Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 28, 2009, CIT Financial Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of CIT Group Inc. (the “Company”), reached an agreement to amend its $3 billion securities-based financing facility (the “GSI Facility”) with Goldman Sachs International. A revised, redacted copy of the GSI Facility which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K dated November 16, 2009, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

On December 10, 2009, in connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, (a) CIT Group Inc. (“CIT” or the “Company”) issued its Series A Second-Priority Secured Notes due at various dates from 2013 to 2017 (the “Series A Notes”) and (b) CIT Group Funding Company of Delaware LLC (“CIT Funding”) issued its Series B Second-Priority Secured Notes due at various dates from 2013 to 2017 (the “Series B Notes”). Each of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes are subordinate to the rights and interests of the lenders under the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2009, as amended on December 10, 2009, among CIT and certain of its subsidiaries party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “First Lien Credit Facility”). In connection with its issuance of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, and in order to memorialize the relative rights and priorities of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes (the “Second Lien Debt Holders”) to the lenders in the First Lien Credit Facility (the “First Lien Lenders”), CIT and certain of its subsidiaries, Bank of America, N.A., as agent for the First Lien Holders, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company of America, as trustee for the Second Lien Holders, entered into the Senior Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2009 (the “Senior Intercreditor Agreement”). A copy of the Senior Intercreditor Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

In connection with its issuance of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, and in order to memorialize the relative rights and priorities between the holders of the Series A Notes and the holders of the Series B Notes, CIT and certain of its subsidiaries and Deutsche Bank Trust Company of America, as trustee for the holders of the Series A Notes and the holders of the Series B Notes, entered into the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2009 (the “Junior Intercreditor Agreement”). A copy of the Junior Intercreditor Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.2.

The Senior Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Intercreditor Agreement are being filed in response to inquiries that the Company has received from investors.

Forward-Looking Statements

     This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “initiative,” “objective,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “outlook,” “priorities,” “target,” “intend,” “evaluate,” “pursue,” “commence,” “seek,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, including without limitation, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and expectations regarding future events and our financial performance, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially. Important factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations include, among others, the risk that CIT is unsuccessful in its efforts to complete the remaining stages of its business restructuring, the risk that CIT is delayed in completing its management changes, the risk that CIT is delayed in completing its transition to a bank-centric business model, and the risk that CIT continues to be subject to liquidity constraints and higher funding costs. Further, there is a risk that the valuations resulting from our fresh start accounting analysis, which are inherently uncertain and still subject to change, will differ significantly from our expectations, due to the complexity of the valuation process, the degree of judgment required, and the amount of work still remaining. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which the statements were made. More detailed information about these factors are described in CIT’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. CIT is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The purpose of this communication is to set forth the terms and conditions of the above-referenced Total Return Swap Facility entered into on the Trade Date specified below in accordance with the terms set forth in a Confirmation dated June 6, 2008 (the “Original Facility”) and amended and restated as of the date hereof (the “Facility”) between GSI and Counterparty. This communication constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Master Agreement specified below. This communication (this “Confirmation” or this “Amended and Restated Confirmation”) supersedes all prior communications regarding the Original Facility and the Facility (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that this sentence will not be deemed to alter or affect the “Rescission of Notices” provisions set forth below).
This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “2006 Definitions”) and the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions as amended and supplemented by the May 2003 Supplement to the ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (together the “Credit Definitions” and together with the 2006 Definitions, the “Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). In the event of any inconsistency between the 2006 Definitions and the Credit Definitions, the 2006 Definitions shall govern.
This Confirmation supplements, forms a part of, and is subject to, the 1992 form of ISDA Master Agreement dated as of June 6, 2008 (including the Schedule and Credit Support Annex thereto), as amended or replaced from time to time (the “Master Agreement”) between GSI and Counterparty. This Confirmation will be read and construed as one with the executed Master Agreement and all other outstanding Confirmations between the parties, so that all such Confirmations and the executed Master Agreement constitute a single Agreement between the parties.
All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference into the Master Agreement will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation and the Definitions the Master Agreement or another Confirmation, as the case may be, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Facility and each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.
This Confirmation evidences a separate total return swap transaction (each a “Transaction”) with respect to each Reference Obligation specified in Annex A from time to time as if the details specified in Annex A with respect to that Reference Obligation were set out in the Confirmation in full. Each such Transaction will have a unique Transaction Reference Number as is set out in Annex A. The terms of the Facility and each particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

  (iii) GSI has evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it of the authorization and approval of this Amended and Restated Confirmation and the Amended CIT Group Guaranty, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to GSI;

  For the avoidance of doubt, all terms of the Original Facility (other than those amended as of the Amendment Trade Date) shall continue to apply prior to the Facility Amendment Date.
 
   
 
  Counterparty covenants and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Conditions to Effectiveness to be satisfied as soon as possible on or after the Amendment Trade Date and in any event not later than October 28, 2009.
 
   
 
  If the Senior Credit Facility shall be replaced or refinanced in whole or in part by a new agreement or facility on or prior to the Facility Amendment Date, the foregoing covenant and the Conditions to Effectiveness shall apply in relation to such new agreement or facility as well as, in the case of a partial replacement or refinancing, to the Senior Credit Facility.

*   Confidential treatment has been requested and the redacted material has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

5



  a.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs rated [*] by each of S&P and Moody’s may be up to [*]% of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount, provided, however, that any RO rated [*] by each of S&P and Moody’s but also rated by Fitch and rated lower than [*] by Fitch shall be deemed for purposes of this test to be rated [*] by S&P and Moody’s;
 
  b.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs rated at least [*] by each of S&P and Moody’s (excluding ROs that are rated [*]) may not exceed (i) [*]% of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount minus (ii) the sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs rated lower than [*] by either S&P or Moody’s, provided, however, that (x) any RO rated [*] by each of S&P and Moody’s but also rated by Fitch and rated lower than [*] by Fitch shall be deemed for purposes of this test to be rated [*] by S&P and Moody’s and (y) any RO rated [*] by each of S&P and Moody’s but also rated by Fitch and rated lower than [*] by Fitch shall be deemed for purposes of this test to be rated lower than [*] by S&P and Moody’s;
 
  c.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of Qualifying [*]-Rated ROs (excluding ROs that are rated [*] or [*]) may not exceed (i) [*]% of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount minus (ii) the sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs that are either (A) rated at least [*] by each of S&P and Moody’s but are not Qualifying [*]-Rated ROs or (B) rated lower than [*] by either S&P or Moody’s, provided, however, that any RO rated [*] by each of S&P and Moody’s but also rated by Fitch and rated lower than [*] by Fitch shall be deemed for purposes of this test to be rated lower than [*] by S&P and Moody’s;
 
  d.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs that are either (A) rated at least [*] by each of S&P and Moody’s but are not Qualifying [*]-Rated ROs or (B) rated lower than [*] by either S&P or Moody’s may not exceed [*]% of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount, provided, however, that any RO rated [*] by each of S&P and Moody’s but also rated by Fitch and rated lower than [*] by Fitch shall be deemed for purposes of this test to be rated lower than [*] by S&P and Moody’s;
 
  e.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs which are obligations secured by commercial loans may not exceed [*]% of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount;
 
  f.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs which are obligations secured by equipment loans or leases (including aircraft leases and railcar leases), may not exceed [*]% of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount;
 
  g.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs which are obligations secured by aircraft leases or railcar leases may not exceed [*]% of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount;
 
*   Confidential treatment has been requested and the redacted material has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

6



  h.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs which are obligations secured by Private Student Loans may not exceed [*]% of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount;
 
  i.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs which are secured by Guaranteed Student Loans may not exceed [*]% of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount;

  k.   The sum of the Net USD Notional Amounts of ROs agreed between GSI and Counterparty pursuant to (xxiv) below shall not exceed such percentage of the Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount as shall be specified by GSI.
      For purposes of the foregoing tests:
 
      (a) the ratings applied for both the new RO proposed to be added to the Portfolio and the ratings for the existing ROs in the Portfolio shall be current ratings of such ROs as of the proposed Effective Date for the new RO;
 
      (b) If any RO consists of more than one of the asset types described in e. through j., the full Net USD Notional Amount of such RO shall be counted against each of the relevant percentage restrictions; and
 
      (c) [*] means [*] (S&P), [*] (Moody’s) and [*] (Fitch); and [*] means [*] (S&P), [*] (Moody’s), and [*] (Fitch); and [*] means [*] (S&P), [*] (Moody’s) and [*] (Fitch).

