The Equity Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Equity Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of the authentication and delivery of the Equity Certificate. The Equity Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 3.03 Authentication and Delivery of Equity Certificate. The Equity Certificate shall not entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Equity Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B executed by the Owner Trustee or by the Indenture Trustee as its authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that the Equity Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering the Equity Certificate and transfers and exchanges of the Equity Certificate as provided in this Agreement. In the event that the Indenture Trustee notifies the Administrator that it is unable to act as Certificate Registrar, the Administrator shall appoint another bank or trust company agreeing to act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Owner Trustee, to act as successor Certificate Registrar hereunder.

(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Equity Certificate otherwise permitted to be transferred in accordance herewith at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, the Owner Trustee shall (subject to Section 3.01(b)) execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, one new Equity Certificate.

(e) All Equity Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall be the Paying Agent for the Equity Certificate.

Section 3.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Equity Certificate. If (a) any mutilated Equity Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Equity Certificate, and (b) in the case of any destroyed, lost, or stolen Equity Certificate, there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice that such Equity Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide or protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or its authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Equity Certificate, a replacement Equity Certificate of like tenor. In connection with the issuance of any replacement Equity Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Equity Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of beneficial ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Equity Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 3.06 Persons Deemed Equity Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of an Equity Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name the Equity Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of the Equity Certificate for all purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any of their respective agents shall be affected by any notice of the contrary.

- 10 -

of the most recent Record Date in such form as the Servicer, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor may reasonably require. The Equity Certificateholder, by receiving and holding the Equity Certificate, agrees that neither the Servicer, the Administrator, the Depositor nor the Owner Trustee, nor any agent thereof, shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the name and address of the Equity Certificateholder hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 3.08 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where an Equity Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the Equity Certificate and any Trust Agreement Transaction Documents may be served.

- 23 -

(or having a parent which has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000; (iv) having (or having a parent which has) a rating of at least Baa3 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and BBB by Standard & Poor’s; (v) which is not an Affiliate of the Trust, the Depositor, or the Financing Originator, and (vi) does not offer or provide credit or credit enhancement to the Issuer or the Depositor. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.01, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.02.

Section 10.02 Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor and the Servicer at least 30 days before the date specified in such instrument. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 10.01 by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor, Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator or if at any time the Owner Trustee, shall be legally unable to act as such, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee meeting the qualification requirements of Section 10.01 by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee together with payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until all fees and expenses, including any indemnity payments, due to the outgoing Owner Trustee have been paid and until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, pursuant to Section 10.03.

Section 10.03 Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor Owner Trustee, an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee without any further act, deed or

- 24 -

conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee, shall, upon receipt of fees, expenses and indemnity due and owing to the Owner Trustee deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice thereof to the Equity Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each Rating Agency. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 10.03 shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State identifying the name and principal place of business of such successor in the State of Delaware.

Section 10.04 Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01 without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the successor Owner Trustee, under this Section 10.04 shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State identifying the name and principal place of business of such successor in the State of Delaware.

Section 10.05 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Assets may at the time be located, the Owner Trustee shall have the power and, at the request of the Depositor, shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Assets, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Assets, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.01.

- 25 -

Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(a) all rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties, and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Assets or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

(b) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

EQUITY CERTIFICATE


NO. 1	Equity Certificate

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CIT Funding Company, LLC is the registered owner of a beneficial interest in the assets of CIT Equipment Collateral 2006-VT1 trust (the “Trust”) formed by CIT Funding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Depositor”).

The Trust is governed by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of February 1, 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), among CIT Funding Company, LLC, as Depositor (the “Depositor”) and Chase Bank USA, National Association, as Owner Trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Certificate and the Trust Agreement (or the Pooling Agreement, as the case may be), the Trust Agreement (or the Pooling Agreement, as the case may be) shall govern. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings which would be given to them if used in the Trust Agreement.

This Certificate is the duly authorized Equity Certificate issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The Trust has also issued Notes in right of payment to which this Equity Certificate is subordinate. The property of the Trust includes, among other things, all the right,

B-i

title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Transferred Assets identified in one or more related Transfer Agreements delivered from time to time on related Transfer Dates.

The amount to be distributed to the Holder of this Certificate on each Payment Date will be determined pursuant to the Pooling Agreement.

The Holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of Noteholders to the extent described in the Trust Agreement and the Pooling Agreement.

It is the intent of the Financing Originator, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, and the Equity Certificateholder that, for purposes of federal income, state and local income and single business tax and any other income taxes, the Trust will be disregarded as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii) and that all items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit of the Trust will be treated as such items of the Equity Certificateholder. The Depositor and the Equity Certificateholder, by acceptance of this Certificate, agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with such treatment of, the Trust for federal income tax purposes.

The Equity Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a beneficial interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Equity Certificateholder will not at any time institute against (or solicit or cooperate with or encourage any Person to institute against) the Trust or the Depositor, or join in any institution against the Trust or the Depositor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

Distributions on this Certificate from or in respect of Trust Assets will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement and the Pooling Agreement, by the Indenture Trustee or its agent, as Paying Agent, by wire transfer or check mailed to the Equity Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Paying Agent.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth herein below, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee or by the Indenture Trustee as its authenticating agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or any other Transaction Document or be valid for any purpose.

B-ii

This Certificate may only be transferred in accordance with the requirements of Article III of the Trust Agreement. Any transferee of the Certificate must certify, among other things, that it is not acquiring the Certificate for, or with the assets of, a Benefit Plan.

THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

B-iii

This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Depositor, CIT Group Inc., CIT Financial USA, Inc., the Owner Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Trust) and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. In addition, this Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries with respect to the Trust Assets and certain other amounts, in each case as more specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement and in the Pooling Agreement. A copy of each of the Pooling Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined by any Equity Certificateholder upon written request during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Equity Certificateholder under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the parties described therein. Any such consent shall be conclusive and binding on the Equity Certificateholder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar executed by the Equity Certificateholder hereof or such Equity Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Certificate evidencing the same beneficial interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is the Indenture Trustee.

Except as provided in the Trust Agreement, this Certificate is issuable only as a registered Equity Certificate without coupons. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer of this Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to the Equity Certificateholder of all amounts required to be paid to such Equity Certificateholder pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Pooling Agreement and the disposition in accordance with any applicable Transaction Document of all property held as part of the Trust Assets.

B-iv

This Certificate may not be acquired by a Benefit Plan. By accepting and holding this Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan and is not acquiring this Certificate for the account of such an entity.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.
