priority of payments set forth therein.
(b) Interest on Overdue Amounts. If the Issuer shall default in the
payment of (i) the unpaid principal balance of any Series 2005-1 Notes on the

Series 2005-1 Note when due, or (iii) following the acceleration of the Series
2005-1 Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, any other amount
owing under the Indenture not covered in clauses (i) and (ii) which is not paid
when due, the Issuer shall, from time to time, pay interest on such unpaid
amounts, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to, but not including, the
date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment), at a rate per annum
equal to the Default Rate, for the period during which such principal, interest
or other amount shall be unpaid from the due date of such payment to but not
including the date of actual payment thereof. All Default Fees shall be payable
at the times and subject to the priorities set forth in Section 302 hereof.
(c) Series 2005-1 Adjustment Payments. Series 2005-1 Adjustment

rate of interest to accrue pursuant to this Supplement and such Series 2005-1
Note shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.
Section 204. Principal Payments on the Series 2005-1 Notes; Scheduled
Amortization of Series 2005-1 Notes.
(a) The principal balance of the Series 2005-1 Notes shall be payable

to (i) so long as no Early Amortization Event is continuing, the Minimum
Principal Payment Amount, the Scheduled Principal Payment Amount and the
allocable portion of the Supplemental Principal Payment Amount (if any) for such
Series 2005-1 Note for such Payment Date, to the extent that funds are available

hereof, or (ii) if an Early Amortization Event is then continuing, the Minimum
Principal Payment Amount, the Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts and then
unpaid Series 2005-1 Principal Balance of such Series 2005-1 Note shall be
payable in full to the extent that funds are available for such purposes in
accordance with the provisions of Part (II) of Section 302 hereof. Payment of
the Supplemental Principal Payment Amount on each Payment Date is subordinated
to payment in full on such Payment Date of the Minimum Principal Payment Amount
and the Scheduled Principal Payment Amount for the Series 2005-1 Notes and any
other Notes then Outstanding. The unpaid principal amount of each Series 2005-1
Note, together with all unpaid interest (including all Default Fees), fees

the Issuer to the Series 2005-1 Noteholders, the Series Enhancer and the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and this Supplement,

which an Event of Default shall occur and the Series 2005-1 Notes have been
accelerated in accordance with Section 802 of the Indenture and (y) the Series
2005-1 Legal Final Maturity Date.
(b) The Issuer may, on any Payment Date and upon four (4) Business
Days' prior notice to the Series 2005-1 Noteholders in accordance with the terms
of Section 8.2 of the Series 2005-1 Note Purchase Agreement, voluntarily prepay
all, or any part, of the Series 2005-1 Principal Balance by making a wire
transfer to the Series 2005-1 Noteholders; provided, however, that the Issuer
may not make such repayment from funds in the Trust Account, the Series 2005-1
Series Account, the Restricted Cash Account or the Temporary Loss Account except
to the extent that funds in any such account would otherwise be payable to the
Issuer or available to prepay the Aggregate Series 2005-1 Principal Balance in
accordance with the terms of this Supplement or the Indenture. In the event of
any Prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Section 204(b) or any other
provision of the Indenture, the Issuer shall pay, if such Prepayment is made on
a date other than a Payment Date, any Breakage Costs incurred by the Series
2005-1 Noteholders in connection with such prepayment.
(c) Any Prepayment of less than the entire Aggregate Series 2005-1
Principal Balance made in accordance with the provisions of Section 204(a) or
204(b) hereof on or after the Conversion Date shall be applied as set forth in
Section 702(c) of the Indenture to the same extent as if the Series 2005-1 Notes
were a Series of Term Notes.
Section 205. Amounts and Terms of Series 2005-1 Noteholder
Commitments.
(a) Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Supplement and the Series 2005-1 Note Purchase Agreement, each Series 2005-1
Noteholder shall make its Percentage of the Series 2005-1 Note Initial
Commitment available to the Issuer on the Restatement Effective Date.
