Upon receiving notice of any Lien upon any Manager Collection Account other than as expressly provided herein, the Manager will, as soon as reasonably practicable, cease depositing or causing to be deposited funds into such account, and will thereafter deposit or cause to be deposited such funds into any other then existing Manager Collection Account, or such other account as is approved in writing by each of the parties hereto, until such time as such Lien is released or removed on terms reasonably satisfactory to each of the parties hereto.

The provisions of this Section 6.1(d) are supplemental to, and do not derogate from or otherwise restrict, the provisions of the relevant Security Agreements.
(e) The Manager will cause to be perfected, in accordance with the law of any applicable jurisdiction to the extent perfection can be maintained in accordance with such applicable law, the above-described respective security interests of each Managed Equipment Lender in the assets from time to time deposited in or credited to the Manager Collection Accounts and, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Manager and each Managed Equipment Owner shall execute and deliver to each Managed Equipment Lender, such financing statements and other documents and take such steps which, in any such party’s reasonable opinion and as reasonably requested by such Managed Equipment Lender, as required to reflect the assignment and pledge to such party of and to establish, perfect and maintain the priority of the security interests and Liens described in this Section 6.1.

depository bank then maintaining any Manager Collection Account), or if for any reason Bank of America N.A. or any successor depository bank declines to continue to maintain any Manager Collection Account, then the Manager and the Collateral Agent shall, as soon as practicable, but in any event within whatever period of notice that the Manager receives from Bank of America N.A. or any successor depository bank prior to the termination of the applicable control agreement or the closing of such Manager Collection Account, (i) establish a successor Manager Collection Account (at a bank in the United States of America, unless all of the Managed Equipment Lenders agree to a different location), and (ii) cause all actions to be taken as required under Section 6.1(e) of this Agreement to establish, perfect and maintain as to such successor Manager Collection Account the security interests and Liens granted in Section 6.1(d) of this Agreement, including without limitation, the execution and delivery of a new Manager Collection Account Control Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto.

In the event any Managed Equipment Lender receives any payment from or otherwise realizes on the Manager Collection Accounts in excess of the Gross Revenues allocable to the Containers constituting its Collateral, the Manager agrees to direct such recipient to hold such amount in trust for the party entitled to such amount and to remit such amount to such party as promptly as practicable. This paragraph shall apply irrespective of the time or order of attachment or perfection of the security interests referred to in this paragraph, the time or order of filing of financing statements, or the acquisition of, or the time of giving or failure to give notice of the acquisition or expected acquisition of any such security interests, in each case whether such event has occurred prior to or will occur on or after the Effective Date and in each case irrespective of the breadth of description of collateral in any security agreement, financing statement or similar document.

to exist any Lien in favor of any party upon (x) the Manager Collection Account or any funds therein or proceeds thereof other than in favor of the Collateral Agent hereunder or (y) any Collateral Account or any funds therein or proceeds thereof other than in favor of the Managed Equipment Lender related thereto. Upon receiving notice of any other Lien upon the Manager Collection Account or any Collateral Account, the Manager shall, as soon as possible following notice to such effect from any Managed Equipment Lender, cease depositing or causing to be deposited funds into such account, and will thereafter deposit or cause to be deposited such funds into such other account as is approved in writing by each of the Managed Equipment Lenders, until such time as such Lien is released or removed on terms reasonably satisfactory to each of the parties hereto.
