THIS SOLICITATION OF ACCEPTANCES OF THE PLAN OF
REORGANIZATION IS BEING CONDUCTED TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT
ACCEPTANCES OF THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION PRIOR TO THE FILING OF
A VOLUNTARY CASE UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.
BECAUSE NO CHAPTER 11 CASE HAS YET BEEN COMMENCED, NEITHER
THIS SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 NOR THE OFFERING MEMORANDUM AND
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY ANY COURT AS
CONTAINING ADEQUATE INFORMATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF
SECTION 1125(A) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. WE HAVE NOT AT THIS
TIME TAKEN ANY ACTION APPROVING A BANKRUPTCY FILING AND, IF THE
OFFERS ARE CONSUMMATED, NEITHER CIT GROUP INC. NOR DELAWARE
FUNDING WILL COMMENCE A BANKRUPTCY FILING TO CONSUMMATE THE PLAN
OF REORGANIZATION ANNEXED HERETO.
Subject to applicable securities laws and the terms set forth
in this Supplement No. 1 and the Offering Memorandum and
Disclosure Statement, we reserve the right to waive, to the
extent waivable, any and all conditions to the Offers, to extend
or terminate the Offers and voting deadlines with respect to the
Plan of Reorganization in our sole and absolute discretion,
which may be for any or no reason, and otherwise to amend the
Offers or Plan of Reorganization in any respect.
Prior to tendering the Old Notes or voting on the Plan of
Reorganization, holders of Old Notes are encouraged to read and
consider carefully this Supplement No. 1, including the
Plan of Reorganization annexed hereto as Appendix B and the
entire Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement and the
matters described in this Supplement No. 1, the Offering
Memorandum and Disclosure Statement, the Letter of Transmittal
and/or the
Ballot.
In making a decision in connection with the Offers or the
Plan of Reorganization, holders of Old Notes must rely on their
own examination of the Company and the terms of the Offers, the
restructuring transactions, and the Plan of Reorganization,
including the merits and risks involved. Holders of Old Notes
should not construe the contents of this Supplement No. 1
or the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement as providing
any legal, business, financial or tax advice. Each holder of Old
Notes should consult with its own legal, business, financial and
tax advisors with respect to any such matters concerning this
Supplement No. 1, the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure
Statement, the Offers, the Plan of Reorganization and the
restructuring transactions contemplated thereby.
The Offers are exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act) with respect to the exchange of the Old Notes and the
New Preferred Stock by virtue of the exemption from such
registration contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act. The Offers and the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan
of Reorganization are exempt from state securities law
requirements by virtue of Section 18(b)(4)(C) of the
Securities Act.
October 23, 2009
Changes
to the Terms of the New Notes
New
Notes to be Denominated in U.S. Dollars
All New Notes issued pursuant to the Offers or in connection
with the Plan of Reorganization will be denominated in
U.S. dollars. For purposes of determining the principal
amount of New Notes to be received for the
non-U.S. dollar-denominated
Old Notes in the Offers or the Plan of Reorganization, an
equivalent U.S. dollar principal amount of each series of
Old Notes included will be determined by multiplying the
principal amount of such Old Notes by the weekly average of the
applicable currency exchange rate in the most recent Federal
Reserve Statistical Release H.10 which has become available
prior to October 29, 2009. Such equivalent U.S. dollar
principal amount will be used in all cases when determining the
consideration to be received pursuant to the Offers or the Plan
of Reorganization per $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes
tendered.
Ratings
of the New Notes
The New Notes are expected to be rated by one or more nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations.

Changes
to the Terms of the Delaware Funding Offers
Increase
in Interest Rate on Series B Notes
The interest rate payable on the Series B Notes has been
increased from 9.0% per annum to 10.25% per annum.
Extension
of Expiration Date and New Tender Date
We are extending the expiration date of the Delaware Funding
Offers and the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan of
Reorganization by holders of the Delaware Funding Old Notes from
October 29, 2009 to November 5, 2009 (such date and
time, as the same may be extended, the Delaware Funding
Offers Expiration Date). Holders may tender Delaware
Funding Old Notes by 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on or
prior to October 29, 2009, unless extended by us (such date
and time, as the same may be extended, the Delaware
Funding Early Tender Date). No additional consideration
will be provided to holders of Delaware Funding Old Notes who
tender by the Delaware Funding Early Tender Date. Delaware
Funding Old Notes tendered on or prior to the Delaware Funding
Early Tender Date may not be withdrawn after the Delaware
Funding Early Tender Date and will be accepted on the Settlement
Date. The Settlement Date of the Delaware Funding Offers will be
as soon as practicable following the Delaware Funding Offers
Expiration Date. Holders of publicly traded notes should refer
to the Ballot attached to this Supplement No. 1 as
Appendix C for instructions on how to tender
and/or vote
on the Plan of Reorganization.
Additional
Information with Respect to the Collateral Securing the New
Notes
Certain filings with respect to security interests in favor of
the Series A Collateral Agent and the Series B
Collateral Agent will not be in place by the Settlement Date
and, as a result, such security interests may not be perfected
on the Settlement Date. With respect to the Aircraft Collateral,
FAA filings, Cape Town Filings, foreign filings, UCC filings and
mortgages will not be in place by the Settlement Date and, as a
result, security interests in the Aircraft Collateral may not be
perfected on the Settlement Date. With respect to the Rail
Collateral, memoranda of security agreement will not be filed
with the Surface Transportation Board of the United States
Department of Transportation by the Settlement Date and, as a
result, security interests in the Rail Collateral may not be
perfected on the Settlement Date. To the extent any security
interest in any collateral existing on the Settlement Date
cannot be perfected on or prior to the Settlement Date, we will
be required to have such security interests perfected, to the
extent required by the New Notes Indentures, promptly following
the Settlement Date, but in any event no later than 90 days
after such date. In addition, to the extent that assets are
acquired subsequent to the Settlement Date, additional filings
and documentation as well as other actions may be required
subsequent to the acquisition of such assets. If additional
assets are acquired, appropriate actions to the extent required
by the New Notes Indentures are required to be taken to
3
perfect the security interest of the Series A Collateral
Agent and Series B Collateral Agent within 90 days of
the acquisition of such assets. To the extent a security
interest in collateral is perfected more than 30 days after
the Settlement Date (or in the case of after-acquired property,
30 days after the acquisition of the asset), and there is a
bankruptcy filing with respect to the pledgor within
90 days of the Settlement Date (or in the case of after
acquired property, the acquisition date), that security interest
may be at risk of being voided as a preferential transfer by a
trustee in bankruptcy. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to perfect any such security interests on or prior to the
required dates, and our failure to do so will result in a
default under the New Notes Indenture.
Old Notes
Survivors Option
Certain Old Notes issued by CIT Group Inc. contain a
survivors option pursuant to which, following
the death of the beneficial owner of the note and if certain
other conditions are met, CIT Group Inc. will, at its option,
repay the note in whole or in part at a price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owners
interest in that note plus unpaid interest accrued to the date
of payment. Holders of Old Notes that have exercised such
survivors option but whose survivors
option has not yet been paid may vote on the Offers and the Plan
of Reorganization. Old Notes for which a survivors option
has been exercised, but have not yet been paid, will be treated
as follows: (i) if tendered in the Offers and the Offers
are consummated, then such Old Notes will be exchanged for the
consideration to which they are entitled under the terms of the
Offers, (ii) if not tendered in the Offers and the Offers
are consummated, then such Old Notes will be redeemed pursuant
to the terms of the survivors option or (iii) if the
Plan of Reorganization is consummated, then such Old Notes will
be exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Plan of
Reorganization. The New Notes will not contain a survivors
option.
Rounding
Convention in Connection with Issuance of New Preferred
Stock
No fractional shares of New Preferred Stock will be issued or
distributed, but the number of shares of New Preferred Stock
which a holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the CIT Offers
will be rounded to the nearest whole share (rounding up from
0.50 shares). Shares of New Preferred Stock will be
allocated to beneficial owners based upon the accounts
identified to the exchange agent in the Master Ballot prepared
by the broker-dealers as holders of record.
Changes
to the Terms of the Plan of Reorganization
JPM
L/C Facility Claims
The Plan of Reorganization has been amended to provide that
Class 6 consists of JPM L/C Facility Claims in the amount
of the aggregate face amount outstanding on the Petition Date,
approximately $350 million. To the extent of cash
collateral held by JPM on the Petition Date, approximately
$100 million, this Claim is secured; otherwise it is
unsecured.
Letters
of Credit Under JPM L/C Facility
JPM shall hold all cash collateral on hand as of the Petition
Date until the Effective Date, including any retainers
established for JPM counsel specified in any cash collateral
agreements between CIT Group Inc. and JPM.
JPM and the Filing Entities shall honor any and all draws under
the JPM L/C Facility in the ordinary course of business and
pursuant to the terms of the JPM L/C Facility Agreement. In the
event of any drawings, such drawings made after the Petition
Date but before the Effective Date, under any letter of credit
issued under the JPM L/C Facility (i) to the extent JPM
holds cash collateral supporting such drawn letter of credit,
JPM shall be authorized to apply such cash collateral to the
reimbursement obligation and the Filing Entities and JPM shall
stipulate, and the Filing Entities shall seek Bankruptcy Court
approval of any such stipulation, to lift the automatic stay to
allow JPM to so apply such cash collateral and (ii) to the
extent no cash collateral supports such drawn letter of credit,
CIT Group Inc. or a subsidiary of CIT Group Inc. in the case of
letters of credit for which a subsidiary of CIT Group Inc. is a
co-applicant
or account party shall pay the reimbursement
4
obligation under such drawn letter of credit in full or cause it
to be paid when due, in accordance with the JPM L/C Facility
Agreement. As part of such stipulation, if approved by the
Bankruptcy Court, JPM shall forbear, as long as the Plan of
Reorganization is consummated by one hundred fifty
(150) days from the Petition Date, and CIT Group Inc. is
fulfilling its obligations under such stipulation, from pursuing
any non-Debtor applicant, account party or other third party for
satisfaction of a reimbursement obligation under any letter of
credit issued and drawn under the JPM L/C Facility; provided
that the forgoing forbearance is entirely contractual and does
not constitute any admission that the automatic stay imposed by
Bankruptcy Code section 362 or any other law requires such
forbearance, and neither the Filing Entities nor the Reorganized
Debtors nor any of their affiliates shall seek entry of an order
during the Chapter 11 Cases restraining JPM from so pursing
any such person or entity. JPM will not terminate any unexpired
outstanding letters of credit without consent of CIT Group Inc.
and any beneficiary thereunder, provided that the foregoing
shall not prevent JPM from issuing a notice of non-renewal on
any evergreen letter of credit for which such renewal would
cause the next renewal date to extend past the expiry of the
facility on May 14, 2010.
If Class 6 JPM L/C Facility Claims votes to accept the Plan
of Reorganization, on, or as soon as reasonably practicable
after, the Effective Date, Reorganized CIT or a subsidiary of
Reorganized CIT in the case of letters of credit for which a
subsidiary or Reorganized CIT is a co-applicant or account party
shall provide JPM with the Cash Collateralization. All fees and
other charges arising under or in respect of the JPM L/C
Facility Agreement shall be paid on, or as soon as reasonably
practicable after, the Effective Date by Reorganized CIT. In
addition to the release provided in Article XIII.H.1 of the
Plan of Reorganization and in the Confirmation Order, upon the
Effective Date each non-Debtor subsidiary and affiliate of CIT
Group Inc. that was or is a co-applicant or account party on a
letter of credit issued under the JPM L/C Facility and JPM
and/or any
other lender(s) under the JPM L/C Facility shall execute a
mutual release and waiver of any and all claims against JPM
and/or any
other lenders under the JPM L/C Facility in respect of the JPM
L/C Facility
and/or the
JPM L/C Facility Agreement arising prior to the Effective Date.
If Class 6 JPM L/C Facility Claims does not vote to accept
the Plan of Reorganization and the Plan of Reorganization is
nonetheless confirmed, (i) Reorganized CIT or a subsidiary
of Reorganized CIT in the case of letters of credit for which a
subsidiary or Reorganized CIT is a co-applicant or account party
shall satisfy any Claims for reimbursement under the JPM L/C
Facility that arose during the Chapter 11 Cases in full on,
or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the Effective Date
and (ii) following the Effective Date, Reorganized CIT or a
subsidiary of Reorganized CIT in the case of letters of credit
for which a subsidiary or Reorganized CIT is a co-applicant or
account party shall pay all such Claims for reimbursement under
the JPM L/C Facility in the ordinary course of business and upon
the terms set forth in the JPM L/C Facility Agreement. In
exchange for Reorganized CIT maintaining the reimbursement
obligations in the immediately preceding (i) and (ii), JPM
shall not pursue any subsidiary or affiliate of CIT Group Inc.
or any other entity that JPM contends may be co-liable with CIT
Group Inc. under the JPM L/C Facility Agreement for any
remedies, claims or causes of action arising out of or relating
to the JPM L/C Facility or the JPM L/C Facility Agreement.
JPM shall provide CIT Group Inc. and Reorganized CIT with
updated reports in accordance with existing procedures of the
amount of letters of credit outstanding and drawings, if any,
thereunder and JPMs application of cash collateral against
CIT Group Inc.s
and/or
Reorganized CITs reimbursement obligations. To the extent
that, due to letters of credit expiring undrawn, the amount of
cash collateral held by JPM shall at any time exceed the
amount(s) provided pursuant to the Cash Collateralization, JPM
shall release any such excess cash collateral to CIT Group Inc.
and/or
Reorganized CIT upon written request from CIT Group Inc.
and/or
Reorganized CIT.
No letters of credit shall be issued, renewed, extended or
amended under the JPM L/C Facility after the Petition Date.
Treatment
of Class 7 Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claims
CIT Group Inc. has reached an agreement in principle with
certain holders of Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims whereby
such holders would agree to vote their Canadian Senior Unsecured
Notes in favor of the
5
Plan of Reorganization in exchange for modifying Class 7
treatment, including the terms of the Series B Notes as set
forth above. The Plan of Reorganization has been amended to
provide that (i) the Intercompany Notes shall be modified
to extend the maturity dates thereunder to correspond with the
maturity dates of the Series B Notes and shall not be
further modified other than as required to effectuate the
transactions contemplated by the Plan without the consent of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the holders of the
Series B Notes then outstanding; provided
however, that without such consent, the Intercompany
Notes may be amended in a manner that does not adversely affect
the holders of Series B Notes, and (ii) the CIT
Leasing Support Agreements shall remain in place and in effect
through such extended maturity dates of the Intercompany Notes.
As of the Effective Date, the CIT Leasing Support Agreements
shall be secured by a security interest granted by C.I.T.
Leasing Corporation in favor of Delaware Funding, and any
modifications to the CIT Leasing Support Agreements shall be
filed as a Plan Supplement; provided however that
the CIT Leasing Support Agreements shall not further be modified
without the consent of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the holders of the Series B Notes then outstanding;
provided further however that without such
consent, the CIT Leasing Support Agreements may be amended in a
manner that does not adversely affect the holders of the
Series B Notes. Delaware Fundings security interest
will be on substantially the same collateral securing the
Series A Notes and the Series B Notes. Pursuant to the
intercreditor arrangements between the collateral agent under
the Series A Notes, the collateral agent under the
Series B Notes and Delaware Funding, Delaware Funding will
agree not to exercise any remedies with respect to such security
interest without the consent of the collateral agent under the
Series B Notes. The Filing Entities shall file the amended
Intercompany Notes and any security agreement evidencing the
securitization of CIT Leasings obligations under the CIT
Leasing Support Agreements as Plan Supplements. On and after the
Effective Date, those holders of Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claims voting to accept the Plan (i) shall be deemed to
withdraw the Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Litigation and any
other action(s) pending against Delaware Funding as well as its
directors and officers in which such holders are participants,
(ii) shall forbear from participating, directly or
indirectly, in any action brought by noteholders or debtholders
against CIT Group Inc., Delaware Funding or their directors and
officers and (iii) shall turnover any proceeds received by
such holders as a result of or arising from any subsequent
litigation against CIT Group Inc., Delaware Funding or their
directors and officers based on the causes of action asserted in
the Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Litigation. Holders of
Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims shall have until the
Extended Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims Voting Deadline
(as defined in the Plan of Reorganization) to vote to accept or
reject the Plan; provided however that those
certain holders of Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims that
have entered into the agreement in principle with the Filing
Entities to support the Plan shall vote on or before the Voting
Deadline.
Class 8
Long-Dated Senior Unsecured Note Claims
The Plan of Reorganization has been amended to delete the
provision that only the votes of Early Electing Long-Dated
Senior Unsecured Note Claims Holders shall be counted with
respect to acceptance or rejection of the Plan of Reorganization.
Treatment
of Class 10 Senior Unsecured Term Loan Claims and
Class 11 Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement
Claims
In the event that Class 10 Senior Unsecured Term Loan
Claims votes to accept the Plan of Reorganization, the Plan of
Reorganization has been amended to provide that each holder of a
Class 10 Senior Unsecured Term Loan Claim may elect to
receive either (i) indebtedness under credit facilities of
Reorganized CIT on substantially the same terms as the
Series A Notes in lieu of a distribution of Series A
Notes or (ii) Series A Notes, each equal to a
distribution in the amount of 70% of such holders Allowed
Senior Unsecured Term Loan Claim. The Filing Entities will
establish procedures for such election following the Petition
Date. The allocation of New Common Interests to such holders
remains unchanged under the Plan of Reorganization.
In the event that Class 11 Senior Unsecured Credit
Agreement Claims votes to accept the Plan of Reorganization, the
Plan of Reorganization has been amended to provide that each
holder of a Class 11 Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement
Claim may elect to receive either (i) indebtedness under
credit facilities of
6
Reorganized CIT on substantially the same terms as the
Series A Notes in lieu of a distribution of Series A
Notes or (ii) Series A Notes, each equal to a
distribution in the amount of 70% of such holders Allowed
Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement Claim. The Filing Entities
will establish procedures for such election following the
Petition Date. The allocation of New Common Interests to such
holders remains unchanged under the Plan of Reorganization.
Treatment
of Class 13 Junior Subordinated Note Claims
CIT Group Inc. has reached an agreement in principle with
certain holders of Junior Subordinated Note Claims whereby such
holders would agree to vote their Junior Subordinated Notes in
favor of the Plan of Reorganization in exchange for modifying
Class 13 treatment to increase to 1.5% the percentage of
New Common Interests distributable pro rata to
holders of Junior Subordinated Note Claims (which percentage
shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of
the Plan of Reorganization) in the event Class 12 and
Class 13 accept the Plan of Reorganization. The increased
percentage of New Common Interests distributable to holders of
Junior Subordinated Note Claims to 1.5% in the event that
Class 12 and Class 13 accept the Plan of
Reorganization shall have a de minimis effect on
the percentage of New Common Interests distributable to other
holders under the Plan of Reorganization, which percentages will
be ratably reduced. This possibility was previously described in
the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement dated
October 16, 2009. The Filing Entities do not believe that
such increased percentage of New Common Interests distributable
to holders of Junior Subordinated Note Claims requires
resolicitation of the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure
Statement
and/or the
Plan of Reorganization under applicable securities laws
and/or the
Bankruptcy Code. If the Bankruptcy Court determines, however,
that the increased percentage of New Common Interests
distributable to holders of Junior Subordinated Note Claims, and
the resulting change in percentages of New Common Interests
distributable to other Classes, is a material change requiring
resolicitation of the Plan of Reorganization, holders of Claims
(including Junior Subordinated Note Claims) shall receive only
those percentages of New Common Interests specified in the
Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement and the Plan of
Reorganization each dated as of October 16, 2009.
The percentages of New Common Interests distributable to each of
Class 7 Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims, Class 8
Long-Dated Senior Unsecured Note Claims, Class 9 Senior
Unsecured Note Claims, Class 10 Senior Unsecured Term Loan
Claims, Class 11 Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement Claims
and Class 12 Senior Subordinated Note Claims have been
ratably reduced, as set forth in the amended Plan of
Reorganization attached hereto as Appendix B.
The estimated recoveries for Class 8, Class 9,
Class 10 and Class 11 have been modified, and such
modified estimated recoveries are 94.2% for each such Class
assuming (i) acceptance of the Plan of Reorganization by
Class 7 Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims,
Class 12 Senior Subordinated Note Claims and Class 13
Junior Subordinated Note Claims and (ii) New Common
Interests valued at the mid-point of Common Equity Value. The
estimated recovery for Class 13 Junior Subordinated Note
Claims has been modified to 15.4% assuming (i) acceptance
of the Plan of Reorganization by Class 7 Canadian Senior
Unsecured Note Claims, Class 12 Senior Subordinated Note
Claims and Class 13 Junior Subordinated Note Claims and
(ii) New Common Interests valued at the mid-point of Common
Equity Value. All other estimated recoveries set forth in the
Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement remain unchanged.
Percentages
of New Common Interests
Under the amended Plan of Reorganization, Classes 8, 9, 10
and 11 will still receive Series A Notes or indebtedness
under credit facilities on substantially the same terms as
Series A Notes, as applicable under the Plan of
Reorganization, equal to a distribution of 70% of holders
Claims, as well as New Common Interests. Class 12 Senior
Subordinated Notes and Class 13 Junior Subordinated Notes
may still receive New Common Interests and will receive
Contingent Value Rights under the amended Plan of
Reorganization. If Class 7 Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claims votes to reject the Plan of Reorganization, and the Plan
of Reorganization is nonetheless confirmed, Class 7 will
still receive Series A Notes and New Common Interests under
the amended Plan of Reorganization.
7
The updated percentages of New Common Interests distributable to
Classes 7 through 13 are set forth below. As noted above,
such percentages have been modified based upon an agreement in
principle with certain holders of Junior Subordinated Note
Claims to increase to 1.50% the percentage of New Common
Interests distributable pro rata to holders of
Junior Subordinated Note Claims (which percentage shall be
subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Plan
of Reorganization) in the event Class 12 and Class 13
accept the Plan of Reorganization. As set forth above, in the
event that the Bankruptcy Court determines that resolicitation
is required on these grounds, holders of Claims (including
Junior Subordinated Note Claims) shall receive only those
percentages of New Common Interests specified in the Offering
Memorandum and Disclosure Statement and the Plan of
Reorganization each dated as of October 16, 2009.

