4. AUTHORITY; CONSENTS.

The Owner confers (and will cause the Capital Companies to confer) on the Manager all such authorities and grants all such consents as may be necessary for the Manager’s performance of its duties under this Agreement, agrees to comply with Applicable Laws in connection with the Owner Containers, and will, at the request of the Manager, confirm any such authorities and consents to any third parties, execute such other documents and do such other things as the Manager may reasonably request for the purpose of giving full effect to this Agreement and enabling the Manager to carry out its duties hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of Clauses 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4, the Manager shall, no later than seven (7) Business Days after the last Business Day of each week, distribute from the Manager Collection Account and deposit into the Owner Bank Account an amount equal to the Pre-Adjustment Owner Proceeds for such week, net of expenses (other than Operating Expenses) to be reimbursed to the Manager. In the last week of the each calendar month the Manager will deduct from the Pre-Adjustment Owner Proceeds to be deposited into the Owner Bank Account an amount equal to the actual Management Fee in the prior month as an estimate of the Management Fee (“Estimated Management Fee”) for such calendar month. When the Manager closes its books for a calendar month, it will make a final determination of the Owner Proceeds and the actual Management Fee for such month. If (a) the Pre-Adjustment Owner Proceeds less the Estimated Management Fee for such month is less than (b) the actual Owner Proceeds less the actual Management Fee for such month, the Manager will remit the difference to the Owner by distributing such difference to the Owner Bank Account within ten (10) days after the close of the Manager’s accounting records for such calendar month. If (a) the Pre-Adjustment Owner Proceeds less the Estimated Management Fee for such month is more than (b) the actual Owner Proceeds less the actual Management Fee for such month, the Manager will deduct the difference from one or more future payments of Pre-Adjustment Owner Proceeds to be made to the Owner.

6.2 Manager’s Right of Offset. The Manager may, at its option, offset and deduct from amounts received or held by the Manager for the credit of the Owner (or the relevant Capital Companies) any amount due from the Owner (or the relevant Capital Companies) to the Manager under this Agreement.

6.3 Indemnification Proceeds. When the Manager receives Indemnification Proceeds, the Manager shall retain for its own account such Indemnification Proceeds to the extent the Manager has not been reimbursed for the costs incurred by the Manager to which such

Indemnification Proceeds apply, and shall, within seven (7) days after receipt, deposit the balance, if any, of such Indemnification Proceeds into the Owner Bank Account.

6.4 Reimbursements of Expenses to Manager. Without limiting the general indemnification obligations of the Owner pursuant to Clause 18.1 hereof, the Owner shall be responsible for the payment of, and shall reimburse the Manager for all expenses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments, losses and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by or asserted against the Manager as a result of the Owner’s failure to comply with or perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Manager may deduct such amounts from any distribution of Pre-Adjustment Owner Proceeds.

6.5 Obligation to Deposit. Except as permitted in this Clause 6, the Manager’s obligation under this Clause 6 to deposit any amount to the Owner Bank Account shall be absolute and unconditional and all payments thereof shall be made free and clear of and without any deduction for or on account of any set-off or counterclaim or any circumstance, recoupment, defense or other right which the Manager may have against the Owner or any other Person for any reason whatsoever (whether in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any other transactions), including without limitation, (i) any defect in title, condition, design or fitness for use, or any damage to or loss or destruction, of any Owner Container, (ii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization or similar Proceeding by or against the Manager or any other Person, or (iii) any other circumstance, occurrence or event whatsoever, whether or not unforeseen or similar to any of the foregoing.

6.6 Withholding Tax.

(a) If at any time while this Agreement is in effect, the Manager is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge with respect to any amount payable by the Manager to Owner hereunder, the Manager shall thereupon be entitled to make the deduction or withholding, up to the amount required by law, and any amount so deducted or withheld by the Manager and paid by the Manager to the applicable taxing authority pursuant to and in accordance with the deduction or withholding requirement shall be deemed to have been paid by the Manager to Owner in satisfaction of the requirements of this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the generality of subclause (a) above, the Owner, at Owner’s expense, agrees to execute and deliver (and will cause the relevant Capital Companies to execute and deliver) all such documents and instruments, and to take all such action, as the Manager shall reasonably request to lawfully minimize amounts to be deducted or withheld pursuant to the tax deduction or withholding requirement or to obtain an exemption from the deduction or withholding requirement and to effect any necessary compliance therewith.

