ITEM 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 3, 2006, Sea Containers SPC Ltd. (the “SPC”), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Sea Containers Ltd. (the “Company”), completed a $160,661,000 term debt securitization (the “2006 Securitization”), involving (i) the refinancing of $106,916,000 principal amount of its Series 2001 Senior Notes that were issued in the SPC’s 2001 securitization, and (ii) the issuance by the SPC of new Series 2006 Senior Notes (the “2006 Notes”) with an initial principal amount of $53,745,000.  The 2006 Notes were purchased by Wachovia Bank, National Association, and Abelco Finance LLC, and are secured by marine and intermodal containers owned by the SPC, including an additional $53,353,000 net book value of containers purchased from the Company on October 3rd.

As part of the 2006 Securitization, the Company and the SPC entered into (i) the Amendment No. 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Contribution and Sale Agreement providing for the sale of containers by the Company to the SPC, and (ii) the Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement, providing for the Company’s continued appointment as manager of the SPC’s containers.  The SPC entered into the Second Amended and Restated Indenture between the SPC and The Bank of New York, as the Indenture Trustee, providing for the issuance of the 2006 Notes.

The Company used the cash proceeds from the sale of the containers sold to the SPC as part of the 2006 Securitization for working capital purposes.  As with the 2001 securitization, the 2006 Securitization was recorded by the Company as an on-balance sheet financing.

The foregoing description of the mentioned agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to copies of such documents, which are filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 and are incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 8.01  Other Events

The Company also repaid its existing credit facilities with DVB Bank AG and The Bank of Nova Scotia, which had an outstanding amount of $9,067,000 including accrued interest and fees, and $18,341,000 including repayment of $1,500,000 of outstanding loan, cash collateralization of $15,900,000 and fees and expenses, respectively.

EXECUTION COPY

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTRIBUTION AND SALE AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1, dated as of October 3, 2006 (this “Amendment”), to the SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTRIBUTION AND SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 16, 2001 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Transaction Documents, the “Agreement”), is entered into among SEA CONTAINERS LTD. (the “Seller”), a company organized and existing under the laws of Bermuda located at 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton, HM EX, Bermuda, and SEA CONTAINERS SPC LTD. (the “Issuer”), a company organized and existing under the laws of Bermuda, located at 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM EX, Bermuda, and, joined by Wachovia Bank, National Association (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Administrative Agent”), solely for the limited purposes set forth in Section 7.13 of the Agreement and The Bank of New York, a banking corporation organized under the laws of New York (in such capacity, together with any successors or assigns in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”), solely for the limited purposes set forth in Section 7.13 of the Agreement.

WHEREAS, in connection with execution by the Issuer on the date hereof of the Second Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), by and between The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer, the Seller and the Issuer wish to modify the terms of the Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.             Capitalized terms used without definition in the Agreement and this Amendment are used as they are defined in the Master Index of Defined Terms attached as Appendix A to the Indenture.

2.             (a)  Section 2.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended to delete paragraph (b) and substitute “[Reserved]” therefor.

(b)           The following is hereby added at the end of paragraph (c) of Section 2.02:  “The Seller acknowledges receipt of Fair Market Value (representing reasonably equivalent value in exchange) for its transfer of Transferred Assets to the Issuer on the Transfer Date occurring on the 2006 Closing Date in the form of (i) cash transferred from Issuer to Seller on such Transfer Date, (ii) an issue and allotment by the Issuer of preference shares of par value US$1.00 each in the Issuer, credited as fully paid and (iii) the Released Containers listed on Schedule 2 to the Container Transfer Certificate dated the 2006 Closing Date which are being transferred by the Issuer to the Seller.

(c)           Section 2.02(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “Series Enhancer” therein with a reference to “Lead Arrangers”.




(d)           Section 2.02(d)(ii) of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the word “of” in the first line thereof with the word “by” and by replacing the word “conveying” in the second line thereof with the word “conveyed”.

(e)           Section 2.02(d)(iii) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the conclusion thereof:  “provided that such Container Transfer Certificate for the Transfer Date occurring on the 2006 Closing Date shall be provided on or before such Transfer Date.”

(f)            Section 2.02(d)(iv) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the conclusion of the first sentence thereof: “provided that any such registrations required by Bermuda law for the Containers and Related Assets transferred on the 2006 Closing Date shall be provided on or before such date.”

(g)           Section 2.02(d)(v) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the conclusion of the first sentence thereof: “provided that such supplement to the List of Containers for the Transfer Date occurring on the 2006 Closing Date shall be provided on or before such Transfer Date.”

3.             (a)           Section 2.03(a) is hereby amended by adding after the words “Closing Date” in the first line thereof the words “including the 2006 Closing Date”.

(b)           Section 2.03(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing each reference to “Series Enhancer” therein with a reference to “Lead Arrangers”.

(c)           Section 2.03(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing each reference to “Gibbons Management Services” therein with a reference to “Gateway Systems”.

4.             Section 2.06 is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing such section with “Section 2.06  [Reserved].”

5.             Section 2.07 shall not be applicable with respect to the Transferred Assets transferred on the 2006 Closing Date.

6.             Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Agreement, the Seller is deemed to make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 of the Agreement as of the 2006 Closing Date (with reference to defined terms in the Indenture, as amended and restated on the 2006 Closing Date), and in connection therewith:

(a)           Each reference in paragraphs (a) and (e) to “Series Enhancer” therein is hereby replaced with a reference to “Lead Arrangers”.

(b)           Paragraph (g) of Section 3.01 is hereby amended by adding the following at the conclusion thereof: “A list of material agreements to which the Seller is a party is set forth on Annex I.”

2




(c)           Paragraphs (i), (y), (aa) and (cc) of Section 3.01 are hereby deleted in their entirety and “[Reserved]” substituted therefor;

(d)           Paragraph (j) of Section 3.01 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“The Seller’s only “place of business” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC) is 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton HE MX Bermuda and the Seller does not maintain any other offices, nor does the Seller maintain assets in the United States or any other jurisdiction, other than on-hire containers in the possession of lessees and off-hire Containers located on a transitory basis in depots.”

(e)           Paragraph (m) of Section 3.01 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“The Seller has prepared a business plan and container cash flow projection, delivered to the Lead Arrangers on July 20, 2006 and August 22, 2006, respectively, (the “Business Plan”), which includes certain strategies and financial alternatives, including a potential refinancing or permanent restructuring of the Seller’s unsecured financial obligations.

The Seller has prepared unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005, delivered to the Lead Arrangers on July 7, 2006  (the “Unaudited 2005 Financial Information”).  The Unaudited 2005 Financial Information has been prepared in good faith by the Seller by reference to the books and records of the Seller and, subject to the following, the Seller believes that the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information is indicative of the results of operations for the periods included therein:

(i) the Seller had significant asset write-offs in 2005, as noted in the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information; the amount and timing of such write-offs may require adjustment;

(ii) the Seller is in default under agreements in respect of substantially all of the Seller group borrowings, and as a result most if not all of its indebtedness would be treated as current and due under US GAAP; such a change would affect the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information;

(iii) Assets held for sale are recorded in the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information at values determined at the time of preparation of the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information; these values would require updating, which may result in adjustments;

3




(iv) Certain adjustments identified by the Seller and other advisors that may have been considered immaterial adjustments at the time of preparation of the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information may be material in respect of the Seller’s financial position; such adjustments, if made, would amend the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information;

(v) the Seller has not completed its internal processes to support certifications required to be filed with the Seller’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2005; disclosures determined during that process may effect the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information; and

(vi) the Seller management has not delivered a management representation letter in respect of the financial information included in the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information.

