(e)   If the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower   requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring   after the date hereof in GAAP or in  application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if   the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Majority Lenders request an amendment                                         38   

 

      to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before    or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be    interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall    have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended    in accordance herewith.          Section 103 Computation of Time Periods.  Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement,   in the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word   “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding.”          Section 104 General Interpretive Principles.  For purposes of this Agreement except as   otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:                 (a)   the defined terms in this Agreement shall include the plural as well as the    singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include any other gender;                 (b)   references herein to “Articles”, “Sections”, “Subsections”, “paragraphs”,    and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections,    Subsections, paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement;                 (c)   a reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a    reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears,    and this rule shall also apply to paragraphs and other subdivisions;                 (d)   the words “herein”, “hereof’, “hereunder” and other words of similar    import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision;                 (e)   the term “include” or “including” shall mean without limitation by reason    of enumeration; and                 (f)   When referring to Section 302 or Section 806 of this Agreement, the term    “or” shall be additive and not exclusive.

References in this Agreement to any section of the   Uniform Commercial Code or the UCC shall mean, on or after the effective date of adoption of   any revision to the Uniform Commercial Code or the UCC in the applicable jurisdiction, such   revised or successor section thereto.                                     ARTICLE II                                                                          SECURITY INTEREST         To secure the payment of all Outstanding Obligations and the performance of all of the  Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents, the  Borrower hereby grants, assigns, conveys, mortgages, pledges, hypothecates and transfers to the  Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and to all of the   Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether now existing or hereafter   created or acquired: (i) the Managed Containers (including any and all substitutions therefor                                          39    

 

   acquired from time to time) and other Transferred Assets, (ii) the Distribution Account, the  Restricted Cash Account, the Revenue Reserve Account and all amounts and Eligible Investments,  Financial Assets, Investment Property, Securities Entitlements and all other instruments, assets or  amounts credited to any of the foregoing or otherwise on deposit from time to time in the foregoing,  (iii) the Contribution and Sale Agreement, the First-Tier Contribution and Sale Agreement, all  Hedge Agreements, the Management Agreement and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement, and  (iv) all of the following, whether now existing or hereafter acquired:                 (a)   All Accounts;                (b)   All Chattel Paper;                (c)   All Lease Agreements;                (d)   All Contracts;                (e)   All Documents;                (f)   All General Intangibles;                (g)   All Instruments;                (h)   All Inventory;                (i)   All Supporting Obligations;                (j)   All Equipment and all Goods;                (k)   All Letter-of-Credit Rights;                (l)   All Commercial Tort Claims;                (m)   All Investment Property;                (n)   All Deposit Accounts;                (o)   All property of the Borrower held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit   of the Secured Parties, including, without limitation, all property of every description now or   hereafter in the possession or custody of or in transit to the Collateral Agent for any purpose,   including, without limitation, safekeeping, collection or pledge, for the account of the Borrower,   or as to which the Borrower may have any right or power;                (p)   To the extent not included above and without limiting the foregoing, all   Chattel Paper, all Leases and all schedules, supplements, amendments, modifications, renewals,   extensions, and guarantees thereof in every case whether now owned or hereafter acquired and   all amounts, rentals, proceeds and other sums of money due and to become due under the   Container Related Agreements, including (in each case only to the extent related to the Managed   Containers), without limitation, (i) all rentals, payments and other monies, including all   insurance payments and claims for losses due and to become due to the Borrower under, and all                                         40   

 

    claims for damages arising out of the breach of, any Container Related Agreement; (ii) the right   of the Borrower to terminate, perform under, or compel performance of the terms of the   Container Related Agreements; (iii) any guarantee of the Container Related Agreements and (iv)   any rights of the Borrower in respect of any subleases or assignments permitted under the   Container Related Agreements;                 (q)   All insurance proceeds of the Collateral and all proceeds of the voluntary   or involuntary disposition of the Collateral or such proceeds;                (r)   Any and all payments made or due to the Borrower in connection with   any requisition, confiscation, condemnation, seizure or forfeiture of all or any part of the   Collateral by any Governmental Authority and any other cash or non-cash receipts from the sale,   exchange, collection or other disposition of the Collateral;                 (s)   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Collateral   Agreement, all of the Borrower’s Combined Fleet Interest from time to time on deposit in the   Collection Account and the Proceeds thereof; and                (t)   To the extent not otherwise included, all income and Proceeds of each of   the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and   products of each of the foregoing.   All of the property described in this Article II is herein collectively called the “Collateral” and as  such is security for all Outstanding Obligations; provided that notwithstanding anything to the  contrary in this Agreement, Collateral shall not include monies paid to the Borrower under this  Agreement, including monies received by the Borrower pursuant to Section 302 or Section 806;  provided further, that  notwithstanding the foregoing Grant, (i) no account, instrument, chattel  paper or other obligation or property of any kind due from, owed by, or belonging to, a Sanctioned  Person, and (ii) no Lease in which the Lessee is a Sanctioned Person, shall, in either instance,  constitute Collateral.    Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, and each Secured Party agrees that the terms of the  foregoing Grant are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor  Collateral Agreement.   The Collateral Agent acknowledges such Grant, accepts the trusts hereunder in accordance with  the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform the duties herein required as hereinafter provided.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent does not assume, and shall have no liability  to perform, any of the Borrower’s obligations under any agreement included in the Collateral and  shall have no liability arising from the failure of the Borrower or any other Person to duly perform  any such obligations.   The Borrower consents to and confirms that any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements  filed against the Borrower may describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” (or  any other words of similar effect) of the Borrower.   The Loans and the interest and other amounts payable thereon shall be full recourse obligations of  the Borrower and shall be secured by all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in the Collateral.                                         41   

 

   The Loans shall never constitute obligations of the Collateral Agent, the Manager, the Seller or of  any shareholder or any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Borrower) or any member of the  Borrower, or any officers, directors, employees or agents of any thereof, and no recourse may be  had under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Agreement, or for any claim based  thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, against any incorporator or against any past, present, or  future owner, partner of an owner or any officer, employee or director thereof or of any successor  entity, or any other Person, either directly or through the Borrower, whether by virtue of any  constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or  otherwise; it being expressly agreed that this Agreement and the obligations issued hereunder are  solely obligations of the Borrower, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or  is or shall be incurred by, any other Person under or by reason of this Agreement or implied  therefrom, or for any claim based thereon or in respect thereof, all such liability and any and all  such claims being hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration  for, the execution of this Agreement. No Person other than the Borrower shall be liable for any  obligation of the Borrower hereunder or for any losses incurred by any Lender.                                    ARTICLE III                                                                            THE LOANS         Section 301 Principal Terms of the Loans.                (a)   Funding Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in   this Agreement, each Lender hereby confirms its commitment to fund Loans up to an aggregate   amount of unpaid Loans owing to such Lender and each Conduit Lender in an amount not to   exceed the lesser of (i) its Availability of such Lender on such date and (ii) the Commitment of   such Lender as set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule II hereto (as such   schedule may be updated from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).    The facility evidenced by this Agreement is a revolving credit facility and accordingly the   Borrower may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, re-borrow any amounts   repaid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.                  (b)   Conduit Funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section   301(a), a Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may fund all or a portion of its investment in the Loans   by transferring all, or portion of, its investment to its designated Conduit Lender; provided that   (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any Conduit Lender to fund any Loan and   (ii) if any Conduit Lender elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any   part of such Loan, the related Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to   the terms hereof.  The funding of any Loan by a Conduit Lender hereunder shall utilize the   Commitment of its related Granting Lender to the same extent that, and as if, such Loan was   funded by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Lender   shall be responsible for allocating in its sole discretion its investment in the Loans between such   Lender and its related Conduit Lender (if any) and the Lender record of such allocation shall be   conclusive.                (c)   Funding Notice.  On the terms and conditions set forth herein, the   Borrower may submit to the Administrative Agent a funding notice, substantially in the form of                                         42   

 

                Exhibit H hereto (a “Funding Notice”) requesting that each Lender make a Loan to the Borrower.   The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders of receipt of such Funding  Notice and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Loan.  Each such Funding Notice shall  be submitted to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested  Funding Date.  Any Funding Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 am  (New York time) on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on such Business  Day and any Funding Notice received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be  deemed received on the following Business Day.               (d)   Loan Procedures.  On each day prior to the Conversion Date, and subject  to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender (or, if applicable, the  Conduit Lender in its Related Group, if such Conduit Lender elects, in its sole discretion, to  make such Loan) shall make a Loan on the requested Funding Date in an amount equal to its Pro  Rata Share of the amount set forth in the corresponding Funding Notice; provided, however, that  a Delaying Lender may elect to deliver a Delaying Funding Notice with respect to such Loan  Advance in accordance with Section 301(m) hereof.  Each Loan by each Lender (or, if  applicable, the Conduit Lender in its Related Group, if such Conduit Lender elects, in its sole  discretion, to make such Loan) shall be for an amount (A) not less than the lesser of (x) its then  unused Commitment and (y) One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), and (B) not greater  than the Availability of such Lender on the applicable Funding Date.  In the event that any  Defaulting Lender fails to make a Loan in accordance with its Commitment, the other Lenders  shall not be obligated to fund the Pro Rata Share of the Defaulting Lender(s).  Except as  otherwise provided in Section 301(m) for a Delaying Lender, the failure of any Lender or a  member of its Related Group to make a Loan shall not impose an obligation on any other non- Defaulting Lender or member of its Related Group to make a Loan of such shortfall.                (e)   Records.  A duly authorized officer or representative of each Lender shall  make appropriate notations on its books and records to reflect its Pro Rata Share of payments  received by it in reduction of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance.  The Borrower hereby  authorizes each duly authorized officer of each Lender to make such notations on its books and  records as aforesaid (provided that any failure by such officer or representative of a Lender to  make any such notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any Loan). Upon  the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute  and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a note, which shall evidence such  Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to  its note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with  respect thereto.               (f)   LIBOR.  Each Loan made by a Lender shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan except  under the circumstances set forth in Section 301(r) or (s) of  this Agreement.               (g)   Principal and Interest.  Distributions of principal and interest on the Loans  shall be made to the Lenders as set forth in Section 302 of this Agreement.  All payments of  principal and interest on the Loans and fees with respect to the Loans shall be paid by the  Borrower to the Lenders reflected in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent as of  the related Record Date, based on their respective, Pro Rata Shares, by wire transfer of  immediately available funds for receipt prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related                                        43                

 

                Payment Date.  Any payments received by a Lender after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on  any day shall be considered to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.               (h)   Interest Payments on the Loan.  Subject to the provisions of Sections  301(i) and (j), (i) each LIBOR Rate Loan (to the extent any Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan) shall  bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof during each Interest Accrual Period at  a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Accrual Period plus the Applicable  Margin, and (ii) each Base Rate Loan (to the extent any Loan is a Base Rate Loan) shall bear  interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof during each Interest Accrual Period at a rate  per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  Interest on any such LIBOR Rate  Loan and Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date from amounts on  deposit in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 302.  The Administrative Agent  shall no later than the third Business Day prior to each Payment Date submit an invoice to the  Borrower and the Manager detailing the calculation of the Interest Payment payable on such  Payment Date.               (i)   Interest on Overdue Amounts.  If the Borrower shall default in the  payment of (i) the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance on the Final Maturity Date, or (ii) the  Interest Payment on any Payment Date, or (iii) all other amounts becoming due hereunder on the  Final Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Loan has been accelerated in accordance  with Section 802, the Borrower shall, from time to time, pay interest on such unpaid amounts, to  the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, for the  period during which such principal, interest or other amount shall be unpaid from the due date  of such payment to the date of actual payment thereof (after as well as before judgment).  Default  Fees shall be payable at the times and subject to the priorities set forth in Section 302 hereof.                (j)   Maximum Interest Rate.  In no event shall the interest charged with  respect to the Loan exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law.  If at any time  the interest rate charged with respect to the Loan exceeds the maximum rate permitted by  Applicable Law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant this Agreement with respect to the Loan  shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, but any subsequent  reductions in the LIBOR Rate or Base Rate, as the case may be, shall not reduce the interest to  accrue on the Loan below the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law until the total  amount of interest accrued on the Loan equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if  a varying rate per annum equal to the interest rate otherwise provided herein had at all times  been in effect.               (k)   Calculation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for any Base  Rate Loan for which the Prime Rate is used shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366  days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest  shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees  or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest  shall accrue on the Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on the  Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that  if the Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made it shall bear interest for one day.  Each  determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive  and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Whenever any payment hereunder shall be                                        44                