7



  (xix)   Would not cause the total number of ROs to exceed 50;
 
  (xx)   GSI owning the RO in an amount equal to the Net USD Notional Amount would not violate any law, rule or regulation applicable to GSI;
 
  (xxi)   In the case of a Counterparty Originated Asset, Counterparty has delivered to GSI an executed indemnity letter in a form acknowledged in a letter agreement between GSI and Counterparty of even date herewith (the “Indemnity Letter”);
 
  (xxii)   The terms of such RO require delivery to holders of such RO of Trustee/Servicer Reports providing information of a degree and with a frequency which is customary in Rule 144A securitizations of the same asset types;
 
  (xxiii)   Is issued in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
 
  (xxiv)   If such RO was issued after the Facility Amendment Date, then unless such RO is subject to backup servicing arrangements reasonably acceptable to GSI, the terms of such RO provide for a majority of the holders of such RO by principal amount to have the right to remove and replace any servicer, collateral manager or other administrative service provider for the issuer of such RO at any time; and
 
  (xxv)   Also includes any other obligation as GSI may agree from time to time following request from Counterparty.

Re-Striking
  On giving no less than 3 Business Days notice in writing to Counterparty GSI may, with effect as of any Re-Striking Date, elect to re-strike the Initial Price of one or more ROs in the Portfolio as determined by GSI such that, had such adjustment been in effect on the Re-Striking Date, the MTM would have been equal to zero (a “Re-Striking”); provided, however, that no prior notice to Counterparty by GSI shall be required for GSI to designate as a Re-Striking Date any Valuation Date during the Retained Cash Flow Period on which GSI would otherwise be required to Transfer Eligible Credit Support to Counterparty. A Re-Striking shall also occur on the Effective Date of any Re-Striking Substitution designated by Counterparty pursuant to “Portfolio Adjustment Notice” above. If GSI so elects or if Counterparty makes a Re-Striking Substitution:
 
   
 
  (i) a Removal Date shall be deemed to occur on the Re-Striking Date, with respect to the Notional Amount of each RO for which a Re-Striking occurs and the parties shall make the payments required hereunder in connection with a Removal Date;
 
   
 
  (ii) a new Effective Date shall be deemed to occur on the Re-Striking Date with respect to the Notional Amount of each RO for which a Re-Striking occurs and the parties shall make the payments required hereunder in connection with an Effective Date;

  (vi) the Initial Haircut Percentage of each RO for which a Re-Striking occurs shall be reset to the Haircut Percentage on the Re-Striking Date.
 
   
 
  For the avoidance of doubt, on any Re-Striking Date, by operation of (and without duplication of) the Initial Payment, the Effective Date Exchange provision of Paragraph 2 and the Termination Payment provision of Paragraph 7, and with respect to each RO for which a Re-Striking Date occurs on such date:
 
   
 
  (1) GSI shall pay to CIT Barbados an amount in USD equal to the Notional Amount times the Initial Haircut Percentage for the relevant RO before the Re-Striking Date for the relevant RO divided by Initial FX Rate (each as determined before such Re-Striking);
 
   
 
  (2) CIT Barbados shall pay to GSI an amount in USD equal to the Notional Amount times Initial Haircut Percentage divided by Initial FX Rate (each as determined pursuant to such Re-Striking).
 
   
 
  (3) Counterparty shall pay to GSI an amount in the Specified Currency equal to the Notional Amount for the relevant RO multiplied by its Current Price (each as determined pursuant to such Re-Striking).
 
   
 
  (4) GSI shall pay to Counterparty an amount in USD equal to the Notional Amount for the relevant RO multiplied by the Current Price divided by the Initial FX Rate for the relevant RO (each as determined pursuant to such Re-Striking).
 
   
 
  (5) GSI shall pay to Counterparty an amount in the Specified Currency equal to the Notional Amount of the relevant RO times Current Price.
 
   
 
  (6) Counterparty shall pay to GSI an amount in USD equal to the Notional Amount times (Initial Price plus Initial Haircut Percentage) divided by Initial FX Rate (each as determined before such Re-Striking).
 
   
 
  Items (1) and (2) shall be netted with respect to all ROs for which a Re-Striking Date is occurring on such date and (i) if a net amount is payable by CIT Barbados to GSI (a “Net Re-Striking Haircut Addition Amount”), CIT Barbados shall pay such Net Re-Striking Haircut Addition Amount to GSI and (ii) if a net amount is payable by GSI to CIT Barbados (a “Net Re-Striking

25



     
 
  Haircut Return Amount”), then
 
   
 
 
(A) on each Re-Striking Date occurring during the Retained Cash Flow Period, GSI shall retain and credit such Net Re-Striking Haircut Return Amount to the Additional Collateralization Amount (each such amount a “Retained Net Re-Striking Haircut Return Amount”) and
 
   
 
 
(B) on each Re-Striking Date occurring on or after the Target Exposure Date, GSI shall pay such Net Re-Striking Haircut Return Amount to CIT Barbados, provided that if the calculation of Facility Exposure, taking into account the RO Haircut Amount for each RO after giving effect to each Re-Striking occurring on such Re-Striking Date, results in a Delivery Amount or Return Amount becoming due to GSI by Counterparty, GSI shall pay to CIT Barbados only the portion of such amount that exceeds such Delivery Amount or Return Amount (and with respect to the balance of such amount shall treat Counterparty as having Transferred on such date Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support in the form of Cash with a Value equal to such balance).
 
   
 
  Items (3), (4), (5) and (6) shall be netted with respect to all ROs for which a Re-Striking Date is occurring on such date and (i) if a net amount is payable by Counterparty to GSI (a “Net Re-Striking Loss Amount”), Counterparty shall pay such Net Re-Striking Loss Amount to GSI and (ii) if a net amount is payable by GSI to Counterparty (a “Net Re-Striking Gain Amount”), then
 
   
 
 
(A) on each Re-Striking Date occurring during the Retained Cash Flow Period, GSI shall retain and credit such Net Re-Striking Gain Amount to the Additional Collateralization Amount (each such amount a “Retained Net Re-Striking Gain Amount”)
 
   
 
 
and
 
   
 
 
(B) on each Re-Striking Date occurring on or after the Target Exposure Date, GSI shall pay such Net Re-Striking Gain Amount to Counterparty, provided that if the calculation of Facility Exposure, taking into account the Market Related Amount for each RO after giving effect to the each Re-Striking occurring on such Re-Striking Date, results in a Delivery Amount or Return Amount becoming due to GSI by Counterparty, GSI shall pay to Counterparty only the portion of such amount that exceeds such Delivery Amount or Return Amount (and with respect to the balance of such amount shall treat Counterparty as having Transferred on such date Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support in the form of Cash with a Value equal to such balance).
 
   
 
  To the extent a Net Re-Striking Loss Amount is payable to GSI on the Facility Amendment Date, Counterparty authorizes GSI, and GSI agrees to effect such payment by treating an amount of Posted Credit Support in the form of cash posted by Counterparty under the Credit Support Annex equal to (i) if the Net Re-Striking Loss Amount exceeds such posted cash, the amount of such posted cash or (ii) otherwise, the Net Re-Striking Loss Amount, in each case, as being transferred on the Facility Amendment Date as a payment by Counterparty to GSI, with the effect that only any remaining shortfall amount will then be due from Counterparty to GSI.

Credit Event
  Failure to Pay; provided “Failure to Pay” shall mean:
 
   
 
  after the expiration of any applicable grace period (however defined under the terms of the RO), the occurrence of a non-payment of a payment of interest Scheduled to be Due or principal due on the RO on any date, in accordance with the terms of such RO at the time of such failure. The occurrence of a Failure to Pay shall be determined without regard to the effect of any provisions of the RO that permit or provide for the limitation of payments of principal or interest in accordance with the terms of the RO pursuant to an available funds cap or otherwise, that provide for the capitalization or deferral of interest on the RO, or that provide for the extinguishing or reduction of such payments of principal or interest without a corresponding payment to Holders of the RO.
 
   
 
  Bankruptcy (as defined in the Credit Definitions) of the Reference Entity or any Insurer and/or credit support provider. For the avoidance of doubt a “credit support provider” for the foregoing purpose is an entity, if any, indicated as such in Annex A under the heading “guarantor or credit support provider” and does not refer to CIT Group Inc. or CIT Barbados as “Credit Support Providers” for purposes of the Master Agreement.
 
   
 
  "Scheduled to be Due” means in the case of an interest payment that such interest payment would accrue during the related calculation period for the RO using the Reference Obligation Coupon identified in Annex A on the outstanding principal balance of the RO for such calculation period, assuming for this purpose that sufficient funds are available therefor in accordance with the terms of the RO.
 
   
Credit Event Notice

LIBOR Breakage Payment
Date:
  The occurrence of a (i) Removal Date, (ii) Principal Payment Date, (iii) Defaulted Termination Date; or (iv) a Re-Striking Date, unless any such date occurs on either (a) a Floating Rate Period End Date or (b) the Facility End Date.
 
