5. Duties of Manager.

In consideration of the compensation to be paid to Manager by Owner pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to the agreement of Owner to make payments to Manager pursuant to this Agreement, Manager shall provide and perform, or cause its affiliate(s) to provide and perform (provided that in such case, Manager shall remain primarily responsible), on behalf of Owner the services set forth in this Section 5, which services shall be provided and performed during the term of this Agreement at a level or standard of care no less than the level or standard of care customarily applied by container lessors generally.

(a) In the event of a breach of any manufacturer’s, subcontractor’s, dealer’s or other entity’s warranty as to the condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise with respect to any or all of the Containers, provided that Owner has specifically authorized in advance in writing the expenditure of all fees and expenses related thereto (including but not limited to legal expenses), Manager agrees to pursue all reasonable actions on Owner’s behalf against said warrantors at Owner’s expense. Manager makes no independent representations or warranties to Owner with respect to the condition, merchantability, fitness for any particular purpose with respect to any such Containers and shall have no liability to Owner for any breach of any manufacturer’s, subcontractor’s, dealer’s or other entity’s warranty with respect thereto.

(b) Use good faith efforts throughout the term of this Agreement to lease the Containers to oceangoing shipping lines or other Lessees as reasonably determined by Manager in accordance with its standard credit and collection policies and procedures which Manager normally uses with respect to other containers in Manager’s Fleet, and to manage Owner’s Fleet on a non-discriminatory basis in relation to the other containers in Manager’s Fleet, with respect to lease-outs, cash receipts, operating expenses, and other management services. In that regard, on a non-discriminatory basis relative to other containers in Manager’s Fleet, Manager will use its best efforts to avoid leasing all of Owner’s Fleet to one shipping line.

(c) Use good faith efforts to collect from Lessees, in accordance with the terms of any Lease, all rental payments and all other amounts due with respect to the Containers under any Leases and account for and remit those sums due to Owner as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be required to institute legal action to collect any sums due to Owner as aforesaid unless: (i) Manager determines to take such action to enforce such Leases with respect to *** covered by such Leases under which the Lessees have defaulted in their payment obligations to Manager and/or to Owner, or (ii) Containers constitute at least *** covered by such defaulted Lease(s), and Owner agrees to indemnify Manager with respect to such enforcement action (including with respect to claims, losses and liabilities asserted by the owners of any of the other containers in Manager’s Fleet covered by such defaulted Lease(s) including Manager itself) and to *** associated therewith including the reasonable cost of the time of Manager’s employees spent on such enforcement proceedings. *** incurred by Manager with respect to enforcement proceedings under subclause (i) shall be allocated proportionally based on the number of Containers included among the containers in Manager’s Fleet covered by such defaulted Leases, and Owner’s pro rata share thereof shall be deemed to be Operating Expenses

for purposes of this Agreement. The costs and expenses incurred by Manager with respect to enforcement proceedings under subclause (ii) shall be wholly for Owner’s account and shall be deemed to be Operating Expenses for purposes of this Agreement upon Owner’s authorization to undertake such proceedings. With respect to enforcement proceedings undertaken by Manager pursuant to this subsection, Manager agrees to consult with Owner in each case in which the claims relating to Containers under such defaulted Lease can reasonably be expected to exceed *** and/or the costs relating to Containers under such defaulted Lease can reasonably be expected to exceed *** Manager further agrees to be guided in the conduct of such proceedings by the opinion of the majority in interest of all owners of containers (including the Containers) affected by such defaulted Lease, including for this purpose, Manager’s vote as owner with respect to the containers it owns for its own account.