 

                stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next  Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of  payment of the Interest Payment or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.               (l)   Increase and Decrease in Commitments; Extension              (1)   Commitment Reductions.  The Borrower may, upon at least 30 days’                   written notice to each Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and                   Collateral Agent, terminate in whole, or reduce in part, the then unused                   Commitment of each Lender; provided, however, that each partial reduction                   of a Commitment shall be in amounts equal to $20,000,000 or an integral                   multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be allocated pro rata                   among each Lender (based on the then current Commitment of each                   Lender).  Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section                   shall be irrevocable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may on                   any Business Day reduce to zero and terminate in full the Aggregate                   Commitment in connection with a refinancing of the Aggregate Loan                   Principal Balance upon (a) at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written                   notice to each Lender, with a copy to the Collateral Agent, the                   Administrative Agent and each Hedge Counterparty, specifying the                   proposed Payment Date of such termination and (b) payment in full of (i)                   the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance and interest thereon, (ii) Breakage                   Costs, if any, and (iii) all other Outstanding Obligations of Borrower under                   this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including any                   termination payments resulting from the required termination of any Hedge                   Agreements then in effect in connection with such reduction.              (2)   Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Early Amortization Event,                   Asset Base Deficiency or Event of Default, the Borrower may, from time to                   time prior to the Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date, upon notice to                   the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), request                   an increase in the Aggregate Commitment by an amount (for all such                   requests) not exceeding Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) in                   the aggregate; provided that the Borrower may make a maximum of five (5)                   such requests and shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation                   consistent with the terms and documentation applicable to each then unpaid                   Loan, except with respect to any upfront or similar fees that may be agreed                   to among the Borrower and the Lender providing any additional                   Commitments.  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 Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to                   the Lender).              (3)   Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative                   Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its                  Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less                                        45                

 

                      than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase.  Any Lender not        responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to        increase its Commitment.   (4)   Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The        Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each other Lender of        the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  Such offer shall be        made first to each existing Lender in proportion to its then existing        Commitments. If any existing Lender elects not to increase its Commitment,        then the Commitments of such declining existing Lender(s) will then be        offered to the other existing Lenders in proportion to their then existing        Commitments. If the existing Lenders do not collectively fulfill such        requested increase, the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible        Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and        substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with a       copy to the Collateral Agent.  Any requested increase in the Aggregate       Commitment  need not be achieved in full in order for such requested       increase to take effect with respect to the respective Commitments of any       such Lenders who agree to such increase.   (5)   Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Aggregate Commitment is increased        in accordance with this Section 301(l), 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, the Collateral Agent and each other Lender        of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.  The        parties hereto authorize the Administrative Agent to amend Schedule II        hereto as of each Increase Effective Date to reflect any modification to the        Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 301(l).  The Lenders that        agree to such increase shall surrender their notes (if any) to the Borrower.         Upon the Borrower’s receipt of evidence of such surrender (to the extent        applicable), the Borrower shall deliver promptly to each applicable Lender        a replacement note (if requested by such Lender) reflecting the Lender’s        increased Commitment.     (6)   Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such        increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the        Collateral Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase        Effective Date signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (i)        certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving        or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after        giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties        contained in Section 501 and the other Transaction 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 (B) no Early        Amortization Event, Event of Default or Asset Base Deficiency exists or                             46                

 

                      would exist after giving effect to such increase.  The Borrower shall prepay        or shall cause the Lenders to allocate any Loans outstanding on the Increase        Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required under the        Transaction Documents) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding        Loans with any revised Pro Rata Share arising from any non-ratable        increase in the Aggregate Commitment under this Section 301(l).   (7)   The Borrower may, within 60 days, but no later than 45 days (or such        shorter period as may be approved by the parties hereto), prior to the then        current Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date, by written notice to each        Lender, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent,        request that the Lenders extend the Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date        for a specified period of time.  Each Lender shall make a determination, in        its sole discretion, within 30 days of its receipt of the Borrower’s request,        as to whether or not it will agree to extend the Scheduled Commitment        Expiration Date; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender to make a        timely response to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Scheduled        Commitment Expiration Date shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by        such Lender to extend the Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date.  Any        such extension of the Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date shall become        effective only upon (i) written confirmation to the Borrower by a Lender of        its agreement to so extend the Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date, and       (ii) receipt by each Lender of any fees required to be paid in connection with       such extension. If fewer than all of the Lenders have agreed to extend the       then existing Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date, the Borrower may       arrange for additional Eligible Assignees to replace the Lender or Lenders       that have not consented to such extension.    (m)   Delayed Funding.   (1)   Any Lender may, not later than two (2) Business Days before a requested       Funding Date, deliver a written notice to the Borrower and the       Administrative Agent (a “Delaying Funding Notice”) certifying that it is a        Designated Delay Lender and its intention to fund its share of the requested        Loans on a date that is on or before the 35th day following the date of such        Funding Date (the “Delaying Funding Date”) rather than on the requested        Funding Date.   (2)   If one or more Lenders deliver a Delaying Funding Notice within the time        frame described above (each, a “Delaying Lender”) with respect to a Loan        and such request for a Loan is not revoked or modified by the Borrower        pursuant to clause (3) below, then the Administrative Agent shall direct        each Lender who is not a Delaying Lender (each, a “Non-Delaying Lender”)        to advance an amount equal to such Non-Delaying Lender’s proportionate       share (measured by the Commitments of such Non-Delaying Lenders) of       the sum of the Delaying Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares of the requested Loan       (the “Delayed Amount”), and each Non-Delaying Lender shall fund its                             47                

 

                                 proportionate share of the Delayed Amount; provided, however, that a Non-                  Delaying Lender shall not have any obligation to fund in excess of its                   Availability.              (3)   No later than two (2) Business Days before the requested Funding Date and                   with respect to any Loan (an “Affected Borrowing”), the Borrower may, if                   the Borrower is unable to borrow the full amount of the requested Loan                   from Non-Delaying Lenders, either (i) revoke the related Funding Notice,                   or (ii) reduce the amount of the Loan requested in the related Funding                   Notice to reflect the funding allocation of the Delaying Lenders.              (4)   The amount of any principal payment payable to a Delaying Lender                   between the Funding Date and the Delaying Funding Date shall instead be                   distributed as follows: (i) first, to each Non-Delaying Lenders, on a pro rata                  basis based on the portion of the Delayed Amount funded by each Non-                 Delaying Lender (such Non-Delaying Lender, the “Overfunding Lenders”),                   in an amount up to the portion of the Delayed Amount that was funded by                   such Overfunding Lender, (ii) second, to the Borrower, the amount of any                   Delayed Amount that was not funded by Non-Delaying Lender(s), and (iii)                   third, to such Delaying Lender.               (5)   On each Delaying Funding Date, the related Delaying Lender shall fund its                   Delayed Amount.  A Delaying Lender that fully funds such Delayed                   Amount on or before the applicable Delaying Funding Date will not                   constitute a Defaulting Lender solely due to its failure to fund its share of                   the requested Loan on the requested Funding Date.  Prior to a Delaying                   Lender funding its portion of any Delayed Amount, such Delaying Lender                   shall not be deemed to have advanced any portion of such Delayed Amount                   for purposes of interest or other calculations, and, prior to any                   reimbursement of such Delayed Amount, any Overfunding Lender shall be                   credited for such purposes with the principal amount of such Delayed                   Amount funded by such Overfunding Lender.  A Delaying Lender that fails                   to fund its Delayed Amount on or before the Delaying Funding Date shall                   be classified as a Defaulting Lender.              (6)   Each Delaying Lender agrees that if the conditions to advance of a Loan                   were met as of the applicable Funding Date, there shall be no conditions                   whatsoever to its obligation to fund its portion of the Delayed Amount on                   the related Delaying Funding Date, regardless of whether such conditions                   to advance are met on the Delaying Funding Date.               (n)   Principal Payments; Scheduled Amortization. The Aggregate Loan  Principal Balance shall be payable on each Payment Date from amounts on deposit in the  Distribution Account in an amount equal to: (i) so long as no Early Amortization Event or Event  of Default is continuing, the Scheduled Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date (if  any) and the Supplemental Principal Payment Amount (if any) for such Payment Date to the  extent that funds are available for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section                                        48                

 

                302(b)(I) hereof, or (ii) if an Early Amortization Event has occurred and is then continuing, but  no Event of Default shall then be continuing (or an Event of Default has occurred but the Loan  has not been accelerated in accordance with Section 802), the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance  shall be payable in full to the extent that funds are available for such purpose in accordance with  the provisions of Section 302(b)(II).  The Aggregate Loan Principal Balance, together with all  unpaid interest (including all Default Fees), fees, expenses, costs and other amounts payable by  the Borrower to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, shall be due  and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which an Event of Default shall occur  and the Loans have been accelerated in accordance with Section 802 and (y) the Final Maturity  Date.  Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account when an Event of Default is continuing and  the Loans have been accelerated will be distributed in accordance with Section 806.                 (o)   Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrower may, on any Payment Date and  upon four (4) Business Days’ prior notice to the Lenders and each Hedge Counterparty,  voluntarily prepay all, or any part, of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance by making a wire  transfer to the Lenders; provided, however, that the Borrower may not make such repayment  from funds in the Distribution Account, the Revenue Reserve Account or the Restricted Cash  Account except to the extent that funds in any such account would otherwise be payable to the  Borrower or available to prepay the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance in accordance with the  terms hereof; provided, further, that any such voluntary prepayment shall (x) be allocated among  the Loans in the same proportion that the unpaid principal balance of each Loan, immediately  prior to such prepayment, bears to the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance and (y) be in an  aggregate minimum amount of the lesser of (A) $250,000.00 and (B) the Aggregate Loan  Principal Balance.  In the event of any Prepayment of the Loan in accordance with this Section  301(o) or any other provision hereof (including any Supplemental Principal Payment Amounts),  the Borrower shall pay any Breakage Costs incurred by the Lenders and any termination  payments resulting from the required termination of any Hedge Agreements then in effect in  connection with such prepayment. Any such voluntary Prepayment of less than the entire  Aggregate Loan Principal Balance shall be applied to reduce the Scheduled Principal Payment  Amount for future Payment Dates as set forth in Section 702(c).                (p)   Upfront and Commitment Fees.  On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall  pay for the account of each Lender its respective Pro Rata Share of a fully-earned, non- refundable Upfront Fee, as set forth in the Fee Letter. On each Payment Date before the  Conversion Date, in accordance with Section 302(c), the Borrower shall pay for the account of  each Lender their respective Pro Rata Share of a fully-earned, non-refundable “Commitment  Fee” which shall be calculated daily and equal the product of (x) (1) three tenths percent (0.30%),  if the daily unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment hereunder is fifty percent (50.00%) or  less, or (2) two fifths percent (0.40%), if the daily unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment  hereunder is greater than fifty percent (50.00%) times (y) the unused Aggregate Commitment.               (q)   Taxes.                (1)   Subject to clause (7) below, in addition to payments of principal and interest                   on the Loans when due, the Borrower shall pay, but only in accordance with                  the priorities for distributions set forth in Section 302 hereof, each Lender                  any and all present or future taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, or charges,                                        49                

 

                      or any other similar deduction or withholding, whatsoever imposed by any        Governmental Authority on payments of principal and interest on the Loans        and other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Transaction        Documents, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) franchise        taxes, (ii) such taxes as are imposed on or measured by or determined (in        whole or in part) by reference to each Indemnified Party’s net income by        the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Indemnified Party, as the case        may be (regardless of whether such tax is denominated as an “income tax”        under applicable local law), is organized or maintains an office or any        political subdivision thereof, (iii) any other taxes, fees, duties, levies,        imposts, or charges, whether payable directly by the Lender or by deduction        or withholding from any payment made in respect of the Loans, on account        of a connection, whether present or former, between the Lender and the        relevant taxing jurisdiction including without limitation branch profits        taxes, (iv) withholding taxes imposed on any payment in respect of the        Loans other than on account of a change in law or regulation occurring after        the Person in respect of which such tax is imposed acquired a beneficial        interest in the Loans, and (v) FATCA Withholding Taxes (each of the items        referred to in the clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), an “Excluded Tax” and        collectively, the “Excluded Taxes”; all such non-excluded taxes, levies,        imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter        referred to as “Taxes”).   (2)   In addition, subject to clause (7) below, the Borrower shall pay, but only in        accordance with the priorities for distribution set forth in Section 302        hereof, any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other        similar excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from        any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration        of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other  Transaction        Document, except any such taxes, charges or levies imposed with respect to        an assignment (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).   (3)   Subject to clause (7) below, if any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly        asserted or imposed against any Indemnified Party, the Borrower shall        indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party, but only in        accordance with the priorities for distribution set forth in Section 302        hereof, for the full amount of the Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes        or Other Taxes asserted or imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable        under this Section 301(q)) paid by the Indemnified Party and any liability        (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising        therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes        were correctly or legally asserted or imposed.  If the Borrower fails to pay        any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or        fails to remit to the Indemnified Party the required receipts or other required        documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Indemnified Party        for any incremental Taxes or Other Taxes, interest or penalties that may        become payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any such failure.                              50                

 

