FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which
may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are based on
various facts and were derived utilizing numerous important
assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements include the information
concerning our future financial performance, business strategy,
projected plans and objectives. Statements preceded by, followed
by or that otherwise include the words believes,
expects, anticipates,
intends, projects,
estimates, plans, may
increase, may fluctuate and similar
expressions or future or conditional verbs such as
will, should, would,
may and could are generally
forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. You should
understand that the following important factors and assumptions
could affect our future results and could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed in such
forward-looking statements:
|
|
|
|
|
the high level of competition in the vehicle rental industry; |
|
|
|
an increase in the cost of new vehicles; |
|
|
|
a decrease in our ability to acquire or dispose of cars through
repurchase programs; |
|
|
|
a decline in the results of operations or financial condition of
the manufacturers of our cars; |
|
|
|
a downturn in airline passenger traffic in the United States or
in the other international locations in which we operate; |
|
|
|
an occurrence or threat of terrorism, pandemic disease, natural
disasters or military conflict in the markets in which we
operate; |
|
|
|
our dependence on third-party distribution channels; |
|
|
|
a disruption in rental activity during our peak season in key
market segments; |
|
|
|
a disruption in our ability to obtain financing for our
operations, including the funding of our vehicle fleet via the
asset-backed securities and lending market; |
|
|
|
a significant increase in interest rates or in borrowing costs; |
|
|
|
a substantial increase in fuel costs; |
|
|
|
a major disruption in our communication or centralized
information networks; |
|
|
|
our failure or inability to comply with regulations and any
changes in regulations; |
|
|
|
our failure or inability to make the changes necessary to
operate effectively following completion of the Separation Plan (defined
below); and |
|
|
|
other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory,
geopolitical and technological factors affecting our operations,
pricing or services. |
In addition, you should understand that the following important
factors and assumptions could affect the timing of the
final completion of our plan to separate into four independent
entities, including the anticipated sale of Travelport (the
Separation Plan), and such factors and assumptions relating to the Separation Plan could affect our future results
and could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in our forward-looking statements:
|
|
|
|
|
risks inherent in the separation and related transactions,
including risks related to new borrowings, and costs of the
proposed transactions related to the Separation Plan (specifically the anticipated sale of Travelport); |
|
|
|
changes in business, political and economic conditions in the
U.S. and in other countries in which Cendant and its companies
currently do business; |
|
|
|
changes in Cendants overall operating performance and
changes in the operating performance of Avis Budget Group or
Travelport; |
|
|
|
access to financing sources and changes in credit ratings,
including those that have resulted and may result from the
Separation Plan; |
1
|
|
|
|
|
the terms of agreements among the separated companies,
including the allocations of assets and liabilities, including
contingent liabilities and guarantees, commercial arrangements
and the performance of each of the separating companies
obligations under these agreements; |
|
|
|
increased demands on Cendants management team in connection with the execution and performance of the proposed transactions, in addition to their
regular day-to-day
management responsibilities; and |
|
|
|
the ability of Cendant to complete a sale of Travelport, which
is subject to certain conditions precedent. |
Other factors and assumptions not identified above, including
those described under Risk Factors in Item 1A
below, were also involved in the derivation of these
forward-looking statements, and the failure of such other
assumptions to be realized as well as other factors may also
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and
are generally beyond our control.
You should consider the areas of risk described above, as well
as those set forth under Risk Factors in connection
with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us and
our businesses generally. Except for our ongoing obligations to
disclose material information under the federal securities laws,
we undertake no obligation to release any revisions to any
forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the
occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. |
Financial Statements |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Cendant Corporation
New York, New York
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance
sheet of Cendant Corporation and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of June 30, 2006, the related
consolidated condensed statement of stockholders equity
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the related
consolidated condensed statements of income for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the
related consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the
six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. These
interim financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A
review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to such consolidated condensed
interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated condensed
interim financial statements, as of January 1, 2006 the
Company adopted the provisions for accounting for real estate
time-sharing transactions.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of
December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended prior to presenting Travel Network Group as a
discontinued operation (not presented herein); and in our report
dated February 28, 2006, we expressed an unqualified
opinion (which included an explanatory paragraph relating to the
adoption of the consolidation provisions for variable interest
entities during 2003, as discussed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, and an explanatory paragraph
with respect to the change in presentation in 2005 of the
consolidated statement of cash flows to present separate
disclosure of cash flows from operating, investing, and
financing activities of discontinued operations and the
retroactive revision of the statements of cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, for the change, as
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements) on those consolidated financial statements. We also
audited the adjustments described in Note 2 of the
consolidated condensed interim financial statements that were
applied to recast the December 31, 2005 balance sheet of
the Company. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of
December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

Cendant Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions, except
per share amounts)
|
|
1. |
Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements |
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2006, Cendant Corporation was a global
provider of real estate and travel services. Upon completion of
the distributions of shares of Realogy Corporation (Realogy)
and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (Wyndham) to the
Companys stockholders on
July 31, 2006, which are further described below, and the
anticipated sale of Travelport, Inc. in August 2006, the
Companys continuing operations will consist of Avis Budget
Group, which provides car and truck rentals and ancillary
services to businesses and consumers in the United States and
internationally. |
|
|
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements include the accounts and transactions of Cendant
Corporation and its subsidiaries (Cendant), as well
as entities in which Cendant directly or indirectly has a
controlling financial interest (collectively, the
Company). |
|
|
As of June 30, 2006, the Company operated in the following
business segments: |
|
|
|
|
|
Realogy (formerly known as the Real Estate Services
segment)Franchises the real estate brokerage
businesses of Realogys four residential brands and one
commercial brand, provides real estate brokerage services,
facilitates employee relocations and provides home buyers with
title and closing services (this business was spun-off on
July 31, 2006see below for further information). |
|
|
|
Hospitality ServicesFranchises ten lodging brands,
facilitates the exchange of vacation ownership intervals and
markets vacation rental properties (this business was spun-off
on July 31, 2006see below for further information). |
|
|
|
Timeshare ResortsMarkets and sells vacation
ownership interests, or VOIs, to individual consumers, provides
consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs and
provides property management services at resorts (this business
was spun-off on July 31, 2006see below for further
information). |
|
|
|
Avis Budget Group (formerly known as the
Vehicle Rental segment)Operates and franchises our car and truck
rental brands. |
|
|
|
Mortgage Servicesprovided home buyers with mortgage
lending services through January 31, 2005 (see
Note 17Spin-off of PHH Corporation). |
|
|
|
In presenting the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements,
management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their
nature, are based on judgments and available information.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
In managements opinion, the Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported.
The results of operations reported for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the
entire year or any subsequent interim period. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to
conform to the current period presentation. The Company made a
reclassification to reflect an immaterial correction to prior
year vehicle-related revenues and operating expenses to conform
to the current year gross reporting presentation for vehicle
licensing and airport concession fees, which resulted in
additional vehicle-related revenues and operating expenses of
$88 million and $165 million during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Such amounts had
been previously presented on a net basis. This correction had no
effect on previously reported pretax income. Additionally, for
the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company has
separately disclosed the operating, investing and financing
portions of cash flows attributable to its discontinued
operations (as described in more detail below), which in prior
periods were reported on a combined basis as a single amount.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Companys 2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed on
March 1, 2006. |
|
|
Discontinued Operations. In January 2005, the Company
completed the spin-off of its former mortgage, fleet leasing and
appraisal businesses in a tax-free distribution of the common
stock of PHH Corporation (PHH) to the Companys
stockholders. In February 2005, the Company completed an initial
public offering of Wright Express Corporation, its former fuel
card subsidiary, and in October 2005, the Company sold its
former Marketing Services division, which was comprised of its
individual membership and loyalty/insurance marketing
businesses. Also, in June 2006, the Company entered into a
definitive agreement to sell Travelport, the companies that
comprise the Companys travel distribution services
businesses, for approximately $4.3 billion. The Company
recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately
$1.0 billion in second quarter 2006 to reflect the
difference between Travelports carrying value and its
estimated fair value, less costs to dispose. There was no tax
benefit recorded in connection |
8
|
|
|
with this charge. The Company also expects that in third quarter
2006, it will incur an additional loss on the sale of Travelport
in connection with certain transaction-specific costs the
Company may not recognize until the sale is consummated.
Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the account
balances and activities of Wright Express, the former fleet
leasing and appraisal businesses, the former Marketing Services
division and Travelport have been segregated and reported as
discontinued operations for all periods presented. The
Companys former mortgage business has not been classified
as a discontinued operation due to Realogys participation
in a mortgage origination venture that was established with PHH
in connection with the spin-off (see Note 17Spin-off
of PHH Corporation for more information on the venture).
Summarized financial data for the aforementioned businesses are
provided in Note 2Discontinued Operations. |
|
|
Management Programs. The Company presents separately the
financial data of its management programs. These programs are
distinct from the Companys other activities since the
assets are generally funded through the issuance of debt that is
collateralized by such assets. Specifically, in the
Companys vehicle rental, relocation, and vacation
ownership and rental businesses, assets under management
programs are funded through borrowings under asset-linked
funding or other similar arrangements. Additionally, through
January 31, 2005, in the Companys former mortgage
services business, assets under management programs were funded
through borrowings under asset-linked funding arrangements or
unsecured borrowings at its former PHH subsidiary. The income
generated by these assets is used, in part, to repay the
principal and interest associated with the debt. Cash inflows
and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of such
assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such
assets are classified as activities of the Companys
management programs. The Company believes it is appropriate to
segregate the financial data of its management programs because,
ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the
realization of such assets. |
|
|
|
In October 2005, the Companys Board of Directors
preliminarily approved a plan to separate Cendant into four
independent, publicly traded companies: |
|
|
|
|
|
Realogy Corporationencompasses the Companys
Realogy segment. |
|
|
|
Wyndham Worldwide Corporationencompasses the
Companys Hospitality Services and Timeshare
Resorts segments. |
|
|
|
Travelport, Inc.will encompass the Companys
current Travel Distribution Services segment, which is now
presented as a discontinued operation. |
|
|
|
Avis Budget Group, Inc.will encompass the
Companys current Avis Budget Group segment. |
|
|
|
On April 24, 2006, the Company announced that in addition
to continuing to pursue its original plan to distribute all of
the shares of common stock of Travelport to its stockholders,
the Company would also explore opportunities for the sale of
such business. On June 30, 2006, the Company entered into a
definitive agreement to sell Travelport, as discussed above, and
on July 31, 2006 distributed all of the shares of common stock
of Realogy and Wyndham to the Companys stockholders (see Note 18Subsequent Events
for further information on the separation plan). During the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company
incurred costs of $49 million and $85 million,
respectively, in connection with executing this plan, consisting
primarily of legal, accounting, other professional and
consulting fees and various employee costs. |
|
|
In connection with its execution of the separation plan, the
Company has also repaid certain of its debt and revolving credit
facilities and consummated new financing arrangements (see
Note 11Long-Term Debt and Borrowing Arrangements and
Note 18Subsequent Events for further information). |
|
|
|
Changes in Accounting Policies during 2006 |
|
|
|
Timeshare Transactions. In December 2004, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions, in connection with the previous
issuance of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position
No. 04-2,
Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions
(SOP 04-2).
SFAS No. 152 provides guidance on revenue recognition
for timeshare transactions, accounting and presentation for the
uncollectibility of timeshare contract receivables, accounting
for costs of sales of vacation ownership interests and related
costs, accounting for operations during holding periods, and
other transactions associated with timeshare operations. |
|
|
The Companys revenue recognition policy for timeshare
transactions has historically mandated a 10% minimum down
payment (initial investment) as a prerequisite to recognizing
revenue on the sale of a vacation ownership interest.
SFAS No. 152 requires that the Company consider the
fair value of certain incentives provided to the buyer |
9
|
|
|
when assessing whether such threshold has been achieved. If the
buyers investment has not met the minimum investment
criteria of SFAS No. 152, the revenue associated with
the sale of the vacation ownership interest and the related cost
of sales and direct costs are deferred until the buyers
commitment satisfies the requirements of SFAS No. 152.
In addition, certain costs previously included in the
Companys
percentage-of-completion
calculation prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 152 are
now expensed as incurred rather than deferred until the
corresponding revenue is recognized. |
|
|
SFAS No. 152 requires the Company to record the
estimate of uncollectible timeshare contract receivables at the
time a timeshare transaction is consummated as a reduction of
net revenue. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 152,
the Company recorded such provisions within operating expense on
the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. |
|
|
SFAS No. 152 also requires that revenue in excess of
costs associated with the rental of unsold units be accounted
for as a reduction to the carrying value of timeshare inventory
(which reduces the cost of such inventory when it is sold), and
that costs in excess of revenues associated with the rental of
unsold units be charged to expense as incurred. Prior to the
adoption of SFAS No. 152, rental revenues and expenses
were separately recorded in the Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Income. |
|
|
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 152
effective January 1, 2006, as required, and recorded an
after tax charge of $65 million ($0.06 per diluted
share) during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a
cumulative effect of an accounting change, which consists of a
pre-tax charge of $105 million representing the deferral of
revenue and costs associated with sales of vacation ownership
interests that were recognized prior to January 1, 2006,
the recognition of certain expenses that were previously
deferred and an associated tax benefit of $40 million.
There was no impact to cash flows from the adoption of
SFAS No. 152. |
|
|
Stock-Based Compensation. On January 1, 2003, the
Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123) and the prospective
transition method of SFAS No. 148, Accounting
for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and
Disclosure. Accordingly, the Company has recorded
stock-based compensation expense for all employee stock awards
that were granted or modified subsequent to December 31,
2002. |
|
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123R) which eliminates the
alternative to measure stock-based compensation awards using the
intrinsic value approach permitted by APB Opinion No. 25
and by SFAS No. 123. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, as required,
under the modified prospective application method. Because the
Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for all
outstanding employee stock awards prior to the adoption of
SFAS No. 123R, the adoption of such standard did not
have a significant impact on the Companys results of
operations. However, the Company recorded an after tax credit of
$1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006
as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which represents
the Companys estimate of total future forfeitures of
stock-based awards outstanding as of January 1, 2006 (see
Note 15Stock-Based Compensation for further
information). |
|
|
|
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
|
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48), which is an interpretation of
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
FIN 48 provides measurement and recognition guidance
related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.
FIN 48 also requires increased disclosure with respect to
the uncertainty in income taxes. The Company will adopt the
provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, as required,
and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its
financial statements. |

the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 that were antidilutive. The increase in the number of
antidilutive options for the three months ended June 30, 2006 represents approximately 11 million
options that became out-of-the-money as a result of a decrease in the average stock price between
the three months ended June 30, 2006 ($16.64) and the three months ended June 30, 2005 ($20.96).
The increase in the number of antidilutive options for the six months ended June 30, 2006
represents approximately 60 million options that became out-of-the-money as a result of a
decrease in the average stock price between the six months ended June 30, 2006 ($16.65) and the six

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations
were recorded on the Companys Consolidated Condensed
Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon
their estimated fair values at such dates. The results of
operations of businesses acquired by the Company have been
included in the Companys Consolidated Condensed Statements
of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. The
excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of
the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was
allocated to goodwill. In certain circumstances, the allocations
of the excess purchase price are based upon preliminary
estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations may be
subject to revision when the Company receives final information,
including appraisals and other analyses. Any revisions to the
fair values, which may be significant, will be recorded by the
Company as further adjustments to the purchase price
allocations. The Company is also in the process of integrating
the operations of its acquired businesses and expects to incur
costs relating to such integrations. These costs may result from
integrating operating systems, relocating employees, closing
facilities, reducing duplicative efforts and exiting and
consolidating other activities. These costs will be recorded as
adjustments to the purchase price or as expenses, as appropriate. |

Texas American Title Company. On January 6,
2006, the Company completed the acquisition of multiple title
companies in Texas in a single transaction for total
consideration of $109 million, which includes
$32 million in cash, net of cash acquired of
$60 million, plus a $10 million note (subject to
potential downward adjustment) payable within two years of the
closing date, and $7 million of assumed liabilities. These
entities provide title and closing services, including title
searches, title insurance, home sale escrow and other closing
services. This acquisition resulted in goodwill (based on the
preliminary purchase price) of $30 million, none of which
is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Such goodwill was
assigned to the Companys Realogy segment. This acquisition
also resulted in $40 million of other intangible assets.
This acquisition expanded the Companys agency business
into Texas and added a wholly-owned underwriter of title
insurance to the title and settlement services portfolio. |
|
|
Other. During the six months ended June 30, 2006,
the Company acquired eleven real estate brokerage operations
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NRT Incorporated
(NRT), for $71 million in cash, in the
aggregate, which resulted in goodwill (based on the preliminary
allocation of the purchase price) of $69 million that was
assigned to the Companys Realogy segment, all of which is
expected to be deductible for tax purposes. These acquisitions
also resulted in $4 million of other intangible assets. |
|
|
In addition, the Company acquired fourteen other individually
non-significant businesses within several of its reportable
segments during the six months ended June 30, 2006 for
aggregate consideration of $79 million in cash, |
13
|
|
|
which resulted in goodwill (based on the preliminary allocation
of the purchase price) of $2 million, all of which is
expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was
assigned to the Companys Realogy segment. These
acquisitions also resulted in $75 million of other
intangible assets. |
|
|
These acquisitions were not significant to the Companys
results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |
|
|
|
Acquisition and Integration Related Costs |
|
|
|
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the
Company incurred acquisition and integration related costs of
$3 million and $11 million, respectively, of which
$2 million and $9 million, respectively, represented
amortization of its contractual pendings and listings intangible
assets, which were acquired primarily in connection with the
acquisitions of real estate brokerages by NRT. The Company
segregated the pendings and listings amortization to enhance the
comparability of its results of operations since these
intangible assets are amortized over a short period of time
(generally four to five months). The remaining costs of
$1 million and $2 million, respectively, reflect the
integration of the real estate brokerages acquired by NRT. |
|
|
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the
Company incurred acquisition and integration related costs of
$4 million and $8 million, respectively, of which
$3 million and $6 million, respectively, represented
amortization of its contractual pendings and listings intangible
assets, all of which were acquired in connection with the
acquisitions of real estate brokerages by NRT. The remaining
costs of $1 million and $2 million, respectively,
reflect the integration of the real estate brokerages acquired
by NRT. |

Restructuring and Transaction-Related Charges |
|
|
|
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the
Company recorded $1 million and $40 million,
respectively, of restructuring and transaction-related charges,
of which $1 million and $37 million, respectively, was
incurred as a result of restructuring activities undertaken
following the PHH spin-off and the IPO of Wright Express, and
$3 million relates to transaction costs incurred during the
six months ended June 30, 2005 in connection with the PHH
spin-off. The restructuring activities were targeted principally
at reducing costs, enhancing organizational efficiency and
consolidating and rationalizing existing processes and
facilities. The more significant areas of cost reduction include
the closure of a call center and field locations of the
Companys truck rental business, consolidation of processes
and offices in the Companys real estate brokerage business
and reductions in staff within the Hospitality Services segment
and the Companys corporate functions. The remaining
liability relating to these actions was $1 million and
$6 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31,
2005, respectively, and primarily relates to obligations under
terminated leases. |

to the non-deductibility of the $180 million valuation
charge associated with the PHH spin-off and state and local
income taxes, partially offset by a tax benefit of
$55 million related to asset basis differences. |

(a) |
During July 2006, the Company discharged its obligations with
respect to an aggregate principal amount of $950 million
due in August 2006 under the
67/8
% and 4.89% notes. |
|
|
(b) |
The Company repaid substantially all of these notes on
July 28, 2006 (see Note 18Subsequent Events for
further information). |
|
|
(c) |
In connection with the Companys execution of its
separation plan, Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, the parent company
of the Companys vehicle rental operations, borrowed
$1,875 million in April 2006, which consists of
(i) $1,000 million of unsecured fixed rate notes and
floating rate senior notes and (ii) an $875 million
secured floating rate term loan under a senior credit facility.
The floating rate term loan and floating rate senior notes bear
interest at three month LIBOR plus 125 basis points and
three month LIBOR plus 250 basis points, respectively. |
|
|
(d) |
As of June 30, 2006, this balance represents
$212 million of
mark-to-market
adjustments on current interest rate hedges, partially offset by
$89 million of net gains resulting from the termination of
interest rate hedges. As of December 31, 2005, the balance
represents $153 million of net
mark-to-market
adjustments on current interest rate hedges, partially offset by
$106 million of net gains resulting from the termination of
interest rate hedges. |
|
|
(e) |
The balances as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005
include $850 million and $100 million of borrowings
under the Companys
67/8%
and 4.89% notes, respectively, due in August 2006. The
balance at June 30, 2006 also includes (i) aggregate
principal of approximately $2.5 billion outstanding under
the Companys
61/4% notes
due in January 2008 and March 2010,
73/8% notes
due in January 2013 and
71/8
% notes due in March 2015 and
(ii) $200 million of borrowings under the
Companys $2.0 billion revolving credit facility,
which are classified as current as such borrowings were repaid
in July 2006. |

Outstanding borrowings include $200 million under the
Companys $2.0 billion revolving credit facility. The
outstanding borrowings above do not include $265 million of
borrowings for which the Companys Travelport subsidiary is
the primary obligor. This amount is included within liabilities
of discontinued operations on the Companys Consolidated
Condensed Balance Sheet at June 30, 2006. In addition to
the letters of credit issued as of June 30, 2006, the
revolving credit facility contains the committed capacity to
issue an additional $1,340 million in letters of credit.
Total capacity under this program was reduced from $3.5 to
$2.0 billion in 2006. The Company repaid and terminated
this facility on July 28, 2006 and refinanced the
$265 million of borrowings for which the Companys
Travelport subsidiary is the primary obligor (see
Note 18Subsequent Events). |
17
|
|
|
|
(b) |
This secured revolving credit facility was entered into by Avis
Budget Car Rental, LLC in April 2006, has a five year term and
currently bears interest at one month LIBOR plus 150 basis
points. |
|
(c) |
Final maturity date is July 2010. |
|
|
|
During second quarter 2006, Realogy entered into (i) a
$1,650 million credit facility consisting of a
$1,050 million revolving credit facility and a
$600 million term loan facility and (ii) a
$1,325 million interim loan facility. No amounts were
outstanding under any of these facilities at June 30, 2006.
The Company does not have any obligations related to these
facilities, nor does the Company have access to these
facilities, as they were entered into by Realogy, which was
spun-off on July 31, 2006 (see Note 18Subsequent
Events). |
|
|
As of June 30, 2006, the Company also had $400 million
of availability for public debt or equity issuances under a
shelf registration statement. |
|
|
Certain of the Companys debt instruments and credit
facilities contain restrictive covenants, including restrictions
on indebtedness, mergers, limitations on liens, liquidations and
sale and leaseback transactions, and also require the
maintenance of certain financial ratios. At June 30, 2006,
the Company was in compliance with all restrictive and financial
covenants. The Companys debt instruments permit the debt
issued thereunder to be accelerated upon certain events,
including the failure to pay principal when due under any of the
Companys other debt instruments or credit facilities
subject to materiality thresholds. The Companys credit
facilities permit the loans made thereunder to be accelerated
upon certain events, including the failure to pay principal when
due under any of the Companys debt instruments subject to
materiality thresholds. |

The change in the balance at June 30, 2006 principally
reflects the payment of vehicle-backed notes with a portion of
the proceeds from the issuance $1,875 million of fixed and
floating rate notes by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC in April
2006, partially offset by the issuance of floating rate
vehicle-backed notes at various interest rates to support the
acquisition of vehicles used in the Companys vehicle
rental business. |

facilities related to management programs. |
|
|
13. |
Commitments and Contingencies |
|
|
|
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently
examining the Companys taxable years 1998 through 2002.
Over the course of this audit, the Company has responded to
various requests for information, primarily focused on the 1999
statutory merger of the Companys former fleet business;
the calculation of the stock basis in the 1999 sale of a
subsidiary; and the deductibility of expenses associated with
the shareholder class action litigation. To date, the Company
has not agreed to any IRS proposed adjustments related to such
period. Although the Company believes it has appropriate support
for the positions taken on its tax returns, the Company has
recorded a liability for its best estimate of the probable loss
on certain of these positions. The Company believes that its
accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years,
based on its assessment of many factors including past
experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts
of each matter. Although the Company believes its recorded
assets and liabilities are reasonable, tax regulations are
subject to interpretation and tax litigation is inherently
uncertain; therefore, the Companys assessments can involve
a series of complex judgments about future events and rely
heavily on estimates and assumptions. While the Company believes
that the estimates and assumptions supporting its assessments
are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any
related litigation could be materially different than that which
is reflected in historical income tax provisions and recorded
assets and liabilities. Based on the results of an audit or
litigation, a material effect on our income tax provision, net
income, or cash flows in the period or periods for which that
determination is made could result. |
|
|
The Company is involved in litigation asserting claims
associated with accounting irregularities discovered in 1998 at
former CUC business units outside of the principal common
stockholder class action litigation. While the Company has an
accrued liability of approximately $70 million recorded on
its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30,
2006 for these claims based upon its best estimates, it does not
believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the final
outcome or resolution of any unresolved proceedings. The Company
does not believe that the impact of any unresolved proceedings
should result in a material liability to the Company in relation
to its consolidated financial position or liquidity as Realogy
and Wyndham Worldwide, at the time of separation, each have agreed to
assume responsibility for these liabilities as well as other
liabilities related to the Companys litigation that is not
related to its vehicle rental operations (see
Note 18Subsequent Events). Additionally, in the event
that Travelport is distributed to Cendants stockholders and not
sold, it will assume a portion of the responsibility for these
litigation matters (which would reduce the respective portions
assumed by Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide). Such litigation being
assumed by Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide includes
litigation retained by the Company in connection with the sale
of its former Marketing Services division, two patent
infringement cases and a dispute regarding expenses related to a
settled breach of contract claim. |
19
|
|
|
In addition, pursuant to the Separation and Distribution
Agreement (See Note 18Subsequent Events), Realogy,
Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport have agreed to assume and
retain all of the liabilities primarily related to each of their
respective businesses and operations, including litigation
primarily related to each of their businesses where Cendant is a
named party, including a regulatory proceeding and a class
action lawsuit related to a Realogy joint venture. |
|
|
In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company is also
involved in claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries
related to its vehicle rental operations, including contract
disputes, business practices, intellectual property,
environmental issues and other commercial, employment and tax
matters, including breach of contract claims by licensees. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued
for such matters as appropriate or, for matters not requiring
accrual, believes that they will not have a material adverse
effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash
flows based on information currently available. However,
litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although the Company
believes that its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid
defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur,
which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys
results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting
period. |
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the
Company paid cash dividends of $113 million ($0.11 per
share during the first quarter) and $192 million
($0.09 per share each quarter), respectively. |
|
|
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company used
$221 million of available cash and $22 million of
proceeds primarily received in connection with option exercises
to repurchase $243 million (approximately 14 million
shares) of Cendant common stock under its common stock
repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30,
2005, the Company used $269 million of available cash and
$191 million of proceeds primarily received in connection
with option exercises to repurchase approximately
$460 million (approximately 24 million shares) of
Cendant common stock under its common stock repurchase program. |

The reportable segments presented below represent the
Companys operating segments for which separate financial
information is available and which is utilized on a regular
basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess
performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its
reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of
services provided by its operating segments. Management
evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable
segments based upon revenue and EBITDA, which is
defined as income from continuing operations before non-program
related depreciation and amortization, non-program related
interest, amortization of pendings and listings, income taxes
and minority interest. The Companys presentation of EBITDA
may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other
companies. |

Includes unallocated corporate overhead, the elimination of

ended June 30, 2005 includes a gain of $18 million on
the sale of Homestore, Inc. common stock. |

(b) |
The Companys former mortgage business was disposed in
connection with the spin-off of PHH in January 2005. EBITDA in

PHH spin-off. |
|
(c) |
The 2005 amount includes the reversal of $73 million of

|

Spin-off of PHH Corporation |
|
|
|
As previously discussed, on January 31, 2005, the Company
completed the spin-off of its former mortgage, fleet leasing and
appraisal businesses in a tax-free distribution to the
Companys stockholders of one share of PHH common stock per
every twenty shares of Cendant common stock held on
January 19, 2005. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, the
Company was required to perform an impairment analysis upon
completion of the PHH spin-off. Accordingly, the Company
recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $488 million in
first quarter 2005, to reflect the difference between PHHs
carrying value and PHHs initial market value, as
determined by the average trading price of PHH common stock on
February 1, 2005. The charge was recorded as a reduction to
net income with an offsetting increase to retained earnings
since the impaired assets had been disposed of on
January 31, 2005. Of the $488 million total charge,
approximately $180 million ($0.17 per diluted share)
was allocated to the mortgage business and, therefore, recorded
within continuing operations. The remaining charge,
approximately $308 million ($0.29 per diluted share),
was allocated to the fleet leasing and appraisal businesses and,
therefore, recorded within discontinued operations. There were
no tax benefits recorded in connection with these charges, as
such charges are not tax deductible. |
|
|
Similarly, the Company incurred $7 million of transaction
costs during first quarter 2005 associated with the PHH
spin-off, of which $3 million was allocated to continuing
operations (which is recorded within the restructuring and
transaction-related costs line item on the Consolidated
Condensed Statement of Income within the Mortgage Services
segment) and $4 million was allocated to discontinued
operations (which is recorded within the gain (loss) on disposal
of discounted operations, net of tax line item on the
Companys Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income).
There were no tax benefits recorded in connection with these
charges, as such charges are not tax deductible. |
|
|
The account balances and activities of the Companys former
fleet leasing and appraisal businesses, as well as the
$308 million impairment charge described above and
$4 million of transaction costs also described above, have
been presented within discontinued operations (see
Note 2Discontinued Operations for summary financial
data for these entities). However, as discussed above, the
Companys former mortgage business has not been classified as a
discontinued operation. |
|
|
|
Spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham |
|
|
|
On July 31, 2006, the Company completed the spin-offs of
Realogy and Wyndham in tax-free distributions of one share each
of Realogy and Wyndham common stock for every four and five
shares, respectively, of Cendant |
22
|
|
|
Corporation common stock held on July 21, 2006. On
August 1, 2006, Realogy and Wyndham stock began regular-way
trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols
H and WYN, respectively. Prior to the
completion of the spin-offs, Cendant received special cash
dividends of $2,275 million and $1,360 million from
Realogy and Wyndham, respectively, and utilized such proceeds to
fund a portion of the repayment of its outstanding debt, as
discussed below. |
|
|
In connection with the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, the
Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which Realogy will
assume 62.5% and Wyndham will assume 37.5% (or, if the sale of
Travelport is not completed, Realogy will assume 50%, Wyndham
will assume 30% and Travelport will assume 20%) of certain
contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company or its
subsidiaries, which are not primarily related to any of the
respective businesses of Realogy, Wyndham, Travelport and/or the
Companys vehicle rental operations, in each case incurred
on or prior to the earlier of December 31, 2006 or the date
of the separation of Travelport from the Company. Realogy will
be entitled to receive 62.5% and Wyndham will be entitled to
receive 37.5% (or, if the sale of Travelport is not completed,
Realogy will be entitled to receive 50%, Wyndham will be
entitled to receive 30% and Travelport will be entitled to
receive 20%) of the proceeds (or, in certain cases, a portion
thereof) from certain contingent corporate assets of Cendant,
which are not primarily related to any of the respective
businesses of Realogy, Wyndham, Travelport and/or the
Companys vehicle rental operations, arising or accrued on
or prior to the earlier of December 31, 2006 or the date of
the separation of Travelport from the Company. Additionally, if
Realogy or Wyndham (and Travelport, if Travelport is spun-off)
were to default on its payment of costs or expenses to the
Company related to any such liability, the Company would be
responsible for a portion of the defaulting partys
obligation. Realogy and Wyndham have also agreed to guarantee
each others as well as the Companys obligation under
each entitys deferred compensation plans for amounts
deferred in respect of 2005 and earlier years. |
|
|
Prior to the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, the Company
entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Realogy,
Wyndham and Travelport to provide for an orderly transition
following the sale of Travelport and the spin-offs of Realogy
and Wyndham. Under the Transition Services Agreement, the
Company will provide Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport with
various services, including services relating to human resources
and employee benefits, payroll, financial systems management,
treasury and cash management, accounts payable services,
telecommunications services and information technology services. |
|
|
|
In connection with the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, on
August 1, 2006, approximately 10 million RSUs
outstanding at June 30, 2006 were cancelled. Each of the
remaining 11 million RSUs converted into 1 Cendant RSU,
one-fourth of a Realogy RSU and one-fifth of a Wyndham RSU in order
to maintain the value of each employees grant immediately prior to
the spin-offs. The
Company will record pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of
approximately $30 million in third quarter 2006 in
connection with the accelerated vesting of these RSUs, which is
expected to occur in August 2006. |
|
|
Also in connection with the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, on
August 1, 2006, outstanding stock options previously
granted to the Companys employees were converted into
stock options of Cendant, Realogy and Wyndham in the same ratio
described above. |
|
|
On August 1, 2006, following the completion of the
spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, the Company granted (i)
approximately 18 million RSUs with aggregate value of
$45 million and a four year vesting period and (ii)
approximately 5 million stock-settled stock appreciation
rights. |
|
|
|
Repayment of Corporate Debt |
|
|
|
In connection with the execution of its separation plan, during
July 2006, the Company completed a tender offer for
$2.6 billion of its corporate debt by repurchasing
approximately $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of
its
61/4% notes
due in January 2008 and March 2010,
73/8% notes
due in January 2013 and
71/8% notes
due in March 2015 for cash of approximately $2.9 billion,
including accrued interest. In connection with such repurchase,
the Company will record a pre-tax charge of approximately
$300 million during third quarter 2006. During July 2006,
the Company also paid the $950 million due in August 2006
under its
67/8
% and 4.89% notes. |
23
|
|
|
Termination of $2.0 Billion Revolving Credit Facility and
Asset-Linked Facility |
|
|
|
As a result of the execution of the separation plan, the Company
repaid outstanding borrowings of $560 million (including
$265 million which was recorded within discontinued
operations) and $600 million under its $2.0 billion
revolving credit facility and asset-linked facility,
respectively, and terminated these facilities during July 2006. |
|
|
|
Travelport Interim Financing |
|
|
|
On July 18, 2006, the Company, through its Travelport
subsidiary, entered into a $2.2 billion interim credit
agreement. On July 27, 2006, Travelport borrowed
approximately $1.9 billion under this credit facility,
which was used by the Company to fund a portion of the repayment
of its outstanding corporate debt, the funding of certain
expenses in connection with the separation plan and certain other
legacy liabilities and to repay outstanding
Travelport borrowings under the Companys $2.0 billion
revolving credit facility. The Company must repay these
borrowings and will terminate this facility concurrent with the
sale of Travelport. |
|
|
|
On July 7, 2006, Wyndham entered into (i) a $1,200
million credit facility consisting of a $900 million
revolving credit facility and a $300 million term loan
facility and (ii) an $800 million interim loan
facility. Also, on July 11, 2006, Wyndham issued
$550 million aggregate principal amount of timeshare loan-backed notes. The
Company does not have any obligations related to these
facilities, nor does the Company have access to these
facilities, as they were entered into by Wyndham, which was
spun-off on July 31, 2006. |

