11
(q) Title to Sold Assets; All Action Taken. Upon the transfer of any Sold Assets to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company will have had good and marketable title to such Sold Assets free and clear of any Liens other than (i) Permitted Encumbrances and (ii) with respect to Containers subject to a Lease, Encumbrances that the Lessee is required to remove pursuant to the terms of such Lease. Immediately after each of the transfers and conveyances to the Company as contemplated in this Agreement, all necessary action will have been taken by the Seller and the Company to validly transfer and convey to the Company all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the related Transferred Containers and the related Transferred Assets arising on or after the related Transfer Date;

12
(y) Master Lease Arrangements. In the case of each Lease which consists of a master lease and one or more exhibits or schedules thereto, each such exhibit or schedule (as it incorporates the terms of the master lease) constitutes a separate contractual lease obligation of the related Lessee, and permits full and partial assignments of the lessor’s rights thereunder to one or more secured parties;

(ll) UCC Classification. The Transferred Containers constitute “goods” or “inventory” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Leases constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC. The lease receivables constitute “accounts” or “proceeds” of the Leases with the meaning of the UCC;
(mm) Seller Title to Sold Assets. Immediately prior to the conveyance of the Sold Assets set forth in this Agreement, the Seller owned and had good and marketable title to such Sold Assets, free and clear of any Lien (whether senior, junior or pari passu), claim or encumbrance of any Person, except for Permitted Encumbrances;
(nn) Perfection of Security Interest. The Seller has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements or documents of similar import in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect the security interest in the related Sold Assets granted to the Company in this Agreement. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Company (and the Indenture Trustee, as its assignee) in connection herewith contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Company and the Indenture Trustee (as the assignee of the Company)”;
(oo) No Existing Liens. The Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed or released any of the related Sold Assets, except for any pledge or security interest that is released concurrently with the sale to the Company.

As of the Transfer Date, the Lease related to the Transferred Containers were entered into or acquired in the ordinary course of business of the Seller and contain commercially reasonable terms, consistent with the general trading terms that the Seller uses in the normal course of business;

Generally, the Lessee’s obligations under each Lease are “hell or high water” obligations that are, among other characteristics, absolute and not subject to any defenses, set-offs, or counterclaims; each Lease has no rescission, reduction, or recoupment provision except as to disputed amounts (in certain limited circumstances) and provides that, upon the making of a casualty payment, the obligation of the related Lessee to make Lease Payments thereunder will be reduced accordingly; and each Lease is a “net lease” under which the Lessee is responsible for all taxes, maintenance, and insurance and assumes all risk of casualty loss;
(tt) Purchase Option. No Lease provides a purchase option for any Transferred Container (subject to such Lease) to any Lessee which would result, when taken together with all rental payments previously made or required to be made under such Lease or any prior Lease with respect to such Transferred Container, in less than the Original Equipment Cost being realized on the disposition of the related Transferred Container;

26
Section 8.03. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE SELLER OR THE COMPANY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, MAY BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE SELLER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND, SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT, THE SELLER AND THE COMPANY EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE SELLER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINT AND DESIGNATE CSC CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY, HAVING AN ADDRESS AT 0000 XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXXX, XXXXX 000, XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX 00000-0000, ITS TRUE AND LAWFUL ATTORNEY-IN-FACT AND DULY AUTHORIZED AGENT FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSE OF ACCEPTING SERVICE OF LEGAL PROCESS AND THE SELLER AND THE COMPANY EACH AGREE THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON SUCH PARTY SHALL CONSTITUTE PERSONAL SERVICE OF SUCH PROCESS ON SUCH PERSON.

IF SUCH AGENT SHALL CEASE TO SO ACT, THE SELLER OR THE COMPANY, AS THE CASE MAY BE, SHALL IMMEDIATELY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT ANOTHER SUCH AGENT SATISFACTORY TO THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND SHALL PROMPTLY DELIVER TO THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE EVIDENCE IN WRITING OF SUCH OTHER AGENT’S ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH APPOINTMENT.
Section 8.04. Judgment Currency. Dollars shall be the currency of account in the case of all obligations under the Related Documents. The payment obligations of the Company, the Seller, the Manager and the Indenture Trustee under the Related Documents shall not be discharged by an amount paid in a currency, or in a place other than that specified with respect to such obligations, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on prompt conversion to Dollars and transfer to the specified place of payment under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of Dollars, in such place, due under the governing Related Documents. In the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer does not result in payment of such amount of Dollars in the specified place of payment, the obligee of such payment shall have a separate cause of action against the party making the same for the additional amount necessary to yield the amount due and owing under such Related Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court with respect to any obligation of a party under any of the Related Documents or any of the agreements contemplated thereby, it shall be necessary to convert to any other currency any amount in Dollars due thereunder and a change shall occur between the rate of exchange applied in making such conversion and the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment of such judgment, the respective judgment debtor agrees to pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to insure that the amount paid on the date of payment is the amount in such other currency which, when converted into Dollars and transferred to New York, New York, in accordance with normal banking procedures will result in the amount then due under the respective Related Document in Dollars. Any amount due from the respective judgment debtor shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by or merged into any judgment being obtained for any other sum due under or in respect of any Related Document. In no event, however, shall the respective judgment debtor be required to pay a larger amount in such other currency, at the rate of exchange in effect on the date of payment than the amount of Dollars stated to be due under the respective Related Document, so that in any event the obligations of the respective judgment debtor under the Related Document will be effectively maintained as Dollar obligations.
