ARTICLE II     
COMMITMENTS OF LENDERS
2.1    Commitments to Make Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Term Loan Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make a single Loan to the Borrower on the Drawdown Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Commitments; provided, that the sum of all Loans advanced by all Lenders under this Section 2.1 shall not exceed the lesser of (i) Maximum Facility Amount and (ii) the Borrowing Base.
2.2    Requests for Loans.  Except as otherwise set in this Section 2.2, the Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent irrevocable written Borrowing Request (or telephonic notice confirmed in a Borrowing Request) of its intention to obtain a Loan hereunder no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least (i) three (3) Business Days for a LIBOR Loan, and (ii) one (1) Business Day for a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan before the requested Drawdown Date for such Loan.  A Borrowing Request received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may submit a Borrowing Request on the Closing Date to obtain a LIBOR Loan on such date.
2.3    The Notes.  The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a separate Note, in a maximum principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Loan made by such Lender on the Drawdown Date.  Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of a Loan or at the time of receipt of its Pro Rata Share of any Principal Payment Amount, an appropriate notation on such Note reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such Pro Rata Share of a Principal Payment Amount.  The outstanding amount of the Loan set forth on any Note shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the Principal Balance thereof, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such Pro Rata Share of a Principal Payment Amount on such Lender’s Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Note when due.  Additionally, the outstanding amount of each Loan as set forth in the records, including computer records, of the applicable Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the Principal Balance thereof.
2.4    Termination of Commitments.  Each Lender Commitment shall immediately terminate after the occurrence of the Drawdown Date.
2.5    Repayment of Loans.  The Principal Balance of all Loans shall be payable in twenty (20) quarterly installments consisting of (i) nineteen (19) quarterly installments, commencing on June 20, 2014, each in an amount equal to one and three quarters of one percent (1.75%) of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance on the Closing Date (calculated after giving effect to the funding on such date) and continuing on the twentieth (20th) day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) of the last month of each calendar quarter thereafter through and including December 20, 2018 and (ii) one installment payable on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to sixty six and three quarters of one percent (66 3⁄4%) of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance on the Closing Date (calculated after giving effect to the funding on such date).  The amount of each such Principal Payment Amount may be (i) increased in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7 and (ii) adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3(c) hereof.
The then unpaid Principal Balance of, and all accrued interest and other amounts owing on, or with respect to, all Notes shall be payable in full on the earlier to occur of (a) the Maturity Date and (b) the date on which the Loans have been declared due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof.
2.6    Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Loan on such Drawdown Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Loan available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1, and may, in reliance upon such assumption but is under no obligation to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at, in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, an interest rate (and with an additional administrative fee) determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  If such Lender pays its Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan.
2.7    Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for a Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the provisions of this Term Loan Agreement, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to such Loan set forth in Article XI and Article XII are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
2.8    Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of each Lender hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to this Term Loan Agreement are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make Loans or to make any payment under this Term Loan Agreement on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make Loans or to make any payment under this Term Loan Agreement.
2.9    Term Loan Facility.  The credit facility evidenced by this Term Loan Agreement is a term loan facility.  Accordingly, the Borrower will not have the right to reborrow any amounts repaid to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Term Loan Agreement.
ARTICLE III     
DEFAULTING LENDERS
3.1    Defaulting Lenders
(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Term Loan Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Term Loan Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 17.1 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Term Loan Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Term Loan Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Term Loan Agreement; and fifth to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article XII were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE IV     
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL LOANS
4.1    Interest on the Loans.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of this Term Loan Agreement, including Sections 4.2, the Aggregate Note Principal Balance (or any portion thereof) shall bear interest at (i) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, (ii) with respect to the Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, the Eurodollar Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, or (iii) with respect to LIBOR Loans, Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans.  The Borrower shall request the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time such Loan is requested pursuant to Section 2.2 or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof.
(b)    The Borrower promises to pay interest in arrears on all Loans, or any unpaid portion thereof, on each applicable Payment Date.
(c)    In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Loan exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  If at any time the interest rate charged with respect to a Loan exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to such Loan shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
(d)    Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of the Required Lenders, all Loans, any fee, or any other amount payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, in each case from the date of that Event of Default that such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
4.2    Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans.
(a)    Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall have the option, upon the expiration of any Interest Period (if applicable), to (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding Loans into Loans of a different Type on such date or dates and in such minimum amounts as the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall mutually agree upon or as set forth in a Borrowing Request, and (ii) continue LIBOR Loans for the same or a different Interest Period.  Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan or LIBOR Loans.  If the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Loans and Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans.  If the Borrower requests conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Loan or a Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.
(b)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan (as applicable).  During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as, LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Loans and Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
4.3    Prepayment of Loans.
(a)    Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay the Notes, in whole or in part, upon delivery of written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to such prepayment, by paying an amount equal to the principal balance prepaid, and all accrued interest and other amounts owing on, or with respect thereto; provided, that (a) each partial prepayment shall be in the principal amount of $1,000,000 or multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) in the event that any LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan is prepaid at any time other than the end of an Interest Period applicable thereto (a “Breakage Prepayment”), the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender receiving any such Breakage Prepayment an amount equal to such Lender’s Breakage Cost in accordance with Section 5.7(c).
(b)    Mandatory Prepayments.  On the Principal Payment Date immediately following (x) receipt by the Borrower of Net Cash Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale with respect to one or more Eligible Containers, or (y) the occurrence of a Casualty Loss with respect to one or more Eligible Containers, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the Lenders, an amount equal to the product of (x) eighty two and one half of one percent (82.5%) and (y) the sum of the Net Book Values (as of the most recent date of determination) of the Eligible Containers subject to such Asset Sale and/or Casualty Loss; provided, however, that the Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, defer such prepayment until the earlier to occur of (x) the immediately following Principal Payment Date and (y) the date on which the aggregate amount of the required prepayment (including any deferred payment from prior Principal Payment Dates) exceeds in aggregate an amount equal to the product of (i) 1% and (ii) the Aggregate Note Principal Balance on the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, elect to reduce any prepayment which would otherwise be payable pursuant to this provision by substituting new Eligible Containers for the Eligible Containers subject of such Asset Sale or Casualty Loss in accordance with the procedures, and subject to the limitations, set forth in Section 6.2.
(c)    Application of Prepayments.  Any prepayment of principal of a Loan shall include all interest accrued to the date of prepayment.  Each such prepayment shall be applied to reduce all remaining scheduled Principal Payment Amounts (including the Principal Payment Amount due on the Maturity Date) in reverse order of maturity and to reduce the outstanding Principal Balances of the Notes of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate prepayment amount.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any notice of prepayment, and of the amount of such Lender’s prepayment.  Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower, each prepayment received by a Lender shall be applied first to repay in full all Base Rate Loans, then to prepay in full all Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans and then to prepay all LIBOR Loans.