   
LIBOR Breakage Payment:
  In the event, and only in the event, that a LIBOR Breakage Payment Date occurs, Counterparty shall pay to GSI on each such LIBOR Breakage Payment Date an amount equal to the LIBOR Breakage Payment Amount (if positive) for such LIBOR Breakage Payment Date or GSI shall pay to Counterparty an amount equal to the absolute value of the LIBOR Breakage Payment Amount (if negative) for such LIBOR Breakage Payment Date.
 
   
LIBOR Breakage Payment
Amount:
  With respect to each LIBOR Breakage Payment Date, an amount calculated by the Calculation Agent according to the following formula (the “LIBOR Breakage Payment Amount”):
 
   
 
  With respect to a Principal Payment Date:
 
   
 
  (L1 — L2) x (D / 360) x Amortized Net Notional Amount / FX Rate
 
   
 
  With respect to a Removal Date or Defaulted Termination Date:
 
   
 
  (L1 — L2) x (D / 360) x Terminated Notional Amount x Initial Price / FX Rate
 
   
 
  With respect to a Re-Striking Date and any Net Re-Striking Loss Amount:
 
   
 
  (L1 — L2) x (D / 360) x Net Re-Striking Loss Amount
 
   
 
  Where: —
 
   
 
  "L1” equals the current Floating Rate (excluding the Floating Rate Spread) for the period ending on the next succeeding Floating Rate Period End Date as set on the immediately previous Reset Date.
 
   
 
  "L2” equals USD-LIBOR-BBA minus 0.15%, with a Designated Maturity equal to “D” (as defined below) with the Reset Date being the current LIBOR Breakage Payment Date; provided, however, that if such Designated Maturity shall be one week or less, one-week USD-LIBOR-BBA shall be used. If such Designated Maturity is longer than one week and there is no USD-LIBOR-BBA published with such a Designated Maturity, Linear Interpolation of the next shorter and next longer published Designated Maturities of USD-LIBOR-BBA shall be used.
 
   
 
  "D” equals the actual number of days remaining in the Calculation Period from, and including, the current LIBOR Breakage Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Floating Rate Period End Date.

  If the Facility Exposure is a positive number, then such amount shall be deemed to be a positive Settlement Amount for the purposes of determining GSI’s Exposure in respect of the Transactions and a negative Settlement Amount for the purposes of determining Counterparty’s Exposure in respect of the Transactions.

32



     
 
   
 
  If the Facility Exposure is a negative number, then such amount shall be deemed to be a negative Settlement Amount for purposes of determining GSI’s Exposure in respect of the Transactions and positive Settlement Amount for the purposes of determining Counterparty’s Exposure in respect of the Transactions; provided, however, that in the event that the Facility Exposure is a negative amount which exceeds the Available Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not apply and the Available Maximum Aggregate Notional Amount shall be deemed to be a negative Settlement Amount for purposes of determining GSI’s Exposure in respect of all of the Reference Obligations in the Portfolio and positive Settlement Amount for the purposes of determining Counterparty’s Exposure in respect of all of the Reference Obligations in the Portfolio.

     shall be retained by GSI and credited to the Additional Collateralization Amount (each such amount a “Retained Credit Support Amount”), and any corresponding Delivery Amount or Return Amount applicable to GSI shall be reduced accordingly;
 
   
 
 
     (ii) on any date during the Retained Cash Flow Period any Interest Amount otherwise payable under Paragraph 6(d)(ii) of the Credit Support Annex shall be retained by GSI and credited to the Additional Collateralization Amount (any such amount a “Retained CSA Interest Amount”); and
 
   
 
 
      (iii) on any date on which the aggregate of the RO Haircut Amounts does not exceed the Minimum Transfer Amount applicable to Delivery Amounts by Counterparty under the Credit Support Annex, the Minimum Transfer Amount applicable to Delivery Amounts by Counterparty shall be zero.
 
   
 
  For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the provisions in this Confirmation providing for

33



     
 
   
 
  GSI to retain and credit certain amounts to the Additional Collateralization Amount are in addition to and without limitation of GSI’s right to retain and apply any net payments owed to Counterparty under the Master Agreement or this Facility on any date to any Delivery Amount actually applicable to Counterparty under the Credit Support Annex on such date and (ii) the Transfer of Eligible Credit Support arising from any one or more credits to the Additional Collateralization Amount on any date is in addition to and not in limitation of any Delivery Amount applicable to Counterparty under the Credit Support Annex on the same date by virtue of the calculation of Exposure prior to such Transfer.
 
   
 
  In the event that GSI receives written notice from Counterparty that Counterparty, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, disputes the Current Price as determined above (a “Dispute Notice”), (i) the Current Price on the relevant date shall be the Current Price determined by the Calculation Agent; and (ii) Counterparty shall be entitled to obtain an Independent Price on the Business Day following the date on which Counterparty satisfies its obligation to Transfer Eligible Credit Support pursuant to Paragraph 3(a) of the Credit Support Annex.
 
   
 
  If Counterparty obtains an Independent Price on the Business Day following the date on which it satisfies its obligation pursuant to Paragraph 3(a) of the Credit Support Annex, the Current Price on such Business Day shall be the Independent Price so obtained, provided, however, that if GSI reasonably believes, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, that such Independent Price does not reflect the market value of the RO, GSI shall notify Counterparty and (i) the Current Price on the relevant date shall be the Current Price determined by the Calculation Agent; and (ii) Counterparty shall on the next Business Day obtain a firm bid for the Notional Amount from at least one Independent Dealer (an “Independent Bid”) and the Current Price on such Business Day shall be such Independent Bid (subject to any Bid Disqualification Condition).
 
   
 
  If Counterparty does not obtain an Independent Price on the next Business Day following a Dispute Notice, or does not obtain an Independent Bid on request by GSI, the Current Price on such Business Day shall be the market bid price of the RO as determined by Calculation Agent as of the date of such calculation.
 
   
Exposure if Facility Amendment Date Fails to Occur
  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Facility Amendment Date does not occur pursuant to the “Conditions to Facility Amendment Date Effectiveness” set forth above, Exposure will be calculated pursuant to the terms of the Original Facility, such that any amounts credited to the Additional Collateralization Amount under (ii) through (viii) of the definition thereof will no longer be included in the Exposure of GSI to Counterparty for purposes of the Credit Support Annex.
 
   
Independent Price
  The Independent Price shall be on any date of determination the average of the market bid prices, including accrued interest, relating to a principal amount of the Reference Obligation equal to the Notional Amount (the “Quote Size”) provided by at least two Independent Dealers nominated by Counterparty; provided that if at least two bids are not available, then only one bid may be used, and if no bids are available, then the Current Price on such Business Day shall be the market bid price of the RO as determined by Calculation Agent as of the date of such calculation.

34



     
 
  Independent Dealers” means Bank of America, Bank of New York, Barclays Capital, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, the lead arrangers or underwriters in respect of the RO, any Affiliate or successor of any of the foregoing and any other unaffiliated third party designated by Counterparty and agreed to by GSI.
 
   
Designation of Target Exposure Date
  Upon the reasonable request of Counterparty from time to time, GSI shall include in any valuation or exposure statement in relation to the Facility that GSI may otherwise provide to Counterparty a calculation of the Additional Collateralization Amount. If on the basis of receipt of such calculations or otherwise Counterparty concludes in good faith that the Net Target Advance Rate Exposure is zero or less, Counterparty may by written notice to GSI request GSI to designate the Target Exposure Date (a “Target Exposure Date Request”). Within two Business Days of receiving such Target Exposure Date Request from Counterparty, GSI shall by written notice to Counterparty, (i) advise Counterparty of GSI’s determination as to whether the Net Target Advance Rate Exposure is zero or less on the date of such notice and (ii) if GSI has advised that the Net Target Advance Rate Exposure is zero or less, the second Business Day following such notice shall be the Target Exposure Date. If after receiving a Target Exposure Date Request from Counterparty, GSI advises Counterparty that GSI has determined that the Net Target Advance Rate Exposure is greater than zero, and Counterparty delivers GSI a notice disputing such determination, Counterparty and GSI shall consult with each other in good faith to resolve such dispute. Other than in accordance with these procedures, GSI shall not be responsible for ensuring that the Target Exposure Date has been designated when the Net Target Advance Rate Exposure is zero or less.
 
