and covering the same Vehicles as such Bankrupt Manufacturer’s Manufacturer
Program (and the related Assignment Agreements) in effect on the date such
Bankrupt Manufacturer became subject to such Chapter 11 Proceedings and, at the
time of the execution and delivery of such new post-petition Manufacturer
Program, the payment of all amounts due and payable by such Bankrupt
Manufacturer under such Manufacturer Program and the curing of all other

““Redesignated Vehicle” means any Vehicle that was a Program Vehicle when
originally acquired or financed by the applicable Lessor and that has been
redesignated as a Non-Program Vehicle in accordance with Section 2.7 of the
applicable Lease.”
 
““Unaccepted Program Vehicle” means a Program Vehicle that is rejected as
ineligible for repurchase by the related Manufacturer (or for sale at auction
under the applicable Manufacturer Program) and that is not expected to be
accepted upon a subsequent return, or that at the time of its intended
disposition is determined by the relevant Lessee as likely to be so rejected;
provided, however, that after such rejection or determination such Vehicle will
not be used in the operating fleet of the relevant Lessee.”

without concurrently seeking approval of the execution of a new Manufacturer

assumption of all such Manufacturer Programs and the related Assignment
Agreements under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.”
 
““Market Value Average” means, as of any day, the percentage equivalent of a
fraction, the numerator of which is the average of the Non-Program Fleet Market
Value as of the preceding Determination Date and the two Determination Dates
precedent thereto and the denominator of which is the average of the aggregate
Net Book Value of all Non-Program Vehicles (excluding (i) any Unaccepted Program
Vehicles and (ii) any Excluded Redesignated Vehicles) leased under the AESOP I
Operating Lease and the Finance Lease as of the preceding Determination Date and
the two Determi-nation Dates precedent thereto.”

respective Market Values of each such Non-Program Vehicle subject to the AESOP I
Operating Lease or the Finance Lease as of such date. For purposes of computing
the Non-Program Fleet Market Value, the “Market Value” of a Non-Program Vehicle
means the market value of such Non-Program Vehicle as specified in the most
recently published NADA Guide for the model class and model year of such
Non-Program Vehicle based on the average equipment and the average mileage of
each Non-Program Vehicle of such model class and model year then leased under
the AESOP I Operating Lease and the Finance Lease. If such Non-Program Vehicle
is not listed in the most recently published NADA Guide, then the “Market Value”
of a Non-Program Vehicle means the Capitalized Cost of such Non-Program Vehicle
less depreciation charges accrued in respect of such Non-Program Vehicle in
accordance with the applicable Depreciation Schedule since the date of such

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Non-Program Vehicle’s purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Non-Program
Vehicle is subject to a Manufacturer Program and for so long as no Manufacturer
Event of Default has occurred with respect to the related Manufacturer, the
Market Value of such Non-Program Vehicle as of any date of determination, will
equal the Repurchase Price on such date with respect to such Vehicle under such
Manufacturer Program.”
 
Section 1.3  Amended Definitions.
 
The Definitions List in Schedule I to the Base Indenture is hereby amended by
deleting the term “Redesignated Program Vehicle” and replacing the term