(d) Take such steps as may be required to ensure that all obligations and duties arising under the Leases, whether of Lessees or Manager, are performed or complied with in an orderly and timely fashion; and terminate Leases under which the Lessees are in material default and recover possession of the Containers and enforce all rights of Manager and/or Owner with respect thereto, including the payment of all amounts owing under Leases or otherwise with respect to such Containers, institute and prosecute legal proceedings in the name of Owner and/or Manager as permitted by applicable laws in order to terminate such Leases and/or recover possession of the Containers and settle, compromise and/or release such proceedings or reinstate such Leases. Provided, however, that Manager may not settle any counter-claims filed against Owner without first receiving Owner’s written consent. Except as otherwise specifically provided in subsection (c) above, in determining what action to take, and ‘in performing its duties under this subsection, Manager shall be entitled to follow its standard credit and collection policies and procedures which Manager normally uses with respect to other containers in Manager’s Fleet. All costs and expenses incurred by Manager in performing the foregoing shall be allocated based on the number of Containers included among the containers covered by such defaulted Leases, and Owner’s share of such costs and expenses with respect to the Containers shall be deemed to be Operating Expenses for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Cause all Containers to be maintained and repaired in the ordinary course of Manager’s business in good and safe operating condition and cause said Containers to be periodically inspected.

(f) Place and use its best efforts to maintain in effect on an “occurrence basis,” if available on commercially reasonable terms, throughout the term of this Agreement in Manager’s name a blanket insurance policy(s) covering the Containers, or an insurance policy covering all the containers in Manager’s Fleet including the Containers, under which Owner (and Owner’s lender(s) if applicable) will be named as additional insureds and loss payees, and including coverage which is at least as broad in scope and as great in amount as the coverage provided by Manager for other containers of the same Type(s) in Manager’s Fleet and coverage which is generally comparable to industry practices. Attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked, “Exhibit B,” is/are (a) certificate(s) of insurance which describes the coverage which Manager has in effect on Manager’s Fleet at the time of the execution of this Agreement which coverage will be extended to all Containers upon acquisition by Owner. Manager shall provide an executed original of such certificate to Owner and Owner’s Agent upon execution of this

Agreement and shall continue to provide to Owner and Owner’s Agent (and to Owner’s lender(s) if applicable) renewal certificate(s) evidencing the coverages required herein prior to the expiration of the certificate(s) in existence at the time of the execution of this Agreement. All such certificates shall provide that the insurer shall give Owner and Owner’s Agent at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation or material modification of the coverage. Manager shall have the right to change its existing insurance coverage on the containers in Manager’s Fleet if in Manager’s reasonable and good faith judgment such change is required due to changing costs for insurance or changing industry practices. Manager agrees to notify Owner at least 30 days in advance of any such contemplated changes in insurance coverage. If Owner wishes insurance coverage which is broader in scope and/or greater in amount than that purchased by Manager for the containers in Manager’s Fleet, then Manager will cooperate in arranging such additional coverage and Owner shall pay the incremental cost thereof. Manager will use good faith efforts to insure the Containers at their respective Stipulated Loss Values as those values vary from time to time. If Manager is unable (within the parameters set forth herein) to obtain property loss and damage coverage for the Containers which values the Containers at their respective Stipulated Loss Values as those values vary from time to time, Manager will immediately notify Owners Agent so that Owner may attempt to obtain (at Owner’s sole cost) supplemental coverage for the Containers if Owner so elects.

(g) On behalf of Owner pay all Operating Expenses including charges, assessments, and levies imposed upon or against the Containers other than charges, assessments or levies payable by and chargeable to any Lessee under any Lease or otherwise, of whatever kind or nature and, in Manager’s reasonable discretion, defend against any such charges, assessments or levies and seek revision or appeal from any charge, assessment or levy deemed improper, all such actions to be in the name of Manager or Owner or both as Manager determines in its reasonable discretion, and brought on behalf of Owner and at the expense of Owner. Provided, however, if Manager brings an action the outcome of which will directly affect containers in Manager’s Fleet owned by entities other than Owner, Owner’s responsibility for costs incurred in such actions shall be shared proportionally with the other owners on the basis of the number of affected Containers to all affected containers in Manager’s Fleet. If Owner chooses to utilize the Containers as collateral for debt financing purposes at any time while such Containers remain covered by this Agreement, Owner shall pay all sums due with respect to such financing (“Debt Capital”) in full in a timely manner, and shall indemnify Manager and any Lessee’s of the Containers from the consequences of any failure by Owner to remain in compliance with the terms of such Debt Capital.