   
Payments on Early
Termination
  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Master Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Date in respect of any Transaction hereunder or under the Facility, then the Loss of the parties in respect of each Transaction shall be determined for such Transaction as equal to the Market Related Amount in relation thereto; where if the Market Related Amount is a negative number, then such amount shall be deemed to be a positive Loss of Counterparty and a negative Loss of GSI in respect of the relevant Transaction and if the Market Related Amount is a positive number, then such amount shall be deemed to be a negative Loss of Counterparty and a positive Loss of GSI in respect of the relevant Transaction; provided, however, that for purposes of determination of Loss (i) the reference in the definition of Market Related Amount to “Current Price” shall be deemed to be a reference to “Final Price,” (ii) the second Business Day following the Early Termination Date shall be treated as the Termination Payment Date solely for purposes of the definition of “Final Price” and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth under “Collateral” (other than the definitions of Market Related Amount and Accrued Floating Amount) shall not apply.
 
   
 
  In addition to the payments set out above, so long as GSI is not the Defaulting Party or the sole Affected Party, upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Date in respect of any Transaction hereunder or under the Facility, an amount equal to the Unpaid Fee Notional Amount as of such Early Termination Date

35



     
 
  shall be deemed to be an additional positive Loss of GSI payable to GSI on such Early Termination Date. The parties agree that the Unpaid Fee Notional Amount represents a reasonable pre-estimate of GSI’s loss resulting from the occurrence of an Early Termination Date in respect of any Transaction hereunder or under the Facility and not a penalty.
 
   
 
  Accrued Facility Fee” shall mean, as of any date of determination, any accrued but unpaid Facility Fee as at that date.
 
   
 
  Unpaid Fee Notional Amount” means in relation to any Early Termination Date the aggregate of (i) the Accrued Facility Fee, (ii) the Present Value Facility Fee and (iii) any unpaid Termination Fee as of such Early Termination Date.
 
   
 
  Present Value Facility Fee” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the present value (as determined by the Calculation Agent) of the Facility Fee which would accrue from (and including) that date to (and including) the date falling 20 years after the Facility Commencement Date, assuming no Optional Termination Date were to occur and discounting each scheduled Facility Fee amount from the relevant scheduled Facility Fee Payment Date based on the value of “USD-ISDA-Swap Rate” for a maturity equal to the period of time from the date of determination to such scheduled Facility Fee Payment Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
 
   
RO Conversion
  If the RO or any portion thereof is irreversibly converted or exchanged into or for any securities, obligations or other assets or property (“Exchange Consideration”), or any payment on the RO is paid in the form of any Exchange Consideration that is not cash, thereafter such Exchange Consideration will constitute the RO or portion thereof and the Calculation Agent shall in good faith adjust the terms of the related Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to preserve the theoretical value of such Transaction to the parties immediately prior to such exchange or, if such exchange results in a change in value, the proportionate post-exchange value, and determine the effective date of such adjustments; provided, however, that if the Calculation Agent shall determine in good faith that it is not possible to make such revisions, a Removal Date shall be deemed to occur in relation to such RO and the Transaction related to such RO shall be terminated.
 
   
Indemnity Letter
Cross Default
  For the avoidance of doubt, any failure of the Counterparty or any other party having obligations under an Indemnity Letter (other than GSI) to comply with its obligations thereunder shall constitute a Potential Event of Default and, if not cured within the time period specified in the Schedule, an Event of Default, under Section 5(a)(ii) of the Master Agreement, with Counterparty as the Defaulting Party.
 
   
TRS Conflicting
Indebtedness
  It shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(ii) of the Master Agreement, with Counterparty as the Defaulting Party, and without provision for cure, if the documentation in relation to the Series A Notes contemplated by the Exchange Offer and Plan of Reorganization or any other secured indebtedness of Counterparty or any Credit Support Provider from time to time (“Other Secured Indebtedness”) contains any representation, warranty, affirmative or

36



     
 
  negative covenant obligation or event of default (in each case including, without limitation, relating to restrictions on liens or indebtedness) applicable to Counterparty or any Credit Support Provider that both (i) would be violated or breached by the incurrence of or performance by Counterparty or any Credit Support Provider of its obligations under the Master Agreement or this Facility or would conflict with the liens granted to GSI hereunder but for a TRS Lien Exception and (ii) fails to provide for a TRS Lien Exception (such Other Secured Indebtedness in such circumstance, “TRS Conflicting Indebtedness”).
 
   
Amended and Restated Guaranty Provisions
  On or after the Facility Amendment Date, any references in the Master Agreement or herein to the Credit Support Document provided by CIT Group Inc. shall refer to the Amended and Restated Guaranty dated as of the Facility Amendment Date (the “Amended CIT Group Guaranty”).
 
   
 
  Any failure by CIT Group Inc. to comply with the provisions of the second subparagraph of Paragraph 10 of the Amended CIT Group Guaranty shall be deemed to constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(viii) (Merger Without Assumption) of the Master Agreement.
 
   
Rating Agency Reports
  With respect to each Counterparty Originated Asset, the servicer that is a party to the Indemnity Letter has agreed under the Indemnity Letter (and with respect to each other RO, Counterparty agrees) (a) to be responsible for and shall pay or arrange for payment of the annual fees of Moody’s and S&P and other costs of maintaining the rating of each RO as a monitored rating during the term of the Facility and (b) to deliver to GSI promptly from time to time any S&P, Moody’s and Fitch reports regarding any ROs that are available to holders of the RO or to Counterparty or its Affiliates in any capacity as originator, servicer, administrator, manager or otherwise in connection with any Reference Entity or RO (“Rating Agency Reports”).

37



     
Special Reference
Obligation
Termination Events
  In the event that

(i) any of Counterparty or its Affiliates or the Reference Entity fails to comply with any of the covenants or operating procedures assumed or specified to be performed by such parties in a True Sale and Nonconsolidation Opinion as a premise for such opinion, and such failure is not cured within the cure period applicable to a Potential Event of Default under Section 5(a)(ii) of the Schedule;
 
   
 
  (ii) a change in law (including application or interpretation of existing law) results in a True Sale and Nonconsolidation Opinion becoming invalid under current law as reasonably demonstrated by GSI, and an updated True Sale and Nonconsolidation Opinion taking account of such change in law and otherwise satisfactory to GSI is not delivered to GSI within 30 days of GSI’s request therefor;
 
   
 
  (iii) a change in law (including application or interpretation of law) would render a Transaction under this Facility no longer to be subject to termination, netting and closeout without restriction from any automatic stay or similar restriction in an insolvency proceeding under Canadian or U.S. law, as reasonably demonstrated by GSI;
 
   
 
  (iv) the rating of the RO ceases to be a monitored rating subject to periodic update by the relevant agency;
 
   
 
  (v) payments of interest in relation to the RO become subject to withholding tax under applicable law (unless fully compensated under a customary gross-up provision); or
 
   
 
  (vi) a Qualifying [*]-Rated RO ceases to satisfy clause (ii) of the definition thereof, unless such RO would be eligible to be included in one of the categories identified in clause (xv) a., b. or d. of the definition of Eligible RO and adding such RO to such category would not cause the Portfolio to violate any of the limits set forth in such clause (xv) a., b. or d.;
 
   
 
  then GSI may designate a Removal Date in respect of the relevant RO or Transaction.
 
   
Governing Law

14. Additional Acknowledgement and Agreements:
(a) Counterparty hereby represents to and acknowledges and agrees with GSI that:
(i) (w) without limitation of Section 9.1 of the Credit Derivatives Definitions, neither GSI nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to hedge the Transaction or to own or hold the Reference Obligation or any securities of the Reference Entity or its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, as a result of any Transaction, and GSI and its Affiliates may establish, maintain, modify, terminate or re-establish any hedge position or any methodology for hedging at any time without regard to Counterparty;
     (x) Counterparty is not relying on any representation, warranty or statement by GSI or any of its Affiliates as to whether, at what times, in what manner or by what method GSI or any of its Affiliates may engage in any hedging activities;
     (y) if GSI does hedge the Transaction or GSI or any hedge counterparty does own or hold the Reference Obligation, directly or indirectly, as a result of any Transaction, GSI and its Affiliates and any such hedge counterparty may act with respect to such Reference Obligation and any other securities of the Reference Entity or its Affiliates in the same manner as if the Transaction did not exist and may originate, purchase, sell, hold or trade, and may exercise or fail to exercise voting, consensual, amendment or remedial rights in respect of the Reference Obligations or other obligations, securities or financial instruments of, issued by or linked to the Reference Entity or its Affiliates in their sole and absolute discretion, regardless of whether any such action