-12-
(b) Advances. Prior to the Conversion Date, each Series 2005-1 Note
shall be a revolving note with a maximum principal amount equal to the Series
2005-1 Note Existing Commitment then in effect for the related Series 2005-1
Noteholder. The Administrative Agent and each Series 2005-1 Noteholder shall
maintain a record of all Series 2005-1 Advances and repayments made on the
Series 2005-1 Notes and absent manifest error such records shall be conclusive.
Each request for a Series 2005-1 Advance shall be submitted in writing to the
Administrative Agent by not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date of the requested advance and shall be
irrevocable when given. Such notice shall include a calculation of the aggregate
Series 2005-1 Advance to be funded by the Series 2005-1 Noteholders. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly forward any such Funding Notice, with the
attached Asset Base Certificate, to each Series 2005-1 Noteholder or its
designee. On any Business Day requested by the Issuer, and presuming that the
Issuer shall have satisfied all applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article V hereof, the Series 2005-1 Noteholders shall, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Supplement and the Series 2005-1 Note Purchase Agreement,
deposit into the account designated by the Issuer by wire transfer of same day
funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) an amount equal to its
Percentage of the requested Series 2005-1 Advance; provided, however, that each
Series 2005-1 Advance by each Series 2005-1 Noteholder shall be for: (I) a
minimum amount of the lesser of (x) its then unused Series 2005-1 Note Existing
Commitment and (y) such Series 2005-1 Noteholder's Percentage of one million
Dollars ($1,000,000) or an integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) in excess thereof; and (II) a maximum amount of the Availability of
such Series 2005-1 Noteholder on such Business Day. In the event that any Series
2005-1 Noteholder fails to make a Series 2005-1 Advance in accordance with its
Series 2005-1 Note Existing Commitment, the other Series 2005-1 Noteholder(s)
may but shall not be obligated to fund the Percentage of the defaulted Series
2005-1 Noteholder(s).
Each request for a Series 2005-1 Advance shall constitute a
reaffirmation by the Issuer that (1) no Event of Default or Early Amortization
Event has occurred and is continuing, (2) all of the conditions precedent set
forth in Article V hereof have been satisfied and (3) except for any divergences
previously disclosed in writing to the Indenture Trustee and consented to in
writing by the Administrative Agent, the representations and warranties made by
the Issuer to the Holders of Series 2005-1 Notes contained in the Series 2005-1
Transaction Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects to
the same extent as though made on and as of the date of the request, except to
the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier
date, in which event they shall be true, correct and complete in all material
respects as of such earlier date.
If (i) any Series 2005-1 Advance requested by the Issuer is not, for
any reason whatsoever related to a default or nonperformance by the Issuer, made
or effectuated on the date specified therefor or (ii) any optional prepayment of
the Series 2005-1 Notes is not made when specified in the notice delivered
pursuant to Section 204(b) hereof, then, in either such case, the Issuer shall
indemnify each Series 2005-1 Noteholder against any Breakage Costs relating
thereto.
-13-
(c) Commitment Fee. On each Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay a
commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") to each Series 2005-1 Noteholder in an
amount equal to the sum for each day during the immediately preceding Collection
Period of the product of (x) the applicable Commitment Fee Percentage on such
day, (y) a fraction (expressed as percentage) the numerator of which is one and
the denominator of which is equal to 360 and (z) the Series 2005-1 Unused
Commitment of such Series 2005-1 Noteholder on such day. Such Commitment Fee
shall be payable from amounts then on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Series
Account, or amounts otherwise available for such purpose, in accordance with
Section 302 hereof.
Section 206. Taxes.
(a) Subject to clause (g) below, in addition to payments of principal
and interest on the Series 2005-1 Notes when due, the Issuer shall pay, but only
in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in Section 302
hereof, each Series 2005-1 Noteholder (an "Indemnified Party") any and all
present or future taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, or charges, or any other
similar deduction or withholding, whatsoever imposed by any Governmental
Authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) franchise
taxes, (ii) such taxes as are imposed on or measured by or determined (in whole
or in part) by reference to each Indemnified Party's net income by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Indemnified Party, as the case may be
(regardless of whether such tax is denominated as an "income tax" under
applicable local law), is organized or maintains an office or any political
subdivision thereof, (iii) any other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imports, or
charges, whether payable directly by the Series 2005-1 Noteholder or by
deduction or withholding from any payment made in respect of a Series 2005-1
Note, on account of a connection, whether present or former, between the Series
2005-1 Noteholder and the relevant taxing jurisdiction and (iv) withholding
taxes imposed on any payment in respect of a Series 2005-1 Note other than on
account of a change in law or regulation occurring after the Person in respect
of which such tax is imposed acquired a beneficial interest in a Series 2005-1
Note (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").
