ARTICLE V
RIGHT TO WAIVE PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture or the Related Docu-ments, 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 Vehi-cle 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 Les-sees, the Borrowers and CRCF have determined to in-crease 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 Note-holder 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.
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 Trust-ee in the Series 2004-1 Collection Account for ratable distribution as described below.
-57-
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 ofExhibit 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 Trus-tee 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 Dis-tribution 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 Dis-tribution Date, the Admin-istrator will allocate to the Series 2004-1 Collection Account on a daily basis all Designated Amounts collected on such day. On each fol-lowing 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 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
-58-
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 Desig-nated 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 Amor-tization Period shall commence after receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request, all such Designated Amounts will thereafter be considered Principal Collections allo-cated to the Series 2004-1 Noteholders.

ARTICLE VII
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:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Purchaser (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or
(ii) impose on any Purchaser (or its holding company) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting the Indenture or the Related Documents or the funding of Eurodollar Tranches by such Purchaser;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Purchaser of mak-ing, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Tranches (or maintaining its obliga-tion 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.
-61-
(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 reduc-tions 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 here-under 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 deduc-tions and (iii) CRCF shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(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
-62-
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 reason-ably 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 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:
-63-
(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 prepay-ment in connection with a Class A-1 Decrease and/or Class A-2 Decrease after CRCF has given irrevocable notice 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 bor-rowed 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
-64-
would have com-menced 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 com-parable period or (y) if such Purchaser is able to terminate the funding source before its sched-uled 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 pay-ment 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 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 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.
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 Adminis-tra-tor 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 Adminis-trative 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 repre-sents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administra-tive Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own apprai-sal of and investi-ga-tion into the business, operations, property, financial and other condi-tion 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 docu-ments and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and deci-sions 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, opera-tions, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of CRCF, the Lessors, the Lessees, the Permitted Sublessees, the Intermediary and the Adminis-trator. 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 busi-ness, operations, property, condi-tion (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 reim-bursed 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 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 connec-tion 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
-70-
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.

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 propor-tion 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 neces-sary 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 por-tion 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 becom-ing due and payable by CRCF hereunder or under the Series 2004-1 Notes to set-off and appro-priate and apply against any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provi-sional 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.
