9.5 Books, Records and Inspections

. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and complete entries in conformity with IFRS or GAAP and all requirements of Applicable Laws shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit officers and designated representatives and/or agents of the Purchaser to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company or such Subsidiaries, to examine the books of account of the Company or such Subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or such Subsidiaries with, and be advised as to the same by, its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and intervals and to such reasonable extent as the Purchaser may then request. The Purchaser shall have the right to attend and receive materials provided as part of Board meetings of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries in which the results, prospects and strategy of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are discussed. Unless there is an Event of Default (as defined below) the Purchaser may elect to have the Company reimburse one representative of the Purchaser for the reasonable costs (coach airfare) of attending one Board meeting that is being held in Australia in any 12 month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to be present at any discussions, or receive Board package or other materials that involve matters between GFN or any of its Subsidiaries and the Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or to participate in discussions involving third party claims (or potential third party claims) against GFN or any of its Subsidiaries at which legal counsel for GFN or any of its Subsidiaries is present and the attendance by the Purchaser would, in the opinion of legal counsel, cause GFN or any of its Subsidiaries to lose attorney-client privilege with respect to such discussions.

9.6 Insurance

. GFN (US) and the Company shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers policies of insurance, coverage amounts and related terms and conditions for GFN (US), the Company and its Subsidiaries normally maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar business as GFN (US) and its Subsidiaries.

All insurance covering liability shall name the Purchaser as additional insureds, and all insurance proceeds covering property subject to a Lien in favor of the Purchaser shall, with respect to any casualty or loss, be used to repair or replace such property, or, if not so applied, shall be paid to the Purchaser. Each of the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section 9.6 shall provide for at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser of the cancellation or substantial modification thereof.

9.7 Taxes

9.8 Communication with Accountants

. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Purchaser shall not communicate directly with the Company's independent certified public accountants about GFN or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of GFN, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, GFN hereby authorizes its independent certified public accountants to (a) furnish to the Purchaser any and all financial statements and other supporting financial documents, work papers and schedules as the Purchaser may request and (b) discuss with the Purchaser, as often as the Purchaser may reasonably request, the accounts, financial condition, business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, without the consent of any member of the Company Group.

9.9 ERISA

. In the event that any GFN (US) Entity becomes subject to ERISA, such GFN (US) Entity shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Purchaser, and, to the extent that a GFN (US) Entity is subject to ERISA, such GFN (US) Entity shall comply with all applicable provisions thereof.

9.10 Exchange Act Compliance

. GFN shall timely file with the SEC and Nasdaq (or other applicable securities exchange) all documents required to be filed under the Exchange Act. Each document to be filed will comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the rules of such securities exchange, as applicable. The financial statements of GFN included in each document to be filed by GFN with the SEC will comply in all material respects as to form, as of the date of its filing with the SEC, with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, will be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by the SEC) and will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of GFN and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments consistent with past practices and consistently applied).

9.11 Additional Guarantors and Pledgors

. The Company Group shall take all such action, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to take all such action, from time to time as shall be necessary to ensure that all Subsidiaries of GFN (US) (other than Royal Wolf Holdings and its Subsidiaries) are Guarantors under the Guaranty and, as applicable, Pledgors under the Pledge Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, subject to Section 10.5 and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, GFN (US) or any of its Subsidiaries forms or acquires any new Subsidiary after the date hereof (and such Subsidiary is not a Subsidiary of Royal Wolf Holdings), the Company Group shall provide written notice of such formation or acquisition to the Purchaser, and GFN (US) or such Subsidiary will cause such new Subsidiary to execute and deliver: (a) a joinder to the Guaranty and/or the Pledge Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser, pursuant to which such Subsidiary would become a Guarantor and a Pledgor, (b) (if such Subsidiary has any Subsidiaries) stock pledge agreements, together with (i) certificates representing all of the Capital Stock of any Person owned by such Subsidiary, (ii) undated stock transfer forms executed in blank and (iii) such opinions of counsel and such approving certificates of such Subsidiary as the Purchaser may request in respect of complying with any legend on any such certificate or any other matter relating to such shares, and (c) such other agreements, instruments, approvals or other documents as may be requested by the Purchaser in order to create, perfect, establish, and maintain (as applicable) the first priority of any Lien in favor of the Purchaser to effect the intent that such Subsidiary shall become bound by all of the terms, covenants and agreements contained in the Related Agreements to which Guarantors and Pledgors are parties. In addition, GFN (US) or such Subsidiary shall grant to the Purchaser a valid security interest in the Capital Stock of such new Subsidiary to secure the Obligations to the Purchaser. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Subsidiaries of GFN that are not direct or indirect Subsidiaries of GFN (US) shall not be Guarantors.

9.12 Consents, Waivers and Amendments

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any request by any member of the Company Group for the Purchaser to provide a Consent or approve an amendment with respect to this Agreement or the Related Agreements, such request shall contain information that, at the time the information is so furnished, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact, is complete and correct in all material respects to the extent necessary to give the Purchaser sufficient and accurate knowledge of the subject matter thereof, and does not omit to state a material fact known to the Company Group necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such information is furnished.

9.13 Intercreditor Agreements

. Prior to incurring any Subordinated Indebtedness, GFN (US) and its Subsidiaries shall first obtain the approval of Purchaser (which may be withheld in its sole discretion) and shall if such approval is received cause the applicable Subordinated Lender to enter into an Intercreditor Agreement with the Purchaser.

9.14 Additional Tax Matters

(a) the Notes shall be treated consistently by the parties as debt for United States federal income Tax purposes; and

(b) all payments made with respect to the Notes shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax (including without limitation any Australian interest withholding Tax).

9.15 U.S.A. Patriot Act Information

. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law may require the Purchaser to obtain, verify and record certain information. Each member of the Company Group agrees to provide all such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by the Purchaser to ensure compliance with federal law.

9.16 Further Assurances

. From time to time after the date hereof, each member of the Company Group will execute and deliver, and will cause any of their respective Subsidiaries and any other Persons to execute and deliver, such additional instruments, certificates and documents, and will take all such actions, as the Purchaser may reasonably request for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of this Agreement, the Securities or any other Related Agreement or to establish, maintain, perfect or continue (as applicable) the Purchaser's security interests in the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, GFN (US) and its Subsidiaries will provide within 10 Business Days following the Closing Date a true and complete statutory declaration (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser) setting forth the location of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Each member of the Company Group will, and will cause each other member of the Company Group to, utilize its best efforts to satisfy the conditions to closing contained in Section 7 of this Agreement.

9.17 Notification of Certain Matters

. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the Company will give prompt notice to Purchaser of (i) the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any fact or event, the occurrence or nonoccurrence of which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) the discovery or receipt of information or knowledge concerning any fact or circumstance which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) any failure of any member of the Company Group to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder, (iv) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements, (v) any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect on any member of the Company Group, (vi) any representation or warranty of any member of the Company Group in this Agreement being untrue or inaccurate as of the date first written above, and (vii) any notice or communication to, or notice or communication from, ANZ, Credit Suisse, or CBA in each case relating to any of the ANZ Credit Documents, Credit Suisse Credit Documents, or CBA Credit Documents (and the full content of such notices or communications shall be included in such notice to Purchaser hereunder). The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 9.17 will not cure such breach or non-compliance or limit or otherwise affect the rights, obligations or remedies available to Purchaser hereunder. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the Company will promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened action, proceeding or investigation by any Governmental Authority or any other Person (A) challenging or seeking damages in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement, or (B) seeking to restrain or prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Related Agreements.

GFN shall promptly take any and all actions necessary to comply with the obligations in this Section 9.18. Purchaser agrees that during the period that a representative of Purchaser has rights to attend meetings of the GFN Board as an observer, Purchaser shall be subject to and shall comply with the GFN Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Disclosure Policy, including, without limitation, all trading windows and black out periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representative of Purchaser acting as a Board observer shall not be entitled to be present at any meeting or discussion, or receive board package or other materials that involve matters between GFN and the Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or to participate in discussions involving third party claims (or potential third party claims) against the GFN or its Subsidiaries at which legal counsel for GFN or any of its Subsidiaries is present and the attendance by the Purchaser would, in the opinion of legal counsel, cause GFN or any of its Subsidiaries to lose the attorney-client privilege with respect to such discussions.

9.19 PPS Act Undertakings

. Without limiting the operation of each Additional Australian Agreement and each CHESS Agreement, each member of the Company Group agrees, as notified by the Purchaser (or any of its nominees) from time to time, to promptly take all actions to implement, maintain and comply in all material respects with, procedures for the perfection of Purchaser’s security interests under the Related Agreements (under the PPS Act or otherwise). These procedures may include procedures designed to ensure that the Purchaser (or any of its nominees) have a continuously perfected security interest in respect of the property of each member of the Company Group including taking all steps necessary: (a) to obtain, the highest ranking priority possible in respect of the security interest (such as perfecting a purchase money security interest or perfecting a security interest by control); and (b) to reduce as far as possible the risk of a third party acquiring an interest free of the security interest (such as including the serial number in a financing statement for personal property that may or must be described by a serial number). Everything each member of the Company Group is required to do in connection with this Section 9.19 is at the Company’s expense. The Company agrees to pay or reimburse the costs and expenses of the Purchaser in connection with anything the Purchaser (or any of its nominees) is required to do under, or in connection with, this Section 9.19.

9.20 Minimum Return on Convertible Notes

. In the event that Purchaser shall not have realized a minimum return on investment of 1.75x (the “Minimum Return”) through the payment of the principal, interest and all other amounts paid under the Convertible Notes and the value of the Common Stock upon Purchaser’s sale of the Common Stock, GFN or its Subsidiaries shall deliver additional cash so that Purchaser receives the Minimum Return all in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Convertible Note.

9.21 Delivery of Stock Certificates and Stock Transfer Forms

. On the 100% Acquisition State Date, Holdings must deliver to Purchaser stock certificates evidencing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares (together with undated stock transfer forms executed in blank) of Royal Wolf Holdings. If for any reason the 100% Acquisition State has not been met by the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date (such failure, the “100% Acquisition State Failure”), then the interest accruing and owed under the Notes shall increase as provided therein.

9.22 Compulsory Bid and Other Requirements.

. Following the Closing Date and by no later than either (i) 90 days after the Closing Date or (ii) a reasonable period of time after the Closing Date if a holder of relevant Capital Stock in Royal Wolf Holdings applies to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order that the securities not be compulsorily acquired in accordance with Section 661E of the Corporations Act, each member of the Company Group must ensure that the Company acquires all of the remaining Capital Stock in Royal Wolf Holdings in which the Company does not hold a Relevant Interest on the Closing Date, such that the 100% Acquisition State is satisfied. By no later than immediately after the Closing the Company must, to the extent necessary to meet the 100% Acquisition State, lodge a compulsory acquisition notice pursuant to Section 661B of the Corporations Act (and by undertaking all other required actions pursuant to Chapter 6A of the Corporations Act) to effect such compulsory acquisition. On the 100% Acquisition State Date, the Company must provide to the Purchaser written confirmation of same, including such information or evidence as the Purchaser may reasonably require in relation to same. Immediately after the shares of Royal Wolf Holdings are no longer quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange, Holdings must cause Royal Wolf Holdings to issue and deliver to Purchaser a stock certificate evidencing all of the Capital Stock of Royal Wolf Holdings (together with an undated stock transfer form executed in blank) and any other documents reasonably required by the Purchaser to ensure that the Purchaser has control over all of the Capital Stock of Royal Wolf Holdings.

9.23 Changes to Deutsche Bank Commitment Letter. From and after the date hereof through the Closing, without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, there shall be no (a) change, modification, amendment or waiver to (or breach or default under) (i) the Deutsche Bank Commitment Letter and the attachments thereto attached as Exhibit N, and (ii) if such documents are executed and delivered prior to the Closing, the Syndicated Facility Agreement also attached as Exhibit O and the other Deutsche Bank Credit Documents; and (b) material reduction in the aggregate of the amounts proposed to be made available (as measured in Australian dollars) under the Deutsche Bank Credit Documents and from the sources set forth on Schedule 2.3.

The Company shall ensure that all loans and advances (other than Expense Advances) made by the Company, whether made prior to, on or after the date hereof, are evidenced by a promissory note or other written instrument or agreement (copies of which shall be provided to the Purchaser) which provides for the repayment in full in cash of such loans and advances.

10.15 Financial Covenants

.

(a) Maximum Capital Expenditures. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not incur Capital Expenditures (other than for containers and related property to be leased or sold in the ordinary course of business) during any fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, in excess of $12,500,000 (the "Capex Cap") in the aggregate, provided, however, that to the extent that Capital Expenditures actually incurred in a fiscal year are less than $12,500,000 (the amount of such deficiency, a "Capital Expenditure Deficiency"), then up to $10,000,000 per fiscal year of such Capital Expenditure Deficiency (the "Capex Roll Amount") may be incurred in any following fiscal year in addition to up to the CapEx Cap applicable to such fiscal year. For avoidance of doubt, Capital Expenditures do not include acquisitions of businesses or companies, regardless of whether the acquisition of stock or assets, and are net of proceeds from the sale of fleet assets. For example purposes only, if the Company and its Subsidiaries incur $1,500,000 in Capital Expenditures during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016, then the maximum Capital Expenditures for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017 would be $22,500,000 (which is the $12,500,000 cap for such year, plus $10,000,000 (which is the difference between $12,500,000 and the $1,500,000 which equals $11,000,000, but which is lowered to $10,000,000 as the maximum that may be rolled forward from the prior fiscal year)).

(b) Maximum Indebtedness. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not allow Indebtedness to exceed the lesser of AU$150,000,000 or the amount permitted under the Deutsche Bank Credit Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of GFN (US) and Finance may not create, incur, assume, or become or remain liable in respect of any Indebtedness.

(c) Minimum EBITDA. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not allow EBITDA (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP or IFRS, as applicable), based on the last twelve months results, measured at each calendar quarter, to be less than AU$30,000,000.

(d) Leverage Ratio. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not permit their leverage ratios to exceed 7.5x (defined as total Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness to GFN or any the Company Entity; provided, that with respect to Indebtedness to GFN or any GFN (US) Entity, such Indebtedness shall be subject to an Intercreditor Agreement and interest shall not have been paid during the calculation period unless the Purchaser has consented in writing to the payment of such interest) to last twelve months of EBITDA) (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP or IFRS, as applicable), based on the last twelve months' results, measured at each calendar quarter.

(e) EBITDA Adjustment. In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes an acquisition of a business or company as permitted hereunder, then in determining compliance with the financial covenants herein, (i) the EBITDA of the acquired business or company (which would become a Guarantor if it is a separate legal entity) shall be added the EBITDA of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) the Indebtedness of the acquired business or company shall be added the Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (iii) the minimum EBITDA targets set forth in this Section 10.15 shall be correspondingly adjusted upward for 80% of such incremental EBITDA.

11.

11.2 Losses

.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Company Group (collectively, the "Indemnifying Parties") shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, and its Affiliates, employees, partners, officers, directors, representatives, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns (the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, expenses and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other fees and expenses incurred in, and the costs of preparing for, investigating or defending any matter (collectively, "Losses"), incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with or arising from:

(i) Any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation made by any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Subsidiaries in this Agreement or any Related Agreement;

(ii) The failure of any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Subsidiaries to fulfill any of its covenants, agreements or undertakings under this Agreement or any Related Agreement (or any other document or instrument executed herewith or pursuant hereto);

(iii) Any third party actions, suits, proceedings or claims brought against any Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of or with respect to (A) any other matters arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Related Agreement or the Securities, or (B) the business, operations or affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (including, without limitation, any litigation in which any Company is involved), except to the extent such Losses are attributable to the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnified Parties; and

(iv) subject to (1) Purchaser delivering to Company Group written disclosure of all costs, expenses, fees, penalties, or other amounts that will be paid or incurred in connection with the exercise by Purchaser of its remedies under the DB Side Letter (collectively, the “Buy Out Letter Costs”) and (2) the Company Group’s consenting in writing (with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to Purchaser incurring such Buy Out Letter Costs (regardless of whether Purchaser is able to assume or purchase any debt pursuant thereto) except and to the extent such costs, expenses, fees, penalties, or other amounts are included in the debt actually assumed by Purchaser pursuant to such DB Side Letter, the Buy Out Letter Costs.

(b) The Indemnifying Parties shall either pay directly all Losses which it is required to pay hereunder or reimburse any Indemnified Party within 30 days after any request for such payment. The obligations of the Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Parties under this Section 11 shall be separate obligations to each Indemnified Party, and the liability of the Indemnifying Parties to such Indemnified Parties hereunder shall not be extinguished solely because any Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder.

(c) The obligations of the Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Parties under this Section 11 shall survive (i) the repayment of the Notes (whether at maturity, by prepayment or acceleration or otherwise), (ii) any transfer of the Notes or any interest therein, (iii) the termination of this Agreement or any Related Agreement and (iv) the issuance, exercise, assignment and/or sale of Common Stock (or any interest therein) after conversion of the Convertible Note, if any.

(d) The indemnification rights hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, in equity or otherwise.

11.3 Indemnification Procedures

. Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 11 shall (a) give prompt written notice to the Company of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (b) permit the Company to assume the defense of such claim with counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to such Person; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but not more than one firm for all Indemnified Parties) and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person, unless (i) the Company has agreed to pay such fees or expenses; (ii) the Company has failed to notify such Person in writing within 20 days of its receipt of such written notice of claim that it will assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person; or (iii) in the judgment of any such Person, based upon the written advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the Company with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the Company in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). The Company will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnified Party may, without the consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) of the Company, consent to entry of any judgment for which indemnification has been or may be sought hereunder, or enter into any settlement of any matter for which indemnification may or has been sought hereunder, which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Company of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

11.4 Contribution

. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 is unavailable to the Purchaser or any other Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, then the Company Group, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been taken by, or relates to information supplied by, either the Company Group or such Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

11.5 Costs of Collection

. The Company Group agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any attorneys, accountants and other experts retained by the Holder, which are expended or incurred by the Holder in connection with (a) the enforcement of either Note or the collection of any sums due thereunder following an Event of Default, whether or not suit is commenced; (b) any actions for declaratory relief in any way related to a Note following an Event of Default; (c) the protection or preservation of any rights of the Holder under the Notes; (d) any actions taken by the Holder in negotiating any amendment, waiver, consent or release of or under either of the Note; (e) any actions taken in reviewing the Company's or any of its Affiliates' financial affairs if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, including, without limitation, the following actions: (i) inspect the facilities of the GFN (US) and any of its Subsidiaries or conduct appraisals of the financial condition of the Company and any of its Affiliates; (ii) have an accounting firm chosen by the Holder review the books and records of the Company and any of its Affiliates and perform a thorough and complete examination thereof; (iii) interview the Company's and each of its Affiliates' employees, accountants, customers and any other individuals related to the Company or its Affiliates which the Holder believes may have relevant information concerning the financial condition of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries; and (iv) undertake any other action which is reasonably necessary to assess accurately the financial condition and prospects of the Company and any of its Affiliates; (f) the Holder's participation in any refinancing, restructuring, bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate of the Company; (g) creating, verifying, maintaining or perfecting any security interest or other Lien granted to the Holder in any Collateral; (h) any effort by the Holder to protect, assemble, complete, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, including in connection with any case under Bankruptcy Law; or (i) any refinancing or restructuring of either of the Notes, including, without limitation, any restructuring in the nature of a "work out" or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

No remedy conferred in this Agreement upon the Purchaser is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. Without limiting anything in this Section 12.3, if any Default or Event of Default occurs then in addition, the Purchaser may, by notice to the Company, do any one or more of the following:

(a) Cause the third parties to hold all returned inventory or equipment in trust for the Purchaser, segregate all such returned inventory or equipment and conspicuously label said returned inventory or equipment as the property of the Purchaser;

(b) Without notice to or demand upon any GFN (US) Entity, make such payments and do such acts as the Purchaser consider necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral. Each GFN (US) Entity agrees to assemble the Collateral if the Purchaser so requires, and to make the Collateral available to the Purchaser at a place that the Purchaser may designate which is reasonably convenient to the parties. Each GFN (US) Entity authorizes the Purchaser to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien that in the Purchaser's determination appears to conflict with Purchaser's Liens and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith and to charge the applicable GFN (US) Entity therefor. With respect to any owned or leased premises of GFN (US) or its Subsidiaries, each GFN (US) Entity hereby grants Purchaser a non-exclusive royalty free license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of the Purchaser's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

(c) Without notice to GFN or any of its Subsidiaries (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral in satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the UCC), set off and apply to the Obligations to the Purchaser any and all (i) balances and deposits of any Guarantor held by the Purchaser or its Affiliates; (ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor held by the Purchaser or its Affiliates; and (iii) amounts due or payable from time to time by the Purchaser or its Affiliates to any Guarantor under this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

(d) Hold, as cash collateral, any and all balances and deposits of any Guarantor held by the Purchaser or its Affiliates to secure the full and final repayment of all of the Obligations to the Purchaser;

(e) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein or in any Related Agreement) the Collateral. Each Guarantor hereby grants to the Purchaser a non-exclusive royalty free license or other right to use, without charge, such Person's proprietary rights, labels, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and such Person's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Purchaser's benefit;

(f) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including the premises of each Guarantor) as the Purchaser determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale;

(g) The Purchaser shall give notice of the disposition of the Collateral as follows:

(i) The Purchaser shall give the Company (for the benefit of the Company Group) a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Collateral, the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; and

(ii) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Company as provided in Section 15.6, at least 10 days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the notice; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market;

(h) The Purchaser may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;

(i) The Purchaser may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral or to operate the same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing.

12.4 Waiver of Past Defaults

. The Purchaser may, by written notice to the Company, waive any Default or Event of Default and its consequences with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Related Agreement; provided, however, that no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any rights of the Purchaser which may arise as a result of such Default or Event of Default.

13.

TERMINATION.

13.1 Termination

. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of GFN and Purchaser;

(b) by Purchaser by written notice to GFN if:

(i) No member of the Company Group is then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Section 8 and such breach, inaccuracy or failure, if curable, has not been cured by Purchaser within 10 days of Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of such breach from GFN; or

(ii) any of the conditions in Section 8 will not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by January 20, 2018 (the “GFN Termination Date”) unless such failure will be due to the failure of any member of the Company Group to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by them prior to the Closing; or

(d) by either Purchaser or GFN if the Closing does not occur on or before the GFN Termination Date for any reason other than any member of the Company Group’s breach of this Agreement.

13.2 Effect of Termination

Each party’s right of termination under Section 13.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of such right of termination will not be an election of remedies. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 13.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void except for this Section 13.1, Section 15 and any other provision expressly stated to survive termination and there will be no liability on the part of any party, except that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

14.

CONVERSION RIGHT.

14.1 Right to Convert

. At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, Purchaser shall have the right (the “Conversion Right”) to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as provided in and subject to the terms of the Convertible Note.

14.2 Reservation of Common Shares; Covenant

. GFN shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance or delivery upon conversion of the Convertible Note, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issuable or deliverable upon such conversion.

15.

MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Consent to Amendments; Waivers

. No amendment, supplement or other modification to, or waiver of, any provision of this Agreement or any Related Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Purchaser and any other party hereto adversely affected thereby, and none of the members of the Company Group may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, unless, it has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser to such action or omission. No waiver by the Purchaser of any Default, Event of Default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent Default, Event of Default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No course of dealing between any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and the Purchaser (or any other Holder), on the other hand, nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under the Note or any other Related Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the Purchaser (or any other Holder). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 15.1 and the use of the term “Purchaser” herein shall be interpreted giving effect to the provisions of Section 15.4.

