SECTION 2. THE CREDIT LOAN.

           Section 2.1 Commitments to Make Credit Loans.

           (a) Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, each Lender shall make available to the Borrower on the Restatement Date or such later date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement its Commitment in the Commitment Amount set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule 4 hereto.

           (b) Evidence of Credit Loans. During the Revolving Credit Period, each of the Notes shall be a revolving note with a maximum principal amount equal to the then current Commitment of the related Lender.

           (c) Funding of Credit Loans. On any Business Day requested by the Borrower and presuming that the Borrower shall have satisfied all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4 and 5 hereof, each Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, deposit with the account designated by the Borrower by wire transfer of same day funds not later than 4:00 p.m. (Amsterdam time) an amount equal to its pro rata share of the requested Credit Loan; provided, however, that each Credit Loan by each Lender shall be for an amount (A) not less than the lesser of (x) its then Unused Commitment and (y) such Lender's pro rata share of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and (B) not greater than the then Availability of such Lender.

           (d) Request for Credit Loan. Each Borrowing Notice shall be submitted in writing to the Agent by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Amsterdam time) on the fourth (4th) Business Day prior to the date of the requested Credit Loan, and the Agent shall promptly (but in no event later than 6:00 p.m. (Amsterdam time) on the Business Day after a Borrowing Notice is received) provide each Lender with a copy of each such Borrowing Notice accompanied by all of the attachments set forth in the definition thereof. Such notice shall include a calculation of the Asset Base (calculated to include any Eligible Containers and/or Eligible Leases to be acquired with the proceeds of such Credit Loan). Each Borrowing Notice shall constitute a reaffirmation by Borrower that (1) no Default, Event of Default, Early Amortization Event or Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing and no event or condition has occurred or is existing that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Early Amortization Event or a Servicer Default and (2) the representations and warranties of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Parent Guarantor contained in the Loan 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 such representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such earlier date.

           (e) A Borrowing Notice, once delivered to the Agent, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. If any Credit Loan requested by the Borrower is not made or effectuated on the specified Funding Date, for any reason whatsoever related to a default or nonperformance by the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay Funding Losses. In connection with any Credit Loan or any Funding Date, all of the Lenders may, in their collective and absolute discretion, grant the Borrower extensions and/or waivers in fulfilling its obligations under this Section 2.1 and in fulfilling the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof.

           (f) Obligations of Lenders Several. The failure of any Lender to make a Credit Loan hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make a Credit Loan on such funding date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Credit Loan to be made by such other Lender on such funding date.

           (g) Extension of the Revolving Credit Period. The Borrower may, within 60 days, but no later than 45 days, prior to the date set forth in item (i) of the definition of Conversion Date (or such shorter period, as has been approved by the Lenders), by written notice to each Lender request the extension of the Revolving Credit Period for an additional period of up to 364 days from the date on which the renewal is approved. Each of the Lenders shall make a determination, in its sole discretion and after a full credit review, within 30 days of its receipt of the Borrower's request, as to whether or not it will agree to extend the Revolving Credit Period; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make a timely response to the Borrower's request for extension of the Revolving Credit Period shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Lender to extend the Revolving Credit Period. The Revolving Credit Period shall only be extended upon the consent of 100% of the Lenders. Any such renewal shall become effective only upon written confirmation to the Borrower by each Lender of its agreement to so renew and upon receipt by each Lender of a renewal fee in an amount as shall be determined at such time.

           Section 2.2 The Notes.  The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Credit Loans and to pay interest thereon and other sums which may become payable with respect thereto shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes (collectively the Notes, and singly, a Note) of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2. Each Note shall evidence the Borrower's obligations in respect of the Credit Loans and shall be denominated in an amount up to the Lender's Commitment Amount; provided, however, that the indebtedness evidenced by such Note shall in no event exceed the aggregate principal amount of all Credit Loans at any time advanced by the payee Lender that remain unpaid. Each Lender shall endorse on its Note, or enter in a record pertaining thereto, all Credit Loans and repayments thereof, provided that the failure by any Lender to make any such notation shall not affect the unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay all amounts due under the Note held by such Lender as and when payments with respect to the Credit Loan are due.

           Section 2.3 Principal Payments on the Notes.

                (a) On each Payment Date occurring during the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on behalf of each Lender in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in subpart (I) of Section 2.18(b) a principal payment on its Note in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the Asset Base Deficiency (if any).

                (b) On each Payment Date occurring after the Revolving Credit Period has expired or been terminated and on which no Early Amortization Event is continuing, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on behalf of each Lender a principal payment on its Note in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the Scheduled Principal Payment for such Payment Date.

                (c) On each Payment Date on which an Early Amortization Event is then continuing, all of the remaining available Distributable Cash Flow, in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in subpart (II) of Section 2.18(b), will be used to repay the principal balance of the Notes; provided, however, that if only a Designated Early Amortization Event is then continuing, then, so long as no other Early Amortization Event is then continuing, only the Designated Early Amortization Amount will be used to repay the Note, which amount shall be in addition to the Scheduled Principal Payment payable on such date. On each Payment Date on which an Event of Default is then continuing, all of the remaining available Distributable Cash Flow, in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in subpart (III) of Section 2.18(b), will be used to repay the principal balance of the Notes.

                (d) The unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued interest and other amounts owing on, or with respect to, the Notes shall be payable in full on the earlier to occur of (x) the Final Maturity Date and (y) the date on which the Note(s) have been declared due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof.

     Section 2.4 Interest on the Credit Loan.

                (a) Interest will be paid on each Note on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Note Interest Payment for the Interest Period ended on the day prior to such Payment Date.

                (b) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Note exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. If at any time the interest rate charged with respect to a Note exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to such Note shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, but any subsequent reductions in Eurodollar Rate shall not reduce the interest to accrue on such Note below the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law until the total amount of interest accrued on such Note equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest rate had at all times been in effect. If the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Note under the foregoing provisions is less than the total amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all times been in effect, the Borrower agrees to pay to the affected Lender(s) an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law had at all times been in effect, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

                (c) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year composed of 360 days and calculated for the actual number days elapsed. Each overdue amount payable to the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any Note, whether of principal, interest, Funding Losses, or otherwise, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest from the due date thereof to the date such amount is paid in full (whether before or after judgment) at the Default Rate from time to time in effect, compounded daily and payable by the Borrower upon demand by the Agent or any Lender at any time and from time to time.