(b) In addition subject to clause (g) below, the Issuer shall pay, but
only in accordance with the priorities for distribution set forth in Section 302
hereof, any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other similar
excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment
made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Supplement or any other Series 2005-1 Transaction Document
(hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
(c) Subject to clause (g) below, 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, but only in accordance with
the priorities for distribution set forth in Section 302 hereof, for the full
amount of the Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes asserted
or imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 206) 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
-14-
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
hereof after the Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor. Each
Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the Issuer of any assertion of
Taxes or Other Taxes so that the 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 206 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 hereof.
(f) If an Indemnified Party is not a "United States person" as defined
in section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such
Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Administrative
Agent and the Manager, within 15 days after the Closing Date, or, if such
Indemnified Party becomes an Indemnified Party after the Closing Date, the date
on which such Indemnified Party becomes an Indemnified Party hereunder: (i) two
(or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws)
duly completed copies of (A) IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility of the
Indemnified Party for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party or (B) IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other
certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the
relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws) or (ii) in the
case of an Indemnified Party that is not legally entitled to deliver either form
listed in clause (f)(i), (A) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such
Indemnified Party to the effect that such Indemnified Party is not (x) a "bank"
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a "10 percent
shareholder" of the Issuer within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the
Code, or (z) a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related
person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (such certificate,
an "Exemption Certificate") and (B) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN
or applicable successor form certifying the foreign status of such Indemnified
Party, as appropriate, to permit the Issuer to make payments hereunder for the
account of such Indemnified Party, without deduction or withholding of United
States federal income or similar Taxes. Each other Indemnified Party agrees to
deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Manager,
within 15 days after the Closing Date, or, if such Indemnified Party becomes an
Indemnified Party after the Closing Date, the date on which such Indemnified
Party becomes an Indemnified Party hereunder, one or more accurate and complete
original signed copies (as the Issuer, Administrative Agent or Manager may
reasonably request) of IRS Form W-9 or successor applicable form (if required by
law), as the case may be, providing the employer identification
-15-
number for such Indemnified Party. Additionally, upon the obsolescence of, or
after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate
previously delivered by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 206(f),
such Indemnified Party shall deliver such forms, amended or successor forms,
certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Laws to permit
the Issuer to make payments hereunder for the account of such Indemnified Party,
without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar
Taxes.
(g) The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to
any Indemnified Party pursuant to clause (a), or to indemnify any Indemnified
Party pursuant to clause (c), in respect of United States federal withholding
taxes to the extent imposed as a result of (i) the failure of such Indemnified
Party to deliver to the Issuer any form and/or Exemption Certificate pursuant to
clause (f), (ii) such form not establishing a complete exemption from U.S.
federal withholding tax or the information or certifications made therein by the
Indemnified Party being untrue or inaccurate on the date delivered in any
material respect, or (iii) the Indemnified Party designating a successor office
at which it maintains the Series 2005-1 Notes which has the effect of causing
such Indemnified Party to become obligated for tax payments in excess of those
in effect immediately prior to such designation; provided, however, that the
Issuer shall be obligated to pay additional amounts to any such Indemnified
Party pursuant to clause (a), and to indemnify any such Indemnified Party
pursuant to clause (c), in respect of United States federal withholding taxes if
(i) any such failure to deliver a form and/or Exemption Certificate or the
failure of such form to establish a complete exemption from U.S. federal
withholding tax or inaccuracy or untruth contained therein resulted from a
change in any applicable law or regulation occurring after the date the Person
in respect of which such tax is imposed acquired a beneficial interest in a
Series 2005-1 Note, which change rendered such Indemnified Party no longer
legally entitled to deliver any such form or otherwise ineligible for a complete
exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax, or rendered the information or
certifications made in such form untrue or inaccurate in a material respect or
(ii) the redesignation of the Indemnified Party's office for maintenance of the
Series 2005-1 Notes was made at the request of the Issuer.
