each date the amount of outstanding Advances thereunder is reduced, a duly
authorized officer, employee or agent of the Agent shall make appropriate
notations in its books and records of the amount of such Advance and the amount

officer, employee or agent of the Agent to make such notations on the books and
records as aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance with the
foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the
information so recorded and shall be binding on TFFC absent manifest error;
provided, however, that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and
records of the Agent and the records maintained by the Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture, such discrepancy shall be resolved by the Agent and the Trustee.

reorganization with respect to Budget and each of the Group IV Lessees.
SECTION 2.06 Selection of Interest Rates. TFFC may, during the Series
2002-1 Revolving Period, elect (by notice to the Agent) that Advances accrue
interest at the Base Rate or (if TFFC gives notice prior to 11:00 a.m. (London
Time) on the date which is two Business Days prior to the commencement of the
related Eurodollar Interest Period) that such Advances be made as Eurodollar
Advances.
ARTICLE III

Period or (ii) if the required notice has been given, the Eurodollar Rate
(Reserve Adjusted) for the related Eurodollar Interest Period, in each case
except as otherwise provided in the definition of Eurodollar Interest Period or

Servicer of the applicable interest rate for the Advances as of the first day of
each Series 2002-1 Interest Period.
(a) Interest shall be due and payable on each Distribution
Date in accordance with the provisions of the Series 2002-1 Supplement.
7
(b) All computations of interest at the Eurodollar Rate

the actual number of days elapsed and all computations of interest at
the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as
applicable) day year and actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any
payment of interest or principal in respect of any Advance shall be due
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day (other than as provided in the definition
of Eurodollar Interest Period) and such extension of time shall be
included in the computation of the amount of interest owed.
SECTION 3.02 Fees.
(a) Upfront Fee. On the Series 2002-1 Closing Date, TFFC shall

to $7,500,000, which Upfront Fee shall be paid in three equal installments as
follows: (i) $2,500,000 on the Series 2002-1 Closing Date, (ii) $2,500,000 on