39



might have an adverse effect on the Reference Entity, the value of the Reference Obligation or the position of the Counterparty to this Transaction or otherwise; and
     (z) it has consulted with its own tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own decisions regarding entering into this Facility and each Transaction based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by GSI or any of its Affiliates or agents.
(ii) The Facility comprises a series of derivative Transactions and no such Transaction is intended by the parties to be a loan, nor is GSI required to provide a bid at any time in relation to any RO;
(iii) The fair value of the assets of the Counterparty will exceed the debt and liabilities, subordinated, contingent and otherwise of the Counterparty and Counterparty will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.
(b) each party acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) (A) the Master Agreement and each Transaction entered into under this Confirmation is a “swap agreement” and/or a “securities contract” within the meaning given to such term under Section 101(53B) of the United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”); (B) it is a “swap participant” within the meaning given to such term under Section 101(53C) of the Bankruptcy Code and (C) all Transactions entered into hereunder will constitute “eligible financial contracts” for purposes of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) and the Winding Up and Restructuring Act (Canada);
(ii) Unless identified as an underwriter or arranger in an offering document relating to an RO, GSI and its Affiliates have played no role in structuring or arranging for the issuance of any RO or in negotiating or establishing the terms of such RO. Whether or not GSI or its Affiliates are identified as an underwriter or arranger in an offering document relating to an RO, any and all information that may be provided by GSI to Counterparty hereunder with respect to any RO is not being furnished by GSI in the capacity of an underwriter or dealer of the RO in connection with this Transaction and GSI accepts no responsibility or liability therefor.
(iii) The contents of this Confirmation and the other agreements relating to the Facility are confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party, and neither party shall make any public announcement relating to this Facility without consent of the other party; except that disclosure of this Confirmation and the terms of the Facility is permitted (A) where required or appropriate in response to any summons, subpoena, or otherwise in connection with any litigation or regulatory inquiry or to comply with any applicable law, order, regulation, ruling, or disclosure requirement, including without limitation, any requirement of any regulatory body or stock exchange where the shares of such disclosing party are listed, as determined by the disclosing party in good faith following consultation with the other party hereto, (B) to officers, directors, employees, attorneys and advisors of the parties or their affiliates who are subject to a duty of confidentiality to the disclosing party or such affiliate, (C) to rating agencies and (D) where the information has otherwise become public (other than as a result of a breach of this subparagraph (b)(iii)). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Confirmation or any other document, GSI and Counterparty (and each employee, representative, or other agent of GSI or Counterparty) may each disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure (as those terms are used in Treasury Regulations under Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws. Without limitation of (iii)(A) above, Counterparty agrees (A) to arrange for CIT Group Inc. promptly to make disclosure of the terms of this Confirmation and the Facility in a filing on Form 8-K pursuant to the reporting provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

40



Exchange Act”) and as otherwise required under the provisions of the Exchange Act, (B) to afford GSI a reasonable opportunity to review the form of such disclosure in advance, consistent with the performance by CIT Group Inc. of its obligations referred to in (A), and (C) to cooperate in good faith with any reasonable request by GSI to seek confidential treatment from the Securities and Exchange Commission for specific provisions of this Confirmation, provided however, GSI shall pay all reasonable fees (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with such request.
(iv) as of the Effective Date and so long as either party has or may have any obligation under any Transaction, it is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e) of the Code), subject to Section 4975 of the Code or an entity whose underlying assets include the assets of any such plan by reason of 29 CFR 2510.3-101, Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise.
(c) CIT Barbados shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Facility specifying payment obligations to CIT Barbados, provided that such payment obligations shall be subject to reduction and setoff on any date in respect of amounts due and unpaid by Counterparty hereunder.
(d) The parties agree to amend the definition of “Indemnifiable Tax” by adding the following to the end of the definition:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Tax imposed by reason of a payment deemed made or received between Counterparty and an affiliate thereof, or between affiliates of Counterparty, by reason of this Facility or a Transaction hereunder, and related transactions, shall be treated as (i) an Indemnifiable Tax on a payment under this Agreement in the case of payments made by Counterparty or its affiliates to GSI and (ii) a Tax on a payment under this Agreement which is not an Indemnifiable Tax in the case of payments made by GSI to Counterparty or its affiliates.”

          (a) upon request by the First Lien Agent or 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 First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents;

          (b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and guaranties for the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.3, shall be in all

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

18



any other commercially reasonable exercise by the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the First 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 to the extent that such Proceeds are not applied to the First Lien Obligations, subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2; and

               (3) subject to their rights under clause (a)(1) above, will not contest, protest or object to the forbearance by the First Lien Agent or the First 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 to the extent that such Proceeds are not applied to the First Lien Obligations, subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.

          (b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced, subject to Section 3.1(a)(1), the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive 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 without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Agents or any Second Lien Claimholder; provided, that the Lien securing the Second Lien Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds of any such Collateral released or disposed of to the extent that such Proceeds are not applied to the First Lien Obligations, subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2 and the applicable release provisions of the Second Lien Documents.

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.

               (6) vote on any plan of reorganization, make filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in a manner not inconsistent with the vote of the First Lien Agent or the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral; and

               (7) exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after the termination of the Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(1).

     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, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except in connection with any Enforcement Action expressly permitted by Section 3.1(a)(1) 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a), 6.4(b) and this Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Documents and applicable law.

               (1) each Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that such Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the First Lien Documents or is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

               (2) each Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the

20



Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted in any of the First Lien Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Second Lien Claimholders; and

               (3) each Second Lien Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction as expressly provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents or any other Second Lien Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Documents.

          (e) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d) and in all cases subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, each Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders 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; provided that in no event may any Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholder file any involuntary petition for bankruptcy against CIT or any other Obligor; and provided, further, that any lawsuit filed to collect any Second Lien Obligations shall only seek a money judgment and shall not seek to enforce or impose any lien on any Collateral and if, notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 (including in relation to the First Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

     3.2. Actions Upon Breach. If any Second Lien Claimholder, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or threatens to take any Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral, or fails to take any action required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall create an irrebutable presumption and admission by such Second Lien Claimholder that relief against such Second Lien Claimholder by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the First Lien Claimholders, it being understood and agreed by each Second Lien Agent on behalf of each applicable Second Lien Claimholder that (i) the First Lien Claimholders’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Second Lien Claimholder waives any defense that the Obligors and/or the First Lien Claimholders cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages.

The First Lien Agent (acting at the direction of the First Lien Credit Facility Representative) and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure for the account of any Issuer any default by such Issuer or other Obligor under any Second Lien Documents at any time prior to the expiry of the Standstill Period provided in Section 3.1 or during the applicable cure period provided for in any Second Lien Document if longer (and if a payment default on an unaccelerated basis). In no event shall First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders by virtue of the payments of amounts, or performance of any obligation required to be paid or performed by such Issuer or such other Obligor deemed to have assumed any obligation of such Issuer or Obligor to any Second Lien Claimholders or any other Person.

     3.4. Notice of Default. Each Second Lien Agent and each Second Lien Claimholder shall give to First Lien Agent on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders concurrently with the giving thereof to any Issuer or any other Obligor a copy of any written notice of any default under any Second Lien Documents or written notice of demand of payment from any Issuer. Promptly upon receipt thereof, CIT shall give each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, a copy of any written notice received and delivered by any First Lien Borrower or any other Obligor sent by or to the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders at any time during the existence of an Event of Default under the First Lien Documents, stating the First Lien Agent and any First Lien Claimholders’ 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. Each Second Lien Agent and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders shall give the First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, and concurrently with the giving thereof to any Issuer or any other Obligor any written notice sent by such Second Lien Agent or the applicable Second Lien Claimholders to any Issuer or any other Obligor 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 First Lien Borrower, any Issuer or any other Obligor. Each First Lien Borrower, each Issuer and each other Obligor, as applicable, hereby authorizes and consents to the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders sending any such notices.

     SECTION 4. Payments.

     4.1. Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced following the date of this Agreement, Collateral or Proceeds thereof

22



received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies by the First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders shall be applied by the First Lien Agent to payment of the First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First Lien Documents. Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent shall deliver to the Series A Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Agents, without recourse, representation or warranty any Collateral and Proceeds of Collateral held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements to be applied by the Second Lien Agents to the Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the Junior Intercreditor Agreement (or such other applicable Second Lien Document) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

     4.2. Payment Turnover. (a) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced, any Collateral or Proceeds thereof (including assets or Proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3(b)) 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 First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for any Second Lien Agent or any such Second Lien Claimholders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred.

          (b) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, 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, other than distributions expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, such money or other property shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First 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.

          (c) In the event CIT or any other Obligor shall receive any distribution of money that is required to be applied to the First Lien Obligations prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such money shall be applied to the payment in full of the First Lien Obligations on a pro rata basis as specified in the First Lien Documents prior to its application, if any, to the payment of the Second Lien Obligations.