           Section 2.5 Revolving Credit Facility.

          The facility evidenced by this Agreement is a revolving credit facility. Accordingly, the Borrower will, subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement and prior to the occurrence of the Conversion Date have the right to reborrow any amounts repaid to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

           Section 2.6 Fees. (a) At the times and in the amounts set forth in the Structuring Fee Letter, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent the "Structuring Fee" described therein.

                (b) At the times and in the amounts set forth in the Facility Fee Letter, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent the "Facility Fee" described therein.

                (c) On each Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Conversion Date and on the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") in an amount equal to the product of (i) forty-five hundredths of one percent (0.45%), (ii) the average Unused Commitment of such Lender for the Interest Period (or portion thereof) ended on the immediately preceding day, and (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the Interest Period (or portion thereof) referred to in clause (ii) above, and the denominator of which is 360.

                (d) At the times and in the amounts set forth in the Agent Fee Letter, the Borrower shall pay the Agent Fee to the Agent in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.18 hereof.

           Section 2.7 Prepayments.

                (a) Voluntary Prepayment. Upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Agent, the Borrower may, on any Payment Date, prepay, in whole or in part, the then unpaid principal amount of all of the Notes. In connection with any prepayment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(a), the Borrower shall be required to pay, contemporaneously with such prepayment, an amount equal to the sum of (i) accrued interest on the principal balance being prepaid calculated through the date of such prepayment, and (ii) any Funding Losses incurred as the result of such prepayment. Any such voluntary prepayment made subsequent to the Conversion Date shall be used to reduce all future Scheduled Principal Payments in equal amounts.

           (b) Mandatory Payments for Asset Base Deficiency. On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall make a mandatory payment of the Notes in an amount equal to the Asset Base Deficiency; provided, however, that the failure to make such payment shall not in itself constitute an Event of Default unless and until such time as an Event of Default may occur pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(o) hereof.

                (c) Mandatory Prepayment for Servicer Default. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default (unless otherwise waived in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and except for a CAI Servicer Default), the Borrower shall be required to make a mandatory prepayment of the Notes in an amount equal to the then remaining Aggregate Maximum Guaranteed Payment (and payment to the Agent by the Parent Guarantor shall be deemed to be a prepayment by the Borrower). In connection with any prepayment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(c), the Borrower shall be required to pay, contemporaneously with such prepayment, an amount equal to the sum of (i) accrued interest on the principal balance being prepaid, calculated through the date of such prepayment, and (ii) any Funding Losses incurred as the result of such prepayment.

                (d) Voluntary Prepayment Related to Certain Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 8(m), the Borrower may prepay in whole (but not in part) the then unpaid principal amount of all of the Notes. In connection with any prepayment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(d), the Borrower shall be required to pay, contemporaneously with such prepayment, an amount equal to the sum of (i) accrued interest on the principal balance being prepaid calculated through the date of such prepayment, and (ii) any Funding Losses incurred as the result of such prepayment.

           Section 2.8 Illegality or Impossibility.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if on any date: (A) the introduction of, change in, or change in the interpretation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority of, any Law or regulation applicable to any Lender shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction thereof shall assert that it is unlawful for any Lender to permit a Credit Loan to be loaned on a Eurodollar Rate Basis in accordance with the provisions hereof, or (B) if any Lender shall reasonably determine that: (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the Eurodollar interbank market, adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate which would otherwise be applicable during any Interest Period, (ii) deposits of Dollars in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to such Lender in the Eurodollar interbank market, or (iii) the Eurodollar Rate does not or will not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of maintaining any Credit Loan on a Eurodollar Rate Basis during any Interest Period, then such affected Lender shall promptly give facsimile or other written notice of such determination to the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly give facsimile or other written notice of such determination to the Borrower (which notice shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) and to the other Lenders. Upon such notification by the Agent, the obligation of the affected Lender(s) to lend or maintain any Credit Loan on the applicable Eurodollar Rate Basis shall be suspended until the affected Lender determines that such circumstances no longer exist. Upon such notification and suspension by the Agent, the Borrower shall have the option to prepay immediately the affected Credit Loans in full without penalty or premium; provided, however, that the Borrower shall pay all of the following: (i) any Funding Losses, (ii) accrued interest on the principal balance being prepaid, calculated through the date of such prepayment and (iii) any additional amounts or fees payable to each of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall not exercise its option to prepay immediately then, unless any such Law, regulation or other authority requires otherwise, any existing Credit Loan shall continue to bear interest at the applicable Eurodollar Rate Basis until the succeeding Payment Date, and thereafter, shall bear interest at the sum of (A) the Applicable Margin plus (B) the lower of (x) the Lender's cost of funds and (y) the prime or base rate of interest announced by from time to time by Citibank, N.A. If such Law, regulation, interpretation or other authority requires any existing Credit Loan bearing interest on a Eurodollar Rate Basis to be converted prior to the succeeding Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on demand any required Funding Losses.

                (b) Each Lender will make reasonable efforts and will take reasonable actions (including, without limitation, the designation of a different lending office for the Credit Loan if such efforts and/or actions will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

           Section 2.9 Additional Costs and Expenses; Reserve Charge; Capital Requirements.