(h) Any Indemnified Party that becomes entitled to the payment of
additional amounts pursuant to Section 206(a) shall use reasonable efforts
(consistent with applicable law) to file any document reasonably requested by
the Issuer or to transfer its interest in the Series 2005-1 Note to an Affiliate
in another jurisdiction if the making of such a filing or transfer to an
Affiliate, as the case may be, would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of
any payment of such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not,
in the good faith determination of such Indemnified Party, be disadvantageous to
it.
(i) If an Indemnified Party receives any refund or is entitled to a
Tax credit with respect to Taxes for which the Issuer has paid any additional
amounts pursuant to Section 206(a) or Section 206(b) or made an indemnity
payment pursuant to Section 206(c), then such Indemnified Party shall promptly
pay the Issuer the portion of such refund or credit and any interest received
with respect thereto as it determines, in its reasonable, good faith judgment
will leave it after such payment, in no better or worse financial position than
it would have been
-16-
absent the imposition of such Taxes and the payment by the Issuer of such
indemnity or additional amounts pursuant to this Section 206; provided, however,
that (i) the Issuer agrees to promptly return any amount paid to the Issuer
pursuant to this Section 206(i) upon notice from such Indemnified Party that
such refund or any portion thereof is required to be repaid to the relevant
taxing authority, (ii) nothing in this Section 206(i) shall require an
Indemnified Party to disclose any confidential information to the Issuer
(including, without limitation, its tax returns), and (iii) no Indemnified Party
shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 206(i) at any time
which an Event of Default exists and is continuing.
(j) If the Issuer determines in good faith that a reasonable basis
exists for contesting any Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid
pursuant to Section 206(a) or Section 206(b) or an indemnity payment has been
made pursuant to Section 206(c), the Indemnified Party (to the extent such
Person reasonably determines in good faith that it will not suffer a material
adverse effect as a result thereof) shall cooperate with the Issuer in
challenging such Taxes, at the Issuer's expense, if so requested by the Issuer
in writing.
Section 207. 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) after the Closing Date in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation (including any law or regulation of any
accounting board or authority (whether or not a part of the government) which is
responsible for the establishment or interpretation of national or international
accounting principles, in each case foreign or domestic) or (ii) the compliance
by an Indemnified Party with any guideline or request promulgated or made after
the Closing Date from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether
or not having the force of law), shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement
imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, 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
Series 2005-1 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 Series 2005-1 Transaction Document,
then, within ten (10) 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 but only in accordance
with the payment priority set forth in Section 302 hereof. In determining any
amount provided for in this Section 207, the Indemnified Party may use any
reasonable 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 207, the affected Indemnified Party will use reasonable efforts to
mitigate or eliminate the amount of such Increased Cost or reduced amount if
such mitigation
-17-
effects are not, in the judgment of the affected Indemnified Party, illegal or
otherwise disadvantageous to such Indemnified Party. The provisions of this
Section 207 shall also be applicable to each Liquidity Provider.
Payments owing pursuant to the provisions of this Section 207 shall be
made only in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in
Section 302 hereof. Increased Costs and other amounts owed pursuant to this
Section 207 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 meet such payments in accordance with Section 302 hereof. The
provisions of this Section 208 shall also be applicable to each Liquidity
Provider.
The failure or delay on the part of any Indemnified Party to demand
compensation for any Increased Costs shall not constitute a waiver of such
Series 2005-1 Noteholder's right to demand such compensation; provided, that the
Issuer shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Indemnified Party
under this Section 207 for any Increased Costs and other amounts owed pursuant
to this Section 207 with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120
days prior to such request if such Indemnified Party knew of the circumstances
giving rise to such Increased Costs and other amounts owed pursuant to this
Section 207 and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for
increased compensation by reason of such Increased Costs and other amounts owed
pursuant to this Section 207.