(h) Monitor and record status and/or location and movement of the Containers and make such records available for inspection by Owner or Owner’s Agent during reasonable business hours and after reasonable notice, and allow Owner and Owner’s Agent to make photocopies thereof. Make available to Owner and Owner’s Agent for discussion and questions such of Manager’s employees as reasonably requested by Owner or Owner’s Agent during reasonable business hours.

(i) Maintain or have maintained complete and accurate books and records indicating by serial number the ownership of each Container and of transactions relating to the Containers and retain such books and records in accordance with Manager’s normal records retention policies, and will make such books and records available for inspection by Owner or Owner’s Agent during reasonable business hours and after reasonable notice, and allow Owner or Owner’s Agent to make photocopies thereof.

(j) As soon as reasonably practicable, place decals, plates and/or such other marks, legends, or decals on the Containers to indicate that such Containers are owned by Owner and that they may be subject to a security interest in favor of one or more financial institutions. Manager may also label the Containers with all of its customary labels, marks and decals and/or to indicate that they are managed by Manager. The cost of placing all such marks, legends or decals on the Containers shall be included in the Per Container Price and Total Invoice Price paid by Owner.

(k) Advise Owner with respect to the sale of any Containers and, upon request of Owner, cooperate with Owner to use good faith efforts in securing a purchaser for such Containers; provided, however, that except as expressly provided in Section 4(c), 4(d), 7, and Section 13 hereof, Manager shall not have any authority to offer for sale, contract or agree to sell, or sell any of the Containers.

(l) Upon removal of any Container from coverage under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13(a)(ii), unless such Container is sold or disposed of by Manager on behalf of Owner in accordance with Section 13(a)(ii), arrange as promptly as possible for the transportation of such Container, at Owner’s expense, in an “as is” condition to such destination as requested by the Owner.

(m) Subject to Section 13, cause Capital Improvements to be made to the Containers.

(n) Concurrently with the monthly payment of Owner’s Net Distribution required under Section 9 of this Agreement, remit into Owner’s Account the amount of Net Proceeds from Sale or Disposition of Containers accrued during such time period, and notify Owner’s Agent of the date and amount of such payment.

(o) Should Owner decide to utilize the Containers as collateral for the purpose of raising Debt Capital, Manager will cooperate with Owner with respect to Owner’s negotiation and documentation of Owner’s Debt Capital, provided that Manager shall not have any responsibility for arranging Owner’s Debt Capital, and further provided that Manager’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs with respect thereto will be reimbursed by Owner on demand.

(p) Except for: (i) any security interest granted- by Owner with respect to Owner’s Containers, (ii) the rights of Manager under this Agreement; (iii) the rights of the Lessees under the Leases; not create or suffer to exist any lien, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance in or on the Containers or any component thereof other than Permitted Liens, or permit the Containers to be or become subject to any lien, security interest, mortgage, or other encumbrance other than Permitted Liens.

(q) Provide such advice and perform such services incidental to the management of the Containers as may from time to time be reasonably requested in writing by Owner.

It is recognized and agreed that Manager’s services for, and its obligations and rights with respect to, Owner and the owners of other containers in Manager’s Fleet are several. It is expressly understood herein that any actions taken on behalf of Owner and/or other owners of containers in Manager’s Fleet will be taken as agent for Owner and for such other owners, severally and individually.

Under no circumstances may this Agreement be interpreted to provide for a sharing of benefits between Owner and the owners of other containers managed by Manager.