                (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date hereof the enactment of, change in or change in the interpretation of any Law (which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender (or Credit Support Party) by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority, whether or not having the force of law) shall: (i) subject any Lender (or Credit Support Party) to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document or with respect to maintaining any Credit Loan on a Eurodollar Rate Basis (except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Lender (or Credit Support Party) or any franchise Taxes in lieu thereof); or (ii) materially change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of, interest or any other amounts payable by the Borrower while a Credit Loan is on a Eurodollar Rate Basis; or (iii) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit or reserve or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits in or for the respective accounts of, or loans (including the Credit Loan) made by any Lender (or Credit Support Party); or (iv) impose on any Lender (or Credit Support Party) any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is: (A) to increase the cost to such Lender of maintaining (or agreeing to acquire or maintain) a Credit Loan on a Eurodollar Rate Basis; or (B) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to such Lender (or Credit Support Party) hereunder; or (C) to require such Lender (or Credit Support Party) to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder, then, and in each such case, the Borrower shall, on the Payment Date following demand made by the Agent (following notice thereof from the affected Lender (or Credit Support Party) to the Agent) at any time and from time to time as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to the Agent in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.18 hereof such additional amounts as will be sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of the affected Lender (or Credit Support Party), to compensate such Lender (or Credit Support Party) for such additional costs, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other amount; provided, however, that if an affected Lender (or Credit Support Party) fails to notify the Borrower of such additional costs, reductions, foregone interest or other amounts within ninety (90) days after such Lender (or Credit Support Party) obtains actual notice that such amounts have been or will be incurred, then such Lender (or Credit Support Party) should only be entitled to payment of such costs, reductions or other amounts incurred from and after the date 90 days prior to the date on which the affected Lender (or Credit Support Party) gives such notice, and provided further that, in lieu of paying such additional fee, the Borrower shall have the option to prepay immediately the Credit Loan of the affected Lender (or Credit Support Party) in full (together with accrued interest thereon) without penalty or premium except for (i) any Funding Losses that may become due and payable as a consequence of such prepayment, (ii) accrued interest on the principal balance being prepaid, calculated through the date of such prepayment, and (iii) any additional amounts or fees payable to each of the Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.9(a) that were not eliminated by virtue of such prepayment.

                (b) If any Lender (or Credit Support Party) shall have determined that: (i) the adoption of or change after the date hereof in any Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of such entity issued after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) has or would have the effect of reducing the return on such Lender's or such holding company's capital as a consequence of any Credit Loan made or agreed to be made or acquired, by such Lender (or Credit Support Party) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents to a level below that which such Lender (or Credit Support Party) could have achieved (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change or compliance and assuming that such Lender's (or Credit Support Party) capital was fully utilized prior to such adoption, change or compliance) but for such adoption, change or compliance, then (A) such Lender (or Credit Support Party) shall promptly after its determination of such occurrence give notice thereof to the Agent, and thereafter the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower; and (B) the Borrower shall, on the Payment Date following demand therefore from the Agent, pay to the Agent in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.18 hereof for the respective account(s) of the affected Lender(s), as an additional fee such amount as each affected Lender(s) (or Credit Support Party) shall have certified to the Agent to be the amount that will compensate it for such reduction, provided that in lieu of paying such additional fee, the Borrower shall have the option to prepay immediately the Credit Loan in full (together with accrued interest thereon) without penalty or premium except for (i) any Funding Losses that may become due and payable as a consequence of such prepayment, (ii) accrued interest on the principal balance being prepaid, calculated through the date of such prepayment and (iii) any additional amounts or fees payable to each of the Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.9(b) that were not eliminated by virtue of such prepayment.

           Section 2.10 The Agent's or Lender's Certificates. A certificate signed by the Agent or any Lender setting forth any additional amount required to be paid by the Borrower to the Agent pursuant to the provisions of any of Sections 2.8, 2.9 or 2.17 shall be delivered by the Agent to the Borrower in connection with each demand made at any time upon the Borrower under any of such sections. Each such certificate shall set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the method by which such amounts were determined, which may include any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Each such certificate shall absent manifest error, be deemed true and correct evidence of the additional amount required to be paid by the Borrower to the Agent. A claim by the Agent for all or any part of any additional amount required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of any of Sections 2.8, 2.9 or 2.17 may be made before and/or after the end of the Interest Period to which such claim relates or during which such claim has arisen and before and/or after any repayment or prepayment of any amount owed hereunder to which such claim relates.

           Section 2.11 Pro Rata Treatment.  Except as expressly set forth herein, principal and interest payments and amounts received in payment of the Notes for any reason and from any source shall be applied pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the proportion of then unpaid Credit Loans made by each Lender to the Aggregate Note Principal Balance. All other payments received by the Agent from, or on behalf of, the Borrower hereunder shall, unless specifically attributable to the Agent or a Lender or otherwise provided herein, be applied on a pro rata basis among the Lenders based upon the proportion of outstanding Credit Loans of each Lender to the Aggregate Note Principal Balance.

           Section 2.12 Funding of Credit Loans.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of the Credit Loan in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Credit Loan made on or converted to a Eurodollar Rate Basis during the Interest Period for such Credit Loan through the purchase of deposits having a term corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the applicable Eurodollar Rate in the case of a Credit Loan made on a Eurodollar Rate Basis.

          Section 2.13 Obligations Several.  The rights and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and no Lender's obligation to lend shall be affected by any other Lender's failure to make any Credit Loan.

          Section 2.14 Replacement of an Affected Lender.  (a) If no Default or Event of Default then exists or is continuing and if (i) as the result of the application of Section 2.8, the obligation of one or more (but not all) of the Lenders to permit a Credit Loan to be loaned in a Eurodollar Rate Basis is suspended for more than thirty (30) days, or (ii) as the result of the application of Section 2.9, one or more (but not all) of Lenders which has caused the Agent to notify the Borrower of increased capital requirements and the affected Lender(s) are unable to agree on an adjustment to the compensation payable to such Lender within the specified 30 day period, or (iii) the Borrower must make a payment pursuant to Section 2.17 with respect to such Lender, then, in each such case, during a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, the Borrower, by notice to the Agent, may elect to cause such affected Lender to assign its interest hereunder and in its Credit Loans to one or more of the other Lenders (if any such Lender so desires to accept such an assignment), or to another financial institution selected by the Borrower and acceptable to the Agent, any such assignment to be effected in accordance with Section 16.