                      Payment under this indemnification shall be made in accordance with the        payment priorities set forth in Section 302 hereof on the Payment Date        following the date on which the Indemnified Party makes written demand        therefor.  Each Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the Borrower        of any assertion of Taxes or Other Taxes so that the Borrower may, at its        option, contest such assertion.   (4)   Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of       Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the affected       Indemnified Party the original (or a certified copy) of a receipt evidencing       payment thereof, or other evidence of payment thereof satisfactory to such       Indemnified Party.   (5)   Taxes, Other Taxes and other indemnification payments owing pursuant to        the provisions of this Section 301(q) shall be paid in accordance with the        payment priority set forth in Section 302 hereof.   (6)   If an Indemnified Party is not a “United States person” as defined in section        7701(a)(30) of the Code, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the        Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent        and the Manager, within 15 days after the Closing Date, or, if such        Indemnified Party becomes an Indemnified Party after the Closing Date, the        date on which such Indemnified Party becomes an Indemnified Party        hereunder:  (i) two (or such other number as may from time to time be        prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of (A) IRS Form W-      8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility of the Indemnified       Party for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a       party and establishing that such Indemnified Party is not subject to       withholding under FATCA or (B) IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor       forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to       time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws) or       (ii) in the case of an Indemnified Party that is not legally entitled to deliver       either form listed in clause (6)(i), (A) a certificate of a duly authorized       officer of such Indemnified Party to the effect that such Indemnified Party       is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,       (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower or TCIL within the meaning       of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (z) a controlled foreign corporation       receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section       881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (such certificate, an “Exemption Certificate”) and       (B) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-      E, or applicable successor form certifying the foreign status of such       Indemnified Party and establishing that such Indemnified Party is not       subject to withholding under FATCA, as appropriate, to permit the       Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Indemnified       Party, without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or       similar Taxes.  Each other Indemnified Party agrees to deliver to the       Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent                             51                

 

                      and the Manager, within 15 days after the Closing Date, or, if such        Indemnified Party becomes an Indemnified Party after the Closing Date, the        date on which such Indemnified Party becomes an Indemnified Party        hereunder, one or more accurate and complete original signed copies (as the        Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or Manager may        reasonably request) of IRS Form W-9 or successor applicable form (if        required by law), as the case may be, providing the employer identification       number for such Indemnified Party.  Additionally, upon the obsolescence       of, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or       certificate previously delivered by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this        Section 301(q)(6), and from time to time as may be reasonably requested        by the Borrower, such Indemnified Party shall deliver such forms, amended        or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under        Applicable Laws to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for        the account of such Indemnified Party, without deduction or withholding of        United States federal income or similar Taxes.   (7)   The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to any        Indemnified Party pursuant to clause (1), or to indemnify any Indemnified        Party pursuant to clause (3), in respect of withholding taxes (including        backup withholding) to the extent imposed as a result of (i) the failure of        such Indemnified Party to deliver to the Borrower any form and/or        Exemption Certificate pursuant to clause (6), (ii) such form not establishing        a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or the information        or certifications made therein by the Indemnified Party being untrue or        inaccurate on the date delivered in any material respect, or (iii) the        Indemnified Party designating a successor office at which it maintains the        Loans which has the effect of causing such Indemnified Party to become        subject to or obligated for tax payments in excess of those in effect        immediately prior to such designation; provided, however, that the        Borrower shall be obligated to pay additional amounts to any such        Indemnified Party pursuant to clause (1), and to indemnify any such        Indemnified Party pursuant to clause (3), in respect of United States federal        withholding taxes if (i) any such failure to deliver a form and/or Exemption        Certificate or the failure of such form to establish a complete exemption        from U.S. federal withholding tax or inaccuracy or untruth contained therein        resulted from a change in any Applicable Law or regulation (other than any        withholding taxes imposed under FATCA) occurring after the date the        Person in respect of which such tax is imposed acquired a beneficial interest        in the Loans, which change rendered such Indemnified Party no longer        legally entitled to deliver any such form or otherwise ineligible for a        complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax, or (ii) the        redesignation of the Indemnified Party’s office for maintenance of the        Loans was made at the request of the Borrower.   (8)   Any Indemnified Party that becomes entitled to the payment of additional        amounts pursuant to Section 301(q)(1) shall use reasonable efforts                             52                

 

                       (consistent with Applicable Law) to file any document reasonably requested         by the Borrower or to transfer its interest in the Loans to an Affiliate in         another jurisdiction if the making of such a filing or transfer to an Affiliate,         as the case may be, would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any         payment of such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would         not, in the good faith determination of such Indemnified Party, be         disadvantageous to it.     (9)   If an Indemnified Party receives any refund or is entitled to a tax credit with         respect to Taxes or Other Taxes for which the Borrower has paid any         additional amounts pursuant to Section 301(q)(1) or Section 301(q)(2) or         made an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 301(q)(3), then such         Indemnified Party shall promptly pay the Borrower the portion of such         refund or credit 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 or Other Taxes and the payment by the         Borrower of such indemnity or additional amounts pursuant to this Section         301(q)(9) provided, however, that (i) the Borrower agrees to promptly         return any amount paid to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 301(q)(9)         upon notice from such Indemnified Party that such refund or any portion         thereof is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority and (ii)        nothing in this Section 301(q)(9) shall require an Indemnified Party to        disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without        limitation, its tax returns).   (10)  If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for        contesting any Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts have        been paid pursuant to Section 301(q)(1) or Section 301(q)(2) or an        indemnity payment has been made pursuant to Section 301(q)(3), the        Indemnified Party (to the extent such Person reasonably determines in good        faith that it will not suffer a material adverse effect as a result thereof) shall        cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Taxes or Other Taxes, at        the Borrower’s expense, if so requested by the Borrower in writing.     (r)   Illegality.            (i)   If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that   any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its   Lending Office to make, maintain or fund the Loans to the extent interest thereon   is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, or to determine or charge interest   rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed   material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take   deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such   Lender to the Borrower, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue any   LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality   of such Lender making or maintaining any Base Rate Loan the interest rate on                              53                

 

                           which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate,             the interest rate on which any Base Rate Loan of Lender shall, if necessary to avoid             such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the             LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies             the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower that the             circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of             such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy             to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent), prepay or, if applicable,            convert any LIBOR Rate Loan of such Lender to a Base Rate Loan (the interest            rate on which Base Rate Loan of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such            illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the            LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest            Accrual Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such            LIBOR Rate Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully            continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan and (y) if such notice asserts the            illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the            LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension            compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBOR            Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent            are advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to            determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate.  Upon any such            prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the            amount so prepaid or converted.                   (ii)   If, in any applicable jurisdiction, it becomes unlawful for any Lender             to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or             maintain its participation in the Loans:              (1)   that Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the                   Borrower upon becoming aware of that event; and              (2)   the Borrower shall terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay the                   Loans owing to such Lender on the date specified by the Lender in the                   notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last                   day of any applicable grace period permitted by law).               (s)   Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Majority Lenders determine that for   any reason in connection with any LIBOR Rate Loan that (a) Dollar deposits are not being  offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and  Interest Accrual Period of such LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not  exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any applicable Interest Accrual Period with respect to  any LIBOR Rate Loan or in connection with any Base Rate Loan, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for any  applicable Interest Accrual Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately  and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Loans, and in each case such  circumstances are expected to be temporary, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify  the Borrower, each Hedge Counterparty and each other Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of  such Lenders to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a                                        54                

 

      determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR Rate component    of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate    shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the    Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. If such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, then    the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of    interest to LIBOR, pursuant to the provisions specified in the final paragraph of the definition of    “LIBOR Rate”.                 (t)   Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loan.                (1)   Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:                (A)   impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,                     compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,                     deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,                     any Lender (or any member of its Related Group) (except any reserve                     requirement contemplated by the definition of LIBOR Rate);                (B)   subject any Indemnified Party to any taxes described in clause (i) of the                     definition of Excluded Taxes on the Loans or other obligations, or its                     deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (but                     excluding any Excluded Taxes described in clauses other than clause (i) of                     the definition of Excluded Taxes); or                (C)   impose on any Lender (or any member of its Related Group) or the London                     interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this                     Agreement;   and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to (i) increase the cost to such Lender (or any member  of its Related Group) of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining its investment in its  Loans the interest on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, or (ii) reduce the  amount of any sum received or receivable by such Person (whether of principal, interest or any  other amount), or (iii) increase the amount of high quality liquid assets required to be maintained  by such Person, or (iv) result in the imposition of any internal charges related to liquidity to such  Lender, then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional  amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction  suffered, subject to clauses (3) and (4) below.                (2)   Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law                     affecting such Lender, such Lender’s holding company, if any, or other                     member of its Related Group regarding capital or liquidity requirements                     has, or would have, the effect of (i) reducing the rate of return on such                     Lender’s capital, or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s holding                     company, if any, or other member of its Related Group as a consequence of                     this Agreement, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s                     holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking                     into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s                                          55    

 

                                 holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity (other than a                   change solely in such policy)) or (ii) increasing the amount of high quality                   liquid assets required to be maintained by any such Person, or (iii) resulting                   in the imposition of an internal liquidity charge to such Person, then, in each                   such case, the Borrower will, from time to time, pay to such Lender such                   additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such                   Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.              (3)   Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the                   amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding                   company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 301(t)(1) or (2) and                   delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error;                   provided that such certificate (i) sets forth in reasonable detail the amount                   or amounts payable to such Indemnified Party pursuant to such Section                   301(t)(1) or (2), (ii) explains the methodology used to determine such                   amount, (iii) states that the applicable increased costs or reductions were                   suffered no more than ninety (90) days (or, if the circumstances giving rise                   to such increased costs or reductions were retroactive, such period in excess                   of ninety (90) days as includes the period of retroactive effect) prior to the                   date of such certificate, and (iv) states that such amount is consistent with                   amounts that such Indemnified Party has required other similarly situated                   borrowers or obligors to pay with respect to such increased costs or                   reductions.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due                   on any such certificate in accordance with the priority of payments set forth                   in this Agreement.              (4)   Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Indemnified Party (if                   so entitled) to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions                   of this Section 301(t) shall not constitute a waiver of such Indemnified                  Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower                  shall not be required to compensate an Indemnified Party pursuant to the                  foregoing provisions of this Section 301(t) for any increased costs incurred                  or reductions (i) suffered more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that                  such Indemnified Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving                  rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Indemnified Party’s                  intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law                  giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the                  ninety (90) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the                  period of retroactive effect thereof) or (ii) if such Indemnified Party has not                  required other similarly situated borrowers or obligors to pay comparable                  amounts with respect to such increased costs or reductions.               (u)   Replacement of Lender.  In the event (i) any Lender (or the Administrative  Agent or any Indemnified Party with respect to any Lender) delivers a certificate requesting  compensation pursuant to Section 301(q) or Section 301(t) hereof or a notice pursuant to Section  301(r) or 301(s), (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender (or  any Indemnified Party with respect to any Lender) or any Governmental Authority on account                                        56                

 

                of any Lender (or any Indemnified Party with respect to any Lender) pursuant to Section 301(q)  or (iii) any Lender does not consent (or fails to respond) to a proposed amendment, modification  or waiver to any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document requested by  the Borrower (and the Borrower has satisfied all other conditions precedent to such amendment  or waiver but for receiving the consent of such Lender), the Borrower may, at its sole expense  and effort, upon notice to such Lender, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without  recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement), all of  its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents  to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another  Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:             (1)   such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the                  outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees                  and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other                  Transaction Documents from the Borrower or the assignee (to the extent of                  such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower                  (in the case of all other amounts);             (2)   in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation                  under Section 301(q) or (t), such assignment will result in a reduction in                  such compensation or payments thereafter; and             (3)   such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.               (v)   Indemnity. The Borrower will indemnify each Lender against any loss or  expense which such Lender may sustain or incur, including any loss or expense sustained or  incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund  or maintain a Loan, due to (a) any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of  any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) any failure of the  Borrower to borrow on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice, (c) any payment or  prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Accrual  Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan or (d) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other  than the last day of the Interest Accrual Period therefor.        Section 302 Distribution Account.                 (a)   The Borrower shall establish and maintain so long as any Outstanding  Obligation remains unpaid the Distribution Account into which the Borrower shall deposit (or  cause to be deposited) all of the following amounts:  (i) all amounts representing Net Operating  Income (and adjustments thereof), Casualty Proceeds and Sales Proceeds (to the extent not  included in the Net Operating Income) with respect to the Managed Containers received from  the Manager pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, (ii) all Manager Advances,  (iii) all amounts received by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of all Hedge Agreements then  in effect, and (iv) other payments specified to be deposited therein pursuant to the terms of this  Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

The Distribution Account shall at all times  be an Eligible Account, shall be in the name of the Borrower and shall be pledged to the                                        57                

 

                Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Borrower shall not establish any  additional Distribution Accounts without (in each instance) prior written notice to the Collateral  Agent.               (b)   The Borrower shall cause the Manager to deposit into the Distribution  Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1 and 5.2 of the Management Agreement  amounts representing the Net Operating Income (and adjustments thereof), Casualty Proceeds  and Sales Proceeds (to the extent not included in the Net Operating Income) with respect to the  Managed Containers.  The Manager shall be permitted to require the Collateral Agent to  withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Payment Date, or  otherwise net out from amounts otherwise required to be deposited by the Manager in the  Distribution Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1 and 5.2 of the  Management Agreement, the amount of any Management Fees or Management Fee Arrearage  that would otherwise be due and payable on the immediately succeeding Payment Date.