The projections were prepared in good faith based on assumptions that are believed by the Seller to be reasonable.  The Seller believes that the information in the Business Plan, and the management presentation of July 18, 2006, copies of which have been given to the Lead Arrangers,  are accurate based on the information available to the Seller at the time such Business Plan and management presentation were prepared.”

(f)            Paragraph (r) of Section 3.01 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following new sentence:  “The Seller is transferring and conveying the Transferred Assets to the Issuer for the purpose of obtaining working capital, and the proceeds of such transfer and conveyance shall be used for working capital of the Seller and its Subsidiaries.”

(g)           Paragraph (t) of Section 3.01 is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “Appleby, Spurling & Kempe” with “Appleby Hunter Bailhache” and by renumbering the existing subclauses (ii) and (iii) thereof as new subclauses (iii) and (iv), respectively, and by adding after subclause (i) thereof the following:

“(ii)  a registration of charge naming GE SeaCo Services Ltd., as debtor, SCL, as secured party, and certain end user leases, as collateral, filed in the appropriate filing office in the United Kingdom, the jurisdiction in which GE SeaCo Services Ltd. maintains its principal place of business and “chief executive office” as referred to in Section 9-307 of the UCC;”

(h)           Paragraph (w) of Section 3.01 is hereby amended by substituting for the words “Lease Agreement” the words “Transferred Assets” in both places such words appear;

4




(i)            Paragraph (x) of Section 3.01 is hereby amended by adding the words “and the Equipment Management Agreement” after both the words “Lease Agreement” and the words “Master Lease”;

(j)            Paragraph (y) of Section 3.01 is hereby amended by adding the words “and the Equipment Management Agreement” after the words “Lease Agreements”;

(k)           Paragraph (bb) of Section 3.01 is hereby amended by adding the words “and the Equipment Management Agreement” after the words “Lease Agreements” in the first line thereof and by adding the words “nor the Equipment Management Agreement” after the words “Lease Agreements” in the third line thereof;

(l)            Paragraph (ee) of the Agreement is hereby amended to delete the words “no greater than the lesser of the then Net Book Value and” and substituting the words “no less than” therefor.

(m)          Paragraph (hh) is hereby added, to read as follows:  “On the 2006 Closing Date, the Seller has no present intention of making any capital contributions in the SPC Parent for the benefit of the Issuer and would only do so in furtherance of the Seller’s ordinary business purposes and to the extent constituting a practical and reasonable course of action by the Seller designed to improve the financial position of the Seller and preserve the value of its indirect equity interest in the Issuer.”

7.             Pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Agreement, the Issuer is deemed to make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 of the Agreement as of the 2006 Closing Date (with reference to defined terms in the Indenture, as amended and restated on the 2006 Closing Date), and, in connection therewith, each reference to “Series Enhancer” therein is hereby replaced with a reference to “Lead Arrangers”.

8.             (a)           Section 4 of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing each reference to “Series Enhancer” therein with a reference to “Lead Arrangers” and references to “Rating Agency” are deleted.

(b)           Section 4.01(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the proviso at the end of the first sentence thereof.

(c)           Section 4.01(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting therein the words “, filed by the Seller in accordance with paragraph (c) above” and the words “referred to in paragraph (c) above”.

(d)           Section 4.01(k) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the proviso to the first sentence.

9.             Section 5.01(e) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the words “Early Amortization Event” therein and substituting therefor the words “Trigger Event”.

5




10.           Section 7.01 is amended to remove references to the “Rating Agencies”.

11.           Section 7.02 is amended such that this Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.  Transfers and conveyances made pursuant to the Agreement on the 2006 Closing Date shall be made under the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of law which may apply the laws of another jurisdiction.  The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not be applicable to the Agreement or conveyances and transfers made pursuant thereto.

(ii)           registration of  charges, pledge agreements, UCC financing statements or documents of similar import, naming the Issuer, as debtor, the Indenture Trustee, as secured party and the Transferred Assets, as collateral.  Such registration of charges and UCC financing statements, respectively, were filed in the appropriate filing offices in (A) the Islands of Bermuda, which is the jurisdiction in which the Issuer maintains its only “place of business” as referred to in Section 9-307 of the UCC, and (B) the District of Columbia;

(b)           The Seller and the Issuer intend that their operations and business would not be substantively consolidated in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller and that the separate existence of the Seller and the Issuer would not be disregarded in the event of the insolvency or the bankruptcy of the Seller.  In the event that (i) any such Transferred Assets are held to be property of the Seller’s bankruptcy estate, or (ii) this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Transferred Assets, then (x) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the laws of Bermuda and, to the extent applicable, within the meaning of Article 8 and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York and (y) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 and Section 2.02 hereof shall be a grant by the Seller to the Issuer of a valid security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets, which security interest has been assigned to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof and which security interest will be deemed to have been granted directly to the Indenture Trustee from the Seller in the event of the consolidation of the Seller and the Issuer in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(b)           Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others.  The Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such limitation does not affect the obligation of the Seller to accept reconveyance of certain Containers and the Related Assets and pay the consideration therefore pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof.  The Seller in its capacity as such shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations as the transferor of the Transferred Assets under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

(e)           Reserved.

(f)            Books and Records.  The Seller will, at its own cost and expense, mark its books and records (which may include computerized records)  to the effect that each Transferred Container and Related Assets have been transferred to the Issuer and subsequently pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

(g)           Obligations with Respect to Containers.  The Seller will do nothing to impair the rights of the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Series Enhancer or the Indenture Trustee in the Transferred Containers and the Related Assets other than as permitted by the Management Agreement.

(i)            Conveyance of Transferred Assets; Security Interests.  Except for the transfers and conveyances hereunder and the security interest created pursuant to the Indenture, the Seller will not pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien other than Permitted Encumbrances on, any Transferred Asset, or any interest therein and the Seller shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Issuer and its successors and assigns (including the Indenture Trustee) in, to, and under the Transferred Assets, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

(j)            Notification of Breach.  The Seller will advise the Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Series Enhancer, and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in reasonable detail, upon discovery of the occurrence of any breach by the Seller of any of its representations, warranties and covenants contained herein or in any other Related Documents.

(m)          Notice of Liens.  The Seller shall notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the  Series Enhancer promptly after becoming aware of any Lien other than Permitted Encumbrances on the Transferred Assets.