                (b) In the event any Lender does not consent (or fails to respond) to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Borrower (including, without limitation, any proposed amendment, modification or waiver with respect to the matters set forth in Section 20 of this Agreement), the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 16(b)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement to an Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: (i) such replaced Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Credit Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (ii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

           Section 2.15 Form and Terms of Payment.  All payments made by the Borrower hereunder in respect of the Credit Loan, including principal, interest, Funding Losses, and any other obligations of the Borrower, shall be made to the Agent in accordance with the instructions set forth on Schedule 4 hereto or such other account as the Agent shall specify. Promptly upon receipt of each such payment, the Agent shall distribute all such amounts to the appropriate Lenders. All payments shall be made in immediately available and freely transferable funds. Any payment due hereunder or under any other Loan Document that falls due on a day that is not a Business Day shall be rescheduled to the next succeeding Business Day and interest and fees shall continue to accrue to such next succeeding Business Day, unless with respect to a loan on a Eurodollar Rate Basis such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for such payment shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

           Section 2.16 Funding Losses.  The Borrower shall compensate the Lenders, upon request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any swap breakage costs, loss or cost (including interest paid) in liquidating or employing deposits required to fund or maintain a Credit Loan on a Eurodollar Rate Basis and any interest paid by the Lenders to lenders of funds borrowed by them to make or carry a Credit Loan on a Eurodollar Rate Basis) which the Lenders may sustain: (a) if for any reason a Credit Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Notice due to an act of omission of the Borrower; (b) if any repayment (including repayments following acceleration of the Obligations due to an Event of Default) or continuation of any Credit Loan occurs for any reason on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any Credit Loan is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (d) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay a Credit Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement or the Notes (collectively, Funding Losses). The Borrower shall pay such amount upon presentation by the affected Lenders of a certificate pursuant to Section 2.10 setting forth the amount and such calculation thereof pursuant hereto.

           Section 2.17 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.

                (a) All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or otherwise paid or payable to Agent (as used in this Section 2.17, Payments) shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction by reason of, Taxes, all of which shall be paid by the Borrower for its own account not later than the date when due. If the Borrower is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any Payment, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding; (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate taxing authority not later than the date when due; (c) deliver to Agent, promptly and in any event within fifteen (15) days after the date on which such Taxes become due, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Agent of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) pay to Agent or the affected Lender forthwith upon any request by Agent therefor from time to time, such additional amounts as may be necessary so that each Lender receives, free and clear of all Taxes, the full amount of such Payment stated to be due under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document as if no such deduction or withholding had been made. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes paid by such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto (except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Lender or the Agent or any franchise Taxes in lieu thereof) without duplication of any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9(a).

                (b) From time to time, if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent, each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with (i) United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

                (c) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower and the Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 2.17(b) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to any "gross-up" of Taxes or indemnification under Section 2.17(a) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

By not later than March 31, 2005, the Borrower will enter into and thereafter maintain (or will cause to be entered into and maintained) Interest Rate Hedge Agreements with Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Providers to hedge its exposure to Finance Leases and Term Leases. The notional balances of any Interest Rate Hedge Agreements entered into with respect to Finance Leases shall amortize in a manner consistent with the remaining rental payment on such Finance Leases. The notional balance of all Interest Rate Hedge Agreements entered into with respect to Term Leases shall amortize at an annual rate reasonably consistent with the depreciation rate associated with the Containers then subject to such Term Leases. The required notional balances of such Interest Rate Hedge Agreements shall be as follows (the "Hedging Requirements"):

       (i) with respect to Finance Leases, at least ninety percent (90%) and not more than one hundred percent (100%) of the portion of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance which finances the Finance Leases. The portion of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance which finances the Finance Leases is determined by the product of (A) the sum of the Aggregate Finance Lease Value and (B) 75.00%;

       (ii) with respect to Term Leases, at least seventy percent (70%) and not more than one hundred percent (100%) of the portion of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance which finances the Term Leases. The portion of the Aggregate Note Principal Balance which finances the Term Leases is determined by the product of (A) the sum of the Aggregate Net Book Value and (B) 75.00%.

                 (b) After the Restatement Date, upon the acquisition of additional Finance Leases and Term Leases, then, within thirty (30) days after the date of such acquisition, the Borrower shall enter into additional Interest Rate Hedge Agreements in a notional amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Hedging Requirements will be satisfied.

                 (c) If the Borrower, or Servicer on behalf of Borrower, fails to maintain the Hedging Requirements, the Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion to direct the Agent, to enter into Interest Rate Hedge Agreements, caps or collars on the Borrower's behalf. In the event the Agent enters into an Interest Rate Hedge Agreement on the Borrower's behalf, the Agent shall promptly send a copy of any such agreement to the Borrower and may provide the Agent and Servicer with a written direction to deposit in the Trust Account certain amounts to purchase, or reimburse the Agent or a third party for purchase, such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement.

                 (d) As additional security hereunder, the Borrower hereby assigns to the Agent all right, title and interest of the Borrower under each Interest Rate Hedge Agreement, including, but not limited to, all present and future amounts payable by an Interest Rate Hedge Provider to the Borrower under or in connection with such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that, as a result of such assignment, the Borrower may not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, exercise any rights under any Interest Rate Hedge Agreement that could reasonably be expected to have a materially adversely effect on the rights of the Agent and Lender's hereunder, as assignee of the Borrower's rights under such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall have the effect of releasing the Borrower from any of its obligations under an Interest Rate Hedge Agreement or be construed as requiring the consent of the Agent, any Lender or third party beneficiary hereunder for the performance of the Borrower's obligations thereunder.