6.2. Allocation of Funds in Manager Collection Accounts and Payment to Collateral Accounts.
(a) So long as any Containers owned by any Managed Equipment Owner are managed by the Manager, the Manager shall (i) specifically identify the particular Container to which the Gross Revenue shall relate and allocate thereto and (ii) except to the extent that, pursuant to the applicable Managed Equipment Loan Agreements, the Manager is required to pay such sums from its Management Fee or otherwise, or to the extent otherwise required under applicable Managed Equipment Loan Agreement, pay from the Gross Revenue then on deposit in the Manager Collection Accounts which is allocable to such Managed Equipment Owner, directly to vendors or through reimbursement to the Manager, all sums the Manager is entitled to pay for the account of such Managed Equipment Owner for such Managed Equipment Owner’s Operating Expenses for any period (that have been specifically identified to such Containers or allocated thereto in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B hereto). Until the Manager no longer manages the Collateral except to the extent that, pursuant to the applicable Managed Equipment Loan Agreements, the Manager is required to pay such sums from its Management Fee or otherwise, each Managed Equipment Lender and each Managed Equipment Owner authorize the Manager to charge such Managed Equipment Owner’s Gross Revenue in the Manager Collection Accounts and to disburse directly to vendors or to itself in accordance with this Section 6.2(a), the amounts that have been specifically identified to such Managed Equipment Owner’s Containers or allocated thereto in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B hereto for such Managed Equipment Owner’s Operating Expenses for any period.
(b) In each case in accordance with the applicable Managed Equipment Loan Agreement, the Manager shall withdraw no later than five (5) Business Days after deposit in the Manager Collection Accounts the Gross Revenues (in the case of CLI Funding LLC and any other CLI Entity which has a Management Agreement involving an All-In Management Fee) or Net Operating Income of each Managed Equipment Owner’s Containers on deposit in the Manager Collection Accounts and pay such funds to the applicable Managed
Equipment Lender or deposit such funds into such Managed Equipment Owner’s Collateral Account maintained in the name of such Managed Equipment Owner or any trustee therefor as designated on Schedule 6.2(b) hereto or in writing from time to time by such Managed Equipment Owner or the applicable Managed Equipment Lender(s) and to make payments to the Operating Account after satisfaction of its Obligations.
(c) With respect to Lease Payments due (or to become due) from a customer with respect to any Lease which relates to Containers owned by two or more Managed Equipment Owners, or pledged to two or more Managed Equipment Lenders, CLI, as Manager (or their designee, or any successor Manager, if applicable), (A) hereby agrees to send invoices to such customer setting forth the respective amounts due and payable under each Lease and (B) upon receipt, shall identify to which Containers such payments relate, or to the extent that no such identification can then be made, to allocate such payments in accordance with the allocation rules described below (unless (a) otherwise specified in writing by the customer in respect of that customer’s payment, in which case, the payment shall be allocated in accordance with such customer specification or (b) if not specified by the customer or in the related Lease, then as determined in writing by a manager or party acting as administrator of the Collateral relating to such payment, to the extent that none of the parties hereto objects to such specification following reasonable prior written notice thereof):
(i) First, to all past due payments allocated in chronological order beginning with the oldest undisputed receivable first as determined by original invoice date, if any, with respect to each receivable of such customer, without regard to which Containers such payment shall relate (but subject to the proviso below);
(ii) Second, to the minimum payment due in the current payment period with respect to each receivable of such customer, without regard to which Containers such payment shall relate (but subject to the proviso below); and
(iii) Third, to the remaining outstanding balance of each receivable of such customer, without regard to which Containers such payment shall relate (but subject to the proviso below);
provided, that, if in allocating Lease Payments in accordance with the above, the Lease Payments to be allocated are insufficient to satisfy all Lease Payments then due and payable, the delinquencies, minimum current payments due or remaining outstanding balances, as applicable, then the Lease Payments made in respect of such Lease shall be allocated to the delinquencies, minimum current payments due or remaining outstanding balances, as applicable, for each Container subject to such Lease, pro rata, based on the proportion that the delinquency, minimum current payment due or remaining outstanding balance, as
applicable, for each such Container bears to the delinquencies, minimum current payments due or remaining outstanding balances, as applicable, for all Containers subject to such Lease. In furtherance of the foregoing, if a particular asset is determined by the Manager to belong to, or be a part of, two or more of: the CLI Collateral, CLI Funding Collateral and Other Lender’s Collateral, then absent an agreement to the contrary by the parties hereto, the Manager shall notify each related party of such determination and such asset (or proceeds of such asset) shall be divided pro rata based on the aggregate outstanding principal balances of each of the Obligations secured by such Collateral.