4.4    Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption but shall have no obligation to, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 4.4 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
4.5    Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or and accrued interest thereon greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (x) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share; provided, that:
(a)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(b)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Term Loan Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
4.6    Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
4.7    Increase in Facility.
(a)    Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be promptly sent by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders), the Borrower may during the period from (but excluding) the Closing Date to the date that is the two year anniversary of the Closing Date on not more than two occasions, request an increase in the Loans to be funded pursuant to the terms of this Term Loan Agreement by a total aggregate amount for all such increases not exceeding One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000); provided that such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).  All such increased Loans shall have an amortization profile that is equivalent to the existing Loans under this Term Loan Agreement, and a maturity date that is co-terminous with the Maturity Date.
(b)    Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees, in its sole discretion, to increase its Loans and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its ratable portion (based on such Lender's Pro Rata Share) of such requested increase.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Loans.
(c)    Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders' responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(d)    Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Loans are increased in accordance with this Section 4.7, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. As of the Increase Effective Date, the principal amortization profile for the Loans set forth in Section 2.5 shall be amended to increase the then remaining unpaid installments of principal by an aggregate amount equal to the additional Loans being made on such date, such aggregate amount to be applied to increase such installments ratably in accordance with the amounts in effect immediately prior to the Increase Effective Date.  If any Loan made pursuant to an increase made in accordance with this Section 4.7 shall bear interest at a rate per annum that exceeds the rate of interest on any Loan made available to the Borrower prior to any such Increase (a “Prior Loan”) by more than one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum, then the Applicable Margin with respect to all Prior Loans shall be increased to an amount sufficient to cause that Prior Loan to bear interest at a rate equal to the rate of interest borne by that New Loan minus one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum.  Any amendment to the Term Loan Agreement to implement any of the foregoing changes in principal amortization and/or Applicable Margin may be signed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
(e)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As conditions precedent to such increase, each of the following must be satisfied:
(i)    the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VII and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 4.7(e), the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.9(b) and (c) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.1(a) and (b), (B) no Default or Event of Default exists and the conditions set forth in Article XII are fulfilled with respect to such Incremental Loan and (C) demonstrating that, after giving effect to all such incremental Loans, TAL Group and its Consolidated Subsidiaries shall be in pro-forma compliance with all of the covenants set forth in Article X;
(ii)    the Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in connection with and at the time of any such proposed increase; 
(iii)    since the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the TAL Group delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(b), there shall have been no change which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iv)    any incremental Loan made pursuant to this Section 4.7 (each, an “Incremental Loan”) shall have a maturity date no earlier than the Maturity Date and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity no shorter than that of the existing Loans; 
(v)    if the Initial Yield applicable to any such Incremental Loans exceeds by more than 0.50% per annum the Applicable Margin then in effect for Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Rate Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as applicable (the “Existing Yield”), then the Applicable Margin of the existing Term Loans shall increase by an amount equal to the difference between the Initial Yield and the Existing Yield (less 0.50%); for the purposes of this provision, the term “Initial Yield” shall mean, with respect to Incremental Loans, the amount (as determined by the Administrative Agent) equal to the margin above the Base Rate, LIBOR or Eurodollar Market Index Rate, as the case may be, applicable to such Incremental Loans;
(vi)    the Borrower and/or the Guarantor shall, on or prior to the date any such Incremental Loan is advanced to the Borrower, add Eligible Containers to the existing pool of Collateral having an aggregate Net Book Value in an amount required to prevent the existing Lenders’ Effective Advance Rate from increasing upon the making of such Incremental Loan.  For the purposes of this provision, the term “Effective Advance Rate” shall mean a percentage determined by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of all Lenders (excluding the principal balance of the proposed Incremental Loan) immediately prior to the making of such Incremental Loan, by (y) the Net Book Value of all Eligible Containers immediately prior to the making of such Incremental Loan (but excluding any Eligible Containers added (or to be added) to the existing pool of Collateral by the Borrower and/or the Guarantor in accordance with the requirements of this clause (vi) in connection with the making of such Incremental Loan); and
(vii)    any collateral securing any such Incremental Loans shall also secure all other Obligations on a pari passu basis.
(f)    Additional Applicable Provisions.  Any Incremental Loans shall be advanced by the Lenders participating therein pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.1 and 2.2.
(g)    Amendment of Schedule 1.  Upon the effectiveness of any increase in the Loans pursuant to this Section 4.7, the Commitment and Commitment Percentage of each Lender will be adjusted to give effect to the incremental Loans, and Schedule 1 hereto shall automatically be deemed amended accordingly.
ARTICLE V     
CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS
5.1    Fees.
(d)    Structuring Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Lead Arranger for its own account the structuring fee specified in the Fee Letter in the amount and at the times so specified.  Such structuring fee shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
(e)    Administrative Agent Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the Fees specified in the Fee Letter in the amount and at the times so specified.  Such Fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
5.2    Funds for Payments.
(d)    Payments to Administrative Agent.  All payments of principal, interest, Fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the accounts of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place that the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate in writing to the Borrower, in each case at or about 11:00 a.m. (New York time or other local time at the place of payment) and in immediately available funds.
(e)    No Offset, Etc. 
(i)    Subject to Sections 5.2(c) and 5.2(d), all payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without recoupment, setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to tax), levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding.  If any Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent would have received on such due date had no such Non-Excluded Taxes been imposed upon the Borrower.  The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower under such other Loan Document.
(ii)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder (“Other Taxes”).
(iii)    Subject to Section 5.2(c), the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lenders and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, that the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have provided the Borrower with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, of payment of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.
(iv)    Any Lender or the Administrative Agent that becomes entitled to the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Sections 5.2.(b)(i) and (ii) or indemnification pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(iii) shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable law) to file any document reasonably requested by the Borrower or, if a Lender, to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change of office, as the case may be, would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any payment of such additional amounts or indemnification that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable good faith determination of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, be disadvantageous to it.
(v)    If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives any refund with respect to taxes for which the Borrower has paid any additional amounts pursuant to Sections 5.2(b)(i) or (ii), then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly pay to the Borrower the portion of the sum of such refund and any interest received with respect thereto as it determines, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, will leave it, after such payment, in no better or worse financial position than it would have been absent the imposition of such taxes and the payment of such additional amounts pursuant to Sections 5.2(b)(i) or (ii); provided, however, that (i) the Borrower agrees to promptly return any amount paid to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.2(b)(v) upon notice from such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, that such refund or any portion thereof is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority, (ii) nothing in this Section 5.2(b)(v) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns), and (iii) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 5.2(b)(v) at any time when an Event of Default exists; provided, that upon such Event of Default ceasing to exist, all such amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to this Section 5.2(b)(v) but for the effect of this clause (iii) shall be promptly so paid.
(vi)    If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid pursuant to Sections 5.2.(b)(i) or (ii), the relevant Lender or Administrative Agent (to the extent such Person reasonably determines in good faith that it will not suffer any adverse effect as a result thereof) shall cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, at the Borrower’s expense, if so requested by the Borrower in writing.