Section 208. Capital Requirements.
If any Indemnified Party shall determine that (i) any change after the
Closing Date in any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or
arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basel 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 (iii) any change after
the 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 (iv)
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
(10) ten days after written demand for the payment thereof, then the Issuer will
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
only in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in Section
302 hereof after the Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor.
Indemnification amounts
-18-
contemplated by this Section 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 hereof. Without affecting its rights under this Section 208 or any
other provision of this Supplement, each Indemnified Party agrees that if there
is a reduction in a rate of return with respect to which the Issuer would be
obligated to compensate the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 208, the
Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative business
office which would not result in any reduction in rate of return contemplated by
this Section; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not be
obligated to select an alternative business office if the Indemnified Party
determines 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.
The failure or delay on the part of any Indemnified Party to demand
compensation for any reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in
return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Series 2005-1
Noteholder's right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Issuer shall
not be under any obligation to compensate any Indemnified Party under this
Section 208 for any reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that
is 120 days prior to such request if such Indemnified Party knew of the
circumstances giving rise to such reductions and of the fact that such
circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of
such reductions.
Section 209. Replacement of Series 2005-1 Noteholder.
(a) In the event (i) any Series 2005-1 Noteholder (or any Indemnified

Section 620. Ownership of the Issuer. On the Closing Date, all of the
issued and outstanding membership interests of the Issuer are owned by TAL.
Section 621. Security Interest Representations.
(a) The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the
benefit of the Noteholders and any Hedge Counterparty, which security interest
is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of
and purchasers from the Issuer.
(b) The Containers constitute "goods" within the meaning of the
applicable UCC. The Leases constitute "tangible chattel paper" within the
meaning of the UCC. The lease receivables constitute "accounts" or "proceeds" of
the Leases with the meaning of the UCC. The Trust Account, the Restricted Cash
Account, the Temporary Loss Account and the Series 2005-1 Series Account
constitute "securities accounts" within the meaning of the UCC. The Issuer's
contractual rights under any Hedge Agreements, the Contribution and Sale
Agreement and the Management Agreement constitute "general intangibles" within
the meaning of the UCC.
(c) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the
Collateral, free and clear of any Lien (whether senior, junior or pari passu),
claim or encumbrance of any Person, except for Permitted Encumbrances.
(d) The Issuer has caused the filing of all appropriate financing
statements or documents of similar import in the proper filing office in the
appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect the security
interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee in the Indenture.
(e) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a
security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral, except as
permitted pursuant to the Indenture. The Issuer has not authorized the filing
of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against the Issuer that
include a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any
financing statement or document of similar import (i) relating to the security
interest granted to the Indenture Trustee in the Indenture or (ii) that has been
terminated. The Issuer has no actual knowledge of any judgment or tax lien
filings against the Issuer.
(f) Pursuant to Section 3.3.5 of the Management Agreement, the Manager
has acknowledged that it is holding the Leases, to the extent they relate to the
Managed Containers on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the Indenture Trustee.
None of the Leases that constitute or
-32-
evidence the Collateral has any marks or notations indicating that they have
been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person. The Seller has
caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements or documents of
similar import in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions
under Applicable Law in order to perfect the ownership interest of the Issuer
(and the Indenture Trustee as its assignee) in the Leases (to the extent that
such Leases relate to the Managed Containers) arising under the Contribution and
Sale Agreement.
(g) The Issuer has received all necessary consents and approvals
required by the terms of the Collateral to the pledge to the Indenture Trustee
of its interest and rights in such Collateral hereunder or under the Indenture.
(h) U.S. Bank National Association (in its capacity as securities
intermediary) has identified in its records the Indenture Trustee as the Person
having a Security Entitlement in each of the Trust Account, the Restricted Cash
Account, the Temporary Loss Account and the Series 2005-1 Series Account.
(i) The Trust Account, the Restricted Cash Account, the Temporary Loss
Account and the Series 2005-1 Series Account are not in the name of any Person
other than the Issuer. The Issuer has not consented for U.S. Bank National
Association (as the securities intermediary of the Trust Account, the Restricted
Cash Account, the Temporary Loss Account and the Series 2005-1 Series Account)
to comply with Entitlement Orders of any Person other than the Indenture
Trustee.