(b) Manager acknowledges that, except with respect to the obligations of Owner to make the payments of the fees and expenses set forth in this Agreement, Manager shall have no property interest in any funds generated by, or in connection with, the operation of the Containers.

Any Management Fee that would have been paid but for the operation of the Management Fee Ceiling, wholly or partially, for any quarter shall not be carried over to or paid ***.

If the *** generated by all the Containers for a particular month is ***, the Management Fee for that month shall be *** (the “Management Fee Ceiling”) of the total dollar amount of NOI produced by Owner’s Fleet during that month. If the *** generated by all the Containers for a particular month is *** ***, the Management Fee for that month shall be *** (on the basis of linear interpolation) between the Management Fee Floor and the Management Fee Ceiling.

If the quarterly Management Fee so recomputed is *** the dollar amount of the total of the ***, the Manager will make an *** to the final calculation of Owner’s Net Distribution for such quarter made in accordance with Section 9(b) so that the *** paid will equal the quarterly Management Fee so recomputed. If the quarterly Management Fee so recomputed is *** the dollar amount of the total of the ***, the Manager will make a *** to the final calculation of Owner’s Net Distribution for such quarter made in accordance with Section 9(b) so that the *** paid will equal the quarterly Management Fee so recomputed. Any adjustment to the quarterly Management Fee required by this subsection shall be implemented by adjusting ***, as applicable in each month during the following quarter until such adjustment has been fully implemented, or, if insufficient Management Fees or Net Distributions, as applicable, are generated during the following quarter to implement the adjustment required hereunder, the party which has received the overpayment shall remit in cash or cash equivalents, the outstanding balance due the other party at the end of the following quarter.

EXPENSES, LOSSES OR LIABILITIES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST OWNER AS A RESULT OF MANAGER’S NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR A BREACH BY MANAGER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR DEFAULT BY MANAGER IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE INCURRED BY OWNER AS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT RESULT OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY MISREPRESENTATION OF MANAGER. THE INDEMNITY DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL NOT INCLUDE INDEMNIFICATION FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS OR SIMILAR CLAIMS ARISING UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY WHATSOEVER, WHETHER TORT OR CONTRACT, IN LAW OR IN EQUITY.

(c) If any claim, action, damage, expense, loss or liability directly or indirectly arises as a result of the negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement or the default by both Owner and Manager, responsibility shall be apportioned based upon the degree to which each Party’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement or default contributed to the ultimate claim, action, damage, expense, loss or liability.

(d) The indemnifications in favor of Owner and Manager provided for in this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. Reports.

(a) Within ten (10) days following the final business day of each month, Manager will submit to Owner’s Agent a report showing Revenues for the previous month, Operating Expenses for the previous month, the estimated Management Fee due to Manager for the previous month, and the estimated Net Distribution to Owner due with respect to the previous month, calculated separately for each Pool of Containers and Original Containers then covered under this Agreement and/or the Initial Management Agreement. The report required hereunder shall precede the monthly remittance from Manager to Owner contemplated under Section 9(b) of this Agreement, and the figures contained therein shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the quarterly adjustment provisions of subsection 9(b) of this Agreement.

(b) Not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of every calendar quarter, Manager will furnish to Owner’s Agent at Manager’s expense, a reconciliation of all the calculations included under Section 4(b), Section 7, and Section 9 with respect to accounts receivable and accounts payable balances at quarter-end for all Containers, and an unaudited statement of operations and operating statistics relative to Manager’s compliance with Section 4(b)(i), all in form acceptable to Owner, said statement of operations and operating statistics to be with respect to the Containers and also with respect to all containers in Manager’s Fleet of the same Container Types as the Containers, for such period and for all the preceding quarterly periods in the calendar year. The aforesaid reconciliations will be provided both on separate basis for each Pool of Containers and Original Containers then covered under this Agreement and/or the Initial Management Agreement and on an aggregated basis for all Pools of Containers and Original Containers then covered under this Agreement and/or the Initial Management Agreement.