Item 2. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying
Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and with our 2005 Annual
Report on
Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1,
2006. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in
millions.
Upon completion of the spin-offs of Realogy Corporation and
Wyndham Worldwide Corporation on July 31, 2006 and the
anticipated sale of Travelport, Inc. in August 2006, our
continuing operations will consist of our Avis Budget Group,
which provides car and truck rentals and ancillary services to
businesses and consumers in the United States and
internationally.
Following is a brief description of the services provided by
each of our business segments:
|
|
|
|
|
Realogy (formerly known as the Real Estate Services
segment) Through July 31, 2006, franchised the
real estate brokerage businesses of our four residential brands
and one commercial brand, provided real estate brokerage
services, facilitated employee relocations and provided home
buyers with title and closing services (this business was
spun-off on July 31, 2006 see below for further
information). |
|
|
|
Hospitality Services Through July 31, 2006,
franchised ten lodging brands, facilitated the exchange of
vacation ownership intervals and marketed vacation rental
properties (this business was spun-off of on July 31,
2006 see below for further information). |
|
|
|
Timeshare Resorts Through July 31, 2006,
marketed and sold vacation ownership interests, or VOIs, to
individual consumers, provided consumer financing in connection
with the sale of VOIs and provided property management services

segment) operates and franchises our car and truck
rental brands. |
|

In October 2005, our Board of Directors preliminarily approved a
plan to separate Cendant into four independent, publicly-traded
companies:
|
|
|
|
|
Realogy Corporation encompasses our former Realogy
segment. |
|
|

Wyndham Worldwide Corporation encompasses our
former Hospitality Services and Timeshare Resorts segments. |

Avis Budget Group, Inc. will encompass our current
Avis Budget Group segment. |
On July 31, 2006, we completed the spin-offs of Realogy
Corporation and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation in tax-free
distributions of one share each of Realogy and Wyndham common
stock for every four and five shares, respectively, of Cendant
Corporation common stock held on July 21, 2006. On
April 24, 2006, we announced that in addition to continuing
to pursue our original plan to spin-off Travelport to our
stockholders, we would also evaluate opportunities for the sale
of such business. On June 30, 2006, we entered into a
definitive agreement to sell Travelport for approximately
$4.3 billion (subject to adjustment). Closing of the sale
of Travelport is expected in August 2006 and is subject to
certain conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we
incurred costs of $49 million and $85 million,
respectively, in connection with executing our plan, consisting
primarily of legal, accounting, other professional and
consulting fees and various employee costs.
Also, in connection with our execution of the separation plan,
we have repaid certain corporate and other debt and have entered
into new financing arrangements, including (i) the completion of
$1,875 million of fixed and floating rate financing by Avis
Budget Car Rental, LLC, the parent company of our vehicle rental
subsidiaries, (ii) the establishment of a $1.5 billion
revolving credit facility by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC,
(iii) the completion of a tender offer for
$2.6 billion of our corporate debt by repurchasing approximately
$2.5 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of our
61/4% notes
due in January 2008 and March 2010,
73/8% notes
due in January 2013 and
71/8% notes
due in March 2015 and (iv) the discharge of our obligations
with respect to aggregate principal of $950 million due in
August 2006 under our
67/8
% and 4.89% notes. As a result of the spin-offs of
Realogy and Wyndham, we repaid outstanding borrowings of
$560 million (including $265 million which was
recorded within discontinued operations) and $600 million
under our $2.0 billion revolving credit facility and our
asset-linked facility, respectively, and terminated these
facilities during July 2006.
We have submitted several proposals to be voted upon at our annual stockholders meeting scheduled for
August 29, 2006, including one to change Cendant's name to Avis Budget Group, Inc. and another to authorize
a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of Cendant's common stock. If approved, these proposals are expected to
become effective on September 5, 2006 and at such time we expect that our New York Stock Exchange ticker
symbol will be changed to "CAR".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Discussed below are our consolidated results of operations and
the results of operations for each of our reportable segments.
Generally accepted accounting principles require us to segregate
and report as discontinued operations, for all periods
presented, the account balances and activities of our former
fleet leasing and appraisal businesses, Wright Express, our
former Marketing Services division and Travelport. Although we
no longer own our former mortgage business, we cannot classify
such business as a discontinued operation due to Realogys
participation in a mortgage origination venture that was
established with PHH in connection with our January 2005
spin-off of PHH.
The reportable segments presented below represent our operating
segments for which separate financial information is available
and which is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating
decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources.
In identifying our reportable segments, we also consider the
nature of services provided by our operating segments.
Management evaluates the operating results of each of our
reportable segments based upon revenue and EBITDA,
which we define as income from continuing operations before
non-program related depreciation and amortization, non-program
related interest, amortization of pendings and listings, income
taxes and minority interest. Our presentation of EBITDA may not
be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other
companies.

Net revenues and total expenses increased $87 million (2%)
and $315 million (9%), respectively, in second quarter 2006
as compared with second quarter 2005, reflecting (i) the
acquisitions of businesses during or subsequent to second
quarter 2005, (ii) organic growth within our Avis Budget
Group and Timeshare Resorts segments, (iii) an organic
decrease in revenue within our Realogy segment and
(iv) other items discussed below.

These businesses were acquired at various dates during or
subsequent to second quarter 2005. |
Our Avis Budget Group segment generated organic revenue growth
in second quarter 2006 reflecting strong demand at both our
domestic and international operations. We experienced greater
car rental time and mileage (T&M) revenue
principally as a result of a 9% increase in T&M
revenue per day and a 3% increase in rental days. Revenues at
our Timeshare Resorts segment also grew quarter-over-quarter
principally due to a 9% increase in tour flow, an 11% increase
in revenue per guest and increased consumer finance income,
partially offset by the impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions. See Note 1 to our
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further
information on this accounting standard.
These revenue increases were partially offset by an organic
decrease in revenues at our Realogy segment, reflecting a 16%
decrease in the number of homesale transactions from our third
party franchisees and a 17% decrease in the number of homesale
transactions from our real estate brokerage business. Expenses
also increased as a result of organic revenue
26
growth (which added additional volume related expenses), higher
vehicle and interest costs within Avis Budget Group, additional marketing
investments, and an accrual related to local taxes payable in
certain international jurisdictions related to our European vacation
rental operations, which is recorded within general and
administrative expenses.
The quarter-over-quarter increase in expenses also includes
(i) $49 million of expenses we incurred in second
quarter 2006 resulting from the execution of our separation plan
and (ii) a $44 million increase in interest expense
primarily resulting from $1,875 million of borrowings by
Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC in second quarter 2006. These
borrowings were used to reduce our vehicle-related debt, which
reduced vehicle-related interest expense.
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 37.2% for
both second quarter 2006 and 2005. As a result of the
above-mentioned items, income from continuing operations
decreased $142 million (45%).
Income from discontinued operations decreased $14 million,
which reflects a $23 million reduction in net income
generated by Travelport, partially offset by the absence in 2006
of a net loss of $9 million by our former Marketing
Services division, which was disposed in October 2005.
During 2006, we recognized a net loss on the disposal of
discontinued operations of approximately $1.0 billion,
substantially all of which represents a non-cash impairment
charge to reflect the difference between Travelports
carrying value and its estimated fair value, less costs to
dispose.
As a result of the above-mentioned items, net income decreased
approximately $1.1 billion.

reportable segments during second quarter:

Realogy (formerly, Real Estate Services)
Revenues and EBITDA decreased $140 million (7%) and
$87 million (22%), respectively, during second quarter 2006
as compared with second quarter 2005, principally reflecting
reduced homesale volumes, partially offset by growth in the
average prices of homes sold and the impact of acquisitions
consummated during or subsequent to second quarter 2005.
Royalty revenue within our real estate franchise business
decreased $13 million (9%) in second quarter 2006 as
compared with second quarter 2005. Such decrease was primarily
driven by a 16% decrease in the number of homesale transactions
from our third-party franchisees and a decrease in the average
brokerage commission rate earned by our franchises from 2.52% in
second quarter 2005 to 2.47% in second quarter 2006. These
decreases were partially offset by a 5% increase in the average
price of homes sold. In addition to royalties received from our
third-party franchisees, our NRT brokerage subsidiary continues
to pay royalties to our real estate franchise business. However,
these intercompany royalties, which approximated
$96 million and $106 million during second quarter
2006 and 2005, respectively, are eliminated in consolidation and
therefore have no impact on this segments revenues or
EBITDA.
Revenue within our real estate brokerage business decreased
$154 million (9%) in second quarter 2006 as compared with
second quarter 2005. This decrease is due to a reduction in
commission revenue earned in 2006, partially offset by
incremental revenues generated by acquisitions made by NRT
during or subsequent to second quarter 2005, which together
contributed incremental revenues and EBITDA of $76 million
and $11 million, respectively, to 2006 operating results.
27
Apart from these acquisitions, NRTs revenue decreased
$230 million (14%) in second quarter 2006 as compared with
second quarter 2005. This decrease was substantially comprised
of reduced commission income earned on homesale transactions,
which was primarily driven by a 17% decline in the number of
homesale transactions, partially offset by a 5% increase in the
average price of homes sold. We believe that the 17% decline in
homesale transactions is reflective of industry trends in the
premium coastal areas we serve, particularly Florida, California
and New England. EBITDA further reflects a decrease of
$157 million in commission expenses paid to real estate
agents principally as a result of the reduction in revenues
earned on homesale transactions.
NRT has a significant concentration of real estate brokerage
offices and transactions in geographic regions where home prices
are at the higher end of the U.S. real estate market,
particularly the east and west coasts. The real estate franchise
business has franchised offices that are more widely dispersed
across the United States than our NRT real estate brokerage
operations. Accordingly, operating results and homesale
statistics may differ between NRT and the real estate franchise
business based upon geographic presence and the corresponding
homesale activity in each geographic region.
Revenue within our relocation services business decreased
$4 million (3%) during second quarter 2006 as compared with
second quarter 2005, primarily reflecting a $9 million
decrease in domestic revenue due to lower average fees and
volume, as well as lower relocation referral volume. These
decreases were partially offset by $5 million of
incremental management fees and commissions earned in our
international services due to increased international
transaction volume.
Revenues from our title and settlement services business
increased $21 million (22%) during second quarter 2006 as
compared with second quarter 2005 primarily due to the
acquisition of multiple title and underwriting companies in
Texas in a single transaction in January 2006, which contributed
$35 million of revenue and $4 million of EBITDA to our
second quarter 2006 operating results. These entities provide
title and closing services, including title searches, title
insurance, homesale escrow and other closing services. This
increase was partially offset by a $17 million decline in
title and closing revenues principally from reduced resale and
refinancing volume consistent with the decline in overall
homesale transactions noted in the other real estate services
businesses.
Apart from NRTs significant acquisitions and real estate
agent commission expense as well as the acquisition of the title
and underwriting companies in Texas (each of which is discussed
separately above), operating, marketing and administrative
expenses remained relatively constant quarter-over-quarter. Cost
savings within our real estate brokerage business, primarily
relating to reduced incentive compensation as a result of
reduced profitability and marketing campaigns, were offset by
restructuring and separation costs and inflationary and other
office-related cost increases within our real estate brokerage
business.
Hospitality Services
Revenues increased $54 million (15%), while EBITDA
decreased $23 million (23%), in second quarter 2006 as
compared with second quarter 2005. The revenue increase is
primarily attributable to the acquisition of the Wyndham Hotels
and Resorts brand and increases in the key revenue drivers
across all our Hospitality Services businesses, reflecting
positive industry-wide dynamics. However, the
quarter-over-quarter EBITDA comparison was negatively impacted
by a tax accrual (recorded within general and administrative expenses) related to our European vacation rental
activities, which is discussed in greater detail below.
The operating results of our lodging business reflect the
acquisition of the management and franchise business of the
Wyndham Hotel chain in October 2005, which contributed
incremental revenue of $35 million and an EBITDA loss of
$2 million to second quarter 2006 results. Included within
the $35 million of revenue generated by Wyndham is
approximately $28 million related to reimbursable expenses,
which has no impact on EBITDA. Apart from this acquisition,
revenues in our lodging business increased $13 million
quarter-over-quarter primarily due to an $8 million (8%)
increase in royalty, marketing and reservation fund revenues and
a $4 million increase in revenues generated by our
TripRewards loyalty program in second quarter 2006. The
$8 million increase in royalty, marketing and reservation
fund revenues was primarily due to a 10% increase in revenue per
available room (RevPAR). The RevPAR increase
reflects (i) increases in both price and occupancy
principally attributable to an overall improvement in the
economy lodging segment in which our hotel brands primarily
operate, (ii) the termination of underperforming properties
throughout 2005 that did not meet our required quality standards
or their financial obligations to us and (iii) the
strategic assignment of personnel to field locations designed to
assist franchisees in improving their hotel operating
performance.
Revenues from our vacation exchange and rental activities
increased $7 million (3%) in second quarter 2006. This
increase primarily resulted from a $5 million (6%) increase
in revenue generated from our European vacation rental
activities due to a 4% increase in cottage weeks sold
quarter-over-quarter. In addition, revenues from business
activities within our legacy RCI brand increased $2 million
(1%) in second quarter 2006 due to a $4 million (12%)
increase in other timeshare points and rental transaction
revenues, partially offset by a $2 million (8%) decrease in
other transactional revenues. The increase in other timeshare
points and rental transaction revenues during second quarter
2006 was principally driven by an 8% increase in the average
price per rental transaction and a 3% increase in points and
rental transaction volume.
28
Exchange and subscription fee revenues were relatively constant
quarter-over-quarter, reflecting a 4% increase in the average
number of worldwide subscribers, partially offset by a 3%
decrease in exchange transaction volumes. Revenue trends reflect
the continued shift in the RCI timeshare membership base toward
a greater mix of points members from traditional one-week
timeshare members.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately
$40 million (15%) in operating, marketing and
administrative expenses (excluding the impact of the acquisition
discussed above) principally resulting from (i) a
$25 million charge in second quarter 2006 related to local
taxes payable in certain international jurisdictions,
(ii) a $7 million increase in marketing, consulting
and infrastructure costs incurred to support growth within our
vacation exchange and rental activities,
(iii) $4 million of increased campsite expenses from
our vacation rental activities and (iv) a $3 million
increase in expenses used to fund marketing-related initiatives
for our TripRewards loyalty program. These increases were
partially offset by a $6 million reduction in
incentive-based compensation expense in second quarter 2006.
Timeshare Resorts
Revenues and EBITDA increased $43 million (10%) and
$11 million (15%), respectively, in second quarter 2006 as
compared with second quarter 2005. The operating results reflect
organic growth in vacation ownership sales and consumer finance
income as well as the impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 152. Exclusive of the estimated impact of
SFAS No. 152 on our second quarter 2006 results,
revenues and EBITDA increased $89 million (20%) and
$13 million (17%), respectively.
Exclusive of the estimated impact of this accounting change, net
sales of vacation ownership interests (VOIs) at our
vacation ownership business increased by an estimated
$81 million (24%) in second quarter 2006 principally driven
by an 11% increase in revenue per guest and a 9% increase in
tour flow. Revenue per guest benefited from higher pricing and tour flow was positively impacted by the
continued development of the Companys in-house sales
programs.
Revenues and EBITDA increased $16 million and
$13 million, respectively, in second quarter 2006 due to
incremental net interest income earned on contract receivables
primarily due to growth in the portfolio. Revenue and EBITDA
comparisons were negatively impacted by $11 million of
income recorded in second quarter 2005 in connection with the
disposal of a parcel of land that was no longer consistent with
our development plans.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately
$73 million (21%) in operating, marketing and
administrative expenses primarily resulting from
(i) $23 million of increased cost of sales primarily
associated with increased VOI sales, (ii) $21 million
of additional commission expense associated with increased VOI
sales, (iii) $12 million of incremental marketing
expenses to support sales efforts, (iv) $5 million of
incremental costs primarily incurred to fund additional staffing
needs to support continued growth in the business and
(v) $4 million of increased costs associated with the
remediation of one of our completed VOI resorts.
Avis Budget Group (formerly, Vehicle Rental)
Revenues increased $127 million (10%), while EBITDA
decreased $17 million (13%) in second quarter 2006 as
compared with second quarter 2005. We experienced increased
demand for vehicle rentals throughout the quarter and achieved
higher car rental pricing in the United States and
internationally, but EBITDA margin comparisons were negatively
impacted by higher fleet and interest costs.
Revenues generated by our domestic car rental operations
increased $115 million (11%) during 2006, which was
comprised of an $89 million (11%) increase in T&M
revenue and a $26 million (14%) increase in ancillary
revenues. The increase in T&M revenues was principally
driven by a 10% increase in T&M revenue per day and a 1%
increase in the number of days a car was rented. We expect to
realize continuing year-over-year price increases for the
remainder of 2006 as we seek to offset the impact of higher
fleet costs and interest rates, which we began to experience in
the second half of 2005. Fleet depreciation, interest and lease
charges increased $48 million (15%) in 2006 primarily due
to an increase of 2% in the average size of our domestic rental
fleet and increased per-unit fleet costs for model-year 2006
vehicles as compared to model-year 2005 vehicles. However, Avis
Budget Car Rental issued $1,875 million of
non-vehicle-backed debt in April 2006 and used the proceeds to
reduce our vehicle-related borrowings, which reduced
vehicle-related interest expense, and benefited EBITDA, by
approximately $20 million in second quarter 2006.
The $26 million increase in ancillary revenues was due
primarily to (i) a $9 million increase in gasoline
revenues, (ii) a $9 million increase in counter sales
of insurance and other items and (iii) an $8 million
increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues.
The increases in gasoline revenues and airport concession and
vehicle licensing revenues were substantially offset in EBITDA
by higher gasoline costs and airport concession and vehicle
licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory
authorities. EBITDA from our domestic car rental operations also
reflects (i) $24 million of incremental expenses
primarily representing inflationary increases in rent, salaries
and wages and other fixed costs,
29
(ii) $21 million of additional expenses primarily
associated with increased car rental volume and fleet size,
including vehicle maintenance and damage costs and
(iii) $17 million of incremental travel agency and
credit card commissions expense associated with the increased
T&M revenue. These cost increases were partially offset by
(i) a $6 million decrease in public liability and
property damage costs as a result of more favorable claims
experience and (ii) $3 million of incremental
intercompany interest income which is eliminated in
consolidation and has no impact on Cendants total revenues
or EBITDA.
Revenues generated by our international car rental operations
increased $29 million (19%) due to a $21 million (20%)
increase in car rental T&M revenue and an $8 million
(17%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M
revenue was principally driven by a 17% increase in the number
of days a car was rented and a 3% increase in T&M revenue
per day. The favorable effect of incremental T&M revenue
was partially offset in EBITDA by $12 million (35%) of
increased fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges
principally resulting from an increase of 17% in the average
size of our international rental fleet and increased per-unit
fleet costs. The $8 million increase in ancillary revenues
was primarily due to an increase in counter sales of insurance
and other items. EBITDA also reflects $18 million of higher
operating expenses primarily due to increased car rental volume
and other variable costs incurred to support such volume. The
increases discussed above include $17 million of revenue
resulting from our acquisitions of international franchisees
during or subsequent to second quarter 2005. These acquisitions
had no incremental impact on EBITDA in second quarter 2006 as
compared with the same period in 2005.
Budget truck rental revenues decreased $17 million (12%) in
2006 due to a $17 million (14%) decrease in T&M
revenue, which reflects an 11% decrease in rental days and a 4%
decrease in T&M revenue per day. Despite a 6% reduction in
the average size of our truck rental fleet, which resulted from
our efforts to focus on newer and more efficient trucks, we
incurred $6 million of incremental fleet depreciation,
interest and lease charges primarily due to higher per-unit
fleet costs and lower proceeds received on the disposal of older
trucks.

Net revenues and total expenses increased $254 million (3%)
and $443 million (6%), respectively, in the six months
ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in
2005. Such increases reflect (i) the acquisitions of
businesses during or subsequent to the six months ended
June 30, 2005, (ii) organic growth within our Avis
Budget Group and Timeshare Resorts segments, (iii) an
organic decrease in revenue within our Realogy segment and
(iv) other items discussed below.
The businesses that we acquired during or subsequent to the six
months ended June 30, 2005 contributed to the

The largest contributor to organic revenue growth
period-over-period was our Avis Budget Group segment, reflecting
strong demand at both our domestic and international operations.
We experienced greater car rental T&M revenue principally as
a result of an 8% increase in the number of days a car was
rented. Revenues at our Timeshare Resorts segment also grew
organically principally due to an 8% increase in tour flow, a
10% increase in revenue per guest and increased consumer finance
income, partially offset by the impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions. These revenue increases were
partially offset by an organic decrease in revenues at our
Realogy segment, reflecting a 15% decrease in the number of
homesale transactions from our third-party franchisees and a 16%
decrease in the number of homesale transactions within our real
estate brokerage business. Expenses also increased as a result
of organic revenue growth discussed above (which added
additional volume related expenses), inflationary and other
increases in fixed costs within our real estate brokerage
business, higher vehicle and interest costs within Avis Budget Group, additional
marketing investments and an accrual related to local taxes
payable in certain international jurisdictions related to our
European vacation rental operations, which is recorded within general
and administrative expenses. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease in commission expense paid
to real estate agents of our real estate brokerage business and
incentive-based compensation costs.
Additionally, the revenue and expense increases were partially
offset by the absence of one month of revenue generated and
expenses incurred by our former mortgage business, which was
disposed of on January 31, 2005. Our former mortgage
business contributed revenues of $46 million and expenses
of $49 million, excluding a $180 million non-cash
impairment charge, to our results during January 2005.
The period-over-period increase in total expenses also reflects:
(i) an increase of $122 million in interest expense
primarily relating to the absence in 2006 of a $73 million
reversal of accrued interest during first quarter 2005
associated with the resolution of amounts due under a litigation
settlement reached in 1999 and interest expense incurred on
$1,875 million of borrowings by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC
in second quarter 2006 and (ii) $85 million of
expenses we incurred in 2006 resulting from the execution of our
separation plan. Such increases were partially offset by the
absence in 2006 of: (i) a $180 million non-cash
impairment charge relating to the PHH spin-off and
(ii) charges aggregating $40 million primarily
relating to restructuring activities undertaken following the
PHH spin-off and initial public offering of Wright Express.
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 39.0% and
40.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2006
was primarily due to: (i) the non-deductibility of the
valuation charge associated with the PHH spin-off in 2005
partially offset by one time tax benefits of foreign tax
structuring in 2005. As a result of the above-mentioned items,
income from continuing operations decreased $103 million
(29%).
Income from discontinued operations increased $25 million,
which primarily reflects (i) the absence in 2006 of net
losses of $4 million and $21 million incurred in 2005
related to our former fuel card business, Wright Express, and
our former fleet leasing and appraisal businesses, respectively
(these businesses were disposed in first quarter 2005) and
(ii) an increase of $10 million in net income
generated by Travelport in the six months ended June 30,
2006. These increases were partially offset by the absence of
net income of $10 million generated in the six months ended
June 30, 2005 by our former Marketing Services division,
which was disposed in October 2005.
The net loss we recognized on the disposal of discontinued
operations increased $848 million period-over-period, which
reflects a non-cash impairment charge of approximately
$1.0 billion recognized in second quarter 2006 to reflect
the difference between Travelports carrying value and its
estimated fair value, less costs to dispose and the absence of a
net loss of $133 million incurred in 2005, which includes
PHH valuation and transaction-related charges of
$312 million, partially offset by a $179 million gain
recognized in connection with the initial public offering of
Wright Express.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we also recorded
non-cash charges of $103 million ($64 million, after
tax) to reflect the cumulative effect of accounting changes as a
result of our adoption of (i) SFAS No. 152,
Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing
Transactions, and American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position
No. 04-2,
Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions
on January 1, 2006, which resulted in a non-cash charge of
$65 million after tax, and
(ii) SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based
Payment, on January 1, 2006, which resulted in a
non-cash credit of $1 million after tax.
As a result of the above-mentioned items, net income decreased $990 million.

Not meaningful. |
(a) |
Our former mortgage business was disposed in connection with the
spin-off of PHH in January 2005. EBITDA in the six months ended
June 30, 2005 includes a $180 million non-cash
valuation charge associated with the PHH spin-off. |
(b) |
Includes unallocated corporate overhead, the elimination of
transactions between segments and the results of operations of
certain non- strategic businesses. Additionally, the six months
ended June 30, 2005 include gains of $18 million on
the sale of Homestore, Inc. common stock. |
(c) |
The 2005 amount includes the reversal of $73 million of
accrued interest associated with the resolution of amounts due
under a litigation settlement reached in 1999. |
Realogy (formerly, Real Estate Services)
Revenues and EBITDA decreased $123 million (4%) and
$127 million (23%), respectively, for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005,
principally reflecting reduced homesale volumes, partially offset by
growth in the average
prices of homes sold and the impact of
acquisitions consummated during or subsequent to the six months
ended June 30, 2005.
Royalty revenue within our real estate franchise services
business decreased $23 million (9%) for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in
2005. Such decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a 15%
decrease in the number of homesale transactions from our
third-party franchisees and (ii) a decrease in the average
brokerage commission rate earned by our franchises, which
declined from 2.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2005
to 2.47% for the comparable period in 2006. These decreases were
partially offset by a 7% increase in the average price of homes
sold. In addition to royalties received from our third-party
franchisees, NRT continues to pay royalties to our real estate
franchise business. However, these intercompany royalties, which
approximated $169 million and $179 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are
eliminated in consolidation and therefore have no impact on this
segments revenues or EBITDA.
Revenues within our real estate brokerage business decreased
$165 million (6%) for the six months ended June 30,
2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. Such decrease is
primarily due to a reduction in commission revenue earned in
2006, partially offset by incremental revenues generated by
acquisitions made by NRT during or subsequent to January 1,
2005, which together contributed incremental revenues and EBITDA
of $147 million and $17 million, respectively, to 2006
operating results. Apart from these acquisitions, NRTs
revenues decreased $312 million (11%) in the six months
ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the six months ended
June 30, 2005. This decrease was substantially comprised of
reduced commission income earned on homesale transactions, which
was primarily driven by a 16% decline in the number of homesale
transactions, partially offset by a 6% increase in the average
price of homes sold. We believe the 16% decline in homesale
transactions is reflective of industry trends in the premium
coastal areas we serve, particularly Florida, California and New
England. EBITDA further reflects a decrease of $215 million
in commission expenses paid to real estate agents principally as
a result of the reduction in revenues earned on homesale
transactions.
Revenue within our relocation services business increased
$1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as
compared with the same period in 2005. Such increase was
primarily driven by $8 million of incremental management
fees and commissions earned in our international services
operations due to increased transaction volume. This increase was
32
partially offset by a $7 million decrease in domestic
revenue due to lower average fees and volume as well as lower
relocation referral volume.
Revenues from our title and settlement services business
increased $43 million (27%) for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005
primarily due to the acquisition of multiple title and
underwriting companies in Texas in a single transaction in
January 2006, which contributed $64 million of revenue and
$6 million of EBITDA to our 2006 operating results. This
increase was partially offset by a $24 million decline in
title and closing revenues principally from reduced resale and
refinancing volume consistent with the decline in overall
homesale transactions noted in the other real estate services
businesses.
Apart from NRTs acquisitions and real estate
agent commission expense, as well as the acquisition of the
title and underwriting companies in Texas, each of which is
discussed separately above, operating, marketing and administrative
expenses increased nominally period-over-period, reflecting (i) $13 million
of expenses incurred within our real estate brokerage business
primarily to support an increased number of offices,
(ii) $11 million of additional restructuring and separation
costs, period-over-period and (iii) $11 million of incremental expenses primarily
representing inflationary increases in rent, office
administration and other fixed costs within our real estate
brokerage business and (iv) a $5 million increase in
staffing and other personnel-related costs incurred within our
relocation business primarily to invest in service levels. These
increases were substantially offset by (i) $24 million of
cost savings within our real estate brokerage and relocation
businesses primarily relating to reductions in marketing
campaigns and incentive compensation as a result of reduced
profitability and (ii) an $13 million decrease in costs
within our title and settlement services business reflecting
reduced resale and refinance volume.
Hospitality Services
Revenues increased $68 million (9%), while EBITDA decreased
$31 million (14%), in the six months ended June 30,
2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. The revenue
increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand, offset by incremental deferred
camping revenues from our vacation rental activities. The
period-over-period EBITDA comparison was negatively impacted by
a tax accrual (recorded within general and administrative expenses) related to our European vacation rental
activities, which is discussed in greater detail below.
The operating results of our lodging business reflect the
acquisition of the management and franchise business of the
Wyndham Hotel chain in October 2005, which contributed
incremental revenue of $66 million to the six months ended
June 30, 2006 results, but had no effect on EBITDA
partially due to the timing of marketing spend. Included within
the $66 million of revenue generated by Wyndham is
approximately $52 million related to reimbursable expenses,
which has no impact on EBITDA. Apart from this acquisition,
revenues in our lodging business increased $14 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to a
$12 million (7%) increase in royalty, marketing and
reservation fund revenues and a $7 million increase in
revenues generated by our TripRewards loyalty program, partially
offset by the absence of a $7 million gain recognized in
the six months ended June 30, 2005 on the sale of a lodging
related investment. The $12 million increase in royalty,
marketing and reservation fund revenues was primarily due to a
10% increase in RevPAR, partially offset by a 3% decrease in
weighted average rooms available. The RevPAR increase reflects
(i) increases in both price and occupancy principally
attributable to an overall improvement in the economy lodging
segment in which our hotel brands primarily operate,
(ii) the termination of underperforming properties
throughout 2005 that did not meet our required quality standards
or their financial obligations to us and (iii) the
strategic assignment of personnel to field locations designed to
assist franchisees in improving their hotel operating
performance. The decrease in weighted average rooms available
reflects our termination of underperforming properties, as
discussed above, and the expiration or termination of franchise
agreements.
Revenues from our vacation exchange and rental activities
decreased $11 million (2%) in the six months ended
June 30, 2006. This decrease primarily resulted from a
$14 million (7%) decrease in revenues generated from our
European vacation rental activities which was due to
$13 million of deferred revenues on the rental of camping
properties which will be recognized later in 2006 upon the
arrival of campsite customers. In addition, foreign currency
exchange negatively impacted revenue by $7 million
period-over-period, which was substantially offset in EBITDA by
the mitigating impact of foreign exchange rates and foreign
exchange hedges on expenses. These decreases were partially
offset by $7 million of increased volume related revenues
generated from vacation rental activities at our non-camping
properties. Revenues from business activities within our legacy
RCI brand increased $3 million (1%) in the six months ended
June 30, 2006, primarily due to an $11 million (16%)
increase in other timeshare points and rental transaction
revenues, partially offset by (i) a $2 million (2%)
decrease in exchange and subscription fee revenues and
(ii) a $6 million (32%) decrease in other
transactional revenues. The increase in other timeshare points
and rental transaction revenues during 2006 was principally
driven by a 19% increase in points and rental transaction volume
and a 7% increase in the average price per rental transaction.
The decrease in exchange and subscription fee revenues in the
six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily driven by an
8% decrease in exchange transaction volumes and a 1% decrease in
the average exchange fee, partially offset
33
by a 4% increase in the average number of worldwide subscribers.
The $6 million decrease in other transactional revenues in
the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the
absence of a rebate, which we received in the six months ended
June 30, 2005, but was discontinued after the sale of our
Marketing Services division in October 2005. Revenue trends
reflect the continued shift in the RCI timeshare membership base
toward a greater mix of points members from traditional one-week
timeshare members.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately
$35 million (6%) in operating, marketing and administrative
expenses (excluding the impact of the acquisition discussed
above) principally resulting from (i) a $25 million
charge in the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to
local taxes payable in certain international jurisdictions,
(ii) an $11 million increase in marketing, consulting
and infrastructure costs incurred to support growth within our
vacation exchange and rental activities and (iii) a
$7 million increase in expenses used to fund marketing
related initiatives for our TripRewards loyalty program. These
increases were partially offset by a $12 million reduction
in incentive-based compensation expense.
Timeshare Resorts
Revenues and EBITDA increased $81 million (10%) and
$38 million (34%), respectively, in the six months ended
June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. The
operating results reflect organic growth in vacation ownership
sales and consumer finance income as well as the impact of the
adoption of SFAS No. 152. Exclusive of the estimated
impact of SFAS No. 152 on our results for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, revenues and EBITDA increased
$155 million (19%) and $28 million (25%), respectively.
Exclusive of the estimated impact of this accounting change, net
sales of VOIs at our vacation ownership business increased by an
estimated $141 million (23%) in the six months ended
June 30, 2006 principally driven by a 10% increase in
revenue per guest and an 8% increase in tour flow. Revenue per
guest benefited from higher pricing and tour
flow was positively impacted by the continued development of the
Companys in-house sales programs.
Revenues and EBITDA increased $25 million and
$22 million, respectively, in the six months ended
June 30, 2006 due to incremental net interest income earned
on contract receivables primarily due to growth in the
portfolio. Revenue and EBITDA comparisons were negatively
impacted by $11 million of income recorded in second
quarter 2005 in connection with the disposal of a parcel of land
that was no longer consistent with our development plans.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately
$124 million (18%) in operating, marketing and
administrative expenses primarily resulting from
(i) $42 million of increased cost of sales primarily
associated with increased VOI sales, (ii) $33 million
of additional commission expense associated with increased VOI
sales, (iii) $18 million of incremental marketing
expenses to support sales efforts, (iv) $13 million of
incremental costs primarily incurred to fund additional staffing
needs to support continued growth in the business,
(v) $6 million of additional vacation ownership
contract receivable provisions and (vi) $4 million of
increased costs associated with the remediation of one of our
completed VOI resorts.
Avis Budget Group (formerly, Vehicle Rental)
Revenues increased $281 million (11%), while EBITDA
decreased $28 million (14%) in the six months ended
June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. We
experienced increased demand for vehicle rentals throughout the
year and achieved higher car rental pricing in the United States
and internationally, but EBITDA margin comparisons were
negatively impacted by higher fleet and interest costs.
Revenues generated by our domestic car rental operations
increased $245 million (13%) during 2006, which was
comprised of a $197 million (13%) increase in T&M
revenue and a $48 million (14%) increase in ancillary
revenues. The increase in T&M revenue was principally
driven by a 6% increase in both the number of days a car was
rented and T&M revenue per day. We expect to realize
continuing year-over-year price increases for the remainder of
2006 as we seek to offset the impact of higher fleet costs and
interest rates, which we began to experience in the second half
of 2005. Fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges
increased $122 million (21%) in 2006 primarily due to
(i) an increase of 7% in the average size of our domestic
rental fleet and (ii) increased per-unit fleet costs for
model-year 2006 vehicles compared to model-year 2005 vehicles.
However, Avis Budget Car Rental issued
$1,875 million of non-vehicle-backed debt in April 2006 and
used the proceeds to reduce our vehicle-related borrowings,
which reduced vehicle-related interest expense, and benefited
EBITDA, by approximately $20 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2006.
The $48 million increase in ancillary revenues was due
primarily to (i) a $20 million increase in airport
concession and vehicle licensing revenues, the majority of which
was offset in EBITDA by higher airport concession and vehicle
licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory
authorities, (ii) a $15 million increase in gasoline
revenues and (iii) a $13 million increase in counter
sales of insurance and other items, which is inclusive of the
absence in 2006 of a $6 million settlement received from an
airport authority in first quarter 2005 in connection with the
mandated relocation of an Avis rental site. EBITDA from our
domestic car rental operations also reflects
(i) $54 million of additional expenses
34
primarily associated with increased car rental volume and fleet
size, including vehicle maintenance and damage costs,
(ii) $38 million of incremental expenses primarily
representing inflationary increases in rent, salaries and wages
and other fixed costs, (iii) $26 million of
incremental travel agency and credit card commissions expense
associated with increased T&M revenue and
(iv) $21 million of increased expenses associated with
higher gasoline costs. Such activity was partially offset by
(i) $14 million of incremental intercompany interest
income, which is eliminated in consolidation and has no impact
on Cendants total revenues or EBITDA, and (ii) a
$4 million decrease in public liability and property damage
costs as a result of more favorable claims experience.
Revenues generated by our international car rental operations
increased $55 million (19%) due to a $38 million (18%)
increase in car rental T&M revenue and a $17 million
(20%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M
revenue was principally driven by a 17% increase in the number
of days a car was rented and a slight increase in T&M
revenue per day. The favorable effect of incremental T&M
revenue was partially offset in EBITDA by $27 million
(39%) of increased fleet depreciation, interest and lease
charges principally resulting from an increase of 19% in the
average size of our international rental fleet. The
$17 million increase in ancillary revenues was due
primarily to (i) a $9 million increase in counter
sales of insurance and other items, (ii) a $5 million
increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues,
the majority of which was offset in EBITDA by higher airport
concession and vehicle licensing expenses remitted to airport
and other regulatory authorities, and (iii) a
$3 million increase in gasoline revenues. EBITDA also
reflects (i) $13 million of incremental expenses
primarily representing inflationary increases in rent, salaries
and wages and other fixed costs, (ii) $12 million of
higher operating expenses primarily due to increased car rental
volume and other variable costs incurred to support such volume
and (iii) $3 million of incremental travel agency and credit card
commissions expense associated with increased T&M revenue.
The increases discussed above also include
(i) $33 million of revenue and $4 million of
EBITDA losses resulting from our acquisitions of international
franchisees during or subsequent to second quarter 2005 and
(ii) the effect of favorable foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations which was more than offset in EBITDA by the
opposite impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations
on expenses.
Budget truck rental revenues decreased $19 million (8%) in
2006 primarily representing a $21 million (10%) decrease in
T&M revenue, which reflects a 9% decrease in rental days and
a slight decrease in T&M per day. Despite a 4% reduction in
the average size of our truck rental fleet, which resulted from
our efforts to focus on newer and more efficient trucks, we
incurred $13 million of incremental fleet depreciation,
interest and lease charges primarily due to higher per-unit
fleet costs and lower proceeds received on the disposal of older
trucks. Such decrease was partially offset by
(i) $13 million of lower operating expenses primarily
due to having a smaller and more efficient fleet, (ii) the
absence of a $6 million restructuring charge recorded in
first quarter 2005 which represented costs incurred in
connection with the closure of a reservation center and
unprofitable Budget truck rental locations, (iii) a
$3 million decrease in travel agency and credit card
commissions expense partially associated with decreased T&M
revenue and (iv) a $3 million decrease in our public
liability and property damage costs as a result of more
favorable claims experience.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We present separately the financial data of our management
programs. These programs are distinct from our other activities
as the assets are generally funded through the issuance of debt
that is collateralized by such assets. The income generated by
these assets is used, in part, to repay the principal and
interest associated with the debt. Cash inflows and outflows
relating to the generation or acquisition of such assets and the
principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are
classified as activities of our management programs. We believe
it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of our
management programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment
of such debt is the realization of such assets.