Releases
by Holders of Claims and Interests
Article XIII.H.2 of the Plan of Reorganization has been amended
to clarify that holders of Claims that affirmatively vote in
favor of the Plan shall not release any non-Debtor party from
any contractual obligations.
8
Liquidation
Analysis
The liquidation analysis contained in Appendix B of the
Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement has been amended
and is superseded by the liquidation analysis contained in
Appendix A to this Supplement No. 1.
Best
Interests Test
With respect to each Impaired Class of Claims and Interests,
confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization requires that each
holder of a Claim or Interest either (a) accept the Plan of
Reorganization or (b) receive or retain under the Plan of
Reorganization property of a value, as of the Effective Date,
that is not less than the value such holder would receive or
retain if the Filing Entities were liquidated under
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. To calculate the probable
distribution to holders of each Impaired Class of Claims and
Interests if the Filing Entities were liquidated under
Chapter 7, the Bankruptcy Court must first determine the
aggregate dollar amount that would be generated from the Filing
Entities assets if their Chapter 11 Cases were
converted to Chapter 7 cases under the Bankruptcy Code.
This liquidation value would consist primarily of
the proceeds from a forced sale of the Filing Entities
assets by a Chapter 7 trustee. The amount of liquidation
value available to unsecured creditors would be reduced by,
first, the claims of secured creditors to the extent of the
value of their collateral, and, second, by the costs and
expenses of liquidation, as well as by other administrative
expenses and costs of both Chapter 7 cases and
Chapter 11 cases. Costs of liquidation under Chapter 7
of the Bankruptcy Code would include the compensation of a
trustee, as well as of counsel and other professionals retained
by the trustee, asset disposition expenses, all unpaid expenses
incurred by the Filing Entities in their Chapter 11 Cases
(such as compensation of attorneys, financial advisors and
accountants) that are allowed in the Chapter 7 cases,
litigation costs, and claims arising from the operations of the
Filing Entities during the pendency of the Chapter 11
Cases. The liquidation itself would trigger certain Tax and
Other Priority Claims (collectively, Priority
Claims) that otherwise would be due in the ordinary course
of business. Those Priority Claims would be paid in full from
the liquidation proceeds before the balance would be made
available to pay General Unsecured Claims or to make any
distribution in respect of equity interests. The liquidation
would also prompt the rejection of most, if not all, of the
Filing Entities executory contracts and unexpired leases,
thereby creating a significant increase in General Unsecured
Claims.
The Filing Entities believe that the Plan of Reorganization
meets the best interests of creditors test of
section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Filing
Entities believe that the members of each of (i) Impaired
Classes 14, 16 and 18 will receive the same distribution
under the Plan of Reorganization as in a liquidation (i.e.,
zero) and (ii) Impaired Classes 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13 and 15 will receive more under the Plan of Reorganization
than they would receive in a liquidation. The Liquidation
Analysis for each potential Chapter 7 liquidation scenario,
attached hereto as
Appendices A-1
and A-2,
provides that in the event of a liquidation of CIT Group Inc.
and/or
Delaware Funding as described therein, the proceeds available
for holders of Class 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 Claims (all of whom
would rank pari passu in a Chapter 7 case for CIT Group
Inc.) would range from $840 million to $11.8 billion,
with a recovery of only 2.4% to 34.0% for holders of such
Claims. See
Appendix A-1.
That Liquidation Analysis also provides that there would be no
recovery to holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims, Junior
Subordinated Note Claims, Subordinated 510(b) Claims, Old
Preferred Interests, Old Common Interests and Other Equity
Interests. In addition, the separate Liquidation Analysis for
Delaware Funding provides that there would be no recovery from
the assets of Delaware Funding to holders of Canadian Senior
Unsecured Note Claims under either (i) a complete
liquidation of CIT Group Inc. and Delaware Funding, see
Appendix A-2,
Exhibit A-2.2
or (ii) the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization for
CIT Group Inc. and the subsequent liquidation of Delaware
Funding, see
Appendix A-2,
Exhibit A-2.1.
In contrast, under the Plan of Reorganization, holders of
Allowed Class 6 Claims and Allowed Class 7 Claims
(assuming Class 7 votes to accept the Plan) will receive a
100% recovery; holders of Allowed Class 8, 9, 10 and 11
Claims will receive a 94.2% recovery (assuming Class 7,
Class 12 and Class 13 vote to accept the Plan of
Reorganization); holders of Allowed Class 12 Claims will
receive a 50% recovery (assuming Class 7, Class 12 and
Class 13 Claims vote to accept the Plan of Reorganization);
and holders of Allowed Class 13 Claims will receive a 15.4%
recovery (assuming Class 7, Class 12 and Class 13
Claims vote to
9
accept the Plan of Reorganization). Moreover, holders of Old
Preferred Interests will receive Contingent Value Rights under
the Plan of Reorganization. Holders of Subordinated 510(b)
Claims, Old Common Interests and Other Equity Interests receive
nothing under the Plan of Reorganization or in Chapter 7
liquidation. Therefore, holders of such Claims and such
Interests will receive substantially more (as to Class 6,
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 Claims and Class 15 Interests)
or the same (as to Class 14 Claims and Class 16 and 18
Interests) under the Plan of Reorganization than in a
liquidation.
The foregoing recoveries assume that Series A Notes and
Series B Notes are valued at par and New Common Interests
are valued based on the mid-point of the equity value range set
forth in the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement titled
Equity Valuation Analysis.
Although the Filing Entities believe that the Plan of
Reorganization meets the best interests test of
section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, there can be no
assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will determine that the Plan
of Reorganization meets this test. THESE ESTIMATES OF VALUE ARE
SUBJECT TO A NUMBER OF ASSUMPTIONS AND SIGNIFICANT QUALIFYING
CONDITIONS. ACTUAL VALUES AND RECOVERIES COULD VARY MATERIALLY
FROM THE ESTIMATES SET FORTH HEREIN. See Offering Memorandum and
Disclosure Statement, Plan of Reorganization
Equity Valuation Analysis.
Application
of the Best Interests of Creditors Test to the
Liquidation Analyses and the Valuation
Under the Plan of Reorganization, with respect to Class 6,
Class 7, Class 8, Class 9, Class 10,
Class 11, Class 12 and Class 13, it is impossible
to determine with any specificity the value that will be
distributed to holders of such Claims. This difficulty in
estimating the value of recoveries is due to the lack of any
public market for the New Common Interests
and/or the
New Notes.
Notwithstanding the difficulty in quantifying recoveries to
holders of Allowed Claims in Class 6, Class 7,
Class 8, Class 9, Class 10, Class 11,
Class 12 and Class 13 with precision, the Filing
Entities believe that the financial disclosures and Projections
contained herein and in the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure
Statement imply a greater or equal recovery to holders of Claims
in Class 6, Class 7, Class 8, Class 9,
Class 10, Class 11, Class 12 and Class 13
than the recovery available in a Chapter 7 liquidation. As
set forth in the Liquidation Analysis for each potential
Chapter 7 scenario, holders of Allowed Claims in
Class 8, Class 9, Class 10 and Class 11 are
estimated to receive a recovery of 2.4% (low value) to 34.0%
(high value) in a Chapter 7 liquidation. See
Appendix A-1.
Under the Plan of Reorganization and based on the face amount
and aggregate initial liquidation preference of the New Common
Interests such Class 8, Class 9, Class 10 and
Class 11 Claimholders are estimated to receive a recovery
of approximately 94.2%. The foregoing recoveries assume that New
Common Interests are valued based on the mid-point of the equity
value range set forth in the section of the Offering Memorandum
and Disclosure Statement titled Equity Valuation
Analysis.
As set forth in the liquidation analysis, holders of Claims and
Interests in Classes 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 would
receive no recovery in a hypothetical Chapter 7 case.
In addition, the separate Liquidation Analysis for Delaware
Funding provides that there would be no recovery from the assets
of Delaware Funding to holders of Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claims under either (i) a complete liquidation of CIT Group
Inc. and Delaware Funding, see
Appendix A-2,
Exhibit A-2.2
or (ii) the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization for
CIT Group Inc. and the subsequent liquidation of Delaware
Funding, see
Appendix A-2,
Exhibit A-2.1.
Accordingly, the Filing Entities believe that the best
interests test of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code
is satisfied because the Filing Entities believe that the
members of each Impaired Class will receive greater or equal
value under the Plan of Reorganization than they would in a
liquidation. Although the Filing Entities believe that the Plan
of Reorganization meets the best interests test of
section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, there can be no
assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will determine that the Plan
of Reorganization meets this test.