15.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties; Purchaser Investigation

. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each member of the Company Group contained herein, or made in writing by or on behalf of any member of the Company Group pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, the repayment of the Notes, and the due diligence or other investigation of any member of the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries made by and on behalf of the Purchaser. Each member of the Company Group hereby agrees that neither the Purchaser's review of the books and records or condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets, properties, operations or prospects of any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Purchaser, shall be deemed to constitute knowledge by the Purchaser of the existence or absence of any facts or any other matters so as so reduce the Purchaser's right to rely on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the members of the Company Group contained in this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

15.3 Entire Agreement

. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules, the Notes, the other Related Agreements, and the confidentiality agreement dated May 4, 2016 between GFN and Purchaser constitute the full and entire agreement and understanding among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior oral and written, and all contemporaneous oral, agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. To be clear, that certain Commitment Letter dated as of July 11, 2017 between Purchaser, GFN, GFN (US), Royal Wolf Holdings, Holdings, and Finance is hereby terminated and of no further force or effect. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

15.4 Successors and Assigns; Assignments

. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Purchaser may, without the consent of any member of the Company Group, sell, assign or delegate to one or more Persons other than a Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in a business that is competitive with the business of the Company Group as of the time at any time (each an "Assignee") all or any part of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, the Securities or any other Related Agreement, including, without limitation, all or any part of the Obligations to the Purchaser, subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, that, in any privately negotiated transaction involving a sale or assignment by the Purchaser of any such right, title or interest, the Purchaser shall obtain from the Assignee in writing investment intent representations which would be customarily obtained in transactions of such nature; and, provided further, however, that the applicable member of the Company Group may continue to deal solely and directly with the Purchaser in connection with any right, title or interest so assigned until written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to such member. If the Purchaser assigns to any Assignee or Assignees less than fifty percent (50.0%) of its interest in and to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, the Company may continue to deal solely and directly with respect to the Purchaser in connection with the interests so assigned to the Assignee(s), and the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company from any Losses suffered or sustained by the Company in reliance upon direction from the Purchaser with respect to the interests so assigned; provided that no consents, approvals, waivers, demands and decisions that the Purchaser is entitled to make under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Related Agreements, including with respect to the amendment or modification of any of the foregoing, shall be made without the written consent of the Assignee(s). If, at any time, the Purchaser has assigned to any Assignee or Assignees a fifty percent (50.0%) or greater interest in and to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and at such time, there are two or more Holders that are not Affiliates of each other, then all consents, approvals, waivers, demands and decisions that the Purchaser is entitled to make under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Related Agreements shall be made only by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; provided, that if only one Holder constitutes such majority, such consents, approvals, waivers, demands and decisions shall be made by consent of no fewer than two Holders that are not Affiliates of each other. Each Holder of the Notes is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce the rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement (and all Related Agreements) as if it were the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 15.4 with respect to amendments and modifications of this Agreement, the Notes and the Related Agreements, without the consent of the holders of all of the Notes at such time outstanding, no such amendment or waiver shall (A) amend or waive any of the provisions of Section 2, Section 9.1, (B) change or forgive the amount of the principal of, or increase or reduce the rate of interest on or fee payable with respect to, any of the Notes, or change the maturity date of any of the Notes, or subordinate the obligation of the Issuers to pay any amount due on the Notes to any other obligation, (C) change the percentage of holders of Notes required to approve any such amendment, effectuate any such waiver, accelerate payment of the Notes or eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any holder of the Notes, (D) modify any provision of this Agreement relating to the pro rata treatment of payments of the Notes, (E) change of modify any provision of this Section 15.4 or Section 15.1, or (F) release any of the Company Group from its Obligations hereunder as an Issuer or a Guarantor.

15.5 Severability

. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

15.6 Notices

All notices, consents and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be (a) delivered to the appropriate address by hand, by nationally recognized overnight service or by courier service (costs prepaid), (b) sent by facsimile or e-mail, or (c) sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in each case to the following addresses, facsimile numbers or e-mail addresses and marked to the attention of the person (by name or title) designated below (or to such other address, facsimile number, e-mail address or person as a party may designate by notice to the other party):

15.8 Descriptive Headings; Construction and Interpretation

. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All section, preamble, recital, exhibit, schedule, disclosure schedule, annex, clause and party references are to this Agreement unless otherwise stated. No party, nor its counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with their fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party. References to dollars and "$" shall be to United States Dollars, unless otherwise specified. All references herein to the masculine, feminine, neuter, or singular shall be construed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, or plural, where applicable.

15.10 Fees and Expenses

. The Company shall reimburse the Purchaser, up to a maximum of $350,000, for all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, accounting fees and expenses, fees and expenses related to any due diligence investigation and all other deal-related costs and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Securities and the other Related Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the foregoing, all of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Purchaser as a result of the Notes being issued by the Company instead of by a Subsidiary thereof that is an operating entity shall be reimbursed by the Company, regardless of whether the $350,000 cap above has been met or exceeded.

15.11 Governing Law

. In all respects, including matters of construction, validity and performance, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and performed in that state (without regard to the choice of law or conflicts of law provisions thereof).

15.12 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial

.

(a) Subject to Section 15.12(e), each of the parties hereby consents and agrees that all actions, suits or other proceedings arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the Securities or any other Related Agreement shall be tried and litigated in state or federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any and all claims, controversies and disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Securities or any other Related Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 15.12 shall preclude the Purchaser from bringing any action, suit or other proceeding in the courts of any other location where the assets of any member of the Company Group or the Collateral may be found or located or to enforce any judgment or other court order in favor of the Purchaser.

(b) Subject to Section 15.12(e), each of the parties hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action, suit or other proceeding commenced in any such court, (ii) waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or any objection that such Person may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue and (iii) consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each of the parties hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint or other process issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the address set forth in Section 15.6 and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such Person's actual receipt thereof or 5 days after deposit in the United States mail, proper postage prepaid.

(c) To the extent permitted under Applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction, each member of the Company Group hereby waives, in respect of any such action, suit or other proceeding, the jurisdiction of any other court or courts that now or hereafter, by reason of such Person's present or future domicile, or otherwise, may be available to it.

(d) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

(e) The parties acknowledge and agree that in respect of any disputes arising out of or in connection with any Additional Australian Agreement and any CHESS Agreement ("Australian Dispute"), the courts that have jurisdiction in New South Wales, Australia shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any Australian Dispute. Subject to this Section, the parties acknowledge and agree that those courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any Australian Dispute and no party will argue to the contrary. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection it may now, or in the future, have to the venue of any proceedings in relation to an Australian Dispute, and any claim it may now, or in the future, have that any proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum, where that venue is New South Wales, Australia. This Section 15.12(e) is for the benefit of the Purchaser only. As a result, the Purchaser will not be prevented from commencing proceedings relating to an Australian Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction, subject to this Agreement. To the extent permitted by law and this Agreement, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser may also commence and maintain concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

15.13 Arbitration

. Except for any Australian Dispute, all claims, controversies or disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Related Agreement, between or among any of the signatories hereto (and their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, attorneys, and other agents), whether sounding in contract or tort, including arbitrability and any claim that this Agreement or any other Related Agreement was induced by fraud (collectively, but subject to Section 15.13(d), the “Covered Claims”), may, at the election of any signatory hereto, be resolved by binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

(a) Administrator. The arbitration of all Covered Claims will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, except that the arbitration proceedings will be governed by California procedural law as if the Covered Claims had been brought in a state court of California; provided, however, that (i) the signatories hereto waive any right to jury, (ii) there shall be no interlocutory appellate relief (such as writs) available, (iii) discovery will be limited to matters which are directly relevant to the issues in the arbitration, and (iv) any award of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding and non-appealable.

(b) Arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in the Los Angeles office of AAA and be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), to be selected as follows:

(i) within 7 Business Days from service of an arbitration complaint, the parties thereto will endeavor in good faith to agree upon an Arbitrator;

(ii) failing such agreement under immediately preceding subparagraph (i), the parties, or any party, thereto will ask AAA to supply the parties thereto with a list of no less than seven arbitrators (all of whom shall disclose and clear any potential conflicts) having no less than 5 years’ experience in arbitrating complex business arrangements. Upon receipt of that list of potential arbitrators, each of the parties thereto will communicate within seven days to AAA the names of four arbitrators from the list that such party would agree to use, or its right to participate in the selection of the arbitrator will be forfeited. As soon as AAA receives the selections from affected parties, AAA will review the selected arbitrators and appoint one of those arbitrators whose name appears on all of the lists submitted by the parties. AAA will have the discretion to select the arbitrator that it believes is best suited for the arbitration in terms of experience and availability, and AAA’s selection will be final.

(c) Interim, Provisional or Emergency Relief. The Arbitrator may, in the course of the proceedings, order any interim, provisional or emergency relief, remedy or measure (including attachment, preliminary injunction, or the deposit of specified security) that the Arbitrator considers to be necessary, just and equitable. The failure of a party to the Arbitration to comply with such an interim order may, after due notice and opportunity to cure such noncompliance, be treated by the Arbitrator as a default, and some or all of the claims or defenses of such defaulting party may be stricken and partial or final award entered against such party, or the Arbitrator may impose such lesser sanctions as the Arbitrator may deem appropriate. This Section 15.13 will not preclude the parties to an arbitration from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and each of the signatories hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles and the United States District Court for the Central District of California, located in the County of Los Angeles, California, in conjunction with an application for a provisional remedy.

(d) Excluded Claims. The term “Covered Claims” as used in this Agreement does not include compulsory or permissive cross-claims between or among the parties that arise in a legal action brought by or against a non-signatory hereto (“Non-Signatory Action”). However, a party that has the right to assert a permissive cross-claim against another party in a Non-Signatory Action may choose to treat that claim as a Covered Claim and assert it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The term “Covered Claims” as used in this Agreement also does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral, (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession, or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. The exclusions from “Covered Claims” set forth in this Section 15.13(d) do not constitute a waiver or the right or obligation of any signatory hereto to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in this Section 15.13(d).

(e) Record and Proceedings. A full stenographic or electronic record of all proceedings in the arbitration will be maintained, and the Arbitrator will issue rulings, a statement of decision and a judgment as if the Arbitrator were a sitting judge of the state court of California, with all of the powers (including with respect to remedies) vested in such a judge. The fees and costs of creating and maintaining a stenographic or electronic record will be initially borne by the parties to the arbitration in equal amounts, pro rata.

(f) Res Judicata, Collateral Estoppel and Law of the Case. A decision of the Arbitrator will have the same force and effect with respect to collateral estoppel, res judicata and law of the case that such decision would have been entitled to if decided in a court of law, but in no event will such a decision be used by or against a party to this Agreement in a Non-Signatory Action.

(g) Jurisdiction/Venue/Enforcement of Award. The signatories hereto consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California to confirm any arbitration award granted pursuant to this Agreement, including any award granting equitable relief, and to otherwise enforce this Agreement and carry out the intentions of the signatories hereto to resolve all Covered Claims through arbitration. This Section 15.13 does not prevent the signatories hereto from enforcing the award of the arbitrator in the court of any other jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by law (for example, if property that is the subject of the award is located in another jurisdiction).

(h) Confidentiality. All arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential, and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary, and only to the extent reasonably necessary, to obtain court confirmation of the judgment of the Arbitrator, and except as necessary, and only to the extent reasonably necessary, to give effect to res judicata and collateral estoppel (e.g., in a dispute between any signatories hereto that is not a Covered Claim), in which case all filings with any court will be sealed to the extent permitted by the court. A signatory hereto (including such party’s counsel or other representative) may disclose to the media only the fact and generic nature of a Covered Claim that is being, or has been, arbitrated pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 15.13 is intended to, or shall, preclude a signatory hereto from communicating with, or making disclosures to, its lawyers, tax advisors, auditors, lenders, investors, landlords, regulators and insurers, as necessary and appropriate or from making such other disclosures as may be required by law.

(i) Fees and Costs. The parties to an arbitration will share equally in the fees of the Arbitrator and the administrative costs of the arbitration; provided, however, that the prevailing party in the arbitration will be entitled to recover its fees and costs (including attorneys’ fees) from the other party or parties.

15.14 Federal Anti-Money Laundering Law

. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires financial institutions (which may include the Purchaser and its Affiliates) to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or other formal customer relationship. Accordingly, in connection with this Agreement, the Purchaser may require that the Company Group provide certified copies of their articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, operating agreement or other similar identifying documents. Further, each member of the Company Group confirms that its legal name and address, as set forth in this Agreement, are correct and complete and covenant and agree to provide such other information as may be necessary to allow the Purchaser and its Affiliates to comply with such laws.

15.15 Time of the Essence

. Time is of the essence in the Agreement and Related Agreements.

15.16 Press Release

. Each party will consult with the other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review, comment upon and concur with and use reasonable efforts to agree on, any press release announcing principally the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release prior to such consultation, except as either party may determine is required under Applicable Laws or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any securities exchange. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties.

15.17 Limitation on Liability

. No claim shall be made by any party or any of their Affiliates against any other party, or any Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives of such other party, for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or under any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Securities, any other Related Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith. Each party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

15.18 Co-Issuers

. It is understood and agreed that the issuance of the Notes to the Purchaser on a joint issuer basis as set forth in this Agreement and the Notes is solely as an accommodation to the Issuers (individually, a "Co-Issuer", and collectively, the “Co-Issuers") and at their request.  Accordingly, the Co-Issuers hereby agree as follows:

(a) Each Co-Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the intention of the parties is that each Co-Issuer shall be a direct and primary "Issuer" with respect to the Obligations to the Purchaser evidenced or secured by the Note Documents, and the Co-Issuers agree that they are jointly and severally liable for the Obligations to the Purchaser and liabilities of each Issuer and the Issuers under the Note Documents.  Except as expressly otherwise provided in any Loan Document, (i) any covenant, representation or warranty by any Co-Issuer in any Note Document shall be deemed to be a covenant, representation or warranty with respect to each Co-Issuer and all Co-Issuers, and a breach of any such covenant, representation or warranty by any Co-Issuer or all Co-Issuers shall be deemed to be a breach of such covenant, representation or warranty by each Co-Issuer and all Co-Issuers, (ii) any requirement, restriction or prohibition with respect to any Co-Issuer or all Co-Issuers shall be deemed to be a requirement, restriction or prohibition with respect each Co-Issuer and all Co-Issuers, and (iii) any event described as a "Default" or "Event of Default" or giving rise to a right to accelerate or other remedy with respect to any Co-Issuer or all Co-Issuers shall be a "Default" or "Event of Default" or an event giving rise to the right to accelerate or other remedy, as the case may be, as to each Co-Issuer and all Co-Issuers.  Any waiver by any Co-Issuer or all Co-Issuers shall be deemed to be a waiver by each Co-Issuer and all Co-Issuers.  Any right or remedy of Purchaser against any Co-Issuer or all Co-Issuers may be exercised by Purchaser against any Co-Issuer or all or some Co-Issuers.

(b) Each Co-Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints each other Co-Issuer as the appointing Co-Issuer's agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of the Note Documents, including, without limitation, the giving and receiving of notices and other communications and making of requests and elections.  Purchaser is entitled to rely, and shall be exonerated from any liability for relying, upon any notice, communication, request or election by any Co-Issuer without the need for any consent or other authorization of any other Co-Issuer and upon any information or certificate provided on behalf of any Co-Issuer.  However, Purchaser may in its sole discretion elect not to accept any notice, communication, request or election from or by fewer than all of the Co-Issuers, and upon such election by Purchaser any such rejected notice, communication, request or other election shall have no force or effect.

15.19 Suretyship and Guarantor Waivers

. In the event that for any reason any party (individually, an “Obligated Party”, and collectively, the “Obligated Parties”) to this Agreement, the Notes, the Collateral Documents and the Related Agreements (each, a “Note Document”, and collectively, the “Note Documents”) is held or deemed to be a guarantor of or surety for the payment and performance by any other Obligated Party of any Obligations to the Purchaser, each Obligated Party hereby agrees as follows:

(a) Each Obligated Party hereby waives any right it may now or hereafter have to require Purchaser, as a condition to the exercise of any remedy or other right against any Obligated Party hereunder or under any other Note Document:  (i) to proceed against any Obligated Party or other Person, or against collateral given by any Obligated Party or other Person; (ii) to pursue any other right or remedy in the power Purchaser; (iii) to give notice of the time, place or terms of any public or private sale of real or personal property collateral given by any Obligated Party or other Person, or otherwise to comply with any applicable UCC or similar law with respect to any such personal property collateral; or (iv) to make or give (except as otherwise expressly provided in the Note Documents) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of protest or other demand or notice of any kind in connection with any obligation under the Note Documents or any collateral.

(b) Each Obligated Party hereby waives any defense it may now or hereafter have that relates to:  (i) any disability or other defense of any Obligated Party or other Person; (ii) the cessation, from any cause other than full performance, of all Obligations to the Purchaser of any Obligated Party or any other Person; (iii) the application of the proceeds of the Notes by any Obligated Party or other Person, for purposes other than the purposes represented to any other Obligated Party by such representing Obligated Party or otherwise intended or understood by any Obligated Party; (iv) any act or omission by Purchaser which directly or indirectly results in or contributes to the release of any Obligated Party or other Person or any collateral for any obligation under the Note Documents; (v) the unenforceability or invalidity of any collateral assignment or guaranty with respect to any obligation under the Note Documents, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or lack of priority of any lien which secures any obligation under the Note Documents; (vi) any failure of Purchaser to marshal assets in favor of any Obligated Party or any other Person; (vii) any modification of any obligation under the Note Documents, including any renewal, extension, acceleration or increase in interest rate; (viii) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Purchaser, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed any Obligated Party's rights of contribution, subrogation and reimbursement against any other Obligated Party by the operation of any Applicable Law or otherwise; (ix) any Applicable Law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety's or guarantor's obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (x) any failure of Purchaser to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person; (xi) the election by Purchaser, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xii) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code; (xiii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; or (xiv) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person.  These rights and defenses being waived by each Obligated Party include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon all Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, each Obligated Party further expressly waives to the extent permitted by Applicable Law any and all suretyship and guarantor rights and defenses, including without limitation any rights of subrogation, exoneration, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution, which might otherwise be available to such Obligated Party under any Applicable Law.

(c) Each Obligated Party hereby waives:  (i) any right of subrogation against any other Obligated Party that relates to any obligation under the Note Documents; (ii) any right to enforce any remedy such Obligated Party may now or hereafter have against any other Obligated Party that relates to any obligation under the Note Documents; and (iii) any right to participate in any collateral now or hereafter assigned to Purchaser with respect to any obligation under the Note Documents.

(d) Each Obligated Party warrants and agrees:  (i) that such Obligated Party has not relied, and will not rely, on any representation or warranty by Purchaser to any Obligated Party with respect to the creditworthiness of any other Obligated Party or the prospects of repayment of any obligation under the Note Documents; (ii) that such Obligated Party has established or will establish adequate means of obtaining from each other Obligated Party on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to the business operations, if any, and financial condition of each other Obligated Party; (iii) that such Obligated Party assumes full responsibility for keeping informed with respect to each other Obligated Party's business operations, if any, and financial condition; (iv) that Purchaser has no duty to disclose or report to such Obligated Party any information now or hereafter known to Purchaser with respect to any other Obligated Party, including, without limitation, any information relating to any other Obligated Party's business operations or financial condition; and (v) that such Obligated Party is familiar with the terms and conditions of the Note Documents and consents to all provisions thereof.

(e) Each Obligated Party warrants that all of the waivers in this Agreement are made with full knowledge of their significance, and of the fact that events giving rise to any defense or other benefit waived by such Obligated Party may destroy or impair rights which such Obligated Party would otherwise have against Purchaser, any other Obligated Party and other Persons, or against collateral. Each Obligated Party agrees that all such waivers are reasonable under the circumstances and further agrees that, if any such waiver is determined (by a court of competent jurisdiction) to be contrary to any Applicable Law or public policy, the other waivers herein shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect.

(f) Each Obligated Party waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to it by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and Sections 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code.

15.20 Proprietary Information.

(a) All nonpublic information provided to, or obtained by, a party regarding another party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be "Proprietary Information". Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Proprietary Information shall not include information that (i) is or becomes within the public domain through no act of the receiving party in breach of this Section 15.20, (ii) was in the possession of the receiving party prior to its disclosure or transfer hereunder other than, with respect to the Purchaser, all information pertaining to Royal Wolf Holdings and its Subsidiaries that is not presently in the public domain (which information shall be Proprietary Information until publicly disclosed by a Person other than Purchaser), (iii) is independently developed by the receiving party, or (iv) is received from another source without any restriction on use or disclosure through no act of the receiving party in breach of this Section 15.20.

(b) Except as specifically provided herein, each party agrees that it shall not disclose any Proprietary Information to any Third Party nor use any Proprietary Information of another party for any purpose other than as may be necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties shall each protect all Proprietary Information with the same degree of care as it applies to protect its own proprietary information. As used in this Section, the term "Third Party" shall be broadly interpreted to include any corporation, company, partnership or individual.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose such Proprietary Information to their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and representatives who need to know such Proprietary Information in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (it being understood that such directors, officers, consultants, agents and representatives shall be informed by the receiving party of the confidential nature of such Proprietary Information); provided, that, the receiving party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 15.20 by such persons.

(d) Except with respect to any disclosures (i) required to be made to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, any nationally recognized ratings agencies or any Governmental Authority or (ii) that are necessary to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such party or in response to any subpoena or other legal process, in the event a party is legally requested or required to disclose Proprietary Information of the other party, the receiving party shall, to the extent practicable and permitted by law or order, promptly notify the disclosing party of such request or requirement so that the disclosing party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive the provisions of this Section 15.20. In the event that such protection or other remedy is not obtained or that the disclosing party waives compliance, the receiving party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information which it reasonably determines is legally required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a disclosing party shall not be required to provide any information to any other party which it reasonably believes it may not provide to another party by reason of applicable law, rules or regulations.

11.9% SECURED SENIOR PROMISSORY NOTE

US$26,000,000  Los Angeles, California

[________], 2017

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GFN ASIA PACIFIC HOLDINGS PTY LTD. (ACN 000 000 000), an Australian corporation ("Holdings”), and GFN ASIA PACIFIC FINANCE PTY LTD. (CAN 620 128 001), an Australian corporation ("Finance”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of BISON CAPITAL PARTNERS V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Bison Capital"), or its registered assigns (along with Bison Capital, each a "Holder"), on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined), the principal sum of US$26,000,000, or in the case of a prepayment, such portion thereof being prepaid, with interest thereon from time to time as provided herein. Holdings and Finance are collectively referred to as the “Makers” and each individually as a “Maker”. Holdings is from time to time referred to as the “Designated Maker.” General Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“GFN”), for good and valuable consideration of which it acknowledges, is a party to this Note for purposes of Section 4 and Exhibit A hereof only, and the only obligation of GFN under this Note is to issue shares of GFN common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to Section 4 and Exhibit A hereof and to comply with Exhibit A hereof.

This Note is the Convertible Note referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of [________], 2017, by and among Bison Capital, GFN, GFN U.S. Australasia Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GFN US"), Makers and the other parties from time to time party thereto and is subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, and is subject to acceleration and to optional and mandatory prepayment in whole or in part as provided herein. The Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Note and the Purchase Agreement, as it relates to this Note, and may enforce the agreements of the Makers contained herein and therein and exercise the remedies provided for hereby and thereby or otherwise available in respect hereto and thereto. Capitalized terms used herein without definition are used herein with the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. This Note is secured and guaranteed as provided in the Related Agreements.

1. Interest; Return on Investment.

(a)           Subject to Section 1(b) hereof, the Makers promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding (the “Principal Amount”) at the per annum rate of 11.9% (the "Scheduled Interest Rate"); provided, that the Scheduled Interest Rate shall increase to and therefore be deemed to be the per annum rate of 14.4% upon and during the continuance of a 100% Acquisition State Failure. All accrued interest payable pursuant to this Section 1(a) shall be due and payable in arrears on the first date of each quarter or, if any such date shall not be a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day to occur after such date (the "Interest Payment Date"), beginning on [______], 2017, and shall be paid in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder. All interest payable pursuant to this Section 1(a) shall be calculated and accrue and be paid in Australian Dollars. To the extent Makers pay any installment of interest under this Note in Australian Dollars, Makers shall pay concurrently therewith an amount sufficient to pay all withholding, currency conversion and other similar costs, fees and expenses such that Holder may convert the full amount of the installment of interest to United States Dollars.

