interest) in Agent's rights under such lease or license.
(b) Other Collateral.
(i) Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor shall,
and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly notify Agent in writing
upon its obtaining knowledge of the incurrence of or obtaining a
Commercial Tort Claim after the Closing Date against any third party

Agreement and do such other acts or things deemed appropriate by Agent
to give Agent a security interest in any such Commercial Tort Claim.

documents as are necessary to perfect Agent's Lien upon any of the Collateral
and shall take such other action as may be required to perfect or to continue
the perfection of Agent's Lien upon the Collateral. Unless prohibited by
applicable law, such Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute (if
required) and file any such financing statements, including, without limitation,
financing statements that indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such
Grantor or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, or words of similar effect, or (ii)
as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater or lesser detail, than as
set forth in Subsection 1(a) above, on such Grantor's or the applicable
Subsidiary's behalf. Such Grantor, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries,
also hereby ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed in any
jurisdiction any like financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior
to the date hereof. The parties agree that a carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and
may be filed in any appropriate office in lieu thereof. At Agent's request, such
Grantor shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, also promptly execute or
cause to be executed and shall deliver to Agent any and all documents,
instruments and agreements deemed necessary by Agent to give effect to or carry
out the terms or intent of the Loan Documents. Such Grantor shall, and shall