8.1.1        The Manager is a company duly organized, validly existing and in compliance under the laws of Bermuda;

8.1.2        The Manager has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Master Lease, the Equipment Management Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and all requisite corporate authorizations have been given for it to enter into this Agreement, the Master Lease, the Equipment Management Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform all the matters envisaged hereby, each of this Agreement, the Master Lease, the Equipment Management Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the valid, legally binding and enforceable obligation of the Manager, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles;

9




 

adversely affect the performance by the Manager of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, the Master Lease, the Equipment Management Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party;

8.1.5        The Manager shall comply with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof with respect to the leasing and management of the Managed Containers;

8.1.6        The Manager will comply, in all material respects, with all acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and directions of any governmental authority that are applicable to the Lease Agreements, the Equipment Management Agreement and the Managed Containers or any part thereof; provided, however, that the Manager may contest any act, regulation, order, decree or direction in any reasonable manner which shall not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Noteholders or the Lead Arrangers therein; and provided, further, that such contests shall be in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been established, but only so long as such proceedings shall not, individually or in the aggregate, subject the Lead Arrangers, any Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee to any civil or criminal liability or involve any risk of loss of any Collateral.

8.1.7        The Manager shall execute and file such registration of charges, UCC financing statements or documents of similar import (and take such actions as may be necessary to maintain in full force and effect such charges, financing statements or documents of similar import) in such manner and in such places as shall be (i) reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent or either Lead Arranger or (ii) required by applicable law, in order to fully preserve, maintain and protect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, in and to the Collateral.

8.1.8        The Manager will fulfill all of its obligations as lessor under any Lease Agreement and the Equipment Management Agreement to which a Managed Container is subject.

8.1.9        Immediately upon becoming aware of the existence of any condition or event which constitutes a Manager Default, Trigger Event or an Event of Default, or any event which, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, would constitute a Manager Default, Trigger Event or an Event of Default and which, in each case, has not been waived in writing by the Control Party, the Manager shall deliver to the Owner, each Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee and the Lead Arrangers a written notice describing the nature of such event and period of existence and, in the case of a Manager Default, the action the Manager is taking or proposed to take with respect thereto.

8.1.10      The Manager has prepared a business plan and container cash flow projection, delivered to the Lead Arrangers on July 20, 2006 and August 22, 2006, respectively, (the “Business Plan”), which includes certain strategies and financial alternatives, including a potential refinancing or permanent restructuring of the Manager’s unsecured financial obligations.  The Manager has prepared unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005, delivered to the Lead Arrangers on July 7, 2006 (the “Unaudited 2005 Financial Information”).  The Unaudited 2005 Financial Information has been prepared in good faith by the Manager by reference to the books and records of the Manager and, subject to the following, the Manager believes that the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information is indicative of the results of operations for the periods included therein:

(i)            the Manager had significant asset write-offs in 2005, as noted in the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information; the amount and timing of such write-offs may require adjustment;

10




 

(ii)           the Manager is in default under agreements in respect of substantially all of the Manager group borrowings, and as a result most if not all of its indebtedness would be treated as current and due under US GAAP; such a change would affect the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information;

(iii)          Assets held for sale are recorded in the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information at values determined at the time of preparation of the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information; these values would require updating, which may result in adjustments;

(iv)          Certain adjustments identified by the Manager and other advisors that may have been considered immaterial adjustments at the time of preparation of the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information may be material in respect of the Manager’s financial position; such adjustments, if made, would amend the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information;

(v)           the Manager has not completed its internal processes to support certifications required to be filed with the Manager’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2005; disclosures determined during that process may effect the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information; and

(vi)          the Manager management has not delivered a management representation letter in respect of the financial information included in the Unaudited 2005 Financial Information.

The projections were prepared in good faith based on assumptions that are believed by the Manager to be reasonable.  The Manager believes that the information in the Business Plan, and the management presentation of July 18, 2006, copies of which have been given to the Lead Arrangers, are accurate based on the information available to the Manager at the time such Business Plan and management presentation were prepared.

8.1.11      The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture to be consummated on the 2006 Closing Date will not violate any Applicable Law or any contractual obligation of the Manager (including without limitation, the Manager’s public indentures in respect of the Manager’s 10¾% Senior Notes Due 2006, 7 7/8% Senior Notes Due 2008, 12½% Senior Notes Due 2009 and 10½%  Senior Notes Due 2012).

8.1.12      The Manager shall not amend, supplement or otherwise modify the Shareholder Agreement of SPC Parent without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers.

8.2           Owner Representations.   The Owner represents and warrants to the Manager:

8.2.1        The Owner is a company duly organized, validly existing and in compliance under the laws of Bermuda;

Section 14.     Indemnification.

14.1         By the Owner.  The Owner shall defend, indemnify and hold the Manager harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) (each, a “Claim”) incurred by or asserted against the Manager to the extent resulting or arising from the Owner’s failure to comply with or perform its obligations under this Agreement, except for Claims which arise out of the Manager’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, or failure to comply with or perform its obligations under this Agreement.  Manager subordinates its claims under this Section 14.1 to all claims which have priority in payment under Section 302 of the Indenture.

14.2         By the Manager.

14.2.1      The Manager, in its capacity as the Manager, agrees to, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner, the Indenture Trustee, the Lead Arrangers, the Noteholders and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the foregoing, an “Indemnified Party”) against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses which may be incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Party (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party) as a result of claims, actions, suits or judgments asserted or imposed against an Indemnified Party and arising out of (i) the use, repossession or operation of the Managed Containers by the Manager; (ii) an action or inaction by the Manager that is contrary to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by the Manager in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant thereto; (iv) any breach of or failure by the Manager to perform any covenant or obligation of the Manager set out or contemplated in this Agreement; and (v) in the case of the Indenture Trustee and the Lead Arrangers, the performance of the Manager’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Equipment Management Agreement and the Master Lease; provided however, that the foregoing indemnity shall in no way be deemed to impose on the Manager any obligation to reimburse an Indemnified Party for (A) losses arising solely from the financial inability of the related obligor on a Lease Agreement to make the payments due thereunder, or (B) losses arising solely from the failure of the remarketing proceeds of the Managed Containers to achieve historical or projected levels for reasons other than the Manager’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 14.2 shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party, subject to the limitations hereof.  The obligations of the Manager under this Section 14.2 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Manager and each Indemnified Party, the payment of the Notes and Outstanding Obligations and the termination of this Agreement or the Indenture.

14.2.2      The Manager shall pay any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 14 directly to the Indemnified Party, and such amounts shall not be deposited in the Trust Account.

14.2.3      Indemnification payment owing pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14 shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation reasonably incurred.

Section 15.     No Bankruptcy Petition Against the Owner.

The Manager will not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Outstanding Obligations under the Indenture or obligations of the Issuer under any of the other Transaction Documents, institute against the Owner, or join any other Person in instituting against the Owner, an Insolvency Proceeding.  This Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)                                 Upon satisfaction of and compliance with the requirements and conditions to closing set forth herein, Notes to be executed and delivered may be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes upon an Issuer request set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer signed by one of its Authorized Signatories, without further action on the part of the Issuer.

(c)                                  The Existing Notes and the indebtedness of the Issuer evidenced thereby shall continue to be Outstanding notwithstanding this amendment and restatement of the Existing Indenture.