(b)           If at any time (i) Makers fail to make any payment of principal as and when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or required prepayment or otherwise), (ii) Makers fail to make any payment of interest, premium, if any, fees, costs, expenses, taxes or other amounts due hereunder within one Business Day after the date when due, or (iii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, in addition to the rights and remedies available to the Holder under the Purchase Agreement, this Note, the other Related Agreements and Applicable Laws, (x) Makers shall pay interest in cash on the unpaid principal balance of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note at a rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to the sum of the Scheduled Interest Rate plus 2.0% from the date specified in Section 12.1 of the Purchase Agreement until such time as such Event of Default is cured or waived and, additionally, (y) the Holder may demand immediate repayment of the Principal Amount and any accrued but unpaid interest.

(c)           All interest payable at the Scheduled Interest Rate shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, and, until the first Interest Payment Date following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, may be paid in kind by automatically increasing the principal amount outstanding under this Note by an amount equal to the interest payable in kind on each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred, the Holder may elect to have the interest accruing at the Scheduled Interest Rate to be paid in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder. Interest paid in kind shall compound annually on each anniversary of the date of this Note.

(d)           Interest payable under this Note shall accrue from and including the date of issuance through and until repayment of the principal and payment of all accrued interest and premium, if any, in full. All interest payable under this Note shall accrue on a quarterly basis and be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(e)           If the Principal Amount actually received by Holder under this Note plus interest thereon actually received by Holder under this Note plus proceeds from the sale of any Common Stock received by Holder after conversion of any Principal Amount of this Note (collectively, the “Proceeds”) do not, in the aggregate, exceed US$45,500,000, then the Makers shall promptly pay to Holder in immediately available funds the difference between US$45,500,000 and the Proceeds actually received.

2. Maturity Date. The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all premiums, if any, accrued and unpaid interest on, and all other amounts owing under this Note, shall be due and payable on [____________, 2022] (the "Maturity Date").

3. Optional Prepayments.

(a)           Makers may not prepay the unpaid principal balance of this Note prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date. Thereafter, subject to Section 3(b), this Note may be voluntarily prepaid, at the sole option of Makers, in whole or in part, as follows: (i) at 102.0% of the Principal Amount being prepaid at any time on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date; (ii) at 101.0% of the Principal Amount being prepaid at any time on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date; and (iii) at 100.0% of the Principal Amount being prepaid at any time on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The optional prepayment amount as provided in each of Sections 3(a)(i)-(iii) shall be referred to as an "Optional Prepayment Amount." Any prepayment of this Note under this Section 3 shall also include all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note through and including the date of prepayment.

(b)           Makers shall give the Holder written notice of each voluntary prepayment not less than 5 nor more than 30 days prior to the date of prepayment. Such notice shall specify the Principal Amount of this Note to be prepaid on such date. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, a payment in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of this Note specified in such prepayment notice shall become due and payable on such prepayment date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note through and including the date of prepayment. All prepayments of principal shall be in minimum increments of US$250,000 or the entire unpaid Principal Amount, if less than US$250,000.

4. Conversion Right and Preemptive Right. The attached Exhibit A is hereby incorporated into this Note by reference as if fully set forth herein, and shall apply to this Note and the Transactions contemplated hereby.

5. Change in Control Prepayment. The Holder may require the Makers to prepay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, in whole or in part, and shall be entitled to all premiums that Holder would otherwise be entitled to under this Note (including any Repayment Premium and/or Optional Prepayment Amount) as a result of an acceleration of the amounts owing under this Note, as requested by the Holder, at any time during the 90-day period following the consummation of any transaction which constitutes a Change in Control (as such term is defined below), at the prepayment amount set forth below. For the purposes of this Note, a "Change in Control" shall mean:

(a)           any transaction or other event (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation, sale or other transfer of stock or voting rights with respect thereto, issuance of stock, death or other transaction or event) by virtue of which GFN fails to own, directly, all of the outstanding Capital Stock of GFN (US) and indirectly, all of the outstanding Capital Stock of each Subsidiary of GFN (US); provided, however, that the sale, transfer or other disposition by any Subsidiary of Royal Wolf Holdings (the “Dissolving Entity”) of substantially all of its assets to another Subsidiary of Royal Wolf Holdings followed by the dissolution of the Dissolving Entity shall not constitute a Change of Control;

(b)           the Capital Stock of GFN (US), Holdings, Finance or Royal Wolf Holdings becomes subject to a Lien (other than a Lien in favor of Holder);

(c)           any sale, lease, transfer, assignment or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of GFN (US) and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the sale, transfer or other disposition by the Dissolving Entity of substantially all of its assets to another Subsidiary of Royal Wolf Holdings shall not constitute a Change of Control;

(d)           any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding any employee benefit plan of such person or its subsidiaries, and any person or entity acting in its capacity as trustee, agent or other fiduciary or administrator of any such plan) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except that a person or group shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all securities that such person or group has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time (such right, an “option right”)), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the equity securities of GFN entitled to vote for members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of GFN on a fully-diluted basis (and taking into account all such securities that such person or group has the right to acquire pursuant to any option right);

(e)           during any period of 12 consecutive months, a majority of the members of the board of directors or other equivalent governing body of GFN ceases to be composed of individuals (i) who were members of that board or equivalent governing body on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination to that board or equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clause (i) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body or (iii) whose election or nomination to that board or other equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body; or

(f)           the passage of thirty days from the date upon which any Person or two or more Persons acting in concert shall have acquired by contract or otherwise, or shall have entered into a contract or arrangement that, upon consummation thereof, will result in its or their acquisition of the power to exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence over the management or policies of GFN, or control over the equity securities of GFN entitled to vote for members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of GFN on a fully-diluted basis (and taking into account all such securities that such Person or group has the right to acquire pursuant to any option right) representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of such securities.

The prepayment amount under this Section 5 shall be equal to the Principal Amount being prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through and including the date of prepayment. Makers shall notify the Holder of the date on which a Change in Control has occurred within three Business Days after such date and shall, in such notification, inform the Holder of the Holder's right to require Makers to prepay this Note as provided in this Section 5 and of the date on which such right shall terminate. If the Holder elects to require Makers to prepay this Note pursuant to this Section 5, it shall furnish written notice to Makers advising Maker of such election and the amount of principal of this Note to be prepaid. Maker shall prepay this Note in accordance with this Section 5 and such written notice within 3 Business Days after its receipt of such written notice.

6. Closing Fee. Upon the Closing, the Maker shall pay to Bison Capital the sum of USD$800,000 (the "Closing Fee") as provided in the Purchase Agreement. Payment of the Closing Fee shall not reduce any amounts owed as principal or interest hereunder.

7. Security. The obligations of the Makers to the Holder under this Note, the Purchase Agreement and the other Related Agreements shall be secured by a perfected first priority Lien granted to the Holder pursuant to each Pledge Agreement and Additional Pledge Agreement to which each Maker is a party.

8. Manner of Payment. Payments of principal and other amounts due under this Note (except for interest) shall be made no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date when due and in United States Dollars (by wire transfer in funds immediately available at the place of payment) to such account as the Holder may designate in writing to either Maker. Payments of interest in Australian Dollars under this Note shall be made no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date when due (by wire transfer in funds immediately available at the place of payment) to such account as the Holder may designate in writing to either Maker. Any payments due hereunder which are due on a day which is not a Business Day shall be payable on the first succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation.

9. Maximum Lawful Rate of Interest. The rate of interest payable under this Note shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permissible under applicable law. If the rate of interest payable on this Note is ever reduced as a result of this Section 9 and at any time thereafter the maximum rate permitted under applicable law exceeds the rate of interest provided for in this Note, then the rate provided for in this Note shall be increased to the maximum rate provided for under applicable law for such period as is required so that the total amount of interest received by the Holder is that which would have been received by the Holder but for the operation of the first sentence of this Section 9.

10. Makers’ Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Maker hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor hereof, and all other notices of any kind to which it may be entitled under applicable law or otherwise.

11. Transfer.

(a)           The term "Holder" as used herein shall also include any transferee of this Note whose name has been recorded by Designated Maker in the Register (as hereinafter defined). Each transferee of this Note acknowledges that this Note has not been registered under the Securities Act, and may be transferred only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(b)           Designated Maker shall maintain at its principal executive office a register for the registration of transfers of this Note (the "Register"). The name and address of the Holder, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee shall be registered in the Register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, absent demonstrable error, the Person in whose name the Note is registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof. Any transfer of this Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register.

12. Persons Deemed Owners; Participations.

(a)           Prior to due presentment for registration of any assignment, Makers may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered pursuant to the Register as the owner and Holder of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, and Makers shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Holder may grant to any other Person participations from time to time in all or any part of this Note on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, that unless the Holder has assigned or transferred all or any portion of this Note in accordance with Section 13 hereof by surrendering this Note at Designated Maker’s principal executive office for registration of any such assignment or transfer, Makers shall continue to treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner of purposes, including payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, nothing in the Purchase Agreement, this Note or any other Related Agreement or otherwise shall confer upon the participant any rights in the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement, and the Holder shall retain all rights with respect to the administration, waiver, amendment, collection and enforcement of, compliance with and consent to the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, this Note or any other Related Agreement.

(b)           In addition, the Holder may, without the consent of the participant, give or withhold its consent or agreement to any amendments to or modifications of the Purchase Agreement, this Note or any other Related Agreement, waive any of the provisions hereof or thereof or exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or remedies which the Holder may have under the Purchase Agreement, this Note or any other Related Agreement or otherwise.

13. Assignment and Transfer. Subject to compliance with Applicable Law and except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Holder may, at any time and from time to time and without the consent of Makers, assign or transfer to one or more Persons all or any portion of this Note or any portion thereof (but not less than US$500,000 in Principal Amount in any single assignment (unless such lesser amount represents the entire outstanding principal balance hereof)) or any rights hereunder. Upon surrender of this Note at Designated Maker's principal executive office for registration of any such assignment or transfer, accompanied by a duly executed instrument of transfer, Makers shall, at their expense and within 3 Business Days of such surrender, execute and deliver one or more new notes of like tenor in the requested principal denominations and in the name of the assignee or assignees and bearing the legend set forth on the face of this Note, and this Note shall promptly be canceled. If the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note is not being assigned, Makers shall issue to the Holder hereof, within 3 Business Days of the date of surrender hereof, a new note which evidences the portion of such outstanding principal balance not being assigned. If this Note is divided into one or more notes and is held at any time by more than one Holder, any payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest or other amounts on this Note which are not sufficient to pay all interest or other amounts due thereunder, shall be made pro rata with respect to all such notes in accordance with the outstanding Principal Amounts thereof, respectively. At any time that the original Note issued on the Closing Date is divided into two or more smaller Notes, all consents, approvals, waivers, demands and decisions that the Holder is entitled to make under this Note shall be made only by the Holders of a majority of the Principal Amounts of the Notes outstanding.

14. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Designated Maker of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity agreement or other indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Designated Maker or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Note, the Makers shall make and deliver within 3 Business Days a new note, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

15. Costs of Collection. The Makers agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any attorneys, accountants and other experts retained by the Holder, which are expended or incurred by the Holder following an Event of Default in connection with (a) the enforcement of this Note or the collection of any sums due hereunder, whether or not suit is commenced; (b) any actions for declaratory relief in any way related to this Note; (c) the protection or preservation of any rights of the Holder under this Note; (d) any actions taken by the Holder in negotiating any amendment, waiver, consent or release of or under this Note; (e) any actions taken in reviewing any Maker's or any of their respective Subsidiaries' financial affairs if an Event of Default has occurred, including, without limitation, the following actions: (i) inspect the facilities of any Maker and any of their respective Subsidiaries or conduct appraisals of the financial condition of any Maker and any of their respective Subsidiaries; (ii) have an accounting firm chosen by the Holder review the books and records of any Maker and any of their respective Subsidiaries and perform a thorough and complete examination thereof; (iii) interview the Makers’ and each of their respective Subsidiaries' employees, accountants, customers and any other individuals related to the Makers or their respective Subsidiaries which the Holder believes may have relevant information concerning the financial condition of the Makers and any of their respective Subsidiaries; and (iv) undertake any other action which the Holder believes is necessary to assess accurately the financial condition and prospects of the Makers and any of their respective Subsidiaries; (f) the Holder's participation in any refinancing, restructuring, bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving any Maker, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate of any Maker; (g) any effort by the Holder to protect, assemble, complete, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any collateral, including in connection with any case under Bankruptcy Law; or (h) any refinancing or restructuring of this Note at the request or instigation of any Maker, including, without limitation, any restructuring in the nature of a "work out" or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding of any Maker.

16. Extension of Time. The Holder, at its option, may extend the time for payment of this Note, postpone the enforcement hereof, or grant any other indulgences without affecting or diminishing the Holder's right to recourse against the Makers, which right is expressly reserved.

17. Notations. Before disposing of this Note or any portion thereof, the Holder may make a notation thereon (or on a schedule attached thereto) of the amount of all principal payments previously made by Makers with respect thereto.

18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY, THE PROVISIONS OF ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE PROVISIONS OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND SPECIFICALLY THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT PROVIDED IN FAVOR OF OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE HOLDER) SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE INCLUDED HEREIN AS IF SET OUT IN FULL HEREIN AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA EVEN IF EXPRESSED IN THE OTHER DOCUMENTS TO BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

Exhibit A

Conversion Right

4. Conversion.

(a) Generally. The Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount of the Note then outstanding into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion (the “Conversion Right”). Subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated [______, 2017] between GFN and Holder, GFN shall take all action as necessary to ensure that any Common Stock issued upon conversion of any portion of the Principal Amount of this Note is, upon issuance to the Holder or its designee, freely publicly tradeable by the Holder or its designee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not attempt to convert, and GFN shall not cause the Holder to convert, any portion of this Note and GFN shall not issue to  the Holder any shares of Common Stock upon attempted conversion of this Note, to the extent, after giving effect to such issuance, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates and associates), would (i) beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance or (ii) control in excess of 19.99% of the total voting power of GFN's securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance that are entitled to vote on a matter being voted on by holders of the Common Stock.

(b) Forced Conversion. Subject to Sections 4(a), hereof, if, after the date of this Note and prior to repayment in full of the Principal Amount and interest thereon, a Conversion Threshold Event occurs, then Maker may, within the 10 days occurring immediately after such Conversion Threshold Event (but not thereafter) cause the Holder to convert some or all of the remaining Principal Amount into Common Stock in accordance with this Section 4 (such a conversion, a “Forced Conversion”) by giving written notice of such forced conversion to Holder within such 10 day period (such notice, a “Forced Conversion Notice”). The date of the Forced Conversion Notice, if given within the foregoing 10-day period, shall be deemed to be a Notice of Conversion under this Section 4. The date of the conversion of the Principal Amount of this Note pursuant to a Forced Conversion shall occur no later than the day that is 10 days after delivery of the Forced Conversion Notice to Holder in accordance with the foregoing unless otherwise approved by the Holder in writing. In the event of a partial Forced Conversion, the minimum Principal Amount that may be required to be converted pursuant to such Forced Conversion shall be no less than US$5,000,000.

(c) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of the Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the outstanding principal amount of the Note at the time of conversion into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

(d) Mechanics of Conversion.

(1) The Holder shall exercise the Conversion Right by delivering a written notice of conversion to the Maker (the “Notice of Conversion”), which notice shall specify the Principal Amount to be converted and the Conversion Effective Date, and may specify that the effectiveness of the exercise of the Conversion Right is contingent upon the consummation of a transaction or occurrence meeting conditions specified by the Holder (such as timing and consideration payable to holders of Common Stock), in which case the Conversion Effective Date shall be deemed to be the date of the consummation of such event.

(2) Within two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Effective Date, GFN shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise of the Conversion Right. In addition, in the event the Holder converts all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of the Note, then the Maker shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Conversion Effective Date, pay to the Holder in immediately available funds all accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Amount to be converted, in immediately available funds and the Holder shall deliver to GFN the original Note, marked cancelled.

(3) Reservation of Shares. GFN shall at all times when the Note shall be  outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the Conversion Right, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the then outstanding Principal Amount of the Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the Conversion Right of the then outstanding Principal Amount of the Note, GFN shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of GFN. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, GFN will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that GFN may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

(e) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If GFN shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If GFN shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(f) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event GFN at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock or Preferred Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (ii) no such adjustment shall be made if the Holder simultaneously receives a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if the entire Principal Amount of the Note had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

(g) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving GFN in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Subsection 4(f)), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, the Note shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of GFN issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Subsection 4(g) with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Subsection 4(g) (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Note.

(h) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, GFN at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than twenty (20) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Note is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. GFN shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of the Holder (but in any event not later than twenty (20) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of the Note.

(i) Notice of Record Date. In the event:

(1) GFN shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Note) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

(2) of any capital reorganization of GFN, any reclassification of the Common Stock of GFN, or any Fundamental Transaction; or

(3) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of GFN,

then, and in each such case, GFN will send or cause to be sent to the Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Note) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Note and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

(j) Purchase Price Adjustment. Except as provided in Section 4(k) below, if the Holder receives aggregate proceeds in excess of US$48,900,000 from the sale of Shares received pursuant to the exercise of the Conversion Rights hereunder (such Shares received hereunder and then sold by the Holder, the “Publicly Sold Shares”) then an aggregate amount equal to 50% of the interest accrued and actually paid to Holder on the Principal Amount that was converted into such Publicly Sold Shares (the “Price Increase”) shall be repaid by the Holder by either (i) paying such Price Increase to a Maker in the form of cash, or (ii) returning to GFN (i.e. transferring to GFN) shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the Price Increase, or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii) above that in the aggregate equals the Price Increase. The value of the Common Stock for purposes of the Shares returned to GFN by the Holder in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be the average price per Share realized by the Holder in the sale of the Publicly Sold Shares. Any payment made by Holder to GFN pursuant to this Section 4(j) shall be treated by the parties for all relevant tax purposes as an adjustment to the purchase price of all Shares issued to Holder by GFN upon exercise of a Conversion Right.

(k) Holder Election to Increase Conversion Rate. In lieu of paying the Price Increase as provided in Section 4(j) above, if at the time of the exercise of the Conversion Right the Common Stock has, at times during the 15 consecutive Trading Days prior to such exercise, traded above the Interest Repayment Threshold, then the Holder may, in writing at the time of the exercise of the Conversion Right, elect to cause the number of Shares issued to Holder upon the exercise of such Conversion Right to be decreased by a number of Shares equal to the Excess Return Offset Amount (the Shares received in connection with Holder’s election in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Reduced Shares”). Such election by the Holder to decrease the number of Shares received as provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall eliminate any obligation of the Holder to repay any interest paid on any of the Reduced Shares under Section 4(j). For purposes of illustration only, if (i) the Principal Amount to be converted pursuant to the exercise of a Conversion Right is US$100,000, (ii) the Conversion Price is US$10.00/Share, (iii) the average closing price of a share of Common Stock on the 15 consecutive Trading Days preceding the date on which the Conversion Right is exercised is US$16.00/Share, (iv) the interest actually paid under this Note with respect to such Principal Amount prior to the exercise of such Conversion Right is US$20,000, and (v) at the time the Holder exercises its Conversion Right the Interest Repayment Threshold with respect to such exercise of the Conversion Right has been satisfied as provided in the first sentence hereof, then the number of Shares into which the US$100,000 Principal Amount is converted upon exercise of the Conversion Right shall be decreased from 10,000 Shares to 9,375 Shares, and all of such 9,375 Shares shall be deemed “Reduced Shares” hereunder.

(l) Pre-Emptive Rights.

(1) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Subsection 4(l), if GFN proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, GFN shall first offer such New Securities to the Holder. Holder shall be entitled to apportion the rights hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate among (i) itself, (ii) its Affiliates and (iii) its beneficial interest holders, such as limited partners, members or any other Person having “beneficial ownership,” as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, of Holder.

(2) GFN shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Holder stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms (including the contemplated date of the issuance of New Securities) upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

(3) By notification to GFN within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given, the Holder may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Common Stock then held by the Holder (including but not limited to all shares of Common Stock then issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of this Note) bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then outstanding. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Subsection 4(l) shall occur within the later of sixty (60) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to the Offer Notice.

(4) If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Subsection 4(l), GFN may, during the sixty (60) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Subsection 4(l), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If GFN does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to Holder n in accordance with this Subsection 4(l).

(c) All interest payable at the Scheduled Interest Rate shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, and, until the first Interest Payment Date following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, may be paid in kind by automatically increasing the principal amount outstanding under this Note by an amount equal to the interest payable in kind on each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred, the Holder may elect to have the interest accruing at the Scheduled Interest Rate to be paid in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder.

(d) Interest payable under this Note shall accrue from and including the date of issuance through and until repayment of the principal and payment of all accrued interest and premium, if any, in full.

(b) Makers shall give the Holder written notice of each voluntary prepayment not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the date of prepayment. Such notice shall specify the Principal Amount of this Note to be prepaid on such date. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, a payment in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of this Note specified in such prepayment notice shall become due and payable on such prepayment date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note through and including the date of prepayment.

5. Change in Control Prepayment. The Holder may require the Makers to prepay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, in whole or in part, and shall be entitled to all premiums that Holder would otherwise be entitled to under this Note (including any Repayment Premium and/or Optional Prepayment Amount) as a result of an acceleration of the amounts owing under this Note, as requested by the Holder, at any time during the 90-day period following the consummation of any transaction which constitutes a Change in Control (as such term is defined below), at the prepayment amount set forth below. For the purposes of this Note, a "Change in Control" shall mean:

(b) the Capital Stock of GFN (US), Holdings, Finance or Royal Wolf Holdings becomes subject to a Lien (other than a Lien in favor of Holder);

(d) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding any employee benefit plan of such person or its subsidiaries, and any person or entity acting in its capacity as trustee, agent or other fiduciary or administrator of any such plan) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except that a person or group shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all securities that such person or group has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time (such right, an “option right”)), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the equity securities of GFN entitled to vote for members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of GFN on a fully-diluted basis (and taking into account all such securities that such person or group has the right to acquire pursuant to any option right);

(e) during any period of 12 consecutive months, a majority of the members of the board of directors or other equivalent governing body of GFN ceases to be composed of individuals (i) who were members of that board or equivalent governing body on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination to that board or equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clause (i) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body or (iii) whose election or nomination to that board or other equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body; or

(f) the passage of thirty days from the date upon which any Person or two or more Persons acting in concert shall have acquired by contract or otherwise, or shall have entered into a contract or arrangement that, upon consummation thereof, will result in its or their acquisition of the power to exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence over the management or policies of GFN, or control over the equity securities of GFN entitled to vote for members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of GFN on a fully-diluted basis (and taking into account all such securities that such Person or group has the right to acquire pursuant to any option right) representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of such securities.

The prepayment amount under this Section 5 shall be equal to the Principal Amount being prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through and including the date of prepayment. Makers shall notify the Holder of the date on which a Change in Control has occurred within three Business Days after such date and shall, in such notification, inform the Holder of the Holder's right to require Makers to prepay this Note as provided in this Section 5 and of the date on which such right shall terminate. If the Holder elects to require Makers to prepay this Note pursuant to this Section 5, it shall furnish written notice to Makers advising Maker of such election and the amount of principal of this Note to be prepaid. Maker shall prepay this Note in accordance with this Section 5 and such written notice within 3 Business Days after its receipt of such written notice.

Payments of interest in Australian Dollars under this Note shall be made no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date when due (by wire transfer in funds immediately available at the place of payment) to such account as the Holder may designate in writing to either Maker. Any payments due hereunder which are due on a day which is not a Business Day shall be payable on the first succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation.

9. Maximum Lawful Rate of Interest. The rate of interest payable under this Note shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permissible under applicable law. If the rate of interest payable on this Note is ever reduced as a result of this Section 9 and at any time thereafter the maximum rate permitted under applicable law exceeds the rate of interest provided for in this Note, then the rate provided for in this Note shall be increased to the maximum rate provided for under applicable law for such period as is required so that the total amount of interest received by the Holder is that which would have been received by the Holder but for the operation of the first sentence of this Section 9.

