B. CCC is the general partner of Seller.

C. The Containers are under lease by one or more third party container lessees under equipment leases arranged on behalf of Seller by CCC or one of its affiliates.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties herein contained, Seller, CCC, and Buyer agree as follows:

“Containers” refers to each of the cargo containers described on Exhibit A hereto, together with any and all appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories and other equipment and components of whatever nature which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to any thereof and which become the property of the owner thereof under any applicable agreement or law.

“Effective Date” refers to July 1, 2008.

“Net Revenues” refers to the revenues payable to the owner of the Containers periodically in arrears based upon the utilization of such Containers, net of expenses of operation and management fees allocated to such Containers, all such revenues and expenses to be determined on an accrual basis and not a cash basis of accounting.

“Prior Management Agreements” refers to any and all lease or management agreements between Seller and CCC, CCL, or any affiliated person relating to the utilization of the Containers.

2. Sale and Purchase of the Containers

On the Closing Date, for the consideration provided in Section 3 and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) Seller shall sell to Buyer the Containers, and shall assign, transfer and convey to Buyer all of its right, title and interest relating thereto from and after the Closing Date; and (ii) Buyer shall purchase the Containers from Seller. Effective as of Closing, the Prior Management Agreements shall cease to be applicable as to future periods to the Containers acquired by Buyer, and Buyer shall neither assume nor have any liability under the Prior Management Agreements.

3. Consideration for the Sale; Adjustments to Purchase Price; Revenue Allocations

3.01 Consideration. In consideration for the sale of the Containers as contemplated in Section 2, Buyer,

(a) delivered to Seller on June 24, 2008, a non-refundable sum of $10,000 (the “Deposit”); and

(b) shall, at the Closing, deliver to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds the sum of $4,254,728 (together with the Deposit, the “Purchase Price”).

3.02 Purchase Price Adjustment. If the number of Containers sold by Seller to Buyer is less than the number of Containers listed on Exhibit A hereto, then and in such event Seller (or, if Seller is no longer in existence, CCC) shall refund the amount of any overpayment of the Purchase Price to Buyer within five (5) business days after CCC or CCL becomes aware of the shortfall. Upon the return of any overpayment as called for herein, Seller or CCC, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all casualty payments and sale proceeds attributable to any casualty loss or sale of a Container reported as part of a shortfall hereunder.

3.03 Allocation of Revenues.

(a) The parties acknowledge that all Net Revenues accrued for all periods prior to the Effective Date shall be for the account of and belong to Seller and that all Net Revenues accrued for all periods commencing on and after the Effective Date shall be for the account of and belong to Buyer.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.03, (i) if Seller shall at any time receive any distribution, payment or other amount in respect of a Container acquired by Buyer which has become, or which may become, due and payable with respect to any period of time commencing on or after the Effective Date, or which may arise from any act, event or circumstance which occurred after that date, then Seller agrees to hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Buyer and promptly to deliver said amount to Buyer at Closing, if received for periods after the Effective Date and on or before the Closing, or promptly after receipt if received by Seller for periods prior to the Effective Date after the Closing; and (ii) if Buyer shall receive any distribution, payment or other amount which was due and payable with respect to any period of time prior to the Effective Date, then Buyer agrees to hold such amount in trust for the benefit of Seller and promptly to deliver said amount to Seller. If CCL determines in its final reconciliation for periods ended on or prior to June 30, 2008, that Seller has received pursuant to the Prior Management Agreements an excess distribution or otherwise owes CCL any amount for such periods (any such excess or debt being referred to as a “Deficiency”), and CCL asserts against or attempts to collect from Buyer any such Deficiency, through offset or otherwise, then Seller or if, at such time, Seller has dissolved or liquidated, CCC shall, upon demand by Buyer, pay such Deficiency to CCL or reimburse Buyer if and to the extent such Deficiency is paid by or assessed against Buyer.

4. Closing

The Closing shall take place on July 1, 2008, or at such other date as Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree. Immediately upon the Closing, Seller shall be deemed to have delivered the Containers to Buyer and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Containers from Seller without any further action on the part of Buyer or Seller.

