknowledges that it and such Second Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on any other Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own decision to enter into each of the applicable Second Lien Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own decision in taking or not taking any action under such Second Lien Documents or this Agreement.

6.2. No Warranties or Liability. Each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that each of the other Second Lien Agents and the other Second Lien Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Second Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Second Lien Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective debt securities, loans and extensions of credit, as applicable, under the Second Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. Each Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the other Second Lien Agents or Second Lien Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or default under any agreements with the Issuers or any other Obligor (including the Second Lien Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

6.3. No Waiver of Lien Priorities. (a) No right of the Second Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Agents, or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any Second Lien Document (except as set forth in such documents) shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Issuers or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any Second Lien Claimholder or any Second Lien Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement or any of the Second Lien Documents (except as set forth in such documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which any Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Issuers and the other Obligors under the Second Lien Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(a)), any Second Lien Claimholder, any Second Lien Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the Second Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, any other Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, without incurring any liabilities to any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the Second Lien Agents or any Second Lien Claimholders is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the Second Lien Obligations or any Lien on any Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of any Obligor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the Second Lien Obligations, without any restriction as to the tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by such Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholders, the applicable Second Lien Obligations or the applicable Second Lien Documents;

(2) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the Collateral or any liability of any Obligor to such Second Lien Claimholders or Second Lien Agent, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(3) settle or compromise any Second Lien Obligation or any other liability of any Obligor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the Second Lien Obligations) in any manner or order; and

(4) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any security or any Obligor or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with any Obligor or any Collateral and any security and any

guarantor or any liability of any Obligor to the Second Lien Claimholders or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, also agrees that the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Agents shall have no liability to any other Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders, and each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any claim against any other Second Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Agent, arising out of any and all actions which any Second Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to:

(1) the Second Lien Documents;

(2) the collection of the Second Lien Obligations; or

(3) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, any Collateral.

Each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the other Second Lien Claimholders and Second Lien Agents have no duty to them in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations or otherwise.

6.4. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Second Lien Documents;

(b) except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Second Lien Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any Second Lien Document;

(c) except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any exchange of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding; or

(e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Issuer or any other Obligor in respect of any Second Lien Agent, the Second Lien Obligations or any Second Lien Claimholder in respect of this Agreement;

provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or otherwise deemed to amend or modify the rights and obligations of any Obligor under any of the Second Lien Documents. The rights, privileges and benefits of (i) the Series A Collateral Agent set forth in the Series A Indenture and (ii) the Series B Collateral Agent set forth in the Series B Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference.

SECTION 7. Miscellaneous.

7.2. Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement and the Second Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to any other Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholder subject to the Second Lien Documents, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Obligor constituting Second Lien Obligations in reliance hereof. Each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to an Issuer or any other Obligor shall include such Person as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Issuer or other Obligor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations or if all Second Lien Obligations (other than the CIT Leasing Support Obligations) become unsecured obligations as contemplated under the Second Lien Documents in the event of an upgrade to an investment grade credit rating.

7.3. Amendments; Waivers. Subject to the last sentence of Section 5.3(b), no amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any Second Lien Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time; provided, however, that no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement to the extent it is effected solely to implement the succession or addition of a new Series A Representative and/or Series A Collateral Agent in connection with a Refinancing of the Series A Obligations in whole or in part shall require the approval, consent or signature of the Series B Representative or the Series B Collateral Agent, and no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement to the extent it is effected

solely to implement the succession or addition of a new Series B Representative and/or Series B Collateral Agent in connection with a Refinancing of the Series B Obligations in whole or in part shall require the approval, consent or signature of the Series A Representative or the Series A Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither CIT nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent any Obligor’s rights (individually or as a consolidated entity with its respective Subsidiaries) are directly affected.

7.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Obligors. Each of the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Agents shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of CIT and its Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the Second Lien Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Second Lien Obligations. No Second Lien Agent nor Second Lien Claimholder shall have no duty to advise any other Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholder, it or they shall be under no obligation:

(a) to make, and such Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholder providing such information shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided;

(b) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion;

7.6. Application of Payments. All payments received in accordance with terms of this Agreement by any Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholders may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Second Lien Obligations provided for in the Second Lien Documents.