10. Makers’ Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Maker hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor hereof, and all other notices of any kind to which it may be entitled under applicable law or otherwise.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, nothing in the Purchase Agreement, this Note or any other Related Agreement or otherwise shall confer upon the participant any rights in the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement, and the Holder shall retain all rights with respect to the administration, waiver, amendment, collection and enforcement of, compliance with and consent to the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, this Note or any other Related Agreement.

If this Note is divided into one or more notes and is held at any time by more than one Holder, any payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest or other amounts on this Note which are not sufficient to pay all interest or other amounts due thereunder, shall be made pro rata with respect to all such notes in accordance with the outstanding Principal Amounts thereof, respectively.

is a continuing security, and remains in full force until a final irrevocable discharge of that Security is given to the Grantor under clause 14 despite any transaction or other thing (including a settlement of account or intervening payment); and

(b) 

will apply to the present and future balance of the Secured Money and to the present and future Secured Obligations.

13.4 Limitations on Grantor's rights

Until the Secured Money has been irrevocably paid, repaid and satisfied in full and the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably performed and satisfied in full, the Grantor may not:

(a) 

If any of the Grantor, GFN Holdings or GFN Finance is wound up or bankrupted, the Grantor irrevocably authorises the Secured Party to:

(i) 

prove for all amounts that the Grantor has paid under this document; and

(ii) 

retain and carry into a suspense account and appropriate at the Secured Party's discretion any dividends and other amounts received in relation to the Secured Money,

until the Secured Money has been irrevocably paid, repaid and satisfied in full and the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably performed and satisfied in full. The Secured Party is not obliged to do this.

(b) 

If an Insolvency Event has occurred in relation to any of the Grantor, GFN Holdings or GFN Finance, any amount paid by GFN the Grantor, GFN Holdings or GFN Finance (as the case may be) (relevant payment) will only be applied against any Secured Money if:

(i) 

the Secured Party forms the opinion in good faith (which will be conclusively binding on the Grantor) that it will not be required to pay the relevant payment to any person under any law relating to bankruptcy, winding up or the protection of creditors; or

(ii) 

a final judgment is given by a court of competent jurisdiction in favour of the Secured Party that it is not required to pay the relevant payment to any person under any law relating to bankruptcy, winding up or the protection of creditors.

(c) 

If an amount is applied against any Secured Money and the Secured Party pays or determines that it is obliged to pay the relevant amount to any person under any law relating to bankruptcy, winding up or the protection of creditors:

(i) 

the Secured Party's rights are to be reinstated and will be the same in relation to that amount as if the application, or the payment or transaction giving rise to it, had not been made; and

(ii) 

the Grantor must immediately do anything (including the signing of documents) required by the Secured Party to restore to the Secured Party any Guarantee or Security to which it was entitled immediately before that application or the payment or transaction giving rise to it.

(d) 

Any discharge or release between the Secured Party and the Grantor is subject to reinstatement of the Secured Party's rights under this subclause.

 13.7 Notice of other interests in Non-PPS Property

 (a) 

If the Secured Party receives notice of a subsequent interest in any Non-PPS Property, it may open a new account in the Grantor's name in the books of the Secured Party.

(b) 

If the Secured Party does not open a new account under clause 13.7(a), it is taken to have done so at the time it received notice of the subsequent interest.

(c) 

From the time the new account is opened or taken to be opened, the following amounts will be, or will be taken to be, debited or credited (as applicable) to the new account:

(i) 

all financial accommodation made by the Secured Party to the Grantor; and

(ii) 

all payments and repayments made by the Grantor to the Secured Party.

(d) 

Payments, repayments and other amounts from the new account will only be applied in reduction of other Secured Money to the extent there is no debit balance in that account.

(e) 

If requested by the Secured Party, the Grantor must ensure that any other holder of a Security in Non-PPS Property enters into an agreement with the Secured Party:

(i) 

under which the holder agrees that the Secured Party's Security ranks ahead of that holder's Security, for all the amount owing that is incurred after that holder's Security was granted; and

(ii) 

which is otherwise satisfactory to the Secured Party in form and substance.

(f) 

The Secured Party may notify the Grantor that its obligation to provide further financial accommodation under any Finance Document is terminated, in which case its obligation to do so terminates immediately, if:

(i) 

the Secured Party receives notice of a subsequent Security (other than a Permitted Security) which affects any Non-PPS Property; and

(ii) 

it is of the opinion that any financial accommodation provided to the Grantor will not rank ahead of that subsequent Security.

(g) 

If this clause 13.7 is inconsistent with any other Finance Document, this clause prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

 14.            

Release

The Secured Party must at the request and cost of the Grantor release the Secured Property from the Security created by this document and transfer back to the Grantor any remaining Secured Property transferred by way of security to the Secured Party under this document:

(a) 

when the Secured Party is satisfied that:

(i) 

all the Secured Money has been irrevocably paid, repaid and satisfied in full or satisfied in accordance with this document and (without limiting this) that clause 13.6 and clause 18.13 will not later apply; and

(ii) 

all the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably performed and satisfied in full; and

(iii) 

no amount remains contingently payable or may become payable on the security of this document (including under an indemnity); and

on payment or retention of all costs and expenses incurred by or payable to the Secured Party, its Authorised Representatives or any Receiver or Attorney in connection with the foregoing.

Any discharge is subject to clause 13.6 and clause 18.13.

  15.            

Personal Property Securities Act

15.1 PPSA Further steps

If the Secured Party determines that a Finance Document (or a transaction in connection with it) is or contains a security interest for the purposes of the PPSA, the Grantor agrees to do anything (such as obtaining consents, signing and producing documents, getting documents completed and signed and supplying information) which the Secured Party asks and considers necessary for the purposes of:

(a) 

providing more effective security over the property subject to the security interest for payment of the Secured Money or performance of the Secured Obligations; or

(b) 

ensuring that the security interest is enforceable, perfected (including, where possible, by control (as defined in the PPSA) in addition to registration) and otherwise effective; or

(c) 

enabling the Secured Party to apply for any registration, or give any notification, in connection with the security interest so that the security interest has the priority required by the Secured Party; or

(d) 

enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights in connection with the security interest or the property subject to the security interest.

15.2 PPSA undertaking

If the Grantor holds any security interests for the purposes of the PPSA, the Grantor agrees to promptly take all reasonable steps which are prudent for its business under or in relation to the PPSA, including doing anything reasonably requested by the Secured Party for that purpose, and to implement, maintain and comply in all material respects with procedures for the perfection of those security interests. These procedures must include procedures designed to ensure that the Grantor takes all steps under the PPSA to perfect continuously any such security interest including all steps necessary:

(a) 

for the Grantor to obtain the highest ranking priority possible in respect of the security interest (such as perfecting a purchase money security interest or perfecting a security interest by control (as defined in the PPSA)); and

(b) 

to reduce as far as possible the risk of a third party acquiring an interest free of the security interest (such as including the serial number in a financing statement for personal property that may or must be described by a serial number).

If the Secured Party asks, the Grantor agrees to arrange at the Grantor’s expense an audit of the above PPSA procedures. The Secured Party may ask the Grantor to do this if it reasonably suspects that the Grantor is not complying with this clause.

15.3 Costs of further steps and undertaking

Everything the Grantor is required to do under this clause 15 is at the Grantor’s expense. The Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the costs and expenses of the Secured Party in connection with anything the Grantor is required to do under this clause 15.

 15.4 Exclusion of PPSA provisions

To the extent the law permits:

(a) 

for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA:

(i) 

the Secured Party need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4); and

(ii) 

sections 142 and 143 are excluded;

(b) 

for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA, the Secured Party need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3); and

(c) 

if the PPSA is amended after the date of this document to permit the Grantor and the Secured Party to agree not to comply with or to exclude other provisions of the PPSA, the Secured Party may notify the Grantor that any of those provisions is excluded, or that the Secured Party need not comply with any of those provisions, as notified to the Grantor by the Secured Party.

15.5 Exercise of rights by Secured Party

If the Secured Party exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with this document, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA unless the Secured Party states otherwise at the time of exercise. However, this clause does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the PPSA.

 15.6 No notice required unless mandatory

To the extent the law permits, the Grantor waives:

(a) 

its rights to receive any notice that is required by:

(i) 

any provision of the PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement); or

(ii) 

any other law before the Secured Party or a Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy; and

(b) 

any time period that must otherwise lapse under any law before the Secured Party or Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy.

If the law which requires a period of notice or a lapse of time cannot be excluded, but the law provides that the period of notice or lapse of time may be agreed, that period or lapse is one day or the minimum period the law allows to be agreed (whichever is the longer).

However, nothing in this clause prohibits the Secured Party or any Receiver from giving a notice under the PPSA or any other law.

 15.7 Confidentiality Agreement

(a) 

In this clause 15.7, all references to sections are to sections in the PPSA.

 (b) 

The parties agree not to disclose information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1), except in the circumstances required by sections 275(7)(b) to (e). The Grantor must obtain the Secured Party's consent before authorising the disclosure of information under section 275(7)(c) or requesting information under section 275(7)(d). Nothing in this paragraph prevents any disclosure by the Secured Party that it believes is necessary to comply with its other obligations under the PPSA.

(c) 

To the extent that it is not inconsistent with clause 15.7(b) constituting a ‘confidentiality agreement’ for the purposes of section 275(6)(a), the Grantor agrees that the Secured Party may disclose information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1) to the extent that the Secured Party is not doing so in response to a request made by an ‘interested person’ (as defined in section 275(9)) pursuant to section 275(1).

(d) 

Each party consents to the disclosures made in accordance with this clause.

15.8 PPS Security Interests

(a) 

The Grantor acknowledges that this document gives rise, or may give rise, to one or more PPS Security Interests.

(b) 

To the extent that any such PPS Security Interest can be perfected by control (as defined in the PPSA), the Grantor must do anything required by the Secured Party to enable it to perfect that PPS Security Interest by control (as defined in the PPSA).

(c) 

To the extent that any such PPS Security Interest is over personal property of a type referred to in section 340(5) of the PPSA, the Grantor must do anything required by the Secured Party to enable it to control (as defined in the PPSA) that property for the purposes of section 340(2)(b) of the PPSA.

15.9 Authority to register and waiver of right to receive verification statements

The Grantor acknowledges that the Secured Party may, at the Grantor's cost, register one or more financing statements, or give any notification, in relation to any PPS Security Interest provided for by this document.

15.10 

Appointment of Grantor as nominee

For the purposes of section 153 of the PPSA, the Secured Party appoints the Grantor as its nominee, and authorises the Grantor to act on its behalf, in connection with a registration under the PPSA of any security interest in favour of the Grantor which is:

(a) 

evidenced or created by chattel paper;

(b) 

perfected by registration under the PPSA; and

(c) 

transferred to the Secured Party under this document.

This authority ceases when the registration is transferred to the Secured Party.

15.11 

Other rights

Where the Secured Party has rights, powers, remedies and discretions in addition to, or existing separately from, those in Chapter 4 of the PPSA, those rights, powers, remedies and discretions will continue to apply and are not limited or excluded (or otherwise adversely affected) by the PPSA. This is despite clause 15.4 or any other provisions of a Finance Document.

16.            

Anti-money laundering

16.1 Anti-money laundering

(a) 

The Grantor agrees that the Secured Party may delay, block or refuse to process any Suspicious Transaction without incurring any liability to any person.

(b) 

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Grantor must provide all information and documents to the Secured Party which the Secured Party reasonably requires in order to manage its money-laundering, terrorism-financing or economic and/or trade sanctions risk or to comply with AML CTF Laws or any other laws or regulations in Australia or any other country.

(c) 

The Grantor agrees that the Secured Party may disclose any information or documents concerning the Grantor to any law enforcement agency, regulatory agency, court or other person where required by any law or regulation in Australia or elsewhere and such disclosure will not breach any duty (including any duty of confidentiality) owed by the Secured Party to any other party to any Finance Document. The Grantor releases the Secured Party in respect of any claim they would otherwise have in respect of such disclosure.

(d) 

Unless the Grantor has disclosed that it is acting in a trustee capacity or on behalf of another party, the Grantor represents and warrants that it is acting on its own behalf in entering into the Finance Documents to which it is a party.

(e)

(ii) which is otherwise satisfactory to the Secured Party in form and substance.

(f) The Secured Party may notify the Grantor that its obligation to provide further financial accommodation under any Finance Document is terminated, in which case its obligation to do so terminates immediately, if:

15. Personal Property Securities Act

15.1 PPSA Further steps

If the Secured Party determines that a Finance Document (or a transaction in connection with it) is or contains a security interest for the purposes of the PPSA, the Grantor agrees to do anything (such as obtaining consents, signing and producing documents, getting documents completed and signed and supplying information) which the Secured Party asks and considers necessary for the purposes of:

(a) providing more effective security over the property subject to the security interest for payment of the Secured Money or performance of the Secured Obligations; or

(b) ensuring that the security interest is enforceable, perfected (including, where possible, by control (as defined in the PPSA) in addition to registration) and otherwise effective; or

(c) enabling the Secured Party to apply for any registration, or give any notification, in connection with the security interest so that the security interest has the priority required by the Secured Party; or

(d) enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights in connection with the security interest or the property subject to the security interest.

15.2 PPSA undertaking

If the Grantor holds any security interests for the purposes of the PPSA, the Grantor agrees to promptly take all reasonable steps which are prudent for its business under or in relation to the PPSA, including doing anything reasonably requested by the Secured Party for that purpose, and to implement, maintain and comply in all material respects with procedures for the perfection of those security interests. These procedures must include procedures designed to ensure that the Grantor takes all steps under the PPSA to perfect continuously any such security interest including all steps necessary:

(a) for the Grantor to obtain the highest ranking priority possible in respect of the security interest (such as perfecting a purchase money security interest or perfecting a security interest by control (as defined in the PPSA)); and

(b) to reduce as far as possible the risk of a third party acquiring an interest free of the security interest (such as including the serial number in a financing statement for personal property that may or must be described by a serial number).

If the Secured Party asks, the Grantor agrees to arrange at the Grantor’s expense an audit of the above PPSA procedures. The Secured Party may ask the Grantor to do this if it reasonably suspects that the Grantor is not complying with this clause.

15.3 Costs of further steps and undertaking

Everything the Grantor is required to do under this clause 15 is at the Grantor’s expense. The Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the costs and expenses of the Secured Party in connection with anything the Grantor is required to do under this clause 15.

15.4 Exclusion of PPSA provisions

To the extent the law permits:

(a) for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA:

(i) the Secured Party need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4); and

(ii) sections 142 and 143 are excluded;

(b) for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA, the Secured Party need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3); and

(c) if the PPSA is amended after the date of this document to permit the Grantor and the Secured Party to agree not to comply with or to exclude other provisions of the PPSA, the Secured Party may notify the Grantor that any of those provisions is excluded, or that the Secured Party need not comply with any of those provisions, as notified to the Grantor by the Secured Party.

15.5 Exercise of rights by Secured Party

If the Secured Party exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with this document, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA unless the Secured Party states otherwise at the time of exercise. However, this clause does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the PPSA.

15.6 No notice required unless mandatory

To the extent the law permits, the Grantor waives:

(a) its rights to receive any notice that is required by:

(i) any provision of the PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement); or

(ii) any other law before the Secured Party or a Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy; and

(b) any time period that must otherwise lapse under any law before the Secured Party or Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy.

If the law which requires a period of notice or a lapse of time cannot be excluded, but the law provides that the period of notice or lapse of time may be agreed, that period or lapse is one day or the minimum period the law allows to be agreed (whichever is the longer).

However, nothing in this clause prohibits the Secured Party or any Receiver from giving a notice under the PPSA or any other law.

The Grantor must obtain the Secured Party's consent before authorising the disclosure of information under section 275(7)(c) or requesting information under section 275(7)(d). Nothing in this paragraph prevents any disclosure by the Secured Party that it believes is necessary to comply with its other obligations under the PPSA.

(c) To the extent that it is not inconsistent with clause 15.7(b) constituting a ‘confidentiality agreement’ for the purposes of section 275(6)(a), the Grantor agrees that the Secured Party may disclose information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1) to the extent that the Secured Party is not doing so in response to a request made by an ‘interested person’ (as defined in section 275(9)) pursuant to section 275(1).

15.8 PPS Security Interests

(c) To the extent that any such PPS Security Interest is over personal property of a type referred to in section 340(5) of the PPSA, the Grantor must do anything required by the Secured Party to enable it to control (as defined in the PPSA) that property for the purposes of section 340(2)(b) of the PPSA.

15.9 Authority to register and waiver of right to receive verification statements

The Grantor acknowledges that the Secured Party may, at the Grantor's cost, register one or more financing statements, or give any notification, in relation to any PPS Security Interest provided for by this document.

For the purposes of section 153 of the PPSA, the Secured Party appoints the Grantor as its nominee, and authorises the Grantor to act on its behalf, in connection with a registration under the PPSA of any security interest in favour of the Grantor which is:

(a) evidenced or created by chattel paper;

(b) perfected by registration under the PPSA; and

(c) transferred to the Secured Party under this document.

This authority ceases when the registration is transferred to the Secured Party.

15.11 Other rights

Where the Secured Party has rights, powers, remedies and discretions in addition to, or existing separately from, those in Chapter 4 of the PPSA, those rights, powers, remedies and discretions will continue to apply and are not limited or excluded (or otherwise adversely affected) by the PPSA. This is despite clause 15.4 or any other provisions of a Finance Document.

The Grantor releases the Secured Party in respect of any claim they would otherwise have in respect of such disclosure.

2.1 Security interest

To secure the punctual payment of the Secured Money and the punctual performance of the Secured Obligations, the Grantor grants to the Secured Party a security interest in and over all Secured Property. The Grantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Money extends to any amounts (including damages) which may be payable, owing but not payable, or that otherwise remain unpaid, to the Secured Party by any of GFN, the Grantor, GFN Finance and GFN USA Holdings, each being Related Bodies Corporate of the Grantor, and the Grantor obtains a direct or indirect benefit as a result of same.

2.2 Nature of security interest

(a) The security interest in clause 2.1 is:

(i) a transfer by way of security of Secured Property consisting of accounts and chattel paper (each as defined in the PPSA) which are not, or cease to be, Revolving Assets; and

(ii) a charge in and over all Secured Property to the extent the Secured Property is not transferred.

(b) The charge referred to in clause 2.2(a)(ii) is a floating charge over Revolving Assets and a fixed charge over all other Secured Property to the extent the Secured Property is not transferred.

2.3 Scope of security interest

For the purposes of section 20(2)(b) of the PPSA (but without limiting the meaning of “Secured Property” in this document), the Security granted in clause  2.1 is in and over all the Grantor's present and after-acquired property (as defined in the PPSA). This clause does not limit clause 2.1.

2.4 Obligations not transferred

The Grantor will at all times be and remain liable to perform and comply with all of its obligations in connection with any Secured Property despite any grant of any security interest in clause 2.1 being or operating as a transfer by way of security. The Secured Party will not have any liability or obligation to perform or comply with any of those obligations.

2.5 Priority

(a) Each Security granted in clause 2.1 is intended to take effect as a first ranking security subject only to any Security mandatorily preferred by law and any Permitted Security which the Secured Party agrees in writing ranks in priority to it.

(b) Nothing in this document restricts the Secured Party from claiming that a Security granted under this document is a purchase money security interest in respect of all or part of the Secured Property.

2.6 No postponement of attachment

Nothing in this document may be taken as an agreement that the PPS Security Interest granted in clause 2.1 attaches later than the time contemplated by section 19(2) of the PPSA.

2.7 Acknowledgment of no subordination

The Grantor acknowledges that the Secured Party does not agree and has not agreed to subordinate its Security in the Secured Property to any other interest in the Secured Property, except to the extent (if any) expressly provided by a Finance Document.

2.8 Contemporaneous Security

The Grantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Party has the benefit of each of the Pledge Agreements and the Guarantee, which documents may secure some or all of the same obligations which are the subject of this Deed. No enforcement or attempted enforcement in any jurisdiction of any or all of the Pledge Agreements or the Guarantee at any time will in any way act as a waiver of any of the Secured Party's rights pursuant to this Deed and, to the extent permitted by law, the Secured Party may seek to enforce its rights under this Deed, the Pledge Agreements and/or the Guarantee contemporaneously.

15. Personal Property Securities Act

15.1 PPSA Further steps

If the Secured Party determines that a Finance Document (or a transaction in connection with it) is or contains a security interest for the purposes of the PPSA, the Grantor agrees to do anything (such as obtaining consents, signing and producing documents, getting documents completed and signed and supplying information) which the Secured Party asks and considers necessary for the purposes of:

(a) providing more effective security over the property subject to the security interest for payment of the Secured Money or performance of the Secured Obligations; or

(b) ensuring that the security interest is enforceable, perfected (including, where possible, by control (as defined in the PPSA) in addition to registration) and otherwise effective; or

(c) enabling the Secured Party to apply for any registration, or give any notification, in connection with the security interest so that the security interest has the priority required by the Secured Party; or

(d) enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights in connection with the security interest or the property subject to the security interest.

15.2 PPSA undertaking

If the Grantor holds any security interests for the purposes of the PPSA, the Grantor agrees to promptly take all reasonable steps which are prudent for its business under or in relation to the PPSA, including doing anything reasonably requested by the Secured Party for that purpose, and to implement, maintain and comply in all material respects with procedures for the perfection of those security interests. These procedures must include procedures designed to ensure that the Grantor takes all steps under the PPSA to perfect continuously any such security interest including all steps necessary:

(a) for the Grantor to obtain the highest ranking priority possible in respect of the security interest (such as perfecting a purchase money security interest or perfecting a security interest by control (as defined in the PPSA)); and

(b) to reduce as far as possible the risk of a third party acquiring an interest free of the security interest (such as including the serial number in a financing statement for personal property that may or must be described by a serial number).

If the Secured Party asks, the Grantor agrees to arrange at the Grantor’s expense an audit of the above PPSA procedures. The Secured Party may ask the Grantor to do this if it reasonably suspects that the Grantor is not complying with this clause.

15.3 Costs of further steps and undertaking

(a) for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA:

(i) the Secured Party need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4); and

(ii) sections 142 and 143 are excluded;

(b) for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA, the Secured Party need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3); and

15.5 Exercise of rights by Secured Party

If the Secured Party exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with this document, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA unless the Secured Party states otherwise at the time of exercise. However, this clause does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the PPSA.

(a) its rights to receive any notice that is required by:

(i) any provision of the PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement); or

(ii) any other law before the Secured Party or a Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy; and

(b) any time period that must otherwise lapse under any law before the Secured Party or Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy.

If the law which requires a period of notice or a lapse of time cannot be excluded, but the law provides that the period of notice or lapse of time may be agreed, that period or lapse is one day or the minimum period the law allows to be agreed (whichever is the longer).

However, nothing in this clause prohibits the Secured Party or any Receiver from giving a notice under the PPSA or any other law.

The Grantor must obtain the Secured Party's consent before authorising the disclosure of information under section 275(7)(c) or requesting information under section 275(7)(d). Nothing in this paragraph prevents any disclosure by the Secured Party that it believes is necessary to comply with its other obligations under the PPSA.

(c) To the extent that it is not inconsistent with clause 15.7(b) constituting a ‘confidentiality agreement’ for the purposes of section 275(6)(a), the Grantor agrees that the Secured Party may disclose information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1) to the extent that the Secured Party is not doing so in response to a request made by an ‘interested person’ (as defined in section 275(9)) pursuant to section 275(1).

(a) evidenced or created by chattel paper;

(b) perfected by registration under the PPSA; and

(c) transferred to the Secured Party under this document.

This authority ceases when the registration is transferred to the Secured Party.

15.11 Other rights

Where the Secured Party has rights, powers, remedies and discretions in addition to, or existing separately from, those in Chapter 4 of the PPSA, those rights, powers, remedies and discretions will continue to apply and are not limited or excluded (or otherwise adversely affected) by the PPSA.