Section 202.   Form of Notes.  Each Note to be issued, authenticated and delivered in fully registered form shall be substantially in one of the forms attached as Exhibits B-1 and B-2, respectively, hereto. The Notes shall bear interest at such rate, be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest on such date or dates as provided herein.  The Notes issued after the 2006 Closing Date shall be in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, provided that one Note of each series may be issued in a nonstandard denomination.

Section 203.   Execution; Recourse Obligation.  The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Signatory of the Issuer. The Notes issued on original issuance shall be dated as of the date of their authentication by the Indenture Trustee.

In case any Authorized Signatory of the Issuer whose signature shall appear on the Notes shall cease to be an Authorized Signatory of the Issuer before the authentication by the Indenture Trustee and delivery of such Notes, such signature or facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes.

All Notes and the interest thereon shall be full recourse obligations of the Issuer and shall be secured by all of Issuer’s right, title and interest in the Collateral. The Notes shall never constitute obligations of the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Manager or of any shareholder or any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Issuer) or any officers, directors,

5




employees or agents of any thereof, and no recourse may be had under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture or of any Notes, 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 Issuer, 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 the Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely obligations of the Issuer, 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 the Indenture or any Notes 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 the Indenture and the issue of such Notes. No Person, other than the Issuer, shall be liable for any obligation of the Issuer under the Indenture or any Note or any losses incurred by any Noteholder.

Section 204.   Certificate of Authentication.  No Notes shall be secured hereby or entitled to the benefit hereof or shall be or become valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there shall be endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication by the Indenture Trustee, substantially in the form set forth in the form of Note attached as either Exhibit B-1 or B-2 hereto. Such certificate on any Note issued by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence and the only competent evidence that it has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

At the written direction of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes. It shall not be necessary that the same Authorized Signatory of the Indenture Trustee execute the certificate of authentication on each of the Notes.

Section 205.   Registration: Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.  (a) The Indenture Trustee shall keep at its Corporate Trust Office books for the registration and transfer of the Notes (the “Note Register”). The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its registrar (the “Note Registrar”) and transfer agent to keep such books and make such registrations and transfers as are hereinafter set forth in this Section 205 and also authorizes and directs the Indenture Trustee to provide a copy of such registration record to the Administrative Agent upon its request. The names and addresses of the Holders of all Notes and all transfers of, and the names and addresses of the transferee of all Notes will be registered in such Note Register. The Person in whose name any Note is registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of the Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee, the Lead Arrangers and the Issuer shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer to maintain the Note Register, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee, the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of such appointment and of the location, and any change in the location, of the successor note registrar, and the Indenture Trustee and the Lead Arrangers shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

6




(b)                                 Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Note shall be payable on each Payment Date only to the registered Holder thereof on the Record Date immediately preceding such Payment Date. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each Note shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee in immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time for payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

(c)                                  All payments on the Notes shall be paid to the Noteholders reflected in the Note Register (or as directed by any of them) as of the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds for receipt prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Payment Date. Any payments received by the Noteholders after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day shall be considered to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if the Issuer has deposited the required funds with the Indenture Trustee by 1:00 p.m., on such date, then the Issuer shall be deemed to have made such payment at the time so required.

(d)                                 A Note shall be transferable only upon the surrender to the Indenture Trustee of such Note together with (i) an assignment (executed by the existing Holder or its duly authorized attorney) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee (it being agreed that an assignment in the form included in Exhibit D or E hereto shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee) and (ii) the documents required pursuant to Sections 205(f) and (g) hereof. Upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, upon surrender of such Note to the Indenture Trustee, to require a new Note or Notes to be issued to it or to a prospective seller, in a minimum denomination of the lesser of (x) $1,000,000 or (y) the then unpaid principal balance of the Note being surrendered, in substitution of the Note being surrendered.  Upon delivery to the Indenture Trustee of executed copies of the documents described in the first sentence of this Section 205(d), the Indenture Trustee shall promptly record such transfer in the Note Register on the Business Day such documents are so delivered (if such documents are delivered to the Indenture Trustee on or before 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on such Business Day) or on the next succeeding Business Day (if such documents are delivered to the Indenture Trustee after 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on such Business Day), and, after such recordation (A) the assignee or purchaser thereunder shall become a “Holder” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned or transferred to it pursuant to such assignment and (B) the assigning or selling Holder thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned or transferred by it pursuant to such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Indenture.

(e)                                  Any service charge made or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee for any such registration, discharge from registration or exchange referred to in this Section 205 shall be paid by the Noteholder.  Such service charge shall not exceed $3,500 and not be payable in connection with a transfer by a Noteholder to an Affiliate.  The Indenture Trustee or the Issuer may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax expense or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

(b)                                 If, after the delivery of such replacement Note, or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of all loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

(c)                                  The Indenture Trustee and Issuer may, for each new Note authenticated and delivered under the provisions of this Section 206, require the advance payment by the Noteholder of the expenses, including counsel fees, service charges and any tax or governmental charge which may be incurred by the Indenture Trustee or Issuer. Any Note issued under the provisions of this Section 206 in lieu of any Note alleged to be destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen, shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of the Indenture with all other Notes. The provisions of this Section 206 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 207.   Delivery, Retention and Cancellation of Notes.  Each Noteholder is required, and by acceptance of its Note is deemed to have agreed, to return to the Indenture Trustee any Note on which the final payment due thereon has been made, such delivery to be made within thirty (30) days after the date on which such final payment is received by such Noteholder. Any such Note as to which the Indenture Trustee has made or holds the final payment thereon shall be deemed cancelled and shall no longer be Outstanding for any purpose

of the Indenture, whether or not such Note is ever returned to the Indenture Trustee. Matured Notes delivered upon final payment to the Indenture Trustee and any Notes transferred or exchanged for other Notes shall be cancelled and disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its policy of disposal and the Indenture Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Issuer such cancelled Notes upon request; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to destroy cancelled Notes. If the Indenture Trustee, for its own account, shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes. Notes which have been cancelled by the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed paid and discharged for all purposes under the Indenture.

Section 208.   Interest Payments on the Notes.

(a)                                  Interest on the Notes.  Interest on the Notes in an amount equal to the Note Interest Payment shall be payable on each Payment Date and shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Trust Account in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 302 and 806 hereof. All interest payable on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of either (i) in the case of interest calculations based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year, or (ii) in the case of interest calculations based on the Base Rate, the actual number of days elapsed in a 365 (or 366 as applicable) day year.

(b)                                 Default Interest. If the Issuer shall default in the payment of principal of, or accrued interest on, any Note on the Final Payment Date or date of earlier acceleration thereof in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or default in the payment of any other amount becoming due under the Indenture when such amount becomes due, the Issuer shall pay Default Interest on such unpaid amounts, to the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 302 and Section 806 hereof, to, but not including, the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment), at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate; provided, however, such Default Interest shall not be payable if (i) such Event of Default arises under Section 801(4) as to the Issuer and (ii) the Issuer shall have obtained a final and non-appealable order entered by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 case of the Issuer or other court of competent jurisdiction in form and substance satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers which (i) authorizes the Notes to be converted into a debtor-in-possession financing facility in a manner satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers, in their sole and absolute discretion, or (ii) authorizes the Issuer to use proceeds of the Collateral as cash collateral and grants adequate protection to the Noteholders in a manner satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers, in their sole and absolute discretion, in the form of, inter alia, the current payment of principal, interest, fees and other charges and requires compliance with all covenants regarding the Collateral contained in the Transaction Documents.