(c) Not later than ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year, Manager will deliver to Owner’s Agent a report prepared by a firm of independent certified public accountants as to their review (which review will not constitute, and is not intended to be the equivalent of, an audit of the operations of Manager’s Fleet), prepared (at the expense of Owner) with respect to accounts receivable and accounts payable balances at year-end for all Containers, of the operations of the Containers and the correctness of the computations made by Manager pursuant to Section 4(b), Section 7, and Section 9 for the immediately preceding calendar year and the conformity of the procedures followed by Manager in connection with such computations to the obligations and duties of Manager under this Agreement.

(d) Owner shall have the reasonable right to approve the selection of the firm of independent certified public accountants that prepare the review described in Section 11(c) above. The current firm used by Manager is KPMG Peat Marwick which Owner hereby approves. Further, if Owner wishes to have an audit instead of a review, Owner shall pay the incremental cost thereof, and Manager shall cooperate fully in said audit.

(e) If Owner should utilize the Containers as collateral for a Debt Financing, Manager will furnish to Owner’s lender(s), if so requested by Owner, and to Owner and Owner’s Agent on a monthly basis, such other information as Manager generally provides to owners of containers managed by it.

12. Events of Default.

(a) The occurrence of any of the following events shall be an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement:

(i) The failure of either Party to pay to the other any net amounts due within ten (10) days after any such amounts are due and payable under this Agreement or the Initial Management Agreement;

(ii) The breach by either Party of any material term, covenant or condition under this Agreement or the Initial Management Agreement, other than as specified in paragraph (i) above, which is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach;

(iii) Any material representation or warranty made by Manager or Owner in this Agreement or the Initial Management Agreement shall prove to have been false in any material respect at the time made;

(iv) Failure by either Party to pay its debts generally as they become due, the filing by either Party of any petition or action under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors generally; or

(v) The filing of any involuntary petition under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or moratorium law against either Party that is not dismissed within ninety (90) days thereafter, or the appointment of any custodian, receiver, or trustee to take possession of the property of either Party unless such petition is set aside or withdrawn within ninety (90) days from the date of said filing or appointment.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by a Party under this Agreement and in addition to any other remedies provided under applicable law, the other Party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon delivery to the defaulting Party of notice of such termination and/or pursue any other remedies available at law or equity.

(c) Upon termination of this Agreement because of default by Manager under this Section 12, Manager shall cooperate with Owner regarding the orderly transition of the management of the Containers pursuant to Section 4(g). If this Agreement is terminated by Owner as a result of a breach hereof by Manager as aforesaid, the rights of the Lessees under any then existing Leases of the Containers shall not be affected by termination of this Agreement so long as such Lessees remain in compliance with the terms of such Leases. In the latter circumstances Manager agrees to use its best efforts to ensure that an orderly transition of responsibility for the Containers shall be made in accordance with Owner’s directions and in a manner which will not disturb the rights of such Lessees, including, but not limited to, transferring to Owner suitable Substitute Containers in place of such on-Lease Containers.

13. Capital Improvements.

(a) If it is necessary in Manager’s reasonable opinion to make Capital Improvements to any or all of the Containers, Owner shall, within fifteen (15) days of notice from Manager of the estimated cost of such Capital Improvements either:

(ii) agree to pay for the cost of such Capital Improvements to any or all of such Containers; or

(iii) refuse to pay for the cost of such improvements to any or all of such Containers, in which case such Containers to which the recommended Capital Improvements are not made will cease to be covered by this Agreement as of the date Manager receives Owner’s written refusal to pay for the requested Capital Improvements. Owner will then have the option of selling any and all such Containers or of appointing Manager to sell or otherwise dispose of such Containers on such terms and conditions as are consistent with the sales market for used containers of similar type, age and condition in the geographic area in which such Container(s) is/are located.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Capital Improvements requested by Manager are required to bring such Containers into conformity with any changes in applicable governmental regulations or industry standards applying to containers in general, Owner agrees that the requested Capital Improvement will be made at Owner’s expense to any of the Containers which are at the time of request and can reasonably be expected to remain on Lease to Lessees on the effective date(s) of such change(s) in regulations or standards, although Owner may elect the option contained in (ii) above with respect to any of the Containers which can reasonably be expected to be off Lease on the effective date(s) of such change(s) in regulations or standards.