(f)    Non-U.S. Lenders.  Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) hereby agrees that it shall, prior to the date of the first payment by the Borrower hereunder to be made to such Lender or for such Lender’s account (and thereafter when required to the extent it is legally entitled to do so), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as and when required by the Code, including (i) two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W‐8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by the Code, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender establishing that with respect to payments of principal, interest or fees hereunder it is (A) not subject to United States federal withholding tax under the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender of a trade or business in the United States or (B) totally exempt from United States federal withholding tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty or (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not legally entitled to deliver the forms specified in clause (i) and that is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and to the effect that (A) such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental authority, any application made to a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from any tax, securities law or other legal requirements, (B) is not a ten percent (10%) shareholder for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and (C) is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, together with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN.  Each Lender agrees that it shall, promptly upon a change of its Applicable Lending Office or the selection of any additional Applicable Lending Office, to the extent the forms previously delivered by it pursuant to this section are no longer effective, and promptly upon the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request after the occurrence of any other event (including the passage of time) requiring the delivery of a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI in addition to or in replacement of the forms previously delivered, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, if and to the extent it is properly entitled to do so, a properly completed and executed Form W-8BEN or Form W‐8ECI, as applicable (or any successor forms thereto).  For any period with respect to which such Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate, complete and accurate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of taxes or indemnification under Section 5.2(b) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should such a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request, at such Lender’s expense, to assist such Lender to recover such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes.
(g)    Each Non-U.S. Lender, on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a Lender hereunder, prior to the expiration or obsolescence thereof, and from time to time thereafter either upon the request of the Borrower, or upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered documentation, shall furnish the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) with any documentation that is required under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code or applicable Treasury regulations to enable the Borrower to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes it may be required to withhold in respect of Section 1471 or 1472 of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event that either (i) the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence fails to establish a complete exemption from withholding of amounts under Section 1471 and 1472 or (ii) no such required documentation is delivered, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 5.2 in respect of any such withholding imposed under Sections 1471 or 1472.
5.3    Computations.  All computations of interest, except in respect of the Prime Rate, shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.  All computations of interest in respect of the Prime Rate, shall be based on a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable, and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension.  The Principal Balance of any Note, as reflected on the records of the related Lender, shall, absent manifest error, be considered correct and binding on the Borrower.
5.4    Inability to Determine Interest Rates.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan,
(i)    the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR or the Eurodollar Market Index Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period, or 
(ii)    the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that LIBOR or Eurodollar Market Index Rate, as the case may be, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender, as the case may be) of making, funding or maintaining their (or its, as the case may be) LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, for such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  In the case of LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays such LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, in accordance with this Term Loan Agreement.  Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before the date of any LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan for which a Borrowing Request has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, then such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan. 
5.5    Illegality.  If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended.  In the case of the making of a LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, such Lender’s LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Loan for the same Interest Period and if the affected LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, to such date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion.
5.6    Increased Costs.
(h)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be); or 
(ii)    impose on any Lender or the eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting this Term Loan Agreement or any LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, made by such Lender; 
and the result of either of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, as the case may be, or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand by such Lender on the Borrower (with a copy of such notice and demand to the Administrative Agent), to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(i)    If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital (or on the capital of such Lender’s parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies or the policies of such Lender’s parent corporation with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand by such Lender (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.
(j)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation, as the case may be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.6 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay any such Lender such amount or amounts within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(k)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under this Section 5.6 with respect to any period prior to the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days prior to such demand; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such demand for compensation is retroactive, then such 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the retroactive effect thereof.
5.7    Indemnity.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the Principal Payment Amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loans, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Borrowing Request or the conversion of a Loan to a LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan, or (c) the making of any payment of a LIBOR Loan or Eurodollar Market Index Rate Loan that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Loans.
ARTICLE VI     
COLLATERAL SECURITY
6.1    Security of Borrower.  In accordance with the Security Documents, the Obligations shall at all times be secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral specified in the Security Documents, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents.
6.2    Substitution of Collateral.  The Borrower may, from time to time, replace any Eligible Container included in the Collateral (each, a “Released Container”) with a replacement Container (each, a “Substitute Container”), provided that (A) all of the following conditions are met in connection with such substitution and (B) to the extent any such condition is measured at the end of a calendar quarter, all Containers released or added, as applicable, within such calendar quarter shall be considered on an aggregate basis in determining whether such condition has been satisfied:
(i)    each Substitute Container is an Eligible Container;
(ii)    no Event of Default exists on the date of release of any Released Container or will exist giving effect thereto; 
(iii)    on the date of such substitution, such Substitute Container(s) delivered on such date are comparable to the Released Containers released on such date; that is the Substitute Container(s) are of the same or functionally similar type (e.g., dry cargo containers substituted for dry cargo containers and refrigerated containers substituted for refrigerated containers) as, and having Net Book Values not less than the Net Book Values of, the Released Containers, and which are not otherwise selected by the Borrower using any materially adverse selection criteria; and
(iv)    the sum of the Net Book Values of all Substitute Containers that have been substituted for Released Containers since the Closing Date does not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld), exceed an amount equal to either (1) during any 12-month period, five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance on the Closing Date or (2) during the term of this Term Loan Agreement, twenty percent (20%) of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance on the Closing Date.
The Substitute Container(s) and all the Related Assets shall become Collateral subject to this Term Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement and the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents.  The Borrower shall take all necessary action, and any action that the Collateral Agent reasonably determines is advisable, to protect and perfect the Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Substitute Container(s).  Upon the Collateral Agent’s obtaining a first priority perfected Lien in the Substitute Container(s), the Collateral Agent shall release its Lien in each Released Container and all the Related Assets.
ARTICLE VII     
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Term Loan Agreement and to make Loans as provided for herein, the Borrower makes the following representations, warranties and agreements with the Administrative Agent and Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Term Loan Agreement and the making of Loans.  Such representations and warranties shall be made on the Closing Date and each Drawdown Date:
7.1    Company Status.  The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (a) is a duly organized and validly existing Company in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization except where the failure to be so duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has the Company power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged, except where the failure to have such power and authority, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (c) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (or its equivalent) in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified (or its equivalent) and where the failure to be so qualified, authorized or in good standing, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
7.2    Company Power and Authority.  The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.  The Borrower has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party, and each such Loan Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
7.3    No Violation.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of any of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the compliance by the Borrower with any terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, will (a) contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, to the extent that a Material Adverse Effect could be reasonably expected to result therefrom, (b) conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or (other than pursuant to the Security Documents) result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, term loan agreement or any other agreement, contract or instrument to which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its material property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (c) violate any material provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of limited liability company, limited liability company agreement or equivalent organizational document, as the case may be, of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.
7.4    Litigation.  There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, threatened in writing with respect to (a) any Loan Document or (b) any other matter could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
7.5    Margin Regulations.  No part of any Loan (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.  Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Loan Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Term Loan Agreement is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by, or on behalf of, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Term Loan Agreement will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided; provided, however, that to the extent that any such information was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized assumptions believed by its management to be reasonable at the time made in the preparation of such information (it being understood by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that any financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ from the projected results set forth therein).
7.9    Financial Condition; Financial Statements.
(a)    The consolidated balance sheet of TAL Group and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of TAL Group for the fiscal year ended on such date (the “2013 Audited Financial Statements”), furnished to the Administrative Agent and Lenders prior to the Closing Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of TAL Group and its Consolidated Subsidiaries at the date of said balance sheet and the consolidated results of their operations for the period covered thereby.  The 2013 Audited Financial Statement has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.