(j) No creditor of the Issuer (other than (x) with respect to the
Managed Containers, the related lessee and (y) the Manager in its capacity as
Manager under the Management Agreement) has in its possession any goods that
constitute or evidence the Collateral, other than for purposes of repair,
refurbishment, painting, positioning, storage and other similar matters with
respect to Managed Containers.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 621 shall survive
until this Supplement is terminated in accordance with its terms and the terms
of the Indenture. Any breaches of the representations and warranties set forth
in this Section 621 may be waived by the Indenture Trustee, only with the prior
written consent of the Control Party.
Section 622. Tax Election of the Issuer. None of the Issuer, any of
its members or any other Person has elected, or agreed to elect, to treat the
Issuer as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal
income tax purposes.

ARTICLE VII
The Policy
Section 701. The Policy. (a) On each Determination Date, the Indenture
Trustee shall determine, with respect to the immediately following Payment Date,
based solely on the information contained in the Manager Report, whether there
exists a Deficiency Amount.
(b) If there exists a Deficiency Amount which is an Insured Amount
under the Policy with respect to a Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall
complete a Notice in the form of Exhibit A to the Policy and submit such claim
for such Insured Amount to the Series Enhancer in accordance with the terms of
the Policy. Any payment made by the Series Enhancer under the Policy shall be
applied solely to the payment of principal of or interest (other than Default
Fees) on the Series 2005-1 Notes subject to the terms of the Policy.
(c) The Indenture Trustee shall (i) receive Insured Amounts as
attorney-in-fact of each of the Series 2005-1 Noteholders and (ii) disburse such
Insured Amounts directly to the Series 2005-1 Noteholders. The Issuer hereby
agrees for the benefit of the Series Enhancer (and each Series 2005-1
Noteholder, by acceptance of its Series 2005-1 Notes, will be deemed to have
agreed) that, without limiting any other rights of the Series Enhancer, to the
extent the Series Enhancer pays, or causes to be paid, Insured Amounts, either
directly or indirectly (as by paying through distribution to the Indenture
Trustee), to the Series 2005-1 Noteholders, the Series Enhancer will be entitled
to receive the related Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 302 hereof in
lieu of the Noteholders and will be subrogated to their payment rights
thereunder.
(d) The Series 2005-1 Notes will be insured by the Policy pursuant to
the terms set forth in the Policy, notwithstanding any provisions to the
contrary contained in this Supplement. All amounts received under the Policy
shall be used solely for the payment when due to the Series 2005-1 Noteholders
of the Insured Amounts.
(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with
respect to the principal of or interest on the Series 2005-1 Notes which is made
with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the Policy shall not be considered
payment by the Issuer with respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes, shall not
discharge the Issuer in respect of its obligation to make such payment, and
shall not result in the payment of, or the provision for the payment of, the
principal of or interest on, the Series 2005-1 Notes for purposes of Section 203
hereof or of the Indenture; provided, however, that notwithstanding any failure
of the Issuer to pay any such amounts, to the extent such payment is made to the
Noteholders with monies received pursuant to the terms of the Policy, the
Noteholders of such Series may not institute any Proceeding with respect to this
Supplement or any other Transaction Document, or exercise any other remedy
hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the applicable
Series Enhancer. Each Series 2005-1 Noteholder by its acceptance of a Series
2005-1 Note agrees, and the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge, that,
without the need for any further action on the part of the Series Enhancer, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, (i) to the extent
-34-
the Series Enhancer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of
principal of, or interest on, the Series 2005-1 Notes to the Series 2005-1
Noteholders, the Series Enhancer will be fully subrogated to the rights of such
Series 2005-1 Noteholders to receive such principal and interest from the
Issuer, and (ii) the Series Enhancer shall be paid such principal and interest
in its capacity as a partial subrogee of the Series 2005-1 Notes, but only from
the sources and in the manner and priority provided herein for the payment of
such principal and interest. To evidence the Series Enhancer's subrogation to
the rights of the Series 2005-1 Noteholders, the Note Register shall, upon
receipt from the Series Enhancer of proof of payment by the Series Enhancer of
any Insured Amount, make such notations upon the register of the Series 2005-1
Noteholders, if any, as is necessary to reflect the Series Enhancer's right to
be paid such principal and interest in its capacity as a partial subrogee of the
Series 2005-1 Notes. Nothing in this Section shall expose the Issuer or the
Collateral to double recovery for any such amounts.