Additional
Information Regarding the Delaware Funding Structure and
Intercompany Notes
Corporate
Structure of Original CIT Funding
Prior to its ultimate conversion to a Delaware limited liability
company pursuant to the Delaware Domestication, Original CIT
Funding was a direct subsidiary of CIT Group Inc. On or about
May 27, 2005, CIT Group Inc. transferred Original CIT
Funding to the CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. (CIT
EF) in exchange for shares of CIT EF. Substantially
contemporaneously therewith, CIT EF transferred Original CIT
Funding (including any preferred shares of Original CIT Funding)
to CIT Leasing in exchange for shares of CIT Leasing.
Support
Agreement in Connection with Intercompany Notes
Pursuant to the CIT Leasing Support Agreements, CIT Leasing
agreed to contribute additional capital to (i) Original CIT
Funding and (ii) CIT Barbados, from time to time whenever
necessary, so as to increase such entities value to an
amount necessary to maintain the solvency of (i) Original
CIT Funding and (ii) CIT Barbados. Such CIT Leasing Support
Agreements terminate upon the maturity date of the related
Intercompany Notes. Absent a restructuring of CIT Group Inc.
pursuant to the Offers
and/or the
Plan of Reorganization, the ability of CIT Leasing to make any
such payments under the CIT Leasing Support Agreements when due
is unable to be assessed. As set forth herein and in the Plan of
Reorganization attached hereto as Appendix B, the CIT
Leasing Support Agreements will be modified as of the Effective
Date and any such modifications will be filed as a Plan
Supplement.
Certain holders of the Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes may
contend that Delaware Funding may maintain claims against CIT
Leasing on account of obligations to maintain solvency under the
CIT Leasing Support Agreements.
Additional
Developments
Updated
Information with Respect to the Senior Credit
Facility
We are in discussions regarding a potential amendment and
restatement of the Senior Credit Facility (the Senior
Facility Amendment) to permit additional commitments for
multiple-draw senior secured term loans in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed an additional $6.5 billion.
We are in discussions to obtain lender commitments for
additional senior secured term loans of up to $4.5 billion
and the option to request commitments for senior secured term
loans of up to an additional $2.0 billion. Drawings on the
additional senior secured term loan commitments would be used
(i) to refinance specified existing indebtedness of the
Company not subject to the Offers, (ii) to provide for
additional permitted conduit financings, (iii) to cash
collateralize obligations in respect of letters of credit having
a face amount of up to $500 million issued under existing
and new facilities for the benefit of the Company, (iv) to
facilitate an amendment to an existing derivatives transaction,
including the provision of cash collateral and the payment of
certain amounts to the counterparty thereunder and (v) for
general corporate purposes in an aggregate principal amount of
up to $500 million. We are also seeking certain other
changes to the Senior Credit Facility in the Senior Facility
Amendment, including certain covenant revisions, changes to
permit the addition of borrowers, the addition of collateral
released or repurchased in connection with the refinancing of
existing indebtedness of the Company not subject to the Offers,
which additional collateral may include, but shall not be
limited to, (i) trade receivables, proceeds, collections
and documents related thereto, and related equipment and
accounts; (ii) commercial loan assets and related
documents; (iii) aircraft and related rights and documents,
including lease rights; and (iv) railcars and underlying
subleases subject to head leases, and the succession by Bank of
America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent under
the Senior Credit Facility. We expect to finalize the additional
commitments and obtain consents to the amendments described
above in the coming days, subject to agreement on the definitive
documentation and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

APPENDIX A-1
LIQUIDATION
ANALYSIS
CIT GROUP
INC.
The Bankruptcy Code requires that each holder of an Impaired
Claim or Interest either (a) accept the Plan of
Reorganization or (b) receive or retain property of a
value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the value
such holder would receive or retain if CIT Group Inc.
(CIT or the Debtor) were liquidated
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on December 31,
2009. The first step in determining whether this test has been
met is to determine the estimated amount that would be generated
from the liquidation of the Debtors assets and properties
in the context of the Chapter 7 liquidation case. The gross
amount of cash available to the holders of Impaired Claims or
Interests would be the sum of the proceeds from the disposition
of the Debtors assets through the liquidation proceedings
and the cash held by the Debtor at the time of the commencement
of the Chapter 7 case. This gross amount of cash available
is reduced by the amount of any Claims secured by the
estates assets, the costs and expenses of the liquidation,
and additional administrative expenses that may result from the
termination of the Debtors businesses and the use of
Chapter 7 for the purposes of liquidation. Any remaining
net cash would be allocated to creditors and shareholders in
strict priority in accordance with Section 726 of the
Bankruptcy Code. For purposes of this liquidation analysis, it
is assumed that the assets of CIT Group Inc. are liquidated for
the benefit of CITs creditors. A general summary of the
assumptions used by CIT management in preparing this liquidation
analysis follows. The more specific assumptions are discussed
below.
Estimate
of Net Proceeds
Estimates were made of the cash proceeds which might be realized
from the liquidation of the Debtors assets. The
Chapter 7 liquidation period is assumed to commence on
December 31, 2009 and to last twelve months following the
appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee. Recoveries to creditors
are presented on an undiscounted basis. For purposes of the
analysis, estimated asset balances as of June 30, 2009 with
certain proforma adjustments were used to estimate recoveries.
There can be no assurance that the liquidation would be
completed in a limited time frame, nor is there any assurance
that the recoveries assigned to the assets would in fact be
realized. Under Section 704 of the Bankruptcy Code, an
appointed trustee must, among other duties, collect and convert
the property of the estate as expeditiously (generally at
distressed prices) as is compatible with the best interests of
the
parties-in-interest.
The liquidation analysis assumes that there would be pressure to
complete the sales process within twelve months. In addition, it
is assumed that CIT Bank, a direct subsidiary of CIT Group Inc.,
would be seized by the FDIC. Although CIT Group Inc. presently
has equity in CIT Bank, upon such a seizure the ability of CIT
Bank to receive such value is uncertain. Additionally, CIT Group
Inc. may have continuing obligations to CIT Bank. Thus, this
analysis assumes that CIT Bank neither contributes proceeds to
nor imposes costs on the estate.
Estimate
of Costs
The Debtors cost of liquidation under Chapter 7 would
include fees payable to a Chapter 7 trustee, as well as
those which might be payable to attorneys and other
professionals that such a trustee may engage. Further, costs of
liquidation would include any obligations and unpaid expenses
incurred by the Debtor until conclusion of the Chapter 7
case.
Additional Claims would arise by reason of the breach or
rejection of obligations incurred under executory contracts, or
leases entered into by the Debtor. It is possible that in a
Chapter 7 case, the wind-down expenses may be greater or
less than the estimated amount. Such expenses are in part
dependent on the length of time of the liquidation.
Distribution
of Net Proceeds under Absolute Priority
The costs, expenses, fees and such other Claims that may arise
and constitute necessary costs and expenses in a liquidation
case would be paid in full from the liquidation proceeds before
the balance of those
A-1
proceeds would be made available to General Unsecured Claims and
the Senior Subordinated Note Claims and the Junior Subordinated
Note Claims (together, the Subordinated Unsecured
Claims). Under the absolute priority rule, no junior
creditor would receive any distribution until all senior
creditors are paid in full. The Debtor believes that in the
Chapter 7 case, general unsecured creditors at CIT may
receive a recovery within the range of 2% to 35%.The Debtor
further believes that subordinated unsecured creditors will
likely receive no recovery.
After consideration of the effects that a Chapter 7
liquidation would have on the ultimate proceeds available for
distribution to creditors, including (i) the increased
costs and expenses of a liquidation under Chapter 7 arising
from fees payable to a trustee in a bankruptcy and professional
advisors to such trustee, (ii) an erosion in the value of
assets in the Chapter 7 case in the context of the
expeditious liquidation required under Chapter 7 and the
forced sales atmosphere that would likely prevail, and
(iii) the substantial increase in Claims that would need to
be satisfied on a priority basis. THE DEBTOR HAS DETERMINED, AS
SUMMARIZED ON THE FOLLOWING CHART, THAT CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN
OF REORGANIZATION WILL PROVIDE EACH CREDITOR AND EQUITY HOLDER
WITH A RECOVERY EQUAL OR GREATER THAN IT WOULD RECEIVE PURSUANT
TO A LIQUIDATION OF THE DEBTOR UNDER CHAPTER 7 OF THE
BANKRUPTCY CODE.
THE DEBTORS LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS IS AN ESTIMATE OF THE
PROCEEDS THAT MAY BE GENERATED AS A RESULT OF A HYPOTHETICAL
CHAPTER 7 LIQUIDATION OF THE ASSETS OF THE DEBTOR.
Underlying the liquidation analysis are a number of estimates
and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant
economic, competitive, and operational uncertainties, and
contingencies beyond the control of the Debtor or a
Chapter 7 trustee. In addition, various liquidation
decisions upon which certain assumptions are based are subject
to change. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the
assumptions and estimates employed in determining the
liquidation values of the assets will result in an accurate
estimate of the proceeds that would be realized were the Debtor
to undergo an actual liquidation. The actual amounts of Claims
against the estate could vary significantly from the estimate
set forth herein, depending on the Claims asserted during the
pendency of the Chapter 7 case. Moreover, this liquidation
analysis does not include liabilities that may arise as a result
of litigation, certain new tax assessments, or other potential
Claims. This analysis also does not include potential recoveries
from avoidance actions. No value was assigned to additional
proceeds that might result from the sale of certain items with
intangible value. Therefore, the actual liquidation value of the
Debtor could vary materially from the estimates provided herein.
THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS SET FORTH HEREIN WAS BASED ON THE
VALUES OF DEBTORS ASSETS ON JUNE 30, 2009 WITH CERTAIN
PROFORMA ADJUSTMENTS. TO THE EXTENT THAT OPERATIONS THROUGH SUCH
DATE WERE DIFFERENT THAN ESTIMATED, THE ASSET VALUES MAY CHANGE.
PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP, THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR CIT, HAS NOT EXAMINED, COMPILED OR OTHERWISE
APPLIED PROCEDURES TO THESE VALUES AND, CONSEQUENTLY, DOES NOT
EXPRESS AN OPINION OR ANY OTHER FORM OF ASSURANCE WITH
RESPECT TO THE VALUES IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS.
Estimated net proceeds may be realized from the liquidation of
CITs subsidiaries. The method of liquidation may vary
greatly from subsidiary to subsidiary depending on the
jurisdiction or country in which it resides or was formed. The
obligations are assumed to be satisfied at the individual entity
level, and the excess would then flow upward to the next
ownership level and ultimately to CIT Group Inc., to the extent
available.

The Equity Investments in
Subsidiaries include a net increase of $3.3 billion in
value attributed to the Company refinancing certain secured
borrowings, the funds for such refinancings being provided by
the incremental $4.5 billion of funding that the Company is
seeking from its existing secured lenders and third parties.
|
|

|
|
This balance reflects
$4.5 billion of incremental funding provided under
(a) an expansion of the existing Senior Credit Facility
funded by existing secured lenders, or (b) a new senior
credit facility provided by another group. Assets
collateralizing the incremental borrowings from the expansion
facility or the new senior credit facility are in CIT
Groups subsidiaries, the value of which is reflected in
the Equity Investment in Subsidiaries.