7. REPORTS/BOOKS AND RECORDS/INSPECTION/CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION/AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.

7.1 Manager Reports. The Manager shall, no later than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, deliver the Manager Report for such month to the

7.5 Notice of Manager Default or Other Events. Without being deemed to have made any admission of law or fact or waived any of its rights or remedies, the Manager also shall deliver to the Owner and the Lenders’ Security Agent:

(a) Promptly upon the Manager becoming aware of the existence of any condition or event which constitutes a Manager Default (as defined in Clause 11.1 below) or a Termination Right Event (as defined in Clause 11.2 below) or which, with notice or the passage of time or both, would become a Manager Default or a Termination Right Event, a written notice describing in sufficient detail the nature and period of existence of such Manager Default or Termination Right Event and what action the Manager is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto;

(b) Promptly upon the Manager becoming aware of:

(i) any threatened or pending investigation of the Manager by any Governmental Authority; or

a written notice specifying in sufficient detail the nature of such investigation or Proceeding and what action the Manager is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto and an evaluation of the merits thereof, provided such evaluation can be reasonably made

and provided further that the provision of such evaluation will not materially prejudice the Manager in connection with such investigation or Proceeding or constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrine or similar rights in any relevant jurisdiction; and further subject to the confidentiality provisions of Clause 7.8.

7.6 Books and Records. The Manager shall maintain, at its office or at the office of its Affiliate, Textainer Equipment Management (U.S.) Limited, located at 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 XXX, such books and records (including computer records) with respect to the Owner Containers as it maintains for the Managed Containers and the leasing thereof, including a computer database including the Owner Containers, any Leases relating thereto and the Lessees (if on-hire) or location (if off-hire). The Manager shall notify the Owner of any change in the location of the Manager’s books and records.

During each such Operational Review, the Person conducting such inspection shall also be afforded supervised review of the data contained in Manager’s computer systems and data contained therein pertaining to the Owner Containers, subject to appropriate security safeguards. Any such Operational Review shall be conducted during normal business hours and shall not unreasonably disrupt the Manager’s business. The Owner and the Lenders’ Security Agent shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate, to the extent possible, the timing of each of their Operational Reviews and shall each have the right to one (1) such Operational Review per calendar year, to be conducted at the sole expense of the Owner. Neither the Owner nor the Lenders’ Security Agent shall be under any obligation to conduct any such Operational Reviews and any such Operational Review shall not relieve the Manager of or constitute any waiver of any of the obligations of the Manager hereunder.

(b) The Owner and the Lenders’ Security Agent shall have the right, upon reasonable request, to inspect the Owner Containers at any time, upon reasonable notice and to the extent the Manager has access thereto, subject to the Leases, and provided such inspection does not interfere with utilization of the Owner Containers in the ordinary course of business.

7.8 Confidential Information.

(a) By accepting its respective rights under this Agreement, each of the parties (each a “Recipient”) is deemed to have agreed to hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any third Person at any time any and all of the information and matters (collectively, “Confidential Information”) which is or will be disclosed to Recipient by or on behalf of the Manager or the Owner pursuant to this Agreement (including but not

limited to this Clause 7). Each Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information only to its Affiliates, employees, representatives, accountants, legal counsel, financial advisors, lenders, agents, and in the case of the Owner, the Lenders and the Lenders’ Security Agent (collectively with the Recipient, the “Recipient Parties”) who need to know such information and who are bound by restrictions regarding nondisclosure and use of such information comparable to and no less restrictive than those set forth herein. Each Recipient Party shall take the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication or dissemination of the Confidential Information. None of the Recipient Parties further shall use any of the Confidential Information for the benefit of itself or any third Person; provided however that notwithstanding the foregoing any Recipient Party on its behalf may disclose the Confidential Information to any Recipient Parties and may itself use the Confidential Information as is necessary to perform its obligations or preserve or enforce its rights under this Agreement or any related agreement.