(c)                                  The Issuer may voluntarily prepay all or a portion of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance subject to the satisfaction of conditions set forth in Section 702(b) and 702(c) hereof; provided, however, that the Issuer may not make such repayment from funds in the Trust Account, except to the extent that funds in the Trust Account would otherwise be payable to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Indenture on such Payment Date. In the event of any Prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Section 209(c), the Issuer shall pay, in addition to the principal balance being prepaid, an amount equal to the sum of (i) any Breakage Costs demanded by the Noteholders in connection with such Prepayment, (ii) accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal balance being prepaid and (iii) the amounts described in Section 702(c) hereof.

(d)                                 The Issuer shall not be entitled to reborrow any funds for which a Prepayment is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 209(c) hereof.

(b)                                 In addition, the Issuer shall pay, subject to the payment priorities set forth in Section 302 or Section 806 of the Indenture, any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other 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, the Indenture or any other Transaction Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

11




(c)                                  If any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted or imposed against any Indemnified Party, the Issuer-shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party, subject to the priorities for distribution set forth in Section 302 or Section 806, 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 210) 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 Issuer 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 Issuer 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. Payment under this indemnification shall be made in accordance with the payment priorities set forth in Section 302 or Section 806 of the Indenture after the Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor. Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to Issuer of any assertion of Taxes or Other Taxes so that Issuer may, at its option, contest such assertion.

(d)                                 Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Issuer of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Issuer 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.

(e)                                  Taxes, Other Taxes and other indemnification payments owing pursuant to the provisions of this Section 210 shall not constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Issuer in the event there are insufficient funds available to make such payments in accordance with the payment priority set forth in Section 302 or Section 806 of the Indenture.

Section 211.   Increased Costs.  If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by an Indemnified Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the Closing Date in 2001, for the Existing Notes, or the 2006 Closing Date for the Series 2006 Notes, shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Indemnified Party, or (B) impose any other condition affecting the commitments or rights of an Indemnified Party under any Transaction Document, the result of which is to increase the cost to such Indemnified Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Indemnified Party under any Transaction Document, then within ten days after demand by such Indemnified Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Issuer shall pay directly to such affected Indemnified Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered. In determining any amount provided for in this Section 211, the Indemnified Party may use any reasonable

12




averaging and attribution methods. Any Indemnified Party making a claim under this section shall submit to the Issuer and the Manager a written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Prior to making any claim pursuant to the provisions of this Section 211, the affected Indemnified Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate or eliminate the amount of such Increased Cost if such mitigation effects are not, in the judgment of the affected Indemnified Party, illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to such Indemnified Party.

Payment owing pursuant to the provisions of this Section 211 shall be made in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in Section 302 or Section 806 of the Indenture. Increased Costs shall not constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Issuer in the event that there are insufficient funds available to meet such payments in accordance with Section 302 or Section 806 of the Indenture.

Section 212.   Capital Requirements.  If any Indemnified Party shall determine that any change after the 2001 Closing Date for the Existing Notes, or the 2006 Closing Date for the Series 2006 Notes, in (i) any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or (ii) the adoption after the date hereof of any other law or requirement of law regarding capital adequacy, including the proposed “The New Basel Capital Accord”, or any change after the 2001 Closing Date in any of the foregoing or in the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority charged with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Indemnified Party (or any business office of the Indemnified Party) or the Indemnified Party’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy of any Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Indemnified Party’s capital or on the capital of the Indemnified Party’s holding company, to a level below that which the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Party’s holding company could have achieved, in each case but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Indemnified Party’s policies and the policies of the Indemnified Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by the Indemnified Party to be material, then, within ten days after written demand for the payment thereof, pay to the affected Indemnified Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. Payment under this indemnification shall be made in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in Section 302 or Section 806 of the Indenture after the Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor. Indemnification amounts shall not constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Issuer in the event there are insufficient funds available to make such payments on a Payment Date under Section 302 or Section 806 of the Indenture. Without affecting its rights under this Section 212 or any other provision of the Indenture or the Indenture, the Indemnified Party agrees that if there is an increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by the Indemnified Party with respect to which the Issuer would be obligated to compensate the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 212, the Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative business office which would not result in any such increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to select an alternative business office if the Indemnified Party determines

13




that (i) as a result of such selection the Indemnified Party would be in violation of any Applicable Law, or would incur additional costs or expenses, or (ii) such selection would be unavailable for regulatory reasons or (iii) such selection would otherwise be illegal or disadvantageous to such Indemnified Party.

(b)                                 Each of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree that (i) each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account will be a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC, (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture, be a Securities Intermediary and be entitled to exercise in accordance with the provisions of the UCC the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to such accounts, (iii) all Eligible Investments will be promptly credited to such accounts and shall be treated as a Financial Asset, and (iv) all securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to such accounts shall be registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee, indorsed to the Indenture Trustee and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account be registered in the name of the Issuer, payable to the order of the Issuer or specially indorsed to the Issuer except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the financial intermediary at which such accounts are maintained or in blank.

(c)                                  The Indenture Trustee, acting in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, shall be entitled to provide an Entitlement Order (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) to the financial intermediary at which such accounts are maintained, provided, however that the Indenture Trustee agrees not to invoke its right to provide an Entitlement Order unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of the Entitlement Order in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall, in its capacity as Securities Intermediary, comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Issuer or any other Person.

(d)                                 Each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account shall be initially established with the Indenture Trustee and, so long as any Outstanding Obligation remains unpaid, shall be maintained with the Indenture Trustee so long as (A) the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the financial institution fulfilling the role of the Indenture Trustee are rated not less than the Required Deposit Rating or (B) each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account are maintained in the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee. If any of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account or the Asset Base Account is not maintained in the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee and if the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee fall below the Required Deposit Rating, then the Issuer shall within 10 days, with the Indenture Trustee’s assistance as necessary, cause each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account to be transferred to either (A) an Eligible Institution which then maintains the Required Deposit Rating and is otherwise acceptable to the Lead Arrangers, or (B) with the prior written consent of the Lead Arranger, the corporate trust department of the successor Indenture Trustee. If any of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account or the Asset Base Account is maintained with a Person other than the Indenture Trustee or, if a Person other than the Indenture Trustee shall be the Securities Intermediary, the Issuer shall obtain the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers and the express agreement of (i) the Indenture Trustee as to the designation of such other Person as Securities Intermediary and (ii) such other Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in the Indenture (including, but not limited to, an agreement by such other Person to such provisions as may be necessary to give the Indenture Trustee “control” pursuant to Section 8-106(d) of the UCC).