A-3
Proceeds
Cash
Cash consists of all unrestricted cash in banks or operating
accounts and cash held at divisions as of June 30, 2009. In
addition, CITs cash balance includes proforma adjustments
from cash received from the July 2009 new debt facility. Cash is
assumed to be fully recoverable. The cash recovered may be
materially different if financial institutions have rights of
off-set against cash, or if cash is unrecoverable from the
non-US subsidiaries.
Equity
Investments in Subsidiaries
All of the finance receivables and operating leases owned by CIT
on a consolidated basis are held by CITs subsidiary
entities. Certain of those assets held by CITs subsidiary
entities are subject to liens securing prior financings, such as
securitization transactions, conduit facilities, secured loans
and other forms of secured financing. In addition, certain of
CITs subsidiary entities owe unsecured debts and
liabilities that must be satisfied before the assets of such
entities can be used to satisfy the liabilities of their parent
entities. CITs equity investments in subsidiaries
represent the assets remaining at all subsidiary entities after
these entities have fully satisfied their subsidiary-level debts
and liabilities. Recovery of these excess assets may be
adversely impacted in a Chapter 7 liquidation by the same
risks described in the cash, finance receivables, operating
leases, and other assets sections. As a result of
$4.5 billion incremental borrowings by CIT Group, Inc.
under the Senior Credit Facility or a new senior credit facility
provided by another group, the Equity Investments in
Subsidiaries has increased by $3.3 billion, that reduces
debt at the subsidiary levels and increases the value of
unencumbered assets. The increase in Equity Investments in
Subsidiaries is, however, offset by the additional
$4.5 billion increase in Secured Claims.
Finance
Receivables
The Debtors finance receivables primarily consist of
various loans and capital leases extended to customers in the
form of asset and cash flow based loans, capital leases,
factored receivables and other types of recourse and non
recourse loans, among others. The effect of a Chapter 7
liquidation and the specific direct costs that would have to be
incurred to collect on receivables would adversely impact the
recovery on receivables. As such, an estimated recovery of 38%
to 80% is applied (with an average blended recovery of 50%), to
the estimated amount outstanding at June 30, 2009 that
pertains to these assets. All of the finance receivables are
held at CITs subsidiary entities.
Operating
Leases
The Debtors operating leases are contracts primarily
extended to customers that allow the use of an asset, but do not
convey the rights of ownership to the customer. The largest
concentrations of accounts are primarily with companies in the
transportation industries. The effect of a Chapter 7
liquidation, and the specific direct costs that would have to be
incurred to collect on operating leases, would adversely impact
the recovery on operating leases. As such, an estimated recovery
of 48% to 75% is applied (with an average blended recovery of
62%), to the estimated amount outstanding at June 30, 2009
that pertains to these assets. All of the operating leases are
held at CITs subsidiary entities.
Other
Assets
Other assets primarily include miscellaneous receivables,
receivables from derivative counterparties, interest bearing
deposits, and investments. The effect of a Chapter 7
liquidation, and the specific direct costs that would have to be
incurred in order to monetize these assets, would adversely
impact the recovery on these assets. As such, an estimated
recovery of 0% to 100% is applied (with an average blended
recovery of 40%) to the estimated amount outstanding at
June 30, 2009 that pertains to these assets. Other assets
are held at CIT and its subsidiaries.
A-4
Wind-down
Operating Costs
Ongoing operating expenses consist of corporate overhead and
occupancy costs to be incurred during the Chapter 7
liquidation period. The Debtor assumes that the liquidation
would occur over a twelve-month period and that such expenses,
costs and overhead would decrease over time, especially after
January 2011 when agreements are assumed to be reached for the
sale of all of the assets. Any positive income from operating
businesses generated during this time was assumed to offset
wind-down operating costs.
Trustee &
Professional Fees
Based on CIT managements review of the nature of these
costs and the outcomes of similar liquidations, fees were
estimated at $350 million to $769 million in total for
the Debtor. This figure is comprised of approximately
$275 million to $619 million of trustee fees (3.0% of
the proceeds available for distribution based on the Bankruptcy
Code) and $75 million to $150 million of other
professional fees. The amount of professional fees is related to
the large size and complexity of the liquidation.
Secured
Claims
Secured Claims are given priority under the Bankruptcy Code and
are entitled to payment prior to any payment on unsecured claims.
Priority
Unsecured Claims
Priority Unsecured Claims are given priority under the
Bankruptcy Code and are entitled to payment prior to any payment
on most other unsecured claims. Federal taxes, sales and local
income taxes, and foreign taxes are included in this category.
General
Unsecured Claims
At CIT, General Unsecured Claims consist of $2.2 billion of
Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Guarantee, $1.2 billion of
Long-Dated Senior Unsecured Note Claims, $25.9 billion of
Senior Unsecured Note Claims, $321 million of Senior
Unsecured Term Loan Claims, $3.1 billion of Senior
Unsecured Credit Agreement Claims, $1.0 billion of Other
Unsecured Liabilities, and $1.1 billion of Accrued
Liabilities and Accounts Payable. General Unsecured Claims were
adjusted from the June 30, 2009 balances to reflect the
most current amounts and allocations of all outstanding debt
loans and notes.
Subordinated
Unsecured Claims
Subordinated Unsecured Claims includes $779 million of
Junior Subordinated Note Claims and $1.2 billion of Senior
Subordinated Note Claims. Subordinated Unsecured Claims were
adjusted from the June 30, 2009 balances to reflect the
most current amounts and allocations of outstanding debt loans
and notes.
The Debtor believes that the value of any distributions from the
liquidation proceeds to each class of Allowed Claims in a
Chapter 7 liquidation may not occur for a substantial
period of time. In this regard, it is possible that distribution
of the proceeds of the liquidation could be delayed for a year
or more after the completion of such liquidation in order to
resolve the Claims and prepare for distributions. In the event
litigation was necessary to resolve Claims asserted in the
Chapter 7 case, the delay could be further prolonged and
administrative expenses further increased. The effects of this
delay on the value of distributions under the hypothetical
liquidation have not been considered.
THE DEBTORS LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS IS AN ESTIMATE OF THE
PROCEEDS THAT MAY BE GENERATED AS A RESULT OF A HYPOTHETICAL
CHAPTER 7 LIQUIDATION OF THE ASSETS OF THE DEBTOR.
Underlying the liquidation analysis is a number of estimates and
assumptions that are inherently subject to significant economic,
competitive, and operational uncertainties and contingencies
beyond the control of the Debtor or a Chapter 7 trustee. In
addition, various liquidation decisions upon which certain
assumptions are based are subject to change. Therefore, there
can be no assurance that the assumptions and estimates employed
in determining the liquidation values of the Debtor will result
in an accurate estimate of
A-5
the proceeds that would be realized were the Debtor to undergo
an actual liquidation. General Unsecured Claims and Subordinated
Unsecured Claims to the estate could vary significantly from the
estimates set forth herein, depending on the Claims asserted
during the pendency of the Chapter 7 case. Moreover, this
liquidation analysis does not include liabilities that may arise
as a result of litigation, certain new tax assessments, or other
potential Claims. This analysis also does not include potential
recoveries from avoidance actions. No value was assigned to
additional proceeds that might result from the sale of certain
items with intangible value. Therefore, the actual liquidation
value of the Debtor could vary materially from the estimates
provided herein.
A-6
APPENDIX A-2
LIQUIDATION
ANALYSIS
CIT GROUP
FUNDING COMPANY OF DELAWARE LLC
The Bankruptcy Code requires that each holder of an Impaired
Claim or Interest either (a) accepts the Plan of
Reorganization or (b) receive or retain property of a
value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the value
such holder would receive or retain if CIT Group Funding Company
of Delaware LLC (Delaware Funding or the
Debtor) was liquidated under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code on the Effective Date. The first step in
determining whether this test has been met is to determine the
estimated amount that would be generated from the liquidation of
the Debtors assets and properties in the context of the
Chapter 7 liquidation case. The gross amount of cash
available to the holders of Impaired Claims or Interests would
be the sum of the proceeds from the disposition of Debtors
assets through the liquidation proceedings and the cash held by
the Debtor at the time of the commencement of the Chapter 7
case. This gross amount of cash available is reduced by the
amount of any Claims secured by the estates assets, the
costs and expenses of the liquidation, and additional
administrative expenses that may result from the termination of
the Debtors businesses and the use of Chapter 7 for
the purposes of liquidation. Any remaining net cash would be
allocated to creditors and shareholders in strict priority in
accordance with Section 726 of the Bankruptcy Code. For
purposes of this liquidation analysis, it is assumed that the
assets of Delaware Funding are liquidated for the benefit of the
creditors of Delaware Funding. In addition, this analysis
presents two scenarios. The first scenario assumes that the
pre-packaged plan for CIT Group, Inc. is consummated and
Delaware Funding commences a liquidation under Chapter 7
immediately thereafter. See Exhibit A 2.1. The
second scenario assumes a liquidation of CIT Group Inc. and
Delaware Funding. See Exhibit A 2.2. A general
summary of the assumptions used by management in preparing this
liquidation analysis follows. The more specific assumptions are
discussed below.
Exhibit A
2.1
Estimate
of Net Proceeds
Estimates were made of the cash proceeds that might be realized
from the liquidation of the Debtors assets. This analysis
assumes the consummation of the Prepackaged Plan of
Reorganization for CIT Group Inc. on December 31, 2009 and
that Delaware Funding commences Chapter 7 liquidation on
January 1, 2010 that lasts for 12 months following the
appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee. Recoveries to creditors
are presented on an undiscounted basis. For purposes of the
analysis, the Intercompany Note Proceeds reflect potential
payments to Delaware Funding pursuant to the five Intercompany
Notes issued by CIT Financial Ltd. (CFL)
contemporaneously with the issuance of the Canadian Senior
Unsecured Notes. The low value incorporates an estimate of
proceeds that may be available to Delaware Funding in the event
that CFL is unable to meet its debts as they become due and
determines to commence liquidation or insolvency proceedings in
Canada; the high value of proceeds incorporates the face amount
of the Intercompany Notes. Moreover, the analysis assumes that
CIT Leasing is unable to satisfy its obligation to maintain the
solvency of Delaware Funding under Support Agreements dated
July 5, 2005 and November 1, 2006 between Delaware
Funding and CIT Leasing. In the event that CIT Leasing is able
to satisfy its obligations under such Support Agreements,
creditors may receive recoveries that are materially higher or
actually be paid in full.
There can be no assurance that a liquidation of Delaware Funding
would be completed in the limited time frame assumed, nor is
there any assurance that the recoveries assigned to the assets
would in fact be realized. Under Section 704 of the
Bankruptcy Code, an appointed trustee must, among other duties,
collect and convert the property of the estate as expeditiously
(generally at distressed prices) as is compatible with the best
interests of the
parties-in-interest.
The liquidation analysis assumes that there would be pressure to
complete the sales process within twelve months.
A-7
Estimate
of Costs
The Debtors cost of liquidation under Chapter 7 would
include fees payable to a Chapter 7 trustee, as well as
those which might be payable to attorneys and other
professionals that such a trustee may engage. Further, costs of
liquidation would include any obligations and unpaid expenses
incurred by the Debtor until conclusion of the Chapter 7
case.
Secured
Claims
Secured Claims are given priority under the Bankruptcy Code and
are entitled to payment prior to any payment on unsecured
claims. The Secured Claims consist of the CIT Barbados secured
claim in the amount of $2.2 billion which amount reflects
obligations secured by the CIT Funding Security Agreements
pursuant to which a security interest was granted to CIT
Barbados in each of five Intercompany Notes. The CIT Funding
Security Agreements consist of three security agreements dated
as of July 5, 2005 and two security agreements dated as of
November 1, 2006 and were entered into for tax planning
purposes. Additionally, the Secured Claims include the
$3.0 billion outstanding under the Existing Senior Credit
Facility which claim is secured by a lien on the assets of
Delaware Funding. Because the Canadian Note Holders are assumed
to vote against the Pre-Packaged Plan, the lien securing the
$3 billion secured claim is assumed not to be released.
This lien is, however, also being challenged pursuant to the
Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Litigation. Finally, the Secured
Claims do not include the $4.5 billion of incremental
senior secured borrowings the Company is seeking from its
existing secured lenders and third parties.
Priority
Unsecured Claims
Priority Unsecured Claims are given priority under the
Bankruptcy Code and are entitled to payment prior to any payment
on most other unsecured claims. Federal taxes, sales and local
income taxes, and foreign taxes are included in this category.
General
Unsecured Claims
The General Unsecured Claims consist of $164 million of
Remaining Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims the value
remaining after holders receive the projected distributions from
CIT Group and $23 million of Accrued Liabilities and
Accounts Payable.
Subrogated
Claims
Subrogated Claims include $2.0 billion of CIT Group Inc.
subrogated claims on account of guarantee payments made on
behalf of Delaware Funding by CIT Group Inc.

This analysis assumes the
consummation of the Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization for CIT
Group Inc. on December 31, 2009 and that CIT Group Funding
Company of Delaware commences Chapter 7 liquidation on
January 1, 2010 that lasts for 12 months.
|
|
(2)
|
|
The Intercompany Note Proceeds
reflect potential payments to Delaware Funding pursuant to the
five Intercompany Notes issued by CIT Financial Ltd. in
connection with the issuance of the Canadian Senior Unsecured
Notes. This analysis assumes that CFL is unable to satisfy its
obligations on two Intercompany Notes due in July 2010 in the
approximate amount of $1 billion. As a result of that
failure, CFL is assumed to commence insolvency or other
liquidation proceedings in Canada, and, as a consequence,
Delaware Funding is forced to convert its case into a
Chapter 7 liquidation. This liquidation is assumed to last
12 months and presumes that Delaware Funding will receive
proceeds from the liquidation of the two Intercompany Notes due
in July 2010 as well as three additional Intercompany Notes in
the aggregate face amount of $1.2 billion within the
following 12 month period. The low value is an estimate of
the proceeds that may be available to Delaware Funding in the
event that CIT Financial Ltd. is unable to meet its debts as
they become due and determines to commence liquidation or
insolvency proceedings in Canada; the high value reflects the
face amount of the Intercompany Notes.
|
|
(3)
|
|
The amount of the CIT Barbados
Secured Claim reflects the secured obligations under the CIT
Funding Security Agreements pursuant to which a security
interest was granted to CIT Barbados in each of the Intercompany
Notes. Three such security agreements are dated as of
July 5, 2005 and two security agreements are dated as of
November 1, 2006. These secured obligations were put into
place at the time of the issuance of the Intercompany Notes for
tax planning purposes. This Recovery analysis also assumes that
CIT Leasing cannot meet its obligation under the two Support
Agreements between CIT Leasing and Delaware Funding, pursuant to
which agreements CIT Leasing must maintain the solvency of
Delaware Funding. To the extent that CIT Leasing is able to
honor its obligation under the Support Agreements, creditors may
receive recoveries that are materially higher or actually be
paid in full.
|
|
(4)
|
|
The $3.0 billion claim under
the Existing Senior Credit Facility does not reflect
$4.5 billion of incremental senior secured borrowings the
Company is presently seeking Moreover, the lien securing such
borrowings and reflects that the lien securing the facility is
not released because it is assumed the Canadian Note Holders
vote against the Pre-Packaged Plan. That lien is, however, being
challenged pursuant to the Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Litigation and may be avoided.
|
|
(5)
|
|
This amount constitutes the value
of the Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims remaining after
holders receive the projected Class 7 distribution of 92.5%
under the CIT Group Prepackaged Plan (see
Exhibit C 16). If CIT Leasing is able to honor
its obligations under the Support Agreements this Claim may be
paid in full.

A-9
Exhibit A
2.2:
Estimate
of Net Proceeds
Estimates were made of the cash proceeds which might be realized
from the liquidation of the Debtors assets. This analysis
assumes that CIT Group Inc. and its subsidiaries as well as
Delaware Funding commence a Chapter 7 liquidation on
January 1, 2010 that lasts for 12 months following the
appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee. Recoveries to creditors
are presented on an undiscounted basis. There can be no
assurance that the liquidation would be completed in a limited
time frame, nor is there any assurance that the recoveries
assigned to the assets would in fact be realized. Under
Section 704 of the Bankruptcy Code, an appointed trustee
must, among other duties, collect and convert the property of
the estate as expeditiously (generally at distressed prices) as
is compatible with the best interests of the
parties-in-interest.
The liquidation analysis assumes that there would be pressure to
complete the sales process within twelve months.
Estimate
of Costs
The Debtors cost of liquidation under Chapter 7 would
include fees payable to a Chapter 7 trustee, as well as
those which might be payable to attorneys and other
professionals that such a trustee may engage. Further, costs of
liquidation would include any obligations and unpaid expenses
incurred by the Debtor until conclusion of the Chapter 7
case.
Secured
Claims
Secured Claims are given priority under the Bankruptcy Rules and
are entitled to payment prior to any payment on unsecured
claims. The Secured Claims are $2.2 billion that reflect
the amount of secured obligations under the CIT Funding Security
Agreements pursuant to which a security interest was granted to
CIT Barbados in each of five Intercompany Notes. The CIT Funding
Security Agreements consist of three security agreements dated
as of July 5, 2005 and two security agreements dated as of
November 1, 2006 tax planning laws. Additionally, the
Secured Claims include the $3.0 billion outstanding under
the Senior Credit Facility which claims is secured by a lien on
the assets of Delaware Funding. Because the Canadian Note
Holders are assumed to vote against the Pre-Packaged Plan and
the lien securing the $3 billion Secured Claim is assumed
not to be released. Finally, the Secured Claims do not include
the $4.5 billion of incrementally senior secured borrowings
the Company is seeking for its Secured Lenders or third parties.
This lien is being challenged pursuant to the Canadian Senior
Unsecured Note Litigation.
Priority
Unsecured Claims
Priority Unsecured Claims are given priority under the
Bankruptcy Code and are entitled to payment prior to any payment
on most other unsecured claims. Federal taxes, sales and local
income taxes, and foreign taxes are included in this category.
General
Unsecured Claims
The amount of the Canadian Senior Unsecured Note claims
remaining after CIT Group Inc. makes a distribution on such
claims in the amount of the estimated recoveries set forth in
the liquidation analysis in
Appendix A-1.
Because this analysis also includes estimates for the separate,
assumed liquidation of CFL, the estimated liquidation
percentages recoveries in
Appendix A-1
are higher by a de minimis amount.
At Delaware Funding, General Unsecured Claims consist of a range
of Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims from $1.4 billion
to $2.1 billion, and $23 million of Accrued
Liabilities and Accounts Payable.
Subrogated
Claims
Subrogated Claims include a range of $53 million to
$774 million of CIT Group Inc. subrogated claims on account
of guarantee payments made on behalf of Delaware Funding at CIT
Group Inc.