(d) Each of the parties hereto agrees that (i) the Manager shall have the rights and obligations with respect to the Manager Collection Accounts set forth herein, notwithstanding the fact that such accounts are in the name of the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent may be deemed the customer of the Depositary and (ii) such rights and obligations are subject to the Manager Collection Account Control Agreement. The Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not deliver a Shifting Control Notice (as defined in the Manager Collection Account Control Agreement) or otherwise deliver instructions to the Depositary unless directed to do so in writing by a Managed Equipment Lender. Each of the Managed Equipment Lenders agrees that it shall not instruct the Collateral Agent to deliver a Shifting Control Notice or instructions to the Depositary unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Revolving Credit Agreement or the Manager has been replaced or terminated pursuant to the terms of a Management Agreement. Upon the delivery of a Shifting Control Notice relating to a Security Agreement, the Manager shall have no right to access or to withdraw or transfer funds from the Manager Collection Accounts with respect to the Net Operating Income allocable to the Containers related to such Security Agreement. The party delivering the direction to the Collateral Agent to deliver a Shifting Control Notice agrees that it shall notify the other parties hereto of its delivery of such direction, specifying, among other things, the Managed Equipment Owner affected by such direction. The Manager shall continue to have rights and obligations with respect to the Manager Collection Accounts of the portion of the Gross Revenue therein relating to the Managed Loan Agreements for which a Shifting Control Notice has not been delivered.
7. Security Interests in Leases.
Certain Managed Equipment Owners have granted to their respective Managed Equipment Lenders, a security interest in, to and under the lease agreements to which their Containers may become subject from time to time to the extent (but only to the extent) that such lease agreements relate to their respective Containers. As the Leases relate to Containers that have been pledged to various Managed Equipment Lenders, no one Managed Equipment Lender may, without violating the rights of the other Managed Equipment Lenders and Managed Equipment Owners, as the case may be, take possession of the chattel paper originals (if any)
of the Leases and the Leases may not be stamped or marked to indicate that they have been assigned to an identified secured party. As such, to perfect their respective security interests and to preserve the priority thereof, each of the Managed Equipment Owners and the Managed Equipment Lenders hereby appoints the Collateral Agent upon the occurrence of a Lease Custodial Transfer, to take possession of the Leases. The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment on the terms and conditions contained herein, and agrees that, pursuant to Sections 9-313(c)(1) and 9-313(h) of the UCC, upon the occurrence of a Lease Custodial Transfer, to take and hold the Leases for the respective Managed Equipment Lender’s benefit. Each of the parties hereto agrees, for purposes of preserving the respective priority of each security interest granted herein or in any Security Agreement, the Manager shall stamp or xxxx each Lease in its possession with a legend stating the following: “LESSOR’S ORIGINAL. THE EQUIPMENT IDENTIFIED IN THIS LEASE AND ALL RIGHTS OF THE LESSOR HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT TO A LIEN IN FAVOR OF U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS COLLATERAL AGENT FOR VARIOUS SECURED PARTIES OF CONTAINER LEASING INTERNATIONAL, LLC (D/B/A CARLISLE LEASING INTERNATIONAL, LLC) OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES. TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS LEASE SHALL CONSTITUTE CHATTEL PAPER, NO SECURITY INTEREST HEREIN MAY BE CREATED THROUGH THE TRANSFER AND POSSESSION OF ANY COUNTERPART OTHER THAN THIS LESSOR’S ORIGINAL.”
8. Agency Agreement.
(a) Each Managed Equipment Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, together with its successors and assigns, and U.S. Bank National Association (together with its successors and assigns) hereby agrees to act, as the secured party and the Collateral Agent, to take such action on behalf of the Managed Equipment Lenders under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Managed Equipment Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.
(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any affiliate thereof nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection
with this Agreement, except to the extent resulting from such Person’s negligence or willful misconduct.