(b)    Since December 31, 2013, there has been no change in the business, financial condition or operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (other than the incurrence of Indebtedness under the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and those effected pursuant to the Master Indenture Documents) that could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Security Documents creates as security in the United States for the Obligations covered thereby, a valid and enforceable security interest in and Lien on all of the Collateral subject thereto, without prejudice to any statutory priority rights, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons (other than holders of Permitted Liens), and subject to no other Liens except Permitted Liens.  The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all UCC financing statements in the appropriate offices therefor (or has authenticated and delivered to the Administrative Agent UCC financing statements suitable for filing in such offices) and has taken all of the actions necessary in the United States to create perfected security interests in the Collateral which the Security Documents require the Borrower to take in order to create perfected security interests.

The Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate are each in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder.  No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate in excess of $50,000,000.  The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $50,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $50,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans. 
7.12    Subsidiaries.  As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.  Schedule 4 sets forth, as of the Closing Date, (a) the percentage ownership (direct and indirect) of the Borrower in each class of Capital Stock of each of its Subsidiaries and also identifies the direct owner thereof, (b) the jurisdiction of organization of each such Subsidiary and (c) the classification of each Subsidiary as either a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary.  All outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary of the Borrower has been duly and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable (to the extent applicable in the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary).  TAL Group owns 100% of the Capital Stock of Borrower.
7.13    Compliance with Statutes; Agreements, etc.  The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with (a) all applicable statutes, regulations, rules and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the conduct of its business (including the origination of Leases) and the ownership of its property (excluding applicable statutes, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to environmental standards and controls, which matters are covered under Section 7.14) and (b) all contracts and agreements to which it is a party, except, in each case, such non-compliances as could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect:  (a) each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has complied with all applicable Environmental Laws and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is liable for any penalties, fines or forfeitures for failure to comply with any of the foregoing; (b) there are no pending Environmental Claims or, to the knowledge of any Senior Designated Officer, Environmental Claims threatened in writing against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any property (real or personal) owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including, to the knowledge of any Senior Designated Officer, any such claim arising out of the ownership, lease or operation by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any property (real or personal) formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); and (c) to the knowledge of any Senior Designated Officer, there are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on or arising from any property (real or personal) owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any property (real or personal) formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or relating to the past or present operations of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any such property (real or personal).
7.15    Labor Relations.  There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.  The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or and other applicable federal, state or local law dealing with such matters, except for such violations that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have timely filed (including applicable extensions) with the appropriate taxing authority, all federal and other material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by or with respect to the income, properties or operations of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries.  The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole for the periods covered thereby.  The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have paid all taxes payable by them other than those contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP, or that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
7.17    Existing Indebtedness.  Schedule 5 sets forth all material Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (exclusive of Indebtedness pursuant to the Loan Documents), in each case showing the aggregate principal amount thereof (and the aggregate amount of any undrawn commitments with respect thereto) and the name of the respective borrower and any other entity which guarantees such debt.

(a)    not knowingly use (or knowingly permit the Lessees to use) any Eligible Containers for storage or transportation of contraband in violation of applicable United States law; and

The Administrative Agent reserves the right (but shall not have the obligation) to obtain (x) at Borrower’s expense, insurance with respect to any or all of the foregoing risks if the Borrower shall fail to obtain such coverage in the specified amounts, and (y) at the Lender’s expense, additional insurance on its own behalf with respect to any or all of the foregoing risks (or any other risk).  However, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower prior to obtaining any such insurance.  All insurance maintained by the Borrower for loss or damage of the Eligible Containers shall provide that losses, if any, shall be payable to the Administrative Agent or its designee as sole loss payee, and the Borrower shall utilize its reasonable efforts to have all checks relating to any such losses delivered promptly to Administrative Agent or such other person designated by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of each Lender) shall be named as an additional insured with respect to all such liability insurance maintained by the Borrower directly or through an Affiliate.

ARTICLE XIV     
ADMINISTRATIVE AND COLLATERAL AGENT
14.1    Appointment of Administrative Agent.  Each Lender irrevocably appoints SunTrust Bank as the Administrative Agent and authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under this Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all such actions and powers that are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions set forth in this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, any such sub-agent and any such attorney-in-fact and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
14.2    Nature of Duties of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 16.12), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 16.12) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article XI or Article XII or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
14.3    Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.  Each of the Lenders, acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Term Loan Agreement.  Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking of any action under or based on this Term Loan Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
14.4    Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent.  If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Term Loan Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Term Loan Agreement.
14.5    Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
14.6    The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  The bank serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Term Loan Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “holders of Notes”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  The bank acting as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
14.7    Successor Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval by the Borrower, provided that no Borrower approval shall be required if an Event of Default shall exist at such time.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United States.
(b)    Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  If within forty-five (45) days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section 14.7 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. 
14.8    Authorization to Execute other Loan Documents.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents other than this Term Loan Agreement.
14.9    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 5.1, 16.2 and 16.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that he Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 5.1, 16.2 and 16.3.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
14.10    Collateral Agent.  Each Lender hereby designates SunTrust Bank as Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement. All of the indemnifications, protections or other rights under the provisions of this Article 14 applicable to the Administrative Agent shall be equally applicable to the Person acting as the Collateral Agent.
14.11    Collateral Matters.
(a)    The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, at its option and in its discretion:
(i)    to undertake any proceeding to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 16.11, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and
(ii)    to take the actions with respect to the Collateral and the Guaranty as are set forth in the Security Documents and the Guaranty, respectively.
(b)    The Lenders hereby agree that the Security Documents may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent, in each case, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and that no Lender shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce the Security Documents to realize upon the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lender upon the terms of this Term Loan Agreement and the Security Documents.
(c)    Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property.
14.12    Holders of Notes.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
15.1    General Conditions.  The provisions of this Term Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or Obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.2, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.4 or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.6 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Term Loan Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 15.4, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Term Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
15.2    Assignment by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Term Loan Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:
(a)    except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 and shall be in increments in excess thereof of $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(b)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Term Loan Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, it being understood that non-pro-rata assignments of or among any of the Commitments and Loans are not permitted;
(c)    any assignment of a Commitment or Loan must be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is an Eligible Assignee, in which case such consent of Borrower shall be required only to the extent set forth in the definition of “Eligible Assignee”); provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and 
(d)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 15.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Term Loan Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Term Loan Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Term Loan Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Term Loan Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.2(b), 5.6, and 16.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  The Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Term Loan Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Term Loan Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 15.4.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay to the Eligible Assignee any amount under Section 5.2(b) that is greater than the amount that the Borrower would have been obligated to pay such Eligible Assignee’s assignor if such assigning Lender had not assigned to such Eligible Assignee any of its rights under this Term Loan Agreement, unless (i) the circumstances giving rise to such greater payments did not exist at the time of such assignment, or (ii) the Borrower consented to the assignment to such Eligible Assignee.