     4.3. Payment Subordination.

          (a) Unless the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred, upon any payment or distribution of the assets of any Obligor and not in

23



derogation or limitation of the lien subordination provided for elsewhere in this agreement (i) upon a total or partial liquidation or dissolution of any Obligor, (ii) in an Insolvency Proceeding; (iii) in an assignment for the benefit of creditors of any Obligor; or (iv) in any marshaling of any Obligor’s assets and liabilities, the First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive such payments and distributions before the Junior Claimholders shall be entitled to receive any payment or distribution in respect of the Junior Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, all of the Junior Claimholders’ rights to payment of the Junior Obligations and the obligations evidenced by the Junior Documents are hereby subordinated to all of the First Lien Claimholders’ rights to payment by the Obligors of the First Lien Obligations, and Junior Claimholders shall not accept or receive payments (including, without limitation, whether in cash or other property and whether received directly, indirectly or by set off, counterclaim or otherwise) from any Obligor or from the sale or other disposition of any Collateral prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations. All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Junior Obligations which are received by Junior Claimholders, or any of them, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received and held in trust by the Junior Claimholders for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders and shall be paid over to the First Lien Claimholders in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non cash property or securities) for, the payment or performance of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Documents. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Junior Claimholders from making protective advances to protect the Collateral (and adding the amount thereof to the principal balance of the Junior Obligations) notwithstanding the existence of a default under the First Lien Obligations, or either of them, at such time.

          (b) Except as specifically permitted by Sections 3.1(a) and (c) and subject to the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3(d), the Junior Claimholders shall not ask for, demand, sue for, take or receive from the Obligors, by setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or in any other manner, the whole or any part of any of the Junior Obligations, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred.

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.3(a), 4.3(b) and Section 6, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.3(c), the Obligors may pay, and the Junior Claimholders may receive and retain Permitted Scheduled Payments, unless prior to any such Permitted Scheduled Payment (i) a First Lien Payment Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) a First Lien Non-Payment Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of this clause (ii), the First Lien Credit Facility Representative has given to Obligors and the Series A Collateral Agent and the Series B Collateral Agent written notice thereof identifying the First Lien Non-Payment Default and invoking a payment blockage under this Agreement (such notice, a “Payment Blockage Notice”; any such period during which payments are blocked as described in this Section 4.3(c), a “Payment Blockage Period”), in either of which case no direct or indirect payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by the Obligors or any other Person on behalf of the Obligors (or received by the Junior Claimholders) on account of the Junior Obligations or any judgment related thereto, or on account of the

24



purchase or redemption or other acquisition of the Junior Obligations, unless and until the date such First Lien Payment Default or First Lien Non-Payment Default shall have been cured or waived in writing in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Documents. Immediately upon the expiration of any Payment Blockage Period as described in this Section 4.3(c), the Obligors may resume making (and the Junior Claimholders may receive and retain) any and all Permitted Scheduled Payments (including any Permitted Scheduled Payments missed during such period).

          (d) In the event that the Junior Claimholders shall have received any payment or distribution at a time when such payment or distribution was prohibited by the provisions of Section 4.3(a), (b), (c) or (d) hereof, then, and in such event, such payment or distribution shall be deemed to have been paid to the Junior Claimholders in trust for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders, and shall be segregated and promptly paid over to the First Lien Agent on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders (with proper endorsements or assignments, if necessary) to the extent necessary to pay the First Lien Obligations. Any such payments or distributions so paid over to the First Lien Claimholders by the holders of the Junior Obligations in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall not constitute payments in respect of the Junior Obligations and will not reduce the outstanding amount of the Junior Obligations. To the extent there are any excess amounts paid over to the First Lien Claimholders after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such excess amounts shall be promptly remitted to the Series A Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Junior Claimholders, in the form received (with any necessary endorsements), without recourse, representation or warranty, which amounts shall constitute payments in respect of the Junior Obligations and will so reduce the outstanding amount of the Junior Obligations, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided, that, to the extent of the amount of any such remittance received by it, each Junior Claimholder hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders from any and all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses suffered by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders in connection with the making of any such remittance to the Junior Claimholders, but only to the extent of such Junior Claimholder’s pro rata share of such remittance received by the Junior Claimholders.

          (e) The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall not modify or limit in any way the application of Section 6 hereof.

          (f) The First Lien Agent agrees to give prompt written notice to the Obligors, the Series A Collateral Agent and the Series B Collateral Agent of any determination by the First Lien Agent that a First Lien Payment Default or First Lien Non-Payment Default that gave rise to a Payment Blockage Period has been cured or waived, though the failure to give such notice promptly or otherwise shall not affect the subordination effected by the terms of this Agreement or otherwise result in any liability of the First Lien Claimholders to the Obligors or the Junior Claimholders.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Defeasance Trust Payments shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any First Lien Obligations or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.3, and none of the

25



Junior Claimholders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to any Obligor or any Senior Claimholder.

     SECTION 5. Other Agreements.

     5.1. Releases. (a) If in connection with any Enforcement Action by the First Lien Agent, the First Lien Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral or releases CIT or any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of each Second Lien Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of CIT or such Subsidiary Guarantor under its guaranties of the Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. Each Second Lien Agent is authorized and directed by the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, for itself or on behalf of such Second Lien Claimholders, to promptly execute and deliver to the First Lien Agent or CIT or such Subsidiary Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First 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) If in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by any Grantor (collectively, a “Disposition”) other than in connection with an Enforcement Action (which shall be governed by Section 5.1(a) above), any other Disposition permitted under the terms of the First Lien Documents or consented to by the applicable First Lien Claimholders pursuant to the First Lien Documents, or any other release of the Lien of the First Lien Agent in any Collateral, the First Lien Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or releases CIT or any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, in each case other than in connection with the Discharge of First Lien Obligations or a Refinancing of the First Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of each Second Lien Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of CIT or such Subsidiary Guarantor under its guaranty of the Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. In addition, other than in connection with a refinancing in full or prepayment in full of the First Lien Obligations, in the event that any Second Lien Grantor or Second Lien Guarantor is released from its pledge or guaranty obligations with respect to the First Lien Obligations, such Second Lien Grantor or Second Lien Guarantor will be automatically released from its pledge or guaranty obligations with respect to the Second Lien Obligations. Each Second Lien Agent, for itself or on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Agent, CIT or such Subsidiary Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Agent or such Obligor 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).

26



          (c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, each Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien Agent and any officer or agent of the First Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Second Lien Agent or such holder or in the First Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Agent’s discretion, for the limited purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

          (d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the extent that the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral or CIT or any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligation under its guaranty and any such Liens or guaranty are later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new liens or additional guaranties from CIT or any Subsidiary Guarantor, then each Second Lien Agent, for itself and for the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, shall be granted a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the lien subordination provisions of this Agreement, and an additional guaranty, as the case may be.

          (e) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the extent that the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders subordinate any of their Liens on any part of the Collateral or subordinate CIT or any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of each Second Lien Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of CIT or such Subsidiary Guarantor under its guaranties of the Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously subordinated with the relative priorities described in Section 2.

     5.2. Insurance. To the extent required under the First Lien Documents or the Second Lien Documents, as applicable, the First Lien Agent and each Second Lien Agent shall be named as additional insureds and the First Lien Agent shall be named as loss payee (on behalf of the First Lien Agent, the First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders) under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Grantor, to the extent provided under the First Lien Documents or, following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Documents. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall (to the extent provided under the First Lien Documents) have the sole and exclusive right, to the extent provided under the First Lien Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and to the extent provided under the First Lien Documents, all Proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien

27



Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents and thereafter, to the extent no First Lien Obligations are outstanding, and to the extent provided under the Second Lien Documents, to the Second Lien Agents 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 First 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 First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.

     5.3. Amendments to First Lien Documents and Second Lien Documents. (a) The First Lien Documents, other than this Agreement, may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the First Lien Credit Agreement may be Refinanced, in each case without the consent of any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder; provided, however, that any New First Lien Agent shall comply with Section 5.5, and any such amendment, amendment and restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing shall not, without the consent of the Second Lien Agents:

               (1) provide for a principal amount of, without duplication, letters of credit, loans, bonds, debentures, notes or similar Indebtedness in the aggregate in excess of the Maximum First Lien Indebtedness Amount plus capitalized interest accrued thereunder;

               (2) increase the interest rate or yield provisions applicable to the First Lien Obligations by more than 3.0% per annum in the aggregate (on a weighted average basis across the facilities thereunder) (excluding increases (A) resulting from increases in the underlying reference rate not caused by any amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing of the First Lien Credit Agreement or (B) resulting from the accrual of interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement as of the date hereof)) unless the interest rate or yield provisions applicable to the Second Lien Obligations shall concurrently be increased in the aggregate (on a weighted average basis across the facilities thereunder) to the extent by which the interest rate or yield provisions applicable to the First Lien Obligations are increased in the aggregate (on a weighted average basis across the facilities thereunder) in excess of 3.0% per annum; provided that the interest rate or yield provisions applicable to the First Lien Obligations may be amended to a fixed rate pursuant to an amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing of the First Lien Credit Agreement so long as such fixed rate does not exceed a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the floating rate applicable to the First Lien Obligations (on a weighted average basis across the facilities thereunder) immediately prior to the effectiveness of such amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing and (ii) the difference equal to (x) 3.0% per annum minus (y) the aggregate percentage of any increases in the rate or yield provisions applicable to

28



the First Lien Obligations (on a weighted average basis across the facilities thereunder) (excluding increases (A) resulting from increases in the underlying reference rate not caused by any amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing of the First Lien Credit Agreement or (B) resulting from the accrual of interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement as of the date hereof)) effected since the date hereof; or

               (3) shorten the scheduled weighted average maturity of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any Refinancing thereof.