(d) Lien on Realty. The due and punctual payment and
performance of the Obligations shall also be secured by the Lien created by
Mortgages upon all real Property of each Grantor and its Subsidiaries now or
hereafter owned. Each Mortgage shall be executed by such Grantor or the
applicable Subsidiary in favor of Agent. Each Mortgage shall be duly recorded,
at such Grantor's expense, in each office where such recording is required to
constitute a fully perfected first Lien on the real Property covered thereby.
Such Grantor shall deliver to Agent, at such Grantor's expense, mortgagee title
insurance policies issued by a title insurance company satisfactory to Agent,
which policies shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and shall
insure a valid first Lien in favor of Agent, for the benefit of itself and the
Lenders, on the Property covered by each Mortgage, subject only to those
exceptions acceptable to Agent and its counsel. Such Grantor shall deliver to
Agent such other documents, including, without limitation, as-built survey
prints of the real Property, as Agent and its counsel may request relating to
the real Property subject to the Mortgages.
2 Collateral Administration
(a) General
(i) Location of Collateral. All Collateral,
other than Inventory in transit and motor vehicles, will at all times
be kept by each Grantor at one or more of
4
business locations set forth in Exhibit 6.1.1 to the Loan Agreement, as
updated pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement.
(ii) Insurance of Collateral. Each Grantor shall
maintain and pay for insurance upon all Collateral wherever located and
with respect to the business of such Grantor, covering casualty,
hazard, public liability, workers' compensation and such other risks in
such amounts and with such insurance companies as are reasonably
satisfactory to Agent. Such Grantor shall deliver certified copies of
such policies to Agent as promptly as practicable, with satisfactory
lender's loss payable endorsements, naming Agent as loss payee on any
property insurance or business interruption insurance policies and as
an additional insured on any liability insurance policies, and showing
only such other loss payees, assignees and additional insureds as are
satisfactory to Agent. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall
contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than 10 days'
prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the
policy for nonpayment of premium and not less than 30 days' prior
written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for
any other reason whatsoever and a clause specifying that the interest
of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of
such Grantor, any of its Subsidiaries or the owner of the Property or
by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are
permitted by said policy. Such Grantor agrees to deliver to Agent,
promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any reporting
forms to insurance companies.
Unless such Grantor provides Agent with evidence of the insurance
coverage required by this Agreement, Agent may purchase insurance at
such Grantor's expense to protect Agent's interests in the Properties
of such Grantor. This insurance may, but need not, protect the
interests of such Grantor. The coverage that Agent purchases may not
pay any claim that such Grantor makes or any claim that is made against
such Grantor in connection with said Property. Such Grantor may later
cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent
with evidence that such Grantor has obtained insurance as required by
this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance, such Grantor will be
responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any
other charges Agent may impose in connection with the placement of
insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration
of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the
Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of
insurance that such Grantor may be able to obtain on its own.
(iii) Protection of Collateral. Neither Agent nor
any Lender shall be liable or responsible in any way for the
safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto
(except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral
is in Agent's or such Lender's actual possession) or for any diminution
in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman,
carrier, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever, but the same
shall be at such Grantor's sole risk.
(b) Administration of Accounts.
(i) Records, Schedules and Assignments of
Accounts. Each Grantor
5
shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, keep
accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and
collections thereon and shall submit to Agent on such periodic basis as
Agent shall request a sales and collections report for the preceding
period, in form consistent with the reports currently prepared by such
Grantor with respect to such information. Concurrently with the
delivery of each Borrowing Base Certificate by Borrower as required by
Subsection 8.1.4 of the Loan Agreement, or more frequently as requested
by Agent, from and after the date hereof, such Grantor shall deliver to
Agent a detailed aging of all of Accounts of such Grantor, and upon
Agent's request therefor, copies of proof of delivery and the original
copy of all documents, including, without limitation, repayment
histories and present status reports relating to the Accounts so
scheduled and such other matters and information relating to the status
of then existing Accounts as Agent shall reasonably request.
(ii) Taxes. If an Account includes a charge for
any tax payable to any governmental taxing authority, Agent is
authorized, in its sole discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the
proper taxing authority for the account of each Grantor or its
Subsidiary and to charge such Grantor therefor, except for taxes that
(i) are being actively contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings and with respect to which such Grantor or such Subsidiary
maintains reasonable reserves on its books therefor and (ii) would not
reasonably be expected to result in any Lien other than a Permitted
Lien. In no event shall Agent or any Lender be liable for any taxes to
any governmental taxing authority that may be due by such Grantor or
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
(iii) Account Verification. Any of Agent's
officers, employees or agents shall have the right, at any time or
times hereafter, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any
Grantor, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to
any Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise; provided, that
unless a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence, prior to
conducting each set of verifications, Agent shall generally consult
with such Grantor about the verification process. Such Grantor shall
cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly
conclude any such verification process.
(iv) Maintenance of Dominion Account. Each
Grantor shall maintain lockbox and blocked account arrangements
acceptable to Agent with such banks as may be selected by such Grantor
and be acceptable to Agent, for direct deposit of payments and other
remittances. Such Grantor shall also maintain a Dominion Account or
Accounts pursuant to lockbox and blocked account arrangements
acceptable to Agent with such banks as may be selected by such Grantor
and be acceptable to Agent. Such Grantor shall issue to any such banks
an irrevocable letter of instruction directing such banks to deposit
all payments or other remittances received in the lockbox and blocked
accounts to the Dominion Account for application on account of the
Obligations. All funds deposited in any Dominion Account shall
immediately become the property of Agent, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders, and such Grantor shall obtain the agreement by such banks in
favor of Agent to waive any offset rights against the funds so
deposited. In the event that the applicable bank is unwilling to waive
such rights, such Grantor shall, upon Agent's request to do so,
immediately transfer any funds deposited in such bank
6
accounts to a bank that will agree to waive such rights. Agent assumes
no responsibility for such lockbox and blocked account arrangements,
including, without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or
release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder.
(v) Collection of Accounts, Proceeds of
Collateral. To expedite collection, each Grantor shall endeavor in the
first instance to make collection of its Accounts for Agent. All
remittances received by such Grantor on account of Accounts, together
with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held as Agent's
property, for its benefit and the benefit of Lenders, by such Grantor
as trustee of an express trust for Agent's benefit and such Grantor
shall immediately deposit same in kind in the lockboxes or a Dominion
Account. Agent retains the right at all times after the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default to notify
Account Debtors that Accounts of such Grantor have been assigned to
Agent and to collect such Accounts directly in its own name and to
charge the collection costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, to
such Grantor.
(c) Records and Reports of Inventory, Machinery and
Equipment. Each Grantor shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
to, keep records of its Inventory, and Equipment, which records shall be
complete and accurate in all material respects. Such Grantor shall furnish to
Agent updates of Inventory and Equipment reports as required by Section 6.3 of
the Loan Agreement concurrently with the delivery by Borrower of each Borrowing
Base Certificate described in Subsection 8.1.4 of the Loan Agreement or more
frequently as requested by Agent, which reports will be in such other format and
detail as Agent shall request and shall include a current list of all locations
of Inventory, Machinery and Equipment of such Grantor. Such Grantor shall
conduct an inventory no less frequently than annually of all Inventory on
premises owned or leased by such Grantor or any it is Subsidiaries and shall
provide to Agent a report based on each such physical inventory promptly
thereafter, together with such supporting information as Agent shall reasonably
request.
(d) Administration of Equipment. Each Grantor shall, and
shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, keep records of its Equipment
which shall be complete and accurate in all material respects itemizing and
describing the kind, type, quality, quantity and book value of its Equipment and
all dispositions made in accordance with this Agreement, and such Grantor shall
furnish Agent with a current schedule containing the foregoing information on at
least an annual basis and more often if reasonably requested by Agent. Promptly
after the reasonable request therefor by Agent, such Grantor shall deliver to
Agent any and all evidence of ownership, if any, of any Equipment.
(e) Appraisals. When reasonably requested by Agent, each
Grantor shall provide the following: a report of Eligible Container Fleet
Inventory and Eligible Trailer Fleet Inventory by category and by item (in
detail), a report of Inventory, based upon a physical count, which shall
describe Inventory of such Grantor by category and by item (in detail) and
report the then appraised value (at lower of cost or orderly liquidation value)
of such Inventory, and a report of Equipment which shall describe such Grantor's
Equipment (in detail) and report the then appraised value (at lower of cost or
orderly liquidation value) of such Equipment. In addition,
7
when requested by Agent after consultation with such Grantor regarding the scope
and cost of any such appraisal, such Grantor shall provide the Lenders, at such
Grantor's expense, with appraisals or updates thereof of any or all of the
Collateral from an Appraiser. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the appraisals or updates thereof respecting container Inventory
held for lease shall not be requested more than twice during any twelve month
period, other than appraisals of such Inventory in connection with a Permitted
Acquisition. Such Grantor acknowledges and agrees that Agent intends to have
performed such appraisal or update with respect to container Inventory held for
lease at least twice during each twelve month period during the term of this
Agreement.

other disposition of Collateral shall be reasonable notice thereof, and
such sale shall be at such locations as Agent may designate in said

granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights,
during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized
by each Grantor at any time or from time to time, with prior written consent of
Agent and with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to such Grantor (any prior or
contemporaneous notice to such Grantor being hereby expressly waived) to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all (i) balances held by such Lender at
any of its offices for the account of such Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries
(regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Grantor or its
Subsidiaries), and (ii) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender
to or for the credit or for the account of such Grantor or any of its
Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations of Borrower;
provided, that each Lender exercising such rights shall notify Agent thereof
prior to exercise, shall refrain from exercising such right until Agent shall
have confirmed to such Lender that such exercise will not prejudice the rights
of the Lenders, and any amount received as a result of the exercise of such
rights shall be shared in accordance with Subsection 3.8 of the Loan Agreement.
Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall, to the extent the amount of any
such set off exceeds its Revolving Loan Percentage of the amount set off,
purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each such