15.3    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and Principal Balance owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Term Loan Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.
15.4    Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Term Loan Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans owing to it); provided, that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Term Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (c) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Term Loan Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Term Loan Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Term Loan Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Loan, extend the term or increase the amount of the Commitment of such Lender as it relates to such Participant or extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest.  Subject to Section 15.5, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.2(b), 5.6 and 16.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.2.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 16.1 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 15.4 to a Participant shall record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and the amount of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such participation.
15.5    Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.2(b), 5.6 and 16.3 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.2(b) unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.2(c) as though it were a Lender.
15.6    Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Term Loan Agreement (including under its Note) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other applicable central bank or Governmental Authority; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
15.7    Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
15.8    Participant Register.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Term Loan Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
ARTICLE XVI     
PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATIONS
16.1    Setoff.  The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all Obligations to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any Lender Affiliate and their successors and assigns or in transit to any of them.  Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, if any of the Obligations are due and payable and have not been paid or any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any of the Lenders to Borrower and any securities or other property of Borrower in the possession of such Lender may be applied to or set off by the Administrative Agent against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower to such Lender hereunder.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER IS HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender (a) to apply all amounts collected from any such set-off to the Obligations before applying such amounts to any other Indebtedness or other obligations owed by the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries to such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Notes held by such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make arrangements with the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders with respect to such excess in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5.
16.2    Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this Term Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) the reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s Special Counsel and any local counsel to the Administrative Agent actually incurred in connection with the preparation, syndication, administration, or interpretation of or due diligence related to the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein (regardless of whether the term loan facility is closed), each closing hereunder, any amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, or the cancellation of any Loan Document upon payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations or pursuant to any terms of such Loan Document providing for such cancellation, (c) the reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates actually incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate in connection with the preparation, syndication, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, (d) any reasonable and documented fees, costs, expenses and bank charges, including bank charges for returned checks, incurred by the Administrative Agent in establishing, maintaining or handling agency accounts, lock box accounts and other accounts for the collection of any of the Collateral, (e) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and costs, and reasonable and documented consulting, accounting, audit, due diligence, field examination, investment banking and similar professional fees and charges) actually incurred by the Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent in connection with (x) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or TAL Group or the administration thereof after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (y) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to the Administrative Agent’s relationship with the Borrower, provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Borrower shall only be obligated to pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of (1) one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this clause (e) (to the extent such Lenders are not conflicted with the Administrative Agent in any proceeding described in or resulting from any circumstance described in this clause (e)) and (2) separate counsel for each Lender that is conflicted with the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (e); and (f) all reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of Collateral Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches, UCC filings, or mortgage recordings.  The covenants contained in this Section 16.2 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.
16.3    Indemnification.
(a)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including (A) special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages or any liabilities actually incurred or paid by any Indemnitee to a third party that does not also have rights as an Indemnitee under this Section 16.3 and (B) subject to the final proviso in this paragraph, the fees, charges and disbursements of any external counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, an Indemnitee as a result of conduct of any Loan Party that violates a sanction enforced by OFAC or (v) any actual claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (and, upon any such determination, any indemnification payments with respect to such indemnified matter or related costs and expenses previously received by such Indemnitee shall be promptly reimbursed by such Indemnitee), or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Borrower shall only be obligated to pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of (x) one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (to the extent such Lenders are not conflicted with the Administrative Agent in any proceeding described in or resulting from any circumstance described in clauses (i) through (v) above) and (y) separate counsel for each Lender that is conflicted with the Administrative Agent in any proceeding described in or resulting from any circumstance described in clauses (i) through (v) above.
(b)    The Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and Other Taxes with respect to this Term Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.
(c)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent, under clauses (a) or (b) hereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified payment, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.
(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Borrower, TAL Group, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Indemnitee shall assert, and each of such Persons hereby waives, any claim against any other of such Persons, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages or any liabilities based upon any theory of lost profits (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Term Loan Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Indemnitee that is entitled to indemnification under Section 16.3(a) for any such damages or liabilities from seeking indemnification for such liabilities (to the extent paid to a third party that does not also have rights as an Indemnitee under this Section 16.3) from the Borrower thereunder.
(e)    All amounts due under this Section 16.3 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.
(f)    The agreements in this Section 16.3 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
16.4    Treatment of Certain Confidential Information.
(a)    Confidentiality.  Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives, to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, any information supplied to it by, or on behalf of, the Borrower pursuant to this Term Loan Agreement; provided, that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information: (i) after such information shall have become public other than through a violation of this Section 16.4, or becomes available to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process; (iii) to counsel for any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent; (iv) to bank examiners or any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or to auditors or accountants; (v) to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Financial Affiliate; (vi) in connection with any litigation to which any one or more of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any Financial Affiliate is a party, or in connection with the enforcement of rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (vii) to a Lender Affiliate or a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Administrative Agent; (viii) to any actual or prospective assignee or participant or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transactions referenced to credit or other risks or events arising under this Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as such assignee, participant or counterparty, as the case may be, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.3; (ix) to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its Obligations; or (x) with the prior written consent of the Borrower.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Financial Affiliates agrees not to use any information supplied to it by, or on behalf, of the Borrower pursuant to this Term Loan Agreement for any purpose or in any manner other that evaluating the performance of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereunder and enforcing the rights, remedies and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall, prior to disclosure thereof, notify the Borrower of any request for disclosure of any such information by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination by such governmental agency of any Lender or the Administrative Agent) or pursuant to legal process.
(c)    Other.  In no event shall any Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished to it or any Financial Affiliate by the Borrower.  The obligations of each Lender under this Section 16.4 shall supersede and replace the obligations of such Lender under any confidentiality letter in respect of this financing signed and delivered by such Lender to the Borrower prior to the date hereof and shall be binding upon any assignee of, or purchaser of any participation in, any interest in any of the Loans from any Lender.
16.5    Survival of Covenants, etc.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any Loans as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Term Loan Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans and for such further time as may be otherwise expressly specified in this Term Loan Agreement.

16.12    Consents, Amendments, Waivers, Etc.
Any consent or approval required or permitted by this Term Loan Agreement to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Term Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower of any terms of this Term Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Borrower and the written consent of the Required Lenders (unless otherwise specifically provided).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or waiver shall:
(a)    without the written consent of the Borrower and each Lender directly affected thereby:
(i)    reduce, delay or forgive the payment or repayment when due of any Principal Payment Amount, the outstanding Principal Balances of any Loans or any Fees or other amounts payable to any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document or reduce the amount or rate of interest (or fees) on the Loans or the priority thereof (other than interest at the Post-Default Rate accruing before or after the date of any waiver by the Required Lenders of the Event of Default relating thereto);
(ii)    increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment or extend the expiration date of such Lender’s Commitment;
(iii)    postpone or extend the Maturity Date or any other regularly scheduled dates for payments of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or other amounts payable to such Lender (it being understood that (A) a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 5.10, and (B) any vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to Section 13.1 of amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other Obligations shall require only the approval of the Required Lenders); 
(iv)    other than pursuant to a Permitted Securitization or any other transaction not prohibited by the terms of this Term Loan Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Collateral (excluding, if the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower becomes a debtor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other applicable insolvency laws, the release of “cash collateral”, as defined in Section 363(a) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provision of any applicable insolvency law pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the debtor approved by the Required Lenders); and
(v)    change the pro rata nature of payments to and from a Lender.