(b) The cost of any Capital Improvement made to any of the Containers is acknowledged to be the responsibility of Owner. In connection therewith, any payments, including, without limitation, insurance proceeds or indemnity payments from Lessees (which shall not constitute Revenues hereunder and which shall be paid directly to Owner without

deduction) received to cover any of the foregoing shall be first used to pay for any of the foregoing. If pursuant to Section 13(a)(i) Owner has agreed to pay for the cost of Capital Improvements, Manager shall have the right to require Owner to pay to Manager upon fifteen (15) days prior notice and demand the cost as invoiced for any Capital Improvement not otherwise paid for, as aforesaid, and Manager shall apply such payments to accomplish the same.

14. Representations and Warranties.

(iv) No authorization or approval from, consent of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental or public body or authority, except as has been obtained or made or will be obtained or made in the ordinary course of Manager’s container leasing business, is necessary for the execution or delivery by Manager of this Agreement, the validity of this Agreement or the holding under lease or operation and leasing of the containers in Manager’s Fleet by Manager.

(v) Except to the extent that (A) the same are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings in such manner so as not to cause any materially adverse effect upon the financial condition of Manager or the loss of any right of redemption from any sale thereunder, or the rights of Owner in, or Owner’s title to, Owner’s Containers; or (B) Manager shall have set aside on its books reserves as required by, and in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles, (I) there are no material tax liabilities of Manager due or to become due for any tax year ended on or prior to the date of Manager’s most recent annual audited financial statements provided to Owner whether incurred in respect of or measured by the income of Manager prior to such date, which are not properly reflected in such financial statements or for which Manager is not entitled to appropriate indemnities from a party not an affiliate of Manager, (II) there are no material claims pending or, to the knowledge of Manager, proposed or threatened against Manager for past taxes, and (III) Manager has filed all domestic and foreign federal, state and material local income, sales, use and franchise tax returns required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes shown by such returns to be due and payable, and has filed all other tax returns, domestic or foreign, and paid all other taxes, reasonably believed by Manager to be required to be filed and to be due and payable, and there are no waivers or agreements by Manager for an extension of time for the assessment of any tax.

(vii) There are no suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Manager, threatened against Manager in any court or before any regulatory commission, board or other governmental administrative agency which if adversely determined would have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of Manager, financial or otherwise, or on its ability to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or to lease and operate the containers in Manager’s Fleet.

(viii) Neither this Agreement nor any other written statement furnished to Owner by Manager in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact known to Manager or omits to state a material fact known to Manager necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) The waiver of any breach of any term or condition hereof by the non-defaulting party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, whether of like or different nature.

(h) If any term or provision of this Agreement or the performance thereof shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Lessee further agrees to pay Lessor upon demand the Replacement Value of any equipment which has not been returned within the foregoing twenty day period. Upon such return or repossession of the equipment, Lessee will pay immediately to Lessor, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain, which the parties agree are fair and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time this Agreement is entered into, and not as a penalty, and in lieu of any further payments of rent for the equipment, the following: (aa) all rent and other amounts due for such equipment as of such date of return or repossession, (bb) an additional payment of three month’s rent for the equipment to compensate Lessor for the reasonable estimate of the time and expense required to locate a new Lessee for the equipment (the “Remarketing Period”), (cc) an amount equal to the present value of the difference between the total remaining rental payments for the unexpired minimum lease term, if any, (commencing at the end of the Remarketing Period) and the fair market rent for the same period discounted at a rate per annum equal to the discount rate for 13-week Treasury Bills as of the date on which the equipment is returned or repossessed (as such rate is reported in the Money Rates column in the Wall Street Journal), and (dd) any and all incidental damages suffered by Lessor as a result of Lessee’s default, less any expenses saved by Lessor in consequence of the default.

