ARTICLE V
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 2004-4 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 2004-4 Required Enhancement Amount or (ii) that the Lessees, the Borrowers and CRCF have determined to increase any Series 2004-4 Maximum Amount or the percentage set forth in clause (y) of any of paragraphs (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the definition of Series 2004-4 Required Enhancement Amount, (such notice, a “Waiver Request”), each Series 2004-4 Noteholder may, at its option, waive the Series 2004-4 Maximum Non-Program Vehicle Amount, any other Series 2004-4 Maximum Amount or any increase in the Series 2004-4 Required Enhancement Amount based upon clause (y) of any of paragraphs (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the definition of the Series 2004-4 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 Rating Agencies by the Trustee.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request (a copy of which the Trustee shall promptly provide to the Rating Agencies), all amounts which would otherwise be allocated to the Series 2004-4 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 2004-4 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 ofExhibit C by which the Series 2004-4 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 the Funding Agent with respect to each Purchaser Group. If the Trustee receives the Consents from the Requisite Noteholders agreeing to waiver of the applicable Waivable Amount within 45 days after the Trustee notifies the Administrative Agent of a Waiver Request (the day on which such 45-day period expires, the “Consent Period Expiration Date”), (i) the applicable Waivable Amount shall be deemed waived by the consenting Series 2004-4 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 (2) Business Days) provide the Rating Agency with notice of such waiver. Any Purchaser Group 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
58
to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the non-consenting Purchaser Groups. 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 Funding Agent with respect to a non-consenting Purchaser Group, such Purchaser Group’sprorata share based on the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group relative to the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to all non-consenting Purchaser Groups of the Designated Amounts up to the amount required to reduce to zero the Purchaser Group Invested Amounts with respect to all non-consenting Purchaser Groups; and
(ii) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2004-4 Excess Collection Account.
If the amount distributed pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph is not sufficient to reduce the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to each non-consenting Purchaser Group to zero on the date specified therein, then on each day following such Distribution Date, the Administrator will allocate to the Series 2004-4 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 2004-4 Collection Account and deposit the same in the Series 2004-4 Distribution Account for distribution to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the non-consenting Purchaser Groups. 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 Funding Agent with respect to a non-consenting Purchaser Group, such Purchaser Group’sprorata share based on the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group relative to the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to all non-consenting Purchaser Groups of the Designated Amounts in the Series 2004-4 Collection Account as of the applicable Determination Date up to the amount required to reduce to zero the Purchaser Group Invested Amounts with respect to all non-consenting Purchaser Groups; and
(b) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2004-4 Excess Collection Account.
If the Requisite Noteholders do not timely consent to such waiver, the Designated Amounts will be re-allocated to the Series 2004-4 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 2004-4 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 2004-4 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 Affected Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or
(ii) impose on any Affected Party or the London interbank market any other condition affecting the Indenture or the Related Documents or the funding of Eurodollar Tranches by such Affected Party;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Party 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 Affected Party hereunder or in connection herewith (whether principal, interest or otherwise), then CRCF will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Affected Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Affected Party or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Party’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, CRCF shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of an Affected Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Party 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 the Funding Agent with respect to such Affected Party) 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 2004-4 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 7.1 shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
63
(d) Failure or delay on the part of an Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation;provided that CRCF shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section 7.1 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies CRCF of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’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.
(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, each Funding Agent, each Program Support Provider and each member of each Purchaser Group 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, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group 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, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any Purchaser Group 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 2004-4 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 7.2 shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
64
(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 issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each member of each Purchaser Group and each Program Support Provider, 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, such Funding Agent, such member of such Purchaser Group or such Program Support Provider 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, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any Purchaser Group 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, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group, repay such refund (plus interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group if the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained herein shall require the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any Purchaser Group 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, each Funding Agent, each Program Support Provider and each member of each Purchaser Group (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 2004-4 Notes and this Supplement;
65
(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 2004-4 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 Series 2004-4 Closing Date (or, if later, the date the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group 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, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group from duly completing and delivering the relevant form with respect to it, and the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group so advises CRCF and the Administrative Agent.
(h) If a beneficial or equity owner of the Administrative Agent, a Funding Agent, a Program Support Provider or a member of a Purchaser Group (instead of the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agent, the Program Support Provider or the member of the Purchaser Group 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, a Funding Agent, a Program Support Provider or a member of a Purchaser Group for purposes of Section 7.2(g).
Section 7.3.Break Funding Payments. CRCF agrees to indemnify each Purchaser Group and to hold each Purchaser Group harmless from any loss or expense which such Purchaser Group may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by CRCF to accept any Increase after CRCF has given irrevocable notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Supplement, (b) the conversion into or continuation of a CP Tranche or a Eurodollar Tranche that occurs other than on the last day of the applicable CP Rate Period or Eurodollar Period, (c) default by CRCF in making any prepayment in connection with a Decrease after CRCF has given irrevocable notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5 or (d) the making of a prepayment of a CP Tranche or a Eurodollar Tranche (including, without limitation, any Decrease) prior to the termination of the CP Rate Period for such CP Tranche or the Eurodollar Period for such Eurodollar Tranche, as the case may be, or the making of a Decrease on a date other than as specified in any notice of a Decrease or in a greater amount than contained in any notice of a Decrease. Such indemnification shall include an amount determined by the Funding Agent with respect to such Purchaser Group and shall equal (a) in the case of the losses or expenses associated with a CP Tranche or a Eurodollar Tranche, either (x) the excess, if any, of (i) such Purchaser Group’s cost of funding the amount so prepaid or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such
66
prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the CP Rate Period or the Eurodollar Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the CP Rate Period or 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 Group upon redeployment of an amount of funds equal to the amount prepaid or not borrowed, converted or continued for a comparable period or (y) if such Purchaser Group is able to terminate the funding source before its scheduled maturity, any costs associated with such termination and (b) in the case of the losses or expenses incurred by a Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser, the losses and expenses incurred by such Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser in connection with the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Pooled Funding CP Conduit Purchaser as a result of the failure to accept an Increase, a default in the making of a Decrease or the making of a Decrease in an amount or on a date not contained in a notice of a Decrease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments made by CRCF pursuant to this subsection shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2004-4 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 Funding Agent on behalf of a Purchaser Group to CRCF shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 7.4.Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Eurodollar Period:

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by any APA Bank that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such APA Bank 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 Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to any Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (a) above) or with respect to the related Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (b) above) shall not be allocated to any Eurodollar Tranche.
Section 7.5.Mitigation Obligations. If an Affected Party requests compensation under Section 7.1, or if CRCF is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser Group or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser Group pursuant to Section 7.2, then, upon written notice from CRCF, such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, as the case may be, 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
67
of its offices, branches or affiliates, which pays a price for such assignment which is acceptable to such Purchaser Group and its assignee, in the judgment of such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, 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 Affected Party or Purchaser Group to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Party or Purchaser Group.

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 2004-4 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 APA Bank or Funding Agent and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “APA Bank,” and “Funding Agent” 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 Funding Agents, the Trustee, CRCF and the Administrator. If JPMorgan Chase shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Supplement, then the Requisite Noteholders shall appoint a successor administrative agent from among the Funding Agents, which successor administrative agent shall be approved by CRCF and the Administrator (which
72
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 ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Administrator 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 IX 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.

Each CP Conduit Purchaser and APA Bank hereby confirms and agrees that in connection with any transfer by it of an interest in the Series 2004-4 Note, such CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank 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 11.3.Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank in a Purchaser Group (a “Benefitted Purchaser Group”) shall at any time receive in respect of its Purchaser Group Invested Amount any distribution of principal, interest, Commitment Fees or any interest thereon, 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 Group, if any, in respect of such other Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Invested Amount, or interest thereon, the APA Banks in such Benefitted Purchaser Group shall purchase for cash from the CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Banks in the other Purchaser Group such portion of such other CP Conduit Purchaser’s or APA Banks’ interest in the Series 2004-4 Notes, or shall provide such other CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Purchaser Group to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with the other Purchaser Group;provided,however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Purchaser Group, 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 CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank so purchasing a portion of another Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group 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 CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank were the direct holder of such portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Purchaser Groups provided by law, each CP Conduit Purchaser and APA Bank 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 2004-4 Notes to set-off and appropriate and apply against any and all deposits (general or special, time
78
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 Group to or for the credit or the account of CRCF. Each CP Conduit Purchaser and APA Bank agrees promptly to notify CRCF, the Administrator and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank;provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 11.4.No Bankruptcy Petition. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the later of payment in full of all Series of Notes, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, CRCF any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
(b) CRCF, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and each APA Bank hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Commercial Paper issued by, or for the benefit of, a CP Conduit Purchaser, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such CP Conduit Purchaser (or the Person issuing Commercial Paper for the benefit of such CP Conduit Purchaser) any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
(c) This covenant shall survive the termination of this Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
Section 11.5.Limited Recourse. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any obligations of each CP Conduit Purchaser hereunder to any party hereto are solely the corporate obligations of such CP Conduit Purchaser and shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or are available to such CP Conduit Purchaser in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all of its outstanding Commercial Paper and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such CP Conduit Purchaser but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party against a CP Conduit Purchaser shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all of its Commercial Paper.
(b) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any CP Conduit Purchaser contained herein shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of such CP Conduit Purchaser, its administrative agent, the Funding Agent with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser or any of their Affiliates by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Supplement is solely a corporate obligation of such CP Conduit Purchaser individually, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of such CP Conduit Purchaser, its administrative agent, the Funding Agent with respect to such CP Conduit
79
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such CP Conduit Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by such CP Conduit Purchaser of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Supplement;provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or omissions made by them. The provisions of this Section 11.5 shall survive termination of this Supplement.
Section 11.6.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 Group (including in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Supplement the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel, other than counsel to the Administrative Agent, for all such Purchaser Groups) 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 Funding Agent 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 11.6 shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2004-4 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.

(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 2004-4 Collateral in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2004-4 Noteholders, 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 2004-4 Collateral (in each case, other than the Vehicles) consist of “investment property,” “securities accounts,” “instruments,” “general intangibles” and “deposit accounts” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
(c) CRCF owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral and the Series 2004-4 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.
(f) With respect to the portion of the Collateral and the Series 2004-4 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
82
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, the Series 2004-4 Agent 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 Series 2004-4 Agent or 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 2004-4 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.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
Section 11.19.Waiver of Setoff. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplement or any other agreement to the contrary, all payments to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents, the CP Conduit Purchasers and the APA Banks hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.
