Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Reference
is hereby made to the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxx Supplement, dated as of March
7,
2006, as amended by the First Amendment thereto (the “First
Amendment”)
dated
as of the date hereof (as further amended or supplemented from time to time,
the
“Series

among
Chesapeake Funding LLC, as the issuer (the “Issuer”),
PHH
Vehicle Management Services, LLC, as administrator, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
as administrative agent (the “Administrative
Agent”),
the
CP Conduit Purchasers, APA Banks and Funding Agents named therein and The Bank
of New York, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as
indenture trustee (the “Indenture
Trustee”),
to
the Base Indenture, dated as of March 7, 2006, between the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used with
the meanings assigned to them in the Series 0000-0 Xxxxxxxxx Supplement.
On
the
date hereof pursuant to the First Amendment, the Series 2006-1 Maximum Invested
Amount is being increased to $2,900,000,000 and the Maximum Purchaser Group
Invested Amounts with respect to the Purchaser Groups are in most cases
increasing. Each Purchaser Group has agreed to enter into this letter agreement
and increase or decrease its Purchaser Group Invested Amount pursuant hereto
in
order to ensure that the Pro Rata Share with respect to such Purchaser Group
equals the Commitment Percentage with respect to such Purchaser Group after
giving effect to such increases.
Each
Purchaser Group listed on Schedule A hereto hereby agrees that on the date
hereof the CP Conduit Purchaser included in such Purchaser Group shall issue
Commercial Paper in an amount sufficient to increase the CP Conduit Funded
Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group by the amount set forth opposite
the

Amount”).
Each
Purchaser Group listed on Schedule B hereto hereby agrees that on the date
hereof the CP Conduit Purchaser included in such Purchaser Group shall retire
Commercial Paper in an amount sufficient to decrease the CP Conduit Funded
Amount with respect to such Purchaser Group by the amount set forth opposite
the
name of such CP Conduit Purchaser on Schedule B hereto (each a “Decrease
Amount”).
The
Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will have no interest in the
proceeds of any Commercial Paper to be issued on the date hereof.
26
Each
Purchaser Group listed on Schedule A hereto hereby agrees to cause an amount
equal to its Increase Amount to be paid to the Administrative Agent on the
date
hereof, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the FMSD Incoming
Clearing Account, account number 9008112016 at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., ABA#:
000000000, Reference: Chesapeake Funding LLC, 2006-1, no later than 11:00 a.m.
(New York City time). Upon receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent
shall
pay each Purchaser Group listed on Schedule B hereto its Decrease Amount.
The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, after giving effect to the payment
of
the Increase Amounts and the Decrease Amounts as provided herein, the Series
2006-1 Invested Amount shall remain unchanged and the Purchaser Group Invested
Amount of each Purchaser Group shall equal the amount set forth opposite the
name of the CP Conduit Purchaser included in such Purchaser Group on Schedule
C
hereto.
This
Letter Agreement may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing
signed by the Issuer and each of the undersigned parties. This Letter Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the
laws
of the State of New York. This Letter Agreement may be executed in any number
of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken
together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature
page
of this Letter Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
27
Please
confirm that the foregoing is our mutual understanding by signing and returning
to us an executed counterpart of this Letter Agreement.