                 (e) The Borrower shall enter into each Interest Rate Hedge Agreement only with an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider. Each Interest Rate Hedge Agreement shall provide that if the Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider or any party providing credit support on its behalf suffers an Interest Rate Hedge Provider Minimum Rating Downgrade Event, the Interest Rate Hedge Provider will be required to post, within ten (10) Business Days of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider Minimum Rating Downgrade Event, collateral set forth in the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement and execute a "Credit Support Annex" in connection therewith. Failure to post collateral within such time shall constitute a termination event under the terms of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. Such Interest Rate Hedge Provider may transfer (at its own cost), with the cooperation of the Borrower and the Servicer, all of its rights and obligations under its Interest Rate Hedge Agreement to an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider in accordance with the terms of its Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. Each Interest Rate Hedge Agreement shall also provide that if the Interest Rate Hedge Provider (or any party providing credit support identified in the Interest Rate Hedge Agreement or any credit support annex thereto on its behalf) suffers an Interest Rate Hedge Provider Required Rating Downgrade Event, such Interest Rate Hedge Provider will be required to transfer (at its own cost) all of its rights and obligations under its Interest Rate Hedge Agreement to an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider not later than thirty (30) Business Days after the occurrence of the Interest Rate Hedge Provider Required Rating Downgrade Event. Upon the occurrence of an Interest Rate Hedge Provider Required Rating Downgrade Event, the Agent shall have the right to direct the Borrower to terminate the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Agent, or shall, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, terminate the Interest Rate Hedge Agreement and simultaneously enter into a replacement Interest Rate Hedge Agreement in the event the Interest Rate Hedge Provider fails to post collateral or transfer its rights and interests under the Interest Rate Hedge Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Hedge Agreement.

                 (f) The Agent shall, promptly after any downgrade for which the Interest Rate Hedge Provider is required to post collateral, establish a single segregated trust account (with separate subaccounts for each financial institution acting as an Interest Rate Hedge Provider) in the name of the Agent (collectively, the "Counterparty Collateral Account"), which shall be held in trust in the name of the Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders and over which the Agent shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, investment earnings on amounts held in the Counterparty Collateral Account shall be remitted to the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Provider upon its written request and its representation that the request is in accordance with the terms of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. The Agent shall deposit all collateral received from an Interest Rate Hedge Provider under an Interest Rate Hedge Agreement in the Counterparty Collateral Account. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise held to the credit of, the Counterparty Collateral Account shall be held in trust by the Agent for the benefit of the secured parties under this Agreement. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of the Counterparty Collateral Account shall be (i) for application to obligations of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Provider to the Borrower under its Interest Rate Hedge Agreement, if such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement becomes subject to early termination, or (ii) to return collateral or investment earnings to such Interest Rate Hedge Provider when and as required by such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. The Agent shall take all actions necessary to return collateral to any Interest Rate Hedge Provider as described in the preceding sentence including, without limitation, issuance of entitlement orders to any Securities Intermediary (as defined in the UCC). No actions taken under this Section 6.19 shall be at the expense of the Agent.

                 (g) All payments received from an Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall be deposited by the Borrower directly into the Trust Account and distributed in accordance with Section 2.18(b) hereof.

                 (h) Any notional reductions shall be effected over all outstanding transactions under Interest Rate Hedge Agreements then in effect on a pro rata basis pursuant to the terms of the Interest Rate Hedge Agreements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V., in its individual capacity on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby agrees that any Interest Rate Hedge Agreement entered into by such Person with respect hereto shall be fully assignable by the Borrower upon the termination of the Security Agreement and the lien created thereunder; provided, however, that, after giving effect to such assignment, all of the following conditions shall be satisfied: (i) the Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall be secured by the Containers and Related Assets, (ii) the amount of collateral supporting the obligations to the Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall not be materially less than the amount of collateral hereunder, (iii) the priority of payments (whether in a securitization or a secured lending facility) to the Interest Rate Hedge Provider (both in terms of scheduled payments and termination payments) shall be on substantially the same terms as the priority of payments provided for hereunder and (iv) the Interest Rate Hedge Provider's rights and remedies under any successor transaction document shall not be materially less than the rights and remedies granted hereunder.

          Section 6.20 UNIDROIT Convention. The Borrower shall comply with the terms and provisions of the UNIDROIT Convention on International Interests in Mobile Goods or any other internationally recognized system for recording interests in or liens against shipping containers at the time that such convention is adopted by the container leasing industry.

          Section 6.22 Investment Company. The Borrower will conduct its operations in a manner which will not subject it to registration as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          Section 6.23 United States Tax Election. The Borrower shall make an election pursuant to Section 301.7701-3 of the Code to be either classified as a partnership or disregarded as an entity separate from its owner.

          Section 6.24 Independent Quotaholder. All of the common quotas of the Borrower will be owned by an Independent Person.

          Section 6.25 Intercreditor Delivery.

If the Majority Lenders so elect, then such revised and/or additional financial covenants shall automatically be incorporated by reference into this Agreement without the need for further action by any party whatsoever.

                 (g) This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be enforced against the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor by the Agent as agent of each of the Lenders, if so instructed, without the necessity of joining any or all of them as parties in the enforcement proceedings.

                 (j) The arrangements regarding all of or any part of the Cash Collateral Account shall not constitute a debt of the Agent due or payable to the Borrower and, accordingly, the Borrower shall at no time be entitled to withdraw any sum standing to its credit in the Cash Collateral Account until all of the Obligations have been paid in full.

                 (k) The Agent shall be permitted to invest from time to time any amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of prime commercial banks (having a maturity of fewer than 30 days).

           Section 10.2 Waivers of Default. Any Default or Event of Default may be waived as provided in Section 20. The Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing of any waiver granted hereunder.

No such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be in any way obligated or required to grant any waiver and the decision to grant any waiver shall be in the sole discretion of the Lenders.

SECTION 11. SET OFF.

          In addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights granted by applicable law, and regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any Lender to the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower may, without notice to the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower (which is hereby expressly waived), be set off against any and all liabilities, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter rising, of the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower to such Lender. Each Lender agrees with the other Lenders that if an amount to be set off is to be applied to any Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower to any such Lender, whether Indebtedness evidenced by any of the Notes or due under this Agreement or otherwise arising, such amount shall be applied ratably to all such indebtedness (except to the extent not permitted by the terms of any agreement or instrument evidencing the same). Each Lender further agrees with the other Lenders that if such Lender shall both (a) receive from either the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower or from any other source whatsoever, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of set-off, counterclaim, cross action, or enforcement of any claim evidenced by the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and (b) retain and apply to the payment of the amounts owing with respect to the Notes or of any amounts due to any such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document any amount which is in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders, then such Lender shall make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution until the amount of such excess has been exhausted, assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise, as shall result in each such Lender receiving in respect of its Notes and the amounts due any such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document its ratable share of all such payments.