(b) Commitment Fee. On each Distribution Date and on the
Series 2002-1 Termination Date, TFFC shall pay to the Series 2002-1 Note
Purchaser a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") equal to the (i) product of
(x) 1.0% and (y) the Series 2002-1 Maximum Invested Amount and (z) the number of
days in the related Series 2002-1 Interest Period, divided by (ii) 360.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the DB MTN Engagement has not
occurred on or before October 15, 2002, the percentage referred to in clause (x)
of the preceding sentence shall be increased to 1.50%.
SECTION 3.03 Eurodollar Lending Unlawful. If the Series 2002-1 Note
Purchaser shall reasonably determine (which determination shall, upon notice
thereof to TFFC, be conclusive and binding on the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser
and TFFC absent manifest error) that the introduction of or any change in or in
the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central
bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Series
2002-1 Note Purchaser to make, continue, or maintain any Advance as, or to
convert any Advance into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance, the obligation
of the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser to make, continue or maintain or convert any
such Advance as the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance shall, upon such
determination, forthwith be suspended until the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser
shall notify TFFC that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist, and the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser shall immediately convert all
Advances into the Base Rate Tranche of such Advance at the end of the then
current Eurodollar Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required
by such law or assertion.
SECTION 3.04 Deposits Unavailable. If the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser
shall have reasonably determined that
(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
relevant Eurodollar Interest Period are not available to the Reference
Lender in the relevant market; or
8
(b) by reason of circumstances affecting the Reference
Lender's relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining
the interest rate applicable hereunder to the Eurodollar Tranche of any
Advance; or
(c) the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser has notified TFFC that,
with respect to any interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder to the
Eurodollar Tranche of any Advance the Eurodollar Interest Period for
which has not then commenced, such interest rate will not adequately
reflect the cost to the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser of making, funding
or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance for
such Eurodollar Interest Period,
then, upon notice from the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser to TFFC, the obligations
of the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser to make or continue any Advance as, or to
convert any Advances into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance shall
forthwith be suspended until the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser shall notify TFFC
that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 3.05 Increased Costs, etc. TFFC agrees to reimburse the Series
2002-1 Note Purchaser and the Agent (each, an "Affected Person") for an increase
in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by any such
Affected Person, including reductions in the rate of return on such Affected
Person's capital, in respect of making, continuing or maintaining (or of its
obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Advances as, or of converting (or
of its obligation to convert) any Advances into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such
Advance that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction,
adoption, effectiveness, interpretation reinterpretation or phase in, in each
case, after the date hereof, of any law or regulation, directive, guideline,
decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court,
central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority, except for such changes
with respect to increased capital costs and taxes which are governed by Sections
3.07 and 3.08, respectively; provided, however, that TFFC shall have no
obligation to pay any such additional amount under this Section 3.05 with
respect to any day or days unless any such Affected Person shall have notified
TFFC of its demand therefor within forty-five (45) days of the date upon which
such Affected Person has obtained audited information with respect to the fiscal
year of such Affected Person in which such day or days occurred. Each such
demand shall be provided to TFFC in writing and shall state, in reasonable
detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to
compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount or
return. Such additional amounts shall be payable by TFFC directly to such
Affected Person within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such notice, and
such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
on TFFC.
SECTION 3.06 Funding Losses. In the event any Affected Person shall
incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
Affected Person to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal
amount of any Advance as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of
any Advance into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance) as a result of:
(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment (for any reason,
including, without limitation, as a result of the acceleration of the
maturity of the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance) of the principal
amount of any portion of the Eurodollar Tranche on a date other than
the scheduled last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable
thereto;
9
(b) any Advance not being made as an Advance under the
Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an Advance has been made in
accordance with the terms contained herein; or
(c) any Advance not being continued as, or converted into, an
Advance under the Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an
Advance has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein, or
(d) any failure of TFFC to make a Decrease when required
pursuant to the terms of the Series 2002-1 Supplement or after giving
notice thereof pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Series 2002-1
Supplement,
then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to TFFC, TFFC shall pay
directly to such Affected Person such amount as will (in the reasonable
determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such
loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in
reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and
binding on TFFC.
SECTION 3.07 Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the
introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation or reinterpretation or
phase in, in each case after the date hereof, of any law or regulation,
directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of
law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or reasonably expected to
be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected
Person and such Affected Person reasonably determines (in its sole and absolute
discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person's capital
as a consequence of its commitment or the Advances made by such Affected Person
is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling
Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance,
then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person to
TFFC, TFFC shall pay to such Affected Person an incremental commitment fee
sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for
such reduction in rate of return; provided, however, that TFFC shall not have
any obligation to pay any such additional amount under this Section 3.07 with
respect to any day or days unless such Affected Person shall have notified TFFC
of its demand therefor within forty-five (45) days of the date upon which such
Affected Person has obtained audited information with respect to the fiscal year
of such Affected Person in which such day or days occurred. A statement of such
Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including
calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error,
shall be conclusive and binding on TFFC; and provided, further, that the initial
payment of such increased commitment fee shall include a payment for accrued
amounts due under this Section 3.07 prior to such initial payment. In
determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of
averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem
applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions.
SECTION 3.08 Taxes. All payments by TFFC of principal of, and interest
on, the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account
of any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other
taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever
imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding in the case of any Affected
Person, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, overall receipts
or overall assets and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction of any
Affected Person, as the case may be,
10
in which it is organized or is operating or any political subdivision thereof
and taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, overall receipts or
overall assets or franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction of any
Affected Person's Domestic Office or Eurodollar Office, as the case may be, or
any political subdivision thereof (such nonexcluded items being called "Taxes").
In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made to
the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes
pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then TFFC will
(a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount
required to be so withheld or deducted;
(b) promptly forward to the agent for the relevant Affected
Person an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the
agent for the relevant Affected Person or evidencing such payment to
such authority; and
(c) pay to the agent for the relevant Affected Person such
additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net
amount actually received by each Affected Person will equal the full
amount such Affected Person would have received had no such withholding
or deduction been required.
Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with
respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent hereunder,
such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Taxes and TFFC will promptly upon
receipt of prior written notice stating the amount of such Taxes, pay such
additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is
necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person after
the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall
equal the amount such Affected Person would have received had not such Taxes
been asserted. If TFFC fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to the Affected Person or its agent the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, TFFC shall indemnify the
Affected Person and their agent for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties
that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agent as a result of
any such failure. For purposes of this Section 3.08, a distribution hereunder by
the agent for the relevant Affected Person shall be deemed a payment by TFFC.
Upon the request of TFFC, each Affected Person that is organized under the laws
of a jurisdiction other than the United States shall provide, prior to the
initial due date of any payments hereunder one or more (as TFFC may reasonably
request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN or
such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately
completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a
payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of
Taxes. TFFC shall not, however, be required to pay any increased amount under
this Section 3.08 to any Affected Person that is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the United States if such Affected Person fails to
comply with the requirements set forth in this paragraph.
SECTION 3.09 Carrying Charges. Any amounts payable by TFFC under
Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 3.08 shall constitute Series 2002-1 Carrying
Charges.

action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this
Agreement or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of the Agent
hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Series

SECTION 5.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (a) liable for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with
this Agreement (except for its, their or such Person's own gross negligence or
willful misconduct or, in the case of the Agent, the breach of its obligations
expressly set forth in this Agreement), or (b) responsible in any manner to any
of the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by TFFC contained in this Agreement or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received