Total assets exclusive of assets under management programs
decreased $198 million principally due to (i) a
$561 million decrease in assets of discontinued operations
primarily due to a non-cash impairment charge of approximately
$1.0 billion recorded in connection with the sale of
Travelport, partially offset by an increase in cash attributable
to the operating results of Travelports foreign operations
and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates on Travelports assets and (ii) a decrease
of $289 million in cash and cash equivalents (see
Liquidity and Capital Resources-Cash Flows for a
detailed discussion). These decreases were partially offset by (i) a $346 million
increase in other current assets as a result of increased
activity within our timeshare business and the adoption of a new
accounting pronouncement related to timeshare transactions which
resulted in the deferral of greater amounts of costs and
revenues at June 30, 2006 as compared to December 31,
2005 (see Note 1 to our
35
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements),
(ii) $241 million of additional goodwill and other
intangibles primarily as a result of our acquisitions of real
estate brokerage operations, title companies and other
individually non-significant businesses during the six months
ended June 30, 2006 (see Note 4 to our Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements) and (iii) an
$80 million increase in trade receivables primarily as a
result of seasonality within our real estate and vehicle rental
businesses.
Total liabilities exclusive of liabilities under management
programs increased approximately $2.3 billion principally
due to (i) the issuance of $1,000 million of fixed and
floating rate notes and completion of an $875 million term
loan by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC in April 2006 (see
Liquidity and Capital Resources-Debt and Financing
Arrangements for a detailed account of the change in our
long-term debt), (ii) a $257 million increase in
liabilities of discontinued operations due to increases in
Travelports deferred income and amounts due to travel
suppliers resulting primarily from seasonality in the travel
industry and (iii) a $225 million increase in deferred
income primarily due to increased activity within our timeshare
business and the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement
related to timeshare transactions, as discussed above.
Assets under management programs increased approximately
$1.3 billion primarily as a result of approximately
$1.4 billion of net additions to our vehicle rental fleet
reflecting current and projected increases in demand, partially
offset by a $402 million decrease in amounts due from
vehicle manufacturers.
Liabilities under management programs decreased
$422 million, reflecting a $778 million decrease in
outstanding borrowings within our vehicle rental business due to
the repayment of vehicle-backed debt with a portion of the
proceeds from the issuance of fixed and floating rate notes and
term loan borrowings, discussed above, partially offset by the
issuance of floating rate notes to support the acquisition of
vehicles. Such decrease was partially offset by
(i) $149 million of additional borrowings within our
timeshare business related to the securitization of timeshare
receivables and the development of timeshare properties and
(ii) a $95 million increase in deferred income taxes.
See Liquidity and Capital Resources-Debt and Financing
Arrangements for a detailed account of the change in our
debt related to management programs.
Stockholders equity decreased $790 million primarily
due to a net loss of $684 million (including a non-cash
impairment charge of approximately $1.0 billion in
connection with the sale of Travelport) in the six months ended
June 30, 2006. We also repurchased $243 million
(approximately 14 million shares) of Cendant common stock
and paid $107 million of dividends. Such decreases were
partially offset by a $149 million increase in accumulated
other comprehensive income related to unrealized gains
on cash flow hedges and foreign currency translation adjustments
and $45 million related to the exercise of employee stock
options (including a $7 million tax benefit).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and our
ability to generate cash through operations and financing
activities, as well as available funding arrangements and
committed credit facilities, each of which is discussed below.
CASH FLOWS
At June 30, 2006, we had $441 million of cash on hand,
a decrease of $289 million from $730 million at
December 31, 2005. The following table summarizes such
decrease:

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 we generated
$510 million less cash from operating activities in
comparison to the same period in 2005. This change principally
reflects (i) $152 million of incremental tax payments
made in the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to
2005, (ii) the absence in 2005 of $106 million of cash
inflows generated by our former mortgage business during the one
month that we owned such business in 2005, (iii) a
$32 million payment made in first quarter 2006 in
connection with the settlement of the PRIDES litigation,
(iv) a decrease in operating results in 2006 and
(v) increased working capital requirements during 2006.
36
We used $171 million more cash in investing activities
during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with
the same period in 2005. Such change primarily reflects
(i) the absence of $958 million of net proceeds
received on the initial public offering of Wright Express in the
six months ended June 30, 2005 and (ii) the use of
$176 million more cash to fund acquisitions in 2006. Such
decreases were partially offset by the activities of our
management programs, which used approximately $1.1 billion
less cash in the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily
due to a decrease in amounts expended for vehicle purchases by
our vehicle rental business, reflecting our strategy to hold
vehicles for a longer duration. We anticipate aggregate capital
expenditure investments for 2006 to be approximately
$340 million, which does not include capital expenditures
to be made by Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport following their
separation from Cendant.
We generated approximately $1.1 billion less cash from
financing activities during the six months ended June 30,
2006 in comparison with the same period in 2005. Such change
principally reflects (i) activities of our management
programs, which generated $2.9 billion less cash in the six
months ended June 30, 2006, primarily reflecting a decrease
in net borrowings by our vehicle rental business, consistent
with the reduction in vehicle purchases discussed above and
(ii) a $424 million reduction in borrowings under our
revolving credit facility, which were utilized to fund
acquisitions during 2005. See Liquidity and Capital
ResourcesDebt and Financing Arrangements for a
detailed discussion of financing activities during the six
months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was partially
offset by (i) an $1,875 million increase in borrowings
in April 2006 by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, and (ii) the
absence in 2006 of a $259 million reduction to cash in 2005
associated with the spin-off of PHH. See Liquidity and
Capital ResourcesDebt and Financing Arrangements for
a more detailed discussion of these financing arrangements.
DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
At June 30, 2006, we had approximately $15.7 billion
of indebtedness (including corporate indebtedness of
approximately $5.6 billion and debt under management
programs of approximately $10.1 billion).

consists of (i) $1,000 million of unsecured fixed rate
notes and floating rate senior notes and (ii) an
$875 million secured floating rate term loan under a senior
credit facility. The floating rate term loan and floating rate
senior notes bear interest at three month LIBOR plus
125 basis points and three month LIBOR plus 250 basis
points, respectively. |

$89 million of net gains resulting from the termination of
interest rate hedges. As of December 31, 2005, the balance
represents $153 million of net
mark-to-market
adjustments on current interest rate hedges, partially offset by
$106 million of net gains resulting from the termination of
interest rate hedges. |

The change in the balance at June 30, 2006 principally
reflects the payment of vehicle-backed notes with a portion of
the proceeds from the $1,875 million of fixed and floating
rate financings completed by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC in
April 2006, partially offset by the issuance of floating rate
vehicle-backed notes at various interest rates to support the
acquisition of vehicles used in our vehicle rental business. |
As previously discussed, we completed the spin-offs of Realogy
and Wyndham on July 31, 2006. The following table reflects
debt under management programs as of June 30, 2006, on a

This debt was collateralized by assets of our former timeshare
business. We no longer have access to such assets and in
connection with our spin-off of Wyndham, we repaid
$600 million of these borrowings in July 2006. Such amount
represents outstanding borrowings under our asset-linked
facility as of June 30, 2006, which was terminated
concurrent with such repayment. |
(b) |
|
This debt was collateralized by assets of our former relocation
business. We no longer have access to such assets, nor are we
obligated to pay this debt. |
(c) |
|
This debt was collateralized by assets of our former vacation
rental business. We no longer have access to such assets, nor

Outstanding borrowings include $200 million under our
$2.0 billion revolving credit facility. The outstanding
borrowings above do not include $265 million of borrowings
for which our Travelport subsidiary is the primary obligor. This
amount is included within liabilities of discontinued operations
on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. In addition to the
letters of credit issued as of June 30, 2006, the revolving
credit facility contains the committed capacity to issue an
additional $1,340 million in letters of credit. Total
capacity under this program was reduced from $3.5 to
$2.0 billion in 2006. We terminated this facility on
July 31, 2006. See Note 18 to our Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements for further information. |
(b) |
|
This secured revolving credit facility was entered into by Avis
Budget Car Rental, LLC in April 2006, has a five year term and
currently bears interest at one month LIBOR plus 150 basis
points. |
(c) |
|
Final maturity date is July 2010. |
During second quarter 2006, Realogy entered into (i) a
$1,650 million credit facility consisting of a
$1,050 million revolving credit facility and a
$600 million term loan facility and (ii) a
$1,325 million interim loan facility. No amounts were
outstanding under any of these facilities at June 30, 2006.
We do not have any obligations related to these facilities, nor
do we have access to these facilities, as they were entered into
by Realogy, which was spun-off on July 31, 2006. During
July 2006, Wyndham entered into (i) a
$1,200 million credit facility consisting of a
$900 million revolving credit facility and a
$300 million term loan facility and (ii) an
$800 million interim loan facility. Also, on July 11,
2006,
38
Wyndham issued $550 million aggregate principal amount of timeshare-loan-backed
notes. We do not have any obligations related to these
facilities, nor do we have access to these facilities, as they
were entered into by Wyndham, which was spun-off on
July 31, 2006.
The following table presents available funding under our debt
arrangements related to our management programs at June 30,
2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the completion
of the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham.

assets. |
(c) |

At June 30, 2006, we also had $400 million of
availability for public debt or equity issuances under a shelf
registration statement.
LIQUIDITY RISK
We believe that access to our existing financing arrangements is
sufficient to meet liquidity requirements for the foreseeable
future. In connection with the separation, our financing
arrangements have been revised or replaced so that our financing
arrangements will remain sufficient to meet our liquidity needs
for the foreseeable future.
Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable
conditions in the vehicle rental industry. Additionally, our
liquidity as it relates to management programs, could be
adversely affected by (i) the deterioration in the
performance of the underlying assets of such programs and
(ii) increased costs associated with the principal
financing program for our vehicle rental operations if General
Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company is not able to honor
its obligations to repurchase the related vehicles. Access to
our credit facilities may be limited if we were to fail to meet
certain financial ratios or as a result of the restructuring of
such facilities resulting from our separation or under the terms
of such restructured facilities.
Additionally, we monitor the maintenance of required financial
ratios and, as of June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with
all financial covenants under our credit and securitization
facilities.
In connection with our repurchase of substantially all of our
outstanding corporate debt and the termination of our principal
credit facilities, our credit ratings have been withdrawn by Moodys
Investors Services,
Standard & Poors and Fitch Ratings (other than
Moodys ratings of Cendants term debt maturing in August
2006).
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Our future contractual obligations have not changed
significantly from the amounts reported within our 2005 Annual
Report on
Form 10-K filed on
March 1, 2006, with the exception of our commitment to
purchase vehicles, which decreased from the amount previously
disclosed by approximately $3.9 billion to approximately
$10.5 billion at June 30, 2006 as a result of
purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Any
changes to our obligations related to corporate indebtedness and
debt under management programs are presented above within the
section entitled Liquidity and Capital Resources
Debt and Financing Arrangements and also within
Notes 11 and 12 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements. The following table summarizes our future
contractual obligations for the twelve month periods beginning
on July 1 of each of the years set forth on a pro forma
basis after giving effect to (i) the spin-offs of
39
Realogy and Wyndham, (ii) the repayment of
$2.5 billion of corporate debt in July 2006 and
(iii) the pre-funding of $950 million of corporate
debt in July 2006 and the repayment of borrowings under our
asset-linked facility.

and floating rate senior notes and an $875 million secured
floating rate term loan and (ii) $63 million of
long-term debt that was not tendered by the holders in
connection with our execution of a tender offer for
$2.6 billion of our corporate debt. Also, does not include
$1,900 million of borrowings drawn by Travelport in
July 2006 under its interim financing facility. See
Note 18 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
for further information on this facility. |
(b) |
|
Represents debt under management programs (including related
party debt due to Cendant Rental Car Funding), which was issued
to support the purchase of assets under management programs by
our vehicle rental subsidiary. |
(c) |
|
Primarily represents commitments to purchase vehicles from
either General Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company. These
commitments are subject to the vehicle manufacturers satisfying
their obligations under the repurchase agreements. The purchase
of such vehicles is financed through the issuance of debt under
management programs in addition to cash received upon the sale
of vehicles primarily under repurchase programs. |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The results of the majority of our recurring operations are
recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies
that are not particularly subjective, nor complex. However, in
presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, we are required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions that we are
required to make pertain to matters that are inherently
uncertain as they relate to future events. Presented within the
section entitled Critical Accounting Policies of our
2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K are the
accounting policies that we believe require subjective and/or
complex judgments that could potentially affect 2006 reported
results (goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets,
income taxes and financial instruments). There have been no
significant changes to those accounting policies or our
assessment of which accounting policies we would consider to be
critical accounting policies.
During 2006, we adopted the following standards as a result of
the issuance of new accounting pronouncements:
|
|
|
|
|
SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions and Statement of Position
No. 04-2,
Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions |
|
|
|
SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment |
We will adopt the following recently issued standard as required:
|
|
|
|
|
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes |
For detailed information regarding these pronouncements and the
impact thereof on our business, see Note 1 to our
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
MATTERS RELATED TO PHH CORPORATIONS FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
We have become aware through notifications required under the
separation agreement between Cendant and PHH Corporation and
through disclosures in PHHs Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on
July 21, 2006, that PHH has concluded that its audited and
unaudited financial statements for periods prior to
September 30, 2005 (Prior Financial Statements)
should not be relied upon because of errors in the Prior
Financial Statements. In that
Form 8-K, PHH
identified what it described as certain accounting errors
related to mortgage re-insurance premiums that may result in
changes to its Prior Financial Statements, as well as additional
accounting matters that PHH was continuing to evaluate. At the
present time, since PHH has neither re-filed its Prior Financial
Statements nor, to our knowledge, completed its evaluation of
the additional accounting matters, we are unable to complete our
assessment of whether and how the matters identified by PHH
might affect our previously filed financial statements.
We do not believe that the errors identified by PHH in
PHHs Prior Financial Statements relating to mortgage
re-insurance premiums would have a material impact on our
financial results for the relevant periods. Furthermore, the
errors described in PHHs
Form 8-K filed on
July 21, 2006 would appear to impact the timing of
recognition in earnings, potentially
40
increasing our net income as reported for 2002, 2003 and 2004
(the last three years prior to the spin-off of PHH from Cendant)
and decreasing net income as reported for 2001 and prior years.
We will continue to assess additional information as and when it
becomes available.
|
|
Item 3. |
Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risks |
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis
that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values, and
cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and
decrease) in interest and foreign currency rates. We used
June 30, 2006 market rates to perform a sensitivity
analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The
estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate
yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined, through
such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates and prices on our earnings, fair
values and cash flows would not be material.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
|
|
(a) |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with
the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of
the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective. |
|
|
(b) |
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There have
been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
(as such term is defined in rules
13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report
relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting. |