This analysis assumes liquidation
commences on December 31, 2009 and lasts 12 months.
|
|
(2)
|
|
This analysis assumes that CIT
Financial Ltd. is unable to satisfy its obligations on two
Intercompany Notes due in July 2010 in the approximate amount of
$1 billion. As a result of that failure, CIT Financial Ltd.
is assumed to commence insolvency or other liquidation
proceedings in Canada, and, as a consequence, Delaware Funding
is forced to convert its case into a Chapter 7 liquidation.
The liquidation is assumed to last 12 months and presumes
that Delaware Funding will also receive proceeds from the
liquidation of three additional Intercompany Notes in the
aggregate face amount of $1.2 billion within the following
12-month
period.
|
|
(3)
|

The CIT Barbados Secured Claim
represents the amount of secured obligations under the CIT
Funding Security Agreements pursuant to which a security
interest was granted to CIT Barbados in each of the Intercompany
Notes, three such security agreements are dated as of
July 5, 2005 and two security agreements are dated as of
November 1, 2006. This secured obligation was put into
place at the time of the issuance of the notes for tax planning
purposes. The Recovery analysis assumes that $3 billion of
the existing Senior Credit Facility as well as the incremental
$4.5 billion of senior secured borrowings is paid in full
from the proceeds received as a result of the liquidation of
other assets of CIT Group Inc. This analysis assumes that CIT
Leasing cannot meet its obligation to maintain the solvency of
Delaware Funding under the Support Agreements between CIT
Leasing and Delaware Funding. To the extent that CIT Leasing is
able to honor its obligations under the Support Agreements,
creditors may receive recoveries that are materially higher or
possibly be paid in full.
|
|
(4)
|
|
The Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claim reflects the amount remaining after CIT Group Inc. makes a
distribution in the amount of the estimated recoveries set forth
in the liquidation analysis in
Appendix A-1.
Because this analysis also includes estimates for the separate,
assumed liquidation of CFL, the estimated liquidation
percentages recoveries in
Appendix A-1
are higher by a de minimis amount.

Additional Claims would arise by reason of the breach or
rejections of obligations incurred under executory contracts or
leases entered into by the Debtor. It is possible that in a
Chapter 7 case, the wind-down expenses may be greater or
less than the estimated amount. Such expenses are in part
dependent on the length of time of the liquidation.
Distribution
of Net Proceeds under Absolute Priority
The foregoing types of Claims, costs, expenses, fees and such
other Claims that may arise in a liquidation case would provide
partial to full payment from the liquidation proceeds before the
balance of those proceeds would be made available to General
Unsecured Claims and the Subrogated Claims. Under the absolute
priority rule, no junior creditor would receive any distribution
until all senior creditors are paid in full. The Debtor believes
that in the Chapter 7 case, general unsecured creditors at
Delaware Funding may receive a de minimis recovery.
After consideration of the effects that a Chapter 7
liquidation would have on the ultimate proceeds available for
distribution to creditors, including (i) the increased
costs and expenses of a liquidation under Chapter 7 arising
from fees payable to a trustee in a bankruptcy and professional
advisors to such trustee, (ii) the erosion in value of
assets in the Chapter 7 case in the context of the
expeditious liquidation required under Chapter 7 and the
forced sales atmosphere that would likely prevail, and
(iii) the substantial increase in Claims which would be
satisfied on a priority basis, THE DEBTOR HAS DETERMINED THAT
CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION WILL PROVIDE EACH
CREDITOR AND EQUITY HOLDER WITH A RECOVERY EQUAL OR GREATER THAN
IT WOULD RECEIVE PURSUANT TO A LIQUIDATION OF THE DEBTOR UNDER
CHAPTER 7 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.
THE DEBTORS LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS IS AN ESTIMATE OF THE
PROCEEDS THAT MAY BE GENERATED AS A RESULT OF A HYPOTHETICAL
CHAPTER 7 LIQUIDATION OF THE ASSETS OF THE DEBTOR.
Underlying the liquidation analysis are a number of estimates
and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant
economic, competitive and operational uncertainties and
contingencies beyond the control of the Debtor or a
Chapter 7 trustee. In addition, various liquidation
decisions upon which certain assumptions are based are subject
to change. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the
assumptions and estimates employed in determining the
liquidation values of the assets will result in an accurate
estimate of the proceeds that would be realized were the Debtor
to undergo an actual liquidation. The actual amounts of
A-12
Claims against the estate could vary significantly from the
estimate set forth herein, depending on the Claims asserted
during the pendency of the Chapter 7 case. Moreover, this
liquidation analysis does not include liabilities that may arise
as a result of litigation, certain new tax assessments, or other
potential Claims. This analysis also does not include potential
recoveries from avoidance actions. No value was assigned to
additional proceeds that might result from the sale of certain
items with intangible value. Therefore, the actual liquidation
value of the Debtor could vary materially from the estimates
provided herein.
THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS SET FORTH HEREIN WAS BASED ON THE
VALUES OF DEBTORS ASSETS ON JANUARY 1, 2010 WITH CERTAIN
PROFORMA ADJUSTMENTS. TO THE EXTENT THAT OPERATIONS THROUGH SUCH
DATE WERE DIFFERENT THAN ESTIMATED, THE ASSET VALUES MAY CHANGE.
PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP, THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR CIT, HAS NOT EXAMINED, COMPILED OR OTHERWISE
APPLIED PROCEDURES TO THESE VALUES AND, CONSEQUENTLY, DOES NOT
EXPRESS AN OPINION OR ANY OTHER FORM OF ASSURANCE WITH
RESPECT TO THE VALUES IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS.
The Debtor believes that the value of any distributions from the
liquidation proceeds to each class of Allowed Claims in a
Chapter 7 liquidation may not occur for a substantial
period of time. In this regard, it is possible that distribution
of the proceeds of the liquidation could be delayed for a year
or more after the completion of such liquidation in order to
resolve the Claims and prepare for distributions. In the event
litigation were necessary to resolve Claims asserted in the
Chapter 7 case, the delay could be further prolonged and
administrative expenses further increased. The effects of this
delay on the value of distributions under the hypothetical
liquidation have not been considered.

Acceptance
by Impaired Classes

Impaired Class 6, Impaired Class 7, Impaired
Class 8, Impaired Class 9, Impaired Class 10,
Impaired Class 11, Impaired Class 12 and Impaired
Class 13 shall have accepted the Plan if (i) the
holders of at least two-thirds in amount of the Allowed Claims
actually voting in such classes have voted to accept the Plan
and (ii) the holders of more than one-half in number of the
Allowed Claims actually voting in such classes have voted to
accept the Plan, in each case not counting the vote of any
holder designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy
Code.
The Debtors will request confirmation of the Plan, as it may be
modified from time to time, under section 1129(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right to modify the
Plan to the extent, if any, that confirmation pursuant to
section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires
modification.

Confirmation Hearing, shall be deemed to have been deleted from

Non-Confirmation
Of Plan For Delaware Funding
|
In the event that Class 7 Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claims do not vote to accept the Plan, the Debtors shall seek to
confirm the Plan only with respect to CIT Group Inc. Upon such
non-confirmation of the Plan solely with respect to Delaware
Funding, all references herein to the Debtors and
the Reorganized Debtors shall refer only to CIT
Group Inc. and Reorganized CIT.
Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, each of the holders of Claims
and Interests in Classes 1 through 18 will receive the
treatment described below.
This Plan has been amended to provide holders of Junior
Subordinated Note Claims with a potential greater distribution
of New Common Interests. As previously disclosed in the Offering
Memorandum and Disclosure Statement and the First Amended Plan,
the Debtors anticipated modifying the treatment of holders of
Class 13 Junior Subordinated Note Claims to provide an
increased percentage of 1.5% of New Common Interests, and this
Plan has accordingly been so modified. The increased percentage
of New Common Interests distributable to holders of Junior
Subordinated Note Claims to 1.5% in the event that Class 12
and Class 13 accept the Plan shall have a de
minimis effect on the percentage of New Common Interests
distributable to other holders of Claims under this Plan, which
percentages will be ratably reduced. This possibility was
previously described in the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure
Statement dated October 16, 2009. The Debtors do not
believe that such increased percentage of New Common Interests
distributable to holders of Junior Subordinated Note Claims
requires resolicitation of the Offering Memorandum and
Disclosure Statement
and/or the
Plan of Reorganization under applicable securities laws
and/or the
Bankruptcy Code, and the Debtors have not extended the Voting
Deadline on this basis. If the Bankruptcy Court determines,
however, that the increased percentage of New Common Interests
distributable to holders of Junior Subordinated Note Claims, and
the resulting change in percentages of New Common Interests
distributable to other Classes, is a material change requiring
resolicitation of the Plan of Reorganization, holders of Claims
(including Junior Subordinated Note Claims) shall receive only
those percentages of New Common Interests specified in the First
Amended Plan.
Please note that the estimated recoveries for Class 7, 8,
9, 10 and 11 do not necessarily reflect the market value of the
Series A and Series B Notes.

Funding as well as its directors and officers in which such
holders are participants, (ii) shall forbear from
participating, directly or indirectly, in any action brought by
noteholders or debtholders against CIT Group Inc., Delaware
Funding or their directors and officers and (iii) shall
turnover any proceeds received by such holders as a result of or

Delaware Funding or their directors and officers based on the
causes of action asserted in the Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Litigation. Holders of Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims
shall have until the Extended Canadian Senior Unsecured Note

provided however that those certain holders of
Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims that have entered into the
agreement in principle with the Debtors to support the Plan
shall vote on or before the Voting Deadline.

such holders Allowed Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claim
(which Allowed Claim constitutes principal plus accrued but
unpaid prepetition interest), each (i) and (ii) on
account of the Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes Guarantee Claim
against CIT Group Inc., as set forth more fully in
Article IV.A herein.
(C) If Class 7 Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims
does not vote to accept the Plan and the Plan is nonetheless
confirmed, the holders of Allowed Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claims shall retain their Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes and
Allowed Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims against Delaware
Funding, provided, however, that:
(i) such holders may not, in the aggregate, recover more
than the Allowed amount of their Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claim on account of the combined claims against CIT Group Inc.
and Delaware Funding; and
(ii) the Debtors reserve the right to, among other things,
(w) not amend the Senior Credit Facility to remove Delaware
Funding as a guarantor of the Senior Credit Facility,
(x) estimate such holders claims against Delaware
Funding after receiving the distribution of Series A Notes
and New Common Interests, (y) extend the maturity of those
certain Intercompany Notes in accordance with the terms thereof

ARTICLE IV
MEANS FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

A.
|
Allocation
To Holders Of Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims
|
If Class 7 Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims vote to
accept the Plan, on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after,
the Effective Date and without the need for any action by the
holder of a Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claim or the
Reorganized Debtors, each holder of a Canadian Senior Unsecured
Note Claim shall transfer and assign to the Reorganized Debtors
all of such holders rights and obligations under the
Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes, free and clear of any liens,
claims, charges, security interests or other legal
B-22
or equitable encumbrances, limitations or restrictions
(collectively, Liens), and any promissory
notes or other evidence of indebtedness payable to each such
holder of a Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claim under any
Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes shall thereafter be held of
record by the Reorganized Debtors. In exchange for such transfer
and assignment of the Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes held by
each holder of a Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claim (the
Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Exchange), on
account of the approximately $2,188 million Allowed
Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims, on, or as soon as
reasonably practicable after, the Effective Date, each holder of
an Allowed Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claim shall receive
its pro rata share of Series B Notes, equal
to a distribution in the amount of 100% of such holders
Allowed Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claim (which Allowed
Claim constitutes principal plus accrued but unpaid prepetition
interest), in full settlement and satisfaction of any Claims
held by such holder of an Allowed Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claim. Following the Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Exchange,
all Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes transferred and assigned to
the Reorganized Debtors shall no longer be outstanding and shall
automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist. The
Intercompany Notes shall be modified to extend the maturity
dates thereunder to correspond with the maturity dates of the
Series B Notes and shall not be further modified other than
as required to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the
Plan without the consent of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the holders of the Series B Notes then
outstanding, provided however that without such
consent, the Intercompany Notes may be amended in a manner that
does not adversely affect the holders of Series B Notes,
and the CIT Leasing Support Agreements shall remain in place and
in effect through such extended maturity dates of the
Intercompany Notes. As of the Effective Date, the CIT Leasing
Support Agreements shall be secured by a security interest
granted by C.I.T. Leasing Corporation in favor of Delaware
Funding, and any modifications to the CIT Leasing Support
Agreements shall be filed as a Plan Supplement. Delaware
Fundings security interest will be on substantially the
same collateral securing the Series A Notes;
provided however that the CIT Leasing Support
Agreements shall not further be modified without the consent of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the holders of the
Series B Notes then outstanding; provided
further however that without such consent the CIT
Leasing Support Agreements may be amended in a manner that does
not adversely effect the holders of the Series B Notes.
Pursuant to the intercreditor arrangements between the
collateral agent under the Series A Notes, the collateral
agent under the Series B Notes and Delaware Funding,
Delaware Funding will agree not to exercise any remedies with
respect to such security interest without the consent of the
collateral agent under the Series B Notes. The Debtors
shall file the amended Intercompany Notes and any security
agreement evidencing the securitization of C.I.T. Leasing
Corporations obligations under the CIT Leasing Support
Agreements as Plan Supplements. On and after the Effective Date,
those holders of Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims voting to
accept the Plan (i) shall be deemed to withdraw the
Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Litigation and any other
action(s) pending against Delaware Funding as well as its
directors and officers in which such holders are participants,
(ii) shall forbear from participating, directly or
indirectly, in any action brought by noteholders or debtholders
against CIT Group Inc., Delaware Funding or their directors and
officers and (iii) shall turnover any proceeds received by
such holders as a result of or arising from any subsequent
litigation against CIT Group Inc., Delaware Funding or their
directors and officers based on the causes of action asserted in
the Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Litigation. Holders of
Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims shall have until the
Extended Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims Voting Deadline
to vote to accept or reject the Plan; provided
however that those certain holders of Canadian Senior
Unsecured Note Claims that have entered into the agreement in
principle with the Debtors to support the Plan shall vote on or
before the Voting Deadline.
If Class 7 Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims does not
vote to accept the Plan and the Plan is nonetheless confirmed,
on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the Effective
Date, each holder of an Allowed Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claim shall receive its pro rata share of
(a) Series A Notes, equal to a distribution in the
amount of 70% of such holders Allowed Canadian Senior
Unsecured Note Claim (which Allowed Claim constitutes principal
plus accrued but unpaid prepetition interest) and (b)
(i) 6.16% of New Common Interests if Class 12 and
Class 13 vote to accept the Plan, (ii) 6.26% of New
Common Interests if Class 12 votes to accept the Plan and
Class 13 does not vote to accept the Plan, (iii) 6.77%
of New Common Interests if Class 12 does not vote to accept
the Plan and if Class 13 votes to accept the Plan, and
(iv) 6.77% of New Common Interests if neither Class 12
nor Class 13 vote to accept the Plan, allocated to
B-23
30% of such holders Allowed Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Claim (which Allowed Claim constitutes principal plus accrued
but unpaid prepetition interest), each (a) and (b) on
account of the Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes Guarantee Claim
against CIT Group Inc.
If Class 7 Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims do not
vote to accept the Plan and the Plan is nonetheless confirmed,
the holders of Allowed Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims
shall retain their Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes and Allowed
Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claims against Delaware Funding,
provided, however that: (i) such holders may
not, in the aggregate, recover more than the Allowed amount of
their Canadian Senior Unsecured Note Claim on account of the
combined claims against CIT Group Inc. and Delaware Funding; and
(ii) the Debtors reserve the right to, among other things,
(w) not amend the Senior Credit Facility to remove Delaware
Funding as a guarantor of the Senior Credit Facility,
(x) estimate such holders claims against Delaware
Funding after receiving the distribution of Series A Notes
and New Common Interests, (y) extend the maturity of those
certain Intercompany Notes in accordance with the terms thereof
or (z) merge Delaware Funding into CIT Group Inc. in
accordance with the terms of the Canadian Senior Unsecured Note
Indentures.