           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11, any set-off rights exercisable by the Agent or any Lender hereunder against the Parent Guarantor or any of its property shall be subject to the Aggregate Maximum Guaranteed Payment (as such term is defined in the Parent Guaranty).

SECTION 12. SECURITY AND DISCHARGE.

                 (a) The Obligations shall be secured by the Parent Guaranty and the Security Agreement. The execution and delivery of the Parent Guaranty and each of the Security Documents shall constitute a condition precedent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

                 (b) Full Discharge.

       (i) Subject to Section 9 of the Security Agreement, upon payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Notes issued hereunder and all other amounts owing to the Agent, the Lender or to any person under this Credit Agreement and all Commitments shall have been terminated, this Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement shall be discharged and the security interest of the Agent in the Containers and the Related Assets shall be terminated.

                 (c) Partial Discharge. Upon any prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement, at the request of the Borrower, the Agent shall remit to the Borrower appropriate documentation evidencing the partial release of Collateral, so long as (w) the requested release would not give rise to a Default, an Early Amortization Event, a Servicer Default or an Event of Default, (x) the requested release would not result in an Asset Base Deficiency, (y) a Default, an Early Amortization Event, a Servicer Default or an Event of Default is not then continuing and (z) the Borrower shall use no adverse selection procedures in selecting the Collateral to be released, and the Agent shall authorize the filing by the Borrower of any financing statements prepared by the Borrower evidencing such partial discharge and release.

The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders or such other percentage of the Lenders as is expressly set forth in this Agreement, provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

           Section 13.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates of the Agent has made any representations or warranties to it and that no action by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and credit-worthiness of the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor and made its own decision to make its Credit Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking, or directing, any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and credit-worthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or credit-worthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of the Agent or any officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates of the Agent.

           Section 13.7 Indemnification.

                 (a) Each of the Lenders (or, in the case of a Conduit Lender, its managing agent) agrees to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to the principal balances of their respective Notes on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent (including any Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein, and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of the handling of money or funds received by the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, simple negligence. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

                 (b) The Agent shall not be required to expend any of its own money to make up the full amount of any Credit Loan requested by the Borrower hereunder, or otherwise or incur any expense as a consequence of the failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent any Credit Loan which the Lenders have become obliged to make hereunder. If such a failure should occur and the Agent shall nevertheless have advanced money of its own or incur expense in order to make up the full amount of any such Credit Loan, it shall be deemed to have done so at the request of any Lender, which is in default, unless such Lender shall have previously notified the Agent that it should not make such an advance or incur such an expense to make good such failure, and in the absence of such prior notice, such Lender shall be obliged to pay to the Agent on demand the amount expended by the Agent out of its own funds plus any costs incurred by the Agent to carry such funds while such Lender is in default to the Agent hereunder, all of which shall constitute a loan by the Agent to such Lender which shall bear interest from the date of the advance by the Agent at its cost of funds plus the Applicable Margin from day to day on the Credit Loan with respect to which the advance or expenditure was made. During the continuance of any such default as between the Agent and such Lender, and notwithstanding anything elsewhere herein to the contrary expressed or implied, the principal amount of indebtedness in respect of Credit Loans made by such Lender in default shall be deemed to be reduced, so long as the default continues, by the amount not remitted by it to the Agent to make up such Lender's share of the amount of such Credit Loan and such principal amount and interest thereon shall be deemed assigned to and collectible by the Agent for its own account for application against the amount of its claim under the preceding sentence.

                 (c) In the event that the Agent does not receive from any Lender a payment which such Lender is required by the terms hereof to make to the Agent and the Agent has made the amount thereof available to the Borrower, as the intended recipient thereof, if the Borrower repays the Agent the amount made available to it, the Borrower shall be subrogated to the Agent's right to recover such amount from any Lender which failed to make such required payment.

           Section 13.8 Failure to Act.   Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 13.7 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

           Section 13.9 The Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, and its Affiliates as though Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V. were not the Agent hereunder and Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V. (any such successor) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. With respect to its Credit Loans made or renewed by it, and any Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

           Section 13.10 Successor Agent.   The Agent may voluntarily resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, or shall resign upon the written request of the Majority Lenders (which, for this purpose, shall exclude any Credit Loans owing by the Borrower to the Agent or any of its Affiliates) if the Agent has failed to comply with the terms of this Agreement, with such written request also being provided to the Borrower. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent which successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the resigning Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement, or any holders of the Notes. If a successor Agent is not appointed before the end of such thirty (30) day notice period, the resigning Agent shall continue to serve as Agent hereunder for a limited period of time (not to exceed 15 days) beyond such thirty (30) day notice period; provided that (i) the Borrower and the Lenders diligently attempt to identify and appoint a successor Agent and (ii) after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor agent from among the existing Lenders willing to serve in such capacity. No resignation of an Agent shall become effective until such time as (i) a successor Agent has been appointed and (ii) the retiring Agent shall have assigned to the successor Agent all of its interest in the Collateral. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.

           Section 13.11 Exercise of Remedies Under Security Documents.   Unless the Agent shall have determined that immediate action is desirable in order to protect the interests of the Lenders, the Agent shall consult with the Lenders before exercising any remedies under the Security Documents and shall (subject to receiving indemnification pursuant to Section 13.7) take such actions with respect thereto as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders.

           Section 13.12 Standard of Care.

          In performing its duties and functions hereunder, the Agent will exercise the same degree of care which it normally exercises in making and handling loans in which it alone is interested, but it does not assume further responsibility.

           Section 13.13 Dealing with the Lenders.

                 (a) The Agent may at all times deal solely with the several Lenders for all purposes of this Agreement and the protection, enforcement and collection of the Notes, including the acceptance and reliance upon any certificate, consent or other document of such Lenders and the division of payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding possession by the Agent of actual knowledge that any Lender has sold a participation in Credit Loans made or to be made by it hereunder to another Person.