(b) The foregoing obligations of this Clause 7.8, including the restrictions on disclosure and use, shall not apply with respect to any Confidential Information to the extent such Information: (i) is or becomes readily known to the general public through no act or omission of any Recipient Party; (ii) is required by involuntary legal process under order of a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction; provided however that prior to any such compelled disclosure, the Recipient Party shall give the Manager reasonable advance notice of any such disclosure and shall cooperate with the Manager in protecting against any such disclosure and obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure and use of the Confidential Information; (iii) is legally required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable securities or banking or financial laws to relevant regulatory authorities, provided however that the content of any statement or submission or announcement that shall become public shall be subject to reasonable notice of such intended disclosure to the disclosing party to the extent reasonably practicable; or (iv) is approved for disclosure in advance by the Manager in its discretion.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the Confidential Information shall be and remain the exclusive property of the Manager or the Owner (or the relevant Capital Companies), as the case may be; no express or implied interest or license in the Confidential Information is being granted; and all rights and interests therein are reserved.

(d) Except as may be otherwise expressly agreed to in writing, and in addition to the other limitations in this Agreement, no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied or written or oral, are given by the disclosing party with respect to any Confidential Information or the use or accuracy thereof, all of which are disclaimed; and the Confidential Information is provided on an “AS IS” basis.

(e) Recipient agrees that, due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the unauthorized disclosure or use of such Confidential Information may

cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the disclosing party, the extent of which may be difficult to ascertain and for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. Recipient therefore agrees that the disclosing party, in addition to any other available remedies, shall have the right to seek an immediate injunction and other equitable relief enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement without the necessity of posting any bond or other security.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Recipient (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such Person or entity) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction (as defined in United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) and all related materials of any kind, including opinions or other tax analyses, that are provided to such Person or entity. However, such Person or entity may not disclose any other information relating to this transaction unless such information is related to such tax treatment and tax structure. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that, effective immediately upon commencement of discussions between them with respect to the services to be performed and the other transactions between the parties to be consummated pursuant to this Agreement (the “Transactions”), each of them (and each of their employees, representatives, or other agents) has been and is permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal tax treatment and federal tax structure of the Transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to them relating to such federal tax treatment and federal tax structure. This provision is intended to qualify the Transactions as not offered under conditions of confidentiality as set forth in Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) of the US Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted to authorize disclosure only to the extent necessary to so qualify. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that this written authorization does not constitute a waiver by any party of any privilege held by such party pursuant to the attorney-client privilege or the confidentiality privilege of the US Internal Revenue Code Section 7525(a), to the extent applicable; and does not constitute an admission that any of the parties or any of the Transactions are subject to US tax laws or reporting obligations.

(g) The obligations of this Clause 7.8 with respect to any item of Confidential Information shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

In the case of a Manager Default only, the foregoing rights shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies the Owner may have under Applicable Law.

11.4 Owner Default. The Manager may, at its option and in addition to its other remedies at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice to such effect to the Owner in the event that the Owner fails to observe or perform any material obligation under this Agreement, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice of demand therefor from the Manager to the Owner; provided however that if the nature of the Owner’s noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then the Owner shall not be deemed to be in default thereof if the Owner, in good faith, has commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

11.5 Rights Upon Termination.

recover possession or control of any Owner Container prior to the date such Owner Container becomes a Terminated Owner Container. Promptly after a Container becomes a Terminated Owner Container, if such Terminated Owner Container is not sold, lost or unrecoverable, the Manager shall (i) with respect to a Terminated Owner Container which is not subject to a Finance Lease, deliver to the Owner a report of the location of such Terminated Owner Container, and (ii) with respect to a Terminated Owner Container which is subject to a Finance Lease, assign such Finance Lease to the Owner or such other party as the Owner shall designate in writing to the Manager.