(b)    without the written consent of all of the Lenders, amend or waive this Section 16.12, any other provision of this Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document that expressly requires the consent of all of the Lenders, the definitions of “Eligible Container”, “Required Lenders”, “Borrowing Base”, “Aggregate Net Book Value”, “Advance Rate” or “Pro Rata Share”, or the first sentence of Section 4.1(a);
(c)    without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, amend or waive Article 14, the amount or time of payment of any Fee payable for the Administrative Agent’s account or any other provision applicable to the Administrative Agent; or
(d)    without the written consent of all the Lenders, release TAL Group from the Guaranty.
No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon.  No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.  No notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
16.13    Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 5.6, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 5.4 or 5.5, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.2(b), (iv) any Lender does not consent (or fails to respond) to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver to any provision of this Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Borrower, (v) the Borrower reasonably determines that any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender is a Competitor, or (vi) the Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 15.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Term Loan Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that:
(i)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 15.2;
(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.7) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.6 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(b), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.
(b)    In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to the replaced Lender, then such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(c)    If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 5.6, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 5.4 or 5.5, or (iii) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.2(b), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 5.6, enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 5.4 or 5.5, or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.2(b), as the case may be, in the future.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.
16.14    Severability.  The provisions of this Term Loan Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Term Loan Agreement in any jurisdiction.
16.15    USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TAL INTERNATIONAL CONTAINER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to ____________ or its registered assigns (the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, at the office of SunTrust Bank (the “Administrative Agent”), initially located at 303 Peachtree Street, N. E./ 25th Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30308, on the Maturity Date the principal sum of _____________ DOLLARS ($_____) or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by the Lender pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement.
The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof in like money at said office from the date hereof until paid at the rates and at the times provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Term Loan Agreement. The Borrower promises to pay interest, on demand, on any overdue principal and fees and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest from their due dates at a rate or rates determined as set forth in the Term Loan Agreement.  The Borrower promises to pay the principal amount hereof as set forth in the Term Loan Agreement.
The Borrower hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind whatsoever. The non-exercise by the holder of any of its rights hereunder in any particular instance shall not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any subsequent instance. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Effective Date and at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on this Promissory Note (the “Note”), an appropriate notation on this Note’s Record reflecting the making of the related Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on such Record shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Notes to make payments of principal of or interest on any of the Notes when due.
This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Term Loan Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2014, among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (including the Lender), the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”), and is entitled to the benefits thereof and of the other Loan Documents. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the meanings set forth in the Term Loan Agreement. This Note is secured by the Security Documents. This Note is subject to voluntary prepayment and mandatory repayment prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, as provided in the Term Loan Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Note, on the one hand, and the Term Loan Agreement, on the other hand, the Term Loan Agreement shall control.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of and accrued interest on this Note may become or be declared to be due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Term Loan Agreement.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT OTHERWISE EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW).

SECURITY AGREEMENT
SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of April 2, 2014, made by TAL INTERNATIONAL CONTAINER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Debtor”) in favor of SUNTRUST BANK, as administrative agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined below) (in such capacity and (in either case) together with any successor administrative agent, the “Collateral Agent”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Debtor, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”) and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Inc., as Lead Arranger, have entered into a Term Loan Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2014, providing for the making of Loans to the Debtor (as used herein, the term “Term Loan Agreement” means the Term Loan Agreement described above in this paragraph, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented and/or refinanced from time to time, and including any agreement extending the maturity of, or refinancing or restructuring (including, but not limited to, the inclusion of additional obligors or guarantors thereunder or any increase in the amount borrowed) of all or any portion of, the Secured Obligations under such Term Loan Agreement);
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the making of Loans to the Debtor under the Term Loan Agreement that the Debtor shall have executed and delivered this Agreement to the Collateral Agent; and
WHEREAS, the Debtor will obtain benefits from the incurrence of Loans under the Term Loan Agreement and, accordingly, desires to execute this Agreement in order to satisfy the conditions described in the preceding recitals and to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the Debtor;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits accruing to the Debtor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Debtor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and hereby covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as follows:
ARTICLE I 
SECURITY INTERESTS
1.1.    Grant of Security Interests.  Debtor does hereby grant unto the Collateral Agent in its capacity solely as collateral agent for the equal and ratable benefit of the Secured Creditors, as security for the prompt payment and performance when due of all of the Secured Obligations, a continuing security interest in all of the right, title and interest of the Debtor in, to and under all of the following personal property (and all rights therein) of the Debtor, or in which or to which the Debtor has any rights, in each case whether now existing or hereafter from time to time acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”):
(a)    All marine and maritime shipping containers (including dry, cargo containers, refrigerated containers (including the associated generation sets, GPS units and refrigeration units), tank containers, special purpose containers and cellular pallet wide containers) listed on Schedule 1 to this Agreement (as such Schedule 1 shall be amended and supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Agreement), including all additions to, substitutes therefor and replacements thereof (including all Substitute Containers) made from time to time by the Debtor in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Agreement (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Containers”);
(b)    all Related Assets with respect to such Containers;
(c)    all Accounts, Chattel Paper, General Intangibles, Instruments and Inventory, in each case to the extent (but only to the extent) that such items relate to any such Containers;
(d)    all proceeds and rights under any Lease and related agreements, including rentals, termination rights, rights to compel performance and guarantees, in each case to the extent (but only to the extent) that such items relate to any such Containers;
(e)    all insurance proceeds and other proceeds from dispositions, in each case to the extent (but only to the extent) that such items relate to any such Containers;
(f)    all condemnation and confiscation awards, in each case to the extent (but only to the extent) that such items relate to any such Containers; 
(g)    any Collateral Account and all monies, securities, Instruments and other investments deposited or required to be deposited in any Collateral Account; and
(h)    to the extent not otherwise included above, all Accessions, income, payments, Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing.
On each Drawdown Date and thereafter simultaneously with the delivery of each Borrowing Base and Equipment Report in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Term Loan Agreement, the Debtor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an update to Schedule 1 that reflects all additional Containers that have become subject to the Lien created by this Agreement and all Containers that have been released from the Lien created by this Agreement.
1.2.    Power of Attorney.  The Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with full power after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default (in the name of the Debtor or otherwise) to act, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due or to become due to the Debtor under or arising out of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Secured Creditors, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an interest.
1.3.    Authority to File Financing Statements.  The Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, at any time, and from time to time, to file any initial financing statements (and amendments thereto) without the signature of the Debtor that (a) indicate the Collateral, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, and (b) provide any other information required for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment.  The Debtor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to have filed with such offices any amendments to the financing statements or documents of similar import described above.