(c) Each Managed Equipment Lender confirms to the Collateral Agent acting hereunder and the other Managed Equipment Lenders that it has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Collateral Agent or any other Managed Equipment Lender: (i) to check or inquire on such Managed Equipment Lender’s behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by CLI and any CLI Entity (defined herein), or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Managed Equipment Lender by the Collateral Agent), (ii) to assess or keep under review on such Managed Equipment Lender’s behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of CLI and the CLI Entities (defined herein), any of their subsidiaries or affiliates or the nature or value of any collateral, or (iii) to review, as to form, completeness, execution or any other aspect, any of the Leases.
(d) CLI, jointly and severally, and each of the CLI Entities, on a several basis (ratably in accordance with their pro rata share of the Obligations), agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Person”), against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Collateral Agent, which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Person, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by any Indemnified Person in connection with any of the foregoing (collectively, “Indemnified Amounts”); provided that neither CLI nor any of the CLI Entities shall be liable to any Indemnified Person for any portion of such Indemnified Amounts to the extent they are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Person’s negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent agrees that any amounts payable to it pursuant to this paragraph (d) by a CLI Entity shall not be the basis for a “claim” as defined in Section 101(5) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code against such CLI Entity or recourse to such entity. To the extent not paid by CLI or the CLI Entities, each Managed Equipment Lender, on a several basis ratably (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Obligations secured hereby) agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless each Indemnified Person against any Indemnified Amounts, subject to the proviso in the second preceding sentence and subject in the case of the Trustee and any CLI Entity, to the availability of funds under the respective Indenture and without reducing the amount available for indemnity of the Trustee under such Indenture.
(e) The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that, if and for so long as the entity serving as the Collateral Agent, or any affiliate thereof, is also the Indenture Trustee, (i) such entity, or affiliate thereof, will perform its duties and obligations as the Indenture Trustee to the same extent it would were such entity not the Collateral Agent, and (ii) such entity will not be held in violation of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or any related document as the Collateral Agent in so doing.
(f) Each Managed Equipment Lender confirms and agrees as follows:
(i) the Collateral Agent may request and conclusively rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, financial advisers or accountants and the written advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or accountants and any written opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such written advice or written opinion of counsel;
(iii) the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(iv) the Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Managed Equipment Lenders;
(v) the Collateral Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, affiliates, accountants or attorneys and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such agents, affiliates, accountants or attorneys appointed by it with due care;
(vi) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties (including, without limitation, under subparagraph (iv) above) or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of an event of default under any of the Managed Equipment Loan Agreements until a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice thereof;
(viii) the rights of the Collateral Agent to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Collateral Agent shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance or forbearance of such act;
(ix) anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits) even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and
(x) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the powers granted hereunder.
(g) Until such time as the Obligations have been discharged or satisfied in full (at which time the Collateral Agent’s resignation shall be automatic), the Collateral Agent may not resign as Collateral Agent prior to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent by each of the parties hereto. If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been selected within 90 days after delivery by the Collateral Agent to each of the parties hereto of a request for such appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent to act until such time, if any, as a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed and accepted by each of the parties hereto as above provided. Any successor Collateral Agent so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Collateral Agent appointed and accepted by each of the parties hereto as above provided if such superseding Collateral Agent is appointed within one year of appointment of a Collateral Agent by such court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Collateral Agent is also the Trustee, the Collateral Agent shall cease to be Collateral Agent and shall be relieved of all of its obligations hereunder 30 days (or such additional number of days as are reasonably necessary to obtain a replacement Collateral Agent) after the date on which there are no remaining secured parties under any of the Indentures.
(h) The Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to any fees, compensation or reimbursement for its services hereunder, except that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to be paid by CLI (i) in the case of a Lease
Custodial Transfer, a reasonable fee to be agreed upon by the Collateral Agent and CLI and all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith and (ii) after receipt of a Shifting Control Notice, a one time fee of $8,000 and a monthly fee of $2,000.