11.6 Transfer to Replacement Manager. In the event of the appointment of a Replacement Manager pursuant to and in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Manager shall cooperate at its expense with the Owner or its assignee in transferring to such Replacement Manager the management of the Owner Containers as they become Terminated Owner Containers, including but not limited to making available all books and records (including data contained in the Manager’s computer systems) pertaining to the Owner Containers, providing access to, and cooperating in the transfer of, information pertaining to the Owner Containers from the Manager’s computer system to the computer system of the Replacement Manager, and taking any other action as may be reasonably requested by the Replacement Manager, the Owner or their assignees for the orderly assumption of management of the Owner Containers by such Replacement Manager.

11.7 Waiver or Forbearance of Default. The Owner or the Manager, as the case may be, (a) may in its sole discretion but shall not be obligated to waive or forbear from the declaration of any default by the other party or the exercise of any one or more of the remedies available as a consequence thereof; and (b) further may in its sole discretion but shall not be obligated to unilaterally extend any time for the performance or cure by the other party hereunder. Upon any such waiver or any permitted cure of a default, such default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement; and each of the parties shall be restored to their respective positions prior to the existence of such default. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

12. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF MANAGER SERVICES.

During the Term, the Manager may provide services (whether similar or dissimilar) directly or indirectly to any other Person or on behalf of any other Person, or own, manage and transact in Containers or other property for its own account.

Affiliates have contracted to perform and (ii) any such contract or other arrangements between the Manager and its Affiliate shall terminate with respect to the Owner Containers upon the termination of the Manager hereunder.

14. NO LIENS ON OWNER CONTAINERS.

The Manager shall not create or permit to exist any lien or restriction of any kind in favor of any Person with respect to the Owner Containers other than Leases and other than Liens created by the Owner.

15. NO PARTNERSHIP.

Nothing in the Agreement or any performance hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto.

16. FORCE MAJEURE.

Neither party shall (i) be deemed to be in breach of its obligations hereunder following the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure, or (ii) be liable to the other for any loss or damage that may be suffered as a direct or indirect result of the performance of any of their respective obligations being prevented, hindered or delayed by reason of and during the period of any event of Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” shall mean any act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, act of terrorism, strike, lock-out, trade dispute or labor disturbance, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, explosion, fire, flood, earthquake, impossibility in obtaining workmen, materials or transport, government action, epidemic, impossibility in obtaining access to any Owner Containers, or other circumstances whatsoever outside the reasonable control of such party affecting the performance of such party’s duties hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 16 shall be deemed to affect the obligations of any insurer under any policy of insurance or any Lessee arising under the provisions in the applicable Lease relating to a Casualty Loss of Owner Containers.

17. CURRENCY/BUSINESS DAY.

17.1 United States Dollars. All sums payable to the Manager under this Agreement shall be paid in US Dollars; all references to dollars in this Agreement shall mean US Dollars.

17.2 Payment on Business Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment becomes due hereunder is not a Business Day, then such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date.

18. INDEMNIFICATION.

18.1 Owner Obligations. Subject to Clause 8.2 hereof, the Owner agrees to and hereby does fully indemnify, hold and defend each and all of the Manager and its Affiliates, and their

respective shareholders, officers, directors, agents, employees, representatives, successors and permitted assignees (collectively, “Manager Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, damages, judgments, expenses, losses or liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending against the same (collectively, “Claims or Losses”) which may be incurred or suffered by or asserted against any Manager Indemnified Party and which arise from or relate to the Owner Containers or any services rendered or to be rendered by the Manager to or on behalf of the Owner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided however that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Claims or Losses to the extent caused by, or arising from, (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Manager Indemnified Party, or (ii) a breach by Manager of its contractual obligations hereunder, or (iii) any material misrepresentation made by Manager herein.