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
|
|
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings. |
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as
of July 27, 2006 among Cendant Corporation, Realogy
Corporation, Wyndham Worldwide Corporation and Travelport, Inc.,
Realogy will assume 62.5% and Wyndham Worldwide will assume
37.5% (or, if the sale of Travelport is not completed, Realogy
will assume 50%, Wyndham Worldwide will assume 30% and
Travelport will assume 20%) of certain contingent and other
corporate liabilities of the Company or its subsidiaries, which
are not primarily related to any of the respective businesses of
Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide, Travelport and/or the Companys
vehicle rental operations, in each case incurred on or prior to
the earlier of December 31, 2006 or the date of the
separation of Travelport from the Company including the
litigation described below.
After the April 15, 1998 announcement of the discovery of
accounting irregularities in the former CUC International, Inc.
(CUC) business units, and prior to the issuance of
this information statement, approximately 70 lawsuits claiming
to be class actions and other proceedings were commenced against
Cendant and other defendants, of which a number of lawsuits have
been settled. Approximately six lawsuits remain unresolved in
addition to the matters described below.
In Re Cendant Corporation Litigation, Master File
No. 98-1664 (WHW) (D.N.J.) (the Securities
Action), is a consolidated class action brought on behalf
of all persons who acquired securities of Cendant and CUC,
except the PRIDES securities, between May 31, 1995 and
August 28, 1998. Named as defendants are Cendant; 28
current and former officers and directors of Cendant, CUC and
HFS Incorporated; and Ernst & Young LLP, CUCs
former independent accounting firm.
The Amended and Consolidated Class Action Complaint in the
Securities Action alleges that, among other things, the lead
plaintiffs and members of the class were damaged when they
acquired securities of Cendant and CUC because, as a result of
accounting irregularities, Cendants and CUCs
previously issued financial statements were materially false and
misleading, and the allegedly false and misleading financial
statements caused the prices of Cendants and CUCs
securities to be inflated artificially.
On December 7, 1999, Cendant announced that it had reached
an agreement to settle claims made by class members in the
Securities Action for approximately $2,850 million in cash
plus 50 percent of any net recovery Cendant receives from
Ernst & Young as a result of Cendants
cross-claims against Ernst & Young as described below.
This settlement received all necessary court approvals and was
fully funded by Cendant on May 24, 2002.
On January 25, 1999, Cendant asserted cross-claims against
Ernst & Young that alleged that Ernst & Young
failed to follow professional standards to discover and
recklessly disregarded the accounting irregularities and is
therefore liable to Cendant for damages in unspecified amounts.
The cross-claims assert claims for breaches of Ernst &
Youngs audit agreements with Cendant, negligence, breaches
of fiduciary duty, fraud and contribution. On July 18,
2000, Cendant filed amended cross-claims against
Ernst & Young asserting the same claims.
On March 26, 1999, Ernst & Young filed
cross-claims against Cendant and certain of Cendants
present and former officers and directors that alleged that any
failure by Ernst & Young to discover the accounting
irregularities was caused by misrepresentations and omissions
made to Ernst & Young in the course of its audits and
other reviews of Cendants financial statements.
Ernst & Youngs cross-claims assert claims for
breach of contract, fraud, fraudulent inducement, negligent
misrepresentation and contribution. Damages in unspecified
amounts are sought for the costs to Ernst & Young
associated with defending the various shareholder lawsuits, lost
business it claims is attributable to Ernst &
Youngs association with Cendant, and for harm to
Ernst & Youngs reputation. On June 4, 2001,
Ernst & Young filed amended cross-claims against
Cendant asserting the same claims.
Two other proceedings, Semerenko v. Cendant Corp.,
et al., Civ. Action No. 98-5384 (D.N.J.), and
P. Schoenfield Asset Management LLC v. Cendant Corp.,
et al., Civ. Action No. 98-4734 (D.N.J.) (the
ABI Actions), were initially commenced in October
and November of 1998, respectively, on behalf of a putative
class of persons who purchased securities of American Bankers
Insurance Group, Inc. (ABI) between January 27,
1998 and October 13, 1998. Named as defendants are the
Company, four former CUC officers and directors and
Ernst & Young. The complaints in the ABI actions, as
amended on February 8, 1999, assert violations of
Sections 10(b), 14(e) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The
plaintiffs allege that they purchased shares of ABI common stock
at prices artificially inflated by the accounting irregularities
after we announced a cash tender offer for 51% of ABIs
outstanding shares of common stock in January 1998. Plaintiffs
also allege that after the disclosure of the accounting
irregularities, we misstated our intention to complete the
tender offer and a second step merger pursuant to which the
remaining shares of ABI stock were to be acquired by us.
Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory
damages. On April 4, 2006, we entered into an agreement to
settle the ABI Actions for $22 million. A hearing on the
settlement occurred on July 24, 2006 and we expect the
Court to approve the settlement.
42
In addition, pursuant to the Separation and Distribution
Agreement, Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport have agreed
to assume and retain all of the liabilities primarily related to
each of their respective businesses and operations, including
litigation primarily related to each of their businesses where
Cendant is a named party, such as the litigation described below.
In Re Homestore.com Securities Litigation,
No. 10-CV-11115 (MJP) (U.S.D.C., C.D. Cal.). On
November 15, 2002, Cendant and Richard A. Smith, the Vice
Chairman and President of Realogy, were added as defendants in a
purported class action. The 26 other defendants in such action
include Homestore.com, Inc., certain of its officers and
directors and its auditors. Such action was filed on behalf of
persons who purchased stock of Homestore.com (an Internet-based
provider of residential real estate listings) between
January 1, 2000 and December 21, 2001. The complaint
in this action alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Exchange Act based on purported misconduct in
connection with the accounting of certain revenues in financial
statements published by Homestore during the class period. On
March 7, 2003, the court granted our motion to dismiss lead
plaintiffs claim for failure to state a claim upon which
relief could be granted and dismissed the complaint, as against
us and Mr. Smith, with prejudice. On March 8, 2004,
the court entered final judgment, thus allowing for an appeal to
be made regarding its decision dismissing the complaint against
Cendant, Mr. Smith and others. Oral argument of the appeal
took place on February 6, 2006. On June 30, 2006, the
Ninth Circuit issued its decision. The Ninth Circuit affirmed
the district courts dismissal of the complaint as against
Cendant and Mr. Smith, but remanded the matter to the
district court so that plaintiff could have the opportunity to
seek leave to file an amended complaint and attempt to state a
claim against Cendant and Mr. Smith in accordance with the
standard for liability set forth in the Ninth Circuits
decision.
We cannot give any assurance as to the final outcome or
resolution of these unresolved proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our 2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K includes
a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The information
presented below modifies and supplements those risk factors, as
appropriate.
If any of the events described in the risk factors below
occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and
prospects could be materially adversely affected.
Risks related to our indebtedness
We have a substantial amount of debt which could impair
our financial condition and adversely affect our ability to
react to changes in our business.
As of June 30, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to the completion of the Separation Plan, our total debt
would have been approximately $9 billion and we would
have had approximately $1 billion of available borrowing
capacity under our senior secured credit facility.
Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
limiting our ability to borrow additional amounts to fund
working capital, capital expenditures, debt service
requirements, execution of our business strategy, acquisitions
and other purposes; |
|
|
|
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow
from operations to pay principal and interest on our debt, which
would reduce the funds available to us for other purposes; |
|
|
|
making us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general
economic, industry and competitive conditions, in government
regulation and in our business by limiting our flexibility in
planning for, and making it more difficult for us to react
quickly to, changing conditions; and |
|
|
|
exposing us to risks inherent in interest rate fluctuations
because some of our borrowings, including borrowings under our
new senior secured credit facility, are at variable rates of
interest, which could result in higher interest expenses in the
event of increases in interest rates. |
Despite our current indebtedness levels, we may still be
able to incur substantially more debt. This could further
exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial
indebtedness.
Subject to specified limitations, the indenture governing our
senior unsecured notes limits, but does not prohibit, us or our
subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness in the
future. As of June 30, 2006, on a pro forma basis after
giving effect to the completion of the Separation Plan, our
senior secured credit facility provided us commitments for
additional borrowings of approximately $1 billion, in the
aggregate. All of those borrowings would be secured and the
lenders under our new senior secured credit facility would have
a prior claim to our assets that secure such indebtedness. If
new debt is added to our current debt levels, the risks
described above in the previous risk factor could intensify.
43
Restrictive covenants in agreements and instruments
governing our debt may adversely affect our ability to operate
our business.
The indenture governing our senior unsecured notes and the
agreement governing our senior secured credit facility contain,
and our future debt instruments may contain, various provisions
that limit our ability to, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
incur additional debt; |
|
|
|
provide guarantees in respect of obligations of other persons; |
|
|
|
issue redeemable stock and preferred stock; |
|
|
|
pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital
stock; |
|
|
|
prepay, redeem or repurchase debt; |
|
|
|
make loans, investments and capital expenditures; |
|
|
|
incur liens; |
|
|
|
make distributions from our subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
sell assets and capital stock of our subsidiaries; and |
|
|
|
consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of
our assets to, another person. |
We require a significant amount of cash to service all of
our indebtedness and our ability to generate sufficient cash
depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our
control.
Our ability to make payments on and refinance our debt depends
on our ability to generate cash flow. To some extent, this is
subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to
certain financial, business and other factors, some of which are
beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from
operations at levels sufficient to permit us to pay principal,
premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, and our cash
needs may increase. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash
flow from operations to service our debt and meet our other cash
needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures,
sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or
restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the notes.
We may not be able to take any of these actions. We may not be
able to refinance our debt or sell additional debt or equity
securities or our assets on favorable terms, if at all,
particularly because of our high levels of debt and the
restrictions imposed by the agreement governing our senior
secured credit facility and the indenture governing our senior
unsecured notes on our ability to incur additional debt and use
the proceeds from asset sales. If we must sell our assets, it
may negatively affect our ability to generate revenue. The
inability to obtain additional financing could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and on our ability to
make scheduled payments on our debt.
If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we would be in
default and, as a result:
|
|
|
|
|
our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and
interest to be due and payable; |
|
|
|
the lenders under our senior secured credit facility could
terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose
against the assets securing their borrowings; and |
|
|
|
we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. |
Risks related to our business
The high level of competition in the vehicle rental
industry may lead to reduced rental volumes, downward pricing or
an inability to increase our prices, which could have a material
adverse impact on our results of operations.
The vehicle rental industry in which we operate is highly
competitive. We believe that price is one of the primary
competitive factors in the vehicle rental industry. Our
competitors, some of whom may have access to substantial
capital, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of
pricing. To the extent that we match competitors downward
pricing, it could have a material adverse impact on our results
of operations. To the extent that we do not match or remain
within a reasonable competitive margin of our competitors
pricing, it could also have a material adverse impact on our
results of operations, as we may lose rental volume. The
Internet has increased pricing transparency among rental car
companies by enabling cost- conscious customers to more easily
obtain and compare the rates available from various rental car
companies for any given trip. This transparency may increase the
prevalence and intensity of price competition in the future.
44
We face risks of increased fleet costs, both generally and
due to the possibility that automobile manufacturers could
change or cease their repurchase programs.
Vehicle depreciation represents approximately 26% of our
aggregate expenses and can vary from year to year based on the
prices at which we are able to purchase and dispose of rental
vehicles. For model years 2005 and 2004, approximately 99% of
the rental cars purchased for our domestic car fleet was the
subject of agreements requiring automobile manufacturers to
repurchase them. We refer to cars subject to such agreements as
program cars. Under these repurchase programs,
automobile manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified
price during a specified time period, typically subject to
certain car condition and mileage requirements. Repurchase
programs, therefore, enable us to determine, in advance, our
depreciation expense, which is a significant cost factor in our
car rental operations. Repurchase programs also limit the risk
to us that the market value of a car, at the time of its
disposition, will be less than its estimated residual (or
depreciated) value.
Automobile manufacturers may not continue to sell cars to us
subject to repurchase programs at all or on terms consistent
with past practice. Should the percentage of our car rental
fleet subject to repurchase programs decrease, we would expect
to bear increased risk relating to the residual market value of
our car rental fleet and car depreciation, which could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial condition. Under such a scenario, we would have to
find an alternate method for disposition of the additional
non-program cars, which could significantly increase our overall
fleet expenses and decrease our proceeds on sales. The overall
cost of cars subject to repurchase programs could also increase
if the manufacturers were to make changes to these programs,
particularly if such changes were to result in a decrease in the
repurchase price without a corresponding decrease to the
original purchase price. Repurchase programs also generally
provide us with flexibility to reduce the size of our fleet
rapidly in response to an economic downturn or changes in demand
by returning cars sooner than originally expected. This
flexibility may be reduced in the future to the extent the
percentage of program cars in our car rental fleet decreases or
this feature of repurchase programs is altered.
During 2005, approximately 82% of the cars acquired for our
U.S. car rental fleet were manufactured by either General
Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company. A default on any
repurchase agreement, particularly with respect to GM or Ford,
might leave us with a substantial unpaid claim against the
manufacturer with respect to program cars that were sold and
returned to the car manufacturer but for which we were not paid.
In addition, we might also incur potential additional expenses
if the prices at which we were able to dispose of program cars
were less than the specified prices under the repurchase
program. Any increased risk with respect to the likelihood of
these defaults could also impact our ability to finance the
purchase of cars to maintain our car rental fleet.
The relative strength of the used vehicle marketplace materially
impacts the costs of our rental cars and trucks not covered by
repurchase programs or trade-in agreements. We currently sell
these used vehicles through auctions, third party resellers and
other channels. These markets may not produce stable used
vehicle pricing in the future. Based on the number of used
trucks and non-program cars produced by our rental operations
annually, any downturn in the used vehicle marketplace could
have a material impact on our fleet holding costs and
profitability.
Our car rental business is dependent on airline passenger
traffic, and disruptions in travel patterns could harm our
business.
In 2005, we generated approximately 79% of our consolidated car
rental revenue from our corporate owned on-airport locations. As
a result, a decline in airline passenger traffic could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations. Events
that affect air travel could include work stoppages, military
conflicts, terrorist incidents or threats, pandemic diseases,
natural disasters or the response of governments to any of these
events. We also face increased costs of maintaining our
positions on-airport through increased competitive bidding and
minimum airport guarantees.
We are dependent on third party distribution channels, and
the success of our business depends in significant part on these
relationships.
The operators of third party distribution channels, through
which we generate approximately 44% of our domestic
reservations, generally can cancel or modify their agreements
with us upon relatively short notice. Changes in our pricing
agreements, commission schedules or arrangements with third
party distribution channels, the termination of our
relationships or a reduction in the transaction volume of such
channels could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Most of these
reservations are made in connection with GDS (Amadeus, Galileo,
Sabre and Worldspan), which aggregate reservations from various
sources. Our largest third party source of reservations (other
than from GDS) in 2005 was responsible for less than 2% of our
domestic reservations.
Our business is seasonal, and a disruption in rental
activity during our peak season could materially adversely
affect our results of operations.
In our business, the third quarter of the year has historically
been our strongest quarter due to the increased level of leisure
travel and household moving activity. In 2005, the third quarter
accounted for approximately 29% of our total revenue and
45
43% of our income before income taxes. Any occurrence that
disrupts rental activity during the third quarter could have a
disproportionately material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
An increase in interest rates would increase the cost of
servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability.
A significant amount of our borrowings, primarily borrowings
under our senior secured credit facility and our vehicle-backed
debt, bear interest at variable rates and expose us to interest
rate risk. If interest rates increase, whether because of an
increase in market interest rates or an increase in our own cost
of borrowing, our debt service obligations for our variable rate
indebtedness would increase even though the amount of borrowings
remained the same, and our net income could be materially
adversely affected. As of June 30, 2006, on a pro forma
basis after giving effect to the completion of the Separation
Plan and giving effect to our interest rate derivatives with
respect to the term loan, our total outstanding corporate debt
of approximately $1.9 billion included interest rate
sensitive debt of approximately $300 million (either by its
original terms or through the use of interest rate derivatives),
which had a weighted average interest rate of approximately
7.2% per annum. In addition, our total debt under
management programs of approximately $7.1 billion included
interest rate sensitive debt of approximately $2.4 billion
(either by its original terms or through the use of interest
rate derivatives), which had a weighted average interest rate of
approximately 4.6% per annum. During our seasonal borrowing
peak in 2005, outstanding interest rate sensitive debt totaled
approximately $2.5 billion, with a weighted average
interest rate of approximately 3.7% per annum.
We face risks arising from our heavy reliance on
communications networks and centralized information
systems.
We rely heavily on information systems, including our
reservation system, to accept reservations, process rental and
sales transactions, manage our fleet of vehicles, account for
our activities and otherwise conduct our business. We have
centralized our information systems, and we rely on
communications services providers to link our systems with the
business locations these systems serve. A failure of a major
system, or a major disruption of communications between the
system and the locations it serves, could cause a loss of
reservations, interfere with our ability to manage our fleet,
slow rental and sales processes and otherwise materially
adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively.
Our systems business continuity plans and insurance
programs are designed to mitigate such a risk, not to eliminate
it. In addition, because our systems contain information about
millions of individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain
the security of the data we hold, whether the result of our own
error or the malfeasance of others, could harm our reputation or
give rise to legal liabilities leading to lower revenue,
increased costs and other material adverse effects on our
results of operations.
We face risks related to liability and insurance.
Our businesses expose us to claims for personal injury, death
and property damage related to the use of our vehicles and for
workers compensation claims and other employment-related
claims by our employees. We may become exposed to uninsured
liability at levels in excess of our historical levels resulting
from unusually high losses or otherwise. In addition,
liabilities in respect of existing or future claims may exceed
the level of our reserves and/or our insurance, and we may not
have sufficient capital available to pay any uninsured claims.
Furthermore, insurance with unaffiliated carriers may not
continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms
or at all.
Environmental regulations could subject us to liability
for fines or damages.
We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign
environmental laws and regulations in connection with our
operations, including, among other things, with respect to the
ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum
products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and motor and waste
oils. We have established a compliance program for our tank
systems that is intended to ensure that the tanks are properly
registered with the state or other jurisdiction in which the
tanks are located and have been either replaced or upgraded to
meet applicable leak detection and spill, overfill, corrosion
protection and vapor recovery requirements. These tank systems
may not at all times remain free from undetected leaks, and the
use of these tanks may result in significant spills.
We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply
with environmental laws and regulations, including, among
others, expenditures for the cleanup of contamination at our
owned and leased properties, as well as contamination at other
locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified.
Our compliance with existing or future environmental laws and
regulations may, however, require material expenditures by us or
otherwise have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Changes in the U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory
environment that affect our operations, including laws and
regulations relating to the insurance products we sell, consumer
privacy, data security and insurance rates, could disrupt our
business, increase our expenses or otherwise have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations.
We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations in the
United States and the other countries and jurisdictions in which
we operate, and changes in the level of government regulation of
our business have the potential to materially alter
46
our business practices or our profitability. Depending on the
jurisdiction, those changes may come about through new
legislation, the issuance of new laws and regulations or changes
in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations by a
court, regulatory body or governmental official.
The optional insurance products, including, but not limited to,
supplemental liability insurance, personal accident insurance
and personal effects protection, offered to renters providing
various insurance coverages in our domestic vehicle rental
operations are regulated under state laws governing the
licensing of such products. In our international car rental
operations, our offering of optional products providing
insurance coverage historically has not been regulated.
Any changes in U.S. or foreign law that change our
operating requirements with respect to optional insurance
products could increase our costs of compliance or make it
uneconomical to offer such products, which would lead to a
reduction in revenue. If customers decline to purchase
supplemental liability insurance products through us as a result
of any changes in these laws or otherwise, our results of
operations could be materially adversely affected.
In many states, we are allowed to recover various licensing
costs, concession costs and other fees that we are required to
remit to government agencies, including airport authorities. Our
practice is to show any such charge as an additional separately
stated item on the customer invoice, to clearly disclose the
existence of these fees to consumers in all distribution
channels and to provide an estimated total price inclusive of
surcharges and taxes. Prior opinions from the Federal Trade
Commission and various courts support this business practice and
we believe these pass-through charges, where imposed, are
lawful. However, the Attorneys General of Virginia, Montana and
Massachusetts have questioned this practice, and we cannot
assure you that these or other Attorneys General may not bring
an enforcement proceeding against us with respect to these
matters.
We may be held responsible by third parties, regulators or
courts for the actions of, or failures to act by, our
franchisees, which exposes us to possible fines, other
liabilities and bad publicity.
Our franchised locations are independently owned and operated.
Our agreements with our franchisees require that they comply
with all laws and regulations applicable to their businesses,
including our internal quality, image, service and performance
policies and standards. Under our franchise agreements, our
franchisees retain control over the employment and management of
all personnel. Third parties, regulators or courts may seek to
hold us responsible for the actions of, or failures to act by,
our franchisees. Although we maintain the right to monitor the
operations of franchisees and have the ability to terminate
franchise agreements for failure to adhere to contracted
operational standards, we are unlikely to detect all problems.
Moreover, there are occasions when our and our franchisees
activities may not be clearly distinguishable. It is our policy
to vigorously seek to be dismissed from any such claims and to
pursue indemnity for any adverse decisions. Failure to comply
with laws and regulations by our franchisees may expose us to
liability and damages that may adversely affect our business.
Risks related to the separation
We have no recent operating history as a stand-alone
vehicle rental company.
The financial information included in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q does not
reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows we would have achieved as a stand-alone vehicle rental
company during the periods presented or those we will achieve in
the future. This is primarily a result of the following factors:
|
|
|
|
|
Prior to the completion of the Separation Plan, the Vehicle
Rental business was operated by Cendant as part of its broader
corporate organization, rather than as an independent company.
Cendant or one of its affiliates performed various corporate
functions for our vehicle rental business, including, but not
limited to, tax administration, certain governance functions
(including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and
internal audit) and external reporting. Our financial results
reflect allocations of corporate expenses from Cendant for these
and similar functions. These allocations may be less than the
comparable expenses we believe we would have incurred had we
operated as a stand-alone vehicle rental company. |
|
|
|
Generally, working capital requirements and capital for general
corporate purposes for the Vehicle Rental business, including
acquisitions and capital expenditures, have historically been
satisfied as part of the corporate-wide cash management policies
of Cendants broader corporate organization. With the
completion of the Separation Plan, we will not have access to
the cash generated by Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide or Travelport
in order to finance our working capital or other cash
requirements. Without the opportunity to obtain financing from
the cash generated by these companies, we may need to obtain
additional financing from banks, or through public offerings or
private placements of debt or equity securities, strategic
relationships or other arrangements. |
|
|
|
With the completion of the Separation Plan, the cost of capital
for our business may be higher than our cost of capital prior to
the completion of the Separation Plan. |
47
|
|
|
|
|
While we have entered into short-term transition agreements that
will govern certain commercial and other relationships among us,
Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport after the completion
of the Separation Plan, those temporary arrangements may not
capture the benefits our business enjoyed as a result of being
integrated with those companies. The loss of these benefits
could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. |
|
|
|
Other significant changes may occur in our cost structure,
management, financing and business operations as a result of our
operating as a company separate from Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide
and Travelport. |
We may be unable to make, on a timely or cost-effective
basis, the changes necessary to operate upon the completion of
the Separation Plan, and we may experience increased costs as a
result of the Separation Plan.
Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide are, and Travelport will be,
contractually obligated to provide to us only those services
specified in the transition services agreement and the other
agreements we entered into with them in preparation for the
separation. We may be unable to replace, in a timely manner or
on comparable terms, the services that Realogy, Wyndham
Worldwide or Travelport previously provided to us that are not
specified in the transition services agreement or the other
agreements. In addition, if Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide or
Travelport do not continue to perform effectively the transition
services and other services that are called for under the
transition services agreement and the other agreements, we may
not be able to operate our business effectively and our
profitability may decline. Furthermore, after the expiration of
the transition services and other agreements, we may be unable
to replace, in a timely manner or on comparable terms, the
services specified in such agreements.
The distribution or sale of Travelport may not be
completed, or if completed, the terms of such transactions may
differ than those currently contemplated.
Consummation of the final stage of Separation Plan, the sale or
distribution of Travelport, is subject to a number of
uncertainties and the satisfaction or waiver of certain
conditions precedent. If the sale of Travelport is not complete
by December 31, 2006, we have agreed to distribute the
common stock of Travelport to our stockholders. Therefore, we
cannot provide any assurances that the Separation Plan will be
completed, nor can we give assurances as to the terms on which
the sale or distribution of Travelport will be consummated.
Our agreements with Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and
Travelport may not reflect terms that would have resulted from
arms-length negotiations among unaffiliated
parties.
The agreements related to the separation, including the
Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Sharing Agreement,
Transition Services Agreement and other agreements, were not the
result of arms-length negotiations and thus may not
reflect terms that would have resulted from arms-length
negotiations among unaffiliated parties. Such terms include,
among other things, those related to allocation of assets,
liabilities, rights, indemnifications and other obligations
among the companies.
We are relying on Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and
Travelport to fulfill their obligations under the Separation and
Distribution Agreement and other agreements.
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Realogy
and Wyndham Worldwide will be responsible for 62.5% and 37.5%,
respectively (or, in the event that Travelport is distributed
and not sold, Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport will be
responsible for 50%, 30% and 20%, respectively) of certain
contingent and other corporate liabilities of Cendant. More
specifically, Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide (and, if applicable,
Travelport) will generally assume and be responsible for the
payment of their allocated percentage of all taxes imposed on us
and certain of our subsidiaries and certain of our contingent
and other corporate liabilities and/or our subsidiaries to the
extent incurred prior to the earlier of December 31, 2006
or the date of the separation of Travelport from Cendant. These
contingent and other corporate liabilities include liabilities
relating to (i) Cendants terminated or divested
businesses, including among others, the former PHH and Marketing
Services businesses, (ii) liabilities relating to the
Travelport sale, if any, (iii) the Securities Action and
the ABI Actions (for a further description of these litigation
matters, see Legal Proceedings) and
(iv) generally any actions with respect to the Separation
Plan or the distributions brought by any third party. If any
party responsible for such liabilities were to default in its
payment, when due, of any such assumed obligations, each
non-defaulting party, including us, would be required to pay an
equal portion of the amounts in default. Moreover, the
Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for
cross-indemnities designed to place financial responsibility of
certain obligations with the proper company. Any failure by
Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide or Travelport to pay any liabilities
when due or to indemnify us when required may cause a material
adverse affect on our results of operations.
48
Risks related to our common stock
With the completion of the distributions of Realogy and
Wyndham Worldwide, the market price of our shares may fluctuate
widely.
We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will
trade now that the distributions of Realogy and Wyndham
Worldwide are complete. The market price of our common stock may
fluctuate widely, depending upon many factors, some of which may
be beyond our control, including:
|
|
|
|
|
our business profile and market capitalization with the
completion of the distributions of Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide
may not fit the investment objectives of pre-distribution
Cendant stockholders, especially stockholders who held Cendant
stock based on Cendants inclusion in the S&P 500
Index, as our common stock with the completion of the
distributions of Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide will not be
included in the S&P 500 Index, and as a result,
pre-distribution Cendant stockholders may sell our shares; |
|
|
|
a shift in our investor base; |
|
|
|
our quarterly or annual earnings, or those of other companies in
our industry; |
|
|
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results due
to the seasonality of our business and other factors related to
our business; |
|
|
|
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance,
interpretations or principles; |
|
|
|
announcements by us or our competitors of significant
acquisitions or dispositions; |
|
|
|
the failure of securities analysts to cover our common stock
after completion of the Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide
distributions; |
|
|
|
changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or our
ability to meet those estimates; |
|
|
|
the operating and stock price performance of other comparable
companies; |
|
|
|
overall market fluctuations; and |
|
|
|
general economic conditions. |
Stock markets in general have experienced volatility that has
often been unrelated to the operating performance of a
particular company. These broad market fluctuations may
adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Your percentage ownership may be diluted in the
future.
Your percentage ownership may be diluted in the future because
of equity awards that we granted to our directors, officers and
employees and the accelerated vesting of previously granted
equity awards. As previously disclosed in our Current Report on
Form 8-K dated
August 4, 2006 and in the footnotes to our financial
statements included herein, on August 1, 2006, we granted
approximately 18 million restricted stock units and
approximately 5 million stock-settled stock appreciation rights and on
August 15, 2006, approximately 11 million restricted
stock units and 1.1 million options are expected to vest in
connection with the separation plan. Such amounts do not give
effect to adjustments that will occur if our anticipated
one-for-ten reverse stock split is completed. While we
anticipate that the value of annual grants in future years will be lower than
the August 2006 grant, we do expect to grant restricted stock
units and/or other types of equity awards in the future.
Our stockholder rights plan and provisions in our
certificate of incorporation and by-laws, and of Delaware law
may prevent or delay an acquisition of our company, which could
decrease the trading price of our common stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended
and restated by-laws and Delaware law contain provisions that
are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate
takeover bids by making such practices or bids unacceptably
expensive to the raider and to encourage prospective acquirors
to negotiate with our Board of Directors rather than to attempt
a hostile takeover. These provisions include, among others:
|
|
|
|
|
elimination of the right of our stockholders to act by written
consent; |
|
|
|
rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals or
nominate directors for election at stockholder meetings; |
|
|
|
the right of our Board to issue preferred stock without
stockholder approval; and |
|
|
|
limitations on the right of stockholders to remove directors. |
Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other
business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more
of our outstanding common stock.
49
Our Board adopted a stockholder rights plan, which provides,
among other things, that when specified events occur, our
stockholders will be entitled to purchase from us a newly
created series of junior preferred stock. The preferred stock
purchase rights are triggered by the earlier to occur of
(i) ten business days (or a later date determined by our
Board of Directors before the rights are separated from our
common stock) after the public announcement that a person or
group has become an acquiring person by acquiring
beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our outstanding common
stock or (ii) ten business days (or a later date determined
by our Board before the rights are separated from our common
stock) after a person or group begins a tender or exchange offer
that, if completed, would result in that person or group
becoming an acquiring person. The issuance of preferred stock
pursuant to the stockholder rights plan would cause substantial
dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on
terms not approved by our Board of Directors.
We believe these provisions protect our stockholders from
coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring
potential acquirors to negotiate with our Board and by providing
our Board with more time to assess any acquisition proposal.
These provisions are not intended to make our company immune
from takeovers. However, these provisions apply even if the
offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and
could delay or prevent an acquisition that our Board determines
is not in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.

Item 4. |
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
As discussed in other sections of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, Cendant
commenced a series of transactions in the second quarter of 2006
for the purpose of paying off its then existing corporate
indebtedness, which included cash tender offers to purchase all
of our then outstanding Notes (defined below) and consent
solicitations with respect to proposed amendments to the
Indenture (defined below) governing such Notes. On June 14,
2006, we commenced the tender offers and solicited the consent
of holders in order to eliminate substantially all of the
restrictive covenants in the Indenture governing our
6.250% Senior Notes due 2008, 6.250% Senior Notes due
2010, 7.375% Senior Notes due 2013 and 7.125% Senior
Notes due 2015 (collectively, the Notes). On
June 27, 2006 (the Consent Date), we announced
that we received consents approving the proposed amendments to
the Indenture from a majority in principal amount of the holders
of each series of Notes and executed the supplemental indenture
described below. The amendments eliminating substantially all of
the restrictive covenants in the Indenture are described in our
Current Report on
Form 8-K filed
with the SEC on June 30, 2006, and incorporated herein by
reference. The vote totals for the consents, as of
5:00 p.m. on the Consent Date, are set forth in the

(d) Each Note shall be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by BTF, and BTF shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 2.12 together with a written statement (which need not
comply with Section 13.3 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that
such Note has never been issued and sold by BTF, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall
be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.5. Registrar and Paying Agent.
(a) BTF shall (i) maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration
of transfer or for exchange (the Registrar) and (ii) appoint a paying agent (which shall
satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 10.8(a)) (Paying Agent) at
whose office or agency Notes may be presented for payment. The Registrar shall keep a register of
the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the Note Register). BTF may appoint one or
more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term Paying Agent includes any
additional paying agent and the term Registrar includes any co-registrars. BTF may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Noteholder. BTF shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. The Trustee is
hereby initially appointed as the Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and
demands in connection with the Notes.
7
(b) BTF shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this
Base Indenture. Such agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Base Indenture that
relate to such Agent. If BTF fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act
as such, and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with this Base Indenture
until BTF shall appoint a replacement Registrar or Paying Agent, as applicable.
Section 2.6. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
(a) BTF will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee
acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6,
that such Paying Agent will:
(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to
such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons
as herein provided;
(ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by BTF (or any other obligor under the
Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made
with respect to the Notes;
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request
of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;
(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums
held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards
required to be met by a Trustee hereunder at the time of its appointment; and
(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any
payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and
with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.
(b) BTF may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same
trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any
Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such sums.
(c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee
or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged
from such trust and be paid to BTF on Company Request; and the
8
Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to BTF for
payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to BTF), and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any such repayment, may, at the expense of BTF, cause to be published once, in a newspaper
published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general
circulation in New York City, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to BTF. The Trustee may also adopt
and employ, at the expense of BTF, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment.
Section 2.7. Noteholder List.
The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Registrar to BTF or the Paying Agent,
within five Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from BTF or the Paying
Agent, respectively, in writing, a list in such form as BTF or the Paying Agent may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series as of the most recent Record
Date for payments to such Noteholders. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series
Supplement, holders of Notes of any Series having an aggregate Invested Amount of not less than 10%
of the aggregate Invested Amount of such Series (the Applicants) may apply in writing to
the Trustee, and if such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other
Noteholders of any Series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the
Trustee, after having been indemnified to its satisfaction by such Applicants for its costs and
expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal
business hours to the most recent list of Noteholders held by the Trustee and shall give BTF notice
that such request has been made, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application.
Such list shall be as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date of receipt of such
Applicants request. Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Trustee
that neither the Trustee, the Registrar, nor any of their respective agents shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of
the Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes. If the
Trustee is not the Registrar, BTF shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before
each Distribution Date and at such other time as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such
form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of
Noteholders of each Series of Notes.
Section 2.8. Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the
Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met,
BTF shall execute and after BTF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
9
Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like initial Invested Amount
(or maximum Invested Amount, as the case may be). At the option of any Noteholder, Notes may be
exchanged for other Notes of the same Series and Class in authorized denominations of like initial
Invested Amount (or maximum Invested Amount, as the case may be), upon surrender of the Notes to be
exchanged at any office or agency of the Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever Notes of
any Series are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8401(a) of the UCC are
met, BTF shall execute and after BTF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Noteholder, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(b) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i)
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holders attorney duly authorized in writing,
with a medallion signature guarantee, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee
may require. BTF shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, Notes
in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its
responsibilities under this Indenture and the Notes.
(c) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes shall be the
valid obligations of BTF, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(d) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.8 notwithstanding, the Trustee or the
Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any
Note of any Series for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for payment in full of the Notes
of such Series.
(e) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, no service charge shall be
payable for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but BTF or the Registrar may require
payment by the Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.
(f) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, registration of transfer of
Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Notes (which legend
shall be set forth in the applicable Series Supplement) shall be effected only if the conditions
set forth in such applicable Series Supplement are satisfied.
Section 2.9. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and
BTF may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of
determination) as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is
overdue, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor BTF shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.10. Replacement Notes.
10
(a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold BTF and the Trustee
harmless then, provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met (which generally
permit BTF to impose reasonable requirements), BTF shall execute and upon its request the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due
and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Note, BTF may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note
when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note
or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a
protected purchaser (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC) of the original Note in lieu
of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, BTF and the
Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to
whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such
replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and
shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any
loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by BTF or the Trustee in connection therewith.
(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.10, the Registrar,
BTF or the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.
(c) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in replacement of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Base
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
(d) The provisions of this Section 2.11 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 2.11. Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Noteholders of the required Invested Amount of Notes have concurred
in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by BTF or any Affiliate of BTF (other than an
Affiliate Issuer) shall be considered as though they are not Outstanding, except that for the
purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction,
waiver or consent, only Notes of which a Trust Officer has received written notice of such
ownership shall be so disregarded. Absent written notice to a Trust Officer of such ownership, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the identity of the individual owners of the
Notes.
Section 2.12. Cancellation.
11
BTF may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated
and delivered hereunder which BTF may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or upon any repayment
of the principal amount in respect of such Notes, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly
cancelled by the Trustee. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel
all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation.
BTF may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be
disposed of in accordance with the Trustees standard disposition procedures unless BTF shall
direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it pursuant to a Company Order.

(b) Each Series of Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the applicable Series Supplement
and such interest shall be payable on each Distribution Date for such Series in accordance with

payable to the Persons who were Noteholders of such Series on the applicable Record Date and in
such case BTF shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner, plus, to the extent lawful,
interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Noteholders of such Series on a

date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
Section 2.14. Tax Treatment.
BTF has structured this Base Indenture, the applicable Series Supplements, and the Notes that

law as indebtedness of BTF and any entity acquiring any direct or indirect interest
12
in any Note by acceptance of its Notes agrees to treat the Notes for purposes of Federal,
state and local and income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income,
as indebtedness of BTF.

accepts the trusts under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and
subject to Section 10.1 and 10.2, agrees to perform its duties required in this
Indenture to the best of its abilities to the end that the interests of the Secured Parties may be
adequately and effectively protected. The Collateral shall secure the Notes equally and ratably
without prejudice, priority (except, with respect to any Series of Notes, as otherwise stated in
the applicable Series Supplement) or distinction.
Section 3.2. Certain Rights and Obligations of BTF Unaffected.
(a) Notwithstanding the assignment and security interest so granted to the Trustee on behalf
of the Secured Parties, BTF shall nevertheless be permitted, subject to the Trustees right to
revoke such permission in the event of an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes
Outstanding and subject to the provisions of Section 3.3, to give all consents, requests,
notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers, if any, which are required to be given in
the normal course of business (which does not include waivers of default under any of the
Collateral Agreements).
(b) The assignment of and grant of a security interest in the Collateral to the Trustee on
behalf of the Secured Parties shall not (i) relieve BTF from the performance of any term, covenant,
condition or agreement on BTFs part to be performed or observed under or in connection with any of
the Collateral Agreements or (ii) impose any obligation on the Trustee or any of the Secured
Parties to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or
14
agreement on BTFs part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on the Trustee
or any of the Secured Parties for any act or omission on the part of BTF or from any breach of any
representation or warranty on the part of BTF.
(c) BTF hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each Noteholder
(including, in each case, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) from and
against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), claims, demands,
actions, suits, judgments, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses arising out of or resulting
from the assignment and security interest granted hereby, whether arising by virtue of any act or
omission on the part of BTF or otherwise, including, without limitation, the reasonable
out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses) incurred by the Trustee and any of the Noteholders in enforcing this Indenture or
preserving any of their respective rights to, or realizing upon, any of the Collateral;
provided, however, the foregoing indemnification shall not extend to any action by
the Trustee or a Noteholder which constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct by the
Trustee, such Noteholder or any other indemnified person hereunder. The indemnification provided
for in this Section 3.2 shall survive the removal of, or a resignation by, such Person as
Trustee as well as the termination of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement.
Section 3.3. Performance of Collateral Agreements.
Upon the occurrence of a default or breach by any Person party to a Collateral Agreement,
promptly following a request from the Trustee to do so and at BTFs expense, BTF agrees to take all
such lawful action as permitted under this Indenture as the Trustee may request to compel or secure
the performance and observance by BTF, the Nominee Lienholder, the Administrator, the Lessee, the
Guarantor or any other party to any of the Collateral Agreements of its obligations to BTF, and to
exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to BTF to the
extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee, including, without limitation, the transmission
of notices of default and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to
compel or secure performance by BTF, the Nominee Lienholder, the Administrator, the Lessee or the
Guarantor (or such other party to any of the Collateral Agreements) of their respective obligations
thereunder. If (i) BTF shall have failed, within 30 days of receiving the direction of the Trustee
to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the Trustee, (ii) BTF
refuses to take any such action or (iii) the Trustee reasonably determines that such action must be
taken immediately, in any such case the Trustee may take, at the expense of BTF, such previously
directed action and any related action permitted under this Indenture which the Trustee thereafter
determines is appropriate (without the need under this provision or any other provision under this
Indenture to direct BTF to take such action), on behalf of BTF and the Secured Parties.
Section 3.4. Release of Collateral.
(a) The Trustee shall, when required by the provisions of this Indenture and at BTFs
reasonable request, execute instruments provided to it to release property from the lien of this
Indenture, or convey the Trustees interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that
are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument
executed by the Trustee as provided in this Section 3.4 shall be bound to ascertain the
15
Trustees authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the
application of any moneys.
(b) From and after the earlier of (i) the date of the deposit of the Disposition Proceeds of a
BTF Truck by or on behalf of BTF into the Collection Account and (ii) in the case of a Casualty,
the date the related Casualty Payment is deposited into the Collection Account, such BTF Truck and
the related Certificate of Title shall automatically be released from the lien of this Base
Indenture.
(c) The Trustee shall, at such time as there is no Note Outstanding, release any remaining
portion of the Collateral from the lien of this Indenture and release to BTF any funds then on
deposit in the Collection Account and any Series Accounts. The Trustee shall release property from
the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) only upon receipt of a Company
Order accompanied by an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel meeting the applicable
requirements of Section 13.3.
Section 3.5. Opinions of Counsel.
The Trustee shall receive at least seven days notice when requested by BTF to take any action
pursuant to Section 3.4(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the
Trustee may also require as a condition of such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action,
outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all such action will not
materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders;
provided, however that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an
opinion as to the fair value of the Collateral. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely,
without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other
instrument delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such action.
Section 3.6. Stamp, Other Similar Taxes and Filing Fees.
BTF shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each Noteholder from any present or
future claim for liability for any stamp or other similar tax and any penalties or interest with
respect thereto, that may be assessed, levied or collected by any jurisdiction in connection with
this Indenture or any Collateral. BTF shall pay, or reimburse the Trustee for, any and all amounts
in respect of, all search, filing, recording and registration fees, taxes, excise taxes and other
similar imposts that may be payable or determined to be payable in respect of the execution,
delivery, performance and/or enforcement of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 5. ALLOCATION AND APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS
Section 5.1. Collection Account.
(a) Establishment of Collection Account. On or prior to the Initial Closing Date,
BTF, the Collection Account Securities Intermediary and the Trustee shall have entered into the
Collection Account Control Agreement pursuant to which the Collection Account shall be established
and maintained for the benefit of the Noteholders. If at any time a Trust Officer obtains
knowledge that the Collection Account is no longer an Eligible Account, the Trustee shall, within
ten (10) Business Days of obtaining such knowledge, cause the Collection Account to be moved to a
Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution and cause the depositary maintaining the new
Collection Account to assume the obligations of the existing Collection Account Securities
Intermediary under the Collection Account Control Agreement. Initially, the Collection Account
will be established with the Trustee.
(b) Administration of the Collection Account. All amounts held in the Collection
Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the Collection Account
Control Agreement at the written direction of BTF. Investments of funds on deposit in
administrative sub-accounts of the Collection Account established in respect of a particular Series
of Notes shall be required to mature on or before the dates specified in the applicable Series
Supplement. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the
Collection Account shall remain uninvested. BTF shall not direct the disposal of any Permitted
Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the
initial purchase price of such Permitted Investment.
(c) Earnings from Collection Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and
investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be deemed to be
available and on deposit for distribution.
(d) Establishment of Series Accounts. To the extent specified in the Series
Supplement with respect to any Series of Notes, the Trustee may establish and maintain one or more
Series Accounts and/or administrative sub-accounts of the Collection Account to facilitate the
proper allocation of Collections in accordance with the terms of such Series Supplement.
(e) Trustee Accounts as Securities Accounts. Each of BTF and the Trustee on behalf of
the secured parties hereunder and as Securities Intermediary acknowledges and agrees that all of
the accounts established under Article 4 of this Base Indenture and under any Series Supplement
(all such accounts and any accounts established by the Trustee or BTF under any future Series
Supplements, the Issuer Accounts) are intended to be, and the Trustee agrees to establish
such accounts as, securities accounts (as defined in Section 8-501 of the New York UCC). The
Trustee represents and warrants that it is a securities intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102
of the New York UCC) and a bank (as defined in Section 9-102 of the New York UCC) (the Trustee in
such capacities is referred to herein as the Securities Intermediary). The Securities
Intermediary has, at the time of execution and delivery of the Base Indenture, entered into a
Control Agreement with respect to each existing Issuer Account and will, unless otherwise provided
in the Supplement for a new Series of Notes, execute and deliver a Control
19
Agreement with respect to any Issuer Accounts hereinafter created pursuant to a Supplement for
a Series of Notes or any other Related Document.
Section 5.2. Collections and Allocations.
(a) Collections in General. Until this Base Indenture is terminated pursuant to

or the Administrator to third parties to be deposited by BTF, the Lessee or the
Administrator within two Business Days of its receipt into the Collection Account;
(ii) all amounts payable to BTF pursuant to the BTF Lease shall be paid directly to the
Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account;
(iii) all amounts due from any other source in respect of the Collateral (other than
insurance proceeds and warranty payments in respect of BTF Trucks) to be paid either (a)
directly into the Collection Account at such times as such amounts are due or (b) by the
Administrator or the Lessee into the Collection Account within two Business Days of its
receipt thereof (and, in each case, BTF represents to the Secured Parties that it has
instructed the Administrator, the Lessee and any other source of Collections, as applicable,
to so remit such amounts).
All amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be allocated and distributed as
provided herein and as supplemented by the Series Supplement for each outstanding Series of Notes.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event or Potential
Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding, insurance proceeds and warranty
payments will be deposited in the Collection Account within two Business Days of their receipt by
BTF, the Lessee or the Administrator; provided, however, upon the delivery of an
Officers Certificate of the Administrator to the Trustee (upon which it may conclusively rely)
certifying (i) that an BTF Truck for which insurance proceeds or warranty payments, as the case may
be, have been received in the Collection Account has been repaired and (ii) as to the dollar amount
of such repairs, the Trustee shall release to BTF insurance proceeds or warranty payments, as the
case may be, in such dollar amount (to the extent not previously applied hereunder). BTF agrees
that if any such monies, instruments, cash or other proceeds shall be received by BTF in an account
other than the Collection Account or in any other manner, such monies, instruments, cash and other
proceeds will not be commingled by BTF with any of its other funds or property, if any, but will be
held separate and apart therefrom and shall be held in trust by BTF for, and immediately paid over
to, but in any event within two Business Days from receipt, the Trustee, with any necessary
endorsement. BTF shall ensure that all funds to be deposited in the Collection Account are paid to
the Trustee by wire transfer. All monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds received by the
Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be immediately deposited in the Collection Account and
shall be applied as provided in this Article 5.
20
(b) Allocations for Noteholders. On each day on which Collections are deposited into
the Collection Account, BTF shall allocate Collections deposited into the Collection Account in
accordance with this Article 5 and shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw the required
amounts from the Collection Account and make the required deposits in any Series Account in
accordance with this Article 5, as modified by any Series Supplement. BTF shall make such
deposits or payments on the date indicated therein in immediately available funds or as otherwise
provided in the applicable Series Supplement.
(c) Unallocated Principal Collections. If, after giving effect to Section
5.2(b), Principal Collections allocated to any Series on any Distribution Date are in excess of
the amount required to be paid in respect of such Series on such Distribution Date, then any such
excess Principal Collections shall be allocated to BTF or such other party as may be entitled
thereto as set forth in any Series Supplement.
Section 5.3. Determination of Monthly Interest.
Monthly payments of interest on each Series of Notes shall be determined, allocated and
distributed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Series Supplement.
Section 5.4. Determination of Monthly Principal.
Monthly payments of principal of each Series of Notes shall be determined, allocated and
distributed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Series Supplement.
However, all principal of or interest on any Series of Notes shall be due and payable no later than
the Series Termination Date with respect to such Series.
[THE REMAINDER OF ARTICLE 5 IS RESERVED AND MAY BE SPECIFIED IN ANY SERIES SUPPLEMENT WITH RESPECT
TO ANY SERIES OF NOTES.]
ARTICLE 6. DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 6.1. Distributions in General.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision hereof or of any Series Supplement, prior to depositing any
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account into any Distribution Account, all amounts due and
payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.5 and under the Nominee Agreement (including
all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee related to the disposition of any Collateral), to
the extent not already paid by BTF, shall be withdrawn from the Collection Account and paid to the
Trustee. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, on each Distribution Date
with respect to each Outstanding Series, after payment of the amounts described in the preceding
sentence, (i) the Paying Agent shall deposit (in accordance with the Monthly Certificate delivered
to the Trustee) in the Distribution Account for each such Series the amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account allocable to Noteholders of such Series as interest and principal, and (ii) to
the extent provided for in the applicable Series Supplement, the Trustee shall deposit in the
Distribution Account for each such Series the amount of Enhancement for such Series drawn in
connection with such Distribution Date.
21
(b) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, on each Distribution Date,
the Paying Agent shall pay to the Noteholders of each Series of record on the preceding Record Date
the amounts payable thereto hereunder by check mailed first-class postage prepaid to such
Noteholder at the address for such Noteholder appearing in the Note Register; provided,
however, that, the final principal payment due on a Note shall only be paid to the
Noteholder of a Note on due presentment of such Note for cancellation in accordance with the
provisions of the Note.
(c) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement (i) all distributions to
Noteholders of all Classes within a Series of Notes will have the same priority and (ii) in the
event that on any date of determination the amount available to make payments to the Noteholders of
a Series is not sufficient to pay all sums required to be paid to such Noteholders on such date,
then each Class of Noteholders will receive its ratable share (based upon the aggregate amount due
to such Class of Noteholders) of the aggregate amount available to be distributed in respect of the
Notes of such Series.