Exhibit E

BOARD OBSERVER AGREEMENT

This BOARD OBSERVER AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made effective as of [________, 2017], by General Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and Bison Capital Partners V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Investor”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Investor dated the date hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor has agreed to purchase from the Company, that certain Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of USD $26,000,000 (the “Convertible Note”) and a Senior Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of USD $54,000,000 (the “Senior Note” and collectively with the Convertible Note, the “Notes”); and

WHEREAS, as an inducement to the Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement and purchase the Notes, the Company desires to provide the Investor with certain observation rights regarding the Company's board of directors (the “Board”) and committees thereof (“Committees”), as further described, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth, herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Observer Rights.

1.1 One representative of Investor (the “Observer”) shall have the right to attend all meetings (including telephonic or videoconference meetings) of the Board and all Committees in a non-voting, observer capacity; provided however, that (i) the Observer shall not be present for or participate in any meetings of the Board held in executive session of independent directors other than Investor or as provided in Section 1.4 hereof and (ii) that Observer shall have executed and delivered to the Company a copy of the Acknowledgement and Agreement to be Bound in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Acknowledgement”). The Observer may participate fully in discussions of all matters brought to the Board or Committee, as the case may be, for consideration, but in no event shall the Observer (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board or any Committee; (ii) without limitation of the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Acknowledgement, have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company or its stockholders; or (iii) have the right to propose or offer any motions or resolutions to the Board or Committees. Upon request, the Company shall allow the Observer to attend Board or Committee meetings by telephone or electronic communication. The presence of the Observer shall not be required for purposes of establishing a quorum.

1.2 In addition to the foregoing, two representatives (“Representatives”) designated by Investor and approved by the Company in its sole discretion, shall have the right to participate in all meetings of the Board by telephone in a non-voting, observer capacity; provided however, that (i) the Representatives shall not be present for or participate in any meetings of the Board held in executive session of independent directors or as provided in Section 1.4 hereof and (ii) each Representative shall have executed and delivered to the Company the Acknowledgement.

1.3 The Company shall provide to the Observer (who may share with the Representatives) copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to Board members except materials that relate to executive sessions of the Board (collectively, “Board Materials”), including any draft versions, proposed written consents, and exhibits and annexes to any such materials, at the same time and in the same manner as such information is delivered to the Board members.

1.4 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may exclude the Observer and the Representatives from access to any Board Materials, meeting or portion thereof if the Board concludes, acting in good faith, that (i) such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client or work product privilege between the Company or its affiliate and its counsel (provided, however, that any such exclusion shall only apply to such portion of such material or meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege); (ii) such Board Materials or discussion relates to the Company's or its affiliates' relationship, contractual or otherwise, with the Investor or its affiliates or any actual or potential transactions between or involving the Company or its affiliates and the Investor or its affiliates; or (iii) such exclusion is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest or disclosure that is restricted by any agreement to which the Company or any of its affiliates is a party or otherwise bound.

 2. Confidential Information.

2.1 To the extent that any information obtained by the Observer and the Representatives from the Company (or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof) is Confidential Information (as defined below), the Investor and the Representatives shall, and shall cause the Observer and the Representatives to, treat any such Confidential Information as confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Section 2.

2.2 As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all information or data concerning the Company or its affiliates, whether in verbal, visual, written, electronic or other form, which is disclosed to the Observer and/or the Representatives by the Company or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (including all Board Material that is non-public information), together with all information discerned from, based on or relating to any of the foregoing which may be prepared or created by the Observer, either Representative or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors (each, a “Representative Party”); provided, however, that “Confidential Information” shall not include information that:

(a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure of such information by the Investor, any of its affiliates, any of the Representative Parties, or the Observer;

(b) is independently developed by the Investor, any of its affiliates, any of the Representative Parties, or the Observer without use of Confidential Information provided by the Company or by any director, officer, employee or agent thereof;

(c) becomes available to the recipient of such information at any time on a non-confidential basis from a third party that is not, to the recipient's knowledge, prohibited from disclosing such information to the Investor or any of its affiliates, any of the respective Representative Parties, or the Observer by any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the Company; or

(d) was known by the Investor, any of its affiliates, or the Observer prior to receipt from the Company or from any director, officer, employee or agent thereof.

2.3 The Investor shall, and shall cause the Observer and the Representatives to (a) retain all Confidential Information in strict confidence; (b) not release or disclose Confidential Information in any manner to any other person (other than disclosures to the Investor, its affiliates or to any of its or their Representative Parties who (i) have a need to know such information; and (ii) are informed of its confidential nature); and (c) use the Confidential Information solely in connection with (i) the Investor's, Observer's and the Representatives’ rights hereunder; or (ii) monitoring, reviewing and analyzing the Investor's investment in the Notes and not for any other purpose; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent the Investor, the Observer, the Representatives, their respective affiliates or any of their respective Representative Parties is compelled to disclose Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process, pursuant to the advice of its counsel, pursuant to the exercise of rights under the Purchase Agreement or the Related Agreements (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or by requirements of law; provided, further, however, that, if legally permissible, prior written notice of such disclosure shall be given to the Company so that the Company may take action, at its expense, to prevent such disclosure and any such disclosure is limited only to that portion of the Confidential Information which such person is compelled to disclose.

2.4 The Investor, on behalf of itself and the Observer and the Representatives, acknowledges that the Confidential Information is proprietary to the Company and may include trade secrets or other business information the disclosure of which could harm the Company. None of the Investor, the Observer, the Representative, any of their respective affiliates or their Representative Parties shall, by virtue of the Company's disclosure of, or such person's use of any Confidential Information, acquire any rights with respect thereto, all of which rights (including intellectual property rights) shall remain exclusively with the Company. The Investor shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 2 by the Observer, the Representatives, any of their affiliates or the Representative Parties.

2.5 The Investor agrees that, upon the request of the Company following a Termination (as defined below)], it will (and will cause the Observer, the Representatives, their affiliates and their Representative Parties to) promptly (a) return or destroy, at the Company's option, all physical materials containing or consisting of Confidential Information and all hard copies thereof in their possession or control; and (b) destroy all electronically stored Confidential Information in its possession or control; provided, however, that each of the Investor, the Representatives, their affiliates and the Representative Parties may retain any electronic or written copies of Confidential Information as may be (i) stored on its electronic records or storage system resulting from automated back-up systems; (ii) required by law, other regulatory requirements, or internal document retention policies; or (iii) contained in board presentations or minutes of board meetings of the Investor, each of the Representatives or their respective affiliates; provided, further, however, that any such retained Confidential Information shall remain subject to this Section 2.

 3. Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse the Investor promptly for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Observer's attendance at Board and Committee meetings; provided that (i) all reimbursements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 3 shall be payable in accordance with and subject to the Company's policies and practices with respect to director expense reimbursement then in effect; and (ii) in no event will the Company's expense reimbursement obligations pursuant to this Section 3 exceed an amount equal to $2,500 in any 12-month period. Observer shall not be paid any Company directors fees.

 4. Indemnification; Advancement of Expenses. The Observer and the Representatives shall be entitled to advancement of expenses and rights to indemnification from the Company to the same extent provided by the Company to its directors under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses constitute third-party rights extended to the Observer and the Representatives by the Company and do not constitute rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses as a result of the Observer or the Representatives serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company.

5. Notices. Notices are to be delivered in writing, in the case of the Company, to 00 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile (000) 000-0000, Electronic mail: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Attention: General Counsel, in the case of the Investor, to 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile (000) 000-0000, Electronic mail: xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, or to such other address as may be given by each party from time to time under this Section. Notices shall be deemed properly given upon personal delivery, the day following deposit by overnight carrier, three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, upon delivery by facsimile with proof of receipt or by electronic mail with proof of receipt.

6. Miscellaneous Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties regarding the matters set out in this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived, except in a writing signed by the parties hereto. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Investor. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and if any restriction in this Agreement is found by a court to be unreasonable or unenforceable, then such court may amend or modify the restriction so it can be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by electronic signature in any number of counterparts, each of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist on strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be construed as a waiver or deprive such party of the right to thereafter insist on strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

 7. Remedies. The Company, on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand, each acknowledge and agree that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by it and that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach hereof, (a) the non-breaching party shall have the right to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without proof of actual damages; (b) the breaching party will not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; and (c) the breaching party agrees to waive any applicable right or requirement that a bond be posted by the non-breaching party. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies that may be available to the non-breaching party at law or in equity.

 8. Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement, and any and all claims, controversies and causes of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort or statute, shall be governed by the laws of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws rule that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. Each party (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in New Castle County, Delaware; (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; and (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or otherwise in any court other than the courts located in New Castle County, Delaware or in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

9. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect (a “Termination”) upon the date that all amounts due under the Notes are paid in full; provided, that Sections 2, 3 (to the extent the Investor is entitled to reimbursement for costs incured prior to Termination), 4, 6, 7, 8, this Section 9, and Section 10 shall survive any such termination or expiration.

10. Effect of Purchase Agreement and Related Agreements on this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any terms or conditions in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or be deemed to limit in any way any of the rights of the Investor, its affiliates, or the Representative Parties under the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement (excluding this Agreement), including, but not limited to, any such actions or rights that any of them may be entitled to take with respect to any Confidential Information. In the event that anything in this Agreement would be deemed to limit in any way any rights of the Investor, its affiliates, or the Representative Parties under the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement (excluding this Agreement), then the Purchase Agreement and/or such Related Agreements, as applicable, shall govern such rights and such rights shall not be deemed to be limited by this Agreement in any way.

GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY (with all of its modifications, supplements, restatements, extensions, and renewals in effect from time to time, this “Guaranty”), dated as of _________, 2017, is made by (a) GFN U.S. AUSTRALASIA HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“GFN (US)”), and (b) each other Person that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 40 of this Guaranty (each an “Additional Guarantor” and collectively, “Additional Guarantors”, and together with GFN (US) each a “Guarantor” and collectively, “Guarantors”), in favor of Beneficiary (as defined below).

RECITALS

GFN ASIA PACIFIC HOLDINGS PTY LTD., an Australian corporation (“Holdings”), GFN ASIA PACIFIC FINANCE PTY LTD., an Australian corporation (“Finance”), GENERAL FINANCE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“GFN” and together with Holdings and Finance, each a “Company” and collectively, “Companies”) and GFN(US) intend to enter into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of even date herewith (with all of its modifications, supplements, restatements, extensions, and renewals in effect from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) with BISON CAPITAL PARTNERS V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Purchaser”). The Purchase Agreement, among other things, sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Companies have agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser has agreed to purchase, the Notes. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by GFN(US) are conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged, Guarantors covenant and agree as follows:

1. All capitalized terms used in this Guaranty without separate definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. As used herein, “Beneficiary” means Purchaser.

2. Guarantors jointly and severally, unconditionally and absolutely guarantee to Beneficiary, and to Beneficiary’s successors and assigns, payment when due, whether by stated maturity, demand, acceleration or otherwise, of all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations to Beneficiary of the Companies or any successors in interest, including, without limitation, any debtors-in-possession or trustees in bankruptcy which succeeds to the interest of either Company or any of their respective successors in interest (each an “Obligor” and collectively “Obligors”), however this indebtedness and obligations has been or may be incurred or evidenced, whether absolute or contingent, direct or indirect, voluntary or involuntary, liquidated or unliquidated, joint or several, and whether or not known to any Guarantor at the time of this Guaranty or at the time any future indebtedness or obligations are incurred (collectively, the “Indebtedness”). The Indebtedness guaranteed includes, without limitation: (a) any and all direct indebtedness and obligations of Obligors to Beneficiary, whether arising under the Purchase Agreement, any of the Related Agreements or otherwise, including indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and any and all other promissory notes; (b) any and all obligations or liabilities of any Obligor to Beneficiary arising under any guaranty where such Obligor has guaranteed the payment of indebtedness owing to Beneficiary from a third party; (c) any and all obligations or liabilities of any Obligor to Beneficiary arising out of any other agreement by such Obligor including, without limitation, any agreement to indemnify Beneficiary for environmental liability or to clean up hazardous waste; (d) any and all indebtedness, obligations or liabilities for which any Obligor would otherwise be liable to Beneficiary were it not for the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of them by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law or order of any kind, or for any other reason (such indebtedness, obligations or liabilities including, without limitation, (i) liability for interest and attorneys’ fees on, or in connection with, any part of the Indebtedness from and after the filing by or against any Obligor of a bankruptcy petition, whether an involuntary or voluntary bankruptcy case, whether in connection with probate proceedings, on appeal or otherwise, and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with motions for relief from stay, cash collateral motions, nondischargeability motions, preference liability motions, fraudulent conveyance liability motions, fraudulent transfer liability motions and all other motions brought by any Obligor, any Guarantor, Beneficiary or any third party in any way (A) relating to Beneficiary’s rights with respect to any Obligor, any Guarantor, or any third party and/or (B) affecting any collateral securing any obligation owed to Beneficiary by any Obligor, any Guarantor, or any third party); (e) any and all amendments, modifications, renewals and/or extensions of any of the above, including, without limitation, amendments, modifications, renewals and/or extensions which are evidenced by new or additional instruments, documents or agreements; and (f) all costs of collecting the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt and punctual payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection.

3. Guarantors waive notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate or demand payment of any Indebtedness, and diligence in collecting any Indebtedness, and agree that Beneficiary may modify the terms of any Indebtedness, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate, renew or forbear to enforce payment on any or all Indebtedness, or permit any Obligor to incur additional Indebtedness, all without notice to any Guarantor and without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty. Guarantors further waive any and all other notices to which any Guarantor might otherwise be entitled. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the liabilities created by this Guaranty are direct and are not conditioned upon pursuit by Beneficiary of any remedy Beneficiary may have against any Obligor or any other Person or any security. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any part or all of the Indebtedness or any documents evidencing the same, by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law or order of any kind or for any other reason, and no defense or setoff available at any time to any Obligor, shall impair, affect or be a defense or setoff to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty.

4. Guarantors deliver this Guaranty based solely on their independent investigation of the financial condition of Obligors and no Guarantor is relying on any information furnished by Beneficiary. Guarantors assume full responsibility for obtaining any further information concerning each Obligor’s financial condition, the status of the Indebtedness or any other matter which any Guarantor may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time. Guarantors waive any duty on the part of Beneficiary, and agree that no Guarantor is relying upon, or expecting Beneficiary to disclose to any Guarantor, any fact now or later known by Beneficiary, whether relating to the operations or condition of any Obligor, the existence, liabilities or financial condition of any other guarantor of any Indebtedness, the occurrence of any default with respect to the Indebtedness, or otherwise, notwithstanding any effect these facts may have upon any Guarantor’s risk under this Guaranty or any Guarantor’s rights against any Obligor. Guarantors knowingly accept the full range of risk encompassed in this Guaranty, which risk includes, without limitation, the possibility that any Obligor may incur Indebtedness after the financial condition of such Obligor, or its ability to pay its debts as they mature, has deteriorated.

5. Guarantors represent and warrant that: (a) Beneficiary has made no representation to Guarantors as to the creditworthiness of any Obligor; and (b) Guarantors have established adequate means of obtaining from each Obligor on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to such Obligor’s financial condition. Guarantors agree to keep adequately informed of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect the risks of Guarantors under this Guaranty.

6. Each Guarantor grants to Beneficiary a security interest in, and the right of setoff as to, any and all property of such Guarantor now or later in the possession of Beneficiary. Each Guarantor subordinates any claim of any nature that such Guarantor now or later has against any Obligor to and in favor of all Indebtedness and agrees not to accept payment or satisfaction of any claim that such Guarantor now or later may have against any Obligor without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Should any payment, distribution, security, or proceeds, be received by any Guarantor upon or with respect to any claim that such Guarantor now or may later have against any Obligor, such Guarantor shall immediately deliver the same to Beneficiary in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by such Guarantor, where required by Beneficiary) for application on the Indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, and until delivered the same shall be held in trust by such Guarantor as the property of Beneficiary. Each Guarantor further assigns to Beneficiary as collateral for the obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty all claims of any nature that such Guarantor now or later has against any Obligor (other than any claim under a deed of trust or mortgage covering real property) with full right on the part of Beneficiary, in its own name or in the name of such Guarantor, to collect and enforce these claims, until the Indebtedness is irrevocably paid in full.

7. Guarantors agree that no security now or later held by Beneficiary for the payment of any Indebtedness, whether from any Obligor, any other guarantor of any Indebtedness, or otherwise, and whether in the nature of a security interest, pledge, lien, assignment, setoff, suretyship, guaranty, indemnity, insurance or otherwise, shall affect in any manner the unconditional obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty, and Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, without notice to any Guarantor, may release, exchange, enforce and otherwise deal with any such security without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that Beneficiary has no obligation to acquire or perfect any lien on or security interest in any asset(s), whether realty or personalty, to secure payment of the Indebtedness, and Guarantors are not relying upon any asset(s) in which Beneficiary has or may have a lien or security interest for payment of the Indebtedness.

8. Guarantors acknowledge that the effectiveness of this Guaranty is not conditioned on all or any part of the Indebtedness being guaranteed by anyone else.

9. Until the Indebtedness is irrevocably paid in full, Guarantors waive any and all rights to be subrogated to the position of Beneficiary or to have the benefit of any lien, security interest or other guaranty now or later held by Beneficiary for the Indebtedness or to enforce any remedy which Beneficiary now or later has against any Obligor or any other Person. Until the Indebtedness is irrevocably paid in full, Guarantors shall have no right of reimbursement, indemnity, contribution or other right of recourse to or with respect to any Obligor, each other Guarantor or any other Person. Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any Guarantor’s exercise of any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnification or recourse with respect to this Guaranty. Beneficiary has no duty to enforce or protect any rights which any Guarantor may have against any Obligor or any other Person and each Guarantor assumes full responsibility for enforcing and protecting these rights.

10. Notwithstanding any provision of the preceding paragraph or anything else in this Guaranty to the contrary, if any Guarantor is or becomes an “insider” or “affiliate” (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, as it may be amended) of any Obligor, then such Guarantor irrevocably and absolutely waives any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnification, recourse, reimbursement and any similar rights against such Obligor (or any other guarantor of any Indebtedness) with respect to this Guaranty, whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law, unless and until the Indebtedness is irrevocably paid in full. It is the intention of the parties that such Guarantor shall not be (or be deemed to be) a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, as it may be amended) of such Obligor (or any other guarantor of any Indebtedness) by reason of the existence of this Guaranty in the event that such Obligor becomes a debtor in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. This waiver is given to induce Beneficiary to enter into certain written contracts with Obligors with respect to the Indebtedness. Guarantors warrant and agree that none of Beneficiary’s rights, remedies or interests shall be directly or indirectly impaired because of any Guarantor’s status as an “insider” or “affiliate” of any Obligor, and each Guarantor shall take any action, and shall execute any document, which Beneficiary may request in order to effectuate this warranty to Beneficiary.

11. If any Indebtedness is guaranteed by two or more Guarantors, the obligation of each Guarantor shall be several and also joint, each with all and also each with any one or more of the others, and may be enforced at the option of Beneficiary against each severally, any two or more jointly, or some severally and some jointly. Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may release any one or more of Guarantors for any consideration which it deems adequate, and may fail or elect not to prove a claim against the estate of any bankrupt, insolvent, incompetent or deceased Guarantor; and after that, without notice to any other Guarantor, Beneficiary may extend or renew any or all Indebtedness and may permit Obligors to incur additional Indebtedness, without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligations of the remaining Guarantors. This action by Beneficiary shall not, however, be deemed to affect any right to contribution which may exist among Guarantors.

12. In the event that, notwithstanding the waivers given herein, any Guarantor may lawfully terminate its obligation under this Guaranty as to future Indebtedness (except as provided below), such Guarantor may do so by (and only by) delivering written notice of such termination to an officer of Beneficiary and receiving from an officer of Beneficiary written acknowledgement of such delivery; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the opening of business on the fifth (5th) day following written acknowledgement of such delivery. Any such termination shall not affect in any way the unconditional obligations of any other Guarantor, whether or not such termination is known to such Guarantor. Likewise, any such termination shall not affect in any way the unconditional obligations of the terminating Guarantor as to any Indebtedness existing at the effective date of such termination or any Indebtedness created thereafter pursuant to any commitment or agreement of Beneficiary, or any loan by Beneficiary to any Obligor, existing at the effective date of such termination (whether advances or readvances by Beneficiary are optional or obligatory), or any modifications, extensions or renewals of any of such Indebtedness, whether in whole or in part, and as to all of such Indebtedness and modifications, extensions or renewals thereof, this Guaranty shall continue effective until the same shall have been fully paid. Beneficiary has no duty to give notice of termination by any Guarantor to any remaining Guarantor. Guarantors shall indemnify Beneficiary against all claims, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any suit, claim or action against Beneficiary arising out of any modification or termination of any loan by Beneficiary to any Obligor or any refusal by Beneficiary to extend additional credit in connection with the termination of any obligations under this Guaranty.

13. Guarantors’ obligations under this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the Indebtedness is fully paid, performed and discharged and Beneficiary gives Guarantors written notice of that fact. Notwithstanding any prior revocation, termination, surrender or discharge of this Guaranty (or of any lien, pledge or security interest securing this Guaranty) in whole or in part, the effectiveness of this Guaranty, and of all liens, pledges and security interests securing this Guaranty, shall automatically continue or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that (a) any payment received or credit given by Beneficiary in respect of the Indebtedness is returned, disgorged or rescinded as a preference, impermissible setoff, fraudulent conveyance, diversion of trust funds, or otherwise under any applicable state or federal law, including, without limitation, laws pertaining to bankruptcy or insolvency, in which case this Guaranty, and all liens, pledges and security interests securing this Guaranty, shall be enforceable against Guarantors as if the returned, disgorged or rescinded payment or credit had not been received or given by Beneficiary, whether or not Beneficiary relied upon this payment or credit or changed its position as a consequence of it; or (b) any liability is imposed, or sought to be imposed, against Beneficiary relating to the environmental condition of, or the presence of hazardous or toxic substances on, in or about, any property given as collateral to Beneficiary by any Obligor, whether this condition is known or unknown, now exists or subsequently arises (excluding only conditions which arise after any acquisition by Beneficiary of any such property by foreclosure, in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, to the extent due to the wrongful act or omission of Beneficiary), in which case this Guaranty, and all liens, pledges and security interests securing this Guaranty, shall be enforceable against Guarantors to the extent of all liability, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Beneficiary as the direct or indirect result of any such environmental condition or hazardous or toxic substances. In the event of any continuation or reinstatement of this Guaranty and the liens, pledges and security interests securing it, Guarantors agree upon demand by Beneficiary to execute and deliver to Beneficiary those documents which Beneficiary reasonably determines are appropriate to further evidence (in the public records or otherwise) this continuation or reinstatement, although the failure of Guarantors to do so shall not affect in any way such reinstatement or continuation. If any Guarantor does not execute and deliver to Beneficiary upon demand such documents, Beneficiary and each officer of Beneficiary is irrevocably appointed (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Guarantor (with full power of substitution) to execute and deliver such documents in the name and on behalf of such Guarantor. For purposes of this Guaranty, “environmental condition” includes, without limitation, conditions existing with respect to the surface or ground water, drinking water supply, land surface or subsurface and the air; and “hazardous or toxic substances” shall include any and all substances now or subsequently determined by any federal, state or local authority to be hazardous or toxic, or otherwise regulated by any of these authorities.

14. Guarantors waive any right to require Beneficiary to: (a) proceed against any Person, including, without limitation, any Obligor; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Obligor or any other Person; (c) pursue any other remedy in Beneficiary’s power; or (d) make any presentments or demands for performance, or give any notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, or notices of dishonor in connection with (i) any obligations or evidences of Indebtedness held by Beneficiary as security, (ii) any other obligations or evidences of indebtedness which constitute in whole or in part the Indebtedness, or (iii) the creation of new or additional Indebtedness.