Subject to Clause 8.2 hereof, Manager agrees to, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner or the relevant Capital Companies, its permitted assignees and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the foregoing, an “Owner Indemnified Party”) against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and reasonable legal fees and expenses) which may be incurred or suffered by any Owner Indemnified Party as a result of Claims or Losses to the extent caused by, or arising from, the gross negligence or the willful misconduct of Manager or a breach by Manager of its contractual obligations hereunder or any material misrepresentation made by Manager herein.

Any party may change its notice address by notifying the other parties of such change of address in conformity with the provisions of this Clause 21.1.

21.2 Attorneys’ Fees. If any Proceeding is brought for enforcement of this Agreement or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, in connection with any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to other relief to which it may be entitled, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith.

21.3 Further Acts. The Owner and the Manager shall each perform such further acts and execute such further documents as may be reasonably necessary to implement the intent of,

and consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement; provided however that no material additional consideration or liability shall be required of any such party in connection with such acts.

21.4 Severability; Invalidity & Covenants.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement which held by the determination of a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction is unenforceable or invalid or unlawful in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability or invalidity or unlawful aspect without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such unenforceability or invalidity or unlawful aspect in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render such provisions unenforceable or invalid or unlawful in any other jurisdiction; and the parties shall attempt to reformulate any such invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision to the extent reasonably possible to reflect the benefits and burdens contemplated by the parties as of the Effective Date.

(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement (including subclause (a) above), (i) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of law now or hereafter in effect which renders any provision hereof unenforceable or invalid or unlawful in any respect; and (ii) Owner further agrees and covenants that it shall not at any time (or cause or directly instigate any other Person to) (A) assert any action or claim or counterclaim or defense seeking to have this Agreement or any material part hereof held or declared to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable (unless entitled hereto under Clause 11 of this Agreement); (B) assign or transfer or purport to assign or transfer any of the Owner Containers or any rights therein in a manner that xxxxxx or materially impairs the rights of the Manager with respect thereto under this Agreement, unless such assignment or transfer is undertaken with the prior written consent of the Manager in its sole discretion or unless Owner ensures that the acquiror accepts the assignment of this Agreement and the assumption of the rights and obligations of the Owner hereunder as relating to the transferred Owner Containers and the corresponding Leases, or the acquiror enters into a management agreement on the same terms as this Agreement as relating to the transferred Owner Containers and corresponding Leases; subject to the foregoing conditions the Owner shall be free to transfer the Owner Containers and all other contractual relationships of Owner or the Capital Entities to any of its Affiliates; (C) assign or transfer or purport to assign or transfer any of the Owner Containers or any rights therein to any entity that a U.S. entity is prohibited by applicable laws or regulations or any Governmental Authority from engaging in business with, including entities or countries sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the US Department of the Treasury; (D) place any lien or security interest of any kind in any right, title and interest in the Leases or any future leases under which the Owner Containers are leased out under, except to the extent such Leases or leases arise out of or in any way relate to (but only to the extent they relate to) the Owner Containers, provided, that, this Section 21.4(b)(ii)(D) does not prevent Owner from entering into (i) the General Security Assignment, dated as of July 23, 2007, by and between Capital Lease Limited, Capital Lease Assets Limited, Green Eagle Investments N.V. as Assignors, and ING Bank N.V. Netherlands as Security Agent (ii) the Fixed and Floating Charge over the Containers and the Capital Management

Accounts dated on or about July 23 2007 between Capital Lease, Capital Lease Assets Limited, the Owner and ING Bank NV as Security Agent and (iii) the assignment referred to in Clause 20; (E) amend or terminate any Leases without the consent of the Manager, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (F) lease any container that is not managed by the Manager pursuant to the this Agreement under the Leases.