12
SECTION 5.04 Reliance. The Agent shall in all cases be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including, without limitation, counsel to TFFC), independent accountants and
other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any
other document furnished in connection herewith unless it shall first receive
such advice or concurrence of the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser or the Secured
Parties, as applicable, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified
to its satisfaction by the Secured Parties, provided that unless and until the
Agent shall have received such advice, the Agent may take or refrain from taking
any action, as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the
Secured Parties. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the Series 2002-1

action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the
Secured Parties.
SECTION 5.05 Non-Reliance on the Agent and Other Purchasers. Each
Secured Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made
any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter
taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of TFFC, shall
be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. Each
Secured Party represents and warrants to the Agent that it has and will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Secured Party and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of TFFC and made
its own decision to enter into this Agreement and, in the case of a Hedge
Counterparty, such Hedge Counterparty's Hedge Agreement.

Note Purchaser, resign as Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then Series 2002-1
Note Purchaser, during such 5-day period, shall appoint a successor agent
subject to the consent of TFFC in its sole and absolute discretion. If for any
reason no successor Agent is appointed by Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser during
such 5-day period (or a successor Agent is appointed but not consented to by
TFFC), then effective upon the expiration of such 5-day period, TFFC shall make
all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids or under any fee letter
delivered in connection herewith directly to the applicable Secured Party and
for all purposes shall deal directly with each Secured Party. After any retiring
Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of Section 9.05 and this

taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.

22
SECTION 9.06 Characterization as Related Document; Entire Agreement.
This Agreement shall be deemed to be a Related Document for all purposes of the
Base Indenture and the other Related Documents to the extent the Base Indenture
and other Related Documents relate to the Series 2002-1 Note. This Agreement,
together with the Base Indenture, the Series 2002-1 Supplement, the documents
delivered pursuant to Section 7.02 and the other Related Documents, including
the exhibits and schedules thereto, contains a final and complete integration of
all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all previous oral statements
and other writings with respect thereto.
SECTION 9.07 Notices. All notices, amendments, waivers, consents and
other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement shall be
in writing and addressed, delivered or transmitted to such party at its address
or facsimile number set forth below its signature hereto or at such other
address or facsimile number as may be designated by such party in a notice to
the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage
prepaid or if properly addressed and sent by prepaid courier service, shall be
deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by facsimile, shall be
deemed given when transmitted upon receipt of electronic confirmation of
transmission.
SECTION 9.08 Severability of Provisions. Any covenant, provision,
agreement or term of this Agreement that is prohibited or is held to be void or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of the prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.09 Tax Characterization. Each party to this Agreement (a)
acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that, for
accounting purposes and for all federal, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes, the Series 2002-1 Note will be treated as evidence of indebtedness
issued by TFFC, (b) agrees to treat the Series 2002-1 Note for all such purposes
as indebtedness (unless instructed to treat such Series 2002-1 Note otherwise by
an applicable taxing authority) and (c) agrees that the provisions of the
Related Documents shall be construed to further these intentions.
SECTION 9.10 No Proceedings; Limited Recourse. Each of the parties
hereto (other than TFFC) hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date
which is one year and one day after the payment in full of any Notes issued by
TFFC pursuant to the Base Indenture, it will not institute against, or join with
any other Person in instituting against, TFFC, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under
any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, all as more particularly set
forth in Section 13.16 of the Base Indenture and subject to any retained rights
set forth therein; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.10 shall
constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other
payment from TFFC pursuant to this Agreement, the Series 2002-1 Supplement or
the Base Indenture. In the event that the Agent or the Series 2002-1 Note
Purchaser (solely in its capacity as such) takes action in violation of this
Section 9.10, TFFC agrees that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court
or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by any such Person
against TFFC or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that such
Person has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and
precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that
it may assert. The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by the
Agent or the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser in assertion or defense of its claims
in any such proceeding involving TFFC. No
23
recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing from TFFC in respect
of this Agreement, including the payment of any fee hereunder or any other
obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any
stockholder, employee, officer, director, affiliate or incorporator of TFFC;
provided, however, nothing in this Section 9.10 shall relieve any of the
foregoing Persons from any liability which any such Person may otherwise have
for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, each of the parties
hereto agree that all fees, expenses and other costs payable hereunder by TFFC
shall be payable only to the extent set forth in Section 13.18 of the Base
Indenture and that all other amounts owed to them by TFFC shall be payable
solely from amounts that become available for payment pursuant to the Base
Indenture and the Series 2002-1 Supplement.

requirement to TFFC, the Servicer or the applicable Lessee, as the case may be,

Lessee, or the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser.

Purchaser from a source other than TFFC, the Servicer or the applicable Lessee,

applicable Lessee, as the case may be, or (2) known to the Series 2002-1 Note
Purchaser to be otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information by a