9. Enforcement of Liens.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other agreement or document to the contrary, neither the Trustee, the Revolver Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Other Lender shall assert or attempt to enforce or avail itself of any Liens or any other pre-judgment or post-judgment Liens or assert any rights in or claims against any of the Collateral or otherwise foreclose or realize upon the Collateral or any part thereof without providing to each of the Trustee, the Revolver Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Other Lender from time to time party hereto at least five (5) days prior written notice thereof; provided, that failure to give notice as provided in this Section 9 shall not impair any of the Obligations of any Managed Equipment Owner to its Managed Equipment Lender or its obligations hereunder.
10. Bankruptcy Matters.
10.1. No Bankruptcy Petition against CLI Entities. Each party hereto agrees that it will not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all amounts owing pursuant to the related Indenture and the documents related thereto, institute against CLI Funding (together with each other Managed Equipment Owner established as a special purpose subsidiary as a part of a securitization transaction which has become a party hereto in accordance with Section 11(b), each a “CLI Entity”, or collectively, the “CLI Entities”), or join any other Person in instituting against the CLI Entities, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. This Section 10.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
10.2. No Contest. Each party hereto agrees that it will not challenge or otherwise object to the characterization of any of the contributions, sales, transfers or conveyances by any CLI Entity and/or any affiliate thereof to any other CLI Entity (which has been established as part of a securitization transaction on terms and conditions substantially similar to those of the CLI Entities existing on the date hereof) as a “true sale” rather than the grant of a collateral security interest to secure a debt.
10.3. No Consolidation. In any insolvency proceeding involving any CLI Entity or any special purpose subsidiary established as a part of a securitization transaction or any other affiliate of any CLI Entity, each party hereto agrees that it will not put forth or join in any motion to consolidate the assets and liabilities of (i) CLI with those of any CLI Entity or any such special purpose subsidiary with those of any other entity or (ii) any CLI Entity with those of any other CLI Entity or any such special purpose subsidiary with those of any other entity.
11. Amendment, Waivers, Etc
(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the terms of this Agreement shall not be altered, modified, amended, supplemented, waived or terminated in any manner whatsoever except by written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto (including any Managed Equipment Owner(s) and Managed Equipment Lender(s) not initially parties to this Agreement but which subsequently become a party hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 11(b) hereof).
(b) Managed Equipment Owner(s) and Managed Equipment Lender(s) not initially parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to participate in this Agreement, as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented, by executing a Supplemental Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, accepting the terms of this Agreement, as amended and supplemented to the date of such execution. Such participation shall, prior to an Event of Default, require the written approval of the Manager, such approval to be not unreasonably withheld, but shall not require the further authorization or approval of any of the other parties hereto, provided the participation in this Agreement by such additional party does not conflict with the Managed Equipment Loan Agreements, and provided further that the Manager shall have given five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the participation in this Agreement by such additional party to each Managed Equipment Lender then party to this Agreement. The Manager shall promptly furnish each Managed Equipment Lender then party to this Agreement with a copy of the executed Supplemental Agreement with such additional party.
12. Miscellaneous.
12.1. Conflict with Managed Equipment Loan Agreement. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, all rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to each Managed Equipment Lender that is a party to this Agreement under its respective Managed Equipment Loan Agreement are subject to the provisions contained herein; provided that this Section 12.1 shall not be construed as waiving or amending any covenant or agreement of any Managed Equipment Owner contained in any such Managed Equipment Loan Agreement.
12.2. No Waiver. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be implied from any omission, failure or delay by any party to take any action with respect to such breach. No express waiver shall affect any breach other than the breach specified therein and each such express waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein expressly stated. No waiver of any breach shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or a different covenant or of any subsequent failure to satisfy the same or a different condition. Any party’s consent to or approval of any particular event, act, omission, failure or delay shall not result in a waiver of, or render unnecessary, consent to any approval of, any subsequent event, act, omission, failure or delay; and no person’s or entity’s consent or approval shall bind any other party.

12.6. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, including without limitation, any successor Manager under the Security Agreements that succeeds to the rights and obligations of the Manager with respect to the Managed Containers.

(“SHIFTING CONTROL”)
This AGREEMENT dated as of August 24, 2006, by and among Container Leasing International, LLC (d/b/a Carlisle Leasing International, LLC), a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of New York (acting in its capacity as a Managed Equipment Owner and manager of certain Containers, together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Manager” or “CLI”), CLI FUNDING LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (acting in its capacity as a Managed Equipment Owner, “CLI Funding”), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (acting in its capacity as indenture trustee for the secured parties under that certain second amended and restated indenture, dated as of August 24, 2006 (as may be amended or modified from time to time), between U.S. Bank National Association and CLI Funding (the “CLI Funding Trustee” or the “Trustee”)), DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, a banking corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York (acting in its capacity as administrative agent on behalf of several financial institutions pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, the “Revolver Agent”), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as collateral agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”) and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as depositary (the “Depositary”). Capitalized terms not herein defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Intercreditor Collateral Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2001, as amended and restated as of January 29, 2004 and further amended and restated as of August 24, 2006, among CLI, CLI Funding, the Revolver Agent and the Collateral Agent.
The parties hereto refer to Account No. 9429134790 in the name of “U.S. Bank National Association, acting on behalf of various secured parties”, which is maintained at Bank of America, N.A. (the “Account”) and hereby agree as follows:
1. Each of the Managed Equipment Owners and the Managed Equipment Lenders hereby notifies the Collateral Agent and the Depositary that by separate agreement(s) each such Managed Equipment Owners has granted to its respective Managed Equipment Lender a security interest in the Account and all funds on deposit from time to time therein. The Collateral Agent and the Depositary hereby acknowledge being so notified.
2. Prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) the Depositary shall honor all withdrawal, payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions (collectively, “instructions”) received from CLI concerning the Account. As of the date hereof, (and without the consent of CLI or any other CLI Entity), Depositary shall honor all instructions received from the Collateral Agent (“Collateral Agent’s Instructions”) concerning the Account. The Collateral Agent’s Instructions on any day shall be limited to a single set of wire instructions with respect to collected funds in the Account as of the close of the immediately preceding business day for each Managed Equipment Lender or as otherwise agreed by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, subject to paragraph 3 hereof.
For purposes hereof, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the second business day next succeeding the business day on which a notice purporting to be signed by the Collateral Agent in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, attached hereto, with a copy of this Agreement attached thereto (a “Shifting Control Notice”), is actually received by one of the individual employees of Depositary to whom the notice is required hereunder to be addressed; provided, that a “business day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Depositary is or is authorized or required by law to be closed. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees that it will give written notice to each of the other parties hereto of its delivery of any Shifting Control Notice to the Depositary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction involving the Account duly commenced by Depositary or any affiliate prior to the Effective Time and so consummated or processed thereafter shall be deemed not to constitute a violation of this Agreement; and (ii) Depositary and/or any affiliate may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) (x) cease honoring CLI’s instructions and/or commence honoring solely Collateral Agent’s Instructions concerning the Account (in each case, only with respect to the Gross Revenues or Net Operating Income (as applicable) allocable to the Containers owned by the Managed Equipment Owner identified in such Shifting Control Notice) at any time or from time to time after it becomes aware that the Collateral Agent has sent to it a Shifting Control Notice but prior to the Effective Time therefor (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirecting any transaction referred to in clause (i) above), or (y) deem a Shifting Control Notice to be received by it for purposes of the foregoing paragraph prior to the specified individual’s actual receipt if otherwise actually received by Depositary (or if such Shifting Control Notice contains minor mistakes or other irregularities but otherwise complies with the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or does not attach an appropriate copy of this Agreement), with no liability whatsoever to CLI or any other party for doing so.
3. This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, Depositary’s deposit account agreement, terms and conditions and other standard documentation in effect from time to time with respect to the Account or services provided in connection with the Account (the “Account Documentation”), which Account Documentation will continue to apply to the Account and such services, and the respective rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of the parties thereto and hereto, to the extent not expressly conflicting with the provisions of this Agreement (however, in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall control). Prior to issuing any Collateral Agent’s Instructions on or after the Effective Time, the Collateral Agent shall provide Depositary with such Account Documentation as Depositary may reasonably request to establish the identity and authority of the individuals issuing instructions on behalf of the Managed Equipment Lenders. The Collateral Agent may request the Depositary to provide other services (such as automatic daily transfers) with respect to the Account on or after the Effective Time; however, if such services are not authorized or otherwise covered under the Account Documentation, Depositary’s decision to provide any such services shall be made in its sole discretion (including without limitation being subject to CLI, the Collateral Agent and/or any Managed Equipment Lenders executing such Account Documentation or other documentation as Depositary may require in connection therewith).
4. Depositary agrees not to exercise or claim any right of offset, banker’s lien or other right against the Account until such time as each of the CLI Funding Obligations have been
irrevocably paid in full in cash and except with respect to (i) returned or charged-back items, (ii) reversals or cancellations of payment orders and other electronic fund transfers, (iii) Depositary’s charges, fees and expenses with respect to the Account or the services provided hereunder or (iv) overdrafts in the Account.
5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) Depositary shall have only the duties and responsibilities with respect to the matters set forth herein as is expressly set forth in writing herein and shall not be deemed to be an agent, bailee or fiduciary for any party hereto; (ii) Depositary shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith without investigation on any notice (including without limitation a Shifting Control Notice), instruction or request purportedly furnished to it by CLI or the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, in which case the parties hereto agree that Depositary has no duty to make any further inquiry whatsoever; (iii) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Depositary has no knowledge of (and is not required to know) the terms and provisions of the separate agreement(s) referred to in paragraph 1 above or any other related documentation or whether any actions by the Collateral Agent (including without limitation the sending of a Shifting Control Notice or Collateral Agent’s Instructions), CLI or any other person or entity are permitted or a breach thereunder or consistent or inconsistent therewith; (iv) Depositary shall not be liable to any party hereto or any other person for any action or failure to act under or in connection with this Agreement except to the extent such conduct constitutes its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (and to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall under no circumstances be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages); and (v) Depositary shall not be liable for losses or delays caused by force majeure, interruption or malfunction of computer, transmission or communications facilities, labor difficulties, court order or decree, the commencement of bankruptcy or other similar proceedings or other matters beyond Depositary’s reasonable control.
6. CLI hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel who may be an employee of Depositary) (collectively, “Covered Items”) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any interpleader proceeding relating thereto or incurred at CLI’s direction or instruction. To the extent not indemnified by CLI, each Managed Equipment Lender, jointly and severally (except as limited by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and, in the case of the Trustee, only to the extent moneys are available therefor in accordance with the related Indenture and without reducing the amount available for indemnity of the Trustee under such Indenture) hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any Covered Items (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) incurred (i) as a result of Depositary’s honoring any Collateral Agent’s Instructions, or (ii) due to any claim by any Managed Equipment Lender of an interest in the Account or the funds on deposit herein.
7. Depositary may terminate this Agreement (a) in its discretion upon the sending of at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto or (b) because of a material breach by CLI, the Collateral Agent or any Managed Equipment Lender of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Account Documentation, upon the sending of at least ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto. Any other termination or any amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be effected solely by an instruction in writing
executed by all the parties hereto. The provisions of paragraphs 5 and 6 above shall survive any such termination.
8. CLI shall compensate Depositary for the opening and administration of the Account and services provided hereunder in accordance with Depositary’s fee schedules from time to time in effect. Payment will be effected by a direct debit to the Account.
9. This Agreement: (i) may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instruction; (ii) shall become effective when counterparts hereof have been signed and delivered by the parties hereto; and (iii) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. All parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding relating to the Account or this Agreement. To the extent that any party hereto has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), each party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of Section 9-304 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York, the parties agree that the jurisdiction of Depositary is the State of New York. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent (including via facsimile transmission) to the parties hereto at their respective addresses or fax numbers set forth below (or to such other address or fax number as any such party shall designate in writing to the other parties from time to time).