Owner further acknowledges and agrees that until the Management Date (the period between Effective Date and the Management Date, the “Interim Period”), the Owner shall and shall cause Capital Lease and its Affiliates to manage the Owner Containers in the manner comparable to Capital Lease’s normal course of business, consistent with past practices. In addition, during the Interim Period, the Owner shall allow representatives of TEML to be present at Capital Lease or its relevant Affiliate to participate in the various decisions related to the management of the Owner Containers.

In addition, Owner shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and the Capital Lease and its Affiliates not to, allow any lien to exist with respect to any of the Management Rights Collateral in support of any obligations unless each of the grantee of such lien and Owner (and its Affiliates) irrevocably agrees that, while no Manager Default or a Termination Right Event is continuing, (i) such Person shall not take any action that might result in, or fail to take any action that might prevent, a loss or limitation of TEML’s right to manage Owner Containers (including TEML’s right to receive payment for such services as provided herein), (ii) it shall cause any future transferee of any of the Management Rights Collateral to assume such Person’s obligations under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of any of Owner, any Affiliate thereof or Capital Lease or its Affiliates, in the event of any bankruptcy of such Person, it shall, and shall cause any future transferee of any of the Management Rights Collateral to, assume all of Owner’s or such Affiliate’s (as the case may be) obligations under the this Agreement, provided, that the Non-Disturbance Agreement dated as of July 23, 2007 among inter alia ING Bank NV, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, as security agent for the senior lenders and the junior lenders, and Owner, shall satisfy the requirements under this paragraph for purposes of the Container Debt.

TEML has relied upon the assignment of the P&R Agreements (as defined in the SPA) in entering into this Agreement and paying the Rights Purchase Price (as defined in the TEML Purchase Agreement). If the P&R Agreements are not allowed to be assigned within a certain period of time contemplated under Section 10.8 of the SPA, subject to certain exceptions, Seller (as defined in the TEML Purchase Agreement) shall pay to Owner $6,000,000 (the “Textainer Rebate”). Owner shall and shall cause its Affiliates and the Capital Companies to: (i) use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Textainer Rebate; (ii) grant to TEML the right to make the request to P&R contemplated in Section 10.8(a) of the SPA within one (1) Business Day of the Closing; and (iii) pay to TEML the Textainer Rebate as soon as possible after receipt of the Textainer Rebate, but in any event not more than 5 Business Days thereafter, provided that TEML shall have the right to off-set the Textainer Rebate pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement if this amount is not paid within such 5 Business Days without regard to any indemnification clauses under the TEML Purchase Agreement or this Agreement. Owner acknowledges and agrees that any violation of subclause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall result in liquidated damages of TEML equal to the Textainer Rebate. The Second Management Service Agreement as well as the First and Second Purchase Agreements between the Parties all contain

this payment obligation and the Parties hereby clarify that collectively there shall be only one payment owed under any such clauses.

TEML has relied upon certain rights under the SPA in entering into the TEML Purchase Agreement and paying the Rights Purchase Price. Owner shall and shall cause its Affiliates and the Capital Companies to pursue with reasonable best efforts Owner’s rights under Section 10.6 and 10.8 of the SPA for TEML’s benefit at its election, to the extent TEML has rights thereunder as if TEML had been deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of those sections. In addition, Owner acknowledges that TEML is relying on certain rights under the SPA and agrees not to and shall not and shall cause its Affiliates and the Capital Companies not to consent to any amendments to Sections 5, 7, 8, 9, 10.3, 10.6, 14.3, 14.4 and 14.6 of the SPA without the prior written consent of TEML, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

21.5 Assignment of this Agreement; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each of the Owner and the Manager, and their respective successors in interest or permitted assigns; provided however that this Agreement and the rights and duties of a party hereunder may not be assigned or transferred by such party to any other Person, other than an Affiliate of such party, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt the Owner shall be free to assign and transfer this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any purported assignment or transfer by a party, except as permitted herein, shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the above, the Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Owner shall collaterally assign all of its rights, title and interest under this Agreement to the Lenders’ Security Agent. The Manager hereby consents to such assignment and agrees that subject to the terms and conditions of such assignment Lenders’ Security Agent shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement directly against the Manager as if a party hereto.