          (b) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent, no Second Lien Document may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into, in a manner that (i) shortens or accelerates the date or increases the amount of any required repayment, prepayment or redemption of the principal of any Indebtedness under any Primary Second Lien Document, (ii) increases the rate or shortens or accelerates the date for payment of the interest, premium (if any) or fees payable on any Second Lien Obligations or (iii) makes the covenants, events of default or remedies relating to any Second Lien Obligations more restrictive on any Obligor unless, in the case of covenants or remedies in the Second Lien Collateral Documents, effected in accordance with Section 5.3(e) hereof.

          (c) Each Obligor agrees that each Primary Second Lien Document (other than the Support Agreements) and each other Second Lien Document that is an intercreditor agreement or evidences Indebtedness shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment obligations hereunder are subject to the provisions of: (i) the Senior Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Intercreditor Agreement”), among, inter alia, Bank of America, N.A., as first lien agent (together with its successors and assigns), [Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as agent for certain second lien claimholders (together with its successors and assigns, the “Series [A/B] Agent”)], [Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, agent for certain other second lien claimholders (together with its successor and assigns, the “Series [B/A] Agent”)], CIT Group Funding Company of Delaware LLC, and CIT Group Inc. and certain subsidiaries of CIT Group Inc. from time to time a party thereto (the “CIT Entities”); and (ii) the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Junior Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Series A Agent, the Series B Agent, CIT Group Funding Company of Delaware LLC and the CIT Entities. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Senior Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Senior Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control; and in the event

29



of any conflict between the terms of the Junior Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Junior Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

          (d) Each Obligor and the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Second Lien Claimholder, agrees that each Second Lien Collateral Document pursuant to which a Lien is granted to secure the Second Lien Obligations or control is granted to perfect such Lien or that is an intercreditor agreement or collateral agency agreement shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity as collateral agent (in such capacity and together with its successor and assigns, the “Second Lien Collateral Agent”), pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of: (i) the Senior Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Intercreditor Agreement”), among, inter alia, Bank of America, N.A., as first lien agent (together with its successors and assigns), the Second Lien Collateral Agent, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as agent for certain other second lien claimholders (together with its successor and assigns), CIT Group Funding Company of Delaware LLC, and CIT Group Inc. and certain subsidiaries of CIT Group Inc. from time to time a party thereto (the “CIT Entities”); and (ii) the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Junior Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Second Lien Collateral Agent, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as agent for certain other second lien claimholders (together with its successors and assigns), CIT Group Funding Company of Delaware LLC and the CIT Entities. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Senior Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Senior Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control; and in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Junior Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Junior Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

In addition, each Obligor and the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder, agrees that each Second Lien Mortgage covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Second Lien Mortgage to the First Lien Collateral Document covering such Collateral.

30



          (e) In the event any First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Agent, such First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Borrowers or the Issuers, as applicable, or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Second Lien Agents or the Second Lien Claimholders and without any action by the Second Lien Agents, the First Lien Borrowers, the Issuers or any other Grantor, provided, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of:

               (1) removing or releasing assets subject to the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 5.1 and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations;

               (2) imposing duties on any Second Lien Agent without its consent; or

               (3) permitting other Liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second Lien Documents or Section 6 hereof.

The First Lien Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to the Second Lien Agents within ten Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent; provided that failure to timely deliver such notice shall not affect the automatic amendment, waiver or consent of such comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Collateral Document.

          (f) To the extent, and only to the extent, permitted by the First Lien Documents, the Second Lien Documents (including the Junior Intercreditor Agreement) and this Agreement, 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”) shall be subordinated in right of payment to the First Lien Obligations to the same extent as the Second Lien Obligations and 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 Junior Intercreditor Agreement, each in accordance with its terms. This Agreement may be amended from time to time pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements without the consent of the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Claimholders to add the Authorized Representatives of any applicable Additional Second Lien Debt.

31



     5.4. Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. (a) The First Lien 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 collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders and as gratuitous bailee for each Second Lien Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 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 First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. Solely with respect to any deposit accounts under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the First Lien Agent, the First Lien Agent agrees to also hold control over such deposit accounts as gratuitous agent for each Second Lien Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. If, prior to the Discharge of First 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 First Lien Agent, such Obligor shall be deemed to be in compliance with the applicable requirement under such Second Lien Document.

          (b) The First Lien Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien Claimholders, 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 First Lien Collateral Documents or 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 First Lien Agent under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral delivered to it as bailee (and with respect to deposit accounts, agent) in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below and the First Lien Agent shall have no obligation to follow or act upon any instructions or directions received from the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder.

          (c) The First Lien Agent shall not have by reason of the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the First Lien Claimholders, any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder and each Second Lien Agent and each Second Lien Claimholder hereby waives and releases the First Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First Lien Agent’s role under this Section 5.4 as gratuitous bailee and gratuitous agent with respect to the Pledged Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the interests of the First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agents may differ and the First Lien Agent shall be fully entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Documents as if the Liens of any Second Lien Agent under the Second Lien Collateral Documents did not exist.

          (d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Documents to which the First Lien Agent is a party, the First Lien Agent shall deliver without recourse, representation or warranty the remaining Pledged Collateral in

32



its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (such endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), first, to any Second Lien Agent to the extent Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the First Lien Borrowers to the extent no First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). The First Lien Agent shall be entitled to rely upon information provided by any Second Lien Agent. The First Lien Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by any Second Lien Agent at the expense of the Second Lien Agents or the First Lien Borrowers in connection with any Second Lien Agent obtaining a first priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

     5.5. When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New First Lien Debt Notice”) stating that the First Lien Borrowers (or any of them) have entered into a new First Lien Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new senior collateral agent, such agent, the “New First Lien Agent”) that Refinances some or all of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any new First Lien Document, the Second Lien Agents shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the applicable First Lien Borrowers or such New First Lien Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New First Lien Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement. The New First Lien Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First Lien Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the applicable Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents and this Agreement.

     SECTION 6. Insolvency Proceedings.

     6.1. Use of Cash Collateral and Financing Issues. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the First Lien Borrowers or any other Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding commencing after the date of this Agreement and the First Lien Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the First Lien Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit any First Lien Borrower or any other Obligor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will (a) raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, each Second Lien Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to (x) the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), (y) any adequate protection provided to the First Lien

33



Agent or the First Lien Claimholders or (z) any “carve-out” agreed by the First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders) and (b) not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the First Lien Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.4); provided that the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of First Lien Obligations outstanding at such time (after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of any DIP Financing to refinance all or any portion of the First Lien Obligations) does not exceed the Maximum First Lien Indebtedness Amount plus $1,500,000,000 and, except to the extent set forth herein, and as otherwise subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially adverse to their interests. Each Second Lien Agent on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that no such Person shall provide to any Obligor any DIP Financing (or support any other Person in seeking to provide to any Obligor any such DIP Financing) to the extent that any Second Lien Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a new Lien on any of its existing Second Lien Collateral unless the First Lien Agent shall have expressly consented thereto in writing.

     6.2. Sale of Collateral. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 3.1(c), each Second Lien Agent on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to or otherwise contest or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Collateral (and any post-petition assets subject to adequate protection Liens in favor of the First Lien Agent) free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite First Lien Claimholders have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets, so long as the interests of the Second Lien Claimholders in the Collateral (and any post-petition assets subject to adequate protection liens, if any, in favor of the Second Lien Agents) attach to the proceeds thereof (if sufficient to satisfy the First Lien Obligations and unless such Liens are intended to be released from such proceeds), subject to the terms of this Agreement, and the motion to sell or dispose of such assets does not impair the rights of either the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Claimholders under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Claimholders, may raise objections to any such Disposition of Collateral that could be raised by any creditor of the Obligors whose claims were not secured by any Liens on the Collateral so long as such objections are not based on the Second Lien Claimholders’ status as secured creditors (for example, any objections based on rights afforded by Sections 363(e) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any Bankruptcy Law cannot be raised).