ARTICLE II 
GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
The Debtor represents, warrants and covenants on the Closing Date and each Funding Date as follows:
2.1.    Necessary Filings.  The Debtor has filed or caused to be filed all UCC-1 and UCC-3 financing statements (collectively, the “Financing Statements”) in the filing office in the State of Delaware (the Debtor’s jurisdiction of organization) (or has authenticated and delivered to the Collateral Agent the Financing Statements suitable for filing in such offices), and the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement in and to the Collateral create valid and, together with all such filings, registrations, recordings and other actions, perfected security interests (to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected solely by the filing of financing statements under the relevant UCC) therein prior to the rights of all other Persons therein (other than holders of Permitted Liens) and subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens related thereto).  In addition, the Debtor shall comply with the terms and provisions of the UNIDROIT Convention or any other internationally recognized system for recording interests in or liens against shipping containers at the time that such convention is adopted by the container leasing industry.
2.2.    No Liens.  The Debtor is, and as to all Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof the Debtor will be, the owner of all Collateral free from any Lien, security interest, encumbrance or other right, title or interest of any Person (other than holders of Permitted Liens), and the Debtor shall defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons (other than holders of Permitted Liens) at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent.
2.3.    Other Financing Statements.  There is no financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Collateral (other than financing statements filed in respect of Permitted Liens), and the Debtor will not execute or authorize to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) or statements relating to the Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted hereby by the Debtor or in connection with Permitted Liens or financing statements for which proper termination statements have been delivered to the Collateral Agent for filing.
2.4.    Chief Executive Office.  During the five year period preceding the date of this Agreement, the chief executive office of the Debtor has not been located at any address other than that indicated on Annex A.
2.5.    Legal Names; Type of Organization (and Whether a Registered Organization or a Transmitting Utility); Jurisdiction of Organization; Location; Organizational Identification Numbers; Changes Thereto; etc.  The exact legal name of the Debtor, the type of organization of the Debtor, whether or not the Debtor is a Registered Organization, the jurisdiction of organization of the Debtor, the Debtor’s Location, the organizational identification number (if any) of the Debtor, and whether or not the Debtor is a Transmitting Utility, is listed on Annex B hereto (as the same may be updated from time to time for changes made that are not prohibited by the Loan Documents).  The Debtor shall not change its legal name, its type of organization, its status as a Registered Organization (in the case of a Registered Organization), its status as a Person which is not a Transmitting Utility, its jurisdiction of organization, its Location, or its organizational identification number (if any) from that used on Annex B hereto, except that any such changes shall be permitted (so long as not in violation of the applicable requirements of the Loan Documents and so long as same do not involve (x) a Registered Organization ceasing to constitute same or (y) the Debtor changing its jurisdiction of organization or Location from the United States or a State thereof to a jurisdiction of organization or Location, as the case may be, outside the United States) if (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of each change to the information listed on Annex B (as adjusted for any subsequent changes thereto previously made in accordance with this sentence), together with a supplement to Annex B which shall correct all information contained therein for the Debtor, and (ii) in connection with the respective such change or changes, it shall have taken all action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect.  In addition, to the extent that the Debtor does not have an organizational identification number on the date hereof and later obtains one, the Debtor shall promptly thereafter notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number (to the extent such organizational identification number is required to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interests hereunder) and shall take all actions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to the extent necessary to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect.
2.6.    Trade Names; Etc.  The Debtor has not in the five years preceding the date of this Agreement operated in any jurisdiction under any trade names, fictitious names or other names except its legal name as specified in Annex B and such other trade or fictitious names as are listed on Annex C hereto.
2.7.    Certain Significant Transactions.  During the one year period preceding the date of this Agreement, no Person shall have merged or consolidated with or into the Debtor, and no Person shall have liquidated into, or transferred all or substantially all of its assets to, the Debtor, in each case except as described in Annex D hereto.  With respect to any transactions so described in Annex D hereto, the Debtor shall have furnished such information with respect to the Person (and the assets of the Person and locations thereof) which merged with or into or consolidated with the Debtor, or was liquidated into or transferred all or substantially all of its assets to the Debtor, and shall have furnished to the Collateral Agent such UCC Lien searches as may have been reasonably requested with respect to such Person and its assets, to establish that no security interest (excluding Permitted Liens) continues perfected on the date hereof with respect to any Person described above with respect to any Collateral, including without limitation pursuant to Section 9-316(a)(3) of the UCC.
2.8.    Non-UCC Property.  None of the Collateral is of the types described in Section 9-311(a) of the UCC.
2.9.    Recourse.  This Agreement is made with full recourse to the Debtor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of the Debtor contained herein and in the Loan Documents.
2.10.    As-Extracted Collateral; Timber-to-be-Cut.  None of the Collateral constitutes, or would constitute, As-Extracted Collateral or Timber-to-be-Cut.
ARTICLE III 
SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING ACCOUNTS; CONTRACT RIGHTS; INSTRUMENTS; CHATTEL PAPER AND CERTAIN OTHER COLLATERAL
3.1.    Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties; etc  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent so directs the Debtor, the Debtor agrees (a) to cause all payments on account of the Accounts and Contracts constituting, arising out of, or relating to, the Collateral to be made directly to the Collateral Account, (b) that the Collateral Agent may, at its option, directly notify the obligors with respect to any such Accounts or under any such Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding clause (a), and (c) that the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Accounts and any such Contracts and may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Debtor.  Without notice to or assent by the Debtor, the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply any or all amounts then in, or thereafter deposited in, a Collateral Account toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner provided in Section 5.4 of this Agreement.  The reasonable costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred, whether incurred by the Debtor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the Debtor.  The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in the preceding clause (b) to the Debtor; provided, that (i) the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify the Debtor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.1 and (ii) no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default described in paragraph (h) of Section 13.1 of the Term Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing.
3.2.    Collection.  The Debtor shall endeavor in accordance with its customary business practices to cause to be collected from the account debtor named in each of its Accounts constituting Collateral or obligor under any Lease constituting, arising out of, or relating to the Collateral, as and when due (including, without limitation, amounts which are delinquent, such amounts to be collected in accordance with generally accepted lawful collection procedures) any and all amounts owing under or on account of such Account or Lease, and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Account or under such Lease.  Except as otherwise directed by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Debtor may allow, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the terms of the Credit and Collection Policy in effect from time to time, as adjustments to amounts owing under its Accounts and Leases (a) an extension or renewal of the time or times of payment, or settlement for less than the total unpaid balance, which the Debtor finds appropriate in accordance with its business judgment and (b) a refund or credit due as a result of improperly performed services or for other reasons which the Debtor finds appropriate in accordance with reasonable business judgment.  The reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of collection actually incurred, whether incurred by the Debtor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the Debtor.
3.3.    Debtor Remains Liable Under Contracts and Leases.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Debtor shall remain liable under each of the Contracts and Leases which arise out of, or relate to, any of the Collateral to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions of each such Contract or Lease.

ARTICLE IV 
PROVISIONS CONCERNING ALL COLLATERAL
4.1.    Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security.  Except as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, Debtor will do nothing to impair the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral.  The Debtor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of the Debtor to pay the Secured Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to the Debtor.