Section 9.2. Rights of the Trustee upon Amortization Event or Certain Other Events
of Default.
(a) General. If and whenever an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of
Notes Outstanding shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may and, at the written
direction of the Requisite Investors (or the Required Noteholders of any affected Series
36
of Notes, in the case of an Amortization Event that affects less than all Series of Notes),
shall, exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law or
any Related Document; provided, however, that if such Amortization Event is with
respect to less than all Series of Notes Outstanding, then the Trustees rights and remedies
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall, to the extent not detrimental to the
rights of the holders of the Series of Notes Outstanding with respect to which such Amortization
Event shall have occurred, be limited to rights and remedies pertaining only to those Series of
Notes with respect to which such Amortization Event has occurred and the Trustee shall exercise
such rights and remedies at the written direction of Noteholders holding in excess of 50% of the
aggregate Invested Amount of all such Series of Notes with respect to which such Amortization Event
has occurred. Any amounts obtained by the Trustee on account of or as a result of the exercise by
the Trustee of any right shall be held by the Trustee as additional collateral for the repayment of
Note Obligations and shall be applied as provided in Article 5. If so specified in the applicable
Series Supplement, the Trustee may agree not to exercise any rights or remedies available to it as
a result of the occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to a Series of Notes to the extent
set forth therein.
(b) Liquidation Event of Default; Limited Liquidation Event of Default. If a
Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Requisite Investors (in the case of a
Liquidation Event of Default) or the Required Noteholders of the applicable Series of Notes (in the
case of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default), shall direct BTF to exercise (and BTF agrees to
exercise), to the extent necessary, all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of BTF
against any party to any Related Document arising as a result of the occurrence of such Liquidation
Event of Default or Limited Liquidation Event of Default, as the case may be, or otherwise,
including the right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by any such
party of its obligations to BTF and the right to terminate all or a portion of the BTF Lease and
take possession of BTF Trucks and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval,
extension or waiver in respect of the BTF Lease, and any right of BTF to take such action
independent of such direction shall be suspended.
(c) BTF Trucks. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default, the Trustee,
at the written direction of the Requisite Investors, shall promptly sell, or instruct BTF to sell,
or cause the Lessee to sell the BTF Trucks. Upon the occurrence of a Limited Liquidation Event of
Default with respect to any Series of Notes, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Required
Noteholders of the applicable Series of Notes, shall promptly sell, or instruct BTF to sell, or
cause the Lessee to sell BTF Trucks in an amount sufficient to pay all interest and principal on
such Series of Notes.
(d) Failure of BTF or the Lessee to Take Action. If (i) BTF or the Lessee shall have
failed, within 15 Business Days of receiving the direction of the Trustee, to take commercially
reasonable action to accomplish directions of the Trustee given pursuant to clauses (b) or
(c) above, (ii) BTF or the Lessee refuses to take such action or (iii) the Trustee
reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately, the Trustee may (and at the
written direction of the Required Noteholders of the affected Series of Notes (with respect to any
Limited Liquidation Event of Default) or the Requisite Investors (with respect to any Liquidation
Event of Default) shall), take such previously directed action (and any related action as permitted
37
under this Indenture thereafter determined by the Trustee to be appropriate without the need
under this provision or any other provision under this Indenture to direct BTF or the Lessee to
take such action). The Trustee may institute legal proceedings for the appointment of a receiver or
receivers to take possession of the BTF Trucks pending the sale thereof pursuant either to the
powers of sale granted by this Indenture and the Related Documents or to a judgment, order or
decree made in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this
Indenture.
(e) Sale of Collateral. Upon any sale of any of the Collateral directly by the
Trustee, whether made under the power of sale given under this Section 9.2 or under
judgment, order or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the
enforcement of this Indenture:
(i) the Trustee or any Noteholder may bid for and purchase the property being sold, and
upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such
property in its own absolute right without further accountability;
(ii) the Trustee may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and
sufficient deed, bill of sale and instrument of assignment and transfer of the property
sold;
(iii) all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in
equity or otherwise, of BTF of, in and to the property so sold shall be divested; and such
sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against BTF, its successors and
assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the property sold or any
part thereof from, through or under BTF or its successors or assigns;
(iv) the receipt of the Trustee or of the officer thereof making such sale shall be a
sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale for his or their purchase
money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and his or their assigns or personal
representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of
the Trustee or of such officer therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such
purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication
thereof; and
(v) to the extent that it may lawfully do so, BTF agrees that it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage
of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, or any law permitting it
to direct the order in which the BTF Trucks shall be sold, now or at any time hereafter in
force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this
Indenture.
(f) Additional Remedies. In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter
granted hereunder or under applicable law with respect to the Collateral, the Trustee on behalf of
the Secured Parties shall (subject to the foregoing provisions in respect of the BTF
38
Trucks) have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in any
applicable jurisdiction.
(g) Series Amortization Event. Upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event with
respect to one or more, but not all, Series of Notes Outstanding, the Trustee shall exercise all
remedies hereunder to the extent necessary to pay all interest and principal on the affected Series
of Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the applicable Notes, this Base
Indenture or any applicable Series Supplement.
Section 9.3. Other Remedies.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture, if an Amortization Event occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any remedy available under applicable law or in equity to
collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes (or the applicable Series of Notes, in
the case of an Amortization Event that affects less than all Series of Notes) or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or any Series Supplement with respect
such Series of Notes. In addition, the Trustee may, or shall at the written direction of the
Requisite Investors (or the Required Noteholders of one or more Series of Notes, in the case of an
Amortization Event that affects only such Series of Notes), direct BTF to exercise any rights or
remedies available under any Related Document or under applicable law or in equity with respect to
that Series of Notes.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
in its own name as trustee. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 9.4. Waiver of Past Events.
Subject to Section 12.2, the Noteholders of any Series owning an aggregate Invested
Amount of Notes in excess of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Invested Amount of the Outstanding Notes of
such Series, by notice to the Trustee, may waive any existing Potential Amortization Event or
Amortization Event described in clause (b) or (k) of Section 9.1 (with
respect to clause (k), only to the extent subject to waiver as provided in the applicable
Series Supplement) which relate to such Series and its consequences. Upon any such waiver, such
Potential Amortization Event shall cease to exist with respect to such Series, and any Amortization
Event with respect to such Series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Potential
Amortization Event or impair any right consequent thereon. A Potential Amortization Event or an
Amortization Event described in clause (a), (c), (d), (e),
(f), (g), (h), (i), (j) or (k) of Section
9.1 (with respect to clause (k) only to the extent not subject to waiver as set forth
in the applicable Series Supplement) shall not be subject to waiver.
Section 9.5. Control by Requisite Investors.
The Requisite Investors (or, to the extent such remedy relates only to a particular Series of
Notes, the Required Noteholders of such Series (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series
Supplement)) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
39
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred
on the Trustee. However, subject to Section 10.1, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Base Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of other Noteholders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal
liability.
Section 9.6. Limitation on Suits.
Any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, a Holder of Notes of
any Series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of such Series only if:
(a) the Noteholder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Amortization Event with
respect to such Series;
(b) the Noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate Invested Amount of all then Outstanding
Notes of such Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Noteholder or Noteholders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 45 days after receipt of the request
and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
(e) during such 45-day period the Required Noteholders of such Series of Notes do not give the
Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
(f) A Noteholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or
to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder.
Section 9.7. Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Noteholder of a Note
to receive payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of the Noteholder.
Section 9.8. Collection Suit by the Trustee.
If any Amortization Event arising from the failure to make a payment in respect of a Series of
Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust against BTF for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining
unpaid on the Notes of such Series and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful,
interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel.
40
Section 9.9. The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to BTF (or any other
obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to
collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claim and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to
make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5. To the extent that the
payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 out of the estate in
any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien
on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, and other properties
which the Noteholders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under
any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of
any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding.
Section 9.10. Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, the Trustee shall pay out the
money in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of this Base Indenture as supplemented
by the provisions of each Series Supplement hereto.
Section 9.11. Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Base Indenture or any Series
Supplement or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a
court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of any undertaking
to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does
not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Noteholder pursuant to Section 9.7, or a
suit by Noteholders of more than 10% of the aggregate Invested Amount of all then Outstanding
Notes.
Section 9.12. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders of Notes
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or
41
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given under this Indenture or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under this Base Indenture, any
applicable Series Supplement or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment
of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 9.13. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any Note to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Amortization Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Amortization Event or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article 9 or by law to the Trustee or to the holders of Notes may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such holders of Notes, as the
case may be.
Section 9.14. Reassignment of Surplus.
After termination of this Indenture and the payment in full of the Note Obligations, any
proceeds of the Collateral received or held by the Trustee shall be turned over to BTF and the
Collateral shall be reassigned to BTF by the Trustee without recourse to the Trustee and without
any representations, warranties or agreements of any kind.
ARTICLE 10. THE TRUSTEE
Section 10.1. Duties of the Trustee.
(a) If an Amortization Event with respect to one or more Series of Notes has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction
taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of an Amortization Event of which a Trust
Officer has not received written notice. The preceding sentence shall not have the effect of
insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustees negligence or willful
misconduct.
(b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Amortization Event:
(i) The Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth
in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture. However the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
42
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) This clause does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section
10.1.
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section
9.5.
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default by any Person in
the performance of its obligations under any Related Document, unless a Trust Officer
receives written notice of such failure from BTF, the Lessee or any Noteholder or otherwise
has actual knowledge thereof.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or any of the other
Related Documents, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its
own funds or incur any liability if there are reasonable grounds (as determined by the Trustee in
its sole discretion) for believing that the repayment of such funds is not reasonably assured to it
by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to perform
any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against any risk, loss, liability or expense.
(e) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation,
duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the
Registrar, as the case may be, under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be obligated as soon as
practicable upon actual knowledge of a Trust Officer thereof and receipt of appropriate records and
information, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.
(f) Subject to Section 10.3, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the Related
Documents.
Section 10.2. Rights of the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1:
(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting based upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by or
presented by the proper person.
43
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from
liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon.
(c) The Trustee may act through agents, custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for
any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, custodian
or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care. The appointment
of agents (other than legal counsel) pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be subject to
the prior consent of BTF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Indenture.
(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement, or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the
Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement, unless
such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the
occurrence of an Amortization Event or a default by the Lessee, the Guarantor, the Administrator,
BTF, the Nominee Lienholder (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement, and to use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs.
(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the
Required Noteholders of any Series of Notes.
(g) The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses or liquidation penalties in connection with
Permitted Investments, unless such losses or liquidation penalties were incurred through the
Trustees own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
(h) The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor to the Trustee
so long as such acts or omissions were not the result of the negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the predecessor Trustee.
Section 10.3. Individual Rights of the Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with BTF or an Affiliate of BTF with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.
Section 10.4. Notice of Amortization Events and Potential Amortization Events.
44
If an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes
Outstanding occurs and is continuing of which a Trust Officer shall have received written notice,
the Trustee shall promptly provide the Noteholders and BTF with notice of such Amortization Event
or Potential Amortization Event by first class mail.
Section 10.5. Compensation.
(a) BTF shall promptly pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of
this Indenture and services hereunder as the Trustee and BTF shall from time to time agree in
writing. The Trustees compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee
of an express trust. BTF shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable
disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its
services. Such expenses shall include (i) the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses
of the Trustees agents and counsel and (ii) the reasonable expenses of the Trustees agents in
administering the Collateral.
(b) BTF shall not be required to reimburse any expense or indemnify the Trustee against any
loss, liability, or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustees own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.
(c) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Amortization Event occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under the Bankruptcy Code.
(d) The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this
Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.
Section 10.6. Replacement of the Trustee.
(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall
become effective only upon the successor Trustees acceptance of appointment as provided in this
Section 10.6.
(b) The Trustee may, after giving sixty (60) days prior written notice to BTF and each
Noteholder, resign at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created; provided,
however, that no such resignation of the Trustee shall be effective until a successor
trustee has assumed the obligations of the Trustee hereunder. The Requisite Investors may remove
the Trustee at any time by so notifying the Trustee, BTF and the Administrator. So long as no
Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Series of Outstanding Notes,
BTF may remove the Trustee at any time. BTF shall remove the Trustee if:
(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.8;
(ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is
entered with respect to the Trustee under the Bankruptcy Code;
(iii) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
45
(iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for
any reason, BTF (or, if an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any
Series of Outstanding Notes, the Requisite Investors) shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Requisite Investors may appoint a
successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by BTF.
(c) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, BTF or any Secured Party may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. At any time after a successor
Trustee appointed by a court takes office, the Requisite Investors may appoint a successor Trustee
to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the court.
(d) If the Trustee, after written request by any Noteholder, fails to comply with Section
10.8, such Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. At any time after a successor Trustee
appointed by a court takes office, the Requisite Investors may appoint a successor Trustee to
replace the successor Trustee appointed by the court.
(e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee or removed Trustee and to BTF and the Administrator. Thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the
rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Base Indenture and any Series Supplement. The
successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Trustee shall
promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided,
however, that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.6, BTFs obligations
under Section 10.5 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
Section 10.7. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
Subject to Section 10.8, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the
successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.
Section 10.8. Eligibility Disqualification.
(a) There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be (i) a corporation organized
and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, (ii) subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state authority and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition (iii) a member
bank, or is a subsidiary of a corporation that is a member bank, of the Federal Reserve System and
(iv) subject to Section 10.6(b), if such Trustee is other than The Bank of New York Trust Company,
N.A., acceptable to the Requisite Investors.
46
(b) At any time the Trustee shall cease to satisfy the eligibility requirements of Section
10.8(a) above, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in Section 10.6.
Section 10.9. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement, at
any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such
Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, such title to the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.9,
such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.8 and no notice to Noteholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.6. No
co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of BTF unless such appointment is required as a
matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed
and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) The Notes of each Series shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Trustee
or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee;
(ii) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform, such
act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the
holding of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Trustee;
(iii) No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission
of any other trustee hereunder;
(iv) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee; and
(v) The Trustee shall remain primarily liable for the actions of any co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given
47
to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer
to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 10. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Base Indenture and any Series
Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to BTF and the
Administrator.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any
lawful act under or in respect to this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement on its behalf and in
its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or
be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
(e) In connection with the appointment of a co-trustee, the Trustee may, at any time, at the
Trustees sole cost and expense, without notice to the Noteholders, delegate its duties under this
Base Indenture and any Series Supplement to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in
accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that no such delegation shall
relieve the Trustee of its obligations and responsibilities hereunder with respect to any such
delegated duties.
Section 10.10. Representations and Warranties of Trustee.
The Trustee represents and warrants to BTF and the Secured Parties that:
(i) The Trustee is a national banking association, organized, existing and in good
standing under the laws of the United States;
(ii) The Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform
this Base Indenture and any Series Supplement issued concurrently with this Indenture and to

concurrently with this Base Indenture and to authenticate the Notes;
(iii) This Base Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee; and
(iv) The Trustee meets the requirements of eligibility as a trustee hereunder set forth
in Section 10.8.
Section 10.11. BTF Indemnification of the Trustee.
BTF shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their
respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any loss, liability, claim,
expense (including taxes, other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the

reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of or in connection with the
activities of the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture or any Series
Supplement, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys
fees and other costs or expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any actual
or threatened action, proceeding, claim (whether asserted by BTF or any Noteholder or any other
Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 10.11;
provided, however, that BTF shall not indemnify the Trustee, any predecessor
Trustee or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents if such acts, omissions or
alleged acts or omissions constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith by the Trustee or
such predecessor Trustee, as the case may be. The indemnity provided herein shall survive the
termination of this Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.
Section 10.12. Possession of Collateral.
The Trustee shall hold the original chattel paper BTF Lease and any other Collateral in the
State of New York pursuant to instructions of BTF in accordance with Section 8.12(e) or as
otherwise directed by the Required Noteholders of any Series, as applicable.
ARTICLE 11. DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
Section 11.1. Termination of BTFs Obligations.
(a) This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except that (i) BTFs obligations
under Section 10.5 and Section 10.11, (ii) the Trustees and Paying Agents
obligations under Section 11.2 and Section 11.3 and (iii) the Noteholders and the
Trustees obligations under Section 13.17 shall survive) when all Outstanding Notes
theretofore authenticated and issued (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Notes which have been
replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and BTF has paid all sums
payable hereunder.
(b) In addition, except as may be provided to the contrary in any Series Supplement, BTF may
terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture if:
(i) BTF irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee or at the option of the Trustee,
with a trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and BTF under the terms of an
irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, money or U.S.
Government Obligations in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay, when due, principal and interest on the Notes to
maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other sums payable by it
hereunder; provided, however, that (1) the trustee of the irrevocable trust
shall have been irrevocably instructed to pay such money or the proceeds of such U.S.
Government Obligations to the Trustee and (2) the Trustee shall have been irrevocably
instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the
payment of said principal and interest with respect to the Notes;
49
(ii) BTF delivers to the Trustee an Officers Certificate of BTF stating that all
conditions (other than final payment to the Noteholders) precedent to satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to the same
effect;

Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit; and
(iv) the Required Noteholders of each Series of Notes Outstanding shall have consented
to such deposit and termination of obligations pursuant to this Section 11.1;
then, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as provided in this Section
11.1), and the Trustee, on demand of BTF, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
confirmation of and discharge under this Indenture.
(c) After such irrevocable deposit made pursuant to Section 11.1(b) and satisfaction
of the other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the
discharge of BTFs obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations
specified above.
In order to have money available on a payment date to pay principal of or interest on the
Notes, the U.S. Government Obligations shall be payable as to principal of or interest at least one
Business Day before such payment date in such amounts as will provide the necessary money. U.S.
Government Obligations shall not be callable at the issuers option.
Section 11.2. Application of Trust Money.
The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and BTF shall hold in trust money or U.S.
Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 11.1. The Trustee shall apply
the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent in
accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal and interest on the Notes. The
provisions of this Section 11.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Indenture.
Section 11.3. Repayment to BTF.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to BTF upon written request any excess
money or, pursuant to Sections 2.10 and 2.12, return any Notes held by them at any
time.

written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains
unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due.
The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 12. AMENDMENTS
Section 12.1. Amendments.
The provisions of this Base Indenture and any Series Supplement (unless otherwise provided in
such Series Supplement) may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment,
modification or waiver is in writing and consented to in writing by BTF, the Trustee and the
Requisite Investors (or the Required Noteholders of a Series of Notes, in respect of any amendment,
modification or waiver to the Series Supplement with respect to such Series of Notes or any
amendment, modification or waiver to the Base Indenture which affects only the Noteholders of such
Series of Notes and does not affect the Noteholders of any other Series of Notes, as substantiated
by an Officers Certificate or, with respect to any legal issue, an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect, which Opinion of Counsel may, to the extent same is based on any factual matter, rely upon
an Officers Certificate of BTF to the truth of such factual matter; provided that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as there is one Series of Notes outstanding, such Series of Notes shall be
deemed to be affected by any amendment, modification or waiver to the Base Indenture).
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) any modification of this Section 12.1, any requirement hereunder that any
particular action be taken by Noteholders holding the relevant percentage in the Invested
Amount of the Notes or any change in the definition of the terms Aggregate Required
Borrowing Base, Aggregate Invested Amount, Borrowing Base, Borrowing Base Deficiency,
Collateral (other than to add additional Collateral), Invested Amount, Invested
Percentage, or the applicable amount of Enhancement or any defined term used for the
purpose of any such definitions shall require the consent of each affected Noteholder; and
(ii) any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (A) extend the due date
for, or reduce the amount of any scheduled repayment or prepayment of principal of or
interest on any Note (or reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on any Note)
will require the consent of each affected Noteholder; (B) approve the assignment or transfer
by BTF of any of its rights or obligations under the Indenture or under any other Related
Document to which it is a party shall require the consent of each affected Noteholder,
unless the express terms of such Related Document requires the consent of each Noteholder;
(C) release any obligor under any Related Document to which it is a party except pursuant to
the express terms of such Related Document will require the consent of each Noteholder;
provided, however, that no consent will be required to release any liens on
BTF Trucks which are released as permitted by the Indenture; (D) affect adversely the
interests, rights or obligations of any Noteholder individually in comparison to others
shall require the consent of such Noteholder; (E) amend or otherwise modify any Amortization
Event or Liquidation Event of Default shall require the consent of each affected Noteholder;
and (F) amend or otherwise modify which Amortization Events are not subject to waiver
pursuant to Section 9.4 shall require the consent of each affected Noteholder; and
(iii) the Eligible Truck Appendix may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time
by BTF without any approval or consent of any party;
51
provided, however, the Eligible Truck Appendix is subject to (i) the
calculation of the Termination Value Curve for each newly-added Truck, as determined by
Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., (which Termination Value Curve shall be subject to the
consent of BTF), and (ii) as applicable, the calculation of the credit enhancement
percentages for each newly-added Truck, as determined by the Required Noteholders for each
outstanding Series of Notes (which enhancement percentages shall be subject to the consent
of BTF).
No failure or delay on the part of any Noteholder or the Trustee in exercising any power or right
under this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Related Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
Section 12.2. Supplements.
Each amendment or other modification to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a
Supplement. The initial effectiveness of each Supplement shall be subject to the delivery to the
Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that such Supplement is authorized by this Indenture and the
conditions precedent set forth herein with respect thereto have been satisfied. In addition to the
manner provided in Section 12.1, each Series Supplement may be amended as provided in such
Series Supplement.
Section 12.3. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder of a Note is a
continuing consent by the Noteholder and every subsequent Noteholder of a Note or portion of a Note
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Noteholders Note, even if notation of the consent
is not made on any Note. However, any such Noteholder or subsequent Noteholder may revoke the
consent as to his Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation
before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes
effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Noteholder. BTF may fix a record
date for determining which Noteholders must consent to such amendment or waiver.
Section 12.4. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Note
thereafter authenticated. BTF, in exchange for all Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate
notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.
Section 12.5. The Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any Supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 12 if the
Supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such Supplement, the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive
and, subject to Section 10.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers
52
Certificate of BTF and/or an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such Supplement is
authorized or permitted by this Base Indenture and that all conditions precedent have been
satisfied, and that it will be valid and binding upon BTF in accordance with its terms. BTF may
not sign a Supplement until its Board of Directors approves it.
ARTICLE 13. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 13.1. Notices.
(a) Any notice or communication by BTF or the Trustee to the other shall be in writing and
delivered in person or mailed by first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt
requested), telex, telecopier, facsimile, electronic mail or overnight air courier guaranteeing
next day delivery, to the others address:

BTF or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for
subsequent notices or communications; provided, however, BTF may not at any time
designate more than a total of three (3) addresses to which notices must be sent in order to be
effective.
Any notice (i) given in person shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such
notice, (ii) given by first class mail shall be deemed given five (5) days after the date that
53
such notice is mailed, (iii) delivered by telex, telecopier, facsimile or electronic mail
shall be deemed given on the date of delivery of such notice, and (iv) delivered by overnight air
courier shall be deemed delivered one Business Day after the date that such notice is delivered to
such overnight courier.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no
liability based upon or arising from the failure to receive any notice required by or relating to
this Indenture or the Notes.
If BTF mails a notice or communication to Noteholders, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee at
the same time.
(b) Where the Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided or unless otherwise provided in a
Series Supplement) if sent in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Noteholder
affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed (if any) for the giving of such
notice. In any case where notice to a Noteholder is given by mail, neither the failure to mail
such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice which is mailed in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. Where this
Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver.
In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other
cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be
made that is satisfactory to the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every
purpose hereunder.
Section 13.2. Communication by Noteholders With Other Noteholders.
Noteholders may communicate with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this
Indenture or the Notes.
Section 13.3. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.
Upon any request or application by BTF to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture,
the Trustee may request, and in such case BTF shall furnish to the Trustee, an Officers
Certificate of BTF in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall
include the statements set forth in Section 13.4) stating that, in the opinion of the
signers, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to
the proposed action have been complied with.
Section 13.4. Statements Required in Certificate.
54
Each certificate with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this
Indenture shall include:
(a) a statement that the Person giving such certificate has read such covenant or condition;
(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon
which the statements contained in such certificate are based;
(c) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he has made such examination or
investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not
such covenant or condition has been complied with; and
(d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or
covenant has been complied with.
Section 13.5. Rules by the Trustee.
The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Noteholders.
Section 13.6. No Recourse Against Others.
A director, Authorized Officer, employee or stockholder of BTF, as such, shall not have any
liability for any obligations of BTF under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on,
in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Noteholder by accepting a
Note waives and releases all such liability.
Section 13.7. Duplicate Originals.
The parties may sign any number of copies of this Base Indenture. One signed copy is enough
to prove this Base Indenture.
Section 13.8. Benefits of Indenture.
Except as set forth in a Series Supplement, nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes,
expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under the
Indenture.
Section 13.9. Payment on Business Day.
Unless otherwise specified in the Series Supplement for any Series of Notes, in any case where
any Distribution Date, redemption date or maturity date of any Note shall not be a Business Day,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Base Indenture) payment of interest or principal
(and premium, if any), as the case may be, need not be made on such date but may be made on the
next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Distribution Date,
redemption date, or maturity date; provided, however, that no interest
55
shall accrue for the period from and after such Distribution Date, redemption date, or
maturity date, as the case may be to and including such next succeeding Business Day.
Section 13.10. Governing Law.
THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 13.11. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.
This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of BTF
or an Affiliate of BTF. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret
this Indenture.
Section 13.12. Successors.
All agreements of BTF in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successor;
provided, however, BTF may not assign its obligations or rights under this
Indenture or any Related Document. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its
successor.
Section 13.13. Severability.
In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 13.14. Counterpart Originals.
The parties may sign any number of copies of this Base Indenture. Each signed copy shall be
an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
Section 13.15. Table of Contents, Headings, etc.
The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Base Indenture have
been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall
in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
Section 13.16. Termination; Indenture Collateral.
This Indenture, and any grants, pledges and assignments hereunder, shall become effective
concurrently with the issuance of the first Series of Notes and shall terminate when (a) all Note
Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied, (b) the obligations of each Enhancement
Provider under any Enhancement and related documents have terminated, and (c) any Enhancement shall
have terminated, at which time the Trustee, at the request of BTF and upon receipt of an Officers
Certificate of BTF to the effect that the conditions in clauses (a), (b) and
(c) above have been complied with and upon receipt of a certificate from the Trustee and
each Enhancement Provider to the effect that the conditions in clauses (a), (b) and
(c) above have
56
been complied with, shall reassign (without recourse upon, or any warranty whatsoever by, the
Trustee) and deliver all Collateral and documents then in the custody or possession of the Trustee
promptly to BTF.
BTF and the Secured Parties hereby agree that, if any funds remain on deposit in the
Collection Account after the termination of this Indenture, such amounts shall be released by the
Trustee and paid to BTF.
Section 13.17. No Bankruptcy Petition Against BTF.
Each of the Secured Parties and the Trustee hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the
date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing Note, it will
not institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting, against BTF any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any
Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 13.17 shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or
other payment from BTF pursuant to this Indenture. In the event that any such Secured Party or the
Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 13.17, BTF, as the case may be, shall
file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the
filing of such a petition by any such Secured Party or the Trustee against BTF or the commencement
of such action and raising the defense that such Secured Party or the Trustee has agreed in writing
not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if
any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 13.17 shall
survive the termination of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Nothing
contained herein shall preclude participation by any Secured Party or the Trustee in the assertion
or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving BTF.
Section 13.18. No Recourse.
The obligations of BTF under this Indenture are solely the obligations of BTF. No recourse
shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other
obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Indenture against any member, employee,
officer, manager, or incorporator or other authorized person of BTF. Fees, expenses or costs
payable by BTF hereunder shall be payable by BTF to the extent and only to the extent that BTF is
reimbursed therefor pursuant to any of the Related Documents, or funds are then available or
thereafter become available for such purpose pursuant to Article 5. In the event that BTF
is not reimbursed for such fees, expenses or costs or that sufficient funds are not available for
their payment pursuant to Article 5, the excess unpaid amount of such fees, expenses or costs shall
in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or
corporate obligation of, BTF. Nothing in this Section 13.18 shall be construed to limit
the Trustee from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.
Section 13.19. Waiver of Jury Trial.
EACH OF BTF AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING
57
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
58
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee and BTF have caused this Base Indenture to be duly executed by
their respective duly authorized officers as of the day and year first written above.