     6.3. Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency

34



Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.4 has been denied by the Bankruptcy Court, and the Second Lien Claimholders shall otherwise remain subject to all applicable restrictions of this Agreement following the granting of such relief from the automatic stay.

     6.4. Adequate Protection.

          (a) Each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

               (1) any request by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay; or

               (2) any objection by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.4, in any Insolvency Proceeding:

               (1) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request (and the First Lien Claimholders may contest or object to) adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement; and

               (2) The Second Lien Agents and Second Lien Claimholders shall only be permitted to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral including replacement Liens on post-petition collateral; provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral; provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted senior replacement Liens on the Collateral; (C) an administrative expense claim; provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted an administrative expense claim which is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders; (D) cash payments with respect to interest on the Second Lien Obligations; provided either (1) as

35



adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted cash payments with respect to interest on the First Lien Obligations, or (2) such cash payments do not exceed an amount equal to the interest accruing on the principal amount of Second Lien Obligations outstanding on the date such relief is granted at the interest rate under the applicable Primary Second Lien Document and accruing from the date such Second Lien Agent is granted such relief; and (E) current payment of fees and expenses of advisors to the Second Lien Agents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless (x) the First Lien Claimholders shall be granted adequate protection in the same manner as the Second Lien Claimholders and (y) the adequate protection granted to the Second Lien Claimholders is subordinated to the First Lien Claimholders’ adequate protection, the First Lien Claimholders shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Second Lien Claimholders made pursuant to this Section 6.4(b); and provided, further that the First Lien Claimholders shall retain their right to object to the grant of adequate protection in the forms described in clause (D) or (E) above at any time.

          (c) Each Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on an interim basis shall be adequate if delivered to such Second Lien Agent at least two calendar days in advance of such hearing and that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on a final basis shall be adequate if delivered to such Second Lien Agent at least fifteen (15) calendar days in advance of such hearing.

     6.5. No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.1(a), (c) and (d) and except as expressly set forth in Section 6.4(b), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Lien Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay or the asserting by any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Documents or otherwise.

     6.6. Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any First Lien Borrower or any other Obligor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder after a Discharge of First Lien Obligations and prior to the reinstatement of

36



such First Lien Obligations shall be delivered to the First Lien Agent upon such reinstatement in accordance with Section 4.2.

     6.7. Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of proceeds thereof.

     6.8. Post-Petition Interest. (a) Neither any Second Lien Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest to the extent of the value of any First Lien Claimholder’s Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien of any Second Lien Agent on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.

     (b) Neither the First Lien Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Lien Agents on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the value of the First Lien Obligations).

     6.9. Waiver. Each Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of the election of any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding.

     6.10. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Agent for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and each class of Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, each class of Second Lien Obligations is fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and 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 First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that,

37



subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if the First Lien Obligations, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Obligations (taken as a whole), on the other hand, were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders), the First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, with each Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders. This Section 6.10 is intended solely to govern the relationship of the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Agents, on the other hand, and nothing herein shall be deemed to modify or affect any comparable separate grant or separate classification terms agreed among the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders under the Junior Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise.

     6.11. Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Obligor shall include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency Proceeding.

     6.12. Expense Claims. Neither any Second Lien Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder will (i) contest the payment of fees, expenses or other amounts to the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to the extent provided for in the First Lien Credit Agreement or (ii) assert or enforce, at any time prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code senior to or on parity with the First Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

     SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

     7.1. No Reliance. Each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledges that it and such Second Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them

38



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.

     7.2. No Warranties or Liability. The First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Documents, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Second Lien Agents and the 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. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that the First Lien Agent and the First 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 First Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, the First Lien Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective First Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the First Lien Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to any Second Lien Agent or any of the 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 First Lien Borrowers, the Issuers or any other Obligor (including the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

     7.3. No Waiver of Lien Priorities. (a) No right of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Agent, or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First 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 First Lien Borrowers, the Issuers or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any First Lien Claimholder or the First Lien Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First Lien Documents (except as set forth in such documents) or any of the Second Lien Documents (except as set forth in such documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

39



          (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the First Lien Borrowers, the Issuers and the other Obligors under the First Lien Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(a)), the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the First Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders, 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 First Lien Obligations or any Lien on any First Lien Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of any First Lien Borrower or any other Obligor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the First 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 the First Lien Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Obligations or any of the First Lien Documents; provided that any such increase in the First Lien Obligations shall not increase the sum of the Indebtedness constituting principal under the First Lien Credit Agreement to an amount in excess of the Maximum First Lien Indebtedness Amount;

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

               (3) settle or compromise any First Lien Obligation or any other liability of the First Lien Borrowers or any other 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 First Lien Obligations) in any manner or order; and

               (4) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against the First Lien Borrowers or any security or any other Obligor or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with the First Lien Borrowers, any other Obligor or any First Lien Collateral and any security and any guarantor or any liability of the First Lien Borrowers or any other Obligor to the First 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 First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Agent shall have no liability to

40



any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders, and each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any claim against any First Lien Claimholder or the First Lien Agent, arising out of any and all actions which the First Lien Claimholders or the First Lien Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to:

               (1) the First Lien Documents;

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

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

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

          (d) Each Second Lien Agent on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders acknowledges that this Agreement shall constitute notice of the respective interests of the Second Lien Agents and the Second Lien Claimholders in the Collateral as provided by Section 9-611 of the UCC and each hereby waives any right to compel any marshaling of any of the Collateral. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

     7.4. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders and 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 First Lien Documents or 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 First Lien Obligations or 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 First Lien Document or 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;

41



          (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 First Lien Borrower, any Issuer or any other Obligor in respect of the First Lien Agent, the First Lien Obligations, any First Lien Claimholder, 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 the First Lien Documents or 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 8. Miscellaneous.

     8.1. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the First Lien Documents, the Second Lien Documents or the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.

     8.2. 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 of lien and claim subordination and the First Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to any Second Lien Agent or any 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 the First Lien Borrowers or any Obligor constituting First 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 a First Lien Borrower, an Issuer or any other Obligor shall include such Person as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such First Lien Borrower, 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:

          (a) with respect to the First Lien Agent, the First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Obligations, upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, subject to Section 6.6; and

          (b) with respect to the Second Lien Agents, the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Obligations, upon the later of (1) the date upon which

42



the obligations under such Primary Second Lien Document terminate if there are no other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such date or (2) if there are other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such date, the date upon which such Second Lien Obligations terminate or if all Second Lien Obligations (other than the CIT Leasing Support Obligations) become unsecured obligations as contemplated by the Second Lien Documents in the event of an upgrade to an investment grade credit rating.

     8.3. Amendments; Waivers. Subject to the last sentence of Section 5.3(f), no amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any Second Lien Agent or the First 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, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall not require the approval, consent or signature of the Series A Representative, Series A Collateral Agent, Series B Representative or Series B Collateral Agent to the extent it is effected solely to implement the succession or addition of a new First Lien Credit Facility Representative and/or First Lien Parent Collateral Agent and/or First Lien Subsidiary Collateral Agent in connection with a Refinancing of the First Lien Obligations in whole or in part. 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.

     8.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the First Lien Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. The First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Agents, on the other hand, 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 First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations. The First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to advise any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event the First Lien Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder, it or they shall be under no obligation:

          (a) to make, and the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders 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;

43



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

          (c) to undertake any investigation; or

          (d) to disclose any information, which pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

     8.5. Subrogation. With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the Second Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Agents pays over to the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Agents shall be subrogated to the rights of the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders; provided that, each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. Each First Lien Borrower and Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Second Lien Agents or the Second Lien Claimholders that are paid over to or retained by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the Second Lien Obligations.

     8.6. Application of Payments. All payments received by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the First Lien Obligations provided for in the First Lien Documents. Each Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Lien Claimholders, assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment of the First Lien Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security which may at any time secure any part of the First Lien Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.

     8.7. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. (a) ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY:

               (5) AGREES THAT EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO RETAINS THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY IN ANY OTHER RELEVANT JURISDICTION.

          (b) ANY AND ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ANY OTHER NOTICE IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST ANY PARTY IF GIVEN BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS OR MAIL WHICH REQUIRES A SIGNED RECEIPT, POSTAGE PREPAID, MAILED AS PROVIDED ABOVE, IN EACH CASE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

          (c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.

          (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.

14



          (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

15



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

16



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.

17



     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.

18



          (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.

19



     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

20



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;

21



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.

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

22



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.

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:

23



     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.