4.2.    Warehouse Receipts Non-Negotiable.  To the extent practicable, the Debtor agrees that if any warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature of a warehouse receipt is issued with respect to any of the Collateral, the Debtor shall request that such warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature thereof shall not be “negotiable” (as such term is used in Section 7‐104 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction or under other relevant law).
4.3.    Additional Information.  In addition to the information to be provided by the Debtor to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Term Loan Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Debtor will, at its own expense, from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the respective request) furnish to the Collateral Agent such information with respect to the Collateral (including the terms of any Lease to which any Container is then subject and the scheduled expiration date and permitted drop-off locations under such Lease) as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.  Without limiting the forgoing, the Debtor agrees that it shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the respective request) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default furnish to the Collateral Agent such updated Annexes hereto as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.  
4.4.    Finance Leases.

(i)    if the Lessee’s Location is within the United States of America, then file in the appropriate filing office a UCC financing statement naming the Lessee as debtor/lessee, the Debtor as lessor/secured party, and the related Eligible Containers as the collateral; or 
(ii)     if the Lessee’s Location is not within the United State of America, then the Debtor shall file with the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia a UCC financing statement naming the Lessee as debtor/lessee, the Debtor as lessor/secured party, and the related Eligible Containers as the collateral.
4.5.    Financing Statements.  The Debtor agrees to authenticate and deliver to the Collateral Agent such financing statements or other documents, in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request or as are reasonably necessary in the opinion of the Collateral Agent to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest in the Collateral as provided herein (to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected solely by the filing of financing statements under the relevant UCC) and the other rights and security contemplated hereby.  The Debtor will pay any applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its Collateral.  
4.6.    Software.  The Debtor shall not create or attempt to create, assume or permit to subsist any Lien or other encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) upon any Software owned by it (including the Container Management System) or any of its Software licenses.

ARTICLE V 
REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT
5.1.    Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon An Event of Default.  The Debtor agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Collateral Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law and under the other provisions of this Agreement, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under any UCC, and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured creditor is entitled under the laws in effect in all relevant jurisdictions and may:
(a)    subject to the right of any applicable Lessee to the right of quiet enjoyment of such property described in the related Lease, personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from the Debtor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon the Debtor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Debtor;
(b)    instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the Accounts, Leases and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of the Debtor in respect of such Collateral;
(c)    sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof, or direct the Debtor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case, take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;
(d)    take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the Debtor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event the Debtor shall at its own expense:
(i)    forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the Collateral Agent;
(ii)    store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.2 hereof; and
(iii)    while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain it in good condition;
(e)    apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4; and
(f)    take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of Section 9-607(a) of the UCC;
it being understood that the Debtor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the Debtor of said obligation.
5.2.    Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then any Collateral repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable.  Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the Debtor which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable.  Any such sale, lease or other disposition may be effected by means of a public disposition or private disposition, effected in accordance with the applicable requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of Sections 9-610 through 9-613 of the UCC and/or such other mandatory requirements of applicable law as may apply to the respective disposition.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private disposition or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the disposition, and such disposition may be made at any time or place to which the disposition may be so adjourned.  To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Secured Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 5.2 without accountability to the Debtor.  If, under applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be permitted to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the Debtor as hereinabove specified, the Collateral Agent need give the Debtor only such notice of disposition as shall be required by such applicable law.  The Debtor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Debtor’s expense.
5.3.    Waiver of Claims.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, THE DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES.  In addition, the Debtor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:
(a)    all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any damages which arise from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision);
(b)    all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and
(c)    all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and the Debtor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the Debtor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Debtor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under the Debtor.
5.4.    Application of Proceeds.  (a) All moneys collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale or other disposition of any Collateral pursuant to the enforcement of this Agreement or the exercise of any of the remedial provisions of the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with all other moneys received by the Collateral Agent hereunder in respect of the Collateral (including all monies received in respect of post-petition interest) as a result of any such enforcement or the exercise of any such remedial provisions or as a result of any distribution of any Collateral upon the bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the readjustment of the obligations and indebtedness of the Debtor, or the application of any Collateral to the payment thereof or any distribution of Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Debtor, or the winding up of the assets or business of the Debtor or under any insurance policies insuring any of the Collateral, shall be applied as follows:
(iv)    first, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for, or in respect of, all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under this Term Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent against any taxes or Liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to such monies; 
(v)    second, on a pro rata basis based upon amounts due, to the payment of interest and Fees payable by Debtor pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Agreement;
(vi)    third, on a pro rata basis based upon amounts due, to the payment of the then Aggregate Note Principal Balance;
(vii)    fourth, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of all remaining Secured Obligations; 
(viii)    fifth, to the payment of any obligations required to be paid pursuant to Section 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York; and
(ix)    sixth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
(b)    All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Creditors.
(c)    For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 5.4, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Administrative Agent.
(d)    It is understood that the Debtor shall remain liable with respect to its Secured Obligations to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral granted by it hereunder and the amount of such Secured Obligations.
5.5.    Remedies Cumulative.  Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent.  All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others.  No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Secured Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence thereof.  No notice to or demand on the Debtor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.  In the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, actually incurred in such enforcement, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.
5.6.    Discontinuance of Proceedings.  In case the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the Debtor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Secured Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

7.7.    Debtor’s Duties.  It is expressly agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, that the Debtor shall remain liable to perform all of the obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligations or liabilities with respect to any Collateral by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Debtor under or with respect to any Collateral.
7.8.    Termination; Release.  
(a)    After the date upon which all of the Secured Obligations have been permanently paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate and the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the Debtor, will promptly execute and deliver to the Debtor a proper instrument or instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements on Form UCC-3 or its equivalent) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Debtor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement.  
(b)    So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, upon (i) the sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral or any substitution of any Containers constituting any part of the Collateral that is permitted by the Loan Documents or that is otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders (or such higher percentage as may be required pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Agreement), (ii) the use of any Proceeds in connection with the acquisition of any property or to pay any fees, costs and expenses of any Person, or (iii) the release of any part of the Collateral at the direction of the Collateral Agent, such Collateral shall automatically be released from the Lien of this Agreement, and the Lien of this Agreement shall be terminated with respect to such Collateral, and such Collateral shall automatically be assigned, transferred and conveyed to the applicable Debtor by the Collateral Agent.
(c)    Upon and after any and all releases contemplated in clauses (a) and (b) above, at the request and at the sole reasonable cost and expense of the Debtor, the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver such documentation, including termination or partial release statements and the like (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) to evidence such release or otherwise in connection therewith; provided, that upon request of the Collateral Agent, the Debtor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a Senior Designated Officer of the Debtor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to such Section 9.8(a) or (b).
(d)    The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Collateral Agent in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct believes to be in accordance with) this Section 7.8 and the Loan Documents.
7.9.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Debtor and the Collateral Agent.  Execution and delivery of this Agreement by facsimile signature shall constitute execution and delivery of this Agreement for all purposes hereof with the same force and effect as execution and delivery of a manually signed copy hereof.
7.10.    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
7.11.    The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors.  The Collateral Agent will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement.
