CAR: Actual and Compounded Debt Example

Experts,
I have two points on the explanation and the following example:
http://cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/qos/configuration/guide/polcing_shping_oview_ps6441_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html#wp1001013

1) There should be a way for the flow to pay back the actual debit in
case, for instance, that no packet come in for a series of timeslots;
this is not mentioned. How does it happen?

2) tokens are refurnished at every timeslot even if the packet is
dropped.
So, on my opinion, at time 5, when the packet is dropped, 1 token should
go in the bucket.
Then at time 6 another token should be put in the bucket, making 2
tokens in the bucket; so when the 2 data units arrive they can be
transmitted without borrowing.
In the example it looks like the token from timeslot 5 is lost!
Any idea, I am missing something?

Thanks,
Bit.