(c)   The Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges the appointment by the  Borrower of the Manager to service and administer the Managed Containers, the Leases of such  Managed Containers (to the extent related to the Managed Containers) and certain other items  of the Collateral, each in accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement and the  Intercreditor Collateral Agreement.  So long as the Management Agreement shall not have been  terminated in accordance with its terms, the Collateral Agent hereby agrees to provide the  Manager with such documentation, and to take all such actions with respect to the Collateral as  the Manager may reasonably request in accordance with the express provisions of the  Management Agreement and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement; provided, however, that the  Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive from the Manager reasonable compensation and cost  reimbursement for any such action. Until such time as a Managed Container has become a  Terminated Managed Container following a Manager Default, the Manager, on behalf of the  Borrower, shall continue to collect all Accounts and payments on the Leases of those Managed  Containers that have not become a Terminated Managed Container in accordance with the  provisions of the Management Agreement and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement and  deposit such amounts into a Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of the  Management Agreement and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement. Any Proceeds received  directly by the Borrower in payment of any Account or Leases with respect to, or in payment for  or in respect of, any of the Managed Containers or on account of any of the Contracts to which  the Borrower is a party shall be promptly deposited by the Borrower in precisely the form  received (with all necessary endorsements) in the Collection Account in accordance with the  provisions of the Management Agreement and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement, and until  so deposited shall be deemed to be held in trust by the Borrower for the Collateral Agent and  shall continue to be collateral security for all of the obligations secured by this Agreement and  shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. If (i) an Event of  Default has occurred, (ii) any Sale of the Collateral pursuant to Section 815 hereof shall have  occurred or (iii) a Manager Default has occurred, the Borrower shall at the request of the                                        68                

 

                Collateral Agent, acting with the consent of or at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to the  extent practicable, deliver to the Collateral Agent (or such other Person as the Collateral Agent  may direct) originals (or, to the extent originals cannot be delivered, copies) of all Leases and  other documents evidencing, and relating to, the sale, lease and delivery of such Managed  Containers and the Borrower shall, to the extent practicable, deliver originals (or, to the extent  originals cannot be delivered, copies) of all other documents evidencing and relating to, the  performance of any labor, maintenance, remarketing or other service which created any  Accounts, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.        Section 402 Reserved        Section 403 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.               (a)   The Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral  Agent, and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful  attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Borrower  and in the name of the Borrower or in its own name, from time to time, for the purpose of carrying  out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver  any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the  purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent has no obligation or  duty to take such action or to determine whether to perfect, file, record or maintain any perfected,  filed or recorded document or instrument (all of which the Borrower shall prepare, deliver and  instruct the Collateral Agent to execute, if applicable) in connection with the grant or security  interest in the Collateral hereunder.               (b)   The Collateral Agent shall not exercise the power of attorney or any rights  granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 403 unless an Event of Default shall have  occurred and then be continuing. The Borrower hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law,  all actions that said attorney shall lawfully do, or cause to be done, by virtue hereof. The power  of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 403 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be  irrevocable until the Loans have been paid in full.               (c)   The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to  protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to  exercise any such powers except as set forth herein. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable  only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it  nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the  Borrower for any act or failure to act, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct.               (d)   Subject to the provisions in Section 3.4(c) of the Intercreditor Collateral  Agreement, the Borrower also authorizes (but does not obligate) the Collateral Agent to (i) so  long as a Manager Default is continuing and a Manager Termination Notice has been delivered  in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, communicate in its own name, or  to direct any other Person, including the Manager or a replacement Manager, to communicate  with any party to any Contract or Lease relating to a Managed Container that has become a  Terminated Managed Container and (ii) so long as an Event of Default is continuing, and a  Manager Termination Notice has been delivered in accordance with the terms of the                                        69                

 

      Management Agreement, execute in connection with the sale of Collateral provided for in Article    VIII hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with    respect to the Collateral.                 (e)   If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements    contained herein and a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall receive notice of such    failure, the Collateral Agent, with the consent of the Majority Lenders, shall cause performance    or compliance, or acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall perform or comply, with    such agreement; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to so    perform or comply if it has reasonable grounds to believe that payment of its expenses and    interest thereon (as set forth in the following sentence) is not reasonably assured. The reasonable    and documented expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses,    of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, shall be    payable by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent on demand and shall constitute additional    Outstanding Obligations secured hereby and shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of    Section 302 or Section 806 hereof.          Section 404 Release of Security Interest.            Any Managed Container and any Related Assets sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of   by the Issuer in accordance with Section 606(a) of this Agreement shall be deemed to be   automatically released from the lien and security interest of this Agreement without any action   being taken by the Collateral Agent upon receipt by the Borrower of the related price for such   Managed Container.  In connection with any such release, the Collateral Agent shall provide any   documents and instruments (including, but not limited to, UCC termination filings) as the   Borrower or the Manager may reasonably request to evidence the termination and release from the   Lien of this Agreement of such Managed Container and the Related Assets. In providing such   evidence, the Collateral Agent may conclusively and exclusively rely on a written direction of the   Manager identifying each Managed Container or other items released from the Lien of this   Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 404 accompanied by an Asset Base   Certificate and the form of evidence requested, properly completed and execution ready. In  addition, if an Early Amortization Event is then continuing, in connection with such release, the  Manager shall provide the Collateral Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate  stating that such release is in compliance with Sections 404 and 606(a) hereof.          Section 405 Administration of Collateral.                   (a)   The Collateral Agent shall as promptly as practicable notify the Lenders,    each Hedge Counterparty and the Administrative Agent of any Manager Default of which a    Responsible Officer has actual knowledge. The Collateral Agent, at the written direction of the    Majority Lenders, shall deliver to the Manager (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and    each Hedge Counterparty) a Manager Termination Notice terminating the Manager of its    responsibilities in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement and subject to the    provisions in Section 3.4(c) of the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement.  In accordance with the    terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority    Lenders) shall seek to appoint a replacement Manager acceptable to the Majority Lenders with    respect to the Terminated Managed Containers as such terminations occur.  If the Administrative                                          70    

 

                Agent is unable to locate and qualify a replacement Manager acceptable to the Majority Lenders  within sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of the Manager Termination Notice, then the  Collateral Agent may (and shall, upon the direction of the Majority Lenders) appoint, or petition  a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a company acceptable to the Majority Lenders,  having a net worth of not less than $5,000,000 and whose regular business includes equipment  leasing or servicing, as the successor to the Manager of all or any part of the responsibilities,  duties or liabilities of the Manager under the Management Agreement and the other Transaction  Documents to which it is a party.  In no event shall either the Collateral Agent or the  Administrative Agent be required to act as Manager.  The Manager shall continue to fulfill its  duties and responsibilities as Manager with respect to those Managed Containers that are not  Terminated Managed Containers in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement  and the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement. The replaced Manager shall not be entitled to receive  any compensation for any period after the effective date of such replacement, but shall be entitled  to receive compensation for services rendered through the effective date of such replacement  except to the extent that it is unable to fulfill such duties pending the appointment of a  replacement Manager.  If the Manager is unable to fulfill such duties pending the appointment  of a replacement Manager, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions, which it is  reasonably capable of performing and as the Majority Lenders shall direct to aid in the transition  of the Manager; provided, however, that no provisions of this Agreement shall require the  Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability  in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights, powers or duties,  if the Administrative Agent shall have reasonable grounds for believing that timely repayment  in full of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not  reasonably assured after taking into account the reimbursement provisions set forth in Section  302 or Section 806, as applicable. All reimbursements to the Administrative Agent shall (unless  the Majority Lenders have otherwise agreed in writing to indemnify the Administrative Agent)  be payable on the immediately succeeding Payment Date pursuant to the provisions of Section  302 or Section 806, as applicable, hereof. Each Lender, the Collateral Agent, and each Hedge  Counterparty shall, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, be deemed to have agreed that  the duties of the Administrative Agent are not to be construed as those of a replacement Manager.   In connection with the appointment of a replacement Manager, the Collateral Agent or  Administrative Agent may, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, make such  arrangements for the compensation of such replacement Manager out of Collections as the  Collateral Agent and the Majority Lenders and such replacement Manager shall agree; provided,  however, that no such revised compensation shall be in excess of the Management Fees  permitted the Manager under the Management Agreement and the arrangement for  reimbursement of expenses shall be no more favorable than that set forth in the Management  Agreement unless the Majority Lenders shall approve such higher amounts; provided, further,  that in no event shall any of the Collateral Agent, any Hedge Counterparty or the Administrative  Agent be liable to any replacement Manager for the Management Fees or any additional amounts  (including expenses and indemnifications) payable to such replacement Manager, either pursuant  to the Management Agreement or otherwise. The Collateral Agent and such successor shall take  such action, consistent with the Management Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any  such succession including exercising the power of attorney granted by the Manager pursuant to  Section 9.4 of the Management Agreement.                                         71                

 

                (b)   If a Manager Termination Notice has been delivered in accordance with   the terms of the Management Agreement, the Collateral Agent may and shall, if directed in   writing by the Majority Lenders, after first notifying the Borrower of its intention to do so, notify   Account Debtors of the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby agrees to provide the Collateral   Agent all commercially reasonable information to identify and locate such Account Debtors),   parties to the Contracts of the Borrower, obligors in respect of Instruments of the Borrower and   obligors in respect of Chattel Paper of the Borrower that the Accounts and the right, title and   interest of the Borrower in and under such Contracts, Instruments, and Chattel Paper (to the   extent related to the Managed Containers) have been pledged to Collateral Agent and that   payments shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent or the Distribution Account; provided   that the ability to provide any such notifications to a Lessee of a Managed Container that is not   a Terminated Managed Container is subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Collateral   Agreement.  Upon the request of the Majority Lenders, the Borrower shall, or shall direct   Manager to, so notify such Account Debtors, parties to such Contracts, obligors in respect of   such Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper.                  (c)   Upon a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent obtaining actual   knowledge or the actual receipt of written notice that any repurchase obligations of the Seller   under Section 3.03 of the Contribution and Sale Agreement or TAL under Section 3.03 of the   First-Tier Contribution and Sale Agreement have arisen, the Collateral Agent shall notify each   Hedge Counterparty and the Administrative Agent of such event and shall enforce such   repurchase obligations at the written direction of the Majority Lenders.                (d)   Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any   obligation to take any of the actions specified in Section 405(a), Section 405(b) or Section 405(c)   unless the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall have security   or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs and expenses which may be incurred   by the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) in taking such actions.         Section 406 Quiet Enjoyment.  The security interest hereby granted by the Borrower to  the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is subject to the right of any lessee to the  quiet enjoyment of the related Managed Container so long as such lessee is not in default under  the Lease therefor.         Section 407 Rights of Lenders.  The Lenders shall have the right to receive, to the extent  necessary to make the required payments with respect to the Loans at the times and in the amounts  specified herein, funds on deposit in the Distribution Account (subject to the priorities set forth in  Sections 302 and 806 hereof), the Revenue Reserve Account and the Restricted Cash Account.                                    ARTICLE V                                                               REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES         Section 501 Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents and  warrants to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent as of the Closing Date and each Funding Date  that:                                          72

(c)   No Conflict; Legal Compliance.  The execution, delivery and  performance of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents will not: (a)  contravene any provision of Borrower’s limited liability company agreement or other  organizational documents; (b) contravene, conflict with or violate any applicable law or  regulation, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any  Governmental Authority; or (c) violate or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under  this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, any indenture or other loan or credit  agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which  Borrower, or its property and assets may be bound or affected.  The Borrower is not in violation  or breach of or default under any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,  determination or award or any contract, agreement, lease, license, indenture or other instrument  to which it is a party, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to result in a  Material Adverse Change.

No approval, authorization or consent of any  trustee or holder of any Indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or of any other Person under  any agreement, contract, lease or license or similar document or instrument to which the  Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound, is required to be obtained by the Borrower  in order to make or consummate the transactions contemplated under the Transaction  Documents, except for those approvals, authorizations and consents that have been obtained on  or prior to the Closing Date or which the failure to obtain would not reasonably be expected to  result in a Material Adverse Change.  All consents and approvals of, filings and registrations  with, and other actions in respect of, all Governmental Authorities required to be obtained by  Borrower in order to make or consummate the transactions contemplated under the Transaction  Documents have been, or prior to the time when required will have been, obtained, given, filed  or taken and are or will be in full force and effect other than any such consents, approvals, filings  or registrations the failure to so obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to result in a  Material Adverse Change.               (i)   Margin Regulations.  The Borrower does not own any “margin security”,  as that term is defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board, and the proceeds of the  Loans funded hereunder will be used only for the purposes contemplated hereunder.  None of  such proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any  margin security, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally  incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause  the Loans under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of  Regulations T, U and X.  The Borrower will not take or permit any agent acting on its behalf to  take any action which might cause this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered by  the Borrower pursuant hereto to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.               (j)   Taxes.  All federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, reports and  statements required to be filed by the Borrower have been filed with the appropriate  Governmental Authorities, and all Taxes, Other Taxes and other impositions shown thereon to  be due and payable by the Borrower have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty,  interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof, or any such fine, penalty,  interest, late charge or loss has been paid, or the Borrower is contesting its liability therefor in  good faith and has fully reserved all such amounts according to GAAP in the financial statements  provided pursuant to Section 625 of this Agreement.

