CIT Group Inc.
&
CIT Group Funding Company of Delaware LLC
 
Offers to Exchange
and Solicitation of Acceptances of a Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization
 
This Supplement No. 1 supplements the Amended Offering Memorandum, Disclosure Statement and Solicitation of Acceptances of a Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization, dated October 16, 2009 (the “Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement”), relating to the Offers and the Plan of Reorganization. You should carefully read the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement and this Supplement No. 1 to understand fully the terms of the Offers and the Plan of Reorganization. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Supplement No. 1 have the meanings described in the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement.
 
This Supplement No. 1 updates information in the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement, and, accordingly, to the extent inconsistent, the information in this Supplement No. 1 supersedes the information contained in the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement. Any statement that is updated or superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part of the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement except as updated or superseded by this Supplement No. 1. Information contained in the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement and not addressed in this Supplement No. 1 remains unchanged.
 
Copies of the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement may be obtained at no cost by contacting the information agent at its telephone number set forth on the back cover of this Supplement No. 1.
 
This Supplement No. 1 contains updated information regarding, among other things:
 
  •  the terms of the New Notes;
 
  •  the terms of the Delaware Funding Offers;
 
  •  the collateral securing the New Notes;
 
  •  the terms of the Plan of Reorganization; and
 
  •  the liquidation analysis contained in Appendix B of the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement.
 
In addition, this Supplement No. 1 contains new information with respect to additional developments following the date of the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement.
 
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.

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 Description of New Notes

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

Clause (10) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” is revised to read as follows:

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

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 “Survivor’s Option”
 
Certain Old Notes issued by CIT Group Inc. contain a “survivor’s 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 owner’s interest in that note plus unpaid interest accrued to the date of payment. Holders of Old Notes that have exercised such “survivor’s option” but whose survivor’s option has not yet been paid may vote on the Offers and the Plan of Reorganization. Old Notes for which a survivor’s 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 survivor’s 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 survivor’s 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

Table of Contents

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 JPM’s application of cash collateral against CIT Group Inc.’s and/or Reorganized CIT’s 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

Table of Contents

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 Funding’s 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 Leasing’s 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 holder’s 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

Table of Contents

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 holder’s 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.

Table of Contents

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.

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

Table of Contents

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 Debtor’s 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 Debtor’s 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 estate’s assets, the costs and expenses of the liquidation, and additional administrative expenses that may result from the termination of the Debtor’s 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 CIT’s 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 Debtor’s 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 Debtor’s 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


Table of Contents

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 DEBTOR’S 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 DEBTOR’S 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 CIT’s 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.

(1) This analysis assumes liquidation commences on January 1, 2010 and lasts 12 months.
 
(2) 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.
 
(3) 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 Group’s subsidiaries, the value of which is reflected in the Equity Investment in Subsidiaries.
 
(4) JPM Letter of Credit facility is assumed to be either undrawn or satisfied by the Company or one of its subsidiaries.
 
(5) The Senior and Junior Subordinated Notes are contractually subordinated and therefore would not receive any distribution.

Table of Contents

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, CIT’s 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 CIT’s subsidiary entities. Certain of those assets held by CIT’s 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 CIT’s 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. CIT’s 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 Debtor’s 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 CIT’s subsidiary entities.
 
Operating Leases
 
The Debtor’s 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 CIT’s 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.

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 management’s 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 DEBTOR’S 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

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.

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 Debtor’s 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 Debtor’s 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 estate’s assets, the costs and expenses of the liquidation, and additional administrative expenses that may result from the termination of the Debtor’s 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 Debtor’s 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.

Table of Contents

Estimate of Costs
 
The Debtor’s 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.

(1) 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.

Exhibit A — 2.2:
 
Estimate of Net Proceeds
 
Estimates were made of the cash proceeds which might be realized from the liquidation of the Debtor’s 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 Debtor’s 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.

(1) 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.

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 DEBTOR’S 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 DEBTOR’S 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.

E.   Elimination Of Classes
 
Any Class that does not contain any Allowed Claims or any Claims temporarily allowed for voting purposes under Bankruptcy Rule 3018, as of the date of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, shall be deemed to have been deleted from the Plan for purposes of (a) voting to accept or reject the Plan and (b) determining whether it has accepted or rejected the Plan under section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
F.   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.
 
G.   Treatment of Classes
 
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.

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 holder’s rights and obligations under the Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges, security interests or other legal


B-22


Table of Contents

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 holder’s 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 Funding’s 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 Corporation’s 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 holder’s 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

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 holder’s 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 holder’s 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 holder’s 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.
 
1.   CVR Distributions
 
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


Table of Contents

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.
 
2.   Termination
 
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.
 
3.   Disbursing Agent
 
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.
 
4.   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 CIT’s 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.
 
5.   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.

6.   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


Table of Contents

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 JPM’s application of cash collateral against CIT Group Inc.’s and/or Reorganized CIT’s 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.
 
K.  Continued 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 Amendment to Limited Liability Company Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits A-1, A-2 and A-3, respectively.
 
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.

L.  Cancellation of Interests and Agreements
 
On the Effective Date, except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan, (i) 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, the Junior Subordinated Notes, the Old Preferred Interests, the Old Common Interests, and the Other Equity Interests or other instrument or document evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of or ownership interest in the Debtors, except such notes or other instruments evidencing indebtedness or obligations of or 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 necessary to (1) allow holders of such Canadian Senior Unsecured Notes, the Long-Dated Senior Unsecured Notes, Senior Unsecured Notes, Senior Unsecured Term Loans, Senior Unsecured Credit Agreements, Senior Subordinated Notes and/or Junior Subordinated Notes to receive distributions, if any, under the Plan and (2) allow the Disbursing Agents to make distributions under the Plan as provided herein, and (ii) the obligations of the Debtors under 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, 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

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.
 
ARTICLE V
 
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
 
A.  Distributions for Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date
 
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


Table of Contents

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 holder’s address set forth in the Debtors’ books and records, unless such address is superseded by a proof of claim or


B-34


Table of Contents

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 Agent’s system. If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made, unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified of such holder’s 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 Agent’s 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.
 
G.   Setoffs
 
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


Table of Contents

claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors may have against the Claim’s 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.
 
H.   Surrender of Instruments or Securities

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.

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.

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-year’s 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.

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.

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.

REVISED BALLOT FOR ACCEPTING OR REJECTING THE PREPACKAGED PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF CIT GROUP INC. AND CIT GROUP FUNDING COMPANY OF DELAWARE
 
[THIS BALLOT IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR USE BY HOLDERS OF NON-CERTIFICATED SECURITIES IN CLASS 7 CANADIAN SENIOR UNSECURED NOTE 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.


Table of Contents

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.