15. Guarantors authorize Beneficiary, either before or after any termination of obligations under this Guaranty as contemplated by Section 12, without notice to or demand on any Guarantor and without affecting any Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, from time to time to: (a) apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including, without limitation, a nonjudicial sale permitted by or, if applicable, pursuant to the terms of the controlling security agreement, mortgage or deed of trust, as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine; (b) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or any other guarantors of any Indebtedness; and (c) apply payments received by Beneficiary from any Obligor to any indebtedness of such Obligor to Beneficiary, in such order as Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion, whether or not such indebtedness is covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantors waive any provision of law regarding application of payments which specifies otherwise. Beneficiary may without notice assign this Guaranty in whole or in part. Upon Beneficiary’s request, each Guarantor agrees to provide to Beneficiary copies of each Guarantor’s financial statements as and when any Obligor is required to provide copies of its financial statements under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

16. Guarantors waive any defense based upon or arising by reason of: (a) any disability or other defense of any Obligor or any other Person; (b) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than final and irrevocable payment in full of the Indebtedness; (c) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or any other Person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any Obligor which is a corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of any Obligor; (d) the application by any Obligor of the proceeds of any Indebtedness for purposes other than the purposes represented by such Obligor to Beneficiary or intended or understood by Beneficiary or any Guarantor; (e) any act or omission by Beneficiary which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any Obligor or any Indebtedness by operation of law or otherwise; or (f) any modification of the Indebtedness, in any form whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any renewal, extension, acceleration, forbearance or other change in time for payment of any Indebtedness, and (ii) any other change in the terms of the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, increase or decrease of the interest rate or the amount of the Indebtedness.

17. Guarantors waive any and all rights and defenses based upon California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, and any successor sections thereto, including but not limited to any provision thereof that: (i) may limit the time period for Beneficiary to commence a lawsuit against Obligor or Guarantors to collect any Indebtedness owing by Obligor or Guarantors to Beneficiary; (ii) may entitle Obligor or Guarantors to a judicial or nonjudicial determination of any deficiency owed by such Obligor or Guarantors to Beneficiary, or to otherwise limit Beneficiary’s right to collect a deficiency based on the fair market value of any real property securing the Indebtedness; (iii) may limit Beneficiary’s right to collect a deficiency judgment after a sale of any real property securing the Indebtedness; (iv) may require Beneficiary to take only one action to collect the Indebtedness or that may otherwise limit the remedies available to Beneficiary to collect the Indebtedness. Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Guaranty, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Indebtedness is at any time secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) Beneficiary may collect from Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Obligor; and (ii) if Beneficiary forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Obligor: (A) the amount of the Indebtedness may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Beneficiary may collect from Guarantors even if Beneficiary, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantors may have to collect from Obligor. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantors may have because any of the Indebtedness is at any time secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

Each Guarantor understands that, absent this waiver, Beneficiary’s election of remedies, including but not limited to its decision to proceed to nonjudicial foreclosure on any real property securing the Indebtedness, could preclude Beneficiary from obtaining a deficiency judgment against Obligor and such Guarantor pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 and could also destroy any subrogation rights which such Guarantor has against Obligor. Each Guarantor further understands that, absent this waiver, California law, including, without limitation, California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, could afford Guarantors one or more affirmative defenses to any action maintained by Beneficiary against Guarantors on this Guaranty.

18. Guarantors waive all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Beneficiary even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, may destroy Guarantors’ rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Obligor by the operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

19. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT SUCH WAIVER IS PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, BENEFITS, DEFENSES TO PAYMENT OR PERFORMANCE, OR ANY RIGHT TO PARTIAL OR COMPLETE EXONERATION ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY UNDER ANY ONE OR MORE OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 2787 TO 2855, INCLUSIVE, 2899 AND 3433, AND ALL SUCCESSOR SECTIONS.

20. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that Guarantors’ waivers herein are knowing and informed waivers of Guarantors’ rights as discussed above, and that Beneficiary is relying on such waivers in extending credit to Obligors.

21. Guarantors acknowledge that Beneficiary has the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of the Indebtedness and any related obligations, including, without limitation, this Guaranty. In connection with that right, Beneficiary may disclose any documents and information which Beneficiary now or later acquires relating to any Guarantor and this Guaranty, whether furnished by any Obligor, any Guarantor or otherwise. Guarantors further agree that Beneficiary may disclose these documents and information to any Obligor. Guarantors agree that Beneficiary may provide information relating to this Guaranty or to such Guarantors to Beneficiary’s parent, affiliates, subsidiaries and service providers. All disclosures permitted under this Section shall be made subject to arrangements or agreements to hold such documents and information in confidence except for any disclosure required by law or regulation.

22. The total obligation under this Guaranty shall be unlimited, and this obligation shall include any and all costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Beneficiary at any time for any reason in enforcing any of the duties and obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or otherwise incurred by Beneficiary in any way connected with this Guaranty, the Indebtedness or any other guaranty of the Indebtedness (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in any suit involving the conduct of Beneficiary, any Obligor or any Guarantor). All of these costs and expenses shall be payable immediately by Guarantors when incurred by Beneficiary, without demand, and until paid shall bear interest at the highest per annum rate applicable to any of the Indebtedness, but not in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law. Any reference in this Guaranty to attorneys’ fees shall be deemed a reference to fees, charges, costs and expenses of both in-house and outside counsel and paralegals, whether or not a suit or action is instituted, and to court costs if a suit or action is instituted, and whether attorneys’ fees or court costs are incurred at the trial court level, on appeal, in a bankruptcy, administrative or probate proceeding or otherwise. Any reference (a) to this Guaranty being secured by certain collateral shall NOT be deemed to limit the total obligation of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or (b) to this Guaranty being limited in any respect shall NOT be deemed to limit the total obligation of any Guarantor under any prior or subsequent guaranty given by any Guarantor to Beneficiary.

23. Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably waive each and every defense and setoff of any nature which, under principles of guaranty or otherwise, would operate to impair or diminish in any way the obligation of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and acknowledge that each such waiver is by this reference incorporated into each security agreement, collateral assignment, pledge and/or other document entered into by any Guarantor now or later securing this Guaranty and/or the Indebtedness, and acknowledge that as of the date of this Guaranty no such defense or setoff exists. Guarantors acknowledge that the effectiveness of this Guaranty is subject to no conditions of any kind.

24. This Guaranty shall remain effective with respect to successive transactions which shall either continue the Indebtedness, increase or decrease it, or from time to time create new Indebtedness after all or any prior Indebtedness has been satisfied, until this Guaranty is terminated in the manner and to the extent provided above.

25. Guarantors warrant and agree that each of the waivers set forth above are made with each Guarantor’s full knowledge of their significance and consequences, and that under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any of these waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, these waivers shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law.

26. Agency of Companies for each Guarantor. Each Guarantor appoints each Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Guaranty, including (without limitation) the giving and receipt of notices and the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all of the Guarantors acting singly or jointly, or both, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by either Company, whether or not any of the other Guarantors joins therein.

27. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications to be given hereunder shall be made pursuant to Section 15.6 of the Purchase Agreement.

28. Acknowledgement. Guarantors have been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Guaranty and have knowingly and voluntarily entered into this Guaranty in good faith for the purpose of inducing Beneficiary to extend credit or make other financial accommodations to Obligors, and Guarantors acknowledge that the terms of this Guaranty are reasonable. Beneficiary has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty, and the relationship between Beneficiary and Guarantors in connection herewith is solely that of creditor and debtor. No joint venture is created hereby or otherwise exists by virtue of the matters contemplated hereby.

29. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of Guarantors and Beneficiary with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, commitments and understandings between Guarantors and Beneficiary with respect to such subject matter.

30. Amendment and Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Beneficiary in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for in this Guaranty are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to Beneficiary at law, in equity or otherwise. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Guaranty, any waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and any consent to any departure by any party from the terms of any provision of this Guaranty, shall be effective (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by Guarantors and consented to in writing by Beneficiary, and (ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is made or given. No amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Guaranty or any waiver of any such provision or consent to any departure by any party from the terms of any such provision may be made orally. Except where notice is specifically required by this Guaranty, no notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

31. Benefits of this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be for the sole exclusive benefit of Beneficiary and its permitted successors and assigns (each of which is an intended third party beneficiary of this Guaranty).

32. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Guaranty, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired, unless the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall substantially impair the benefits of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. The parties hereto further agree to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision of this Guaranty with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

33. Governing Law. In all respects, including matters of construction, validity and performance, this Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California applicable to Contracts made and performed in that state (without regard to the choice of law or conflicts of law provisions thereof that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction).

34. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that all actions, suits or other proceedings arising under or in connection with this Guaranty or any other Related Agreement shall be tried and litigated in state or federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any and all claims, controversies and disputes arising out of or related to this Guaranty or any other Related Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 34 shall preclude Beneficiary from bringing any action, suit or other proceeding in the courts of any other location where the assets of any member of the Company Group or the Collateral may be found or located or to enforce any judgment or other court order in favor of Beneficiary.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action, suit or other proceeding commenced in any such court, (ii) waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or any objection that such Person may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue and (iii) consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Guarantor hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint or other process issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the address set forth in Section 15.6 of the Purchase Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such Person's actual receipt thereof or 5 days after deposit in the United States mail, proper postage prepaid.

(c) To the extent permitted under Applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction, each member of the Company Group hereby waives, in respect of any such action, suit or other proceeding, the jurisdiction of any other court or courts that now or hereafter, by reason of such Person's present or future domicile, or otherwise, may be available to it.

(d) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

35. Arbitration; Incorporation by Reference. Section 15.13 of the Purchase Agreement is incorporated into this Guaranty by this reference as if such Section was fully set forth herein, and shall apply to this Guaranty and the transactions contemplated hereby.

36. No Strict Construction. No party, nor its counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Guaranty for purposes of construing the provisions of this Guaranty, and all provisions of this Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with their fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party.

37. Headings. The title of and the section and paragraph headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern or affect the interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty.

38. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or email scan with attachment) and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

39. Related Agreement. This Guaranty is one of the Related Agreements referred to in the Purchase Agreement and all provisions in the Purchase Agreement or any other Related Agreement that apply to Related Agreements generally are fully applicable to this Guaranty and are incorporated herein by this reference.

40. Joinder. Any Person may become a Guarantor under and become bound by the terms and conditions of this Guaranty by executing and delivering to the Beneficiary an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A accompanied by such documentation as the Beneficiary may reasonably require to establish the due organization, valid existence and good standing of such Person, its qualification to engage in business in each material jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, its authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty, and the identity, authority and capacity of each director or officer thereof authorized to act on its behalf. Upon delivery of such Instrument of Joinder to and acceptance thereof by the Beneficiary, notice of which acceptance is hereby waived by each Additional Guarantor, each such Additional Guarantor shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereof.

THIS PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of ___________, 2017, is made by GFN ASIA PACIFIC HOLDINGS PTY LTD. (ACN 620127791), an Australian corporation (“Pledgor”), in favor of BISON CAPITAL PARTNERS V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Secured Party”).

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Secured Party agreed to make certain financial accommodations as set forth therein.

As required under Section 7.7(f) of the Purchase Agreement, Pledgor is executing and delivering this Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which Pledgor will pledge the Issuer Interests (defined below) to the Secured Party.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Pledgor hereby agrees with the Secured Party as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms which are defined in the Purchase Agreement and used herein are so used as so defined, and the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Collateral” means all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the following, whether now owned or existing or hereafter arising or acquired, regardless of where any such assets and property are located: (a) all of the Capital Stock (whether now owned or existing or hereafter arising or acquired, whether the same constitutes “general intangibles”, “investment property”, a “security” or other personal property under the UCC, and whether such interest is certificated or uncertificated) in the Issuer, and all securities (as that term is defined in the UCC), if any, issued by the Issuer to Pledgor (the foregoing described property being, the “Issuer Interests”); (b) the certificate(s) or instrument(s) representing the Issuer Interests; (c) all (i) dividends and distributions (in cash, instruments, Capital Stock or otherwise) on all of the Issuer Interests, including Pledgor’s share of the profits and losses of the Issuer, (ii) rights to subscribe for, purchase or sell any or all of the Issuer Interests and (iii) other rights and property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed or distributable, in each case in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Issuer Interests;

(e) all replacements of, additions to and substitutions for any of the foregoing, including all claims against third parties; (f) all cash and non-cash proceeds, interest, profits and other income of or on any of the foregoing described property;

(l) true and complete copies of the Governing Documents have been delivered to the Secured Party, which Governing Documents are currently in full force and effect and have not been amended or modified except as disclosed to the Secured Party in writing.

6. Certain Covenants. Pledgor covenants and agrees with the Secured Party, that, from and after the date of this Pledge Agreement until the Obligations are paid in full:

(a) If Pledgor shall, as a result of its ownership of the Collateral, become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a distribution of any capitalized interest or distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral, or otherwise in respect thereof, Pledgor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Party, hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and deliver the same forthwith to the Secured Party in the exact form received, duly indorsed by Pledgor to the Secured Party, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by Pledgor to be held by the Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. In addition, any sums paid upon or in respect of the Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer shall be held by the Secured Party as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, Pledgor will not (i) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Issuer Interests, except for any sale, assignment, transfer or exchange pursuant to which the Issuer Interests remain subject to the Liens in favor of the Secured Party, (ii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Collateral, or any interest therein, except for the Lien provided for by this Pledge Agreement or (iii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Pledgor or the Secured Party to sell, assign or transfer any Collateral. Pledgor will defend the right, title and interest of the Secured Party in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Secured Party, and at the sole expense of Pledgor, Pledgor will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Secured Party may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Pledge Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or chattel paper shall be promptly delivered to the Secured Party, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Secured Party, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

(d) Pledgor shall deliver all certificates or other documents evidencing or representing the Issuer Interests to the Secured Party, accompanied by undated stock powers covering such certificates duly executed in blank by Pledgor, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party and not later than 2 Business Days after the date of issuance thereof.

7. Cash Distributions; Voting Rights. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Secured Party shall have given notice to Pledgor of the Secured Party’s intent to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 8 below, Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash distributions paid in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Governing Documents in respect of the Collateral and to exercise all voting and other shareholder rights, with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or shareholder right exercised or other action taken which, in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, would impair the security interest granted hereby or which would result in any violation of any provision of the Purchase Agreement, any Governing Document, any other Related Agreement or this Pledge Agreement.

8. Rights of the Secured Party.

(a) Pledgor hereby grants the Secured Party an irrevocable proxy (which irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and, to the extent permitted by law, shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full), such that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Secured Party shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to Pledgor, the Secured Party shall be entitled to exercise all voting powers pertaining to the Collateral at all times during the existence of an Event of Default, including the power to call and attend all meetings of the shareholders of the Issuer to be held from time to time with full power to act and vote in the name, place and stead of Pledgor (whether or not the Collateral shall have been transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees), give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the owner thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Secured Party shall have no duty to Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(b) The rights of the Secured Party hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Party of any right or remedy against Pledgor or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any collateral security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. The Secured Party shall not be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall the Secured Party be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

9. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise all rights and remedies granted in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, and in addition thereto, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing with regard to the scope of the Secured Party’s remedies, the Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Applicable Laws referred to below) to or upon Pledgor, the Issuer or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Secured Party shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in respect thereof or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of counsel thereto, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, and only after such application and after the payment by the Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, Section 9615 of the UCC, need the Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Pledgor waive all claims, damages and demands they may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by Applicable Laws, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

10. Private Sales.

(a) Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Issuer Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Issuer Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer to reorganize and/or register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 10 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other Applicable Laws. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party not compensable in damages, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Purchase Agreement or that the Obligations have been paid in full.

11. Amendments, etc. With Respect to the Obligations. Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder, and the Collateral shall remain subject to the Lien granted hereby, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Pledgor, and without notice to or further assent by Pledgor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Secured Party may be rescinded by the Secured Party, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of Pledgor or any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Secured Party, and the Purchase Agreement, any other Related Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or part, as the Secured Party may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee, right of offset or other collateral security at any time held by the Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any other Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto. Pledgor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Secured Party upon this Pledge Agreement; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement; and all dealings between Pledgor, on the one hand, and the Secured Party, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement. Pledgor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Pledgor with respect to the Obligations.

12. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any receipt of any amounts by the Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral, Pledgor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Secured Party against the Issuer or any guarantor or against any other collateral security held by the Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall Pledgor seek any reimbursement from the Issuer or any guarantor in respect of amounts realized by the Secured Party in connection with the Collateral, until all amounts owing to the Secured Party on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to Pledgor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Pledgor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Pledgor, be turned over to the Secured Party in the exact form received by Pledgor (duly indorsed by the Secured Party, if required) to be held as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

13. Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. The Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar securities and property for its own account. Neither the Secured Party nor any of its partners, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise.

14. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Secured Party to the Obligations, and then to payment to Pledgor or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds. The Secured Party may make distribution hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.

15. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral constitute irrevocable powers coupled with an interest.

16. Severability. If any provision of this Pledge Agreement is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be construed to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

17. Headings. The various headings used in this Pledge Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

18. Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver, etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party set forth in this Pledge Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Secured Party of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the Related Agreements or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Pledge Agreement or any other Related Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Issuer, the Secured Party or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Pledge Agreement or any of the other Related Agreements or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. This Pledge Agreement is a Related Agreement executed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

19. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. No term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Pledge Agreement may be amended or waived, nor may any consent be given, except in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

20. Successor and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement is for the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns (as permitted by the Purchase Agreement), and in the event of an assignment of all or any of the Obligations permitted by the Purchase Agreement, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding on Pledgor and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that Pledgor may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written notice to the Secured Party and compliance with this Pledge Agreement.

21. Governing Law. In all respects, including matters of construction, validity and performance, this Pledge Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and performed in that state (without regard to the choice of law or conflicts of law provisions thereof).

22. Notices. All notices and communications hereunder shall be given to the addresses listed on the signature pages hereto and otherwise in accordance with Section 15.6 of the Purchase Agreement.

23. Control Agreement.

(a) Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs the Issuer to comply, and shall cause the Issuer to comply, with any instruction received thereby from the Secured Party to the extent made in accordance with the terms of this Pledge Agreement with respect to the Collateral, without any consent or further instructions from Pledgor (or other registered owner), and Pledgor agrees that the Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying. The Issuer agrees that its agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall be sufficient to create in favor of the Secured Party, “control” of the Issuer Interests within the meaning of such term under Sections 8-106(c) and 9106 of the UCC to the extent the Issuer Interests constitute “securities” within the meaning of such term under Section 8102(a)(15) of the UCC.

(b) Pledgor represents and warrants that it has delivered a copy of this Pledge Agreement to Issuer. Pledgor shall notify the Secured Party promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 6(c) of this Pledge Agreement.

25. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Pledgor consents and agrees that all actions, suits or other proceedings arising under or in connection with this Pledge Agreement, the Collateral or any other Related Agreement shall be tried and litigated in state or federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any and all claims, controversies and disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Collateral or any other Related Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 25 shall preclude the Secured Party from bringing any action, suit or other proceeding in the courts of any other location where the assets of any member of the Company Group or the Collateral may be found or located or to enforce any judgment or other court order in favor of the Secured Party.

(b) Pledgor hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action, suit or other proceeding commenced in any such court, (ii) waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or any objection that such party may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue and (iii) consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Pledgor hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint or other process issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the address set forth in Section 15.6 of the Purchase Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such party’s actual receipt thereof or 5 days after deposit in the United States mail, proper postage prepaid.

(c) To the extent permitted under Applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction, Pledgor hereby waives, in respect of any such action, suit or other proceeding, the jurisdiction of any other court or courts that now or hereafter, by reason of such party’s present or future domicile, or otherwise, may be available to it.

(d) PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, THE COLLATERAL OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

26. Arbitration; Incorporation by Reference. Section 15.13 of the Purchase Agreement is incorporated into this Pledge Agreement by this reference as if such Section was fully set forth herein, and shall apply to this Pledge Agreement, the Collateral and the transactions contemplated hereby.

27. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by facsimile or electronic mail shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto

28. Perfection and Protection of Security Interest.

(a) Pledgor shall, at its expense, perform all steps requested by Secured Party at any time to perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce Secured Party's Liens granted hereunder, including: (i) filing financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereof, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party; (ii) delivering to Secured Party for the benefit of Secured Party the originals of all Collateral which Secured Party reasonably determines it should have physical possession in order to perfect and protect Secured Party's security interest therein, duly pledged, endorsed or assigned to Secured Party without restriction; (iii) placing notations on Pledgor's books of account to disclose Secured Party's security interest granted hereunder; (iv) obtaining control agreements from securities intermediaries with respect to financial assets in the possession of such securities intermediaries; and (v) taking such other steps as are reasonably deemed necessary or desirable by Secured Party to maintain and protect Secured Party's Liens granted hereunder.

(b) Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Secured Party that, as of the date hereof, Pledgor has no Tort Claims, except as set forth on Schedule II. Grantor shall notify Pledgor on no less than a quarterly basis of any Tort Claims known to such Grantor and which arise following the date hereof and such Tort Claims shall be added to Schedule II.

6. Certain Covenants. Pledgor covenants and agrees with the Secured Party, that, from and after the date of this Pledge Agreement until the Obligations are paid in full:

(a) If Pledgor shall, as a result of its ownership of the Collateral, become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a distribution of any capitalized interest or distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral, or otherwise in respect thereof, Pledgor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Party, hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and deliver the same forthwith to the Secured Party in the exact form received, duly indorsed by Pledgor to the Secured Party, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by Pledgor to be held by the Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. In addition, any sums paid upon or in respect of the Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer shall be held by the Secured Party as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, Pledgor will not (i) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Issuer Interests, except for any sale, assignment, transfer or exchange pursuant to which the Issuer Interests remain subject to the Liens in favor of the Secured Party, (ii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Collateral, or any interest therein, except for the Lien provided for by this Pledge Agreement or (iii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Pledgor or the Secured Party to sell, assign or transfer any Collateral. Pledgor will defend the right, title and interest of the Secured Party in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Secured Party, and at the sole expense of Pledgor, Pledgor will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Secured Party may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Pledge Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or chattel paper shall be promptly delivered to the Secured Party, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Secured Party, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

(d) Pledgor shall deliver all certificates or other documents evidencing or representing the Issuer Interests to the Secured Party, accompanied by undated stock powers covering such certificates duly executed in blank by Pledgor, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party and not later than 2 Business Days after the date of issuance thereof.

7. Cash Distributions; Voting Rights. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Secured Party shall have given notice to Pledgor of the Secured Party’s intent to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 8 below, Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash distributions paid in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Governing Documents in respect of the Collateral and to exercise all voting and other shareholder rights, with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or shareholder right exercised or other action taken which, in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, would impair the security interest granted hereby or which would result in any violation of any provision of the Purchase Agreement, any Governing Document, any other Related Agreement or this Pledge Agreement.

8. Rights of the Secured Party.

(a) Pledgor hereby grants the Secured Party an irrevocable proxy (which irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and, to the extent permitted by law, shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full), such that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Secured Party shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to Pledgor, the Secured Party shall be entitled to exercise all voting powers pertaining to the Collateral at all times during the existence of an Event of Default, including the power to call and attend all meetings of the shareholders of the Issuer to be held from time to time with full power to act and vote in the name, place and stead of Pledgor (whether or not the Collateral shall have been transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees), give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the owner thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Secured Party shall have no duty to Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(b) The rights of the Secured Party hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Party of any right or remedy against Pledgor or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any collateral security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. The Secured Party shall not be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall the Secured Party be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

9. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise all rights and remedies granted in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, and in addition thereto, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing with regard to the scope of the Secured Party’s remedies, the Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Applicable Laws referred to below) to or upon Pledgor, the Issuer or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Secured Party shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in respect thereof or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of counsel thereto, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, and only after such application and after the payment by the Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, Section 9615 of the UCC, need the Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Pledgor waive all claims, damages and demands they may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by Applicable Laws, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

10. Private Sales.

(a) Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Issuer Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Issuer Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer to reorganize and/or register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 10 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other Applicable Laws. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party not compensable in damages, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Purchase Agreement or that the Obligations have been paid in full.