                Investment Company Act.  The Borrower will be relying on an exemption or exclusion from the  definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act contained in  Section 3(a)(1), although there may be additional exemptions or exclusions available to the  Borrower.  The Borrower is not relying on the exemptions set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or  Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.  The Borrower is structured so as not to  constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule under the Dodd-Frank Act.               (l)   Solvency and Separateness.

(iii) At all times, at least one (1) member of the board of directors of the             Borrower shall qualify as an Independent Manager (as defined in the Borrower’s             limited liability company agreement).                    (iv)  The Borrower’s funds and assets are not, and will not be,             commingled with those of the Manager, except as permitted by the Management             Agreement.

(m)   No Event of Default or Early Amortization Event.  No Event of Default  or Early Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing hereunder.  No event or condition  that with notice or the passage of time (or both) could reasonably be expected to constitute an  Event of Default or Early Amortization Event has occurred or is continuing.               (n)   Litigation and Contingent Liabilities.  No claims, litigation, arbitration  proceedings or governmental proceedings by any Governmental Authority are pending or  threatened against or are affecting Borrower the results of which will materially and adversely                                        75

The Borrower has good, legal and marketable title to each  of its respective assets, and none of such assets is subject to any Lien, except for Permitted  Encumbrances and the Liens created or permitted pursuant to this Agreement.               (p)   Subsidiaries.  The Borrower has no Subsidiaries.               (q)   No Partnership.  The Borrower is not a partner or joint venturer in any  partnership or joint venture.               (r)   Pension and Welfare Plans.  During the twelve-consecutive-month period  prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, no steps have been taken to  terminate any Plan, and no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Plan, sufficient  to give rise to a lien under section 303(k) of ERISA.  No condition exists or event or transaction  has occurred with respect to any Plan which could result in the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate  of the Borrower incurring any material liability, fine or penalty.  As of the Closing Date, the  Borrower is not a Benefit Plan Investor.               (s)   Ownership of the Borrower.  All of the issued and outstanding  membership interests of the Borrower are owned by Triton International Finance LLC.               (t)   Security Interest Representations.                    (i)   This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as             defined in the UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit             of the Secured Parties, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is             enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower.                    (ii)  The Containers constitute “goods” within the meaning of the             applicable UCC.  The Leases constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning             of the UCC.  The lease receivables constitute “accounts” or “proceeds” of the             Leases with the meaning of the UCC.  The Distribution Account, the Revenue             Reserve Account and the Restricted Cash Account constitute “securities accounts”             within the meaning of the UCC.  The Borrower’s contractual rights under any             Hedge Agreements, the Contribution and Sale Agreement and the Management             Agreement constitute “general intangibles” within the meaning of the UCC.                    (iii) The Borrower owns and has good and marketable title to the             Collateral, free and clear of any Lien (whether senior, junior or pari passu), claim             or encumbrance of any Person, except for Permitted Encumbrances.                    (iv)  The Borrower has caused or shall on the Closing Date cause the             filing of all appropriate financing statements or documents of similar import in the             proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order             to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent in             this Agreement.                                        76                

 

                       (v)   Other than the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent               pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted               a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral, except as               permitted pursuant to this Agreement.  The Borrower has not authorized the filing               of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against the Borrower that include               a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statement               or document of similar import (i) relating to the security interest granted to the               Collateral Agent in this Agreement or (ii) that has been terminated.  The Borrower               has no actual knowledge of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Borrower.                     (vi)  Pursuant to Section 3.3.5 of the Management Agreement, the              Manager has acknowledged that it is holding the Leases, to the extent they relate to              the Managed Containers on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the Collateral Agent,              for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Seller has caused or shall on the Closing              Date cause the filing of all appropriate financing statements or documents of similar              import in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable              Law in order to perfect the ownership interest of the Borrower (and the Collateral              Agent as its assignee) in the Leases (to the extent that such Leases relate to the              Managed Containers) arising under the Contribution and Sale Agreement and/or              the First-Tier Contribution and Sale Agreement.                      (vii) The Borrower has received all necessary consents and approvals              required by the terms of the Collateral to the pledge to the Collateral Agent of its              interest and rights in such Collateral hereunder or under this Agreement.                     (viii) Wilmington Trust, National Association (in its capacity as              Securities Intermediary) has identified in its records the Collateral Agent as the              Person having a Security Entitlement in each of the Distribution Account, the              Revenue Reserve Account and the Restricted Cash Account.                     (ix)  Each of the Distribution Account, the Revenue Reserve Account and              the Restricted Cash Account is not in the name of any Person other than the              Borrower.  The Borrower has not consented for Wilmington Trust, National              Association (as the securities intermediary of the Distribution Account, the              Revenue Reserve Account and the Restricted Cash Account) to comply with              Entitlement Orders with respect to such account of any Person other than the              Collateral Agent.                     (x)   No creditor of the Borrower (other than (x) with respect to the              Managed Containers, the related lessee and (y) the Manager in its capacity as              Manager under the Management Agreement) has in its possession any goods that              constitute or evidence the Collateral, other than for purposes of repair,              refurbishment, painting, positioning, storage and other similar matters with respect              to Managed Containers.   The representations and warranties set forth in this clause (t) shall survive until this Agreement is  terminated in accordance with its terms hereof.  Any breaches of the representations and warranties                                          77

None of the Borrower, any of its members   or any other Person has elected, or agreed to elect, to treat the Borrower as an association taxable   as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.                (v)   Information.  No information, exhibit, financial statement, document,   book, record or report furnished or to be furnished by it to the Administrative Agent or a Lender   in writing (i) is or will be inaccurate in any material respect as of the date it is or shall be dated   or (except as otherwise disclosed to the recipient thereof at the time of delivery or thereafter) as   of the date so furnished and (ii) no such document contains or will contain any material   misstatement of fact or omits or shall omit to state a material fact necessary to make the   statements contained therein not misleading in light of the statements made therein, in each case   as of the date it is or shall be dated or (except as otherwise disclosed to the recipient thereof at   the time of delivery or thereafter) as of the date so furnished.

(x)   Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws.  The   operations of the Borrower are and have been conducted at all times in material compliance with   all Anti-Corruption Laws applicable to it as well as financial recordkeeping and reporting   requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended.

The Borrower will not fund any   repayment of the Loans in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering   Laws applicable to it.  No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrower, any   Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, in violation of any Anti-Corruption   Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws applicable to it.                                         78

Section 502 Survival of Representations and Warranties.  So long as any Loan is  Outstanding and until payment and performance in full of the Outstanding Obligations, the  representations and warranties contained herein shall have a continuing effect as having been true  when made.                                    ARTICLE VI                                                                           COVENANTS         For so long as any Outstanding Obligations have not been paid or performed, the Borrower  shall observe each of the following covenants:         Section 601 Payment of Principal and Interest; Payment of Taxes.

(b)   The Borrower will take all actions as are necessary to insure that all taxes,   assessments and governmental levies that are payable by the Borrower are paid when due except   (i) such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and (ii) if the failure to   make such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders and does not give rise   to any Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances.          Section 602 Maintenance of Office.  The Borrower shall not establish a new place of  business or location for its chief executive office or change its jurisdiction of formation unless (i)  the Borrower shall provide each of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Hedge  Counterparty not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of its intention so to do, clearly  describing such new location and providing such other information in connection therewith as the  Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, or each Hedge Counterparty may reasonably request,  (ii) not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such relocation, the Borrower shall  have taken, at its own cost, all action necessary so that such change of location does not impair the                                         79

Section 603 Corporate Existence.  The Borrower will keep in full effect its existence,   rights and franchises as a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of   Delaware, and will obtain and preserve its qualification in each jurisdiction in which such   qualification is necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, except where   the failure to obtain or preserve such qualification is not reasonably expected to result in a Material   Adverse Change.

The Borrower will from time to time execute (if   applicable) and deliver all financing statements, all amendments thereto and continuation   statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will, upon the reasonable   request of the Manager, the Administrative Agent, or any Hedge Counterparty, take such other   action necessary or advisable to:                 (a)   maintain or preserve the Lien of this Agreement (and the priority thereof)    including executing and filing such documents as may be required under any international    convention for the perfection of interests in Managed Containers that may be adopted subsequent    to the date of this Agreement;                 (b)   perfect, publish notice of, and protect the validity of the security interest    in the Collateral created pursuant to this Agreement;                 (c)   enforce any of the items of the Collateral;                 (d)   preserve and defend its right, title and interest to the Collateral and the    rights of the Collateral Agent in such Collateral against the claims of all Persons (other than the    Lenders); and                                           80    

 

                (e)   pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the   Collateral, except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where   the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders.   In furtherance of clauses (b) and (c) above, the Borrower hereby agrees that if at any time  subsequent to a Closing Date there is a change in Applicable Law (or a change in the interpretation  of Applicable Law as in effect on such Closing Date) which, in the reasonable judgment of the  Majority Lenders, may affect the perfection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the  Collateral, then the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after request from the Majority Lenders,  furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, an Opinion of Counsel either (i)  stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording,  filing, recording and refiling of this Agreement, and any other requisite documents, and with  respect to the filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to  maintain the Lien created by this Agreement and reciting the details of such action, or (ii) stating  that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain such Lien.

(a)   Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Management   Agreement or the Contribution and Sale Agreement, the Borrower will not take, or fail to take,   any action, and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, which   would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or obligations under any   agreement or instrument included in the Collateral, or which would result in the amendment,   hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness   of, any such agreement or instrument; provided that, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the   Borrower, or the Manager on the Borrower’s behalf, from renegotiating, amending or consenting   to waivers to Leases in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement.                (b)   Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the consent of   the Collateral Agent or any Lender for the exercise by any Hedge Counterparty of its rights to   (i) terminate the related Hedge Agreement in accordance with its terms in the event of any event   of default or termination event (however defined) under such Hedge Agreement, (ii) undertake   any permitted transfer under any Hedge Agreement, or (iii) reduce the notional amount in   accordance with the terms of any Hedge Agreement in the event of a notional reduction event   (however defined).

                     (vi)  in connection with a Casualty Loss.         Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations of this Section 606(a), the Borrower may sell  Managed Containers to the Seller (or its designated Affiliate) in order to permit the Borrower to  refinance Indebtedness in an amount of at least Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000)  incurred by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement on no more than twelve (12) occasions in  any calendar year subject to satisfaction of all of the following conditions:                (A)   no Event of Default, Early Amortization Event or Asset Base Deficiency is                    then continuing or would result from such sale, after giving effect to such                    sale and any required prepayment of the Loans;               (B)   the Sales Proceeds received by the Borrower from such sale is an amount in                    cash that is not less than the greater of (i) the sum of the Fair Market Values                    of the sold Managed Containers, and (ii) the sum of the Net Book Value of                    the sold Managed Containers; provided, however, that if the Conversion                    Date has not occurred, without limiting or modifying the conditions in                    clause (A) above, the Sale Proceeds for such sale of Managed Containers                    may, at the option of the Borrower, be paid by the Seller (or such designated                    Affiliate) as follows:                           (x)   cash in an amount not less than the product of (A) the                    Advance Rate and (B) the sum of the Net Book Values of the sold Managed                    Containers; and                           (y)   an unsecured obligation of the Seller (or its designated                    Affiliate) payable in cash on the next succeeding Payment Date in an                    amount equal to the excess of (i) the Sales Proceeds payable pursuant to                    clause (B) above over (ii) the cash paid pursuant to clause (x) above.  If no                    Early Amortization Event, Manager Default or Asset Base Deficiency is                    continuing on such Payment Date, such unsecured obligation of the Seller                    (or its designated Affiliate) will be distributed on such Payment Date by the                    Borrower to the Seller (or its designated Affiliate) as a deemed distribution.         The Borrower may, without limiting or modifying the conditions in clause (A) above,  utilize the cash proceeds of such sale of Managed Containers to make a prepayment of the Loans  on the date of such sale notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained in this Agreement,  including, without limitation, in the definition of the term “Available Distribution Amount”, or  any advance prepayment notice required under Section 301(o).          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during the continuation of an Early Amortization  Event, the Borrower shall not sell all, or substantially all, of the Managed Containers without the  consent of the Majority Lenders and each Hedge Counterparty if an Asset Base Deficiency shall  have occurred and be continuing or would result from such proposed sale after giving effect to the  application of the proceeds of such sales.                                          83

(b)   claim any credit on, make any deduction from the principal, premium, if    any, or interest payable in respect of the Loans (other than amounts properly withheld from such    payments under any Applicable Law) or assert any claim against any present or former Lender    by reason of the payment of any taxes levied or assessed upon any of the Collateral; or                 (c)   release any item from the Collateral, except as permitted pursuant to the    terms of a Transaction Document.          Section 607 Corporate Separateness of the Borrower.                 (a)   The Borrower shall (1) conduct its business in its own name, (2) maintain    its books and records separate from those of any other Person, (3) not commingle its funds with    any other Person (except for any commingling of Collections which may occur prior to the    identification and segregation of such amounts in accordance with the terms of the Management    Agreement and Intercreditor Collateral Agreement) and maintain its bank accounts separate from    those of any other Person, (4) maintain separate financial statements, showing its assets and    liabilities separate and apart from those of any other Person, (5) hold itself out as a separate entity    and (6) observe all other organizational formalities.