Allocation
Of Contingent Value Rights
|
On, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the Effective
Date and substantially contemporaneously with the Exchanges, the
Reorganized Debtors shall allocate non-transferable contingent
value rights (the Contingent Value Rights or
CVRs) to (i) holders of Senior
Subordinated Note Claims (the Senior CVRs)
pro rata based on each such holders share of
the aggregate amount of Senior Subordinated Note Claims,
(ii) holders of Junior Subordinated Note Claims (the
Junior CVRs) pro rata based on
each such holders share of the aggregate amount of Junior
Subordinated Note Claims, and (iii) holders of Old
Preferred Interests (the Preferred Stock
CVRs) pro rata based on each such
holders share of the aggregate combined liquidation
preference of the Old Preferred Interests, including accrued and
unpaid dividends thereon to the Petition Date. The CVRs entitle
holders of such Claims to a distribution under the Plan in the
form of New Common Interests under certain circumstances, as
described in more detail below.
If, on the Measurement Date, the aggregate Fair Market Value of
the
Class 8-11
Securities exceeds the
Class 8-11
Par Recovery Amount (such excess, the
Class 8-11
Excess Value Amount), the Disbursing Agent shall, as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Measurement Date,
distribute or caused to be distributed to holders of CVRs, New
Common Interests in the following order of priority:
FIRST, pro rata to holders of Senior CVRs, an
amount of New Common Interests having an aggregate Fair Market
Value (as adjusted to take into account the dilutive impact of
any distribution required to be made on account of CVRs
hereunder) equal to the lesser of (i) an amount such that,
immediately after such distribution, the
Class 8-11
Excess Value Amount (as adjusted to take into account the
dilutive impact of any distribution required to be made on
account of CVRs hereunder) is reduced to zero and (ii) the
excess of (x) the Class 12 Par Recovery Amount
over (y) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as
adjusted to take into account the dilutive impact of any
distribution required to be made on account of CVRs hereunder)
of the New Common Interests (if any) received by holders of
Senior Subordinated Note Claims in the Senior Subordinated Notes
Exchange;
SECOND, if, following any distribution required to be made on
account of Senior CVRs, the
Class 8-11
Excess Value Amount (as adjusted to take into account the
dilutive impact of any distribution required to be made on
account of CVRs hereunder) is greater than zero, pro
rata to holders of Junior CVRs, an amount of New Common
Interests having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as adjusted to
take into account the dilutive impact of any distribution
required to be made on account of CVRs hereunder) equal to the
lesser of (i) an amount such that, immediately after such
distribution and after giving effect to any distribution on
account of Senior CVRs, the
Class 8-11
Excess Value Amount (as adjusted to take into account the
dilutive impact of any distribution required to be made on
account of CVRs hereunder) is reduced to zero and (ii) the
excess of (A) the Class 13 Par Recovery Amount
over (B) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as
adjusted to take into account the dilutive impact of any
distribution required to be
B-28
made on account of CVRs hereunder) of the New Common Interests
(if any) received by holders of Junior Subordinated Note Claims
in the Junior Subordinated Notes Exchange; and
THIRD, if, following any distribution required to be made on
account of Junior CVRs, the
Class 8-11
Excess Value Amount (as adjusted to take into account the
dilutive impact of any distribution required to be made on
account of CVRs hereunder) is greater than zero, pro
rata to holders of Preferred Stock CVRs, an amount of New
Common Interests having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as
adjusted to take into account the dilutive impact of any
distribution required to be made on account of CVRs hereunder)
equal to the lesser of (i) an amount such that, immediately
after such distribution and after giving effect to any
distribution on account of Senior CVRs and Junior CVRs, the
Class 8-11
Excess Value Amount (as adjusted to take into account the
dilutive impact of any distribution required to be made on
account of CVRs hereunder) is reduced to zero and (ii) the
Class 15 Par Recovery Amount.
There shall be no distribution on account of CVRs if, as of the
Measurement Date, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the
Class 8-11
Securities is less than or equal to the
Class 8-11
Par Recovery Amount.
The CVRs shall terminate and cease to exist on the Measurement
Date unless a distribution is required to be made on account of
the CVRs, in which case the CVRs shall terminate and cease to
exist on the date such distribution is made.
The Disbursing Agent shall determine, in the exercise of its
reasonable good faith discretion after consultation with a
financial advisor, the amount of any distribution of New Common
Interests required to be made on account of CVRs pursuant to
this Article IV.H, including without limitation, the
anticipated impact on Fair Market Value as a result of any
distribution of New Common Interests required to be made
hereunder on account of CVRs. Each such determination by the
Disbursing Agent shall be final and binding.

Status
and Availability of New Common Interests
|
Reorganized CIT shall at all times during which the CVRs remain
outstanding reserve from its authorized capital a sufficient
amount of New Common Interests to provide distributions in full
to holders of CVRs pursuant to this Article IV.H. If, at
any time prior to the time the CVRs terminate and cease to
exist, Reorganized CITs authorized capital shall not be
sufficient to permit distributions in full to holders of CVRs
pursuant to this Article IV.H, Reorganized CIT will
promptly take such corporate action as may be necessary to
increase its authorized capital to such amount as shall be
sufficient for such purposes.
Reorganized CIT shall take all such action as may be necessary
to ensure that all New Common Interests distributed to holders
of CVRs pursuant to this Article IV.H shall, at the time of
distribution of such securities, be duly and validly authorized,
fully paid and non-assessable.

Agreements
of CVR Holders
|
Each holder of CVRs, by receiving a distribution hereunder of
such CVRs, shall automatically be deemed to consent and agree
with the Reorganized Debtors and with each other holder of CVRs
that: (i) the CVRs are subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Plan, including this Article IV.H;
(ii) the CVRs will not be represented by any certificates
and may not be transferred or assigned; (iii) the CVRs do
not bear any stated rate of interest; and (iv) no holder of
CVRs shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed
for any purpose the holder of any securities of the Reorganized
Debtors nor anything contained herein be construed to confer
upon any holder of CVRs any of the rights of a stockholder of
the Reorganized Debtors or any right to vote for the election of
directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any
meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate
action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions
affecting stockholders, or to receive subscription rights, or to
exercise appraisal rights, or otherwise.

Contingent
Nature of CVRs
|
The CVRs represent the right to receive contingent distributions
of value under the Plan in the form of New Common Interests as
provided in this Article IV.H. Distributions on account of
CVRs will be made only to the extent required by this
Article IV.H and, if no such distributions are required to
be made hereunder, the CVRs will terminate and cease to exist
and holders thereof will receive no value on account of the CVRs.
I. Letters
of Credit Under JPM L/C Facility
JPM shall hold all cash collateral on hand as of the Petition
Date until the Effective Date, including any retainers
established for JPM counsel specified in any cash collateral
agreements between CIT Group Inc. and JPM.
JPM and the Debtors shall honor any and all draws under the JPM
L/C Facility in the ordinary course of business and pursuant to
the terms of the JPM L/C Facility Agreement. In the event of any
drawings, such drawings made after the Petition Date but before
the Effective Date, under any letter of credit issued under the
JPM L/C Facility (i) to the extent JPM holds cash
collateral supporting such drawn letter of credit, JPM shall be
authorized to apply such cash collateral to the reimbursement
obligation and the Debtors and JPM shall stipulate, and the
Debtors shall seek Bankruptcy Court approval of any such
stipulation, to lift the automatic stay to allow JPM to so apply
such cash collateral and (ii) to the extent no cash
collateral supports such drawn letter of credit, CIT Group Inc.
or a subsidiary of CIT Group Inc. in the case of letters of
credit for which a subsidiary of CIT Group Inc. is a
co-applicant or account party shall pay the reimbursement
obligation under such drawn letter of credit in full or cause it
to be paid when due, in accordance with the JPM L/C Facility
Agreement. As part of such stipulation, if approved by the
Bankruptcy Court, JPM shall forbear, as long as the Plan is
consummated by one hundred fifty (150) days from the
Petition Date, and CIT Group Inc. is fulfilling its obligations
under such stipulation, from pursuing any non-Debtor applicant,
account party or other third party for satisfaction of a
reimbursement obligation under any letter of credit issued and
drawn under the JPM L/C Facility; provided that
the forgoing forbearance is entirely contractual and does not
constitute any admission that the automatic stay imposed by
Bankruptcy Code section 362 or any other law requires such
forbearance, and neither the Debtors nor the Reorganized Debtors
nor any of their affiliates shall seek entry of an order during
the Chapter 11 Cases restraining JPM from so pursing any
such person or entity. JPM will not terminate any unexpired
outstanding letters of credit without consent of CIT Group Inc.
and any beneficiary thereunder, provided that the
foregoing shall not prevent JPM from issuing a notice of
non-renewal on any evergreen letter of credit for which such
renewal would cause the next renewal date to extend past the
expiry of the facility on May 14, 2010.
If Class 6 JPM L/C Facility Claims votes to accept the
Plan, on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the
Effective Date, Reorganized CIT or a subsidiary of Reorganized
CIT in the case of letters of credit for which a subsidiary of
Reorganized CIT is a co-applicant or account party shall provide
JPM with the Cash Collateralization. All fees and other charges
arising under or in respect of the JPM L/C Facility Agreement
shall be paid on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after,
the Effective Date by Reorganized CIT. In addition to the
release provided in Article XIII.H.1 of the Plan and in the
Confirmation Order, upon the Effective Date each non-Debtor
subsidiary and affiliate of CIT Group Inc. that was or is a
co-applicant or account party on a letter of credit issued under
the JPM L/C Facility and JPM
and/or any
other lender(s) under the JPM L/C Facility shall execute a
mutual release and waiver of any and all claims against JPM
and/or any
other lenders under the JPM L/C Facility in respect of the JPM
L/C Facility
and/or the
JPM L/C Facility Agreement arising prior to the Effective Date.
If Class 6 JPM L/C Facility Claims does not vote to accept
the Plan and the Plan is nonetheless confirmed,
(i) Reorganized CIT or a subsidiary of Reorganized CIT in
the case of letters of credit for which a subsidiary of
Reorganized CIT is a co-applicant or account party shall satisfy
any Claims for reimbursement under the JPM L/C Facility that
arose during the Chapter 11 Cases in full on, or as soon as
reasonably practicable after, the Effective Date and
(ii) following the Effective Date, Reorganized CIT or a
subsidiary of Reorganized CIT in the case of letters of credit
for which a subsidiary of Reorganized CIT is a co-applicant or
account party shall pay all such Claims for reimbursement under
the JPM L/C Facility in the ordinary course
B-30
of business and upon the terms set forth in the JPM L/C Facility
Agreement. In exchange for Reorganized CIT maintaining the
reimbursement obligations in the immediately preceding
(i) and (ii), JPM shall not pursue any subsidiary or
affiliate of CIT Group Inc. or any other entity that JPM
contends may be co-liable with CIT Group Inc. under the JPM L/C
Facility Agreement for any remedies, claims or causes of action
arising out of or relating to the JPM L/C Facility or the JPM
L/C Facility Agreement.
JPM shall provide CIT Group Inc. and Reorganized CIT with
updated reports in accordance with existing procedures of the
amount of letters of credit outstanding and drawings, if any,
thereunder and JPMs application of cash collateral against
CIT Group Inc.s
and/or
Reorganized CITs reimbursement obligations. To the extent
that, due to letters of credit expiring undrawn, the amount of
cash collateral held by JPM shall at any time exceed the
amount(s) provided pursuant to the Cash Collateralization, JPM
shall release any such excess cash collateral to CIT Group Inc.
and/or
Reorganized CIT upon written request from CIT Group Inc.
and/or
Reorganized CIT.
No letters of credit shall be issued, renewed, extended or
amended under the JPM L/C Facility after the Petition Date.
J. Exit
Facility
On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall
(a) enter into the Exit Facility together with all
guarantees evidencing obligations of the Reorganized Debtors
thereunder and security documents, (b) execute such
mortgages, certificates and other documentation and deliveries
as the agent under the Exit Facility reasonably requests, and
(c) deliver insurance and customary opinions (collectively,
the documents in (a)-(c), the Exit Facility
Documents), all of which such Exit Facility Documents
shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Exit Facility
Lenders, and such documents and all other documents, instruments
and agreements to be entered into, delivered or contemplated
thereunder shall become effective in accordance with their terms
on the Effective Date. In the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy
Court shall approve the Exit Facility and authorize the
Reorganized Debtors to execute the same together with such other
documents as the Exit Facility Lenders may reasonably require in
order to effectuate the treatment afforded to such parties under
the Exit Facility.

Existence and Vesting of Assets in Reorganized Debtors
The Debtors shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as
separate corporate entities in accordance with the applicable
law for the State of Delaware and pursuant to their certificate
of incorporation and by laws and certificate of formation, or
other governing documents, as amended and restated on the
Effective Date. The Reorganized CIT Certificate of
Incorporation, the Reorganized Delaware Funding Amendment to
Certificate of Formation and the Reorganized Delaware Funding

Among other things, the Debtors existing certificates of
incorporation or other governing documents, as applicable, shall
be amended to include a provision prohibiting the issuance of
nonvoting equity securities as required under
section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.
On and after the Effective Date, all property of the Estate, and
all Litigation Claims, and any property acquired by the Debtors
under or in connection with the Plan, shall vest in the
Reorganized Debtors free and clear of all Claims, Interests and
Liens except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan. On and
after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may operate
their businesses and may use, acquire and dispose of property
and compromise or settle any Claims without supervision of or
approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free and clear of any
restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules other
than restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan or the
Confirmation Order. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Reorganized Debtors may pay charges that they incur on and after
the Effective Date for professionals fees, disbursements,
expenses or related support services without application to the
Bankruptcy Court.