                 (b) Promptly upon receipt thereof (or, such other time as shall be set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents), the Agent shall send to each Lender a copy of all financial statements, certificates, notices or other reports delivered to the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.

           Section 13.14 Duties Not to be Increased.

          The duties and liabilities of the Agent shall not be increased without the written consent of the Agent.

           Section 13.15 Performance of Obligations.

          The Agent agrees to perform its obligations set forth in the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

SECTION 14. EXPENSES AND INDEMNITIES.

          Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay: (a) the cost of producing and reproducing this Agreement and other instruments mentioned herein; (b) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent and its counsel (as well as any outside counsel for the Lenders) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and closing of this Agreement and other instruments mentioned herein, each funding hereunder, and all amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto, thereto, hereunder or thereunder, and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) incurred by the Agent and by each Lender in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Notes against the Borrower and/or the Parent Guarantor or the administration thereof after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and (ii) in connection with any workout, amendment, modification, approval, consent or waiver requested by the Borrower or Parent Guarantor, litigation, proceeding or dispute (other than one between two or more Lenders and other than one in which the Borrower commences proceedings against the Lenders or any Lender and prevails therein), whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to the Agent's or any Lender's relationship with the Borrower hereunder. The amount of all such expenses shall, if not paid within 30 days of receipt of invoice, until paid, bear interest at the rate applicable to principal hereunder (including any Default Rate) and be an obligation secured by any collateral. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay the costs of any field audit examinations that the Agent or any Lender may conduct in its discretion; provided, however, that the Agent, each Lender and their duly authorized representatives, attorneys and accountants shall use reasonable commercial efforts to share information with one another and otherwise cooperate with on another to limit the number of audits per annum and minimize the expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with any audits or inspections hereunder. The Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all damages, losses, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities, claims, actions or causes of action, and reasonable costs and expenses incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by an Indemnified Party by reason of or resulting from any litigation, proceeding or dispute commenced or threatened against the Agent, or any Lender arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby unless such damages, losses, settlement payments, obligations or liabilities were caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. In any investigation, proceeding or litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to select its own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The covenants of this Section 14 shall survive payment or satisfaction of payment of amounts owing with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 15. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC.

          All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any certificates or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor, pursuant hereto shall survive the making by each Lender of Credit Loans, as herein contemplated and shall continue in full force and effect so long as amount due under this Agreement or the Notes remains outstanding and unpaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the indemnification agreements of the Borrower set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement shall survive the payment of amounts due under this Agreement or the Notes. All statements of fact relating to the Borrower contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to the Agent or to any Lender at any time after the date hereof by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 16. PARTIES IN INTEREST; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

                 (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, and the Servicer, or the Lenders and the Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

                 (b) Any Lender may (i) assign to (A) in the case of a Conduit Lender, its Credit Support Party so long as such Credit Support Party is not a Competitor or a Prohibited Institution, or (B) one or more Affiliates of the Lender all or a portion, or (ii) assign to one or more other assignees that is neither a Competitor or a Prohibited Institution (each, an "Assignee") all or a portion (not less than $15,000,000 original principal amount, or if less than $15,000,000, such Lender's entire Credit Loan), in each case, of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all or a portion of such Lender's Credit Loan(s), at the time made by or owing to it, provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment by a Conduit Lender to its Credit Support Party, the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an instrument of assignment and acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit I (an Assignment and Acceptance); (ii) such assignment shall not result in the incurrence of increased costs, expenses or taxes that are otherwise reimbursable by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; and (iii) after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender shall retain (if it retains any portion) a minimum of $15,000,000 original principal amount of its interests, rights, and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon acceptance and recording in the Register pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 16, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance: (i) the Assignee (if not already a Lender hereunder) shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the same rights and obligations as a Lender under this Agreement, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" thereafter shall include such Assignee, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall be released from any future obligations under this Agreement with respect to the interest assigned, provided that in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of a Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of the indemnification provisions of Sections 2 and 14 hereof, as well as to any fees or amounts accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid and shall continue to be responsible for obligations and liabilities incurred prior to such assignment. The Borrower shall upon request of the Assignee and delivery of the assigning Lender's Note execute new Notes in appropriate denominations and class to evidence the Credit Loans after an assignment and shall deliver such new Notes to the Assignee and the assigning Lender (to the extent it retains any portion of the Credit Loans) in exchange for the return of the Notes that previously evidenced such Credit Loans.

                 (c) [Section intentionally omitted]

                 (d) The Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Assignees, and the principal amount of the Credit Loans owing to each Assignee from time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower, each Lender, and any Assignees may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as an Assignee for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, the Lenders, and any Assignee, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice.

                 (e) If, pursuant to this Section 16, any interest in this Agreement is assigned to any Assignee that is not incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, such Assignee shall agree that, if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent: (i) two valid, duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Assignee is entitled to receive payments made under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) a valid, duly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Assignee which delivers to the Agent a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two copies of the Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or otherwise is required to be resubmitted as a condition to obtaining an exemption from withholding tax or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Agent, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such Assignee is entitled to receive payments made under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless any change in treaty, law or regulation or official interpretation thereof has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Assignee from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such Assignee advises the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

                 (f) Each Lender may sell to one or more Persons, so long as such Person is not a Competitor or a Prohibited Institution (each, a Participant) a participation of such Lender's interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of the Credit Loan(s)), provided that: (i) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) such Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the indemnification and cost protection provisions in Section 2 and, if the Borrower shall have been notified by the Participant that it is a Participant, the right to set off contained in Section 11; and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such selling Lender in connection with its rights and obligations under this Agreement. All amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation. At any time or from time to time, upon written request to a Lender by the Borrower, such Lender shall provide the Borrower a written statement of whether it has sold any participation in its interests, rights and obligations hereunder and, if so, the amount of such participation sold and the identity of the purchaser or purchasers.