Section 3.3 Payments to Noteholders. The Funding Agent with respect to each Purchaser
Group shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (x) no later than two Business Days
prior to each Determination Date, setting forth the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such
Purchaser Group with respect to the portion of the current Series 2006-1 Interest Period ending on
such Business Day and a reasonable estimation of the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such
Purchaser Group for the remainder of such Series 2006-1 Interest Period and (y) within three
Business Days after the end of each calendar month, setting forth the Monthly Funding Costs
(calculated as if such calendar month were a Series 2006-1 Interest Period) with respect to such

following its receipt of such information from each Funding Agent,
31
compile the information provided
in such written notice provided pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above, as applicable, into one
written notice for all Purchaser Groups and forward such notice to the Administrator. On each
Determination Date, the Administrator shall determine the Series 2006-1 Note Rate for the current
Series 2006-1 Interest Period. If the actual amount of the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to
any Purchaser Group for a Series 2006-1 Interest Period is less than or greater than the amount
thereof estimated by the Funding Agent with respect to such Purchaser Group on a Determination
Date, such Funding Agent shall notify the Administrator and the Administrative Agent thereof on the
next succeeding Determination Date and the Administrator shall reduce or increase the Monthly
Funding Costs with respect to such Purchaser Group for the next succeeding Series 2006-1 Interest
Period accordingly. The Administrator shall determine the Series 2006-1 Note Rate for the last
Series 2006-1 Interest Period on the Determination Date immediately preceding the final
Distribution Date based on the information provided by the Funding Agents. If a Funding Agent
determines that the actual Monthly Funding Costs with respect to its Purchaser Group for the last
Series 2006-1 Interest Period will be more or less than the estimate thereof provided to the
Administrator and informs the Administrator of such variance prior to the Distribution Date for
such Series 2006-1 Interest Period, the Administrator shall recalculate the Series 2006-1 Note Rate
for such Series 2006-1 Interest Period. On each Determination Date, as provided below, the
Administrator shall instruct the Paying Agent in writing pursuant to the Administration Agreement
to withdraw, and on the following Distribution Date the Paying Agent, acting in accordance with
such instructions, shall withdraw the amounts required to be withdrawn from the Collection Account

Rate Hedge Proceeds and Interest Collections processed since the preceding Distribution Date and
allocated to the holders of the Series 2006-1 Notes.
(a) Note Interest with respect to the Series 2006-1 Notes. On each

are anticipated to be available from Interest Collections allocable to the Series 2006-1
Notes and the Series 2006-1 Interest Rate Hedge Proceeds processed from, but not including,
the preceding Distribution Date through the succeeding Distribution Date in respect of (w)
first, an amount equal to the Series 2006-1 Monthly Interest for the Series 2006-1 Interest
Period ending on the day preceding the related Distribution Date, (x) second, an amount

Group for the Series 2006-1 Interest Period ending on the day preceding the related
Distribution Date, and (z) fourth, an amount equal to the amount of any unpaid Series
2006-1 Shortfall as of the preceding Distribution Date (together with any accrued interest
on such Series 2006-1 Shortfall). On the following Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
withdraw the amounts described in the first sentence of this Section 3.3(a) from the Series
2006-1 Accrued Interest Account and deposit such amounts in the Series 2006-1 Distribution
Account.
(b) Withdrawals from Series 2006-1 Reserve Account. If the Administrator
determines on any Distribution Date that the amounts available from the Series 2006-1
Accrued Interest Account are insufficient to pay the sum of the amounts described in
32
clauses
(w), (x), (y) and (z) of Section 3.3(a) above on such Distribution Date, the Administrator
shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw from the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account and
deposit in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account on such Distribution Date an amount equal
to the lesser of the Series 2006-1 Available Reserve Account Amount and such insufficiency.

Provider a draft accompanied by a Certificate of Lease Deficit Demand and shall cause
the Lease Deficit Disbursements to be deposited in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account on
such Distribution Date for distribution in accordance with Section 3.4; provided,
however, that if the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account has been established and
funded, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account and
deposit in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the
Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Percentage on such Distribution Date of the least of the

(e) Balance. On or prior to the second Business Day preceding each

writing pursuant to the Administration Agreement to pay the balance (after making the

of such Carrying Charges (other than Carrying Charges provided for above) for such
Series 2006-1 Interest Period; and
(v) fifth, the balance, if any, shall be treated as Principal Collections.
(f) Shortfalls. If the amounts described in Section 3.3 are insufficient to
pay the Series 2006-1 Monthly Interest and the Commitment Fees of the Purchaser Groups on
any Distribution Date, payments of interest to the Series 2006-1 Noteholders and payments of
Commitment Fees to the Purchaser Groups will be reduced on a pro rata basis
by the amount of such deficiency. The aggregate amount, if any, of such deficiency on any
Distribution Date shall be referred to as the Series 2006-1 Shortfall. Interest
shall accrue on the Series 2006-1 Shortfall at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2% per annum.
Section 3.4 Payment of Note Interest and Commitment Fees.
On each Distribution Date, subject to Section 9.8 of the Base Indenture, the Paying Agent
shall, in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture, pay to the Administrative Agent for
the accounts of the Purchaser Groups from the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account the amounts

funds from the Paying Agent on each Distribution Date on account of Series 2006-1 Monthly Interest,
the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Funding Agent with respect to a Purchaser Group an
amount equal to the Monthly Funding Costs with respect to such Purchaser Group with respect to the

any unpaid Series 2006-1 Shortfalls relating to unpaid Series 2006-1 Monthly Interest payable to
such Purchaser Group as of the preceding Distribution Date, together with any interest thereon at

Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 3.4 on account of Series 2006-1 Monthly Interest for the
Series 2006-1 Interest Period ending on the day preceding such Distribution Date is less than such
Series 2006-1 Monthly Interest, the Administrative Agent shall pay the amount available to the

unpaid Series 2006-1 Shortfalls relating to unpaid Commitment Fees payable to such Purchaser Group
as of the preceding
34
Distribution Date, together with any interest thereon at the Alternate Base
Rate plus 2% per annum. If the amount paid to the Administrative Agent on any Distribution Date
pursuant to this Section 3.4 on account of Commitment Fees is less than the Commitment Fees payable
on such Distribution Date, the Administrative Agent shall pay the amount available to the Funding
Agents, on behalf of the Purchaser Groups, on a pro rata basis, based on the
Commitment Fee payable to each Purchaser Group on such Distribution Date. Upon the receipt of
funds from the Trustee or the Paying Agent on any Distribution Date on account of Article VI Costs,
the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the Funding Agent with respect to the CP Conduit
Purchaser or the APA Bank owed such amounts. If the amounts paid to the Administrative Agent on
any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.3(e) on account of Article VI Costs are less than the
Article VI Costs due and payable on such Distribution Date, the Administrative Agent shall pay the
amounts available to the Funding Agents with respect to the CP Conduit Purchasers and APA Banks
owed such amounts, on a pro rata basis, based on the Article VI Costs owing to such
CP Conduit Purchasers and APA Banks. Due and unpaid Article VI Costs owing to a Purchaser Group
shall accrue interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2%; provided that Article VI
Costs shall not be considered due until the first Distribution Date following five days notice to
BTF and the Administrator of such Article VI Costs.

Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group on such Business Day and then to reduce the portion of
the Purchaser Group Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group allocated to Eurodollar
Tranches in such order as such Purchaser Group may select in order to minimize costs payable

specified in the Administration Agreement or any other Related Document (including applicable grace
periods), the Trustee shall make such payment or deposit into or from the Collection Account
without such notice or instruction from the Administrator, provided that the Administrator,
upon request of the Trustee, promptly provides the Trustee with all information necessary to allow
the Trustee to make such a payment or deposit. When any payment or deposit hereunder or under any

Section 3.7 Series 2006-1 Reserve Account. (a) Establishment of Series
2006-1 Reserve Account. BTF shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders, or cause to be established and maintained, an account
(the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the
funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders. The Series
2006-1 Reserve Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a
segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust
company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series
2006-1 Reserve Account; provided that, if at any time such Qualified Institution is no
longer a Qualified Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such depositary
institution or trust company shall be reduced to below BBB- by S&P or Baa2 by Moodys, then BTF
shall, within 30 days of such reduction, establish a new Series 2006-1 Reserve Account with a new
Qualified Institution. If the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account is not maintained in accordance with
the previous sentence, BTF shall establish a new Series 2006-1 Reserve Account, within ten (10)
Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such fact, which complies with such sentence, and shall
instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer all cash
and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2006-1 Reserve Account into the new Series
2006-1 Reserve Account. Initially, the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account shall be established with The
Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.; provided that if the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account is
established with any other institution, BTF shall cause such institution to enter into an agreement
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent establishing control
within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the New York UCC by the Trustee over the Series 2006-1
Reserve Account, including agreements by such institution to (i) to act as the securities
intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC) with respect to the Series
2006-1 Reserve Account; (ii) that each item of property (whether investment property, financial
asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account shall be treated
as a financial asset (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC) and (iii) to comply
with any entitlement order (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) issued by the
Trustee without further consent of BTF.
(b) Administration of the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account. The Administrator may
instruct the institution maintaining the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account to invest funds on deposit
in the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided,
however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless any Permitted
Investment held in the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account is held with the Paying Agent, then such
investment may mature on such Distribution Date and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on
or prior to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series
2006-1 Reserve Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical property
(and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security entitlement) shall be
physically delivered to the Securities Intermediary; (ii) United States security entitlements or
security entitlements shall be controlled (as defined in Section 8-106 of the New York UCC) by the
Securities Intermediary pending maturity or disposition, and (iii) uncertificated securities (and
not United States security entitlements) shall be delivered to the
Securities Intermediary by causing the Securities Intermediary to become the registered holder of such securities.
40
(c) Earnings from Series 2006-1 Reserve Account. All interest and earnings (net of
losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account shall
be deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution.
(d) Series 2006-1 Reserve Account Constitutes Additional Collateral for Series 2006-1
Notes. In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the Note Obligations
with respect to the Series 2006-1 Notes, BTF hereby grants a security interest in and assigns,
pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2006-1
Noteholders, all of BTFs right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or
hereafter existing or acquired): (i) the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account, including any security
entitlement thereto; (ii) all funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iii) all certificates
and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing any or all of the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account
or the funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iv) all investments made at any time and from
time to time with monies in the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account, whether constituting securities,
instruments, general intangibles, investment property, financial assets or other property; (v) all
interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable
or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account,
the funds on deposit therein from time to time or the investments made with such funds; and (vi)
all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash (the items in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are referred to, collectively, as the Series 2006-1 Reserve
Account Collateral). The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in and to all
funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account and in all proceeds
thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the
Series 2006-1 Reserve Account. The Series 2006-1 Reserve Account Collateral shall be under the
sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders. The
Securities Intermediary hereby agrees (i) to act as the securities intermediary (as defined in
Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC) with respect to the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account; (ii)
that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or
cash) credited to the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account shall be treated as a financial asset (as
defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC) and (iii) to comply with any entitlement order
(as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) issued by the Trustee without further
consent of BTF.
(e) Preference Amount Withdrawals from the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account or the Series
2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. If a member of a Purchaser Group notifies the Trustee in
writing of the existence of a Preference Amount, then, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in the next succeeding sentence, on the Business Day on which those conditions
are first satisfied, the Trustee shall withdraw from either (x) on or prior to the Series 2006-1
Letter of Credit Termination Date, the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account or (y) after the Series 2006-1
Letter of Credit Termination Date, the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account and pay to the Funding
Agent for such member an amount equal to such Preference Amount. Prior to any withdrawal from the
Series 2006-1 Reserve Account or the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this Section
3.7(e), the Trustee shall have received (i) a certified copy of the order requiring the return of
such Preference Amount; (ii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee that such order is
final and not subject to appeal; and (iii) a release as to any claim against BTF by the Purchaser
Group for any amount paid in respect of such Preference Amount. On the Business Day after the
Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Termination Date, the Trustee shall
41
transfer the amount on deposit
in the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account.
(f) Series 2006-1 Reserve Account Surplus. In the event that the Series 2006-1
Reserve Account Surplus on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals from the
Series 2006-1 Reserve Account, is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the
written instructions of the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement, shall withdraw
from the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account an amount equal to the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account Surplus
and shall pay such amount to BTF.
(g) Termination of Series 2006-1 Reserve Account. Upon the termination of the
Indenture pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee, acting in accordance with
the written instructions of the Administrator, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the
Series 2006-1 Noteholders and payable from the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account as provided herein,
shall withdraw from the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account all amounts on deposit therein for payment to
BTF.
Section 3.8 Series 2006-1 Letters of Credit and Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account.
(a) Series 2006-1 Letters of Credit and Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account Constitute

time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Series
2006-1 Cash Collateral Account, the funds on deposit therein from time to time or the investments
made with such funds; and (vii) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without
limitation, cash (the items in the foregoing clauses (ii) through (vii) are referred to,
collectively, as the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account Collateral). The Trustee
shall, for the benefit of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders, possess all right, title and interest in
all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account and in all
proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in
respect of the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. The Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account
shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2006-1
Noteholders. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees (i) to act as the securities intermediary
(as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC) with respect to the Series 2006-1 Cash
Collateral Account; (ii) that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset,

2006-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be
treated as a financial asset (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC) and (iii) to
comply with any entitlement order (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) issued by

(10) days prior to the then scheduled Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Expiration Date with respect
to any Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit, excluding the amount available to be drawn under such Series
2006-1 Letter of Credit but taking into account each substitute Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit
which has been obtained from a Series 2006-1 Eligible Letter of Credit Provider and is in full
force and effect on such date, the Series 2006-1 Permitted Principal Amount would be equal to or
more than the Series 2006-1 Invested Amount and the Series 2006-1 Liquidity Amount would be equal
to or greater than the Series 2006-1 Required Liquidity Amount, then the Administrator shall notify
the Trustee in writing no later than two Business Days prior to such Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit

the Series 2006-1 Invested Amount or the Series 2006-1 Liquidity Amount would be less than the
Series 2006-1 Required Liquidity Amount, then the Administrator shall notify the Trustee in writing
no later than two Business Days prior to such Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Expiration Date of (x)
the greater of (A) the excess, if any, of the Series 2006-1 Permitted Principal Amount over the

the terms of this Series Supplement, the Administrator shall instruct the Trustee, in writing, to
draw on each Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the LOC Pro Rata Share of the
Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Provider issuing such Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit of the amount
of such draw on the Series 2006-1 Letters of Credit.
(e) Establishment of Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. On or prior to the Series
2006-1 Closing Date, BTF shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of
the Series 2006-1 Noteholders, or cause to be established and maintained, an account (the
Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the
funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders. The Series
2006-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a
segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust
company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series
2006-1 Cash Collateral Account; provided that, if at any time such Qualified Institution is
no longer a Qualified Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such depository
institution or trust company shall be reduced to below BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moodys, then BTF
shall, within 30 days of such reduction, establish a new Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account with
a new Qualified Institution or a new segregated trust account with the corporate trust department
of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee
for funds deposited in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. If a new Series 2006-1 Cash
Collateral Account is established, BTF shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer all cash
and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account into the new Series
2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. Initially, the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral
44
Account shall be
established with The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.; provided that if the Series
2006-1 Cash Collateral Account is established with any other institution, BTF shall cause such
institution to enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent establishing control within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the New York UCC
by the Trustee over the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account, including agreements by such
institution to (i) to act as the securities intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the
New York UCC) with respect to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account; (ii) that each item of
property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to
the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be treated as a financial asset (as defined in
Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC) and (iii) to comply with any entitlement order (as defined
in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) issued by the Trustee without further consent of BTF.
(f) Administration of the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. BTF may instruct (by
standing instructions or otherwise) the institution maintaining the Series 2006-1 Cash
Collateral Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account
from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such
investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following
the date on which such funds were received, unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series
2006-1 Cash Collateral Account is held with the Paying Agent, in which case such investment may
mature on such Distribution Date so long as such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or
prior to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series
2006-1 Cash Collateral Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical
property (and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security entitlement)
shall be physically delivered to the Securities Intermediary; (ii) United States security
entitlements or security entitlements shall be controlled (as defined in Section 8-106 of the New
York UCC) by the Securities Intermediary pending maturity or disposition, and (iii) uncertificated
securities (and not United States security entitlements) shall be delivered to the Securities
Intermediary by causing the Trustee to become the registered holder of such securities. The
Securities Intermediary shall, at the expense of BTF, take such action as is required to maintain
the Trustees security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the Series 2006-1 Cash
Collateral Account. BTF shall not direct the Securities Intermediary to dispose of (or permit the
disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal
would result in a loss of principal of such Permitted Investment. In the absence of written
investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account
shall remain uninvested.
(g) Earnings from Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. All interest and earnings
(net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2006-1 Cash
Collateral Account shall be deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution.
(h) Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus. In the event that the Series
2006-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus on any Distribution Date (or, after the Series 2006-1 Letter
of Credit Termination Date, on any date) is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance
with the written instructions of the Administrator, shall withdraw from the Series 2006-1 Cash
Collateral Account an amount equal to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus and shall
pay such amount: first, to the Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Providers to the
45
extent of
any unreimbursed drawings under the related Series 2006-1 Reimbursement Agreement, for application
in accordance with the provisions of the related Series 2006-1 Reimbursement Agreement, and,
second, to BTF any remaining amount.
(i) Termination of Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. Upon the termination of
this Series Supplement in accordance with its terms, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the
written instructions of the Administrator, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the
Series 2006-1 Noteholders and payable from the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account as provided
herein, shall withdraw from the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account all amounts on deposit
therein (to the extent not withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.8(h) above) and shall pay such amounts:
first, to the Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Providers to the extent of any unreimbursed
drawings under the related Series 2006-1 Reimbursement Agreement, for application in accordance
with the provisions of the related Series 2006-1 Reimbursement Agreement, and, second, to
BTF any remaining amount.
(j) Termination Date Demands on the Series 2006-1 Letters of Credit. Prior to 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately succeeding the Series 2006-1 Letter of
Credit Termination Date, the Administrator shall determine the Series 2006-1 Demand Note Payment
Amount as of the Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Termination Date. If the Series 2006-1 Demand Note
Payment Amount is greater than zero, then the Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in writing
to draw on the Series 2006-1 Letters of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such
Business Day. Upon receipt of any such notice by the Trustee on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on a Business Day, the Trustee shall, by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such
Business Day draw an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the Series 2006-1 Demand Note
Payment Amount over the Series 2006-1 Available Reserve Account Amount (prior to giving effect to
any transfer to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 3.7(e) on such date)
and (ii) the Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Liquidity Amount on the Series 2006-1 Letters of Credit
by presenting to each Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Provider a draft accompanied by a Certificate
of Termination Date Demand; provided, however, that if the Series 2006-1 Cash
Collateral Account has been established and funded, the Trustee shall draw an amount equal to the
product of (a) 100% minus the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Percentage and (b) the lesser
of the amounts referred to in clause (i) or (ii) on such Business Day on the Series 2006-1 Letters
of Credit as calculated by the Administrator and provided in writing to the Trustee. The Trustee
shall cause the Termination Date Disbursement to be deposited in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral
Account.
Section 3.9 Series 2006-1 Distribution Account.
(a) Establishment of Series 2006-1 Distribution Account. The Trustee shall establish
and maintain in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders, or cause
to be established and maintained, an account (the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account),
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit
of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders. The Series 2006-1 Distribution Account shall be maintained (i)
with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust
department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as
trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account; provided that, if at
any time such Qualified Institution is no longer a Qualified Institution or the
46
credit rating of
any securities issued by such depositary institution or trust company shall be reduced to below
BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moodys, then BTF shall, within 30 days of such reduction, establish a
new Series 2006-1 Distribution Account with a new Qualified Institution. If the Series 2006-1
Distribution Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, BTF shall
establish a new Series 2006-1 Distribution Account, within ten (10) Business Days after obtaining
knowledge of such fact, which complies with such sentence, and shall instruct the Trustee in
writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2006-1 Distribution
Account into the new Series 2006-1 Distribution Account. Initially, the Series 2006-1 Distribution
Account shall be established with The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.; provided that
if the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account is established with any other institution, BTF shall
cause such institution to enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent establishing control within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the New York
UCC by the Trustee over the Series 2006-1
Distribution Account, including agreements by such institution to (i) to act as the securities
intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC) with respect to the Series
2006-1 Distribution Account; (ii) that each item of property (whether investment property,
financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral
Account shall be treated as a financial asset (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York
UCC) and (iii) to comply with any entitlement order (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New
York UCC) issued by the Trustee without further consent of BTF.
(b) Administration of the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account. The Administrator may
instruct the institution maintaining the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account to invest funds on
deposit in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account from time to time in Permitted Investments;
provided, however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the
Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received,
unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account is held with the
Paying Agent, then such investment may mature on such Distribution Date and such funds shall be

ARTICLE VI
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
Section 6.1 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law (except with respect to Taxes which shall be governed by Section 6.2)
shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Affected Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO
Rate); or
54
(ii) impose on any Affected Party or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting the Indenture or the Related Documents or the funding of Eurodollar Tranches by
such Affected Party; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
such Affected Party of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar
Tranches (or maintaining its obligation to do so) or to reduce any amount received or
receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or in connection herewith (whether principal,
interest or otherwise), then BTF shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.
(b) If any Affected Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Partys
capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Affected Party as a consequence of
its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Affected Party or such corporation could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Partys or such
corporations policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, BTF shall pay to
such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for
any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of an Affected Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Affected Party as specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be
delivered to BTF (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent with respect to
such Affected Party) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any payments made by BTF
pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2006-1
Distribution Account for the payment of Article VI Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with
respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against BTF to the extent that insufficient
funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of
this Series Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and
thereunder.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of an Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 6.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Partys right to demand such
compensation; provided that BTF shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party
pursuant to this Section 6.1 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days
prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies BTF of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Partys intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 6.2 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of BTF hereunder shall be made
free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided
that if BTF shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments,
then (i) subject to Section 6.2(c) below, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions
55
applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 6.2) the recipient receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) BTF shall make such deductions and (iii) BTF shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.
(b) In addition, BTF shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.
(c) BTF shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Program Support
Provider and each member of each Purchaser Group within the later of 10 days
after written demand therefor and the Distribution Date next following such demand for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Funding
Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group on or with respect to
any payment by or on account of any obligation of BTF hereunder or under the Indenture (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section 6.2) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that no Person shall
be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) or entitled to receive additional amounts under the
proviso of Section 6.2(a) to the extent that the reason for such indemnification results from the
failure by such Person to comply with the provisions of Section 6.2(e) or (g). A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to BTF by the Administrative Agent, any Funding
Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any Purchaser Group shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Any payments made by BTF pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be made solely from
funds available in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VI Costs,
shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim
against BTF to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the termination of this Series Supplement and the Base Indenture and the
payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by BTF to a
Governmental Authority, BTF shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.
(e) The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each member of each Purchaser Group and each
Program Support Provider, if entitled to an exemption from or reduction of an Indemnified Tax or
Other Tax with respect to payments made hereunder or under the Indenture shall (to the extent
legally able to do so) deliver to BTF (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by BTF
on the later of (i) 30 Business Days after such request is made and the applicable forms are
provided to the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such member of such Purchaser Group or
such Program Support Provider or (ii) 30 Business Days before prescribed by applicable law as will
permit such payments to be made
56
without withholding or with an exemption from or reduction of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.
(f) If the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member
of any Purchaser Group receives a refund solely in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, it
shall pay over such refund to BTF to the extent that it has already received indemnity payments or
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.2 with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to the refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses and without interest (other than
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);
provided, however, that BTF shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such
Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of
such Purchaser Group, repay such refund (plus interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program
Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group if the Administrative Agent, such Funding
Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained herein shall require the
Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any
Purchaser Group to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it
deems confidential) available to BTF or any other Person.
(g) The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Program Support Provider and each
member of each Purchaser Group (other than any such entity which is a domestic corporation) shall:
(i) upon or prior to becoming a party hereto, deliver to BTF and the Administrative
Agent two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or successor
applicable forms or documents, as the case may be, establishing a complete exemption from
withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect
to payments under the Series 2006-1 Notes and this Series Supplement;
(ii) deliver to BTF and the Administrative Agent two (2) further copies of any such
form or certification establishing a complete exemption from withholding of United States
federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect to payments under the Series
2006-1 Notes and this Series Supplement on or before the date that any such form or
certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to BTF; and
(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or
certifications as may reasonably be requested by BTF and the Administrative Agent;
unless, in any such case, any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the Series
2006-1 Closing Date (or, if later, the date the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such
Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group becomes an indemnified party
hereunder) and prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which
renders the relevant form inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent, such
Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group

from duly
completing and delivering the relevant form with respect to it, and the Administrative Agent, such
Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group so advises BTF
and the Administrative Agent.
(h) If a beneficial or equity owner of the Administrative Agent, a Funding Agent, a Program
Support Provider or a member of a Purchaser Group (instead of the Administrative Agent, the Funding
Agent, the Program Support Provider or the member of the Purchaser Group itself) is required under
United States federal income tax law or the terms of a relevant treaty to provide IRS Form W-8BEN,
W-8ECI or W-9, or any successor applicable forms or documents, as the case may be, in order to
claim an exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding
taxes, then each such beneficial owner
or equity owner shall be considered to be the Administrative Agent, a Funding Agent, a Program
Support Provider or a member of a Purchaser Group for purposes of Section 6.2(g).
Section 6.3 Break Funding Payments. BTF agrees to indemnify each Purchaser Group and
to hold each Purchaser Group harmless from any loss or expense which such Purchaser Group may
sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by BTF to accept any Increase or the failure
of the continuation or conversion of a Eurodollar Tranche to occur after BTF has given irrevocable
notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Series Supplement, (b) the
conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Tranche that occurs other than on the last day of
the applicable Eurodollar Period, (c) default by BTF in making any prepayment in connection with a
Decrease after BTF has given irrevocable notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.5 or any Increase not being continued as, or converted into, an Increase under the
Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an Advance has been made in accordance with the terms
contained herein, or (d) the making of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Tranche (including, without
limitation, any Decrease) prior to the termination of the Eurodollar Period for such Eurodollar
Tranche, as the case may be, or the making of a Decrease on a date other than as specified in any
notice of a Decrease or in a greater amount than contained in any notice of a Decrease. Such
indemnification shall include an amount determined by the Funding Agent with respect to such
Purchaser Group and shall equal (a) in the case of the losses or expenses associated with a
Eurodollar Tranche, either (x) the excess, if any, of (i) such Purchaser Groups cost of funding
the amount so prepaid or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of
such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the Eurodollar
Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Eurodollar Period that
would have commenced on the date of such prepayment or of such failure), as the case may be, over
(ii) the amount of interest earned by such Purchaser Group upon redeployment of an amount of funds
equal to the amount prepaid or not borrowed, converted or continued for a comparable period or (y)
if such Purchaser Group is able to terminate the funding source before its scheduled maturity, any
costs associated with such termination and (b) in the case of the losses or expenses incurred by a
CP Conduit Purchaser, the losses and expenses incurred by such CP Conduit Purchaser in connection
with the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such CP Conduit
Purchaser as a result of a failure to accept an Increase, a default in the making of a Decrease or
the making of a Decrease in an amount or on a date not contained in a notice of a Decrease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments made by BTF pursuant to this subsection shall be made
solely from funds available in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VI
Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a
claim
58
against BTF to the extent that such funds are insufficient to make such payment. This
covenant shall survive the termination of this Series Supplement and the Base Indenture and the
payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder. A certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any Funding Agent on behalf of a
Purchaser Group to BTF shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 6.4 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Eurodollar Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by any APA Bank that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for
such Eurodollar Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such APA Bank of
making or maintaining the Eurodollar Tranches during such Eurodollar Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to BTF and
the Trustee, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies BTF and the Trustee that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Available APA Bank Funding Amount
with respect to any Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (a) above) or with respect to the
related Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (b) above) shall not be allocated to any Eurodollar
Tranche.
Section 6.5 Mitigation Obligations. If an Affected Party requests compensation under
Section 6.1, or if BTF is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser Group or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser Group pursuant to Section 6.2, then, upon
written notice from BTF, such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, as the case may be, shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its
obligations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, which pays a price for such assignment which is acceptable to such
Purchaser Group and its assignee, in the judgment of such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.1 or
6.2, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Party or Purchaser
Group to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Affected Party or Purchaser Group. BTF hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by such Affected Party or Purchaser Group in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 8.1 Appointment. Each of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the
Funding Agents hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of
such Person under this Series Supplement and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in
such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Series Supplement and
to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of this Series Supplement, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Series
Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any CP Conduit Purchaser, any APA
Bank or any Funding Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Series Supplement or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent.
Section 8.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Series Supplement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled
to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the
Base Indenture, this Series Supplement or any other Related Document (except to the extent that any
of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Persons own gross negligence or willful misconduct)
or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks or the Funding
Agents for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by BTF, the Lessee, the
Guarantor, the Administrator or any officer thereof contained in this Series Supplement or any
other Related Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Series
Supplement or any other Related Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Series Supplement, any other Related Document, or for any
failure of any of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor or the Administrator to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent
62
shall not be under any obligation to any CP
Conduit Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Series
Supplement, any other Related Document or to inspect the properties, books or records of BTF, the
Lessee, the Guarantor or the Administrator.
Section 8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including, without limitation, counsel to BTF or the Administrator), independent accountants and
other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat
the registered holder of any Series 2006-1 Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a
written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to
take any action under this Series Supplement or any other Related Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Series 2006-1 Required Noteholders, as it deems
appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Funding Agents against any
and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Series Supplement and the other Related Documents in accordance
with a request of the Series 2006-1 Required Noteholders (unless, in the case of any action
relating to the giving of consent hereunder, the giving of such consent requires the consent of all
Series 2006-1 Noteholders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents.
Section 8.5 Notice of Administrator Default or Amortization Event or Potential
Amortization Event. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice
of the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event or any Administrator
Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a CP Conduit Purchaser, an
APA Bank, a Funding Agent, BTF or the Administrator referring to the Indenture or this Series
Supplement, describing such Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, or Administrator
Default and stating that such notice is a notice of an Amortization Event or Potential
Amortization Event or notice of an Administrator Default, as the case may be. In the event that
the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof
to the Funding Agents, the Trustee, BTF and the Administrator. The Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the Series 2006-1
Required Noteholders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable
in the best interests of the Purchaser Groups.
Section 8.6 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Purchaser Groups. Each
of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents expressly acknowledges that
neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no
63
act by
the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of BTF, the Lessee,
the Guarantor or the Administrator shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by
the Administrative Agent to any such Person. Each of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and
the Funding Agents represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other CP Conduit Purchaser, APA Bank or Funding Agent
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of
and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor and the Administrator and made its own decision
to enter into this Series Supplement. Each of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the
Funding Agents also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other CP Conduit Purchaser, APA Bank or Funding Agent, and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Series
Supplement and the other Related Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to
inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor and the Administrator. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Funding Agents by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to
provide any CP Conduit Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects or creditworthiness of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor or the Administrator which may come
into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
Section 8.7 Indemnification. Each of the APA Banks in a Purchaser Group agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by BTF and
the Administrator and without limiting the obligation of BTF and the Administrator to do so),
ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which
indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or if indemnification is sought after the date
upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Purchaser Group Invested Amounts shall
have been reduced to zero, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages immediately
prior to such date of payment) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Series Supplement, any of the other Related
Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or
in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no APA Bank or Funding Agent
shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a
final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the
Administrative Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section
shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.
64
Section 8.8 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind
of business with BTF, the Administrator or any of their Affiliates as though the Administrative
Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to any Series 2006-1 Note held by
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Series Supplement and the other Related Documents as any APA Bank or Funding Agent and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms APA Bank, and Funding
Agent shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 8.9 Resignation of Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving 30 days notice to
the Funding Agents, the Trustee, BTF and the Administrator. If DBSI shall resign as Administrative
Agent under this Series Supplement, then the Series 2006-1 Required Noteholders shall appoint a
successor administrative agent from among the Funding Agents, which successor administrative agent
shall be approved by BTF and the Administrator (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Administrative Agent, and the term Administrative Agent shall mean such successor agent effective
upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agents rights, powers and duties
as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part
of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Series Supplement. If no
successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which
is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agents notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agents resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Administrator shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
until such time, if any, as the Series 2006-1 Required Noteholders appoint a successor agent as
provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agents resignation as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of Section 2.7 and this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Series Supplement.
ARTICLE IX
THE FUNDING AGENTS

hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Funding Agent set forth next to such CP Conduit
Purchasers name on Schedule I as the agent of such Person under this Series Supplement and
irrevocably authorizes such Funding Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf
under the provisions of this Series Supplement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
as are expressly delegated to such Funding Agent by the terms of this Series Supplement, together
with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary elsewhere in this Series Supplement, each Funding Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any CP

obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Series Supplement or otherwise exist against
each Funding Agent.
Section 9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Funding Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Series Supplement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to

directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall not be (i) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the
Base Indenture, this Series Supplement or any other Related Document (except to the extent that any
of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Persons own gross negligence or willful misconduct)
or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the CP Conduit Purchasers and/or APA Banks for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor, the
Administrator, the Administrative Agent, or any officer thereof contained in this Series Supplement
or any other Related Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred
to or provided for in, or received by such Funding Agent under or in connection with, this Series
Supplement or any other Related Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Series Supplement, any other Related Document, or for any
failure of any of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, or the Administrator to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Each Funding Agent shall not be under any
obligation to the CP Conduit Purchaser or any APA Bank in its Purchaser Group to ascertain or to
inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Series Supplement, any other Related Document or to inspect the properties, books or
records of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, or the Administrator.
Section 9.4 Reliance by Each Funding Agent. Each Funding Agent shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or
teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to BTF or the
Administrator), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Funding Agent. Each
Funding Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Series
Supplement or any other Related Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence

satisfaction by the Related Purchaser Group against any and all liability and expense which may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Section 9.5 Notice of Administrator Default or Amortization Event or Potential
Amortization Event. Each Funding Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the

BTF, the Administrative Agent or the Administrator referring to the Indenture or this Series
Supplement, describing such Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, or Administrator
Default and stating that such notice is a notice of an Amortization Event or Potential
Amortization Event or notice of an Administrator Default, as the case may be. In the event that
any Funding Agent receives such a notice, such Funding Agent shall give notice thereof to the CP
Conduit Purchaser and APA Banks in its Purchaser Group. Such Funding Agent shall take such action
with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the CP Conduit Purchaser and APA
Banks in its Purchaser Group, provided that unless and until such Funding Agent shall have received
such directions, such Funding Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best

Conduit Purchaser and each of the related APA Banks expressly acknowledge that neither its Funding
Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has
made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Funding Agent hereinafter
taken, including any review of the affairs of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor, the Administrative
Agent, or the Administrator shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such
Funding Agent to any such Person. Each CP Conduit Purchaser and each of the related APA Banks
represents to its Funding Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Funding
Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, and the

taking or not taking action under this Series Supplement and the other Related Documents, and to

the Administrator.
Section 9.7 Indemnification. Each APA Bank in a Purchaser Group agrees to indemnify
its Funding Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by BTF and the
Administrator and without limiting the obligation of BTF and the Administrator to do so), ratably
according to its respective APA Bank Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is
sought under this Section 9.7 (or if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the
Commitments shall have been terminated, ratably in accordance with its APA Bank Percentage at the
time of termination) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which
may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Funding Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Series Supplement, any of the other Related Documents or any
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Funding

the foregoing; provided that no APA Bank shall be liable for the payment of any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such related Funding Agents gross negligence or

diminish the obligations of the APA Bank with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser under Section
2.3 to fund any Increase.

the extent that the related selling APA Bank would have had such right absent the sale of the
related participation and, with respect to
69
amounts due pursuant to Section 6.2, only to the extent

Act and has sufficient assets to bear the economic risk of, and sufficient knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of, its investment in a Series
2006-1 Note. Each CP Conduit Purchaser and APA Bank agrees that its Series 2006-1 Note will be
acquired for investment only and not with a view to any public distribution thereof, and that such
CP Conduit Purchaser and APA Bank will not offer to sell or otherwise dispose of its Series 2006-1
Note (or any interest therein) in violation of any of the registration requirements of the

confirms and agrees that in connection with any transfer by it of an interest in the Series 2006-1

solicitation or general advertising including advertisements, articles, notices or other
communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over radio or
television, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation
or general advertising.
Section 10.3 Adjustments; Set-off.
70
(a) If any CP Conduit Purchaser or APA Bank in a Purchaser Group (a Benefited Purchaser
Group) shall at any time receive in respect of its Purchaser Group Invested Amount any
distribution of principal, interest, Commitment Fees or any interest thereon, or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise) in a
greater proportion than any such distribution received by any other Purchaser Group, if any, in
respect of such other Purchaser Groups Purchaser Group Invested Amount, or interest thereon, the
APA Banks in such Benefited Purchaser Group shall purchase for cash from the CP Conduit Purchaser
or APA Banks in the other Purchaser Group such portion of such other CP Conduit Purchasers or APA
Banks interest in the Series 2006-1 Notes, or shall provide such other CP Conduit Purchaser or APA
Bank with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to
cause such Benefited Purchaser Group to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or
proceeds ratably with the other Purchaser Group; provided, however, that if all or
any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited
Purchaser Group, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to
the extent of such recovery, but without interest. BTF agrees that any CP Conduit Purchaser or APA
Bank so purchasing a portion of another Purchaser Groups Purchaser Group Invested Amount may
exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to

apply against any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims,
in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Purchaser Group to or for the credit or the account of
BTF. Each CP Conduit Purchaser and APA Bank agrees promptly to notify BTF, the Administrator and
the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such CP Conduit Purchaser
or APA Bank; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application.