c. Without in any way limiting the obligations of Lessee hereunder, Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Lessee, with full power and authority at any time that Lessee is obligated to deliver possession of any equipment to Lessor, to demand and take possession of such equipment in the name and on behalf of Lessee from whomsoever shall be at the time in possession such equipment.

d.

Lessee further irrevocably waives any immunity from the execution or enforcement of any judgment obtained in any legal action or arbitration proceeding worldwide.

e. Termination of the leasing of the equipment as a result of Lessee’s default shall not relieve Lessee of any liabilities or obligations to Lessor accrued prior to such default and Lessee shall in any event remain fully liable for reasonable damages as provided by law, and for all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor on account of such default including all costs of recovering equipment, legal costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to waive any remedy or relief available to Lessor hereunder, in equity, in admiralty, or at law upon the occurrence of any event set forth in this section.

f. Any forbearance by Lessor to enforce its rights hereunder in the event of a default by Lessee shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor’s rights, nor shall said forbearance waive Lessor’s rights with respect to any other failure by Lessee to comply strictly with its obligations to Lessor.

The total all-inclusive price for the *** units will be $***. The acquisition and management of these containers will take place in the second quarter of 1996 under the terms and conditions set out below.

Manufacture of Containers. The containers will be manufactured in March, April and May of 1996 by manufacturers normally utilized by CAI for the manufacture of containers for CAI’s own account. The manufacturers will be located in China, India, Malaysia and Bangkok. Approximately 65 % of the units will be manufactured in China, 15% in Malaysia, 15% in Bangkok and 5% in India. Actual percentages may differ based on market demand. All *** containers will be constructed in accordance with CAI Standard Specification for General Cargo Steel Containers dated July 11, 1995, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. All will be inspected and certified as in compliance with IICL standards by Bureau Veritas or an equivalent agency.

Payment, Delivery & Passage of Title. Approximately one-third of the containers will be delivered to P&R at the end of April, one-third at the end of May and one-third at the end of June. The payment dates for these three deliveries will be April 30, May 31 and June 28, 1996. CAI will invoice P&R approximately two weeks prior to each payment date, and P&R will transfer funds from its Swiss bank account to CAI’s designated bank account effective on the three payment dates. Title will pass to P&R on the dates the fund transfers are completed.

Management Agreement. Beginning on the date P&R pays for each container and continuing through June 30, 2006, CAI will manage the containers for P&R under an Amendment to the Management Agreement currently in effect between P&R and CAI (the “P&R/CAI Agreement”). The Amendment to the P&R/CAI Management Agreement will give P&R two one-year options to renew following June 30, 2006 under the same terms and conditions relating to renewal options as are contained in the P&R/CAI Management Agreement.

Allocation of Revenues & Expenses. During the period of time which commences on the date that CAI takes initial possession of a container from a manufacturer and continuing up to, but not including, the day on which P&R pays for that container (the “Pre-Payment Period”) all revenues and direct operating expenses generated by the container, with the exception of net repositioning expenses described below, will be credited to CAI’s account. Commencing on the day P&R pays CAI for a container and continuing through the term of Amendment to the P&RICAI Management Agreement including any renewals thereto, all revenues and expenses generated by that container shall be for P&R’s account under the terms and conditions of the said Management Agreement. PROVIDED THAT during the Pre-Payment Period all repositioning expenses reasonably incurred by CAI to expedite the initial lease-out of a container shall be for the account of P&R and all revenues generated in the form of handling charges or other charges billed to and paid by a lessee which are related to such repositioning shall also be credited to P&R’s account.