(a)   On or before the Hedge Effective Date, the Borrower will enter into, and  maintain one or more Interest Rate Hedge Agreements that meet the following requirements (the  “Hedging Requirement”): (i) the aggregate notional balance of all such Interest Rate Hedge  Agreements will equal or exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the Required Hedge Base  Amount, (ii) the aggregate notional balance of all outstanding Interest Rate Hedge Agreements  (other than interest rate cap agreements) will be less than or equal to one hundred five percent  (105%) of the Required Hedge Base Amount, and (iii) all such outstanding Interest Rate Hedge  Agreements shall terminate no earlier than (1) if the Hedge Effective Date occurs sixty (60) days  or more prior to the Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date, the Conversion Date, (2) if the  Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date has not been extended for a minimum of one year by  the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the then existing Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date then in  effect, the Final Maturity Date and (3) as of any other date of determination not covered in clause  (1) or (2), the Final Maturity Date.  If the Borrower elects to satisfy all or a portion of the Hedging  Requirement through the purchase of interest rate caps, the strike rate on such interest rate caps  shall not exceed an interest rate per annum equal to the higher of (i) five and one half percent  (5.50%) and (ii) an interest rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) one and one quarter percent  (1.25%) and (y) the duration equivalent swap rate at the date on which such interest rate cap is  purchased.               (b)   If the Borrower, or the Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, fails to  comply with the Hedging Requirement, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in their sole  discretion and at the expense of the Borrower, upon thirty (30) days’ notice, if necessary (as  determined in the sole discretion of the Majority Lenders), to direct the Borrower, to enter into,  maintain or terminate (in whole or in part), one or more Interest Rate Hedge Agreements selected  by the Majority Lenders (in their sole discretion) such that, after giving effect to such action, the  Borrower will be in compliance with the Hedging Requirement. In the event the Majority  Lenders determine to direct the Borrower to enter into, maintain or terminate (in whole or in  part) an Interest Rate Hedge Agreement, the Majority Lenders may provide the Collateral Agent  and Manager on behalf of the Borrower with a written direction to deposit in the Distribution  Account certain amounts to reimburse the Majority Lenders or a third party for the costs of such  Interest Rate Hedge Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Borrower to comply  with the Hedging Requirement shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 628 if remedied by  the Borrower within thirty (30) days; provided, that, if such failure is not remedied within such  thirty-day period, to the extent it is deemed a breach, such breach will be deemed to have  occurred as of the start of such period and will not be entitled to the initial thirty-day cure period  that would otherwise be available under Section 801(5)(a), but will be entitled to the additional  thirty-day cure period set forth in the proviso thereto.               (c)   All payments received from all such Interest Rate Hedge Agreements  shall be deposited directly into the Distribution Account.               (d)   Upon written direction from the Borrower, the Collateral Agent will  establish a separate segregated trust account for each separate Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty  in the name of the Collateral Agent (each a “Counterparty Collateral Account”).

      the Counterparty Collateral Account shall be remitted to the applicable Interest Rate Hedge    Provider upon written request of the Manager on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the    terms of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement.  The Collateral Agent shall, upon    direction, deposit all collateral received from an Interest Rate Hedge Provider under an Interest    Rate Hedge Agreement in the related Counterparty Collateral Account. The only permitted    withdrawal from, or application of funds on deposit in, a Counterparty Collateral Account shall    be, upon written direction of the Manager on behalf of the Borrower, (i) for application to    obligations of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Provider to the Borrower under its Interest Rate    Hedge Agreement if such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement becomes subject to early termination,    or (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, to return collateral or    investment earnings to such Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty when and as required by such    Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. Investments of funds on deposit in the Counterparty Collateral    Account shall be invested in accordance with Section 303 hereunder. To the extent the Collateral    Agent receives conflicting instructions from the Borrower or the Manager on behalf of the    Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall take direction from the Borrower.          Section 629 Reserved.          Section 630 Sanctions.

If the Borrower obtains   knowledge that a Managed Container is subleased to a Sanctioned Person or located or used in a   Sanctioned Country in a manner which would violate any applicable Sanction by the Borrower,   then the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day after obtaining knowledge thereof, remove   such Managed Container from the Asset Base for so long as such condition continues.          Section 631 Tax Election of the Borrower.  The Borrower will not elect or agree to elect   to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax or any   State income or franchise tax purposes.          Section 632 Reserved.          Section 633 Compliance with Law.  The Borrower shall comply with any applicable   statute, license, rule or regulation by which it or any of its properties may be bound if the failure   to comply would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.          Section 634 Lender Tax Identification Information.  Each Lender shall provide the   Borrower and the Collateral Agent with such Lender Tax Identification Information as requested  from time to time by the Borrower or the Collateral Agent.  Each Lender will be deemed to  understand that each of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent has the right to (i) withhold tax  (including without limitation FATCA Withholding Tax) on interest and other applicable amounts  under the Code (without any corresponding gross-up) payable with respect to each Lender that  fails to comply with the foregoing requirements or as otherwise required under the Code or other  Applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, FATCA) and (ii) provide such information  and documentation and any other information concerning its interest in the applicable Loans to the   IRS and any other relevant U.S. or foreign tax authority.

Notwithstanding any other  provisions herein, the term “Applicable Law” for purposes of this Section 634 includes U.S.  federal tax law and FATCA.  Upon request from the Collateral Agent, the Borrower will provide  such additional information that it may have to assist the Collateral Agent in making any  withholdings or informational reports.         Section 635 Amendment of Intercreditor Collateral Agreement.  Without the prior  written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Borrower shall not consent to any amendment,  modification or revision to the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement except for any supplement  thereto needed to designate an additional “Managed Equipment Owner” or “Managed Equipment  Lender”, as each such term is defined in the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement.         Section 636 Inspection.                (a)   Upon reasonable request, the Borrower agrees that it shall make available   to any representative of each of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and   any Hedge Counterparty and their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or accountants, for   inspection and copying its books of account, records and reports relating to the Managed   Containers and copies of all Leases or other documents relating thereto at the times and in   accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement.  Any expense incident to the   reasonable exercise by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Counterparty   or the Lenders of any right under this Section (except for one annual inspection at the expense   of the Borrower) shall be borne by the Person exercising such right unless an Early Amortization   Event, Manager Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing in which   case such expenses shall be borne by the Borrower.                (b)   The Borrower also agrees to make available on a reasonable basis to each   of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Hedge Counterparty a   Managing Officer for the purpose of answering reasonable questions respecting recent   developments affecting the Borrower.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as  provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such  Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information  as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

During each calendar year, the Borrower shall contact its   insurance broker and determine whether or not liability and terrorism insurance is commercially   available to the container leasing industry (including coverage of international operations) at   commercially reasonable rates and terms.  If such liability and terrorism insurance is commercially   available at commercially reasonable rates and terms, such determination to be reasonably made   by the Manager, then the Borrower or the Manager, on the Borrower’s behalf, shall enter into and   maintain liability and terrorism insurance in amounts at least equal to that maintained by similarly   situated container leasing companies as long as such coverage continues to be available at   commercially reasonable rates and terms.                                          92

On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall be    required to prepay all, or a portion of, the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance, and all amounts    due under the related Hedge Agreements (including any termination payments), in the amount    of any Supplemental Principal Payment Amount that may exist on such Payment Date,    determined after giving effect to the acquisition by the Borrower of additional Eligible    Containers, which amounts shall be paid in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in    Section 302 hereof. The calculations referred to herein shall be evidenced by the Asset Base    Certificate received by the Administrative Agent on the related Determination Date.                      (b)   Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may, from time to time, make an    optional Prepayment of principal of the Loans pursuant to Section 301(o) of this Agreement.

Section 807 Reserved.           Section 808 Reserved.          Section 809 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Collateral Agent or any Lender   has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such   Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely   to the Collateral Agent or to such Lender, then and in every such case, subject to any determination   in such Proceeding, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall be restored severally   and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the  Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.                                          101    

 

         Section 810 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy conferred upon or  reserved to the Collateral Agent, any Hedge Counterparty or to the Lenders pursuant to this  Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy  shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy  given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or  employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent  assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.         Section 811 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Collateral  Agent, of any Hedge Counterparty or of any Lenders to exercise any right or remedy accruing  upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such  Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by  law to the Collateral Agent, any Hedge Counterparty, or to the Lenders may be exercised from  time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Collateral Agent, by any Hedge  Counterparty or by the Lenders, as the case may be.         Section 812 Control by Majority Lenders.                (a)   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Majority Lenders shall   have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy   available to the Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Collateral   Agent, provided that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this   Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 804 hereof and (ii) the Collateral Agent may   take any other action deemed proper by the Collateral Agent which is not inconsistent with such   direction.                (b)   Notwithstanding the grant of a security interest to secure the Outstanding   Obligations owing to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all rights to   direct actions or to exercise rights or remedies under this Agreement or the UCC (including these   set forth in Section 804 hereof) shall be vested solely in the Majority Lenders and, by accepting   the benefits of this Agreement, each Secured Party acknowledges such statement; provided,   however, that nothing contained in this paragraph shall constitute a modification of Section 808,   Section 813(b) or Section 815(d) hereof.         Section 813 Waiver of Past Defaults.  (a)  The Majority Lenders may, on behalf of all  the Lenders, waive any past Event of Default and its consequences, except an Event of Default:                     (i)   in the payment of (x) the principal outstanding amount of the Loans              on the Final Maturity Date of the Loans, (y) interest on the Loans on any Payment              Date, or (z) fees in respect of the Loans on any Payment Date, all of which defaults              can be waived solely by the affected Lenders;                      (ii)  in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be              modified or amended without the consent of all of the Lenders; or                     (iii) which requires the consent of a Hedge Counterparty under Section              1007 hereof, in which event the consent of such Hedge Counterparty must be                                        102   

 

               obtained for the Majority Lenders to waive such Event of Default on behalf of all              the Lenders.                (b)   Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall   be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement;   provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to (i) any subsequent or other Event of   Default or impair any right consequent thereon or (ii) affect any Hedge Agreement which has   been terminated in accordance with its terms.         Section 814 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Borrower covenants (to the extent  that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner  whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,  now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this  Agreement; and the Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives  all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the  execution of any power herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the  execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.         Section 815 Sale of Collateral.                (a)   The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral   pursuant to Section 804 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion   of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral shall   have been sold or all Outstanding Obligations shall have been paid in full. The Collateral Agent   at the direction of the Majority Lenders may from time to time postpone any Sale by public   announcement made at the time and place of such Sale.                (b)   Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or   under judgment, order or decree in any Proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the   enforcement of this Agreement:  (i) the Collateral Agent, at the written direction of the Majority   Lenders, may bid for and purchase the property being sold, and upon compliance with the terms   of such Sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in accordance with the   terms of this Agreement; and (ii) the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of any officer thereof   making such Sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such Sale for   its or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and its or their assigns or personal   representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the   Collateral Agent or of such officer thereof, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase   money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misappropriation or non-application thereof.                (c)   The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument   of conveyance provided to it transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection   with a Sale thereof. In addition, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent   and attorney-in-fact of the Borrower to transfer and convey its interest (subject to lessees’ rights   of quiet enjoyment) in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take   all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound   to ascertain the Collateral Agent’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions   precedent or see to the application of any monies.                                        103   

 

                (d)   The Collateral Agent acknowledges that its right to sell, transfer or   otherwise convey any Hedge Agreement or any transaction outstanding thereunder, or to   exercise foreclosure rights with respect thereto shall be subject to compliance with the provisions   of the applicable Hedge Agreement.         Section 816 Collateral Agent Action.  The Collateral Agent’s right to seek and recover  judgment on the Loans or under this Agreement shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or  application of any other relief under or with respect to this Agreement. Neither the Lien of this  Agreement nor any rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent, any Hedge Counterparty or the  Lenders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Collateral Agent against the  Borrower or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral  or upon any of the assets of the Borrower.                                    ARTICLE IX                                                                     THE COLLATERAL AGENT         Section 901 Duties of the Collateral Agent.  Each of the Lenders hereby (i) appoints  Wilmington Trust, N.A. to act as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other  Transaction Documents and as its “representative” as such term is used in the UCC, and (ii)  authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Collateral Agreement and  the Control Agreements. The Collateral Agent, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or  after the cure or waiver of any Event of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform  such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied  duties shall be inferred against it.  If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the  Collateral Agent, at the written direction of the Majority Lenders, shall exercise such of the rights  and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise  as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s  own affairs.         The Collateral Agent, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,  reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Collateral Agent which are  specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement, shall, as  expressly set forth in this Agreement, determine whether they are substantially in the form required  by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for  investigating or re-calculating, evaluating, certifying, verifying or independently determining the  accuracy or content (including mathematical calculations) of any such resolution, certificate,  statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished pursuant to this  Agreement.         No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from  liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct;  provided, however, that:                     (i)   Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the cure or              waiver of any Event of Default that may have occurred, the duties and obligations              of the Collateral Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this                                        104   

 

               Agreement issued pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Collateral Agent shall not be              liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically              set forth in this Agreement issued pursuant to the terms hereof, and no implied              covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral              Agent and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the              Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the              correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates, statements,              reports, documents, orders, opinions or other instruments (whether in their original              or facsimile form) furnished to the Collateral Agent and conforming to the              requirements of this Agreement;                     (ii)  The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for actions taken, or any              error of judgment made, in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible              Officers of the Collateral Agent, unless it shall be proved that the Collateral Agent              was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and                     (iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action              taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the              direction of the Majority Lenders relating to the time, method and place of              conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Collateral Agent, or              exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Collateral Agent, under this              Agreement.         No provisions of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its  own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or  in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that  repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not  reasonably assured to it.         Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Agreement relating  to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Collateral Agent shall be  subject to the provisions of this Section 901.         Section 902 Certain Matters Affecting the Collateral Agent.  (a) Except as otherwise  provided in Section 901 hereof:                     (i)   The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely and shall be fully              protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any Opinion of Counsel,              certificate of an officer of the Borrower, the Manager or the Administrative Agent,              certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,              report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document              (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have              been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;                     (ii)  The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and              any advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and                                         105   

 

                 protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in               good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion;                      (iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action it               takes or omits to take in accordance with a direction received by it from the               Borrower, the Manager, the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders in               accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.               The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend              any litigation or Proceeding hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or              direction of the Majority Lenders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,              unless the Majority Lenders shall have offered to the Collateral Agent security or              indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities              which may be incurred therein or thereby; and                     (iv)  The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken,              suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within              the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;                 (b)   The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to take any discretionary action,    including any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,    statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other    paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority Lenders; provided,    however, that the Collateral Agent may require security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to    it against any cost, expense or liability likely to be incurred in making such investigation as a    condition to so proceeding.