Agents hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the

Commercial Paper and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims
relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such CP Conduit Purchaser but shall continue
to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of
Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party against a CP Conduit Purchaser shall be
subordinated to the payment in full of all of its Commercial Paper.
(b) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any CP Conduit Purchaser
contained herein shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or
agent of such CP Conduit Purchaser, its administrative agent, the Funding
Agent with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser or any of their Affiliates by the enforcement
of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise;

in consideration for the execution of this Series Supplement; provided that the foregoing

Delaware corporation, or its permitted assigns (Holder) on any date of demand (each, a
Demand Date) the principal sum of $[ ], together with interest thereon at a rate
per annum (the Interest Rate) equal to LIBOR plus [ ]%, computed on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day).
Definitions. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Demand Note shall have the
respective meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture, dated as of May 11, 2006 (as may be
amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, exclusive of Series Supplements
thereto creating a new Series of Notes, the Base Indenture), between Budget Truck
Funding, LLC and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as
trustee (the Trustee), as supplemented by the Series 2006-1 Supplement, dated as of May

Principal. The outstanding principal balance (or any portion thereof) of this Demand Note

portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Demand Note may be voluntarily prepaid.
Interest. Interest shall be paid monthly on the 20th day (or the first Business
Day thereafter) of each calendar month commencing [ , ]. In addition, interest shall be
paid on each Demand Date to the extent demand is made therefor.
Calculation of Principal and Interest. The interest shall be computed on a monthly basis
by applying the Interest Rate effective for the Series 2006-1 Interest Period to the outstanding
principal balance for such Series 2006-1 Interest Period. The outstanding principal balance as of
any day shall be the outstanding principal balance as of the beginning of such day, less any
payments of principal credited to the Demand Note Issuers account on that day. The records of
Holder with respect to amounts due and payments received hereunder shall be presumed to be correct
evidence thereof.
EXHIBIT G
Maturity Date. On the Demand Date on which payment of the remaining principal balance of
this Demand Note is to be made, or such earlier date as payment of the indebtedness evidenced
hereby shall be due, whether by mandatory prepayment, acceleration or otherwise (the Maturity
Date), the entire outstanding principal balance of this Demand Note, together with accrued
interest and any other sums then outstanding under this Demand Note, shall be due and payable.
Payments. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by
wire transfer in immediately available funds and shall be applied first to fees and costs,
including collection costs, if any, next to interest and then to principal. Payments shall be made
to the account designated in the written demand for payment.
Collection Costs. The Demand Note Issuer agrees to pay all costs of collection of this
Demand Note, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, paralegals fees and other
legal costs (including court costs) incurred in connection with consultation, arbitration and
litigation (including trial, appellate, administrative and bankruptcy proceedings) regardless of
whether or not suit is brought, and all other costs and expenses incurred by Holder exercising its
rights and remedies hereunder. Such costs of collection shall bear interest at the Default Rate
(as defined below) until paid.
Default. (a) If the Demand Note Issuer shall fail to pay any principal, interest or other
amounts on the date of written demand for payment; provided that such demand is made prior to 2:00
p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, or on the next Business Day if written demand is made
on or after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, or (b) upon the occurrence of an
Event of Bankruptcy with respect to the Demand Note Issuer (each, an Event of Default),
the entire outstanding principal balance of this Demand Note, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest, shall (x) in the case of an Event of Default under clause (a) above, at the option of
Holder and without further notice (any notice of such event being hereby waived by the Demand Note
Issuer), or (y) in the case of an Event of Default under clause (b) above, automatically without
notice (any notice of any such event being waived by the Demand Note Issuer), become immediately
due and payable and may be collected forthwith, and Holder may exercise any and all rights and
remedies provided herein, in law or in equity.
Default Interest. After the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
outstanding principal balance of this Demand Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
accrued and unpaid interest, shall bear interest (the Default Rate) at the Interest Rate
plus two percent (2%) until paid in full, provided, however, in no event shall such rate exceed the
highest rate permissible under applicable law.
Waivers. The Demand Note Issuer waives all applicable exemption rights and also waives
valuation and appraisement, demand, presentment, protest and demand, and notice of protest, demand
and dishonor, and nonpayment of this Demand Note, and agrees that Holder shall have the right,
without notice, to grant any extension or extensions of time for payment of any of said
indebtedness or any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever.
No Waiver. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising its rights under this
Demand Note, or delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising its rights hereunder, or
course of conduct relating thereto, shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any other right of
EXHIBIT G
Holder, nor shall any waiver by Holder of any such right or rights on any one occasion be deemed a
bar to, or waiver of, the same right or rights on any future occasion. Acceptance by Holder of any
payment after its due date shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require prompt payment when
due of all other sums, and acceptance of any payment after Holder has declared the indebtedness
evidenced by this Demand Note due and payable shall not cure any Event of Default or operate as a
waiver of any right of Holder.
Modifications. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any
provision of this Demand Note shall in any event be effective unless (a) the same shall be in
writing and signed and delivered by each of Holder and the Demand Note Issuer, and (b) all consents
required for such actions under the Base Indenture and the Related Documents shall have been
received by the appropriate Persons.
Binding Effect. This Demand Note shall be binding upon the Demand Note Issuer and its
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Holder and its successors and assigns.
Governing Law. THIS DEMAND NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK AND SHALL BE
DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

benefit of the Secured Parties under the Series 2006-1 Supplement. The parties intend that this
Demand Note will be pledged by the initial Holder to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured
Parties under the Series 2006-1 Supplement and the Demand Note Issuer consents and agrees thereto.

MASTER MOTOR VEHICLE
OPERATING LEASE AGREEMENT
This Master Motor Vehicle Operating Lease Agreement (this Agreement), dated as of
May 11, 2006, is made by and among BUDGET TRUCK FUNDING, LLC (BTF), a Delaware limited liability
company (the Lessor), BUDGET TRUCK RENTAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(BTR), as lessee (the Lessee) and as administrator (the
Administrator), and AVIS BUDGET CAR RENTAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(ABCR), as guarantor (the Guarantor).
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the Lessor intends to purchase trucks (the Trucks) that are manufactured by
Eligible Truck Manufacturers with the proceeds obtained by the issuance of the Series 2006-1 Notes
pursuant to the Base Indenture (referred to below) and the Series 2006-1 Supplement thereto and any
additional Series of Notes issued from time to time under the Base Indenture and related Series
Supplements thereto.
WHEREAS, the Lessor desires to lease to the Lessee and the Lessee desires to lease from the
Lessor the BTF Trucks set forth on Attachments A hereto for use in the daily rental business of the
Lessee; and
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has, pursuant to Section 22 hereof, guaranteed the obligations
of the Lessee under this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby
agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used herein
(including the preamble and recitals hereto) shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Definitions List attached as Annex I to the Base Indenture, dated as of May 11,
2006 (the Base Indenture), between the Lessor, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., as Trustee, as such Definitions List may from time to time be amended in accordance
with the Base Indenture.
2. GENERAL AGREEMENT. (a) The Lessee and the Lessor intend that this Agreement is an
operating lease and that the relationship between the Lessor and the Lessee pursuant hereto shall
always be only that of lessor and lessee, and the Lessee hereby declares, acknowledges and agrees
that the Lessor is the
owner of, and the Lessor holds legal title to, the BTF Trucks. The Lessee shall not acquire
by virtue of this Agreement any right, equity, title or interest in or to any BTF Trucks, except
the right to use the same under the terms hereof. The
parties agree that this Agreement is a true
lease and agree to treat this Agreement as a lease for all purposes, including tax, accounting and
otherwise and each party hereto will take no position on its tax returns and filings contrary to
the position that the Lessor is the owner of the BTF Trucks for federal and state income tax
purposes.
(b) If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this Agreement, this Agreement is
characterized by any third party as a financing arrangement or as otherwise not constituting a
true lease, then it is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under applicable law, and, to secure all of its obligations under this
Agreement, the Lessee hereby grants to the Lessor a security interest in all of the Lessees right,
title and interest, if any, in and to all of the following assets, property and interests in
property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or created:
(i) the rights of the Lessee under this Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified
or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, and any other agreements
related to or in connection with this Agreement to which the Lessee is a party (the
Lessee Agreements), including, without limitation, (a) all monies, if any, due and
to become due to the Lessee from the Guarantor under or in connection with any of the Lessee
Agreements, whether payable as rent, guaranty payments, fees, expenses, costs, indemnities,
insurance recoveries, damages for the breach of any of the Lessee Agreements or otherwise,
(b) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Lessee against any other
party under or with respect to the Lessee Agreements (whether arising pursuant to the terms
of such Lessee Agreements or otherwise available to the Lessee at law or in equity),
including the right to enforce any of the Lessee Agreements and to give or withhold any and
all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or with
respect to the Lessee Agreements or the obligations and liabilities of any party thereunder,
(c) all liens and property from time to time purporting to secure payment of the obligations
and liabilities of the Lessee arising under or in connection with the Lessee Agreements,
together with any documents or agreements describing any collateral securing such
obligations or liabilities and (d) all guarantees, insurance and other agreements or
arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such
obligations and liabilities of the Lessee pursuant to the Lessee Agreements;
(ii) all BTF Trucks which, notwithstanding that this Agreement is intended to convey
only a leasehold interest, are determined to be owned by the Lessee, and all Certificates of
Title with respect to the BTF Trucks;
(iii) all right, title and interest of the Lessee in and to any proceeds from the sale
of BTF Trucks which, notwithstanding that this Agreement is intended to convey only a
leasehold interest, are determined to be owned by the Lessee, including all monies due in
respect of such BTF Trucks, whether payable as the purchase price of such BTF Trucks or as
fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance recoveries or otherwise;
2
(iv) all payments under insurance policies (whether or not the Lessor or the Trustee is
named as the loss payee thereof) or any warranty payable by reason of loss or damage to, or
otherwise with respect to, any of the BTF Trucks;
(v) all additional property that may from time to time hereafter be subjected to the
grant and pledge under this Agreement, as same may be modified or supplemented from time to
time, by the Lessee or by anyone on its behalf; and
(vi) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing including, without limitation,
payments under insurance (whether or not the Lessor is named as the loss payee thereof) and
cash.
(c) To secure the Note Obligations, the Lessee hereby grants to the Trustee, on behalf of the
Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in all of the Lessees right, title and
interest, if any, in and to all of the collateral described in Section 2(b) above, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired or created. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default
or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default and subject to the provisions of the Related Documents,
the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party, including, without
limitation, the rights and remedies granted under the UCC.
(d) The Lessee agrees to deliver to the Lessor and the Trustee on or before the Initial
Closing Date:
(i) a written search report from a Person satisfactory to the Lessor and the Trustee
listing all effective financing statements that name the Lessee as debtor or assignor, and
that are filed in the jurisdictions in which filings were made pursuant to clause (ii)
below, together with copies of such financing statements, and tax and judgment lien search
reports from a Person satisfactory to the Lessor and the Trustee showing no evidence of
liens filed against the Lessee that purport to affect any BTF Trucks or any Collateral under
the Base Indenture;
(ii) evidence of the filing in the State of Delaware of proper financing statements on
Form UCC-1 naming the Lessee, as debtor, and the Lessor, as secured party, covering the
collateral described in Section 2(b) hereof; and
(iii) evidence of the filing in the State of Delaware of proper financing statements on
Form UCC-l naming the Lessee, as debtor, and the Trustee as secured party covering the
collateral described in Section 2(b) hereof.
2.1. Lease of BTF Trucks. From time to time, subject to the terms and provisions hereof,
the Lessor agrees to lease to the Lessee and the Lessee agrees to lease from the Lessor, subject to
the terms hereof, (i) the BTF Trucks identified in Attachment A hereto (which
Attachment A shall set forth the VIN, the model, the manufacturer, and the Initial Closing
Date Net Book Value of each BTF Truck) and (ii) each additional Truck purchased by the Lessee as
agent for the Lessor, as identified in a supplement to Attachment A (in the form of Attachment B)
setting forth the VIN, the model, the
manufacturer, the Initial Purchase Net Book Value of such Truck (each, a Vehicle Acquisition
Schedule), produced from time to time by such
3
Lessee. The Lessor shall, subject to Section 2.5
below and compliance with the terms of the Indenture, make available BTF Trucks for lease to the
Lessee. In addition, each Lessee shall provide such other information regarding such Trucks as the
Lessor may reasonably require from time to time. The Lessor shall lease to the Lessees, and the
Lessees shall lease from the Lessor, only Trucks that are Eligible Trucks. This Agreement and any
other related documents attached to this Agreement (collectively, the Supplemental
Documents), will constitute the entire agreement regarding the leasing of BTF Trucks by the
Lessor to the Lessee.
2.2. Right of Lessees to Act as Lessors Agent. (a) The Lessor agrees that the Lessee
may act as the Lessors agent in acquiring Additional BTF Trucks on behalf of the Lessor, as well
as filing claims on behalf of the Lessor for damage in transit, and other delivery related claims
with respect to the BTF Trucks leased hereunder; provided, however, that the Lessor may hold the
Lessee liable for such Lessees actions in performing as the Lessors agent hereunder. In
addition, the Lessor agrees that the Lessee may make arrangements for delivery of Trucks to a
location selected by the Lessee at the Lessees expense. The Lessee may accept or reject Eligible
Trucks upon delivery in accordance with the Lessees customary business practices, and any Eligible
Trucks, if rejected, will be deemed a Casualty hereunder. The Lessee, acting as agent for the
Lessor, shall be responsible for pursuing any rights of the Lessor with respect to the return of
any Eligible Trucks to the manufacturer thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Lessee
agrees that all Trucks ordered as provided herein shall be Eligible Vehicles.
(b) The Lessee, acting as agent for the Lessor, shall be responsible for complying with the
Titling Procedures for all BTF Trucks promptly upon the acquisition thereof (but in no event later
than three (3) Business Days after such acquisition).
2.3. Payment of Purchase Price by Lessor. Upon receipt of the manufacturers invoice
and certificate of origin in respect of any new Truck, the Lessor or its agent shall pay or cause
to be paid to the related manufacturer the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
acquisition of such Truck as established by the invoice of the manufacturer (the Initial
Acquisition Cost), for such Truck and the Lessee shall pay all applicable costs and expenses of
freight, packing, handling, storage, shipment and delivery of such Truck to the extent that the
same have not been included within the Initial Acquisition Cost.
2.4. Non-Liability of Lessor. The Lessor shall not be liable to the Lessee for any
failure or delay in making delivery of BTF Trucks. AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE,
ACCEPTANCE FOR LEASE OF THE BTF TRUCKS LEASED BY THE LESSEE SHALL CONSTITUTE THE LESSEES
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT THAT THE LESSEE HAS FULLY INSPECTED SUCH BTF TRUCKS, THAT SUCH BTF
TRUCKS ARE IN GOOD ORDER AND CONDITION AND ARE OF THE MANUFACTURE, DESIGN, SPECIFICATIONS AND
CAPACITY REQUIRED BY THE LESSEE, THAT THE LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT THE SAME ARE SUITABLE FOR THIS
USE AND THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER OR ENGAGED IN THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF BTF TRUCKS, AND HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT
HEREBY MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION,
QUALITY, DURABILITY OR SUITABILITY OF THE BTF
4
TRUCK IN ANY RESPECT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR FOR THE
PURPOSES OR USES OF THE LESSEE, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF ANY KIND OR
CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT THERETO. The Lessor shall not be liable for any
failure or delay in delivering any BTF Truck leased pursuant to this Agreement, or for any failure
to perform any provision hereof, resulting from fire or other casualty, natural disaster, riot,
strike or other labor difficulty, governmental regulation or restriction, or any cause beyond the
Lessors direct control. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LESSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES, LOSS OF
PROFITS OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN OR
ANY THEFT, DAMAGE, LOSS OR FAILURE OF ANY BTF TRUCK, AND THERE SHALL BE NO ABATEMENT OF MONTHLY
BASE RENT, SUPPLEMENTAL RENT OR OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER BECAUSE OF THE SAME.
2.5. Lessees Rights to Purchase BTF Trucks. The Lessee shall have the option,
exercisable with respect to any BTF Truck during the Vehicle Term with respect to such BTF Truck,
to purchase any BTF Truck leased by the Lessee at the greater of (i) the Termination Value or (ii)
the fair market value of such BTF Truck (the greater of such amounts being referred to as the
Vehicle Purchase Price), in which event the Lessee will pay the Vehicle Purchase Price to
the Lessor on or before the Distribution Date with respect to the Related Month in which the Lessee

6. RISK OF LOSS: CASUALTY OBLIGATIONS.
6.1. Risk of Loss Borne by Lessee. Upon delivery of each BTF Truck to the Lessee, as
between the Lessor and the Lessee, the Lessee assumes and bears the risk of loss, damage, theft,
taking, destruction, attachment, seizure, confiscation or requisition with respect to such BTF
Truck, however caused or occasioned, and all other risks and liabilities, including personal injury
or death and property damage, arising with respect to such BTF Truck due to the manufacture,
purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, leasing, subleasing, possession, use,
inspection, registration, operation, condition, maintenance, repair, storage, sale, return or other
disposition of such BTF Truck, howsoever arising.
6.2. Casualty. If a BTF Truck becomes a Casualty, then the Lessee will (i) promptly
notify the Lessor thereof and (ii) promptly, but in no event later than the Distribution Date with
respect to the Related Month during which such BTF Truck became a Casualty, pay to the Lessor the
Termination Value of such BTF Truck (as of the date such BTF Truck became a Casualty). Upon
payment by the Lessee to the Lessor of the Termination Value of any BTF Truck that has become a
Casualty (i) the Lessor shall cause title to such BTF Truck to be transferred to the Lessee to
facilitate liquidation of such BTF Truck by the Lessee, (ii) the Lessee shall be entitled to any
physical damage insurance proceeds applicable to such BTF Truck and (iii) the Administrator shall
request the Trustee to remove notation of its Lien (or, if applicable, to cause any Nominee
Lienholder to remove notation of its Lien) from the Certificate of Title for such BTF Truck.
7. BTF TRUCK USE. So long as no Lease Event of Default, Liquidation Event of Default
or Limited Liquidation Event of Default has occurred (subject, however, to Section 2.5
hereof), the Lessee may use BTF Trucks leased hereunder in its regular course of business. Such
use shall be confined solely to the United States, and the principal place of business or rental
office of the Lessee with respect to the BTF Trucks shall be located in the United States. The
Administrator shall promptly and duly execute, deliver, file and record all such documents,
statements, filings and registrations and take such further actions as the Lessor or the Trustee
shall from time to time reasonably request in order to establish, perfect and maintain the Lessors
rights to and interest in the BTF Trucks and the Certificates of Title as against the Lessee or any
third party in any applicable jurisdiction and to establish, perfect and maintain the Trustees
Lien on the BTF Trucks and the Certificates of Title as a perfected first lien in any applicable
jurisdiction. The Lessee may, at its sole expense, change the place of principal location of any
BTF Trucks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change of location shall be undertaken unless and
until (x) all actions necessary to maintain the Lien of the Trustee on such BTF Trucks and the
Certificates of Title with respect to such BTF Trucks shall have been taken and (y) all legal
requirements applicable to such BTF Trucks shall have been met or obtained. Following the
occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a Liquidation
Event of Default, the Lessee shall advise the Lessor in writing where all BTF Trucks leased
hereunder as of such date are principally located. The Lessee shall not knowingly use any BTF
Trucks or knowingly permit the same to be used for any unlawful purpose. The Lessee shall use
reasonable precautions to prevent loss or damage to BTF Trucks. The Lessee shall comply with all
applicable statutes, decrees, ordinances and regulations regarding acquiring, titling, registering,
leasing, insuring and disposing of BTF Trucks and shall take reasonable steps to
9
ensure that
operators are licensed. The Lessee and the Lessor agree that the Lessee shall perform, at the
Lessees own expense, such BTF Truck preparation and conditioning services with respect to BTF
Trucks leased by the Lessee hereunder as are customary. The Lessor or the Trustee or any
authorized representative of the Lessor or the Trustee may during reasonable business hours from
time to time, without disruption of the Lessees business, subject to applicable law, inspect BTF
Trucks and registration certificates, Certificates of Title and related documents covering BTF
Trucks wherever the same be located. The Lessee shall not sublease any BTF Trucks or assign any
right or interest herein or in any BTF Trucks; provided, however, the foregoing
shall not be deemed to prohibit the Lessee from renting BTF Trucks to third party customers in the
ordinary course of its business.
8. LIENS. Except for Permitted Liens, the Lessee shall keep all BTF Trucks leased by
it hereunder free of all Liens arising during the Term. Upon the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date for
each BTF Truck, should any such Lien exist on such BTF Truck, the Lessor may, in its discretion,
remove such Lien, and any sum of money that may be paid by the Lessor in release or discharge
thereof, including attorneys fees and costs, will be paid by the Lessee upon demand by the Lessor.
The Lessor may grant security interests in the BTF Trucks leased by the Lessee hereunder without
consent of the Lessee; provided, however, that if any such Liens would interfere
with the rights of the Lessee under this Agreement, the Lessor must obtain the prior written
consent of the
Lessee. The Lessee agrees and acknowledges that the granting of Liens and the taking of other
actions pursuant to the Indenture and the other Related Documents does not interfere with the
rights of the Lessee under this Agreement.
9. NON-DISTURBANCE. So long as the Lessee satisfies its obligations hereunder, its
quiet enjoyment, possession and use of the BTF Trucks leased by the Lessee hereunder will not be
disturbed during the Term, subject, however, to Sections 2.6 and 18 hereof and
except that the Lessor and the Trustee each retains the right, but not the duty, to inspect the BTF
Trucks without disturbing the ordinary conduct of the Lessees business. Upon the request of the
Lessor or the Trustee from time to time, the Lessee will make reasonable efforts to confirm to the
Lessor and the Trustee the location, mileage and condition of each BTF Truck leased by the Lessee
hereunder and to make available for the Lessors or the Trustees inspection within a reasonable
time period, not to exceed 45 days, the BTF Trucks at the location where such BTF Trucks are
normally domiciled. Further, the Lessee will, during normal business hours and with a notice of
three Business Days, make its records pertaining to the BTF Trucks available to the Lessor or the
Trustee for inspection at the location where the Lessees records are normally domiciled.
10. REGISTRATION; LICENSE; TRAFFIC SUMMONSES; PENALTIES AND FINES. The Lessee, at its
expense, shall be responsible for proper registration and licensing of the BTF Trucks and titling
of the BTF Trucks in the name of the Lessor (with the Lien of the Trustee, in its name or in the
name of a Nominee Lienholder, on behalf of the Trustee, noted thereon), and, where required, shall
have such BTF Trucks inspected by any appropriate governmental authority; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, possession of all Certificates of Title shall
at all times remain with the Administrator, or an Affiliate of the Administrator identified to the
Trustee in writing, which will hold such Certificates of Title in its capacity as agent for the
Lessor and on behalf of the Trustee. The Lessee shall be responsible for the payment of all
registration fees, title fees, license fees, traffic summonses, penalties,
10
judgments and fines
incurred with respect to any BTF Truck during the Vehicle Term for such BTF Truck or imposed during
the Vehicle Term for such BTF Truck by any Governmental Authority or any court of law or equity
with respect to such BTF Trucks in connection with the Lessees operation of such BTF Trucks. The
Lessor agrees to execute a power of attorney in substantially the form of Attachment C
hereto (each, a Power of Attorney), and such other documents as may be necessary in order
to allow the Lessee to title, register and dispose of the BTF Trucks leased hereunder in accordance
with the terms hereof; provided, however, that possession of all Certificates of
Title shall at all times remain with the Administrator or its Affiliate identified to the Trustee
in writing which will hold such Certificates of Title in its capacity as agent for the Lessor and
on behalf of the Trustee, and the Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it has no right, title or
interest in or with respect to any Certificate of Title. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Lessor may terminate such Power of Attorney as provided in Section 18.3(iii)
hereof.
11. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. The Lessee shall pay for all maintenance and repairs to keep BTF Trucks in good working
order and condition, and the Lessee will maintain the BTF Trucks as required in order to keep the
manufacturers warranty in force. The Lessee will return BTF Trucks to a facility authorized by
the manufacturer of such BTF Truck or the Lessees warranty station authorized by the manufacturer
of such BTF Truck for warranty work. The Lessee will comply with any manufacturers recall of any
BTF Truck. The Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all usual and routine expenses incurred in
the use and operation of BTF Trucks including, but not limited to, fuel, lubricants, and coolants.
The Lessee agrees that it shall not make any material alterations to any BTF Trucks without the
prior consent of the Lessor. Any improvements or additions to any BTF Trucks shall become and
remain the property of the Lessor, except that any addition to BTF Trucks made by the Lessee shall
remain the property of the Lessee if such addition can be disconnected from such BTF Trucks without
impairing the functioning of such BTF Trucks or its resale value, excluding such addition.
12. BTF TRUCK WARRANTIES.
12.1. No Lessor Warranties. THE LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT THE
MANUFACTURER, THE AGENT OF THE MANUFACTURER, OR THE DISTRIBUTOR OF THE BTF TRUCKS LEASED BY THE
LESSEE HEREUNDER. THE LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE
FITNESS, SAFENESS, DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPACITY OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE BTF
TRUCKS NOR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE BTF TRUCKS WILL SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAW OR ANY
CONTRACT SPECIFICATION, AND AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE, THE LESSEE AGREES TO BEAR ALL
SUCH RISKS AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE. THE LESSEE SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO MAKE CLAIMS
AGAINST THE LESSOR AND ANY BTF TRUCK FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER AND, AS TO
THE LESSOR, THE LESSEE LEASES THE BTF TRUCKS AS IS. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LESSOR BE LIABLE FOR
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHATSOEVER OR HOWSOEVER CAUSED.
11
12.2. Manufacturers Warranties. If a BTF Truck is covered by an manufacturers
warranty, the Lessee, during the Vehicle Term for such BTF Truck, shall have the right to make any
claims under such warranty which the Lessor could make.
13. BTF TRUCK USAGE GUIDELINES AND RETURN; TRUCK SPECIAL DAMAGE PAYMENTS.

BTF Truck, in each case other than any such condition that would reasonably be considered to be
normal wear and tear or otherwise de minimis by a purchaser of such BTF Truck.
13.2. Truck Special Damage Payments. (a) The Lessee will use its best efforts to
maintain the BTF Trucks in a manner such that no Truck Special Damage Payments (as defined below)
shall be due upon disposition of the BTF Trucks by or for the benefit of the Lessor. Upon
disposition of each BTF Truck leased hereunder by or for the benefit of the Lessor, other than the
sale of any BTF Truck to the Lessee in accordance with the terms hereof, if such BTF Truck fails to
satisfy the Truck Turn-In Condition standard established pursuant to Section 13.l, the
Lessor will charge the Lessee for the amount that the Administrator estimates in good faith to be
the reduction in the saleable value of such BTF Truck as a result of such failure to satisfy the
Truck Turn-In Condition Standard (any such amounts are referred to as the Truck Special Damage
Payments).
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Truck Special Damage
Payments that have accrued during the Related Month. The obligation of the Lessee to pay Truck
Special Damage Payments shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the breach of its covenant
contained in the first sentence of Section 13.2(a). The provisions of this Section
13.2 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
14. DISPOSITION PROCEDURE. The Lessee shall comply with the requirements of law in

requirements of law with respect to BTF Trucks in connection with the transfer of ownership by the
Lessor of any BTF Truck, including, without limitation, the submission of any required odometer
disclosure statement at the time of any such transfer of ownership.
12
16. GENERAL INDEMNITY.
16.1. Indemnity by the Lessee and the Guarantor. The Lessee and the Guarantor agree
jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor, the Administrator and the Trustee

business of, investment in, ownership by the Lessor with respect thereto and (ii)
documentary, stamp, filing, recording, mortgage or other taxes, if any, which may be payable
by the Lessor in connection with this Agreement or any other Related Documents;
provided, however, that the following taxes are excluded from the indemnity
provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above:
(i) any tax on, based on, with respect to, or measured by net income (including
federal alternative minimum tax), other than any taxes or other charges which may be
imposed as a result of any determination by a taxing authority that the Lessor is
not the owner for tax purposes of the BTF Trucks leased hereunder or that this
Agreement is not a true lease for tax purposes or that depreciation deductions
that would be available to the owner of such BTF Trucks are disallowed, or that the
Lessor is not entitled to include the full purchase price for any such BTF Truck in
basis including any amounts payable in respect of interest charges, additions to tax

with respect to such BTF Truck or (B) the expiration or other termination of this
Agreement with respect to such BTF Truck, unless such tax accrues in respect of any
period during which the Lessee holds over such BTF Truck; and
(iv) any tax that is imposed on an Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates,
to the extent that such tax results from the willful misconduct or gross negligence
of such Indemnified Person or such Affiliates;
16.1.3. any violation by the Lessee or the Guarantor of this Agreement or of any
Related Documents to which the Lessee or the Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound or
of any laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees, consents, approvals,
exemptions, authorizations, licenses and withholdings of objecting of any governmental or
public body or authority and all other requirements having the force of law applicable at

after-tax basis for such payment as a result of the payment of any tax indemnified pursuant
to this Section 16 or in connection with the circumstances giving rise, to the
imposition of
14
such tax, such tax benefit shall be used to offset any indemnity payment owed
pursuant to this Section 16 or shall be paid to the Lessee or the Guarantor, as
applicable (but only to the extent of any prior indemnity payments actually made pursuant to
this Section 16 and only after the Lessor shall actually receive such tax benefits),
provided, however, that no
such payment to the Lessee or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall be made while any Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
16.2. Reimbursement Obligation by the Lessee and the Guarantor. The Lessee and the
Guarantor shall forthwith upon demand reimburse the Lessor or the relevant Indemnified Person for
any sum or sums expended with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that, if so requested by the Lessee or the Guarantor, the Lessor shall submit to the Lessee or the
Guarantor, as applicable, a statement documenting any such demand for reimbursement or prepayment.
To the extent that the Lessee or the Guarantor in fact indemnifies the Lessor under the indemnity
provisions of this Agreement, the Lessee or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall be subrogated to
the Lessors rights in the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine the settlement
of claims therein. The foregoing indemnity as contained in this Section 16 shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement or any lease of any BTF Truck hereunder.
16.3. Defense of Claims. The Lessor agrees to notify the Lessee of any claim made
against it for which the Lessee may be liable pursuant to this Section 16 and, if the
Lessee requests, to contest or allow the Lessee to contest such claim. If any Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no contest shall be required, and any contest which
has begun shall not be required to be continued to be pursued, unless arrangements to secure the
payment of the Lessees obligations pursuant to this Section 16 hereunder have been made
and such arrangements are reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor. The Lessor shall not settle any
such claim without the Lessees consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Defense
of any claim referred to in this Section 16 for which indemnity may be required shall, at
the option and request of the Indemnified Person, be conducted by the Lessee or the Guarantor, as
applicable. The Lessee or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will inform the Indemnified Person of
any such claim and of the defense thereof and will provide copies of material documents relating to
any such claim or defense to such Indemnified Person upon request. Such Indemnified Person may
participate in any such defense at its own expense; provided such participation does not
interfere with the Lessees or the Guarantors assertion of such claim or defense. The Lessee and
the Guarantor agree that no Indemnified Person will be liable to the Lessee or the Guarantor, as
applicable, for any claim caused directly or indirectly by the inadequacy of any BTF Truck leased
for any purpose or any deficiency or defect therein or the use or maintenance thereof or any
repairs, servicing or adjustments thereto or any delay in providing or failing to provide such
repairs, servicing or adjustments or any interruption or loss of service or use thereof or any loss
of business, all of which shall be the risk and responsibility of the Lessee or the Guarantor. The
rights and indemnities of each Indemnified Person hereunder are expressly made for the benefit of,
and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person notwithstanding the fact that such Indemnified
Person is either no longer a party to (or entitled to receive the benefits of) this Agreement, or
was not a party to (or entitled to receive the benefits of) this Agreement at its outset. Except
as otherwise set forth herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Lessee or the
Guarantor to indemnify the Lessor for any of the
15
Lessors acts or omissions which constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct. This general indemnity shall not affect any
claims of the type discussed above which the Lessee or the Guarantor may have against the
manufacturer.
17. ASSIGNMENT.
17.1. Right of the Lessor to Assign this Agreement. The Lessor shall have the right
to finance the acquisition and ownership of the BTF Trucks by selling or assigning, in whole or in
part, its right, title and interest in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in moneys due
from the Lessee, the Guarantor and any third party under this Agreement; provided,
however, that any such sale or assignment shall be subject to the rights and interest of
the Lessee in the BTF Trucks, including but not limited to the Lessees right of quiet and peaceful
possession of the BTF Trucks as set forth in Section 9 hereof, and under this Agreement.
17.2. Limitations on the Right of the Lessee to Assign this Agreement. The Lessee
agrees that it shall not, without prior written consent of the Lessor and the consent of the
Required Noteholders of each Series of Notes Outstanding, assign this Agreement or any of its
rights hereunder to any other party; provided, however, that the Lessee may rent
the BTF Trucks under the terms of its normal daily rental programs. Any purported assignment in
violation of this Section 17.2 shall be void and of no force or effect. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Lessee to acquire or dispose of, by purchase,
lease, financing, or otherwise, motor vehicles that are not subject to the provisions of this
Agreement.
18. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES THEREFOR.
18.1. Events of Default. Any one or more of the following will constitute an event of
default (a Lease Event of Default) as that term is used herein:
18.1.1. there occurs a default in the payment of any portion of Monthly Base Rent or
Supplemental Rent and the continuance thereof for a period of five Business Days;
18.1.2. any unauthorized assignment or transfer of this Agreement by the Lessee or the

covenant, condition, agreement or provision hereof, including, but not limited to, usage,
and maintenance, and such default continues for more than 30 days after the date the Lessee
or Guarantor has actual knowledge of such default or written notice thereof is delivered by
the Lessor or the Trustee to the Lessee or the Guarantor;
18.1.5. if any representation or warranty made by the Lessee or the Guarantor herein
is inaccurate or incorrect or is breached or is false or misleading in any material respect
as of the date of the making thereof or any schedule, certificate, financial state-
16
ment,
report, notice, or other writing furnished by or on behalf of the Lessee or the Guarantor to
the Lessor or the Trustee is false or misleading in any material respect on the date as of
which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified, and the circumstance or condition
in respect of which such representation, warranty or writing was inaccurate, incorrect,
breached, false or misleading in any material respect, as the case may be, shall not have
been eliminated or otherwise cured for 30 days after the earlier of (x) the date of the
receipt of written notice thereof from the Lessor or the Trustee to the Guarantor or the

condition;
18.1.6. an Event of Bankruptcy occurs with respect to the Lessee, the Guarantor, the
Administrator or BRAC;
18.1.7. any Change in Control of the Lessee, the Guarantor, or BRAC without the