(e)                                  Each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account shall be maintained in the State of New York, and 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, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account (as well as the Securities Entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

(f)                                    The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of the Indenture will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account, the Asset Base Account or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with Entitlement Orders of such other person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Issuer, the Seller, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee purporting, to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 303(c) hereof.

18




(g)           Except for the claims and interest of the Indenture Trustee and of the Issuer in each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account, to the best of its knowledge without independent investigation, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, any of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account, the Asset Base Account or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If any other Person asserts any Lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account, the Asset Base Account or in any Financial Asset credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Manager, the Lead Arrangers and the Issuer thereof.

(h)           The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in and each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account, the Asset Base Account and in all Proceeds thereof. Each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty and the Lead Arrangers. The Indenture Trustee shall make withdrawals and payments from each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account to apply such amounts in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

(i)            The Manager shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in any of the Trust Account and the Restricted Cash Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account in favor of the Indenture Trustee shall continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person.

(j)            In the event that a Corporate Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge that the Indenture Trustee (including in its capacity as Securities Intermediary and as depositary bank) has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any of the Trust Account and the Restricted Cash Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Indenture Trustee (including in its capacity as Securities Intermediary and as depositary bank) hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest created by the Indenture. The Financial Assets and other items deposited to the accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person except as created pursuant to the Indenture.

Section 304.   Reports to Noteholders.  The Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish to each Noteholder, each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty and each Lead Arranger a copy of all reports, financial statements and notices received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Contribution and Sale Agreement or the Management Agreement.

Section 305.   Records.  The Indenture Trustee shall cause to be kept and maintained adequate records pertaining to the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account, the Asset Base Account and all receipts and disbursements therefrom. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver at least monthly an accounting thereof in the form of a trust statement to the Issuer, the Manager and upon its request, each Lead Arranger and each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty.

19




Section 306.   No Claim.  Indemnities payable by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee or any other Person shall not constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Issuer in the event that there are insufficient funds available to make such payments in accordance with the payment priority set forth in Section 302 or Section 806 of the Indenture.

Section 307.   Tax Treatment of Notes.  The Issuer has entered into the Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, by entering into the Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note, agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

Section 308.   [Reserved]

Section 309.   Restricted Cash Account.  (a) On the 2001 Closing Date, the Issuer established and shall continue to maintain so long as such account is required under the Indenture an Eligible Account in the name of the Indenture Trustee with the Indenture Trustee which shall be designated as the Restricted Cash Account, which account shall be pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The Restricted Cash Account shall only be relocated to another financial institution in accordance with the express provisions of Section 303(d) hereof. On the 2006 Closing Date, $4,714,139.28 shall be on deposit in the Restricted Cash Account, $400,000 of which shall be reserved for application, at the direction of the Lead Arrangers, for fees and expenses of the Lead Arrangers (the “Reserve Amount”).  Upon the earlier to occur of (a) the consummation of a plan of reorganization for the Seller under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) the payment in full in cash of the Outstanding Obligations, the Indenture Trustee shall, if so requested by the Issuer, release any unapplied portion of the Reserve Amount to the Issuer free and clear of the Lien of the Indenture.

(b)           Amounts on deposit in the Restricted Cash Account (other than the Reserve Amount) shall be applied at the instruction of the Lead Arrangers in their sole and absolute discretion to any amounts described in Section 302(c)(1) through (11), provided, however, that in any event amounts on deposit in the Restricted Cash Account shall be applied, in the order of priority set forth in Section 302(c), to any of the amounts described in Section 302(c), in the case of any such amount which is then due and payable and if unpaid would result, with notice or lapse of time or both, in an Event of Default.  The Reserve Amount shall be applied, at the instruction of the Lead Arrangers in their sole and absolute discretion, to the fees and expenses of the Lead Arrangers.

If, before such release of the Asset Base Account, the provisions of Section 806 become applicable, any then remaining balance in the Asset Base Account shall be distributed in accordance with Section 806 as the last application of funds thereunder (determined in the reasonable judgment of the Control Party) or such earlier application at the request of the Issuer.

ARTICLE IV

COLLATERAL

Section 401.   Collateral.  (a) The Notes and the obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be an obligation of the Issuer as provided in Section 203 hereof. The Noteholders, the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty shall also have the benefit of, and the Outstanding Obligations shall be secured by and be payable from, the Issuer’s right, title and interest in the Collateral. The income, payments and proceeds of such Collateral shall be allocated to each such secured party strictly in accordance with the applicable payment priorities set forth in Section 302 or Section 806 hereof.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything contained in the Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer expressly agrees that it shall remain liable under each of its Contracts and Leases to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder and that it shall perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions of each such Contract and Lease.

(c)           The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges the appointment by the Issuer of the Manager to service and administer the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement. So long as the Management Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Indenture Trustee 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 writing in accordance with the express provisions of the Management Agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Manager reasonable compensation and cost reimbursement for any such action. Until such time as the Management Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall continue to collect all Accounts and payments on the Leases and deposit such amounts into the Trust Account in accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement. Any Proceeds received directly by the Issuer in payment of any Account or Leases or in payment for or in respect any of the Managed Containers or on account of any of its Contracts shall be promptly deposited by the Issuer in precisely the form received

21




(with all necessary endorsements) in the Trust Account, and until so deposited shall be deemed to be held in trust by the Issuer as the Indenture Trustee’s property and shall continue to be collateral security for all of the obligations secured by the Indenture and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. If an Event of Default of the type described in Section 801(2) hereof has occurred, any Sale of the Collateral pursuant to Section 816 hereof shall have occurred or a Manager Default has occurred, at the request of the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of or at the direction of the Control Party, to the extent practicable, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee (or such other Person as the Indenture Trustee may direct) originals (or, to the extent originals cannot be delivered, copies) of all other documents evidencing, and relating to, the sale, lease and delivery of such Containers and the Issuer 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 such Accounts, including, without limitation all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts shall be deposited in the Trust Account in accordance with and as required under the Instruction Letter and thereafter in accordance with this Section 401(c).

(d)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder may reject or refuse to accept any Collateral for credit toward payment of the Notes that is a Sanctioned Container or an account, instrument, chattel paper, lease, or other obligation or property of any kind due from, owed by, or belonging to, a Sanctioned Person.

Section 402.   Pro Rata Interest.  Each of the Notes shall be equally and ratably secured and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication or delivery of the Notes so that all Notes at any time Outstanding (including Notes owned by the Seller and its Affiliates, other than the Issuer) shall have the same right, Lien and preference under the Indenture and shall all be equally and ratably secured hereby with like effect as if they had all been executed, authenticated and delivered simultaneously on the date hereof.

Section 403.   Indenture Trustee’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.  (a) The Issuer hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Indenture Trustee, 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 Issuer and in the name of the Issuer or in its own name, from time to time for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Indenture, 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 the Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee has no obligation or duty to determine whether to perfect, file, record or maintain any perfected, filed or recorded document or instrument in connection with the grant or security interest in the Collateral hereunder.

(b)           Except upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee shall not exercise the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 403. The Issuer hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to

22




this Section 403 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all Notes and other Outstanding Obligations are paid and performed in full.