5. Representations and Warranties of Seller

Each of CCC and Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

5.01 Existence, Power and Authority. Seller is a limited partnership, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of California, and has all requisite partnership authority to enter into this Agreement and the Xxxx of Sale, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and CCC is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of California, and, as Seller’s general partner, has the full right, power, and authority to bind Seller to this Agreement by the execution hereof on Seller’s behalf.

5.02 Authorization. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Xxxx of Sale by Seller, and the performance by Seller hereunder and thereunder, have been duly authorized by all requisite partnership or corporate action and proceedings of Seller and CCC, and in accordance with applicable provisions of their organizational documents or applicable law. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller, and this Agreement is, and the Xxxx of Sale when executed and delivered will be, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws from time to time in effect which affect creditors’ rights generally.

5.03 No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Xxxx of Sale by Seller, nor the performance by it hereunder or thereunder, will (i) violate, conflict with or constitute a default under any provision of its limited partnership agreement or other applicable charter document, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any indenture or other agreement to which Seller is a party or by which it or its properties are bound, (iii) violate any judgment, order, injunction, decree or award of any court, administrative agency or governmental body against, or binding upon, it or its properties, or (iv) constitute a violation by Seller of any law or regulation applicable to it or its properties, except in any case where such violation would not have a material adverse affect on the financial condition of Seller or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.04 Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Xxxx of Sale do not require (i) any approval or notice to or consent of any person, or of any holder of any indebtedness or obligation of Seller, or (ii) any notice to or filing or recording with, or any consent or approval of, any governmental body.

5.05 Legal Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or, to the knowledge of Seller or CCC, threatened, against Seller before any court, arbitrator, administrative or governmental body that, if adversely determined, would hinder or prevent Seller’s ability to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Xxxx of Sale or affect the right, title or interest of Seller in the Containers.

5.06 Prior Management Agreements. Effective as of the Closing Date, there shall be no Prior Management Agreements and no other agreements, letters, certificates or other documents of any kind, relating to the Containers which will be binding on Buyer or which will create a lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance in or on the Containers or any part thereof after the Closing, other than (i) the container management agreement between Buyer and CAY referred to in Section 8.03(b), and (ii) the leases of the Containers to third party lessees. To Seller’s knowledge, there are no set-offs, defenses or counterclaims available against amounts owed to Seller in respect of the operation of the Containers prior to the Effective Date.

5.07 Title. Seller is the lawful and rightful sole owner of the Containers and has good right and title to sell the same to Buyer. Seller holds, and on the Closing Date will hold, title to its Containers free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests, or other encumbrances other than (i) any container management agreement between Buyer and CAY, and (ii) the use and possessory interests of third party lessees of the Containers in the ordinary course of business. Seller has not previously assigned any right, title or interest of Seller in the Containers to be conveyed to Buyer pursuant hereto.

5.08 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The sale of the Containers by Seller will not violate any provision of any applicable laws, orders or regulations.

Seller has not directly or indirectly received any prepayment or distribution of Net Revenues or other distributions (including casualty payments) for any period on or after the Effective Date. As of the Closing Date, Seller will have paid or satisfied all prior operating deficit balances relating to allocated expenses in excess of allocated revenues for periods prior to the Effective Date, and, as of the Closing Date, there shall be no accrued deficits which will offset the Net Revenues allocable to Buyer hereunder.

5.10 Remarketing Arrangements; Bargain-Purchase Options. The Containers are not subject to any remarketing, residual sharing or similar agreement which would be binding upon or enforceable against Buyer or, following the sale of such Containers to Buyer hereunder, against the Containers or against the proceeds of any sale, leasing or other disposition of the Containers. Other than as disclosed in Exhibit A hereto, no lessee of the Containers has an option to purchase the Containers.

5.11 Notices. Seller will immediately provide to Buyer any notice received from CCL, including, without limitation, notice that any of the Containers has sustained an event of loss, and any notice received from CCL or any other party delivered under any Prior Management Agreement.

17. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California. Should any dispute or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement arise between the parties that the parties are incapable of resolving themselves through good faith negotiation, then such dispute or controversy shall be submitted for resolution by JAMS in San Francisco, California, or at such other location as is agreed upon by the parties. Any dispute shall first be submitted to JAMS for mediation pursuant to the mediation services provided by JAMS. Should the dispute between the parties not be successfully mediated by JAMS within sixty (60) days of its submission (subject to any extension agreed to by the parties) then and in such event the dispute shall be submitted for binding arbitration by JAMS pursuant to the rules and practices of JAMS. Unless agreed to by the parties, the representative of JAMS who attempts to mediate any dispute between the parties shall not be the representative of JAMS who arbitrates the dispute. Judgment upon any award by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in the superior court in and for the County of San Francisco or the federal district for the Northern District of California. It is agreed that the prevailing party in any such arbitration or other action arising from or relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to reimbursement of its or his reasonable costs and expenses, including its attorneys’ fees. Each party consents to the exercise over it or him of personal jurisdiction by the arbitrator(s) selected by JAMS to resolve any dispute hereunder, and by the superior court in and for the County of San Francisco and the federal district court for the Northern District of California.

18. Binding Effect; Assignment

No party shall assign this Agreement to any other person without the prior written consent of all other parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights hereunder shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder. This Agreement, the Xxxx of Sale, and the certificates, schedules, annexes and other documents executed and delivered at or before the Closing in connection herewith are the complete agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior understandings (written or oral), communications and agreements.

19. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed by the parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

20. Severability

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be effective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the remainder of such provision and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted, to the maximum extent possible, so as to conform to the original intent of this Agreement.

21. Indemnities

(a) Buyer will indemnify and hold Seller and CCC harmless from any liability, loss, cost or expense (“Claim”), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which shall result from (i) the incorrectness of any representation or breach of any warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto; or (ii) a breach by Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon payment of such indemnity, Buyer shall be subrogated to the indemnitee’s rights against any third parties respecting the Claims. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify Seller if and to the extent Seller is indemnified and fully compensated for its Claim by a third party.

(b) CCC and Seller jointly and severally will indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any Claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which shall result from (i) the incorrectness of any representation or breach of any warranty of CCC or Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered by CCC or Seller pursuant hereto; (ii) a breach by CCC or Seller of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered by CCC or Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) any Claim or legal proceedings with respect to any Containers (or any part thereof) arising or relating to any period prior to and including the Closing Date, including Claims of limited partners in Seller or other third parties based upon or arising out of Seller’s ownership, management, disposition or sale of the Containers. Upon payment of such indemnity, CCC or Seller, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to Buyer’s rights against any third parties respecting the Claims.

(c) A party seeking indemnification pursuant to Sections 21(a) or (b) above (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice to the party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any Claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder and will give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request; but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby). The Indemnifying Party may, at its expense, participate in or assume the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding involving a third party; provided, however, that such defense is conducted with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall consult with each other regarding the conduct of such defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof, and to employ counsel, at its or his own expense (except that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel to the extent the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party), separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Claim involving a third party, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend at such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Sections 21(a) or 21(b) for any settlement effected without its written consent (as contemplated above) for any Claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder. No Claim for indemnification, except Claims based on (i) a breach of the representations contained in Section 5.07 hereof or (ii) the assessment of taxes, interest or penalties contemplated in Section 7.02 hereof, may be first initiated or asserted by any Indemnified Party against any Indemnifying Party (including CCC) after the first anniversary of the Closing Date; notwithstanding the foregoing, no Claim for indemnification may be initiated or asserted against Seller after the Closing Date.

(d) Each of the parties (i) acknowledges that under the Prior Management Agreements the owner of the Containers may be indemnified and insured for various liabilities, casualties and losses, and (ii) agrees that (as between Seller and Buyer) each party hereto shall be entitled to enforce and collect such indemnities and insurance directly from the indemnitor or insurer to the extent arising from a loss suffered by such party because of its interest, or prior interest, as owner of the Containers.