21.6 Waiver. Waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement (including any extension of time required for performance) shall be effective only if in writing signed by the party granting such waiver, and any such waiver shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or waiver of the same term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof.

21.7 Interpretation and Construction.

(a) Any reference herein to a section or clause shall be deemed to include a reference to any subsection and sub-clause thereof. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement, the table of contents and the recitals at the beginning of this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. Any reference made in this Agreement to a statute or statutory provision shall mean such statute or statutory provision as it has been amended through the date as of which the particular portion of the Agreement is to take effect, or to any successor statute or statutory provision relating to the same subject as such statutory provision referenced in this Agreement, and to any then applicable rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) The words “include” and “includes” and “including” and variations thereof used herein shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” in each case, unless otherwise expressly indicated to the contrary. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole (including its Schedules and Exhibits), unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.

(c) Words used herein, regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context requires.

(d) This Agreement has been carefully negotiated between the parties hereto with the full involvement and assistance of their respective legal counsel. The construction of this Agreement shall not take into consideration the party who drafted or whose representative drafted any portion of this Agreement. No canon of construction or presumption or other laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause shall be applicable and each party expressly waives the same.

21.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the TEML Purchase Agreement, the Second Purchase Agreement, the Second Management Agreement and the SPA (to the extent referred to herein), including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto, set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written or express or implied, by any party or any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto.

21.10 Amendment. The terms of this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Manager and the Owner.

21.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts each of which shall constitute an original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

21.12 Signatures. Any signature required with respect to this Agreement may be provided via facsimile or by electronic means and shall in either case be equally effective as the delivery of an originally executed counterpart.

21.13 Governing Law. This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California, United States of America (as permitted by Section 1646.5 of the California Civil Code as amended or superseded), without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of California to the rights and duties of the parties; provided however that any right to arbitration hereunder shall be interpreted and governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. (as amended or superseded). This Agreement and the transactions hereunder shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is hereby expressly excluded.

21.14 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Arbitration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, all disputes and controversies and claims arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration conducted by a single neutral arbitrator generally qualified in the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall be held in San Francisco, California. A party may seek confirmation and enforcement by any court of competent jurisdiction of any final award; or any injunctive or other interim relief provided by the arbitrator without waiting for a final award by the arbitrator. Either party also may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration under this Agreement or for emergency injunctive relief pending the outcome of such arbitration. The cost of any such arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties involved unless the arbitrator(s) deem such division of costs to be inequitable, in which event the arbitrator(s) may allocate the costs of arbitration among the parties thereto as they deem just and equitable under the circumstances. The parties hereto specifically agree that the provisions of Section 1283.05 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the State of California (as amended or superseded) are incorporated into, made a part of, and made applicable to any arbitration pursuant to this Clause where the aggregate amount in controversy exceeds Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$10,000), exclusive of costs, expenses and fees.

(b) Jurisdiction and Venue. Subject to and limited by the foregoing arbitration provisions of Clause 12.14(a), any such disputes and controversies and claims arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement and subject to litigation shall be resolved by the state and federal courts exclusively located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, U.S.A. All proceedings shall be conducted in English. Each party hereto waives 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, irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding. Provided that if the state and federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, U.S.A. do not accept jurisdiction thereof, then the party filing suit may do so in such other appropriate jurisdiction as selected by the filing party in its sole discretion.

(c) Service of Process. Process in any such action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world. The parties agree that delivery of any process in any means generally provided for notice pursuant to the notice provisions of Clause 21.1 hereof shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against the addressee, without the necessity for service by any other means provided by statute, court rule or other Applicable Law. Nothing in this Clause however shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The parties hereby irrevocably authorize and appoint the Persons specified below (or such other Persons as it may by notice to the other party hereto substitute) to accept service of all legal process arising out of or connected with this Agreement and service on such Person (or such substitute) shall be deemed to be service on the party concerned:
