BACKGROUND
A. On or about December 19, 1997, Borrowers, Agent, and PNC, as Co-Agent, certain Lenders and certain other banking institutions entered into the Third Amended and Restated Senior Loan and Security Agreement (as has been and may be further amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which such banking institutions agreed to make certain advances to Borrowers under amended and restated terms and conditions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
B. On November 12, 1998, Lenders and Borrowers entered into the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Senior Loan and Security Agreement (“First Amendment”) whereby, inter alia, certain banking institutions exited the Credit Facility, other banking institutions became Lenders, the Maximum Credit Limit was increased to $215,000,000 and the Current Term of the Credit Facility was extended to May 31, 2000.
C. Under the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby desire to further extend the Current Term of the Credit Facility from May 31, 2000 to July 31, 2000 and make performance pricing changes as detailed herein.
D. It is contemplated that prior to the expiration of the Current Term, as extended hereby (or as may be further extended), the parties hereto will enter into an additional amendment to the Loan Agreement which may make certain other changes to the Loan Agreement including but not limited to extending the Current Term beyond July 31, 2000 or such other date as the Current Term may be extended (the “Possible Future Amendment”). By entering into this Amendment, however, none of the parties hereto have agreed nor shall any party hereto be deemed to have agreed to enter into the Possible Future Amendment, and in no way shall any of the parties hereto be committed, obligated or bound to enter into such Possible Future Amendment.
E. The Loans to and other Obligations of Trac Lease, Limited and Interpool Finance shall continue to be guaranteed by Interpool; the Obligations of Limited shall continue to be guaranteed by Interpool Finance and the Obligations of Interpool Finance shall continue to be guaranteed by Limited.
F. Except where the context clearly requires otherwise, all references to the Loan Agreement in the Revolving Credit Notes (collectively “Notes”) or any other instrument, agreement or document executed and/or delivered to Agent and/or Lenders in connection therewith shall be references to the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby. Further, any instruments, agreements and documents executed in connection with the Loan Agreement, including without limitation, the Notes and the Second Amended and Restated Surety Agreement (identified on paragraph 4 below) shall collectively be referred to as the “Loan Documents.”
NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing background incorporated by reference, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Term. The Current Term of the Credit Facility is hereby extended from May 31, 2000 to July 31, 2000. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, in the event of a conversion of all Revolving Credit Loans to Term Loans, as provided in Section 2.1(d) of the Loan Agreement, such Term Loans shall be repayable in no more than 58 equal consecutive monthly installments under the terms and conditions provided therein.
2. LIBOR Base Rate. Effective May 31, 2000, the definition of LIBOR Based Rate in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety as follows:

6. Borrowers’ Ratification. Borrowers agree that they have no defenses or set-offs against the Agent, Co-Agents or Lenders, their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys with respect to the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Notes, the Loan Agreement or related instruments, agreements or documents, all of which are in full force and effect and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until modified or amended in writing in accordance with their terms.