                 (g) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, no participation or assignment shall, without the consent of the Borrower, require the Borrower to (i) register or qualify the Credit Loans, the Notes or any assignments thereof or participation therein under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Blue Sky law of any state or (ii) indemnify any Assignee or Participant against (or protect, defend or keep any such Person harmless from) any indemnification or cost protection claim pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.16, 2.17 or 14 in excess of the amount that would have been payable by the Borrower had the assignment or participation, as the case may be, not occurred.

                 (h) The Borrower shall not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any purported assignment, transfer or delegation in violation of the prior sentence shall be null and void.

                 (i) Any Lender, Assignee or Participant may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank.

                 (j) No Lender may assign, or sell a participation interest in, any of its rights under this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document to the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or to any Prohibited Institution.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no limitation is imposed with respect to disclosure of the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 25. CERTAIN SPECIAL PROVISIONS.

          In the ease of any Lender which is a commercial paper conduit and executes this Agreement in such capacity (each, a "Conduit Lender"), the following special provisions shall apply:

           (A) No claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related document, agreement or understanding (collectively, the "Operative Documents") or any of the matters contemplated by any thereof shall be had against the Conduit Lender, nor shall the Conduit Lender have any liability or obligation under any Operative Document or any of the matters contemplated by any thereof or in respect of any thereof, except solely to the extent of Excess Funds, and to the extent not paid from Excess Funds and any obligation of Conduit Lender shall be deemed no longer outstanding. "Excess Funds" shall mean all available funds of the Conduit Lender which are in excess of such portion of those funds as are needed to pay and discharge in full at maturity all of its debts, duties, liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, all commercial paper, due or to become due within 368 days from the date of the latest maturing commercial paper issued or to be issued by it. In determining the liability of Conduit Lender in respect of any obligation ("Subject Obligation") other than the face value of the Commercial Paper, Conduit Lender is expressly agreed to have no liability of any kind with respect to any such obligation (and any such obligation shall constitute a "claim" for purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code and any analogous law, domestic or foreign as now or hereafter in effect) except solely to the extent that the Conduit Lender has Excess Funds which pursuant to its program collateral agreement are available to satisfy such obligations.

           (B) Each party hereto further irrevocably agrees that it will not initiate against a Conduit Lender, or join with others in initiating against a Conduit Lender, any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or analogous proceeding under any law, domestic or foreign as now or hereafter in effect until the 368th day following the payment in full at the maturity thereof of all Commercial Paper issued or to be issued by Conduit Lender and of all its other debts, duties, liabilities and obligations.

           (C) No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any obligation of, or claim against, the Conduit Lender arising out of or based upon any Operative Document against X X Management Corporation or against any stockholder, employee, officer, director or incorporator of the Conduit Lender or X X Management Corporation; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person or entity from any liability they might otherwise have arising from his, her or its willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation.

           (D) Except as set forth in Section 16(b), 16(f) or 16(g) hereof, no provision hereof or of any other Operative Document shall restrict in any way the ability of the Conduit Lender to transfer its Loans to any Credit Support Party. "Credit Support Party" means any Person providing pursuant to any liquidity, asset purchase or other contractual obligation (each, a "Credit Support Agreement") liquidity, credit or cash collateral support in respect of the commercial paper issued by the Conduit Lender to fund its Loans.

           (E) Any action which may be taken by, or notice given by or to, such Conduit Lender under any of the Operative Documents shall be sufficient and effective if taken by, or given by or to, the managing agent (the "Managing Agent") in respect of such Conduit Lender executing this Agreement as such.

SECTION 26. DOLLAR DENOMINATED TRANSACTION.

          The parties hereto (A) acknowledge that the matters contemplated by this Agreement are part of an international financing transaction and (B) hereby agree that (i) specification and payment of Dollars is of the essence, (ii) Dollars shall be the currency of account in the case of all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, (iii) the payment obligations of the parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be discharged by an amount paid in a currency or in a place other than that specified with respect to such obligations, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, except to the extent actually received by the Person entitled thereto and converted into Dollars by such Person (it being understood and agreed that, if any transaction party shall so receive an amount in a currency other than Dollars, it shall (A) if it is not the Person entitled to receive payment, promptly return the same (in the currency in which received) to the Person from whom it was received or (B) if it is the Person entitled to receive payment, either, in its sole discretion, (x) promptly return the same (in the currency in which received) to the Person from whom it was received or (y) subject to reasonable commercial practices, promptly cause the conversion of the same into Dollars), (iv) to the extent that the amount so paid on prompt conversion to Dollars under normal commercial practices does not yield the requisite amount of Dollars, the obligee of such payment shall have a separate cause of action against the party obligated to make the relevant payment for the additional amount necessary to yield the amount due and owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (v) if, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court with respect to any obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it shall be necessary to convert to any other currency any amount in Dollars due thereunder and a change shall occur between the rate of exchange applied in making such conversion and the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment of such judgment, the obligor in respect of such obligation will pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to insure that the amount paid on the date of payment is the amount in such other currency which, when converted into Dollars and transferred to New York City, New York, in accordance with normal banking procedures, will result in realization of the amount then due in Dollars and (vi) any amount due under this paragraph shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by or merged into any judgment being obtained for any other sum due under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 27. NO NOVATION.

           NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT ARE HEREBY AMENDED AND SUPERCEDED BY THIS AGREEMENT AS OF THE THIRD RESTATEMENT DATE, NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO CAUSE A NOVATION OR DISCHARGE OF ANY EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS OF THE BORROWER UNDER ANY SUCH DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE SECURITY INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL CREATED THEREBY.

SECTION 28. LIMITATION ON DAMAGES.

          The parties hereto agree that in the event of any legal or arbitral action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, the Commitments, the Collateral, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Credit Loan, the relationship of the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, the Agent, and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, the prevailing party or parties shall not be entitled to an award of incidental, consequential or punitive damages; provided, however, that in no event shall attorneys' fees and expenses be considered incidental, consequential or punitive damages for purposes of this Section 28.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duty authorized officers as of the day and year first written above.