(c)           The powers conferred on the Indenture Trustee hereunder are solely to protect Indenture Trustee’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers except as set forth herein. The Indenture Trustee 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 Issuer for any act or failure to act, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct.

(d)           The Issuer also authorizes the Indenture Trustee to (i) 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 with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of the Issuer in and under the Contracts or Leases hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (ii) so long as an Event of Default is continuing, 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 Issuer fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of or at the written direction of the Control Party, shall perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, of Indenture Trustee incurred in connection with such performance or compliance together with interest thereon at the rate specified herein, shall be payable by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee on demand and shall constitute Outstanding Obligations secured hereby and shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of Section 302 or Section 806 hereof.

Section 404.   Release of Security Interest.  The Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Manager, shall release from the security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, any Container and the Related Assets sold or transferred pursuant to Section 606(a) hereof. In effectuating such release, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to rely on (A) except as provided in the following clause (B), a written direction of the Manager (with a copy to the Lead Arrangers) identifying each Container or other items to be released from the Lien of the Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Section 404 accompanied by an Asset Base Certificate and (B) if a Trigger Event is then continuing, or if the consent of the Control Party is required under Section 606(a), the items set forth in (A), a certificate from the Manager (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers) stating that such release is in compliance with Sections 404 and 606(a) hereof and a written direction from the Control Party approving such release.  The Control Party may instruct the Indenture Trustee to release from the security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Indenture any Container which the Control Party deems to be a cause for concern relating to regulatory compliance, provided, however, any Sales Proceeds with respect to such Container shall be deposited in the Trust Account within two Business Days after the receipt of funds from any sale or other disposition of such Container.  The Administrative Agent shall provide such direction if the Administrative Agent has received the items referred to in (B) above and the officers of the Administrative Agent who regularly deal with the Manager in connection with the transactions

23




contemplated hereby do not have actual knowledge that such certificates are inaccurate in any significant manner.

The Indenture Trustee will, promptly upon receipt of such certificate from the Manager and at the Issuer’s expense, execute and deliver to the Issuer, the Seller, the Manager, each Lead Arranger, each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty and the Administrative Agent, a non-recourse certificate of release substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto and such additional documents and instruments as that Person may reasonably request to evidence the termination and release from the Lien of the Indenture of such Container and the other related items of Collateral.

Section 405.   Administration of Collateral.  (a)  The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as practicable notify the Noteholders, the Lead Arrangers, each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty and the Administrative Agent of any Manager Default of which a Corporate Trust Officer has actual knowledge. If a Manager Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Control Party, shall deliver to the Manager (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, each Lead Arranger and each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty) a Manager Termination Notice terminating the Manager of its responsibilities in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement.  Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall seek to appoint a replacement Manager acceptable to the Control Party. If the Administrative Agent is unwilling or unable to locate and qualify a replacement Manager acceptable to the Control Party within a time frame acceptable to the Control Party after the date of delivery of the Manager Termination Notice, then the Indenture Trustee may (and shall, upon the direction of the Control Party) appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a company acceptable to the Control Party, 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.  Unless otherwise directed by the Control Party, the Manager shall continue to fulfill its duties and responsibilities as Manager until such time as its replacement is appointed and has assumed such responsibilities. 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 Control Party shall direct to aid in the transition of the Manager; provided, however, that no provisions of the Indenture or the Administration 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 under the Administration Agreement, 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

24




or Section 806, as applicable. All reimbursements to the Administrative Agent shall (unless the Control Party has 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 Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee, each Lead Arranger and each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty shall, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, 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 Indenture Trustee or Administrative Agent may, with the written consent of the Control Party, make such arrangements for the compensation of such replacement out of Collections as the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent 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 (i) the Control Party shall approve such higher amounts or (ii) the outgoing Manager shall agree to pay, out of its own funds, the replacement Manager any such excess compensation and reimbursement; provided, further, that in no event shall any of the Indenture Trustee, the Lead Arrangers 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 Indenture Trustee 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.

(b)           Without prejudice to the provisions of the Instruction Letter and subject to the rights of GE SeaCo under the Master Lease and the Equipment Management Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Manager Default or Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may and shall, if directed in writing by the Control Party, after first notifying the Issuer of its intention to do so, notify Account Debtors of the Issuer (and the Issuer hereby agrees to provide the Indenture Trustee all commercially reasonable information to identify and locate such Account Debtors), parties to the Contracts of the Issuer, obligors in respect of Instruments of the Issuer and obligors in respect of Chattel Paper of the Issuer that the Accounts and the right, title and interest of the Issuer in and under such Contracts, Instruments, and Chattel Paper (to the extent related to the Managed Containers) have been assigned to Indenture Trustee and that payments shall be made directly to Indenture Trustee or such Person as specified by the Indenture Trustee; provided that a replacement Manager appointed pursuant to this Section 405 shall unless otherwise directed by the Control Party exercise all of the foregoing rights, and that pending appointment of such replacement Manager, the then current Manager shall unless otherwise directed by the Control Party be permitted to exercise such rights until the replacement Manager assumes the responsibility of the Manager. Upon the request of the Control Party, the Issuer or Manager shall so notify such Account Debtors, parties to such Contracts, obligors in respect of such Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper. Upon the occurrence of a Manager Default or any other Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee shall at the written direction of the Control Party communicate with such Account Debtors, parties to such Contracts, obligors in respect of such Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper to verify with such parties, the existence, amount and terms of any such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments or Chattel Paper.

Section 406.   Quiet Enjoyment.  The security interest hereby granted to Indenture Trustee by the Issuer is subject to the right of any lessee to the quiet enjoyment of the related

25




Container so long as such lessee is not in default under the Lease therefor and the Manager under the Management Agreement (or the Indenture Trustee, as provided in the Instruction Letter) continues to receive all amounts payable under the related Lease.

(b)           Notwithstanding the grant of a security interest to secure the Outstanding Obligations owing to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit the Noteholders, each Lead Arranger and each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, all rights to direct actions or to exercise rights or remedies under this Indenture or the UCC (including these set forth in Section of 804 hereof) shall be vested solely in the Control Party and, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, each Noteholder and Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty acknowledges such statement; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute a modification of Section 808, Section 813(b) or Section 816(d) hereof.

The Issuer 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 the Indenture; and the Issuer (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 Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 816.   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. The Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Control Party may from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale.

50




(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 the Indenture: (i) the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Control Party, 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 the Indenture; and (ii) the receipt of the Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture Trustee or of such officer therefor, 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 Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof. In addition, the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest (subject to lessee’s 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 Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.

(d)           The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that its right to sell, transfer or otherwise convey any Interest Rate Hedge Agreement or exercise any foreclosure rights with respect thereto shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement.

Section 817.   Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under the Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to the Indenture. Neither the Lien of the Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Lead Arrangers or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

ARTICLE IX

CONCERNING THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

Section 901.   Duties of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or after the curing of any Event of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, but only at the written direction of the Control Party, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, 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

51




affairs; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not exercise any remedies absent the written request or written direction of the Control Party.

The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provisions of the Indenture, shall determine whether they are substantially in the form required by the Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished pursuant to the Indenture.