(a)   The recitals contained herein (other than the representations and warranties   contained in Section 911 hereof) shall be taken as the statements of the Borrower, and the   Collateral Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness.  The Collateral Agent makes no   representations as to, and shall not be responsible for, the validity, legality, enforceability or   adequacy or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Collateral or of any Transaction Document, or as   to the correctness of any statement contained in any thereof; provided that this sentence shall not   limit the representations and warranties made by the Collateral Agent in Section 911.  The   Collateral Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Borrower of the Loans   or of the proceeds thereof, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Borrower or the   Manager in respect of the Collateral.

(c)   Except as expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall not have any  obligation or liability under any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the  granting of a security interest in such Contract hereunder or the receipt by the Collateral Agent of   any payment relating to any Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required   or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Borrower, the Seller   or the Manager under or pursuant to any Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry   as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it, or the sufficiency of any   performance by any party, under any Contract.          Section 904 Reserved.          Section 905 Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses.  The fees and expenses (“Collateral   Agent Fees”) of the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Borrower in accordance with Section   302 or 806 hereof.  Subject to the provisions of Section 902(a)(iii) hereof, the Borrower shall   indemnify the Collateral Agent and each of its officers, directors and employees for, and hold them   harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, claim or out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable  and documented out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses and court costs), in each case incurred  without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the  acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself both  individually and in its representative capacity against any claim or liability in connection with the  exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and those incurred in connection  with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the Collateral Agent’s right to indemnification  (“Collateral Agent Indemnified Amounts”). Upon request from the Borrower or any Lender, the  Collateral Agent shall provide to such requesting party reasonable detail of all Collateral Agent  Indemnified Amounts and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent.          The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 905 to compensate the Collateral Agent,   to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent for expenses, disbursements and advances and to   indemnify and hold harmless, the Collateral Agent shall constitute Outstanding Obligations   hereunder and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the satisfaction   and discharge and assignment of this Agreement.         When the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event  of Default specified in Section 801(6) or Section 801(7), the expenses and the compensation for   the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Insolvency Law.          Section 906 Eligibility Requirements for the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent   hereunder shall at all times be a national banking association or a corporation organized and doing   business under the laws of the United States of America or any State, and authorized under such   laws to exercise corporate trust powers.

   by Moody’s and S&P.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant  to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of  this Section 906, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its  combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  In  case at any time the Collateral Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions  of this Section, the Collateral Agent shall resign promptly in the manner and with the effect  specified in Section 907 hereof.         Section 907 Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent  may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice  thereof to the Borrower, the Manager, the Administrative Agent, each Hedge Counterparty and  each Lender.  Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Borrower, at the direction and subject  to the consent of the Majority Lenders, shall promptly appoint a successor agent by written  instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning  Collateral Agent, each Hedge Counterparty, the Administrative Agent and one copy to the  successor Collateral Agent.  If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed and  have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the  Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Collateral Agent or, if it does not do so within 30 days  thereafter, the resigning Collateral Agent may petition at the expense of the Borrower any court of  competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, which successor  Collateral Agent shall meet the eligibility standards set forth in Section 906.         If at any time the Collateral Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the  provisions of Section 906 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the  Borrower, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, or if at any time the Collateral Agent shall  become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the  Collateral Agent or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or  control of the Collateral Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,  conservation or liquidation, then the Borrower, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, shall  remove the Collateral Agent and appoint a successor Collateral Agent by written instrument, in  duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent so removed and  one copy to the successor Collateral Agent.  If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so  appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after such removal, the Majority Lenders  may appoint a successor Collateral Agent or, if it does not do so within 30 days after such  resignation or removal, the departing Collateral Agent may petition at the expense of the Borrower  any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, which  successor Collateral Agent shall meet the eligibility standards set forth in Section 906.         In addition, the Borrower may, with the consent of the Majority Lenders, remove the  Collateral Agent for cause (which includes a determination by the Borrower and/or the Majority  Lenders that Collateral Agent Indemnified Amounts and expenses are excessive) and appoint a  successor Collateral Agent with prior written notice by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy  of which instrument shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent so removed and one copy to the  successor Collateral Agent. In connection with any such removal of the Collateral Agent, the  departing Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid Collateral Agent Fees  and Collateral Agent Indemnified Amounts.                                        110   

 

           Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor   Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon   acceptance of appointment by the successor Collateral Agent as provided in Section 908 hereof.          Section 908 Successor Collateral Agent.  Any successor Collateral Agent appointed as   provided in Section 907 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Borrower, each   Secured Party and to its predecessor Collateral Agent an instrument accepting such appointment  hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Collateral Agent shall  become effective and such successor Collateral Agent, without any further act, deed or  conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its  predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as the Collateral Agent herein.  The  predecessor Collateral Agent shall upon payment of all charges due it, its agents and counsel  deliver to the successor Collateral Agent all documents relating to the Collateral, if any, delivered   to it, together with any amount remaining in the Distribution Account, the Revenue Reserve   Account and the Restricted Cash Account.  In addition, the predecessor Collateral Agent and, upon   request of the successor Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver such instruments   and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and   confirming in the successor Collateral Agent all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.          No successor Collateral Agent shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless   at the time of such acceptance such successor Collateral Agent shall be eligible under the   provisions of Section 906 hereof and shall be acceptable to the Majority Lenders.          Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Collateral Agent as provided in this   Section, the Borrower shall mail notice of the succession of such Collateral Agent hereunder to all   Lenders at their respective addresses as shown in the registration books maintained by the   Administrative Agent.  If the Borrower fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after   acceptance of appointment by the successor Collateral Agent, the successor Collateral Agent shall   cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Borrower.          Section 909 Merger or Consolidation of the Collateral Agent.

Section 910 Separate Collateral Agents, Co-Collateral Agents and Custodians.  If the   Collateral Agent is not capable of acting for jurisdictional purposes, it shall have the power from   time to time to appoint one or more Persons or corporations to act either as co-agents jointly with   the Collateral Agent, or as separate agents, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to,   foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any of the Collateral, when such separate   agent or co-agent is necessary or advisable under any Applicable Laws or for the purpose of   otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any applicable   jurisdiction.  The separate agents, co-agents, or custodians so appointed shall be agents, co-agents,   or custodians for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall have such powers, rights and remedies                                         111    

 

     as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such   appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Collateral Agent   and the Collateral Agent shall not have any liability relating to such appointment.  The Borrower   shall join in any such appointment, but such joining shall not be necessary for the effectiveness of   such appointment.         Every separate agent, co-agent and custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, be   appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:                      (i)   all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the               Collateral Agent in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be               exercised solely by the Collateral Agent;                      (ii)  all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed               upon the Collateral Agent shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or               performed by the Collateral Agent and such separate agent, co-agent, or custodian               jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any               particular act or acts are to be performed the Collateral Agent shall be incompetent               or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties               and obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral or any portion              thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate              agent, co-agent or custodian;                      (iii) no agent, co-agent, separate agent or custodian hereunder shall be               personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other agent, co-agent,              separate agent or custodian hereunder; and                 (b)   the Borrower or the Collateral Agent may at any time accept the    resignation of or remove any separate agent, co-agent or custodian so appointed by it or them if    such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.         Any notice, request or other writing given to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have  been given to each of the then separate agents and co-agents, as effectively as if given to each of  them. Every instrument appointing any separate agent, co-agent, or custodian shall refer to this  Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate agent and co-agent, upon its  acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its  instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Collateral Agent or separately, as may be  provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every  provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording  protection to, the Collateral Agent. Every such instrument shall be furnished to the Collateral  Agent and each Hedge Counterparty.         Any separate agent, co-agents, or custodian may, at any time, constitute the Collateral  Agent, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by  law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any  separate agent, co-agent, or custodian shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed,  all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the                                         112    

 

   Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor  agent or custodian.         No separate agent, co-agent or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of  eligibility as a successor agent under Section 906 hereof and no notice to the Lenders of the  appointment thereof shall be required under Section 908 hereof.         The Collateral Agent agrees to instruct the co-agents, if any, to the extent necessary to  fulfill the Collateral Agent’s obligations hereunder.         Section 911 Representations and Warranties.

The Collateral Agent has the power, authority and legal   right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and   performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Collateral Agent by all   necessary corporate action;                (c)   Binding Obligations.  This Agreement, assuming due authorization,   execution and delivery by the Borrower, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of   the Collateral Agent, enforceable against the Collateral Agent in accordance with its terms,   except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,   moratorium or other similar laws (whether statutory, regulatory or decisional) now or hereafter   in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and the rights of trust companies in particular and   (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may   be subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any   Proceeding therefor may be brought, whether in a Proceeding at law or in equity;                (d)   No Violation.

There are no Proceedings or investigations to which the   Collateral Agent is a party pending, or, to the knowledge of the Collateral Agent without   independent investigation, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency   or other tribunal or Governmental Authority (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (B)   seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement   or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the   performance by the Collateral Agent of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of,   this Agreement; and                                         113   

 

                (f)   Approvals.  Neither the execution or delivery by the Collateral Agent of   this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions by the Collateral Agent contemplated   hereby requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with or the   taking of any other action with respect to any Governmental Authority under any existing federal   or State of New York or State of Minnesota law governing the banking or trust powers of the   Collateral Agent.

For all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge  by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have  actual knowledge of any Event of Default or Early Amortization Event unless notified in writing  thereof by the Borrower, the Seller, the Manager, the Administrative Agent or a Lender, and such  notice references the Borrower or this Agreement.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be                            made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning                            Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect                            to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.                             (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any                            assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (i)(B) of                            this Section and the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to                            be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (w)                            an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of                            such assignment, or (x) such assignment is to an Eligible                            Assignee, or (y) such assignment is made by a Conduit Lender to                                          115    

 

                an Eligible Assignee, or (z) the Conversion Date shall have  occurred.   (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment  shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an  Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and  recordation fee of $3,500 (unless such assignment is made by a  Conduit Lender to an Eligible Assignee); provided that the  Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive  such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.   (v)  No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment  shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower's  Affiliates, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries,  or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would  constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof, or (C) a  Competitor.   (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment  shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company,  investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the  primary benefit of, a natural Person).   (vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any  assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender  hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until,  in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the  parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to  the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon  distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright  payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or  subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including  funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative  Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously  requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of  which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably  consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then  owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and  each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and  (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all  Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any  assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender  hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without  compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the  assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting  Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance  occurs.               116                

 

           From and after the effective date of such assignment, the Eligible Assignee shall be a   Lender under the Transaction Documents, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent  of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under  this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  In the case of an Assignment and   Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,   such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of   Section 301(q) and (t) with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date  of such assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this  Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this  Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance  with Section 1004.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall  not be obligated to pay to the Eligible Assignee any amount under Section 301(q) or Section 301(t)   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 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.          Section 1003 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 Aggregate Loan Principal Balance (and stated interest) 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 shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the   terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this 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 Transaction 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.          Section 1004 Participation.  (a) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of,   or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a   Competitor, the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion   of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans   owing to it); provided, that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain   unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other Borrower for the   performance of such obligations and (c) the Borrower, and the Lender shall continue to deal solely   and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this   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 Agreement and the other   Transaction Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision   of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; 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, and interest rate on,   the Loans, or extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest or the Final                                         117    