(f) The parties hereto grant to the Series Enhancer, as long as no
Series Enhancer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the right of
prior approval of amendments, waivers or supplements to the Series 2005-1
Transaction Documents available to the Series 2005-1 Noteholders thereunder and
of the exercise of any option, vote, right, power or the like available to the
Series 2005-1 Noteholders hereunder. Nothing contained in this paragraph (f)
shall vitiate the right of a Series 2005-1 Noteholder to consent to any
amendments of the type separately set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) of
Section 1002(a) of the Indenture and Section 8.1(a) of the Note Purchase
Agreement.
(g) The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of
the amount and allocation of Insured Amounts and the Series Enhancer shall have
the right to inspect such records at reasonable times upon three (3) Business
Days' prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.
(h) In the event that a Preference Amount is payable under the Policy,
the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Series Enhancer, shall comply with the
provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by the Series Enhancer of such
Preference Amount, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the Series
Enhancer, notify the Series 2005-1 Noteholders by mail that, in the event that
any Series 2005-1 Noteholder's payment is so recoverable, the Indenture Trustee
on behalf of such Series 2005-1 Noteholder will be entitled to payment thereof
pursuant to the terms of the Policy. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the
Series Enhancer, at its written request, the requested records it holds in its
possession evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on the Series
2005-1 Notes, if any, which have been made by the Indenture Trustee and
subsequently recovered from Series 2005-1 Noteholders, and the dates on which
such payments were made.
Without limiting any rights of the Series Enhancer under the Policy or
any other Related Document, and without modifying or otherwise affecting any
terms or conditions of the Policy, each Series 2005-1 Noteholder, by its
acceptance of a Series 2005-1 Note, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree that
the Series Enhancer (so long as no Series Enhancer Default exists) may at any
time during the continuation of any Proceeding relating to a Preference Amount
direct all matters relating to such Preference Amount, including, without
limitation, (i)
-35-
the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any Preference Amount and
(ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such
appeal. In addition, and without limitation of the foregoing, the Series
Enhancer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and each
such Series 2005-1 Noteholder in the conduct of any Proceeding with respect to
any such Preference Amount, including, without limitation, all rights of any
party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any order issued in
connection with any such Preference Amount. Insured Amounts paid by the Series
Enhancer to the Indenture Trustee shall be received by the Indenture Trustee, as
agent to the Series 2005-1 Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, as agent to the
Series 2005-1 Noteholders, hereby acknowledges and affirms that the Series
Enhancer shall be fully subrogated to the rights of the Series 2005-1
Noteholders to any monies paid or payable in respect of the Series 2005-1 Notes
to the extent of any payment made by the Series Enhancer pursuant to the terms
of the Policy, and any interest (including Repayment Amounts consisting of
interest on any Repayment Amount) due thereon.
(i) By acceptance of a Series 2005-1 Note, each Series 2005-1
Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Policy, including, without
limitation, the method and timing of payment and the Series Enhancer's right of
subrogation.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that payments on the
Series 2005-1 Notes are accelerated, such accelerated payments will not be
covered by the Series Enhancer under the Policy, unless the Series Enhancer
shall elect to make such accelerated payments in accordance with and subject to
the terms of the Policy.
(k) The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to enforce on behalf of
the Series 2005-1 Noteholders the obligations of the Series Enhancer under the
Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplement or any Series
2005-1 Transaction Document, the Series 2005-1 Noteholders are not entitled to
make any claims under the Policy or institute proceedings directly against the
Series Enhancer.
(l) Nothing in this Section 701 or in any other Section hereof shall
or is intended to modify any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the
Policy.