No provision of the Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i)            The duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Indenture Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee 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 furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Indenture;
(ii)           The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Corporate Trust Officer or Corporate Trust Officers of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii)          The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally 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 Control Party relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under the Indenture.

No provision of the Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee 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 (the unsecured written indemnity of (A) a Rated Institutional Noteholder being deemed satisfactory for such purpose unless the Indenture Trustee provides prior written notice to the contrary, or (B) the Lead Arrangers being deemed satisfactory for such purpose).

52




Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 901.

Section 902.   Certain Matters Affecting the Indenture Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 901 hereof:

(i)            The Indenture Trustee 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 Manager, 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 Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and any advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance in reliance thereof;
(iii)          The Indenture Trustee 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 Control Party, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, unless the Indenture Trustee shall have security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby (the unsecured written indemnity of a Rated Institutional Noteholder being deemed satisfactory for such purpose, unless the Indenture Trustee provides prior written notice to the contrary);
(iv)          The Indenture Trustee 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 the Indenture;
(v)           The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make 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 Control Party unless the Indenture Trustee shall have security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against any cost, expense or liability likely to be incurred in making such investigation (the unsecured written indemnity of a Rated Institutional Noteholder being deemed satisfactory for such purposes unless the Indenture Trustee provides prior written notice to the contrary. The reasonable expense of any such examination shall be paid, on a pro rata basis, by the Noteholders requesting such examination or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by such Noteholders upon demand;

53




(vi)          The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder; and
(vii)         The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless either a Corporate Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge or written notice of such shall have been given to a Corporate Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee.

The provisions of this Section 902 shall be applicable to the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and in all other capacities under the Indenture.

Section 903.   Indenture Trustee Not Liable. (a)  The recitals contained herein (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 911 hereof), and in the Notes (other than the certificate of authentication on the Notes) shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral or of any related document. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Notes or of the proceeds thereof, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Issuer or the Manager in respect of the Collateral.

(b)           The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for or with respect to the existence or validity of any Container, the perfection of any security interest (whether as of the date hereof or at any future time), the maintenance of or the taking of any action to maintain such perfection, the validity of the assignment of any portion of the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee or of any intervening assignment, the compliance by the Seller or the Manager with any covenant or the breach by the Seller or the Manager of any warranty or representation made hereunder, or in any related document or the accuracy of such warranty or representation, any investment of monies in the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account or the Asset Base Account or any loss resulting therefrom (provided that such investments are made in accordance with the provisions of Section 303 hereof), or the acts or omissions of the Seller or the Manager taken in the name of the Indenture Trustee.

(c)           Except as expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligation or liability under any Contract by reason of or arising out of the Indenture or the granting of a security interest in such Contract hereunder or the receipt by the Indenture Trustee of any payment relating to any Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Indenture Trustee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Issuer, 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.   Indenture Trustee May Own Notes. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee; provided that such transaction shall not result in

54




the disqualification of the Indenture Trustee for purposes of Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Section 905.   Indenture Trustee’s Fees, Indemnities and Expenses. The fees (“Indenture Trustee’s Fees”) of the Indenture Trustee shall, if not paid by the Manager, be paid by the Issuer in accordance with Section 302 hereof. The Issuer shall fully indemnify the Indenture Trustee and each of its officers, directors and employees for, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage claim or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part to the extent such finding of negligence or willful misconduct is made in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees 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 or under the other Transaction Documents (“Indenture Trustee Indemnified Amounts”).

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 905 to compensate the Indenture Trustee, to pay or reimburse the Indenture Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances and to indemnify and hold harmless, the Indenture Trustee shall constitute Outstanding Obligations hereunder and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.

When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 801(3) or Section 801(4), the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

Section 906.   Eligibility Requirements for Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee 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. In addition, the Indenture Trustee or its parent corporation shall at all times be acceptable to each Lead Arranger and each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty. 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.

Section 907.   Resignation and Removal of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Manager, each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, the Lead Arrangers and the Noteholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the Control Party by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Indenture Trustee, each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, the Lead Arrangers, and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee. The Control Party shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Issuer in locating a successor Indenture Trustee. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been so

55




appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Control Party may appoint a successor trustee or, if it does not do so within 30 days thereafter, the resigning Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, which successor trustee shall meet the eligibility standards set forth in Section 906.

If at any time the Indenture Trustee 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 Issuer, the Lead Arrangers or the Manager, or if at any time the Indenture Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its properly or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee and appoint a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Control Party by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee so removed and one copy to tie successor Indenture Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 908 hereof.

Section 908.   Successor Indenture Trustee. Any successor Indenture Trustee appointed as provided in Section 907 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall become effective and such successor Indenture Trustee, 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 Indenture Trustee herein. The predecessor Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the successor Indenture Trustee all documents relating to the Collateral, if any, delivered to it, together with any amount remaining in the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account and the Asset Base Account. In addition, the predecessor Indenture Trustee and, upon request of the successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer 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 Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 906 hereof and shall be acceptable to the Control Party.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Indenture Trustee as provided in this Section, the Issuer shall mail notice of the succession of such Indenture Trustee hereunder to all Noteholders at their addresses as shown in the registration books maintained by the Indenture Trustee and to each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Issuer.

56




Section 909.   Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee. Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 906 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 910.   Separate Indenture Trustees, Co-Indenture Trustees and Custodians. If the Indenture Trustee is not capable of acting outside the United States, it shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons or corporations to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Indenture Trustee, or as separate trustees, 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 trustee or co-trustee 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 trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees, co-trustees, or custodians for the benefit of all Noteholders, each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty and the Lead Arrangers and shall have such powers, rights and remedies 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 Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall join in any such appointment, but such joining shall not be necessary for the effectiveness of such appointment.

Every separate trustee, co-trustee 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 Indenture Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee;
(ii)           all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee, co-trustee, 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 Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian;
(iii)          no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder; and
(iv)          the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian so appointed

57




by it or them if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of the Indenture.

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

Any separate trustee, co-trustees, or custodian may, at any time, constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of the Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee, co-trustee, 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 Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee or custodian.

No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 906 hereof and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment thereof shall be required under Section 908 hereof.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the Indenture Trustee’s obligations hereunder.

Section 911.   Representations and Warranties. The Indenture Trustee hereby represents and warrants as of the 2006 Closing Date that:

(c)           Binding Obligations.

(e)           No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations to which the Indenture Trustee is a party pending, or, to the knowledge of the Indenture Trustee, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or Governmental Authority (A) asserting the invalidity of the Indenture or the Notes, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Indenture or the Notes; and

(f)            Approvals. Neither the execution or delivery by the Indenture Trustee of the Indenture nor the consummation of the transactions by the Indenture Trustee 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 law governing the banking or trust powers of the Indenture Trustee.

Section 912.   Indenture Trustee Offices.

Section 913.   Notice of Event of Default. If the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders, each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty and the Lead Arrangers. For all purposes of the Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge by a Corporate Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of any Event of Default unless notified in writing thereof by the Issuer, the Seller, the Manager, any Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, either Lead Arranger or any Noteholder, and such notice references the Notes generally, the Issuer or the Indenture.