 

     Maturity Date.  Subject to clause (b) below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be   entitled to the benefits of Sections 301(q) and (t) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had   acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (1) above.                   (b)   Limitations on Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to    receive any greater payment under Sections 301(q) and/or (t) 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 shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 301(q) 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 301(q)(6) as though it were a Lender.                 (c)   Participant Register.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall 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    Transaction 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 the Loans or its other    obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such    disclosure (x) is necessary to establish that such loan or other obligation is in registered form    under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations  or (y) is reasonably    requested by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Seller or the    Manager in connection with any policies and procedures relating to applicable sanctions, anti-   bribery, anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws, regulations or rules. 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 Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of    doubt, neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility for    maintaining a Participant Register.          Section 1005 Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security   interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Loans) to secure   obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to (i) a   Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central Bank or any other applicable central bank or  Governmental Authority, or (ii) a collateral agent or a security trustee in connection with the  funding by such Lender of all or a portion of its investment in the Loans, without notice to or  consent of the Borrower or any other party; 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.          Section 1006 Electronic Execution.  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                                         118

Any consent or approval required  or permitted by this Agreement to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this  Agreement, the other Transaction 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  Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or such other instrument or the continuance of any  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 Majority 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              Supplemental Principal Payment Amount, the unpaid principal of any Loans or any              fees or other amounts payable to any Lender hereunder or under any other              Transaction Document or reduce the amount or rate of interest (or fees) on the              Loans or the priority thereof (other than interest at the Default Rate accruing before              or after the date of any waiver by the Majority Lenders of the Event of Default              relating thereto);                     (ii)  postpone or extend any Payment 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 301(i), and (B) any              vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to Section 802 of amounts owing              with respect to the Loans and other Outstanding Obligations shall require only the              approval of the Majority Lenders);                      (iii) release all, or substantially all, or permit the creation of any Lien              (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on the Collateral ranking prior to or party              with the Lien created by this Agreement; and                     (iv)  change the pro rata nature of payments to and from a Lender, and              increase or extend the Commitment of a Lender.                (b)   without the written consent of all of the Lenders, amend, modify or waive   this Section 1007, any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document   that expressly requires the consent of all of the Lenders, the definitions of “Eligible Container”,   “Majority Lenders”, “Asset Base”, “Aggregate Net Book Value”, or “Pro Rata Share”;                (c)   without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, amend or waive   Article IX, the amount or time of payment of any fee payable for the Collateral Agent’s account   or any other provision applicable to the Collateral Agent;                                         119   

 

                (d)   without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, amend or waive   Article XIV, 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;                 (e)   without the written consent of each affected Hedge Counterparty, (i)   amend, modify, waive or supplement any sections in this Agreement granting rights or benefits   with respect to Hedge Agreements or Hedge Counterparties if the effect of any such amendment,   modification, waiver or supplement is to modify in a manner adverse to such Hedge   Counterparty such rights or benefits; (ii) enter into any amendments, modifications, waivers or   supplements which would adversely affect or deprive such Hedge Counterparty of any rights   expressly granted to it under this Agreement or to subordinate any payment priority attributed to   such Hedge Counterparty; (iii) release all, or substantially all, or permit the creation of any Lien   (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on the Collateral ranking prior to or parri passu with the   Lien created by this Agreement; or (iv) waive an Event of Default if, at the time of such waiver,   the related Hedge Agreement has been previously terminated and the Hedge Counterparty is   owed any termination payments on account thereof; or                (f)   without the written consent of each Conduit Lender, amend, modify or   waive the definition of Eligible Assignee or any of Sections 301(b), 301(d), 636, 1002, 1311 or   1406, in each case, in a manner that adversely impacts such Conduit Lender.         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender will have any right  to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment,  waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender  may be effected with the consent of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (1)  the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent  of such Lender, (2) the amount of principal and accrued fees and interest owing to any Defaulting  Lender may not be reduced without the consent of such Lender, and (3) any waiver, amendment  or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects  any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders will require the consent of such  Defaulting Lender.

The Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into  any such amendment which affects the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under  this Agreement or otherwise.         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 Collateral Agent,  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.                                         120

As of any date of determination, the existence  of any one of the following events or conditions shall constitute an Early Amortization Event:               (1)   The occurrence of (i) an Event of Default, (ii) a breach by the Seller of any                    of its obligations under the Contribution and Sale Agreement or any other                    Transaction Document to which it is a party, which breach materially and                    adversely affects the interests of any Lender and which continues, if curable,                    for sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such breach, or (iii) any                    representation or warranty of the Seller made in the Contribution and Sale                    Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party shall                    prove to be inaccurate in any respect when made which materially and                    adversely affects the interest of any Lender, and such inaccuracy, if curable,                    continues for thirty (30) days after the date on which there has been given                    to the Borrower by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of a Lender), or to                    the Borrower and the Collateral Agent by any Lender, a written notice                    specifying such inaccuracy and requiring it to be remedied, provided,                    however, that if such inaccuracy is capable of cure and the Seller or the                    Borrower is diligently attempting to effect such cure at the end of such thirty                    (30) day period, the Seller and the Borrower shall be entitled to an additional                    thirty (30) day period in which to complete such cure; for the avoidance of                    doubt, a breach of any Container Representation and Warranty shall be                    considered to have been cured upon the repurchase by the Seller of the                    applicable Container and Related Assets with respect thereto;                                         123   

 

               (2)   a Manager Default shall have occurred and then be continuing;               (3)   if on any Payment Date an Asset Base Deficiency shall exist;               (4)   as of each Payment Date occurring after the Amendment Number 3                    Effective Date, the Borrower EBIT to Borrower Cash Interest Expense                    Ratio (as reported in the related Manager Report) shall be less than 1.3 to                    1.0; and               (5)   as of any Payment Date, the Weighted Average Age of the Eligible                    Containers (as reported in the related Manager Report) shall be greater than                    eight and one-half (8.5) years.   If the Early Amortization Event described in either of clauses (4) or (5) occurs, such condition  shall be deemed cured if it does not exist on any subsequent Payment Date as reported in the  Manager Report delivered on the Determination Date for such Payment Date, such cure to become  effective on such Payment Date.  Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, if an  Early Amortization Event exists on any Payment Date, then such Early Amortization Event shall  be deemed to continue until the Business Day on which the Majority Lenders waive, in writing,  such Early Amortization Event. The Collateral Agent shall promptly provide notice of any such  waiver to each Hedge Counterparty.         Section 1202 Remedies.  If an Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and then be  continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have in addition to the rights provided in the Transaction  Documents, all rights and remedies provided under all Applicable Laws.                                   ARTICLE XIII                                                                   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS         Section 1301 Compliance Certificates and Opinions.  Upon any application or request by  the Borrower to the Collateral Agent to take any action under any provision of this Agreement, the  Borrower shall furnish to the Collateral Agent a certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if  any, provided for in this Agreement have been complied with and, if required pursuant to the terms  of this Agreement, an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such  conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such  application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any  provision of this Agreement relating to such particular application or request, no additional  certificate or opinion need be furnished.               (a)   Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or  covenant provided for in this Agreement shall include:                     (i)   a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion              has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;                                         124   

 

                     (ii)  a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or              investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate              or opinion are based;                     (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he has made              such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an              informed opinion as to whether such covenant or condition has been complied with;              and               (b)   a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such  condition or covenant has been complied with; provided that in the case of an opinion delivered  by a law firm, such opinion may, but need not, make such statements with regard to the individual  signing such opinion.         Section 1302 Form of Documents Delivered to Collateral Agent.   In any case where  several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person,  it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such  Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may  certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to  other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or  several documents.               (a)   Any certificate or opinion may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters,  upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, another Person, unless the Person providing  such certificate or opinion knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to  the matters upon which such Person’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.               (b)   Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more  applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this  Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing   any such agent or of the execution of any written consent or direction shall be sufficient for any   purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, if   made in the manner provided in this Section.                (b)   The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument   or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a                                        125   

 

      notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying    that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution    thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual    capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The    fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person    executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Collateral Agent deems    sufficient.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be in conflict  with any applicable statute or rule of law or is otherwise held to be unenforceable for any reason  whatsoever, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question  inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision  or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever.         The invalidity of any one or more phrases, sentences, clauses or Sections of this Agreement  shall not affect the remaining portions of this Agreement, or any part thereof.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its  officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates, has made any representations  or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including, without  limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any  representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender represents and warrants to  the Administrative Agent that it has made and will make, independently and without reliance upon  the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it  has deemed appropriate, its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations,  property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made  its own decision to enter into this Agreement.         Section 1406 Indemnification of the Administrative Agent.                (a)   In accordance with Section 1318, the Administrative Agent will be   indemnified by the Borrower for actions taken in such capacity pursuant to the terms of this   Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.                (b)   Each Lender other than a Conduit Lender agrees to reimburse and   indemnify, severally, the Administrative Agent ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares, to the   extent the Borrower fails to indefeasibly pay or reimburse any amounts for which the   Administrative Agent, in its capacity as administrative agent, is entitled to reimbursement or   indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents.          Section 1407 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.         The Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits  from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, the Seller or any Affiliate  thereof as though it was not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the funding of                                        138   

 

   Loans pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates shall have  the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as  though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender,” shall include the  Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.         Section 1408 Successor Administrative Agent.         If the Administrative Agent shall resign, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint from  among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent.  At the request of the Majority Lenders, the  Administrative Agent shall resign.  No resignation of the Administrative Agent shall be effective  until its successor shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment. After the  retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of  this Agreement shall inure to its benefit and be binding upon it as to any actions taken or omitted  to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to  them in the Loan and Security Agreement.  All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the  Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.         Section 1.  Establishment of Securities Accounts.  The Securities Intermediary  hereby confirms and agrees that:               (a)   The Securities Intermediary has established the following accounts, each in        the name “TIF Funding LLC” and maintained in the State of Delaware (such accounts and        any successor accounts, the “Securities Accounts”):                     Name of Account                    Account Number                     Distribution Account               [●]                     Revenue Reserve Account            [●]                     Restricted Cash Account            [●]               (b)   All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Loan        and Security Agreement shall be promptly credited to the Securities Accounts; and              (c)   The Securities Accounts are accounts to which financial assets are or may       be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement,       treat the Debtor as the owner and as being entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any       financial asset credited to the accounts.         Section 2.  “Financial Assets” Election.  Each of the Debtor and the Securities  Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial                                        B-1 

 

     asset, security, instrument or uninvested funds) credited to the Securities Accounts shall be treated   as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102 (a)(9) of the UCC.          Section 3.  Entitlement Orders.  If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall   receive an “entitlement order” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) from the   Secured Party directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities   Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further  consent by the Debtor or any other person.          Section 4.  Subordination of Lien, Waiver of Set-Off.  In the event that the Securities   Intermediary has, or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, a   security interest in the Securities Accounts or any security entitlement credited thereto, the   Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security   interest created by the Loan and Security Agreement.  The financial assets and other items   deposited to the Securities Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any  other right in favor of any person other than as created pursuant to the Loan and Security  Agreement.          Section 5.  Choice of Law.  This Agreement and the Securities Accounts (as well as   the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.    Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, the State of New   York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (as defined in Section 8-110   of the UCC).  The law applicable to all issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Securities   Convention is the law in force in the State of New York.          Section 6.  Conflict with Other Agreements.                (a)   In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof)         and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement         shall prevail.                (b)   No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right         hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing, signed by all of the         parties hereto and consented to in writing by the Majority Lenders.                (c)   The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:                      (i)   There are no other agreements entered into between the Securities               Intermediary (in its capacity as such) and the Debtor or any other person with               respect to the Securities Accounts;                      (ii)  It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement               will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Securities               Accounts and/or any financial asset credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed               to comply with entitlement orders of such other person; and                      (iii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement               will not enter into, any agreement with the Debtor or the Secured Party purporting                                         B-2 

 

               to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with              entitlement orders as set forth in Section 3 hereof.         Section 7.  Adverse Claims.  Except for the claims and interest of the Secured Party  and of the Debtor in the Securities Accounts, the Securities Intermediary does not know of any  claim to, or interest in, the Securities Accounts or in any financial asset credited thereto.  If any  person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment,  warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Securities Accounts or in any  financial asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Debtor, the  Secured Party, the Manager and each Hedge Counterparty, if any (as identified to the Securities  Intermediary by the Debtor from time to time) hereof.         Section 8.  Maintenance of the Securities Accounts.  In addition to, and not in lieu  of, the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to honor entitlement orders as agreed in Section 3  hereof, the Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain the Securities Accounts as follows:               (a)   Sole Control.  The parties hereto agree that the Secured Party shall have        sole “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) of the Securities Accounts       as of the date hereof, without any additional consent or action by any party whatsoever.               (b)   Eligible Investments.  The Securities Intermediary shall make all Eligible        Investments with respect to each Securities Account in accordance with Section 303(a) of        the Loan and Security Agreement; provided that this sentence shall not limit the rights of        the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement.               (c)   Statements and Confirmations.
