Amortization Event or a Liquidation Event of Default and at the request of the Trustee, the

for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Trustee, its agent or its designee to return any
Certificate of Title or any delay in doing so. All instructions from the Trustee shall be in
writing and signed by a Trust Officer, and the Administrator shall be deemed to have received
proper instructions with respect to the Certificates of Title upon its receipt of such written
instruction. A certified copy of a by-law or of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Responsible Officer to
act and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Administrator of written
notice to the contrary given by the Trustee.




          (vi) The Trustee hereby grants to the Administrator a power of attorney, with full power of
substitution to take any and all actions, solely for the following limited purposes, in the name of
the Trustee, (x) to note the Trustee as the holder of a first Lien on the Certificates of Title
and/or otherwise ensure that the first Lien shown on any and all Certificates of Title is in the
name of the Trustee (except with respect to the Certificates of Title for (A) any Franchisee
Vehicles (which will reflect the lien of the nominee lienholder under the applicable Franchisee
Nominee Agreement) and (B) Vehicles titled in the States of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Ohio) and (y) to
release the Trustee’s Lien on any Certificate of Title in connection with the sale or disposition
of the related Vehicle permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Related Documents. Nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed as authorization from the Trustee to the Administrator to release
any Lien on the Certificates of Title except upon compliance with the Related Documents. The
Trustee shall have the right to terminate such power of attorney (including the related power
granted pursuant to the following sentence) at any time by giving written notice to such effect to
the Administrator. To further evidence such power of attorney, the Trustee agrees that, on the

     7. Use of Subcontractors. The Administrator may contract with other Persons to assist
it in performing its duties under this Agreement, and any performance of such duties by a Person

action taken by the Administrator. Any such contract shall not relieve the Administrator of its
liability and responsibility with respect to the duties to which such contract relates. Initially,
the Administrator has contracted with WizCom International, Ltd. to assist the Administrator in
performing its duties under this Agreement.

Trustee, the Intermediary, AESOP Leasing, ARAC, BRAC, AESOP Leasing II and their respective
directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from

acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of the activities of the Administrator
pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of
any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, however that the
Administrator shall not indemnify any Indemnified Party if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or
omissions constitute bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct by such Indemnified Party. The
indemnity provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the removal of the
Administrator.



     10. Independence of the Administrator. Unless otherwise provided in the Related
Documents, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the
supervision of CRCF, AESOP Leasing, ARAC, BRAC, AESOP Leasing II, the Trustee, the Intermediary or
any other Person with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its
obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Trustee, the Administrator shall have no
authority to act for or represent the Trustee in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent
of the Trustee.

other Person) as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated
business or other separate entity, (ii) shall be construed to impose any liability as such on any
of them or (iii) shall be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent
authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the others.



     12. Other Activities of Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the
Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from
acting in a similar capacity as an administrator for any other person or entity even though such
person or entity may engage in business activities similar to those of the parties hereto.



     13. Term of Agreement; No Resignation; Removal.



     (a) This Agreement shall continue in force until the termination of the Indenture, each Loan
Agreement, each Lease and the Master Exchange Agreement in accordance with their respective terms

     (c) Subject to Sections 13(d) and 13(e), the Trustee may, and at the written

     (d) No removal of the Administrator pursuant to this Section 13 shall be effective
until (i) a successor Administrator acceptable to each Enhancement Provider shall have been
appointed by the Issuer and the Trustee and (ii) such successor Administrator shall have agreed in

     16. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by a written
amendment duly executed and delivered by CRCF, AESOP Leasing, AESOP Leasing II and the
Administrator, with the written consent of the Trustee, without the consent of the Noteholders, for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders;
provided that (i) such amendment will not, as set forth in an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder and
(ii) the Rating Agency Consent Condition has been satisfied with respect to such amendment. This
Agreement may also be amended by CRCF, AESOP Leasing, AESOP Leasing II, the Administrator and the
Trustee with the written consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of
the Notes Outstanding for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
Noteholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) increase or reduce
in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the
Collateral or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Noteholders which are required to consent to any such
amendment, without the consent of the Noteholders of all the Notes Outstanding and provided
further that the Rating Agency Consent Condition has been satisfied with respect to such
amendment. The Trustee shall have no obligation to execute any amendment hereto which affects its
rights, duties and obligations.



     17. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Administrator
unless such assignment is (i) previously consented to in writing by CRCF, AESOP Leasing, AESOP
Leasing II and the Trustee and (ii) subject to (x) the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Consent
Condition in respect thereof and (y) so long as the Master Exchange Agreement is in effect, the
prior written consent of the Intermediary. An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if
accepted by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator
is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the
Administrator without the consent of CRCF, AESOP Leasing, AESOP Leasing II, the Trustee or the
Intermediary to a corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation
or purchase of assets) to the Administrator; provided that (i) such

successor organization executes and delivers to CRCF, AESOP Leasing, AESOP Leasing II, the
Trustee and the Intermediary, an agreement in which such corporation or other organization agrees
to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is
bound hereunder and (ii) the Rating Agency Consent Condition has been satisfied with respect to
such assignment. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of
the parties hereto. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) AESOP Leasing has pledged all
of its rights under this Agreement to CRCF pursuant to each of the AESOP I Loan Agreements, (ii)
AESOP Leasing II has pledged all of its rights under this Agreement to CRCF pursuant to the AESOP
II Loan Agreement and (iii) CRCF has pledged all of its rights under this Agreement to the Trustee
on behalf of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture.




     18. Governing Law. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.



     19. Headings. The Section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of
reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this
Agreement.



     20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when
so executed shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same
agreement.



     21. Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired hereby.