11. Amendments, etc. With Respect to the Obligations. Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder, and the Collateral shall remain subject to the Lien granted hereby, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Pledgor, and without notice to or further assent by Pledgor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Secured Party may be rescinded by the Secured Party, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of Pledgor or any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Secured Party, and the Purchase Agreement, any other Related Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or part, as the Secured Party may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee, right of offset or other collateral security at any time held by the Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any other Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto. Pledgor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Secured Party upon this Pledge Agreement; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement; and all dealings between Pledgor, on the one hand, and the Secured Party, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement. Pledgor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Pledgor with respect to the Obligations.

12. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any receipt of any amounts by the Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral, Pledgor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Secured Party against the Issuer or any guarantor or against any other collateral security held by the Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall Pledgor seek any reimbursement from the Issuer or any guarantor in respect of amounts realized by the Secured Party in connection with the Collateral, until all amounts owing to the Secured Party on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to Pledgor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Pledgor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Pledgor, be turned over to the Secured Party in the exact form received by Pledgor (duly indorsed by the Secured Party, if required) to be held as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

13. Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. The Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar securities and property for its own account. Neither the Secured Party nor any of its partners, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise.

14. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Secured Party to the Obligations, and then to payment to Pledgor or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds. The Secured Party may make distribution hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.

15. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral constitute irrevocable powers coupled with an interest.

16. Severability. If any provision of this Pledge Agreement is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be construed to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

17. Headings. The various headings used in this Pledge Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

18. Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver, etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party set forth in this Pledge Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Secured Party of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the Related Agreements or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Pledge Agreement or any other Related Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Issuer, the Secured Party or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Pledge Agreement or any of the other Related Agreements or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. This Pledge Agreement is a Related Agreement executed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

19. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. No term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Pledge Agreement may be amended or waived, nor may any consent be given, except in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

20. Successor and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement is for the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns (as permitted by the Purchase Agreement), and in the event of an assignment of all or any of the Obligations permitted by the Purchase Agreement, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding on Pledgor and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that Pledgor may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written notice to the Secured Party and compliance with this Pledge Agreement.

21. Governing Law. In all respects, including matters of construction, validity and performance, this Pledge Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and performed in that state (without regard to the choice of law or conflicts of law provisions thereof).

The Issuer agrees that its agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall be sufficient to create in favor of the Secured Party, “control” of the Issuer Interests within the meaning of such term under Sections 8-106(c) and 9106 of the UCC to the extent the Issuer Interests constitute “securities” within the meaning of such term under Section 8102(a)(15) of the UCC.

6. Certain Covenants. Pledgor covenants and agrees with the Secured Party, that, from and after the date of this Pledge Agreement until the Obligations are paid in full:

(a) If Pledgor shall, as a result of its ownership of the Collateral, become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a distribution of any capitalized interest or distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral, or otherwise in respect thereof, Pledgor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Party, hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and deliver the same forthwith to the Secured Party in the exact form received, duly indorsed by Pledgor to the Secured Party, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by Pledgor to be held by the Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. In addition, any sums paid upon or in respect of the Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer shall be held by the Secured Party as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, Pledgor will not (i) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Issuer Interests, except for any sale, assignment, transfer or exchange pursuant to which the Issuer Interests remain subject to the Liens in favor of the Secured Party, (ii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Collateral, or any interest therein, except for the Lien provided for by this Pledge Agreement or (iii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Pledgor or the Secured Party to sell, assign or transfer any Collateral. Pledgor will defend the right, title and interest of the Secured Party in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Secured Party, and at the sole expense of Pledgor, Pledgor will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Secured Party may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Pledge Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or chattel paper shall be promptly delivered to the Secured Party, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Secured Party, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

(d) Pledgor shall deliver all certificates or other documents evidencing or representing the Issuer Interests to the Secured Party, accompanied by undated stock powers covering such certificates duly executed in blank by Pledgor, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party and not later than 2 Business Days after the date of issuance thereof.

7. Cash Distributions; Voting Rights. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Secured Party shall have given notice to Pledgor of the Secured Party’s intent to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 8 below, Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash distributions paid in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Governing Documents in respect of the Collateral and to exercise all voting and other shareholder rights, with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or shareholder right exercised or other action taken which, in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, would impair the security interest granted hereby or which would result in any violation of any provision of the Purchase Agreement, any Governing Document, any other Related Agreement or this Pledge Agreement.

8. Rights of the Secured Party.

(a) Pledgor hereby grants the Secured Party an irrevocable proxy (which irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and, to the extent permitted by law, shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full), such that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Secured Party shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to Pledgor, the Secured Party shall be entitled to exercise all voting powers pertaining to the Collateral at all times during the existence of an Event of Default, including the power to call and attend all meetings of the shareholders of the Issuer to be held from time to time with full power to act and vote in the name, place and stead of Pledgor (whether or not the Collateral shall have been transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees), give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the owner thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Secured Party shall have no duty to Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(b) The rights of the Secured Party hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Party of any right or remedy against Pledgor or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any collateral security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. The Secured Party shall not be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall the Secured Party be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

9. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise all rights and remedies granted in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, and in addition thereto, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing with regard to the scope of the Secured Party’s remedies, the Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Applicable Laws referred to below) to or upon Pledgor, the Issuer or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Secured Party shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in respect thereof or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of counsel thereto, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, and only after such application and after the payment by the Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, Section 9615 of the UCC, need the Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Pledgor waive all claims, damages and demands they may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by Applicable Laws, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

10. Private Sales.

(a) Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Issuer Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Issuer Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer to reorganize and/or register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 10 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other Applicable Laws. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party not compensable in damages, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Purchase Agreement or that the Obligations have been paid in full.

11. Amendments, etc. With Respect to the Obligations. Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder, and the Collateral shall remain subject to the Lien granted hereby, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Pledgor, and without notice to or further assent by Pledgor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Secured Party may be rescinded by the Secured Party, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of Pledgor or any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Secured Party, and the Purchase Agreement, any other Related Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or part, as the Secured Party may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee, right of offset or other collateral security at any time held by the Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any other Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto. Pledgor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Secured Party upon this Pledge Agreement; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement; and all dealings between Pledgor, on the one hand, and the Secured Party, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement. Pledgor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Pledgor with respect to the Obligations.

12. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any receipt of any amounts by the Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral, Pledgor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Secured Party against the Issuer or any guarantor or against any other collateral security held by the Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall Pledgor seek any reimbursement from the Issuer or any guarantor in respect of amounts realized by the Secured Party in connection with the Collateral, until all amounts owing to the Secured Party on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to Pledgor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Pledgor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Pledgor, be turned over to the Secured Party in the exact form received by Pledgor (duly indorsed by the Secured Party, if required) to be held as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

13. Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. The Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar securities and property for its own account. Neither the Secured Party nor any of its partners, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise.

14. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Secured Party to the Obligations, and then to payment to Pledgor or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds. The Secured Party may make distribution hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.

15. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral constitute irrevocable powers coupled with an interest.

16. Severability. If any provision of this Pledge Agreement is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be construed to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

17. Headings. The various headings used in this Pledge Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

18. Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver, etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party set forth in this Pledge Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Secured Party of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the Related Agreements or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Pledge Agreement or any other Related Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Issuer, the Secured Party or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Pledge Agreement or any of the other Related Agreements or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. This Pledge Agreement is a Related Agreement executed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

19. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. No term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Pledge Agreement may be amended or waived, nor may any consent be given, except in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

20. Successor and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement is for the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns (as permitted by the Purchase Agreement), and in the event of an assignment of all or any of the Obligations permitted by the Purchase Agreement, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding on Pledgor and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that Pledgor may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written notice to the Secured Party and compliance with this Pledge Agreement.

21. Governing Law. In all respects, including matters of construction, validity and performance, this Pledge Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and performed in that state (without regard to the choice of law or conflicts of law provisions thereof).

22. Notices. All notices and communications hereunder shall be given to the addresses listed on the signature pages hereto and otherwise in accordance with Section 15.6 of the Purchase Agreement.

23. Control Agreement; Acknowledgement by Issuer.

The Issuer agrees that its agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall be sufficient to create in favor of the Secured Party, “control” of the Issuer Interests within the meaning of such term under Sections 8-106(c) and 9106 of the UCC to the extent the Issuer Interests constitute “securities” within the meaning of such term under Section 8102(a)(15) of the UCC.

(b) The Issuer acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Pledge Agreement and agrees to be bound thereby and to comply with the terms thereof insofar as such terms are applicable to it.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 25 shall preclude the Secured Party from bringing any action, suit or other proceeding in the courts of any other location where the assets of any member of the Company Group or the Collateral may be found or located or to enforce any judgment or other court order in favor of the Secured Party.

(b) The Issuer and the Pledgor each hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action, suit or other proceeding commenced in any such court, (ii) waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or any objection that such party may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue and (iii) consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. The Issuer and the Pledgor each hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint or other process issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the address set forth in Section 15.6 of the Purchase Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such party’s actual receipt thereof or 5 days after deposit in the United States mail, proper postage prepaid.

(c) To the extent permitted under Applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction, Issuer and Pledgor each hereby waives, in respect of any such action, suit or other proceeding, the jurisdiction of any other court or courts that now or hereafter, by reason of such party’s present or future domicile, or otherwise, may be available to it.

(d) ISSUER AND PLEDGOR EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, THE COLLATERAL OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

27. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by facsimile or electronic mail shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto

28. Perfection and Protection of Security Interest.

(a) Pledgor shall, at its expense, perform all steps requested by Secured Party at any time to perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce Secured Party’s Liens granted hereunder, including: (i) filing financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereof, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party; (ii) delivering to Secured Party for the benefit of Secured Party the originals of all Collateral which Secured Party reasonably determines it should have physical possession in order to perfect and protect Secured Party’s security interest therein, duly pledged, endorsed or assigned to Secured Party without restriction; (iii) placing notations on Pledgor’s books of account to disclose Secured Party’s security interest granted hereunder; (iv) obtaining control agreements from securities intermediaries with respect to financial assets in the possession of such securities intermediaries; and (v) taking such other steps as are reasonably deemed necessary or desirable by Secured Party to maintain and protect Secured Party’s Liens granted hereunder.

    (a)  At any time after the date of this Agreement, Investor may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto (each, a “Long-Form Registration”). Each request for a Long-Form Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Long-Form Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to, as applicable) the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto covering all of the Registrable Securities that Investor has requested to be included in such Long-Form Registration as expeditiously as possible (and not later than 30 days after the date on which the initial request is given) and shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company shall not be required to effect a Long-Form Registration more than four times for Investor; provided, that a Registration Statement shall not count as a Long-Form Registration requested under this Section 2(a) unless and until it has become effective and Investor is able to register and sell at least 50% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration.

    (b)  After the Effective Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto. At such time as the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto, Investor shall have the right to request an unlimited number of registrations under the Securities Act of all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any similar short-form Registration Statement (each, a “Short-Form Registration” and, collectively with each Long-Form Registration and Shelf Registration (as defined below), a “Demand Registration”). Each request for a Short-Form Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Short-Form Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to, as applicable) the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto covering all of the Registrable Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Short-Form Registration as expeditiously as possible (and not later than 15 days after the date on which the initial request is given) and shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter.

     (c)  At such time as the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Registration Statement”), Investor shall have the right to request pursuant to a written notice delivered to the Company (a “Shelf Registration Notice”) registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of its Registrable Securities for an offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Registration”). Each request for a Shelf Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Shelf Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to, as applicable) the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Shelf Registration as expeditiously as possible (and not later than 15 days after the date on which the initial request is given) and shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter.

     (d)  The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Long-Form Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Long-Form Registration, or Shelf Takedown or a previous Piggyback Registration in which Investor was permitted to register the offer and sale under the Securities Act, and actually sold, at least 50% of the shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein. The Company may postpone for up to 90 days the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration or the filing of a prospectus supplement (a “Shelf Supplement”) for a Shelf Takedown/a supplement for the purpose of effecting an offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Takedown”) if the Board determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that effecting such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown at such time would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, financing, securities offering or other similar extraordinary transaction involving the Company; or (ii) require disclosure of material information which would be materially adverse to the Company and would not otherwise be required by law; provided, that in such event Investor shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request for a Demand Registration is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown hereunder only once in any period of 12 consecutive months.

    (e)  If Investor elects to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b), Section 2(c) or Section 2(d). Investor shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering, which selection shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

    (f)  The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of Investor. If a Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of the requested Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown advises the Company and Investor in writing (a copy of which shall be provided to Investor) that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in the Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such underwritten offering and/or the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock proposed to be sold in such underwritten offering, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the holders of Registrable Securities propose to sell, and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock proposed to be included therein by any other Persons (including shares of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Company and/or other holders of Common Stock) allocated among such Persons in such manner as they may agree. If the managing underwriter determines that less than all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder.

3.  Piggyback Registration.

    (a)  Whenever the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company and the form of Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Registration Statement”) to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than 30 days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement) to Investor of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 3(b) and Section 3(c), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion from Investor within 15 days after the Company’s notice has been given to Investor. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole discretion. A Piggyback Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2. If any Piggyback Registration Statement pursuant to which holders of Registrable Securities have registered the offer and sale of Registrable Securities is a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement”), Investor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be notified of and to participate in any offering under such Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Shelf Takedown”).

     (b)  If a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and Investor (if Investor has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown) in writing (a copy of which shall be provided to Investor) that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by Investor; and (iii) third, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock other than holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.

    (c)  If a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of Common Stock other than Investor, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing (a copy of which shall be provided to Investor) that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the holder(s) requesting such registration or takedown and Investor, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock other than the Registrable Securities (on a fully diluted, as converted basis) and the number of Registrable Securities, as applicable, owned by Investor or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by other holders of Common Stock, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.

    (d)  If any Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, the Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering. 

4.   Lock-up Agreement. Investor agrees that in connection with any registered offering of the Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company in a primary offering of securities by the Company, and upon the request of the managing underwriter in such offering, such holder shall not, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter, during the period commencing 90 days prior to the effective date of such registration and ending on the date specified by such managing underwriter (such period not to exceed 15 days), (a) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, hedge the beneficial ownership of or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock held immediately before the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for such offering/(whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the holder or are thereafter acquired), or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4 shall not apply to sales of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b), Section 2(c), Section 2(d) or Section 3(a), and shall be applicable to Investor only if all officers and directors of the Company are subject to the same restrictions. Investor agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing underwriter which are necessary to give effect to the foregoing and provided that agreements in substantially the form thereof are also executed by all officers and directors of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, Investor shall be released from any lock-up agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 4 in the event and to the extent that the managing underwriter or the Company permit any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any lock-up agreement pertaining to any officer or director. The foregoing restrictions on Investor in this Section 4 shall not apply to the Investor in the event that the offering contemplated under this Section 4 is pursuant to a “demand” or other registration similar to a Demand Registration at the request of any other equity holder of the Company.

5.  Registration Procedures. If and whenever Investor requests that the offer and sale of any Registrable Securities be registered under the Securities Act or any Registrable Securities be distributed in a Shelf Takedown pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the offer and sale of such Registrable Securities under the Securities Act in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable and as applicable:

    (a)  prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith, and use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective;

    (g)  notify each selling holder of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event that would cause the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit any fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of any such holder, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

    (l)  otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make available to its stockholders an earnings statement (in a form that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the 12-month period beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full fiscal quarter after the effective date of such Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall cover said 12-month period, and which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-K and 10-Q under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto; and

All Selling Expenses relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne and paid by Investor.  

7.  Indemnification.

    (a)  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Investor, Investor’s officers, directors, managers, members, partners, stockholders and Affiliates, each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of Investor and each Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and shall reimburse such Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, action, damage or liability, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same prior to any written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

    (b)  In connection with any registration in which Investor is participating, Investor shall furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding Investor, Investor’s Registrable Securities and Investor’s intended method of disposition as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such Registration Statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf of the holders of Registrable Securities and each Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by Investor; provided, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several and shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting commissions or discounts) actually received by Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability that Investor may otherwise have.

    (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in this Section 7, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not (unless such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the indemnifying party) relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the claims in any such action that are subject or potentially subject to indemnification hereunder, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after written notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that, if (i) any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any indemnified party or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party without such indemnified party’s prior written consent (but, without such consent, shall have the right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person controlling such indemnified Person for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim (and not more than one separate firm of local counsel at any time for all such indemnified parties), unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, Investor shall have a right to retain one separate counsel at its expense of the indemnifying party.

    (d)  If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of Investor, to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting commissions or discounts) actually received by Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 7(d) as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and actions referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No Person guilty or liable of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

8.  Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

9.  Rule 144 Compliance. With a view to making available to Investor the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company shall:

    (a)  make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 at all times;

    (b)  use reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times; and

    (c)  furnish to Investor, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration. 

10.  Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when there shall no longer be any Registrable Securities outstanding; provided, that the provisions of Section 6 and Section 7 shall survive any such termination. 

11.  Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the addresses indicated below (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 13).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and those of the Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

13.  Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company may assign this Agreement at any time in connection with a sale or acquisition of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or similar transaction, without the consent of the Investor; provided, that the successor or acquiring Person agrees in writing to assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Investor may assign its rights hereunder to any purchaser or transferee of Registrable Securities; provided, that such purchaser or transferee shall, as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, be required to execute a counterpart to this Agreement agreeing to be treated as Investor whereupon such purchaser or transferee shall have the benefits of, and shall be subject to the restrictions contained in, this Agreement as if such purchaser or transferee was originally included in the definition of an Investor herein and had originally been a party hereto.

14.  No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the Persons set forth in Section 7 are express third-party beneficiaries of the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in Section 7.

15.  Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

16.  Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived with the prior written consent of the Company and Investor. No waiver by any party or parties shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

17.  Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

18.  Remedies. Investor, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and the Company hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

19.  Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction). Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Delaware in each case located in New Castle County, Delaware and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

21.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

22.  Further Assurances. Each of the parties to this Agreement shall execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

GFN believes that its Offer is compelling and represents the best opportunity for Royal Wolf Shareholders to receive a certain, attractive cash return for an investment that carries certain risks moving forward which are described in this Bidder’s Statement.

The total consideration for the acquisition of Royal Wolf Shares to which the Offer relates will be satisfied wholly in cash.

As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, Royal Wolf has 100,387,052 Royal Wolf Shares on issue.

If acceptances are received in respect of the Royal Wolf Shares on issue as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement (other than those Royal Wolf Shares in which GFN currently has a relevant interest) or if GFN becomes entitled to and exercises the right of compulsory acquisition under the Corporations Act, the amount of cash that GFN would be required to pay under the Offer would be approximately $90 million (Total Consideration), reduced by the cash amount of any Special Dividend that is paid.

 5.2 Sources of cash consideration

The cash consideration of $1.83 per Royal Wolf Share payable under the Offer, less the Special Dividend of $0.0265 per share, will be paid by GFN.

$88.7 million, being the maximum amount of cash that GFN will be required to pay under the Offer, will be obtained from the sale by GFN’s affiliates to Bison of the Notes for the purpose of funding the acquisition of Royal Wolf Shares.

GFN and Bison have entered into a securities purchase agreement and related documentation (the Debt Financing Documentation).

The Debt Financing Documentation is subject to customary conditions, in addition to the conditions in section 9.8 of this Bidder’s Statement. In addition, as a condition to the purchase of the Notes by Bison as contemplated in the Debt Financing Documentation, GFN must not amend or vary, waive any condition of, or allow any amendment or variation to, the Offer as set out in this Bidder’s Statement without Bison’s prior written consent (such consent may be withheld at Bison’s sole discretion) or issue any supplementary bidder’s statement to this Bidder’s Statement without Bison’s consent (subject only to compliance with applicable law).

As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, GFN is not aware of any event or circumstance which would give rise to a right to Bison not to purchase the Notes.

GFN has a reasonable basis to expect that the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing Documentation will be satisfied (or otherwise waived) if the Offer becomes unconditional. For further information about GFN and its business interests and background, please refer to section 2. Having regard to the matters set out in this section 5, GFN is of the opinion that it has a reasonable basis for forming the view, and it holds the view, that it will be able to satisfy its payment obligations under the Offer, as well as its costs associated with the Offer.

5.3 No hedging

There are no hedging arrangements in place for movements in exchange rates in respect of the arrangements described in this section 5. However, GFN expects that the funds available under those arrangements will be more than sufficient to pay the Total Consideration, even in the event of a material adverse movement in exchange rates.

 6 GFN’s intentions regarding Royal Wolf

 6.1 Introduction

GFN has been established by General Finance for the purpose of making the Offers. Accordingly, the intentions of GFN are the same as the intentions of its ultimate parent, General Finance.

This section sets out GFN’s intentions in relation to the following:

●

the continuation of the business of Royal Wolf;

●

any major changes to the business of Royal Wolf; and

●

the future employment of the present employees of Royal Wolf.

These intentions are based on the basis of facts and information concerning Royal Wolf, its business and the general business environment which is known to GFN at the time of preparing this Bidder’s Statement. Final decisions will only be reached by GFN in light of material information and circumstances at the relevant time. Accordingly, the statements in this section are statements of current intention only and accordingly may vary as new information becomes available or circumstances change.

 6.2 Intentions for Royal Wolf as a wholly-owned controlled entity

Without limiting the comments in section 6.1, this section 6.2 describes GFN’s specific intentions if GFN and its associates acquire a relevant interest in 90% or more (by number) of Royal Wolf Shares, and so becomes entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition of the outstanding Royal Wolf Shares in accordance with Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act.

(a)

Corporate matters

GFN intends to:

●

proceed with compulsory acquisition of the outstanding Royal Wolf Shares in accordance with the provisions of Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act;

●

arrange for Royal Wolf to be removed from the official list of ASX;

●

replace Royal Wolf’s existing debt facilities with a facility to be provided by Deutsche Bank; and

●

review and replace some of the existing members of the board of Royal Wolf with its own nominees with appropriate expertise and experience.

(b)

General strategic review

After the end of the Offer Period, GFN intends to conduct a broad based review of Royal Wolf’s operations at a strategic, financial and operational level.

Once this review has been completed, GFN will determine the level of financial and other resources necessary to optimise Royal Wolf’s operations.

In particular, GFN will determine the optimal strategy in terms of realising maximum value for its investment in Royal Wolf, and in doing so, will keep all options for value maximisation open.

(c)

Impact on Employees

Subject to the statements made about existing members of the board of Royal Wolf and the review described above, GFN intends to maintain the current employment arrangements (to the extent practicable) of all Royal Wolf employees. Following completion of the Offer, and as part of the strategic review described above, GFN will consider whether, in order to further develop Royal Wolf’s operations, additional management and technical resources from external sources will be required.

As a result of the implementation of GFN’s intentions in regards to corporate matters (discussed above), it is likely that certain operational and administrative functions, for example, those relating to the maintenance of Royal Wolf’s listing on ASX, and those relating to the performance of certain of Royal Wolf’s administrative functions will become redundant. If redundancies occur, the relevant employees will receive benefits in accordance with their contractual and other legal entitlements.

[Note: Removed as GFN is not in a position to waive the minimum acceptance condition given that the minimum acceptance condition is a condition to Bison’s bid funding.]

6.3 Other intentions

Subject to the matters described above in this section 6 and elsewhere in this Bidder’s Statement, and, in particular, the completion of the strategic review of Royal Wolf’s operations, it is the intention of GFN, on the basis of the facts and information concerning Royal Wolf that are known to it and the existing circumstances affecting the assets and operations of Royal Wolf as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, that the business of Royal Wolf will be conducted in materially the same manner as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, there will be no redeployment of the fixed assets of Royal Wolf and the present employees of Royal Wolf will continue to be employed by Royal Wolf.

1.

hold their Royal Wolf Shares as capital assets for investment purposes and not for the purposes of speculation or a business of dealing in securities (e.g. as trading stock);

2.

are not subject to the Taxation of Financial Arrangements rules in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Xxx 0000 (Cth);

3.

did not acquire their Royal Wolf Shares in return for services or as the result of an employee share plan or employee share option plan;

4.

are not a bank, insurance company, tax exempt organisation or superannuation fund; or

5.

are not non-residents who currently hold, or have held, at any time Royal Wolf Shares through a permanent establishment in Australia.