18.1.8. the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or the Internal Revenue Service shall
have filed notice of one or more liens against the Lessee (unless such lien does not purport
to cover the Collateral or any amount payable under the Leases), and, in the case of notice
filed by the Internal Revenue Service, such notice shall have remained in effect for more
than 30 days unless, prior to the expiration of such period, the Lessee shall have provided
the Lessor with a bond in an amount at least equal to the amount of such lien or, in the
case of any such lien in an amount less than $1,000,000, the Lessee shall have established
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lessor that such lien is being contested in good faith
and that adequate reserves have been established in respect of the claim giving rise to such
lien.
18.2. Effect of Lease Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default. If any Lease
Event of Default described in Section 18 or any Liquidation Event of Default shall occur,
the Lessor, acting at the direction of the Trustee may terminate this Agreement and then (x) any
accrued and unpaid Monthly Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other charges and payments accrued
but unpaid under this Agreement (calculated as if the full amount of interest on the Notes was then
due and payable in full) shall, automatically, without further action by the Lessor or the Trustee,
become immediately due and payable and (y) the Lessee shall, at the request of the Lessor or the
Trustee, return or cause to be returned all BTF Trucks (and the Administrator shall deliver to the
Trustee the Certificates of Title relating thereto) to the Lessor or the Trustee.
18.3. Rights of Lessor Upon Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default
or Liquidation Event of Default. If a Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of
Default or Liquidation Event of Default shall occur, then the Lessor or the Trustee at its option
may:
(i) Proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or in equity, to
enforce performance by the Lessee or the Guarantor of the applicable covenants and terms of
this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach hereof calculated in accordance with
Section 18.5; or
17
(ii) By notice in writing to the Lessee, terminate this Agreement in its entirety
and/or the right of possession hereunder of the Lessee of the BTF Trucks, and the Lessor or
the Trustee may direct delivery by the Lessee or the Guarantor of documents of title to the
BTF Trucks, whereupon all rights and interests of the Lessee or the Guarantor to the BTF
Trucks will cease and terminate and the Guarantor will remain liable hereunder as herein
provided, provided, however, that their liability will be calculated in
accordance with Section 18.5); and thereupon, the Lessor or the Trustee or its
agents may peaceably enter upon the premises of the Lessee or other premises where the BTF
Trucks may be located and take possession of them and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy
the same free from any right of the Lessee or the Guarantor, or their successors or assigns,
to use the BTF Trucks for any purpose whatsoever, and the Lessor will, nevertheless, have a
right to recover from the Lessee or the Guarantor any and all amounts which under the terms
of this Section 18.3 (as limited by Section 18.5 of this Agreement) as may
be then due. The Lessor will provide the Lessee with written notice of the place and time
of any sale of BTF Trucks at least five days prior to the proposed sale, which shall be
deemed commercially reasonable, and the Lessee may purchase such BTF Truck(s) at the sale.
Each and every power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Lessor and the Trustee will
be in addition to every other power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Lessor or
the Trustee or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or in bankruptcy and each and
every power and remedy may be exercised from time to time and simultaneously and as often
and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor or the Trustee; provided,
however, that the measure of damages recoverable against the Lessee and the
Guarantor will in any case be calculated in accordance with Section 18.5. All such
powers and remedies will be cumulative, and the exercise of one will not be deemed a waiver
of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Lessor in the
exercise of any such power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any payments due
hereunder will impair any such power or remedy or will be construed to be a waiver of any
default or any acquiescence therein. Any extension of time for payment hereunder or other
indulgence duly granted to the Lessee or the Guarantor will not otherwise alter or affect
the Lessors rights or the obligations hereunder of the Lessee and the Guarantor. The
Lessors acceptance of any payment after it will have become due hereunder will not be
deemed to alter or affect the Lessors or the Trustees rights hereunder with respect to any
subsequent payments or defaults therein; or
(iii) By notice in writing to the Lessee, terminate the Power of Attorney.
18.4. Rights of Trustee Upon Liquidation Event of Default, Limited Liquidation
Event of Default and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants.
(i) If a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Lessor and the Trustee, to the extent
provided in the Indenture, shall have the rights against the Guarantor, the Lessee, and
the Collateral provided in the Indenture, including the right to take possession of all or a
portion of the BTF Trucks immediately from the Lessee.
18
(ii) Upon a default in the performance (after giving effect to any applicable grace
periods provided herein) by the Guarantor or the Lessee of its obligations hereunder to keep
the BTF Trucks free of Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and to maintain the Trustees
first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, the Lessor or the Trustee
shall have the right to take actions reasonably necessary to correct such default with
respect to the subject BTF Trucks including the execution of UCC financing statements with
respect to general intangibles and the completion of Vehicle Perfection and Documentation
Requirements on behalf of the Guarantor or the Lessee as applicable.
(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation
Event of Default, the Lessee shall dispose of the BTF Trucks in accordance with the
instructions of the Trustee. To the extent the Lessee fails to so dispose of any BTF
Trucks, the Trustee shall have the right to otherwise dispose of such BTF Trucks. In
addition, following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited
Liquidation Event of Default, the Trustee shall have all of the rights, remedies, powers,
privileges and claims vis-à-vis the Guarantor or the Lessee, necessary or desirable to allow
the Trustee to exercise the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims set forth in
Sections 3.3 and 9.2 of the Base Indenture and each of the Guarantor and the
Lessee acknowledges that it has hereby granted to the Lessor all of the rights, remedies,
powers, privileges and claims granted by the Lessor to the Trustee pursuant to Article
3 of the Base Indenture and that the Trustee may act in lieu of the Lessor in the
exercise of such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims.
18.5. Measure of Damages. If a Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of
Default or a Liquidation Event of Default occurs and the Lessor or the Trustee exercises the
remedies granted to the Lessor or the Trustee under this Article 18, the amount that the
Lessor shall be permitted to recover shall be equal to:
(i) all Monthly Base Rent, all Supplemental Rent and all other amounts due and payable
under this Agreement (calculated as provided in Section 18.2); plus
(ii) any damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses (but
excluding net after-tax losses of federal and state income tax benefits to which the Lessor
would otherwise be entitled as a result of this Agreement), which the Lessor or the Trustee
will have sustained by reason of the Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of
Default or Liquidation Event of Default, together with reasonable sums for such attorneys
fees and such expenses as will be expended or incurred in the seizure, storage, rental or
sale of the BTF Trucks or in the enforcement of any right or privilege hereunder or in any
consultation or action in such connection; plus
(iii) interest on amounts due and unpaid under this Agreement at the applicable
Carrying Cost Interest Rate plus 1.0% from time to time computed from the date of the Lease
Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default or
the date payments were originally due to the Lessor under this Agreement or from the date of
each expenditure by the Lessor which is recoverable from the Lessee
19
pursuant to this
Section 18, as applicable, to and including the date payments are made by the
Lessee.
18.6. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale or other disposition
pursuant to Section 18.2 or 18.3 shall be applied in the following order: (i) to the reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection with such sale or disposition, including
any reasonable costs associated with repairing any BTF Trucks, and reasonable attorneys fees in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) to the payment of outstanding Monthly Base
Rent and Supplement Rent, (iii) to the payment of all other amounts due hereunder, and (iv) any
remaining amounts to the Lessor, or such Person(s) as may be lawfully entitled thereto.
18.7. Special Default. If on any Business Day, the Lessee or the Guarantor obtains
actual knowledge that a BTF Truck included in the Borrowing Base is not titled in the name of BTF
with the Trustee or a Nominee Titleholder noted as the first lienholder on the Certificate of Title
for such BTF Truck (or, if such Business Day is on or before June 25, 2005, the Lessee or Guarantor
obtains actual knowledge that the Titling Procedures (with respect to any BTF Truck for which an
Oklahoma Certificate of Title has not been issued) have not been properly satisfied with respect to
any BTF Truck included in the Borrowing Base), then the Lessee shall within three (3) Business Days
make an application (or correct its application, as the case may be) with the Oklahoma Tax
Commission (the OTC) or any Oklahoma motor vehicle license agent (License
Agent) to properly title such BTF Truck in the name of BTF with a lien in favor of the
Trustee (or a Nominee Titleholder, as the case may be). If the Lessee fails to perform under the
preceding sentence by the close of business on the third Business Day after obtaining such
knowledge, then the Lessee shall promptly, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days
thereafter, sell or purchase any improperly titled BTF Vehicles (or any such BTF Truck which
respect to which the Titling Procedures have not been properly satisfied). If the proceeds of the
sale of any such BTF Vehicle are less than the applicable Vehicle Purchase Price for such
improperly titled BTF Truck, then the Lessee shall pay to BTF an amount equal to such deficiency;
provided that if the Lessee purchases any such BTF Truck, it shall pay to the Lessor the
applicable Vehicle Purchase Price therefor.
19. CERTIFICATION OF TRADE OR BUSINESS USE. The Lessee hereby warrants and certifies,
under penalties of perjury, that (i) it intends to use the BTF Trucks which are subject to this
Agreement in its trade or business and (ii) it has been advised that it will not be treated as the
owner of such BTF Trucks for federal tax income purposes.
20. SURVIVAL. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, the Lessee or the Guarantor becomes
liable for the payment or reimbursement of any obligations, claims or taxes pursuant to any
provision hereof, such liability will continue, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of
this Agreement, until all such amounts are paid or reimbursed by the Lessee or the Guarantor.
21. TITLE. This is an agreement to lease only and title to BTF Trucks will at all
times remain in the Lessors name or in the name of a Nominee. Neither the Lessee nor the
Guarantor will have any rights or interest in BTF Trucks whatsoever other than the right of
possession and use as provided by this Agreement.
20
22. GUARANTY.
22.1. Guaranty. In order to induce the Lessor to execute and deliver this Agreement
and to lease BTF Trucks to the Lessee, and in consideration thereof, the Guarantor hereby (i)
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lessor the obligations of the Lessee to make any
payments required to be made by them under this Agreement, (ii) agrees to cause the Lessee to duly
and punctually perform and observe all of the terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and
indemnities of the Lessee under this Agreement and (iii) agrees that, if for any reason whatsoever,
the Lessee fails to so perform and observe such terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and
indemnities, the Guarantor will duly and punctually perform and observe the same (the obligations
referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above are collectively referred to as the
Guaranteed Obligations). The liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor under the
guaranty contained in this Section 22 (this Guaranty) will be absolute and
unconditional under all circumstances. This Guaranty shall be a guaranty of payment and
performance and not merely of collection, and the Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall not be
required that the Lessor or the Trustee assert or enforce any rights against the Lessee or any
other person before or as a condition to the obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty.
22.2. Scope of Guarantors Liability. The Guarantors obligations hereunder are
independent of the obligations of the Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, and the
Lessor may enforce any of its rights hereunder independently of any other right or remedy that the
Lessor may at any time hold with respect to this Agreement or any security or other guaranty
therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lessor may bring a separate action
against the Guarantor without first proceeding against the Lessee, any other guarantor or any other
Person, or any security held by the Lessor, and regardless of whether the Lessee or any other
guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action. The Guarantors liability hereunder
shall at all times remain effective with respect to the full amount due from the Lessee hereunder,
notwithstanding any limitations on the liability of the Lessee to the Lessor contained in any of
the Related Documents or elsewhere. The Lessors rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by any
action taken by the Lessor until all
Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid and performed. The liability of the Guarantor
hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of the Lessor shall continue, with
respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall
thereafter be required to be restored or returned by the Lessor upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though
such amount had not been paid.
22.3. Lessors Right to Amend this Agreement, Etc. The Guarantor hereby authorizes
the Lessor, at any time and from time to time without notice and without affecting the liability of
the Guarantor hereunder, to: (a) alter the terms of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations
and any security and guaranties therefor including without limitation modification of times for
payment and rates of interest; (b) accept new or additional instruments, documents, agreements,
security or guaranties in connection with all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) accept
partial payments on the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) waive, release, reconvey, terminate, abandon,
subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer, compound, compromise, liquidate and enforce all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security or guaranties therefor, and apply any such
security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof
21
(and bid and purchase at any such sale), as
the Lessor in its discretion may determine; (e) release the Lessee, any other guarantor or any
other Person from any personal liability with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; and (f) assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part.
22.4. Waiver of Certain Rights by Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives each of the
following to the fullest extent allowed by law:
(a) all statutes of limitation as a defense to any action brought by the Lessor against
the Guarantor;
(b) any defense based upon:
(i) the unenforceability or invalidity of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any security or other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations or the
lack of perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed
Obligations;
(ii) any act or omission of the Lessor or any other Person that directly or
indirectly results in the discharge or release of the Lessee or any other Person or
any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; or
(iii) any disability or any other defense of the Lessee or any other Person
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether consensual or arising by
operation of law or any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor-relief proceeding, or from
any other cause;
(c) any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require the Lessor, as a condition
to the enforcement of this Guaranty, to:
(i) accelerate the Guaranteed Obligations;
(ii) give notice to the Guarantor of the terms, time and place of any public or
private sale of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(iii) proceed against the Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, or
proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) all rights of subrogation, all rights to enforce any remedy that the Lessor now or
hereafter has against the Lessee or any other Person, and any benefit of, and right to
participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Lessor with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations;
(e) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, including without limitation
notices of default and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty;
22
(f) all suretyship defenses and rights of every nature otherwise available under New
York law and the laws of any other jurisdiction; and
(g) all other rights and defenses the assertion or exercise of which would in any way
diminish the liability of the Guarantor hereunder.
22.5. Guarantor to Pay Lessors Expenses. The Guarantor agrees to pay to the Lessor,
on demand, all costs and expenses, including attorneys and other professional and paraprofessional
fees, incurred by the Lessor in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Guaranty,
or in the enforcement of this Guaranty, whether or not any action is filed in connection therewith.
Until paid to the Lessor, such amounts shall bear interest, commencing with the Lessors demand
therefor, at the Carrying Cost Interest Rate plus 2.0%.
22.6. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the amounts payable by the Lessee under this
Agreement is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lessor, upon an event of
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Lessee or the Guarantor or upon or as
a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, the Lessee or the Guarantor or any substantial part of their respective property, or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
22.7. Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Guarantor (i) represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the obligations of
the Guarantor under this Guaranty will rank pari passu with any existing unsecured
indebtedness of the Guarantor and (ii) covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof the
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty will rank pari passu with any
unsecured indebtedness of the Guarantor incurred after the date hereof.
23. RIGHTS OF LESSOR ASSIGNED. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, each of the Lessee and the Guarantor acknowledges that the Lessor has assigned all
of its rights under this Agreement to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Accordingly, each of
the Lessee and the Guarantor agrees that:
(i) Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers, privileges and remedies of the Lessor hereunder and the obligations of the Guarantor
and of the Lessee hereunder (including with respect to the payment of Monthly Base Rent,
Supplemental Rent and all other amounts payable hereunder) shall not be subject to any claim
or defense which the Guarantor or the Lessee may have against the Lessor or, in the case of
the Guarantor, the Lessee (other than the defense of payment actually made) and shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any abatement, setoff, counterclaim,
deduction or reduction for any reason whatsoever. Specifically, each of the Lessee and the
Guarantor agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, a Limited
Liquidation Event of Default or a Liquidation Event of Default, the Trustee may exercise
(for and on behalf of the Lessor) any right or remedy against the Lessee or the Guarantor
provided for herein and neither the Lessee nor the Guarantor will interpose as a defense
that such claim should have been asserted by the Lessor;
23
(ii) Upon the delivery by the Trustee of any notice to the Lessee or the Guarantor
stating that a Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a
Liquidation Event of Default has occurred, the Lessee or the Guarantor, as the case may be,
will, if so requested by the Trustee, treat the Trustee or the Trustees designee for all
purposes as the Lessor hereunder and in all respects comply with all obligations under this
Agreement that are asserted by the Trustee as the successor to the Lessor hereunder,
irrespective of whether the Lessee or the Guarantor has received any such notice from the
Lessor; provided, however, that the Trustee shall in no event be liable to
the Lessee for any action taken by it in its capacity as successor to the Lessor other than
actions that constitute negligence or willful misconduct;
(iii) Each of the Lessee and the Guarantor acknowledges that pursuant to the Indenture
the Lessor has irrevocably authorized and directed the Lessee or the Guarantor to, and the
Lessee and the Guarantor shall, make payments of Monthly Base Rent and Supplemental Rent
hereunder (and any other payments hereunder) directly to the Trustee for deposit in the
Collection Account established by the Trustee for receipt of such payments pursuant to the
Indenture and such payments shall discharge the obligation of the Lessee and the Guarantor
to the Lessor hereunder to the extent of such payments.
Upon written notice to the Lessee or the Guarantor of a sale or assignment by the
Trustee of its right, title and interest in moneys due under this Agreement to a successor
Trustee, the Lessee or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall thereafter make payments of
all Monthly Base Rent and Supplemental Rent (and any other payments hereunder) to the party
specified in such notice;
(iv) Upon request made by the Trustee at any time, each of the Lessee and the Guarantor
shall take such actions as are requested by the Trustee to assist the Trustee in maintaining
the Trustees first priority perfected security interest in this Agreement, the BTF Trucks,
the Certificates of Title with respect thereto and any other Collateral; and
(v) In the event that the Indenture terminates and all obligations owing under the
Indenture have been paid in full, the Lessor shall have all rights under this Agreement
previously assigned to the Trustee.
24. MODIFICATION AND SEVERABILITY. The terms of this Agreement will not be waived,
altered, modified, amended, supplemented or terminated in any manner whatsoever unless the same
shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Lessor, the Guarantor and the Lessee and
consented to in writing by the Trustee and by the Required Noteholders of each Series of Notes
Outstanding. If any part of this Agreement is not valid or enforceable according to law, all other
parts will remain enforceable.

Guarantor); (ii) be, and ensure that the Lessee is, duly qualified to do business and in good
standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business makes such
qualification necessary and the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect; and

Subsidiaries, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
26.2. Books, Records and Inspections. (i) Maintain complete and accurate books and
records with respect to the BTF Trucks leased under this Agreement and (ii) permit any Person

fullest extent permitted by law, (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process
upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall be taken and held to be valid

(b) Administrator to Act as Custodian of Certificates of Title. (i) To assure
uniform quality in servicing of the Collateral and to reduce administrative costs, the
3
Administrator hereby accepts the duty to act as the agent of the Trustee as custodian of the
Certificates of Title. The Trustee may revoke such agency at any time, and upon such revocation
the Administrator shall promptly deliver all Certificates of Title to the Trustee.
(ii) Following the Initial Closing Date, the Administrator shall deliver to the Trustee, the
Administrative Agent under and as defined in each applicable Series Supplement (each, an
Administrative Agent) and each Enhancement Provider, if any, a copy of its written
procedures and standards for handling and monitoring vehicle titles, including procedures upon the
acquisition and disposition of vehicles. The Administrator shall comply with such procedures and
standards in performing its duties hereunder as custodian of the Certificates of Title. The
Administrator, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the Certificates of Title on behalf of the
Trustee for the use and benefit of all present and future Secured Parties with an interest therein,
and maintain such accurate and complete records (either original execution documents or copies of
such originally executed documents shall be sufficient for such purposes), and computer systems
pertaining to each Certificate of Title as shall enable the Trustee to comply with this Agreement
and the other Related Documents. The Administrator shall promptly report to the Trustee any
material failure on its part to hold the Certificates of Title and maintain its records, and
computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such
failure. The Administrator hereby consents to the inspection of the Certificates of Title from
time to time by the Trustee or any authorized representative of the Trustee and to the provisions
relating to the Administrator set forth in Section 7 of the BTF Lease. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Trustee of the Certificates of
Title. The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts of the Administrator.
(iii) The Administrator shall notify the Trustee and each Enhancement Provider, if any, of the
initial location of the Certificates of Title and the related records and computer systems
maintained by the Administrator and shall notify the Trustee and each Enhancement Provider, if any,
prior to any change in location of the Certificates of Title and such related records and computer
systems.
(iv) Upon instruction from the Trustee, the Administrator shall release any Certificate of
Title to the Trustee, at such place or places as the Trustee may reasonably designate as soon as
reasonably practicable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an
Amortization Event, a Liquidation Event of Default, or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default and
at the request of the Trustee, the Administrator shall promptly deliver all Certificates of Title
to the Trustee. In connection with any such instruction of the Trustee, the Administrator may, in
lieu of delivering any original Certificates of Title, deliver copies thereof stored on microfiche,
computer disk or on such other image storage or electronic media as the Administrator shall
maintain in accordance with its customary practices and which is in a format acceptable to the
Trustee; provided, however, that the Administrator shall deliver to the Trustee the
original Certificates of Title if the Trustee so instructs the Administrator. The Administrator
shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Trustee, its agent or its
designee to return any Certificate of Title or any delay in doing so. All instructions from the
Trustee shall be in writing and signed by a Trust Officer, and the Administrator shall be deemed to
have received proper instructions with respect to the Certificates of Title upon its receipt of
such written instruction. A certified copy of a by-law or of a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the
4
Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Trust Officer to act
and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Administrator of written
notice to the contrary given by the Trustee.
(i) The Trustee hereby grants to the Administrator a power of attorney, with full power of
substitution to take any and all actions, solely for the following limited purposes, in the name of
the Trustee, (x) to note the Trustee as the holder of a first Lien on the Certificates of Title
and/or otherwise ensure that the first Lien shown on any and all Certificates of Title is in the
name of the Trustee and (y) to release the Lien in the name of the Trustee or the Nominee
Lienholder on any Certificate of Title in connection with the sale or disposition of the related
BTF Truck permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Related Documents. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed as authorization from the Trustee to the Administrator to release any Lien on
the Certificates of Title except upon compliance with the Related Documents. The Trustee shall
have the right to terminate such power of attorney (including the related power granted pursuant to
the following sentence) at any time by giving written notice to such effect to the Administrator.
To further evidence such power of attorney, the Trustee agrees that upon request of the
Administrator from time to time it will execute a separate power of attorney substantially in the
form of Exhibit A hereto.
(c) Certain Duties with Respect to the BTF Lease. The Administrator agrees to perform
its duties under the BTF Lease, including, but not limited to the following:
(A) to promptly and duly execute, deliver, file and record all documents, statements,
filings and registrations, and take such further actions as may be requested to establish,
perfect and maintain the related Lessors title to and interest in, and the Trustees
perfected first Lien in the name of the Trustee or the Nominee Lienholder on, the BTF Trucks
and the Certificates of Title therefor pursuant to Section 7 of the BTF Lease,;
(B) to determine the Truck Special Damage Payments applicable to BTF Trucks at the time
of their sale, return or other disposition in accordance with the Related Documents pursuant
to Section 13.2 of the BTF Lease;

each BTF Truck leased under such Lease pursuant to Section 26.8 of the BTF Lease;

request the Trustee to cause the Nominee Lienholder to remove notation of its Lien from the
Certificate of Title therefor pursuant to Section 2.6(a) of the BTF Lease;
(E) upon payment by the Lessee to the Lessor of the Termination Value of any BTF Truck
that has become a Casualty or an Ineligible Truck, to (i) cause title to such BTF Truck to
be transferred to the Lessee to facilitate liquidation of such BTF Truck by the Lessee and
(ii) request the Trustee to cause the Nominee Lienholder to remove notation of its Lien from
the Certificate of Title for such BTF Truck pursuant to Section 6.2 of the BTF Lease;
5
(F) to make requests for, and to provide a statement documenting any request for,
reimbursement or prepayment for costs identified therein pursuant to Section 16.2 of the BTF
Lease;
(G) to notify the Lessee of any claim made against it for which the Lessee or the
Lessor may be liable and, upon request by the Lessee, to contest or allow the Lessee to
contest such claim pursuant to Section 16.3 of the BTF Lease; and
(H) upon a Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation
Event of Default, to pursue and enforce the rights of BTF thereunder pursuant to Section
18.3 of the BTF Lease.
3. Additional Duties; Additional Information. Subject to Section 9 of this
Agreement, and in accordance with the directions of any party hereto, the Administrator shall
administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the
Collateral and the Related Documents as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and as
are expressly requested by such party and are reasonably within the capability of the
Administrator. The Administrator shall furnish to any party hereto from time to time such
additional information regarding the Collateral as such party shall reasonably request.
4. Records. The Administrator shall maintain appropriate books of account and
records relating to services performed hereunder, which books of account and records shall be
accessible for inspection by any party hereto at any time during normal business hours.
5. Compensation. As compensation for the performance of the Administrators
obligations under this Agreement and, as reimbursement for its expenses related thereto, the
Administrator shall be entitled to a fee in the amount of one-twelfth of the product of 0.50% and
the Net Book Value of all BTF Trucks as of the first day of the applicable Related Month (the
Monthly Administration Fee); provided, however, that if an Amortization
Event with respect to any Series of Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the Monthly
Administration Fee will equal the greater of (A) the amount of the Monthly Administration Fee
calculated pursuant to the preceding clause, and (B) the product of (x) $20.00 and (y) the number
of BTF Trucks as of the first day of the applicable Related Month. The Monthly Administration Fee
shall be payable by BTF on each Distribution Date. In addition, the Administrator shall also be
entitled to the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrator incurred by it as a result of
arranging for the sale of any BTF Truck returned by the Lessee thereof to the applicable Lessor
and sold to third parties; provided, however, that such costs and expenses shall
be payable to the Administrator by such Lessor only to the extent of any excess of the sale price
received by such Lessor for any such BTF Truck over the Termination Value thereof.
6. Use of Subcontractors. The Administrator may contract with other Persons to
assist it in performing its duties under this Agreement, and any performance of such duties by a
Person identified to the Trustee in an Officers Certificate of the Administrator shall be deemed
to be action taken by the Administrator. Any such contract shall not relieve the Administrator of
its liability and responsibility with respect to the duties to which such contract relates.
6
7. Transactions with Affiliates. In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its
other obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into transactions or otherwise
deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such
transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any directions received from BTF and the
Trustee and shall be, in the Administrators opinion, no less favorable to the parties hereto than
would be available from unaffiliated parties.
8. Indemnification. The Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless BTF, the
Trustee, the Noteholders and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees
(collectively, the Indemnified Parties) from and against any loss, liability, expense,
damage or injury (a Loss) suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or
alleged acts or omissions arising out of the activities of the Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Related Documents, including but not limited to any judgment, award,
settlement, reasonable attorneys fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the
defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided,
however, that the Administrator shall not indemnify any Indemnified Party if such acts,
omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct by
such Indemnified Party. The indemnity provided herein shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the removal of the Administrator. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, the Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties
from and against any Losses arising out of or relating to:
(i) any failure by the Administrator to perform its duties, covenants and obligations
in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement or any other Related Document to
which it is a party;
(ii) the failure by the Administrator to comply with any applicable law, rule or
regulation with respect to its activities as Administrator hereunder; or
(iii) any representation or warranty made by the Administrator under or in connection
with any Related Document or any report, certificate, information or other material provided
by the Administrator to the Trustee or the Noteholders (including, without limitation, any
Daily Report, Monthly Certificate or Monthly Noteholders Statement) (collectively, the
Administrator Information), which shall have been false, incorrect or misleading
in any material respect when made or deemed made.
9. Independence of the Administrator. Unless otherwise provided in the Related
Documents, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the
supervision of BTF or the Trustee with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the
performance of its obligations hereunder. Other than pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, unless
expressly authorized by the Trustee, the Administrator shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Trustee in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trustee.
10. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute the
Administrator and any of BTF and the Trustee (or any other Person) as members of any partnership,
joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate
7
entity, (ii) be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (iii) be deemed
to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or
liability on behalf of the others.
11. Other Activities of Administrator. (a) Nothing herein shall prevent the
Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from
acting in a similar capacity as an administrator for any other person or entity even though such
person or entity may engage in business activities similar to those of the parties hereto.
12. Term of Agreement; No Resignation; Removal. (a) This Agreement shall continue in
force until the termination of the Indenture, the BTF Lease, and the Collection Account Control
Agreement in accordance with their respective terms and the payment in full of all obligations
owing thereunder, upon which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate. In the event that
the Indenture terminates and all obligations owing thereunder have been paid in full, BTF shall
have all rights of the Trustee under this Agreement.
(b) The Administrator shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed hereunder.
(c) Subject to Sections 12(d) and 12(e) of this Agreement, the Trustee may, and at the written
direction of the Requisite Investors shall, remove the Administrator upon written notice of
termination from the Trustee to the Administrator if any of the following events (each, an
Administrator Default) shall occur:
(i) the Administrator shall default in the performance of any of its duties under this
Agreement or any Related Document and, after notice of such default, shall not cure such
default within ten (10) days of the earlier of receiving notice of or learning of such
default (or, if such default cannot be cured in such time, shall not give within ten (10)
days such assurance of cure as shall be reasonably satisfactory to BTF and the Trustee);
(ii) an Event of Bankruptcy occurs with respect to the Administrator;
(iii) any representation or warranty made by the Administrator under or in connection
with any Related Document or any Administrator Information shall have been false, incorrect
or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made, and such representation or
warranty shall continue to be incorrect ten (10) days after the earlier of the
Administrators receiving notice or learning of such default; or
(iv) the Administrator shall fail to comply with any applicable law, rule or
regulation, which failure would have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Administrator agrees that if any Administrator Default shall occur, it shall give written
notice thereof to each other party hereto promptly after the happening of such event, but in no
event longer than seven (7) days thereafter.
(d) No removal of the Administrator pursuant to this Section 12 shall be effective until (i) a
successor Administrator acceptable to each Administrative Agent and each
8
Enhancement Provider, if any, shall have been appointed by BTF and the Trustee and (ii) such
successor Administrator shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in
the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. BTF shall provide written notice of any
such removal to the Trustee and each Enhancement Provider, if any.
(e) The appointment of any successor Administrator shall be effective only upon the consent of
the Required Noteholders of each Series of Notes Outstanding.
13. Action upon Termination or Removal. Promptly upon the effective date of
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13(a) or the removal of the Administrator
pursuant to Section 13(c), the Administrator shall be entitled to be paid all fees and
reimbursable expenses accruing to it to the date of such termination or removal. The
Administrator shall forthwith upon such termination pursuant to Section 13(a) deliver to BTF all
property and documents of or relating to the Collateral then in the custody of the Administrator.
In the event of the removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 13(c), the Administrator
shall cooperate with BTF and the Trustee and take all reasonable steps requested to assist BTF and
the Trustee in making an orderly transfer of the duties of the Administrator, including, without
limitation, delivering to a successor Administrator all property and documents of or relating to
the Collateral then in the custody of the retiring Administrator.