Interests in the Debtors that are Reinstated under this Plan, to
the extent not already cancelled, shall be deemed cancelled,
terminated and of no further force or effect without any further
action on the part of the Bankruptcy Court or any Person;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the entry
of the Confirmation Order or the occurrence of the Effective
Date, the Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes, the Long-Dated Senior
Unsecured Notes, the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Senior
Unsecured Term Loans, the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreements,
the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Junior Subordinated Notes
shall be deemed to continue in effect solely to the extent

Unsecured Notes, Senior Unsecured Term Loans, Senior Unsecured
Credit Agreements, Senior Subordinated Notes
and/or
Junior Subordinated Notes to receive distributions, if any,

the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Senior Unsecured Term Loans, the
Senior Unsecured Credit Agreements, the Senior Subordinated
Notes, the Junior Subordinated Notes, the Old Preferred
Interests, the Old Common Interests, and the Other Equity
Interests shall be discharged.
M. Board
of Directors
CIT Group Inc.s Board of Directors (the
Board) (which as of the date of this Plan has
ten (10) members) has determined that the appropriate size
of the Board on and after the Effective Date would be thirteen
(13) directors. At the request of and in cooperation with
the Steering Committee, CIT Group Inc. has engaged Spencer
Stuart, an internationally recognized director search firm, to
assist the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the
N&GC) in identifying, interviewing and
selecting candidates for the expanded Board
and/or
replacing members of the present Board who may determine to step
down. Spencer Stuart will identify candidates who are
independent of CIT Group Inc., not affiliated with, or
representatives of, any of the members of the Steering
Committee, and who possess the qualifications, skills and
experience specified by the N&GC.
The Steering Committee will recommend to the N&GC
candidates for the Board from among the qualified individuals
identified by Spencer Stuart (the Steering Committee
Nominees). The candidates that are approved by the
N&GC will be reviewed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York (the Federal Reserve) and, to the extent
approved by the Federal Reserve, will be submitted to the full
Board for consideration and appointment to the Board. Following
the Effective Date, the Board will include five directors that
were recommended to the N&GC by the Steering Committee. The
Board will nominate a slate of at least 13 directors for
election at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders, which slate
will not include more than five of the directors serving as of
the date hereof.
N. Certain
Corporate Governance Matters
On and after the Effective Date, Reorganized CIT will use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to hold its next annual
meeting no later than May 31, 2010. CIT Group Inc. does not
have a staggered or classified board and, accordingly, all
directors of Reorganized CIT will be elected at the annual
meeting. During the Chapter 11 Cases, CIT Group Inc. will
not implement a stockholders rights plan other than
(i) CIT Group Inc.s August 12, 2009 tax benefits
preservation plan or (ii) other actions CIT Group Inc.
considers appropriate to preserve the benefit of net operating
losses. CIT Group Inc. will not amend its certificate of
incorporation during the Chapter 11 Cases to create a
staggered or classified board. The Reorganized CIT Certificate
of Incorporation will provide that the chairman of the board or
secretary of Reorganized CIT shall call a special meeting of its
stockholders at the request in writing of stockholders
possessing at least 25% of
B-32
the voting power of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Reorganized CIT entitled to vote generally for the election of
directors.
O. Preservation
of Rights of Action; Settlement of Litigation Claims
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order
or in any document, instrument, release or other agreement
entered into in connection with the Plan, in accordance with
section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized
Debtors will retain all of the Litigation Claims, and may
enforce, sue on, settle or compromise (or decline to do any of
the foregoing) any or all of such Litigation Claims. The Debtors
will file as a Plan Supplement a non-exclusive list of claims or
causes of action that the Debtors hold or may hold either in
pending or potential litigation. The Debtors reserve their
rights to modify such list to add or delete parties or causes of
action, but disclaims any obligation to do so. The failure of
the Debtors to specifically list any claim, right of action,
suit or proceeding herein or in the Plan does not, and will not
be deemed to, constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors of
such claim, right of action, suit or proceeding, and the
Reorganized Debtors will retain the right to pursue additional
claims, rights of action, suits or proceedings. In addition, at
any time after the Petition Date and before the Effective Date,
notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the
Debtors may settle some or all of the Litigation Claims with the
approval of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 9019.
P. Effectuating
Documents; Further Transactions
The chairman of the board of directors, president, chief
executive officer, chief financial officer or any other
appropriate officer of the Debtors shall be authorized to
execute, deliver, file or record such contracts, instruments,
releases, indentures and other agreements or documents, and take
such actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan. The
secretary or assistant secretary of the Debtors shall be
authorized to certify or attest to any of the foregoing actions.
Q. Exemption
from Certain Transfer Taxes
Pursuant to section 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
issuance, transfer or exchange of debt and equity under the
Plan, the creation of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other
security interest, the making or assignment of any contract,
lease or sublease, or the making or delivery of any deed or
other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in
connection with the Plan shall be exempt from all taxes
(including, without limitation, stamp tax or similar taxes) to
the fullest extent permitted by section 1146 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and the appropriate state or local governmental
officials or agents shall not collect any such tax or
governmental assessment and shall accept for filing and
recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents
without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.
R. Release
of Liens
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in the
Confirmation Order or in any document, instrument or other
agreement created in connection with the Plan, on the Effective
Date, all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens or, other security
interests against the property of the Debtors or the Estate
automatically shall be released, and the holders of such
mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, or other security interests
shall execute such documents as may be necessary or desirable to
reflect or effectuate such releases.

Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the
Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of or in
exchange for Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the Effective
Date shall be made on the Distribution Date. All Cash
distributions shall be made from available Cash of the
Reorganized Debtors. Any
B-33
distribution under the Plan of property other than Cash shall be
made by the Disbursing Agent in accordance with the terms of the
Plan.
B. Disbursing
Agent(s)
The Disbursing Agent(s) shall make all distributions required
under the Plan (subject to the provisions of
Articles II, III and IV hereof); provided,
however, that with respect to a holder of a Claim whose
distribution is governed by an agent or other agreement which is
administered by an indenture trustee, agent or servicer, such
distributions shall be made at the direction of the appropriate
agent or servicer, or shall be deposited with the appropriate
agent or servicer, who shall then deliver such distributions to
the holders of Claims in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan and the terms of the relevant indenture or other governing
agreement.
Disbursing Agent(s) other than the Debtors, including any agent
or servicer, shall receive, without further Bankruptcy Court
approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services
rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services
from the Reorganized Debtors on terms acceptable to the
Reorganized Debtors. No Disbursing Agent shall be required to
give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of
its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. If
otherwise so ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any
such bond shall be paid by the Reorganized Debtors.
C. Calculation
of Distribution Amounts of New Common Interests and New
Notes
No fractional shares of New Common Interests or fractional
currencies of New Notes shall be issued or distributed under the
Plan or by the Reorganized Debtors, or any Disbursing Agent,
agent or servicer. Each Person entitled to receive New Common
Interests or New Notes (collectively, the New
Securities) shall receive the total number of whole
shares or currencies of New Securities to which such Person is
entitled. Whenever any distribution to a particular Person would
otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of a New Security,
the Reorganized Debtors, or any Disbursing Agent, agent or
servicer, shall allocate separately one whole share of New
Common Interests or one whole currency of New Notes, as
applicable, to such Person in order of the fractional portion of
its entitlements, starting with the largest such fractional
portion, until all remaining whole shares of New Common
Interests or whole currencies of New Notes have been allocated.
Upon the allocation of a whole share of New Common Interests or
whole currency of New Notes to a Person in respect of the
fractional portion of its entitlement, such fractional portion
shall be deemed cancelled. If two or more Persons are entitled
to equal fractional entitlements and the number of Persons so
entitled exceeds the number of whole shares of New Common
Interests or currencies of New Notes which remain to be
allocated, the Reorganized Debtors, or any Disbursing Agent,
agent or servicer shall allocate the remaining whole shares of
New Common Interests or whole currency of New Notes to such
holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the
Reorganized Debtors, or any Disbursing Agent, agent or servicer
deems fair. Upon the allocation of all of the whole shares of
New Common Interests or currencies of New Notes authorized under
the Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements,
if any, shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and
effect. No shares of New Common Interests or currencies of New
Notes will be issued and no other property will be distributed
under the Plan or by the Reorganized Debtors, or any Disbursing
Agent, agent or servicer on account of entitlements, if any, to
a fractional share of New Common Interests or fraction of a
currency of New Notes which fall below a threshold level to be
determined by the Reorganized Debtors, or any Disbursing Agent,
agent or servicer, after allocation of whole shares of New
Common Interests or whole currencies of New Notes in respect of
fractional entitlements as described above. Accordingly, a
Person who otherwise would be entitled to receive a distribution
of a fractional share of New Common Interests or fraction of a
currency of New Notes will not receive any such distribution if
the fractional share of New Common Interests or fractional
currency of New Notes such Person was to receive falls below
such threshold.
D. Delivery
of Distributions; Undeliverable or Unclaimed
Distributions
Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the
Disbursing Agent (i) at each holders address set
forth in the Debtors books and records, unless such
address is superseded by a proof of claim or
B-34
interest or transfer of claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 3001 or (ii) at the address in any written notice
of address change delivered to the Disbursing Agent, at the
address set forth in the Disbursing Agents system. If any
holders distribution is returned as undeliverable, no
further distributions to such holder shall be made, unless and
until the Disbursing Agent is notified of such holders
then current address, at which time all missed distributions
shall be made to such holder without interest. Amounts in
respect of undeliverable distributions made through the
Disbursing Agent shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors
until such distributions are claimed. The Disbursing Agent shall
deliver any non-deliverable New Common Interests
and/or New
Notes to the Reorganized Debtors no later than ten
(10) Business Days following the first anniversary of the
Effective Date. All claims for undeliverable distributions must
be made within one year after the Effective Date, after which
date the claim of any holder or successor to such holder with
respect to such property will be discharged and forever barred.
In such cases, any Cash for distribution on account of or in
exchange for unclaimed or undeliverable distributions shall
become property of the Reorganized Debtors free of any
restrictions thereon and notwithstanding any federal or state
escheat laws to the contrary. Any New Common Interests or New
Notes held for distribution on account of such Claim shall be
cancelled and of no further force or effect. Nothing contained
in the Plan shall require any Disbursing Agent, including, but
not limited to the Reorganized Debtors, to attempt to locate any
holder of an Allowed Claim.
E. Withholding
and Reporting Requirements
In connection with the Plan and all distributions thereunder,
the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall comply
with all withholding, payment, and reporting requirements
imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing
authority, and all distributions shall be subject to any such
withholding, payment, and reporting requirements. The
Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall be authorized
to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate
to comply with such withholding, payment, and reporting
requirements. All amounts properly withheld from distributions
of New Common Interests, New Notes, Contingent Value Rights, or
New Common Interests distributed pursuant to the Contingent
Value Rights, to a holder as required by applicable law and paid
over to the applicable taxing authority for the account of such
holder shall be treated as part of the distributions to such
holder. All persons holding Claims or Interests shall be
required to provide any information necessary to effect
information reporting, withholding, and payment of such taxes.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (i) each
holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution of
New Common Interests, New Notes or Contingent Value Rights
pursuant to the Plan, or a distribution of New Common Interests
pursuant to the Contingent Value Rights, shall have sole and
exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any
tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including
income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of
such distribution, and (ii) no distribution shall be made
to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and
until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the
Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent for the payment and
satisfaction of such tax obligations or has, to the Reorganized
Debtors and the Disbursing Agents satisfaction,
established an exemption therefrom. Any New Common Interests,
New Notes or Contingent Value Rights to be distributed pursuant
to the Plan, or New Common Interests distributed pursuant to the
Contingent Value Rights, shall, pending the implementation of
such arrangements or the establishment of such an exemption, be
treated as undeliverable pursuant to Article V.D of the
Plan.
|
|
F.
|
Allocation
of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest
|
To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution
under the Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, such distribution shall, for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated to the
principal amount of the Claim first and then, to the extent that
the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to
the portion of such Claim representing accrued but unpaid
interest.
Except as provided in the Plan, the Debtors may, but shall not
be required to, set off or offset against any Claim, and the
payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan
in respect of such Claim,
B-35
claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors may have
against the Claims holder; provided,
however, that neither the failure to do so nor the
allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or
release by the Debtors of any claim that the Debtors may have
against such holder; provided, further,
however, that the Debtors shall not set off or offset
against the Senior Credit Facility, the Canadian Senior
Unsecured Notes, the Long-Dated Senior Unsecured Notes, the
Senior Unsecured Notes, the Senior Unsecured Term Loans, the
Senior Unsecured Credit Agreements, the Senior Subordinated
Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to expand rights to setoff under applicable law.

applicable broker or agent shall use reasonable best efforts to

Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such instrument.
ARTICLE VI
PROCEDURES
FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED,
CONTINGENT AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS
|
|
A.
|
Resolution
of Disputed Claims
|
Except as provided otherwise in the Plan or by order of the
Bankruptcy Court, holders of Claims shall not be required to
file proofs of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court. The amount and
validity of any disputed, contingent
and/or
unliquidated Claim shall be determined, resolved or adjudicated,
as the case may be, in the manner in which such Claim would have
been determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11
Cases had not been commenced; provided, however,
that the Debtors reserve the right to file with the Bankruptcy
Court, on or before the Claims Objection Deadline, an objection
to any Claim. The Debtors shall be authorized to, and shall,
resolve all Disputed Claims by withdrawing or settling such
objections thereto, or by litigating to judgment in the
Bankruptcy Court or such other court having jurisdiction the
validity, nature,
and/or
amount thereof.
Any Claim successfully subordinated pursuant to Bankruptcy Code
section 510(b) that is not otherwise included in
Class 14 Subordinated 510(b) Claims shall be classified in
that Class immediately below the Class in which such Claim was
classified prior to subordination under Bankruptcy Code
section 510(b).
In addition, the Debtors or the holder of a contingent or
unliquidated Claim may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy
Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to
section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether
the Debtors have previously objected to such Claim or whether
the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the
Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim
at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any
Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to
any such objection. In the event the Bankruptcy Court estimates
any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount will
constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum
limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court.
If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such
Claim, the Debtors may elect to pursue any supplemental
proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on such Claim. All
of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and
resolution procedures are cumulative and are not necessarily
exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and thereafter
resolved by any permitted mechanism.
|
|
B.
|
No
Distribution Pending Allowance
|
No payments or distributions, if any contemplated by the Plan,
will be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed
Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim
have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final
Order, and the Disputed Claim, or some portion thereof, has
become an Allowed Claim.
|
|
C.
|
Distributions
After Allowance
|
To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an
Allowed Claim, a distribution, if any, will be made to the
holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date
that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court or other
applicable court of competent jurisdiction allowing any Disputed
Claim becomes a Final Order, or the date upon which other final
resolution has been reached to Allow such Claim, the Disbursing
Agent shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution
to which such holder is entitled under the Plan. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Disbursing Agent shall not be required to
make distributions more frequently than once every ninety
(90) days.
B-37
|
|
D.
|
Reservation
of Right to Object to Allowance or Asserted Priority of
Claims
|
Nothing herein will waive, prejudice or otherwise affect the
rights of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the holders of
any Claim to object at any time, including after the Effective
Date, to the allowance or asserted priority of any Claim.
ARTICLE VII
TREATMENT
OF CONTRACTS AND LEASES
|
|
A.
|
Assumed
Contracts and Leases
|
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any
contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or
document entered into in connection with the Plan, as of the
Effective Date the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed each
executory contract and unexpired lease to which a Debtor is a
party unless such contract or lease (i) previously was
assumed or rejected by the Debtors, (ii) previously expired
or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) is the
subject of a motion to assume or reject filed on or before the
Confirmation Date. The Debtors shall further be deemed to assume
as of the Effective Date all indemnification obligations,
whether arising by bylaws, other constituent documents or
otherwise, to the Debtors directors and officers and all
such indemnification obligations shall constitute assumed
executory contracts. The Debtors reserve the right, at any time
prior to the Confirmation Date, to seek to reject any executory
contract or unexpired lease to which a Debtor is a party (except
as provided in the preceding sentence). The Confirmation Order
shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under
sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code approving the
contract and lease assumptions described above as of the
Effective Date.
Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed and
relates to the use, ability to acquire or occupancy of real
property shall include (i) all modifications, amendments,
supplements, restatements or other agreements made directly or
indirectly by any agreement, instrument or other document that
in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease
and (ii) all executory contracts or unexpired leases
appurtenant to the premises, including all easements, licenses,
permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of
first refusal, powers, uses, usufructs, reciprocal easement
agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises,
and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related
to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has
been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court or is
the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the
Confirmation Date.
|
|
B.
|
Treatment
of Change of Control Provisions
|
The entry of the Confirmation Order, consummation of the Plan,
issuance of the New Common Interests
and/or New
Notes under the Plan
and/or any
other acts taken to implement the Plan shall not constitute a
change in control under any provision of any
contract, agreement or other document which provides for the
occurrence of any event, the granting of any right, or any other
change in the then-existing relationship between the parties
upon a change in control of the Debtors.
|
|
C.
|
Payments
Related to Assumption of Contracts and Leases
|
Any monetary amounts by which any executory contract or
unexpired lease to be assumed under the Plan is in default shall
be satisfied, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy
Code, by Cure. If there is a dispute regarding (i) the
nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of the
Reorganized Debtors to provide adequate assurance of
future performance (within the meaning of section 365
of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be
assumed or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption,
Cure shall occur following the entry of a Final Order of the
Bankruptcy Court resolving the dispute and approving the
assumption.
B-38
|
|
D.
|
Claims
Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired
Leases
|
If the rejection by the Debtors, pursuant to the Plan or
otherwise, of an executory contract or unexpired lease gives
rise to a Claim, a proof of Claim must be served upon the
Debtors and their counsel within thirty (30) days after the
later of (i) notice of entry of the Confirmation Order or
(ii) other notice that the executory contract or unexpired
lease has been rejected, provided that any such Claims
arising from the rejection of an unexpired lease of real
property shall be subject to the cap on rejection damages
imposed by Bankruptcy Code section 502(b)(6). Any Claims
not served within such time periods will be forever barred from
assertion against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the
Estates and their property.
|
|
E.
|
Claims
Based on Rejection of Employment Agreements
|
In the event that the Debtors determine to reject any employment
agreements to which the Debtors are party, any rejection damages
claims arising therefrom will be classified as Class 5
General Unsecured Claims and will likewise be Unimpaired,
provided that the Debtors
and/or the
Reorganized Debtors pay such non- debtor party or parties to
such rejected employment agreement(s) the one-years
compensation under Bankruptcy Code section 502(b)(7) on
account of any rejection damages claim(s).
|
|
F.
|
Compensation
and Benefit Plans and Treatment of Retirement Plan
|
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any
contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or
document entered into in connection with the Plan and subject to
any limitations under applicable law, all of the Debtors
programs, plans, agreements and arrangements relating to
employee compensation and benefits, including programs, plans,
agreements and arrangements subject to sections 1114 and
1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code and including, without
limitation, all savings plans, retirement plans, healthcare
plans, disability plans, severance plans, incentive plans, life,
accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans, and
employment, severance, salary continuation and retention
agreements entered into before the Petition Date and not since
terminated, will be deemed to be, and will be treated as though
they are, executory contracts that are assumed under
Article VII.A of the Plan, and the Debtors
obligations under such programs, plans, agreements and
arrangements will survive confirmation of the Plan, except for
executory contracts or plans that previously have been rejected,
are the subject of a motion to reject or have been specifically
waived by the beneficiaries of any plans or contracts. In
addition, pursuant to the requirements of
section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan
provides for the continuation of payment by the Debtors of all
retiree benefits, as defined in section 1114(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code, if any, at previously established levels.
|
|
G.
|
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
|
The Debtors indemnification obligations in favor of their
officers and directors contained in the certificates of
incorporation and bylaws of the Debtors as of the Petition Date
shall be included in the amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, amended and restated certificate of formation and
bylaws of the Reorganized Debtors. Unless otherwise required by
applicable law, all Claims of the Debtors officers and
directors for indemnity arising prior to the Petition Date
(including the D&O Claims) shall be deemed to be
Class 5 General Unsecured Claims hereunder, and all Claims
of the Debtors officers and directors for indemnity
arising on and after the Petition Date shall be deemed to be
Administrative Claims hereunder.