Royal Wolf Shareholders who are not resident in Australia for tax purposes should take into account the tax consequences under the laws of their country of residence, as well as under Australian law, of acceptance of the Offer.

The following description of the Australian income tax and GST implications of acceptance of the Offer is based upon the Australian law and administrative practices of the ATO in effect at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, but it is not tax advice, it is general in nature and it is not intended to be an authoritative or complete statement of the laws applicable to the particular circumstances of every Royal Wolf Shareholder. Royal Wolf Shareholders should seek independent professional advice in relation to their own particular circumstances.

 7.2 Australian resident shareholders

Royal Wolf Shareholders who accept the Offer

Acceptance of the Offer will involve the disposal of Royal Wolf Shares by a Royal Wolf Shareholder by way of transfer to GFN. This change in the ownership of the Royal Wolf Shares will constitute a capital gains tax (CGT) event for Australian CGT purposes.

The date of disposal for CGT purposes will be the date the contract to dispose of the Royal Wolf Shares is formed.

Compulsory Acquisition

If a Royal Wolf Shareholder does not dispose of their Royal Wolf Shares under the Offer and their Royal Wolf Shares are compulsorily acquired in accordance with Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act, those Royal Wolf Shareholders will also be treated as having disposed of their Royal Wolf Shares for CGT purposes.

The date of disposal for CGT purposes will be the date when the Royal Wolf Shareholder ceases to be the owner of the Royal Wolf Shares.

Calculation of the capital gain or capital loss

A Royal Wolf Shareholder who is an Australian resident may make a capital gain or capital loss on the transfer of Royal Wolf Shares. A Royal Wolf Shareholder will make a capital gain if the capital proceeds from the disposal of the Royal Wolf Shares are more than the cost base of those Royal Wolf Shares. A Royal Wolf Shareholder will make a capital loss if the capital proceeds are less than the reduced cost base of those Royal Wolf Shares.

The capital proceeds of the CGT event should be the consideration price of $1.83 per Share (less the cash amount of the Special Dividend) received by the Royal Wolf Shareholder in respect of the disposal of the Royal Wolf Shares. The amount of the Special Dividend should not be considered part of the capital proceeds as GFN is not funding some or all of the Special Dividend and the payment of the Special Dividend is not conditional on the Offer becoming unconditional.

However, if the ATO was to include the amount of any Special Dividend in the capital proceeds in respect of the disposal of the Royal Wolf Shares:

●

Royal Wolf Shareholders who would otherwise make a capital gain on the disposal of their Royal Wolf Shares would be expected to have their capital gain reduced by the amount of the Special Dividend they receive (on the basis that the Special Dividend they receive would otherwise be included in their assessable income However, the reduction will not give rise to a capital loss); or

●

Royal Wolf Shareholders who would otherwise make a capital loss on the disposal of their Royal Wolf Shares will have their capital loss reduced by the amount of the Special Dividend they receive.

The cost base of the Royal Wolf Shares generally includes their cost of acquisition and certain incidental costs of acquisition and disposal that are not deductible to the Royal Wolf Shareholder.

An individual, complying superannuation entity or trustee that has held the Royal Wolf Shares for at least 12 months (excluding the date of acquisition and disposal) should generally be entitled to discount the amount of the capital gain (after application of capital losses) from the disposal of the Royal Wolf Shares by 50% in the case of an individual or trust or by 33⅓% for a complying superannuation entity. For trusts, the ultimate availability of the discount for beneficiaries of the trust will depend on the particular circumstances of the beneficiaries.

The CGT discount is not available to companies.

Capital gains and capital losses of a taxpayer in a year of income are aggregated to determine whether there is a net capital gain. Any net capital gain is included in assessable income and is subject to income tax. Excess capital losses may not be deducted against other income for income tax purposes, but may be carried forward to offset against future capital gains (subject to satisfying certain integrity rules relating to the recoupment of carried forward losses).

 7.3 Non-resident shareholders

A Royal Wolf Shareholder who is not a resident of Australia for income tax purposes is subject to Australian tax on capital gains arising from the disposal of Royal Wolf Shares if:

●

both:

●

the shareholder and its associates hold 10% or more of the issued Royal Wolf Shares at the time of disposal of the Royal Wolf Shares or have held such interest for any continuous 12 month period within the 2 years preceding the disposal; and

●

more than 50% of the value of Royal Wolf’s assets is attributable to direct or indirect interests in Australian real property (as defined in the income tax law) (TARP); or

●

the shareholder has used the Royal Wolf Shares at any time in carrying on a business through an Australian permanent establishment.

Royal Wolf Shareholders who are not a resident of Australia should seek independent professional advice in relation to their own particular circumstances.

GFN is entitled to withhold part of the consideration payable to Royal Wolf Shareholders if several conditions are satisfied, including the TARP test. GFN is currently of the view that the TARP test should not be satisfied and does not expect to withhold any tax from the consideration.

7.4 GST

Holders of Royal Wolf Shares should not be liable to GST in respect of a disposal of those Royal Wolf Shares.

  8 Other material information

8.1 Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement

On 12 July 2017, GFN and Royal Wolf entered into the Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement in relation to the Offer. A copy of the agreement was released to ASX on that day.

Under the terms of the agreement, Royal Wolf agreed that it will, amongst other things:

(a)

conduct its affairs in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice;

(b)

ensure that no prescribed occurrence (as broadly referred to in section 652C of the Corporations Act, together with other matters set out in the agreement) occurs in relation to Royal Wolf;

(c)

use reasonable endeavours to preserve the value of all its assets and businesses, to preserve its relationships with suppliers, licensors and others with whom it has business dealings with before the date of the agreement and to retain all key employees and contractors; and

(d)

to the extent practicable, not incur additional capital or exploration expenditure above and beyond that which is currently budgeted.

In addition, Royal Wolf has agreed to exclusivity obligations until the earlier of termination of the Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement and the closing date of the Offer (Exclusivity Period). The Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement contains no shop, no talk and no due diligence restrictions on Royal Wolf. During the Exclusivity Period, Royal Wolf must not, amongst other things:

(a)

directly or indirectly solicit, invite, encourage or initiate any enquiries, negotiations or discussions in relation to a Competing Transaction;

(e)

directly or indirectly enter into, continue or participate in negotiations or discussions with any other person regarding, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Transaction being made, enquired about, negotiated or discussed; or

(b)

make available non-public information relating to Royal Wolf or any of its businesses, assets or operations, in connection with such person formulating, developing or finalising, or assisting in the formulation, development or finalisation of, a Competing Transaction, except in limited circumstances,

except that the obligations in paragraphs (b) and (c) above are subject to a ‘fiduciary limitation’, under which they do not apply to the extent that they restrict Royal Wolf or an Independent Director from taking or refusing to take any action with respect to a bona fide Competing Transaction (which was not encouraged, solicited, invited or initiated in contravention of relevant provisions of the Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement) provided that in the opinion of each Independent Director, formed in good faith:

●

the Competing Transaction is made in writing by or on behalf of a person that the Independent Directors consider is of reputable commercial standing;

●

the Competing Transaction would be, or could reasonably be expected to lead to a transaction which is, more favourable to Target Shareholders than the Bid, after taking into account all aspects of the Competing Transaction; and

●

taking or failing to take the action with respect to the Competing Transaction would, or would be likely to, involve a breach of the fiduciary or statutory obligations of each Director.

There are also requirements for the Independent Directors to obtain supporting written legal advice before relying on the ‘fiduciary limitation’.

The Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement also contains notification and matching right provisions in relation to Competing Transactions.

The Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement can be terminated in the following circumstances:

By GFN if:

(a)

Royal Wolf is in breach of any provision of the agreement (including a Royal Wolf warranty), which breach is material in the context of the Offer, or if a Prescribed Occurrence occurs, GFN gives notice to Royal Wolf setting out the relevant circumstances of the breach and stating an intention to terminate the agreement and the relevant circumstances of the breach have not been rectified (if capable of being rectified) and/or the activity that caused the breach has not ceased to the reasonable satisfaction of GFN, within one Business Day from the notice being given, and, in any other case, five Business Days from the time such notice is given; or

(b)

a Competing Transaction is publicly proposed by a person other than GFN (or one of its Related Bodies Corporate) and is recommended by any Independent Director;

(c)

a person other than GFN or one of its Related Bodies Corporate that does not hold 10% or more Voting Power in Royal Wolf at the date of the agreement obtains Voting Power in Royal Wolf of 10% or more;

(d)

if any Independent Director fails to make or withdraws, changes, revises, revokes or qualifies, or makes a public statement inconsistent with, the recommendation to accept the Offer in the absence of a Superior Proposal and in circumstances where the Independent Expert concludes the Offer is fair and reasonable, or makes a public statement indicating that they no longer recommend or intend to accept the Offer; or

(e)

if any Independent Director recommends, endorses or otherwise supports a Competing Transaction.

By Royal Wolf if:

(a)

GFN is in breach of any clause of the agreement (including a GFN warranty) which breach is material in the context of the Offer, Royal Wolf gives notice to GFN setting out the material breach and stating an intention to terminate the agreement and the material breach has not been rectified (if capable of being rectified) and/or the activity that caused the material breach has not ceased to the reasonable satisfaction of Royal Wolf, within five Business Days from the time such notice is given; or

(b)

each Independent Director withdraws his or her recommendation of the Offer where there is a Superior Proposal and certain obligations have been complied with or where the Independent Expert ceases to consider that the Offer is fair and reasonable (unless such cessation is due to the emergence of a Superior Proposal in which case the provisions relating to Superior Proposals will apply).

By GFN or Royal Wolf if Offer lapses for any reason (provided, in the case of termination by GFN, that this occurred without breach by it of the Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement) including non-satisfaction of a condition of the Offer, or at any time after the date 6 months after the date of the Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement.

The Takeover Bid Implementation Agreement also automatically terminates on the Offer closing date.

(c)

not take or fail to take any action that constitutes, or that could reasonably be expected to result in or otherwise give rise to, a Prescribed Occurrence.

Access

(a)

(i)

implementing the Transaction;

(ii)

preparing for controlling the conduct of the business of the Target Group following implementation of the Transaction; or

provided that such access does not place an unreasonable burden on the ability of any Target Group Member to operate their business or would give rise to a breach of law (including the ASX Listing Rules).

4.3

Changes to Target Board

Target represents and warrants to Bidder that:

(a)

each Independent Director has confirmed to it that, after the Offer becomes unconditional and Bidder has a Relevant Interest in at least 90% (by number) of all of the Target Shares and has confirmed that it will proceed to compulsory acquisition, he or she will:

(i)

for a period of 7 years from the date that 90% Acquisition occurs, ensure that the constitution of Target and each other member of the Target Group continues to contain such rules as are contained in those constitutions at the date of this agreement that provide for each company to indemnify each of its directors and officers against any liability incurred by that person in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company to any person other than a member of the Target Group; and

take into account all reasonable comments from Bidder and its Representatives on the draft.

a majority of the Independent Directors have not withdrawn their Recommendation in the circumstances contemplated in clause 2.2(b).

6

    Exclusivity

6.1

No existing discussion

Target represents and warrants to Bidder that as at the date of this agreement it is not involved in any discussions or negotiations with any person about a Competing Transaction and has ceased any such discussions or negotiations to the extent that they were on foot prior to the date of this agreement.

6.2

 No shop

During the Exclusivity Period, Target must not, and must ensure that each of its Representatives does not, directly or indirectly:

(a)

 solicit, invite, encourage or initiate any enquiries, negotiations or discussions in relation to a Competing Transaction or which would reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Transaction being made, enquired about, negotiated or discussed; or

(b)

communicate any intention to do any of the things referred to in clause 6.2(a).

6.3

 No talk

Subject to clause 6.6, during the Exclusivity Period, Target must not, and must ensure that each of its Representatives does not:

(a)

 directly or indirectly enter into, continue or participate in negotiations or discussions with any other person regarding, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Transaction being made, enquired about, negotiated or discussed, even if:

(i)

those negotiations or discussions were not directly or indirectly encouraged, solicited, invited or initiated by Target or any of its Representatives; or

(ii)

that person has publicly announced their Competing Transaction;

(b)

 enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding of any kind (whether written or verbal, binding or non-binding, express or implied or enforceable or unenforceable) in relation to or otherwise in connection with a Competing Transaction (Competing Agreement) (whether or not a Competing Transaction has actually been made); or

(c)

communicate to any person any intention to do any of the things referred to in clause 6.3(a) or 6.3(b).

6.4

 No due diligence

(a)

 Subject to clause 6.6, during the Exclusivity Period, Target must not, and must ensure that each of its Representatives does not, make available to any other person or permit any other person to receive any non-public information relating to the Target Group or any of its businesses, assets or operations, in connection with such person formulating, developing or finalising, or assisting in the formulation, development or finalisation of, a Competing Transaction (Diligence Information).

(b)

 Before Target provides a third party with Diligence Information, it must first enter into a binding confidentiality agreement with that party on customary terms and which, in any event and taken as a whole, is no less favourable to the Target than the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c)

If Target provides a third party with Diligence Information, it must provide a copy of the Diligence Information not already made available to Bidder at the same time as it is provided to the third party.

6.5

 Notification of approaches

(a)

During the Exclusivity Period, Target must, as soon as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within one day) notify Bidder in writing if:

(i)

it is asked to do, proposes to take, or is approached by any person to take, any action of a kind that is set out in clause 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4; or

(ii)

it or any of its Representatives directly or indirectly receives any approach, inquiry or proposal (whether written or verbal) from any person regarding, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Transaction.

(b)

A notice given under this clause 6.5 must be accompanied by all material details of the relevant event, which details will, for the avoidance of doubt, include the following (to the extent applicable):

(i)

all material terms of the Competing Transaction (including any conditions to which it is subject) and all material terms of the relevant Competing Transaction (including the consideration proposed to be offered under that transaction and any conditions to which that transaction would be subject); and

(ii)

the identity of the person(s) involved in the relevant event, including the person(s) who made the Competing Transaction (or on whose behalf the Competing Transaction was made, as the case may be),

except to the extent that Target’s legal adviser, being a national Australian law firm, gives a written opinion to the effect that it is open to the Directors to conclude that their fiduciary or statutory duties require them to withhold disclosure of any such details.

6.6

  Exceptions to no talk and no due diligence

The restrictions in clauses 6.3 and 6.4 do not apply to the extent that they restrict Target, the Target Board or an Independent Director from taking or refusing to take any action with respect to a bona fide Competing Transaction (which was not encouraged, solicited, invited or initiated in contravention of clause 6.2) provided that in the opinion of each Independent Director, formed in good faith:

(a)

the Competing Transaction is made in writing by or on behalf of a person that the Independent Directors consider is of reputable commercial standing;

(b)

 the Competing Transaction would be, or could reasonably be expected to lead to a transaction which is, more favourable to Target Shareholders than the Bid, after taking into account all aspects of the Competing Transaction; and

(c)

 taking or failing to take the action with respect to the Competing Transaction would, or would be likely to, involve a breach of the fiduciary or statutory obligations of each Director.

Without limitation to any other part of this clause, before this clause 6.6 can be relied upon, the Independent Directors must obtain a written opinion from Target’s legal adviser, being a national Australian law firm, confirming that, if the Independent Directors form the views in clauses 6.6(b) and 6.6(c) in accordance with this clause 6.6, then taking or failing to take the action which is proposed to be taken with respect to the relevant Competing Transaction would, or would be likely to, involve a breach of the fiduciary or statutory obligations of the Target Board.

6.7

 Matching Right

(a)

  Without limiting Target’s obligations under clauses 6.4(b) and 6.5, if any Independent Director proposes to (whether or not subject to conditions) change his or her recommendation of the Offer so that he or she can recommend a Competing Transaction (Rival Transaction), Target must give Bidder prior written notice (Relevant Notice) of such proposed change of recommendation.

(b)

A Relevant Notice must include:

(i)

all the material terms and conditions (including price) of the Rival Transaction;

(ii)

a copy of any material confidential information concerning the Target Group provided to any person associated with the Rival Transaction which has not previously been provided to Bidder; and

(iii)

details of the basis upon which the Independent Director intends to change his or her recommendation.

(c)

 Bidder will have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the period of five Business Days following receipt of a Relevant Notice (Matching Right Period), to amend the terms of the Offer (including, but not limited to, increasing the amount of consideration offered under the Bid or proposing any other form of transaction (each a Counter Proposal)), and if it does so then the Independent Directors must review the Counter Proposal in good faith. If a majority of the Independent Directors determine that the Counter Proposal would be as favourable to Target Shareholders as the Rival Transaction:

(i)

Target and Bidder must use their best endeavours to, as soon as practicable, enter into the necessary documentation to give effect to the Counter Proposal; and

(ii)

Target must:

(A)

ensure that each of the Independent Directors recommends the Counter Proposal to Target Shareholders and does not recommend the Rival Transaction;

(B)

not enter into a Competing Agreement in respect of the Rival Transaction; and

(C)

continue to comply with its obligations under this agreement.

(d)

Without limitation to any other provision of this agreement, during the Matching Right Period:

(i)

no Independent Director is permitted to change his or her recommendation of the Offer or (except to the extent he bona fide and reasonably considers to be required by his fiduciary duties) to make any public statement to the effect that he or she may do so at some future point in time; and

(ii)

Target must not enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding in respect of the Rival Transaction.

(e)

For the purposes of this clause 6.7, each successive material modification to a Rival Transaction will constitute a new Rival Transaction in respect of which Target must comply with its obligations under this clause 6.7.

 If GST is or becomes payable on a supply (Supply) made under or in connection with this agreement, an additional amount (Additional Amount) is payable by the party providing the Consideration for the Supply (Recipient) equal to the amount of GST payable on that Supply as calculated by the party making the Supply (Supplier) in accordance with the GST Law.

If for any reason (including, without limitation, the occurrence of an Adjustment Event) the amount of GST payable on a Supply made under or in connection with this agreement (taking into account any Decreasing or Increasing Adjustments in relation to the Supply) varies from the Additional Amount payable by the Recipient under clause 11(b):

(e)

 Despite any other provision in this agreement:

(i)

if an amount payable under or in connection with this agreement (whether by way of reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise) is calculated by reference to an amount incurred by a party, whether by way of cost, expense, outlay, disbursement or otherwise (Amount Incurred), the amount payable must be reduced by the amount of any Input Tax Credit to which that party is entitled in respect of that Amount Incurred;

(ii)

if an amount payable under or in connection with this agreement (whether by way of reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise) is calculated by reference to a loss of revenue, the revenue must be determined on a GST-exclusive basis; and

no Additional Amount is payable under clause 11(b) in respect of a Supply made under or in connection with this agreement that is subject to a reverse charge under the GST Law.

(f)

Any reference in this clause to an Input Tax Credit to which a party is entitled includes an Input Tax Credit arising from a Creditable Acquisition by that party but to which the Representative Member of the GST Group of which that party is a Member is entitled.

The Borrowers must, within 10 Business Days of receipt by any Obligor, apply the following amounts to prepay Loans under the Facilities:

(i)  

(asset disposals) 100% of the proceeds (after deducting all Tax incurred or reserved for in respect of the disposal and all other reasonable costs and expenses associated with the disposal properly incurred by any Obligor to persons who are not Group Members) from any Disposal of an asset of any Obligor, excluding:

(A)  

any proceeds in excess of A$7,500,000 from the Disposal of the Idle Camp Accommodation Units  provided that no Default or Review Event is continuing.  If a Default or Review Event is continuing all proceeds generated from the Idle Camp Accommodation Units must be applied to prepay the Facilities in accordance with this Clause 8.1(a)(i); and

(B)  

any proceeds from the Disposal of shipping containers in the ordinary course of the Core Business on arm’s length terms;

(ii)

(iii)  

 (Warranty Claims) out of  any Warranty Proceeds, provided such proceeds are in excess of A$500,000 (or its equivalent in another currency or currencies) in aggregate, only to the extent that such proceeds are not within 12 months of receipt applied or committed to be applied in rectifying the problem the subject of the claim, replacing assets or meeting liabilities (including payment of Tax) in respect of which the relevant claim was made and, if so committed, not applied within 18 months of receipt.

Any net proceeds not required to be applied in prepayment shall be available for use by the Obligors for purposes not prohibited by the Finance Documents.

8.2  

Excess Cashflow Sweep

(a)  

For the Financial Year ending 30 June 2018 and for each Financial Year thereafter, the Borrowers must prepay in accordance with paragraph (b) an amount equal to the percentage of Excess Cashflow set out below corresponding to the Net Leverage Ratio set out in the annual Compliance Certificate referable to the Financial Year end (but taking into account any voluntary prepayments, other than with respect to Facility C, and mandatory prepayments, other than under this Excess Cashflow sweep, since the end of that Financial Year) as set out below:

Net Leverage Ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA)	% of Excess Cashflow
NLR > 3.0 x	100%
2.5 x  < NLR  ≤  3.0	75%
2.0 x < NLR ≤ 2.5x	50%
1.5 < NLR ≤ 2.0x	25%
NLR ≤ 1.5x	0%

(ii)  

secondly, if Facility A has been fully repaid, in reduction of Facility B Loans; and

(iii)  

then, if Facility A and Facility B have been fully repaid, in reduction of Facility C Loans.  A repayment against a Facility C Loans cancels the respective portion of Facility C that has been prepaid and cannot be redrawn.

(b)  

All mandatory prepayments (except under Clauses 8.1 (Mandatory Prepayment Events)) will, subject to paragraph (c) below, be made on the last day of the Interest Period relating to the Loan to be prepaid (so as not to break an Interest Period).  Pending such prepayment, amounts required to be prepaid must be paid to and held in the Interest Prepayment Account.  Any money so held in the Interest Prepayment Account which is required to be prepaid must be applied in prepayment on the last day of the Interest Period relating to the Loan to be prepaid.  If an Event of Default subsists, the Security Trustee may direct the Company as to the application of any money held in the Interest Prepayment Account (or exercise its rights under the Account Bank Deed).

(c)  

The Borrower may request the Agent to immediately apply any mandatory prepayment towards prepayment of the Loans (and not pay and hold such amount in the Interest Prepayment Account until the last day of the relevant Interest Period).  If it does so:

(i)  

paragraph (b) above will not apply; and

(ii)  

without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Clauses 7.7(b) and 11.6 will apply.

CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

11.1  

Unavailability of Screen Rate

Interpolated Screen Rate: If no Screen Rate is available for BBSY Bid or BKBM, as applicable, for the Interest Period of a Loan, the applicable BBSY Bid or BKBM shall be the Interpolated Screen Rate for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan, except where the Interest Period is less than the shortest period published for BBSY Bid or BKBM, as applicable, in which case it will be BBSY Bid or BKBM for the shortest period published for BBSY Bid or BKBM.

(iii)  

the rate applicable under paragraph (c) of the definition of Interest Rate at that time (if any).

(b)  

If this Clause 11.4 applies and the Agent (acting on the instructions of all Lenders) or the Company so requires, the Agent and the Company shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(c)  

Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Company, be binding on all Parties.

that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

subject to Clause 28 (Conduct of Business by the Finance Parties), the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines in its absolute discretion will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the circumstances not arisen which caused the Tax Payment to be required to be made by the Obligor.

guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Obligor of all that Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

(b)  

undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever an Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document (or anything which would have been due if the Finance Document or the amount was enforceable, valid and not illegal), that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c)  

agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, expense, loss or liability it incurs as a result of an Obligor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due.  The amount of the cost, expense, loss or liability shall be equal to the amount which that Finance Party would otherwise have been entitled to recover.

18.4  

Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 18 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 18 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

any time, waiver or other concession or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

(d)  

the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, execute, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

(e)  

any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

(a)  

refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received or recovered (by set off or otherwise) by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b)  

without limiting paragraph (a), refrain from applying any moneys received or recovered (by set off or otherwise) from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 18 in discharge of that liability and claim or prove against anyone in respect of the full amount owing by the Obligors.

in any form of administration of an Obligor (including liquidation, winding up, bankruptcy, voluntary administration, dissolution or receivership or any analogous process) prove for or claim, or exercise any vote or other rights in respect of, any indebtedness of any nature owed to it by the Obligor.

If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment mechanics).

(b)  

each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.
