Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 4, 2005, PLM Equipment Growth Fund VI (“Fund VI”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the CIT Group Inc. (“CIT”), Fund VI and several entities affiliated with Fund VI (collectively, the “Sellers”), including PLM Rail Partners (“Rail Partners”), an entity in which Fund VI has a 43% ownership interest. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, CIT will acquire the railcar business of the Sellers, which includes railcars owned and leased by the Sellers as well as management contracts pursuant to which the Sellers manage the rail cars of third parties.

The aggregate purchase price that CIT will pay for the railcar business of the Sellers will be $119.8 million, adjusted to reflect the actual number of railcars and management contracts delivered to CIT at the closing. The portion of the aggregate purchase price to be received by Fund VI and Rail Partners will be based on the appraised value of the railcars delivered by Fund VI and Rail Partners, as determined by an independent third party appraiser. Fund VI expects the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement to occur within thirty (30) days; provided, however, the closing is subject to numerous conditions, and there can be no assurance that the closing will occur in that time frame, if at all.