Effective Date may be asserted by the Debtors or the Steering
Committee regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the
failure of such condition to be satisfied. The failure of the
Debtors or the Steering Committee to exercise any of the
foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any other
rights, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right
that may be asserted at any time.
ARTICLE XI
MODIFICATIONS
AND AMENDMENTS
The Debtors may alter, amend or modify the Plan or any exhibits
or schedules hereto under section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, with the
consent of the Steering Committee which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Debtors
reserve the right to include any amended exhibits or schedules
in the Plan Supplement. After the Confirmation Date and prior to
substantial consummation of the Plan, as defined in
section 1101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may,
under section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, institute
proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or
omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the
Disclosure Statement or the Confirmation Order, and to
accomplish such matters as may be necessary to carry out the
purposes and effects of the Plan so long as such proceedings do
not materially adversely affect the treatment of holders of
Claims under the Plan; provided, however, that prior notice of
such proceedings shall be served in accordance with the
Bankruptcy Rules or order of the Bankruptcy Court.
ARTICLE XII

Confirmation

The Plan constitutes a separate plan of reorganization for each

Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the
Debtors, shall have the power to alter and interpret such term
or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum
extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the
term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and
such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or
interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or
interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the
Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way
be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration
or interpretation.

Fundings Estate, the claims and causes of action
asserted in the Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes Litigation, in
any way relating to the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the
Chapter 11 Cases, the Offering Memorandum, the Plan or the
Disclosure Statement, and that could have been asserted by or on
behalf of the Debtors, their Estates or the Reorganized Debtors,

the Debtors subsidiaries members, members of boards
of managers, directors and officers (acting in such capacity or

fraud, in each case as determined by a final order of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

|
Releases
by Holders of Claims and Interests
|
As of the Effective Date, for good and valuable
consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, each
holder of a Claim that affirmatively votes in favor of the Plan
shall have agreed, solely in its capacity as the holder of such
Claim, to forever release, waive and discharge all claims,
defenses, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands,
debts, rights, causes of action and liabilities (other than

asserted in the Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes Litigation
against any and all present or future defendants named in the
Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes Litigation, whether liquidated
or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured,
known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or
thereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that are based
in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or
other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date
in any way relating to the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the
Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors prepetition
restructuring efforts, the Offering Memorandum, the Plan, the
Disclosure Statement, or the JPM L/C Facility or the JPM L/C
Facility Agreement, against: (i) the Debtors and the
Reorganized Debtors and their respective subsidiaries;
(ii) the Debtors and their subsidiaries
members, members of boards of managers, directors and employees,
advisors, attorneys, agents or representatives, officers (acting
in such capacity or as the Debtors agents or employees) in
each case to the extent acting in any such capacity since
May 8, 2009, or any of their successors or assigns (in each
case acting in such capacity); and (iii) the Steering
Committee (in such capacity) and its current members, members of
boards of managers, directors and officers, employees, advisors,
attorneys, agents or representatives (acting in such capacity or
as the Steering Committees agents or employees), or any of
its successors or assigns (in each case acting in such
capacity), each as of the Effective Date, provided that
nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to operate as a waiver
or release from any causes of action based on willful
misconduct, gross negligence or intentional fraud, in each case
as determined by a final order of a court of competent
jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall
release any non-Debtor party from any contractual
obligations.
Except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of
the Confirmation Date, subject to the occurrence of the
Effective Date, all Persons that have held, currently hold or
may hold a Claim or other debt or liability that is discharged
or an Interest or other right of an equity security holder that

enjoined from taking any of the following actions against the

Claims, debts or liabilities or terminated Interests or rights:

each case in any manner, in any place that does not comply with
or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.
By accepting distribution pursuant to the Plan, each holder of
an Allowed Claim receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan
shall be deemed to have specifically consented to the
injunctions set forth in this Article XIII.I.

J.

Exculpation
and Limitation of Liability
|
The Reorganized Debtors, the Debtors, the Estate, their
subsidiaries, any Committee, the Steering Committee and any and
all of their respective current or former members, officers,
directors, members of boards of managers, employees, equity
holders, partners, affiliates, advisors, attorneys, agents or
representatives, or any of their successors or assigns, shall
not have or incur any liability to any holder of a Claim or an
Interest, or any other party in interest, or any of their
respective members, officers, directors, managers, employees,

assigns, for any act or omission in connection with, relating to
or arising out of, the administration of the Chapter 11
Cases, the negotiation of the terms of the Plan, the
solicitation of acceptances of the Plan, the pursuit of

none of their respective members, officers, directors, managers,
employees, equity holders, partners, affiliates, subsidiaries,
advisors, attorneys, agents or representatives, and no
successors or assigns of the foregoing, shall have any right of

Estates, their subsidiaries, any Committee, the Steering
Committee or any of their respective current or former members,
officers, directors, managers, employees, equity holders,
partners, affiliates, subsidiaries, advisors, attorneys, agents
or representatives, or any of their successors or assigns, for
any act or omission in connection with, relating to or arising
out of, the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the
solicitation of acceptances of the Plan, the pursuit of
confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan, or the
administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed
under the Plan, except for their willful misconduct or gross
negligence as determined by a final order of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

K.
|
Enforcement
of Subordination
|
The classification and manner of satisfying all Claims and
Interests under the Plan takes into consideration all
subordination rights, if any, whether arising by contract, under
general principles of equitable subordination, sections 510
or 1129(b) (2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. All
holders in any Class that votes to accept the Plan shall have
been deemed to have waived all such subordination rights and
shall be permanently enjoined and estopped from enforcing such
subordination rights. To the extent that any such rights have
not otherwise been expressly taken into account by the Plan, all
such rights are not waived and are hereby expressly
reserved.

Term
of Injunctions or Stays

Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order,
all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases

Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan
or the Confirmation Order), shall remain in full force and
effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays
B-46
contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in
full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Debtors, all present and former holders of Claims against and
Interests in the Debtors, whether or not such holders will
receive or retain any property or interest in property under the
Plan, their respective successors and assigns, including,
without limitation, the Reorganized Debtors, and all other
parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases.
|
|
N.
|
Revocation,
Withdrawal or Non-Consummation
|
The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan at
any time prior to the Confirmation Date and to file other plans
of reorganization. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan,
or if confirmation or consummation of the Plan does not occur,
then (i) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects,
any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan (including the
fixing or limiting to an amount any Claim or Class of Claims),
assumption or rejection of executory contracts or leases
effected by the Plan, and any document or agreement executed
pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed null and void, and
(ii) nothing contained in the Plan, and no acts taken in
preparation for consummation of or statements made in the Plan,
shall (a) constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver or
release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, the
Debtors or any other Person, (b) prejudice in any manner
the rights of the Debtors or any Person in any further
proceedings involving the Debtors, or (c) constitute an
admission of any sort by the Debtors or any other Person. If

under this Plan (a) shall not be deemed an admission of any
kind by the holders of the Claims or a waiver of any rights or
claims by the holders of the Claims, and (b) shall have no
collateral estoppel, presumptive or evidentiary effect of any
kind in any other matter or proceeding in this Chapter 11
Cases or in any Chapter 7 proceedings with respect to the
Debtors.

appointed) shall terminate, except with respect to any
application for compensation or reimbursement of costs and

to the date of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing.

CLAIMS, CLASS 8
LONG-DATED
SENIOR UNSECURED NOTE CLAIMS, CLASS 9 SENIOR UNSECURED
NOTE CLAIMS, CLASS 12 SENIOR SUBORDINATED
NOTE CLAIMS, AND CLASS 13 JUNIOR SUBORDINATED
NOTE CLAIMS]
On October 1, 2009, CIT Group Inc. and CIT Group Funding
Company of Delaware (collectively, CIT)
commenced their exchange offer solicitations (respectively, the
Original CIT Offers, and the
Delaware Funding Offers, and together, the
October 1 Offers) whereby CIT is seeking to
exchange certain of their unsecured debt for new notes and
equity in CIT Group Inc. Contemporaneously with the launch of
the October 1 Offers, CIT also commenced the solicitation of
votes to accept or reject the Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization
of CIT Group Inc. and CIT Group Funding Company of Delaware (as
amended and modified, the Plan of
Reorganization) from holders of their unsecured debt.
On October 16, 2009, CIT Group Inc. commenced its exchange
offer solicitation for certain long term notes whereby CIT Group
Inc. is seeking to exchange certain of their long-term maturity
debt for new notes and equity in CIT Group Inc. (the
Long Term CIT Offers and together with the
October 1 Offers, the Exchange Offer). The
holders of notes subject to the Long Term CIT Offers are also
having their votes solicited in connection with the Plan of
Reorganization.
The Exchange Offer and Plan of Reorganization are explained in
greater detail in the offering memorandum (the Offering
Memorandum) to which this ballot (the
Ballot) is annexed. This Ballot is to be used
to vote to accept or reject the Plan by holders of unsecured
notes (the Old Notes) in the Plan of
Reorganization classes identified above. The Old Notes subject
to the October 1 Offers are identified in the Offering
Memorandum as the Original CIT Old Notes and the Delaware
Funding Old Notes. The Old Notes subject to the Long Term CIT
Offers are identified in the Offering Memorandum as the CIT Long
Term Old Notes. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT
EXCHANGE DEADLINES FOR THE ORIGINAL CIT OFFERS, THE DELAWARE
FUNDING OFFERS AND THE LONG TERM CIT OFFERS.
As discussed in the Offering Memorandum, CIT may commence a
chapter 11 case under the Bankruptcy Code and seek
immediate confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization:
(a) if the conditions to consummating the Exchange Offer
are not satisfied
and/or
(b) the votes on the Plan of Reorganization are sufficient
to confirm such Plan of Reorganization under title 11 of
the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code).
Your instructions with respect to the Exchange Offer
and/or Plan
of Reorganization are to be relayed to the bank, broker, or
other nominee (each, a Nominee) holding the Old
Notes on your behalf. Your options with respect to the
Exchange Offer and vote to accept or reject the Plan of
Reorganization are as follows:
OPTION 1. PARTICIPATE in the Exchange Offer; vote to
ACCEPT the Plan of Reorganization.
OPTION 2. NOT PARTICIPATE in the Exchange Offer; vote
to ACCEPT the Plan of Reorganization.
OPTION 3. NOT PARTICIPATE in the Exchange Offer; vote
to REJECT the Plan of Reorganization.
OPTION 4. Take no action; NOT PARTICIPATE in the
Exchange Offer; NO VOTE on the Plan of Reorganization.
PTS BALLOT
A vote to
accept the Plan constitutes your consent to the releases
specified in Article XIII of the Plan.
The Nominee will also need to tender (or block) your
Old Notes on your behalf, in accordance with your instructions.
There are three different voting choices in connection with the
Exchange Offer and Plan of Reorganization, which are outlined in
greater detail below. This Ballot was designed to assist you to
understand the voting process. Do not return the Ballot to cast
your vote. Instead, you will need to provide your
instructions to the Nominee holding your Old Notes in accordance
with the directions provided by your Nominee. By providing
instructions to your Nominee, you are requesting that they
(1) tender your underlying Old Notes on your behalf in
accordance with your instructions, and (2) execute a master
ballot on your behalf that reflects your instructions with
respect to the Plan of Reorganization. Your instructions to
the firm holding your Old Notes will have the same effect as if
you had completed and returned a physical Ballot to indicate
your vote with respect to the Plan of Reorganization. If you
have any questions, you may contact the information agent, D.F.
King & Co., Inc., at
(800) 758-5880
or
(212) 269-5550.
Please note that, except as provided in the Plan, the Plan
contemplates (i) separate plans of reorganization for each
potential debtor, and (ii) separate classes of creditors
for each plan for voting and distribution purposes. Depending on
the Old Notes you hold against CIT, you may hold claims in
multiple classes. The Offering Memorandum contains a schedule
indicating each series of debt and the corresponding Plan of
Reorganization class, which begins on the inside front cover.
Please note that if you participate in the Exchange Offer you
are also required to vote to accept the Plan of Reorganization.
Therefore, if you intend to participate in the Exchange Offer
you should also carefully review the terms of the Plan of
Reorganization. The treatment of your claims under the Plan
may be different from the treatment provided under the Exchange
Offer.
A vote to accept the Plan constitutes your consent to the
releases, injunctions, and exculpation provisions specified in
Article XIII of the Plan of Reorganization.
Please read and follow the attached instructions
carefully.
